"The tree knife drinking blood happened before you sang the incantation to invite the gods. At that time, the great god Chi You in your mouth didn't know that you were going to sacrifice to him and didn't come." Zhang Fan said, "If he doesn't come, he won't come.
They would add divine power to their tree knives, and the tree knives at that time were just ordinary tree knives."
As soon as Zhang Fan said these words, everyone's expressions froze slightly.
"Yes, when the tree knife drank blood, the great god Chi You didn't know that you were going to sacrifice him. He hadn't arrived at the scene yet, so it was impossible for him to display his divine power on the tree knife." Xiao Chong continued, "The tree knife drank blood.
, has nothing to do with your so-called divine power, it’s the tree knife itself.”
Wu Jun glanced at Zhang Fan and Xiao Chong, scratched his head subconsciously, looked at Zhang Fan and the others and said, "That seems to be the truth, but tree knives are really just ordinary knives! I collected these knives myself.
Bought from the market."
What had been engraved in Wu Jun's mind for many years was suddenly disrupted.
"Is this tree knife usually placed at this sacrificial site?" Zhang Fan asked.
"No, the tree knife is usually kept in the warehouse and is only taken out during sacrifices. If it is left outside for a long time and is exposed to wind and sun every day, the trunk will easily rot and the knife will rust easily." Wu Jun replied.
"That means, you were testing in the warehouse whether the tree knife can drink your blood?" Zhang Fan asked.
"Yes, the experiment was done in the warehouse." Wu Jun replied, "Twenty years ago, when I just became the clan leader, after completing the first sacrifice, I became curious like you, so I tried it in the warehouse.
."
"Then when you offer sacrifices every year, has the location where the tree knife is buried changed?" Zhang Fan continued to ask.
"No, it has always been this position." Wu Jun replied, "In the process of the inheritance of the clan chief, before each clan leader leaves, he will repeatedly tell the new clan leader and the people in the clan that the position where the tree knife is buried cannot be changed."
Having said this, Wu Jun's voice paused, and then he turned his attention to the place where the tree knife was buried.
"Officer Zhang, you mean that there is something else going on where the tree knife is buried, which makes the tree knife have the ability to drink blood?" Wu Jun looked at Zhang Fan and said.
Zhang Fan nodded, "However, this is just my guess."
"Although it is a guess, this guess is reasonable and well-founded. It is probably the case." Wu Jun said thoughtfully, "Why haven't I thought about this in these years?"
After saying this, Wu Jun walked in the direction of the tree knife, but halfway there, he stopped and said, "Forget it about the sacrifice today. After the sacrifice is completed, I must find out."
"Although this tree knife looks magical, it doesn't seem to be of much use. It's a bit of a gimmick. After all, an ordinary knife can be used to slaughter cattle and cut meat." Xiao Chong took a look at the tree knife.
"No, Officer Xiao." Wu Jun retorted.
Xiao Chong raised his eyebrows slightly, waiting for Wu Jun's explanation.
"You can use any knife to slaughter the cow, but you can only use the knife on the tree knife to cut the meat." Wu Jun explained.
"What's the difference between slaughtering a cow and cutting meat? The meat is from the slaughtered cow. Cows can be slaughtered with ordinary knives, so why can't meat be slaughtered with ordinary knives?" Xiao Chong became more and more confused.
.
"When the big man in our village slaughtered the cow, the cow was just an ordinary cow, so he could use any knife." Wu Jun explained, and then he pointed to the people cutting the meat aside, "Now the meat is
After being baptized by the thunder and separated by the thunder, the structure of the sacred beef with its blood locked has undergone tremendous changes and has become as solid as a rock. Only a tree knife can cut it.
, this meat can be enjoyed by people like ordinary beef."
Hearing Wu Jun's words, Xiao Chong looked at the beef again, with a flash of doubt in his eyes.
Because the meat under the knife is too soft, and it will be split into two if you cut it lightly. This is not like rock-hard meat. In addition, even if the tree knife is sharper than an ordinary knife, how sharp can it be?
?
Wu Jun saw Xiao Chong's doubts, and Wu Jun casually pulled out a short knife from his tribesman's waist. The blade looked very sharp, but this short knife was not picked from a tree knife.
"If you don't believe it, you can try it." Wu Jun handed the short knife to Xiao Chong.
"Okay, I'll try it." Xiao Chong just didn't believe it and wanted to verify it himself.
Xiao Chong took the short knife and strode towards the direction closest to him. It was a piece of beef tendon meat. Under the tree knife, the piece of meat was very soft.
Seeing Xiao Chong step forward, the Miao man who was cutting the meat took the initiative to step aside. Xiao Chong leaned down and cut directly towards the piece of beef with the short knife in his hand.
"Keng..."
Just listen to the sound of gold and iron clashing from the point where the knife edge comes into contact with the beef. The beef that looked soft just now has now become extremely hard.
Feeling this situation, a look of surprise appeared on Xiao Chong's face, "This..."
Xiao Chong was unwilling to give up. He mobilized the true energy in his body, condensed it on the arm holding the knife, and slashed hard at the piece of beef.
"Keng..."
Where the short blade came into contact with the beef, there was another explosion. Due to the great force, the short blade in Xiao Chong's hand had already curled up.
Xiao Chong glanced at the short blade in his hand and retracted his questioning gaze. This was too amazing.
"You go ahead." Xiao Chong looked at the Miao man who had just been cut by him and said.
The Miao people nodded, picked up the knife from the tree, and slowly and leisurely cut the piece of beef. The beef became soft like normal beef.
I saw the Miao man slowly raising his head, looking at Xiao Chong and grinning.
Xiao Chong laughed dryly and smacked his lips helplessly. Then, Xiao Chong returned to Zhang Fan and the others. He gave Wu Jun a thumbs up, "Awesome."
Zhang Fan was also quite curious about the comparison. This real sacrifice was really not as simple as what was written in the book.
"Officer Zhang, have you figured out who the child's biological father is?" Wu Jun leaned into Zhang Fan's ear and asked in a low voice.
"I can tell." Zhang Fan replied. While watching the sacrifice, Zhang Fan observed the faces of almost everyone.
"Who?" Wu Jun followed closely.
"The man who slaughters the cow." Zhang Fan replied.
Hearing Zhang Fan's words, Wu Jun's eyes flashed with surprise, "You mean, that majestic man?"
"Yes!" Zhang Fan nodded heavily.
"How...how could it be him?" Wu Jun muttered to himself in disbelief.
