After the First World War, Nan'an suffered heavy losses. Without Zhuang, an excellent Dongyi slave, the entire progress of land reclamation slowed down. Fortunately, Yunyao was kind-hearted and lent two cows to Nan'an to speed up land reclamation.
As a thank you, Xiao Jun entrusted a piece of wasteland on the south bank to Yunyao. Currently, Xiao Guo has nothing else to give in return, but can only give away land. Yunyao didn't want it, but Xiao Ge was still unhappy.
This is a legal expansion. Although the land is not large, it is more than enough to build a workshop.
"Get ready to celebrate the Laba Festival." It is such a good thing to get an extra fief, so we must use the Laba Festival to celebrate it.
Uncle Zai immediately started to arrange things. In fact, everything was ready. He just had to choose a good day to hold the sacrifice.
It is still a mound, but this time the sacrificial mound is much higher. The higher the mound, the closer it is to heaven, and the heaven will definitely be able to hear it more clearly.
The sacrificial lambs are also raised clean and can be slaughtered at any time. The bronze cauldron was also polished and polished. All it took was gathering people together.
Yunyao also called Ji She and Jiang Ji to celebrate the Laba Festival together.
The eight gods worshiped are also closely related to the life of the fief. The first is of course Shennong. Without Shennong, everyone would still be eating grass. It was Shennong who discovered grains and herbs, allowing humans to survive better.
Then there is Hou Ji. This man is the ancestor of the Xiqi Zhou people. Legend has it that he was the first Xiqi Zhou people to learn farming. Now that the Zhou people rule the world, they naturally want to promote their ancestors. After all, the Zhou people are what they are today because of their ancestors. The result of hard work.
Next is the God of Grains, the God of Seeds. If Yunyao had not traveled through time, he would probably worship this God of Seeds very much. Then there is the God of the Field, which is similar to the God of the Land. After all, all crops grow on the land. You must be grateful to the God of the Field who carries everything.
The next step is to worship Youchao. Without him, the human race would have to live in caves and it would be impossible to gather together to establish a fief. Then there is the demon god, the god of animals. Humans believe that the demon god can protect the prosperity of animal husbandry. Next is Bogami, which is similar to the future door god and is a god who prays for the safety of life and property. Finally, there is the water god, who prays for good weather.
It is really economical to worship Shen Nong, Hou Ji, Grain God, Tian God, Youchao, Yao God, Fang God and Water God in one go. It covers all aspects of production and life, and also offers sacrifices to the ancestors of the Zhou people, so it must be grand.
This was the first time for Oriole to participate in a Zhou people's sacrifice. Her eyes wandered around the wild men, as if thinking about which wild man Yunyao would choose for human sacrifice.
"Don't look at it, you're scaring them."
"When I was in Hijikata, I always thought that you Zhou people did not respect heaven." Li said: "Because Hijikata always sacrifices to the clan leader when offering sacrifices, but you only sacrifice slaves, so everyone says that you Zhou people will not be blessed by God. But. I didn¡¯t expect that our sacrifice to the clan leader is still inferior to your sacrifice to the slaves.¡±
"You are talking about merchants. We Zhou people have eliminated human sacrifice. Although human sacrifice is still common, it is also gradually decreasing. Now we only sacrifice six animals and no more human sacrifices." Yunyao did not say anything about Zhou. People definitely don¡¯t have backward habits. For example, human sacrifice, especially among the nobles, still exists, but human sacrifice is becoming less and less. As long as the Zhou rites cover places, human sacrifice has begun to be eliminated.
"Then why are you Zhou people so powerful?" Oriole still doesn't understand, and doesn't know why God loves the Zhou people who don't want to be sacrificed.
"Whether you are powerful or not has no direct relationship with whether you offer sacrifices to heaven or not. Besides, you sacrifice to the clan leader because you think the clan leader is the biggest, but here the clan leader is not the biggest. For example, how does my fief compare to the Tufang tribe?"
"There are many people in Tufang, but they are not as wealthy as you."
"How is me, a baron, better than the clan leader of your tribe?" Yunyao asked again.
"You are still older than the clan." Oriole said.
"So, you sacrifice to the clan leader just because you think his status is noble enough, but when you compare it, you will know that it is not good at all." Yunyao explained: "And whether it is noble or not is a man-made rule. We think it is noble, how can it be? Do you think so too?"
Oriole was silent: "So we don't need human sacrifice at all?"
"That's right, human sacrifice is meaningless. We humans cannot make wild guesses about God, or even forcefully interpret human will as God's will." Yunyao said: "You are no longer in Dongyi, and some of your habits need to be changed."
Oriole is still confused and needs to digest it, but Yunyao has the final say on the fief, and she has the final say in everything.
"Daughter Zhu, everything is ready." The father-in-law, who was wearing a sheepskin coat, said with a smile: "After the Laba Festival, this year is over. A lot of things have happened, but Daughter Zhu, you have performed very well and can already take charge of your role. , Zi???It will definitely be gratifying. "Zi'an is the name of Yunyao's father.
A lot of things really happened, and it was very strange when Yunyao recalled it. Strange things happened in one year after traveling through twelve years. The gods, monsters, ghosts and ghosts, Yaksha, and the Dragon King Xingjun were really lively.
However, Yunyao knew that she could not take it lightly. She was already a cultivator and would definitely encounter stranger things in the future: "Don't worry, husband-in-law, I will build the fief well and will not let my father's spirit in heaven down."
"Okay, okay, let's go to the altar and pray."
"Light the fire." Uncle Zai saw Yunyao go up to the altar and immediately asked someone to light the bonfire: "Put the turtle shell on."
While praying for the favor of the Eight Gods, you can also divine the fortune for the next year.
Then Uncle Zai cooperated with the dog man to kill the sheep, put the sheep's blood in a bronze vessel, and then threw the sacrifice into the bonfire and burned it.
"The Eight Gods are above, please bless my Zhu family fief to be prosperous and prosperous, with good weather, good harvests, and flocks of cattle and sheep" Yunyao prayed, but thought in her heart that the composition of the eight gods was really complicated. In addition to the real Shennong, later generations In Ji, in addition to the Chao family, there are also the fictitious gods of fields, gods of squares, and gods of grain, as well as two general demon gods and water gods.
Ancestors cannot be changed and must be sacrificed from generation to generation. The demon gods and water gods are changing, which shows that the monks around the human race in the prehistoric era are not fixed. Even the gods of fields, gods, and grains may have really existed, but later disappeared, so they became virtual gods.
In fact, the demon god and water god are also virtual gods now, because the demon god is gone, and the water god is the dragon king. He listens to the orders of heaven, instead of helping the human race all the time.
The relationship between humans and gods has undergone a complete change, and the Laba Festival will definitely change slowly. After all, there is no need to continue to worship virtual gods.
Times have really changed. Just when Yunyao was away from home, an inexplicable power suddenly emerged from her little body. Yunyao immediately calmed down, wondering what kind of power this was.
"Don't worry, this is merit." Hongsang's voice drifted to Yunyao's ears: "It should be that you did some good things this year, so you will settle it by the end of the year."
Does Yunyao mean that she is a migrant worker? Is Tiandao the contractor? Why do merits have to be settled at the end of the year? Is this because of the poor circulation of merits? Although Yunyao felt merit for the first time, based on her understanding of merit before time travel, didn't she do a good deed and receive a merit? Why is it her turn to end the year?
Because she didn¡¯t do enough good things.
