As a saint, Yu Zhi did not walk with the crowd, but was surrounded by the group of pursuers and came directly to the high platform of the summoning ceremony.
The audience was already packed with villagers, but it was very quiet. Their expressions were very pious, as if they were really about to see a god.
When combined with the story we just heard, it is inevitable that people will feel a little uncomfortable.
The director's casting is excellent. Even the extras are very dedicated and don't give people a sense of being out of place at all.
If someone stayed in such a place for a long time, they might be terribly assimilated.
Yu Zhi was really tied to the legendary pillar, with firewood piled up under her feet. Of course, the tie was very loose, probably just for show.
She was in the highest position, so she could naturally take in everything that was happening below the stage, including her companions scattered throughout the audience.
This is an open space surrounded by high walls, which was probably built specifically for the ceremony.
Soft and mysterious music suddenly came and got closer and closer.
Here it comes, Yu Zhi thought.
There were more than ten women dressed in black divided into two rows, with trays in their hands filled with various sacrificial items such as pigs and sheep. Even the Saint Lady that Yu Zhi had met before was among them.
Behind these people is a group of people holding various musical instruments, and the sound at this time probably came from them.
As the crowd got closer, I saw that the last person was a man who was probably in his thirties or forties.
He was dressed very luxuriously, even his sleeves were trimmed with gold and even had dozens of beads sewn on them, which formed a sharp contrast with the simple attire of the tribesmen below the stage.
Even though she had never seen this person before, Yu Zhi immediately guessed his identity.
He should be the legendary patriarch and the biggest beneficiary of this lie.
Although all of this was fabricated by his ancestors, after being passed down from generation to generation, they never thought of overthrowing this feudal ideology, and even helped the evil and had no intention of repenting.
"Today, we will be here to welcome the return of God!"
While Yu Zhi was thinking, the clan leader had already walked onto the platform and began his speech.
Just like in the past, he mobilized everyone's enthusiasm with simple words. The audience was extremely lively and everyone cheered, breaking the silence.
[How scary!]
[Is there a strange MLM brainwashing scene?]
[Although the plot of this story is not scary, it makes people feel inexplicably depressed, alas]
[Yes, generations have lived in lies...]
The director was very satisfied. After all, the show had not been so smooth for a long time. Although there were still some unexpected events, it finally returned to his original idea.
After blowing on the tea leaves floating on the water in the cup, the director took a sip with satisfaction and sighed very comfortably.
Before he could completely swallow the mouthful of water filled with relief, he saw that the most dangerous player in his mind...she moved.
How could Yu Zhi allow others to openly brainwash others in front of her? Without thinking, she directly untied the ropes tied around her body and regained her freedom.
The patriarch had no eyes behind him, so naturally he couldn't see the situation clearly. He continued to recite his lines passionately: "As long as we have loyalty to the gods, then he... then he..."
It was as if someone poked his shoulder. After confirming that it was not an illusion, the patriarch turned his head and met the eyes of the little girl holding a branch in her hand.
Patriarch: ...
Do you dislike it so much?
Do I have to use a branch to poke it?!
If Yu Zhi could hear his inner voice, she would definitely make a wish.
Her hands were always busy, either holding a doll or holding something. Even when she was tied up just now, her hands involuntarily shifted to the pile of firewood at her feet, and then she pulled out the small branch.
The actor who plays the patriarch is an experienced one who has seen all kinds of scenes, so this is naturally not enough to be used as evidence.
He waved his hand and shouted, "Who is in charge of the Saint? Why don't you send her back? Who among you can afford the consequences of missing the ceremony?"
The guards standing guard below the stage hadn't made a move yet when they saw several people in strange costumes rushing straight towards them.
The fastest and most conspicuous one among them is the big red and green perianth.
Han Chuang thought clearly that since he had just joined the company, he naturally had to maintain a good relationship with the boss.
But his boss is a mysterious person, so what is the most important thing at this time?
Of course, it is to show off in front of the future boss lady!
The more clearly he thought, the faster he moved, and the previous difficulty in moving was completely gone.
Except for the time when he almost tripped while going up the stairs, the whole process was really cool.
Yu Zhi pointed the twig toward the tribe leader in front of her and said to all the tribe members in the audience in a louder voice, "He is lying to you. There is no god at all."
But the tribesmen didn't seem to be affected by this sentence at all. Instead, some of them began to show angry expressions towards the group of people on the stage who could be called outsiders.
The patriarch's face was filled with a triumphant smile. He moved closer and said in a voice only they could hear, "Do you really think they will believe you?"
Do you really think that they will give up the faith they have firmly upheld for generations just because of these few simple words?
Yu Zhi frowned, obviously thinking of this as well.
But now that things have progressed to this stage, there is no reason to give up.
Kou Qi and his companions chose to continue telling the story in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.
Thousands of years of story were condensed into these simple ten minutes, but fortunately, the tribesmen finally gave the response they wanted.
They began to panic, their voices gradually grew louder, and some even began to question the patriarch standing on the stage.
The patriarch suddenly burst into laughter. After everyone quieted down because of his madness, he said, "So what if it is, so what if it isn't?"
As soon as he finished speaking, more guards surrounded the tribesmen in an instant.
"Wow," Si Qing exclaimed softly, "The director team really invested a lot of money this time."
There were at least two or three hundred extras present, making it a movie-level scene.
Yu Zhi nodded quietly, expressing her deep agreement with this statement.
Unexpectedly, this was not the end yet. The guards surrounding on both sides spontaneously dispersed to the surroundings, leaving a passage in the middle for people to walk through.
A man appeared at the end of the passage. His clothes were out of tune with this tribe and even had some modern style.
The doubts of several people were immediately answered, because the man said to Han Chuang the next second: "Son, you don't even say hello to your father when you see him?"
