C378 Altar
At this moment, Cao Qianwan had a serious expression on his face.
"Sect Master, wait a moment. In my opinion, this small tree might be an altar. Since ancient times, there has been a method of offering sacrifices to the five beasts. The sacrifices to the Heavens, to the Gods, to the ancestors, etc., could not be avoided. The five animals that paid particular attention to were cows, sheep, boars, dogs and chickens. When these livestock had yet to be domesticated... The five animals were the moose, deer, wolf, and rabbit.
But in the poorer ancient times, the five animals originally did not mean this. Instead, it meant that the five animals were like moose, deer, wolf, and rabbit. The five lives, in other words, were sacrificed with five lives. Only then can we express our respect to the heavens and the gods. " Seeing that the audience's reaction was not enthusiastic enough, Cao Qianwan nodded his head heavily. To show his seriousness.
"Yes! These five lives might be captured prisoners. Perhaps they are the five people chosen from our tribe, and they cannot be old, weak, or disabled. They must be the strongest men or the most beautiful women in the tribe. " Lee Huanqing covered her mouth when she saw Ke Lianguo's eyes were wide open. Only then did Cao Qianwan feel satisfied with the effect.
"This is too much. He actually wants to kill someone alive as a sacrifice?" Hee Jinfeng also expressed his disbelief.
"What's so unbelievable about that? As long as the rules were set, everyone would follow them. Then it will become normal. Every era has their own traces. We are only in this era, that is why we feel that what happened before is unbelievable.
In that ancient era, or those who were sacrificed would think that it was a form of glory. Because only they have the opportunity to approach the heavens, and they might even become the assistants and companions of the gods. This is truly a blessing that can't be fixed in a few lifetimes. "
" Yes, yes, that's true. Everyone in every era has their own boundaries of thinking. There are some things that they would not think of or feel that it is impossible even if they think of it. Only those who break the boundaries of thinking. Only then will they be able to create a great era. " Zhang Jingxuan agreed with Cao Qianwan's words because his vision and vision far exceeded his peers. Hee Jinfeng raised his eyebrows. Since the boss had said so, then it seemed like it was true.
"Yes. I also think that it is very likely that Mr. Cao would say it. However, this method of offering had not been used for thousands of years, but it had reappeared in this place at this moment. After all, this era does not allow it. Listening to what Tang Qi said, they should be used as sacrifices to offer the Shennong Whip as a divine item. The sacrifice was successful, and the treasure reappeared. Now that Tang Qi was saved by us, the process of the sacrifice was interrupted. I don't know why that red monster hasn't appeared yet."
Wong Beiming's words had also revealed the doubts in everyone's heart. Where did that ghost-like red monster go? Was it spying on the surroundings? Or had they both sunk into the bottom of the pond after fighting to the death with Hai Pingtao and the others? Everyone hoped that it was the latter, but unfortunately, they also knew. They couldn't always hope for good luck to happen.
Cao Qianwan's words interrupted everyone's contemplation.
"I read about it in an ancient book. Today, I was suddenly reminded of this mysterious place. Correspondingly to the five animals' sacrifice, it is called a five-star gathering, also known as the five-star chain.
I remember that the book recorded that the first five-star gathering was in the era when the Wu King defeated the Zhou King. The five stars gathered in a room, and that the Zhou Dynasty would replace Yin Shang.
The second Five Stars Gathering was in the Spring and Autumn period, and then Duke Qi Huan became the overlord of the Spring and Autumn period.
The third time was in the year of the Han and Gao Ancestors, and Liu Bang had seized the world. The fourth five-star gathering was in the ninth year of Tang Xuanzong's founding, signaling the start of the An Lushan Rebellion.
The fifth five-star gathering appeared at the end of the fifth generation, and it proved that Zhao Kuangyin had seized the power of the orphans and widows of Later Zhou.
The sixth five-star gathering appeared in the fifth year of Song Taizu's Qian De, and Song Taizong passed away for no apparent reason, allowing Song Taizong to succeed the throne.
Now, the seventh gathering should be arriving soon."
As he said this, Cao Qianwan's eyes shone with a different kind of light, especially at the end of his speech. It seemed like reading was really useful!
"Five stars? Which five stars is that?" Hee Jinfeng's face was rather thick. Others might not know, but they might not be willing to ask.
"It's naturally Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, and Mars." Cao Qianwan looked at Hee Jinfeng as if he was looking at an alien. He probably meant that there were actually people who did not know about this.
Alright, that expression really made people feel like they deserved a beating. However, Hee Jinfeng could only endure it and laugh it off. "Isn't it just metal, wood, water, fire and earth? Haha, I just forgot about it all of a sudden. What do you mean by five stars? Can't you just directly say five planets? Metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Who doesn't know? Hehe." He seemed to have a guilty conscience when he spoke, but the speaker had no intention of listening.
"Five stars gather, the five elements gather. That's right, the five elements gather, the God of Blessing God Equipment. Is there such a saying?" Zhang Jingxuan asked with some excitement, and then he saw that everyone was either shaking their heads or not expressing anything. No one cooperated with him at all. Thinking about it, other people didn't have as many masters as he did. If Cao Qianwan and Wong Beiming didn't know about it... It's even more impossible for others to know.
The five elements converged, metal, wood, water and fire. Zhang Jingxuan looked around, and after searching for a long time, he discovered that there was no way to gather all of them. Even if the poor little tree was wood, there would still be some earth under the little tree. Although the pond looked scary, it was indeed filled with water. There was still gold and fire left. Again. Where was it? Although the golden forest was as hard as gold, it wasn't real gold. Even if I light a fire and burn this small tree, I will not be able to gather the five elements. Could it be that the weapons that everyone brought in could be counted as well? No way, no way.
Seeing that he still could not come up with a reason after talking for a long time, Zhang Jingxuan still decided to use action to figure out everything. If he didn't say anything more, since Ke Lianguo was willing to go with him, Zhang Jingxuan did not want to dampen his enthusiasm. In fact, he was willing to be alone in his heart. This way, he wouldn't cause others to be in danger, and he wouldn't have to be distracted to take care of others when he attacked.
Ke Lianguo thought carefully, as if he had guessed what he was thinking. He walked to Zhang Jingxuan's side and said in a low voice, "Master, my life was saved. You don't have to care about me. If there is any danger, just run away. If you don't want to run away first, I will have to kill myself. "
After he finished speaking, he rushed into the water before Zhang Jingxuan could reply. He wanted to investigate the cave ahead of Zhang Jingxuan. He didn't know what it was. Zhang Jingxuan shook his head with a bitter smile. His brothers really couldn't do anything to them.
But no matter what, he couldn't let Ke Lianguo take the risk in front of him, so Zhang Jingxuan didn't have time to say goodbye to the big guy. He only shouted, "We should be back in an hour. You must leave before dark!"
