Chapter 530

In the middle of the hall, all kinds of meat were neatly hung in rows.

His first reaction was that it was bacon, but the shape was not right. When he looked at it carefully, he found that it was a human corpse!

These people were gutted, split in half and hung on hooks hanging from the ceiling, just like pigs and sheep hanging on today's slaughtering line.

Pei mianman could not help sighing: "how can there be such a cruel punishment in the world?"

Zuan also felt uncomfortable physically and psychologically. Although he had seen so many sacrificial pits before, they had turned into dead bones after all, and the visual impact was not so great.

In front of me, these corpses were only air dried, and there was no white bone, and the shape was no different from that of the animals seen in the past.

Although I always know that people are animals, I think it's just a metaphor. I didn't expect that people are really animals.

"This is not punishment, but a way of sacrifice, called Mao sacrifice." At this time, the general replied, as if to answer Pei mianman's question to make him more patient.

"Mao sacrifice?" Zuan thought for a moment, these corpses were cut in half and stretched out, just like that Mao character.

General Yachang continued: "the most ceremonious sacrifice we offer to heaven is human sacrifice. We will offer the viscera, blood and head of human sacrifice to heaven. The rest of human sacrifice is processed by barbecue, stewing in boiling soup and drying into bacon..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Hearing this, Zuan was frightened. "It sounds like cooking."

"It's just cooking," said the general with a strange face, "because they are the food offered to the gods. According to the custom, the gods also give blessings when they enjoy the sacrifice. So after the ceremony, the sacrificial people will share the sacrifice and get the blessing of the gods. Only those with noble status are qualified to share the sacrifice."

Zuan

He just felt that all this was too destructive.

Pei mianman is unbearable, ran to one side to retch.

They did not dare to stay here. They hurried forward and soon came to a tribute table, which was full of bronze utensils. Mi Li had told him the names of these utensils before, but the words were too rare for him to remember.

He was surprised to notice that there were some paste objects in the pots and pans. It is reasonable to say that it has existed for tens of thousands of years. Even if it was put in the refrigerator, it should have rotted away. Why did it still keep the original appearance of the sacrifice? It seems that there is a mysterious force to maintain all this.

Seeing that he was staring at the paste inside, general Yachang explained: "it's called sacrifice. It's about chopping people into meat sauce. People who can become this kind of sacrifice have to have a high status and often need a leader. This is a very precious sacrifice. Would you like to try some? "

Then he fished out some meat sauce and handed it to them.

"No, no!" Zuan and Pei mianman stepped back together and simultaneously set their hands.

Tainima has a strong taste. Those people in Shang Dynasty don't know what to think.

Zuan suddenly realized that no wonder in the romance of the gods, King Zhou always chopped people into meat sauce. For example, Ji boyikao, the eldest son of Xibo Hou Jichang, and Dongbo Hou, the father of empress Jiang, were all chopped into meat sauce for people to eat.

At that time, I thought it was to set off his abnormal cruelty. Now I know that it was a common sacrifice method in Shang Dynasty.

"It's a pity." See two people don't eat, a long general face don't know good goods expression, take advantage of the situation will finger into the mouth to taste up, "for many years have not enjoyed such delicious, thank you for waking me up before."

Zuan

Pei mianman

Both of them are about to collapse. When they walk together with this kind of cannibal, they always feel uncomfortable.

He quickly pulled Pei mianman to move on. He really didn't want to stay in the place where there were a lot of people.

In the middle of the road, a big bronze cauldron came across, which was different from those empty cauldrons outside. It was full of things. The things inside looked like meat jelly, and all kinds of grease condensed together.

Zuan a face helpless: "needless to say, this inside is also human flesh?"

The commander-in-chief nodded: "this big cauldron can cook more than 40 people. Only the king's cauldron can be so big."

His voice was full of admiration and admiration. He put his dry hand on the edge of the cauldron, and a stream of black air spread out. The frozen meat that had originally condensed in the cauldron began to melt away, and he vaguely saw that there were various kinds of human limbs undulating in it.

Pei mianman didn't dare to look at it any more. He drew back directly to Zuan's back. He couldn't see it and was upset.

Zuan is also crazy heart, see the general's face excited color, he quickly said: "don't blame I didn't remind you, if you dare to fish up to eat again, I don't care what trial, really want to subdue demons!"

The general was puzzled: "offering sacrifices to the gods is the most sacred and grand thing in the world. These sacrifices are blessed by the gods. What does it have to do with demons?"

Zuan knew that what he said was true, because this was the custom of the Shang people, so he didn't turn his face at the beginning: "later generations have already abolished human sacrifice, in short, you don't do this in front of us.""That's fine." General Yachang felt that the situation was stronger than others, but he didn't insist. He left the cauldron, and the meat jelly that had begun to boil in the cauldron gradually subsided.

Zuan thought of the request of the Dongyi Princess and said to the general, "you can help me to have a look and see if there is a head in it."

He doesn't want to fish it himself. This big pot of meat jelly looks too creepy to tell the truth.

"Head?" General Yachang didn't know why, but he put Changge in and stirred it up.

Zuan couldn't bear to stare closely. He saw several heads in the whole process, but they were far from the girl's figure.

But had to give up, continue to move forward.

Before long, general Yachang said, "the place of trial is here."

Zuan and Pei mianman observe the situation in front of them. The walls around them are carved with various patterns, like murals and arrays.

There is a small round platform in the middle of it. On the platform stands a strange bronze ware, which has only three feet and looks like a bird.

"Three legged goldenrod?" Zuan's first reaction was this, but he soon shook his head, because he noticed that the last foot was not a foot, but the tail feather of the bird.

The surface of the bronze ware is covered with decorative patterns, with cicada patterns on the beak, chest and neck, feather patterns on the outside of the high crown, inverted Kui patterns on the inside, a strange Kui with two heads on both sides, a long snake with curly wings and diamond patterns on both sides. The back of the neck is decorated with animal face. The back is decorated with flying patterns.

It's really amazing that the decorations are so complicated.

At this time, the general looked at the bronze ware in front of him, full of respect: "this is the Queen's favorite owl statue, and also the entrance to the trial."

Owl means owl. People in Shang Dynasty think that this kind of silent bird is full of mystery, which is very similar to the messenger of gods inspecting people. So they made such a beautiful owl statue in the image of owl.

Zun means wine vessel.

Zuan quickly asked the key question: "how to open the trial?"

General Yachang stretched out his hand and said, "if you touch one wing of the owl, you can start the trial. Good luck to you."

Zuan didn't go right away, but said to Pei mianman: "Manman, this trial is uncertain, we'd better rest."

Pei mianman just had this idea. They took out all kinds of miraculous medicine and took a meditation and rest on the spot. They had just been fighting all the way, and they were wasting a lot. They had to be full to enter this dangerous trial.

General Yachang shakes his head, and his mouth rises slightly, as if with a sneer. For so many years, no man or woman has succeeded, and their cultivation is the weakest. No matter how well prepared they are, what's the point?
