Chapter 257: The role of the ancestral spirit
"Who is it? Who is killing the ancestor?"
Well, although Cui Ming couldn't understand what the priest said, it was easy to understand what he meant by using his spirit. Cui Ming had guessed wrongly before. They were not sacrificing the gods, but sacrificing their ancestors. Maybe this is the reason why they only killed thirty-six savages. If they were sacrificing the gods, they would have killed more, and they might have more than a hundred.
The priest had good mental power and could vaguely perceive the surroundings. Although he could not see the ghosts, he could still hear the ghosts screaming. If it were the priest's senses, he should be able to hear the ancestors of the tribes he worshiped, as if they were hurt by something, and kept screaming. He could even feel that the power of his ancestors was weakening. It was obvious that some ancestors had died.
"High Priest, what's wrong?
Why do I feel my grandfather screaming? Something happened to the sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial s
Or what's wrong?"
Later, those who were considered ghosts and those who were considered to be ancestral spirits were mostly killed or injured, even the patriarchs watching and some older tribe members discovered something was wrong and began to panic about what happened to the priest.
"There are unknown beings that harm the ancestor spirit.
I was already trying to activate the power to make the ancestral spirit return, but those ancestral spirits seemed to be trapped by something and had no way to return. Even the more I activate the power, the more they screamed, was it because the gods were angry?
Kai, hurry up and prepare another 138 slaves. I want to sacrifice to the gods. It must be the gods who see that we only sacrifice to the ancestors and not the ancestors, so we get angry. It is all my fault. We should sacrifice to the gods and then sacrifice to our ancestors."
The high priest lived for more than 60 years but had not seen a similar situation. At this time, he could only rely on his own experience to guess. It might be because they did not sacrifice to the gods first, so they offended the gods, causing the gods to get angry and punished the ancestors.
Therefore, he quickly asked the patriarch to prepare the slaves to come, and seize the time to use the slaves to sacrifice the gods to make the gods angry.
Although Cui Ming was still not moving from the original savage tribe, his mental power could clearly hear what happened on the altar, including the communication between the old priest and the patriarch.
I couldn't help but feel speechless.
This priest looks very unreliable.
I don’t know what the so-called gods he calls, and even whether he has the ability to communicate with gods is a problem. If he has a little bit of ability to communicate with gods, he should know that what is now is obviously not a problem of offending the gods. Moreover, under Cui Ming’s spiritual scrutiny, he did not find anything similar to the gods nearby.
So, it is really hard to say for sacrifice to the gods.
Thinking of this, Cui Ming immediately increased the power of the sun again, and instantly killed all the remaining ghosts that had not been killed in time.
Now, not only the high priest had some senses, but the clan leader and even the tribesmen in the surrounding cities were all sensed. It was nothing strange. The connection between the ancestor spirits and them was very deep. One or two or even half of them died, and ordinary tribes may not have any senses. However, once they died completely, everyone would lose the protection of the ancestor spirit. People who lost the protection of the ancestor spirit did not need to explain others. Just sensing the cold air all over their bodies and the horror of the outside world, they could clearly understand that their ancestor spirit had fallen. When that was the case, many people even started crying loudly, crying about the death of the ancestor spirit and the protection they were about to lose. In fact, they did not voluntarily do such a thing as sacrifice. This was just a forced choice they made in order not to let the ancestor spirits of their tribe fall, and to continue to protect them in order to prevent those ancestor spirits from becoming stronger and to continue to protect them.
In the past, thousands of years ago, they had no habit of worshiping ancestors. They could only worship gods and gain protection from gods by worshiping gods. However, each time they sacrificed the gods, they had to prepare at least hundreds of people to worship. It would be fine if they could sacrifice once or twice a year, but they could barely support them. However, there were too many dangers outside the tribes and cities, so many that they had to sacrifice gods every time and pray for help from gods. Later, a tribe's priest did not dare to worship gods because they did not raise enough people to worship gods. They turned to worship dead ancestors, but found that it was useful. They only needed to worship their ancestors once with a few people, and make their ancestors stronger, so that their ancestors could show their holy sages to protect their tribe at night.
Since then, although they have not completely given up sacrificing sacrifices to the gods, they have also put sacrificing sacrifices to the second place. Normally, they can only worship their ancestors, and only when they encounter dangers that their ancestors cannot cope with will they worship the gods.
The reason why they need gods and ancestors to provide them with protection is mainly because there is no reincarnation in this world. After the death of the creatures, they will become ghosts and still wander in the world. Every month is when the yin energy is the heaviest, countless ghosts will roam across the continent and unite to devour the lives in the tribe. Only with powerful ancestors as protection or with gods as protection can they survive.
Of course, the ancestor spirit can only protect the mid-month of the normal month. The strength of the yin energy and ghosts in July and mid-January every year will be far beyond the limit that the ancestor spirit can resist, so at this time those tribes can only worship gods.
Therefore, they usually call the sacrifices to ancestors a small sacrifice, and the sacrifices to gods a large sacrifice. The small sacrifice is in the month, and the high sacrifice lasts for half a year, year by month, and dare not slackew.
Because Cui Ming didn't know the relevant situation here, he thought he had done something great. At this time, he was even worried about whether to manifest himself in front of these people and spread some information and teachings that were more in line with his three views.
At this time, the Great Priest could not help but feel despair and panic in his heart. He collapsed instantly, and his eyes were cracked, his eyes were bleeding, and his mouth was yelling loudly. Others were kneeling on the ground with a trembling trembling, crying loudly, crying for the crisis tonight.
"High Priest, no matter what accident happened to me, the full moon is approaching. If we don't have any shelter, we will all die. I have brought the savage back. You should prepare for the sacrifice of the gods as soon as possible. We can't delay any more!"
The patriarch led the warriors of the clan and dragged more than a hundred savages tied up in large numbers to the altar again, urging the high priest with anxiety and urgent voices.
