At this moment, music imbued with an ancient aura began to play.
A group of dancers dressed like priests appeared, performing strange dance steps and muttering incantations. They wore grotesque masks on their faces, resembling both ghosts and deities.
As they danced, they approached Mu Qingge, surrounding her.
The horsetail whisks in their hands brushed against her body from time to time, and they would grab handfuls of the pure water, sprinkling it over Mu Qingge's head and body...
Soon, the dancers retreated.
The Ritual Officer then said, "Mu Qingge, come up to the stage!"
Mu Qingge obeyed, stepping up the stairs to the platform.
The platform was still covered with a red carpet, upon which a long table was placed, offering three sacrificial animals and six domestic animals, along with incense candles.
In front of the long table, there was a cushion, prepared for Mu Qingge.
She walked to the cushion and knelt down on both legs.
