Chapter 150
After the war, Nanban suffered heavy losses and lost Zhuang, an excellent Dongyi slave, and the entire progress of clearing the land was slowed down. Fortunately, Yunyao was still kind-hearted and lent two cows to Nanban to speed up the land refining.
As a thank you, Xiao Jun granted a piece of wasteland on the south bank to Yunyao. At present, Xiao Guo had no other rewards, so he could only give the land. Yunyao didn't want it, and Xiao Ge was not happy.
This time it was a legal expansion. Although the land was not large, it was more than enough to build a workshop.
"Prepare for Laba Festival." It is such a good thing to get an extra fiefdom, so I have to use Laba Festival to celebrate it.
Shuzai immediately started to arrange things. In fact, everything was ready, and he could hold a sacrifice by choosing a good day.
It is still a mound of soil, but this time the mound of soil is much higher. The higher the mound of soil, the closer it is to the heaven, the more clearly the heaven will be.
The lambs for sacrifice are also raised in a clean manner and can be slaughtered at any time. The bronze cauldron is also polished brightly, just gather people together.
Yunyao called Ji She, Jiang Ji and his wife all over to celebrate Laba Festival together.
The eight gods sacrificed are also closely related to fief life. First of all, it is Shennong. If there is no Shennong, everyone is still eating grass. Shennong discovered grains and herbs, so that the race can survive better.
Then there is Hou Ji, who is the ancestor of the people of Xiqi Zhou. Legend has it that he was the first person in Xiqi Zhou to learn how to farm. Now that the people of Zhou rule the world, they naturally have to raise their ancestors. After all, the Zhou people can have today, and they are all hard-working by their ancestors.
Next is the God of Ceres, the God of Seeds. If Yun Yao had not traveled through time, he would probably worship this God of Seeds. Next is the God of Field, similar to the God of Land. After all, all crops grow on the land, so I must thank the God of Fields who carry everything.
Next is worshiping Youchao clan. Without him, the human race would have to live in a cave, and it would be impossible to gather together to establish a fief. Then there is the demon god, the god of beasts, the human race believes that the demon god can protect the prosperity of animal husbandry. Then there is the Fang god, similar to the future door god, the god who prays for the safety of life and property. Finally, the water god, the god who prays for good weather.
Shennong, Houji, the God of Grain, the God of Field, Youchao, the God of Demon, the God of Fang, and the God of Water, sacrificed eight gods in one breath, which was really economical and affordable. It included all aspects of production and life, and also sacrificed to the ancestors of the Zhou people, so it must be grand.
This was the first time Li participated in the Zhou people's sacrifice. Her eyes turned around on the savages, as if thinking about which savage Yunyao would choose to perform the human sacrifice.
"Stop looking, you scared them."
"When I was in Tufang, I always thought that you Zhou people were disrespectful to the heavens." Li said: "Because when the Tufang sacrifices, they would worship the clan leader, and you only worship slaves, so everyone said that you Zhou people would not be blessed by God. But I didn't expect that our worship of the clan leader could not compare to you.
"What you are talking about is a merchant. We Zhou people have eliminated human sacrifices. Although human sacrifices are still common, they are gradually decreasing. Now we only worship six animals, and we will not sacrifice them again." Yun Yao did not say that the Zhou people had absolutely no habit of being backward, such as human sacrifices, especially human sacrifices of great nobles, but human sacrifices are becoming less and less. As long as the places covered by the Zhou rituals begin to eliminate human sacrifices.
"Then why are you Zhou people so powerful?" Li still didn't understand, and didn't know why God loved Zhou people who were not sacrificed.
"There is no direct relationship between being a good person and being a good person in the sky. Besides, you are sacrificing the patriarch because you think the patriarch is the biggest, but the patriarch is not the largest here. For example, how about my fiefdom than the Tufang tribe?"
"There are many people in the earth, but it is not as rich as you."
"Then how is my baron better than the patriarch of your tribe?" Yunyao asked again.
"You are still older than the clan." Li said.
"So, you sacrificial patriarch just thinks that his identity is noble enough, but you can tell if you compare it, you can't do it at all." Yunyao explained: "And whether he is noble or not is mandatory. We think he is noble, will God think so?"
Li was silent: "So we don't need human sacrifice at all?"
"Yes, human sacrifice is meaningless. We human race cannot speculate about the sky or even forcefully interpret human will as God's will." Yun Yao said: "You are no longer in Dongyi, and some habits need to be changed."
Li was still ignorant and needed to be digested, but Yun Yao was the one who decided on Caiyi, and everything was decided by her.
"Mr. Zhu, you are all ready." The teacher in a sheepskin coat said with a smile: "After Laba Festival, even if this year has passed, a lot of things have happened, but Mr. Zhu, you are very good and can stand alone, and Zi'an will definitely be relieved." Zi'an is Yun Yao's father's name.
Many things really happened, and Yunyao recalled it very strange. It was a strange thing that happened in a twelve years, but it happened in a year. The gods, monsters, ghosts, and the Dragon King Star Lord were really lively.
However, Yunyao knew that he could not take it lightly. He was already an immortal cultivator and would definitely encounter even stranger things in the future: "Don't worry, my teacher, I will definitely build a fief well and will not disappoint my father in the sky."
"Okay, okay, then go to the altar to pray."
"Light up." Shuzai saw Yunyao going to the altar and immediately asked someone to light a bonfire: "Let the turtle shell."
While praying for the favors of the Eight Gods, we can divine the fortunes of next year.
Then Shuzai cooperated with the dogs to kill the sheep, put the sheep's blood in a bronze ware, and then threw the sacrifice into the bonfire and burned it.
"The Eight Gods are here, bless my Zhu family's fief forever, good weather, good harvests, and herds of cattle and sheep..." Yun Yao prayed, but thought in his heart that the components of the eight gods were really complicated. In addition to the real Shennong, Houji, and Youchao family, there are also the fictional God of Field, Fang, Grain, and two general demon gods and water gods.
The ancestors cannot be changed, and they have to sacrifice for generations. The demon god and the water god are changing, which shows that the monks around the human race in the prehistoric era were not fixed. Even the god of field, the god of fang, and the god of guchi may have existed, but they disappeared later, so they became the god of vain.
In fact, the demon god and the water god are also virtual gods now, because the demon god is gone, and the water god is the Dragon King who listens to the orders of the Heavenly Court, rather than helping the human race at all times.
The relationship between man and god has undergone a complete change, and the Laba Festival will definitely change slowly. After all, there is no need to keep worshiping the Void God.
Times are really different. Just when Yun Yao was wandering, an inexplicable force suddenly emerged in her small body. Yun Yao immediately restrained her mind, not knowing what power it was.
"Don't worry, this is merit." Hongsang's voice floated to Yunyao's ears: "It should be that you did some good things this year, so you have settled it by the end of the year."
Yunyao said that she was a migrant worker? Is Tiandao a contractor? Why does merit have to be settled at the end of the year? This is a poor turnover of merit? Although Yunyao felt merit for the first time, based on her understanding of merit before traveling through time, wouldn’t it be better to do a good thing to bring merit? Why is it her turn to be settled in the year?
