The Ceremony of Inviting Gods is the most grand ceremony of this tribe that has lasted for thousands of years and is held every thirty years.
God is the most noble belief of this tribe. They firmly believe that everything they have now is given to his believers by the true God far away in the sky, even though they have never seen God's true face.
This ceremony is the moment when they are closest to God, and they will receive the most generous rewards accordingly.
The Saint is the product of this system. She is a destined person chosen by all the elders from among the villagers. Not only does the chosen girl not have the right to refuse, but she also has to spend her entire life within the high walls of the Saint's Temple.
But even so, their lives are very short. When the thirty-years summoning ceremony comes, the saint will be tied to the pillars built at that time, accompanied by the selected maids.
When the time comes, the elders will light the firewood under the pillar and drown the girls in the blazing flames.
According to the little girl, the ceremony of inviting gods a thousand years ago did not seem to be like it is today, but for some reason, the tribesmen now are much crazier.
They believed that fire could dispel all evil, and that the girls who were burned to death could directly reach the true God and convey all the demands of the tribe on their behalf.
After briefly listening to the little girl's description, Yu Zhi couldn't help rubbing her arms which were a little cold.
To be fair, this time the plot does not have many horror elements, but the chilling feeling emanating from the story and environment is hard not to make people shudder.
Han Chuang seemed to have thought of something, took a breath, pointed at Yu Zhi and asked: "You, you, aren't you the Saint?!"
Yu Zhi's face didn't look very good either, and she naturally thought of this.
But she wasn't confusing reality with fiction, or getting too caught up in the role. She was just thinking...
So according to the original plan of the director team, he really had to tie himself up and wait for his teammates to rescue him, right?
I just climbed over a wall and pressed a button in this program crew. The director is too stingy!
She huffed, her expression serious as she nodded, then asked the girl beside her, "Is there anything different about this ceremony?"
The girl thought for a moment and replied, "The difference is that the previous Saint escaped from the Saint's Palace over ten years ago and has not been seen since."
"Run away?" A shout suddenly came from behind.
Yu Zhi guessed that Yu Qiying wanted to act surprised to attract everyone's attention, but she accidentally used too much force and almost broke her voice.
Rubbing her ears which were a little painful from the shock, Yu Zhi looked at the little girl gently, encouraging her to continue.
"She escaped when she was seventeen, and no one has seen her since then. However, it is said that she escaped from the tribe, married a foreigner, and gave birth to a boy."
The director desperately grasped the table in front of him, suppressing the urge to intervene silently.
It’s true that the program is now trying to develop in a more free direction, but this! It’s said too much!
Unfortunately, no one cared about the poor, bald man. The little girl looked at Yu Zhi and continued, "You are the new Saint who was re-elected in the incident fifteen years ago. Because of what happened before, the clan has been keeping a closer watch on you. However, a few days ago, there was news that the Saint had escaped."
"Then why didn't the Saint Lady react after seeing me?"
If what the little girl said was true, they should have arrested themselves.
The little girl seemed a little confused. After thinking for no reason, she shook her head.
Yu Zhi nodded, realizing that what followed was probably beyond her knowledge, so she gave up the idea of asking further. After all, you can't fleece a sheep by getting its wool.
She intended to invite the other party to join them next time, ostensibly to protect the other party's safety, but in fact she just wanted to find a guide.
The village is so big, and Han Chuang doesn't have the road-finding skills that the other Huskies have. How long will it take him to get around?
But the girl refused. She seemed a little embarrassed and took a few steps towards Yu Zhi, whispering in her ear, "The director won't let me go. He's yelling so loudly."
The last sentence was full of disgust and resentment.
However, this sound was clearly transmitted to the live broadcast room...
[Sisters, I just came back from the director's perspective hahahaha]
[Let me relay this! The girl must have been hesitant at first, but the director immediately stood up, slammed the table, and roared, "Don't go with her!!" That voice gave the assistant director beside him a startled shudder.]
[He also heard this rant, hahahaha, and now he's patting himself on the back to calm down.]
[Other programs pay guests, this program pays the director.]
Let's crowdfund a wig for the director. I'll contribute ten cents!
…
However, the leader's words were still somewhat intimidating, and the few of them could only say goodbye to the little girl and set out on their next journey again.
To be honest, Yu Zhi doesn't think she is a very friendly person, and she has no interest in returning kindness when others are not kind to her.
So she had intended to walk separately from Yu Qiying at the beginning. After all, there were many parts of the village that had not been fully explored, and even without any personal feelings, this option should be the wisest.
But before she could finish her words, Yu Qiying came forward as if nothing had happened, hugged Yu Zhi's arm, and said in a sweet voice: "Zhizhi, let's go."
In the current situation, if you refuse, you might be accused of disrespecting the guests.
Yu Zhi raised her eyebrows. Acting, right? Who can’t do that?
The little girl first pulled her arm out, and before the other person's face became even uglier, she put it on her shoulder again. Although she was smiling, the smile did not reach her eyes. She said, "Let's go, Yingying."
Yu Qiying's perfect expression management almost revealed a flaw. What on earth is Yu Zhi doing?
But it was only for a moment, and she immediately regained her sisterly attitude, and the two walked forward side by side.
Although these actions have countless connotations, they only take a few seconds in reality. How could a little kid like Han Chuang understand them?
He blinked in place and began to wonder if he had missed something important. Why was he still out of touch with the world?
…
Although she had just heard the story, Yu Zhi still continued to stroll on with a swagger.
She had more or less guessed why the Saint Lady had not taken her back just now.
Since a saint has to go through so much hardship, her power must be quite high. Even the elder at the beginning knelt on one knee and respectfully invited her back. I'm afraid they didn't dare to offend her.
I guess the director couldn't destroy this relationship at will, so he didn't make any noise to interfere.
However, after realizing this, she became even more unbridled, and even dared to chat with the busy villagers nearby for a while, completely forgetting that she had sneaked out.
Han Chuang looked at the figure a few meters away who was chatting with the extras, and couldn't help but begin to admire his boss.
Sister Zhi is not an ordinary woman, so her man must be extraordinary too!
However, Yu Zhi did not waste her time, and she actually asked some unusual questions.
For example, this tribe is very closed and never allows outsiders to enter or its own people to go out. Once discovered, they will be executed immediately.
However, according to them, before the previous saint escaped, a stranger broke in and was not punished at all. Instead, he was able to have a long talk with the patriarch and walked out safely.
Yes, their tribe has always been led by a patriarch, but Yu Zhi has never seen this person mentioned by the people.
Things suddenly became confusing.
What role does the patriarch play in this entire feudal story?
Does the legendary little boy really exist?
Does God really exist, or is he just a fictional creation?
Everything, like a mystery, is entangled in everyone's heart.
