Chapter 354: Heavenly Demons Refining Gods, Legal System (5k)

About an hour later, the Mayan civilization in the middle of the Americas, the Tikal Dynasty at its peak, ushered in a distinguished guest who had been here for more than 400 years since the last time.

The branch hall of the God of War Temple, naturally not only in the Central Plains, but also in Europe, Africa, and the Americas, there are many of them, the height and width are twenty zhang, and the luminous gems on the top of the temple contain a lot of information about the prophecy of the end of the world, and exude a mysterious light that promotes the warrior to comprehend the Tao.

Within the scope of the Mayan civilization, there happened to be one of the stone temples, which was discovered by the ancient Mayan priests, who built the largest pyramid temple in their history, and began to worship the sun and other gods, and developed many strange customs.

For example, the Mayan aristocracy, in order to represent a status beyond the common people, used cross-eyed, flat foreheads, and deformed skulls as signs of beauty or nobility, and used plastic surgery to transform infants and adults to look like aliens, as if to indicate that they were demigods beyond mortals.

In addition to expressing his desire to become an alien higher race, the murals of the Mayan temple also depict many imaginary alien scenes, and constantly prophesy about them, in general, it is a group settlement of Adventist surrenders.

At the beginning, the Heavenly Demon Cangxuan fought with the Han Dynasty government alone for decades, and grew from a teenager who had studied with Taoist masters, joined the Mo family halfway and was forced to quit to the top master in the world, and realized that his own ideas were intolerable to the Han Dynasty after all;

After seeing the death of the older generation of Confucian masters and court officials who had been-for-tat with him, the new generation still did not have the slightest intention of compromise, and Cangxuan, who was originally cynical and intended to achieve reform, did not try to oppress the other party with the advantage of force, but chose to give up.

After faking his death and leaving his inheritance in the tomb, Cang Xuan left the Central Plains region in frustration, drifted across the ocean, and came to the Americas thousands of miles away and discovered the civilized country here.

Since the Han Dynasty could not implement my radical doctrine, I would like to go elsewhere to develop and experiment in this place separated by the vast ocean, whether it is prosperity and surpassing the Han Dynasty, or if something happens, it will not bring disaster to the Central Plains.

As for the Roman Empire in Europe, it could reach the border of the Han Dynasty by land, and its own strength was not bad, if it made a mistake, it might have an adverse impact on the Central Plains, which he did not take.

With this in mind, Cang Xuan irresponsibly spread many different doctrines among several major civilizations in the Americas, trying to educate the local people, but found that the human beings here are too ignorant and strange, and the excellent environment has developed into such a backward situation.

Before that, he had never imagined that there would be such a large country with a history of thousands of years, and it was inconceivable that there were no metal tools, no cattle and horses, and no wheels, bows and arrows could be invented, so he realized the limitations of his cognition.

After gaining insight into the origins of the strange customs and perverted beliefs of the Mayans, Cangxuan secretly infiltrated the original pyramid temple under the heavy guard of priests and warriors, and discovered the ancient stone temple buried under the temple, and thus learned about the existence of the apocalypse.

After taking this opportunity to find the Temple of the God of War and get more information from Guangchengzi, Cang Xuan suddenly noticed that the Mayan culture seemed to have various similarities with the Kuixing people, and they were good at astronomy and divination and prophecy, which may be used as a primitive sample for studying the way of thinking of various classes of the Kuixing civilization.

Although the understanding of the Kuixing people is only the tip of the iceberg, by establishing models to carry out targeted social research, we can also learn more information and understand the enemy's ideology and culture more thoroughly.

In the process of conducting sociological research, the Heavenly Demon Cangxuan incarnated into the sun god himself descending from the distant starry sky in the eyes of the Mayan nobles by creating various visions and revealing magical martial arts that far exceeded the limits of the imagination of the locals, and completely obeyed his instructions to carry out various rectifications.

Combining Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism theories on spiritual ideas, and incorporating the contents of the corresponding textbooks in the memories of the Kuixing explorers, Cangxuan made the central gem of the branch hall into a "god-given crystal skull" recognized by Mayan priests, and made the locals worship it for this purpose.

In order to ensure that his experiments could continue for a long time, he specially supported Tikal, a city-state that mainly believed in the sun god and not other gods, until he was close to the end of his life of 300 years by the time of Tempest Sky I, and then returned to the Temple of the God of War to retreat and cultivate the "Broken Kong" that could transcend the shackles of the human body.

……

Under the sapphire sky, around the monumental plaza of Tikal, pyramids rise from the ground to pierce the dense web of forests, and they shine in the brilliant tropical sun.

Sixty or seventy pyramids of various sizes are dotted here, and beside it stand a beautiful royal palace with reliefs and a thriving market surrounded by colonnades, and a stone avenue rising above the ground that connects the pyramidal temples in the city......

The city of Tikal is surrounded by lush cornfields dotted with other crops such as peppers, pumpkins, cotton, cocoa beans and agave, as well as fallow land.

Inside the cornfield, you can see a group of tattooed, pigtailed farmers, working shirtless with stone tools, and a few patrolling warriors with stone spears on the side, generally looking very primitive and backward, in the category of the Stone Age.

When the primordial god manifested by Cangxuan transformed into the form of the Mayan sun god and appeared from the altar at the top of the temple, King Bagar II, who had just ascended the throne less than half a foot, received the news of the arrival of the gods, and couldn't help but ecstatic and took a few doses of psychedelic poison~ products.

Soon, in the midst of all the attention, the Mayan king, who claimed to be a descendant of the sun god, walked along the dizzying stone steps step by step to the temple at the top of the pyramid, as if slowly rising into the sky, and in the temple he mutilated himself and bled into a state of mental trance, and began the process of "channeling".

Disgusted by this kind of perverted belief that even the king has to masochize and self-harm, but because it is not good to interfere too much to affect the credibility of the incarnation of the gods, when he saw the scene of the Mayan king going crazy after taking ~ drugs, he only took two steps back, picked up the crystal skull that had been enshrined for hundreds of years, and began to retrieve the various messy spiritual imprints accumulated in it.

Relying on the special effects of the branch hall gem and Cangxuan's self-created "Heavenly Demon Alchemy", this crystal stone stored the divination results of countless Mayan priests who believed in the sun god for hundreds of years, and there was no doubt that most of them were meaningless invalid information, but there was indeed a very small amount of information that caught Cangxuan's attention.

Focusing on a dozen strings of hundreds of symbols, Cang Xuan couldn't help but show some surprise in the process of interpreting the translation, so in his preliminary judgment, these divination results were suspiciously logical mathematical formulas, and far more advanced than the level of Mayan civilization.

"Sure enough, the corn people have been enlightened by the stone hall, and they can barely be regarded as an effective divination culture, can they directly divinate theories and calculation formulas about the development of science? By extension, it can also play a role in the difficult problems of spiritual practice. ”

"If you are omniscient, you are omnipotent. The Kuixing people, who have long demystified divination and are not linked to the belief in gods like the corn people, may have a much more advanced scientific and technological and spiritual theory at the top than those known by the middle and lower classes? ”

Finally verifying an important conjecture of his own Kuixing civilization, Cang Xuan thought in his heart, speculating that the Kuixing explorers thought that it was a myth and legend, and that the statement that several great prophets in ancient times sacrificed themselves to jointly divinate the "Unified Theory of Vitality" is indeed very likely to be true.

Thinking about whether the earthlings could also try to speed up their development in this way, Cang Xuan kicked the Mayan King who was foaming at the mouth and leaned over to the ground, casually used the small immortal technique learned from Guang Chengzi to heal the other party's disability, and then gathered the entire Yuan Shen and dived into the crystal gem.

In an instant, the normal world disappeared and became a strange space that was difficult to demarcate, full of soft brilliance, which was not static, but changed from red to purple along the spectrum, and back in reverse order, making people feel unbelievably strange and beautiful.

The infinite dots of light are both a natural evolution of the changing laws of light and darkness, and a light represented by the spiritual connections of millions of Mayans, each of which is faintly connected, but still quite impressive on the whole, and has a strange resonance due to the unity of faith.

Embedding the primordial spirit in the very center of the light and dark space, it turned into a flame glowing with white light in the darkness, releasing a majestic spiritual attraction, and the surrounding rays of light spontaneously approached and adhered to the ball of light, and then gradually became pure white when infected.

At the moment when several coarser rays of light entered the central ball of light, on the steps of the pyramid outside, a group of unkempt and blue-clad prisoners of war were being escorted by Mayan warriors to the door of the temple, which should have been slaughtered by the priest's sword to please the gods;

But as if instructed by the gods, the high-ranking priest immediately stopped the cruel sacrifice against custom, and looked at the individual prisoners as if they were close friends, untied them and embraced each other.

……

It took hundreds of years to make the layout, and Cangxuan naturally did not just test a conjecture about divination, but prepared to carry out a more ambitious spiritual experiment, leaving an indelible imprint in the hearts of tens of millions of Mayans with the incarnation of heavenly demons, and then gathering the thoughts of countless people to refine a spiritual deity equivalent to collective consciousness.

Under the control of the consciousness of this "sun god", "one is ten thousand, ten thousand is one", each Maya is like a cell of the gods, there is no longer an individualized free consciousness, and together they form a giant advanced life, far beyond the limit of mortals in the spiritual level.

In a sense, since all Maya people will become the descendants of the "sun god", the Mayan nobles and commoners will no longer be distinguished from high and low, and will be completely equal in all aspects, realizing the political ideals of the Mohists such as "love and love" and "Shangtong", and can make the operation of the country to the most efficient state.

If a single Maya is no longer regarded as a complete life, then the entire Mayan civilization may also lose the characteristics of ordinary mortals who are easy to be predicted by divination, and become a special existence like a high-ranking monk with a certain anti-divination effect, making many of the methods of the Kuixing prophet useless.

Moshi believes that in order to save the world, from giants to ordinary disciples, they must go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, "love the world at the same time, put their heels on the top, and benefit the world."

In the highest good, people only face the gods of justice and the absolute sovereign who holds the highest justice in the world, so that "love is not equal", and love for parents should be equal to love for passers-by, and vice versa.

In order to pursue the highest justice and ultimate happiness, the giants can all be sacrificed, and the elite team of the ink can all be sacrificed, let alone others?

According to the speculation of the Heavenly Demon Cangxuan, with the cultural form of the Kuixing civilization, their wartime system in the face of an existential crisis is most likely similar to the state of sacrificial autocracy established by the sages of the Mohist "Shangtong", so as to maximize the power of the entire civilization as one.

Through the means of mystical spiritual manipulation, the Gestalt consciousness civilization was initially established, and then the scientific knowledge literacy and spiritual cultivation of individual members within the civilization were gradually improved, so as to make a huge leap in the level of civilization as a whole.

Since the Mayans are only connected by faith at most, and the level of integration of individual consciousness is only at a preliminary level, in the opinion of the Heavenly Demon Cangxuan, it should be further strengthened in some way, and an experimental layout has been set up in the Central Plains.

He did not expect the backward Mayan civilization to make any contribution to defending itself against foreign enemies in the future, and he did not consider the problem of finishing in this series of experiments, but only regarded it as a control group for the development of the Central Plains civilization and an early rehearsal of the follow-up grand plan, and he didn't care much about what it turned out to be.

Objectively examining what he has done, Cangxuan has also experienced the state of mind of a higher civilization in looking at backward civilizations, and has understood many new concepts in sociology.

After spending some time rectifying the Mayan city-states, Cang Xuan naturally did not stay here, but would return to the Central Plains to investigate the development status there, and learn about Zhao Qing, the only person who has greatly improved the potential of civilization for more than a thousand years.

……

About a month and a half later, the Da'an Dynasty, which had recruited a number of rebel armies and basically recovered the north, did not enter a state of "rest and recuperation", but on the contrary, immediately formed a Northern Expedition against the Eastern Turks, intending to eliminate this scourge that had long been entrenched in the grasslands and plundering the border.

The recent earthquake seemed to be a bad omen and would have had a negative impact on Angola, but many scholars have confirmed that it happened in the border area between the East and West Turks, which shows that the Turks are no longer recognized by Heaven and should go to seek punishment according to Heavenly Principles.

After learning of the crisis of invasion by extraterrestrial civilizations, Zhao Qing did not interfere with the original plan to pacify the Turks, but paid more attention to it, and prepared to take out a group of elites from the soldiers who performed well in this Northern Expedition and had a reliable background, and gradually let them know the news.

At the same time, in order to lighten the complicated burden of government affairs and speed up the reform and banning the monopoly of official positions by high-ranking lords, she successively issued tens of thousands of new bills with detailed provisions to the three provinces and six ministries, stipulating the rules and regulations for various acts in recent years.

In particular, in view of the laws of great significance, the "Daxing Law" in the "Daxing Law" was immediately abolished, and the harsh punishments such as car splitting and shackling were immediately abolished, referring to the "Kaihuang Law" written by Gao Gong and others in the Sui Dynasty, and according to the former's concept of "the criminal network is concise, negligent but not lost" and "lenient legislation, prudent judgment of the death penalty", the 12 categories of names, guards, prohibitions, job systems, household marriages, stables, unauthorized reconstruction, thieves, lawsuits, fraud, miscellaneous, arrest, and prison breaks, and strictly restricted the privileges of the bureaucratic and aristocratic class, and abandoned the essence of the feudal law of "the law comes from the king". It was summarized into a new "First Edition of the Anguo Legal System" with 500 articles.

In order to ensure the uniformity of the application of the law, so that law enforcement officials can understand the precise meaning of each article, subdivide the differences between crimes, and give full play to the effectiveness of the law, Zhao Qing explained the entire "Legal System" article by clause and sentence by sentence, and wrote the "Discussion of Negligence" with hundreds of times the words of the former.

It should be noted that whether it is the first version of the "Anguo Legal System" or other various bills, although it has established an all-round normative legal system in every detail, and has given detailed guidance on the next work items of various departments, they are all clearly marked and are only temporary in nature.

After all, in Zhao Qing's view, even if the bills are well designed, they may be able to reach a near-perfect level now, but there is no guarantee that they will still play the best role in the ever-changing future, and there needs to be a certain amount of leeway to keep pace with the times.

In addition, in the name of benevolence, ancient emperors often issued orders to amnesty the world and pardon a group of criminals who did not commit the ten evils when the emperor ascended the throne, changed the name of the era, established empresses, established princes, etc., or encountered major natural disasters.

Especially when the new emperor ascended the throne, it had become a common practice.

For example, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, although he changed the "Kaihuang Law", which was not bad, beyond recognition and turned it into the "Daxing Law" that brutally suppressed the people, he often granted amnesty to the world to show "benevolent government" and "rule by virtue".

However, this kind of pardon, which seems to be effective in exonerating many wronged people and buying the hearts of the people, is not a good thing in Zhao Qing's eyes, benefiting the guilty and not compensating the victims, and even undermining the authority of the law, which is completely irresponsible and a negative measure that causes social unrest.

At a time when the world is peaceful and the people are well-being, the "amnesty of the world" gives people a chance to turn over a new leaf, and the disadvantages seem to be almost few, but when it comes to troubled times, it is actually an evil act of aiding and abetting and mutilating good people.

Therefore, at the beginning of the establishment of the new dynasty, she did not grant amnesty to the world according to the old practice, but only ordered that in the near future, the people who committed crimes in the world should be given a chance to surrender themselves and reduce their sentences, and requested that all past cases in various places be summarized and reported, and the number of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases should be re-verified.

Recently, Zhao Qing immediately produced hundreds of simple magnetic powder recorders that only had the ability to record and could not be replayed, and ordered them to be sent to various counties and counties to collect information as her eyes and ears, and play a role in supervision, so that the criminals could record confessions in them, and then recover the information carried by the magnetic powder by her.

By testing the rhetoric, emotion, and tone of officials and prisoners in this way, Zhao Qing is confident that he can remotely investigate ninety percent of the unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, and mark out the remaining doubtful parts for people to be sent to Beijing for retrial, so that the level of rule of law in the world has been greatly improved.

As for the imperial examination system for selecting talents from all over the world, it is still in the stage of preliminary preparations, and it is very difficult to establish an effective form within a year or two.

All in all, all matters in the country are running in an orderly manner as she expected, and Zhao Qing has gradually relieved herself of the burden of government affairs, has more free time, and has obtained a number of the latest achievements of the institute during this period.

In addition to the more conventional research on demonic energy cultivation, material development, weapon upgrades, etc., she also got some inspiration from the jade fragment of the alien spaceship, and tried to develop a new material with characteristics that can be adjusted based on the most common water ice.

The ability to condense water vapor into a high-strength ice sword at any time has always been a means that Zhao Qing often uses in battle, and now, she hopes to sublimate ordinary ice crystals into higher-end materials, such as spiritual materials such as Xuan Bing.

It is worth mentioning that it seems that in order to cooperate with the actions of the demon spirit in the Great Wilderness Mountain, Zhao Qing got the information that on the same night that the evil spirit was ambushed, the "evil king" Shi Zhixuan secretly infiltrated the Yumeng Mountain near the Tiger Leaping Gorge in southern Sichuan, that is, the station of Cihang Jingzhai, and seized the urn of Bixiuxin and the golden body of Dini here, and I don't know what he wanted to do.

Speaking of which, after a month and a half of excavation in the northwest desert with his mentally disabled men, Xiang Yutian had already excavated and sent the five quarries buried thousands of feet underground, but because there were too many burial goods at the tomb of the Great Khan, he is still supervising the work there.
