Chapter 196: Ancient Rites Sacrifice to the Ancestral Gods
"What!" Cao Yusen was surprised, this is too cruel, right? The baby is rolled to death on a wheel, and finally its corpse is stuffed into the wheel! This, this......
Uncle Yang nodded, and he immediately spoke out to prevent Cao Yusen from saying cruelty, and said: "This is a sacrifice for God, and it is a great honor to become a person next to God!" At that time, many families were very willing! And cutting off the head of the sheep and burying it together means auspiciousness and smoothness, and the sheep and auspiciousness are fake. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info This part of the road, I don't know how many wheels are buried, and each wheel is stuffed with a baby! β
Cao Yusen's face jumped, terrifying! It's really horrible! He never thought it would be so cruel!
The driver took out a shovel from the car, I really didn't expect the car to be equipped with a shovel at any time, he shoveled a few shovels, and shoveled into a mound.
Then there was wine and some food on the car, which he placed on the mound, and the other passengers, including Uncle Yang, did the same, as long as they had food on them, they would put it on it.
Incense again, prayer again, how religious these people were. Then there is the pouring of wine into the mound, and that's not all.
The driver went to remove the spare wheel, and Uncle Yang carried it with him and then pressed it heavily on the mound, once, twice, three times, and smashed the mound flat.
When Zhang Qiuchi saw it, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Sacrificing to the god of the road is called 'Yuan', also known as 'Yuandao'." The reason why it is called "θ’" is that one says that "θ’" leads to "εΎ", and another says that "θ’" means the beginning, the beginning of a long journey, so it is necessary to sacrifice to the god of the road. 'η΄±' is also the sacrifice of the god of the road, the road is difficult, the people who travel far away or pile up the earth into a mountain, or put the sacrificial animal on the mound, after the sacrifice is completed, and then run over the sacrificial animal with a wheel, indicating that the road is no longer difficult. What they are doing now is exactly what is recorded in the ancient books! β
Cao Yusen was also surprised, but he really didn't expect to encounter this kind of incident.
The driver is starting to drink, how can you drink while driving? Isn't this disregarding the lives of all the people in the car? Although the driver just took a sip, it is still very frightening, this is a mountain road, a careless will fall into the abyss, how can you drink? Don't drink and drive, don't drink while driving, although it's just a sip, it's also worrying!
It's just that many people take it for granted that drivers do this, they are switching one after another, wanting to drink, and taking out some food, often taking a bite and throwing it on the wheel.
Cao Yusen couldn't understand it, he really didn't understand. The driver glared at Cao Yusen and said, "What are you still stunned about?" Drink! Eat! β
Zhang Qiuchi understood, and said: "Could it be that this is the 'candied line' in the ritual of the ancestral sacrifice?" Relatives and friends traveled far away, and they wanted to make a meal for it, set up a table of wine and feast, and eat and drink a lot. Although there are still ancient relics, the etiquette of the feast has long been missing. "Shuo Wen Jie Zi": 'Sweet, send it also. 'Farewell to those who have traveled far away. Xu Kai explained: "Wine and food are also delivered. 'There must be food and wine in the food and drink. Although it is simple, in fact, the ancient rites of sacrifice have long been lost, but there is no shortage of wine and food! β
Brother Qian also understands a little: "Mao Heng and Mao Chang's "Mao Biography" of the Han Dynasty contains, 'The ancestors gave up the Yun, drank on their sides, and started to have something to do with the Tao. In other words, when you want to send your relatives and friends on a long journey, you must first worship the ancestral gods, and then drink and eat on the side of the road. And now what they are doing is the same as in the ancient rituals, but the specific rituals have long been lost, and we must follow along! β
Oh, yes! If you don't do it along, wait a minute, something really happened to the car, so what's the matter?
The driver and the driver are all people who are known as very superstitious, especially in this dangerous place, a negligence may die without a place to be buried, and the driver can only give himself faith through superstition, so that he can complete the delivery of guests from the dangerous mountain road to a safe place again and again.
So some superstitious things can sometimes give people very strong spiritual power, which is sometimes good! Even Cao Yusen's inverted fighters are also extremely superstitious. So it's not good to say anything about them, just do what they say.
After all this was done, the driver and passengers breathed a sigh of relief and got into the car one after another.
Uncle Yang said: "These ceremonies were originally by your Han people, and they have come in the Tang Dynasty, and they have been done by Han people, and they were originally only done by merchants on the Ancient Tea Horse Road. Thousands of years have passed, it has become a custom, and it can't be changed if it is changed, and once it is changed, something big will happen! How dare you change it? β
Uncle Yang pointed to Shi Kangdang on the side of the road again, and said: "It is still the handiwork of you Han people to set up so many Shi Kangdang, so that the Ancient Tea Horse Road can be safe and will not be disturbed by evil monsters!" And the same goes for this wheel! β
To say that it was impossible to use babies to be crushed to death by wheels in the Tang Dynasty, the Han people have long been without such cruel practices, could it be that these babies are all native?
Cao Yusen was thinking so, and Uncle Yang said: "The Han people originally wanted to stuff black dogs into the wheel, but the locals at that time insisted that if there were no animals, it would have no effect, and if there was no effect, they would suffer greatly!" No matter what, you have to let the baby be stuffed in the middle! In the end, it was a method of stuffing a baby into a reel. β
Cao Yusen sighed, there is no way, history is sometimes cruel, advancing in cruelty and inhumanity.
sighed, and with the driver's voice: "Passengers, let's pry the boulder to the other side together!" It's a matter of working together! β
Oh, yes! The boulder is so big that it is difficult for one person to do it, but if so many people work together, the situation will be different, and it will be easy to do.
No, the boulder was pried to the other side, and of course someone buried the wheel back, and buried the pit, so that even if a car passed by, it might not be able to press the wheel.
After all this was done, the driver beckoned the passengers to get on the bus, and when the passengers were all in the car, he started the car, and the car was moving forward.
The mountain road is naturally upside down, and the passengers' stomachs are messed up, but look at the other passengers are used to it, living in this mountainous area, and taking this car is also used to it.
At this moment, a thin fog came up, the fog was not large, and the vehicle slowed down.
While the car was moving, Cao Yusen couldn't help but shout and said, "Wow! There's someone ahead! Someone! "Yes! The car did not stop, but still drove towards the middle of the road, and in the middle of the road there was a large mule team, a group of people were walking in a row, they were leading the mules, walking, step by step!
