Chapter 1457 Winter Solstice Sacrifice to Sea God ([-])
Around the altar by the sea, the distinguished guests who set off from the Sea God Temple had already arrived, and they sat in the colorful sheds with the best view of their own houses, and there was also a big color shed in the Thousand Households, where the soldiers who followed all the way from the city came here to change people. Resting, eating, drinking and drinking, the common people also dispersed to find their own places in the place designated for them to watch the ceremony.

Qi Ke went to the colorful shed of Qianhusuo to grab two pieces of pastries and a cup of tea, mainly to report to Qianhu Shuying, for example, that the wolves bit three groups of people must be mentioned, and then he said "here They are all men, she still went back to her subordinates and watched the wolves by the way" reason and resigned.

When returning to his own people, Qi Ke found that the Detachment of Women pulled out a dozen villagers from Baifugang, including the village chief Li Dagou, from the crowd, and they came to watch the ceremony with the village chief as representatives.

Since the Detachment of Women found them, they naturally had to take them out to protect them. Otherwise, when something happened at sea, who knew what would happen under the crowded crowd.

The sacrificial offerings were presented on the altar, and after a burst of drumming, the Miaozhu came to the stage to read the sacrificial oration to the sea god, and then the sacrificial dance began, and everything was carried out step by step according to the traditional tradition.

Qi Ke's side also began to follow the same order. The big machine floated up from the deep water and took its place at the designated position.

After the sacrificial dance on the stage, the drum music turned into a solemn and solemn tune, and the twittering people also shut up, watching with pious and solemn faces the dozens of bamboo rafts being pulled out one by one by the altar. Dozens of strong men came to the stage and carefully moved the sacrifices into the bamboo rafts.

The human animals and the three animals occupy a raft each, and the melons, fruits, vegetables, and flowers are piled up as soon as they can be piled up, and they are moved to the next bamboo raft when they can't fit. an empty one.

The prepared bamboo rafts were then pulled to the wet beach by the strong men. In order to avoid the unlucky sacrifices falling, they walked very slowly. Except for the two in front who pulled the raft with ropes, there were two behind with their arms open. To protect the sacrifice, that is to say, four people are used for one bamboo raft.

Also in order to protect the sacrifices and shorten the distance from the sacrifices to the sea, the altar is very close to the sea, and Qi Ke wanted to use this to let the locals see the consequences of offending the sea god.

During this slow process, the bamboo raft was finally pulled to the beach where the waves beat the shore. The people got out of the way, and the people behind them pushed the raft hard for a few more steps. When they could hardly step on the bottom of the sea, they pushed the raft as far as possible.

Among the taboos of giving sacrifices, the sacrifices must be completely submerged in the sea. The three animals, fruits and vegetables sink into the sea, and the flowers will float on the water. .

The strong men stopped and returned to the shore one after another. The big underwater machines started to make waves, and the bamboo rafts shook violently. The crowd on the sea cheered continuously, thinking that this was the sacrifice that the Sea God liked this year, and they couldn't wait to collect them all. Walk.

So, under the expectant gaze of the people, the bamboo raft carrying the human animal shook again, and the already weak human animal fell into the water crookedly.

The cheers on the shore grew louder. Patriarch Jiang stroked his beard and accepted the congratulations from the people around him with joy and complacency. Many families took the initiative, thinking whether they would sacrifice themselves next year.
