Chapter 450: Tribal Sacrifice
More than thirty pieces of purple silver were thrown out like this, not to mention that Xiyushan's liver hurt when he saw it, and even Du Qian, who didn't care much about hardware, was about to be deflated. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The silver snake is really difficult, you throw it at people and eat it, you don't care if you don't throw them, at most there are a few curious silver snakes, they will poke their heads out of the clouds, take a look at Du Qian, and wonder why he didn't throw it.
"These lightning bolts eat the rocks you throw? They seem to like it very much, and there are a lot of lightning bolts. "The magnetic bear is the most transcendent thing, she doesn't know what the lightning above her head is, and she doesn't know the value of purple silver.
It is precisely for this reason that she sees it more clearly than Du Qian and Xi Yushan. Don't look at the silver snakes scurrying around in the clouds from time to time, flashes are everywhere, that's because the speed of the silver snakes is too fast, and they like to chase each other, from the bottom of the view, there seem to be countless silver snakes dancing around.
In fact, the number of silver snakes in this area is far less than that felt, if you look closely, you will find that before Du Qian threw the purple silver, the number of silver snakes in this cloud was about ten or so. Throwing so much purple silver on it, the number of silver snakes at least tripled at this time.
"A lot?" Du Qian only cared about throwing purple silver, occasionally looking to see if there were silver snakes from under the clouds, and he didn't think that the number of silver snakes had changed.
"Well, three times more than just now, what's the use of this thing?" Magnet asked.
"It's not easy for an extremely greedy guy to make it work, like an uncle, you have to provide for it, and occasionally help you a little. Du Qian said with a smile, with a hint of depression and helplessness.
No way, who makes his strength too poor, if Du Qian has the ability to save his life in the hands of Mo Qianyan, even if it is just the ability to escape, who would be willing to serve an uncle like Silver Snake.
"Just eating, not working, if you want it to do something, you have to pay a big price?" Magnetic Bear raised his eyebrows, with a few expressions of emotion.
Since Du Qian met Magnetic Bear, it was the first time he had seen her have such an expression. The previous magnetic bear was free and lazy, traveling south and north, traveling the world, and there was curiosity, but he was not too curious about anything, and after a little understanding, he became indifferent.
Her personality is not bad, she is a little confused, she can see clearly in major matters, and she can suffer a small loss, but if you want to take advantage of her, you don't have to think about it. Perhaps it is this kind of personality that makes it difficult for him to make friends in human society, but he communicates quite smoothly with Dabai, a different species in the sea.
Magnetic bear, rejects all falsehood, whether it is things or human hearts.
"Well, that's pretty much what you said, that's what Silver Snake is. What's wrong? You know the Silver Snake?" the magnetic bear's expression became more and more strange.
"Is this thing called a silver snake? I haven't heard of it, it's the first time I've seen it here. ”
After pausing for a moment, his eyes did not leave the silver snake in the clouds, and he said faintly: "But the characteristics you mentioned are somewhat similar to the gods worshiped in the tribe. For many years, the incense continues, at four o'clock and eight seasons, the spirit animal is worshipped, and if you want to ask the gods for protection, you must make sacrifices. ”
The last sentence was almost uttered through gritted teeth.
"Sacrifice?" Du Qian naturally did not find it difficult to hear that for sacrifice, the magnetic bear was not only disgusted and describable, but should be hateful, extremely hateful.
"Three animal sacrifices, living sacrifices, virgin sacrifices, blood sacrifices, ......" Xi Yushan said in a rather heavy tone, for those vices in the tribe, ordinary people can't learn them in school, and even most of the civilians don't even know the existence of the tribe, only scholars who have studied it will know how barbaric the sacrifices in the tribe are.
"Well, human sacrifice. "Magnetic Bear is a little surprised, these things, but the secret of the tribe, each tribe's sacrificial methods, the conditions required are different, and the specific details of the sacrifice, except for the wizards of the tribe, even the patriarch does not know.
"Human sacrifice is one of the blood sacrifices, it is a relatively mild means of blood sacrifice, usually requires one to three voluntary sacrificers, on the altar with a sacrificial knife, dig out their hearts and livers, and offer them with both hands, before the living sacrifice can be completed. Xi Yushan explained.
"And this barbaric method of sacrifice? But I don't understand, what is the purpose of doing this?" As a modern person, Du Qian completely couldn't understand the meaning of sacrifice, let alone use living people to sacrifice.
"Of course it works, in the inheritance of every tribe, there must be a so-called god, this so-called god, it may be a high-level spirit beast, it may be some kind of ghost thing, or it may even be nothing, only in the hearts of the tribesmen. ”
"But...... But what's the point of this?" Du Qian became more and more confused the more he listened, there was no use for hair, and there were still people who were willing to dig out their hearts and livers?
"You don't understand, since there are gods, there must be miracles, and these sacrificed gods, were or still exist, and when your sacrifice touches it, it will perform miracles and help you fulfill your wishes. Xi Yushan explained.
The time of tribal cultural inheritance is much older than that of the three major forces. Don't look at the three major forces that are extremely prosperous now, but they also developed little by little from tribes to city gangs. Today's tribes are usually those who have been extremely stubborn since their ancestors and refuse to accept new things, and still retain the survival philosophy and habits of ancient times.
"How high is the success rate?" Du Qian asked, he knew a little about the sacrifice in his heart, he didn't know anything else, spirit beasts have a high level of wisdom, especially those high-level wisdom, if the tribe worships this kind of thing, maybe, spirit beasts will really help occasionally, as long as they are given enough benefits.
But this is tantamount to raising tigers, and the entire tribe has voluntarily become a slave of a high-level spirit beast, which is terrifying when you think about it. On the mainland, human beings strive to compete with spirit beasts for living space and resources, and kill as many spirit beasts as possible when conditions permit.
And in remote places, there are humans who regard spirit beasts as gods. Thinking of this, Du Qian couldn't help but smile bitterly twice, and understood why the magnetic bear hated sacrifices so much. Thinking that she had seen human sacrifice with her own eyes, and there were not many people in the Tianci tribe where she belonged, they all knew each other.
Seeing the people she knew with her own eyes kneeling on the altar, stretching out her own hand and digging out her heart and liver to sacrifice to the so-called gods, what a spiritual impact it had to bring her. If it were a child who grew up in such an environment in a big city in Zhoushan, he would definitely have to be sent to a psychiatrist. It's really rare for a magnetic bear to be able to maintain its current personality in such an environment.
No wonder after this girl walked out of the tribe, she couldn't see that she was homesick at all, and asked her relatives to dig out their hearts and livers.
"Success? hehe...... Magnetic Bear sneered and didn't answer Du Qian's question.
"It's very low, so low that it makes people collapse, and it is said that there are some tribes whose gods have not performed miracles for hundreds of thousands of years, and such tribes will also hold sacrifices frequently, and they will boast about how powerful their tribe's gods are. Xi Yushan said in a somewhat mocking tone.
"Understand, if it is believed that the gods of the tribe no longer protect the tribe, they may not be able to continue to survive, right? "Du Qian doesn't know much about the tribe, but people's hearts are almost the same.
The three major forces show their muscles from time to time, especially Zhou Shan and Butian, they have to do something if they have anything to do, and the sacrifices in the tribe are essentially no different. On the contrary, everyone knows in their hearts that Zhenhai is the strongest, so Zhenhai is more low-key, and the more so, the more Zhou Shan and Butian dare not really provoke the Zhenhai Alliance.
As for those small forces, not to mention, if there is no caravan in Zhenhai, let alone development, even if they want to live the previous life, it is very difficult, where the caravan of Zhenhai passes, even if they make up the sky and Zhou Shan, they have to give some face, and the biggest enemy is the spirit beast.
Looking back and thinking about it carefully, not to mention, the silver snake on the top of his head is indeed somewhat similar to the gods in the tribe. There are a lot of requirements, very little return, when you are happy, I will show you its strength, when I am not happy, I don't know where to fly for a long time, whether it is the silver snake or the gods in the tribe, it is a group of wolves that are not well raised.
Thinking of this, Du Qian laughed again, it seemed that he had walked into a dead end. No matter how fierce the dog is, it can't fight the wolves in the wild, can you still expect that the weak chickens of the tribe really raise a strong and obedient 'god'?
Isn't that?
Another piece of purple silver was thrown into the clouds, with the topic of sacrifices and gods, Du Qian was also a little tired, the silver snake was not easy to seduc, and it was not easy to offer, as soon as he thought of the living sacrifice in the Tianci tribe, Du Qian's mind of wanting to subdue a silver snake was even lighter.
Forget it, there is no way to get it, at most I will hide from this time and try not to meet Mo Qianyan and the veterans. Don't look at the veteran's dusty atmosphere, he really looks like a veteran, but he has the strength to kill himself, and it is safer for such a person to keep a certain distance from him.
Since knowing the news of his parents' death in battle, in addition to the pain, Du Qian, who was only eight years old, warned himself that no matter what he wanted to do, he could only succeed if he was alive.
Many people believe that at the critical moment, they should fight together. For such a point of view, Du Qian can only hehehe, 'fight' can only fight under the premise of being sure, and the gamblers who are half open, and those who have three points of chance are crazy.
It's not a mythical story, if you really think you're the protagonist, you're sure to win every time? From the time you embark on the path of cultivation to the peak, how many times do you have to fight?
If it's a hundred times, even if you win ninety-nine times, it's useless, and once you will lose your life.
There is a ridiculous folk saying, called I can't beat you, but I can live past you, and the one who survives wins.
Although it is a little funny, it contains a truth that Du Qian recognizes. (To be continued.) )
