Digging up my own ancestral grave, the school flower insists that I am a tomb robber

Chapter 408 The Cruelty of Human Sacrifice

As far as the eyes can see, there are palaces and huge altars made of bronze, not only that, but everywhere they can see are white bones.

Even beside the bronze palace not far away, there stands a hill made of bones.

And on several tall altars, there are also many skeletons hanging.

"Judging from the age of the skeletons that can be seen so far, none of the owners of the skeletons is older than twelve years old." Ye Jin said at this time.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but thump in their hearts, it was simply too cruel.

And then,
Ting Zen couldn't help saying, "That's not right! Boss, let's look outside, it is surrounded by four mountains, but... after entering, why... why are the four mountains gone!"

When the sound fell, everyone noticed that the surrounding mountains had indeed disappeared.

Regarding this, Chen Mu did not have a definite answer, it was probably just some kind of formation.

then,

Everyone's attention was put back on the sacrificial altar, there are various methods of living sacrifices,

"These ancients were really cruel. They sacrificed living people, so they really thought about it." Ting Chan said angrily.

Ye Jin replied lightly, "Created by the times, the ancients believed that everything in the universe was controlled by gods. Therefore, people prayed for the blessings of the gods through activities of worshiping the gods. Whenever they worshiped the gods, people took out valuables as tributes. Some places even use human life as a tribute to show piety.

The ritual death of the victim is believed to be a means to please the gods and appease the spirits.Victims ranged from prisoners to infants to pure virgins, and they suffered tragic fates—burned, beheaded, buried alive.

In the Shang Dynasty, human sacrifices were very popular. Human and animal animals were used to sacrifice ancestors and gods, and human and dog animals were used to lay foundations, etc.The number of people employed and the cruel means are unimaginable to future generations. "

Walking around the room, looking at the many different ways of offering sacrifices on the altar, it became more and more difficult to calm down.

That's why, this time, the archaeological team did not choose to live broadcast the scene here.

"This is a sacrifice on the sacrificial altar, using copal resin for incense, black paint, and sacrificial knives and other ceremonies. This is similar to the Mayans. In their view, these ceremonies are important for ensuring the function of the universe and time. Prophecy, the change of seasons, the growth of corn, and human life are all very important. Sacrifice of living people is very necessary to maintain the survival of the gods, and only in this way can the regular consumption of life energy by the gods be replenished." Ye Jin said with.

With the mobile shuttle,

"How could there be so many skeletons on this sacrificial altar? There must be hundreds of them!" Li Anche said in amazement at this moment.

Ye Wen continued, "This is 500 children as sacrifices. The children who may have cut their throats beforehand were placed in the outstretched hands of the idol, and then fell into the fire and burned into coke in the fire. .

During the ceremony, drums and music were loud and lively.Masked dancers preside over the sacrifice together with the powerful priests. Parents who sacrifice their children as tribute must stand aside and watch without shedding a tear, because using children as sacrifices to the gods is a This kind of privilege is not enjoyed by ordinary parents. This kind of honor is only given to the most noble families. "

When the voice fell, everyone really couldn't accept it. Looking at such a cruel thing from the perspective of a modern person, I was really panicked!
Before another altar,

Ye Jin said so,

"The sacrificed human animal is placed on the altar and its limbs are bound so that it cannot resist or escape while it is in pain.

Then, people lit the fire and burned the human animal with a hot iron, forcing the human animal to roll up and down in pain on the slopes on both sides of the altar. This painful struggle is believed to last as long as possible.

The next day, the flesh from the dead body was cut off piece by piece. "

As the sound falls,

Everyone stood in front of another altar, which looked a bit lively, and there was a bronze statue,
If it were in the past, Ye Wen would be full of eyes and excited, because the production of this bronze statue is definitely a national treasure.

But now Ye Wen didn't feel excited or excited at all.
I just heard Ye Wen say, "Everyone pulls out the hair of the animal, or asks the animal to spit on their heads. At this time, people can neither tie the animal nor make him resist, so they often break their arms, Sometimes they even broke their leg bones.

The methods of execution were not all the same.In addition to slowly burning to death with a soldering iron,

There is also a method of tying a human animal to the trunk of a wooden elephant to death, that is, the wooden elephant rotates around a large wooden pillar, and people surround it, and when the wooden elephant's trunk turns in front of itself, it cuts off a piece of human animal meat. Cut people to death.

There are also people who are hanged or squeezed to death. A big tree is split several feet in the middle, and the priest and his assistants stuff the neck or chest of the animal into the gap in the tree and clamp them tightly.

Then, when the priest cut the animal slightly with the axe, the crowd began to scramble to cut the flesh on his body, but did not touch the head and internal organs. "

When the voice fell, everyone's expressions were a little unacceptable,
"It's really evil!" Ting Zen couldn't help saying.

Ye Wen then continued, "The background of the times created that some ancient people held human sacrifices because they believed that the birth of new things like crops was based on the death of other things. Without death, there would be no rebirth. .

That is to say, death and rebirth are two interdependent aspects of the same thing, and in order for human beings and all other living things to continue to reproduce, there must be the death of other people or living things at the same time. "

then,

Chen Mu and the others did not focus on the sacrificial altar, but on the towering bronze palaces.

"There are so many grand bronze palaces. I don't know how much it took to build them. It was a waste of time and money, and so many people were sacrificed. It's really... too many to write." Huo Ziqi said.

"These bronze palaces are built in different styles, and they should have been built by kings who came here to offer sacrifices in different periods." Ye Jin said.

immediately,

Chen Mu and the others took the lead in walking towards the bronze palace closest to them.
When standing at the gate of the Bronze Palace, everyone in the archaeological team was obviously a little too vigilant. There are all kinds of dangers in the mist, and there are probably more terrifying things in the Bronze Palace, so naturally be careful .

There are so many bones in this place, thousands of dead souls, and the land of the deepest shadows can naturally breed many terrible monsters. The fog is regarded as the periphery, and there are only so many monsters in the heavenly realm, and the monsters among them are probably even more powerful.

If you are careless, if you are accidentally attacked and Brother Mu is too late to save him, wouldn't you be in trouble?

Therefore, high vigilance is a must, otherwise how can you go to the grave.

The moment Chen Mu opened the bronze door, the palace was brightly lit.

Looking inside the bronze palace, everyone's eyes were full of surprise.
