Chapter 332: Abandoning the Sacrifice
"These are sacrificial offerings!" Patriarch Feng's face turned pale, as if he would turn into a powerful ghost in the next moment. www.biquge.info"Do you want to break the rules?"
He wasn't sure what he meant now. Although he is his child, in the Feng clan, the power of the young master is the greatest, and even he, the patriarch, must let him have a few points. This is the rule of the Feng clan.
"It's something that's not necessary, so it's better to scrap it sooner. ”
Young Master Feng's words surprised Patriarch Feng and all the elders. The elders were shocked that the young master thought that the sacrifice was an unnecessary thing, and the Feng patriarch was shocked that the young master Feng wanted to abolish the sacrifice. Wouldn't that show that he couldn't get what was on the altar?
"No!" "No!"
Patriarch Feng and the elders spoke in unison, but the meaning was very different.
The beard on the Great Elder's face shook and trembled, as if it would fall off in the next moment.
"Sacrifice is a rule handed down from our ancestors, and it must never be abandoned. ”
He extremely disagreed with what Young Master Feng said. The hundred-year-old sacrifice is to pray for the blessings and blessings of the ancestors, which is related to the fate of the entire Feng clan, how can such a thing be abandoned.
"Don't say anything like this in the future, young master. ”
Young Master Feng looked coldly, slicing across the faces of the six of them one by one, some serious, some frowned, and some were puzzled.
"Do you really think this is another blessing?"
His voice was a little hoarse, but the words reached everyone's ears accurately.
"Offering a living person as a sacrifice, is this what is called earthly blessing?"
For a while, the crowd exploded. Is the sacrifice really a blessing? If so, why do so many innocent people be sacrificed?
The elders also looked at each other, they had never paid attention to this, they were just following the instructions passed down from their ancestors, but they had never thought about whether it was reasonable to do so.
It wasn't until today, when Young Master Feng brought it up, that they were surprised. The reason why the sacrifice was made as early as the 100th birthday of the successive young lords was to pray for the blessings of the people and the happiness of the people. But it is undoubtedly a cruel thing to prepare hundreds of living people as sacrifices for each sacrifice.
Although the sacrifice is once in a hundred years, this is enough to break the status quo of the Feng clan. It is not easy for the Feng clan to reproduce, and it is very difficult to inherit the bloodline, so this kind of sacrifice makes the number of the Feng clan smaller and smaller.
However, how can the rules handed down by our ancestors be said to change?
Several elders are still a little stereotypical, although they also admit that such a sacrificial method is harmful to the Feng clan, but after all, this is passed down by the ancestors, and their descendants cannot change it at will.
"But this is the ...... of the old ancestor" The Great Elder was a little entangled, obviously two thoughts were arguing in his mind. If it hadn't been brought up by the young master today, he would probably not have paid attention to this issue in his life until he died.
Young Master Feng turned around, and his gaze fell on the Feng people who were threatened by the guards. The horror on their faces had not faded, but there was hope in their eyes.
"The old ancestor set the rules to protect the well-being of the Feng clan, if this kind of rule itself already threatens the Feng clan, there is no need to exist. Besides, I don't think our ancestors would have made such cruel rules. ”
His gaze fell on Patriarch Feng's body at once, and his expression was inexplicable. That gaze made Patriarch Feng's heart skip a beat, and he couldn't help but get nervous.
The Great Elder thought about his words, and it seemed to make sense, if it were him, he would not have made such a cruel rule. If it's for blessings, why do you use such cruel methods? This in itself is already a sin. No wonder the current heirs of the Feng clan are difficult, and they can't even produce a child for decades. It turns out that this is all sin, and it is the punishment of God and ancestors.
Originally, the Feng Clan and the Qilin Clan appeared in Monte at the same time, balancing each other. But now, due to the decrease in population, the Feng clan has declined, while the Qilin clan is still vibrant.
I thought that relying on sacrifices and prayers could change this situation, but unexpectedly, the sacrifices they believed in were the culprits.
He looked at the Feng people who had been held hostage, their eyes all flashing with hope and longing, which was completely different from the lifeless appearance of the past.
Or, they're really wrong. For so many years, the sacrifice has harmed not only the lives of the living, but also the trust of the clansmen.
"This ......"
The Great Elder thought about this clearly, and was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by Patriarch Feng.
"Hmph! Since the old ancestor has set the rules, he naturally has the truth of the old ancestor, since the young master is the young master, he should act according to the will of the old ancestor, how can he change it arbitrarily!"
"Patriarch, this ......" The Great Elder frowned, wanting to say something to Patriarch Feng, because he also felt that what the young master said was reasonable.
Patriarch Feng didn't look at him, waved his hand, and blocked what he was about to say.
"Great Elder, the young master is not sensible, so he should not have said anything about it. It's not early, and the sacrifice isn't over yet. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the men holding the sacrifices pushed the hundreds of people to the edge of the altar, and some of them slammed into the altar with too much force, knocking out blood.
Patriarch Feng walked past Young Master Feng and glared at him fiercely.
"Even if you are the young master, you can't change the fact of sacrifice. ”
If you want to talk about the relationship between Patriarch Feng and Young Master Feng, it is very delicate. The young master of the Feng clan is not because of the bloodline, but because of the regulations, the golden phoenix will become the young master, regardless of gender.
Jin Feng is the highest bloodline of the Feng Clan, and they are considered to be the closest bloodline to the old ancestor. And the golden phoenix is also very difficult to appear, almost once in a hundred years.
This also means that as long as a new golden phoenix appears, it will take the place of the previous one and become the new young master. This is also the reason why in the Feng clan, the status of the young master is higher than that of the patriarch.
And when it came to the Feng Patriarch and the Feng Young Master, when the Feng Patriarch was still the Young Master, it happened that the new Jin Feng was born among his heirs. The position of the young master was handed down.
Once the new golden phoenix is born, he will be arranged to live in a special place, during which he will not see his family until his 100th birthday.
Therefore, this is actually the first meeting between Patriarch Feng and Young Master Feng. It is conceivable that their relationship is extremely weak, and it is not even as good as a stranger.
"Young master, don't think about it anymore, let's think about how to sacrifice and pray for the blessings of the Feng clan. ”
Patriarch Feng saw that Young Master Feng's face froze, revealing a scheming smile. Even the young master couldn't stop his plan.
"Someone ...... coming"
"Wait!" the Great Elder still felt that something was wrong, and stretched out his palm to stop him.
"I think this matter needs to be discussed. ”
