Chapter 58: There Is No God
The next day, Wu Zhu came to Xujiazhuang early, but he was just drinking tea in the living room of Gongzi's mansion, and after getting the news of Kongsangzi's return, Feng Xue and Wu Zhu left Xujiazhuang in the scorching sun.
Today's weather is slightly cooler than yesterday, there are barbarian slaves carrying sliding rods, Feng Xue and Wu Zhu didn't feel any burden, and after traveling all the way for more than half an hour, the two came to the stream again.
"Is this mountain?" Wu Zhu raised his head, looking at this mountain that was already considered a high mountain in Feng Xue's previous life, but here it can only be regarded as a small mountain, and his eyebrows were slightly raised.
"This is it, walk about two miles inside to reach the maze. Feng Xue was about to lead the way, but Wu Zhu shook his head and said:
"Don't worry, wait for me to ask the mountain god first. ”
Feng Xue's eyes lit up when he heard this, or did Wu wish this method safe, what is going on on the mountain, don't you know if you ask the mountain god? But ...... Isn't the land of the mountain god not assigned by Wu Zhu?
Feng Xue asked his doubts, but Wu Zhu said with a smile: "Not being assigned means that you can't be summoned like Chenghuang, but if you have something, you can still invite you to talk......
Hearing this, Feng Xue suddenly wanted to laugh a little, is this city god of such a low status?
After Wu Zhu finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to it anymore, just fiddling with Yujue, burning incense and chanting incantations, but after a long time, he didn't see the so-called mountain god appear.
"It's strange, look at the aura of this mountain, the aura is stable, it doesn't look like a place without a mountain god!" Wu Zhu frowned, fiddled with it again, and saw that there was still no mountain god appearing, and his face was immediately ugly.
Feng Xue could see that it was not because the mountain god didn't give face to the ugliness, but because of the ugliness of hearing about something big.
It seems that Wu Zhu has thought of something.
"Young Master Xu, you said there's a village around here?" Wu Zhu asked.
"Well, not far to the east, there is a small Orion Village, and there are only a dozen households in total. Feng Xue nodded, but she didn't say anything about Lao Li Tou's sale of spirit beasts.
"Okay, I'll try to ask for land. Wu Zhu's tone was slightly solemn, if a mountain has the jurisdiction of the mountain god, it can only be seen from the momentum of the mountain, then as long as it is a place where the human race settles, there will be land jurisdiction, but many times, the human settlement that lives by the mountain, the mountain god and the land are concurrent.
Wu Zhu once again fiddled with the things he brought, the objects used, and the spells were clearly different, but after this behavior lasted for a quarter of an hour, there was still no movement, and Wu Zhu's face was extremely dark at this time.
"It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go back first!" Wu Zhu's voice fell, and no matter whether Feng Xue heard it or not, he immediately began to command the barbarian slaves he brought to pack up his things, no matter whether it was neat or not, what altars, jade jue, and incense candles were all packed together, it didn't look like going back to the city, but like he was going to escape from the famine.
Seeing this, Feng Xue didn't dare to delay, jumped on the sliding rod and rushed to Sheyang County with Wu Zhu all the way, running more than a mile, Wu Zhu said as if he was in shock:
"On that mountain, I'm afraid there is obscenity. ”
"Obscenity?" Feng Xue raised his eyebrows, as a former farmer writer, he was not unfamiliar with this word, simply put, a sacrificial act that does not meet the national recognition is considered obscenity.
For example, if you are a person who grows flowers and goes to sacrifice the locust army, it is obscenity.
But Wu Zhu's appearance is obviously not only like this.
"How much does Childe know about Shinto?" Wu Zhu did not directly explain the meaning of obscenity, but as if sorting out his thoughts, he first gave a question.
"The divine system of prying incense to move human merits?" Feng Xue said in as contemporary language as possible, in fact, if he could use modern knowledge and vocabulary, he could pull out a description of tens of thousands of words, but if it was limited to the level he should understand, it would be like this.
"That's pretty much right. Wu Zhu nodded, stretched out his hand and touched his beard, as if he had recovered from the previous panic, he frowned, and slowly stated:
"Shinto is a system formed by Emperor Fuxi based on the pool of merit created by his own humane merits, and the process of becoming a god is actually using merit as a material to transform the soul into a divine body.
However, because the merit required for this process is quite large for the individual, there is a saying that incense is used to pry the merit, but to put it bluntly, it means that the required merit is borrowed from the merit pool built by Emperor Fuxi, and a part of the merit accumulated after becoming a deity will be used to repay the merit originally lent.
Therefore, with the development of Shinto, there will be more and more merits in the merit pool, and the merit that can be lent will naturally increase, and finally a virtuous circle will be formed, supporting the entire Yin Si Difu, and incense is just a necessary condition for borrowing merit from the merit pool. The reason why they have merit to join the Yin Division is that in addition to the character guarantee, there is also the reason why they have to borrow less merit from the merit pool. ”
"I see. Although Feng Xue had already learned about the relevant information from the humane incense entry on the character panel, she still nodded and motioned for Wu Zhu to continue.
Seeing that Feng Xue didn't ask, Wu Zhu took out a bamboo tube and drank some water, and then entered the topic:
"Generally speaking, the process of borrowing merit with incense requires going through the procedures of the underworld (and the procedures of the heavenly court can also be followed in the future), so even if the living person lives in the incense, it cannot be directly exchanged for merit, but there are exceptions to everything, and those who do not go through the underworld and directly steal the merits in the merit pool to become gods are called obscenity. ”
"Stealing?" Feng Xue furrowed her eyebrows and grasped the point.
"That's right, stealing, that is, after using it, it will not be repaid. When Wu Zhu said this, he gritted his teeth and said, "When the Shinto was first formed, there were many places where there were live sacrifices to the so-called river gods and mountain gods, which is a typical obscenity. ”
"Didn't I be sacrificed to a serious river god back then?" Feng Xueqiang resisted the urge to roll his eyes, but then, he realized one thing-
"A living sacrifice?"
"Yes, the merit pool will only act according to the rules set by Emperor Fuxi, so if you want to cheat the merit pool and steal merit, the easiest way is to let yourself bring the breath of the underworld, and to create the atmosphere of the underworld, you should understand what I mean......"
"Living sacrifice. Feng Xue sighed and repeated these two words, but the tone was completely different.
"Yes, and the amount of merit required to steal for the first time is huge, so a large number of living sacrifices are required, by killing a large number of human races, obtaining enough breath from the passage of the underworld, so as to deceive the merit pool and condense the divine position, once the obscenity is successful, then this false god can steal merit through living sacrifices at any time, although it is impossible to steal too much each time, but it is absolutely intolerable!"
Speaking of this, Wu Zhu said in a very stern tone:
"After Emperor Yu calmed down the floods in the world, he severely cracked down on obscenity in various places, even those big demons and demon kings who raised human races only dared to imitate the merit pool with demon merits, because once discovered, it would be immortal, and the human race would destroy all enemies that shook the foundation of Shinto at any cost. ”
