Chapter 180: Brainwashing

Seeing that the situation was not good, Sha Ma Pizhi hurriedly jumped out: "But you also destroyed our ritual!" ”

Su You arched his hand and said: "Shama ghost master, we Han people have a saying, 'The major affairs of the country are in the worship and Rong. 'Sacrifice is a more important thing in our hearts than war, so how can we not understand and respect your sacrifice?' You said that we ruined your sacrificial rituals, it should mean that Mr. Fan stopped the Erlin Department from using living people as sacrifices, right? ”

Sha Ma Pizhi shouted: "Exactly! You Song people are all cowards who can't kill people! We are the sons and daughters of the mountains, and we are not afraid of this! Why do you want to stop our traditions?! ”

Many people raised their heads and nodded, wanting to see how Su You explained.

Su You sighed and said, "Don't think that killing the living as a sacrifice is unique to the tribe. My people also made sacrifices with living people thousands of years ago! And the number of people employed, the cruelty of the technique, much more powerful than yours! ”

The tent exploded again, I didn't expect the gentle and elegant Song people, their ancestors also did this?!

Su You arched his hand and said: "Just from the technique, there is a felling, that is, to cut off the head of Yige; There is a slash, that is, a knife to cut; There is Shi, also known as cueping, that is, disemboweling and excavating the intestines; There is a sting, which is about to be dried by cracking and drying after the culling; If there is fire, it will be burned; There is a nail, that is, to cook people; There is burning, that is, burning; There is a scoop, that is, buried alive; There is a figurine, made into meat sauce; There is Yi, kill and display the corpse...... The list goes on and on. ”

Everyone is stupid, it's just a matter of killing a person and sacrificing people, do you want so many tricks?

I listened to Su You continue: "It is recorded in ancient Chinese books that Emperor Xin, the last monarch of the Shang Dynasty, was gifted and intelligent, eloquent, quick in action, and powerful in his strength. ”

"He is brave enough to fight a beast with his bare hands. He is wise enough to reject the counsel of others. His words are enough to cover up all his faults. ”

"He used to 'burn the nine marquis', 'the marquis of E', 'cut the bigan', 'burn the moxibustion and loyalty', and 'burn the cannon to hurt the people's animals'. Is it more solemn than your rituals, more complex than your methods, and higher than your human and animal ranks? ”

"However, the gods of heaven and earth, have blessed him? Combine! Not! Yes! ”

Everyone in the tent was shocked, no matter how ruthless they were, they were not ruthless enough to exchange the leader of the small tribe for a trick sacrifice, but no one knew that it was actually this baby who secretly changed the concept.

"He bereaved Siber's son, detained him, and let his servants exchange him with a large number of beautiful women, treasures, and horses."

"During the days of his captivity, Siber calmed down and pondered, what kind of sacrifice is the sacrifice that satisfies the ancestors of the gods? What kind of rules are the rules that everyone in the world can follow? ”

Everyone in the tent was once again lost in thought.

"After Xibo's death, his son King Wu raised an army to fight against Di Xin, and there were 800 princes who rushed to the alliance, and even the army organized by the Shang Dynasty itself turned against each other and joined the crusade together, and the 600-year history of the Shang Dynasty was ended in a blink of an eye."

From then on, the Zhou dynasty switched to the same system established by Xibo and the Duke of Zhou, replacing the cruel human and animal sacrifices. In exchange, it is a national honor that has been passed down to 30 generations and 37 kings for 800 years. It is also the longest reigning dynasty in Chinese history. ”

The Great Witch asked, "Son, how did you understand the sacrifice of the Xibo you mentioned?" ”

Su You bowed down and said: "Xibo has figured it out, no matter which legend of the clan, people are the children of the gods, and the gods are like our heavenly fathers, don't you say?" ”

Everyone nodded.

"May I ask you, then, what father can not feel heartbroken when he sees one of his children kill another child, and then sacrifice the one that was killed to him as a prey?"

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, their eyes full of confusion and panic.

"What do the gods really value? Uncle Zhou thought very clearly, what the gods value should be the respect and love for him in our hearts! ”

Dawu nodded slightly, as if he agreed with this statement.

Su You said: "Just now the Great Witch asked Xibo how to understand the sacrifice, then we must first figure out what the essence of the sacrifice is. ”

"Sacrifice is a gift of communication between man and god and sympathy. It is the process of confessing our pain, confusion, fear, and gratitude to the gods with the most solemn rituals and the most exquisite offerings, in the hope of receiving comfort and guidance from the gods. ”

Da Wu couldn't help but nod slightly: "Child, are the gods of your Han people the same as our gods?" ”

Su You said: "Dawu, I don't know what the gods of the Erlin Department are, but the gods of our Han people, I can say a thing or two." ”

"Our gods are roughly divided into three categories, the gods, the earthly gods, and the human ghosts."

"The gods of heaven are headed by Haotian God, followed by the five emperors, the five stars, the twenty-eight houses, the command, the wind, the rain, and the twelve."

"The land is headed by the emperor and the earth, followed by Shenzhou, Sheji, Wuyue, Sidu, Sizhen, Sizhen, Sihai, mountains and forests, and famous rivers."

"People and ghosts are divided into civil and military, on our literati side, Confucius Sheng, with philosophy, sages, and Confucianism; On the martial arts side, Jiang Shang, Han Xin, seventy-two generals. ”

"There is another category of people and ghosts, that is, the ancestors of the temple, as well as all the places in the house, living utensils, and all walks of life and all walks of life."

The Great Witch sighed with emotion: "Your gods are more and more complete than those of our Erlin Department. How do you know so clearly? Are you also a wizard of your clan? ”

Su You bowed and said: "Dawu, our clansmen, left three books thousands of years ago, which tell about the etiquette handed down by King Wen and Zhou Gong, collectively known as "Three Rites", one of which is called "The Book of Rites", with a total of forty-six articles, of which there are three, "Sacrifice Law", "Sacrifice Righteousness", "Sacrifice System", specializing in sacrifices. It is a must-read book for all readers of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Dawu said: "No wonder, no wonder, there is indeed a inheritance." ”

Su You said: "Great Witch, then let me talk about the purpose of the sacrifice?" ”

The Great Witch hurriedly said, "Please speak." ”

Su You said: "The Book of Rites and Suburban Special Sacrifices" clouds: 'There are prayers, retributions, and reasons. ’”

"Pray, still ask for it, it is said to pray for blessings and auspiciousness, and pray for eternal chastity. This means that the sacrifice is to pray to the gods. ”

"Newspaper, it is said that if you get the newspaper. The society is like the general meeting of the two forest departments on the third day. This is to say that the sacrifice was made to show gratitude to the gods. ”

"By, use also. It is read as a disaster, and it is said to be a disaster soldier, and it is far from sin. It is said that the sacrifice is to ask the gods to avert the evil. ”

"In addition, the sacrifice also has a function, 'Yin meditation', but also to remember their ancestors and deceased relatives."

"Great Witch, the sacrificial activities of the Erlin Department should also be for these purposes, right?"

The Great Witch sighed, "This is a question I have often thought about, but I didn't expect a wise man to understand it so thoroughly. Child, your Xibo and Zhou Gong are two amazing characters. ”

Su You bowed down and said, "That's the luck of our Han people." Dawu, next, I'll talk about the method of sacrifice, but these things are my own thoughts, if there is anything wrong, please correct Dawu. ”

The Great Witch said, "Say it." ”

Su You said: "Great Witch, the reason why people are the darlings of the gods is because people are different from other categories, and we are endowed with spirituality. This has become the difference between us and animals. Do you agree? ”

The Great Witch nodded: "Yes, but among people, there are also a few who have lost their spirituality, and among beasts, there are also a few who have spirituality." ”

After speaking, he stroked the white ape in his arms: "For example, it." ”

The little white ape had a long arm, and he reached out to pull the beard of the big witch in response, and it was indeed full of spirituality.

Su You bowed down and said, "That's true, Su You has been taught." Now we're just going to talk about the general – it is because we have spirituality that we learn to hunt, to use fire, to farm, to graze, to weave, to build houses and bridges, and so on, do you agree? ”

Dawu nodded: "Agreed." ”

Su You said: "Then next, we have to talk about our differences. We believe that the best sacrifice is not a prisoner of war, an innocent businessman, or a weak child. ”

"We believe that the best sacrifice should be the most beautiful thing that we humans have created with the spirituality that the gods have given us! Otherwise, it is not enough to repay the unique gift that God has given us! ”

"In the spring, the otter will place the first fish it catches on the shore, stand upright and put his hands on his chest, and worship the river."

"In autumn, the red jackal will catch more prey, pile them together, and sacrifice to the mountains and forests."

"This is what the proverb calls 'the otter sacrifices spring, and the jackal sacrifices autumn.'" But if our sacrifice is like an otter and a red jackal, then what difference do we have from beasts?! ”
