Chapter 59 Living Sacrifice

Leaving the work shed where the corpse was stored, heavy snow suddenly fell outside.

The dark clouds in the sky rolled into a ball, but there was a hole in the middle.

The afterglow of the setting sun seeped out from the hollow, which looked like eyes dripping blood.

As if being stimulated by something, the hooting of the surrounding owls became louder and louder.

In the distant mountains, there were also bursts of beast roars.

Chen Daji looked up at the sky and exclaimed:

"Damn, those big eyes are really scary!"

"Boss, do you know? In fact, each of us has a third eye."

Hua Jiunan and the other three couldn't help but stop and look at Chen Daji, who looked like a master.

Professor Ma was very emotional:

"It's true. I've seen it recorded in many ancient books."

"Everyone has an eye between their eyebrows, but it's just hidden inside the body."

"It requires a special way of practice to activate it. Taoists call it 'Heavenly Eye'."

Facts have proved that Professor Ma overestimated Chen Daji.

I saw him showing an embarrassed look.

"Hey, old professor, the eyes I'm talking about are different from what you're talking about."

"I'm talking about the asshole..."

"If you add the heavenly eyes you mentioned, then each of us actually has four eyes..."

After the three of them heard this, they staggered and almost fell down.

Hua Jiunan turned around and asked Director Zhou:

"Uncle Zhou, have you handed over the piece of Nine-Aperture Jade?"

Professor Ma answered:

"Jiu Nan, are you talking about Yusai? It's here with me."

"If you want it useful, I'll go back to the house and get it for you."

Hua Jiunan looked at Chen Daji with ill intentions:

"Don't worry, I'll use it to stop Daji's mouth later!"

Chen Daji smiled and hid behind Director Zhou:

"Boss, don't make trouble, that thing is too boring!"

Professor Ma was amused by the two and laughed:

"It's great to be young. It seems that I will spend more time with young people in the future!"

After such a fuss, the originally tense atmosphere relaxed a lot.

Chen Daji has a unique personality charm:

No matter when and where he is, there will be a lot more joy.

Of course, his character also has "sequelae".

That means it's easy to get beaten...

The staff patrolling at the entrance of the ancient tomb immediately got out of the way when they saw Professor Ma bringing people.

He also handed them two flashlights.

Several people walked along the dug cave and walked inside.

Although electric lights were hung at intervals in the cave, it was still very dark.

Chen Daji looked around and said with emotion:

"Old professor, you are so amazing, you dug such a big hole in three days!"

"If my workers were this efficient, then my dad could make a lot more money a year!"

Professor Ma smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"This cave already existed. It was just buried. We didn't dig it."

"If you get closer, you can see the paintings carved on the stone walls on both sides."

Hua Jiunan turned on the flashlight and looked, and sure enough he saw a long mural.

The content of the painting was normal at first:

A group of people hunt and live their daily lives, and then there are scenes of war.

The painting becomes weird at the end:

The soldiers killed a large group of prisoners of war, then cut off their heads and placed them in black jars.

Several people in strange costumes danced strangely around the jar.

That posture is simply not something a normal person can do.

Professor Ma said:

"I have consulted a lot of information, and what is recorded on the stone wall should be an ancient way of worship."

Hua Jiunan nodded, because he had also read some records of this in the book.

Human sacrifice!

One of the top ten horrific customs in the world!

The ancients believed that everything in the universe was controlled by gods.

Therefore, people pray for blessings from gods through activities of worshiping gods.

Whenever worshiping gods, people take out valuable items as tributes, and in some places even use human lives as tributes to show piety.

Human sacrifice was very popular in the Shang Dynasty in my country. Human and animal sacrifices were used to worship ancestors and gods; human and dog sacrifices were used to lay foundations, etc.

The number of people he employed and the cruelty of his methods are beyond the imagination of future generations.

Of course, this kind of thing is not unique to our country. It was prevalent in many places around the world in ancient times.

For example, the Mayan and Aztec cultures were notorious for their murderous rituals.

Some people regard these two civilizations as the origins of this horrific custom.

It was believed that the ritual death of the victim was a way to please the gods and appease the soul.

The victims range from prisoners to babies to innocent girls.

They suffered a tragic fate: burned, beheaded, and buried alive.
