Chapter 546: The Past of the Mural
Song Siyuan's words also felt that it was possible, the time point when the old god of Qinling appeared was the ancient Chu era, although it was far enough away from the current era, in front of the history of the ancestors of the witch god, he was only a grandson, only the reason for the grandson to worship his grandfather, how could there be a grandfather to worship his grandson in turn.
"Look again, there are a lot of murals on the surrounding walls, maybe there is the information we need!"
When Song Siyuan was puzzled, her eyes glanced to the side, and under the countless stone pillars, there were many narrative murals, and she turned on her flashlight to approach the corridor on the wall, carefully observing these colorful murals.
"These murals have probably been repaired by the Li Tang people, the original murals are very rough, what we see are painted with oil paint, and they have not faded after thousands of years."
As long as it hasn't faded, you can see the more complete information as much as possible, Song Siyuan looked excited, looked more carefully, she introduced while watching: "Li Tang popular cave Buddhist paintings, often the Buddha's various stories into a picture, completely spread out in a certain grotto, Li Tang people in the face of this prehistoric temple did not divide the picture, using the form of a full-width painting, the history of this tribe, with a variety of stories and pictures put together, to form a complete epic. ”
In the 800 miles of rivers, countless tribes and people live by water, gather villages and settle down, they rise and rise and make sunset and rest, farming and hunting, multiplication is endless, wherever they go, they must find giant trees, build a high media mother temple, a long time, Li is officially formed!
After the spring equinox, everything is revived, and the young boys and girls in the tribe who have not yet been married will enter the temple under the leadership of the tribal witch and wait to worship the mother god and pray for the heir.
The ritual involves the use of mineral pigments, the whole body is painted with mystical symbols, the tribesmen dance and sing to the blessings of the witches, and when the bonfire is lit at sunset, they enter the temple with the blessing of the gods, and in a few months, a new life will be born in the tribe.
Over the years, I don't know how long it took, their tribe gradually changed, witches withdrew from the male witches and the male witches rose, and the first male witch to preside over the sacrifice appeared in the tribe.
This male witch is more brave and warlike than the witch, leading the tribe to fight and kill, build weapons, fight against foreign enemies, invincible, gradually, the male witch realizes that if the other tribes are cut down after victory, the number of the original tribe is too small, it is difficult to develop the power, and it is not conducive to enhancing the strength of the tribe.
I heard that some tribes in the middle of the river have broken away from the witch sacrifice leader system, and have elected a emperor to be the leader, after they expelled the power of the witch, they did not cut off the psychic with the gods, but returned the power of the witch to the emperor!
It is a sin that only witches like them are the closest to the gods, and it is an unforgivable sin for some tribes in the central part of the country, despite their abundance and happiness, to make a great mistake that angers the gods.
For this, the leader of the Li tribe can only retriev anger but can do nothing, the Li tribe is too weak, not enough to compete with the middle of the river tribe, he thinks, only by gathering more strength, can crusade against the tribe that angers the gods, want to achieve this, relying on the tribe to reproduce the population every year, to the year of the monkey and the month of the horse can not be realized, if you want to quickly obtain the population, you can only annex other tribes.
From then on, every time the Li tribe conquered, they had to kill their leaders and thorn vassals, and at the same time, appease the ordinary people, let them move or settle, as long as they were willing to settle in the Li tribe, the Li tribe would not only prepare food and houses for them, but also personally teach them the art of cultivation and weaving.
However, in just ten years, the Li tribe occupied 800 miles of rivers in the land east of the river, gathered many nameless tribes, and formed the Li State with many forces and strong soldiers, which was called Hedong Jiuli together with the eight extremely powerful Fang States.
In this process, the power of the tribal witches in the river has been exhausted, and they are either excluded from the sacrifice, or they are willing to become tribal vassals and become the emperor's sacrificial officials, and their power has been greatly reduced and dependent on the powerful.
Since the indignation of the witches is difficult to dissipate their anger, it is already the gods who are about to be angry, and the leader of the Li State after sacrificing to the gods in the Jiuli Fang Kingdom, proclaimed himself the Jiuli Witch Emperor, and summoned the expelled wandering witches under the banner of the Witch Emperor to establish the country of the witch gods in the land east of the river.
In this country, the witch is the people, the people are the witch, when it is necessary to sacrifice to the gods, often the whole country sacrifices, once the usual work resumes, the witches will undertake their own labor tasks as ordinary people, that is, each witch can worship the gods and communicate with the gods through themselves, without the help of anyone.
In this process, they gradually formed the gods that belonged to the witches, Taiyi, the wind god, the rain girl, the Si Ming, the Shaozhong, the mountain witch, the yang god, the cloud god, the spirit god, and the river king.
When the reputation of the Witch God Country spread to the River Tribes, their Emperor was obviously very angry, not only because the Wu who had been expelled by him had fled to the Jiuli Wu Kingdom, but because the Witch Emperor believed that everyone in the tribe could sacrifice to Tongtian, that is, everyone could come into contact with the gods, receive divine revelations, and control their own lives and fortunes at the same time.
Their monopoly of sacrifice is to cut off the communication between heaven and man, so that they can serve the gods alone, and rule over the people through the monopoly of the gods' hints.
If this continues, the people of the river will have no loyalty at all.
In the middle of the river and in the east of the river, there must be a battle!
