Bab 713: Let Soul and Body Become One

Upon invitation from the elders of the village, Mu Zi presided over the adult ceremony. He dissected the carcasses, wiped their blood on the kids' foreheads and said some blessings, which marked the kids' growth into adulthood. This was the tradition of most local villages in Tutankhamun. It was obvious that Mu Zi liked the process very much. In his former village, his father did the same thing as well.

The blessing ceremony was then completed, and the grand bonfire dinner began. The enthusiastic villagers danced around the bonfire while the barbeque roasting on the fire sizzled with oil. The fragrance of the meat and sounds from singing and dancing flooded the whole village, exuding the unique heat and passion of the desert locals.
