Ye Xiaochuan had a bad sleep last night and kept sneezing. Zuo Qiu and others felt strange. With Ye Xiaochuan's cultivation, how could he catch a cold even if he was so cold?
Of course he didn't have a cold. He kept sneezing yesterday and had a cold wind on his back. He always felt like someone was speaking ill of him behind his back.
After thinking about it all night, I still couldn't figure out who had such a deep hatred against me and actually slandered and slandered me behind my back for the whole night.
Today is a very important festival in Miao territory, called Jiyou Festival.
The time of the Youji Festival is not fixed. Unlike the Spring Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival, which are on a certain day of the month, the Youji Festival in southern Xinjiang is the second cattle grazing day in October every year, which is the Chou Day.
Hearing the name of this festival, Ye Xiaochuan knew that it was in memory of Chi You, the demon god of the Jiuli tribe, the predecessor of the five tribes in southern Xinjiang.
After asking Gesang about it, it turned out to be true.
According to Kelsang, the You Festival is also called the Nongyou Festival, and it commemorates an ancestor named Gaoyou a long time ago. This man was born strange and brave, and once led nine tribal leaders to fight Xuanyuan in the Central Plains.
After Gaoyou was trapped and killed, the nine tribal leaders led the tribe to migrate southwest along the river. They arrived in southern Xinjiang.
After generations of reproduction, the five ethnic groups are all descendants of "Gouyou".
The Nongyou Festival is to pay homage to the ancestor who died in "Guiyou".
The so-called "address to you" refers to Chi You.
Whether it is the Central Plains, southern Xinjiang, or the grassland tribes in the Western Regions, worshiping ancestors is always a top priority, and it will not be missed even in times of war.
Various camps and guerrilla groups in southern Xinjiang are currently holding various sacrificial activities today.
The Wanyuan Mountain camp is very large, so the sacrificial activities here are also more grand. Ye Xiaochuan thought that Gesang, the great wizard of the Miao ethnic group, would host this sacrificial activity, but it turned out that there was no such thing as Gesang, and each of the five ethnic groups sent their own
We met a representative of wizards. They were all octogenarians with few teeth left. These
Wearing a brand new white robe, the old man sang the ancient Miao language loudly at the altar on the mountainside of Wanyuan Mountain, conveying his blessings to Chi You's ancestors who had been dead for tens of thousands of years.
From the mountainside to the foot of the mountain, people of the five ethnic groups can be seen singing and dancing everywhere, and they are all in costumes. There are not many men among these people, almost all of them are women.
These Miao women were wearing brightly colored long skirts and weighing several kilograms of silver ornaments. Some of the more outstanding-looking Miao girls were dancing and singing hand in hand, allowing Chi You's ancestors to see how wonderful his descendants were in life.
of beauty.
The few men in the camp were actually shirtless in the cold weather, carrying three animals tied with red cloth, and put them down near the altar on the mountainside. Since he is a demon, he must look like a demon. When the three animals were sacrificed,
, I saw four Miao men carrying a flower stand made of flowers and vines. On the flower stand, a very outstanding-looking Miao girl sat quietly.
The girl also wore a beautiful wreath on her head. She didn't know where she found so many flowers in this snowy day.
This flower-crown girl is really pretty. Ye Xiaochuan feels that in terms of appearance, she is definitely not inferior to the fairies around her, but she is a bit younger and looks like she is only fifteen or sixteen years old.
Ye Xiaochuan thinks this kind of celebration is good. There are delicious food, dances and folk songs, and beautiful women to watch. If you don't think about those troublesome things, this is paradise on earth.
Ye Xiaochuan likes this sacrifice, but it does not mean that other cultivators from Middle-earth like him also like it.
The people of Central China have been instilled with the idea that Chi You is a bad guy, and Xuanyuan who defeated Chi You is a good guy.
Therefore, in China, Chi You is called the Demon God.
When these Chinese people figured out the origin of this sacrifice and the object to be sacrificed, they labeled the sacrifice in front of them as evil.
Not only the cultivators in Middle-earth, but also the cultivators of the Demon Sect have this idea. They worship the Nether Mother and the Demon God of Kaitian, not Chi You. Ye Xiaochuan said to several Baili Yuan and others who were whispering around him.
Humanity: "I asked you, can you respect other people's history and culture? Every ethnic group has its own beliefs. Even if the five ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang worship Chi You, it doesn't matter. After all, Chi You
Especially their ancestors, you must not forget your roots. You say this is an evil sacrificial activity, but you must not let Kelsang hear it. Hey, where is Kelsang, why isn't he here?"
Qin Fanzhen said: "I haven't seen her for a long time. I don't know what she is busy with."
Ye Xiaochuan felt strange in his heart, how could Gesang, as the great wizard of the Miao people, be absent from such an important sacrificial event?
However, this guy's lustful character soon focused his attention on the beautiful girl with a flower crown on the altar, and said to himself: "She looks really good."
However, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was not right, because the beautiful girl with a flower crown was actually carried on a pile of dry wood, and there were several Miao men holding torches and dancing in circles around the wooden frame.
Great God.
The flower-crown girl sitting on the wooden frame looked very pale, clenched her teeth, and her body was trembling slightly, as if she was very scared.
Baili Yuan said: "That's not right. Why do I think this girl is going to be burned to death?"
Ye Xiaochuan said: "How is it possible? Human sacrifice can only be done by barbarians who drink hair and drink blood. We are all civilized people. How could we do such a heartless and crazy thing... Oh... it really lit a fire!"
Ye Xiaochuan was about to say a few words of defense for the five tribes in southern Xinjiang. At that moment, the men around the wooden frame stopped dancing and threw all their torches on the wooden frame.
A layer of thatch was spread under the wooden shelf to support combustion, and the flames suddenly burst into flames.
The surrounding people in southern Xinjiang shouted "Hula! Hula!" in a language that Ye Xiaochuan could not understand.
Ye Xiaochuan yelled: "It's not a hoora! It's a fuzzy! These people are really sacrificing human beings!"
Just as he was about to rescue him, Gesang, who had been missing all morning, suddenly appeared and said with a sad face: "This is a sacrificial ceremony in southern Xinjiang. Don't interfere with it."
Ye Xiaochuan said angrily: "Are you crazy to sacrifice human beings?"
Gesang said: "I tried to stop it, but I didn't succeed. This is the highest-level sacrificial ceremony in southern Xinjiang. Now that the catastrophe is coming, the five ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang feel that only by offering the most beautiful virgins to the ancestors of Chiyou will the ancestors bless us and achieve success."
Victory." Ye Xiaochuan said: "Bullshit! Instead of killing so many enemies in heaven, they want to burn a young girl here to please Chi You who has been dead for tens of thousands of years. Are all the tens of thousands of warriors in southern Xinjiang cowards and cowards?
, can’t you even lift a machete?
?" The fire on the wooden frame was getting bigger and bigger, and the cultivators of the righteous and demonic cults were all ready to take action. They would never tolerate human sacrifice happening in front of them.
