There is always a man who wants to marry him

The open space in the center of the Valley of Kings is no longer empty.A huge but unlit bonfire was set up on the grass in the center. About a few dozen steps away from the bonfire, nearly a hundred round cushions made of vines were placed.These cushions are centered on the bonfire, and are distributed from the inside to the outside. Each cushion is covered with a piece of animal skin, obviously for people to sit on.The mats are sparse or dense, and the types of animal skins covered on them are also different. The number of each type of animal skins is more or less. There are as many as ten sheets, and as few as two or three. The mats covered with the same kind of hide were noticeably closer together.

When Tie Mian and Fei Qi came here, there were already people sitting on some cushions.Comparing the clothes of these people, it can be seen that the cushions covered with the same type of animal skins are reserved for the same clan. The large clans occupy the most places, while the small clans occupy the few places.

Tie Mian led Fei Qi through the rows of mats, and walked directly to the front of the field, next to a mat covered with golden animal skins.

Di Chen was already sitting there and brought Ou Ge over.It's just that Ou Ge didn't get a seat, and bowed his head like a bullied puppy, kneeling beside Di Chen, still wearing the set of golden chains around his neck and wrists.

Seeing Tie Mian and Fei Qi approaching, Di Chen didn't get up, and nodded slightly towards Tie Mian with a smile.

Tie Mian glanced at him, ignored him, and sat down on a cushion to the left, letting Fei Qi sit on another cushion to his right.

"Is it better for the two of us to change places?" Fei Qi asked with his thoughts.

"Shouldn't you be sitting on my right?" Tie Mian asked back.

Fei Qi twitched the corners of her mouth, said no more, and instead looked at the clans that were present.

Like Di Chen and Tie Mian, those sitting in the front row are obviously the five major clans. It seems that three of them have already come, and Xuedia, whom Fei Qi has seen before, is also among them. Inhabited in Galle in the northwest plateau and Silesia in the southwestern hills.

Today, everyone is dressed up, even the men wear fancy clothes and glitter and glitter.In fact, since the Haimila clan has not yet arrived, the people sitting here are basically men, and the number of women is very small, and most of them are sitting on the right side of a certain man, apparently using the power of their own men to come here Watch the fun.

Fei Qi soon saw a clan with the same gray hair as Ou Ge, a total of five people, sitting in the middle without moving forward or backward.The leading middle-aged man was resting his eyes with his eyes closed, and the other four were staring at Tie Mian and Di Chen, with expressions of resentment or anger, and one with a sarcasm.

"Are those gray-haired ones from the Sandra clan?" Fei Qi asked with his thoughts.

Tie Mian raised his head, followed Fei Qi's gaze, and quickly replied: "Well, the one sitting in the middle is Ou Ge's uncle Wan Hong, and Ou Ge will become the current virtue, he is also out of character. Strong."

"It's not all your credit?" Fei Qi was quite surprised.

"With me alone as an outsider, how could the matter calm down so quickly? Of course, Sandra's own people must be helping the flames." Tie Mian replied sarcastically, "Unfortunately, although Wan Hong broke down with my hands His nephew, Shandela's power also fell apart because of this, and the small clans that once attached to Shandela broke away from their control. Now Wan Hong can no longer call himself a chief, but can only be a patriarch. "

While the two were chatting, Haimila finally arrived.

Because priests have their own positions and missions, Hailang did not appear with the clan. The leader was Jishuang, who came with five members like the Sandra clan.

Haimila's position was arranged obliquely behind Tie Mian and Fei Qi, which was considered a relatively front position.With Haimila's strength, it's actually a bit far-fetched to sit here, but considering that Di Chen already knows the identity of Tie Mian, and he and Tie Mian already have such a relationship, Fei Qi can understand why Di Chen made such an arrangement. .

Before the tribal festival started, Di Chen had invited Tie Mian and Alongba over to discuss matters related to the tribal festival.But Tie Mian and Alongba both made the same statement, handing over these matters to Di Chen, only willing to send their own subordinates to help maintain order during the tribal festival.

Tie Mian once again rejected Di Chen's request that he take charge of the guard team, and at the same time refused to send people to participate in the guard work inside the Valley of the Kings on the grounds that all his subordinates were too rude, and only accepted the patrol mission around the valley.

Di Chen, who already knew Tie Mian's identity, of course couldn't force Tie Mian to do what he wanted, and could only work hard alone.Fortunately, the Valley of the Kings had already held a tribal sacrifice, and this time they were familiar with the process and followed the steps.

When Jishuang found out that Hai Mira's position was so pre-examination, she was obviously stunned for a moment, but immediately returned to normal, and sat down calmly with the entourage.

It's not easy to make a sound on such an occasion, so Fei Qi could only turn his head and bow slightly to her as a greeting.

Jishuang returned a smile, indicating that Fei Qi needn't be so restrained.

Immediately afterwards, the other two of the five major clans - Lei Nuo and Utala also arrived at the center of the valley and took their seats.

When the sun rose above the head, all the clans had arrived, and the horns sounded like mourning.

Amidst the low and long sound of the horn, the people who had been sitting on the cushions stood up one after another, and Fei Qi hurriedly stood up along with the iron face, and followed the eyes of the people around him to look towards the east of the valley.

Over there, a group of priests who were also dressed in costumes and held various sacrificial utensils were already heading towards the bonfire.They were not lined up in a clear line like an army, and their clothes were as colorful as the flowers in the Valley of Kings.But even so, everyone can clearly see their status and differences based on their location.

The five priests walking in the forefront naturally belonged to the five major clans. Hailang was in the second echelon of the team just like Haimila, and there was a third echelon with more people behind her.However, the front and back positions in the same echelon are not arranged according to the strength of the priest's clan, but according to the age of the priests. Therefore, Hai Lang, who is the youngest in the second echelon, became the leader of their group of priests. Tail.

However, Hai Lang is not the youngest among the priests, there are several younger ones in the third echelon, and the one at the end is not yet an adult at all, with a disturbed face and stiff steps, he almost wrote "" on his face. I'm nervous" in four characters.

The distance from the starting point to the bonfire was not far, but the slow-paced priests still walked for a while before reaching their destination.

Just like the outer seats, five high priests from the five major clans stood closest to the bonfire, arranged in a pentagram shape.The priests of the second echelon, including Hai Lang, stood not far behind them, surrounding them.The rest of the priests stood scattered on the periphery, vaguely, as if forming a larger pentagram.

After the station is completed, the sound of the horn disappears and is replaced by drums that are more rhythmic.

Fei Qi looked around curiously, and finally saw the drummer playing drums and other musicians who hadn't started playing at the outermost edge of the crowd.

——Are these musicians brought by the priests, or provided by the Valley of Kings?

Fei Qi guessed boredly.

At this time, the drumbeat gradually weakened and slowed down, and the eldest of the five high priests opened his lips lightly and began to chant a rune hymn.

This hymn doesn't have a very clear meaning, it just hides a spell of Crimson Flame in it.The priest's mental strength was already higher than that of ordinary people, and the bonfire had been tampered with beforehand, making it very flammable. Therefore, when the priest recited the spell, the bonfire in the middle immediately burst into flames. Sparks popped out of the ground, and turned into flames in a blink of an eye.

As soon as sparks appeared, the other four high priests immediately repeated this hymn, causing more and more flames on the bonfire, and finally gathered together, completely igniting the entire bonfire.

After the bonfire started to burn, the other priests followed suit and continued to recite the entire hymn, but the content behind the hymn had completely returned to the body of the poem, and there were no special spells.

The ceremony didn't end there, the female priests headed by Hai Lang sang a new hymn, and the other male priests accompanied them with low voices from their throats. The drums gradually fell silent, and the horn sounded again.

After the third hymn was sung mainly by male priests, the oldest of the five high priests finally announced loudly, "The ancestors have awakened, and the gods are listening! Now, we will begin the sacrifice—"

Following his words, all the priests stretched out their arms, holding up high the various sacrificial vessels they had been holding in their hands.The drumbeat appeared again, and other instruments were also played one by one.

After the complete piece of music was played, the priests started to walk in place, letting the bells on their ankles rattle along with the drum beats, and then moved their steps, waved their arms, and danced a special dance for priests.

Most of the priests are not young, and most of them are men with ordinary appearance and poor figure. Naturally, their dances are not interesting in terms of viewing, but they are just stepping on the beat and swinging their limbs.

Fei Qi couldn't help but start to lose his mind, and turned his attention to the costumes worn by the priests.The clothes of the five high priests were obviously new, but the clothes of the other priests were not as decent.The clothes on some people look like they have been passed down for several generations, not to mention that they don’t fit well, and there are traces of sewing and patching, but they are decorated with beads, bones and other things. It’s hard to notice if you don’t look carefully. .

The clothes are new and old, but the accessories worn by the priests are all old things older than themselves.Although the clothes of several priests were shabby, the ornaments they wore were more valuable and valuable than the priests of the five major clans. It is very likely that the clans they belonged to were also the five major clans, and it was only after they declined that they became what they are today.

After the dance ended, the priests stood back to their original positions, raised their hands, and began to pray to heaven.

The ordinary clan members standing outside also murmured one by one, just saying everything, it sounded like they were praying for themselves or their clan.

Fei Qi was not sure whether he should follow suit, so he used his mind to seek advice from Tie Mian.

"Don't waste that effort." Tie Mian responded indifferently, "The gods here won't hear our prayers, and won't bless us."
