Winter is coming. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, there was not much knowledge of spring, summer, autumn and winter in the north, and each tribe had a saying about the reincarnation of the four seasons. But later, Yuan and Mongolia established the kingdom and imitated Middle-earth in many ways, so there was a saying about winter.

Winter is approaching, and frost and snow are coming.

Further north, heavy snow has already begun.

When the frost and snow come, it will be cold to the bone, and it will be a great disaster in terms of food, disease, and clothing.

In this season, no matter how big or small the tribe is, even if it is as prosperous as the steppe tribe, there will inevitably be people who die in the cold winter, including the elderly, children, and the injured and sick.

But here in the barbarians, there is never frost and snow.

Although the winter here is also cold, there is never frost or snow.

Perhaps it is because of the volcano behind the barbarians, which hides earth fire and affects the celestial phenomena, so there will be no frost and snow falling here. But for the people of the tribe, this is the gift of the god of fire.

The ancestors of the barbarian tribe, before the birth of the gods, suffered from the frequent eruptions of volcanoes in this place, but still did not move here, although I don't know the specific reason, but if you think about it, one of the reasons may be related to the warmth of this place, which is conducive to survival in winter.

And today is the winter solstice.

This is the day set by Yuan Meng according to the four hours and eight festivals of Middle-earth.

And for the barbarians, this is the day of worship to the god of fire.

Every winter, it is a year of rotation.

The barbarians originally had a Yuanmeng garrison, but at this time, the garrison generals had to return to the grassland, perhaps to spend the ice and snow winter with their clansmen, or to hand over errands.

And next year, another batch of new troops will come.

Although there are still more than 100 Yuanmeng troops left in the barbarian department, the number is not much, and they can easily cope with the past.

So on this day, it is the only remaining festival among the many customs and traditions of the barbarians.

......

For Yuanmeng, the tribes that have already surrendered have never been able to raise much turmoil, not to mention that the barbarian fire god has been destroyed, so it is not a matter of concern, so it is inevitable that they will be neglected.

But I'm afraid that no one will know that there are foreign demons who know how to absorb incense and steal the god position, so that the barbarian department will have a new god in a few decades.

Originally, the paper couldn't contain the fire, but there were not many garrisons, and the demon god personally took action, all of them were blinded, and then they were confused by the barbarian people, but they were not discovered by Yuan Meng over the years.

Seeing that today's sacrifice is quite prosperous, I think that the demon god also attaches great importance to it.

The reason why He didn't personally go to Qingyuan's trouble is actually related to this.

"Sacrificial ......"

Kiyohara stood on a high place, looking at the distant tribe.

The mountain peaks there are slightly darker, pitch black and faintly reddish, with a relatively hot atmosphere, diffuse.

There are traces of tribes outside the mountain, but when I see the houses and villages, they stretch away, filling a large area, which is far from being comparable to the small tribe from Suguan.

The dark peaks are where the volcano is.

At the bottom of the mountain is the barbarian.

But looking at the size of the tribe, it is enough to save as many as 100,000 people, and looking at the entire north, there are very few tribes with such a large number.

"I didn't see the breath of the demon god, but that ...... Is that the original Vulcan God?"

Qing Yuan had already learned something from the mouths of Wen Lao and Fang Ming, and afterwards released the four of them and left them to fend for themselves, while he himself came to the barbarian department.

Looking at the huge statue in front of him, Qing Yuan could sense a bit of fiery divine power.

The idol is twelve feet high, and the whole body is stony, and the ash is red, and it is made of rocks from the volcano. Looking at his appearance, he looks like a middle-aged man, with upright facial features and majestic bearing, and his body is also very burly and strong.

Volcanoes erupt from time to time, and this deity exists in the desire of the human heart, which is to receive the fire of the Heavenly King, so he puts his hands up, meaning to receive the fire of calamity.

The statues of the gods that have been worshiped by the barbarians for countless years were broken decades ago, which caused strong resistance from the barbarians at that time, but they were all suppressed under the bloodbath.

And this statue of the god was later taken from the volcanic rocks, quietly made, usually hidden, every winter solstice, it will be invited out, as a sacrifice, strengthen the faith, restore the tribe for countless years...... Spirit.

......

There is a river outside the barbarian part, which is more than 20 zhang wide and several miles long, and flows into the lake.

The source of this river is actually from the vicinity of the volcano, the front end of the river is slightly warm, white gas curling, and as the river goes down, the water temperature is gradually cold.

The barbarians gathered in a crowd of 10,000 people, and they bowed to the statue of the god by the river.

There are offering tables, cattle, sheep and livestock, bacon and dried fish, melons, fruits, wild vegetables and other things, which are slightly different from the strict rituals such as Middle Earth, and the things that are sacrificed are also different.

Although the ceremony is rough, the hundreds of offering tables stretch into a scene, which is also quite shocking and spectacular.

Ten thousand people worship, this is an extremely rare scene in Middle-earth.

But in the barbarian department, there is a bit of a bleak feeling.

Before the barbarians were attacked by Yuanmeng, nearly 100,000 tribesmen worshiped sincerely, and there were many surrounding tribes of 10,000 people, tribes of 1,000 people, and tribes of 100 people, all of whom worshiped the god of fire under the deterrence of the barbarians.

In the past dynasties, at its peak, there were 600,000 followers of the barbarian fire god, and this was only a certain period. Under the heyday of such generation after generation, under the accumulation of countless years, the barbarian fire god ...... The multitude of its divine power does not know how huge.

And today's scene, compared with back then, is really a bit "shabby".

But for the new god, it was already an unimaginable scene.

"Coming soon?"

Kiyohara looked at the statue, and there was no aura attached to the gods.

According to Fang Ming, in order to avoid the sight of the Yuanmeng army, the statue sank in the water all the year round, and the new god was also a fire, so he didn't like it, and there was another hiding place.

Whenever the winter solstice is worshipped, he will attach himself to the statue of the god as a manifestation, consolidate the devotion of the believers, and avoid the lack of a manifestation for many years, under the persecution of the Yuan Meng, the tribe gradually lost the belief in their ancestors to worship the gods.

"It's coming. ”

Qingyuan suddenly paused, and his breathing stagnated slightly.

The technique of Qiankun closure has exhausted all the breath.

But see ahead of that.

There was a ray of red light, which suddenly came out from the source of the river, and suddenly came along the river.

Everywhere the red light goes, the river boils.

I saw that on the surface of the river at the source of the river, white smoke and mist suddenly rose and diffused.

It was as if there was a lot of white smoke and mist coming along the river.

"The god of fire has appeared!"

"The god of fire has appeared ......"

Countless voices of joy, excitement and shock, one after another.

So there were countless devout believers who bowed down.

Immediately, a large number of people appeared in the rear, and two wooden boats were carried out, which were like bamboo rafts.

On a bamboo raft, there were eighty-one girls.

On one of the bamboo rafts, there were eighty-one boys.

"Blood Sacrifice ......"

Qing Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a ray of cold light, if it weren't for the suppression of the June Impure Vision, he could hardly help but vent two points of killing intent. (To be continued.) )
