There will also be sacrifices in the capital, but what is it? Su Yiyao is not very clear about the ceremony, she has seen in the book that there are five classics in the past, and it is not more important than sacrifices, but to bless the gods. book network . v o d t . c o m

However, the objects of worship are divided into three categories: gods, earthly gods, and human ghosts. The gods are worshipped, the earth is sacrificed, and the temple is enjoyed.

The sacrificial concept records the Confucian "Zhou Li", "The Book of Rites" and "The Book of Rites and Justice", and the "University Yanyi Supplement" and other books.

"The gods are not of the same kind, and the people are not of the same race."

There is a strict hierarchy of sacrifices, the gods and the earth are sacrificed by the Son of Heaven, the princes and doctors sacrifice to the mountains and rivers, and the Shishu can only sacrifice their ancestors and the god of the stove.

"Sacrifice" also means to worship the gods, pray to the gods, and worship ancestors. Every year, Su Yiyao will follow her grandmother to sweep the tombs of the ancestors of the Su family. It is said that before the Ming Kingdom was established, it was said that the soul of a person could exist without the body. Sacrifice is a derivative of this idea of the soul.

Therefore, there was nothing strange at first, but it was a little strange that sacrifices were often sacrificed, but after looking at it for a long time, I didn't see a chicken or other fruits, only an empty table was placed aside, and at first people gathered around this big table, but what did those children do with it?

"Nightwind, do you know what this is doing?" Su Yiyao never took her eyes off those children, but just leaned sideways and whispered into the ear of the night breeze.

"Miss, I haven't seen this kind of scene in the night wind, but I heard some old women say that in some places there are living people to sacrifice."

It is believed that everything in the universe is controlled by God. Therefore, people pray for the blessings of the gods through the activities of worshipping the gods. Whenever the gods are worshipped, people take out valuables as tribute, and in some places even use human lives as tributes to show their piety.

Su Yiyao became angry after hearing this, and she was really angry.

"Bastard! Even making fun of the lives of children, the sacrifice is just to remember the ancestors or to commemorate the deceased, Miss Ben has never heard of a child to sacrifice to the sky! At this moment, Su Yiyao lost her mind a little, and wanted to rush in after speaking.

"Miss, you have to remember, this is Liuxi!"

The words of the night wind really made Su Yiyao's steps stop, and he watched quietly, without saying a word, I heard Su Da say before, why are there rules that hurt children's lives when there are many rules on Liuxi's side?

And it was still in the middle of the night, and then they moved a bronze tripod, there is a bronze statue between the big tripod, it looks very strange, it looks like a human statue and a beast, in front of a strange bronze statue, people put torches under the bronze statue one after another, a large pile of burning firewood.

The strangely dressed person reached out and pulled out a child from the cage, restrained his hands, pulled out a dagger from his belt and stabbed it at the child's hands, and screamed, Su Yiyao thought: This child's tendons are afraid that they will be broken like this, Su Yiyao's whole person began to tremble, her fists were clenched tightly, her nails were inserted into the flesh, and drops of blood flowed from Su Yiyao's palms, but Su Yiyao didn't feel it at all, as if it wasn't her own hands.

"Five hundred children as a sacrifice to God, their parents have the glory of nothing! God will surely bless the people of Liuxi City when he sees me so devoutly! From now on, the wind and rain will be smooth! Ahh ”

It seems that that strange man is a priest, what an abomination!

The children, whose veins had been severed, could no longer cry, but were afraid, so frightened that they could not curl up on their own, and were first placed on the outstretched hands of the idol, and then fell into the fire and burned into charcoal.

The festival is full of drumming and bustling. Masked dancers preside over the ritual along with powerful priests.

Su Yiyao also found that there was a group of people standing by the cage looking at those children, like wooden people, what was going on?

"Miss, I'm afraid these people are the parents of the child." After the night wind said this, Su Yiyao rushed out desperately.

Parents who sacrifice their children as tribute must stand by and watch without shedding a single tear, for the sacrifice of their children to God is a privilege not for ordinary parents, but only for the noblest families.

"Stop it all!" Su Yiyao ran over violently, squeezed into the sacrificial heart, and spread her hands to protect the children behind her.

As soon as Su Yiyao broke in, everyone present was angry, and they wanted to push Su Yiyao into the copper furnace and sacrifice with those children.

Night Wind pulled out the long sword at his waist and jumped into the sacrificial heart, holding the long sword at the people who wanted to do something.

"Who are you! What a great sin to disturb our sacrifice! ”

"Yes, the gods will definitely punish us Liuxi if they know about it!"

"Oh my God, we Liuxi can't stand the days of no water anymore!"

Those people think that the drought problem in Liuxi can be solved through sacrifices, how is this possible? If a water source can be found through sacrifices, the imperial court will not worry about flowing west every year!

Su Yiyao ignored their words, just saw that they hadn't rushed yet, and walked directly to the cage to untie the cage children, like letting go of those children, since the children's father and mother are here, then the children can go back.

But the truth is not so smooth, although Su Yiyao let these children go, but their parents did not appreciate it, they also felt that it was Su Yiyao, a foreign woman, who disturbed their sacrifice, and they were not at all grateful to Su Yiyao for letting go of their children but raised their voices and scolded, men are generally ruthless, but women are different, the child was born from the woman's womb in October, reluctant! But there is nothing to be done, the rules of the Liuxi cannot be disobeyed! I had to turn around and simply not look at it.

"Come and take your own children away! Could it be that you can really send your flesh and blood to death with a ruthless heart! Su Yiyao glared at everyone present.

"What do you know as a foreigner! This is our greatest honor, and the children's sacrifice can be exchanged for the stability of Liuxi, which is worth it! It's also the mission of the children! ”

Mission? It has become a mission to let these little children die, which is really stupid and ridiculous.

"Ask these children if they are willing, shouldn't the sacrifice be felt by the gods willingly?"
