While Sulla was in the midst of a bloody storm in Rome, dozens of strange men dressed in white robes and armed with silver scepters left the city of Juyan and headed for the depths of the northern steppes.

Ju Yanze's heroine Wu Ya stood on the tower of Juyan City, watching these people in white robes and silver rods heading towards the north, holding a book in his hand, the book had an empty cover but no name, but now there was an extra piece of jade pendant like fat on her jade neck.

"Are the crown and scepter ready?" When all the silver-scepter-white-robed people disappeared from view, Wu Ya said to the maid beside him faintly.

Wuya was already like the queen of the Juyan tribe, her courtiers and attendants were all women, but Wuya's method of controlling the Huns was not to rely on blood or power, but to rule these Huns with beliefs that had not yet fully emerged.

The more ignorant the civilization, the deeper its worship of nature and the stronger the power of faith. The Xiongnu are a people who worship nature and heaven and earth, and every year they will worship heaven and earth in Dragon City. However, the Xiongnu faith is still only a formality and has not yet been formed into the ruling system.

Wu Ya did not rule these Xiongnu remnants with her bloodline alone in the Juyan Department, but completely by faith, and now the Juyan Department can be said to have formed a tribe similar to religious rule, which is the so-called **** in later generations.

Since Wu Ya entered the Juyan Department, under the instruction of Huo Guang, the Juyan Department began to carry out the evolution of the only worship, and the object of worship was the moon god, which was originally in the Xiongnu worship, representing the belief of war and attack.

And Wuya is the agent of the moon god in the world, or Wuya is the doppelganger of the moon god. This kind of worship evolution and belief shaping was originally a very long process, but fortunately, there were few people in the Juyan tribe, and Wuya did make earth-shaking changes in the Juyan tribe, in this case, the belief that Wuya is the moon god was easily rooted in the hearts of the Huns in the Juyan tribe.

There is also an optimal situation for the spread of faith, that is, when the heart has no one to rely on, and it is difficult to provide food and clothing. In such difficult situations, people tend to place their hopes in faith. After the Xiongnu fought in Mobei, the grassroots Xiongnu herdsmen had actually lived such a life. Later, under the continuous penetration of Wuya, some weak Xiongnu tribes near the Juyan Department began to believe in the moon god, and then slowly developed to some medium-sized tribes, and now Uwei went south, and the life of the Xiongnu women and children who stayed in Mobei became more and more difficult, and some large tribes also began to have the belief in the moon god, and even the belief in the moon god also appeared in the royal court of Shan Yu and the royal court of Youxian Wang.

What Huo Guang and Wu Ya did was to use faith step by step to seize the ruling power of the Xiongnu. When the Uwei Ju clan invaded the south, it was actually the best time for Wuya to spread faith and seize the power of the Xiongnu. And when all this is ready, she still needs the best opportunity, just like when the new emperors ascended the throne and changed the dynasty, she needs a vision from the sky, and she needs to truly embody the power of the monarchy.

Those people in silver rods and white robes are Wu Ya's henchmen who have been carefully cultivated in the past few years, and they have a very religious title, white-clothed priests!

In the doctrine of the god of the moon, the priests in white are the clergy who can communicate directly with the god of the moon, and they are the faithful servants of the god of the moon in the world, and their words and deeds represent the will of the god of the moon, the bridge between man and the god, and the messenger of the god to spread the will.

With the development of several years, this Hun belief in the moon god has indeed formed a sect, a sect with a strict hierarchy and teachings. The supreme existence in the sect is naturally the moon god who lives above the nine heavens and looks down on the world, the moon god is not the sect leader, the sect leader is the moon god's doppelganger in the world, her substitute, the lord of the Juyan tribe, and the princess Wuya with noble blood. Below him were the white priests, the servants of God. After that, there are the priests of each tribe, and this kind of clergy called the high priest is like the leader of each tribe, whose status is only under the white-clothed priest, and directly obeys the orders of the moon god, their sect leader Wuya.

August 14, an ordinary day. Even in the eyes of the Huns, there was simply no such specific day. But in the hearts of all the priests in white were mindful of this day, and there was also an hour called the hour of the hour.

From the Juyan tribe to the north, both small and large tribes built a high platform a few miles away from the tribal gathering place. Some small tribes built high platforms with great fanfare, and all the fallen people gathered under the high platforms and knelt directly at the feet of the white-robed priests under the leadership of their tribal leaders. And the leaders of some of these small tribes were even high priests of that tribe themselves.

As for some medium-sized tribes, most of them gather on the high platform, where there are ordinary tribesmen and some tribal nobles. However, they didn't make too much fanfare, especially those tribes whose leaders didn't appear, and they had a sneaky feeling.

When it came to the larger tribes, even the royal courts, the altars were built even more distantly, and the people who participated in the sacrifices sneaked out of the tribe after dark, fearing that they would be discovered by the nobles and leaders of the tribes.

When the moon was in the middle of the sky, every Xiongnu tribe who believed in the moon god had already prostrate under the altar.

Xiongnu Daxi, a large Xiongnu tribe that belonged to the Shan royal court. The size of its tribe has reached more than 30,000 people, and it is also the largest tribe in the entire Xiongnu, and their tribal leader also serves as the head of the Xiongnu, and there are more than 13,000 people who went out with Uwei this time.

Now the leader of Daxi is the son of the great master, and he has already slept, but just as he was in a deep sleep, a close guard entered the yurt and woke up the sleeping son of the great master.

"Prince, most of the people in the clan have gathered five miles away, they seem to be worshipping something, please make a decision quickly..." Originally, he was also deliberately avoided by these Luna Cultists, but he went out because of the urgency to urinate, and stumbled upon the actions of these people, and then he followed him and discovered the secret sacrificial activities of the Luna Cult.

In the Xiongnu sacrifice is also a major event, not the tribal leader or the presiding officer, the ordinary Xiongnu people have no right to sacrifice privately. Now that someone has set up a private sacrifice, this is tantamount to a coup d'état, and the son of the big boss naturally did not dare to ignore it, and immediately got up and gathered the guards and rushed to the altar.

Because the main young and strong men of the Xiongnu went south with Uwei, there were not many warriors left, and the son of the big danghu only took a dozen people and hurried away.

When he reached the altar, he found a man in white robe standing on the altar, with his arms outstretched, holding a silver scepter in his hand, and chanting strange rituals in his mouth. And the people of their own tribe actually prostrate themselves on the ground, and their mouths also chanted in low voices.

"What are you doing? Arrest this eccentric man for me. "The son of the great pawn family estimates that this must be some kind of scheming conspirator, who is using a cult to bewitch the people, this kind of thing has not happened in the Xiongnu, but it has never happened on such a large scale before.

The white-robed priest ignored the question of the son of the great lord, and he continued to chant while looking up slightly at the full moon hanging high in the middle of the sky.

The moon was very round and bright tonight, and when the priest in white looked up, he felt that the moment was very close to the time they remembered.

Suddenly, the priest in white noticed that the moon seemed to be missing a corner, and then the gap was getting bigger and bigger. At this moment, not only did he not panic at all, but he was excited in his heart and sang even louder.

Under the altar were either the followers of the Cult of the Moon God prostrate or the people brought by the sons of the Great Lord, none of them paid attention to the sky, and no one had noticed the anomaly of the moon tonight.

"The moon god has a will, and her divine thoughts are about to descend on the earth..... Those foolish mortals who blaspheme the moon god will be punished by the great moon god......" Suddenly the white-robed priest stopped chanting, but chanted aloud.

The voice of the white-clothed priest attracted everyone's attention, and the believers looked at the white-clothed priest with blank expressions, and the son of the great pawn was already furious, and walked towards the altar with his steps, determined to kill the pretending man himself.

"Pretend to be a ghost, this prince will burn you alive." The son of the great lord looked at the white-clothed priest cruelly, in his opinion, these people are just pretending to be gods, but they can't do great things without weapons and warriors.

"Whoever blasphemes the god of the moon will be punished...... Divine punishment descended......" The white-clothed priest did not panic, suddenly put down his originally raised arm, and pointed the silver staff in his hand at the son of the great pawn.

Under the finger of the white-clothed priest, the son of the big man also subconsciously stopped. After being slightly stunned, he was about to laugh, when he felt that something was wrong, he felt that the moonlight, which was still bright, was rapidly dimming, and then he was surprised to find that the people next to him and the people under the altar were all looking at the sky with a look of astonishment.

The son of the great pawn also subconsciously raised his head, and then a scene that made him unbelievable appeared, only to see that the full moon, which was originally as round as a silver plate, was only half of it at the moment, and it was getting smaller and smaller, and it was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, just when he was stunned, the whole world suddenly went dark, and there was no trace of moonlight between heaven and earth!

"God has decreed, the great moon god has come to earth, and she will be the great queen of our Great Huns...... This blasphemous man, his body and soul, will no longer exist in this world....." The white-clothed priest continued in the darkness, his voice as if it came from the Nine Hells, but it was so convincing.

"Burn him .... Burn him..... Burn this blasphemous man ......." A Hun aunt who was closest to the son of the Great Danghu suddenly stood up and shouted excitedly and feverishly.

"Burn him....... Burn him ......" As Aunt Huns shouted feverishly, more believers joined in, and the entire altar was filled with a feverish atmosphere.

When these fanatical believers shouted to burn the son of the Great Pawn, the white-robed priest recited at the right time: "The merciful moon god will not let her people endure darkness..... Light is about to return to earth....."

It was not just a coincidence or was really manipulated by the gods, with the chanting of the white-clothed priest, a glimmer of light appeared again in the dark heaven and earth, and a touch of moonlight slowly appeared in the middle of the sky, and then expanded little by little, and then the full moon reflecting the heaven and earth appeared again.

This sudden change made the already fanatical believers even more fanatical, and they roared wildly and sang the praises of the moon god. At the same time, he was even more resentful of this great son who had blasphemed the moon god.

It was still the burly Hun aunt, she rushed to the altar completely ignoring the others, and lifted the once high prince with his strong and powerful arms, and the son of the big man was like a little lamb by the Hun aunt under the armpit, and dragged to a stake in the center of the altar.

"Burn him..... Burn him to death....." There was a frenzied shout from under the altar, and more people rushed to the altar, and they frantically tore the clothes of the son of the great lord, and then tied him to a stake, and soon another believer brought firewood. It's really going to burn their former master.

The guards brought by the sons of the great lords were still completely stunned at the moment, and they were also shocked by the frenzied atmosphere here. Of course, what really made them forget their duties was the sudden disappearance of the moon and the sudden appearance of the situation just now, and they believed, and even convinced that it was really the will of the moon god.

"You can't..... You can't ...... like that" The son of the Great Boss was completely flustered, and even he was somewhat convinced that he had really blasphemed the moon god, but he really didn't want to die......

No one heeded his wails, and the torch mercilessly lit the firewood at his feet. A moment later, only a raging fire remained on the altar, and the people screaming madly in the flames, and the Hun believers who were around the fire with fanatical faces......

Such a scene is not only in Daxi, there are some places where there is no crazy burning at the stake, and the whole ceremony is carried out peacefully, while in some places such burning at the stake also occurs, and there are even wars between believers and former nobles in some tribes.

This is destined to be a night of great epochal significance in the history of the Xiongnu, and it is also the most crazy and bloody night on this grassland.

And with this madness and blood, soon another Xiongnu co-lord appeared, this Hun woman who was chanted by fanatical believers as a queen, wore her own crown, and a unique golden scepter, and appeared in the Xiongnu's Shan Yu royal court.

The queen of the Huns appeared for the first time in history, and it was still when the Huns were still alive. When Wu Ya ascended to the throne of the Xiongnu as a king, her brother who was once high, Shan Yu, who had penetrated the farthest into the Han Dynasty in the history of the Xiongnu, was still fighting with Shangguan Ji outside the city of Fushi.

The changes on the grassland did not reach Uwei quickly, and her sister Uya quickly integrated the forces on the grassland.

When Uwei received the news of the great change in the grassland outside the city of Fushi half a month later, the homeland behind him had changed owners, and it was no longer the original Xiongnu, but a **** country, and her sister was the leader of the Lunatic Cult and the supreme queen of the Great Huns.
