One person: Reborn as Huangxian, seeking the title of Feng Baobao at the beginning
Chapter 449 Ancient Ritual
The questions raised by Huang Miao made Feng Baobao's face flash with solemnity.
There is no doubt that these are the questions that she has always been concerned about but has no answers to.
Seeing Feng Baobao's expression, Huang Miao understood:
"When this is over, go to the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau and I will give you the answer..."
"Da da da……"
Just then, the helicopter that Bai Hua was on finally arrived.
Feng Baobao remained silent, just staring at Huang Miao's back, not knowing what she was thinking about.
The helicopter slowly landed on the tarmac, and Bai Hua and the pilot got off the plane one after another.
After seeing Huang Miao, the driver's eyes widened immediately:
"Director Huang... you actually arrived first..."
Huang Miao smiled and patted his shoulder:
"You've worked hard, go and have a rest..."
When the astonished driver was taken to rest by the soldiers, everyone could still vaguely hear his puzzled question:
"Have you ever seen a white crane, all white with horns on its head?"
Huang Miao didn't care about this, but turned to ask the team members:
"Are all the preparations complete?"
Zhang Lingyu nodded, looked at Huang Miao and replied:
“Director Huang, we have set up a Feng Shui layout on the islands in the five surrounding directions with this ship as the center.
The entire Tianqian Bureau has been basically set up, and we are just waiting for you, Director Huang, to activate it."
Huang Miao checked his watch, looked up at the setting sun, and shook his head slightly:
"The time has not yet arrived, but the favorable location and people are in place, only the right time is lacking.
Wait a little longer..."
Huang Miao said this not only to the team members, but also to Jiang Zhong and Zhao Keqing.
The two looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what Huang Miao was waiting for.
But Huang Miao did not give them a chance to ask again, but turned and walked in front of the team members:
“When the time comes, we will begin the ceremony to activate the Natural Divide Bureau on this ship.
Go get the bag from the helicopter that contains the things you need for the ceremony."
The fat man responded quickly and quickly lifted a large black bag from the helicopter.
From the fat man’s expression, you can tell that the package is quite heavy and contains a lot of things.
The group followed Huang Miao to the deck, where he finally opened the black bag that aroused everyone's curiosity.
Huang Miao quickly took out an ugly and terrifying mask from his bag.
This mask has a black face and fangs, and many deliberately made wrinkles on it.
Looks like some kind of terrifying animal.
"Director Huang, what is this?"
Wang Cheng couldn't help but ask Huang Miao out of curiosity, and Huang Miao held the mask carefully as if it were a treasure.
Huang Miao was seen holding the mask in both hands and placing it in a higher position in the east.
Then he picked up a piece of red cloth and covered the mask.
After doing all this, Huang Miao looked at Wang Cheng and explained:
“To activate the entire Tianqian Bureau, an extremely huge force is required.
This kind of power is difficult to achieve through numerology alone and must be assisted by ancient rituals.
First, we need to activate the small bureaus on the five islands, and then use the place where the three dragons gather to gather all the forces to form a natural barrier.
The consumption of this kind of power is far beyond your imagination, so there is no other way except to resort to ancient rituals."
As he spoke, Huang Miao took out a few more sets of equally strange clothes from his bag.
These clothes have wide sleeves and are made of gorgeous brocade.
There are some very bright colors on it, and it is also equipped with a pure yellow silk.
The team members were very curious about this and asked Huang Miao about it.
In response to the team members' questions, Huang Miao spoke word by word:
"You will soon know what the Eastern Region Grand Festival is..."
Hearing this, the team members showed confused expressions on their faces. They were very unfamiliar with the term "Eastern Region Grand Festival" and had almost never heard of it.
At this time, Huang Miao gently picked up the strange mask and explained to the team members:
"The East Region Festival is an extremely ancient ritual, mainly practiced in some families along the coast of the East Region. Whenever an important festival comes, people will hold a grand ceremony to worship the East Region that nourishes them. This ceremony is called the East Region Festival.
However, due to the long time ago, the exact time when the Eastern Region Festival was lost is no longer traceable. Although this kind of ceremony is rarely seen nowadays, we can still see the shadow of the Eastern Region Festival in other ceremonies in coastal areas.
The uniqueness of the East Region Festival is that it does not require the use of fire like other rituals. During the ceremony, all participating priests will face the East Region and complete the ritual of the sea sacrifice. "
Huang Miao's explanation gave the team members a preliminary understanding of the East Region Festival.
But Wang Ye soon frowned and asked doubtfully:
"Director Huang, I don't quite understand. Can this kind of folk ritual really activate the power of the Tianqian Bureau? I mean, this ritual looks like just a sacrificial culture. The Tianqian Bureau is such a huge Feng Shui Bureau that even the combined power of all of us cannot drive it. Can this kind of folk ritual really achieve it?" Huang Miao was not surprised by Wang Ye's question. Instead, he looked at him with appreciation:
“That’s a very good question. To answer it, you must first understand where these folk rituals come from. Rituals originated from ancient witchcraft, so ancient rituals are often more consistent with witchcraft and can even produce more subtle effects.
Later, with the development of the times, many people integrated opera culture into folk rituals. It can be said that opera culture also derived from folk rituals.
Tokyo is an ancient country that attaches great importance to rituals. Rituals that have no practical effect have long disappeared in the changes of the times. The ancients did not regard rituals as a mere formality like we do.
The reason why the large-scale ceremony of the East Region Festival was lost is that many people who performed the ceremony found that it had no practical sacrificial function. In fact, the East Region Festival itself was not used for sacrifice, but a witchcraft ritual.
Many witchcrafts need to be activated through witchcraft rituals, and the East Region Festival is one of such witchcraft rituals. However, what we are going to use the witchcraft ritual to activate this time is not witchcraft, but Feng Shui Tianqian Bureau. "
The team members looked at each other and finally understood the truth of the East Region Festival. They all nodded in understanding.
Huang Miao pointed to several sets of clothes neatly arranged nearby and said:
"All participants in the ceremony must wear the same attire. This wide-sleeved robe is a combination of traditional clothing and wizard clothing. Then they follow the priest, who wears a black dragon mask, to complete the entire ceremony.
Since the Dongyu Festival itself is neither yin nor yang, some unexpected things are likely to happen during the ceremony. Ancient documents have recorded that during the Dongyu Festival, a village saw a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate and turning into a dragon. There are also documents that mention that the Dongyu Festival attracted demons and ghosts, resulting in no one surviving in the entire village.
Therefore, once the ceremony begins, everyone must take every step seriously. Anything that happens during this period must be turned a blind eye and a deaf ear. "
Huang Miao's reminder made the team members take it more seriously, but at the same time they were full of doubts.
"Director Huang, since the Eastern Region Festival is so dangerous, why do we have to use this method to activate the Natural Chasm Bureau? There are thousands of Eastern Daoist magic, so we don't have to use such a weird and unpredictable witchcraft, right?"
Although the fat man was usually impatient, his wisdom was not inferior to others, otherwise Huang Miao would not have let him be the head of the department. The question raised by the fat man at this time was very critical in Huang Miao's view.
"The fat man is right. There are thousands of Eastern Taoist magics, and there is always a way to replace this kind of witchcraft. But look around you. Outside the ship is the vast ocean.
Taoist magic requires very rigorous steps, whether it is offering sacrifices to the gods or protecting the law, some items are needed to assist. The steps are complicated, especially the Taoist magic used to activate such a large-scale feng shui bureau, which is even more difficult.
The most important thing is that your current cultivation is not enough to drive this kind of Taoist magic. Therefore, the East Region Festival is the most suitable ceremony at present. The reason why it attracts various strange phenomena is that this method is indeed profound.
As long as you can remain stable and undisturbed during the ceremony, this ceremony will not be too dangerous for you..."
At this point, Huang Miao turned around and looked at Jiang Zhong who was standing beside him and listening attentively:
"Commander Jiang, you just heard what I said. So during the ceremony, please stay inside the ship with all the soldiers and don't come to the deck. No matter what happens, don't act rashly until the ceremony is over."
In Jiang Zhong's eyes, Huang Miao was already a master. So he nodded and agreed without hesitation:
"Don't worry, Director Huang, we will definitely not cause you any trouble."
After getting Jiang Zhong's response, Huang Miao finally felt relieved. He asked the team members to change their clothes, and he also picked up a set of black robes and dragon head mask to prepare.
But at this moment, Huang Miao suddenly thought of something and turned back to look at Zhang Qilin:
"Hey bro, there's another set of clothes in that bag, go put it on. There's also a mask inside, and only you can wear it."
Zhang Qilin nodded, walked to the black bag and took out the clothes. This set of clothes was very similar to Huang Miao's, but it had some rough stripes on the outside. The mask was even more special, it looked neither god nor beast, with a green face and fangs, like a hell Asura.
Then, Huang Miao walked up to Zhang Qilin and whispered a few words to him. Zhang Qilin's expression gradually changed from calm to solemn.
"How is it, young man, is everything okay?" Huang Miao asked finally.
Zhang Qilin thought for a moment and nodded, then said word by word:
"Do not worry……"
After getting Zhang Qilin's affirmation, Huang Miao patted him on the shoulder and went to make preparations.
Soon, all the team members changed into wide-sleeved robes and hung Huang Ling around their necks. At the same time, according to Huang Miao's instructions, the team members used cinnabar to put red eye shadow on the corners of their eyes.
At this moment, the team members look both good and evil, giving people an indescribable feeling.
Soon, Huang Miao also came over in a black robe, exuding a mysterious aura that was hard to fathom.
Looking at the team members, Huang Miao slowly spoke: "There are no musical instruments on the ship, so we have to use local materials. Wooden boxes can be used as drums, and iron instruments can replace gongs. As for the suona, it is the most convenient to carry. It is in that black bag. Does anyone know how to play it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fat man immediately raised his hand and volunteered: "Director Huang, I'm a good suona player!"
Wang Ye, who was standing next to him, looked at the fat man in surprise and said, "You really know how to do this?"
The fat man smiled proudly: "Of course, this is our basic skill, professional..."
Wang Ye didn't know that the "basic skills" that Fatty mentioned were actually related to tomb robbing. When Fatty first started, he couldn't find the big tombs of kings, princes, generals and ministers right away, so he had to start from small tombs. Sometimes, in order to determine the location of the tomb, he had to act as a funeral procession, and that's how Fatty learned to play the suona.
The fat man quickly took out the suona from the black bag, but as soon as he took it out, he found that the suona was a little unusual. There was a talisman tied to the suona with a red string, and two ancient characters could be vaguely seen on the talisman, which looked like the words "Fu Mo".
Under Huang Miao's command, the team members took their positions on the deck. Wang Ye had a wooden box in front of him, which served as a drum, while Wu Tianzhen held an iron implement, which served as a golden gong.
For the next half hour, Huang Miao continued to discuss the details of the ceremony with his team members, because this East Region Festival required close cooperation from everyone.
Zhang Qilin was the only exception. He also wore a mysterious black robe, but it had some strange, rough patterns on it. The mask he wore was also undecorated, with a green face and fangs, which was intimidating.
Zhang Qilin had been standing quietly beside Huang Miao, not saying a word, like a statue of an evil god. He did not seem to be directly involved in the ceremony, but he seemed to be a crucial part of the ceremony.
Jiang Zhong watched everyone busying themselves with curiosity. He was full of curiosity about the upcoming East Region Festival and wanted to know what it was all about.
Half an hour later, Huang Miao finished discussing with the team members and immediately looked at Jiang Zhong: "Commander Jiang, please go back. Unless you can no longer hear any sound, do not come up to disturb the ceremony."
Huang Miao's expression was very serious, and Jiang Zhong did not dare to take it lightly. He nodded quickly, then turned and entered the command cabin.
At this time, Zhao Keqing had just finished talking to all the soldiers who had witnessed the incident. He was about to go out when he saw Jiang Zhong coming back.
"Commander, how is it? What's the situation up there?" Zhao Keqing asked.
Jiang Zhong sighed solemnly, "They seem to be performing a ritual called the Eastern Region Festival. Director Huang specifically instructed that no one be allowed on deck, so we can only wait here."
"Eastern Region Festival?" Zhao Keqing had obviously never heard of it, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.
Jiang Zhong sat aside in silence, recalling everything he had just seen with a serious expression.
"Old Zhao, I'm a little confused now. I'm even wondering if we are dreaming. Director Huang came here riding on a crane. No one would believe this if you told them. But it really happened right in front of us. What do you think?" Jiang Zhong asked.
Zhao Keqing was silent for a while before he spoke: "Old Jiang, maybe we shouldn't delve too deeply into this matter. Dongda has a history of 5,000 years. How can we understand its secrets in just a hundred years? (End of this chapter)
