Human Sacrifice
Long Yi, who was cultivating in the Dragon Palace, didn't know that two days had passed. Rumors of dragons being discovered in the Heavenly Dragon Lake kept spreading, but most people didn't believe it. This was because people often said that they had discovered dragons. This time, it was probably the same rumor as before!
The three people who discovered the dragon first were the communicators of this discovery. No matter whether people in other places believed it or not, people in the little girl's village believed it. It was said that there was a divine dragon in the village since ancient times. Therefore, the little girl went back and told them about it. The village head then took some people to collect money and prepare to repair the shabby divine dragon temple beside Tianlong Lake!
Charlie, the man who had followed the little girl back, was unusually stingy. He was famous for being stingy, and he was also stingy with himself. When he heard that the Divine Dragon Temple was being built, he immediately expressed that he was prepared to donate 1,000 dollars. With this 1,000 yuan, the Divine Dragon Temple was repaired on the same day!
The Dragon God Temple had always existed, and it wouldn't cost much money to repair it. In the 1930s, in Beiping, one silver dollar could buy a "mutton hotpot". In Shanghai, one silver yuan could buy two Western dishes. To visit the park, one silver dollar could buy 20 tickets. A silver dollar can buy ten tickets to a play. As for spiritual food, a newspaper sold for 3 cents, and one silver dollar could be used to buy a whole month's worth of newspapers. The Scream was sold for 70 cents. One silver dollar could buy a thick book or two thin books. From this, we can get a specific concept of the value of a silver yuan (or national currency) in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.
Even though the Jewels believed in Judaism, they still paid attention to reality. This was the first time Charlie had seen a real legendary god. If the Divine Dragon Sect existed now, he would immediately betray the sect and join the Divine Dragon Sect!
Charlie, who had returned to Shanghai, immediately found all his relatives and friends and told everyone about the discovery of the dragon. However, he was ridiculed by almost everyone, and some only sympathized with him! He looked at Charlie as if he was looking at a fool!
In the end, Charlie went berserk. He felt that no one in this world could believe in the truth anymore. As expected, the truth in this world was only in the hands of a few people, and this minority included himself!
He immediately found his driver. Because he had discovered the dragon with him, he felt that this driver was also one of the minority, so he treated him very well!
"My dear king, you know that I want to contact the Dragon God, but how can I find him?”Charlie asked!
His driver's surname was Wang, and he was already in his thirties. In the 1930s, there were very few people who knew how to drive. In the entire country, not many people saw it, so he could be considered a middle-class person, even though he was only a driver!
When he heard that Charlie wanted to contact the dragon, he wanted to contact the dragon too, but who knew how to contact it! This Charlie was his boss. Wasn't it his job to solve problems for his boss?
He thought for a moment and said,"Boss! I'm not sure about this, but since ancient times, if you want the Dragon King to show his spirit, you must ask a master to do it! On the sacrifice, there would be young boys and girls, cows, dogs, sheep, pigs, chickens ~ Then, the master would ask the Dragon King to show his spirit!”
The driver thought for a while and thought that this was the only way. After saying that, he felt a little uneasy because he was also a person who had received education. Using young boys and girls as sacrifices was the cruelest!
During the period of the Republic of China, there was very little control at the grassroots level. Those with power and influence could basically do whatever they wanted!
Using virgin boys and girls as sacrifices was passed down from ancient times. It was not strange for it to happen in remote villages! Of course, he would do it more discreetly. After all, it was a matter of damaging one's virtue!
Even if such a thing happened, no one would record it.
"Really?" Charlie's eyes immediately lit up. Being able to communicate with the legendary Divine Dragon was something he had dreamed of. It had even formed his own obsession! He had not been thinking about food or tea for the past few days. He had not even done business!
Hearing the driver's words, he immediately remembered that in ancient Europe, wasn't human sacrifice very common?
The ancient people of Europe believed that everything was controlled by the gods. Therefore, people prayed to the gods for blessings through sacrificial activities. Every time they offered sacrifices to the gods, people would take out valuable items as tributes. Some places even used human lives as tributes to show their devotion.
Late at night, in front of a strange bronze statue of Baal, there was a large pile of burning firewood. The 500 children were sacrificed to Baal. The children, whose throats might have been slit, were placed in the hands of the statue before being thrown into the fire and burned to ashes.
During the sacrificial ceremony, the drums and music were loud and lively. Masked dancers and powerful priests presided over the ceremony together. Parents who sacrificed their children as tributes had to stand aside and watch without shedding a tear. It was a privilege to sacrifice their children to God, not something ordinary parents could enjoy. This glory was only given to the noblest families.
Originally, Charlie was a person from a civilized society. He was very disgusted with the bad habit of human sacrifice. However, there were already gods (dragons) in this world. There was nothing wrong with using some lives to sacrifice to the gods!
"Then, my dear king, do you know how to buy these virgins? Cows, dogs, sheep, pigs, and chickens should be very convenient to buy!”Charlie asked!
"Right, Mr. Charlie? Cows, dogs, sheep, pigs, and chickens are very easy to buy, but it's not easy to find boys and girls. Recently, there's been a lot of chaos here. And this year's war in the Central Plains! Many families had already fled everywhere. Besides the International Settlement and the French Settlement, other places in Shanghai were already filled with refugees. They could buy the children of those refugees!”The driver surnamed Wang said!
After saying that, he still felt extremely uneasy. After saying that, he regretted it. He was sending those children to their deaths! He hoped that his boss would not use this method. Otherwise, he might really be knocked on by ghosts in the future! Who asked him to come up with this idea!!
"That's great, that's great. Wang, your salary this month will be doubled. Then, who were the trustworthy masters around Shanghai? "Invite a respected master for me. I want to ask him to perform a ritual," Charlie said excitedly!
The driver was not happy at all when he heard that he would be given a raise. He thought, Oh no, my boss is really going to sacrifice a virgin boy and a virgin girl. It's all my fault. I'll have to ask the master to do the ritual for me later so that the souls of these virgins won't come looking for me!
"It's easy for Taoist priest. Recently, Taoist priest Huang from Liupan Mountain has been performing rituals for some big families in Shanghai. However, he charges a hundred yuan each time! It's a little expensive!" The driver said that in this era, the competition for Taoist priests was not small! Because there were too many Taoist priests, the price was very low. It was basically around three to five dollars!
"There's no problem with that. The more expensive it is, the better it should be. I should be able to see the divine dragon!”Charlie said!
