Great festival!
The sacrifices in the first era were actually sacrifices of living people.
At that time, the burial star still followed this ancient tradition, and King Zhou had a lot of headaches in order to abolish this tradition.
In the big sacrifice, the object of sacrifice is usually the sky.
Human sacrifice was not uncommon in any ancient era.
The first era was even more keen on this kind of thing, and the custom of offering sacrifices was a custom after the death of the old emperor in the first era and the rise of destiny.
It stands to reason that no one likes this kind of thing.
People in the First Era accepted this kind of thing.
Use living people to sacrifice, and not everyone is qualified to be a sacrifice, and some beautiful or strong men are necessary.
The sacrificial offering must be bathed and washed clean, free from dust.
This kind of sacrifice is offered to the heaven and the earth, and it is not useless. Sometimes, after the sacrifice, the heaven and the earth will indeed bless.
The reason why the fifth era's destiny likes to eat people and wants to feed back, in the final analysis, this is still from the first era.
Because the first era will sacrifice living people to heaven, earth and destiny!
There are also sacrifices in the fifth era, but there are very few, and there is simply not enough to eat.
That's why Tianming took the initiative to forage for food, and even cultivated a human-eating race like the Undead Clan among the Nine Great Holy Lands.
In the end, they were actually still offering sacrifices.
Just changed the form.
In the first era, sacrifices are now more fanatical, and many people even like to take part of the limbs cut off by the sacrificer, engrave their names on them, bury them in the backyard, or hang them on the front door.
Like part of an arm, or a head.
And the sacrifice process is very cruel and bloody.
In order to let the sacrificer die more slowly, the sacrificer's skin will be pulled out little by little, and then the sacrificer will be **** approached into the bronze cauldron and other vessels.
Tempered with sky fire, let the flesh and blood melt.
It is said that it is a sacrifice, but it is not much different from a punishment.
The Palace of Heaven and Humanity is very close to the Mandate of Heaven of the First Era, and it is also very keen on offering sacrifices.
And this proposal of sacrifice is currently said to be proposed by the Palace of Heaven and Humanity.
Of course, it is actually hard to say whether this was proposed by Dagan and others in the gossip, or whether it was the Palace of Heaven and Humanity.
"You're really right, Dagan and they are really going to mess with it." Jin Tian'er came to Luo Chen as soon as he received the news.
Obviously, the big sacrifice this time is not a small-scale sacrifice, but a large-scale one.
"They are smart. Killing people directly will cause public anger, but it is different for priests." Luo Chen said.
This is true, if a priest wants to kill someone, not only should he not resist, but he should also be happy.
Or there is no reason to resist!
"But why would the king agree to the great sacrifice?"
"The big sacrifice is at least tens of thousands of people." Xie Ji frowned.
"The king also wants to kill some early birds, such as those who forced them to kill!" Luo Chen was not surprised.
"Those people, I guess they will become sacrifices soon."
Killing people on the grounds of sacrifice, the people who were killed could not find any reason to be dissatisfied.
Because this is sacrifice, it is honorable.
"Dagan and they need an explanation. They can't seek revenge from the king, can't they kill people to vent their anger?"
"However, killing people directly will cause public outrage. After all, if the name is not justified, it will be justified if there is a big sacrifice now."
"In addition, the king is also dissatisfied with some people. After all, there is no price for forcing the king to kill people?"
"So the two sides hit it off immediately, and committed murder in the name of sacrifice." Luo Chen said.
"Who will choose the sacrifice this time?" Luo Chen asked.
"Let Dagan them, and Wang personally choose." Ming Qi sighed.
"Then isn't this obviously an excuse to kill someone? What's so strange about it?" Luo Chen said.
"I'm curious, don't you resist the sacrifice?" Luo Chen asked again.
This matter is not difficult to see, although not everyone can see the tricks in it, but there are always some people who can.
Doesn't this still resist?
"Sacrifice will not be for the individual, but for the tribe, which will make the tribe more united."
"So this reason is really high-sounding."
"So no one will resist, because once they resist, they are resisting the whole tribe." Ming Qi explained.
When Luo Chen heard this, he felt that feudal ideology really killed people, and that the rulers really knew how to play.
In this way, whoever is not pleasing to the eye, let the other party become a sacrifice. If you dare to resist, then it is not against the ruler, but against the entire group.
Not only is the reason high, but it can also eradicate dissidents.
"The sacrifice has already begun." Huo Fei suddenly ran over and said.
"Go and have a look." Luo Chen stood up.
Then he went to the center of Absolute Dragon City with everyone.
At this moment, there is already a tall sacrificial altar there.
Many people were already standing around.
At this moment, an old man has already stepped up.
"Isn't that the old man who took the lead who asked Wang to kill?" Luo Chenchuan sent a voice transmission to several people.
Ming Qi and the others looked gloomy, and Jin Tian'er clenched his fists tightly.
That old man was the first person who stood up and asked Wang to kill him when Da Zhen wanted to violate her.
"Jin Hu Zhang Lao." Jin Tian'er ran over uncontrollably at this moment.
There was a commotion among the crowd.
"What are you doing here, step back!" the old man Jinhu said.
"Say a few words with me." Jin Tian'er rushed directly onto the sacrificial altar.
At this moment, on the sacrificial altar, stood proudly a middle-aged man. The man was wearing white clothes and looked very clean.
And there is always a faint breath of heaven between the brows.
This should be the head of the gossip.
At this moment, he looked at Jin Tian'er coldly. During this kind of sacrifice, it would be disrespectful for Jin Tian'er to go up to the sacrifice.
But he was smart enough not to speak.
On the contrary, other people looked at Jin Tian'er, especially the Jinbu people.
"Princess, this is a sacrificial offering, no desecration is allowed, please come down."
"Princess, don't be so aggressive!"
Voices sounded one after another, all urging Jin Tian'er to come down.
"Let me have a few words with Elder Hu." Jin Tian'er was also anxious.
Then she strode up to Jin Hu and said in a low voice.
"Elder Jin Hu, can't you see that this is the post-autumn settlement?"
"This is to kill you in the name of sacrifice, why do you still agree to be a sacrifice?" Jin Tian'er was anxious.
"Princess, do you think I can't see it?"
"But, so what?" Jin Hu smiled wryly in a low voice.
"Should I resist? The Department of the Five Elements is now in jeopardy. Do I still have to resist the king?"
"Let the other tribes see that we are not united, or that they see the king's joke?"
"That way, the Five Elements Department will collapse without encountering any danger." "If my death can be exchanged for the survival of the Five Elements Department, what is there to fear?"
