The sacrifices of the First Era were actually human sacrifices.
At that time, the Burial Immortal Star still followed this ancient tradition, but King Zhou had a lot of headaches in order to abolish this tradition.
During the Great Sacrifice, the object of sacrifice is usually heaven.
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 that started after the death of the Old Emperor and the rise of Destiny in the First Era.
It stands to reason that no one likes this kind of thing.
It just so happens that people in the First Age accepted this kind of thing.
Living people are used as sacrifices, and not everyone is qualified to be a sacrifice. Some beautiful or strong men are also required.
The sacrifices must be bathed and washed to be free from dust.
This kind of sacrifice is offered to heaven and earth, and it is not useless. Sometimes, after the sacrifice, heaven and earth will indeed bless you.
The reason why the destiny of the fifth era likes to eat people and wants to feed them in return, in the final analysis, comes from the first era.
Because in the first era, human beings would be sacrificed to heaven, earth and destiny!
There are also sacrifices from the Fifth Age, but there are very few, and there is simply not enough to eat.
That's why Tianming took the initiative to look for food, and even cultivated a cannibalistic race like the undead clan in the Nine Holy Lands.
In the end, they actually wanted to sacrifice.
Just changed the form.
In the First Era, sacrifices are now even more fanatical. 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.
For example, a part of an arm, or a head.
Moreover, the sacrifice process was very cruel and bloody.
In order to make the sacrificer die slower, the skin of the sacrificer will be pulled off bit by bit, and then the sacrificer will be allowed to approach the bronze cauldron and other vessels with blood.
Forged with heavenly fire, melting flesh and blood.
Although it is said to be a sacrifice, it is actually not much different from a punishment.
The Palace of Heaven and Humanity is very close to the Destiny of the First Era, and is also very keen on offering sacrifices.
The proposal for this sacrifice is currently said to have been proposed by the Palace of Heaven and Humanity.
Of course, it is actually difficult to tell whether this was proposed by Da Qian and others in the Bagua, or by the Palace of Heaven and Humanity.
"You're right, Da Gan and the others are really going to cause trouble." Jin Tian'er came to see Luo Chen as soon as he received the news.
Obviously, this time's big sacrifice is not a small-scale sacrifice, but a large-scale one.
"They are smart. Killing people directly will arouse public outrage, but offering sacrifices is different." Luo Chen said.
This is true. If you are offering sacrifices and killing people, then not only should the person not resist, but you should also feel happy.
In other words, there is no reason to resist!
"But why would the king agree to the big sacrifice?"
"The big sacrifice is at least tens of thousands of people." Xie Ji frowned.
"The king also wants to kill some outstanding people, such as those who forced them to kill people in the first place!" Luo Chen was not surprised.
"Those people, I guess, will soon become sacrifices."
If you kill someone for the reason of sacrifice, the person who is killed will not find any reason to be dissatisfied.
Because this is a sacrifice, it is glorious.
"Da Gan and the others need an explanation. They can't seek revenge from the king, and can't they kill people to vent their anger?"
"But directly killing people will cause public outrage. After all, the name is not justified. Now that we hold a big sacrifice, it is naturally justified."
"In addition, the king is also dissatisfied with some people. After all, forcing the king to kill people, how can there be no price?"
"So the two sides hit it off immediately and committed murder in the name of sacrifice." Luo Chen said.
"Who will pick the sacrifice this time?" Luo Chen asked.
"Dagan, them, and the king will choose them personally." Ming Qi sighed.
"Then isn't it obvious that this is just an excuse to kill people? Is there anything strange about it?" Luo Chen said.
"I'm curious, don't you resist the sacrifice?" Luo Chen asked again.
This thing is not difficult to see. Although not everyone can see the fishiness in it, there are always some people who can.
Isn’t this still resistance?
"Sacrifice will not be for individuals, but for the tribe, which will make the tribe more united."
"So the reason is really high-sounding."
"So no one will resist, because once they resist, they are resisting the entire tribe." Ming Qi explained.
When Luo Chen heard this, he felt that feudal ideas really killed people, and the rulers really knew how to play.
In this way, whoever is displeasing to you will be made a sacrifice. If you dare to resist, then you are not rebelling against the ruler, but against the entire group.
Not only is the reason great, it can also eradicate dissidents.
"The sacrifice has begun." Huo Fei suddenly came over and said.
"Go take a look." Luo Chen stood up.
Then he and everyone headed to the center of Juelong City.
There is already a tall altar there now.
There were already many people standing around.
At this moment, an old man had already stepped up.
"Isn't that the old man who took the lead in asking Wang to kill someone?" Luo Chenchuan sent a message to several people.
Ming Qi and the others looked gloomy, while Jin Tianer clenched his fists tightly.
That old man was the first person who stood up and asked Wang to kill her when Da Zhen wanted to invade her.
"Jin Hu Zhang Lao." Jin Tian'er ran over uncontrollably at this moment.
There was a commotion in the crowd.
"What are you doing here? Get back!" Old Man Jin Hu said.
"Tell me a few words." Jin Tian'er rushed directly to the sacrificial platform at this moment.
At this moment, a middle-aged man stood proudly on the sacrificial platform. The man was wearing white clothes and looked very clean.
And there is always a vague aura of heaven between the eyebrows.
This should be the big move of the leader of the Eight Diagrams.
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 very smart and didn't say anything.
On the contrary, other people looked at Jin Tianer, especially the people in Jinbu.
"Princess, this is a sacrifice and cannot be blasphemed. Please come down."
"Princess, don't be so wild!"
Voices sounded one after another, all urging Jin Tian'er to come down.
"Allow me to have a few words with Elder Hu." Jin Tian'er was also anxious.
Then she strode up to Jin Hu and spoke in a low voice.
"Elder Jinhu, can't you see that this is a settlement of accounts?"
"This is killing you in the name of sacrifice, why did you agree to be the sacrifice?" Jin Tian'er became anxious.
"Princess, do you think I can't see it?"
"But, so what?" Jin Hu said with a low smile.
"Should I resist? The Five Elements Department is in danger now. Do I still want to resist the king?"
"Let other tribes see us as disunited, or are we just laughing at the king?"
"That way, the Five Elements Department will collapse first without encountering danger." "If my death can bring about the survival of the Five Elements Department, and it's just one death, why should I be afraid?"
