In ancient times, great importance was attached to war. There were sacrifices before the war, and there were sacrifices after the war. expand.

Wu Zhu acted as the officiant, and Da Zhu, Xiao Zhu, and some witches and priests acted as secondary priests. Ji Mo had the honor to watch the rehearsal, and Wu Zhu directed them to stand in their own positions.

Big and small blessings each have a fixed location and activity area. Witches and priests are relatively flexible. They each have a set of gestures and steps to match the dance, and they have their own lyrics. They did everything, but repeatedly clarified the positions of those witches and priests to prevent them from interfering with each other.

This is the first time Ji Mo saw a witch. The thin gauze dress did not show a bit of holiness, but rather enchanting. After the blow, the hem of the skirt was raised, and Ji Mo couldn't help but stare blankly.

It was also the first time I saw the gods wearing gauze clothes. Some showed handsome chest muscles, some showed thin waists and abdomen, and some were directly bare to the upper body, with the waist slightly wrapped around the bottom, and the long legs were exposed. On the outside, there is a sense of leanness.

Healthy wheat-colored skin, some are slightly darker, as they move around, you can see the luster of the slightly wet sweat on the skin, and in an instant, even people are waiting.

The standing positions in a circle are properly arranged, and they are the outer drums. They are not standing drums, but flat drums for people to step on. There is even a small drum that can be held by a witch and shakes like a bell. Fingers, elbows, shoulders, hips, feet and other parts hit the drum surface, making different sounds. The parts and strengths of the hits are different, and the feeling of the sound is also different. Some are relatively dull, some are crisp, and the same is true. There is a slight noise of passing.

These drums can be regarded as ritual instruments.

Not to mention what the big drum is made of, the small drum is made of human skin.

Originally, Ji Mo, who saw that small drum was exquisite and cute, and wanted to play with it, retracted his hand when he knew about it, and dared not touch it again. How could he think of using human skin as a drum?

On this question, he went to ask the adults.

"Man is the spirit of all things, he can feel the world."

Even in ancient times, which were still backward and ignorant, people had discovered their advanced nature. Needless to say, plants, which other animals and beasts had needs other than survival and reproduction?Only people have.

Not only do they have to eat, drink, and sleep, but they also need to reproduce, and they also have emotional needs on the basis of reproduction. All kinds of complicated emotions pull together a net, connecting many people together in different ways. It is impossible to describe this subtle feeling scientifically, but it can already be named "spirituality".

Wu Zhu is the one who holds the right to interpret this spirituality.

Human beings who are free from hair and drink blood and have their own civilization will not eat the flesh or drink the blood of their own kind for this kind of spirituality, but they can use some methods to preserve this kind of spirituality in another form, such as human leather drum.

In addition, bone rods are also the most common.

Your Excellency has a bone staff decorated with feathers and blood amber. It was made from the leg bone of the previous Wu Zhu, and the previous Wu Zhu was the father of the Lord and the grandfather of Ji Mo. In this way...

"I will teach you how to make a magic weapon in the future."

The adult's course also pays attention to step-by-step, and he didn't rush to start this more advanced course, which may even be used by himself in the future, but Ji Mo was already terrified. What do you mean, Wu Zhu didn't have a whole body when he died?

At that time, this idea was just passing by, but later I realized that it was so. After every witch Zhu died, their corpses would become the best raw materials for future generations to make magic tools. Basically, there will be no corpses left that can be buried in the ground for safety. In other words, what was buried was only the magical artifacts and clothes they had used during their lifetime, that is, the body part of Wu Zhu who took office.

Human skin, skulls, leg bones... as long as they can be preserved, they will be made into various things. Musical instruments, from human skin drums to bone flutes, are all the same material collected from the human body. Clothing Well, the human skin cloak is definitely not the only product. Scepters include not only bone staffs, but also various short staffs, which are used in different situations. The specifics will have to be learned by Ji Mo in the future.

Not only how to use these things, but also the production method, which is also the knowledge that a witch must master.

Only the magic weapon made by oneself knows how to use the spirituality left in it.

Ji Mo was in a complicated mood when he heard it, and he could only nod silently, convincing himself that these materials are used to make things after people die, instead of killing people for the sake of making them, it's still different.Perhaps an analogy to diamonds made from ashes?

Compared to living human sacrifices, this kind of thing is really childish.

It didn't take long for the preparations to start, and the sacrifice officially started. Although Ji Mo is the son of Wu Zhu, he is still a child blessed by ghosts and gods, but at his age, it is impossible to perform sacrifices on the stage, and he can only watch from the sidelines, even for some teams He can't watch on the bright side, but needs to hide behind the scenes.

The venue for the sacrificial offering is a high platform made of earth, two stories high, with a semi-pit in the middle, where firewood is piled up to light it, and around it are the positions of the chief priest and the assistant priests. They all dance, accompanied by the sound of drums and murmuring Accompanied by the sound of sacrificial rites, the bells or other accessories worn on their bodies will also make ding-ding-dong-dong sound accompaniment.

The acolyte danced around his own station, which was also a circle, but a small circle. If the trajectory of their dancing was drawn with lines, it would be many small circles outside the big circle, not completely connected, and there would be circles in the middle. A passage for witches and priests to shuttle back and forth.

Needless to say, witches, compared to wizards, they play the "soft" part, which is also an indispensable part of reproduction.

The gods are not the servants of the gods, and they do not mean the servants of the gods. They are not gods, but they should be understood as divine revelations, or divine visions, acting as the eyes and ears of the gods, conveying the signs of the gods, and in the name of gods, in this sacrificial dance Among them, the part that is the "force" is also the other side of reproduction.

The sacrificial dance deduces a story, the story of mortals attracting the favor of ghosts and gods, the entanglement and separation of witches and priests, every time it is seduce and anti-seduce, ambiguous and anti-ambiguous, it makes people blush and heartbeat, and the veil originally covered It's nothing, but with the ups and downs of the movements, when the legs are lifted up, there is a certain hot and sexy meaning besides being exposed.

Like a lingering pas de deux, the two dancers come and go, seeming to be affectionate, but actually full of scheming, constantly shuttling between the acolytes, dancing on their own.

When the drumbeat finally paused, they fell to the ground one by one, in different ways, each pair seemed to be demonstrating a posture, full of primitive temptation.

At this time, the only passage is the front position of the high platform, which is also the position opposite to the chief priest. The slaves lined up were driven up, and one by one numbly and actively threw themselves into the burning fire pit in the middle. main theme.

Below the high platform, there was a row of slaves standing. With the shout of the king, the army standing neatly in front of the high platform cheered thunderously, and someone cut the necks of the standing slaves. It was cut off, blood spurted out, dyed the part of the battle flag red, the wind blew, the battle flag fluttered, and a few drops of the dripping blood were blown away, and the faces of the soldiers who stood close had blood spots , but he was extremely excited, his eyes were red with excitement, he waved his spear and shouted "Wan Sheng" and "Wan Sheng", and everyone was shocked.

Ji Mo is located in the room on the side of the high platform. It is the temporary residence of the chief priest and assistant priests before each sacrifice. The layout is extremely simple. There is nothing other than a bed, not even a window. The door that is simply concealed is not so strong, and there is still a gap to look out. Ji Mo is watching from behind the scenes.

The side view wasn't very good. He didn't see all of the slaves' throats cut, but only saw part of them, which was shocking enough.

This kind of primitive cruelty made him realize once again the antiquity and ignorance of this era. What he wanted to do, such as improving his diet, he decided to put it on hold for now.

These days, he has also discovered that those acolytes eat and drink the same things, and they don’t even have honey water every day, which means that the life of adults is good enough, so good that some changes are not normal the point.

There is also the rule of not eating fireworks, and many things must not be eaten. All foods that need to be steamed, cooked, and fried are within the scope of this "fireworks".

Ji Mo has never been a chef, and he never thought of anything that could perfectly avoid the conventional cooking methods and make it nutritious and delicious. This is really difficult.

As for the ingredients, if you don’t consider using the above cooking methods, eat more grass stems and roots, it’s all up to you, and no one interferes.

Before Ji Mo was ill, it was already against the law to ask Xia Niang to cook soup and medicine for him, but the adults just turned a blind eye and pretended not to know.

This is also the problem that Ji Mo discovered after meeting many acolytes this time and observing their diets. He pretended not to know that if this kind of acquiescence violated the rules, adults would have to prohibit them, and it would be even more difficult for him in the future. .Therefore, he can't ask the adults to change his diet because of this, and he can't even explain the reason. You said ginger is good, and you should drink ginger water when you catch a cold. Why?Is it because it is sweet?

Thinking that he might be asked about the root cause, Ji Mo felt that he could still persevere, wasn't it because he almost ate too much?In the past, every day mutton smelled like mutton, did he say anything?

He didn't come here for the delicious food. He spent too much time and energy on this kind of thing, and he would inevitably lose his heart and lose his heart.
