Chapter 32: The Sacrifice of the Jurchens
The new book "The Legend of Cultivating Immortals in the Infinite World" asks for support......
The Yin Division of the City God, which was already in turmoil, was hit like this, and the entire City God emitted a fire like electricity leakage everywhere. Then there was a rumbling noise, and large sections of the city walls collapsed, and countless buildings in them were directly reduced to rubble. Countless defenders around were affected by the pond fish, and they were all suddenly exploded, turning into a cloud of black gas.
After this blow, the dragon qi also exploded, and where the light shone, the war spirits who had died on the ground were revived again, and even the various injuries on the bodies of those remaining war spirits were all replenished.
Then I saw that in the bright light, on both sides of the city wall that rose and fell with the mountains and winded like dragons, countless warriors slain out. They wore different colors, from the black armor and battle robes of the Qin Dynasty to the armor of the Tang Dynasty warriors, and the soldiers of all dynasties seemed to have poured out. No one knows how many there are, and they are surging up with the overwhelming momentum of that rising tide.
Mai Gong laughed: "Sons, we have won this battle, and we will work hard to make meritorious achievements!" ......
Wu Qimai is also dancing, since two years ago he inherited his elder brother Akuta as Emperor of the Jin Kingdom. He also inherited the position of the patriarch of the Wanyan tribe as a wizard.
It's just that unlike his elder brother who has been favored by the Immortal Heaven, he is not so powerful and can communicate with the power of the Immortal Heaven.
But as a great shaman, in this time of confusion, he still had to dance the shamanic dance handed down from his ancestors. Trying to communicate with Changshengtian and give him guidance.
Now, they're just getting stronger. As it continued to expand, the luck that was originally hotter than the fire began to wilt a little.
Especially when he received a distant place, that legend, he had tens of thousands of times richer than the Liao State. It has countless snow-white and delicate porcelain, as well as all kinds of smooth silks, and even has things that other Jurchens dream of and only think are in the sky.
and the leader of the previous generation of his Wanyan Division. The first emperor of the Jin State, which had just been established by the Jurchens, was different.
Aguta has some awe for the country called the Great Song Dynasty in the distance, and even after knowing that this country and the Liao State are feuding. I also thought of sending someone to contact the Great Song Dynasty and attack the Liao people together.
But Wu Qimai was different, he was bent on going south again after destroying the Liao State. Destroy this Great Song as well.
In addition to the incredible richness of the country. More importantly. Aguta felt the will of the Immortal Heaven before his death, and the country was angry with the Immortal Heaven. Therefore, the immortal genius bestowed on their little Jurchen Wanyan to give them luck, make them strong, and finally destroy that country.
Wu Qimai is convinced of this, not only Aguta's deathbed confession. It was also after Wu Qimai himself took over as the Great Wizard, and when he had a high fever that night, he vaguely felt the same will.
As long as there is the protection of the Immortal Heaven, then the Liao Kingdom with a million troops will be defeated by them. Not to mention the Song State that couldn't defeat the Liao State.
However, it is not known when it will start. One qiē has changed. It seems that Changshengtian has changed his mind and no longer seems to want to destroy the Song Kingdom. And Changshengtian doesn't seem to be favoring their Dajin Kingdom either, they are finished.
Not long ago, Wu Qimai saw the south, the direction of Nanjing Road in the Liao Kingdom was dazzling, and a phosgene rushed straight to the sky.
Since then, Wu Qimai has never felt the will of the Immortal Heaven again.
Soon, news came from a fast horse. The Heavenly Master of the Great Song Dynasty actually personally led the people and horses into Youzhou City.
This news shook the hearts of the entire newly established Dajin Shangxin, who had just defeated the Liao State with great difficulty, and had just been able to enjoy the jewels and beauties that only the original Khitan nobles could enjoy, and all kinds of fine wine and delicacies. There is no interest in fighting again with a country that is more powerful than Liao!
In fact, in history, the speed of corruption of the Jurchens is as jaw-dropping as the speed at which they rise. In the original history, they had not completely defeated the Liao State, and most of the Jurchens had begun to corrupt and degenerate, enjoying the lives of those Khitan nobles they once hated.
If it weren't for the fact that in the original modern time and space, the Great Song Dynasty was really too unbearable, and under the leadership of Tong Guan's eunuch, he couldn't even defeat Youzhou City, and even fought one bad battle after another, so that people could see that they were vulnerable soft persimmons, and many Jurchen high-level people had no interest in attacking the Great Song Dynasty at all.
And even after the Northern Song Dynasty was barely destroyed, those Jurchens were almost corrupted. The reason why the Jin Wushu in history couldn't wait to attack the Southern Song Dynasty several times was that they wanted to solve this opponent before the Jurchens completely declined.
Almost a hundred years later, in the face of the Mongol attack, these Jurchen people were much more cowardly than the Khitans they now look down upon.
The qiē that happened in front of him made Wu Qimai worried. Anything else is good to say, especially after that Heavenly Master came to the north, even Changshengtian changed his will and no longer blessed the Jurchens.
This gave rise to an extremely strong sense of crisis in his heart.
In any case, he wants to communicate with the Immortal Heaven and gain the favor of the Immortal Heaven again. Otherwise......
The ceremony was very solemn, and countless cattle, sheep and livestock, as well as all kinds of looted gold and silver treasures, silk and satin, were piled up on the high platform, thrown into the raging fire, and offered to the immortal heaven.
The Jurchen nobles kneeling on the ground whispered, and many were unimpressed.
After entering the Liao Kingdom, they were quickly influenced by the advanced spiritual civilization after being conquered by the advanced material civilization. Therefore, many people seem to be a little unimpressed with burning these treasures in vain.
But no one dares to say these things stupidly at this time, anyway, these treasures are all snatched from the hands of the Khitans, and it is a big deal to grab more in the future.
However, the original Confucian civil officials of the Liao State who had just taken refuge in the Jurchens shook their heads and sighed as barbaric for such sacrifices. It's just that these guys are unwilling to die for the Liao State, and naturally they can't be expected to go up and persuade them to do their loyalty for the Jurchens.
The whole sacrifice went on for two or three hours, and it was endless, and many people were hungry and kneeling on the ground, but they couldn't hold on.
Only the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, who was already old and frail, was extremely excited, dancing the shaman dance over and over again, wanting to communicate with the immortal heaven and obtain enlightenment.
Wu Qimai's age is not very old, but the lifespan of these people outside the Saiwai is not long. If you can live to be in your fifties, you will live a long life. The monotonous diet structure of too much meat, as well as the wind, frost, snow and rain outside the Sai, and the career of fighting and killing horses, make the average life expectancy of those people outside the Sai is only ten or twenty years old.
At Wu Qimai's current age, among the Jurchens, he has reached old age. The body looks quite strong, but the foundation has already been hollowed out.
At this time, after dancing for two or three hours in a row, they actually seemed extremely excited, and some Jurchen old people seemed worried.
"Sacrifice, sacrifice to me again! It must be because there are not enough sacrifices that you haven't moved the Immortal Heaven!
At the sound of the order, the Jurchens became a sensation. Although the Jurchens have just come out of the tribal era of slash-and-burn farming, it has been a long time since human sacrifice was abolished.
It is not a question of humanity, but that they practice slavery, and naturally know that the population is a great wealth. Even prisoners of war can be used as slaves, and they are extremely valuable assets.
However, at this time, as soon as the human sacrifice was called, not to mention those unprepared Jurchen nobles, even those Liao ministers, they were also in an uproar.
Not long after the founding of the Jurchens, they still retained the remnants of many tribal eras. Although more than ten years ago, Wanyan Aguta reorganized the huge council of the Jurchen people, which was extremely rich in the characteristics of the tribal era, in which the Dubo Jilie, the state minister, and each Bo Jilie participated, into a system in which the emperor and a few high-level core officials at the level of the minister of state discussed state affairs together.
Despite this, the Jurchens did not achieve that high degree of centralization within themselves, and it was not that Wu begged to buy a person who could cover the sky with one hand.
As soon as such a human sacrifice was exited, there was an uproar everywhere. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, suddenly a few old guys stood up and shouted: "What are you arguing about, have you forgotten the rules of our Jurchens?"
These old guys are not lost and oblique, they are all the elders of the Wanyan family in the original tribal era, although they have already stepped aside.
But he is still highly respected and has a very high prestige among the Jurchens, and at this moment he actually stood up and helped Wu Qimai speak, suppressing all opposing voices for a while.
"You rabbit cubs, you are stupid to follow those Liao people outside. Can those porcelain and silk be eaten as food? We Jurchens rely on the swords and guns in our hands and the favor of the immortal heavens to stand between the white mountains and black waters for countless years. Now it is under the favor of Changshengtian that the Liao Kingdom has been conquered.
What is the slave? When they are dead, they can rob again. As long as we have the favor of the Immortal Heaven, as long as we have swords and guns in our hands, what can't we grab? Have you all forgotten your roots? The souls of your ancestors are watching you in the embrace of the Immortal Heaven!"
These old guys came up to suppress their positions, and scolded them with their heads and faces, which shocked all the noisy Jurchens.
Soon a group of slaves were pulled up to the altar, their necks cut, and thrown into the fire as sacrifices to the heavens of immortality. (To be continued......)
