The new book "Beast Ghost" has been released, if you like friends, please give support, little brother, thank you!

Regarding the new book, the world is still set in a dark and eerie style.

And in the background of the story, I also adopted the most fascinating view of religion in the Yin Shang period.

As we all know, the myths and stories that we are familiar with today, such as the Yellow Emperor's battle against Chiyou, Houyi's shooting of the sun, etc., are mostly from books such as "Yu Benjing" and "Shan Hai Jing" written during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

As for the myths of the Shang Dynasty in the earlier period, they are like mysteries in a thick fog, fascinating but difficult to explore and full of controversy.

The image of the Chinese "dragon" has undergone a long evolutionary process.

During the Shang Dynasty, the image of the dragon began to take shape, and the first dragon in the full sense of the word was born, Kui Long.

What is certain is that in early China, the status of the dragon was very high, far from the later generations after the rise of Buddhism and Taoism, the dragon became the mount of various gods and the like.

The latest archaeological theory holds that during the Yin Shang period, "dragon" was synonymous with "god".

The word "god" in the oracle bone inscription has always been thought to mean lightning. The new theory suggests that it represents a two-headed dragon.

Kui Long was the god who controlled life and death in the Shang Dynasty, and the god who was in charge of life and death in the Zhou Dynasty was "Si Ming", followed by "Nandou, Beidou", followed by gods such as "Taishan Mansion Jun", "Ten Palaces of Yama", and "King of Jizo".

In addition to worshipping ancestors, sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers gods, the Shang Dynasty also worshiped various beast-shaped gods.

For example, the ancestor of the Shang Dynasty, the dragon god who holds life and death, the guardian god tiger, the four-sided divine phoenix, the god of war owl, the earth god turtle and so on.

And above the gods, there is a supreme "emperor" in the center.

The Shang Dynasty worshipped the "emperor", there was an "emperor" in the sky, and there was a corresponding "emperor" on the earth. Therefore, in the early and middle Shang Dynasty, the dead kings were also called "emperors". In the late Shang Dynasty, after the royal power suppressed the divine power, the living king was also qualified to be called "emperor." ”

And in the Zhou Dynasty, which worshiped "heaven", the king began to be called "the Son of Heaven". And the Zhou Dynasty also began to give the "emperor" personality and became a new "Haotian God".

During the Shang Dynasty, the power of witches was also very great.

The most famous sorcerer, Yi Yin, served as the head of the witch "Geren", and even had the power to exile the king.

And the most famous witch is good, she is not only a king, but also a queen, and a military commander, who can lead the largest number of armies in the dynasty.

The Shang Dynasty also had a decameron worship, in which each king was named after the ten suns, and this cycle was carried out. The famous Shang king, he called "Di Xin" is the name of the eighth sun.

......

A rough description can be seen that there is a primitive and perfect part of the religious outlook of the Shang Dynasty, and the style of ghost and god divination and human sacrifice was very popular in this period.

And the mysterious culture in it also has an extraordinary alternative charm.

This led me to write a new book, "Beasts and Ghosts", hoping to bring an alternative dark and weird, but also to be exciting.

In the new book "Beasts and Ghosts", the world in which the protagonist lives is a world with strange stories and terrifying supernatural events.

And in this alternate world, the gate valve is deeply entrenched, and the warlords are ruled by separation. Although the world is unified, it is already on the verge of chaos.

And in this turbulent era, the sudden outbreak of demons and monsters, and the strong with mysterious abilities began to recover. The protagonist is in such a world, and there must be a wonderful story.

Among them, there is also my favorite witch culture, which is not shown in "Extreme Demons", and will be explained from a different perspective in the new book "Beasts and Ghosts".

Due to my lack of experience, the book "Extreme Demons" has led to a lot of shortcomings, and I will also correct and make up for these shortcomings in the new book.

Xue Yi, the protagonist of the new book "Beasts and Ghosts", will no longer adopt a dark and distorted character, but will become more humane.

The new book is released, the little seedlings need to be cared for, and the book friends who like it are invited to collect and vote for their valuable recommendations, thank you, little brother!
