Chapter 32: Jurchen Sacrifice
Please support the new book "The Legend of Cultivating Immortals in the Infinite World"...
The City God Yinshi, which was already stormy, was hit by this, and the entire City God emitted a fire like a leakage everywhere. Then there was a rumbling sound, and large sections of the city wall collapsed, and countless buildings were directly transformed into ruins. Countless defenders around were affected by the fish in the pond, and they were suddenly shocked and turned into balls of black gas.
After this punch, the dragon energy also exploded. Where the light shone, the war souls who had died in the battle revived again, and even the various injuries consumed on the remaining war souls were all compensated.
Then, in the light, countless warriors rushed out on both sides of the city wall that was winding like a dragon as the mountains rose and fell. They had different colors, from the black armor and battle robes of the Qin Dynasty to the armor of the Tang Dynasty warriors. Warriors from all dynasties seemed to have surged out. No one knew how many there were, and they surged up with the overwhelming momentum like a rising tide.
Mr. Mai laughed: "My sons, we have won this battle and work hard to achieve success!"
.............
Wu Qimai was also dancing, and since he inherited the position of Emperor Jin by his brother Aguda two years ago, he also inherited the status of the Wanyan tribe as a patriarch and the wizard.
But unlike his brother who was favored by Changshengtian, he was not that powerful and could communicate with Changshengtian's power.
But as a great wizard, at this time of anxiety, he still had to dance the shaman dance passed down from his ancestors, trying to communicate with the heavens of immortality and give him guidance.
Now, they have just become stronger and continue to expand, and their luck, which was originally more hot than the fire, has begun to become a little weak.
Especially when he received a distant place, in that legend, he had tens of thousands of times richer than the Liao Kingdom. He had countless snow-white and delicate porcelains, various light and smooth silks, and even something that other Jurchens dreamed of, and only thought there was only in heaven.
It is different from the previous leader of his Wanyan tribe, Aguda, the first emperor of the Jin Kingdom, which had just been established by the Jurchens.
Aguda was somewhat awe of the country called the Song Dynasty in the distance. He even thought of sending people to contact the Song Dynasty and attacking the people of the Liao Dynasty together.
But Wu Qimai was different. He was determined to go south again after destroying the Liao Kingdom and destroy the Song Dynasty.
In addition to the incredible wealth of this country, what is more important is that Aguda felt the will of the Heaven of Eternity during his lifetime, and this country was angry with the Heaven of Eternity. Therefore, the Heaven of Eternity gave them the little Jurchen Wanyan tribe luck to make them strong and finally destroy that country.
Wu Qimai believed this deeply, not only Aguda's explanation before his death. It was also after Wu Qimai took over as the great wizard. When he had a high fever that night, he vaguely felt the same will.
As long as there is the protection of the Heaven of Eternity, even the Liao Kingdom with a million troops will be defeated by them. Not to mention the Song Kingdom that cannot defeat the Liao Kingdom.
However, I don’t know when it will start. Everything has changed. It seems that Changshengtian has changed his mind and no longer wants to destroy the Song Kingdom. Moreover, Changshengtian no longer seems to be favoring their Great Jin Kingdom, their Wanyan tribe.
Not long ago, at night, Wu Qimai saw the direction of Nanjing Road in the south, and a ray of phosus rushed straight into the sky.
Since then, Wu Qimai has never felt the will to live forever again.
Soon, news came from the fast horse. The Heavenly Master of the Song Dynasty actually led his troops into Youzhou City.
This news shocked the whole of the newly established Dajin Shangxin. They had just defeated the Liao Kingdom with great difficulty and could just enjoy the jewelry beauties and various fine wines and delicacies that were only enjoyed by the Khitan nobles. But they were not interested in fighting again with a country that was more powerful than the Liao Kingdom!
In fact, in history, the corruption rate of Jurchens was as fast as their rise, which was shocking. In the original history, before they completely defeated the Liao Kingdom, most of the Jurchens had already begun to corrupt and fall, enjoying the lives of the Khitan nobles they once hated to the core.
If it weren't for the original modern time and space, the Song Dynasty was really too unbearable. Under the leadership of the eunuch Tong Guan, even the Youzhou City could not be defeated, and even fought one after another. If people saw that they were vulnerable soft persimmons, many senior Jurchen officials had no interest in attacking the Song Dynasty.
Even after barely destroying the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jurchens were almost corrupted. The reason why Jin Wushu in history could not wait to attack the Southern Song Dynasty several times was that he had to solve this opponent before the Jurchens completely declined.
In almost a hundred years, facing the attacks of the Mongols, these Jurchens were much more cowardly than the Khitans they looked down upon now.
Everything that happened in front of him made Wu Qimai worried. It’s okay to say anything else, especially after the Tianshi came to the north, even Changshengtian changed his will and no longer protect the Jurchens.
This made him feel even more deeply a sense of crisis.
In any case, he wants to communicate with Changshengtian and gain the favor of Changshengtian again. Otherwise...
The ceremony was very grand. Countless cattle, sheep, livestock, as well as various looted gold, silver, treasures, silk, silk and satin were all piled up on the platform, thrown into the raging fire, and presented to the Heaven of Eternity.
The Jurchen nobles kneeling on the ground whispered, and many of them disagreed.
After entering the Liao Kingdom, after being conquered by the advanced material civilization, they were quickly influenced by the advanced spiritual civilization. Therefore, many people seemed a little dissatisfied with burning these treasures in vain.
But no one dares to say these things stupidly at this time. Anyway, these treasures were stolen from the Khitans. At worst, they could just grab more in the future.
However, those Confucian scholars and civil servants from the Liao Kingdom who had just defected to the Jurchens regarded such sacrifices as barbaric and shook their heads and sighed. However, these guys refused to die for the Liao Kingdom, so naturally they could not expect them to go up to persuade and express their loyalty to the Jurchens.
The entire sacrificial ceremony lasted for two or three hours, and it was endless. Many people were hungry and knelt on the ground, but they couldn't hold on.
Only the old and weak Jin emperor was extremely excited and danced shaman dances over and over again, trying to communicate with the immortal heaven and gain revelation.
Wu Qimai was not old at all, but these tribes outside the border had not had a long lifespan. Being able to live to be in their fifties would be long. The monotonous dietary structure of too much meat, as well as the wind, frost, snow and rain outside the border, and the military career of fighting and fighting, made the average lifespan of those tribes outside the border only lasted for more than ten or twenty years.
With Wu Qimai's current age, he has reached old age among the Jurchens. His body looks quite strong, but his foundation has long been empty.
At this time, after jumping for two or three hours, he seemed extremely excited. Some Jurchen elderly people seemed worried.
"Salvation, sacrifice to me again! It must be because the sacrifice is not enough, so I did not impress Changshengtian! I would like to offer sacrifices to me!"
With a command, the Jurchens caused a sensation. Although the Jurchens had just emerged from the tribal era of slash-and-burn farming, it had been abolishing human sacrifice for a long time.
It is not a humane issue, but they practice slavery and naturally know that population is a great wealth. Even prisoners of war can be used as slaves and are extremely valuable property.
However, when the people were called for a sacrifice, even the unprepared Jurchen nobles, even the surrendered ministers of the Liao Kingdom, were all in a turmoil.
Shortly after the founding of the Jurchens, many of the legacy of the tribal era remained. Although more than ten years ago, Wanyan Aguda reorganized the Jurchens, the Jurchens who were extremely rich in tribal era characteristics, and the huge councils participated in by the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister, into a system of high-level core officials at the imperial level and a few senior core officials at the Prime Minister level to discuss state affairs.
Despite this, the Jurchens did not achieve such a high degree of centralization, and it was not something that Wu Qi could cover up the sky by buying one person.
As soon as such a person sacrificed, there was a rumbling everywhere. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, a few old guys suddenly stood up and shouted: "Why are you quarreling? Have you forgotten the rules of our Jurchens?"
These old guys are as calm as they say and are both the elders of the Wanyan family, Bo Jilie, who has already stood aside since the tribal era.
But he was still respectful and had a high prestige among the Jurchens. At this moment, he actually stood up and helped Wu Qimai speak, suppressing all the opposition for a moment.
"You bastards, you have learned to be stupid after following the Liao people outside. Can those porcelain and silk be used as food? We Jurchens can stand between the white mountains and black waters for countless years with the swords and guns in our hands and the favor of the immortals. Now, we have captured the Liao Kingdom under the favor of the immortals.
What are slaves? Just rob them if they die. As long as they are blessed by Changshengtian, as long as we have swords and guns in our hands, we can't grab anything? You guys who are unpromising are clamoring for such a little thing. Have you all forgotten your roots? The souls of your ancestors are all looking at you in the arms of Changshengtian!"
These old guys came up to suppress the situation, and cursed with chuckling, shocking all the noisy Jurchens.
Soon, a group of slaves were pulled onto the altar, cut their necks and threw them into the fire as a sacrifice to the heaven of immortality. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
