Chapter 491: Sacrificing the Golden Crow
Seeing that his strength was constantly being drained away, Jin Wu suddenly panicked, and hurriedly confessed: "It is better to settle the grievances than to settle them." There are a lot of my lords, and I don't know you in general, so I'll forgive you for your offense last time. β
"He's meowing, I didn't forgive you. Do you know that what kind of bullshit sacrifice of yours dares to start a rebellion? The woman who hurt Lao Tzu was almost in danger! Xiang Ningxuan said and hugged Zhang Huizi's slender waist and gave her a look.
Although the golden crow is known as the sun god. In fact, it's just a hairy god. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been shot down by Hou Yi in one go. Mao Shen, if you nod to it, it will have to put on a score. If Xiang Ningxuan scolded it like this, it would either be angry and start the film, or simply admit it.
Jin Wu has been instigated just now, and it is unlikely that the film will be opened directly this time.
"......" Jin Crow didn't know what to say.
Xiang Ningxuan changed his tone with a smile and said, "I still have tens of thousands of devout Yuren believers here, and it is not impossible to hold a grand sacrifice event. What do I get, though? Don't talk about the supreme power, come to some practical benefits. β
Although the feathers established a new government and abolished the original priestly aristocracy, their beliefs could not be easily changed. The Feathered People are not a race that easily changes their beliefs at every turn, and the believers are very religious in their beliefs.
Except for some of the Feather Soldiers and hundreds of reservists, the other Feather People still worship the Sun God Golden Crow, including most of the Feather Army. As an armed coup d'Γ©tat seized power, the confrontation between the devout believers and the new regime was very serious.
The new regime itself was established by the Qingbi Regiment, and it was backed by human force that it stood on its feet.
But there is nothing to do about the deep-rooted belief in the Golden Crow, you can't kill all the people, you can only subtly change the habits of the feather people. For this reason, the originally elite Qingbi Regiment could only be stationed in Qingbi City to prevent the Jinwu believers from rebelling.
If you want to completely change the beliefs of the feather people, you can only start with the doll. Originally, the commoners of the feathers did not have the right to education, but after the coup d'Γ©tat, it was first decided that free and compulsory education should be implemented among the feathers. However, it will take at least one or two generations to do this.
Moreover, the republic does not completely prohibit religious beliefs, as long as they do not interfere with the world.
It's just that the divine power of the feather people is too great, and the high priest can actually take the power of the city lord, the priest, concentrate on serving the gods! It is easy to rest on one's laurels when the world is ruled by theocracy.
Like the Night Elves, a force that could overthrow the Burning Legion 10,000 years ago, it is still those old faces who will be in power after 10,000 years, and no new heroes will appear, and they will be so degraded that they have been burned down by the World Tree of their hometown!
On the other hand, the humans of Azeroth, the king died one stubble after another, and as a result, he became stronger and stronger. The Great Chieftain of the tribe has also changed several times in a few years, and people can still come and burn the trees of your Dark Night House.
Therefore, the theocracy may be more fierce at first, but after a long time, it will abolish its martial arts!
In fact, Xiang Ningxuan was already planning to let Yu Yan go to the religious reform. The beads she asked Wang Xi to hand over were the high priest certificates she obtained after the death of the high priest Qing Ji.
Give this bead containing the divine power of the Golden Crow to Xiang Ningxuan, that is to say, between faith and the world, Yu Yan finally chose to succumb to the world.
The Reformation could not be reformed by people who did not believe at all, and it was impossible for other believers to accept it. If you want to change, it can only be done by the high-level within the religion, and Yu Yan is the only suitable person.
In this case, a guy like Ji Jingyu will be sentenced to twenty or thirty years.
Jin Wu pondered for a long time, and finally, with difficulty, said, "What do you want?" β
Xiang Ningxuan said: "Aren't you able to use projection to descend?" Send me a projection. If I'm satisfied, the tens of thousands of people here can still worship you. How is the deal? β
According to the feathered people, they lost the war against the exotic demons and had to flee to Earth. Jin Crow is afraid that he has lost in the divine war, so he will ask for sacrifice so urgently.
Jin Crow refused: "No, the sacrifice is to restore my strength." But projection consumes energy, one in and one out, I'm not busy in vain? β
Xiang Ningxuan said: "Otherwise, the power of projection is still your power." Also, do you think relying on the energy of tens of thousands of sacrifices can help you turn the tide of battle? Put a projection here, and if you hang up, at least you can be reborn in our world. β
Xiang Ningxuan's words were merciless, although Jin Wu was unhappy, he was told the truth. If it can defeat the exotic demons, will the feathers of Qingbi City need to escape to Earth?
"Alright! Go and prepare for the sacrifice. Must be carried out within three days. The better the effect of the sacrifice, the greater the power of the projection. β
ββββ
The preparations for the sacrifice were made quickly.
The Feather People believers heard that their religious restrictions had been relaxed, and their enthusiasm was very high. Moreover, Yu Yan was also released and was responsible for preparing for this sacrifice ceremony.
The weather in October is crisp and crisp, and the feathers are singing and dancing, and they are rejoicing. Ever since the rebellion of the High Priestess Aohime, the religious activities of Qingbi City have been strongly suppressed, and the feathers can only hide at home and secretly worship. They were glad that the sacrifice could now be resumed openly.
Although the soldiers of the Qingbi Regiment were forced to deal with the high priest Aohime in order to protect their own interests, they were not recognized by their feathered people, and even their own families regarded them as traitors. This made the soldiers of the Qingbi Regiment under a lot of psychological pressure.
If the festival is held again and the sun god Golden Crow proves that their actions were right and that it was the high priest who was wrong, then they can reintegrate into the feathered society.
Therefore, when Xiang Ningxuan ordered the preparation of the sacrificial ceremony, the people of Yu immediately mobilized the whole people. In the case of insufficient supplies, a grand sacrificial ceremony was prepared in three days.
This mobilization capability is comparable to the general mobilization of war in the decisive battle against Naxxramas, and it is also voluntary by the whole people.
Xiang Ningxuan had to sigh, religion is indeed difficult, just such a small race of Mao God, his beliefs have such great resilience. There's no way to convert quickly other than killing them all, well, trolls don't count. In fact, trolls believe in power, and whoever has power and does not enslave them worships whomever they want.
Before the ceremony officially began, the feathers were already dressed in traditional holiday dresses and celebrated with singing and dancing.
When a lifelike golden crow statue forged by the engineer with skill was unveiled, all the feather people cheered.
The statue is about three meters tall and has a wingspan of nearly ten meters, and its whole body is golden, shining in the sun. The eyes are made of two fist-sized rubies, and they are radiant.
The formal ritual begins at noon, which is also the highest point of the sun, which is the right time to worship the sun god Golden Crow.
However, when the main priest came to the stage, the feathers were all stunned. Because the main priest is not the Yu Yan they expected at all, but a human being! The feather people who participated in the battle to suppress the high priest Qing Ji recognized it even more, that was Zhang Hunzi who led them to quell the rebellion and fought fiercely with the Golden Crow Projection!
