Chapter 0970 offering sacrifices to Yulong Mountain
The affairs of Qianlong City have been almost done. The day after Zhong Meili got married, it was the time limit for some families in Qianlong City to go to sacrifice to the temple in Yulong Mountain.
The families in Qianlong City have to go to the temple to sacrifice every month. Of course, they are not going together, but separate. How many families go to each other every month? Anyway, each family has to sacrifice three times a year.
This time, the Duan family happened to be among the families who went to sacrifice.
So Wang Gongnan took Wang Guest, Wang Yu, Lu Niu and a middle-aged woman with a fiery red head to join the Duan family.
This middle-aged woman is transformed by Huo Feng Laohong!
Lao Hong successfully used the "Phoenix Nirvana" technique this time and was reborn in the fire. He actually broke through one after another. Now he was at the ninth level. After reaching the ninth level, he finally remembered the inheritance memory of the high-level beast manifesting into humans, so he became a human.
In fact, in ancient times, when animals reached the seventh level of cultivation, they could basically manifest themselves into human form. However, because the spiritual energy in the world became thinner and weaker, the weaker humans actually controlled the dominance of the world. Some strong people set up some rules to restrict the evolution of animals, so animals generally lost the inheritance memory of becoming stronger.
Brother Feng received the Creation Shower from the Rebirth of Old Hong Fierce Fire this time. He is now at the eighth level, but he still cannot manifest himself as a human. Now he stays in the red and purple world in the south of the royal palace, guarding Xiaohong who is making breakthroughs.
Lin Genmu did not come with Wang Gongnan. Although he was very skilled in hidden weapons, he did not have the ability to resist corpse poison, so Wang Gongnan asked him to stay in the city lord's mansion to help.
Zhuo Yan did not go, and there were still some things to deal with as he wanted. When he returned to Wanwan City, he would also find a way to seize the position of the city lord, so this is his best internship opportunity now. Moreover, Wang Gongnan felt that it was not suitable to take him to fight zombies, and he could not deal with corpse poison.
Zhuo Mei and Qing Ruoshui are still in the Red Purple Clothing World. The two are working hard to train how to join forces to deal with zombies, one is close attack and the other is far attack.
Although Zhuo Mei does not have the ability to resist corpse poison, her magic weapon is special. At that time, her magic weapon will be very useful.
Wang Guyue also stayed in the red and purple world, accompanying Wang Xiaocao, who only had his head turned into a human form. Wang Gongnan had not yet decided whether she would join the war, because if she went to fight, she would definitely fight with zombies with green eyes and above level at that time. Wang Gongnan still didn't know whether she could resist the corpse poison.
When it was not necessary, Wang Gongnan would not let Zhuo Quan participate in the battle against zombies, so he simply put the thimble in the red and purple world, let him stay with Meng Yajing and take care of the plants that had just grown, so that he could be summoned at any time.
Wang Gongnan saw that the things that the families dragged to sacrifice were all fresh fish.
He also learned that when offering sacrifices, the heads of each family must be present, and they all have to take the head of the family order. Every time after offering sacrifices, they must take the head of the family order and put it on the altar, and then retreat outside the temple and wait for the next day to pick it up.
When the head of the family will take back the order, the heads of the family will immediately search for the head of the family. They will find a message, but no one can understand the content. However, this will further reveal the mystery of sacrifice, so that no family dares to sacrifice on time.
"Master Duan Family, are there any regulations on how much you offer to offer?" Wang Gongnan asked Duan Zhu.
Duan Zhu is now the head of the Duan family, so of course he wants to go there.
"Oh, Brother Lu, there is no regulation for this." Duan Zhu responded to Wang Gongnan. Now, Wang Gongnan uses his former pseudonym, Lu Quan.
"Oh? There are no regulations, but why should each family prepare so well? Isn't it just a moment to offer sacrifices?" Wang Gongnan asked in confusion.
"Brother Lu, you know, people, this competitive mentality is very strong. Every time dozens of families go to sacrifice together. If any family takes out a little something, then it will not be a joke for people from other families? Therefore, each family basically finds ways to change the patterns or increase the weight every time they sacrifice.
In fact, those big families took advantage of the opportunity in this episode. He only added a little bit to put a lot of pressure on other families. There are many small families who usually have to save money in order to sacrifice their sacrifices, and their lives are hard and hard." Duan Zhu sighed.
"This atmosphere is about to change. Now that the City Lord's Mansion has been created, the City Lord's Mansion will come with a unified rule. The sacrifice is the wish, and it must not be so exhausted and the people will be damaged." Wang Gongnan said.
Of course, he could not tell Duan Zhu that this was a zombie making a monster, and that he could not force the sacrifice to the temple, and he could not force it to be cancelled. Because it is not only Qianlong City that has such a group sacrifice method, but it is available in many places, but it is not so frequent.
Even if some ordinary poor people encounter something unpleasant, they cannot go to the far-reaching temple and have no good sacrifices, even a mouthful of rice, a glass of wine, or even half a cup of tea, they will choose a special stone or tree on the side of the road as the object of sacrifice to make wishes and seek blessings. This is a belief of mankind, and sometimes it is also a spiritual sustenance of mankind, and this thing cannot be forced to be suppressed.
It can be said that in places where there is no legal system, people believe in this, and sometimes they are bound by etiquette, righteousness and faith. People know that bad things cannot be done, and revenge cannot be ended, and etiquette must be paid attention to anything. This is actually a fundamental difference between humans and animals. Respect and respect are vividly expressed in front of these believers.
"Oh, yes, the creation of the City Lord's Mansion this time has a great feeling for us. Those poor people are not as low as we imagined. They have the same wisdom as us and their ability to do anything is not worse than us. On the contrary, they have suffered, so they work harder than us in doing things, and they don't even know how tired they are.
What are they doing? They just want to have enough food, right? Instead of pouring these things into the valley and wasting them, it is better to give them to people for food, which can make people grateful to us." Duan Zhu sighed again.
Due to time constraints, he did not know about the sacrifice of the Qianlong City. He just knew that each family wanted to send a lot of fresh fish to Yulong Mountain, and he also knew that it was actually for zombies to eat. But he really didn't expect that the sacrifices were used as face to compete.
"Master of Duan Family, someone can just drive a car to hold a sacrifice. Why do so many people follow behind empty-handed?" Wang Gongnan looked at a group of empty-handed people behind the Duan Family and said to Duan Zhu. These people are all ordinary people, and Wang Gongnan saw that most of them had not cultivated true energy.
"Oh, they are all weak people in our family. They basically cannot cultivate true qi, or even if they cultivate true qi, they cannot cultivate to achieve the mysterious body. According to the traditional saying of Qianlong City, they say that they did bad things in their previous life and had to make up for it with diligence in this life." Duan Zhu said.
"I've made up for it diligently? What's this saying?" Wang Gongnan said in surprise.
"Brother Lu, there is one thing in the inheritance of our family's head order that if the weak people in the family want to become stronger in the next life, they must go to Yulong Mountain with the family's sacrifice on time. When the family sacrifices, they will concentrate on the back of the temple and receive the blood exchange of gods. In this way, they can become normal people in the next life and cultivate true energy early." Duan Zhu said.
"Oh? There is such a magical thing? The head of the Duan family, can only the weak people from each family accept the baptism of blood exchange?" Wang Gongnan asked in surprise. He knew now that the zombies in Yulong Mountain, the lower-level ones, would eat raw fish and slowly improve their cultivation. The higher-level ones would suck human blood to improve their cultivation.
"Brother Lu is not all the weak people in the family. Sometimes, some people in the family who feel they are not strong enough will take the initiative to join this team to do a blood-changing baptism. In normal times, there will be many ordinary people from Qianlong City who follow the team of each family to receive a blood-changing baptism together.
But this time, because of the founding of the City Lord's Mansion, all those who came back after the war were given food, so they were all enjoying life, and few people followed. Look, the dozen people walking behind our family are not from our Duan family, but ordinary people from Qianlong City. If the heroes have time to wait for the sacrifice next month, you will see dense crowds of people behind each family, and the sacrifice team will last for more than ten miles, which is very spectacular." Duan Zhu said.
"Head Duan, is this effective?" Lu Niu couldn't help asking.
"It should be effective, otherwise, these endless years have passed down, why do people still go so enthusiastically? And, among the people who go there, there are people who are going to receive the baptism of blood exchange. Without the guidance of these people, how could others believe it so much?" Duan Zhu also said in confusion.
"Head Duan Family, has anyone come back to talk about the situation during the blood exchange baptism after receiving the blood exchange baptism?" Wang Gongnan asked.
"People who went there said that when they got there, a breeze blew over and they all fell asleep in a daze. Some people said that they seemed to be dreaming, dreaming of red light. When they woke up, they felt weak all over and all their faces were pale. There are rumors here that the gods took away the lower blood from these people and wanted these people to regenerate new blood with their own abilities.
It's strange to say that some people often wake up after undergoing a blood change baptism and find that although they are weak, they already have a sense of true energy in their bodies." Duan Zhu said.
"So, as soon as this matter spreads, many people rushed to each other. But we are warriors, and we all know that it is not possible for people to lose too much blood. If they change blood like this, will no one be in danger of losing too much blood?" Wang Gongnan said in confusion.
"Oh, Brother Lu, of course, some people will have problems. Every time, some people don't get up in the blood-changing baptism area. However, some people say that it is because these people are too attentive, and this is reincarnation and rebirth, ending the pain of this life. And, it is very strange that when all those who can walk on their own walk out of the blood-changing baptism area, a gust of wind will suddenly blow all those who cannot walk or those who are dead into the air, and fly upwards with whirlpools, disappearing under everyone's gaze." Duan Zhu said.
