Chapter 193: Totemic Beliefs

The pure brilliance of the invisible form gradually condensed and took shape on the altar.

The gods who knelt down could not see the glorious existence, but could only feel something grandiose, solemn, and solemn. Only Hou Chang and Ling Yun in the field can see this glorious existence.

"Is that the light of faith?" Looking at the bright light on the altar, Ling Yun's heart shook: "What a pure faith ......"

"Faith is so pure!" his gaze swept over the gods and men who were worshipping sincerely, and he couldn't help but marvel at their pure faith: "I'm afraid that only in the period when the gods and people have just been born and have no distractions in their hearts can such pure faith be produced!"

Faith is what people pray for, and what people want is complicated, and faith cannot be so pure. Unless it is a fanatical believer who has abandoned some distractions, it is generally impossible to produce such pure faith. However, this situation will occur in the Divine Race, which should be regarded as a special case in Ling Yun's opinion.

Hou Chang stood high on the altar, while singing the sacrificial song of the sacrifice to the earth, while waving his hand, let the sacrifices on the altar line up and back, one by one into the sacrificial fire.

When the sacrifice falls into the sacrificial fire, it is like pouring oil on the fire, and the sacrificial fire instantly bursts into flames. The tongue of fire is high in the void, and the shadows are full of shadows, revealing some kind of mysterious existence.

Until this time, the vast sacrificial song gradually became high, and the power of faith began to boil as the sacrificial song gradually became high. The boiling power of pure faith gradually converged and wrapped around the totem pole, slowly merging into the totem.

Far away, as the bearer of the power of faith, Houtu opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Dazhou Mountain. Hou Tu glanced at it slightly, and with a flick of her fingers, a little divine light passed through the distant void in an instant, and landed on the totem pole located in the Shoushan tribe.

In an instant, the power of faith gathered on the totem pole suddenly collapsed and condensed, turning into something like a dragon and a snake, coiled on the totem pole.

Ling Yun looked at the changes on the totem pole, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised: "There are still such changes?" He took a closer look, and the dragon and snake transformed by the power of faith on the totem pole seemed to contain some kind of mysterious power.

Hou Chang saw the change in the totem pole, and immediately understood that it was Houtu who made a move, he looked at the direction of the Houtu Temple and bowed from afar, and then pointed his hand unhurriedly, and the dragon snake turned by the power of faith suddenly soared.

The dragon snake soared into the air, then twisted its body and slammed headlong into the ground. Without the slightest hindrance, the form of the dragon and serpent transformed by the power of faith disappeared into the earth. Only the ripples stirred up on the spiritual level have not dissipated for a long time.

Ling Yun on the side hurriedly used his Wisdom Eye to scan the ground, and saw a faint spiritual light, centered on the altar, sticking to the ground and spreading in all directions. The ground of the entire valley was soon shrouded in a faint spiritual light.

β€œ...... What is this doing?" Ling Yun was slightly puzzled, not knowing what he was going to do in the future.

However, after the spiritual light of the belief of the Divine Human Race melted into the earth, Ling Yun felt that this place had become a little different. He didn't feel any different, but in his senses: the land seemed to be more stable, and at the same time seemed to be more vibrant!

Scanning around at the changes in the earth, the doubts in Ling Yun's heart had not yet been solved, and many new doubts had been added. Secretly deliberating about the usual practices, Ling Yun was always at a loss.

I didn't get any results after a long time of calculation, so I simply put this matter aside.

Ling Yun set his eyes on the festival below, and since the dragon and snake had lost land, the entire festival had entered the final stage. The gods stood up from their prostrations, their eyes fixed on the altar.

The last line of the memorial song, accompanied by the usual gentle tune, gradually begins to end. When the last note fell, the blazing fire on the altar suddenly went out, revealing the charred sacrifice inside.

Looking at those sacrifices, a thought suddenly flashed in Ling Yun's heart: "It's all burned like this, can you still eat it?"

These sacrifices were all prepared by the gods and men with great effort, and many of them were relatively powerful animals, and it was extremely difficult to hunt. These are the prey that the gods and men have spent a lot of effort to catch. Wouldn't it be too wasteful if it had all been burned clean by the sacrificial fire, but there was still a lot of food left, and it would be wasted like this?

Simply, Hou Chang and Ling Yun were both in the same mind, and he let all these sacrifices after the sacrifice be taken by the gods in the tribe as food and distributed them to everyone to eat.

The charred skin is removed, revealing the edible part of the inside. Perhaps because of the intense roasting, the charred skin quickly locks in the moisture inside. Aside from the fact that some of the essence was drained during the sacrifice, the sacrificial food was not damaged. After the gods and men got their hands on the food, they began to feast on it.

Hou Chang stood on the edge of the altar, looked at the totem pole on the altar, and fell into deep thought. Ling Yun came to the altar and followed to look at the totem pole, after this festival, it was originally just a totem pole carved from ordinary wood, and there was a faint aura on it that was invisible to the naked eye.

At this time, Hou Chang came back to his senses and looked at Ling Yun: "Brother Ling Yun, what do you think about this festival?"

Ling Yun looked at the aura of the totem pole and replied absentmindedly: "It's remarkable, both sides have gained many benefits!"

Hou often knows what Ling Yun is referring to, in fact, the biggest effect of this festival is to eliminate the unstable distractions in the entire tribe, and by the way, to fight for the faith of Hou Tu Niangniang. Establish faith through festivals, let faith replace those distractions caused by idle and boring, so that the whole tribe can maintain a high degree of cohesion, and in this way, to achieve better development.

However, Hou Chang shook his head at this time and said, "Are you preparing this festival for Hou Tu Niangniang?"

"What?" Ling Yun looked back at him in surprise, "Could it be that there is something else in this?"

Hou Chang turned his gaze to the totem pole, and Ling Yun also looked at the totem pole with him, and he listened to Hou Chang and said slowly: "Actually, the object of this festival is not Niang Niang herself, but hereβ€”β€”"

He pointed to his feet, Ling Yun followed his fingers, looked at the ground under his feet, and immediately understood the meaning of his words - what Hou Chang was referring to was not to sacrifice the earth under his feet, but to the land under his feet.

The object of worship established by the festival is to connect with the earth under our feet with the help of the divine power of the earth. The object of sacrifice is more of the land on which they are stepping on it.

Thinking of this, Ling Yun suddenly understood why there were many incomprehensible meanings in the picture composed of witch inscriptions on the totem pole.

The totem pole is not only depicting the earth, but also the power of the earth.

The totem pole is not only a vessel used to depict the divine power of Houtu and communicate with Houtu, but also a faith transformer, which is used to transform the sacrificial beliefs of the entire tribe into some kind of mysterious power, so that it can be integrated into the earth, so that faith can be completely rooted in this land.

After seeing Ling Yun's expression, he suddenly realized, and smiled slightly: "You can take a look again!" As he spoke, he pointed his hand, and suddenly saw the spiritual light on the totem pole rising suddenly, and then spreading.

Ling Yun immediately picked up his discerning eyes and carefully scanned the ground under his feet.

The land under his feet, in the light of the spiritual light rising from the totem pole, seemed to turn into transparent glass, and the flow of earth qi under the earth became clearly visible in the eyes of the Wisdom Eye.

Looking at the scene under the earth, Ling Yun couldn't help but show a look of surprise: "This is ......"
