Chapter 464: Totem Worship
Drumming and blowing sheng!
Bursts of mourning and joy rang out in unison!
Su Lin and Zou Ziqi, as well as Ye Hongye who followed behind, the three of them walked through the mansions, looking for mourning, and walked briskly towards the direction of the historical tree. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the entire Ji Mansion, there are many stone arch bridges, one after another, and the bottom of each one was originally gurgling, but now it is flowing bright red blood.
As Su Lin expected, all the major mansions along the way were empty.
It was deserted, filled with a dead silence, not at all like a mansion that had just been inhabited yesterday.
Moreover, not only the bloodline clansmen of the direct line of the Ji Mansion, but even those servants who have no bloodline connection are all missing.
"Shizi, you have to be cautious in your words and deeds for a while, no matter what happens, this is the Ji family's own business, we ...... After all, it's just an outsider. ”
Along the way, Ye Hongye, a scholar, was worried and reminded Su Lin to pay attention.
Ye Hongye couldn't understand Su Lin's personality very well, so he was worried that Su Lin's actions would make the Ji family lively if he didn't notice it for a while.
"Don't worry, Lao Ye, I know the severity. ”
Nodding, Surin looked at the distance, and then passed through the two mansions, and he could reach the location of the Central History Tree.
"Brother Su, look at it. At the door of the mansion over there, someone finally saw it. ”
Zou Ziqi pointed to the door of the mansion in front of him on the right, and sure enough, he saw several members of the Ji Mansion, dressed in sackcloth, kneeling at the door of the mansion.
"Shizi, the person at the head is not Ji Fu, the big butler of the monsoon rain yesterday?"
Walking forward a little, Ye Hongye recognized one of them.
"That's right! It's Ji Fu, he is a scholar of Hallym University, just right, let's go forward to inquire about the situation with him first, and avoid really going in for a while, I don't know why. ”
Su Lin also recognized Ji Fu, so he stepped forward and asked Ji Fu: "Steward Fu, what happened in the Ji Mansion today......?
"Su Shizi, this ......"
Seeing Su Lin come to ask, Ji Fu was also a little embarrassed, obviously inconvenient to tell Su Lin about it.
"Butler Fu has any scruples?"
Su Lin also saw Ji Fu's embarrassment, so he pointed to the inside and said, "Then you don't have to tell us about the specific matters, just tell me, Ji Yu and Uncle Ji, are they paying tribute to the history tree inside, but there is something wrong with that history tree?"
"Hmm!"
Ji Fu could only nod silently, and then said, "The head of the family will explain that if Su Shizi finds here, he will let you in." ”
"Uncle Ji expected that we would definitely come over?"
Su Lin was stunned, but this is fine, Ji Shu expected that he would come over, so it would not be abrupt to go in.
"Son, be careful! Be cautious in your words and deeds......"
Ye Hongye reminded again.
"Brother Su, since that's the case, let's go in and take a look!"
Zou Ziqi pondered for a moment, instigating Su Lindao.
"Good!"
With a decision in his heart, Su Lin stepped in, and in less than half an hour, he walked out of the last mansion, and then saw thousands of children of the Ji family, dressed in linen and filial piety, all kneeling neatly in front of the central history tree.
Just like the sacrificial ceremonies of some cults, the children of the Ji family were all gloomy, losing all their spiritual brilliance, muttering in their mouths, but their faces were expressionless, and they emitted strange tones with the ups and downs of the mournful music.
"The people of the Ji family are really all in it. ”
Zou Ziqi also saw this kind of scene for the first time, but suddenly for a while, he pointed with a trembling finger and said, "This ...... Could this be the ancient totem worship?"
"What? Totem worship? This is impossible! Such an ignorant ancient method should have disappeared long ago. Since Holy Week, the people of all countries in our Tianren Continent have put an end to the method of totem worship, and even the temple has included totem worship in the forbidden arts!"
Ye Hongye, who was on the side, heard this, but immediately denied it.
However, Su Lin frowned, for this totem worship method, Su Lin had a special understanding of it when he had read various ancient books before.
In ancient times, the human race was weak, far less powerful than those birds, beasts and animals, not to mention those powerful demon beasts.
Therefore, the human race has formed a psychology of worship and worship for all kinds of creatures that are stronger than itself under the long-term struggle for survival.
The Terrans envied the wings of the birds, and hoped to gain the same ability to fly freely, so they portrayed the image of the birds and worshiped them, hoping that one day they would also gain such abilities.
The human race envied the ferocity of the tiger, hoping that the tiger could become the protector of their tribe and drive away other beasts, so they also carved the pattern of the tiger, and the tribesmen worshiped day and night.
The human race was afraid of the power of the thunderbolt in the sky, and hoped that nature would not rain such a punishment thunder, so they carved the lightning pattern and prayed day and night.
The human race was amazed by the mystery of the endless flow of the river, and also hoped that the continuous flow of the river would bring a continuous source of water for the development of the tribe, so they carved the pattern of the river and worshiped it day and night.
......
Whether it is on the earth or in this Tianren Continent, the early human tribes were in a period of ignorance and uncivilized, and they had such totem worship for all kinds of natural creatures and even natural phenomena.
In fact, the totem worship of each tribe is completely different.
Some worship birds, some tigers, wolves, giant elephants, thunderbolts, winds that come and go, lava volcanoes, and rivers that flow endlessly......
The final effect of such totem worship is unexpected by the human tribe, and it is also quite diverse.
But what the specific effect is, Surin can't read from those ancient books, but it is worth noting that it seems that the human race has gradually become stronger since the beginning of totem worship, and has gradually begun to understand that thought is the most fundamental and powerful force in the whole world.
In other words, totem worship opened the journey of the human race to conquer the entire Tianren Continent.
But it is also worth noting that after Holy Week, totem worship has become an evil art that the Tianren Continent has blindly eliminated.
As for the scene in front of him, it is obvious that Su Lin also agrees with what Zou Ziqi said, all the Ji family members are carrying out totem worship rituals.
And their totem is, undoubtedly, the bloody historical tree in front of them......
