Chapter 362 The Truth of the Kingdom of Ghosts and Gods
Chaoge, ancestral temple
A lot has changed in three years. For example, these soldiers are full of bloody killings. Even standing there, they can still make people flinch and shudder.
All these soldiers stood there, like statues, and like the most elite warriors. They were wearing armor, and the killing look in their eyes became the strongest martial spirit.
Emperor Xin, the king of human beings, wore a Gonglong suit, a human crown of the Twelve Ranks on his head, and held a Xuanyuan sword that symbolized the human king, and walked towards the steps above the ancestral temple.
The great witch Zhu Wu Xian of the ancestral temple greeted him early, and the new batch of witches and Zhus behind him were also on duty, but they were cautious between their brows, and there was a kind of natural fear when looking at the human king.
"present!"
Wu Xian shouted in person, and immediately three animals, six grains and millet, and various sacrifices were placed on the table.
The memorial text that had been prepared early was also read out by the reader.
The Marquis of Beihai, Yuan Futong, was personally escorted by the Meishan brothers, and the executioner was Yuan Hong, the boss of Meishan.
But Yuan Hong was seen wearing a bundt, half-naked body, majestic and powerful, and looked fierce, which frightened many people.
Yuan Futong was actually calm, without any fear before his death. Naturally, he was not frightened to the point of peeing his pants, and he tried his best to maintain his final dignity.
The babbling memorial words seemed to be Yuan Futong's last moments. At this time, Yuan Futong's heart was empty, as if he had sensed something in the dark, and he seemed to be experiencing the last fresh air before death.
Finally, after the announcer finished reading, Yuan Futong was pushed up as a sacrifice.
Even though the princes were beheaded, they still maintained their proud heads. As a prince, Yuan Futong indeed maintained the dignity of the princes.
"Kneel down!"
Dai Li kicked Yuan Futong on the ankle, trying to get him to kneel down, but the unyielding Yuan Futong still stood with difficulty, even more contemptuous of the traitor in front of him, without saying a word.
Dai Li was immediately angered and kicked him a second time, this time harder. But even with a broken bone, Yuan Futong in front of him was still standing.
"Yuan Futong is a prince after all. If he wants to be executed standing, he should just stand."
After receiving Di Xin's order, Dai Li glared at Yuan Futong fiercely, then stepped aside and handed over the execution task to their eldest brother Yuan Hong.
Emperor Xin, along with all the civil and military officials, knelt directly in front of the ancestors of the ancestral temple and muttered something.
"Shou, the grandson of the Yin Shang Dynasty, has returned victoriously and pacified the Beihai. He has come to the ancestral temple to offer sacrifices to the ancestors of the past kings to appease the spirits of the past kings in heaven. He also implores the past kings to bless the Yin Shang Dynasty and ensure peace and prosperity to the country."
When offering sacrifices to ancestors, sincerity is the first priority. Emperor Xin truly worships, and the incense smoke conveys Emperor Xin's wishes directly to the kingdom of ghosts and gods.
At the time of worship, Yuan Hong raised his knife and cut off Yuan Futong's head. Immediately, blood spattered three feet and the head fell to the ground.
A soul came out of this body and was about to fly to the list of gods. Suddenly, the fog in the ancestral temple of ghosts and gods suddenly appeared. The ancestors of the Yin and Shang dynasties appeared directly and took the soul directly to the kingdom of ghosts and gods.
Di Xin was confused, but since it was his ancestor's intention, he didn't say anything else.
Just as he was about to stand up, suddenly clouds and mist arose, and the souls of ancestors appeared one after another, which made Di Xin recognize them all.
In the end, all the ancestors disappeared, leaving only King Cheng Tang, the founding king of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
"Shou, the grandson of Yin Shang, pays homage to his ancestor, King Chengtang!"
I saw King Chengtang again, and he was still the generous and cruel King Chengtang. As the most powerful ghost and god in the Yin and Shang Dynasties, he also had the important task of protecting the national destiny. It can be said that the increase or decrease in the national destiny directly reflected the ghosts and gods of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
The strength and weakness of the country.
"Zi Shou, you are so unexpected. I am proud to have a descendant like you."
Even King Chengtang, who is in the kingdom of ghosts and gods, knows how powerful Di Xin is.
In the past year, not only did Emperor Xin pacify Beihai, but even the underworld, the capital of Chengtang King, successively conquered several territories of Xia Yu Kingdom, which made King Chengtang greatly appreciate Emperor Xin.
"Zi Shou's achievements are all due to the protection of his ancestors."
"Haha, you don't have to be so modest. With your current strength, you can come into contact with the truth about the kingdom of ghosts and gods."
"The truth about the kingdom of ghosts and gods?"
"Haha, yes, if you don't know it at your current level, it would be really embarrassing for me."
King Chengtang laughed and told a story from ancient times.
Ever since Emperor Zhuanxu gained access to heaven and earth, the strength of the Human Emperor has been deteriorating. The Human Emperors of all generations have been thinking about the future of the human race.
Just several attempts in succession ended in failure. Not only that, greed, anger, hatred, and even a brutal fight for the position of the Human Emperor.
The abdication system that had been inherited since ancient times was completely broken. It was not until the time of Emperor Yu that he discovered this flaw.
For his own selfishness or for the sake of the human race, Emperor Yu ordered his son Qi to establish the Xia Yu Kingdom, which was the first generation of the dynasty.
The old Emperor Yu naturally did not want to die, but his son Qi was a very ambitious man. Qi used an extremely vicious secret technique to forcefully extract Emperor Yu's soul and throw it into the underworld.
And based on his merits, he protected the prosperity of the dynasty.
"Wait a minute, the kingdom of ghosts and gods is basically a curse?"
Di Xin looked at King Chengtang in front of him in disbelief.
"Of course this is a curse. Have you ever seen the Human Emperor before Xia Yu?"
"Didn't I say that before Xia Yu, there was the Yu Dynasty?"
"Yu? I have never seen the ghosts and gods of the Yu Dynasty in the underworld."
"Forehead……"
Because human kings are all human kings with nine-nine lives, even if they become ghosts and gods after death, they are not ordinary hungry ghosts, but powerful ghosts and gods with many ghosts and immortals as vassals.
This is the origin of the underworld.
This curse is indeed powerful, and can even use ghosts and gods as objects to suppress luck, and what the ghosts and gods release is the original national destiny.
Qi believed that he had created the history of the human race, but the consequences gradually emerged after his death.
Although ghosts and gods are powerful, they are very extreme because they have no peace. They prefer blood food. If they don't have blood food, they will go crazy. The best blood food is human sacrifice.
"King Chengtang, so it is fundamentally wrong to say that humans and animals should be abolished?"
"From the perspective of humans, it is true, but from the perspective of ghosts and gods, it is indeed a disaster."
Di Xin finally realized how naive he was back then. He didn't know at all, so he messed around. Fortunately, the country's destiny was not damaged, but increased a lot, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
"King Chengtang told Gu this, isn't it just to tell a story?"
After listening to King Chengtang's words, Di Xin immediately smiled and thought of something at the same time.
"Yes, what I want you to do now is to completely lift this curse and let us truly sleep underground."
"What!"
Di Xin never thought that the most powerful ghost in the kingdom of ghosts and gods would want him to sleep underground forever, but he knew the meaning of this sentence.
"Actually, even if I don't say it, you can probably guess that no matter whether I can completely defeat Xia Yu's kingdom of ghosts and gods, Empress Pingxin in the underworld and the immortals in the three religions will not tolerate the existence of the kingdom of ghosts and gods."
"Instead of being eliminated or enslaved by those people, it is better to take the initiative and sleep underground, so as to truly protect the human race."
After King Chengtang finished speaking, Di Xin felt his face get hot. It was his incompetence as a descendant of the Yin and Shang Dynasties that made his ancestors do this.
