I couldn't see the light on his face, but I could hear the self-deprecation in his words.

Anyone who is played by a person who is not as good as himself will be furious, let alone a generation of heroes Yelu Deguang? Perhaps, this is the reason for the collapse of the shaman of the Liao State back then.

After a thousand years of anger, Jerod's anger had turned into a deep helplessness, and he had no other emotions than self-deprecation.

Yerodguang said slowly: "The little shaman whose name I have not been able to name until now came to me with a golden mask, and he told me that the human body is nothing but a container, and what is truly eternal is the human soul, which is often called 'God' in shamanism. God is the master of man, and if God is immortal, man will live forever. ”

"The Golden Mask is the vehicle through which the host transfers gods. However, not everyone is suitable for shifting. Before the host moves the god, three conditions must be set, and only those who meet the three conditions can be the new body of the host, which is called chance. ”

When Jerod just uttered the word "chance," he was saying that the shaman was lying to himself.

Buddhism and Taoism pay attention to "chance", and shamans do not have the word "chance". At that time, the little shaman was just confusing the public, but it was in line with Yerod's appetite.

Yelu Deguang said: "I, as the proud son of the sky, slaughtering the city and destroying the country, naturally will not allow the mediocre to entrust my divine consciousness. I made three conditions. ”

"First, the person who sends my divine consciousness must be a descendant of the Great Khitan. ”

"Second, the person who sends my divine sense must be eloquent, extraordinary, and both civil and military. ”

"Thirdly, the person who has the divine consciousness must be indomitable, tenacious, and intellectually superior. ”

"If you meet these three points, you can become my successor. ”

At this point, Jerod raised his head slightly and looked at me.

I said calmly, "As a result, you didn't find anyone like that, did you?"

"Yes. "At that time, although I was suspicious of the little shaman, he left the decision to me. I thought that since the conditions were up to me, why should I be afraid that they would interfere with them? Can you guess what I'm doing wrong?"

I was silent for a moment before saying: "Your conditions seem harsh, but in fact, it is not difficult to achieve, and you are not the only one of the millions of Khitan people. However, you forget that your conditions are too general, and you don't have a standard to measure, let alone choose who should measure them. ”

The heroes of the ages are all commented on by later generations, just like some people admire Cao Cao and some people worship Liu Bei. The same person, the same thing, in the eyes of different people will have different views, and even the same person's views will change due to external factors.

Yerod Guang is tantamount to laying a dead trap on himself, as long as he gets in, don't think about coming out again.

Yerod nodded and said, "You're only half right. ”

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my mind and said, "Actually, the focus of your choice of successor is on the third condition, right?"

"Oh?" said Yerod in astonishment, "how so?"

I slowly analyzed: "The reason why you died on the way back to China is nothing more than because of internal fire. And the reason why you are fighting inside is because you are the Khitan, or even the first emperor on the grassland to truly enter the Central Plains. ”

"The Xiongnu and Turks, the overlords who once dominated the grasslands, although they were arrogant for a while, no one has ever really captured the imperial capital of the Central Plains Dynasty and ascended to the supreme throne. And you, only ten years after taking charge of the Khitan, did it. So, you are so ambitious that you can't even live forever. ”

I changed my words and said, "And you were beaten back to the grassland after only sitting on the throne for a few months, so you will be in the fire. Even when the imperial doctor proposed that you were too angry and should not get close to women, you knew the crux of your problem, but you still refused to admit it. You are crazy to indulge in lust, just to prove that you are doing the right thing, and the defeat of the Central Plains is not your personal reason. ”

I stared at Yelu Deguang and said: "Actually, you were already decadent at that time, even if you can return to Daliao alive, the final result will be a collapse." ”

"Presumptuous!" The minister surnamed Xiao was furious, and the wind in the cave suddenly rose, and the biting chill came with the wind, like thousands of sharp arrows directly towards my body.

I just made a defensive gesture before lowering my hands and standing in place with a calm expression.

Yerod's fists clenched suddenly, and there was a crisp sound like broken wood on the joints. At this time, Yerod Light, who was sitting on the throne like a zombie, moved his body for the first time, which shows how hard the defeat hit him that year.

The minister surnamed Xiao obviously also noticed this, and immediately roared in a deep voice: "Wang Huan, don't you kneel down to apologize?"

I looked up and said, "What sin am I?"

"Bold!" In the midst of the angry roar of the minister surnamed Xiao, Yelu Deguang suddenly spoke: "Forget it, he didn't say anything wrong, I was really like that back then." ”

Yelu Deguang said: "What I am most afraid of is the third one, and it is precisely because of this that when I choose my successor, I let the shaman make a move to make him fall into an illusion, to repeat the experience of my defeat in the first place. It's a pity that none of them can get back on their feet, and each of them is even worse than me. ”

I shook my head and said, "You've been fooled." There are countless people in the world, but there are only a handful of people who can withstand such ups and downs, even if they are a generation of heroes, they may not be able to withstand this kind of blow, let alone ordinary people who have never ascended the throne and become emperors. Those who can regain themselves from such a blow will become a generation of emperors as long as they do not die. Throughout the 5,000 years of China, how many people can be called emperors?"

Jerod agreed: "You are right. It's a pity that I was really obsessed with the authorities at that time. The more unbearable those followers became, the more disgusted I became, and the more unwilling I was to move my soul. The final test turned out to be my inner demon, as long as I can't get rid of it, I can't move my soul. ”

"Awesome!" I couldn't help but admire, "The shaman's layout seems simple, but in fact it is for you to seal your own soul path. Their ability to grasp people's hearts is superb!"

I didn't say a word - even if Yerod had not resorted to shamans but other religions, he would have gotten the same result. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if a certain religion really has magical powers that make people immortal, they will not let any emperor reign forever.

For thousands of years, there have been countless collisions between ancient and modern Chinese and foreign theocracy and imperial power, and each has its own victory and defeat. However, it can be judged that the prosperity of imperial power is not a blessing for religion, and the result of the immortality of a generation of male lords must be that religion is forever imprisoned by imperial power and becomes a forbidden place that can only be held in the hands of the emperor. This is not in the interests of religion itself.

Even though the shamans knew that their actions would lead to destruction, they would have chosen to sacrifice a large branch of shamanism to cut off the delusion of Yerod's light.

Yelu Deguang nodded slightly and said, "You're right, when the queen mother realizes that it's too late for her to be tricked." She could only retreat and bury me in the Pingtian Sea to suppress the luck of the Liao State. ”

Yelu Deguang sighed: "My biggest long-cherished wish back then was to dominate the world and face the Canghai Sea in the east, so the Queen Mother renamed this place Pingtianhai. ”

My eyes couldn't help but shrink slightly: "Since you have been buried in the Pingtian Sea, how can you die and come back to life?

Jerod said, "That's the shaman's revenge. Ever since I put on this golden mask and been buried in Pingtianhai, the Queen Mother has imprisoned all 800 shamans here and buried them for me. It's just that the queen mother did not bury them in the grave, but trapped them in the sea of Pingtianhai. ”

"The eight hundred shamans issued three curses at the cost of committing suicide, one was the curse so that I could not find a successor and could never be freed, and the other was to curse the Khitan to exterminate the clan. ”

I frowned slightly, and didn't answer the other party's words, but changed the topic and said, "Then why did you send someone surnamed Xiao to keep causing trouble for us?"

"Because I'm so bored. "If you have been imprisoned in one place for a thousand years, and you can't find anything else to do but watch the branches and leaves of the trees grow and die again and again, you may be even crazier than me." ”

"At first, I had plans to find a successor, but I gave up on this idea a long time ago. For years, my only pleasure was to put the Golden Mask to good use, to put people in a struggle to see if they could break through. ”

"A few decades ago, when a group of barbarians who didn't know how to live or die broke into the Pingtian Sea, I played a very interesting game with them, and finally killed them until there were only three of them. On a whim, why don't you let them all out and see what kind of surprise they will bring me. ”

"After I let them go, I rearranged the Pingtian Sea and created the bear camp with a group of half-dead people, and as a result, they brought me more and more surprises, and I even used the Golden Mask to go to Pingtianhai to make a few tricks with you. ”

I see. It's no wonder that I've always felt that when Kim Daxian appeared at the beginning, it was like another person was involved, and he was not only secretly fueling the trouble, but also constantly causing us trouble, and several times he deviated from my train of thought.

It's just that I never thought that the Golden Mask still has a real owner.

I have to say that although Yerod Guang did not reincarnate as a person, he became a living shaman, he controlled the golden mask, which is equivalent to controlling the entire Pingtianhai, and he subconsciously regarded himself as a god.

It's just that he didn't realize it. Once he realizes this, no one can predict what kind of outcome will come.
