Chapter 10: The Truth of the Blood Sacrifice
Qi Xuansu looked at the black sun in front of him and muttered, "What is this?" ”
Wu Niang also looked at the mural of the black sun, and there was a flame surging in her eyes: "You can think of it as a special talisman with magical powers." ”
This is equivalent to not saying this, of course Qi Xuansu knows that this mural has magical power - isn't the source of the shadow magical enough?
Qi Xuansu changed his words again: "Who left this mural here?" ”
"Definitely from the temple. Thousands of precautions, home thieves are difficult to prevent. Wu Niang shook the feathered snake skin bag in her hand, "Only your own family can bypass this thing, leaving this mural here, which eventually led to the outbreak of shadows." This mural is more like an introduction, turning some of the island's accumulated divine power into the power of shadows. ”
Qi Xuansu asked, "What should I do now?" Ruining this mural? ”
Wu Niang said: "All things are always conserved, the divine power on the island has been emptied, these shadows are like water without a source, although they show the appearance of external expansion, but in essence, they are returning to the light, otherwise you don't have to repair the hole you burned at the cost of becoming thinner as a whole, but directly from the source to give birth to more shadows to repair, so after a while they will dissipate on their own." ”
Qi Xuansu continued to stare at the black sun: "I don't understand, what is the intention of these shadow powers? It will not be as simple as making some moves to attract Xidaomen's attention, there must be a deeper profit drive. ”
Wu Niang did not deny this statement: "I heard that you once saw Si Ming Zhenjun descend in Jinling Mansion, right?" ”
Qi Xuansu nodded: "The demons of the Knowing Destiny Sect have invested a lot of so-called 'gifts' in the water, not only with various waterways all over the city, but also making Zhenwu Lake a container carrier for Si Ming Zhenjun, so the momentum of that divine descent is very huge." And the purpose of Si Ming Zhenjun is to harvest the soul and flesh and blood. ”
Wu Niang said: "For the immortals, the incense wish power and the soul can be eaten. People are like leeks. Leeks are such a thing, cut a stubble for ten days to sprout, the mode of harvesting incense and fire will power is to cut leeks, retain their roots, as long as the roots of the leeks are still there, you can eat several stubbles, and the way to harvest the soul is to uproot it, and it will be gone after eating. Therefore, most immortals will not harm people's lives, but will only spread faith and cut leeks repeatedly. ”
"However, there are exceptions to everything, and in terms of potency, the soul is more 'restorative' than the incense wish, just as the value of an old hen is definitely above the egg. If there is an emergency, the immortals will also kill chickens and eat meat, and directly use the soul to replenish the divine power, which not only saves the cumbersome steps of extracting the divine power from the incense wishing power, but also the amount of divine power provided by a person's living soul is equivalent to the incense wish power of a hundred devout believers or a thousand less devout ordinary believers for a year, which is the origin of the blood sacrifice. ”
"At that time, the Five Demon Sect advocated Lu Xu, and wanted to be resurrected, but limited by his belief that it was almost extinct, so he sent people to secretly collect living souls by collecting and cutting them, ten living souls are worth the output of ten thousand ordinary believers in a year, one hundred living souls is the output of one hundred thousand ordinary believers in a year, and one thousand living souls is the incense wish power of one million ordinary believers in a year. He only needs a thousand living souls to be resurrected. If it is a person who has achieved cultivation, this number can also be reduced, according to different cultivation, the divine power that can be transformed by the divine soul of the innate person and the celestial person is also different, and I don't know exactly what the exchange ratio is. ”
"Of course, there are hidden dangers in this quick fix, just like the immortals have the restriction of the Heavenly Tribulation, and the consequence of the blood sacrifice is karmic fire. A little karmic fire, of course, is nothing, for the golden body of the gods and the kingdom of the gods, it is just a disease of ringworm and scabies. But if the karmic fire accumulates too much, it will make the golden body decay, the kingdom of God will collapse, and a fire will be burned clean, so unless it is a matter of life and death, the immortals will not collect living souls on a large scale, which is tantamount to drinking water to quench thirst. ”
"At this point, the resistance of the immortals is also different, such as Wu Luo, who is the most able to resist karmic fire, and even manipulate karmic fire, so Wu Luo likes blood sacrifice the most, but Wu Luo has accumulated too much karmic fire in the past two hundred years, and the number far exceeds that of other immortals, even if Wu Luo's resistance is high, it can't stand too much, and it can't be unscrupulous blood sacrifice anymore, and it must be reined in."
"However, it can only be said that Wu Luo has reduced the frequency of blood sacrifices, not that blood sacrifices will no longer be made. Do you remember the incident of the fall of Tsowenbu 'Yinglong'? If Wu Luo just shot down the 'Ying Dragon', relying on the protection mechanism inside the 'Ying Dragon', not so many people would have died, and some people inside the Dao Gate just wanted to use the cost of the damage of a 'Ying Dragon' to achieve a certain political goal. But Wu Luo took the opportunity to harvest the living soul, resulting in the accidental death of a large number of Taoist priests, who were all Taoist priests who were cultivating in the body, how much divine power did you say Wu Luo obtained? The death of so many people was unexpected by Daomen, and it greatly exceeded the bottom line of Daomen's tolerance, and it could even be said to have angered Daomen, so Daomen quickly reached a consensus within Daomen and gave a strong counterattack. ”
"Why do I know so well, you ask?"
Wu Niang straightened the star crown and dusted off her feather coat again: "The contemptible people are fortunate to have personally participated in the war and invaded the Wuluo Divine Kingdom with the army. That's right, with the army. That operation was not a great real person and two first-rank spirit officials as announced to the public, but three great true people and six first-rank spirit officials, as well as the corresponding 'Ying Long' fleet, with the purpose of putting Wu Luo to death. ”
"Wu Luo naturally suffered a heavy blow, if it weren't for the rescue of the Buddhist forces, even if she occupied the geographical advantage of the Kingdom of God, she would have been beaten into the state of death for the first time. In the end, it was equivalent to spitting out all the divine power that had been eaten, and a lot of it was pasted upside down. ”
Only then did Qi Xuansu know that there was such a secret behind the original Cuowenbu incident.
What is the concept of three great real people and six first-grade spirit officials? This is not counting the immortals and "Ying Long", no wonder Wu Luo is guarding the kingdom of God, but he is still not an opponent, and he was almost beaten to death.
Some people are curious about what is the division of responsibilities between Tiangang Hall and Beichen Hall? That's it. When encountering such a big scene, it is characterized as an act against the Daomen, and it needs to be counter-insurgent, and that is Tiangangtang's departure. Putting aside the great real people, this operation was planned by Tiangang Hall and the Lingguan Mansion.
Therefore, when people from the Daomen handle cases, they always like to say: You are fighting against the Daofu, and at the worst, you are against the Daomen. The voice outside the words is that Tiangangtang is out of another nature. Beichen Hall is more about arresting people, and the result of Tiangang Tang's shot is life and death.
Again, Wu Luo's back is really Buddhism, this is a long time ago determined thing, but once again determined, although the original battle of Buddhism was the defeat of Buddhism, but the Taoism has not been able to completely eliminate Buddhism, Buddhism has retained considerable strength, not like Confucianism has been fully reduced to Taoism vassals, to this day, Buddhism is still a great instability factor.
This couldn't help but remind Qi Xuansu of the Buddha's attack in Borneo, although Xuansheng won the Buddha's master and beat the Buddha's master to pieces, but Xuansheng also paid a great price and finally soared ahead of schedule. The point is that the Buddha is still in the world, and the people in the Buddha not only want to resurrect the Buddha, but even want to control the Buddha, and now the Buddha seems to have controlled one of the Buddha's hands.
Under normal circumstances, as long as there are no problems with the Daomen themselves, the Buddhism Gate will not be able to make any big waves. Back then, you couldn't defeat the Daomen on the frontal battlefield, but now that the Daomen has made great progress, you can beat it? But the problem is that there is a high probability that Daomen will have some problems on its own. Several times Gu Immortals stirred up the wind and rain, and the Buddha Sect secretly plotted, it was all the Daomen's own internal problems, and Gu Immortals and other external forces seized the opportunity.
As long as there is an agreement within the Dao Gate, any Gu Immortal will give you the first death. The point is that many times the Daomen do not reach agreement.
Qi Xuansu had thought a long time ago that if he became a great master and could solve the stubborn disease of Buddhism, it would go down in history.
Qi Xuansu is not greedy for money, nor is he greedy for women, and when necessary, power can also be let go. But he is still a human being in the end, and he also has greed, and he is greedy for the name of eternity.
It's still the same old problem, of course, you can't be the emperor, but you have to give up the position of emperor in exchange for something, such as leaving a name in history. If you give up the position of emperor, and you still have a bad reputation, and you don't save the common people, but you are just free, it is somewhat problematic.
Qi Xuansu has not yet entered the Golden Gate and has not come into contact with these secrets, but Wu Niang, as a Taoist patriarch, knows far more things than Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu said: "Wu Niang, do you mean that these shadows are actually performing blood sacrifices?" ”
"Or else?" Wu Niang asked rhetorically, "Have you ever seen the living mouth?" ”
Qi Xuansu seriously thought back to the corpse he had seen in the Absolute Holy Hall, the internal organs had withered, only skin and bones remained, and the flesh and blood were gone, not to mention the living soul.
Wu Niang said: "The immortals who have mastered a similar war priesthood have strong resistance to karmic fire and are good at using blood sacrifices. And the immortals who have mastered the priesthood of death have another ability, that is, to transform flesh and blood into divine power. Previously, we have always said that Wu Luo has resistance to karmic fire, because Wu Luo was the last master of the Wu Sect, and he did start a war, but why did Si Ming Zhenjun go to Jinling Mansion to do it? Does he also have the ability to resist karmic fire? ”
Qi Xuansu combined with Wu Niang's successive words, and already understood: "Si Ming Zhenjun controls life and death, of course he has no ability to resist karmic fire, but he has the ability to transform flesh and blood into divine power, so it seems that they are all blood sacrifices, Wu Luo and Si Ming Zhenjun have completely different emphases, one eats the soul, and the other eats flesh and blood." So the two have been able to cooperate tacitly for so many years, and there has been no conflict of interest. ”
Wu Niang said: "That's right, they all say that there are three secret associations, but Ziguang Zhenjun is actually incompatible with the other two, she neither eats souls nor eats flesh and blood, so she relies on divination for others in exchange for divine power, and it is inevitable to part ways with them." ”
Qi Xuansu pondered for a moment and said: "Wu Niang, you also said just now that Kukulkan may have mastered the priesthood of the sun, storm, war, fear, and death, and the legend has publicly stated that Kukulkan prefers blood sacrifice like Wu Luo, which shows that Kukulkan can not only eat souls, but also eat flesh and blood, and go around, and this matter is still inseparable from Kukulkan. ”
Wu Niang said: "No, there are also immortals who can do this." ”
"Who?" Qi Xuansu immediately asked.
Wu Niang said: "You have already guessed before, Hell Apostle. ”
