Chapter 5 Clues and Hypotheses
In any case, Kukulkan is now the leader of the Old Gods, recognized by Sidomon and Chuckchel, and even Ichichel cannot fight in the open. Then the Heron Society will not be able to openly confront Kukulkan, even if there are royalty and other dignitaries in the society.
But the Heron Society wanted to more or less show their intentions, so they began to worship Itsamu.
Judging from Ichchel's attitude, there are still differences within the ancient gods, which can be roughly divided into the Itsumner faction led by Ichchel and the powerful Kukulkan faction.
The strife of the old gods also affected the world, and the legend of Kukulkan usurping the throne of the sun god of Itsumna gradually began to spread. But it's just a legend, It-Sumner is still the sun god recognized by the West Daomen, just like the first emperor who has entered the Taimiao, and there is no problem in worshipping It-Sumna.
Therefore, the heron will use the worship of Itsumner to express its opposition to Kukulkan without attracting the investigation of the West Daomen. To put it bluntly, it is anti-Kukulkan and not anti-Xidaomen.??.
This also explains why the Heron Society does not worship the ancient god Pachaka, since Pachaka is not related to Kukulkan, and worshipping Pachaka does not express the Heron's purpose of secretly opposing Kukulkan.
The history of the past always serves the politics of the present.
This is not necessarily true worship, but it may be another form of opposition.
Now Qi Xuansu has one more clue, but he will not track down the Heron Society for the time being, because this line is relatively obscure, and it is difficult for him as a foreigner to intervene in it in a short time, it is better to let the Absolute Holy Church track down this clue, he still starts with the more conspicuous shadow.
Qi Xuansu asked again, "By the way, Chief Tantai, you once said in your letter that these cases all happened after Kukulkan completely replaced Itsumna, and at the same time, the word 'thorough' was specially marked, I want to know, what is the standard and boundary of this 'thorough'?"
"In the past, even though It-Sumner had fallen, when the followers of Tawantin prayed to the sun god without specifying which sun god it was, some of the incense would still flow to It-sumner to contribute to his resurrection. 'Kukulkan' must be recited in order to be accurately located, which means that Kukulkan has not really replaced Itsumner as the sun god, and is a 'usurper' or 'usurper'."
"Kukulkan must have been dissatisfied with this, and further accelerated the cannibalization of the Itsumner priesthood, which was divided into two parts. Part of it was Kukulkan's encroachment on the kingdom of God, just as he had taken the priesthood of the sun god Misil. The other part is the change of his followers on the earthly plane, including:
Not limited to the destruction of statues, murals, legends, written records, etc., the temple of Kukulkan privately called the "History Book of the Years" operation by tampering with the parts that could not be destroyed, and finally achieving the goal of changing the consensus of the public memory. This was met with resistance from the Itsumner followers, but Kukulkan was able to accomplish it with his might."
"Eventually, when the believers simply prayed to the sun god without specifying which sun god it was, the incense power began to flow to Kukulkan in its entirety, which meant that Kukulkan had completely replaced Itsumner as the only sun god in the New World. That's how we divide the timeline."
The word "thorough" is explained in great detail.
At the same time, this also explained one thing to Qi Xuansu, why when Qi Xuansu asked the Jehoc Church to gather information about Kukulkan, the Jedi Holy Church would make the "Shadow Case" the main content.
Whether it is the murder of the priest of the Sun Temple, or the Shinxikyo Sun Temple shrouded in shadows, as well as the black sun tattoo, the time node of the crime, and even the Heron Society involved because of Qi Xuansu's inquiry, they all have a more or less overt or implicit relationship with Kukulkan.
This can't help but raise the question, is the "Shadow Case" single-handedly planned by Kukulkan and has an ulterior purpose? Or is it someone else secretly plotting against Kukulkan with the intention of overthrowing him?
That is, whether Kukulkan is a perpetrator or a victim
?
This is not an easy question to answer, and if you get it wrong, you will be wrong in terms of motivation, and the end result will be the opposite.
Qi Xuansu seems to have a lot of clues now, but these clues are all fragmented, and they are not enough for Qi Xuansu to get a glimpse of the whole picture. Then Qi Xuansu can only make bold assumptions and carefully verify them.
He now assumed that this was a series of conspiracies against Kukulkan, then Ihichel was undoubtedly the biggest suspect, and there was even a possibility that she was the mastermind behind the Heron Society, which was not difficult for a god. Don't underestimate Ichchel, if she hadn't split into two people, she would have been the head of the gods after the fall of Itsumner.
Follow this guess and continue to deduce.
If Ichchel is behind this series of cases, then what is her purpose?
Now it seems that it is necessary to overthrow Kukulkan, including to
Daomen's exposure of Kukulkan is all aimed at achieving this purpose.
So think deeper, what about after the overthrow of Kukulkan? Just for revenge? Or resurrect Itsamutu? Or is it Ichchel himself?
In any case, from the perspective of motivation, the logic in this is reasonable.
However, Qi Xuansu has an inexplicable intuition, I'm afraid things won't be so simple.
After the banquet, Huang Fuji said goodbye and left, he has never been indifferent to ghosts and gods, he is only interested in human affairs, such as the construction of Xingang and Xindao Palace.
Regarding this, it may be a common problem of Takeo. Since embarking on the road of martial arts, first the spirit and flesh are one, and then the ghosts and gods are changing, and even the ten thousand laws are not violated, and naturally there is no relationship with ghosts and immortals. Later, after the martial artists comprehended the means of "shattering the void", everything was really just a punch. This dooms the martial artists to be unable to go to idealism, but only to be materialistic.
What is Materialism? To put it simply, matter is the first nature, and spirit is the second nature.
On the contrary, Fang Shi and Wu Zhu are idealistic.
Immortals and Qi Refiners want everything, and they always have to pay attention to a balance. In other words, both hands should be grasped, and both hands should be hard.
As for Qi Xuansu, he is more materialistic, but not as absolute as the martial artists.
Then Huang Fuji's actions are very understandable, the development of Xingang and the opening of Xindao Palace are the first things, and resisting the steam gospel is also the first thing, which are all visible and tangible substances. As for the rest, fear, unpredictability, the unknown, and desire, until it is truly confirmed, it cannot be said that it is not important, at least not that important. In other words, unless Taiying can come up with tangible evidence to Huang Fuji, Huang Fuji will not personally participate in it, at most it will be a convenient door.
Qi Xuansu thought so, and asked to see the body of the deceased.
Of course, Taiying would not refuse, and the main hall of the Absolute Saint Hall was also on the Shanxiu Mountain, not a few steps away from the place where the three of them would hold a banquet. The two of them soon arrived at the main hall of the Absolute Holy Hall, and although the road was heavily guarded, the path was unimpeded with the lead of the chief deputy hall master, the chief deputy hall master.
Finally, Qi Xuansu saw the corpses in the cold cellar used to store special evidence and corpses under the Absolute Holy Hall.
Qi Xuansu first looked at those black sun tattoos and found that these tattoos were very abnormal. Normal tattoos are tattooed on the surface of the skin and can be washed off by some means, but this black sun tattoo is on the skin
This is clearly not an ordinary means.
That's why Taiying calls it an imprint.
What is the difference between some marks that were present before the deceased was alive, and some that were created after the deceased was attacked by the Shadows? It is not yet known.
Qi Xuansu continued to examine the bodies of these people.
The internal organs were empty, the flesh and blood had completely withered, and only skin and bones remained, and judging from the temperature of the cold cellar, it was clear that the corpses were not rotting normally, but had been eroded by the shadows.
This is quite similar to the method of blood sacrifice, and in the original Jinling Mansion, the people who were harmed by the Si Ming Zhenjun showed this characteristic, so it seems that these shadows do have a certain connection with the ancient gods, and even some kind of blood sacrifice means.
From this point of view
, involving blood sacrifices, Kukulkan has the motive to dominate all this, after all, the heavenly karmic fire in Kukulkan Divine Kingdom cannot be faked.
This is in conflict and contradictory with Qi Xuansu's previous assumption that Iichchel is the mastermind behind the scenes.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but have a thought, could it be that this series of "shadow cases" was not from the plot of one party, but the endgame left after the secret conflict between multiple forces?
As for why Qi Xuansu didn't ask Ihichel directly, the reason was very simple, Qi Xuansu couldn't really trust Ichichel yet, and he didn't want to startle the snake.
In addition to the corpse, there is also a shadow servant captured by the Jeary Holy Temple.
I don't know what method the Absolute Holy Temple used, this shadow servant has fallen into a deep sleep, but just in case, the Absolute Holy Temple still fixed it with a special torture instrument to imprison the celestials.
Qi Xuansu walked up to this so-called shadow servant and looked at it carefully.
Although he still roughly maintained his human form, there were many beastly features on his body, a bit like a savage, and a bit like a half-human and half-demon, which easily reminded Qi Xuansu of those Fenglinzhou people who were infected by evil fire and turned into monsters.
This is the advantage of being experienced, being well-informed, always finding a rough reference for something, and then using the solved puzzles to correspond to the unsolved puzzles.
What is the resemblance between the Shadows and the Flames?
Taiying followed Qi Xuansu's side and explained to him in detail, "We call them Servants of Shadows, and according to the Tawantin priests, this kind of thing should be called Yasir, and they are from heaven
Emissary and Guardian."
Qi Xuansu said, "Heaven? Whose home is Paradise? Is Its Sumner? Or Ichichel? Or Kukulkan?"
