Chapter 610 The sacrifices of various countries
During the period of system debugging, there were quite a few statues of gods in Chang'an City that appeared and faded in and out of glory, especially the one at the headquarters of Ming Zun Holy Cult. It lit up like a big light bulb for a long time before it stopped. The believers and Ming Zun
The scene of the soldiers of the Zun Sheng Sect kneeling on the ground and chanting scriptures does not have to be a business trip in Tai Chi Palace.
Did Xianyu turn over? Li Mingda suddenly realized that the future battle would be more cruel than he expected.
Just like Li Mingda guessed
For example, the Acropolis of Athens in ancient Greece is thousands of miles away from Chang'an City. Thousands of craftsmen gathered here. They inherited the name of Alexander from the descendants of the new leader Alexander the Great and the new emperor of Byzantium, Constans II.
At the request of the emperor, the temple was renovated and prayed for the protection of Ares, the Greek god of war.
After their new monarch Alexander, the monarch of the Persian Empire Bahram, and the original controller of Byzantium, Constans II, who had just succeeded to the throne in 11 years, completed the counterattack against the Black Eclipse and recaptured the two parts.
The territory of the original Roman Empire, the two met during the war.
The relationship between Alexander and Constans II was very delicate, and the ministers below did not know why the two reached perfect cooperation.
Alexander is less than 20 years old
Constans II was only 12 years old
It is obviously impossible for him to be a father and a son, nor is it possible for him to be a brother. The two look different, and they even suspected their relationship for a while, but there is no clue.
With the continuous repairs of the temple, the repair work of the temple of Ares, the god of war, is almost completed, and the servants of the god are in the Byzantine Empire itself.
After the repairs are completed
Under the joint witness of both parties, a large-scale sacrifice was carried out in the temple of Ares, and some prisoners of war dressed in black and rich in food were pulled down in front of the temple and sacrificed together with the sacrificial cattle and sheep.
Ancient sacrifices were so simple and crude. As the ceremony of sacrifice began, the stone statue of Ares, the god of war, began to fluoresce.
Such an unusual sight shocked everyone present. After many years, the temple once again performed miracles.
"Great God of War Ares, you have finally returned to this land"
"Great God, I pray for your protection"
"God, I praise you"
"...."
Countless voices of praise, accompanied by poetry, began to echo in the temple of Ares, as if responding to his own believers, and the radiance of the gods began to become brighter.
Alexander and Constans II stood at the front of the statue. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the statue.
When the sacrifice was about to end, the statue of Ares, the god of war, emitted two faint rays of light and absorbed them into their bodies.
Alexander and Constans II felt an inexplicable force inside their bodies, as if their bodies were as strong as cattle. The two men who were originally wearing heavy plate armor became much lighter.
This is God's gift
Revitalization of the New Roman Empire is just around the corner
After the sacrifice, the two held each other's hands and hugged each other.
"Brothers"
"Brothers"
The two of them felt each other's suddenly stronger body, and they had a guess in their hearts: What would happen if this power was given to themselves?
Bahram, the leader of the new Persian Empire, although he did not regain most of his territory, he combined with Alexander and Constans II to launch an effective joint counterattack, but still regained some of his territory and took control of the war.
partial initiative.
Bahram has a deep understanding of how powerful the black-clad warriors of the entire era are. Now relying on their temporary victory is obviously not enough. What he needs is the support of the most powerful potential ally in this era.
Needing help from some gods is like coming to this era by myself.
Almost at the same time, Bahram carried out sacrificial activities to Bahram, the military god in his Persian mythology.
First, according to the mysterious prompts, Ra's temple was repaired, new sacrifices were recruited, and a suitable time was chosen to carry out large-scale sacrifice activities.
Inside the temple of Bahram
The priests and their attendants knelt on both sides to chant the verses. Bahram knelt in front of the military god Bahram and recited the mysterious verses religiously.
While reciting the scriptures, the waiter in charge of the sacrifice brought the prisoners of war in black clothes from the side. Just like the sacrifice to Ares, the god of war, the god of war presided over the battle. The needs were not very different. Each of the cattle and sheep prisoners of war needed a beautiful woman.
While the scriptures were being recited, two eyes on the god of war, Bahram, emitted light. After scanning the temple, the light fell on Bahram, who was kneeling in front of him.
Two rays of light shot out from the two eyes and entered Bahram's eyes. Bahram's eyes became extremely dazzling as the light was absorbed.
Bahram felt more powerful
And even when facing the enemy's hundreds of thousands of troops, he still had the courage to face it. At the same time, he suddenly had a new way of thinking about the current situation.
They are not the only ones doing sacrificial activities.
Egypt
The ancient empire that had disappeared also ushered in its own new life. The new pharaoh appeared as the successor of Tutankhamun, leading them to achieve independence and usher in a new era.
After completing his independence and completing his rule as a pharaoh, Tutankhamun began his next step. He resurrected himself as a sacrifice - a jackal head, and his human image appeared in the pharaoh's murals. He was the Egyptian king.
Among the Nine Pillars, Anubis, the god of death, is the son of Set, the desert/storm god, and Nephthys, the funerary goddess.
The appearance of the Egyptian temple and other temples is very similar to that of Rome. They all have the same type of columns. They are the product of cultural fusion between the two sides.
After all, ancient Egypt perished a long time ago, so it is normal for the religious styles to be similar.
Accompanied by the playing of Egypt's unique sacrificial instruments, the ancient Egyptian sacrificial rituals began, and sacrificial offerings, spices, fruits, food, and sacrificial livestock were placed under the jackal-headed statue of Anubis.
At Tutankhamen's special request, the sacrifice also used the special needs of ancient Egypt. Several slaves were led in front of the statue, their hearts were taken out and placed on the brass scales under the statue.
The beating heart is placed on top, the death's sickle held by the statue of Anubis shines with a cold light, and the heart on the scale is divided into two.
After several sacrifices were placed in succession, it was considered complete. Tutankhamun, who had obtained the power of Anubis, the God of Death, wielded his own sickle of the same type as the God of Death.
"Thanks to the protection of the great god of death, Anubis, your followers will spread your glory to every corner of the earth."
Various sacrifices around the world were opened one after another. According to the original trajectory, the black-clad senior officials who should have overturned the entire Mediterranean region gathered in their own temples.
