Winter is approaching.

Originally, there was no understanding of spring, summer, autumn and winter in the north, and all tribes each had a saying about the cycle of four seasons. However, later, the Yuan Meng Dynasty was established and imitated Middle Earth in many aspects, so there was a saying of winter.

Winter is approaching and frost and snow are coming.

Further north, heavy snow has begun.

When frost and snow come, it will be a bone-cold cold, and it will be a great disaster in food, disease, and clothing.

Faced with this season, no matter how big or small tribes are, even if they are as prosperous as grassland tribes, they will inevitably die in the cold winter, most of which are the elderly, children and injured.

But there is never frost and snow here in the Manchu tribe.

Although it is inevitable that winter here is cold, frost and snow never fall.

Perhaps it is because the volcano behind the Man tribe hides earthly fire, which affects the celestial phenomena, so frost and snow will not fall here. But for the tribes, this is the gift of the Fire God.

Before the birth of a god, the ancestors of the Man tribe suffered from the volcanoes here often erupted, but they still did not move here. Although they did not know the specific reason, if you think about it carefully, one of the reasons may be related to the warmth of the place, which is conducive to survival in winter.

And today is the winter solstice.

This is the day set by Yuan Meng according to the four seasons and eight festivals of Zhongtu.

For the Man tribe, this is the day to sacrifice to the Fire God.

Every winter, it is a yearly rotation.

The Barbarians originally had Yuanmeng troops, but at this time, the garrison generals had to return to the grassland, perhaps spending the snow and snow winter with their tribesmen, or handing over errands.

Next year, another group of new troops will be exchanged for.

Although there are more than a hundred people in the Yuan and Mongolian army that are still in the Barbarian tribe, the number is not large and can be easily dealt with.

So on this day, it was the only grand ceremony that remained among many customs and traditions of the Manchu tribe.

...

For Yuan Meng, the tribe that had already subdued had never caused much trouble, not to mention that the fire god of the Man tribe had been destroyed, which was not worth worrying about, so it was inevitable that it was a little ignored.

But I am afraid that no one would know that there were foreign monsters who knew how to absorb incense and secretly took up the position of gods, causing the Barbarians to have another new god decades later.

Originally, the fire could not be contained, but there were not many troops. The demon god took action personally and deceived it all, and was confused by the people of the Barbarians. In recent years, Yuan Meng has not been discovered by the Yuan Meng.

Seeing that today's sacrifices are quite prosperous, I think the demon god also attaches great importance to it.

The reason why He did not personally seek trouble with Qingyuan was actually related to this.

"Sacrifice..."

Qingyuan stood at a high place, looking at the distant tribe.

The peaks there are a little darker, dark and faintly red, with a more hot atmosphere, spreading.

There are traces of tribes outside the mountain, but the houses and villages are stretched out, full of a large area, far from comparable to the small tribes from Suguan.

The dark peak is where the volcano is located.

At the foot of the mountain is the Barbarian tribe.

But the tribe is enough to save as many as 100,000 people. Looking at the entire north, there are very few such tribes with a large number of people.

"I haven't seen the aura of the demon god, but that... is the original appearance of the Fire God?"

Qingyuan had already learned some things from the four people including Wen Lao and Fang Ming, and then released the four people and fled themselves. However, he himself came to the Barbarian tribe.

Looking at the huge statue of god in front of him, Qingyuan could sense a bit of a blazing divine power.

The statue is twelve meters high, full of stone, with redness in the gray, and is made of rocks in the volcano. Looking at its appearance, it looks like a middle-aged man with upright facial features and majestic temperament, and his body is also very burly and sturdy, and he is raising his hands up and holding it up.

Volcanoes often erupt, and this god exists in the desire of people's hearts. It is the Heavenly Lord of Fire, so he goes up with his hands, which means taking over the fire of disaster.

The statues of the deity that the Barbarian tribe had been worshipped for countless years were broken for decades, which aroused strong resistance from the Barbarian tribe, but they were all suppressed under bloodbath.

This statue of god was later made by volcanic rocks and was quietly hidden. It was usually hidden. It was only when the winter solstice was invited to be sacrificed, strengthened its beliefs, and restored the tribe's spirit for countless years.

...

There is a river outside the Man tribe, which is more than twenty feet wide and several miles long, flowing into the lake.

The source of the river water actually originated near the volcano. The river water at the front seemed a little warm and white air swayed. As the river flowed down, the water temperature gradually became colder.

The Barbarians gathered a crowd of thousands of people, and they bowed to the statue of the god by the river.

There are altars, cattle, sheep, livestock, bacon, dried fish, melons, fruits, wild vegetables, etc. Compared with the strict etiquette of Central Earth, there are slightly different things, and the sacrifices are also different.

Although the ceremony seemed rough, hundreds or thousands of altars stretched into a landscape, which was quite shocking and spectacular.

Ten thousand people worship, and this is an extremely rare scene when they are placed in Middle Earth.

But in the Manchu tribe, it feels a little cold.

Before the Barbarian tribe was attacked by Yuan Meng, nearly 100,000 tribes worshiped sincerely, and there were many tribes around them, thousands of tribes, thousands of tribes, and hundreds of tribes, all under the intimidation of the Barbarian tribe and worshipped the God of Fire.

At its peak in history, at its peak, there were 600,000 believers of the Manchu Fire God, and this was only a certain period. Under the prosperity of generations and the accumulation of countless years, the Manchu Fire God... its divine power is not very large.

And the current scene is really a bit "shrimp" compared to that of the past.

But for that new god, there was an unimaginable scene in front of him.

"Come on here soon?"

Qingyuan looked at the statue, and there was no breath of the gods attached to it.

According to Fang Ming, in order to avoid the sight of the Yuanmeng army, the statue of the god has been sinking in the water all year round. The new god is also fire, so he is not happy and has another place to hide.

Whenever the winter solstice is worshipped, He will attach himself to the statue of God to appear, consolidate the pious thoughts of believers, and avoid not appearing for many years. Under the persecution of Yuanmeng, the tribe gradually loses its belief in the worship of the gods of its ancestors.

"Here you come."

Qingyuan suddenly paused and his breathing stuttered slightly.

The technique of sealing the universe and the universe has completely absorbed all the breath.

But see ahead.

There was a ray of red light that suddenly emerged from the source of the river and came suddenly along the river.

When the red light arrives, the river water boils.

I saw that white smoke suddenly appeared on the river surface at the source of the river and filled with mist.

It seems that there is a lot of white smoke and mist coming along the river.

"The God of Vulcan has appeared!"

"The God of Vulcan appears..."

Countless sounds of joy, excitement and shock came one after another.

So countless devout believers continued to bow.

Immediately, many people appeared behind and carried out two wooden boats, like bamboo rafts.

There were eighty-one girls on a bamboo raft.

There were eighty-one boys on a bamboo raft.

"Blood Sacrifice..."
