Chapter 757: Becoming a God (39)
——Gods——
Nanzhan Buzhou, Shang State.
The radius of the Shang country is 70 miles, there is only one city called "Shangqiu", and the radius of Shangqiu is also 70 miles, so the capital of the country is the national land, and the city wall is the border.
It is not that Shang countries are "unwilling" to expand, but that they "don't have to" and "cannot" expand.
Within the walls of Shangqiu were all kinds of trading houses, warehouses, dart boards, carriage and horse shops, post houses, bazaars and workshops, and other industries that were beneficial to "commerce".
Beyond the city walls, there are solid roads scattered in a radial pattern, and the road surface is composed of gravel, stone slabs, or at least a solid dirt road, and the convoys, pedestrians, cattle, horses, and livestock are constantly coming and going, and the city walls are full of people.
And where these roads gradually thinned out and the terrain began to undulate, Zhao Gongming was standing on the top of a low mountain with the Holy Mother of Golden Light.
The Holy Mother of Golden Light touched her lips with her hand, and after watching a "long dragon" composed of dozens of carriages completely drive out of the city, she smiled and said, "Tsk, if I were the king of Naxia, after seeing this scene, I would also raise taxes on them." ”
"Oh?" Zhao Gongming turned his head to look at her: "So, do you also think that Shang Guo will definitely swallow his anger and eat this sullen loss?" ”
"Or else?" The Holy Mother of Golden Light raised her hand and swept towards the giant city: "If you want to overthrow a dynasty, you must either [extensively] develop your power, reach almost the same conditions as the other party in terms of territory [volume] and population [volume], and then engage in a head-on confrontation, or gather a small number of warriors with superior strength to show that even if Shangqiu is occupied, they are enough to overturn the strength of the [exchange] one, so that it has to compromise, but the current Shang country, although it is [called] the country, but there is nothing but money, don't look at it is very prosperous now, once the Xia [Wang] When the army came to the city, these people were afraid that they would flee completely. ”
"Oh?" Zhao Gongming felt as if he was hallucinating, but after thinking about it, he didn't, so he put it behind him and asked instead: "So, you have a wealth of experience in 'overthrowing the dynasty'?" ”
"Hey...... No, I'm just doing it theoretically. Our Lady of Golden Light was a little dazed, and she didn't seem to understand how she had analyzed such a large list.
"Heh, the theory is very good." Zhao Gongming didn't ask anymore, and glanced at the "line" that connected her to himself.
Obviously, this sister has overturned in the previous "world", or tried to overthrow at least two dynasties, and she is skillful, the master of the Tongtian Sect does not accept her into the inner door, but is thrown in the outer door like himself, it must be because she sees something, of course, the obvious reason is "better to assist the Shang Kingdom" is completely correct.
Previously, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi worshiped the teachings and was called "Taiyi Zhenren", and almost at the same time, the emperor Kong Jia of the Xia Dynasty announced that he would no longer worship Nuwa and Fuxi, and would instead [submit to the Emperor of Heaven].
This act ...... Although it is obviously ungrateful, it is difficult to find fault with it, because many demons and monsters that can easily kill a large number of human races have been almost extinct in Nanzhan Buzhou under the interference of Nuwa and other "sisters" who like to save the lives of mortals, so throughout the duration of the Xia Dynasty, most of the threats to the lives and property of the human race come from the same race.
Just like during the Lich War, Nuwa was completely unable to interfere in the struggle between her own creations, and in the end she could only deal with it in the same way as her other incarnation, "Hou Tu Niang", that is, to judge the crime after death, in this case, it is not surprising that the human race's belief in Nuwa gradually disappeared.
On the Emperor of Heaven's side, it is completely different, the immortal officials of the Heavenly Court, as "witches", are originally "people", and for similar things, as long as they see it, they can immediately make judgments, so the interference in the human world is very clean: the murderer dies, the wounding and the theft is punished.
- It is Hades' job to judge whether you are guilty or not, and we are only responsible for sending you to Hades.
Although the number of immortal officials is limited and very busy, it is impossible to really interfere in every incident when they are instructed by the dark cloud immortals, they are still widely worshiped by ordinary people, and they often shout "God has eyes" or something when they encounter problems.
But "God" seems to really "have eyes", and it is pasted by Nuwa...... It's embarrassing.
Although everyone present knew that Nuwa was busy returning to the Heavenly Realm to deal with matters related to the Spirit Beads, after all, "an innate thing gains spiritual wisdom and may even become a saint in the future" This kind of matter is naturally extremely high, but for the residents of the human world, they only saw that "Nuwa did not take action when they encountered a tsunami that was not internal strife, but it was the Heavenly Court Immortal Officials who came to their aid in many ways".
At that time, Kong Jia was planning to crusade against the rebellious tribe "Jiuyun", so he took the opportunity to announce that he would no longer sacrifice to Nuwa, and instead obeyed the Emperor of Heaven, attracting many tribes who had a good impression of the heavenly court, such as "Wei", "Gu", "Kunwu", etc., and the unlucky Jiuyun tribe was outnumbered and directly destroyed.
At this time, the Xia Wang Ji Gui, there were almost no Nuwa temples and ancestral halls in the surrounding Fang Kingdom, and the exposition of the kind of "all things are divided into three, six, nine and so on", "each should have its own treatment", "the king's power is bestowed" and other sayings have been widely spread.
However, because of these concepts of distinguishing between superior and inferior, Yuan Shi Tianzun refused to accept disciples and preach in the human world, but only spread the teachings of the Heavenly Court and the Xia Dynasty who obeyed the Heavenly Emperor.
After all, in the doctrine of "dividing into three, six, nine and so on", the lowest ones, such as slaves and maids, have no possibility of getting ahead, so the Western religion of "cultivating the afterlife" has a great market among these races.
After all, a long time ago, the human race was still reincarnated with memories, and although it had long been forbidden at this time, the legends and stories and the occasional slip-through fish in the six reincarnations corroborated the Western religion to spread slightly.
As for the concepts of Taishang Laojun's "inaction" and interception's "intercepting a glimmer of life...... Because the Terrans don't understand the mystery, they have almost no audience:
"Nothing? Isn't that going to starve to death? ”
"Intercepting life? Do you say theft? I'll break my leg from the fairy official! ”
…… That's it.
In this case, the master of the Tongtian Sect sent himself, the "God of Wealth", and two other outer disciples to assist the "Yi Yin" and "Mei Xi" to return to the Shang Kingdom, could it be that this small country, which had nothing but money, could it compete with such a big force?
