Chapter 76 Open Kyushu Barrier, Monster Clan Attacks!
You Hun was originally an ordinary ghost, but later met Di Xin, who used witchcraft to give him a physical body, and learned the knowledge of witch priests, which was also an important pawn that Di Xin placed in the witch priests.

The strength of the Yin and Shang Dynasties consisted of three parts, one was the army, the other was the powerful members of the royal family, and the third was the witches.

Witch priests represent sacrifices. They are not orthodox practitioners, but this does not mean that they are weak and risk their lives. Even immortals can curse and kill them, but they have to pay a heavy price for it.

Witch priests obtain all kinds of weird and unpredictable powers by offering sacrifices to the ghosts and gods that exist between heaven and earth. Their practice needs to be supported by the luck of the dynasty, so they are the hidden power of Yin and Shang. Listen to the signs of Xuan.

Although theoretically speaking, the king of Shang is the biggest priest and the leader of the shaman priests. This is originally a good thing for the king of Shang. As a result, King Shang's control over theocracy was gradually weakened, and those wizards and Taishis took the opportunity to seize power and opposed King Shang under the banner of King Shang, which instead became an obstacle to King Shang's governance. Those greedy witch priests stopped for a while.

The subsequent Shang kings also worked hard to suppress the theocracy, and the soaring theocracy seemed to have lost its effect on the Shang Dynasty at once.However, the witch priest who has mastered the power never gives up.

The battle between Shang kings and witch priests in the past dynasties is something that almost every generation of Shang kings has to do.

And the previous King Zhou also suppressed the witch priests just like the previous casualties, especially announcing the cancellation of large-scale human sacrifices, replacing humans with animals as sacrifices, which was a thorn in the flesh of many witch priests.

After all, humans are the best sacrifices, how can ordinary animals compare to humans?But it is impossible for them to disobey Di Xin's order, because without Di Xin's will, if they use people as sacrifices, they will not have the luck of Yin Shang to bear the consequences.

However, the witch priests hate Emperor Xin, and Emperor Xin also hates the witch priests. These witch priests consumed a lot of resources of the Yin and Shang, and often held blood sacrifices. Every time, thousands of slaves would die because of this. Long-term exposure to death energy leads to aging and corruption. Even the nobles who are not against Di Xin faintly reject the witch priest, because the actions of the witch priest can be regarded as a cancer within the human race.

And under the tacit understanding of the ministers and Di Xin Wusheng, the power of the witch priest can be said to have been suppressed to the extreme in these years.

"High Priest, are you ready for this sacrifice?"

"My lord, all the great wizards in Yin and Shang have been summoned to Chaoge. There is absolutely no possibility of failure in this sacrifice. What's more, your lord allows me to use blood sacrifice this time."

The high priest, an old man whose body is hidden in a black robe, can feel his rotten aura that cannot be concealed even if he only listens to his voice. Being able to become a high priest shows that he is the most loved by the gods and the most respected by the emperor. Xin disgusted.

If it wasn't for the need for the assistance of the witch priest to open the Kyushu barrier this time, Di Xin really didn't want to use these guys who were more like demons and ghosts than humans.

Under the altar, Di Xin saw those witch priests, covering their whole bodies with black cloths one by one. Occasionally, they could see their white and thin bodies through the gaps, which made people shudder.

In the middle of the altar, a pit was dug, and there were many corpses of monsters beside it.

Originally, the witch priest wanted to directly use the slaves to sacrifice, but Di Xin sternly refused, so he could only use the corpses of monsters first, and if that didn't work, then let the slaves go.

At the beginning of the sacrifice, the corpses of many monsters were thrown into the pit by the soldiers, and the priests sang and danced around the pit.

"Go up the pillar."

Following the shout of the old witch priest, dozens of soldiers lifted up a huge bronze pillar carved with strange images, and finally the strong man inserted it into the pit.

The bloody corpses in the original pit adhered to the surface of the bronze pillar, adding a bit of enchanting color to the bronze pillar.

Then these witch priests cut open their palms with daggers one by one, let the blood fall, and then put their palms on the bronze pillar, and at the same time they were chanting various languages ​​that ordinary people could not understand, as if they were talking to the ghosts in the dark. Prayer offerings exist.

Seeing this ancient and weird scene, Di Xin suddenly felt a sense of discomfort, as if he had suddenly returned from a civilized society to a slave society. At this moment, Di Xin recalled the essence of this world.

Aside from all kinds of extraordinary powers, the human race is still a primitive slavery society at this time, and there are still a lot of primitive beliefs in various places, some believe in monsters, some believe in immortals, and there are also sacrifices to Nuwa and the Three Emperors and Five Emperors in Chaoge.

As for why they don’t believe in Haotian, firstly, ordinary mortals don’t know the Heavenly Court, and secondly, Haotian doesn’t look down on some trivial beliefs, unless the whole race of the human race sacrifices, but that’s impossible, so the current belief of the human race is based on the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Nuwa Taiyi Xihe and other innate gods were supplemented, and then some monsters and evil gods dressed in god skins were added.

At this time, many witch priests were offering sacrifices to an evil god. A large amount of blood energy was absorbed by the bronze pillar, and the complexions of those witch priests became even paler, and traces of blood vessels could be seen faintly.

At this moment, Di Xin felt a disgusting aura appear inside the bronze pillar.

"This is... the evil god produced by sacrifice?"

Feeling the evil god full of resentment and blood, how could Di Xin not know what these witch priests have done for thousands of years.

Through blood food and sacrifices, gathering luck and faith to promote the birth of the totem god, this kind of evil god can continuously increase its power just by devouring it, even some immortals can't match it, but the immortal way of pure yang, the magic power of the immortal can restrain this so-called evil god , Even if you have just become an immortal, you are not afraid of the body of this evil god.

But you must know that there is more than one witch priest in Dashang. Almost every city and village has a witch priest. One evil god needs thousands of blood food, so how much blood food do thousands of evil gods need?
And this evil god is difficult to control. If you want to drive the evil god, you must satisfy the appetite of the evil god. The witch priests and evil gods all over the territory of Yin and Shang are like parasites that are constantly sucking blood!The fertility of the prehistoric land still requires slash-and-burn farming to increase the cultivated land, and some villages did not die at the hands of evil spirits, but were devoured by evil gods because they could not meet the requirements of evil gods.

If it is not stopped, one day, sooner or later, the witch priest will cause a catastrophe!
Di Xin could see this, and other people could see it, as could the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

But witch priests have always existed in the territory of the human race, and may have been suppressed, but they have never perished.

There may be many reasons for this, but the main reason is that the current human race cannot do without witch priests.
