Chapter 17 The Ancestral Temple of Ghosts and Gods Is Too Arrogant
The news of the discord between Emperor Xin and the great witch Zhu was only known to a very small number of top courtiers. Among them, Yin Jiao, who had always been around Queen Jiang, naturally knew this.
As a human king, Emperor Xin seemed powerful, but in fact he had many constraints. Among them was the Guishen Ancestral Temple where the Great Witch Zhu belonged.
Among them, witchcraft, large and small, went deep into various places in the Yin and Shang Dynasties, even the palace where Emperor Xin was located was no exception.
The ancestral temple of ghosts and gods in the palace is only allowed to go in on festive days, such as the Spring Festival, to worship ghosts and gods.
At that time, clean water was splashed and all the skeletons and other things were naturally cleaned up. In Di Xin's impression, there was no difference between the Ghost and God Ancestral Temple and the palace outside.
Being able to steal food in the heavily guarded Ghost and God Ancestral Temple is no less difficult than breaking into a palace.
…
Yin Jiao, who was suddenly stared at by Di Xin, said directly and forcefully, "Yes, father, Jiao'er just wants you to see the true appearance of the Ghost and God Ancestral Temple."
Yin Jiao was raised by that Xiangu He since she was a child. She hated evil in her heart and hated to see innocent people die tragically.
Di Xin looked at Yin Jiao and couldn't help but patted his shoulder and said, "Gu's son has grown up and has his own ideas, okay."
After saying that, Di Xin led a group of guards and rushed in directly.
A group of little shamans and witches ran over and said, "Your Majesty, the majesty of ghosts and gods cannot be blasphemed. Please go back and make sure you don't make the same mistake again!"
"Ouch!"
Di Xin went up and kicked over the little Wu Zhu who was thinking in vain, and then said, "There is a place in Gu's palace that Gu cannot come to! Anyone who dares to stop him will be killed without mercy!"
The guards beside Di Xin took out the swords in their hands, as if they would kill anyone who dared to stop him.
The little Wu Zhu who was kicked over sent someone to notify Master Wu Ji, while he kept kowtowing to Di Xin, hoping to stop Di Xin's progress.
Di Xin ignored the little witch Zhu at all and rushed in directly, but the witches no longer dared to stop him.
Behind him, Yin Jiao showed a rare smile, as if his evil plan had succeeded, and as if he felt his father's love for the first time. This wonderful feeling made him even forget his previous unhappiness.
[Yinjiao’s loyalty increases!]
…
I just saw the gate of Guishen Ancestral Temple, and when I was about to step through, the gate opened wide.
A shaman priest, whose whole body was covered in black robes and whose face was painted with ghost symbols using unknown paint, slowly walked out.
Following the gap in the door, one could see Yin Hong's thin body kneeling inside.
"Hong Di!"
"Crack!"
The door was closed, but Yin Hong was still kneeling in the temple, not relieved by the arrival of Emperor Xin.
Di Xin's face instantly became extremely gloomy, and the guards around him felt Di Xin's anger and drew their swords one after another.
"Meet the King!"
Master Shamanji said he would like to greet him, but no one saw him lower his head. Instead, he looked aloof.
"How dare you disrespect the human king!"
It seemed that father and son were connected. When Yin Jiao saw how unreasonable the shamanic sacrifice was, he became furious.
"Prince Yin Jiao, I started worshiping ghosts and gods. Everything about the human race has nothing to do with me anymore. I serve the ghosts and gods wholeheartedly, and I am the spokesperson of the ghosts and gods. Even if I am a human king, if I want to receive my worship after death, I will not be in hardship. I must now
Respect me, your Majesty knows this, right?"
It seemed like he was teaching Yin Jiao a lesson, but in fact he had a hidden message. He said this entirely for Di Xin.
Since the founding of Chengtang, after the death of kings of all generations, they would accept offerings from the Great Witch Zhu, maintaining Chengtang's luck while enjoying the food of the deceased.
This is the foundation of a country and the reason why merchants value sacrifice so much.
Even in the classics, after the death of the human king, the courtiers would be extradited to the ghost kingdom to enjoy the extraordinary powers brought by the national destiny.
These human kings have a new name, ghost immortals.
But all of this must be supported by the destiny of the country, otherwise it will be like a rootless tree, and the ghost country can be destroyed at any time.
Because of this, the kings of all ages were so afraid of the ancestral temples of ghosts and gods, and some kings even deliberately tried to please them.
Yin Jiao studied under Chan Jiao, so he naturally had no good impressions of these ghosts and gods. As for Emperor Xin, it would be nonsense to expect this later generation to engage in feudal superstition.
"Haha, humans exist between heaven and earth, and their awe comes from within, not from the outside. A gentleman respects ghosts and gods and keeps them at a distance, while a villain fears ghosts and gods and commands them. This can be called wisdom."
"Retributions for good and evil are only brought upon oneself. The so-called practice is to seek nothing from the outside, but to guard within, and cultivate oneself with a correct mind as the foundation!"
Di Xin spoke sonorously and forcefully, describing the shamanic sacrifice in every line, as if he were a villain.
The witch priest was scolded and turned red and white. He pointed at Di Xin and cursed, "You are a foolish king! You don't respect ghosts and gods. Be careful that you will not be able to survive after you die!"
As soon as Wuji finished speaking, a big foot kicked him directly in the face.
The shoe prints on the entire face were clearly visible, and the scene was completely silent.
"Hunjun! I will fight with you!"
Just when Wu Ji was about to use the power of ghosts and gods to pull Di Xin into the world of the dead, a powerful Yang Qi directly dispersed Wu Ji's Yin Qi.
"Moo moo!"
"Who dares to hurt my king!"
I saw an armored man descending from the sky, carrying a golden stick and a reed spear, and riding a five-color sacred bull. This man's strong Qi and blood immediately dispersed the Yin Qi.
This big man is Huang Feihu who came to rescue him.
Wielding a long spear, Huang Feihu was extremely powerful with the help of the five-color sacred bull.
Wu Ji wanted to resist, but the witchcraft in his hand was like nothing in front of Huang Feihu. The spear went straight towards Huang Long and nailed Wu Ji to the stone pillar.
"Di Xin, if you kill me today, you will pay the price after your death. I'll wait and see, haha!"
Before Wu Ji died, he still cursed Di Xin, making Di Xin's face look like frost.
As soon as Wu Ji died, the group of witches and witches shivered in fear. With a pop, they knelt down directly in front of Di Xin. They were no longer as proud as before.
"The witch priest conspired to rebel, and my rescue was late. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
"King Wucheng, please get up quickly. If you don't come to rescue me this time, I might be assassinated by someone."
The words of Di Xin and Huang Feihu directly confirmed that Wu Ji had rebelled, and the guards at the scene immediately arrested the group of Wu Zhu and Wu Fu.
"These witches, witches, and divination, Gu will not make things difficult for them. Send them back to the great witch Zhu for strict control. You go back and tell the great witch Zhu that Gu's palace is in charge!"
Even when the time was not ripe, Di Xin had to take a long-term approach.
The door was opened wide at this time. When Yin Hong saw Di Xin, he couldn't hold back his face. He threw himself into Di Xin's arms and started crying.
"As long as Gu is here, no one can hurt Gu's son!"
Di Xin's loving eyes deeply moved Yin Jiao, who was watching the whole process. He had never felt a father's love before. He really envied Yin Hong. His father's arms were probably very warm.
[Yinjiao’s loyalty increases!]
The prime ministers Shangrong and Yabigan, who came in a hurry, saw the witches being crucified on the stone pillars and knew that they were still a step too late.
"Your Majesty, you have caused a big disaster!"
The storm is coming and the wind is filling the building.
