Chapter 355: The Witch King
The shaman national teacher supported the young king to ascend to the throne, and the self-proclaimed prison country and the power was in his hands, and the next thing was naturally logical, and he carried out a drastic innovation.
First of all, the people of the ten miles and eight villages near Pyongyang, who were plagued by ghosts and spirits, were summoned into the city and accepted the protection of shamanism...... In the current situation, this can be considered benevolent, but only if there is no forced migration.
At the same time, it was ordered that the people who entered the city to accept shelter must believe in the ancestral shaman god and carry out a grand sacrifice in the city, which consists of a small sacrifice every day and a large sacrifice every three days.
In addition, the mobilization of soldiers and horses from all cities into the king of the capital of the king, and the formation of the shamanic ancestral spirit guardian group, known as the management of the believers of the church, but in the case of the entire Pyongyang city of nobles and people have become shamans, what is the matter that is not the national teacher has the final say?
It is not that the aristocratic class has expressed dissatisfaction with the national teacher's behavior of stealing the country, but after this tossing and turning of the national teacher, the best time to evacuate Pyongyang has been missed.
Outside the city, the fog shrouded ghosts and gods, and the shamanic family in the city was rampant, and those who did not obey the discipline were expelled from the city and left to fend for themselves.
Or sacrifice to the ancestral god to pray for forgiveness, in short, it is a set of things that people are familiar with when religious factions exclude dissidents, and there is no need to elaborate on them.
In order to survive, whether it is true faith or false worship, in short, the city of Pyongyang, from the nobles to the common people, has fallen into a fanatical religious atmosphere.
Not to mention, although the national teacher stole the authority of the Goguryeo royal family, the shamanism under his command is really a bit strange.
The plague contaminated by the people reached the hands of those witches who possessed witchcraft and witchcraft.
I don't dare to say that everyone can cure the disease, but at least one practice can always save a life.
In addition, those ancestral spirit guards who joined the ancestral spirit protector group also seemed to have been protected by the ancestral spirit, and one by one they became invulnerable and infinitely powerful, which made the people even more afraid to disobey the rule of shamanism.
But as the fog of negative energy spreads more and more severely, and the people have been completely trapped in the city, the problem begins to appear gradually.
The saying that "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely" is really not wrong.
When the city of Pyongyang changed from royal rule to religious rule, the national teacher, who had absolute power, found that he could do whatever he wanted, so he was no longer satisfied with being a national teacher.
So he simply supported himself with his own hands and served as a fig leaf for the young king to be abolished.
He ascended the throne and became the "witch king", and shamelessly accepted the young king as a "witch" to prove that the royal power he obtained was justified.
In this regard, the people who have already seen through everything and know that sooner or later this day will come will say: Hehe!
But the former national teacher who became the witch king is not inactive.
After experiencing a period of expansion to become a witch king, various enjoyments of changing tricks, and various stages of self-release.
The witch king, who entered the time of the sage, began to feel all kinds of emptiness and loneliness, and was not willing to be just a usurper who would be recorded in history.
So he began to ponder how to make himself a god and proclaimed himself the "ancestor god of Fuyu".
The people were requisitioned to build the "Ancestral Temple" for themselves, ready to enjoy the worship of eternity.
But the problem is that, in order to satisfy his vanity, he forcibly relocated the people of various cities to Pyongyang.
wanted to build a million-strong city comparable to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, but did not consider whether Pyongyang alone could afford to support such a dense population.
The food resources he had raised in the early days were soon exhausted by his extravagant behavior of confining the people and holding sacrifices all day long to praise the virtues of shamanism, but did not produce anything.
With an ancestral protector in his hands, the Witch King is not worried about the people rebelling.
But if the people are starving to death, then what does it mean for him to be a bare ancestor god?
But because of the drastic changes in the environment, the grass and trees outside the city have long been dead, and all spirits have been extinct, not to mention small animals, and there is not even tree bark to eat!
This is sad for the new witch king, but fortunately, the self-proclaimed "Fuyu Ancestral God" really has some magical means.
After hiding for a few days, the witch king reappeared and announced a grand witch god festival, and gave the people the witch medicine he had personally refined at the witch god festival.
claimed that by taking witch medicine, he could become a witch under the seat of his ancestral god, not only could he eat and drink without fear of hunger, but also could go to the kingdom of the ancestor god together for immortality.
The people didn't care about whether they could live forever or not, but the fact that they could fill their stomachs by drinking the northwest wind still attracted a large number of Goguryeo people who were about to starve to death.
Those who are bold enough to wait for those who are really hungry and can't stand it anymore, and if they don't eat it, they will die, so they have the courage to give it a try.
As a result, after taking the witch medicine given by the witch king, and performing a "death on the spot" for everyone, everyone was scared!
If you eat it, you will die immediately, and if you don't eat and drink some cold water, you can still hold on for a few days, who dares to eat this Nima?
But those who performed "died on the spot", after standing up for a while, actually came back to life, and really became witches who were not afraid of pain and swords.
At this moment, everyone fell into a frenzy, and they all stepped forward and swore that after dedicating themselves to the ancestral god forever, they would receive witch medicine and "evolve" into witches who could not be killed.
It stands to reason that the people will not starve to death now, and it is really possible to turn Pyongyang into a "witch country on the ground", and everyone will live forever together to create a better future, right?
But after a while.
Everyone found that starvation is really starvation, no matter how hungry you are, you can't starve to death.
But the question is that they are still hungry! Who can stand the old empty stomach?
It's okay, it's hard to find the witch king!
The powerful witch king soon asked the witches under his seat to give him gray-white "witch pills".
It is said that after taking it, it can be used to practice the art of bigu, and slowly I will get used to the food and drink dew, and I don't need to eat the grains and grains in the mortal world anymore.
Believe it or not, I believe it anyway!
What else can the people under the control of the Witch King do?
Hey! Don't say it! The "Wu Dan" given by the Witch King really has the effect of filling hunger, not only is he not hungry after eating, but he is even a little panicked!
Now the people were happy, and finally they didn't have to starve to death.
Eat a "witch pill" given by the witch king every day, and drink a glass of "divine water" dedicated to the ancestral god to live, although you will get thinner and thinner.
But the witches said that it was because after taking the "Wu Dan", the dirty impurities accumulated in the body were gradually discharged, and everyone believed it.
The Witch King is so powerful, he can believe it as much as he says, anyway, it is better than nothing to starve to death...... Otherwise, what else can they do?
