Chapter 424: Memories of the General
Chenxi glanced at Bai Ze in surprise, and then said with a smile: "Look, there were already precursors before you!"
Bai Ze smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I have ignored the resilience of your human race, and in that era, I was willing to measure the length of this heaven and earth with my feet. It's just a pity that the general's body has already been elementalized, even if he realizes this......"
Chenxi understood what Bai Ze meant, the cultivation of the soul law required the physical body as the foundation, but the generals obviously no longer had this condition.
"What are you talking about?" the general didn't understand what the two of them were discussing, he pursued the soul law only to get a way to repair the soul of the female reel, not for his own cultivation. He even said that he himself never realized it.
"It's nothing, you've traveled all the way, how are the laws collected?" Bai Ze shook his head, not ready to reveal more, saving his own troubles.
"These ancient gods have been hidden, with the help of the power of the Golden Horde, I have unearthed countless monuments and captured many exotic monks, but all I got are fragments!"
"Along the way, you should be able to get in touch with the shamanism of the northern steppe, the Bon religion of Tibet, the Brahmanism of India, the Zoroastrianism of Persia, the ancient gods of Northern Europe, and the rising Islam and Christianity, isn't there anything to be gained?" asked Chenxi curiously.
"The Tibetan region is guarded by the Phags-pa, and I don't get much useful stuff, and shamanism ...... The tradition of this school is extremely loose, and with the gradual disappearance of the ancient nomads, the rules of practice are incomplete. Instead, I was taught by Zoroastrianism to get some of Ahliman's inheritance, but this is a system of cultivation that focuses on destruction, and I use it to strengthen my spiritualism, which doesn't have much effect on soul restoration!"
"The extreme and extreme law of soul destruction, focusing on the pursuit of dark chaos, what kind of existence is this Ahriman?" Bai Ze asked Chenxi.
"Zoroastrianism is also the dark god of Zoroastrianism, and in the Persian worldview, Ahriman represents the dark side of the whole world and all beings who are enemies of humanity!" "Zoroastrianism was also a polytheistic in ancient times, and Mithra, the god of light and fire, was only one of the higher gods. But then Mithra was stripped of all godheads, and a deity named Ahura Mazda took his place and quickly ascended to the throne. Zoroastrianism then became monotheistic, and all other gods were relegated to evil spirits. Ahriman was not so much a deity as a representative of these exiled gods. ”
"A god who has suddenly risen, it seems that it is another drama of struggle for power and profit!" Bai Ze shook his head, in a complete god system, the hierarchy between gods is no less than that of human society, and it is not surprising that there are all kinds of conflicts between kings and losers.
"I used improved spiritualism to help the Golden Horde conquer cities in its western expeditions, and when I encountered the Slavs, I ran into some troubles!" the general continued, "This people are extremely warlike and devout in their belief in their gods...... Or even blindly. The cold weather in the north limited my spell casting, so I didn't get much useful information there either. ”
Dawn nodded knowingly, the ancient Norse god system is a completely different existence from other god systems. The prophecy of Doom Twilight made the Asgardian gods, led by Odin, brave and skillful, and his followers were even more fierce and fearless than the bearded men of later generations. Even when Christianity entered Northern Europe, it was through subtle assimilation, not by war and conquest. To this day, in many parts of Northern Europe, the myth of Odin and Saul coexists with Christian worship.
"I've heard that the Mongol armies used dead and rotting human and animal carcasses into cities during their expeditions to create plagues...... This can't be your idea!" Dawn listened to the general's talk about the weather, and suddenly remembered an ancient record.
"This ...... I came from shamanic teachings. This was originally a method used to pollute local water sources in tribal warfare, and I combined it with Ahriman's spells and applied it to the siege!" the generals did not seem to think that the pestle had admitted.
Chenxi smiled bitterly and nodded, this method of polluting water sources with animal carcasses first appeared in the war of the Western Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu, and it is normal for there to be a inheritance among the grassland shamans. If what the general said is true, then ......
"So, the Black Death is your handiwork?" asked Dawn.
"It was all an accident, you know, this method of spreading the plague doesn't work much in the cold ice fields and the hot deserts. Dry cold and dry heat will kill most plagues, but Western Europe is different......," the general nodded, "The Europeans tried to make a fortune in war, and in the process of trading with the Slavs, plague-infected rats got into their ships. But when the ships docked, the plague spread. You know the health situation in Western Europe at that time, and Kyushu was completely the same as the world, so ......"
Dawn always thought that this record was just the speculation of experts in later generations, but she didn't expect that this was the truth, and a series of coincidences almost wiped out the civilization of a continent.
"Then why did you leave the Mongol army again and use the power of the Golden Horde?" asked Chenxi curiously. In fact, the Yuan Dynasty did not stretch from East Asia to the Rhine as many people think. Only the part occupied by Kublai Khan belonged to the Mong Yuan. Although the rest of the vast territory was also occupied by the descendants of Temujin, collectively known as the Golden Horde, they were in fact independent kingdoms.
"The Mongol army can't help me more, and I feel the huge necromantic resentment from the south, so I go all the way south, wanting to pursue more laws of knowledge!" said the general, in order to get a way to repair the soul, he can be regarded as determined to seek the Tao and not afraid of hardships.
"And all these years?"
"I have lived in the Merovingian Kingdom for a while, and I have taken in a few apprentices, and I want to re-establish a force of my own to search for the lost relics of various god systems......" The general sighed softly, "and then something happened to Levy, in fact, when he first came into contact with the Grim Reaper, I already noticed a different necromantic aura in him. ”
