After reciting the blessings, the high priest bent his knees and knelt on the ground
The other beasts knelt on the ground as well
In an instant, only Huanhuan, Bai Di, Xue Ling, and Xuan Wei were still standing
Some people looked at them with displeasure
Huanhuan and the others could only kneel down as well Only then did those people look away
!!
The high priest carefully dipped the black wood into the water, then faced the divine tree He leaned down respectfully and pressed his forehead to the grass
“May the divine tree bless the Divine Wood City with peace and prosperity May life never disappear!”
All the beasts shouted in unison, “May the divine tree bless the Divine Wood City!”
Huanhuan and the other three felt a little eh Huanhuan had held sacrificial ceremonies before, she had never asked anyone to kneel, let alone shout slogans like this
However, compared to her sacrificial ceremony, this one was clearly more like feudal superstition
Just look at how h priest
Huanhuan laughed at herself It see superstitions were still too weak She had to learn more from Bi Huan in the future and strive to be an even better charlatan!
When the high priest stood up, the other beasts followed
The high priest took the wood out of the water and carefully wrapped it in shark silk He handed it to his confidant to hold
The water in the basin was called holy water, and the high priest distributed it to everyone spoon by spoon
The beasts took out the wooden bowls they had prepared and lined up to receive the holy water
The beasts who received the holy water were very excited Some of them were ulp Soht it back, planning to drink it slowly
Huanhuan went to get a bowl of holy water to join in the fun
She leaned closer and sniffed The water didn’t s, Huanhuan lowered her voice and asked, “Is this water really drinkable?”
Xue Ling was not very sure “This is holy water that the Divine Wood has soaked in It should be drinkable”
“Divine Wood?” Huanhuan was stunned “You mean that dark piece of wood from earlier?”
“Mmhm”
Huanhuan was very surprised “So, the Divine Wood is black?”
“The Divine Wood wasn’t black to begin with It only turned black after it was burned”
Huanhuan was even more puzzled “That piece of divine as burned?”
Xue Ling explained patiently, “I don’t know the exact situation I only heard that after the Divine Wood withered, the Divine Wood clan suffered a huge calamity Even the dead wood left behind by the Divine Wood was unable to escape the calamity Most of the dead as burned to ashes, and only a small portion of it was preserved”
Huanhuan seemed to understand “I see”
In the end, she still couldn’t bring herself to drink the bowl of water When no one was looking, she casually stuffed the bowl of holy water into her space She would take it out when she needed it in the future
After the sacrificial ceremony, the beasts returned to the city and swarmed in another direction
Huanhuan did not understand what they were going to do She happened to bump into Xue Hui and asked about it She then realized that they were going to the palace to visit the beast king
Huanhuan then learned that visiting the beast king was one of the customs of the festival
Bai Di knew a little about this
