Others experienced an unprecedented first time, and so did Jiang Chao.

He saw the dance of the witches for the first time through the "moon eye" embedded in the cloud wall. It was the original Nuo dance inherited from ancient times, and the phantom of witches passed down from generation to generation in ancient times.

.

For the first time, Jiang Chao knew that the poems he had heard before were so shocking when expressed in the form of singing and dancing.

At this moment, the standard and elegant curtain call that faintly reached my ears became a little blurry.

"Welcome all guests, welcome everyone..."

And outside the cloud wall.

Under the bonfire.

With the arrival of "Yun Zhongjun", the group of witches also completely fell into madness.

The leading sacrificial witch raised his hands and chanted a blessing, and the witches danced like goddesses in the clouds, guarding the witches standing in the "clouds".

The masked "Lord of the Mountains and Rivers" shouted the name of Lord Yun Zhong and held up the tray and sacrifices in his hands.

The blind blind master led the other blind masters to play Kagura while walking in strange steps. They beat the drums wildly, as if they were trying to introduce a violent storm into the foothills.

The congratulatory message has the elegance of the ancient Chu era, and the melody has the roughness of the primitive wilderness.

The dances of the witches are also the same. They are wonderful and blend naturally with the heaven and earth.

And all of this is dedicated to one person, or God.

"Yun Zhongjun."

Welcoming the gods is just the beginning, and then the shamans formally send praises and sacrifices to the gods. In the past, this process was more symbolic than real, but it is different today.

The cloud wall, which symbolizes the gate between the worlds of gods and humans, is right in front of you, and "Yun Zhongjun", carrying countless brilliance, stands in the jade wall.

Although he said nothing, his power was as powerful as the blazing sun that cannot be looked directly at.

The shamans wearing the masks of "Lord of Mountains and Rivers" came to the cloud wall one after another, or hunched over, imitating the postures of various spirits or apes in the mountains, and placed the offerings in front of "Yun Zhongjun".

Or they can stand on all fours and crawl in front of the gods in the posture of tigers, wolves, jackals and leopards.

Every time they took a step forward, the blind master's drum beat also played, and the sound followed their steps step by step, and the flames of the bonfire seemed to dance with it.

The shadows of the witches were also swaying in confusion.

One after another, the masked shamans came to the cloud wall. They had practiced this Nuo dance thousands of times, but never once did they exert their full strength like this.

They felt that the blood in their bodies was burning and their whole bodies became hot. They did not dare to raise their heads and gradually approached the shadow.

My body couldn't help but tremble, and I could only express my inner fear and awe with endless wild dances and exaggerated movements.

Finally, in the trembling and madness, the sacrifice was offered.

And at this moment.

They felt as if what was offered was not a sacrifice, but their own flesh and blood, their whole body and mind.

Immediately afterwards, the group of witches reported the affairs of the world to the gods through singing, dancing and congratulations.

Then, pray to the gods for good weather, abundant harvests and blessings.

The night got deeper and deeper, until the bonfire gradually became smaller.

Gradually, the high-pitched and fast-paced Kagura gradually became long and ethereal, and the witches seemed to be exhausted, and their movements began to become slow and reluctant.

That is the joy of sending gifts to God.

Finally, as the group of witches lay motionless on the ground, even Kagura ended.

The tens of thousands of brilliance released from the cloud wall gradually retracted, and the entire mountain peak gradually fell into darkness. As the divine light gathered, the outline integrated into the jade also gradually faded away.

It seemed as if I was gradually leaving the human world and returning to the realm belonging to the gods.

Jiang Chao was walking on the road when Wang Shu's voice came to his ears.

"It looks good!"

"Let me tell you, the show must be exciting, much more interesting than Tetris!"

"And my headlight is very useful, otherwise it will be a blind light and I can't see anything."

Jiang Chao didn't speak, but Wang Shu could understand what he was thinking. The way he was so distracted and silent just now revealed his thoughts.

"I'm very happy today. It's quite interesting here."

"I also recorded the performance just now. If you want to watch it later, I can show it to you."

Jiang Chao had indeed fallen into the wild dance and phantoms of the group of witches just now, but when he thought about it now, his originally joyful thoughts became deeper.

He said: "It's fine if nothing happens."

Wang Shu: "Still worried, what if they know you are not Yun Zhongjun?"

Jiang Chao: "I'm thinking that they are so crazy about the coming of the gods. If one day I can't give them what they want, will they drag me out as a god and give them a few whips?"

Wang Shu: "How is this possible? They can't do it. As long as I'm here, you will be a real god."

Jiang Chao: "Just remind yourself that a god is just a status that is convenient for you to act in the future. Don't pretend to be a god and really fall into the role of a god."

At this time, Wang Shu reported the situation outside again. Although the farewell to the gods was over, the things outside were not over yet.

"The two Taoists also came and put a lot of things away."

Wang Shu's smiling voice came from the radio, telling Jiang Chao the good news.

"In one tender, both parties who bid paid, it was so worth it."

Jiang Chao: "There is no such thing as a free lunch. Everything you give is something you want in return."

Wang Shu: "But you can decide whether to give or not."

——

At the bottom of the mountain, almost everyone gathered on the road going down the mountain.

There were even many people going up along the road, but they were all blocked by policemen, Taoist boys and mountain people. Occasionally, noises could be heard.

When they saw the group of witches walking down the mountain, everyone suddenly became quiet. No one dared to speak. They looked at the witches in awe, bowing their heads and not even daring to look at them.

Magistrate Jia also walked down, but still left the officers guarding the area outside the bamboo forest. He just got on the bullock cart and returned to the county town.

Yin Yang, Ao, and He finally came down. Their bodies were very excited, but their eyes were empty, as if their souls were still at the foot of the mountain and had not returned.

As the cold wind blew in the night, the eyes of the three people gradually became brighter.

Taoist He: "That's it?"

Ao Taoist: "It seems like there is nothing going on without us?"

Compared to witchcraft, Taoism was born much later, and many of their things are inextricably related to witchcraft in ancient times.

The Taoist sect is also divided into various sects. Each sect and branch claims that it has the method of becoming an immortal, the art of immortality, and that the legendary person who became an immortal in ancient times is its ancestor.

They originate from different inheritances and worship various gods and deities.

However, there are also Taoist sects that believe that Taoists should not worship the gods. They seek to become immortals themselves, so how can they worship others.

It was not until the emperor of the previous dynasty issued an edict to destroy obscene temples and evil sacrifices, and issued identity certificates to Buddhists and Taoists in various places, that the orthodox gods in various places were organized and assigned.

Many branches of Buddhism also offer worship to these righteous gods.

However, this so-called orthodox genealogy of immortals has not actually been recognized by the various branches of the Taoist sect. Most of the Taoist branches still worship their own divine masters, or practice their own cultivation, so how can they pay homage to the immortals of other families.

therefore.

The ceremony for welcoming the gods put together by the second-in-command of Yun Zhen Dao is indeed missing something compared with those witches with inheritance.

At least in terms of background, others are too professional.

Sacrifice that has lasted for thousands of years and Nuo dance passed down from generation to generation, so after watching the shamans' ceremony to welcome the gods, Yin Yang Taoist decided to give up on the spot, but showed his face when he finally offered the sacrifice.

Ao and He looked at Taoist Yin Yang, but what they heard was a long sigh.

Yin Yang Taoist: "There really is an immortal god in this world, an immortal immortal."

The old Taoist waved his hand and walked down the mountain.

"go back!"

Taoist Ao: "What are you going back for?"

Taoist He: "Go back now?"

Yin Yang Taoist: "I have met the true immortals and learned the ancient witchcraft and Nuo techniques. This trip has been completed. After we return, we will sort out the scriptures and compile a set of my Taoist methods for inviting gods to communicate with Yin and Yang."

"This method is the supreme secret method and thousand-year heritage of my Yun Zhen Dao."
