The day of incense in Nuwa Temple has finally arrived, for Dashang, this is just a grand sacrifice, but for Zhang Zixing, it is the most important first step in the game with the Mandate of Heaven.

When it was said, the people of Chaoge obeyed the order of the Son of Heaven, every household burned incense and set fires, and the colors were paved with fire, and Zhang Zixing congratulated Nuwa Niangniang's Christmas, and Zhang Zixing personally commanded hundreds of civil and military officials, and went to the Nuwa Palace outside the south gate to worship and congratulate.

Because Zhang Zixing had made a plan early, he deliberately renovated the Nuwa Palace when he ascended the throne that year, and replaced the original clay sculpture with a more noble bronze statue. The decoration in the main hall is exquisite, the style is gorgeous, on the agarwood throne in the center is the statue of Nuwa Niangniang, there are golden boys and jade maidens standing on both sides, under the seat is the dancing crane Xiangluan, the purple mist rises in the incense burner, it looks solemn and mysterious.

Zhang Zixing came to the main hall, looked at the holy statue of Nuwa Niangniang, and secretly sneered in his heart, the appearance of the bronze Nuwa in front of him is definitely not "national color and heavenly posture", and it can even be said to be a bit miserable, but from the perspective of the craftsmanship of this era, it is good to be carved like this. But with Nuwa's appearance now, let alone himself, even if he is the faint king of the barren silver, it is impossible to "steepen the silver heart", and it seems that there are many inaccuracies in the original book. However, he has experienced so many things, and he vaguely understands that this world is not completely developed according to the plot in the novel, or in other words, since he was reborn as King Shou, it has become a variable that affects the "Mandate of Heaven", and now, this world of gods is a combination of fiction + historical facts + variables. It can be said that everything is under control, and everything is not under control.

Despite his disdain, he still showed a pious face, respectfully offered incense in accordance with the ceremonial procedures, and the civil and military officials knelt down with the class to congratulate and offer various offerings. After the sacrifice was completed, Zhang Zixing instructed the ministers to wait outside the hall, and he had to pray to the mother alone.

Zhang Zixing's face was respectful, his eyes did not squint, he just lowered his head and recited the prayer prepared in advance, "The great merchant son Xin congratulates Niangniang on her longevity, her saintly virtue is immeasurable, and the people of the world are all sincerely obedient." I beg my mother to bless me with a long ...... of the Great Shang Country"

After the recitation, only a voice came from beside the icon: "Your Majesty is so pious, if you can obey the will of Heaven everywhere and have your own good fruits, then you can ascend to heaven as a god and enjoy immortal blessings forever." ”

Zhang Zixing saw that there was already an extra Dao Gu next to the incense case, and this Dao Gu gave him a very strange feeling, obviously in front of him, but he couldn't see the details of her appearance, and he didn't have any perception in his spiritual sense, so he could only faintly feel the existence of such a Dao Gu in his consciousness.

Sure enough, what should come will always come.

If it is an ordinary king, he will definitely be ecstatic when he hears the words "Fengshen" and "Xianfu". But the Son of Heaven in front of him is a guy who is extremely sensitive and even disgusted with the "gods", not only is he not grateful, but he almost can't help jumping up and scolding. Finally, Zhang Zixing still maintained his sanity, knowing that the Dao Gu in front of him was absolutely extraordinary, and it was Nuwa herself, so she didn't dare to show a gloomy face, and said with a sincere expression: "How can personal honor and disgrace be more dangerous than the safety of the society, as long as the four seas are peaceful, the people of the world will no longer suffer from war, even if the widow is not allowed to live after death, he will not hesitate!"

From the point of view of modern science, the ancients had an almost rich imagination of death, the funeral of the Shang Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty was the terracotta army, including the mysterious imperial tombs of the emperors of the past dynasties, all for the imagination of this kind of death - people still become gods and immortals after death, enjoy power and wealth, descendants can also obtain the blessing of the ancestors, and the sacrificial rites are also born from this, from ancient times to the present, this tradition is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Among the emperors of the past dynasties, whether they are virtuous or faint, almost all have the same dream, that is, to live forever, become immortals and become gods, or send people to the sea to find the secret recipe of immortality, or believe in alchemy, alchemy and medicine...... Now that Zhang Zixing, who is the supreme son of heaven, actually said "no transcendence", even if that Dao Gu cultivator has reached the realm of immortality, he can't help but be moved. But I don't know that this guy's bold words are just to give Dao Gu a good impression, although he is really to let the people live a good life, but after all, he is not the kind of great sage who serves meat and feeds eagles, if he really cares about his own safety one day, he has to "die a friend of the Dao and die of poverty".

"Your Majesty is both wise and brave, eloquent and strategic, now that the big business country is rich and the people are strong, and the world is peaceful, why is there such a thing as war and chaos?"

Zhang Zixing didn't want to go around in circles, so he bowed to Dao Gu and said bluntly: "Shangxian, Ming people don't say dark words, although the widow is not talented, but he also knows a little about the number of days, such as today's killing and robbery, chaos will be born, then the war will be together, the people will be the people are not happy, how to deal with it, please teach me Shangxian." ”

Dao Gu's tone was slightly surprised: "Your Majesty is really extraordinary, but you know the number of days of killing, when you know that the will of heaven is ruthless, the trend of chaos will be successful, only to follow the way, even if there are casualties, it is doomed, it cannot be changed, you just need to go with the sky, and you will have good results." ”

"Even those great supernatural saints who have been certified as the Mixed Yuan Dao Fruit can't change it?" Zhang Zixing's eyes fell on Dao Gu's face with blazing eyes, and his heart was not moved by the good fruit she said—isn't it just to seal a Laoshizi Tianxi Xing?

"Your Majesty is a person who is familiar with cultivation," Dao Gu hesitated slightly: "The saint has a wonderful understanding of the way of heaven, and he has to mix the yuan, how can he go against the sky?"

If it is said that Zhou exterminated Shang was the will of heaven, then why did the Tongtian Sect Master set up the Immortal Array and the Ten Thousand Immortal Array? Didn't he know that helping Yin Shang was against the sky? It wasn't because his disciples were slaughtered one after another, which touched the fundamental interests of the sect! Why did Yuan Shi Tianzun personally bully and oppress the junior Sanxiao in the Yellow River Array regardless of his face? It was also to protect the elite of the sect! Zhang Zixing didn't know why, the anger in his heart was very big, and finally his cultivation was not weak, so he forcibly suppressed his anger, and asked word by word: "Is it unwilling, or can't?"

"Your Majesty knows the power of a saint, why is he so skeptical?" Dao Gu snorted coldly: "Everything in the universe has a fixed number, in the vast heavenly way, the birth and death of the stars are only a thought, not to mention the rise and fall of the country, and the birth and death of living beings. Your so-called common people are just the sand of the heavenly river, insignificant, the way of the saints, the will of heaven at the top, and the calamity at the bottom, how can you understand it?"

Zhang Zixing only felt a flame rushing straight into his mind, and he could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, and asked loudly: "The people of Li worship the immortals and gods, are they not very pious, and some of them are difficult to guarantee even three meals a day, but they also have to ensure that the incense and offerings are comprehensive. They may seek wealth or glory, but most of them are just begging for peace and clothing. I can't imagine that even a saint can't bless his peace now, so what's the use of this human sacrifice and worship!"

Yes, what is the use of human beings sacrificing to those immortals, Buddhas, ghosts, gods, and even saints? When the calamity comes, they cannot get any protection, but instead become the victims of their "conformity to the way of heaven." If you don't sacrifice it, the gods will rain down all kinds of calamities to punish humanity. So what are the gods? Bullies who bully the weak and fear the hard? What are human beings? Animals that the gods breed?

"Bold faint king, who do you see me?" Dao Gu's whole body turned into a golden light and disappeared into the holy statue and the like, and the bronze statue on the altar suddenly changed, and for a time there were thousands of colors, auspicious clouds, as if the great divine had descended, and the ministers who were close to each other outside the main hall were unaware of the arguments or visions inside, as if they were far away from the Son of Heaven.

The identity of Dao Gu did not surprise Zhang Zixing, she didn't even look at her, and simply made a gesture: "Is it Nuwa Niangniang?" ”

That tone, with an undisguised coldness.

Nuwa Niangniang thought that after she showed her true body as a saint, the other party would be in awe and even kowtow to apologize, but she didn't expect it to be even more rude, and she couldn't help but be annoyed. How did she know that this "rebellious" Son of Heaven was from the future thousands of years later, and he was once a materialist, how could he be the same as those ordinary kings who feared the gods?

Although Nuwa Niangniang's voice was soft, it revealed a hint of coldness that made people uneasy: "What a great merchant son, since you became the son of heaven, although you have made great achievements, you are so happy and arrogant, I saw you repair your golden body, pray and pious, and come to give guidance with good intentions, I don't want you to despise the saint so much!"

"Niangniang's so-called guidance is to let me put aside the people of the world and only care about my own pleasure, until there are complaints, wars and disasters are everywhere, and finally the country is ruined?" Zhang Zixing raised his head and looked at Nuwa's eyes full of resentment.

It's okay that he didn't look at Nuwa, but at this glance, his gaze was fixed on her face, and he couldn't turn it away.

The sinking fish and geese, the closed moon and the shy flowers are not enough to describe the beauty of that face, even Shang Qingjun and Deng Chanyu are inferior by three points, the most special thing is the noble and holy temperament, even if it is the queen and the noble temperament Jiang Wenqiang will be dull in front of her. Zhang Zixing, who has never had much respect for the gods and saints, is even more evil, and four words appeared in his heart: the best royal sister!

Together, this blasphemous thought suddenly overflowed, and an image of conquering and blaspheming this royal sister boldly appeared in Zhang Zixing's mind, making his blood surging and difficult to hold himself. At this time, a cool breath suddenly came from the spiritual platform, which made him wake up temporarily, only to know that he didn't know when he was hallucinating, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

It is no wonder that there is a plot in the book where the king of Xuan has evil thoughts about the statue of Nuwa, and it turns out that he was fascinated by some kind of magic, so it is likely that the inscription of the poem is also a trick of others. Thinking of this, Zhang Zixing glanced at Nuwa with extreme contempt, who knew that the power of confusion was extremely powerful, and only then did he glance at it, and his mind began to be full of illusions again. Zhang Zixing knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly used his luck to resist, but the psychedelic feeling of this luck Xuangong became more and more intense, and the effect of the previous cool qi was getting lower and lower, even if Zhang Zixing bit the tip of his tongue, he couldn't use pain to dispel the illusion.

Fortunately, he is a scientist, and he knows that hallucinations are related to psychological suggestion, and at the moment he regards those fragrant illusions as nothing, but concentrates on reciting the name of Yuxian in his heart - when it comes to comprehensive charm, only Yuxian is a 24th-century beauty who combines wisdom, dexterity, gentleness, elegance, and charm, and has deep feelings with him, can compete with the best royal sister in front of him, which is equivalent to giving himself a stronger psychological suggestion.

Yuxian is worthy of being the most beloved woman in Zhang Zixing's heart, in the past, the two met, knew each other, fell in love, combined and even parted scenes such as movie playbacks, vividly, although they still failed to get rid of the illusion fundamentally, but they have imprisoned their minds in an illusion of their own, and are no longer disturbed by the evil thoughts.

It was only a few minutes from Zhang Zixing's hallucination to autosuggestion, and Nuwa didn't know what to do, and glanced at him in surprise, but saw this son of heaven staring at her face, revealing a silver expression, and couldn't help but be furious. At this time, I saw that his eyes suddenly straightened, and his expression changed rapidly, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, but his eyes became more and more empty.

What kind of character Nuwa was, she immediately noticed that something was wrong, her eyes fell on the three incense sticks in the golden incense burner, and her face immediately changed, and she said to herself: "Phantom Desire Incense?

With a flick of her sleeve, the three incense sticks disappeared suddenly, and at the same time, a strange pain came from Zhang Zixing's eyebrows, and with a sigh, her sanity finally returned to normal.

"What a saint Niangniang! Good intentions!" Zhang Zixing thought that she had deliberately set a trap to lure herself, and her tone was very indignant, but her eyes did not dare to look at her again.

(Today's second watch, there is another watch in the afternoon, as a long story, Diandian has its own outline and ideas, many plots are foreshadowing, and many of the later plots are implicated, and this book has not yet been put on the shelves, to say that the number of words is not suicide?, please be patient, in addition, Diandian only sleeps for up to 4 hours a day, and goes to work during the day, it is indeed hard, but I still persevered.
