Chapter 378 The coming of the Holy Sacrifice Day!(1/2)
When Lu Yan heard Younian's story, he finally learned the entire picture of the Battle between Zhurong and Gonggong, the Breakthrough of Mount Buzhou, and the Lich War.
all in all.
The origin of all this is because of Zhurong and her appearance!
It was she who changed Zhurong and thus changed the entire witch clan!
It then affects the order and development of the entire human world!
Younian continued: "The tragic ending of the Lich War awakened our ancestors, and they began to seek ways to restrain and resolve the curse."
"Finally, our ancestors discovered that the colder the place, the weaker the power of the curse and the less impact it had on us."
"So our ancestors led the tribesmen who survived the Lich War to relocate to this extreme west."
"They used the bitter cold of the extreme west to restrain the curse and find a solution to the curse."
"But to this day, the curse has not been resolved and is still flowing in our blood!"
"We can stay rational and calm now, but once we leave the west and go to the outside world, we will become cruel!"
"This is why we would rather live in the west than return to the east of Mount Buzhou where our ancestors lived!"
Speaking of this, Younian took a deep breath and turned the stern track: "We don't want to be controlled by the curse anymore, and we don't want to be her slaves anymore!"
So far.
Lu Yan has basically fully understood the development of this series of things.
Zhurong brought her statue back, and Gonggong fought with Zhurong, breaking the Buzhou Mountain and cutting off the connection between the world and the "God of Heaven".
But from "God", she still brought the curse to the entire witch clan.
Therefore, all the witch clans have changed their temperaments greatly, and a Lich war broke out under the influence of curses.
After the war, the witch clan woke up from the curse and used the bitter and cold curse in the extreme west to find a solution to the curse.
But for millions of years, the witch clan has not found a solution to the curse!
After understanding all this, Lu Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He really didn't expect that there were so many hidden stories in this matter!
At this time, he also understood Awang's performance.
After leaving the west, the curse in the body was no longer suppressed by the cold, and gradually changed Awang's temperament.
That's why Awang acted cruel and violently, feeding on the essence of the internal organs!
Thinking of this, he said to Younian: "I have seen Awang devour the essence of his internal organs with his own eyes, which is extremely evil."
Younian looked at Lu Yan with a faint look and said softly: "Here, there are only two thousand people in our witch clan, and as long as we witch clan live here."
Younian did not answer Lu Yan's question positively, but Lu Yan already understood what Younian wanted to express.
In the extreme west, only two thousand witch tribes survived, and there was no condition to swallow the essence of the internal organs and cultivate!
If the witch clan had such a tradition, it would have perished long ago because of killing each other!
The reason why Awang did such an evil thing must be influenced by the curse, not his original intention!
From this we can see how terrifying the impact of this curse on the witch clan is!
A Miao once told Lu Yan before that only the most powerful person in the tribe can become a high priest.
He originally thought that this "most powerful" refers to strength.
I never expected that this "most powerful" refers to acting skills!
The previous expression of thoughts.
It really made him think that the witch clan should be so cruel and longed for life in the outside world, so he would not hesitate to start a war for this.
But who would have thought that all this was performed by Younian to deceive her!
I have to say that this acting is quite realistic.
If Younian hadn't explained it later, he would have seen no problem at all.
But think about it carefully.
No matter who acts like this every day.
The acting skills will probably become extremely superb, and you will even cheat yourself!
But, the outside and the inside are different, can't she notice it?
Thinking of this, Lu Yan asked curiously: "What you think in your heart is different from your external behavior. Can't she notice it?"
When Younian heard Lu Yan’s question, she replied: “She knows everything if she says it and is in a formal way.”
Lu Yan understood.
She is limited to the external supervisors of the witch clan.
She didn't know what it was inside.
Younian continued: "She was originally truly omniscient and omnipotent."
"But because Gonggong broke through Buzhou Mountain, it cut off the connection between the world and heaven."
"There is also a curse of bitter cold in the extreme west, so her control over us is only reflected in the outside world."
When Lu Yan heard Younian's explanation, he asked, "Did you never think about living outside?"
Younian replied: "If the curse can be lifted, maybe I will lead my tribe back to my former ancestral land."
"But before this, we will never leave the West."
Lu Yan asked in confusion: "As you said, what's going on with Awang and Alie?"
Younian sighed and replied, "Because of the Holy Day."
Lu Yan thought something.
Before coming here, he had learned about the Holy Day through A Miao.
It was the only day in the year in the extreme west without sword wind.
Therefore, the witch tribe designated this day as a holy festival day.
On this day, we will sing and dance and perform grand sacrificial rituals.
You Nian continued to explain: "There is no sword wind on the Holy Day, and it is not as cold as it is usually."
"So this day was the day when she was most active and had the most surveillance of us."
"So we hold grand sacrificial rituals on this day every year, worshiping our ancestors and worshiping her."
"We want her to see that we are still her loyal servants."
"We live here and have not invaded the Central Plains because we are still recovering and recuperating."
Speaking of this, Younian couldn't help but look at another look of pain on her face.
On the Holy Day, because there is no sword wind, all the witch tribes will be happy on this day.
She looked at the smile that only appeared on everyone's faces once a year, and she smiled, but she felt extremely tormented inside.
She always has to worry about whether she will suddenly come.
Or maybe some clues are seen, which leads to bad things happening.
Every holy day was like a tribulation for her, worried.
During the ninety years she succeeded as the high priest, although the holy festival days of the past year were tormented, fortunately no crisis occurred.
But this year's Holy Day unexpectedly happened.
She hasn't appeared for a long time and has come again!
Although it was just a will, she truly felt her existence!
The feeling that it seems like it is in endless darkness, tightly enveloped by darkness, unable to see any light, unable to hear any sound, and even stops breathing and heartbeat, is really even more terrifying than real death!
Every time she thinks about it, she feels deeply frightened!
That is definitely not an existence that the power of the great witch can compete with!
Lu Yan looked at the change of expression on Younian's face and frowned and asked, "Has she arrived?"
Younian nodded and replied: "Yes, she has arrived."
"She brought us the will to leave the extreme west and go to the Central Plains!"
"I had no room for rejection, so I chose the two kindest people among my disciples, Awang and Alie."
"But even the kindest they turned into a cruel faced with the curse."
Speaking of this, Younian couldn't help but look guilty on her face.
In order to continue to gain her trust, she sacrificed Awang and Ali with her own hands!
No matter what her difficulties she has, this is an unchangeable fact!
