Chapter nine hundred and eighty fourth sacrifice
"Wu Yi, how dare he? He is not afraid... Well? It's successful, but unfortunately, my human race is going to be proud again. Come on, and I'm going to see someone off!"
"How dare you fight against the sky? Wu Yi really deserves a lot of guilt... This, this is impossible! Impossible! How can a person... Well... Hahaha, so what if you succeed? The sky is so vast and vast. Even if you can hurt a hair, it is only one hundred thousand trillion, it is useless! Useless!"
"Is this? What did Wu Yi want to do...has it been a pity. However, this move is an opportunity. Come on, go to Yuqingdao to invite the national master! I said I have something to discuss!"
"Someone wants to go against the heavens? It's really not just about life or death. How is the emperor of the world a rival to heaven? Come and prepare the sacrifices. I will hold a ceremony for sacrifices later... This, he actually succeeded! The emperor of the world actually hurts the heavens! This... this... no, no... he succeeded, which means that heaven is not invincible, so I..."
Various sounds sounded in the palaces of the princes and kings, as well as the buildings where many tribal leaders lived.
Most of the monarchs standing on the side of the human race are regretful, nervous, and a little worried.
The king who defected to the Emperor of Heaven was furious, frightened, and a little bit of gratitude.
Some of the ambitious people also had an undeserved desire when they saw Wu Yi’s success.
But no matter which one it is, they all acquiesced to a rumor spread within their own princes.
"Wu Yi is indecisive, the disaster is caused by shooting the sky, the gods are angry and thunder, and Wu Yi is shocked to death."
The short sixteen words spread more and more widely. Most people who hear about them only mock Wu Yi's arrogance, while those who know a little about the inside story know that the world is going to be in chaos.
Wu Yi's actions of Shooting the Sky had an impact on the forces that worshipped the Emperor of Heaven within the Shang Dynasty, which was beyond ordinary people's expectations.
Even because of this action, it directly impacted the original Shinto belief system, so that after Wen Ding took office, he could only focus on governing the country's belief issue and was unable to fight abroad.
For this reason, he had to reuse some vassal states. At this time, the Zhou State Ji Li caught Wen Ding's eyes.
The Zhou State was located west of the Shang Dynasty and most believed in the Yuqing Road.
In the Shang Dynasty, after Wu Yi Shooting the Sky, the status of Shangqing Dao rose again, and some three generations of direct disciples under Yuchen's sect joined the Shang Dynasty, which was an important reliance for Wending to suppress some gods' rebellion.
In order to help Shangqing Dao assist himself more, suppress the princes and stabilize the situation, Wen Ding enthroned the official position of Shangqing Dao disciples, while adopting a policy of gentleness against the Zhou State at that time, and while giving a lot of rewards, he ordered Zhou State to protect the peace of the country.
Ji Li, the king of Zhou, took the rewards of Wen Ding without any politeness, and guarding An Ning was a bit out of style. He directly distorted Wen Ding's meaning and launched foreign wars to attack the rebellious officials. He also destroyed several small countries on the side that the Shang Dynasty used to monitor Zhou in the early years.
Afterwards, Ji Li also destroyed the inheritance of these countries on the grounds that they defected to foreign enemies, and used his royal heads and many citizens and wealth to Wending as spoils.
This was done without any loss, and Wen Ding could not find any fault. He could only confer Ji Li as a "priest", which represented him as the leader of the Western vassal states. He could also be called Bo Chief, who specialized in expeditions and despairs.
Wen Ding's original idea was to use this to stir up the relationship between Zhou State and other Western vassal states, and to let Zhou State help stabilize the situation.
But Ji Li, with the help of the monks of Yuqingdao, attacked three large tribes in the West in a row and gave the heads of their leaders to Wen Ding.
Wen Ding was very angry when he saw this because these three tribes had surrendered to the Shang Dynasty, which was well known.
But, Ji Li had the right to conquer the unjust officials and showed three evidence of the rebellion of the tribe leader, and Wending had no way to punish him.
In addition, after two battles, the land area of Zhou State was nearly doubled, and a lot of land suitable for planting was added, and the national strength had increased significantly. Wen Ding could not have been able to call Ji Li, and then imprisoned and killed him. Afterwards, he said that Ji Li died of illness and gave Zhou State a lot of compensation, which at the same time cut off their right to conquer the rebellious officials.
Later, Wen Ding was not at ease and enthroned Jiang, E and Chong respectively in three directions, respectively, as well as pastors and Bo Chang.
People who are good at making good use of these three kingdoms together with the Zhou Kingdom at the beginning, called them the four great kingdoms.
Since then, most of the turmoil in the Shang Dynasty has been calmed down, and Wen Ding has gone out to attack the deceased several times, but unfortunately, most of them are just small victories, and by the time he died, he has never conquered more land.
After Wen Ding, Di Yi succeeded to the throne. When he took office, the national strength of the Shang Dynasty had already begun to decline.
Moreover, people often tempted him in the vassal states, which made him tired of dealing with them. In order to address these situations, Di Yi increased his efforts to win over Shangqing Road, and on the other hand, he began to think about marrying the three princes in the south and north.
Finally, when he left, he left a country full of crisis but still strong for the next emperor Xin.
At the first time when Emperor Xin succeeded to the throne, whether it was the Taoist Tongtian in the East China Sea or the Taoist Guangcheng who sat upright and in their respective temples, they all stood up and looked at Middle Earth.
Since the beginning of Shetian, Shang's energy that had been nurtured for hundreds of years has finally taken shape.
"The heavenly aura that belongs to humanity! Emperor Xin is the last struggle of the Shang Dynasty!"
Tongtian looked at Emperor Xin, who inherited the throne and promoted to the emperor's position, and through the numerous human races, he saw a little heavenly aura hidden behind Emperor Xin.
This is a ray of heavenly energy seized after Wu Yi shot the sky, and was nurtured by repeated sacrifices, representing the last struggle of the human race, or the Shang Dynasty. Once Emperor Xin dies, this ray of breath will enter the winner's body.
At the same time, a ray of purple and yellow energy fell down one after another and merged into the Zhou Kingdom.
Among them, the purple qi comes from the Emperor of Heaven, which contains the power of the stars in the sky, and the yellow qi comes from the Emperor of Human Emperor Xuanyuan, which contains the energy of Emperor Xuanyuan.
After the former fell into the Zhou Kingdom, it quickly stimulated the national destiny accumulated over hundreds of years, making it more vigorous. When the latter fell into it, it was trying to stabilize the thrilling energy, not to be too ostentatious, and leave more pre-giving.
What's amazing is that there is a big conflict between the purple and yellow qi.
At this time, Ji Chang, the leader of the Zhou Dynasty, was proficient in the innate Eight Trigrams passed down by Emperor Fuxi. He felt that his country's aura had changed, so he hurriedly went to the ancestral temple to make divination.
In addition to the ancestors of the Zhou Dynasty, there are also the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and all the human sages.
Ji Chang picked up the turtle shell enshrined on the altar, put the yarrow into it, prayed silently, and opened his hands easily.
The accumulated volunteer power in the ancestral temple gathered into golden flames, which slowly burned around the turtle shell.
The yarrows that emit purple and green energy inside also burned one after another, turning into black marks and falling on the turtle shell.
According to the usual divination process, new patterns should be formed on the turtle shell at this time, showing future secrets or changes in good or bad luck.
But this time the traces are very special, and the good and bad are hard to determine. Many traces represent the meaning of each other, just like two different futures are intertwining each other.
Ji Chang was secretly frightened and reached out to outline a series of illusory gossip patterns, blessing them on the mouth of the turtle shell, trying to sweep away unnecessary interference and make the future clearer. However, this action directly triggered two breaths inside. The shell of the ten thousand-year-old spirit turtle that had been worshipped for hundreds of years in the Zhou Dynasty and was scattered directly, turning into countless pieces, scattering.
Ji Chang hurriedly retreated and watched the tortoise shell fragments fly towards the surrounding tablets, and the statue of the god flew.
I wanted to stop it, but my own power was backfired by previous divination and was unable to move. Many tablets and divine power on the statue were also dim because of the previous blessing of the turtle shell and deducing the future.
It was also at this time that a clear light fell and pressed down the turtle shell. Then an old man with white hair entered and bowed to Ji Chang and said, "I have seen the king. The old man has come late to rescue him, so I ask the king to atone for his sins."
"Uncle, how polite!"
Ji Chang helped the old man up, told him what he had seen and heard just now, and asked: "Uncle, you worshipped in Yuqing Dao in your early years. Now you are a monk in the fairyland and are proficient in the methods of predicting the future. How can you know this scene? "
When the old man with white hair heard this, he didn't dare to say anything. He took out a pillar of fragrance from his sleeve and handed it to Ji Chang and said, "This thing was passed on to me by my teacher when I went down the mountain. He said that it could be opened if an accident occurred, but I think it was for this time."
Ji Chang was shocked when he heard this. He knew that his uncle was worshipped by Taoist Guangcheng, and this one was said to be one of the teachers of Emperor Huang of Xuanyuan in the past. Although this matter is rarely recorded, His Majesty Huangdi has never shown any miracles and punished him. There should be no big problem.
In Ji Chang's view, such a character should have good supernatural powers, so he stood up and thanked him and lit the fragrance.
Taoist Guangcheng, who had been prepared for a long time, directly lowered his mind and met Ji Chang, and told Ji Chang the truth in a blunt way.
"Your Zhou Dynasty already contains energy and quantity, which is one of the reasons why we, Yuqingdao, chose your Zhou Kingdom. Then, your father Ji Li adhered to the energy and took advantage of the situation, accumulating enough basic foundation for you, and then sacrificed himself to gain more time for you. Now the Shang Dynasty is like the setting sun in the west, and your Zhou Kingdom is on the rising sun in the east, and your Qi is full of energy. Therefore, the two Majesties, Heavenly Emperor and Human Emperor, both bet on the Zhou Kingdom. In the future, there will inevitably be two of your descendants, who adhere to the energy of Heavenly Emperor and Huang Emperor, and gather the energy of Humanity."
Ji Chang frowned and said, "Dare you dare to ask the real person, do you know who is in charge of the heavenly emperor's aura and which is in charge of the Yellow Emperor's aura?"
When he said this, a trace of murderous intent appeared in Ji Chang's eyes that ordinary people could not detect.
Although Taoist Guangcheng is not an ordinary person, this place is the ancestral temple of Zhou Kingdom. The two of them were separated by incense and could not see Ji Chang's thoughts clearly.
He just told the other party what he knew: "The two majesties, Heavenly Emperor and Huangdi, are also super-class among the immortals and gods. Although I have few supernatural powers, they are far inferior to the two. How can we see through the layout of the two?"
When Ji Chang heard this, he sighed and asked again.
Taoist Guangcheng answered one by one, and at the same time reached an agreement with Ji Chang to allow more Yuqing Taoist disciples to come to Zhou State to help, greatly enhancing Zhou State's energy.
On the other side, some monks who advocated sacrifice and were good at divination, who noticed that the Zhou Dynasty's energy had changed, also wrote letters to make suggestions, hoping to attract the attention of the Shang Dynasty.
Emperor Xin, who knew about this, also knew that it was not good, but Ji Chang did not make any mistakes, and he was not good at directly suing the crime. He turned to attack the Yifang who rebeled from the Shang Dynasty and tried to deter all sides in this way.
In the early stages of this move, it did play a certain role, which made many vassal states stable.
But as time went by, Emperor Xin himself was also affected by the decline of his country's destiny. He was talented, had excellent eloquence, quick action, strong acceptance ability, and was born with extraordinary divine power. Before he inherited the emperor's position, he was able to fight only with many Jinzhidi lands. He could be said to have grown up with the praise of everyone.
In addition, Emperor Xin defeated Yi Fang for the first time, which made him even more arrogant.
His wisdom began to become a powerful tool for him to refuse advice from his subordinates, and his words were the curtain to cover up his fault.
Gradually, Emperor Xin could only listen to the boast of the ministers and just wanted to uplift himself everywhere, thinking that no one in the world could compare to him.
It can be said that if there was no Wen Zhong, who had not joined the Shang Dynasty during the reign of Wen Ding, and had been named the Grand Tutor by Emperor Yi for three dynasties, and had taken over the former artifact of Yi Yin to beat Wang Jinbian from him, Emperor Xin would have long become a foolish monarch.
"This can't continue! If Your Majesty continues to do this, how can Shang Dynasty revive?"
Wen Zhong, who received the news from Zhou, became more worried when he thought of the appearance of God Xin in the court, so he found an opportunity to find Shangdao Shang Rong. Ya Bigan discussed, hoping to borrow the power of other gods to stabilize the state of Emperor Xin.
"We are secretly anxious when we see the changes in Your Majesty. But his current changes are essentially the changes in the country's fortunes, and it is a summary of the problems left by the past thirty generations of emperors. Even if you, the Grand Master, who is in charge of the golden whip left by Yi Sheng in the past, can only suppress one or two, but cannot be eradicated. It can be seen that this matter is definitely not something that ordinary immortals can solve."
As a senior doctor, Shang Rong had the power that was no less than the Jinzhi gods, and the convenience brought by his power and status made him know the real problems facing Emperor Xin. However, due to his identity, he did not know much about the real power, so he could only look at Wen Zhong and said: "I am frank, today, apart from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and the One in Heaven, there are still gods who can do this?"
In comparison, Bi Gan, as a descendant of the Shang Dynasty, only knew that there were more things. He interrupted Shang Rong's inquiry and looked at Wen Zhong and said, "The Grand Master is looking for me to come here. Someone should have chosen me. I don't know what gifts I need to prepare?"
When Wen Zhong heard this, he knew that Bigan was a man who wanted to invite his ancestor Tongtian Taoist to join the game. He hurriedly denied it and said, "I have two candidates, one is the former Mother of Earth, and the other is the Mother of Creation."
When Bigan heard this, he said in surprise: "I still know about Mother Earth. Who is the Mother of Creation?"
"This god is also what I heard from the ancestor. It is said that it is the mother of all acquired spirits between heaven and earth, and all acquired spirits are conceived from her hands. They have the ability to create humans and replenish the heavens. Although they have lived in seclusion, they are the most famous god in this world."
"The power of creating human beings?"
Bi Gan repeated the sentence and frowned and said, "This ability should not be unrecorded. If you have to sacrifice, I think it is enough to propose the merit of replenishing the sky, which can also cover up the affairs of the first emperors of Wuyi."
Shang Rong didn't think so, shook his head and said, "It's not possible. This matter is related to the rise and fall of the country. Compared to the unknown Mother of Creation, I think Mother Earth is more suitable."
Wen Zhong followed up with his own opinions. The three of them discussed several rounds, but finally chose the Mother of Earth and made suggestions to Emperor Xin on the second day.
