through primitive society

Chapter 537 The Power of the Spring Festival (4)
At this moment, Wu Xiyue was in a delicate mood.

At that time last year, she was also a member of the kneeling crowd, but it was a change in summer, autumn and winter. She jumped from a kneeling person to a wizard who could preside over the ceremony.

It would be a lie to say in your heart not to panic!
How can you not panic?She is a fake wizard who is easy to kill.

The sandalwood soon floated into the noses of all the clansmen. They had never smelled such a delicious and rich aroma, and they couldn't help but feel shocked. This, this, this...is this a fragrance that only gods can enjoy?Otherwise, why have they never been away before, and they haven't seen Kekewu make such a fragrance at the festival.

They didn't dare to raise their heads without the order of the wizard. The scent of sandalwood made them keep sucking their noses, hoping that the scent would stay by their side for a longer time.

Wu Xiyue herself knelt down and kowtowed reverently to the sky.Muttering words silently in his mouth is nothing more than to bless the tribe with good weather and bless the people of the tribe with nowhere to go.

Three kowtows and nine bows are also good and bad, and they are divided into men and women. Nine bows are the most important etiquette in the ceremony, and they have the meaning of expressing mourning and special respect.

The ritual above is used for Jibai, which is to worship first and then to pray.

At the beginning of the Nine Worships, they were all the main sacrifices. Later, it was the longest and most frequently used basic etiquette in Chinese patriarchal and feudal society since the Zhou and Qin Dynasties.

Wu Xiyue knows etiquette quite well. After prostrating three times and prostrating nine times, she walked to the side of the altar with a dignified face and clear voice, and said, "Each tribe can send a member of the clan to ask the altar for fortune-telling. That is to say, what do you want?" Xiangshen knows whether what I want to do is smooth or dangerous, and I get instructions from the gods through my divination."

As soon as the words fell, the clansmen kneeling below were a little stunned.

There is no human sacrifice here...how is it different from when Ke Kewu was there?Although they had doubts in their hearts, they didn't dare to speak out at all, and when they heard that they could send their clansmen to the altar to ask the gods about luck, all the clansmen showed joy.

Thinking about going up, seeing that no one took the initiative to go up, he didn't dare to go to the altar rashly.

You must know that when Ke Kewu was there, only he and a few men from the Bua tribe could go up to the altar.I remember one time, because a child who didn't understand anything climbed up the altar, Ke Kewu directly asked Ke Kewu to stab the child's body with his fangs, and warned all the clansmen that anyone who dared to climb up the altar would be disrespectful to the gods.

After this incident, all the clansmen were frightened by Kekewu's cruelty and viciousness. After that, many people did not dare to approach the altar, let alone go up.

After all, the people of the Misuo tribe are more familiar with Wu Xiyue. After Huo Jia gave Abenla a wink, he saw Abenla stand up. go up.

Seeing that they were all so frightened, Wu Xiyue twitched the corners of her mouth slightly and simply sat on the edge of the altar, asking about Abella who dared not come up.

"Wizard, I want to know whether the direction our tribe is headed in is good or bad." Abula asked what was currently on the minds of all the Miso tribe.

The clansman who helped Wu Xiyue put the sacrifices on the altar hadn't retreated yet, they lit a fire and took out the plastron that had been prepared a long time ago; now, she is so damn painful that she starts to pretend, sometimes she pretends that she really has So those who think they are a wizard.

In the primitive society, a wizard borrowed a tortoise shell to ask for good luck, and when she baked the round dimple that had been smashed on the plastron with a little burning red Jing Zhi, a flash of inspiration flashed through her mind.

Could it be that the tortoiseshell in the primitive society asked about luck...in fact, she, a half-toned wizard, invented it?As this thought flashed through her mind, Wu Xiyue shuddered fiercely, and something that seemed to be in the clouds became clear.

Floor heating, barbecues, wooden houses, stone tools, simple bows and arrows, and now the tortoise shell is used to tell good or bad luck.Summarizing what she did in the primitive society...it's like leading the primitive people through the period of ignorance and heading towards the Stone Age...

Of course, this is just the fact that the Cangcuo tribe has reached the stone age, and other tribes still don't know what stone tools are.

And she also has selfish intentions. She didn't tell which of the Misuo tribe was the production of the stone tools, but she didn't want the Cangcuo tribe to be fully powerful and let other tribes take the lead.

Vitex got into the round hole of the plastron, and soon, a few wisps of green smoke came out of the plastron, and dissipated in front of Wu Xiyue's eyes.

Pulling away the extinguished wattle, Wu Xiyue carefully identified the small cracks on the tortoise shell that were being baked.She had learned a little how to distinguish good from bad from the cracks in front of the Miao wizards.

After reading it, he waved to Abella, "Come up, the gods have told me whether the direction you are going is good or bad." With the wizard's words, Abula walked towards the altar without any further hesitation. .

Wu Xiyue asked him to sit beside her, and showed him the cracked tortoise shell, "I saw the instructions of the gods on the tortoise shell, and the gods told me to tell you that the direction you are going may be dangerous, but in the end you will still Will make my wish come true.”

In the wizard's opinion, the vertical lines on the surface of the tortoise shell are called "Zhao", and the horizontal lines are called "坼 (Yinche)". Wu Xiyue saw more vertical lines than horizontal lines. Out of the spirit of the gods, he told Abile that the thing he wanted to ask was that the good was more than the bad.

Abella was very happy when she heard it, and the gods told the Misuo tribe that they would be able to regain their former territory.

After bowing down piously to Wu Xiyue three times, Abile stepped down from the altar and brought the good news to Hoja and his clansmen.

Soon, another tribal leader walked up to the altar and asked respectfully whether the thing he wanted to know was bad or good. Wu Xiyue also used the same method to divination for him.

In this way, it took her much longer than it took for Kekewu to hold a ceremony.Even so, the clansmen kneeling under the altar did not complain at all.

Just hearing that the abolition of human sacrifices in the wizarding month has made the clansmen and leaders of the small tribe heaved a sigh of relief. It is good not to use human sacrifices. There are already few people in the clan. Disappeared in the Mo River area.
