Chapter 13 Falling into a Dream (for further reading)
On this day, I heard that the ray of divine sense came over the Lie Tribe.
Today happened to be the day when the Lie Tribe offered sacrifices to the gods once a year.
The people of the Lie Tribe began to prepare for the sacrificial ceremony early in the morning. Thousands of people gathered in the center of the tribe to wait for the sacrificial ceremony to begin.
There is a sacrificial square covering an area of more than 1,000 square meters, and a simple pyramid-shaped altar more than ten meters high made of rocks.
On the steps of the altar, there are stone pillars carved with flame-like totems and textures on the surface.
And on the highest level of the altar, there is a huge stone pit, and firewood is added to it all the year round, so that a raging flame that will never go out can be ignited in it.
That was the first flame of Tianyuan Star, representing human civilization, and also the totem and belief of the Lie tribe for tens of thousands of years!
Around the square, there are warriors holding bronze weapons to maintain order and ensure the smooth progress of the sacrifice.
As for the more important rock altar, it is guarded by several warriors and quasi-martialists. It can be said that even if it is invaded by fierce beasts, it can resist it for a period of time!
Hearing the divine thoughts, overlooking the entire Lie tribe, he saw the sacrificial ceremony officially begin.
"Woo! Woo! Woo!!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"
Below the temple, a huge horn sounded, and the animal skin drum was beaten, announcing the beginning of the Lie Tribe's annual ritual of offering sacrifices to the gods.
Under the awe-inspiring eyes of the residents of the Lie tribe, a high priest of the Lie tribe, whose face was painted with various plant pigments, wearing animal skins and various bone ornaments, walked slowly up to the highest level of the rock altar.
"The ritual of worship begins!"
A young priest below shouted in Tianyuan language, and the high priest of the Lie Tribe activated the organ.
Immediately, the flame of the giant bonfire on the top of the altar was led down the altar along the flammable materials on the special passage, lighting piles of bonfires around the altar.
The raging fire swept the surrounding area with high temperature, turning everyone's faces red.

The most powerful warrior of the Lie tribe, the patriarch 'Lie Rong' dragged a seriously injured beast out of the prison and beheaded it in front of the totem.
In addition, under the altar, there were dozens of large beasts such as tigers and bears as sacrifices, whose heads were beheaded by the warriors of the Lie tribe, and hot blood was poured into a three-legged bronze tripod to worship the gods.
More than a dozen primitive people wearing bronze ghost masks danced a wild and primitive sacrificial dance beside the bonfire under the altar, playing rough sounds with musical instruments made of bones!
The old high priest presided over the process of worshiping the gods according to the conventions and regulations, praising the great fire god, bringing fire and warmth to the tribe, and praying that he would continue to protect the Lie tribe in the new year with good weather and no evil beasts.
Wen Dao watched the sacrificial process in this primitive society with great interest.
For a history lover and collector of cultural relics like him, it is a great satisfaction to see the sacrificial ceremony in the primitive period with his own eyes.
The flames illuminated the sky and the ground, and the billowing heat wave distorted the air in the square. The people present were sweating profusely, but it didn't affect their enthusiasm at all.
The young 'Min (min) Yan' looked at the high priest and patriarch on the altar, especially the patriarch Lie Rong with extremely hot eyes.
"I also want to become a powerful warrior like the patriarch, able to fight against fierce beasts and protect the clan!"
But Min Yan looked at his skinny body, his eyes couldn't help dimming.
When Min Yan was in the womb, a ferocious beast broke into the tribe, which frightened Min Yan's mother, and her stomach moved, causing Min Yan to give birth prematurely, so Min Yan's physical condition has always been poor.
It is also due to the fact that Minyan's grandfather is a witch doctor of the Lie tribe, who knows some simple medical skills, and the tribe's products are relatively rich, which can support more people.
This allowed Min Yan to grow up safely.
However, Min Yan, who had a poor physique, obviously did not have the qualifications to become a warrior. He simply couldn't bear the scour of the blood of the fierce beast.

In the blink of an eye, an hour or two passed, and the sacrificial ceremony came to an end, and the members of the Lie tribe began to return to their respective posts one after another to start their day's work.
Although Min Yan is only seven or eight years old, he still has work to do.
In primitive society, no tribe is willing to raise a waste.
What Minyan has to do is to learn from the tribe's witch doctor, that is, his grandfather, to gather and pound medicine, and heal the injured and poisoned tribesmen.
If nothing else happens, Min Yan will also become the new witch doctor of the Lie Tribe in the future.
But he caught Wen Dao's attention.
After the ceremony was over, I heard that the spiritual thoughts enveloped the entire Lie tribe. After carefully observing the crowd, I finally chose this frail child.
Due to his frail body, Min Yan is unable to do the same intense exercise as children of the same age, but he is good at using his brain, has a quick mind, and is extremely intelligent.
Facing the unknown, he is always full of curiosity and exploration, and has a strong understanding.
Such a person just meets Wen Dao's requirements.
"You want to become a warrior." Wen Dao appeared above Min Yan, watching the child silently.
"In that case, then I will do as you wish."
…
At night, the earth ushered in boundless darkness.
In a primitive society with no nightlife, except for the necessary night watchmen, most other adult primitive people can only carry out the sports of multiplying races.
But for Min Yan, a child, he fell asleep early.
hum!
Min Yan, who was lying on the straw bed, trembled in consciousness, and then he found that he suddenly came to a height of ten thousand feet, standing on a sea of clouds, and the endless clouds were churning and turbulent.
The clouds he stepped on were as thick and hard as the earth, not as soft as he imagined. When he stepped on them, Min Yan's body showed no downward trend at all.
In front of Min Yan, there is a towering and majestic snow-capped mountain. Just breaking out of the sea of clouds, the top of the mountain covered with white snow is more than a thousand feet high, and the peaks under the sea of clouds are even more so.
In the distance, a full moon the size of a house hangs in the sky, shining white moonlight on the sea of clouds and snow-capped mountains, making the whole world look radiant and sacred, like a fairyland.
Seeing such a scene, Min Yan immediately stood there in a daze.
"Is this the residence of the gods? It's so beautiful!"
"I appear here, is it because the gods want to issue an oracle to me?"
Min Yan's eyes became fanatical and pious, he seemed to feel a voice in the dark calling him constantly, calling him to climb the snow mountain.
During the day, their Lie Tribe had just finished their annual sacrificial ceremony, and at night Min Yan had such a perfect and clear dream, it was hard not to make him think in the direction of the gods.
"The palace where the gods live must be on the snow mountain."
With a pilgrimage in mind, Min Yan set out for the snow mountain.
As soon as Minyan moved, gusts of wind began to blow in the sea of clouds in an instant, and the billowing clouds and mist came like waves, and the waves were rough.
Although the mist formed by water vapor was ethereal, it contained a lot of resistance. Coupled with the strong wind, Min Yan's body seemed to be trapped in mud and sand, and every step forward was extremely difficult.
But none of this can stop Min Yan from making a pilgrimage.
