Chapter Ninety-Four: I'm Coming to God
"Well, my sister is right.
Although you and I know in our hearts that this must be the case, there is no proof of death, and after so many years, it is impossible for us to find strong evidence that Guo Huaijie killed someone.
It's a dead knot that can't be untied!"
Cheng Zhong frowned, sighed deeply and said.
Seeing Cheng Zhong's expression, Burulali touched his face lovingly and said:
"Little brother, don't worry!
As long as I, Wusun, find out who is guilty, it is useless for him to quibble, even if he can't find evidence, Guo Huaijie will definitely die. ”
Hearing Brulari comfort herself like this, Cheng Zhong laughed "hey, hey, hey".
He blinked and said:
"Good sister, having said that, if we kill him hard, it will be a trivial matter for him to refuse to accept him to the death, and the confusion of the 10 million people of the Wusun Alliance has not been solved, leaving a historical unsolved case, this matter will be a big deal.
When I first came here, I didn't want to leave an impression in people's minds that they were incompetent and oppressive.
Don't worry, let's take a look at Guo Huaijie's records after becoming a priest, even if you can't find evidence of his murder, finding evidence that he deceived the Wusun people can subdue him. ”
The two of them continued to bury their heads in Guo Huaijie's record of asking God.
Flipping through it, Cheng Zhong's mind flashed, and he raised his head and said to Brulali:
Guo Huaijie deliberately announced the entrance to another world, causing a large number of men to lose.
He has been a priest for more than ten years, and there must have been someone who went to the temple to ask relevant questions, and Guo Huaijie will definitely take the opportunity to continue to bewitch the Wusun people.
In order to deceive people, he will also misinterpret the intentions of the gods.
Now, wouldn't it be much easier to put aside the records of other trivial matters and just find similar records. ”
Brulari nodded yes again and again.
Soon, the two found one such page.
The person who asked God in the record was a Wusun man named Ayafeng.
The reason for asking God is, "Is there another world, and can I go to that world and come back?"
The reply of the gods was:
"Although there is another world, the 'wolf god' does not want the Wusun people to go to another world, because it is not a paradise either, and once they go, they cannot return to this world. ”
This is the first record in Chinese, and the intentions of the gods are very clear.
Then, Cheng Zhong asked Brulari to read the Wusun script on the bottom half of the page.
The general meaning of Wusun Wen is:
Of course, there is another world, and the "wolf god" wants the Wusun people to go to another world, because it is better than heaven, but once they go, it is difficult to return to this world.
Both texts are clearly written, but the meanings are completely different, so to speak, almost opposite.
Guo Huaijie inadvertently made a fatal mistake in this record of asking God.
In front of the gods, when he recorded them for the first time in Chinese, he completely recorded the words of the gods.
However, when the intention of the gods was explained to the Wusun people, they were maliciously altered, and the meaning of the alteration was recorded in the Wusun language.
Perhaps he thought that no one in the Wusun League could read the Chinese language, so he did not revise the original Chinese records.
Or maybe he thought about revising it afterwards and forgot because he was too busy with the business at hand.
"Haha, we finally caught the fox's tail!"
Cheng Zhong said loudly with a laugh.
After resting for a while, the two of them continued to rummage along these lines.
In the relevant records that follow, most of the victims ask the gods whether a relative has gone to another world and whether he can come back, and the answers to such questions are not significantly different from those in Chinese and Wusun.
There are also a few recent records, asking the gods whether the "wolf god" wants the Wusun people to go to another world, and the gods reply "very hopeful".
Chinese and Wusun are also exactly the same.
It is estimated that it was recorded in two languages after Guo Huaijie directly modified the divine will.
Until they were all over, the two did not find a contradictory record, so they had to give up.
Finally, Cheng Zhong gently pulled the top parchment evidence off the booklet, and found a blank piece of thin parchment, and carefully wrapped it.
He handed over the wrapped evidence to Burulali for safekeeping.
Brulari thought it was time to leave, but Cheng Zhong still sat there in a daze.
After a while, he began to rummage around, making a mess of the books and scriptures in the Scripture Pavilion.
Although Brulari was puzzled, she followed him to help sort it out.
Finally, Cheng Zhong found what he was looking for, which was a thin parchment book titled "Please Divine Magic".
Cheng Zhong sat back on the table and studied silently.
It wasn't until he fully grasped the contents of the book that he put it back in its place.
Brulari extinguished the candle, and the two of them left the Pavilion hand in hand.
"I'm going to try it myself, please God, ho ho!"
Cheng Zhong said to Brulari with a sneer as he walked down the steps.
When the two entered the temple from the apse, Cheng Zhong's mind was full of the content of "please magic".
"Please Divine Art" has many meticulous procedures and requirements, and Cheng Zhong has cut down the complicated ones and simplified them, and only memorized the most important ones.
The first is that there should be no women present.
Cheng Zhong had no choice but to apologize and ask Brulali to wait outside the main hall.
The second is to kowtow to incense.
This was the easiest to do, he lit three pillars of incense, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
The third is to send a message to the gods.
In "Please Divine Technique", the format and other details of the post are clearly written, Cheng Zhong found the bark paper and brush placed in the main hall, wrote it according to the format, and then burned it before taking it to the god case.
The fourth is kneeling incense and praying.
He lit another pillar of incense, held his hands up, knelt on his knees, closed his eyes slightly, and meditated on his reason for asking God.
When Cheng Zhong was in the main world, he invited the god once with his godfather Xu Shoujun, who he had just recognized, which was in the underground secret room of his house.
Through the method of "incense table", he truly experienced the existence of the gods, and the two poems written by the incense table are still remembered in his heart.
The reason why he invited God this time was mainly to find out whether the true intentions of Erlang God and King Roaring Heaven were the same as his own speculation, and further confirmed Guo Huaijie's crimes.
But he was a little apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't know if he could invite the gods by himself without the presence of the priest.
It is also impossible to predict in what form the gods will appear and communicate with themselves.
After a bit of nonsense, it took him less than five minutes to get to his feet.
The fifth rule of "please the gods" is to beat the drum to urge the gods.
Cheng Zhong picked up the drumsticks made from the roots of the tree that looked like large tobacco pouches, and moved his legs close to the cowhide drum hanging beside him.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
Three dull drums rang out, humming and shaking the air in the hall.
The sound of the drum was low and powerful, and it seemed to have a strong transmission power, and it rang in the ears of Cheng Zhong for a long time.
Listening to the sound of "bang", Cheng Zhong felt a flower in front of him.
In a trance, a stream of fire erupted from the top of the god's head, and something that looked like smoke and fog shook out of the firelight, flew up the high temple beams, and then hovered along the roof.
A huge and friendless phantom with a slender waist like a bow slowly emerged.
