Chapter 193 Call Me by Name (Thanks for the Funny Reward)

The crisp voice seemed to ring from the bottom of my heart.

Wu Yu's footsteps stopped suddenly.

The voice in his ear slowly diffused, and the lingering rhyme was endless. He almost thought it was his hallucination. He held his breath and turned his head slowly. On the ancient altar, a figure shrouded in light emerged.

I saw that he had a simple bronze jue and an ancient tripod with a pattern of red birds in his hand. Surrounding him were burning waves of bronze-like flames, exuding an ancient aura like that of gods. At least the burning light was like ghosts and gods. Perhaps this accident exceeded his expectations, and Wu Yu was a little lost for a while. I couldn't believe it and even surpassed ecstasy. After several breaths, I murmured:

"You are the 'Emperor'?"

Wei Yuan barely understood what he said, shook his head, did not hide this point, and explained in a calm and peaceful tone:

"I am not the emperor you believe in."

"I'm just, um, a human who likes to collect ancient objects and stories. To you, I'm just a passer-by. I contacted you by chance, that's all..."

Not Di?

The hope in Wu Yu's heart became gloomy uncontrollably. He looked at the radiant figure, and the power similar to the spirit of ghosts and gods in the records, and looked at the bronze sacrificial vessel depicted in the classics handed down from generation to generation. Have doubts.

Wei Yuan didn't go too deep into the issue of identity.

He also did not say that he is from China. He has not been able to confirm the attitude of these Yin Shang survivors towards the people on the land of China. Some things must be kept secret. His voice paused, and in the language he knew, Smiling: "I just heard you talk about a topic that I am very interested in."

"You want to reopen the blood sacrifice?"

Wei Yuan is now very fortunate that the language at the end of the Shang Dynasty is not much different from that of the last years of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and he can still communicate with Wu Yu. Otherwise, no one in this era will be able to communicate with these Yin and Shang survivors.

Of course, the girl who has lived for an unknown age is definitely not included in this list.

Blood sacrifice, very interested.

Wu Yu's heart sank when he heard the words, his brain was a little dazed, and after a long time, he said: "Yes..., Dijun, no, are you really only interested in blood sacrifice?" He wanted to question the Dijun, but what his friend said was beyond His mind was entwined, Wu Yu finally lowered his head and said with difficulty: "Then, we will sacrifice you with blood and beg for your response."

No, I want to stop this shit. Wei Yuan looked calm and said, "No, I'm not interested in blood sacrifices. I want to stop you and...solve your problems." His voice paused, and asked A question that I have always wondered came up: "What did Di Xin do back then?"

"You guys, what's the trouble again?"

Dixin...

Call him by his first name?

Wu Yu let out a breath slowly, sorted out his stiff thoughts, and after a long time, he replied:

"That was a long time ago."

"At that time, the Shang Dynasty was in trouble at home and abroad, and Ji Fa's army was approaching Chaoge City. There were ghosts and gods in their army. The king decided to keep the flames of Shang, so he opened the taboo underground palace, using the method created by King Yu, Try to send the real Chaoge City out of the human world, so as to wait for future generations to return."

"But the king did not leave together. He chose to break up with General Elai and resisted Ji Fa's army. The people of the ancestors waited for nine days and nine nights, but the king did not return, so we know that the king and the general have done their duty. , died in battle, so we have to keep Chaoge City away from the human world at this moment, to avoid the flames of war."

"We want to inherit our ancestral destiny, cultivate our moral character, and return to the human world someday."

"At the beginning, we made preparations for decades, and even saved some. It is possible for those stored things to last a hundred years, but a hundred years have passed, and we have not found a way to return to the human world. That’s when we realized we had a bigger problem.”

Wu Yu's tone was painful, while Wei Yuan guessed from their current situation what they probably encountered back then, and sighed inwardly.

Sure enough, Wu Yu managed to sort out his emotions, and said in a low voice:

"We lost our way and our direction."

"The most important thing is that food and water are no longer enough, so we have to look outside. Finally, with the efforts of ghosts and gods, after two hundred years of hard work, we finally let Chaoge City and another 'land' border, found land and water, and can live on it.”

"But soon, the beast from Shan Hai Jing appeared."

"At that time, we knew that we had arrived at the place where King Yu was exiled to the world of mountains and seas. It was a barbaric era, and there were even monsters as powerful as ghosts and gods. We are the descendants of those who exiled them back then. We are full of hatred."

"We went through fighting, building barriers, and finally managed to get a foothold."

A sad and powerless expression appeared on Wu Yu's face, and said:

"But at that time, another contradiction became more and more prominent. Sacrificial sacrifices required blood sacrifices. At the beginning, the tradition was to use slaves and defeated prisoners of war to please the ghosts and gods. But the king sent us out, and the rest were merchants. How can you sacrifice the blood of your own compatriots?"

"At that time, we were divided into two tribes. One part supported the blood sacrifice to prosper, and the other part decided to support each other and abolish the barbaric way of blood sacrifice. After a long struggle, the two sides finally abolished it completely two thousand years ago. blood sacrifice."

"The ancestors of the past dynasties have continuously improved the rituals of sacrifices. In the end, they were able to perform blood sacrifices with the killed beasts of the mountains and seas. They could also please the ghosts and gods and get gifts. We were finally able to live here. But later, we began to find something wrong. The ghosts and gods The bestowing effect is getting weaker and weaker."

"Even if you keep practicing, the results of practice can't compare with the original effect. These changes can't be seen in one year or ten years, but in the past one thousand or two thousand years, they have become more and more clear, especially In the past hundred years, for some reason, those mountain and sea monsters have become more and more violent, while we have become weaker and weaker."

"Not to mention being comparable to the ancestors in ancient times, it is no longer comparable to people three generations ago. Before, we could rely on bronze mechanism beasts and strange beasts from mountains and seas to compete. Now the fierce beasts are getting stronger and stronger, and our receipts are getting better and better. If there are fewer sacrifices, the quality will become worse and worse, and if there are not enough sacrifices, it will be even less able to please ghosts and gods, resulting in the next generation's qualifications getting worse and worse."

"If this goes on from generation to generation, maybe within a hundred years, we merchants will die."

Wu Yu's face was filled with pain and unwillingness, and Wei Yuan finally understood why they chose the blood sacrifice.

This is the last attempt that has been forced to a desperate situation.

Wei Yuan frowned slightly, and analyzed the reason for this situation. He has gone through several generations, whether it is the way of the pre-Qin period or the original Taoism, he has dabbled and understood something, and now Tianshi Mansion is open to many classics. He is in an open state, so he can be said to be absolutely advanced in terms of cognitive level.

Of course, the most important reason may be that too many things have been done to cut down mountains and destroy temples.

The person who knows you best must be your deadly enemy.

And vice versa.

Those evil god sacrifices all imitated Shang's ghost sacrifices.

Through cruel methods such as live sacrifices and blood sacrifices, to please the ghosts and gods, and then transfer part of the power of the sacrifices to the person who presides over the sacrifice as a reward, while the other part is swallowed by the ghosts and gods as the cornerstone of their existence.

Those rewards may be blood, or cultivation.

This may also be one of the reasons why prisoners of war were sacrificed.

Those are the elites on the battlefield, and their qi and blood must have reached a certain level. After the sacrifice, part of the qi and blood will be transferred to the host, which can greatly help the latter to grow in cultivation. If analyzed by this logic, then The decline and demise of Yin and Shang immigrants is very clear.

They cut off the blood sacrifice, which is equivalent to making ghosts and gods lose the cornerstone of their existence.

If there is no sacrifice and nourishment for a long time, no matter how powerful ghosts and gods are, they will gradually weaken, and one day they will disappear in the world.

Wei Yuan could even judge that the ghosts and gods of Yin Shang must have dispersed now.

Wu Yu just said that after the continuous exploration of the ancestors, the blood sacrifice can be completed with the strange beasts of mountains and seas. Judging according to the existing logic, this is probably a kind of blood sacrifice that does not need ghosts and gods to preside over it, but simply uses qi and blood to strengthen human body functions and Aptitude rituals, but without the guidance of ghosts and gods, the transformation efficiency of this ritual will inevitably be very low.

It was just because there were strong people in the human race at that time, who could kill powerful beasts. The strength of those beasts made up for this, but as the generations continued, each generation was weaker than the previous generation, and it was difficult to kill powerful beasts. beast. Failure to train with powerful beasts will cause the next generation to be weaker, forming a vicious circle.

Until now, the riot of alien beasts has completely driven them into a desperate situation.

Wei Yuan pondered slightly, and suddenly thought of a possibility——

The riots of strange beasts in mountains and seas are also a matter of a hundred years.

The recovery of spiritual energy is also a matter of a hundred years.

Is there a relationship between these two things?

Wu Yu could hardly contain the sadness and powerlessness in his heart, and with a painful face, he said: "Whether you are an emperor or not, please help me, once the blood sacrifice starts, we will fall back to the situation where we must kill each other to survive. time?"

Wei Yuan thought silently, since the lack of Yin Shang ceremony was due to the lack of presiding ceremony.

Then you only need to find a way to replace the role of ghosts and gods.

He thought for a while and asked, "In Chaoge City, are there still mountains and rivers that have been sacrificed for generations?"

In the Shang Dynasty, there is a record of "Similar to God, to the Six Schools, to look at the mountains and rivers, and to the gods".

Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for their sacrifices to lack mountains, but the current situation is special after all, so Wei Yuan still asked.

Wu Yu hurriedly said: "Yes, there are ancestral veins that have been worshiped from generation to generation since the ancestors Shang Tang."

At this moment, Sakurajima's divinity was about to be completely burnt out. After Wei Yuan received Wu Yu's answer, he breathed a sigh of relief, no longer hesitated, and pointed to the bronze plate, slightly concentrating on the edict he had created. Write it out in one go, and then open your palm slightly, the seal emerges, and slowly press the seal on it.

There was a streamer on the edict.

Then, this extremely extravagant, directly consuming decree drawn by divinity passed through the bronze plate.

Emerge directly on the altar.

Wei Yuan felt that the power in the seal was greatly consumed, and Sakurajima's divinity was consumed even more rapidly, and even he himself felt a kind of exhaustion, while Wu Yu saw on the altar, a never-before-seen The edict emerged, with an aura as thick as a mountain and as distant as the wind, and then slowly landed on the palm of my hand.

His breathing was almost stagnant, holding the edict carefully, the picture on the altar slowly began to disappear, Wu Yu heard the voice saying:

"In the sacrifice before the blood sacrifice, put this decree between the thrones of the upper and lower emperors, and then..."

The voice paused slightly, and said flatly:

"Then, chant my name."

"deep."
