Volume 1 The Search for a Thousand Years Chapter 41 The Priestly Tune

Thinking back to today's sacrificial scene, I began to imagine my own romanticism: since the great priest is in charge of people's life and death, he is like a judge next to the king of Hades. Therefore, as soon as the god appeared in the Great Priest's order, the style and atmosphere were different, and the tone was solemn and solemn: the gate of the Heavenly Palace was wide open, the feet were on the clouds, the whirlwind opened the way, and the torrential rain cleared the street, and the Great Priest landed in the middle of the witches who presided over the sacrifice.

Such a god, whose form is naturally dignified and majestic, feels that he has great power over the life and death of all living beings, and even seems to have a bit of pride: All living beings, why is birth, old age, sickness and death all in my hands! One yin, one yang, one death, one life, people don't know, it's all up to me.

This sacrificial poem, which has been sung to this day, is slowly revealed in Qu Yuan's pen:

Open the gate of heaven widely, and take advantage of the clouds.

Let the wind blow the pioneers, and make the rain sprinkle dust.

Jun Hui Xiang Xi, over the air mulberry from the woman.

The total number of people in Kyushu, He Shou is dying.

Fly high and soar, and take the clear air to resist yin and yang.

I am at the same speed as Junxi, and I guide the emperor's nine pits.

The spirit clothes were quilted, and the jade was separated.

One yin and one yang, everyone doesn't know what to do.

If you break the sparse and sparse Yaohua, you will leave your home.

The old man is extreme, and the closer he is, the more sparse he is.

Ride the dragon and gallop into the sky.

The knots and laurel branches are extended, and the more Qiang thinks about it.

Sad, I hope that there will be no loss today.

Solid people's lives are deserved, which can be done?

Completed the part of the great priest's life, and then took advantage of the burst of inspiration to think like a spring.

If you think about it carefully, there are many mysteries hidden in the words of the great priest: Shoutian is in his hands, why do you use rhetorical questions? What is it that he is not sure of, or that he wants to say? Moreover, everyone knew that life and death were in the hands of his old man, otherwise he would not have sacrificed him with great fanfare, but why did he say that everyone did not know that he did it? Let's put these questions aside and see what the Lord thinks on behalf of humanity in dialogue with God

After inspecting the circle angrily, the chief priest was ready to drive back to the heavenly palace, and the lord witch respectfully bid farewell, but also revealed the true idea of worshipping the gods: I am already entering the new year, and it will be too late to get close to the gods, and the gods will be alienated from me. Of course, the consequences of this can be imagined: what do you want to do if you offend the god who is in charge of life and death? In this way, it reveals the real and secret relationship between people and this god: people do not like this god in their hearts, but only for utilitarian purposes, and cannot afford to offend, just like the ideal country says that the old man's piety to God is unreliable, but he is afraid of being punished after death, and besides, although there is no good fruit to eat if he is offended, then if he is close to him, there will definitely be good fruit, and can he prolong his life? Not necessarily, the complex psychology of the main witch after seeing the great priest leave in the last paragraph reflects this suspicion and helplessness. After the sacrifice was over, the god sent it away, and it was said that he should be happy and relieved, but the more he thought about it, the more worried he became, but what was the sorrow

At the same time, if the Great Priest's life is not enough to support people's beliefs, then what is this other set of things that support them? At this time, the other god appeared in the young master's life, and the whole tone was completely different, full of joy

Joy and warmth.

At first, it was the witch who sacrificed the young priest's life and began to comfort the god: People in the world will have beautiful children, what are you worried about? Moreover, people's affection for this God goes completely beyond reverence to the level of love.

However, the most profound thing is probably the two sentences of Shao Si Ming: the saddest thing in life is to be separated, and the happiest thing in life is to meet new acquaintances.

On the surface, this god is sighing for the newly made human friends, but in fact, he explains why human beings like her and don't like Da Si Ming, because people are always painful to live and die, and they are always happy to welcome new life into the world, but human death is often mysterious and unpredictable, just like it is human nature for friends who say goodbye without saying a word to avoid life and death, and to avoid happiness and suffering, and it is this nature that determines people's closeness to her Shao Si Ming and their alienation from Da Si Ming. In this way, it is not that people are worried about the lack of good children, as people think, but that the real source of their suffering is that human beings have a selective affinity with God.

A young master is completed:

Qiulan Xi elk, Luo Shengxi hall.

The green leaves are blooming, and the fragrant flowers are attacking.

Mrs. has her own beautiful child, so why is she sad?

The autumn orchid is green, and the green leaves are purple stems.

The house is full of beauties, and suddenly Du and Yu Xi are in the eyes.

Entering without saying a word, riding back to the wind to carry the cloud flag.

Sadness and sadness are parting, and happiness is new to each other.

The lotus clothes are belted, and they come and go suddenly.

Staying in the suburbs of the emperor, who must be in the clouds?

With the female Mu Xi salty pool, the Xi woman is the sun.

Looking at the beauty of the future, the wind is singing.

The hole cover is green, and the comet is caressed for nine days.

The long sword embraces the young Ai, and the sun is the only one who is right

The courtyard is full of autumn orchids, and the green leaves are fragrant.

Everyone has their own son, why worry, Qiulan is green and purple.

The beauties are full of love, and they are speechless in and out of the wind and clouds.

Sadness is not new, and the lotus clothes are fleeting.

On the occasion of staying in the suburbs of the emperor at night, dry with Mu Xianchi.

The beauty of the future is singing in the wind, and Kong Gai Cui caresses the comet.

After the sacrifice is over, Shao Si Ming is also going back, the people who love her are reluctant to give up, and their souls are lost, which is completely different from the cunning mixed with helpless complicated feelings after Da Si Ming left, and they even shouted: Only Shao Si Ming You are worthy of being the master of mankind! Then we can understand why the two gods were sacrificed separately and not together.

In people's hearts, these two are not immortals at all. One is not like but can't afford to offend, the other is really like, can't wait to get a brother every day, behind this can be a glimpse of the consistent attitude of the brothers and Chinese towards life and death, no heirs: life and death are too illusory, even if they are valued, they are also hanging cold and ignored: only the continuation of the heirs is the most real, this is the ultimate magic weapon for people to fight death and continue life.

And this attitude towards human beings, the final mystery can be glimpsed from the "sorrow" of Shao Si Ming, and in the inadvertent sentence of Da Si Ming, "One Xi and one Yang, everyone knows what Yu does", this god sighed: One yin will have a yang, one death will have a lifetime, I am in charge of all this, unbiased, seamless, how can these human beings know!

In other words, God's definite number of life and death is not that the longer life is born and the later the better, but that it has its own trajectory, and people only choose their intimacy with God according to their likes and dislikes, sometimes infinitely melancholy, sometimes infinite love, these feelings are all self-seeking troubles, from here we can also suddenly realize: the two gods who are forcibly divided into life and death and heirs by human beings are originally no different, there is death in life, and life in death is just one thing

(The ancestors' worship of nature is mainly manifested in the worship of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, wind, rain, thunder and lightning.) The gods sacrificed in "Nine Songs" can be divided into "heavenly gods", "earthly gods" and "human ghosts". Five gods: Donghuang Taiyi, Yunzhongjun, Dongjun, Taisiming and Shaosiming; There are four people on the ground: Xiang Jun, Xiang Lady, Hebo and Mountain Ghost, and the human ghost is the soldier who died for the country in "National Martyrdom".

The male is called a witch, and the female is called a witch, but it is commonly called a witch. Wu was not only engaged in religious activities, but also had a wealth of scientific and cultural knowledge, participated in political activities, and some were themselves doctors of the imperial court. The biggest witch during the reign of King Chu Zhao was his father, and he was also a doctor who participated in political affairs. He made a lot of good regulations on the sacrifices of the Chu State, and made many sacrificial measures that were conducive to social development. )
