"——When the Panlong Wasteland was restored to a desperate situation and the Gale Army was at the end of its rope, Zhong Shengguang held a blood sacrifice to reward the gods!"
He Lingchuan lost his voice and said: "Reward God!"
Nian Songyu raised his finger in front of his lips and said softly: "Keep your voice down, you are going to be beheaded if you talk about this."
He Chunhua's face was solemn, and he also lowered his voice: "Since it is a reward for the gods, of course it should be kept secret."
To reward the gods is to sacrifice blood to the gods.
The Yuan Kingdom wrote the prohibition of rewarding gods into the national law. This is a fundamental law, and the punishment is extremely severe. Once discovered, the lightest one is beheading, and the more severe ones are punished by the clan, and the officials will not forgive.
In fact, it is not just the Kite Kingdom, but all other countries in the world are like this. The only difference is the severity of the punishment.
Of course, He Lingchuan would never forget that the emperor beheaded his entire family because his grandfather was falsely accused. The crime was "rewarding the gods." These two words were a thorn in the heart of the He family.
However, the so-called prohibition on worshiping gods does not include worshiping folk pantheon gods such as mountain and water spirits, mountain monsters, door gods, kitchen gods, and gods of wealth and fortune. After all, people have instinctive requirements for promotion, wealth, and good health, and they cannot be curbed.
What is expressly prohibited by various countries is private worship of specific, specific gods, which are what the officials call "evil gods" and "evil gods".
For example, the crime that caused the heads of He Lingchuan's tribe to fall to the ground was to pay homage to "True Lord Tongming".
Here comes the important point - the most important basis for determining "rewarding the gods" depends on whether there are living sacrifices or human sacrifices in the ceremony. If you just recite a few words in your heart, or offer a few plates of roasted chicken and cured fish to the gods,
No matter who you worship, the country won't bother to care about you.
"Which god did Zhong Shengguang worship?"
"Mitian."
Sun Fudong then explained, "There is no honorific title because the original text is simply written, 'Bow down and worship, and ask for relief from the sky'. Xiluo also forbids paying tribute to gods, and Zhong Shengguang did it as a last resort. I don't think He Jian will record the whole process in detail."
"
This name was too unfamiliar, and He Chunhua pondered: "Has the Imperial Master ever heard of this god?"
"Never." Sun Fudong shook his head, "But Zhong Shengguang adopted a blood sacrifice, and the sacrifice was his own daughter!"
He Chunhua's expression changed: "What?"
Zhong Shengguang was really a ruthless man and sacrificed all his own flesh and blood to the gods.
He Lingchuan secretly smacked his tongue, no wonder it was an evil god who wanted to take human lives.
"So what did this god give back?"
"The gods are very pleased and have given them generous gifts to deal with the enemy. Kill one and a hundred." Sun Fudong spread his hands and said, "There are only so many original words that can be excerpted. The rest have been defaced and cannot be seen."
"Writing it is the same as not writing it. God is so generous, what kind of magical thing did he give to defeat the enemy?" He Lingchuan was dissatisfied, "You two have come thousands of miles away, you must have a clue, right?" Don't be too pretentious at this time.
He felt a little sad in his heart. No matter how brave and powerful Zhong Shengguang was, when he was exhausted and unable to save his life, he couldn't help but ask the gods for help.
On the other hand, what means does the gods have to enable the Gale Army, which is in a deadlock, to come back against the wind and survive for another twenty years?
The boy was ignorant and dared to be disrespectful to the Imperial Master. Sun Fudong glanced at him and said, "I couldn't tell the reason just based on He Jian's book, until Da Sima found an ancient letter not long ago, which was a last letter handwritten by Zhong Shengguang's personal guard.
Comparing these two ancient artifacts, the truth is finally revealed!"
While the He family father and son were concentrating, the answer to the mystery was finally revealed: "The treasure given by God Mi Tian is called 'Da Fang'! Zhong Shengguang calls it 'Da Fang Pot', but it is actually the nest of the heart-challenging insect."
Heart-challenging insect? He Lingchuan admired the person who named it. It was so straightforward and easy to understand. Others knew what this insect could do as soon as they heard it.
However, his own father immediately complicated a simple thing: "Does this thing have a proper name? It's called 'Three Corpse Insects'?"
"Yes, it is the Three Corpse Insect." Nian Songyu said with a smile, "It is completely invisible and insubstantial. It resides in the head, abdomen, and feet of human beings, causing evil delusions and depression. Regardless of whether it is a warrior or a magician, the first level of enlightenment is
You have to kill three corpses in one step to break your obsession. However, the big soldiers in the army can't deal with it at all, so it becomes a big killer on the battlefield."
"The army's bloody aura is extremely strong, and it is protected by the national destiny. It naturally restrains all kinds of magic and evil spirits."
He Lingchuan knew this.
Military camps are never haunted. And large-scale magical powers are difficult to work on the battlefield unless the magicians and generals who cast the spells themselves are strongly blessed by the luck of the country.
Generally speaking, only the Imperial Master can do it, such as the Grand Master Sun in front of me.
Sun Fudong held up his palm and said: "These three corpse insects are something that humans originally had. They will not be repulsed by blood and vitality. They can easily attach themselves to the enemy and force them to obey his orders and turn against them. This is really true."
It’s a divine weapon!”
He Chunhua finally understood and exhaled a long breath: "In other words, you are here for this sacred object?"
"That's right." Sun Fudong finally explained the problem clearly, "Back then, it helped Zhong Shengguang defend the city, and now it can help us repel the enemy. You don't have to worry about the three zombies in the nest dying. That thing doesn't need to breathe to eat or drink."
He Lingchuan suddenly said: "Who is the Great Sima you just mentioned?"
Hearing the word "Da Sima" just now, the hearts of the He family and his son jumped.
"Who else?" Nian Songyu raised his eyebrows, "Of course it's the current emperor, the general of Zhuguo, and the chief minister Dong Haoming!"
Here it comes! He Lingchuan and his father looked at each other and said in their hearts, "It's true."
In just two months, the bodyguards of General Zhu's Mansion, the son of Xunzhou Mu, and Imperial Master Dayuan appeared in Blackwater City one after another. This is no accident.
It was only then that the connection between them became clear.
He Chunhua looked surprised: "It turned out to be the clue found by Da Sima. So you two came here, are you...?"
"The king discussed with Da Sima and sent me to the Panlong Desert to retrieve the big square pot before the bandits at Woling Pass built the boat and launched it into the water!" Sun Fudong pointed at Nian Songyu, "I was passing by Xunzhou, and General Nian sent me
We have strong subordinates to help us, led by Captain Nian. But in Blackwater City, we need guides, manpower, and other help!"
"Retrieve the big square pot?" He Lingchuan looked at his father's expression, then looked shocked, "Wait a minute, don't you want to rush into Panlong Desert? Hongya Road will be closed soon. Even a three-year-old child in Heishui City knows that at this time
If you go in, you will die!"
The louder he spoke, the louder and louder he spoke. In addition to being pretentious, he was also angry.
We have just enjoyed more than fifty good days, but are we in trouble?
Shocking crises, turning the tide and so on are the most annoying. He just wants to be a mediocre second-generation official who is just waiting to die!
He Chunhua also pondered: "Entering the Panlong Desert at this time is indeed a narrow escape. The two of you are not from Heishui City, and have never seen the ferocity of the Panlong Desert. It is difficult to use your magical powers there."
