Since it is the kingdom of God, of course there are gods, and it is obvious that the people of Jiang Ben worship the gods every day, but their gods are not in the sky, they are real, and they are called the gods of Jiang Ben. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The god Jiang Ben lived in a shrine on a hill in the middle of the world, where tall stone buildings were connected and many interconnected caves were carved into the mountain, like a primitive palace. The best of the villages, the most devout devotees, had the privilege of being selected to serve the god of Jiang Ben in the shrine, and they offered all kinds of goods and the most beautiful utensils they could make to the god of Jiang Ben.
Huwa also found that pottery is not used here, and the Jiang people do not seem to have mastered the pottery-making process. Bamboo grows here, and they use bone, stone, bamboo, and wood tools, and these Jiang people seem to have had enough time and patience to make all kinds of utensils very delicate and durable.
There is no pottery, and there is no metal, but Huwa found that some of the utensils and tools used in the village are no less textured than metal, although they are not treasures, but they are obviously processed and created by refining tools, which is definitely not something that ordinary demon people can do, and it should be given by the god of Jiang Ben.
The words of the god of Jiang Ben are oracles and decrees here, and all Jiang Ben people will obey them unconditionally. The tiger baby comes from the wilderness, and of course knows a lot about the customs of primitive tribes, and you can see a lot of familiar things here. For example, the leader of the village also served as a priest, and it was believed that the leader received magical powers or blessings from the god Jiang Ben.
When someone is injured or eaten by poisonous insects, they often ask the village leader for treatment. And the leaders of these villages have also mastered some simple methods of healing injuries and diseases, and some of them still have cultivation, although most of them are not very high.
According to the observation of Tiger Baby and Xuan Yuan, the intelligence of this demon clan is not high, it is equivalent to the appearance of a normal person in his teens, and people like this are often called "Guawa" or "Hanzi" outside. It's not that they're stupid, it's just that the normal intelligence of this race is.
Of course, it is also possible to enter the initial realm and be able to cultivate, after all, there is already spiritual wisdom in the body, as long as you guide the Fa. In fact, as the cultivation realm gets higher and higher, it is also a process of spiritual wisdom opening, which can break through the limitations of the original race, and cultivation has always been more and more transparent, unless something goes wrong, no one will become more and more idiotic the more they cultivate.
Although the social structure here is very primitive, it is also very stable, and there is no chaos and fighting, and this unique style has been formed in this unique environment.
The Cave Heaven Inheritance here is still there, and the person who masters the Cave Heaven Inheritance should be the God of Jiang Ben, and his people at least have a great cultivation, and in history, this Cave Heaven has been opened up and expanded, indicating that there are still people who have at least reached the Nine Realms of cultivation.
It took almost a day to roughly figure out the situation in the cave, Xuanyuan frowned slightly and said, "Tiger baby, what do you remember?"
Huwa replied: "It's the same as you think, Bujinshan Small World and Ancient Heavenly Ancestors...... What's going on, let's go to the shrine and visit the god of Jiang Ben. ”
It's no wonder they think so, some of the situations here are indeed similar to the small world of Bujin Mountain, where there are races in a closed environment, but a god of Jiang Ben is worshipped, and that god of Jiang Ben lives in the shrine. The difference is that the Ancient Heavenly Ancestor didn't get the Cave Heaven Inheritance back then, so he couldn't get out at all, and the Cave Heaven Inheritance was still there, but the area near the portal had become a deserted place, and the person who controlled the Cave Heaven didn't seem to have any intention of going out at all.
Huwa and Xuanyuan came to the sky above the hill where the "Divine Palace" was located, and Xuanyuan suddenly said: "Someone has been here, I don't know if it is Emperor Taihao...... Let's just show up. ”
The shrine is built on a hill, and on the cliff on the side of the hill, there are many murals of different ages, and although the style is simple and rough, you can vaguely understand what it means. In the earliest mural in front, it should be the Jiang people struggling to survive surrounded by various fierce birds and beasts.
The beasts are all exaggerated, and their bodies are particularly large, like tigers, leopards, and pythons. People fought with all kinds of weapons, but many died with sharp teeth and fangs. Looking at the body proportions of these characters, you can know that it is the story of the Jiang people themselves, expressing some kind of historical memory.
In the later murals, there is a peace and tranquility, with houses and pastorals, and a very tall image, which should be the leader at that time, leading the people to establish a peaceful place, and the fierce birds and beasts are gone, which may refer to entering this cave or opening up the cave heaven barrier.
In the later murals, there is a "person", although the face is not clearly delineated, but the body proportion is definitely a normal person. This person stood in mid-air, with radial lines drawn around his body, which should symbolize radiance, while the Jiang people knelt on the ground to worship and worship him as a god.
If you want to understand this primitive mural, you can often only rely on guessing, and with the immortal family of Tiger Baby and Xuanyuan, you can experience more than ordinary people. Huwa wondered: "Could it be that the god of Jiang Ben here is an outsider?"
Xuanyuan: "It is also possible that the god of Jiang Ben knows the appearance of ordinary people, or has seen foreign masters, and with his cultivation, he appears as an ordinary person, but he is regarded as a god by the people here." ”
Tiger Doll and Xuan Yuan appeared in the form and appeared directly in the air outside the Divine Palace. The guards outside the shrine were startled, waving their arms and screaming, but they all threw away the weapons in their hands, and many Jiang Ben people ran out of the shrine, and then they all bowed and bowed in the air.
One of them ran out of the Divine Palace surrounded by attendants, obviously the leader of the crowd, he knelt at the front, bowed his head and opened his arms and said, "Messenger from heaven, are you here to lead Jiang Benshen to heaven?"
This person is not the god of Jiang Ben, but the "great sacrifice" of Jiang Ben's divine kingdom, named Jiang Youji. The situation of Jiang Ben's divine kingdom is very unique, if you barely make an analogy, it is somewhat similar to some **** kingdoms in later generations, Jiang Ben's god is both a god and a monarch, but he rarely shows up to deal with mundane affairs, and the great sacrifice is equivalent to the role of the ruler, but there are not many affairs to deal with here.
Huwa and Xuanyuan have almost figured out the situation here, of course they know who the speaker is, and they also said in the same dialect: "We did come down from the sky to see Jiang Benshen." "The other party misunderstood that they were messengers from heaven, and they didn't deny it, this is actually a fact, Huwa and Xuanyuan are indeed true immortals in the lower realm.
Jiang Youji replied: "Jiang Benshen is in retreat and cultivating in order to welcome the arrival of the day of ascension...... Two angels, please wait with me at the shrine. ”
Jiang Youji got up and led the way in front of the side, and Huwa and Xuanyuan fell into the clouds and followed him into the Divine Palace. This road from the foot of the hill into the shrine is very distinctive, like a thick wall more than a zhang high and more than a zhang wide, Huwa and Xuanyuan walked on the top of the wall, and the rest of the Jiang people walked on both sides of the wall below.
Why there is such a design, the tiger baby also figured it out in a blink of an eye. Because the Jiang people are very tall, and the adult men are about two zhang, if they walk on the same plane, they will look very short "gods". They did not dare to surpass the gods in position, so they built such a peculiar "Shinto".
It can also be seen from this that the god of Jiang Ben is also the appearance of ordinary people. The Jiang people here have never seen people, or they have never seen "people" other than the god of Jiang Ben, so they regard Huwa and Xuanyuan as gods, and it is estimated that they will think that they are gods when they see anyone they see.
Huwa didn't want to cause panic and hostility among the Jiang people, and tried to avoid unexpected conflicts. And the Jiang people here are really simple, as soon as they see him and Xuanyuan, they regard them as gods, and they welcome them into the shrine so respectfully.
The Jiang people are very tall, so the palace is also very tall. The other attendants in the shrine also came to pay their respects, and they all prostrated on the ground, and after the tiger baby ordered them to get up, these people also tried to bend down and support the ground with their hands. There is a throne in the center of the main hall, and the pedestal is very high, which should be the position of the god of Jiang Ben.
Jiang Youji hurriedly ordered someone to put two seats that were level with the throne, in short, Huwa and Xuanyuan sat on it, and the position was not lower than that of the Jiang people who were standing. After taking their seats, they once again received a formal visit from all the staff in the shrine, because the scene just now was really a bit chaotic, and the incident happened suddenly.
There are about eighty clansmen in the Divine Palace, half of them have cultivated in their bodies, and there are nearly ten people who have cultivated to more than the four realms, and the highest cultivation is of course the great priest Jiang Youji. Jiang Youji was already a Dacheng monk, and he was the only Dacheng monk Huwa and Xuanyuan had seen here.
Dacheng and Dacheng are not the same, although Jiang Youji has six realms of cultivation, but his knowledge is still limited to this world. For example, Bai Rongjiao in the past, although he has ushered in the catastrophe of rebirth, he is still ignorant of demons.
From this point of view, this shrine is also a place for cultivating monks. The god of Jiang Ben selected the best clansmen from each village to bring to the shrine for guidance, some of them would become the leaders of each village in the future, and some would stay in the shrine to continue their cultivation.
With more than 7,000 demon clans, there are so many monks, and the god of Jiang Ben has done a very good job. Another reason for the more important is also because the people here are leisurely and simple, and there is no dispute with the world.
Seeing this scene, Huwa couldn't help but think of the ancient heavenly ancestors and the cultivators of the Immortal Mountain in the small world of Bujin Mountain, but the feeling was obviously different. The god of Jiang Ben has not appeared and is said to be in retreat. When the tiger baby entered the small world of Bujin Mountain, he was plotted by the ancient heavenly ancestor in the immortal mountain hall, and he had to beware of similar changes, but with his and Xuanyuan's current cultivation, there was no need to be afraid of those things.
After accepting the visit, Huwa and Xuanyuan sent everyone else away, leaving only Jiang Youji in the main hall, and they asked the great priest a lot of information. Jiang Youji has no other eyes at all, everyone knows everything, everything is endless, and his attitude towards the "angel" is very respectful. In fact, even if he wanted to lie or have reservations, it was meaningless in front of Huwa and Xuanyuan.
The first thing Huwa asked was, of course, the origin of Jiang Ben's kingdom. And what Jiang Youji knows is the legend of Jiang's own people. Such legends were called myths in later generations, but for the Jiang people, they were all true things that they firmly believed. Like many myths in the world, legends begin with the opening of the world.
It is said that it was the "ancestral god" who opened the world and created the world of heaven and earth, as well as all living beings in the world and the people of the Jiang people. In the earliest days, fierce birds and beasts were infested on the earth, and floods and oceans invaded. The ancestral god guided the people to defeat the flood beasts, and finally established the peaceful and peaceful Jiang Ben Divine Kingdom.
If you think about it carefully, such a myth is always a bit puzzling. Since the world was created by the ancestral gods, where did the flood beasts come from, and why didn't the ancestral gods directly create a happy kingdom of gods? But the Jiang people will not investigate this problem, anyway, the legend is like this, then everything may be the test of the ancestral gods to the clansmen.
