Chapter 10: The True Tribulation
"I still vaguely remember that when I made people out of soil, little people surrounded me and called my mother. I have to be careful even when I turn around, for fear of who my tail will press. I didn't expect that after so many years, there were so many human races all over the world. ”
On the flower platform dragged by dozens of giant elephants, Nuwa, who had turned into two legs, waved to the people on the side of the street and admonished Di Xin:
"You are the emperor, you should take it as your responsibility to benefit the people of the world, you need to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, relatives and virtuous ministers are far from villains, you must not indulge in pleasures, only listen to slander."
Di Xin nodded solemnly, "Lone will be a good human emperor." ”
Nuwa looked at Bai Yao on the other side and said:
"This seat can't see through you, and I can't see through any of the great wishes, your position in humanity is very special."
Bai Yao pondered for a moment and said:
"If you have the luck of humanity, you will do what you are humane."
Nuwa's eyes flashed with brilliance and she asked:
"What is humane?"
Bai Yao thought for a moment and replied seriously:
"In the long night, the human race held the lamp, overcoming obstacles and opening up the way forward."
"What if it's dawn?"
Nuwa asked, as if she was looking for an answer.
Dawn?
What is the problem?
Baiyao pondered.
Nuwa was not in a hurry, and waited quietly on the side.
After a long time, Bai Yao pursed his lips and said:
"I only believe in the lamp in my hand."
"I only believe in the lamp in my hand......" Nuwa repeated Bai Yao's answer, and suddenly smiled: "Well said." ”
Her voice was extremely gentle, and she looked ahead and said softly:
"The sacrifice of living people is too heavy, and the karma accumulated by the Great Shang royal family has reached the point of no return, if the national fortune is counterattacked by karma in the future, can there be a way to crack it?"
Nuwa is the supreme humanitarian, but it does not mean that she knows humanity well.
She stood at the pinnacle of humanity, but there was more than one way up the mountain.
The Supreme is only the position, but the Tao is the rule that makes up everything in the world.
The Heavenly Dao expounds the rules in a system of practice.
Humanity is a place to show existence.
In the past, Nuwa could easily increase the national fortune of a certain dynasty of the human race, but since the appearance of the position of Dazhu, the national fortune of the world has become mysterious and mysterious, and it is no longer under her control.
Bai Yao's expression was solemn, and the information revealed by Nuwa was too important.
Human sacrifice was originally a matter of moral torture for him, but after fusing his memories, he could accept it, and he could change it subtly and find a replacement sacrifice.
But now, because this life is closely related to the fortune of the country, it has become a matter of life and death.
When he had no choice, he replied:
"I will use other methods to stabilize the country's fortunes."
At this time, Di Xin, who had been thinking for a long time, suddenly spoke:
"Why don't you kill less and offer more rare treasures?"
Bai Yao was stunned for a moment, Di Xin's words crossed the power boundary between the two, what to sacrifice to him, others can't even make suggestions.
But just in time, he also wanted to stretch his hand to the court.
"It is precisely because the fortunes of the country are affected by karma that I fall into a deep sleep, and the ancestors are tired of killing."
Bai Yao once again used his power to interpret ghosts and gods to make things up.
The system does not stipulate the sacrifices required for the sacrifice, and you can only get the 500 points of national fortune with anything.
It's the ritual that matters.
The reason for sacrificing human life is to make others feel fearful, and the psychology of fear can raise the meaning of sacrifice to an unprecedented level.
Deterrence and ideological imprisonment will steadily concentrate power in the hands of a few.
I have to say that the first Dazhu really knows this.
Nuwa was surprised for a moment, a strange look appeared on her face, and she thought:
"Isn't it because you are sleeping because your hand is stretched out and you are counterattacked by the Heavenly Dao?"
Di Xin didn't expect that the reason for Baiyao's sleep was actually this, his expression was grim, and he immediately said: "It's better to give up the sacrifices of the living." ”
Bai Yao shook his head:
"It can be greatly reduced, but it cannot be abandoned, and anyone who threatens the rule of my Great Shang must be used as a sacrifice."
He continued to say to Di Xin:
"Generally, with the help of my ancestors, I found out the traitors of the court, the moths of the royal family, and the civil rebels, and sacrificed them, the ancestors will be very happy, and I will not fall asleep again."
When Di Xin heard Bai Yao's words, he took a deep breath and nodded:
"Ancestor Shengming, I hope to bother with Dazhu, we must find out the traitor who threatens Cheng Tang's foundation, after the Taishi set out on the expedition, he really became a lonely person in the court, and no one dared to believe it."
Good manpower is not needed there, and it is too wasteful to kill it with one knife.
Emperor Xin wants to change this situation, and what he needs most is Baiyao's support, even if he is allowed to meddle in the affairs of the court.
"Protecting the country is a matter of duty."
Di Xin gave sincerity, and it was impossible for Baiyao to be indestructible, and said with a smile:
"I heard that after the king ascended the throne, he once proposed to reduce the number of people and animals, and I think that when I am sleeping, the ancestors will warn the great merchants through you, and I am very lucky."
Compared with Baiyao's sobriety, Di Xin, who was as superstitious as other royal families, did not think that he was trading, but felt that he was the king recognized by his ancestors, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
In just a few words, the two helped each other complete the extension of power.
At the end of the city tour, Bai Yao and Di Xin invited Nuwa back to the palace to watch the song and dance.
Di Xin said with great interest:
"It is a dance drama about Niangniang's refining stones to make up the sky."
Baiyao, in line with the choice of wearing thousands of sycophants and not wearing them, echoed:
"The dancer who plays the role of Niangniang has the best appearance in the world, although it is less than one-ten-thousandth of Niangniang, but fortunately, her acting skills are excellent and her singing voice is moving."
Nuwa smiled and shook her head:
"The palace is gone, and this seat is already very happy."
The celebratory voices around him fell silent, time seemed to pause, and everything was frozen in place.
Bai Yao looked around and found that even Di Xin had been suspended.
", this is ......"
Nuwa's purple eyes became worried, and she said softly:
"The catastrophe is coming, and many things are also helpless, such as the Xuanyuan Tomb Fox Demon who was detained by the true spirit."
The Great Tribulation? God's Apocalypse?
Although Bai Yao was not sure, he still said in a deep voice:
"I have deduced the general trend of heaven and earth, and glimpsed the future, the fox demon is the head of the disaster, and now he has recognized the master, and he can't turn over the wind and waves."
When Nuwa heard that he had really calculated something, she was surprised and still shook her head and said:
"You are asleep because you have stolen the heavenly machine, but the heavenly machine has long been disordered and cannot be trusted."
She stared at Bai Yao and asked bluntly:
"What you saw, but Zixiao Palace signed the Seal God List? When the Zhou room is prosperous, the big business is destroyed? ”
Bai Yao's face was full of astonishment, and he opened his mouth wide in surprise and did not speak, his eyes were as wide as walnuts.
How do you know the reason for my slumber?
Do you know the plot?
In the original book, you were used as a gun.
His reaction verified Nuwa's conjecture, and she said to herself with a solemn expression:
"Your awakening and what you have learned just proves that the real catastrophe cannot be replaced at will, after all, as soon as you intervene, everything that is scheduled will change."
"But the false catastrophe has begun, and they will not stop, they can only take one step at a time."
Nuwa's figure began to be illusory, and said solemnly:
"I'm going to go back and think about a way to deal with the real catastrophe, I hope to save the shemale clan, what do you need now, I'll try to hide it from them to you."
It's a real catastrophe and a fake catastrophe, Bai Yao's scalp was numb when he heard it, but he still reacted immediately:
"I'm going to ...... I want to practice the scriptures and the magic weapons! ”
