Chapter 260: Ceremony

The quiet sky passed by, and the warm sun was slanted up the slope. Today's Xuan clan seemed particularly lively. In the morning, there were tribe members coming in and out. They were busy and busy, as if they were laying something around the cave, and their faces were filled with joy. It was very lively indoors and outdoors.

Faced with this craze, Chen Ling took two cakes from the stove and was about to come out. When she saw this rare thing, she was called by her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law stepped out from the inside, wearing a purple-red cheongsam, with a white belt around her waist, and her hair was combed behind her bun, and a golden hairpin was on one side, showing her nobility. She was already over forty years, and after this dress, she looked completely different, which made people shine. Although she was a woman's figure, she was graceful and charming.

Chen Ling had never seen her mother-in-law dressed like today. With this soft and icy temperament, she seemed to be ten years younger. She saw her coming to her with a new suit in her hand and handed it to him: Today is the big day of the Xuan clan. Everyone will wear new suits to participate in the event. This is sewn by the mother-in-law for you in advance. It should be fit.

Chen Ling took the new clothes and said curiously: "Mother-in-law, is today the Hunting Festival?"

Seeing that he was curious, the mother-in-law said bluntly: "Today is the hunting day for the Xuan tribe every twenty years. You will know later," then instructed: "Go and change your new clothes quickly, the event will begin soon."

Chen Ling nodded and ran towards his residence. This was his first time attending such a grand event, and he didn't want to miss the slightest bit of this grand event.

Not long after, Chen Ling came outside the cave. As soon as he arrived at the entrance, he was shocked by the scene. He saw a main platform built right in front of the cave entrance. The platform was built in square shape with three main positions on the middle, and three sub-positions on both sides. Chen Ling could tell at a glance that the three main positions in the middle were the clan leader, the mage and the mother-in-law, and the left and right were the elders who were quite prestigious in the clan.

A tribe flag was planted around the wooden platform, and a circle of fence-like ladders were built several hundred meters below the platform. The ladders were separated by several meters and rented clan flags were also floating. They were close to the bottom of the ladder. Every few meters, a big drum was placed on it and circled around the ladder. There was a large round table in the middle, which was particularly eye-catching. A wooden frame was raised horizontally on the round table, and the wooden frame was hung with animal bones. Some were huge in shape, some were quite common, and some were unknown. There was a huge incense sacrifice altar behind the animal bones, which looked a little solemn.

The fence-like ladder surrounds the central circular platform and connects the main platform in front of the hole. A clear space is left between the circular platform and the surrounding ladder, and a field of dozens of meters square is left between the main platform and the circular platform. The overall layout is reasonable and atmospheric, which shocks people.

People from all walks of life, wearing all kinds of clothes, shuttled between the venues. Some of them had a great time talking to each other, while others wiped the hunting tools in their hands and were ready to go.

Chen Ling squeezed into the crowd and saw that most of the tribe members gathered together in groups of families, but in a corner on the right side of the venue, there were crowds of people, and everyone was heading towards that corner in turn, as if some ceremony was being held.

Many people in the crowd greeted him, which made him feel quite warm. He was known to him in the clan. Everyone in the clan watched him grow up. This child was naturally familiar to them and was also a lucky widow who was highly anticipated by the clan leader and the mage. Everyone knows this.

However, over the years, although the young man has something unique to others, his meridian cultivation has disappointed people. His expectations for him have gradually become lukewarm over time. In the eyes of the clan, he is still an ordinary mortal life. At least most of the clans think so, but his down-to-earth and kindness is deeply loved by the clans. Over the years, the clans cannot say good or bad to him, and they are just used to it.

Chen Ling cleaned his sleeves. This new suit was sewn by his mother-in-law. It fitted just right on it, which also made him feel comfortable and was about to go there.

Brother Shunzi called him, and when he looked back, Ni Wanqing on the ladder was waving to him and greeting him.

After Chen Ling looked at the corner, he headed towards the stairs. When he got up the stairs, he saw Ni Wanqing wearing a purple dress, a pink belt, a very delicate face, and a pair of bright eyes that were watery and extremely agile. Seeing Chen Ling approaching, she looked up and down, and said happily: "Well, this new dress looks so good to wear on Brother Shunzi," then she said with envy: "Mother-in-law's hands are so clever, even my mother-in-law can't catch up. It would be great if I, Ni Wanqing, could have the skills of my mother-in-law."

Chen Ling didn't say anything, but was calm in his heart. Listening to another noise in the venue, the two of them looked at the crowd on the stairs. Chen Ling said in confusion: "Ni Wanqing, what are they doing in that corner?"

Ni Wanqing smiled and said in a good mood: "They were touching the hunting makeup on their faces. There was a large jar filled with bone liquid. This bone liquid was refined from the giant animal bones. Touching it on their faces will make the prey frightened and it will be easier to hunt."

Seeing Chen Ling fascinated by hearing this, Ni Wanqing couldn't help but talk about it in great enthusiasm, and said, "I heard that this beast bone was captured by a ancestor of my Xuan clan. He refined his giant bones into bone fluid, and he has been used until now."

She sighed slightly: "It can be seen that giant beast is so huge, and how accomplished our ancestors' veins are, that we can tame and refine it."

Chen Ling was speechless when he heard this, and said with a look of surprise: "Is that beast bone still there?"

Ni Wanqing almost couldn't help it, and smiled and said, "A full of black juice, what other animal bones are there?"

After saying this, Chen Lingru woke up like a broken head. She couldn't help but pat her head and said with an embarrassed look: I'm really stupid, I can't even understand this, and then asked: "Then do we want to apply it too?"

The girl was amused by his honest appearance and said happily: "Of course, all participants have to touch the hunting makeup. This is the rule. After entering the mountains, the aura emitted by the ancient bone liquid can not only convince the prey, but also play a role in suppressing evil."

Chen Ling nodded repeatedly when he heard this. There were also things he had never known about this hunting festival, and it became increasingly difficult to understand the mystery of the Xuan Realm.

Ni Wanqing pulled her hair and said cutely, "Let's go, Brother Shunzi, why are you going too," and then pulled Chen Ling down the stairs.

Shunzi looked at the crowded figure and asked in confusion: "Strange, why didn't Brother Ding Dali be seen? Didn't he like the fun? Why is he missing now?"

Chan Ni Wanqing said coquettishly: "He has been squeezed in front of him for a long time, why don't you mind him?"

Soon, the crowd who had already applied hunting makeup walked up the ladder in turn, while the older representatives of the family members were standing aside to wait. Their faces were covered with bone fluid, making their skin look darker and more powerful in the sun.

Finally, it was Chen Ling and Ni Wanqing's turn to make up, but they saw a thick-shaped young man next to him, with his face as black as ink, squeezed his eyes and said to them: "Why did you two come? I, Ding Dali, have been waiting for you for a long time. When you didn't come, I wiped a little first."

His face was thickly painted, his face was already wide, and he showed his two black faces, which made people unable to hide his embarrassing smile.

Chen Ling almost burst out laughing and said incrediblely: "No, Brother Ding Dali, this is too exaggerated."

Ding Dali said with a blind eye: "What's wrong? No... No, is there any problem?"

Ni Wanqing covered her nose and sneered, "Dai Niu, are you sure you only applied a little?"

He joked again: "Where is my face? Why do I only see a smear of darkness?" Then he turned red lips and couldn't help laughing.

Ding Dali didn't care at all. In his opinion, he didn't know how to write these two words when he was going to hunt, but he just heard that the more he would be able to help him, so he believed it. He wanted to give himself more good luck, so he smeared a little more. Unexpectedly, when they saw that he had this reaction, they also smiled with their teeth in their arms.

Chen Ling and Ni Wanqing also applied some bone fluid lightly, and the three of them chose the elevator near the main platform to sit, waiting for the start of the grand event.

Soon, Mr. Tan, Ji Shan and his mother-in-law came to the main stage one after another, and there were Manager Liu, Chan Po and a few elders. After he came to the stage, Mr. Tan sat in the middle. On the left was Master Ji Shan, on the right was Master Sanniang, and on the right were the other six people, and on the left were the left and right were the other six people sitting one after another.

Seeing that the main figure in the clan had already sat down, the clan's people on the left side of the front of the stage waved the clan flag in their hands, and drums suddenly sounded everywhere, and the people were roaring. At this time, the Xuanjie was quiet and thunder was blowing, and the flag was fluttering in the wind.

As the drums rang out, the older representatives of the family members also entered the venue before the main platform one after another. More than a hundred people stood in line, and the scene was very spectacular.

Chen Ling looked out to the field and finally found the familiar figure at the corner in front of the line. The two sharp axes on Xiao Man's waist looked particularly shining in the sun. At this time, he was tall and ready to be sent.

The chess player in front of the field waved again, and the drums suddenly stopped, and the field was also quiet.

Manager Liu on the stage stood up and looked at Old Tan, and Old Tan nodded signal. Manager Liu stepped forward a few steps, came to the stage, looked at everyone, and said aloud: "The sacrifice to heaven begins."

As the sound of sacrifice to the sky sounded, everyone knelt down devoutly like a heart-to-heart relationship. The entire stair platform, including all the tribesmen in the field, also kneeled towards the round platform in the circle, keeping their kowtow motionless.

Shunfengzi and Ding Dali learned it one by one with Ni Wanqing. Even the leaders and several elders on the main stage were not included, and they all knelt down to the round platform in the field.

Manager Liu also knelt down. After three bows and bows, he said, "Sacrifice for incense."

Mr. Tan, Master Jishan and his mother-in-law Sanniang stood up one after another. Three people handed incense on the side of the field, so the three of them went down from the main platform and headed towards the round platform. The field lined up in the field to give up one from the middle. The three of them came to the round platform, with the clan leader Mr. Tan as the center. Jishan and his mother-in-law bowed three times to the horizontal frame and sacrificed the incense in their hands to the altar.

He slowly stood up and sat at the main platform. At this time, everyone stood up and waited for the next time to stand by.

Manager Liu said loudly again: "How to do it."

Not sure when Grandpa Ji Shan changed into a black robe and stepped forward again. He whipped a long whip in the sky. With a light click, he instantly arrived at the round platform in the field. His body skills were mysterious, like a black eagle waving his wings. Chen Ling heard from his mother-in-law that Grandpa Ji Shan was transformed by a slaughtered eagle that had been alive for hundreds of years. His veins were profound. Today, he only used a few unique skills, which was shocking and full of expectations.

Before coming to lead the altar, a flame suddenly burst out from the altar. Ji Shan threw out his whip, his palms were connected, and he sat in front of the altar, and the long whip soared into the air, immediately rolled into a circle, rotating back and forth around the exploding and vigorous flame, making a sound, revealing a trace of golden light.
