Chapter 646: The Theory of Ghosts and Gods

"What are the wild ghosts?"

Qi Xiang was a little puzzled, whether it was a ghost resentment or an ancient warrior wandering spirit, it was easier to understand here. But the first time he had heard of wild ghosts or gods.

Otaku thought for a moment and said, "Do you know what a grass-headed god is?" ”

"Huh?"

Qi Xiang recalled and thoughtfully: "That is, in Journey to the West, the subordinates of Erlang God Yang Jian?" ”

"That's true, but it's not detailed enough."

The otaku shook his head and explained: "The definition of the grass head god is different from that of the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals. To put it bluntly, Yang Jian's subordinates, that is his personal subordinate, belong to the gods who have not been sealed by the heavenly court. ”

"In other words, these grass-headed gods are not regular gods."

The otaku said lightly: "The barbarian ghost god I am talking about is similar to this grass-headed god. Back then, Zhang Tianshi preached in Shuzhong, cut down mountains and destroyed temples, impeached ghosts and gods, and exterminated this kind of ghosts and gods. ”

"These crusaded ghosts and gods are not stupid, and after discovering that the situation is not good, they have fled here to gather ......"

Otaku explained, "Over time, the Fengdu Ghost Domain was formed here. ”

"Oh!"

Qi Xiang raised his eyebrows, knowing that the otaku was simple, and it was an understatement, as if it was insignificant. In fact, it must have been evasive, deliberately ignoring some facts.

As we all know, it is difficult for ghosts to survive in the yang world.

Especially during the day, if there is no special thing to shelter, no matter how powerful the ghost is, it will be evaporated by the sun, and the soul will be scattered.

If what the otaku said is the truth, there are really millions of ghostly spirits in the ghost realm.

Then the environment here must be very special.

In other words, this is a special world, which is equivalent to a special spiritual realm and a blessed land. It is suitable for the survival of ghosts and gods, so that they will not disappear for a long time.

From this point of view, there is no difference between this place and the legendary Netherworld.

Of course, there are also big differences. At least here, there is no such thing as reincarnation.

"Anyway, the ghosts and gods in it are very terrifying."

At the same time, the otaku spoke: "If you want to go in and save people, it's best to be mentally prepared to never return." ”

"Are you trying to scare me?"

Qi Xiang smiled: "Ghosts are transformed by people. I'm not even afraid of people, but I'm afraid of ghosts? ”

"Huh!"

Otaku sneered: "You forgot that there are not only ghosts but also gods. Even if they are just grass-headed gods and are not sacrificed by incense, it doesn't mean that they are not powerful. ”

"Zhang Tianshi is powerful enough, right?"

Yu Zhai snorted lightly: "However, the Heavenly Master lineage, starting from the Western Han Dynasty, has been preaching in Shu. It was not until the time of the Three Kingdoms that the Wudou Mi Sect advocated Lu and laid a foundation in Shuzhong. ”

"After hundreds of years of overcoming obstacles, I can barely stand firm. Afterwards. It is with the help of the state that the foundation of the thousand-year-old family has been laid. However, the battle with ghosts and gods has not stopped. ”

"Know the Heavenly Master's lineage. Why did you later transfer to Longhu Mountain? ”

"That's because, when fighting with the ghosts and gods in Shu, the Heavenly Master's lineage suffered heavy casualties. In order to avoid cutting off the bloodline, the Zhang family had to avoid its edge, re-establish the ancestral court, and make a comeback......"

"However, it is also for this reason that the Heavenly Master also hates the ghosts and gods in Shu. When recovering its strength and flourishing the dragon and tiger, he decisively gave up many interests, and even did not hesitate to join forces with Buddhism to break the ghosts and gods in Shuzhong in one fell swoop. ”

"Heavenly vein, I originally wanted to kill these ghosts and gods......"

"I didn't expect that those ghosts and gods also have a backhand."

The imperial mansion pointed with a hand: "After there was nowhere to hide in all parts of Shuzhong, those ghosts and gods gathered one after another, and took refuge in this place, forming a ghost domain. ”

"For thousands of years, whether it is the Buddha or the Tao, all sects and sects have wanted to purify this ghost realm. However, under the obstruction of the ghosts and gods, they all failed. ”

Otaku said in a deep voice: "Although it is said that this is the time when humanity is flourishing, it is also the period when the ghosts and gods are the weakest. However, the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism have also declined badly, and they simply do not have the strength to launch a battle to destroy the gods. ”

"In addition, the weak ghosts and gods, leaving the ghost domain, are also the end of vanishing, they can only shrink in the domain to survive, and they can no longer go out to do evil and harm people, so everyone doesn't bother to pay attention to them."

"However, people were able to resist for more than a thousand years without dying under the joint efforts of Buddhism and Taoism. The strength of it can also be imagined. Do you think that with your strength, you will be able to get out safely after entering? ”

Otaku asked, a little mocking.

However, this ridicule was not aimed at Qi Xiang, but at himself. It was because of his worries that he lingered on the periphery for a long time, not daring to go deeper.

"Ghost ......"

Qi Xiang groaned, in fact, he also understood the meaning of the otaku, and even had a certain understanding of the ghosts and gods that the otaku said.

In ancient times, China ruled the dynasty and paid attention to the affairs of the state.

Rong is military, war. Ritual is a ritual, a ritual.

Needless to say, military strength and means of warfare are the basis on which a country depends. Whether ancient or modern, the establishment of a country is basically related to war.

Without the support of military force, it is difficult for a country to be stable.

Therefore, it is a matter of course to attach importance to military power. However, the ancients compared sacrifice with military affairs, which shows what weight sacrifice is in the minds of the world.

Moreover, there are strict rules on what people to sacrifice, or rather, to what gods to sacrifice, and it is not allowed to mess around.

In ancient times, when there was a strict hierarchy, sacrifices were often linked to rituals and order. If the sacrificial procedure is wrong, it is the so-called ritual collapse and happiness is absolutely intolerable......

However, as we all know, China has a long history, and it is common for dynasties to change during this period.

Once the son of heaven is a courtier, after the establishment of the new dynasty, it is natural to re-stipulate a set of etiquette laws to show the new atmosphere of the new dynasty. The rituals are different, and the sacrifices naturally change.

As soon as it changes, there will naturally be contradictions, which is also the origin of the hairy gods, grass-headed gods, and wild ghosts.

Because, the gods sacrificed in the previous dynasty were suddenly unable to worship in this dynasty, and the common people were not allowed to worship, and even ordered the local government to destroy the obscene shrines in order to correct the atmosphere.

The name is not right, the word is not good.

Without a name, the people were afraid of the punishment of the government and did not dare to blatantly sacrifice. In this way, it is simply breaking the roots of many ghosts and gods, and they will naturally not give up.

If you don't have the ability, you have to scatter your aggrieved soul. Those who are capable must make waves and demons in order to show their existence.

After all, the people were ignorant, and after being intimidated, they revered the ghosts and gods more and worshiped day and night.

However, the imperial court is not a vegetarian, plus the two factions of Buddhism and Taoism also want to fight for folk beliefs with ghosts and gods, so they naturally cooperate very tacitly to suppress the living space of ghosts and gods.

However, after a thousand years of suppression, there are still ghosts and gods. This also fully shows that these old antiques are not simple.

Qi Xiang frowned, turned his head to look at the big eagle next to him, and then asked, "Imperial House, who is trapped in it?" Is it your friend? ”

“…… Sort of. ”

The otaku sighed, a little resentful, and said with annoyance: "I said, it's too dangerous inside, let him not go in, he just didn't listen." No, something happened. ”

"Your friend, how many days have you been in?"

Qi Xiang continued to ask, "What did he do when he went in?" ”

"I've been in for four or five days, and I haven't come out, so I'm definitely trapped."

Otaku glanced at it: "As for what to do in there, can you control it?" I also want to ask you, who are you and why did you come here to save people? ”

“…… It's not me who wants to come, it's my pet, and it's not with me. Qi Xiang said, pointing to the big eagle next to him, with a helpless expression.

"Haha!"

Otaku had a cold face, "This joke is not funny at all, why do you say that this is your pet?" ”

Qi Xiang didn't speak, just pointed at his hand.

Suddenly, on the wings of the great eagle, a rune as thin as a gossamer appeared, and the faint light flickered, looming.

"Uh......"

The otaku was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned grim: "No, this flat hair...... I remember very well, he has been raised for two years, how did he become your pet? Did you take advantage of the danger of others and fall into the well......"

"Three years ago, it was my pet."

Qi Xiang said directly: "However, after raising it for a year, it was lost." After two years of losing it, I thought it had encountered something wrong, but I didn't expect that the day before yesterday it suddenly flew to me......"

"At the time, I was quite happy, who knew that there was a note for help on its paws."

Qi Xiang took out the piece of paper and gestured: "Look, there is a written note to prove it...... Alas, from Dongting Lake, all the way here, I walked for a day and a night, and I almost exhausted me......"

"The day before yesterday......"

The otaku glanced at it, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "From Dongting Lake, and then here, one day and one night...... You're not walking, you're flying, aren't you? ”

"Almost."

Believe it or not, Qi Xiang didn't explain, just looked around left and right, "By the way, how big is this ghost domain?" ”

“…… I don't know! ”

Although he felt that Qi Xiang was suspected of bragging, the imperial house felt that this person just saw a note asking for help, and he was able to come over, which can be regarded as warm-hearted, and he didn't mind saying a few more words.

"However, I heard that there is a realm in it."

The otaku said in a deep voice: "The boundary of the world, thousands of miles away, there are mountains, rivers and rivers, and countless ghosts and gods are entrenched in the rivers and rivers, and they are kings of the land, and the troops are dominant......"

"You mean, there's a state in there?" Qi Xiang's heart sank, and he retreated.

"Not really."

The otaku shook his head: "There are many mountains inside, all ghosts and gods, no one obeys anyone, there is no ghost god at all, with overwhelming power, to dominate the ghost domain." ”

"Besides, in essence, the ghosts and gods are still in a relatively ignorant stage, and they don't have enough intelligence, and winning over their subordinates is more like a biological instinct than the basis of the king's establishment."

Otaku said softly: "Besides, some ghosts and gods have fallen into a deep sleep, and if there is no external interference, they will not wake up, how can there be a human being's dirty mind ......" (To be continued.) )
