Chapter 650: The Witch Who Dances to the Gods; Conquest does not have to be by force
This day pool is by no means unusual.
I'm afraid that the record of the True Monarch Temple is not exhaustive.
Witch.
I wish also, women can do things invisible, and those who dance to the gods are also
Among the ancient people, those who can dance to the gods are called witches.
And the gods in this are not the "gods" of the heavenly court, but generally refer to the aura of heaven and earth that pervades the Three Realms, such as their ability to manipulate the power of the five elements, wind, rain, thunder and lightning through witchcraft. Wait a minute.
There are also some witches who can also borrow the power of their ancestors through witchcraft, but such witches, compared to those witches who exceed the power of heaven and earth, have a certain upper limit of banning, because the power he borrows is usually impossible to surpass the power of their bloodline ancestors.
On the other hand, this can be regarded as a kind of inheritance of the power of the human race.
It's just that the inheritance of the power of the bloodline is very different.
Just like the Tianchi witch of Changbai Mountain, as a descendant of the winter god Xuanming, the reason why she was able to become a witch was because she was able to use the power of the ancestor Winter God Xuanming, but because the winter god Xuanming was sacrificed to fight against the extraterritorial heavenly demons in the Xuandu City, the power she could use was weakened day by day, until it completely subsided.
But this does not mean that the Tianchi witch has lost her power as a witch, Xuan Ming is the winter god of the human race, the god of the north, and belongs to the water Zheng, so this Tianchi witch is able to use the power of the ancestor Xuan Ming to form a contract with the power of the water in the Three Realms, and then overtake it through her own witchcraft.
It's just that this tricky method is naturally much worse than those witches who rely on their own power to connect heaven and earth.
Xuan Ming is a great witch who manipulates the power of heaven and earth by herself, and the reason why she is the winter god is because her perception of the power of heaven and earth is no longer as simple as manipulation, it should be regarded as a realm that controls the power of ice.
In addition to Xuan Ming, such as Gonggong and Zhurong, they are the witches who control the power of water and fire respectively, so they are called the gods of water and fire.
The ancient people prayed for rain, and basically invited the sorcerers in the clan to open the altar.
However, there are very few human races with the talent of practicing "witchcraft", so witches generally only exist in medium and large tribes, and some small tribes can only pray for blessings to the dragon king and the god of water.
The ancient people dared to smash those ineffective Dragon King Temples, and their confidence also came from "witches".
But in fact, the witches who can support a rainfall, even if you look at the entire human race, are very rare. And at that time, there was actually no peace between witches and human kings.
There are some open and secret battles between the two sides, especially when Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and Jiuli Chiyou compete for the position of human king, the contradiction between the two sides has risen to the peak.
The reason why there is a contradiction between man and witch.
It is because the king of men has discovered that the witch will continue to assimilate with the power of heaven and earth in his own hands. From a witch to a god, although it is only from a personality to a godhead, this is the beginning of assimilation by the power of heaven and earth, with the deepening of the perception of the power of heaven and earth, these "witch gods" will gradually lose their self-consciousness, completely become one with the power of heaven and earth, and become the nutrients of the power of heaven and earth.
But of course, the witch gods themselves would not think so, they would think that the human kings were afraid of their power, and they were afraid that they would take away the human king's dominance over the human race.
Of course, in fact, the witch gods do have such thoughts, just like the water gods work together. After he was truly able to control the power of water, he thought that it would be more appropriate for him to be the king of men and lead the human race to dominate the Three Realms.
This is also why, as the emperor of Shuide, as the witch god who assists him as Shuizheng, is the winter god Xuanming, not the water god.
Gonggong is by no means a safe place in the Three Realms, fighting with the fire god Zhurong, competing for the throne with Emperor Zhuan, obstructing Dayu's water control and so on. But as Emperor Yan's Hou Yi, he did not fall into the name of the human race.
When Xuandu City was first built, he and Zhu Rong were the Dinghai Divine Needle of Xuandu City. There are dozens of demon lords who died in the hands of the two of them, and it is precisely because of their protection that Xuandu City can be successfully built, and those latecomers in Xuandu City can gradually grow up.
And in a great battle before the Great Tribulation of the Gods, Gonggong and Zhu Rong performed the same method of death, hurting the origin and almost falling. It was still the Xuandu Grand Master who made a timely move, and used the Taiji diagram of Taiqing Laozi to forcibly protect the true spirits of the two of them and send them to the Three Realms for cultivation.
If ordinary beings in the Three Realms were so seriously injured in the chaos, it would be almost impossible for them to survive, and these witch gods had a glimmer of life because they were like one with the power of heaven and earth in the Three Realms.
But not all witch gods can grasp it, Xuan Ming, Ju Mang, and Bei Shu, the three human kings and auxiliary ministers of the year, have been sacrificed and fallen in the chaos.
What the human kings can realize, the Xuandu Archmage can naturally see that when the Xuandu City was established, the Xuandu Archmage brought those witch gods and great witches to the Xuandu City after King Yu ascended to the Huoyun Cave to resist the extraterritorial heavenly demons.
Of course, it is also indispensable for the warriors of the human race who have cultivated to the peak of the power of the bloodline, although there will be some conceptual disputes between the two sides, but now that they are united with the outside world, those insignificant contradictions in the family are naturally not mentioned.
The two sides cooperated tacitly, and soon stood on their heels in the chaos.
So far, there are still the banners of witch gods such as "Gonggong" and "Zhurong" in Xuandu City, because although these witch gods have suffered many casualties, their descendants and tribes have continuously entered Xuandu City, inherited the will of their ancestors, and swore to fight to the death against the invasion of extraterritorial heavenly demons.
That is, the Zhurong clan and the Gonggong clan, the two major tribes under the Yandi tribe, plus the two of them are very active in the Three Realms, so the people are prosperous, otherwise it is impossible to compete for the position of human king.
It seems that the Xuanming, Jumang and other tribes died out in the long river of history early.
But in fact, as the ancestors of the human race, in fact, among the human race in later generations, their blood also flows, but they are collectively called Yan Huang, after all, these witch gods themselves are also inherited from Yan Huang.
Bajie followed the master westward, which can be regarded as well-informed.
But it is true that I have never dealt with "Wu", and the reason for this is actually very simple. Because "Wu" has long declined among the human race, even in today's Tang Dynasty, it is rare.
But they are basically distributed in the Yangtze River basin in the south, as well as the Sichuan-Shu Mountains, Xiangxi and other places, and with the development of the times, they all have their own regional characteristics.
In addition, shamanism on the grassland is also derived from "witch".
A large part of the reason why the nomads repeatedly invaded the Central Plains is probably the continuation of the struggle between the "witch god" and the "human king" in ancient times, and the two sides won and lost each other.
In the Changbai Mountain, of course, there is also their own shamanic culture.
Bajie has not been in Changbai Mountain for a long time, but I have also heard such a rumor, it is said that after the fall of the "heroes" and great shamans of various tribes in Changbai Mountain, their souls will not go to the underworld to be reincarnated, because Changbai Mountain is the place where the souls of the great shaman and tribal heroes return after death.
These tribes have always regarded Changbai Mountain as their sacred mountain, which is sacred and inviolable.
But now it seems that the souls of these great shamans and tribal heroes were taken by this Tianchi witch of Changbai Mountain.
Today's shamanism in Changbai Mountain is actually not developed, let alone prosperous, even if there are some shamans in various tribes, but after Bajie saw it, he knew that most of them were in vain, and there was no real material.
Many "shamans" are just symbolic beings, more of tribal leaders, used to assert their own rule over the tribe.
But there are also some shamans who have gradually awakened the power that really belongs to the "witch" because of the great prosperity of humanity, but after all, they have just Fusu, and their strength is still very weak, compared to the "power of the human bloodline" that has been developed for more than ten years, there is still a big gap.
The tribal leader, in fact, also deliberately controls the development of the "wizard", at least to keep them within his control.
Once a wizard's power surpasses his own, then it is not necessarily a good thing for the tribal leader. After all, on weekdays, tribal leaders often act in the name of shamans.
So. Even if the tribal leader knew what was going on for a while, it was really unclear what the choice between the shaman and the tribal leader would be made by the tribes under the tent who were bewitched on a daily basis.
This is also an important reason why Datang does not plan to intervene too much in similar areas at present.
Region, religion, belief. There are still considerable cultural differences between them and the Central Plains.
This kind of phenomenon, even in the Central Plains, is not uncommon to see ten miles of different sounds, hundreds of miles of different customs, but it is not simply a lip service.
If you want to truly complete a great integration, it is by no means possible in a short period of time, but the First Emperor has already given the answer - "the book is the same text, the car is the same track". The emperors of later generations, as long as they can effectively implement it, will be able to achieve it sooner or later.
Li Shimin's establishment of Confucianism in various places is nothing more than this.
From the inside to the outside, with points to the surface, step by step to spread the Bajie The reason why Bajie came to Changbai Mountain at this time was actually from Senior Brother Sha that the next direction of the imperial court's governance was to pass through the grassland and develop the northeast.
In order to achieve a border with Beizhou and Dongzhou, it is not just a border on the territory, and the two sides should have deeper exchanges.
Conquest does not have to be by force.
Let the "barbaric and uncivilized" demons in Beizhou experience the advanced and civilized culture of the human race, and let the human race under the control of the sect in Dongzhou truly experience the pride of being a human race, so that perhaps the seemingly complicated and clueless problem will be solved in the future.
Just like Xizhou today, the country there has begun to accept Confucianism, even if there are some stubborn old-fashioned schools with a tough attitude, but the torrent of the times has rolled in, and it is not something that they can resist with their meager strength.
Moreover, even the Buddha of Lingshan turned a blind eye to the "invasion" of Confucianism, so how could the believers below have confidence when they resisted the invasion of Confucianism?
Changbai Mountain Tianchi is located in the embrace of the sixteen peaks of Changbai Mountain, backed by the main peak of Changbai Baitou Peak, about ten miles long from north to south, and about seven miles wide from east to west.
Bajie is standing on the edge of Tianchi at this moment, seeing that the water of Tianchi Lake is deep and clear, and the surface of the pool surrounded by peaks reflects the colorful scene, which is magnificent. The shadows of these sixteen mountain peaks are all in the heavenly pool, connecting to the blue sky on the top, which can be said to be connected by mountains and rivers, and the water and sky are the same color.
Bajie covers the entire Tianchi with his divine sense, but he only sees the water outlet, and never sees the water inlet, but the water of this Tianchi has flowed since ancient times, and has never been cut off, which can be regarded as a wonderful place.
In fact, this heavenly pool is not a mortal thing.
It was originally a treasure mirror of Venus in the sky, because during a peach meeting, the two daughters of the Queen Mother wanted to order a high and low in appearance, so Tai Bai Xing took out this mirror and said: As long as you use it to take a look, the mirror will give the answer.
After the two sisters looked in the mirror, the mirror said that the younger sister was better-looking, which angered the elder sister, and the elder sister was angry and threw the mirror down the mortal world and landed on Changbai Mountain
It also happened that there was a demon in Changbai Mountain who breathed fire and smoke, which made the grass and trees in the whole mountain scorched, and the flames covered the sun all day long, and the people were miserable.
My sister was reincarnated as a girl named Azalea of the human race, and when she grew up, she picked up the treasure mirror that she had thrown to the mortal world, and defeated the demon with this treasure mirror, and the treasure mirror turned into the Tianchi of Changbai Mountain.
And the cuckoo girl, it was the demon who injured the origin, and since then she has been sleeping in Changbai Mountain, and her soul has been reincarnated in the world.
My sister was reincarnated as a cuckoo girl, and my sister was Princess Longji in the War of the Gods.
Therefore, in the subsequent peach meeting, Princess Longji deliberately angered her father and mother and sister, and was convicted of a faux pas, expelled from heaven, and degraded to the mortal world.
It's just these things that few people know. Even the six-eared macaque is not clear, and there is no record in the materials of the True Monarch Temple.
Except for a few parties involved, I am afraid that among the Three Realms today, only Di Ting and Bai Ze may know about this matter. But even if they knew, they wouldn't go around preaching it.
Hongyangzi's divine soul is hovering and hovering above Tianchi at this moment. Bajie still maintains the stealth technique, waiting for its changes.
Not long after, some ripples were set off on the surface of Tianchi Lake.
Bajie subconsciously held his breath and looked at it, but he saw a strange thing, slowly emerging from the Tianchi, his body was black, his head was as big as a basin, the square top had horns, and his long necks were many. It looks like a dragon, but it's actually more like a lurk.
After all, the little white dragon is a true dragon of the four seas with pure blood, and Bajie can still recognize it clearly in this regard.
Moreover, there is also a record on the information sent by the six-eared macaque, saying that the witch of Tianchi has raised many strange beasts in Tianchi, and this black submarine is one of them.
