The mountain is high, the wind is light, the moon is near the top of the mountain, and the clouds have sunk. The eagle's horn at this moment is like a sharp sword breaking through the sky. Looking down at the misty clouds below, looking up to the nine heavens, carrying tributes, waiting quietly
Reflecting the vicissitudes of ancient times.
The moonlight is blurry, covering the entire Luye Naga mountain peak. Some are bright, some are hazy, and some are obscure. You can see the moonlight is like silver, and there are dots of light flowing under the whirling shadow. In the blur, you can see the moonlight is cold, and you should feel the moonlight is cold when you sing at night.
How many people are melancholy, and how many people are sad. In the confusion, we can also see lovesickness, and the emotions are like practice, long and short; they are just sad and painful, and they want to sing and cry. Of course, the silent music of bow strings is indispensable, and there are also unheard
Drunk with the aroma of wine.
When the moonlight quietly disperses, the night and the human heart are dancing on the fingertips of the wind.
Surrounded by the strange-shaped boulder, in addition to people offering sacrifices to heaven, there are also cauldrons, incense and various kinds of sacrifices, dead and alive, black and white, arranged in a strange pattern and interspersed on the altar, under the moonlight.
The gauze adds a bit of eerieness.
The ritual of offering sacrifices to the sky at Yingming Cape lasted all day and night. Before nightfall the day before, the beads were sent to the sky for sacrifice, and then the ceremony that is difficult to describe in detail began, rain or shine. In summary, there were three rituals from heaven, earth and people to worship the gods.
, earth and humans and ghosts.
Among them, the sky gods include the sun god, moon god, star god, thunder god, rain god and wind and cloud gods. The earth gods worship the social gods, mountain gods, water gods, stone gods, fire gods and all gods. There are more human and ghost sacrifices, including ancestors.
Gods, sage gods, ancestral gods, living utensil gods, etc.
They are divided into categories, and there are countless categories. For example, among the heavenly gods, there are Haotian God, Suixing, Yinghuoxing, Zhenxing, Taibaixing, Chenxing, and the Twenty-Eight Constellations and Twelve Stars; for the earthly sacrifices, there are Shenzhou, Sidu, Sizhen, and Sihai.
Wait, you will be busy from nightfall until early morning of the next day. Others are fine, but Gu Ya Lingsi, who is holding the bead, has no time to spare. Even if he has deep internal strength, he will still be exhausted the next day.
The sacrifices used in sacrifices are also different, including food, jade and silk, human sacrifices, and blood sacrifices. As for food sacrifices, they can burn millet, dolphin, and drink from the emperor, or make earthen drums and drums, which can still be paid tribute to.
spirits.
It roughly means offering food to the gods. As long as you burn millet and feed the meat to the gods, dig a hole in the ground to use as a kettle, hold water in your hands to offer to the gods, and beat earth drums for fun, you can bring people's prayers and respects to the gods.
Communicate to ghosts and gods.
The sacrifices include six animals and three animals, grains and grains, and fine wine for fasting, etc. Jade and silk are much simpler. They are taken from ghosts and gods, and they do not dare to miss the measure. Most of them are made of jade as six utensils to pay homage to the world.
It is precisely because of the rarity and value of jade silk.
Human sacrifice and blood sacrifice are the cruelest. According to ancient traditions, human sacrifice involves using living people as sacrifices, burning them, drowning them in water, burying them alive, piercing their throats to drain their blood, and beheading them. There are even evil practices of chopping people into flesh and steaming them into soup.
, and the sacrifices were mostly women with beautiful faces.
These women were either prisoners of war or offered to serve the gods. In the final analysis, they were to satisfy the imaginary gods' lust for female sex. Whether they were killed, buried alive, or drowned, they were all in the name of entertaining the gods with their beauty.
Letting their souls become the wives and concubines of the gods is actually for the gods to play with.
Blood sacrifice is self-evident. It is inhumane to assume that the soul of the sacrifice is in the blood. In the beginning, human heads were sacrificed, supplemented by soaking in blood and water.
There are also human sacrifices and blood sacrifices at Eagle Crying Point at this time, but they are much gentler. There are rarely murders to serve the gods. Human sacrifices are also replaced by women's singing, dancing and music, even if there are rituals such as burning, burial and beheading.
, most of them will also use puppets and the like.
Blood sacrifices no longer use human blood, but the blood of birds and animals. However, they are not ordinary animals. They must at least be rare and spiritual animals. However, there are also gods valued by the Caohai people. Human sacrifices are still used.
Living people, naked, piled together with other sacrifices like animals and animals, very clean, not unkempt, shivering in the cold eyes of everyone, unable to scream, thinking
The tears have dried up, and I can only look at the south dreamily, missing my hometown in my dreams.
The methods of sacrifice also vary according to the three rites, including burning, pouring, burying, sinking, hanging, etc. The ritual of offering sacrifices to the sky also involves looking at the sun, moon, and stars, taking the method and burning firewood on the altar to complete the ceremony.
Firewood is used to worship the sun, moon and stars, and sacrifices such as sacrifices and jade are added to the firewood. The gods are above, and non-burnt firewood cannot reach them. During the burnt offering, the smoke rises and reaches high into the sky, making it easy for the gods to be affected.
The pouring method is to use blood sacrifices to sacrifice the gods, and cover it with drops of blood on the ground, just like pouring wine into the ground. The aroma is mainly used to seduce the gods. Before offering the gods, pour the wine first, and mix the wine with the rich aromatic herbs, and the aroma will follow.
The irrigation ground leads to the Yellow Spring. The spoon holding the wine has a Guizhang handle, which combines the moisturizing and clean air of the jade, and is respectful to the gods.
Burial is easier. It buries the sacrifices and is used to worship mountain gods and earth gods. It looks similar to infusion and is not easy to distinguish.
The sinking was used to worship the water god, and the sacrifices were sunk into the water. Yingming Cape is located on the top of a mountain and has no rivers or lakes, so a water tank is used instead to sink the sacrifices. Most of the sacrifices are jade, silk and shenbi, but there are still investment in other places.
It is a custom for people to enter the water. I don’t know how the gods in the water will feel about such a sacrifice that goes against the heavenly harmony.
Hanging throwing is also for the purpose of worshiping the mountain gods. Hanging the sacrificial jade or throwing it far away without displaying sacrificial utensils is the most convenient method of sacrificial offering.
The gods are different, the sacrifices used are different, and the methods of sacrifice are also different, but generally we can get a glimpse of it from the ancient methods. However, in addition to these righteous gods, Guya's holy scripture of worshiping heaven seems to have other
There are some strange gods mixed in, and the number is not too small, and the sacrifices are even worse than those of the real gods. As for the methods used in sacrifices, they remain the same, but there are always slight differences. It seems that among these sacrifices to heaven
There is something hidden in the ritual that is unknown to outsiders.
The Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony lasted from nightfall the day before to the early morning of the next day, with almost no breaks in between. However, not everyone was thinking about the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, and Xiang Liuer was one of them.
It will be daybreak in half an hour, and the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky has already passed its half. After the night, the offering of sacrifices to the heavens is only coming to an end, but such calmness is indeed a bit unexpected.
Xiang Liuer's expression was cold, staring at the soil in front of the sacrificial platform. The soil was tired at the moment, but still trying to hold on.
A figure walked up the mountain quickly, came to stand beside Xiang Liu'er, and said in a low voice: "Sweat aside, there's news." It was Hu Lu Fenghan.
"Oh, what is it?"
"The news came back from Yaoting that the Dagan cavalry was seen near Ergu."
