"Why? I obviously have no enmity with you for no reason, what did I take from you?" Mu Lingzhen was forced to retreat to the edge of the cliff, and if she took a step back, she would fall off the cliff.

"These questions, you better go to the Yama Hall and ask!" As he spoke, the man in black slashed at Mu Lingzhen, and when Mu Lingzhen subconsciously dodged the knife sideways, she suddenly lost her center of gravity when she was empty, and she didn't even shout out a frightened voice, so she fell straight backwards......

In the rapid fall, a trace of memory flashed in Mu Lingzhen's head, and then it was blank and unconscious......

At the same time, an ancient and mysterious huge tribe is performing a ritual of worshipping the heavens in a field near the Qishan Junling Mountains, which is crisscrossed by streams and waterfalls. Among them, a masked dancer is presiding over the ritual with a powerful high priest.

During the sacrifice, drums are noisy, and hundreds of people gather around to recite the sacrificial texts, play elegant music, burn the offerings, and dance the sacrificial dance. Sometimes they form a circle of shapes, and sometimes they are strange and strange like formations.

But what is astonishing is that the sacrifices on the altar are the flesh and blood of the men of their own clan, that is, the princes; to put it bluntly, they are sacrificed as living people, and they must be noble-status clansmen, and ordinary clansmen do not have this right.

They have always believed that the sacrifice of a prince to the gods is a special right, not for ordinary people, and this so-called "glory" is only given to the noblest people.

In human sacrifices, the person who is the sacrifice is placed on the altar and his limbs are tied, so that he cannot resist or flee when he is in pain. They would try to prolong the painful struggle of the sacrificed person in order to make him shed as many tears as possible, because they believed that the tears of the sacrificer symbolized the rain, so the more tears he shed, the more abundant the rain in that year.

(Some primitive tribes brutally sacrificed human beings because they believed that the birth of something new, such as crops, was based on the death of something else.) Without death, there is no regeneration (reproduction). That is to say, death and rebirth are two interdependent aspects of the same thing, and that in order for man and all other living things to continue to reproduce, there must be the death of other people or creatures at the same time. ）

And at this moment, the high priest is reciting the oath of sacrifice to heaven in front of all things in the sky:

"Heaven and earth are long, the universe is clear, and the gods say in front of the throne, remembering our people;

The spirit of the land gathers the wind and rain;

Each has his own place, and all things are born, and with my blood, I sacrifice to the gods and emperors;

The five plagues are separated, and the calamities are not stained;

Pray for the Holy Maiden, reappear in her original body, save the world and suppress disasters, and protect my gods!"

After the high priest had recited the complete oath to heaven, everyone under the altar repeated the sentence in unison:

"With my blood body, sacrifice to the Heavenly God Emperor, pray for the Holy Spirit Maiden, reappear in the original body, save the world and suppress disasters, and protect my God Clan!"

"With my blood body, sacrifice to the Heavenly God Emperor, pray for the Holy Spirit Maiden, reappear in the original body, save the world and suppress disasters, and protect the ...... of my God Clan"

I don't know how many times they chanted this sentence in a row, and suddenly the heavens and the earth went dark, and a sudden gust of wind wantonly destroyed the altar, and the mourning flags full of bells had already been blown down everywhere by the wind, causing a burst of jingling bells to disturb people's minds.

At the same time as the wind blows, a sudden rain of blood falls in the dark sky, but this is not the reason for everyone's surprise, along with the rain of blood: there is also a woman in blood who suddenly appears and lies in the center of the altar......
