Chapter 1486 Food Chain
The old man's current situation is also not good.
Ominous black energy swept over his body, and he was covered in purple-red patches. Clumps of goat-like black hair grew out of those purple-red patches!
Wearing luxurious clothes, the old man is clearly no ordinary slave. His old face is full of fear!
He opened his mouth wide, but a sound like a cow's moo came out of his mouth, and he couldn't say any other words!
Seeing that the black goat's hair was about to completely cover him, Zhenren Nuo's body would also be completely covered with cracks - the other priests guarding under the altar saw this, and they immediately reacted and turned pale with shock!
"Sacrifice brings changes, and more people die!"
"Fifty more people will die!"
The priests in the audience shouted out one after another, and the ominous and misfortunate aura flowed out from their eyes, ears, mouths and noses. The 'Nuo' who was located in the center of their flesh and blood, followed the ominous and misfortune aura, and flowed from them. It surged out from the pores all over the body and rose up between heaven and earth in an instant, turning into swaying shadow flags!
While the flags were fluttering, the priests saw a palm wrapped with scarlet threads. It suddenly shattered the 'wall' of the Temple of Heaven and grabbed the god behind the wall!
The shape of the god was very terrifying. Except for a pair of cow's feet, the god looked like a 'person' pieced together.
The aura emanating from it made the priests tremble.
It seems that after being infected with that kind of aura, oneself will suddenly die!
This belongs to the white-haired old man on the altar - the 'god' of the great Shang Aheng. Even though he has gained huge benefits from this sacrifice and has the opportunity to become the 'God of Emperor Aheng', at this time this statue The gods were completely unable to resist the terrifying palms that smashed the walls of the temple!
The aura exuding from that palm is purer, and seems to be comparable to that of the 'Emperor of Heaven'!
In order to prevent the white-haired old A Heng's 'god' from being taken away and torn apart by the hand that did not enter the temple, the priests knew that they could only increase the number of sacrifices to repair the wall of the temple and make it Can we isolate that palm again!
When the slaves kneeling beside the pit heard the priest's cry, their faces were filled with tears and they were trembling.
The soldiers behind them raised their long swords and axes one after another. When the sacrificial drums sounded, the weapons fell, taking the lives of the slaves and making them sacrifice for A Heng!
However, at this moment, the hand holding the cow's foot god in the sky suddenly let go, and then retreated from the crack.
The priest with black blood gushing out from his body on the stage quickly prayed and recited the sacrificial text. He danced repeatedly and invited the cow's foot spirit hovering in the sky back into the body of the white-haired old A Heng - the old A Heng was covered in purple and red spots. Most of the block instantly dissipated. When he raised his head, the cow's foot spirit hovering in the sky turned into a wisp of purple smoke, poured in from the center of his eyebrows, landed in the center of his flesh and blood, and became entrenched in it.
The white-haired old Ah Heng exuded a cold and terrifying aura, which seemed to be able to directly cause death!
The old man's eyes were cold, and he still knelt on the altar. He waited until the Zhenren Nuo priest, who was covered in black blood, ended the sacrificial ritual and took out a tortoise shell from under the tripod.
He didn't wait for the Zhenren Nuo to divine for him, stood up, grabbed the tortoise shell with his hands, and saw that where the five bronze nails on the tortoise shell were wedged, there were cracks spreading, faintly forming the word "fierce".
A Heng put away his tortoise shell and looked at Zhenren Nuo without emotion.
Zhen Rennuo's face covered with blood was full of fear, and her eyes were filled with prayers.
The priests in the audience watched this scene, but they all looked at their noses and their hearts. No one interceded for their colleagues - they were all priests supported by 'Tu's Aheng', and they all served the same master. The priest Quanyang was in charge of all the sacrifices of the Tu family. Quanyang presided over the sacrifices and obtained the maximum benefit from each sacrifice. Now he has become Zhenren Nuo.
Except for the whole sheep, these priests are tired every day and need to often assist the whole sheep in sacrifices, but they do not get any benefit from it.
Therefore, they are in a competitive relationship with the whole sheep.
If the whole sheep died, they would have a chance.
"The king rewarded me with a copper shell and ordered me to cast a three-legged cauldron and sacrifice it today. My 'god' can fade away from its chaotic form." Tu's Aheng Zhuang stared at the whole sheep and said loudly, "Before the sacrifice, burn The tortoise shell is used for divination. The tortoise shell says 'auspicious' and can be used for sacrifice.
After the sacrifice, the tortoise shell said "fierce".
During the sacrifice, you used my god to provoke other gods, causing the sacrifice to change from good to bad. "
Zhuang's tone was calm and he simply stated the facts.
The whole sheep was trembling, unable to argue at all, and just prayed to Zhuang: "A Heng, let me live, A Heng, let me live!"
A Heng was unmoved. He only winked at the soldiers in the audience. The soldiers rushed onto the stage, with the spirit of sacrifice flowing all over their bodies. They pushed down the chastity Nuo and dragged him off the altar. Drag him to a sacrifice pit - this sacrifice pit is much smaller than other sacrifice pits and can only accommodate one person. In fact, it is specially prepared for Zhenren Nuo Quan Yang. In every sacrifice of a large clan, the chief priest has the highest authority. , must also bear the highest guilt.
Therefore, before every sacrifice, the location is calculated and the pit for the main sacrifice is dug.
Once the sacrifice fails, the officiating priest must die "using full divination".
"Let me live, let me live! Ah Heng!"
Quanyang, who was dragged to the sacrifice pit, trembled all over. He struggled violently, and the Nuo in the center of his flesh and blood was ready to move. A wisp of ominous aura flowed out of his body, suppressing the remaining aura of the soldiers around him.
At this time, Ah Heng approached the sacrifice pit, and the gradually pure strange aura emanating from him instantly suppressed the aura of Nuo in Quanyang.
He was the master of the clan and held the highest authority of the entire clan.
The power of sacrifice and war was naturally suppressed by the priests in the clan. The so-called priests, as long as they were not included in the list of "Nuo, the maid of heaven" and "Nuo, the minister of heaven", had no chance to challenge the majesty of Ah Heng of the dynasty - and Nuo, the maid of heaven and the minister of heaven, were just slaves to the king.
The king himself was already the "Emperor of Heaven", and he had to bow his head and lower his eyebrows as a minister!
"You deserve to die, a 'murderous' death."
The white-haired old man looked coldly at Quan Yang, whose skirt and clothes were soaked with urine. He took two short spears from the soldiers beside him, ordered them to remove the clothes on Quan Yang's chest, and then slashed the two spears diagonally from Quan Yang's shoulders on both sides - streams of blood gushed out from the wounds cut by the blades, dyeing Quan Yang's body red!
His internal organs were squeezed out from the cross wounds, and they were covered with some pink foam!
Quan Yang died on the spot!
Aheng ordered the soldiers to put him in the pit for sacrifice. The cross wounds on his chest and the surrounding pit for sacrifice formed the word 'murderous'!
After doing all this, Ahengzhuang walked towards the slaves kneeling beside the pit. He waved his hand casually at the soldiers guarding the slaves. The soldiers put away their weapons and dispersed, leaving the slaves kneeling beside the pit in a daze. Seeing Aheng approaching, a wisp of strange charm emanated from him, and rolled up the first slave closest to him - the slave suddenly stood up, his whole body stiff, and bone spurs grew wildly from his bones, piercing his internal organs, flesh and skin in an instant, turning him into a tattered corpse!
This slave died under the law of death and calamity that the "god" in Ahengzhuang's body was gradually forming!
Zhuang tried to kill more people in the law of death and calamity that his own gods were gradually forming, so that the gods would completely dissolve the chaotic cow feet and turn them into "Emperor Aheng God"!
Many slaves saw Zhuang turn a living person into a horrible corpse in the blink of an eye, and they immediately struggled to get up and fled!
Looking at these slaves running around like wolves and pigs, Zhuang's expression remained unchanged.
The strange charm spread out from him like a tide, spreading in all directions - the speed at which those slaves escaped was far less than the speed at which the strange charm spread. Almost in this instant, the strange charm swept across the flat land here, covering all the slaves!
The moment the slaves were infected with this strange charm, their pupils trembled, they foamed at the mouth, and there were signs of fainting immediately!
At this moment, waves of wheels rolling over the soil sounded behind Zhuang, and a chariot appeared behind him. The armored soldier on the leading chariot looked at Zhuang's back and said loudly: "Aheng Zhuang, the king has an order!"
Hearing the voice behind him, Zhuang hesitated for a moment.
Afterwards, he slowly gathered back the strange charm that he had spread out, and the soldiers of the Tu family rushed forward, tied up the slaves who were previously shrouded in the strange charm and almost died, and took them away from this sacrificial site.
Ah Heng turned around and bowed slightly to the leader of the armored soldiers on the chariot, listening to the king's will: "The king has a decree: the Tu clan has lost the way of heaven, and will be demoted to slaves and moved to Yin to be sacrificed for the "Zhou Sacrifice."
Zhuang, who had just wantonly killed slaves, and the Tu clan behind him, now became slaves with the king's decree, and even the whole clan will become the sacrifice of the next "Zhou Sacrifice"!
Zhuang lowered his eyes, and he had actually expected the king's will in his heart.
After this sacrifice, when the divination result was "bad", he had already guessed the king's attitude - the king is the emperor of heaven, and the priests' divination is a guess about the attitude of the emperor of heaven. Now the divination result is bad, which has already explained the king's attitude.
His own sacrifice was not good, which brought disaster, and now this is the king's punishment for himself.
Zhuang stood there in silence. He didn't care about the soldiers surrounding him or the Tu clan members who were tied up by the soldiers in an instant. He seemed to be unaware of it.
Until a team of soldiers approached him and wanted to tie him up with ropes, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the high-ranking leader of the soldiers: "The king lured me to perform sacrifices today and rewarded me with gold shells and tripods, but now he wants to kill me - is the king righteous?
The king is not righteous!"
The tall and handsome leader of the soldiers lowered his eyes and fell on Zhuang with a cold gaze: "Do you want to usurp the throne?"
Buzz!
The cold and piercing strange charm overflowed from Zhuang's body. The soldiers who surrounded him suddenly looked painful and their lips were cyanotic. The gods in his body were ready to move. He also raised his head high. Just as he was about to say something, the leader of the soldiers on the chariot raised a golden axe!
On the axe, there are exquisite and majestic patterns.
This bronze axe, which is more of a ritual than a combat weapon, exudes a majestic and fierce aura as soon as it is lifted by the soldier, instantly drowning Zhuang. The strange aura emanating from him is suppressed by this fierce and majestic aura, and all of it shrinks back into his body!
Zhuang suddenly feels like a piece of driftwood, floating on the dark ocean!
He looked far into the dark ocean and saw five huge pillars supporting the sky at the end of the ocean - they were five fingers!
Zhuang fell into the palm of the Emperor of Heaven!
His expression was dazed for a moment, and when he knelt down, he found that the god in his body had disappeared.
The chariot in front of him had turned around.
The leader of the soldiers on the chariot had his back to him, and the axe placed on the bronze altar shone golden in the sun.
…
In the wilderness.
A light breeze blew, but it was difficult to sweep away the hot temperature.
Qu climbed up from the altar and followed Su Wu step by step.
Su Wu walked towards Sui who was lying under a big tree in the distance. After taking two or three steps, he suddenly turned back and looked at Qu's skinny appearance and said, "How do you feel now?"
"Very good, very good!" Qu hurriedly bowed and replied to Su Wu in awe, "My lord, I am already Tai Pu Nuo!"
A lowest-ranking priest, in a sacrifice, has been promoted to a 'Tai Pu Nuo' directly. This is extremely incredible nowadays - and Qu knows in his heart that the reason why he can be promoted is not because of himself, but because of the noble beside him!
Su Wu didn't care about it. He pointed at Qu's skinny arm and said, "You are so thin that you are dying."
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Qu shook his head again and again and replied to Su Wu, "I will disperse the 'sacrifice' and I will recover soon, I will recover soon!"
"Disperse the sacrifice?
Who will I disperse the sacrifice to?" Su Wu frowned and asked Qu.
Looking at his face, Qu Du remembered Su Wu's warning to them before. He lowered his head and dared not speak again.
Although he dared not speak, Su Wu saw all his thoughts at a glance.
——The so-called "dispersing the remaining sacrifices" means that the priests spread the bad luck and aura left in their bodies after receiving the "Nuo" of the gods to other living people, causing other living people to die suddenly due to plague or unknown reasons.
As other people died one after another, the priests who were "injured by Nuo" in the sacrifices would soon recover.
The sacrificial system of the Shang Dynasty was completely a system in which people took on the damage from the sky layer by layer until people completely absorbed the damage and nurtured a real evil spirit!
Then, how did such an ominous and catastrophic aura grow from the "sky"?
Could it be that the sky also suffered damage from other more terrifying beings?
