Chapter 483: Sun Priest
Through observation, Gao Jingfei found that there were dozens of transcendents with psionic reactions in this tribe, most of whom were warriors, some with swords, some with armor, and some with bows and arrows.
"According to the document of the Bald Eagle Anomaly, the Aztec Empire is said to have three major samurai groups, namely the Tiger Warrior, the Eagle Warrior, and the Bow and Arrow Warrior, among which the tiger of the Tiger Warrior is actually a jaguar."
"There are also obsidian-bladed spearmen, skeleton warriors, and other warriors, and this Indian civilization has made their warriors very warlike because of the idea of crowned war."
"The Descendants of the Sun is an organization that inherits the traditions of their ancestors, and the transcendents within it are also divided according to the various warrior professions of the Aztec Empire, with the exception of their priests."
After seeing those priests, Gao Jingfei couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart.
The profession of priest is known as a caster profession as soon as you hear it, and unlike those who are self-taught or inherit the talent of the bloodline, the priest belongs to the priesthood among the casters, and there are also casters of divine spells called the priesthood.
The so-called magic caster is a spellcaster who relies on faith and prayer to exchange power from the gods or other great beings, including but not limited to priests, priests, shamans, druids, and other professions.
Yes, druids are also spellcasters, and it is said that druids usually ask for power from nature.
The counterpart to the magic caster is the mage, wizard, warlock, psychic mancer, alchemist, and other professions known as the "arcane spellcaster".
Both are Dharma masters, and the difference is only that the source of their power is different.
This is how the transcendent spellcasters in the West are divided, and in the Xuanmen of Middle Earth, Gao Jingfei estimates that most of their monks, especially the Taoist priests who are registered, are a combination of mages and priests, because in addition to their own cultivation, Taoist priests will also ask for power from ancestors, immortals, and even heaven and earth nature. Even the Quanzhen sect, which claims to only cultivate one's own body, is no exception.
"Unless the Xuanmen monk is a particularly partial one, even if he has never joined the Taoist sect, he usually has a few talismans or asks the gods to help him, and some of them also cultivate the body or swordsmanship, which can be called a magic spell, divine art, body art, alchemy, weapon making, Qimen formation and other professional skills and cultivation of a transcendent profession."
Strictly speaking, Gao Jingfei felt that although he was only a beginner in the art of talismans, he could also be regarded as a member of the magic caster, and as the inheritor of the ancient witchcraft, he had mastered the ancient method of the Heavenly Mandate Spell, and he could actually be classified as a legendary profession, the Heavenly Mandate Warlock.
However, he also cultivated the method of refining qi and visualization in the Dao Gate, the method of refining the gods and incarnation in the side gate, the method of refining the body of the Demon Dao and the method of natal gods and demons, and even the method of Tantric Dharma Seal and Mantra.
Therefore, with Gao Jingfei's spiritual vision, the three priests of the Sun Descendants organization did not need to cast the Eye of Fate, they could clearly see the golden divine light shrouded in each other's body, and at the same time, there was also a trace of blood-colored light.
"There's nothing wrong with the golden divine light being the favor of the gods, but the blood-colored light is a little weird! There seemed to be a sense of resentment in this, and it was clear that the three priests had gone into the wrong way. ”
Gao Jingfei shook his head and sighed, estimating that this blood-colored light should be the consequence of these people after holding a blood sacrifice.
Regarding the blood sacrifice, there is a public case in the Daomen, that is, the action of the ancestor Tianshi in Xishu to cut down the mountain and break the temple and sweep the ghosts of the six days, that is the beginning of the prosperity of the Daomen, and it is also a symbol of the extinction of the large-scale primitive ghost and god belief in Middle-earth.
Whether it is the sacrifice of ghosts and gods in the Xia and Shang periods, or the Zhou ritual sacrifice in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, they cannot get rid of the sacrifice of the primitive ghost and god beliefs, the difference is that the Xia and Shang periods generally had the bad habits of blood sacrifice and burial, while the Zhou Dynasty inherited the policy of Emperor Xin, that is, the king of Zhou, suppressed human blood sacrifices, and replaced them with livestock and terracotta figurines, but the Zhou Dynasty lacked strong centralized power, so the princes below were still indispensable for blood sacrifices, burials and other behaviors.
It wasn't until the first emperor swept the six countries that the blood sacrifice and burial were swept into the garbage heap of history, but within a few decades, the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, the children and grandchildren of the Liu Bang family couldn't help but secretly engage in the funeral, until Taoism was established and became the mainstream, this kind of blood sacrifice and burial behavior was almost extinct.
The reason why I say almost is because Middle-earth is vast, and it is inevitable that some remote areas will have some ancient bad habits left.
For example, the so-called staking is an evil deed that continues to occur occasionally in modern times.
Of course, this refers to the widespread martyrdom of the people, and it is inevitable that individual emperors in history will have the behavior of letting their concubines be buried after death, some of which are the emperor's own will, but there are also persecutions by others.
Not to mention that as an immortal monk, as a normal person with morality and conscience, Gao Jingfei instinctively disliked these acts such as blood sacrifices and burials.
What's more, the power produced by the Blood Sacrifice is distorted and contrary to the laws of nature, and he had been exposed to the power of the Blood Sacrifice in the copy of the Harvest Altar in the beginning.
And according to the Heavenly Dao or the will of Nature, the distorted divine power generated by these blood sacrifices is also the virus that he needs to eliminate as a Heavenly Dao agent, otherwise the spread of the residual poison will cause a greater lesion in the world itself.
Therefore, since he had seen the situation of these priests, of course he could not just walk away.
It's just that considering the actions of the Bald Eagle Abnormal Investigation Bureau, and the follow-up he still wants to go to the C34 base with him, he didn't make a move in advance, but waited to see the quality of the transcendent in the United States.
The people of the United States did not let Gao Jingfei wait longer, nearly an hour after he came to this mountainous area, from the sky above the uninhabited forest outside the temple, the sky was like dandelions, and dozens of inconspicuous parachutes fell.
That is, Bald Eagle has not yet developed the kind of aircraft that can take off and land vertically in the comics, so after completing the convergence, the joint operation team of the military and the Bureau of Anomalies chose the easiest way, which is to parachute.
Because the mountain road is southbound, and there is no place for the plane to take off and land, so they choose to parachute close to the target, after all, this is a covert operation, otherwise change to other actions, with the strong influence of the United States in the neighbors, the transport plane can land at the nearest airport, and then borrow a helicopter from the local government to rush to the destination.
It makes no difference whether it's a parachute jump or a helicopter rappelling, all of whom are well-trained.
In fact, the paratrooper assault was more hidden for them, after all, the helicopter was louder and could be heard from a distance.
The operatives involved in the Sundescendants' mission this time were undoubtedly very well-trained elites, and although the high-altitude skydiving allowed them to land in a relatively scattered location, and it was in the mountains and forests with complex terrain, when the last operative assembled at the target location, it took no more than half an hour from the time they landed.
Chris Harrison, the captain of the Star-Spangled Banner, is undoubtedly the most qualified commander of the entire team, he is not only a veteran of the battlefield, but also a veteran police detective, and more importantly, he is the strongest of all the people present.
"Our target is the temple, and the mission targets are all in the temple, so try not to attack people in the surrounding villages unless they actively attack ......"
Harrison still adheres to his bottom line of justice, but the rest of the team is not necessarily, although everyone understands, but in the end it is not a system of personnel, Harrison can only manage those members of the Heterogeneous Bureau, and he does not have much power over the people in the military.
So the group didn't talk too much nonsense, and moved swiftly towards the temple built on the hill platform.
