Chapter 537: Witch God Civilization

After finishing speaking, she looked up at the giant gate above her head: "If we are not mistaken, this place is likely to be the mother temple of the ancient Chu ancestors, the ghost gate we saw is actually the gate of the mother temple, and many clansmen live in the cave outside the mother temple, so after analysis, there are three different guesses!" ”

First, the ancient Chu ancestors guarded here to protect something in the ghost gate, for the purpose of protection.

Second, the ancient Chu ancestors monitored this place in order to imprison the ancients who made mistakes in ancient times, for the purpose of detaining them.

Third, the ancient Chu ancestors settled here, with the high media mother temple as the center, leading the people to live, but with the change of the environment of the descendants, they gradually moved away from here, this place was abandoned, the myth of the ghost gate of the hidden capital, what is described, is likely to be the story of the ancient Chu ancestors living in the cave here.

In either case, it at least shows that the ancient Chu ancestors once established a complete tribe here, and even their era was earlier than the pre-Qin era, which is likely to be traced back to the flood era before the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, then, the name of the ancient Chu ancestors is completely wrong, it should be that there was a witch sacrifice first and then there was an ancient Chu, and the ancient Chu culture was inherited from the witch sacrifice culture.

The root of witch sacrifice culture in Song Siyuan's heart is constantly tightened, and it has become clearer and clearer in her mind over the years:

In ancient times, there was no distinction between witch gods, and the ancestors took natural objects such as mountains, rivers, rivers, and trees as gods, good as gods, and evil as ghosts, and sacrificed ghosts and gods with prayers and witch blessings, so as to pray for ghosts and gods to help them with divine power, so as to form a witch god civilization, and use witch sacrifice culture to guide production.

Then the Xia, Shang and Zhou eras came, and the primitive society changed to a slave society.

In the Xia and Shang periods, the belief in witch sacrifice also evolved into religion and royal power to rule the world together, during this period, the Xia Dynasty and Yin Shang advocated living sacrifices, tortoiseshell divination, although there was royal power, but all big and small things had to be divined and asked the sky, and the sacrifice to the gods shifted from guiding production to praying for divine revelations, leaving countless sacrificial rituals and witch sacrifice secrets.

After the Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Tianzi cut off the wild gods and ghosts, replaced the human martyrdom with six animals, and at the same time only took the ancestors as gods, known as the ancestors of the heavens.

Here, the Wushen civilization and the beliefs of the Chu people combined to form the ancient Chu culture, and these people were also the ancestors of the ancient Chu.

Later, the Qin Dynasty unified the countries, respected the eight gods of Qilu, and regarded the ancient Chu culture that originated from the witch god civilization as an obscene shrine, and their suppression of the ancient Chu culture also made the ancient Chu culture disappear rapidly, and the only culture flowed to various places and survived with various primitive cultures.

"We have always thought that this is the ancestors of ancient Chu, but in fact, they should be the ancestors of the witch god, the ancient ancestors who had the belief in the witch god thousands of years ago or even ten thousand years ago."

Yue Guanchao listened to what she said, his mind couldn't turn around, and he frowned: "Song Qianjin, the more you talk about this, the more outrageous it becomes, what do you mean These ancestors in the cave are actually here to hide from the disaster!" ”

"Yes!"

Song Siyuan became more and more firm in her thoughts, and looked at everyone to affirm the opinion of the vulgar martial artist: "Yes, I came to escape the disaster, when we went to Wuqi Town, we heard Ah Ying's parents talk about the history of their ethnic group. ”

The ancestors of the Sushen people came to the Great Khing'an Mountains very early, if the Sushen culture came from the local area, there is no need to use these words, since this word to explain the roots, indicating that the birthplace of the Sushen ancestors is not in the local area - they originally entered the Great Xing'an Mountains as guests, and then merged with the local primitive beliefs to produce the Sushen Wu culture!

In this way, it is very easy to explain why they can see the images of mountain ghosts, Shao Si Ming, Da Si Ming, and river gods in Wu Coffin Town, whether it is the ten gods of the ancient Chu culture, or the twelve gods of the Su Shen culture, or the witch Gu culture of the three southwestern provinces, in fact, they are all remnants of the ancient witch god civilization and the remnants of the nature god worship, which are the variant culture formed by them after they were scattered by the orthodox civilization!

Song Siyuan discussed with them until now, and her thinking became clearer and clearer: "From this point of view, the witch god civilization is indeed avoiding the encirclement and suppression of the god civilization, so that there are their shadows in the east to the coast, north to the forest, and west to Sichuan and Hunan provinces. ”

Her eyes flashed, and she felt more and more that she was close to the truth: "The Central Plains, that is, what the ancients called the world of Kyushu, what is outside Kyushu, it is the barbarian Rong Di, the barbarian alien race that is not civilized, it can be said that the witch god civilization has been in a state of encirclement and suppression since the end of the Xia and Shang periods, and it may be because of this reason that the ancient witches wanted to avoid disasters in this kind of place." ”

"Sister, why is the Witch God Civilization being surrounded and suppressed? Is it because you like to be martyred? ”

Ren Peacock's ancestor may have been surrounded and suppressed by the god civilization, and she became curious about these things.

Song Siyuan didn't think that martyrdom was a big deal, she explained: "It has nothing to do with martyrdom, the Zhou Dynasty just abolished human martyrdom, and still had to martyr a large number of livestock. ”

"What they are afraid of is actually the replacement of royal power by divine power!"
