Chapter 58: Religious Stories

It seems to be the nature of every clergyman to be keen on preaching, and the fox sacrifice is no exception, at the foot of the fox god sculpture, a fox and a wolf sit on the ground, so the exchange of religious questions, but the main thing is that the sacrifice says, the white wolf listens, but the white wolf occasionally asks questions about the issues he is interested in.

According to the ritual, the fox god was born from the sun in the sky, and when he came to the ground, he found that the dark creatures were raging all over the place, and the shadows were full of cruel monsters and ferocious poisonous insects, and the fox god hated everything that was disgusting, so he washed away the evil he saw with divine flames, and all the dark things found by the fox god were destroyed in an instant, but there were still some dark minions that escaped the fox god's first punishment.

In order to purify the darkness hidden in the shadows, the fox summoned the flame of the sun from the sun, and the hidden monsters had nowhere to hide under such firelight, and the flame of the sun wheel burned continuously for a thousand years, so all the evil was purified, this is the second round of punishment, after this punishment, the fox god finally created a pure land on the earth.

The fox god lived in the Pure Land for a while and felt a little bored, so he collected the flames on the ground, imitated his own form, and shaped these flames into one little fox after another, and in this way, the original fox clan was born.

The fox god comes from the sun, representing the flame of the sky, and the little foxes that are shaped come from the fire that already exists on the ground, representing the fire of the earth, and the little foxes hurry up to the fox god to give them life and intelligence, so they began to worship the fox god, and the fox god also responded to the foxes, and in turn protected them, so that the original belief system was born.

Many of the ideas of the fox clan also come from this, the fox god comes from the sun, so the position of the sun in the minds of all foxes is second only to the fox god, and many cultural traditions, festivals and poems in the fox clan are related to the sun.

In the minds of foxes, flames are divided into two categories, one is the flame of the sky, and the other is the flame of the earth, foxes are born with the flame of the earth, so they can only live on the earth.

The foxes believe that in the eyes of the fox god, all the flames of the earth are the same, and he treats all foxes equally, so the hierarchical concept in the fox clan is also very weak, which the white wolf deeply understands, as a family sacrifice, the status of the fox clan sacrifice should be quite high, after all, it is to act as a contact between gods and people, but in real life, the sacrifice has always been quite approachable, and everyone's feelings for her, there are very few elements of love, more in fact, love.

When communicating with Qingyue, Absinthe and the sacrifice together, Qingyue and Absinthe sometimes interject in, such interjection behavior does not seem blunt at all, it is definitely not pretended, but quite natural, it is obviously a habit that has been cultivated for a long time, if the concept of hierarchy is strong, the foxes will never dare to disturb the sacrifice to speak, from this point of view, the hierarchical concept between the foxes is indeed very thin.

Cremation is the only way for foxes to be buried, generally held at noon at ten oon, they think that this can make their souls fly to the sun, so that the earth fire becomes the sky fire, so that they can live with the fox god forever, as for why the time is chosen at noon, the reason is that they feel that the sun is the most powerful during this time period, and it is closest to the ground, so that the soul of the deceased can walk a little less when going to the sun.

For a long time, the fox clan lived with the fox god, and the fox god passed on his divine power to a fox, and the fox became the first priest of the fox clan. They lived together, attacking the darkness farther away, and such days passed for about tens of thousands of years, and during these tens of thousands of years, the fox clan also developed their own rune technology, which was used to assist the fox god's divine arts.

From this story, the white wolf got a shocking news, if the legend is true, then the rune technology of the fox clan is not actually from the fox god, but they have studied it themselves, and the fox god's magic is two completely different systems, that is to say, in addition to the elemental runes in this world, there may be a mysterious power called divine magic, and this power The white wolf has not yet been contacted, of course, this must be established under the premise that this religious story is credible, such religious stories and legends are mostly components, and the white wolf never dares to believe it easily。

The story continues, as time passes little by little, the Pure Land is expanded very much, in a dark attack the foxes found that there are other Pure Lands in this world, the foxes told the fox god about this, the fox god seemed to be surprised, so he went to the pure land with the foxes to explore, in that pure land, they met another group of species.

and another god.

This species calls itself the eagle, and the name of the god is the eagle god, this species is good at flying, which the foxes have never seen before, and the belief system and social system are also very different, due to various differences, the two sides do not adapt to each other, and even a small fight arises.

In order to end the dispute between the two species, the fox god made an alliance with the eagle god, and the dispute between the two species ended from then on, and the peace lasted for a while.

However, such days did not last long, as the Pure Land gradually expanded, the foxes discovered more and more other species, some species have powerful gods, some do not, for various reasons, there are constant disputes between the various races, and there have even been many extinctions.

The fox god saw that the species were fighting with each other, and he couldn't bear it, so he united with the Eagle Clan and several other well-related groups to form an alliance, and the species between several alliances did not fight each other, did not interfere with each other, and gradually, more and more races joined this alliance, and this alliance also had a new name.

The name is called the Covenant of All Souls, and there are no complicated legal constraints, only three simple and clear consensus: all souls are equal, do not interfere with each other, and do not fight each other. The meaning is simple and clear, that is, the gods in the covenant are equal to each other, and the tribes are equal to each other, and no one is above the other, and one race must not interfere in the internal affairs of another tribe within the covenant, nor can it attack the tribe located within the covenant.

Groups that violate these three rules will be expelled from the Covenant of All Souls and will lose the right to rejoin forever.

"May I ask where the gods ended up?" After learning so much about religion, the white wolf asked a question that interested him the most.

"Of course, I returned to my respective kingdom of God, and after the covenant of all souls was gradually established, the fox god and some gods no longer appeared in front of us, but I can still feel that he is there, above the sun. The priest looked up at the large round hole at the top of the fox god's ancestral hall, revealing a pious look.

At this time, it was noon, and the sun appeared in the center of the hole, and its light shone on the statue of the fox god through the hole in the roof, and the statue glowed with golden light.
