Chapter 102: Problem Solving

The advantage of fewer people and fewer people is that it doesn't take much to express one's stance one by one and pass it one by one.

The god of war Urakan was a little hesitant, in the past, the god of war also enjoyed blood sacrifices, and the main source of sacrifice was prisoners of war, at that time, the various city-states fought against each other, and prisoners of war naturally flowed endlessly. Later, the Holy See swept through the various city-states, and the Western Daomen integrated the shattered Southern Continent into one, and without the infighting of the city-states, there was naturally no prisoners of war to speak of - Western prisoners of war were generally used to exchange prisoners of war with the Holy Court, and would not be used for blood sacrifices.

The believers of prisoners of war are mainly warriors, because of strong external pressure, warriors are strictly forbidden to sacrifice, in short, the sacrifice of the god of war is getting less and less, and it gradually helps him quit the addiction of blood sacrifice. He was also a member of the opposition to the blood sacrifice.

After the southern goddess Nohrak made a statement, the god of war, as an ally, no longer hesitated, and also said: "I agree." ”

In this way, three ancient gods have already agreed to the abolition of blood sacrifices, and according to the principle of the minority obeying the majority, there seems to be no need to discuss it.

However, the northern god of death, Apche, still wanted to struggle, and said: "The reason why the gods use blood sacrifices is because of the lack of divine power, if the blood sacrifice is stopped, then how to solve the problem of insufficient divine power?" ”

Iichchel said: "There is an allusion in the Central Plains called 'drinking a donkey to quench thirst', and I have said more than once before that it is extremely wrong to drink poisonous wine to quench thirst and use the wrong way to solve the immediate difficulties, regardless of the serious consequences. Every blood sacrifice will spawn karmic fire, and as for what kind of results karmic fire will cause, Kukulkan is not far away. Therefore, my attitude is clear, what I understand must be implemented, and what I do not understand will be deepened in the implementation. ”

Apche was also a little hesitant, not only because of Ichchel's resolute attitude, but also because he witnessed the tragic situation of Kukulkan being burned to death by karmic fire, which was really terrifying. It's just that blood sacrifices are addictive to the gods, and even addictive, which is very difficult to quit, even if you know the problem of karma, you still can't help but think about it.

The rain god Jayak is not as addicted as Apche, the reason why he participates in the blood sacrifice is because of tradition and divine power, as long as the problem of divine power is solved, he can also agree.

At this time, Yutai Zhenxiao spoke: "Regarding the problem of insufficient divine power, the West Daomen side can help solve the big head, and the rest will be solved by the gods themselves." ”

In fact, the West Gate is not a loss, Ichichel has just assigned the Sun Temple to the West Gate, which is the largest head in the temple, whether the West Gate continues to maintain the name of the Sun God, or changes to the Taoist Temple, you can get additional divine power. Xidaomen is now taking out this part of the divine power and redistributing it, although the divine power is given to the ancient gods, but the power of distribution is in the hands of Xidaomen, if you are obedient, you will give it, and if you are not obedient, you will not give it, and the meaning will be different.

As for the self-raised part of the ancient gods, it is easy to say that the overall number of believers has not changed, the number of ancient gods above has decreased, and other ancient gods can take the opportunity to expand the scale of believers and increase the input of divine power.

In this way, the problem of deficit cannot be said to be completely solved, and it has not had much impact.

The problem of divine power is essentially the same as the problem of more people and less land, there is too little land per capita, and there is not enough food to eat, so solve Kukulkan, the largest "landlord", and solve the Itsumner who wants to return to his hometown, take out their land and divide it, and the rest of the people will have enough to eat. Xidaomen got the title of the land, making the Old Gods their tenants.

Everyone takes what they need and has a bright future.

When the rain god Zayak heard the solution to this divine power problem, he no longer insisted on maintaining the blood sacrifice: "I agree. ”

Now only Apche is the god of death.

To be sure, the issue of human sacrifice is a relatively common one, and there has been a history of doing so in both China and abroad, although most of it has been abolished very early.

For example, on the issue of the burial of the living, there is a gradual process, from the burial of the living to the straw man, or the wooden or pottery figurines, and then to the complete abolition of this system, which is a process from barbarism to civilization.

The sage of science said: "The ancient burial person, Sokcho was thought to be a guard, and it was called a soul, which was slightly like a human form." It means that after the ancient people died, they would use grass to make the appearance of a guard, called a spirit, which was a bit like a human being. By analogy, dogs are livestock burial goods made of grass. Therefore, the "dog" in the sentence "Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs" is not a real dog.

This way of burial is before the appearance of terracotta figurines, and later with the development of productive forces, some people refined pottery products into the shape of human beings, eyebrows, eyes, heads, and arms are not like human beings, which is not slightly similar to human form, and the person who does this is the initiator in the mouth of the holy master of Confucianism.

Whatever the purpose, this person has indeed brought the matter of "human" burial back to the stage of history, even if this "person" is only a clay product. This is undoubtedly a kind of regression of civilization, and this behavior directly angered the strong opposition of Confucianism, which advocated "benevolence" at that time.

This gives a glimpse of the development of the Central Plains in abolishing the custom of sacrificing and burying the living.

However, on the southern continent, the span of time, the scale is large, and the influence is deep, far exceeding the Central Plains. It has developed to the point of becoming a system and a system, with many names and various ways, and even developed into cannibalism - the reason is very simple, the offerings used by the Central Plains people to worship their ancestors will not be thrown away, but eaten afterwards. Then the people of the Southern Continent eat the "offerings" sacrificed to the gods, which is also the same internal logic.

It's just that something is wrong with the sacrifice, and the sacrifice shouldn't be human.

Many people have seen this problem and want to solve it, but they just lack the right opportunity. Now the opportunity has finally arrived.

Every time the dynasty changes, the power is reshuffled, and the original vested interests are scattered, disrupted, or even eliminated, this time is a God-given opportunity to solve all kinds of shortcomings.

Ichchel saw it very clearly and thought very clearly, so as soon as Kukulkan was eliminated, he resolutely abolished the issue of blood sacrifices.

The god of death, Apche, also understands that he is powerless to oppose now, four of the five gods have agreed, and he has become a very few, not to mention that there is also a platform next to him, once there is a conflict, Ichichel is determined to execute him, it is completely possible.

Ikhchel may consider the balance of power within the Divine Court, as well as the balance between the Divine Court and the Western Daomen, but Apeche believes that Ichichel also has the courage to kill another god, so not only will the stumbling block be removed, but also the power will be established, and the problem of divine power will be basically solved, and there will even be a lot of surplus.

In the end, Ichichel really didn't lie to Qi Xuansu, she hoped to take the path of another Moon Taiyin True Monarch and strive for early transcendence, as for whether the Divine Court was strong, she didn't care very much, and naturally she wouldn't have to consider the autonomy of the Divine Court like Kukulkan, and she wouldn't have too many worries about weakening the Divine Court.

Apche could see it clearly, so he couldn't help but think about it.

At this time, the hard top is very unwise.

In the end, Apche chose to back down: "I agree. ”

Ichichel nodded slightly: "Okay, all agree, from now on, the blood sacrifice will be completely abolished." ”

She looked at Zhenxiao and Qi Xuansu again: "Regarding the abolition of the blood sacrifice, we still need the cooperation of the West Daomen." ”

"It's nature." Yutai Zhenxiao directly agreed.

The first meeting of the Divine Court was successfully concluded, the gods left separately and returned to their own kingdom of God, and the real people of Tantai returned to the Xiu Mountain, and Ichichel walked at the end: "Qi Zhenren, please wait a while." ”

Qi Xuansu stopped: "Queen of the Moon, what else is going on?" ”

Ichichel stepped down from the golden platform, came to Qi Xuansu's side, and said, "I want to discuss the problem of worm people with Qi Zhenren. ”

Qi Xuansu has two wishes, one is to abolish the blood sacrifice, and the other is to eliminate the insect people.

Now that Ichichel has begun to push for the abolition of the blood sacrifice, all that remains is to exterminate the Worms.

Even if Ichichel doesn't mention it, Qi Xuansu has to find a suitable opportunity to talk to Ichichel about this issue. Now that Ihichel has taken the initiative to talk, where will Qi Xuansu refuse.

Although Ichichel has become the main god, she still respects Qi Xuansu very much and does not put on a high posture.

Strictly speaking, Ichchel does not respect Qi Xuansu or Qi Xuansu's status, but respects a possible future.

Donghua Zhenren has made the big palm teaching, and Qi Xuansu is the small palm teaching. Even if Donghua Zhenren fails to become the Great Palm Sect, Qi Xuansu himself has the possibility of becoming the Great Palm Sect.

Either way, it means that Qi Xuansu can influence Daomen's decision-making in the future. This is like the old saying, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty.

Although Qi Xuansu is no longer a teenager, he is still in the category of young people after all, and his future is immeasurable in all senses.

Since Ichichel has decided to follow the old path of Taiyin Zhenjun, he must have a good relationship with Daomen. Most of the things that can help her get rid of it will not be the West Gate, but the Road Gate.

Qi Xuansu also understands this truth, so he is afraid but not afraid of Ichchel, after all, it is you who ask me.

Ichichel pulls out the previous worm pendant, but the pendant has lost all its luster and is dead.

Qi Xuansu asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Ihichel explained: "As I said earlier, the pact with the Worm was signed by Itsumner as the sun god, and after Itsumna's first death, Kukulkan inherited the Sun Priesthood, so this contract can still be maintained, and now It-Sumner and Kukulkan are both dead, and I have not inherited the Sun Priesthood, so this contract cannot be maintained." ”

Qi Xuansu said: "In other words, Your Majesty can't control the insect people now. ”

Ichchel smiled: "There are always two sides to everything, and since the contract has ended, then there is no need for me to protect the insects anymore." ”

Qi Xuansu still doesn't understand, the insect man is a rag, and you can throw it away when you run out.

"I hope that Your Majesty can help me solve the problems related to the Bugmen, after all, Your Majesty has cooperated with the Bugmen for many years, even if you can't control the Bugmen now, you should be familiar with the various habits of the Bugmen." Qi Xuansu put forward his own request.

Ichchel agreed: "I will arrange for Utu to cooperate with Qi Zhenren." ”
