Zuoqiu Junyi laughed dryly, "I suddenly remembered something and wanted to remind you."
"Huh?" Yu Xian didn't believe that this old guy was so kind.
Zuoqiu Junyi said nervously, "Think about it, how was Luoyi discovered in the first place?"
Yu Xian lowered his head and thought about it, his expression slightly changed.
Wasn't the reason why Luoyi's secret was discovered in the first place because the Bingzhou soldiers who were responsible for besieging the five-color sacred cow suddenly discovered that the demon had escaped their siege and wandered around somewhere?
At that time, in order to facilitate his escape, Yu Xian deliberately lured the five-color sacred cow here and there, and then took advantage of the time difference to escape calmly.
But in this way, Bingzhou soldiers' scouts who were sent out from afar discovered clues.
Eventually, the incident in Luoyi Ghost Town came to light.
Now that the five-color sacred cow is chasing him again, will the Bingzhou soldiers who are responsible for defending them still be far behind?
Will other forces also be aware of it?
Yu Xian quickly said to Guan Hai, "No. The five-color sacred cow is here. I'm afraid this place will be exposed! We have to leave quickly!"
Guan Hai naturally obeyed Yu Xian's orders.
Cai Wenji, who had been silent until now, suddenly said, "If someone really discovers this place, I'm afraid things over there in Luoyi won't be able to be hidden. I see that those people are very organized in presiding over etiquette, and they obviously have some skills."
.They just haven’t turned around for a while. When they see that there is another city, I am afraid they will soon understand their misunderstanding.”
Yu Xian's heart sank. If those people discovered the clues, he might lose everything.
With his current strength, he is not qualified to challenge these forces.
In addition, there are five-colored sacred cows outside that are watching eagerly, so my chances of winning are almost non-existent.
Yu Xian thought together and said decisively, "No, we have to move forward with the scene over there as soon as possible. If what I guessed is true, the scene over there will only continue when the scene over there moves. At least we won't lose both ends."
Having said this, Yu Xian looked at Cai Wenji and asked solemnly, "If it is a ceremony for the Yin people, what etiquette should be used?"
Cai Wenji pursed her lips and said, "It was a human sacrifice."
"Human martyrdom?" Yu Xian couldn't believe his ears.
Cai Yan said seriously, "Yes. The Yin and Shang Dynasties were a very bloody and barbaric civilization. They sacrificed the internal organs, blood, and heads of human animals to their ancestors. My father once found sacrificial oracle bones nearby, and there were many in them.
Detailed records. He also found a tripod nearby with many cooked human heads in it..."
Yu Xian felt sick after hearing this.
He said in disbelief, "How is that possible?"
Zuoqiu Junyi laughed and said, "How is it impossible? It was an era where witches and ghosts were favored. Merchants believed in the gods of their ancestors. In order to obtain the powerful power given by their ancestors, their kings needed to sacrifice a lot. And they not only had to sacrifice their own ancestors.
, even the ancestors of the nobles must be sacrificed in order to obtain their blessings."
"In this way, those noble officials would not dare to rebel without someone's protection. Back then, Pan Geng threatened those untamed nobles. Don't think that your dead ancestors will help you, because they are all by my late king's side, and they will enjoy it.
You have received my sacrifice, so you will give priority to protecting me, Pan Geng, and will not condone you!"
"The merchant king needs to hold many large-scale sacrifices every year, and the most important one is the slaughter of 3,000 people and animals. Therefore, the major affairs of the country are only sacrifices and Rong. They need constant sacrifices to obtain the power of witches and ghosts.
In order to obtain fresh flesh and blood and sacrifices, we have to constantly conquer everywhere!"
Yu Xian was speechless when he heard this.
"Could it be that to promote the scene over there, people need to die?"
Wang Li hesitated for a moment and said, "If relying on human sacrifice can advance the plot, then there are so many people in Luoyi, why can't they complete a ceremony?"
Yu Xian felt that this was correct and quickly looked at Cai Wenji and Zuoqiu Junyi.
Zuoqiu Junyi thought for a while and said uncertainly, "Maybe the specifications of the sacrifices are not enough. Different objects have different level requirements for sacrifices. Maybe they can't get enough sacrifices."
"A sufficient sacrifice?" Yu Xian asked suspiciously, "Does it mean that many people have to be killed?"
"That's not true. The key is to look at the specifications of the sacrifice. The best sacrifice is of course the merchant king. When the Shang Dynasty established its foundation, there was a seven-year drought. Shang Tang tried his best to sacrifice to the gods and ghosts in heaven.
, there was no way. In the end, Shang Tang offered himself as a sacrifice to God in the mulberry forest, and then God was moved and it rained heavily. The next best thing was the princes from all over the world, or their sons. At that time, Zhou Wen
The king's son Boyikao was chopped into meat paste by merchants as a sacrifice to his ancestors, and Guihou was chopped into dried meat and eaten. These were sacrifices of sufficient weight. In order to reward the loyalty of the king of Zhou, the then king of Zhou also
I gave some of the meat from Boyikao to Ji Chang."
After all, it was part of the Chinese civilization. It was a little hard for Yu Xian to accept that the Yin and Shang era were so barbaric.
Seeing the shock on Yu Xian's face, Zuoqiu Junyi couldn't help but asked in confusion, "Aren't you a disciple of Heming Mountain? You should have some understanding of the methods of these witches and ghosts."
Hemingshan Taoist Palace is inextricably linked to the Witch Ghost Tao in Sichuan. The mother of the sect Zhang Lu was the only daughter of the great wizard of the previous generation.
Nowadays, the Way of Witches and Ghosts has become a serious practice direction in Heming Palace.
Yu Xian had just become a disciple when he was snatched out of the mountain by Guan Hai. He really didn't know much about these things.
He glanced at Zuoqiu Junyi lightly and said, "You're quite clear about what I'm asking about."
Zuoqiu Junyi coughed lightly, "After all, I was a great national master before. This is not a secret."
Yu Xian was too lazy to care about this, he frowned and said, "But if this happens, what should I do?"
Yu Xian would never consider such a thing as human sacrifice. Not to mention that he couldn't find a sacrifice of sufficient weight at this moment. Even if he could find one, it would violate Yu Xian's moral conscience.
Zuoqiu Junyi looked at Yu Xian with evil intentions, "If you ask us, there is nothing we can do. After all, it seems that this ghost town only responds to 'a certain person'. Maybe that person is a good sacrifice."
Yu Xian's heart sank.
Damn it, you won't be fooled by this mean-mouthed old guy.
Hey, wait!
Yu Xian suddenly remembered his silver gourd.
The body of the silver gourd was Leizu's lungs, and a moment of the past was refined into it.
This is the royal city of Luoyang, and there must be many descendants of King Wen of Zhou.
So can we use this gourd to take away a noble enough Zhou person from this past scene?
Although this is unbelievable, it may not be impossible!
