The believer is a god, and in this world dominated by the gods, the incarnation of the state naturally becomes a kind of existence equal to the gods.

In the Spirit Palace, Feng'e and Ji Le sat on the same high platform, drinking and chatting.

"In a sense, the spirit of the country is also an alternative god of the earth. After all, in the final analysis, they are all derivatives of the divinity of the earth-" The goddess paused, seemed to have some scruples, and deliberately changed the topic: "Speaking of which, you are very special. The vast majority of national spirits have evolved step by step from the image of animals and plants to human form. Their starting point was the totem that the city-state first sacrificed tom. I didn't expect you to have a human body from the beginning. And the intelligence is very high, unlike other national spirits I have seen. ”

Hearing the goddess's words, Yu Miao's expression was different, and she tried to recall through her brain and pass the news to Ji Le.

Under Yu Yuan's explanation, Guoling has another inside story.

In this world, the ancient gods are all descendants of the creator god. But there were two gods who originally created the world, one ruling over the heavens and the other ruling over the earth. It is similar to the "Emperor and Queen Earth" of the Chinese mythological system. And the birth of the national spirit is driven by the earth god behind the scenes.

According to the mythology of this world, the gods of the earth fell thousands of years ago, and after their deaths, the divinity of the earth was scattered all over the country, giving birth to all kinds of earth gods and national spirits.

There are two basic conditions for the birth of the national spirit, a country accumulated over a long period of time, and a residual divinity from the mother goddess.

"But the death of the Earth Mother God is said to be related to the infighting of the gods, so the Feng'e God did not dare to say more and had reservations. ”

Hearing Yu Yuan's reminder, Ji Le nodded slightly.

Yes, if the Earth Mother God is still there, the authority of the earth will be gathered in the hands of one god. How could these national spirits, who had the earth as their body, be born so easily?

Not to mention, Ji Le, a national spirit who debuted halfway.

His birth can indeed be said to be a wonderful product of time, place, people and cohesion.

If Mother Earth Goddess were immortal, the supreme divinity from the earth would not be left out. If the people of Great Xia do not have enough recognition of the country, they will not accumulate enough faith power to give birth to god-level believers. If Ji Le hadn't combined the divinity of the earth with the national beliefs, and just brought about the inheritance of the Chinese lineage, he would not have been born smoothly, and the soul of an ordinary Chinese person in the future would become the embodiment of this country.

Feng'e had some scruples, and Ji Le also took the initiative to avoid the topic and gossip with Feng'e about the customs of this world.

"By the way, just now I saw that the monarch of your Xia Kingdom was teleported away. Should I go to Torrey City again?"

Tuo Lei is the name of the earthen city where Yang Ke and others are located. This small city, born in the middle of a dense forest, is a branch of a civilization in the distance. In the official title of Xia Kingdom, this small country of Tuolei is named "Bi Tuoguo". However, the strength of this small country was too weak, and it was directly swept by the Xia Kingdom, and it would never appear in the palace records of the Xia Kingdom in the future.

"Hmm. ”

"Look back. When I came, I heard that the earth gods in the south seemed to be about to move. ”

Ji Le frowned and looked at Yu Yuan with an inquiring gaze.

Yu Yuan had no choice but to inform him of this part of the information through the "heart transmission" again.

The Xia Kingdom respects the gods, but the gods on the earth are different. Since the fall of the Earth Mother God, the earth gods, dragons and snakes are mixed, including the earth gods born by the earth's mountains and rivers, the totem gods sacrificed by various tribes and city-states, and those divine beasts that accidentally obtain the divinity of the Earth Mother. These earth spirits wreak havoc on the earth and are the most troublesome enemies of the Xia Kingdom.

Yang Ke is currently leading people to the south to fight, which is to fight against the Earth God Alliance of Nanyu Mountain. And Nanyu Mountain is the "Ailuo Mountain" referred to by the goddess Feng'e.

"To be exact, the name Ailuoshan is also wrong, the original root word was 'Airo', which was the name defined by the Tumu dynasty. Oh, and the Tumu dynasty is the 'Great Mu dynasty' as we officially call it. ”

The earth prospered and gave birth to a city-state. Every country has its own civilization, its own language. Even if they are the same gods in the sky, they have completely different titles in the major civilized city-states. The practice of the Xia Kingdom was to translate and revise the names of various civilizations in the manner of the Chinese civilization.

Listening to Yu Yuan's explanation, Ji Le was impatient: "It's too troublesome to have multiple nouns for a thing, can't it be integrated with a unified noun?" But Ji Le also understands that all countries and ethnic groups have their own civilizations and their own set of languages. Who wants to abandon their own civilization and submit to outsiders?

If the Xia Kingdom wants to subdue those foreign barbarians and dump civilization in the past, how can it be done with idle effort?

For example, for all countries in the world to speak the same language, it is at least necessary to have a strong force that is invincible in the world as a backing. If you want to change the names of the gods, you also need absolute strength to subdue all the gods.

"But this is the real challenge for me and the people of the summers. is dressed and written, so as to live up to this adventure journey of visitors from all over the world. ”

While Ji Le was thinking, Feng'e suddenly stepped forward and poked him on the cheek with a green onion white jade finger: "You have to deal with it well, I don't want the next time I come here, your Xia Kingdom has disappeared." ”

Seeing Ji Le avoid it again, a trace of loss flashed on Feng'e's face. I thought about it again: "Do you want to take the opportunity to bring him back directly?" Hmm...... He has the power of a demigod, and I can't exert my full strength on the earth, so I'm afraid I won't be able to take him away. ”

Thinking of this, Feng'e was depressed.

Goddess Feng'e, she is an upright face control! Her favorite thing is to find a beautiful boy on the earth.

Some kingdoms use this as a tool for disciplining their children: "If you mess around, don't sleep at night." Go back and the goddess will take you away!"

In some countries, the custom of stigmatizing juveniles has been deliberately added. Beginning at the age of twelve, they are made to wear masks and smear mud to avoid being seen by the goddess until they reach adulthood. Over time, this kind of masculine pattern decoration also became a fashion.

It can be said that the notoriety of the goddess Feng'e in the outside world is very widespread.

The reason why she flew to Xia Kingdom from the south was precisely because she failed to rob the crown prince of the Tumu Dynasty, and she happened to pass by Nanyu Mountain and heard that the land over there was aimed at Xia Kingdom. Under the instinct of the wind god who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, she ran over to watch the play.

Of course, there is another careful thought. She heard that the monarch of the Xia Kingdom was powerful and powerful, and he was born a god. Therefore, the goddess wanted to come over and see Yang Ke's appearance. Unexpectedly, on the side of Xia Guo, he met Ji Le, the national spirit, and the anonymous person he summoned.

"However, the spirit of the country is strong, and it is backed by the state. And he was too stingy to give me the retinue samurai around him. ”

If you can't take Ji Le away, the young man next to him can too. However, this young man exudes evil aura all over his body, and it is by no means an easy person.

The goddess was upset, but then she thought about it: "Forget it, go back and go to several other countries to find people." These two and Yang Ke who I saw just now are all good-looking, and they are not in vain. You can come back again in the future. ”

Yu Yu has been serving the gods in the Spirit Palace all the year round, and she doesn't know the reputation of the goddess Feng'e in the outside world. I don't know the psychological activities of this goddess, and she has already taken a fancy to her own monarch and the two around her.

It's a pity that Yang Ke left early and didn't see Feng'e, who appeared later. Otherwise, with Feng'e's "notoriety" outside, Yang Ke said that he would not let Ji Le and Feng'e live in the same room.

"Those earth gods in Nanyu Mountain, although they look ugly......" The girl pouted, thinking of the ugly appearance of those gods, she was a little disgusted: "But their strength is not weak, you must win." ”

Compared to those strange-looking terrestrial gods in Nanyu Mountain, the goddess prefers the spirit of the Xia Kingdom and the young and heroic little brother beside him.

Ji Le's heart moved, and he suddenly understood why he felt that this goddess had no malicious intent.

"A goddess who loves beauty?" he rolled his eyes and said to Yu Yuan, "Excuse me, go to the treasure house and get some jade ornaments." I followed Her Highness Feng'e at first sight and planned to give her some gifts. ”

"Jade ornaments?" Although Yu Yu didn't understand Ji Le's thoughts, she still sent someone to fetch a few jade bracelets and hostas stored in the Spirit Palace.

Soon, a young girl in a green dress with a pink face and red lips came back with a wooden plate. On a wooden plate, several exquisite jade objects are placed.

"Hey, these things are good. Feng'e's eyes lit up, and she couldn't take her eyes off the handful of jade hairpins on the wooden plate. At the end of the jade hairpin is a lotus flower, with two slender and straight strands, and the whole body is green and jade-colored.

Ke Jile saw this lotus hairpin, but frowned: "Why are there only these few? Go to Yang Ke and get a few, forget it, I'll come by myself." ”

He grabbed it casually, and there was a cash-colored vortex floating around him, and his hand reached in to tinker for a while, and took out a pair of "Flowing Clouds and Flying Phoenix Hairpins" from it. The twin strands of this pair of jade hairpins are cloud-shaped, with a small and delicate crested crested end.

"This is good!" Seeing the flowing cloud hairpin, the goddess was immediately overjoyed, and without saying a word, she took it to play.

"Your Excellency. The corners of Yu Yuan's mouth twitched, if she remembered correctly, this Feifeng hairpin was something in Yang Ke's private vault, right?

However, Ji Le disagreed: I am the Great Xia Kingdom, whether it is the King's Treasury or the country's treasury, all of this is mine! Moreover, it may be more helpful to use a few pieces of jade to make friends with a goddess.

Seeing Feng'e fiddling with the jade hairpin, Ji Le's eyes were gloomy, and he said in his heart: If this goddess is just a face control who likes beautiful things, then you can try to get close, add a boost to my Xia Kingdom, and also add a hole card to me.

"I'll bring it for you. Ji Le took a few steps forward, took the Liuyun hairpin, and brought it for her with her own hands.

The young man next to him tilted his head, his eyes moved slightly: this guy is so skilled, it seems that he is a veteran.

"It's not bad, this flowing cloud hairpin is suitable for the goddess to wear, and if there is a plain shawl behind him, it will be even more beautiful...... Of course, how can jade fluorescence be comparable to the brilliance of the Celestial Maiden? These ornaments are nothing more than a foil to set off the Celestial Maiden's face. It's just my Xia Guo's thoughts. ”

Ji Le waved his hand, and moved the bronze mirror from Yang Ke's bedroom for the goddess to watch by herself.

Seeing Ji Le's gesture of taking things in a dignified manner, Yu Yuan's expression became more and more strange: these days, some people on the royal court have been saying that there are many fewer drinks in the wine cellar out of thin air. Now it seems that it was all taken by the national spirit?

During this time, there was a thief in the wine store, and Yu Yu also went to investigate, but Ji Le's contact with Xia Guo some time ago was not stable, so the big witch didn't notice Ji Le's movements.

"I'm not that good-looking, I'm just more beautiful than the mortals on the earth. Feng'e was a little shy, and waved her hand again and again, "I think you are also very good-looking." Of course, the guards around you are also very good. It's this shrine maiden...... You can rest assured, although you are ugly, you will definitely be able to get married. It's a big deal, I'll send you a few men when I get back. ”

The goddess was favored by the Xia Kingdom, and she loved Yu Yuan, a witch girl, and although the other party was not as good as herself, she also planned to help her arrange a marriage.

The corners of Yu Yuan's mouth twitched, and her mood was very complicated: Ugly? The old lady is also a top beauty in the Xia Kingdom, you can't use the specifications of the gods to ask us mortals, right? Wait...... Speaking of which, I also have divine blood in my body, and I am also considered a divine descendant. No, how can I lack men! Although I defend the Xia Kingdom and maintain the authority of the witch faction, the number of male slaves around me is also hundreds!

"My lord......" Yu Yu looked at Ji Le, Ji Le looked at the goddess with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, she has no malice, it's just ...... Well...... Naïve, straightforward?"

In Ji Le's opinion, Feng'e's upright face control is obviously used to handsome men and beautiful women, and when she encounters a big beauty like Yu Yuan, she only thinks she is ugly. was kind enough to persuade the other party not to feel inferior, and planned to help her recruit men.

"I understand. Yu Yu said in her heart, this god is indeed much easier to deal with than the previous gods. As for malice, these gods have no malice, because they act recklessly and never consider the thoughts of mortals. How could he be serious about a group of mortals?

Feng'e looked at herself in the mirror, and couldn't help fiddling with the jade hairpin on her head. From time to time, pick up a few jade bracelets and put them on the white wrist to enjoy.

Ji Le suddenly asked, "Yu Yuan, do we have any clothes suitable for Goddess Feng'e in our Xia Kingdom?"

"Yes-" Yu Yuan was about to respond, when she suddenly saw Ji Le's eyes, and she changed her words: "Yes, yes, but how can a heavenly nobleman like His Royal Highness Feng'e use the clothes worn by others? ”

"Your Xia Kingdom's clothes. Feng'e glanced at Yu Yu and the other witches: "Although the clothes of your Xia Kingdom are gorgeous and beautiful, they are too troublesome to wear. ”

"For the sake of good looks, how can you care about a little trouble? In this way, when the goddess comes next time, I will prepare a fairy dress for you. Big deal, I'll teach you how to dress personally. ”

Ji Le gave jade and Chinese clothes, and secretly had another deep meaning. He planned to sell Huaxia's clothes to the gods, inducing them to wear Huaxia's clothes and slowly accept "Xiahua".

"Okay!" Feng'e never refused the beautiful man's request, and soon made an appointment with Ji Le for the next visitor.

Before leaving, he took a few jade ornaments from the Xia Kingdom, packed a bunch of food, and then continued his journey to find a beautiful man.
