Xie Tian didn't like the change in Hou Xi.
In his opinion, the little bug didn't belong in the Shaman Continent.
But now, he had become friends with a shaman tribe. This feeling was like witnessing a spy infiltrating the shaman tribe. It was as uncomfortable as eating a fly.
What he couldn't accept was that …
"Even if the Shi tribe is too weak and has to rely on ancestor worship to rope in body cultivators, there is no need to rope him in, right?"
Ancestor worship was one of the most sacred rituals of the shaman tribe.
The Shi tribe was weak. It was understandable for them to rely on ancestor worship to rope in seven skilled body cultivators. But what about Xie Tian?
He could worship the ancestors just by taking out some wine?
The ancestors of the Shi tribe were really easy to beat …
"Why did he bring so much wine?"
He complained angrily again. Then, he glanced at the old priest whose head was full of feathers and snorted.
The only person who could make Xie Tian worship the ancestors was the most powerful shaman in the tribe.
The shaman was the smartest person in the tribe.
So Hou Xi couldn't understand.
Seeing that the ancestor worship of the Shi tribe was about to begin, he shook his head and stopped looking, lest people misunderstand.
The Shi tribe was very lively.
This was Xie Tian's first impression.
In the center of the concentric circles, in front of the old shaman's stone house, there was a stone statue about a hundred feet tall.
The stone statue had been passed down for generations and had gone through countless hardships. Most of the surface was smooth, and a small part was bumpy.
The stone statue was carved with a shaman holding a stone hammer and hitting a rock.
Outside the stone statue, there were three layers of shamans.
The inner layer was tall and strong, and they either wore the skull of a wild beast or the fur of a wild beast.
Anyway, these shamans dressed up however they wanted to look like a humanoid wild beast.
The second layer was made up of skilled shamans, regardless of gender. There were also seven body cultivators, all dressed up well.
The third layer was made up of shamans who didn't have or couldn't make a living, such as little kids, and …
"I am also a body cultivator, why can't I stand on the second layer?" Xie Tian looked at the old shaman.
The old shaman snorted. "Please don't say that again. Be careful not to get beaten up by the body cultivators."
Looking at the group of snot-nosed little kids, Xie Tian was speechless. He had a new understanding of his position in the Shi tribe.
"Am I the king of children now?"
"Congratulations, you've become a king."
The old shaman was on the verge of vomiting. Trembling, he took out a piece of rope with a beast horn tied to it and tied it around Xie Tian's head. He tied a knot under his chin and ran to the second floor after saying a few words.
"Paying respects to the ancestors is a very serious matter. Put away your shameless face and be more sincere! Be serious! "
Xie Tian was even more speechless.
He could imagine the funny look of the two-inch long horn on his head.
So he really wanted to say, I'm already like this, and you want me to be solemn?
"Haha!"
"Uncle Xie Tian is so ugly!"
"This is the horn of a buggy beast!"
…
The group of little brats started to laugh and play. The parents stopped them with cold eyes, but when they saw Xie Tian's appearance, their faces couldn't help but twitch.
"Well done!" Shi Meng winked at the old shaman.
The old shaman was so moved that he was about to cry. This was the first time the leader had praised him.
"Cough cough …"
The old shaman appeared with a crooked walking stick. The noisy scene immediately became quiet, and a solemn atmosphere gradually took over.
Glancing at the old shaman whose head was full of bird feathers, Xie Tian regained his confidence, and his gloominess lessened.
"Pay respects to the ancestors, begin!"
Then …
The shaman led the dance.
The group of "beasts" danced wildly.
Xie Tian opened his mouth wide, which was a rare sight. He was dumbfounded.
Who was the one who told me to be solemn just now?
But not long after, he recovered from his daze and looked straight at the stone statue with astonishment in his eyes.
As the beasts danced wildly, the dim stone statue began to emit a faint glow.
The moment the glow appeared, the group of shamans seemed to be on steroids. They danced even more happily and sang even louder.
The bird feathers and beast feathers on the old shaman's body also seemed to have come to life, and they trembled continuously.
All kinds of syllables roared out from his lungs. Although Xie Tian couldn't understand them, he understood the long shaman word at the end of each sentence.
For a moment, Xie Tian thought of the Burial Ground Shaman's roar. That was …
"Shaman song …"
He finally understood.
The so-called ancestral worship in the Shaman tribe was a group of people performing shaman songs.
This group of shamans who lived in the Shaman Continent would use such a ritual every year to tell their ancestors that they were living well, how many dire beasts they had hunted this year, and how many new lives had been born in the tribe …
"But, is this shaman song …"
Thinking of the Burial Ground Shaman's lawless, domineering shaman song that fought against heaven and earth, Xie Tian felt a tinge of desolation.
The era that belonged to the shamans had come to an end.
But the next moment, he smiled.
There was nothing bad about it.
Perhaps this kind of shaman was cuter, and he could feel the aura of life more personally …
"Roar, shaman!"
At the end of the ancestral worship, everyone roared shaman at the top of their lungs and charged at the stone statue.
The stone statue shone brightly, and a tangible light burst out, enveloping everyone from the inside out.
The warriors bathed in the ancestral light the most, followed by those in the middle. The kids around Xie Tian had the least.
Xie Tian frowned slightly.
As the ancestral light shone on him, he felt a weak force enter his body, wanting to fuse into his bones and blood.
He did not want to reject it.
But the existences in his body were rejecting it.
As if they all looked down on this force, the terrifying force that was piecing together the evil body snorted coldly, and the weak force instantly disintegrated, turning into nothingness.
As if sensing this, the old shaman glanced at Xie Tian in shock, and then immediately retracted his gaze, but his heart was in his throat.
"Haha, I've become stronger again!"
"This year's ancestral light is especially abundant, indicating the prosperity of our Shi tribe!"
"May the ancestors bless us, so that we can hunt more wild beasts, make better stone statues, and brew more wine!"
"May the ancestors bless us, so that we can get a good spot in this year's worship of the ancestral shaman!"
…
Those who were shone on by the ancestral light were excited, as if they had taken drugs.
Especially when the old shaman announced that the three youngsters who attracted the most ancestral light had the right to join the hunting team, everyone cheered.
Xie Tian also shouted twice, but saw two of the three glancing at him and snorting coldly, their proud young faces full of disdain.
Shrugging his shoulders, Xie Tian was ready to leave.
"Xie Tian …"
Turning his head, he saw the leader, Shi Meng, walking over with a strange expression.
"Leader, you look mighty today." Xie Tian flattered.
Shi Meng laughed, "The shaman is looking for you."
"Oh."
Shi Meng's head was full of question marks.
"Every year after the worship, doesn't the shaman want to meet the new elite of the hunting team? Why is he calling for him …"
Outside the shaman's stone house, the three youngsters were waiting respectfully.
They knew that this time, the omnipotent shaman would find them a good master, to teach them how to become strong warriors.
Seeing Xie Tian, the three of them did not look at him, but in the eyes of the two youths, there was a flash of disdain.
Xie Tian walked around the three of them, commenting.
"Not bad, not bad."
"He has the potential to become a master."
"Valiant, much better than the one outside."
…
Hearing this, the three youngsters couldn't help but roll their eyes.
