History of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 121 Prayer Ceremony·Bamboo Divination

"What you just danced was the ugly dance?"

The witch was chatting secretly with An Feng under the tree. She looked nervous and seemed hopeful.

But An Feng said quietly: "I used to be a servant in Lord Feng's Palace of Classics, and I saw this dance by chance, but I didn't know why women are ugly..."

"Fengjun."

Feng Yun originally saw the witch talking to An Feng and didn't want to come forward, but An Feng saw it and bowed to him, drawing him into the conversation between the two.

"Master Feng is here." The witch said cheerfully.

"I heard that the king moved a palace to accommodate Baiyue's witchcraft for Lord Feng. The old woman had time to do the sacrifice, so she wanted to take a look."

"Witches are naturally welcome." Feng Yun smiled lightly.

Based on his understanding of An Feng's stay in Yao, he must have done it deliberately, and he did not want to stop it.

At this time, the witch seemed to be hiding her face and did not want to talk about the ugly dance anymore.

"Mr. Feng, the sacrifice is about to begin, please be prepared."

"Yun understand."

…

When offering sacrifices at noon, there are crowds of people from Baiyue on the side of the altar.

Most of them were dignitaries, and the King of Baiyue was standing in the middle. On the left was the leader of the Bao clan, and on the right was Feng Yun, a Zhou native who had just entered Baiyue.

This is the King of Baiyue establishing his power for Feng Yun.

This forced some people from small tribes to pay attention to Feng Yun's status.

The witch stood on the altar and presided over the ceremony.

He fully agreed with the arrangement of King Baiyue: "At least the king is not confused and knows who can help him."

But the Bao family, including the clan leader, were very dissatisfied with Feng Yun's position.

"King, how can the people of this week be on the same level as us..."

"Alas, Lord Feng's virtue is here, how can we Baiyue hate Lord Feng." In response to Feng Yun's incident, the King of Baiyue, who had always been friendly with the Bao family, was not shaken at all.

This made the leader of the Leopard clan furious.

And the young people after Bao Shi were also aggrieved.

"Obviously our clan has won the competition and we want to hold blessings. Why do we let that Zhou people stand there..."

Such remarks reached Leopard Luo's ears. He raised his head and looked at the three people standing on the high place. He glanced at them one by one and recently landed on Feng Yun. However, he could only see the back, which made his gaze become more and more intense.

Say it fiercely.

Hunters never face the beasts directly, but wait for them to turn around and expose their backs!

At this time, the leopard was like a hunter raising a long bow, looking for Feng Yun's weakness.

But Feng Yun is not a ferocious beast.

As if sensing hostility, Feng Yun turned back and looked down.

Leopard Luo's fierce gaze was full of provocation.

Feng Yun smiled lightly, turned around without caring, and went to watch the sacrifice that had already begun.

He Feng Yun can even kill the king of a big country, let alone a member of this barbaric tribe.

His eyes are not focused on this trivial matter.

He looked around slightly...

The witch raised her scepter high, and a huge force of witchcraft burst out.

As an innate shaman, when he performs sacrifices, the heaven and earth will change!

The wind blew up all around, and clouds surged in the sky, covering the entire altar, leaving only a hole through which a bright beam of light shone.

Hitting the witch's body, the witch's silver jewelry shone brightly.

I saw the witch waving her staff, and then white mist turned into snakes, floating around her.

With the power of the silver ring on his wrist, Feng Yun knew that it was not the power of the scepter, but the earrings on the witch's ears that were performing witchcraft.

"go!"

White snakes are flying.

Dance together with the Yao girls and Yao boys who are constantly dancing on the altar.

This scene is even more vivid than when Feng Yun summoned the yellow dragon with dead leaves on top of the city.

It can be seen that the witch is very proficient in witchcraft.

As the white snake appeared, the surrounding mountains and water began to move, and spiritual fish and colorful birds flew in to participate in the sacrifice.

"%￥*&..." This is a curse that Feng Yun doesn't understand.

But it seems to be telling heaven and earth to summon the butterfly mother, so that the butterfly mother can watch Baiyue's suffering...

Feng Yun looked elsewhere——

The people of Baiyue were watching the sacrifice and sincerely prayed to their king, the butterfly mother they believed in.

The ambitious guy is ready to benefit himself in the sacrifice, and the look of contempt and arrogance on his face cannot be concealed.

While the King of Baiyue was enjoying the sacrifice, the people of Baiyue respected him.

…

Feng Yun was watching them, getting a glimpse of Baiyue Kingdom's national conditions and the relationship between tribes, using it to discuss national policies and govern the country.

"Fengjun..." Li Yue was not far away from Feng Yun. When she saw Feng Yun's gaze, she waved in a low voice with a smile on her face.

When Feng Yun saw this, he smiled and nodded.

An Feng, who was on the other side, looked at it with slightly sad eyes, and then turned to watch the sacrifice seriously.

He held his heart in both hands and said to himself: "I hope the Nuwa family will return to glory."

…

After several hours of continuous worship, the Baiyue people were not tired at all, because the next step was the time for the final prayer for blessings.

Anyone from Baiyue can receive blessings to ensure good health and smooth life.

Those boys and girls in Baiyue also need to accept the blessing gifts prepared for them by their parents.

And this blessing was hosted by Leopard Luo.

The strange phenomena around him did not disappear even after the witch stepped down...

The witch handed him the sacrificial staff, and Leopard Luo was in high spirits.

He raised his head and said: "Come on stage!"

Under his arrangement, boys and girls walked onto the stage one by one.

Li Yue hurriedly pulled away the young girl beside her and came to Feng Yun's side.

"Fengjun, come on stage quickly."

But then she remembered what the witch said, that if she got too close to Feng Yun, she was afraid that Feng Yun would be criticized, and then she let go.

"Let's go." Li Yue was a little dissatisfied, but there were so many people here, and she didn't want to cause trouble to Feng Yun because of her actions.

Seeing Li Yue like this, Feng Yun got to know the princess of Baiyue again.

"Huh?" Seeing Feng Yun come on stage, Baoluo knew that this was the witch's concession.

But he still wondered: "This week... Feng Jun, someone is preparing a blessing ceremony?"

At this point, Feng Yun finally remembered that he had no elders in Baiyue.

"Don't worry, I'm prepared!" He saw the second elder taking off a bamboo instrument from his waist outside the altar.

"The bamboo divination of Erlao Er."

The second elder took the bamboo musical instrument as his natal instrument and named it bamboo divination, which means the sound of "dong-dong". It is the object used by the second elder to drive wild beasts.

Although the utensil given by the second elder at this time was a newly made instrument, there is something strange about a literary object even if it is written twice. This bamboo divination took a lot of effort from the second elder, so it naturally has something strange about it.

It would be good if Feng Yun could use it to give lectures.

Many young girls looked at it with envy in their eyes.

"My father asked the second elder for one before, but the second elder didn't agree..."

"Don't say it's you. Even if the Great Elder asks for it, he won't get it."

"I heard that the king asked the second elder for help, but the second elder said that the king's eldest son, He Erzi, was suitable for the elder's teaching. He didn't accept it, so he didn't give it to him."

"..."

Feng Yun heard the sound and gave a distant salute to the second elder.

The second elder waved his hand. He also heard the discussions around him, but so what, his destiny weapon was not mainly for controlling beasts.

Those who are knowledgeable or older around them all know that the second elder's natal weapon was obtained by studying the murals in the ancestral cave, not from controlling beasts.

In the entire Baiyue Gong clan, only the second elder and the first elder have the weapon of destiny. The first elder is the leader of the clan's force, while the second elder is the leader of the clan's discipline.

Each performs his own duties, which is equivalent to the uncles in the Zhou clan.

If the power within the clan were to be unified, even the king would have to give in.

However, the second elder and the first elder knew how to use discretion and never interfered in the king's political affairs.
