Chapter 320 The bitter things of the Dagan Dynasty
The boundary between mountains and sea, Kunlun Mountain.
The Daqian Dynasty has been in existence for thousands of years.
On this day, a massive sacrificial ceremony took place in the imperial city of Guangdu in the Kunlun Mountains, where the innate god "King of the West" lived.
"Your Majesty, the time has come."
The young emperor put down the memorial at hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
The contents of the memorial were nothing more than famine, disease, evil spirits and natural disasters, peasant uprisings, official corruption, and mostly bad news.
One of the memorials clearly read, "An evil god storm occurred in Fenghua City, killing and injuring more than 10,000 people."
However, for the Daqian Dynasty, this kind of thing happened every year, and more than 10,000 people were just a small number.
Since this turmoil has been stopped by the local squire, and it is a remote town, we can only accept it - not that we are powerless, but that it is not cost-effective from an economic perspective. This kind of city has no special products, and it is not a strategy. There is no point in sending a large army to a strategic location.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading recently to catch up on books, change sources, and read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
The emperor got on the Jade Road Car and looked at the Jianmu ruins in the distance. He was a little confused and a little puzzled. Whether it was astrology, Feng Shui or divination, the Daqian Dynasty, no, the entire mountain and sea world, was about to usher in a wave of violence. Fierce storms.
The impending storm is frightening and one cannot see the road ahead.
"Tap, tap," the big horse pulled the carriage and took neat steps.
The Jade Road Car is the most noble car among the "Five Roads of the Emperor". It is named after "Jade", which means nobility and luxury. It was specially used by the emperor when he went to worship the gods and ancestors.
In addition to the Jade Road Car, there are also "Gold Road", "Elephant Road", "Ge Road" and "Wooden Road".
"Jade" is also a special existence in Kunlun Mountain, because the body of the local god "Xi Wang" is a piece of beautiful jade.
…
…
The legendary "building wood" was planted by the Emperor of Heaven with the sacred soil "breathing soil", and was also known as the "ladder to the sky". In the distant ancient times, no matter whether it was a ghost or a monster, if you wanted to enter the mountains and seas The world can only come along this tree.
"Jianmu" is also the center of the mountain and sea world.
According to records from ancient times, after a shocking battle, a big hole was opened in the sky, the huge building collapsed, and its majestic body turned into nine suspended peaks.
Jianmu used his last vitality to condense a piece of pure and flawless white jade on the most central peak, Kunlun Mountain. At first, this jade was the size of a baby and looked like a human baby. It was called the "King of the West" by later generations.
In ancient times, a nobleman "Qi" obtained this beautiful jade and worshiped it day and night, but he never saw its extraordinary power.
I also heard that there is a deity named "Unknown" who has little magic power but is good at raising jade.
One day, the nameless person came to Guangdu to visit. "Qi" knew that the other party was going to pass by his house, so he placed a baby-sized jade on the road, hoping to use this rare and precious thing to stop the "nameless person" and ask him to raise the jade. Law.
Sure enough, when Anonymous saw this beautiful jade, he stopped walking and admired it carefully.
He sighed and said: "Although this jade is good, it is unfortunately polluted by the world, heavy with distracting thoughts, and no longer intelligent."
"It needs to be warmed and nourished with the blood of a saint to make its six roots purified again, and then buried deep under the building for ten years. It must also be watered with the blood of a saint. In this way, there is still a chance of salvation."
"Let the six roots become turbid again, give them to beggars, and spread them among the people. They are used by masters, government officials, raising scales, matchmakers, pawns, time demons, thieves, thieves, high platforms, blowers, circuses, pushers, pools, and back rubs.
It is widely spread among people who repair, match, beat dogs, sell oil, do pedicures, shave heads, carry food and clothes, tailors, craftsmen, and drummers... Wouldn't it be beautiful if this beautiful jade has endured hundreds of generations of suffering and traveled thousands of miles?"
"Finally, let him give birth to a heart of mortals. This will be the real mortal immortal, and he will be able to protect the human race for thousands of years. But if he can't do it..."
"Anonymous" left after saying that.
Hear "Qi" in your heart and act accordingly.
After eight years of hard work, they found the peach grove transformed by the ancient sage "Kuafu" and used the blood of the peach trees to warm and nourish the beautiful jade "King of the West" for three years.
He then took the white jade stone the size of a baby and brought it under the building wood. According to the "Anonymous"'s words, he buried it under the soil for ten years to purify its six roots.
Ten years later, the piece of white jade was dug out again.
A miracle happened, blood was born in the jade!
Like living jade, its shape also changes, like the size of a palm, appearing and disappearing, regenerating, and possessing extraordinary magical power.
It is already a true innate god.
At this time, according to what the Anonymous said, this beautiful jade needs to be given to a person in the lower-level professions, so that they can go through hundreds of lives of suffering and travel thousands of miles to make their six senses muddy again, so that they can become a true immortal who can stand up to the world of mortals!
But the bad thing is that at that moment, the owner of this piece of beautiful jade, "Qi", became greedy.
With the divine power of the "Western King" to help him, he can unify the Kunlun Mountains and become a great emperor! If the "Western King" is transferred to someone else, he will have to suffer for hundreds of lives and travel thousands of miles...he, the original owner, will die of old age.
Got it!
Therefore, "Qi" has not completed all the steps of "Western King" training.
With the help of the "Western King", he spent the next ten years unifying the Kunlun Mountains.
However, the unified dynasty "Great Xia" did not live long. The fourteenth emperor was extremely cruel, the people were in dire straits, and the people complained. The Great Xia Dynasty fell apart in four hundred years.
After that, it went through the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Great Qin Dynasty, the Great Han Dynasty, and then the current Great Qian Dynasty.
Of course, no matter which dynasty it is, they all worship the "Western King" as the righteous god, because this god is so powerful that if you please it, you can gain omnipotent power.
…
Not long after, the jade car arrived at the Jianmu site.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
The young emperor woke up from his doze and sighed once again.
In the ancient Weiwei Mountains, among the vast sea of clouds, there was a sense of eeriness and silence. In the huge palace, the sound of reciting could be heard faintly.
"The Holy Land of Civil and Military Affairs, the Root of Etiquette and Yiyi, One of the Four Seas, a Public Sacrifice for Relatives and Spirits..."
The contemporary great heavenly master, Fu Tianyuan, is offering sacrifices, praying and offering incense at the Jianmu site.
The piece of white jade is placed in the center of the palace, exuding powerful divine power that is difficult to look directly at. This magnificent palace forms a huge space of its own, with clouds of dense purple energy floating above the high temple.
And above the purple air, it is dotted with shining stars like the Milky Way in the starry sky.
The "King of the West" at this moment has developed his own Mohu consciousness after thousands of years.
However, in the vast and boundless palace, there is a faint hint of scarlet cruelty and a hint of gentleness missing.
Even this ray of divine power emanates from it, vaguely affecting the minds of those around it.
…
Fu Tianyuan took a long breath, strengthened his will, and said loudly: "Blow the drums, ring the bells, and play music!"
The sonorous sound sounded.
The thirteen strings of drums represent the thirteen suspended mountains in the world of mountains and seas; the bells ring nine times, nine being the ultimate number, which means the highest ceremony; the music played is also the thirteen strings of the palace.
Next, the young emperor of the Daqian Dynasty, Li Hao, offered sacrifices, burned incense and prayed.
He lit three bouquets of incense and bowed respectfully.
"...Yu Wei, the holy god, is born in the ancient times; he succeeds in establishing the ultimate goal, opening things up and accomplishing things. His achievements are prosperous and will benefit all generations. I only give it to you; I only inherit the order of heaven, practice the rituals, and use prayers to learn from them. May you bless our country forever!"
In the world of mountains and seas, divine power and royal power depend on each other and neither is indispensable.
Gods do not understand how human society operates, nor do they interfere in the construction of various social systems, but they need human sacrifices to maintain their own status.
And humans also need the power of God to survive in this cruel world.
This is a mutually dependent relationship.
However, this time the sacrificial ceremony did not go smoothly.
In the short time of burning the incense, the emperor was sweating profusely, as if he was exhausted, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
All the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, including the Great Celestial Master of the Kunlun lineage and others, all remained silent, taciturn, and sweating profusely.
Because, the entire palace echoed with the "Western King"'s angry roar of filial piety and strong evil thoughts!
It is not interested in pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese.
It wants to...eat people!
eat human!
eat human!
"The King of the West" expressed his dissatisfaction with this ceremony in his own way.
The cause of tomorrow and the effect of today, after suffering for hundreds of lives, it is not a real immortal in the world of mortals after all. Perhaps it is influenced by some outside existence and has evil thoughts.
A sacrificial ceremony that ended in an anticlimactic manner ended like this.
When Emperor Li Hao left, his body was still trembling, and the evil thoughts of "Western King" lingering in his mind.
Even he himself was seriously affected, his mouth was full of saliva and hatred, his blood was boiling, and he wished he could find some fresh children to eat.
It wasn't until he was far away from the hall that he restrained this terrifying desire from the depths of his soul.
Strong panic enveloped my mind.
The biggest god on Kunlun Mountain is about to transform into an evil god. How can these mortal beings withstand the anger and cruelty of the evil god?
After returning to the square and seeing Grand Master Fu Tianyuan following him, the emperor slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master Fu Tian, the 'King of the West' keeps expressing his desire to eat people... How is this different from an evil god? How could it be like this!"
Li Hao frowned and sighed.
Fu Tianyuan stroked his white beard and sighed deeply: "Your Majesty, you don't know. King Xi just has such an idea and does not really eat people. He is still restraining himself."
"I heard that the other innate gods on other suspended mountains... have long since turned into evil gods. Monsters are causing mischief everywhere, wars are raging, and people are in dire straits. This war between gods may spread. The King of the West was also affected by the general environment. It became like this because of the influence, alas.”
The emperor's face changed slightly, these things were mentioned frequently in the court.
Because the distance between the suspended mountains was too far, often thousands of miles away, I didn't pay much attention to it, and even thought of gloating about it.
Other dynasties collapsed, and the already weak Daqian dynasty became the best in this poor world.
But now his own "King of the West" also has evil thoughts.
Misfortune arises within the wall and turns into a place between the elbows and armpits.
If someone secretly sacrifices human life and blood to please the King of the West, it will be out of control, just like a cat that has stolen the fishy smell and can no longer suppress this evil thought.
Fu Tianyuan sighed: "Sacrificing human life to the gods can gain temporary strength, and can even please the gods and gain their support. But it is like putting out fire with firewood. If the firewood is not used up, the fire will never be extinguished. This is the way to die.
!”
"Of course I know."
However, what worries them is that there are always some careerists in the world who try to use the power of evil gods to overthrow the entire dynasty.
Driven by interests, as long as one can sit on the throne, even if it is only for one generation, it is good.
There have been many incidents in history where people were forced to put out fires without paying their dues.
The arrow has to be fired when the arrow is on the string. The great changes in the troubled times have already begun.
Thinking about it this way, there is a feeling that a storm is coming and dark clouds are coming over the city.
"Great Heavenly Master, we must not let those evil people succeed!" the emperor shouted in a low voice.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have sent Taoist soldiers to guard the Jianmu Taoist Temple to deter the young people. Anyone who breaks into the Taoist temple without permission will be shot without mercy!"
"I feel at ease when Master Fu Tian is doing his work... I wonder how many people will be left in this mountain and sea world after this disaster?" the emperor said worriedly.
"Your Majesty is merciful. As for this matter, know the destiny and do your best. The destiny is terrible and you cannot act against it...How many people will survive can only depend on the fate of heaven and earth, and we cannot predict it."
Although the emperor was not very old, he still had the city in his heart. He shook his head with his hands behind his back, and sighed slightly: "Not to mention these, has Fu Tianshi found any traces of Ksitigarbha?"
As soon as this sentence came out, the atmosphere was silent for a while.
"Ksitigarbha may have really... fallen." Fu Tianyuan also shook his head and said, "There is no trace left, otherwise it wouldn't be like this."
Speaking of Ksitigarbha, the Great Heavenly Master was also filled with emotion.
Although Taoists and Taoists do not agree with each other, he still has a good impression of this god who has made great contributions.
The person with great ambitions who said "If I don't go to hell, who will?" seems to have been wiped away by the "evil god".
Even its followers, the monks from the Jiuhua Mountain lineage, were hunted to death. Due to the severe impact on the general environment, even the traditional righteous gods began to be unable to restrain their evil thoughts and wanted to eat people.
The emperor asked again: "Where is the great god who calls himself 'Emperor of Heaven'? Do you have any clues? What is his rank?"
"That person's rank is naturally not low." Fu Tianyuan shook his head in embarrassment, "But... there is no trace of him. He really can't be found."
"The great god disappeared immediately after saying a word, and his whereabouts are unknown. For several months, evil gods all over the mountains and fields have been looking for him, but they can't find him."
"I speculate that it may be that the god from the outer world came to our world and was born like 'Ksitigarbha', but the timing was really bad and the ambition he made was too broad. If his ambition is
Really, you really have to have the ability to turn the world upside down and reorganize the order of the mountains and seas before you can be called 'Heaven'."
Fu Tianyuan pondered for a moment and said with a complex expression: "It's just that it's hard to reach the sky by turning things upside down."
The sudden appearance of the "big sun" was spectacular, revealing the vastness and power of the "Emperor of Heaven".
But the struggle in the world of mountains and seas is not that simple.
The more powerful a god is, the more limited his power is. At most, he can only condense one incarnation, which cannot exert one ten thousandth of his power.
On the contrary, some evil gods in remote areas are able to physically attack and massacre human beings.
In this case, the struggle between humans is the most important!
Now facing the vast and almost infinite evil gods, as long as a group of people who believe in "Emperor Heaven" are killed, then it will have no power but nowhere to use it, and it will be useless no matter how strong it is.
Can this thing be accomplished? Fu Tianyuan can't imagine any army that can unify the entire mountain and sea world. It is already extremely difficult to unify a suspended mountain.
"That's why Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has become invisible." Fu Tianyuan said, "Because the Jiuhua Mountain lineage that believed in Ksitigarbha has been slaughtered."
When the emperor heard this, he clenched his fists with a depressed expression.
"Nowadays, even if there are people who believe in the 'Emperor of Heaven', they are only a small group of people, otherwise their traces would have been found long ago."
"As long as the dazed evil god kills these people, no matter how strong 'Huang Tian' is, he will only fall."
"Can we search for it? Seek its help?" Emperor Li Hao asked again.
Fu Tianyuan shook his head: "Look for it, ask for help... That may bring about the rise of dynasties, and that person's ambition is to reorganize the world. Your Majesty, are you willing?"
This question seemed to point directly to people's hearts. The emperor was stunned for a long time and could only avoid answering.
…
…
This conversation ultimately yielded no results.
Everyone had their own thoughts and left in silence.
All mortals have selfish desires. If the "King of the West" had experienced hundreds of lives of suffering and traveled thousands of miles when he was born, he would have become a worldly immortal, and it would be impossible for him to have evil thoughts of cannibalism today.
But the mistakes of the past cannot be made up for, and the mistakes of the present are still going on.
"Reorganize the world and overthrow the Daqian Dynasty? Your Majesty, of course you are not willing to do so. What is the difference between this and the 'Qi' who nurtured the King of the West?"
Fu Tianyuan sighed, and on a whim, he suddenly sensed something. He had to prepare for the funeral of the Kunlun lineage.
"Know your destiny and do your best."
"Teacher, we have figured it out... some Taoist priests in remote suburbs have been infiltrated by evil gods!"
"The latest natural disaster that broke out in Fenghua City was also secretly caused by my apprentices from the Kunlun lineage. How could they help the tiger and harm the human race? They really deserve death!"
Five or six young Celestial Masters rushed up to Fu Tianyuan in a blink of an eye. Some were men and women, some were gentle and elegant, some were wise and daring. They were all his students in their weak years.
When these people talked about this matter, their faces were filled with anger and helplessness. The world of mountains and seas is so big that even if they know this information through divination, they are often powerless. It would take several people to ride a horse to reach those small marginal towns.
What's more, this corrupt environment cannot be changed by a single individual.
"Fortunately, a group of local heroes were born in Fenghua City, and the righteous god 'Turtle Spirit Mother' also played her part in extinguishing this natural disaster." The young man named Zhongli said excitedly,
"I really want to meet those brave locals who killed the evil gods. They are truly heroes."
