Chapter 340: : Zhaohua Festival

??? After chanting the message, the high priest bent his knees and fell to the ground.
The other orcs also knelt on their knees.
Suddenly, only four people, Slowly White Emperor Xue Ling and Xuan Wei, remained standing in the whole place.
Someone looked at them with some displeased eyes.
The four of them slowly had to kneel down as well, which made those people look away.
The high priest carefully dipped the black wood into the water, and then faced the sacred tree, leaning down respectfully, with his forehead resting on the grass.
"May the tree bless the city of Shenmu safe and peaceful, and life will never disappear!"
All the orcs shouted in unison: "May the sacred tree bless the sacred wood city!"
The four of them were slowly mixed in, feeling a little embarrassed.
Although Slowly has held sacrifices before, she has never asked others to kneel down, let alone shouting slogans like now.
But compared to her sacrifice, this sacrifice is obviously more like feudal superstition.
Just look at how much these orcs believe in the high priest.
Slowly laughed at herself, it seems that her means of propagating superstition is still too weak, and she will have to learn more from Bihuan in the future, and strive to be a better stick!
When the high priest stood up, the other beasts followed suit.
The high priest took the wood out of the water, carefully wrapped it with shark yarn, and handed it to his confidant to hold it.
The water in the basin was called holy water, and the high priest distributed it to everyone.
The orcs took out the wooden bowls they had prepared and consciously lined up to receive holy water.
The orcs who received the holy water were very excited. Some of them were rather anxious and drank the holy water in one gulp on the spot, while some were reluctant to drink it now, and took it back carefully, planning to gather and drink slowly.
Slowly in order to join in the fun, he also took a bowl to receive a bowl of holy water.
She leaned closer and sniffed, the water had no smell.
When no one was paying attention, he slowly lowered his voice and asked, "Is this water really drinkable?"
Xue Ling is not very sure: "This is the holy water that has been soaked in Shenmu. You should be able to drink it."
"Sacred wood?" Slowly startled, "You mean the dark wood just now?"
"Ok."
Slowly and very surprised: "Is the sacred tree black?"
"The sacred tree was originally not black, it turned black only after it was burned."
Slowly became more and more puzzled: "That sacred tree was burned by fire?"
Xue Ling explained patiently: "I don't know the specific process. I just heard that after the sacred tree withered, the sacred tree clan suffered a catastrophe. Even the dead tree left by the sacred tree failed to escape. Most of the dead tree. All were burned to ashes, and only a very small part of the dead wood remained."
Slowly listening, but not understanding: "So that's how it is."
In the end, she still couldn't drink the bowl of water. When people were not paying attention, she just stuffed the bowl of holy water into the space and took it out when it was useful.
After the sacrifice was completed, the orcs returned to the city and rushed in the other direction.
Slowly didn't understand what they were going to do, but just happened to ran into Xuehui. Only after inquiring did they realized that they were going to the palace to meet the Beastmaster.
Slowly knew for the first time that it turned out to be one of the customs of a festival to meet the Beastmaster.
Baidi knew a thing or two about this.
He said: "I heard that the Beast King of Shenmu City is not in good health, and rarely shows up in front of outsiders. Basically, his officials will take care of things in the city. Only on Zhaohua Festival during the year, the Beast King Will come forward and accept the worship of the subjects."
Slowly thought for a while: "How do you feel that the Beast King of Shenmu City is like a prophet. He is in poor health and doesn't like to go out."
Baidi asked: "Want to see what the Beastmaster looks like?"
"Of course I do!"
Xuan Wei didn't have much interest in watching the Beast King. He greeted Bai Di, and then went back to rest alone.
Slowly Baidi Xueling followed the crowd to the palace.
Due to the large number of people, the orcs could not enter the palace and could only gather in the square outside the palace.
Above the stairs, there is a throne.
When the guards blew the horn, the Beastmaster walked out of the palace, step by step to the center of everyone's sight.
Slowly seeing the face of the Beastmaster, he immediately froze in place.
Isn't this Chiba? He turned out to be the Beastmaster!
Chiba stepped on his short legs and climbed onto the throne to sit down, and the orcs knelt and saluted.
Only slowly still immersed in shock, did not react, opened his eyes and stared at Chiba blankly.
In the end, Xuehui pulled her a bit, and she came back to her senses and knelt down together with the Baidi Xueling and them.
This is the second time they kneel today.
Everyone shouted long live my king!
Chiba raised his hand in a crisp voice: "Get up."
The orcs stood up one after another, and slowly stood up, seeing Chiba's tender and cute face again, she still felt a trance like she was dreaming.
The Beastmaster of Shenmu City is a child? This is amazing too!
Even though Chiba is very small and immature in appearance, all the orcs in Shenmu City respect him, and their eyes are full of worship and admiration, as if they were paying homage to a great hero.
The attendant brought up a large bag of seeds, and the Beastmaster distributed the seeds to everyone.
The seed represents hope, and it is a symbol of blessing in Shenmu City.
The orcs consciously lined up again to receive seeds.
Slowly followed and picked up two seeds, a round seed, she had seen it in it before, and its name was Fen Dao Hua.
Because the color of this flower is very matte and tender, and its pollen has a certain aphrodisiac effect, it is also called agapanthus.
Today in Shenmu City, many pink damask flowers are blooming.
Slowly stuffed the seeds of the pink coriander flower into the space, planning to plant them again after returning to the rock mountain in the future.
This kind of flower might be useful for Sang Ye's inaction.
Xuehui came over and asked with a smile, "Did you just see the look of the Beastmaster?"
Speaking of this matter, I slowly felt incredible: "Chiba is only a child, and he can actually become the king of beasts. Isn't there any other grown-up orcs in the royal family of Shenmu City who can inherit the throne?"
Xuehui said very firmly: "There are many adult orcs in the royal family, but the only one who is qualified to sit on the throne is Chiba."
"But he is just a child."
"He just looks like a child, his actual age is older than me."
Slowly as if listening to some fantasy: "Are you kidding?"
"No, I'm telling you about this very seriously."
Slowly still think this is too absurd.
Xuehui looked at the Beastmaster who was sitting on the throne and distributed seeds in the distance, and sighed long.
"Chiba was originally a very tall and handsome male beast. He was cursed to protect Shenmucheng. His body became a ten-year-old boy and he would never grow up. He is a hero."
