Hidden Mountain Demon

Chapter 72
On New Year's Eve, the New Year's Eve, nineteen demon kings from the southeast mountains gathered at Tiger King Mountain.

There are not many festivals for the Yaozu. Normally, there is only the day of the Yaowang’s birthday in the Yaowang Mountain, so the little demons under him can play to their heart’s content and provide some wine, fruit and meat to fill their stomachs. Confused, few remember their own birthdays.

Some demon kings like to be lively, so they find a random day to celebrate their own birthdays, and the rest don't even have this rare festival. Like the two cold-blooded snake kings in Huangyun Cave, they don't know what the festival is.

Only at the end of the year, when we bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, the turbid air between the heaven and the earth sinks, and the fresh air flourishes, containing countless vitality.

Regardless of human beings, ghosts and ghosts, thousands of creatures in the world will all sacrifice to heaven and earth at the end of the new year.

In the early morning of this day, the atmosphere in Huwang Mountain was silently boiling, and the undiscovered snow in the shade of the mountain field seemed to melt much faster.

Chen Shi,

The eastern sun has risen high, and the sky is clear and airy!
Before dawn in the morning, the little demons of Tiger King Mountain had already started preparations. At this time, in the big place at the foot of Tiger King Peak, a three-foot-high altar had been set up. The altar was divided into three layers from bottom to top, and each layer was divided into third order.

At the very top of the altar, there is a huge sacrificial altar, on which are placed three main offerings, namely carp, black ox, and golden pheasant, which symbolize water, land, and sky, and several plates of fresh fruits are placed beside them. Melons and vegetables are used as accompanying sacrifices.

In the arena, all the monsters in the Huwang Mountain are already gathered. Standing at the front are Yin Niangniang, the lord of the southeast mountains, and Jiangliang, the god of Tiangui Mountain.

Following the two demon ancestors standing behind were the nineteen demon kings from the southeast mountains and the five children of Empress Yin, neatly lined up in a row, followed by dozens of demon generals in the mountain field. , standing quietly behind the demon king.

After the demon generals came the three thousand little demons from the Huwang Mountain Field and the accompanying little demons brought by the demon kings. They were bustling but solemn.

"Woo—" A long horn sounded from the altar,
The auspicious time has come!

"Boom--", "Boom--", "Boom--", "Boom--", "Boom--" there were dull drum sounds.

In the sound of drums, the two demon ancestors walked forward slowly, followed by a group of demon kings and demon generals.

When walking to the first floor of the altar, the demon will stop; on the second floor, the demon king stamps his feet; on the top of the high altar, two demon ancestors stand side by side.

"Boom--", "Boom--" the loud drumming stopped.

The two demon ancestors picked up two jade bowls from the altar, which contained blood wine as bright as amber.

He turned around with the blood wine in his hand.

The two demon ancestors dipped some wine from the bowl with their index fingers, flicked it into the air, and shouted in unison: "We, the demon clan, are overwhelmed by the sky, respect the sky!"

The demon kings and generals on the first and second floors of the altar and the little demons in the arena knelt down and yelled in unison: "Respect—God!" After shouting, they fell to the ground and kowtowed three times.

After all the demons stood up, the two demon ancestors dipped in the wine again, bounced to the ground, and shouted again: "We wait for the demon clan, the earth contains, respect the earth!"

The monsters in the audience still followed the previous ritual, knelt down and shouted in unison: "Jing-di!" After shouting, they kowtowed three times and stood up.

Afterwards, the two demon ancestors drank wine and bounced into the air again: "The sun and the moon are shining, strengthen my body, respect the sun and the moon!"

The monsters in the arena bent over and kowtowed to salute.

Next time: "The stars are shining, show my supernatural powers, and respect the stars!"

The last time: "I wait for the demon clan, I was born to raise and respect the demon!" As the two demon ancestors shouted, two crystal blood wines were splashed between the heaven and the earth.

"Respect—monster!" Thousands of monsters shouted loudly in unison, raising their arms and shouting wildly, the monster aura shook, and echoes echoed in the mountain field.

Saluting five times, kneeling five times and prostrating five times,
"Woo——" With the sound of long ox horns swaying far away in the mountain field, this long and wild sacrifice has just come to an end.

Ban Cang mixed in it, in this thick and warm atmosphere, his heart was surging like a sea tide, his whole body was boiling with enthusiasm, and he forgot all the restlessness of the past few days.

"This is the Yaozu!" Ban Cang murmured in his heart.

If a race wants its members to have a sense of identity with this race, then this race must have its own unique civilization and heritage.

The New Year's Eve sacrifices are over, and all the monsters in the mountain are relaxed, and there are no more monsters to be on duty today.

Yin Niangniang opened the storeroom directly, and the supply of meat, wine and drinks was uninterrupted. There are groups of monsters everywhere in the mountain field, calling for friends, gathering together to laugh and play, and several lively places in the Huwang Mountain Field are full of monsters. .

Several water mats have been spread out in the mountain field, and countless delicacies are all on display.

The stewed lamb is soft, the suckling pig is roasted crispy, the bear's paw and turtle meat are packed into plates, and the dried meat and grilled fish are chopped into large pieces.

Fat beef, big deer, tenderloin pounded into meatballs; wild sheep, musk deer, breast meat cut into thin slices.

Then there is the animal blood wine to quench thirst, and honey juice to warm the stomach.

Dried scallops, skirts are just ordinary, duck breasts, monkey heads in buckets, fish crisps in big bowls, deer tendons in a whole basket...

A group of little demons are holding wine barrels, you toast a bowl, and I drink a jug, having a great time playing.

"Hey-hey-hey", "Ho-hoo-hoo".

Another group of goblins roared and rushed into the arena holding up various animal skin flags. They ran vertically and horizontally, and the flags surged, which was extremely spectacular.

There was that little demon who was proficient in fire magic, and the fire bullets hit the sky one by one, and exploded in mid-air, which was extremely gorgeous.

There was that little demon who was proficient in water flow technique, rolled up the water dragon, hovered ragingly in the air, splashed water droplets, and was illuminated by the sun, shining brightly.

There are also those who are proficient in woodwork, countless vines grow, dance in the wind, and form countless shapes in the air.

…………

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" A wolf demon found a few animal bones from nowhere, and beat each other with unknown rhymes, ethereal and strange.

"Woo, woo, woo—" the monkey demons took out a few wooden whistles, blew them, and swayed melodiously.

There are also little bird demons, larks, skylarks, thrushes, willow warblers... all of them singing in a mellow manner.

Then there were more sounds in the arena, such as the knocking of stones, the distant sound of the bone flute, the whimpering of leaves, the howling of wolves, the cry of apes, the cry of frogs...

In winter, the days are not long, and the day is gradually getting closer. The sun is approaching the West Mountain, and the sky is dim.

The little demons were still playing their tricks, and they were in high spirits.

A group of little demons formed a circle, bonfires were lit everywhere in the mountain field, and sumo wrestled, the fat pig demon shook its belly, and the old cow demon shook its fat buttocks... Beside it was surrounded by Yingying Yanyan, and the white crane demon danced on one foot , The peacock demon Caiyu is flying....

Roughness and softness are strangely blended together at this time.

There are many activities of the monsters playing tricks, and the mountain field is full of excitement, and Ban Cang also enjoys watching it.

Chi Zui is even more lively, he found two jars of good wine from somewhere, gave Ban Cang one jar, and drank together.

Drink in big bowls and eat meat in big mouthfuls.

Knock on the bones and dance the beast flag.

Drink blood wine and sing the bone flute.

What a joy to be a monster!
One day of jubilation, the sun fell to the west mountain without realizing it.

Ban Cang caught a glimpse of the setting sun inadvertently, the sun was shining brightly, the green hills were misty, and the boundless red sunset glow spread out half of the sky.Looking down at the jubilant little demon in the mountain field, Ban Cang felt a vague sense of unreality in his heart.

But at this time, in a hall of Tiger King Peak, there was another scene.

　Happy Chinese New Year everyone, the new year is full of vigor, and everyone is a vigorous person!
