Chapter 236: The Twin Cities of the Demon Kingdom

What can be called a holy city in the hearts of the Jiuli people must be related to the twelve ancestral gods, but they didn't expect Ye Zhiqiu and them to accidentally find clues to the twelve ancestral gods.

And from the point of view of time, it just fits, during this period of time in the Western Jin Dynasty, whether it is the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace or the Twelve Ancestral Gods, they are currently blank, but the two are closely related to each other, if the Twelve Ancestral Gods can be found, they may also be able to trace the whereabouts of the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace.

"What is the origin of this demon country?" Xue Xinrou asked with interest.

"After discovering this major clue in the priest's tomb, Elder Wen told us that he has studied the evolution of the religious history of Miao for a long time, and the Miao people are the descendants of the ancestors of Jiuli, and they have retained a considerable part of the traditions of the Jiuli people in their religious inheritance, especially in Jiangxi, where the Miao people have been circulating a rumor for generations."

Ye Zhiqiu said to us with a calm face, according to legend, the ancestors of Jiuli once created a demon kingdom on the land of Jiangxi, but this demon kingdom is not a country, but a huge underground palace built underground, as for what it is used for, there has been no way to verify.

When Wen Ru was studying the religious history of Miaojiang in Jiangxi, he always thought it was a myth made up by the Miao people at first, but with the discovery of the priest's tomb, it was confirmed that this demon country did indeed exist.

And in the murals found in the priest's tomb, it presents the magnificent panorama of this underground demon country, but unfortunately, due to the landslide caused the tomb to crack, the color on the mural quickly decayed after contact with the air, and only the mottled and incomplete murals can see the once unprecedented magic kingdom underground palace.

In the murals, the Demon Kingdom is not closed, there are Jiuli people in and out and worship, so it is speculated that the Demon Kingdom should be a temple, and the role is the same as the temple of the ancestral gods found in Yunnan, which is used to worship the gods of the Jiuli people.

"Twelve Ancestral Gods!" The palace lord said ecstatically.

"No, it's not that simple." Ye Zhiqiu shook his head. "In the mural, the Demon Kingdom has a huge feature, the whole Demon Kingdom is a symmetrical building, all the things in the Demon Kingdom are two symmetrical two, and they are exactly the same two, the text in the tomb is called the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities by the Demon Kingdom."

"I remember when I went to the Temple of the Ancestral God, Wen Ru said that he once found a stone block carved with ornamentation in a ruin in Jiangxi, and the pattern on it was exactly the same as that on the bronze mask, the only difference was that the pattern on the stone was exactly the same on the left and right, and the ornamentation and craftsmanship were much more delicate than the bronze mask." I looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said intently. "Wen Ru has the memory of the Temple of the Ancestral God, he didn't know what the stone he found represented before, I believe that after seeing the Temple of the Ancestral God, he already knew it."

"The relics found by Wen Ru and the stone carvings found should have been inherited from the temple of the ancestral gods in Yunnan to Jiangxi, and the reason why the ornamentation process on the stone carvings is more delicate than the bronze mask shows that the worship of the ancestral gods has been secretly continuing." Tian Ji looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said. "It can be seen that the Demon Kingdom Holy City in Jiangxi should also be related to the Twelve Ancestral Gods."

"Theoretically, it should be so, but the discovery of the writings in the priest's tomb completely disproves this theory." Ye Zhiqiu looked at us with a solemn expression and said. "The text does mention the twelve ancestral gods, and it does not deny the status of the twelve ancestral gods, but in the mysterious twin cities of the demon kingdom, it is not the twelve ancestral gods that are worshipped."

"That'...... Who's that enshrined?! "I was taken aback.

"The Twelve Ancestral Gods did appear in Jiangxi, but from the written records, before the completion of the construction of the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities, the Jiuli people in Jiangxi were still in awe and worship the Twelve Ancestor Gods, but after the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities, the gods in the hearts of the Jiuli ancestors have changed bizarrely." Ye Zhiqiu also looked very dazed.

"What has changed?" Xue Xinrou asked.

"The previous twelve ancestral gods suddenly disappeared, and without any warning, it seemed that the ancestral gods who had been worshiped by the ancestors of Jiuli for thousands of years were suddenly gone, with the twin cities of the Demon Kingdom as the boundary." Ye Zhiqiu spread his hands and said.

"Religious belief and worship of gods have been formed for a long time, unless it is the collapse of faith, the gods of faith will not disappear for no reason, you must know that the twelve ancestral gods have an eternal and indelible divinity in the hearts of Jiuli people." I frowned and said in surprise. "And the most important thing is that the Twelve Ancestral Gods are not made up out of thin air, they are real, not to mention that the Jiuli people have any reason to give up the Twelve Ancestral Gods, they also have to have the courage to do it."

"But in fact, this is true, as for the reason, we have not found the answer in the priest's tomb, but this can also explain why in the rumors of later generations, the memory of the ancestors of Jiuli to the twelve ancestral gods is getting weaker and weaker, because after the Twin Cities of the Demon Kingdom, the twelve ancestral gods do not exist." Ye Zhiqiu took a deep breath and replied.

"Zhiqiu, you just said that after the Twin Cities of the Demon Kingdom, the gods worshiped by the Jiuli people have changed, since they are not the twelve ancestral gods, who are they worshipped?" I asked.

"I don't know, when we cleaned up the priest's tomb, we found that there were a lot of murals and texts left in the tomb, I believe that these contents should record the origin of the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities, as well as the twelve ancestral gods, but unfortunately most of them have been destroyed, and the only remaining content only mentions that the gods are enshrined in the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities, and the only thing that can be determined is only one thing." Ye Zhiqiu looked at us back and forth. "One, the god that the Jiuli people believe in has changed from the first twelve ancestral gods to a god."

"One?" Our mouths opened in shock.

Ye Zhiqiu nodded affirmatively: "It's a pity that the only words and murals that know the origin of the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities and the origin of the gods in them are all damaged, and it is not clear who this god is enshrined is, but one thing has never changed from beginning to end, the Jiuli people's reverence for this god is the same as for the twelve ancestral gods." ”

"It doesn't make sense." Tian Ji scratched his head and said. "Before the appearance of the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities, the Jiuli people worshiped only the twelve ancestral gods, from the point of view of time, the twelve ancestral gods appeared in Jiangxi, and the stay time was not short, so there is a question here, who drove the Jiuli ancestors to build the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities in Jiangxi?"

"Needless to say, it is only possible that the twelve ancestral gods, you have not seen the murals of the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities in the priest's tomb, although it is not complete, it is only the tip of the iceberg, but you can also imagine the grandeur and huge size of the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities, people can't do this, there is no one who can drive the Jiuli people to complete such a huge project, unless it is anyone, it is like building the Temple of the Ancestral God in the deep mountains." Ye Zhiqiu didn't even think about blurting it out.

"There is no doubt about this, but the more this is the case, the more bizarre things are, we have deduced before that the appearance of the twelve ancestral gods is related to the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, and the ship appeared in the Western Jin Dynasty, which is also the reason for the appearance of the twelve ancestral gods, but there is another common denominator between the two." I looked at the others and said solemnly. "Long sleep, with a lifespan that mortals can't imagine, once the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace disappears, the twelve ancestral gods will begin to sleep, waiting for the next awakening to start a chase that lasts for thousands."

The first long sleep was in the temple of the ancestral gods, and then the temple built by Emperor Qin, and there is another place in the middle, we have not found it, if you are not mistaken, the twelve ancestral gods built the twin cities of the demon country in Jiangxi, and the purpose is also to sleep.

"I think so too, but since it was the Twelve Ancestral Gods who let the Jiuli people build the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities, then why did the Twelve Ancestor Gods disappear from the beliefs of the Jiuli people after the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities are completed?" The palace lord looked dazed.

"Is it possible that gods have unattainable divine power and lifespan than mortals, but this does not mean that gods are immortal......" Xue Xinrou looked at us and said thoughtfully.

"You're saying that the Twelve Ancestral Gods have exhausted their final lifespan in the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities?" I looked down and muttered to myself as I thought.

"There is really this possibility, maybe the twelve ancestral gods died in the twin cities of the Demon Kingdom, but one god survived, so the gods worshiped by the Jiuli people will change from twelve to one." Tian Ji said.

"I also used to think so, but judging from the discovery in the priest's tomb, it may not be the case, if it is because the god he and died in the Demon Kingdom, then the remaining god should also be the ancestral god, but judging from the murals, it is completely two different beliefs and worship, and the enshrined god and the ancestral god are completely different." Ye Zhiqiu shook his head in denial.

"Since it is not an ancestral god, it can only mean that after the construction of the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities was completed, other things happened in the middle, and they were extremely important, so much so that they directly subverted the deep-rooted beliefs of the Jiuli people for thousands of years." Gong Jue said.

"In the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities, there was indeed an incident, the archaeological team found a record of a certain ritual held in the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities from the rescued murals." Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said.

"What ritual?" I asked.

Ye Zhiqiu told us that the content of the mural shows that a ceremony similar to a sacrifice was held in the Twin Cities of the Demon Kingdom, and the whole process was witnessed by many Jiuli people, and the content and reason of the sacrifice are unknown, but after this sacrifice, the twelve ancestral gods have not appeared again.

Along with the twelve ancestral gods, there is also this demon kingdom of gods and demons, and since the sacrifice, no one has even mentioned the existence of the demon kingdom.

"Sacrifice ......" I repeated this word repeatedly in my mouth, it seems that the ancestors of Jiuli have always had the ritual and inheritance of sacrifice since they believed in the twelve ancestral gods, and we found the process of sacrificing with living people in the temple of the ancestral gods, in fact, even we were used as sacrifices to worship the twelve ancestral gods.

However, the sacrifice is to show the awe and loyalty to the gods, the more sacrifices show that the belief in the gods is firmer, which also makes me more puzzled, since the sacrifice has been held in the twin cities of the demon country, what is the reason why the Jiuli people will suddenly give up and forget the ancestral gods who have believed in the gods for thousands of years?
