Chapter 303 Mountain God Festival
Chapter 310 Mountain God Sacrifice
"The festival begins! Everyone will be there!"
In a mountain village isolated from the world, there seemed to be some grand celebration. The air that was not polluted by urban industry was filled with joy. Every simple farmer who relied on the sky was filled with joy on his face. They gathered on a naturally formed dirt platform. A fat man in a suit, like a village secretary, stood on the platform. The naturally formed dirt platform arched him high, allowing him to look down at the people below the stage. The expression of joy also appeared on their faces. Even without any equipment such as loudspeakers, his voice was still loud enough that everyone could hear it clearly.
"Everyone knows that our Shishan Village is located in a remote area, surrounded by large valleys and valleys, and there is no land for farming. Fortunately, our ancestors taught us how to hunt, so we can go up the mountain to hunt prey. This is how we are, in order to maintain the livelihood of our village for hundreds of years!
However, we cannot ask for it without giving it back. Our Shishan Village relies on the gifts of the mountain god. Without the protection of the mountain god, you will not survive in our village. Without the gifts of the mountain god, there will be no mountains on which we rely for survival. The mountain god is our protector! According to the ancient rules of our village, a mountain god sacrifice must be held every seven years. Each family must pay money and grain to pay tribute to the great achievements of the mountain god, and pray for a bumper harvest in the next seven years. Each family can survive smoothly. This year, it is the 40th mountain god sacrifice!"
Due to the closure of mountains on all sides, Shishan Village is almost isolated from the world, power transmission cannot be transmitted, network cannot be built, various high-tech technologies cannot come to this village, and transportation is extremely difficult. Under the obstruction of mountains, even the most advanced off-road vehicles may accidentally overturn. A few years ago, the country also hoped to develop Shishan Village to increase its economy, but the difficulties of such things far exceeded those politicians' imagination. In the end, nothing changed except a few high-spirited slogans. Over time, this place was forgotten, and the map did not record the village. Young people never came back after leaving, and this place became a deserted village with only some middle-aged and elderly people.
"Welcome the mountain god!"
There was a sculpture of two people wrapped in red cloth in the middle of the platform. The two seemed to be the most respected 90-year-old men in the village. They walked up, knelt on the ground tremblingly, and kowtowed step by step, slowly crawling towards the stone statue that had a history of unknown how many years. The rest of the villagers below also knelt down with devout expressions, as if they were welcoming the gods.
"Wow"
Two 90-year-old men slowly climbed to the side of the stone statue, their eyes were pious, and their palms were trembling constantly because of their excitement. In everyone's awe-inspiring eyes, the red cloth was directly lifted up, revealing the strange stone statue. I don't know how many years this stone statue has gone through. The wind and rain have left countless traces on the solid stone statue. Only this face is still vaguely visible. It is an extremely ferocious face, as scary as the evil ghosts in hell, but in the eyes of these villagers, it is so sacred and solemn!
"Kneel down to worship the Lord of the Mountain God! May the Lord of the Mountain God protect my village chief for prosperity!"
The man in the suit also slowly walked down the platform, and knelt down piously like the villagers, and slowly knelt down to the strange stone statue!
"May Lord Shan God bless you!"
There were about 200 people. At first glance, they were covered with heads. Everyone knelt on the ground and murmured devoutly. The scene was spectacular!
"Long live the Lord Mountain God!"
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
With the order of the man in the suit, five or six strong men who seemed to be in their fifties carried out several boxes of firecrackers. Everyone stood up and covered their ears and retreated. Suddenly, firelights suddenly popped up everywhere on the platform, and the crackling sound of firecrackers sounded. Even though the choking smoke filled the fire, everyone's face was still filled with joy, as if they saw the prosperity and prosperity of the future village.
"Next, in order to ask the mountain god to protect our village forever, we will offer our sacrifices to you! Sacrifice to the mountain god!"
"Salute to the mountain god! Sacrifice to the mountain god"
"Salute to the mountain god! Sacrifice to the mountain god!"
"Salute to the mountain god! Sacrifice to the mountain god!"
The celebration seemed to have reached a climax. Everyone raised their hands and cheered desperately. Then, a group of young men in colorful clothes walked over, carrying a huge wooden box in their hands, which seemed to contain something, but it was obviously not a dead thing, because the "thing" inside was constantly struggling and trying to escape, but they were just powerless.
"The mountain god sacrifice is a small sacrifice every seven years. After seven years, for the high sacrifice, we will offer sacrifices to the mountain god to seek blessings from the mountain god!"
"Bless by Lord Shan God!"
The huge wooden box was opened, and it was filled with sacrifices offered by the village every seven or seven years. However, the sacrifices inside were not sacrifices such as pigs, sheep and cattle in ordinary sacrificial festivals, but a living boy who was stripped naked and left only a little clothing to cover his shame!
"The sacrifice of Lord Shan God has been presented. After noon, he will take his heart and liver, and each family will offer half a bowl of blood to pray for Lord Shan God's blessing!"
"Bless by Lord Shan God!"
"Bless by Lord Shan God!"
"Bless by Lord Shan God!"
Sometimes, closure and retro do not make people simple and kind, but only nurture ignorance and cruelty!
The so-called mountain god sacrifice is to pray for the blessing of the empty mountain god at the cost of a person's life!
"Tsk, what the hell are they? The cult brainwashing base?"
In the distance, above a big tree, Bai Sha held his telescope and looked at everything that happened on the high platform in the distance. He suddenly said, and couldn't help but complain:
"Are you mistaken? This has been liberated for many years. There are such strange rituals in this place. It's really a ghost. There are all kinds of birds in the forest. They can even believe it. No wonder these guys have always lived a life of no human or ghost."
Perhaps, it is precisely because they have always believed in this illusory mountain god and prayed for the blessing of the mountain god that they have always lived in this suffering that can only rely on the alms of heaven!
"It's already noon. Each family prepares bowls, divides their blood, and then offers their hearts and livers to sacrifice to the mountain god!"
The man in the suit shouted loudly, and then two strong young men walked out, holding a sharp sword in their hands. The others pulled out the boy in the box and tied it to the largest tree. The two strong men with the knife pointed at the boy in the tied stripped clothes. Without even blinking his eyes, they waved the knife and chopped it down!
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's true, you really dare to do it. I thought you were all doing it, but it turned out to be true!"
"What! Who are you!"
"I'm here to stop you from killing him!"
