I am a fairy

Chapter 26: The inheritance of witches and Nuo dance

Dusk is approaching.

The huge team began to climb the mountain, carrying the divine chariot with fluttering white curtains.

Many people at the foot of the mountain and on the roadside looked towards the divine chariot, wanting to catch a glimpse of the divine wizard's appearance, while even more people wanted to look but did not dare to.

In this place where witchcraft is prevalent, the divine witch is the closest thing to a god that mortals can come into contact with.

Unfortunately, all people can see is a vague, elusive outline, mysterious and awe-inspiring.

"Woohoo~"

Accompanied by the uniform and powerful sound of horns, the divine chariot moved towards the bamboo forest little by little.

The Taoists of Yunzhen Dao humbly, or rather, behaved in an unusually confident and nonchalant manner, allowed the mountain shaman to go first to the cloud wall to welcome the gods. However, as a requirement or witness, the Yin Yang, Ao, and He Daos also had to be present to watch the shamans' ceremony of welcoming the gods.

Of course the witches disagreed, but at this moment the critical moment of building the cloud wall and welcoming the gods was right in front of them, and nothing was more important than welcoming the gods down.

Seeing that it was getting dark, the witches were unwilling to conflict with Yun Zhendao in this place. They were also extremely wary and felt a little terrified. In the end, the witches just acquiesced.

"end!"

One by one, figures knelt down outside the bamboo forest.

Only the witches wearing white linen clothes and colorful masks symbolizing the spirits of mountains and rivers, carrying the divine chariot, continued to move forward step by step, gradually disappearing on the stone path in the bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest seemed to be a boundary, and only witches who could communicate between the worlds of gods and humans could enter.

Also staying there at the moment are Jia Gui, who had seen the gods before, and three Taoists who claim to also worship the gods.

In the bamboo forest.

The shaman finally stepped down from the chariot and began to bathe and change clothes under the service of the shaman maiden. There were orchids in the wooden barrel, and the clothes held up by the shaman maiden were like clouds.

With her arms spread out, the witch changed his clothes and put a white mask with cloud patterns and divine spells on the witch's head.

There are ancient jade pendants pierced in both ears, the left one is the sun and the right one is the moon.

The divine shaman returned to the divine chariot, but this time he was standing. The strong mountain people struggled to lift the chariot high up, and the surrounding priestesses raised long banners with cloud patterns, as if the divine chariot was really floating in the clouds, and the divine shaman was transforming into the Lord of the Clouds and walking on the clouds.

Finally, everyone left the bamboo forest and finally arrived in front of the cloud wall.

At this time, the shaman had already made preparations here. A group of shamans were kneeling on both sides, and the blind musicians holding musical instruments and leather drums were ready.

As the divine chariot gradually approached, the time had just arrived.

now.

The setting sun penetrates the dusk, and the clouds drift past the emerging moon.

"Fire!"

The witch shouted, and the bonfire that had been set up long ago was lit instantly.

The light illuminated the shadows of everyone around it, and also cast their shadows behind them, stretching them into the darkness.

All of a sudden.

The shadow of each witch appears tall and deep, connected to the unfathomable dark realm of nothingness.

It was as if, at this moment, they were also connected with the invisible god.

Shamans wearing white linen clothes and masks of the Lord of Mountains and Rivers sat on both sides of the cloud wall. Seeing the divine chariot gradually approaching, the shamans held up various offerings and silently recited ancient languages.

They represented the spirits of the mountains and rivers on this land, praising the gods who came from the clouds and the Lord of the Clouds who descended from the sky, and presented their gifts.

The priest stood in front of the bonfire and took a step forward.

This was like a signal, setting all the blind artists in motion, and the vast and solemn song to welcome the gods began to play.

The priest wearing a grass crown stood in front of the cloud wall. He suddenly knelt on the ground, raised his hands high and slapped them on the ground, singing in an ancient tone.

"Bathe in orchid water and enjoy the fragrance, and dress in gorgeous clothes like a hero."

"The spirit is curled up and stays, the bright light is endless."

From the moment you finish reciting this sentence, it means the true beginning of welcoming the gods.

At this moment.

As the welcoming song began, the witch standing on the divine chariot also began to dance.

The shaman has short, loose hair, and her clothes are like smoke and clouds, while the banners held by the surrounding shamans are like clouds. Her figure is youthful and energetic, but her messy short hair that accompanies her dance moves has a hint of primitive wildness.

Just when the ceremony had already begun but not yet fully unfolded, strange noises occurred.

"Buzz!"

The sound was very light, but very clear, like a wave that penetrated everyone's body, making people stop unconsciously and look for the source of the sound. But as everyone looked in the direction of the sound, they found that the sound actually came from the cloud wall.

Unlike all the welcoming ceremonies that had been held before, this time there really was some kind of power beyond their understanding that had arrived.

Just as everyone was looking at the cloud wall in shock, the buzzing sound became louder.

"Om~"

"Keng!"

A blazing light engulfed them.
-
Jia Gui stood at the edge of the shadow. It was the first time he saw the ancient sacrificial rituals and the witch's Nuo dance in Chu. He was shocked by the atmosphere of the ceremony and realized that this was a land that once belonged to the witch.

The old Taoist had a solemn expression on his face, staring at the shaman, as if he wanted to see whether the gods would descend upon the shaman.

"Buzz!"

But at this time, movement came from above the cloud wall. When they looked into the cloud wall in confusion and shock, a blazing light suddenly burst out, instantly dyeing their eyes silver-white.

Everyone's eyes were blinded in an instant, but they didn't dare to look anymore.

They all understand.

That is the light of the gods coming to earth.

Everyone prostrated themselves on the ground and kowtowed in unison.

Not only that, even the people at the foot of the mountain noticed the movement on the mountain. They saw a beam of light shooting out from halfway up the mountain, slanting towards the sea of ​​clouds in the sky, and interweaving with the moonlight.

"what?"

The sound waves came out at the same time, gathering together and echoing at the foot of the mountain.

The farmers stood on the ridges of the fields, shouting, "What's going on?"

The scholars under the tree stood up and said, "Look, there is light on the mountain."

Even though they couldn't see what was happening halfway up the mountain, the pillar-like light allowed everyone to guess what was happening, or in other words, this was the only answer at the moment.

"Divine light, this must be divine light, it must be the Great God in the Clouds descending to the mortal world."

"Oh my god, the gods really came down."

Some people ran around trying to get a closer look at what was happening on the mountain, some knelt down with their hands clasped together and kept chanting something, and many people stared at the scene in amazement for a long time without coming to their senses, with their minds blank.

At this moment, the people in front of the cloud wall at the foot of the mountain were in the same situation.

They were shocked, terrified, and at a loss. They had never encountered such a situation before and didn't even know how to deal with it. They could only kneel there and tremble.

After a long time.

Someone raised his head slightly and looked cautiously at the cloud wall with his peripheral vision.

Xihe County Magistrate Jia Gui was dazzled by the blazing light and everything he saw seemed to overlap, but he vaguely saw the outline of a person appear in the cloud wall, and a huge shadow was cast down, covering the entire foothills like a giant spirit.

But as the figure floated over, the originally incomparably tall figure gradually became smaller.

At first glance.

It was as if the figure walked down from the clouds, came out from the endless light, and finally merged into the cloud wall.

Jia Gui's body trembled and he shook his head violently.

Open your eyes and look again.

In the translucent cloud wall, a shadow that is close to the human world but also detached from the world outside is reflected in the stone. Only the shadow can be seen but not the person, as if the person is walking between the world of gods and humans.

The figure stood there motionless, as if looking at the human scenes and various living beings outside through the wall of clouds.

"Lord Yunzhong."

Jia Gui knew who that was, but that figure no longer looked like a mortal, but rather like a god with endless light.

At this moment, he couldn't help but recite the next sentence.

"Jian Jiang is in the palace of longevity, shining as brightly as the sun and the moon."

Because at this moment he really saw it.

Welcoming the gods to the mortal world, the gods descended into the Shou Palace, emitting a brilliant light like the sun and the moon.

The Yin-Yang Taoist priest standing by also saw "Yun Zhongjun" for the first time. He was even more excited and his face turned red.

because.

He finally saw the immortal "god" he had been longing for.
