That night!
It was destined to be a sleepless night.
Countless non-Miao people were completely swept up in the fervor of their love for the Miao region!
Let's jump together and drink together!
Lin Bei and Su Qian, executives of the two major capital companies --
And countless wealthy merchants flocked to the Lusheng bonfire dance ground where the future Miao King and the current Holy Maiden were located.
The scene was extremely shocking.
Ah Chen and Ah Mo left the scene at four in the morning.
One hour later--
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three war drums sounded in unison.
Afterwards, the Miao people at the Lusheng field in Quedong Village left in an orderly manner and cleaned up the site as soon as possible.
This scene left the non-Miao people somewhat bewildered.
Because the thousand Miao men and women moved too fast!
Despite the large number of people, it was not chaotic at all.
"What are they trying to do? Why did they clear out this largest section of land?!"
"Yes, they've all been refunded and moved to other venues."
"No, no, although the Miao people are retreating, it seems like they are preparing for something."
"I remember now! I remember now, it's a sacrifice, they're going to perform a sacrifice."
There was discussion everywhere.
soon!
Dawn broke, and the azure sky was as clear as crystal!
As the first rays of winter sunlight fall upon the Miao village, a gentle morning mist envelops it.
Stilted houses are scattered among the trees, with wisps of smoke rising from their chimneys.
The most intense emotions from the night's passionate dancing had not yet dissipated.
On the Miao side, it seems that an even more domineering and magnificent scene is about to begin.
Chen Shi, 7 o'clock sharp.
The sacrificial ceremony officially begins--
This year's sacrificial ceremony was different from what people saw last year.
The Lusheng field, which can accommodate tens of thousands of Miao people at the same time, is surrounded by crowds of people, all watching the field.
"Oh my god, what's going on here! So awesome!"
"This is incredible! The future Miao King and Holy Maiden have changed their outfits! Are these the Miao King's robes and the Holy Maiden's robes?"
"Yes, yes, I saw it at last year's drum festival, it's this kind."
“I saw it last year too, but this year’s is even more imposing. Look, the first to enter are the Miao King and the Holy Maiden.”
The sheer volume of sound generated by the tens of thousands of onlookers was truly awe-inspiring.
Lin Bei, Zhuo Nan, Chu Yanchen, Lan Tian, Han Feng, Su Qian, Yao Ye, Xiao Yan, and others were on the high steps.
And Yan Hao, the Wang brothers, teacher Meng Ci, classmate She Ling, and others.
Even the countless wealthy merchants and non-Miao people were stunned.
Because of what's happening now—
magnificent!
The future Miao King and the current Holy Maiden both appeared in Miao King's attire and Holy Maiden's attire, respectively.
Their clothing was unparalleled.
The long train of the skirt was held up by three of the most beautiful young women and a strong Miao man.
The couple walked with their arms outstretched from the center toward the sacrificial site.
Behind him, in the first row, were five Miao men in their seventies.
The second row consisted of forty elderly Miao men.
The third row consisted of forty-five imposing and powerful Miao men.
The twelve branches, on the other hand, entered through other entrances, led by the chief village chief and the branch's old witch, along with the most core Miao men and women of each branch.
Each branch of the Miao people stood in neat formation, and the tops of the lusheng (a type of reed pipe instrument) they played were all tied with red silk scarves.
Looking around the entire venue.
A sea of red.
The girls' finery shimmered with silver, and the sound of their silver bells jingled softly.
Each branch moved very slowly, using Miao dance as their method.
The teams lined up and gradually moved in concentric circles towards the center.
"Oh my god, this is so shocking! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would believe it?"
"Yes, I used to only hear people say that the major festivals of the Miao people are very impressive, but I didn't believe it."
"I've learned so much! I've really learned a lot!"
Countless non-Miao people were amazed, but they were just watching the spectacle.
Those who knew a bit about the intricacies stared at the three rows of Miao people behind Ah Chen and Ah Mo, marveling at their appearance.
"Incredible, Miao territory is truly taking off."
"Why do you say that, sir?"
See for yourself.
“I saw their drum festival last year. I remember the nine clan elders were in the first row. How come there are only five this year? It seems that only the elders of the Miao ethnic group in eastern Guizhou are here. The other clan elders have all gone to the second row.”
"Yeah! Something doesn't feel right. Look at their jackals, they should be in the second row, but this year they're in the third row."
“That’s right, that’s right, I also noticed something was wrong! In the Miao people, even the chief chief can’t stand in the same row as the eight wolves. Who are those Miao people of the same age? They’re all fierce and look very unfamiliar.”
"Sir, from what you just said, do you know something?"
The old man being asked must be at least seventy years old.
Seeing how curious and, more importantly, how polite these Han people were, he voiced his suspicions.
"If I'm not mistaken, the five Miao elders in the first row behind the future Miao King and Holy Maiden should be the elders of the five major Miao clans."
"The second row consists of all the elders of the five major Miao tribes, except for the chief elder."
"The third row is made up of the jackals of the five Miao regions."
The old man said these few words simply, and quietly left amidst the astonishment of those around him.
moment--
These non-Miao people, after regaining their senses, stood there in astonishment for a long time before they came to their senses.
"The Five Miao Regions? This...this--"
"That's impossible!"
"Yeah, that's impossible! Everyone knows how many Miao people live in the Five Miao Regions."
"There are at least four or five million, and they're all going to be managed by the future Miao King?"
