C1339 Moon Sacrifice!
C1339 Moon Sacrifice!
What was the purpose of the moon sacrifice? Some people said it was because the ancestors of the Mayan race had gone to the moon. Some people said that Feathered God lived on the moon, and some even said that. The moon was the final home of humans at the end of the world, and that was why they worshipped it.
Which of these was correct? No one went to investigate, but everyone knew that if the moon didn't come out tonight... Then the sacrificial ceremony could not be held. As the High Priest, Hu Yeao... He was very clear about this in his heart.
Why didn't the moon come out?
This was definitely because the High Priest got himself a woman to offer to the great God. He was so angry that he blocked the moon!
The hundreds of thousands of Mayan believers all had this thought in their hearts. They shouted 'exchange for the sacrifice' and walked towards the pyramid.
They heard the voices below the tower getting louder and louder. They looked at the crowd that was slowly approaching. Hu Yeao's legs began to tremble. He was really worried that he would be dragged down from the top of the tower by the fanatical Mayan believers (or rather, the believers). Then, he would be torn into thousands of pieces.
As for the moon and the stars, they were all covered by the darkness of the night. Was it because the sacrifices were 'unqualified'? Hu Yeao was not sure yet. The only thing he was sure of was that if he was still standing there like an idiot, he would definitely be torn into pieces by the more furious disciples!
What should I do? Hu Yeao thought in his heart and turned his head to look at Chai Fangsi, who was standing at the front of the tower on the left.
Unlike the Mayan followers, Chai Fangsi did not believe that the moon would not come out because Shaang Lige was not a virgin.
However, he knew very well that the hundreds of thousands of people under the tower all had such foolish thoughts.
If Chai Fangsi wanted to completely 'conquer' these Mayan people, the only way was to rely on the bracelet to become Feathered God in their hearts. Other than that, there was no other way.
It seemed that his plan to rely on Shaang Lige to get rid of Chu Yang tonight would fail. Forget it, it was better to let this woman go for the time being, lest she provoked the anger of these foolish people. Chai Fangsi pursed his lips tightly, then nodded slightly at Hu Yeao.
Seeing Chai Fangsi's agreement, Hu Yeao immediately took a deep breath. He then raised the staff in his hand high up and shouted, "Gramahimos (Don't ask me what it means, because I don't know either.) It's basically telling the church that they have agreed to their request, right? Ha, ha..."
Sure enough, after Hu Yeao shouted at the top of his lungs a few times, the noise under the tower gradually calmed down. The people whose faces began to show excitement also stopped the approaching footsteps.
Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Hu Yeao, who was covered in cold sweat, He quickly turned to the four saintess and said, "Quick, help the sacrifices down from the tower first. Let Le Linge (Hu Yeao's successor) quickly present the spare bull head!"
The four saintess, whose faces had turned pale from fright, did not dare to be neglectful after receiving the order. They quickly held Shaang Lige up and pulled her down from the Kukulkan Pyramid.
"Beat her to death, beat her to death!"
After seeing Shaang Lige being pulled down from the pyramid by the saintess, those fanatical believers walked over to beat her to death. Because she was not pure, that was why the moon did not come out.
The four saintess who were in charge of supporting Shaang Lige saw countless believers shouting slogans. After walking step by step from the front of the pyramid, they were all shocked. Someone released Ms Jiuer's arm and was ready to leave. If these believers rushed over, then the four of them would definitely be torn into pieces. Who wouldn't be afraid?
Just as the four saintess let go of Shaang Lige and prepared to turn around and escape desperately, a few black shadows jumped out from behind the pyramid.
Before these Saintesses could figure out what these people were doing, they grabbed Ms Jiuer who was lying weakly on the ground, turned around and ran towards the back of the tower!
Seeing that someone suddenly came out from behind the tower and snatched Shaang Lige away, The four saintesses were shocked and one of them wanted to chase after her. Gerry, don't go! Have you forgotten that on the night of the sacrificial ceremony, No one is allowed to walk to the back of the tower? Otherwise, they will be sent to hell by the Strange Sin of God! "
" But, but those people stole the offerings! If we don't snatch them back, if the archbishop finds out, we will still die! "
This Saintess called Gerry naturally knew about the night of spring and autumn. Behind the Kukulkan Pyramid was a forbidden zone that was drawn by God and prohibited mortals from going over. This was also the reason why Chu Li was able to successfully climb up the pyramid from the back. At that time, he just didn't know. )
The saintess who had pulled Grizzly raised her head and looked at the tall pyramid. She said nervously, "The archbishop will not be able to see us if we stand at this angle! Even if he sees us and wants to kill us, it is still better than being blamed by God. It is much better to put the blame on our family! How about this, we should take advantage of the night and quickly go to the place where the former High Priest, Sakku, lives. Beg God to let us go!"
After hearing her words, the other three Saintesses were silent for a moment, then gritted their teeth and nodded, following the base of the pyramid to the northeast.
Similarly, after seeing the impure sacrifice being carried to the back of the tower, the Mayan believers who were closing in on them also stopped.
Although the impure sacrifice deserved to die, but everyone did not need to enter the sacrificial forbidden area for her.
...
When Shaang Lige saw the raging crowd of disciples forcing their way over, she thought that she was dead for sure this time. Even if Chu Yang could appear at this time, he could not stop so many angry people.
However, just as Shaang Lige, who felt weak and sore all over, was about to die, three black shadows ran out from behind the tower. They snatched her and ran towards the back!
Who were these people? Under Shaang Lige's huge suspicion, three black shadows carried her and quickly ran towards the woods not far behind the tower.
Shaang Lige did not know where these people came from, nor did she know where they drove her. But she had no other way, because she did not even have the strength to speak now.
Very quickly, Shaang Lige was carried into the forest about 500 meters away from the pyramid by the three black shadows. After running for another 100 meters, she finally put her down.
Although Shaang Lige did not have any strength on her, she could open her eyes. She saw a black shadow jump down from a tree on top of her head.
After the black shadow jumped down, it quickly bent down and held her in its arms. It said to the person on the left, "Jin Xier, I really have to thank you this time!"
Ever since she was caught, Shaang Lige had been drugged. She no longer had any strength in her body. She wanted to close her eyes and never wake up again... But because her life could be lost at any time, she had been using her last bit of willpower. She forced herself to stay awake.
But after being hugged by this person, Shaang Lige's tense nerves immediately relaxed. Just as she wanted to say something, her vision turned black and she did not know what was going on.
...
Because of the angle, Chai Fangsi and the others standing at the top of the tower could not see what was happening below the tower.
Besides, the surroundings of the pyramid was pitch black. Only the top of the pyramid had seven torches. The people standing below could clearly see the people on the top of the pyramid. However, the people on top could not see the bottom clearly, so Chai Fangsi and the others... They did not notice that Shaang Lige had been taken away, and the four saintess did not come to report.
They only felt relieved when they saw that the disciples had stopped shouting and were no longer rushing towards them.
After seeing all of this, Hu Yeao finally had the mood to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead. However, his nerves had been taut. If the moon did not come out after the bull's head was brought up, then... What should I do? How should I explain it to these people?
If Shaang Lige was not seen as a young woman, the moon would not come out. Of course, she would not care about Hu Yeao's matter. Even though he was a high priest, the high priest did not seem to care about these things.
But the problem was that Shaang Lige was actually seen by those 'wise men' that she was not a virgin!
In this way, the majority of the people in the church could reasonably put the reason why the moon did not come out on top of Hu Yeao's head. If you did not make a seashell out, then God would not be angry!
Therefore, the one who was most worried about today was Hu Yeao.
Chai Fangsi had forced Hu Yeao to do all of this, but he didn't dare to say it.
...
The angry Mayan believers looked much better when they saw the offerings being sent down to the top of the tower. Everyone once again sat on the ground and looked up at the top of the tower with their chin raised.
Some experienced old men also took this opportunity to tell the people around them, "The impure sacrifices have already been blasted off the top of the tower. Next, we should use the bull's head as a replacement. They hoped that Feathered God could forgive the High Priest's foolish actions and let the moon appear as soon as possible. This way, we can smoothly sacrifice the moon. "
The voices of these people below the tower weren't very loud, but Chai Fangsi, who was standing on the top of the tower, could hear them clearly. He naturally scoffed at such words. "Tsk, a bunch of foolish people! What does the appearance of the moon have to do with the offerings? If not for the fact that you have a large number of people, I would have destroyed you... "
Putting aside the fact that Chai Fangsi was there to comfort himself, since Shaang Lige was brought down from the top of the tower, these disciples had calmed down a lot. Everyone was waiting for the bull's head to arrive.
About half a meter later. Just as the voices of many Mayan disciples were getting louder and louder, When they were getting impatient, the lights finally appeared on the east side of the pyramid: A few men were panting, lifting a clean bull head with a stick. They rushed over in time.
When Hu Yeao ordered his men to place the bull's head on the altar, the four saintess who went to the place where Sakku ascended to immortality to pay their respects also rushed back in time and stood in their original positions.
Apart from the person on the altar who was replaced by a bull's head, the rest of them were still in their positions. Everyone once again looked at the dark sky with a pious expression.
After the four saintess returned, Chai Fangsi wanted to ask them where Shaang Lige was sent to.
However, he was afraid that his casual walking would cause the followers to be unhappy, so he had to imitate Hu Yeao and look at the night sky with his chin facing up.
