Chapter 1640: End of the Festival
Huge square.
At this time, villagers have already gathered here one after another.
Such a huge festival caused a sensation in the entire Chu Village.
Everyone can participate in this festival.
Starting from Xiong Kaixin, to Wang Zu, and finally to the square where the civilians are.
Everyone who participates in the ceremony prays for the protection of the gods.
Above the square.
There are countless steps several dozen meters high.
And above the steps are three palaces.
The one in front is the main hall, and on both sides are side halls.
"There's a shower and changing area next to it."
Fu Ze pointed to the house next to the square.
He was showing Yang Feng the way.
Yang Feng nodded, and then asked, "By the way, where are Xiaoxin and the others?"
"According to the rules, the princess must fast and purify her mind before the ceremony begins. She is already in the main hall waiting for the ceremony to begin."
Fu Ze said.
Yang Feng understood what was going on and said, "Well, I'll go change my clothes first. When will the sacrifice start?"
"There's still more than an hour left, that's how long we calculated it."
Fu Ze said, "The entire sacrifice will probably take until dusk, so Mr. Yang will need some patience then."
"clear."
Yang Feng readily agreed.
He was also very interested in such sacrifices.
However, while the two were talking, Wu Youan beside him had already patted Yang Feng on the shoulder, and said with a grin: "Young man, I heard that you have fought with Shui Bo before? How about we have a fight sometime? I finally came out this time, what do you think of me..."
"Senior Wu, please go and prepare for the ceremony first, and then discuss this with Yang Feng."
Fu Ze interrupted him helplessly.
This time he was specifically responsible for Wu Youan's itinerary and helped him get familiar with the current world.
After all, Wu Youan fell into hibernation decades ago, and he needs to gradually transition to the present world.
But after this period of time, Fu Ze also felt helpless.
It was really hard for him to imagine that Wu Youan in front of him was actually one of the three strongest people in Chu Village, and a tough physical cultivator.
Wu Youan touched his head awkwardly and said, "Haha, I can't help it. We just happened to meet. Don't you think this is fate? For this fate, I have to compete with Yang Feng."
His eyes were sparkling with excitement.
Yang Feng also looked at Wu Youan in front of him at this time and said, "I will hope for your guidance when the time comes."
"Okay, then a gentleman's word is as good as his bond! We'll go after the ceremony is over!"
Wu Youan looked very happy, his smile was the brightest one.
His appearance at this moment was totally unlike that of a top-level strong man.
Yang Feng looked at his back and felt that his mood seemed to be much more optimistic at this time.
Influenced by Wu Youan.
Yang Feng also became much more cheerful.
After bathing and changing clothes, time gradually approached for the ceremony to begin.
Yang Feng was wearing an ancient aristocratic dress. Led by the king's soldiers, he walked step by step towards the palace steps that were dozens of meters high in front of him.
Only by actually walking on it will Yang Feng know how long the stairs are.
With every step he took forward, he seemed to be getting closer.
But when he raised his head again, he always felt that he was so far away from the main hall.
Yang Feng walked like this for a long time and finally arrived at the gate of the main hall.
Tall and straight pillars support this huge palace that is more than ten meters high.
As people from all around gradually arrived, a queue naturally formed.
Yang Feng saw many familiar faces of Wang Zu.
At this time, all these people were wearing ancient aristocratic formal clothes, which were elegant and full of nobility.
But everyone's expressions did not show the usual relaxed look.
Even Wu Youan, who was so enthusiastic just now, became serious at this moment.
At the entrance of the main hall, Yang Feng stood at the front.
He was under the reminder and could not look back.
Behind him was Peng Yuanzhi, the first person under the princess and ranked as the prime minister.
Behind Peng Yuanzhi stood Shui Bo and Wu Youan.
Behind them are Fu Ze, Zhuang Yi and other members of the Wangzu group.
These people stood in rows along the steps at the towering entrance of the main hall.
And under the steps.
The huge square turned into a sea of black.
In the beliefs of Chu culture, black always has a special status.
On many solemn occasions, they wear black clothes to show respect, mystery and solemnity to the gods.
At this time, everyone performed the same sacrificial movements naturally without any instruction.
After a brief prelude to the sacrifice, everyone bowed their heads.
Yang Feng also lowered his head at this time, until a figure slowly walked out of the main hall - Xiong Kaixin.
After fasting, Xiong Kaixin, as the only princess of the Chu State, walked in front of everyone.
Even though she was still a child, she still managed to be dignified on such an occasion.
Because in front of her was a group of people wearing uniform and looking solemn and dignified.
And next to them, there were special people who were wearing sacrificial costumes different from others and were helping to preside over this ceremony.
This is called witch in Chu culture.
Shamans are important figures in sacrificial activities and, at certain times, are people who can communicate with gods.
Although Yang Feng is well-versed in history, he has a lot of knowledge about historical events.
But he had never imagined that he would actually participate in such an incredible festival.
At this time, he even seemed a little mechanical and shocked.
Just following the guidance of the witch and other people around him, Yang Feng began to carry out every task of the ceremony.
For Yang Feng, this is not only the ancestor of Chu Village, but also the ancestor of Chinese culture.
Chinese civilization integrates the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought, and this ceremony is just a glimpse in the long river of history.
But Yang Feng could feel the ancient people's awe of the world during such a ceremony.
The festival passed by minute by minute.
After offering sacrifices to heaven, earth and ancestors, the sacrifice ceremony gradually came to an end.
And in the end, he made a request to the heaven, earth and ancestors to change the exit of this world.
This is the most important thing for the entire Chu Village. Just like asking for divination, their grand ceremony is also to seek the consent of gods and ancestors.
With the last item completed.
The sun was already setting at this point.
Almost a whole day.
Everyone follows the sacrifice here.
"Boom~"
With the last bell.
The sacrificial ceremony is over.
The people here finally came to their senses.
At this time, Yang Feng seemed to have finally woken up from that atmosphere.
Everyone walked down the towering steps slowly.
Until you reach the last step.
As soon as Yang Feng turned around, he saw Xiong Kaixin jumping down from the stairs.
"Father!"
Xiong Kaixin immediately became his usual lively self and jumped into Yang Feng's arms.
