Everything is hazy, the night is deep, and the Milky Way evolves.
After sunset, twilight arrives, and it is already night.
Saying goodbye to the ancient god who has protected the Akakata clan for a long time, the Akakata clan will usher in a new totem.
Behind Lao Zi is a painted painting.
Except for the lamb who was screaming on the high platform, all other people participating in the sacrifice did not cheer at all before the sacrifice began, but their emotions were excited and were forcibly suppressed.
Yuyu grabbed a handful of grass and stuffed it into Lamb's mouth, and Lamb started eating with tears in his eyes.
"What!"
Is the meal coming soon?
Lamb felt that he was going to die, and he was filled with regrets. If he had known that he should have run away when we moved, he could not live without the comfort of being a sheep. Now that the totem has been changed, he would be roasted.
I'm not a real person, but you are real dogs!
The lamb was crying and eating the "last supper". When its voice stopped, the old patriarch could finally stand in the empty place where the totem pole should be placed and speak to everyone.
"Our people...after today's night, tomorrow, we will usher in a new life."
The old clan leader looked at everyone: "Including all of you, new clan members who don't have the same totem."
"Times have changed."
That's what was said to the people who migrated here.
Izuku looked at the tall flame platform. The trees were crackling and burning. The two sides of the high platform were covered with braziers. The preparations for the sacrifice were complete, and busy people began to gather here from all around.
Jiuli's Beizheng also looked at the scene in front of him without making any comments and remained silent.
Yes, years have changed.
Everything that has happened in the past has become part of the years without even realizing it.
It is recorded in bamboo slips, in memory, in the dust, on murals, in dances, and may be sung in songs.
The history of ancient ancestors is simple and simple, but it is also easy to be lost.
Chi Songzi, Wu Pan, and Master Ji, who had not returned yet, all stood over, right next to the totem pole of Youhou God.
Huang Liyin and other warriors from three mountains and four fields, that is, the group of warriors who joined at the beginning, are also here. They originally wanted to go back, but they heard that the fire of the Chifang clan was resurrected, so they stayed temporarily.
Let’s see this last grand sacrifice.
However, Danzhu and Uncle Xi are not here. Danzhu has just returned, and Uncle Xi seems to have broken his promise. He has not returned from the Central Plains.
But now it seems that the internal struggle in the Central Plains is fierce.
When Dayi came from his ancestral land, he could already see the blazing fire.
"I want to reprimand the people of Chifang first."
The old patriarch said: "The ancient gods have protected us for a long time. In the war with the Long Di clan, too many people died. The last, the powerful warriors who escorted us away, were your father.
Brothers, compatriots, and relatives were submerged by the water when they were crossing the river, and were finally buried under the waves."
"The water in the river and where the disaster started has now been determined."
"A monkey... he left Wushan and wandered along the river to Tongbai Mountain near Dahuai. When we came here, the river suddenly rose. That's what it did..."
"We are unable to take revenge, and the other party doesn't know and doesn't care about us."
"This is the mountains and the sea, this is us. At any time, a more terrible disaster may befall us."
"But we still live here and pray to the stars and ancestors."
At this time, the old patriarch had already entered a state of reciting sacrificial words.
I put it down below, ready to go up.
The witch's sheep-head jade was worn on his waist, and he wore a silver bracelet on his hand. It was a gift from Chaisang Mountain, and the sacrificial clothes were given by the girls.
"Witch, we knew this day would come, so we sewed new sacrificial clothes."
With her belly bulging out, the other girls beside her presented two new sets of clothing to Ruzai. They were sewn with deerskin and silk respectively. The deerskin set was used as a sacrifice to the ancient ancestors.
Clothes must be changed after the sacrifice is completed.
The antlers were made into decorations, and the wild boar's tusks and bear fur were also patched on the outside. In short, this sacrificial costume looked a bit wild.
Unlike the Xunshan clan and the Gaoshi clan who used blue bird feathers to decorate their robes, they looked like gods. After Yuzai put on this new sacrificial attire, she thought, what if she wore this robe?
As a god, it really looks like the evil god from the Lingnan region.
He must be a god known for his bravery.
The new silk clothes imitated the clothes of the Central Plains. It seems that the style is somewhat similar to the wide-sleeved clothes of the Qin and Han Dynasties. Only people in the Central Plains, especially the Tao and Tang Dynasties, wore this kind of clothes.
However, compared to the clothes in Taotang Land, they are a bit simpler.
"We asked Ahong. We were weaving silkworm clothes for sacrifices at that time, and Ahong came over and told us about the sacrificial clothes of Taotang."
Danzhu not only couldn't control his hands, but also couldn't control his mouth...
"He said that people in the land of Taotang wore clothes of this style to worship their ancestors and the heaven and earth. At night when it was dark, the sky was black, and the tops were like the sky, so they used black, while the earth was yellow, and the bottoms were yellow.
If the clothes are like the ground, use yellow."
In this era, people usually used natural minerals or plants to dye clothes. For example, in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there are many stones that can dye clothes into cyan, red, and black. The earliest origin of dyeing is actually
Very ancient.
In the Upper Paleolithic Age, some tribes already knew how to dye clothes, using hematite powder.
Yu Zai took over this simple sacrificial robe, but although it was simple, it was a piece of clothing that bore witness to the new era and had great significance.
Yu Zai is preparing here, and the old patriarch is still narrating the words of sacrifice.
"Every time in Harada, abandoning the old and replacing it with the new is a strategy! We have gone too far, too far, we have gone too long, and today, the broken totem will be reborn, and the ancient god with a sheep's head and body will appear in the sky.
Bless us!”
"The new totem is the blazing, eternal and magnificent sun!"
"When a beam of light goes out, night falls, but the night will eventually pass!"
"So we lit our fire and looked for a place where we could settle down in this dark night. So, we did not let down the years, and the years did not let us down!"
"Tonight, when dawn is about to come, the light that cuts through the night will rise from the distant east!"
In the mountains and seas, there are many gods with sheep heads and human bodies. They are widely found in the Dongshan Sutra system. Gods with the human body of sheep horns are recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing": The first of the three Eastern Sutras, from the mountain of Shihu to the mountain of Wugao,
The nine mountains are six thousand and nine hundred miles away. Their gods are all human with goat's horns. To sacrifice to them, a goat needs to be sacrificed.
The god of the Akagata clan is a god with the body of a goat and horns. However, in appearance, the whole head is more like a sheep than a human. It is like a god with a dragon body and a human face. Some of them look like a human as a whole, and some look like a human.
dragon.....
Therefore, Lamb was tied to the stage for a purpose.
Behind Lamb, there is a simple painting of a sheep-headed god, "watching" every member of the Akagata clan.
At this time, Yuzai put on the animal skin robe and offered three sacrifices, first to the departed old god! Then, he shouted loudly!
"The god who once protected us, Xian!"
Ruanzai held an ax and cut open the flesh and blood of the three animals. The old patriarch led the people to pray to the gods and bid farewell to the position of the lamb. Everyone also made a praying posture, kneeling on one knee solemnly, and a
The hands were clenched into fists and pressed against the ground, while the head was lowered deeply!
Say goodbye to the gods!
Xian! This is the name of the former sheep-headed god of the Akafang family. In ancient times, the main meaning of the word Xian was "abundance", which means abundance and wealth. The god lives up to his name, and he is in charge of the land at the foot of Gao family's mountain.
Ye, the name of this wilderness, refers to the five-month-old little fat sheep.
