Chapter 2108 Human Sacrifice
Ye Xiaochuan didn't sleep well last night and kept sneezing. Zuo Qiu and others felt strange. With Ye Xiaochuan's cultivation, how could he catch a cold even if he was so cold?
Of course he didn't have a cold. He kept sneezing yesterday and had a cold wind on his back. He always felt like someone was talking bad about him behind his back.
After thinking about it all night, I couldn't figure out who had such a deep hatred against me, and actually slandered and slandered me behind my back for the whole night.
Today is a very important festival in Miao territory, called Jiyou Festival.
The time of the Youji Festival is not fixed, unlike the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, which are on a certain day of the month. The Youji Festival in southern Xinjiang is the second cattle grazing day in October every year, which is the Chou Day.
Hearing the name of this festival, Ye Xiaochuan knew that it was in memory of Chi You, the demon god of the Jiuli tribe, the predecessor of the five tribes in southern Xinjiang.
After asking Gesang about it, it turned out to be true.
According to Kelsang, the You Festival is also called the Nongyou Festival, and it honors an ancestor named Gaoyou a long time ago. This man was born strange and brave. He once led nine tribal leaders to fight Xuanyuan in the Central Plains. After he was trapped and killed, the nine tribal leaders led their tribes to migrate southwest along the river. They came to the south territory,
After generations of reproduction, the five tribes are all descendants of "Gouyou".
The Nongyou Festival is to pay homage to the ancestor who died in "Gouyou".
The so-called "address to you" refers to Chi You.
Whether it is the Central Plains, the Southern Border, or the grassland tribes in the Western Regions, ancestor worship is always a top priority, even in times of war, it will not be missed.
Various camps and guerrilla groups in southern Xinjiang are currently holding various sacrificial activities today.
The Wanyuan Mountain campground is very large, so the sacrificial activities here are also quite grand. Ye Xiaochuan thought that Gesang, the great wizard of the Miao ethnic group, would preside over this sacrificial event, but he found out that there was nothing wrong with Gesang at all. Each of the five ethnic groups sent a wizard representative, and they all had few teeth left. Old people, these
Wearing a brand new white robe, the old man sang the ancient Miao language loudly at the altar on the mountainside of Wanyuan Mountain, conveying his blessings to Chi You's ancestors who had been dead for tens of thousands of years.
From the mountainside to the foot of the mountain, people of the five ethnic groups can be seen singing and dancing everywhere, and they are all in costumes. There are not many men among these people, almost all of them are women.
These Miao women were wearing brightly colored long skirts and weighing several kilograms of silver ornaments. Some of the more outstanding-looking Miao girls were dancing and singing hand in hand, allowing Chi You's ancestors to see how wonderful his descendants were in life. of beauty.
There were only a few men in the camp, shirtless in the cold weather, carrying three animals tied with red cloth and setting them down near the mountainside altar. Since he is a demon, he must look a little like a demon. After the three animal sacrifices were completed, they saw four Miao men carrying a flower stand made of flowers and vines. On the flower stand, a very outstanding-looking Miao man sat quietly. Xinjiang girl,
The girl also wore a beautiful wreath on her head. She didn't know where she found so many flowers in this snowy day.
This flower-crown girl is really pretty. Ye Xiaochuan feels that in terms of appearance, she is definitely not inferior to the fairies around her, but she is a bit younger and looks like she is only fifteen or sixteen years old.
Ye Xiaochuan thinks this kind of celebration is good, with delicious food, dances and folk songs, and beautiful women to watch. If you don't think about those troublesome things, this is paradise on earth.
Ye Xiaochuan likes this sacrifice, but it does not mean that other cultivators from Middle-earth like him also like it.
The people of Central China have been instilled with the idea that Chi You is a bad guy, and Xuanyuan who defeated Chi You is a good guy.
Therefore, in China, Chi You is called the Demon God.
When these Chinese people figured out the origin of this sacrifice and the object to be sacrificed, they labeled the sacrifice in front of them as evil.
Not only those cultivators in Middle-earth, but also the cultivators of the Demon Cult have this idea. They worship the Nether Mother and the Demon God of Kaitian, not Chi You. Ye Xiaochuan said to Baili Yuan and others who were talking in low voices around him: "I said, can you respect other people's history and culture? Every ethnic group has its own beliefs. Even if the five ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang worship Chi You, it doesn't matter. Well, after all Chi
Especially their ancestors, you must not forget your roots. You say this is an evil sacrificial activity, but you must not let Kelsang hear it. Hey, where is Kelsang? Why isn't he here? "
Qin Fanzhen said: "I haven't seen her for a long time. I don't know what she is busy with."
Ye Xiaochuan felt strange in his heart, how could Gesang, as the great wizard of the Miao people, be absent from such an important sacrificial event?
However, due to his lustful character, this guy quickly focused his attention on the beautiful girl with a flower crown on the altar, and said to himself: "She looks really good."
However, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was not right, because the beautiful girl with a flower crown was actually carried on a pile of dry wood, and there were several Miao men holding torches and dancing in circles around the wooden frame. Great God.
The flower-crown girl sitting on the wooden frame was very pale, clenched her teeth, and her body was trembling slightly, as if she was very scared.
Baili Yuan said: "That's not right. Why do I think this girl is going to be burned to death?"
Ye Xiaochuan said: "How is it possible? Human sacrifice can only be done by barbarians who drink hair and drink blood. We are all civilized people, how could we do such a heartless and crazy thing... oh... it really lit a fire!"
Ye Xiaochuan was about to say a few words of defense for the five tribes in southern Xinjiang. At that moment, the men around the wooden frame stopped dancing and threw all their torches on the wooden frame.
A layer of thatch was spread under the wooden frame to support combustion, and the flames burst into flames in an instant.
The surrounding people in southern Xinjiang shouted "Hula! Hula!" in a language that Ye Xiaochuan could not understand.
Ye Xiaochuan yelled: "It's not a hool! It's a mess! These people are really sacrificing human beings!"
Just as he was about to rescue him, Gesang, who had been missing all morning, suddenly appeared and said with a sad face: "This is a sacrificial ceremony in southern Xinjiang. Don't interfere with it."
Ye Xiaochuan said angrily: "Sacrifice a living person, are you crazy?"
Gesang said: "I tried to stop it, but I failed. This is the highest-level sacrificial ceremony in southern Xinjiang. Now that the catastrophe is coming, the five ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang feel that only by offering the most beautiful virgins to the ancestors of Chiyou, will the ancestors bless us and achieve success." Victory." Ye Xiaochuan said: "Bullshit! There are so many enemies in heaven who want to burn a young girl here to please Chi You who has been dead for tens of thousands of years. Are all the tens of thousands of warriors in southern Xinjiang cowards? , can’t you even lift the machete?
? "The fire on the wooden frame is getting bigger and bigger, and the cultivators of the righteous way and the devil's sect are ready to take action. They will never tolerate human sacrifice happening in front of them.
