"A living sacrifice?" Gao Tieshan clearly had never heard of such a practice and could not help asking, "What is that?"
"A living sacrifice is an extremely cruel ritual in which ancestors are worshipped using living people.

The living person used as a sacrifice ultimately cannot escape death, but the process is quite protracted. Legend has it that doing this allows the gods to bestow blessings upon the family holding the sacrifice, ensuring the prosperity of their descendants for generations to come," Jiang Feng explained.
"That is utterly inhumane. Isn't that treating human beings like livestock?!" Gao Tieshan walked indignantly to the offering table, pulled out the incense, swept the offerings onto the floor, and picked up the spirit tablet.
