Wei Yuan looked at the bronze in his hand, with surprise and consternation in his eyes.
Is this resonance?
He tried calling King Bronze Lord of Shang, but received no response.
This also proves the current unexpected situation.
The consciousness of King Bronze Jue of Shang would fall into a deep sleep every time he resonated.
At this moment, the simple lines on the bronze knight slowly lit up, and the track on the Chaoge City map reappeared, and the other two ancient bronze artifacts also began to glow. Wei Yuan did not expect that this would happen to these three ancient bronze artifacts.
A situation of resonance.
Especially Su Yu'er, who is the 'key', and the bronze dagger are not here.
According to the original inference, without Su Yu'er and the sword, it would be impossible for the bronze to react. Could it be that there are some changes and hidden things that I couldn't see clearly last time?
Wei Yuan pondered for a moment and entered the quiet room with three pieces of bronze.
He raised his hand and laid out talismans to conceal his energy.
It seems that because his own aura was sealed in this small room, the agitation between the three bronze vessels became more and more intense. The simple lines on them lit up, and the green qi escaped and hit the wall.
, bounced back by the effect of the talisman.
The breaths continued to overlap, and eventually there was even a vast and majestic smell, as if it had turned into waves.
Standing in the blue waves, Wei Yuan finally felt where the thing that resonated with the bronze came from. He stretched out his hand, and the beads transformed by Sakurajima's divinity emerged. They were swept by the ripples of the bronze, and there was a feeling like steel.
Like a flame, it burns slowly, and what comes out makes the bronze vessel resonate even more intensely.
Is it divinity?
Wei Yuan thought thoughtfully, although this thing came from the geisha doll, it was originally the divinity that had gone through two thousand years. After the spirituality was erased, what was left was pure divinity, although it was small.
So, if you want to promote the resonance of bronze vessels, you need to burn gods as firewood?
It is indeed a Shang Dynasty style with sacrifices to ghosts and gods.
Wei Yuan quickly thought of the reason
These bronze vessels were cast in the late Shang Dynasty, and in the Shang Dynasty, sacrifices were made to ghosts, gods and ancestors.
The highest god in Shang Chao is called "God", which is the soul of the dead Shang King, and the one who is still alive is called "Xiadi". At that time, the gods of the Kunlun series had long since disappeared from the world.
Communicate with people.
At that time, it was normal for the things cast by King Shang, who was known as the 'Lord Emperor', to be opened with the power of ghosts and gods. Of course, this was obviously not a normal way to open it, but a tricky method, so it required the effort of completely burning the divinity.
A very high cost.
It's like...a catalyst.
Wei Yuan stretched out his hand and crushed the bead transformed by Sakurajima's divinity into pieces.
The divinity turned into light dust and flew into the bronze-colored flames, which stimulated the three bronze vessels to begin to tremble violently, as if something was about to appear from nothingness, and Wei Yuan thought of the last time Su Yu'er had poured his own blood into it.
dripped in, and her blood caused the bronze to resonate to an extremely high level.
Therefore, can we speculate that in Su Yuer's body, a high-ranking divinity from China is sleeping?
Wei Yuan's expression moved slightly, and at the cost of completely burning out Sakurajima's divinity, the bronze-like ripples suddenly converged, and the three bronze vessels were suspended in the air. The lines on them seemed to have turned into reality, exuding a mixture of bronze and gold.
Light, a bronze disk suspended in the center, water emerging from it.
Then, a picture suddenly appeared on the water.
It is still the same tall altar that we saw last time, but this time there are no people wearing simple clothes, standing on the steps praying and dancing, making the altar look a bit lonely, and because of the people praying before.
No one is here, so we can see the cracks on the altar, and guess that it must be extremely old and have gone through too many years.
Then, Wei Yuan saw a person walking staggeringly on the altar.
He was a man in his forties at least, with a strong and tall body, clearly full of powerful muscles, and black hair standing on end. He was wearing a robe that represented a sorcerer. But now he was out of his mind and came to the altar.
Suddenly he knelt down and placed his palms on the ground, smacking his forehead with a look of pain on his face:
"Gods above and below, if you really exist,"
"Then show yourself quickly. The people of Shang can no longer hold on..."
"The banished strange beasts from the mountains and seas appear more and more frequently."
"It's getting further and further away from the world."
He kept kowtowing, and the language he used was the one commonly used in China before the Western Zhou Dynasty. Wei Yuan could barely understand it, and his expression was slightly moved. He could confirm that the people living here were indeed the people of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
What he didn't expect at all was that the strange beasts from the Book of Mountains and Seas would frequently appear in the places where the survivors of the Yin and Shang Dynasties lived.
Is it because it is also located far away from the human world?
Emperor Xin tried to send Chaoge City and the area out of the human world, but ended up getting close to the world of mountains, seas and strange beasts?
At this time, the man kowtowed heavily in the end, clenched his palms tightly, and said in a choked voice: "Does it mean that we really have to start blood sacrifice and human sacrifice again, and sacrifice our own lives before you will respond?"
Blood sacrifice and human sacrifice were started again, that is to say, even in a closed place. Did the survivors of the Yin and Shang Dynasties still abolish the barbaric method of sacrifice and multiply it to the present? Wei Yuan captured the key information in these words, he
They want to help, but relying only on this bronze plate doesn't seem to be able to help them.
No, maybe give it a try.
At least we must prevent tragedies like blood sacrifice from happening again.
After thinking for a while, Wei Yuan stretched out his hand and tentatively touched the bronze plate.
……………………
Half a day ago.
In Chaoge City.
"What did you say?!"
Wu Yu glared at his close friend. He couldn't believe that those words came from his mouth. The man wearing armor and holding a spear was silent for a moment, but said in a calm tone: "That's it."
"I propose to reopen the ancient method of sacrifice, blood sacrifice."
Wu Yu said: "Why?!"
Feiyu replied: "You know."
He stared at Wu Yu with his eyes and said slowly: "In the past few hundred years, the strange beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas have appeared more and more frequently. Their power has not weakened at all, they are still as strong as ever.
, but what about us? Think about it, what about us?!"
Feiyu himself replied: "It's getting weaker and weaker."
"In these years, who else can practice to a high level?"
"We can no longer open the underground palace left by our ancestors. Each generation's qualifications and practice progress are constantly weakening. Even if we hunt exotic beasts and use their blood to sacrifice, the response we get is still better than ever.
After one mistake, it was obvious that the ghosts and gods were abandoning us."
"If this continues, one day we will not be able to kill even the weakest beasts. At that time, not a group of people will be killed, but all of them will be killed. Instead of that, it is better to abandon some people and sacrifice their blood to the ghosts and gods, and then exchange
The other group of people survive in exchange for the reproduction of the entire Chaoge."
Wu Yu said: "Abandon some people and then live in exchange for others?!"
"Who is going to die?! Who is going to be the sacrifice?!"
"Are you going to let us, Chaoge, fall into cannibalism? Propose this method, and then force others to die? This will cause chaos in the entire Chaoge City. I would rather fight to death with everyone, and Shanhai
I don’t want to fight with alien beasts..."
Feiyu replied: "I'll go."
Wu Yu suddenly choked on his words.
The tall Fei Yu said with a gentle expression: "We have already discussed it and it was us who proposed it, so we are going to make the first batch of sacrifices and restart the blood sacrifice from two thousand years ago to worship ghosts and gods."
"Perhaps you will think that relying on this method to survive is selfish and cruel, and it is better for everyone to fight and die together, and that may be true."
"However, the survival of civilization is higher than all this."
"Higher than cruelty, selfishness, and even higher than so-called human nature."
"If the current situation continues, Chaoge will become a dead city in at most a hundred years. And if our attempts are effective, at least in the future, our descendants will still be able to judge us as cruel and barbaric
, selfish, even if they might be able to return to China."
"This is what's more important."
……………………
Watching his friend leave calmly, and knowing that in one month, it will be the time of ancient ghost and god sacrifices recorded in ancient books, Wu Yu was helpless, because what Fei Yu said was true, and the methods they passed down from generation to generation were all based on ghost and god sacrifices.
Sacrifice to ghosts and gods must be based on blood sacrifice.
With great pain in his heart, Wu Yu came to the original place of sacrifice in confusion.
He has long passed the age where he believed that the gods and gods still exist, but now he can't help but pray to the ghosts and gods, because he can't do anything except this, and as expected, the legendary ghosts and gods did not give any feedback.
.
Wu Yu looked up expectantly at the altar that had been legendary for generations.
All I saw were lifeless stone carvings.
He was silent for a long time, laughed to himself, turned around and staggered away.
It seems as if he has aged too much at this moment.
And just at this time
A crisp sound, like the sound of fingers tapping on a jade chime, slowly swayed from the highest point of the altar behind.
