Chapter 539: Respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them
Qi Jinggong was calm and calm, but the ancestral temple in the capital of Qi State was busy at this time, and a sacrifice was about to be held.
It turns out that ghosts and gods usually live in the divine realm created by the power of incense and fire. In other words, only the divine realm can maintain the shape of ghosts and gods.
Ghosts and gods are not souls, and they are fragile even when combined with spiritual machines. However, human thoughts are very magical. When combined with spiritual machines, they form the so-called incense, which has wonderful power. It can not only make ghosts and gods last forever, but also increase their energy.
its power.
It's just that the ghost path is deep and deep. Over time, even the ancestral spirits will gradually lose themselves and eventually become ghosts and gods in the impression of all living beings. This is not the way to live forever.
But this does not hinder the prosperity of the way of ghosts and gods, especially the state of Chu, which is the leader among them.
It was only in later generations that with the decline of spiritual power, the thoughts of sentient beings could not be turned into incense and wishes, which made ghosts and gods disappear.
As for the follow-up, the inspiration revived, but the practice changed direction at that time. People of that era no longer prayed to God or Buddha, and worshiping ancestors was limited to rituals, and they were all about themselves.
Coupled with the practice of cultivation by the whole people, the way of ghosts and gods has been eliminated.
Practitioners are all solipsistic, and it is simply impossible for them to have a devout belief in other existences.
However, the future life is not without traces of the way of ghosts and gods. The way of the Holy Emperor created by the second generation Holy Emperor in times of crisis is a continuation of the way of ghosts and gods, and it is just a living person canonizing the gods.
But despite this, the price is that he will live longer than a hundred years.
At the same time, there is no doubt about their power. No matter how powerful the ghosts and gods are, they are only comparable to heavenly immortals, but the Holy Emperor is comparable to golden immortals. Although there is only one step difference between heavenly immortals and golden immortals, the difference in combat power is more than ten times.
On the ancient and majestic altar, each living person was sent to the altar. Some of these people were slaves, some were sinners, and some were prisoners of the enemy. Now, they are all sacrifices.
Human sacrifice and human burial have been practiced since ancient times.
A long time ago, the last emperor of the Shang Kingdom tried to abolish this rule, but unfortunately failed in the end.
When Zhou conquered the world, sacrifices and burials remained the same, and they became even more intensified.
Even when the Zhou Dynasty was established, the ancestors were named emperors of heaven, and their descendants were sons of emperors. They tried to use the methods of ghosts and gods to determine the cause of the universe for tens of thousands of years, and to make the country prosperous and prosperous for generations.
Unfortunately, Zhou Tianting failed in the end.
Now that the royal family is weak, even the ghosts and gods can only survive and no longer have the power they had in their heyday.
"If there is an enemy coming, I hope God will take action."
On the altar, the wizard responsible for the sacrifice uses dance and thoughts to communicate with ghosts and gods.
There are countless minor gods in Qi, but there are only eight great gods. If these eight great gods work together, they can become the supreme god and supreme lord!
However, such a change consumes a lot of power, but it cannot be performed easily.
As for the eight great gods, they are also named after the Lord. They are the Lord of Heaven, the Lord of Land, the Lord of Man, the Lord of Yin, the Lord of Yang, the Lord of Moon, the Lord of Sun, and the Lord of Four Seasons. These eight gods dominate everything. Initially, Qi Guo Shefeng
However, as time passed, the ancestral spirit lost its identity and turned into a pure ghost and god.
Descendants want to receive blessings, but they have to offer sacrifices in exchange.
Each of these eight masters, taken individually, has a power close to that of a calamity earth immortal. Together, the eight masters are invincible.
But this time, Qi sacrificed the eight masters together.
Indeed, Qi Jinggong acted very indifferently, but this does not mean that Qi Guoguo underestimated Zhao Cheng. After all, one of the Earth Immortals had already died in the calamity, so it was safe for the eight masters to come out together.
"Three thousand more for the sacrifice!"
The majestic voices of ghosts and gods echoed, but except for the wizard, everyone else only felt the cries of ghosts and gods between heaven and earth, and they couldn't help but feel frightened.
Masters of the Yuan Shen adopted their own inspiration and took the path of refining the Yuan Shen into pure Yang. In the end, the light was as bright as the sun.
Ghosts and gods, however, are yin in nature. The reason why they can appear holy during the day depends on the yang quality contained in the power of incense and aspiration.
If the incense is lost, the ghosts and gods will be destroyed immediately by the strong sun.
The smoke disappeared.
When the wizard heard this, he had no idea of bargaining. He immediately waved his hand, and batches of sacrifices were pushed onto the altar. A knife hand quickly cut off the head of a personal sacrifice, and the blood flowed away.
, and even converge into a river.
But soon, all the blood lost its freshness, as if the essence had been absorbed.
Immediately afterwards, eight divine lights were seen rushing out from the ancestral temple and heading towards the sky.
...
"No breath of thunder?!"
"It's been a long time since I've eaten celestial beings."
There seems to be some charm in this person, and knowledgeable people are more delicious and have a good taste."
"Brothers are right, I can already smell the fragrance."
"On weekdays, I eat only ordinary people, so ignorant..."
The ghosts and gods were extremely fast. In just a short while, they arrived at the border of Qi State and saw Zhao Cheng's carriage from a distance. In their eyes, the speed of Zhao Cheng's carriage was undoubtedly slow.
, and Zhao Cheng's aura is not strong.
He did not go to overcome the tribulation. Although now he can become an immortal with just a snap of his fingers, there is no need for it at the moment. With his mind, controlling this carrier, he is already invincible, so there is no need to waste that time.
The eight ghosts and gods, appearing in form at this moment, are majestic and sacred, as if the heaven, earth, sun, moon, and all phenomena in the world have their corresponding manifestations.
It's just that the words they said don't sound like the words of the righteous gods.
The final decline of the way of ghosts and gods has something to do with the fact that the nature of ghosts and gods is hard to change.
As for ghosts and gods, they are ghosts first and then gods.
"Those are the eight ghosts and gods worshiped by Qi State. If the eight ghosts and gods work together, if the golden immortal cannot come out, no one can compete with them."
"Master, let's take a moment."
"Ghosts and gods cannot live forever outside. They must be sacrificed every time they appear in this world. It is in our interest to slow down."
Seeing the ghosts and gods, the two immortals driving the carriage on Zhao Cheng's carriage immediately spoke.
It's not that they have abandoned the dark and turned to the light, but that ghosts and gods don't care whether they fake surrender. Indeed, ghosts and gods are bound by the fate of the country and must be used by their masters, but this does not mean that ghosts and gods will not take advantage of loopholes.
Ghosts and gods are ruthless, ruthless and greedy, which can be said to have brought the evil roots of ghosts to the extreme.
"Master, when you first lectured, didn't you also say that you should respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them?!"
Yuanshen Zhenxian tried again to persuade him. Although he had just surrendered not long ago, he had already borrowed books from Confucius' students and systematically studied Confucius' principles, so as to avoid being a bad person and doing the wrong thing.
If you make a mistake, you will be killed by the other party.
The other party has a criminal record for this kind of thing.
"Indeed, respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them."
Zhao Cheng nodded and did not deny it.
"Yan Lu, please explain to your two junior brothers what this sentence means."
When Yan Lu heard this, he immediately said seriously: "What the teacher means is that as long as the fist is hard enough, ghosts and gods should stay away in awe!"
"The one who knows me is Yan Lu."
Zhao Cheng took one step forward, and his whole body became towering, and even the sky became dim. The originally huge ghosts and gods were now like a few specks of dust.
