Plundering the Dao of the Immortal Journey Chapter 528: Sacrifice
The fleet turned and headed towards the nearest island. The fleet silently moved towards the target.
Soon, the outline of an island appeared in the eyes of everyone, and the outline gradually became larger. It was an uninhabited island. In order to prevent stranding and rocking, the fleet circled the island and found a natural dock to dock on.
The island is uninhabited, with extinct birds and beasts, and rugged rocks. Looking around, there are almost no green plants, and the area is still very small, only about 1 square kilometer.
"Quickly, now prepare the altar materials immediately, build them in the open area on the island, and bring all the remaining bulls down." Pei Ziyun ordered.
One by one, the altar materials were carried off the ship by the slaves. The soldiers were responsible for guarding. Under the supervision and planning of the priest on board, an altar was quickly established in the open area of the island.
The temporarily erected altar was circular, and the pedestal was built with earth and stones.
Pei Ziyun was wearing a white tunic, a bronze belt, and a dagger hanging from his waist, and he got off the battleship with a serious face.
A group of slaves drove the remaining eight bulls off the ship. After this time sailing at sea, these bulls lost some fat.
All the soldiers and slaves lined up in front of the altar.
After the unexplained prediction by Nereus, the sea god, now the soldiers and slaves are not emotionally unstable. Facing the prophecy of the gods, they are surprised in their hearts.
Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun no longer hesitated and said loudly: "Everyone, Nereus, the sea god, just told us a prophecy. My heart is a little apprehensive, but what is the worst result of this prophecy? It is the Greeks. Bring the army to chase and destroy our homeland of Troy. They did this once before and snatched our princess Hesione."
"The worst result is nothing more than this, but our Troy is no longer what it used to be. When we robbed them, it was originally for revenge and to restore our lost dignity."
"My dear friends, citizens, when Menelaus is chasing with the Allies, are you ready to attack the arrogant Greeks, let them see the tenacity and stubbornness of our Trojans? Unyielding, let them also taste the taste of failure."
"Troy will win." Pei Ziyun raised his arm and shouted.
"Sure to win."
"Sure to win."
The morale seems to have recovered a little under the blow of the seagod Nereus' unexplained prophecy. Pei Ziyun watched everyone rekindle hope and renewed their fighting spirit, and nodded slightly.
Pei Ziyun took the bull from the slave and drove the eight bulls into the altar. The priest took out the water from the jar and splashed the altar and the bull, and knelt down to pray to the gods of Olympus.
Helen stood in the crowd and shivered, as if feeling cold, she was a little worried when she heard the divine prophecy just now, for fear that Paris would send her back to Menelaus.
Although Paris’s impassioned words rekindled the soldiers’ hopes, she knew that Menelaus and the Greek coalition were strong, and she had no idea about Troy’s resistance to the powerful Greek coalition forces.
Pei Ziyun saw her embarrassment and went forward and took her hand to comfort.
"Helen, don’t be afraid. I used to have only one wife, Onone, but if I snatched you from the palace of Sparta, I will never regret it, let alone throw you to the angry Menelaus. Si."
In the plot, Menelaus raised his sword to kill Helen, and finally forgave Helen-now Helen doesn't know this, but he is afraid of the angry Menelaus.
"We fear the gods and prophecies, but I am not a weak person. Menelaus is chasing after him, and I will teach him severely."
Paris' palm brought warmth, and under the relief of his words, Helen's anxiety gradually calmed down.
"Parris, I am no longer afraid of you here." A faint smile appeared on Helen's face, and she leaned lightly on his shoulder.
Pei Ziyun thought over and over again and decided to use music to let the gods feel their mood at this moment, so he ordered the slaves to bring the harp from the ship, and played the harp when the priest prayed.
Pei Ziyun's piano art is of a great level, while Palliance is a master in harp and herding flute, and he is completely proficient in it.
"Fate, where do you take me?" Pei Ziyun played the song "Destiny" by the famous masters of later generations, which is very suitable for the situation and fits his current situation.
In the winter storm, the knight is charging, and the voice is sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes lower, sometimes higher, just like the journey of life.
The music slowly decreases, then slowly rises, looping twice. It seems that facing the fate of the sword, the sea of fire and the sea, he is afraid of patrolling, not daring to step forward, thinking of escape.
The fate is so terrible, people seem to have to bow their heads, but people can't live with their heads down forever, and then the tone of the music rushes straight up. Although the piano sounds, it seems to sound the horn of war.
In the fierce melody, fighting against each other, everyone seemed to see the sunset like blood, the battlefield was full of soldiers' corpses, and then the sound of the piano gradually decreased, with a deep sorrow and sadness, and the morning light swept across the battlefield. , She seemed to be a gentle woman, gently stroking the cheek of the fallen soldier.
It seems to be the supernatural power of Aphrodite, and the music is also particularly charming. The sound of the piano passes through the barriers and enters the Olympus.
The gods are immersed in the beautiful music, they seem to feel the ups and downs of fate, feel Paris's hesitation, unwillingness, and rise.
"I feel the impermanence of fate." Zeus said.
"My dear, that is the fate of mortals, and we are the masters of fate." Hera said to Zeus.
"Paris's fate has been determined. What if she is so talented?" Athena said.
Apollo himself is the **** of music. He listened quietly and felt the twists and turns of fate and the beauty of music itself.
The soldiers and slaves of the uninhabited island are listening to the music of Prince Paris. Although they don’t have the talent to appreciate the background, but such wonderful music, no matter who it is, as long as you listen quietly, you will feel some of it. Charm.
The soldiers saw their companions fighting on the battlefield in the sound of the piano, charging again and again, and finally in the **** sunset, they stayed on the battlefield forever, the breeze was blowing, the smoke dissipated, and the morning sun filled the ground, and They have nothing to do.
Some soldiers were full of tears, empathizing.
The slaves saw their pitiful life experience in their fate, and also experienced the twists and turns and injustices of fate.
Gusnier closed his eyes and murmured in his mouth, seeming to echo the poems of fate. He is the person who can appreciate the impermanence of fate. He was poor and poor now, but now he is prosperous and rich. His fate has undergone a major turning point. And to the peak, twists and turns.
Keselia’s tears were on her cheeks, and her fate changed from happiness to terrible, but she did not escape, but stubbornly met the challenge of fate.
In the sound of music, the priest waved his hands after praying. The slaves bound the eight bulls one by one. The priest took the knife and stabbed it with force. With a "poof", the bull hissed, and the blood spurted out like a spring of blood. On the altar.
The priest was very proficient in breaking the bull's belly, removing the internal organs and bones, cutting off the bull's head, sorting the meat, slaughtering eight bulls in a row, and placing all the separated beef on the altar.
Only when it was offered, Pei Ziyun's song happened to be finished. He washed his hands and picked up the gold cup, filling it with fine wine.
The music of destiny seems to still be echoing in my ears, Pei Ziyun stepped forward, poured the wine three times, and raised his hands to pray: "Great Zeus, my ancestor, the great Hera, the mother of the gods, awesome Hades, the turbulent Poseidon (poseidon), the gaia of the earth, Demeter (the harvest-giving), the wisdom and civilization of Athena (athena), the artemis with the bow and arrow Si, bright and bright Apollo..."
Pei Ziyun read the names of the Olympus gods one by one, saying: "The most precious thing of man is life, and life is only once for each of us."
"When I committed such a crime, I was afraid and shaken. I want to escape everything and take Helen to a place where no one knows."
"But I will always be the prince of Troy, I am a samurai, how can I easily escape the blame."
"Death, some are as heavy as Mount Ida, and some are as falling as leaves. I would like to leave the world~IndoMTL.com~ When looking back on the past, I can say that I have committed many sins, but I did not To escape and be ashamed, I want to put my life and my strength into my atonement and my destiny."
"Gods, I once offered sacrifices to you, just like today; Gods, I once sang to you, just like today; if you think about it, please give me courage and let me face my fate calmly Challenge it."
Following prayer, the bull didn't have many gods to use, only a few.
"Hades and Gaia took it, but almost none of the Olympus gods took it."
The feeling of the priest made Pei Ziyun immediately feel the effect of the sacrifice, and his heart sank.
Although Pei Ziyun is not optimistic about the sacrificial effect just now, but offering sacrifices to the gods can clearly see the attitudes of the gods, and secondly, it can make the gods clear about their attitude-he still respects Olympus as always The gods of the mountains.
In this case, the gods would not suspect that he had different intentions, so they would use thunderous methods to shoot directly.
In the upcoming battle of Troy, he wants to dance the dance of death on the edge of offending the bottom line of the gods, calmly reap the heroes who come to die, and improve his strength as soon as possible.
In order for the Gods to perform according to the "script" as always, you must first be a pious prince, which is very important.
But even with such mental preparation, the result still made Pei Ziyun's heart sink.
"This sacrifice is actually an atonement sacrifice, but it has not been accepted except for the gods representing the underworld and the earth."
"In the passage just now, I actually picked a certain famous sentence, which moved many people, but it was obvious that the gods were indifferent to it."
"Is this the difference between God and man?"
"Sentences that mortal cares and generous, or in the eyes of God, only find it ridiculous."
