When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 363 Have you ever seen how to punish gods to death?
There are still three days left before the big festival.

Xianyu Xiaozhu came with Meng Kuan to participate.

This time the ceremony was different from the previous ones. Xinqu intended to create a ceremony like a league meeting, so the ceremony and rehearsals had already begun.

When Xianyu Xiaozhu entered Changping City, he saw a sea of ​​people.

There are several people wearing ferocious "Nuo masks" and "masks of gods of various ethnic groups".Various dances are being performed among the gongs, drums, cymbals, and flags.

"With so many, aren't you afraid of something happening?"

Xianyu Xiaozhu looked at the people like Xin who were dancing in masks in shock.

The clothes they wear are all manifestations of the "ghost and god beliefs" of the small tribes that have been accepted by Xin Qu in the past three years.

A group of people are arranged in order, giving people a shocking feeling of a hundred ghosts walking at night, which is difficult to express.

Meng Kuang watched their dancing for a while. These "ghost and god masks" were all covered with cloth strips, or they were just painted on the faces of the people pretending to be ghosts and gods.

Then she remembered what Wu Xiaoye had told her. In order to solve the inertia of "ghost worship", Xin Qu required families who believed in the same "ghost and god" to take turns investing, paying tribute, or sending out members to participate in the annual festival.

For example, there were a total of 32 Che tribe families passing in front of them, and they believed in a "Tide God". Last year, Xinqu named the Che tribe's god "Chechuan Tide God" and moved Changping Shazeyi to Xiaodian. The artificial river dug in the middle of the lake was named Chechuan.

Then 32 of their households were arranged to live and cultivate land along the Chechuan River, allowing them to believe in their own gods and to be responsible for maintaining the Chechuan waterway.

If something goes wrong, it's your fault. Your god is not strong enough. When the time comes, don't blame him for splitting your tide god's throne and replacing it with the earth.

So, this year's grand festival began. The Che tribe sent out a "recipient" to wear a mask and represent the Chechuan tide god who came to the world to participate in the grand festival and pay tribute to the heaven and earth.

Then, four more mature men came out to carry the tribute.

Therefore, in the lively scene of banging and banging, you can see the "Chechuan Tide God" wearing a fish head mask, dancing the distinctive dance of their tribe, and playing in the snow.

Therefore, it is said that it is a grand festival, but it is better to say that it shows whether a certain "god believer" has developed well this year.

If you don't do enough to farm this year and don't do enough to get promoted, then your tribute will definitely be shabby.

Since he is shabby, he will naturally be looked down upon by others of the same faith and even his mortal enemies.

Therefore, Xianyu Xiaozhu felt shocked.

There are so many ghosts and gods with the Xin family!Has Xinqu never considered Guan Guan?
Are you really not afraid of internal strife and rebellion?
But the reality is that Xinqu's framework design is not bad, because he only retained the "ghosts and gods" believed by various tribes and conferred "gods" on them, but he also clearly told their tribesmen that if your "gods" break their promise, If a place is not protected, then the god will be demoted, and then the god's position will be split into the earth's position.

The land will only give priority to the victims of this disaster relief.

what does this mean?
This means that becoming a god is not just talk, almost everyone has a chance!
Xinqu reversed the rules of godhood for "natural spirits" and created the concept of "moral godhood" with "morality and meritorious service" as the core.

In other words, Xin Qu actually did not completely indulge the spread of "animated belief in ghosts and gods", but added "judgment" criteria. Of course, the final judgment of "morality becoming a god" is partly in the hands of the people, and partly in his Xinqu's hands. Bend the hand.

In disguise, the creation of "one god" is completed.

The concept of multiple gods and one god has never been about the image of a void and omnipotent god, but whether the concept of "Supreme God" is strong enough.

Just like the heavenly system created by Xin Qu, there is only one "Emperor" as the supreme ruler, and he is also trying to figure out how to shape himself into the "Emperor". As long as it is completed, Xinqu will be the emperor on earth, and then he will have control over everyone except the "Emperor" The life and death of all "gods" are at stake.

This is also a god!
Polytheism means checks and balances, the most typical of which is "Greek mythology".

The Chinese monotheistic system has always been about "the emperor doing justice for heaven." The emperor is the only supreme god in the world, and the emperor is supreme among the secular world.

Later, after the emperor evolved into an emperor, the emperor became the legal representative of the government with unlimited responsibility for one family and one surname.

If it doesn't work well, change the legal person.Therefore, with Xin's god, where the fiefdom is depends on Xin Qu's decision.

The god position Xinqu can be given all the time, and it is not a problem to even design a large person to fit a small person. The Xin family has the current god position system, which is the "official position" system, and gods also have to evaluate performance.

Therefore, every believer in "ghosts and gods" spares no effort to show how powerful the gods they believe in are.

Of course, no matter how powerful you are, you can still make mistakes and be punished.

For example, before Xianyu Xiaozhu and Meng Kuang could continue talking, a tune started to play in their ears, and a group of people carried a statue of a god, roared and danced, then carried the statue to the bonfire and threw it into the fire.

Several wizards screamed in the bonfire, singing obscure words, and then threw the sacred flag representing "Aquluo Hubo" and the "spiritual tablet" given by Xinqu on behalf of the Xin family in the bonfire. side.

Then a lame man wearing a "red-faced mask of Angry Eyes King Kong" picked up a golden "axe" and chanted: "By the order of the Lord of the World, we will eliminate the name of the evil god Kangtai from the people around Luan Lake!"

Immediately, he swung his ax and smashed the tablets into pieces, then swept them all and threw them into the fire.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!!!"

The dancer was dancing the war dance at the bottom.

"Aquluo has been removed from his status as a god and demoted to an evil spirit. When he is ready to be sacrificed to heaven, he will ask the Emperor of Heaven to punish him!"

The lame man shouted loudly, "Babbling--there is Xin's Aqi from the sacrifice, and I have cut him off at the beginning! Please take him into custody in heaven!"

"boom!"

A handful of salt was thrown into the fire by the wizard, and then the flames jumped, as if in response to their request.

"Tomorrow, I will ask the realm to settle Aquluo's sins."

Just when the two of them were shocked, a voice came, which made Xianyu Xiaozhu even more horrified: "Uncle, what did you say? Are you judging ghosts and gods?"

No wonder Xianyu Xiaozhu was shocked, have you ever seen how to punish gods to death?
Who has seen it?He is the only one with the Xin family who dares to do this!

"Of course." Xin Qu crossed his arms, "To judge a god, a preliminary judgment is required. As the patriarch, I will certify the ghosts and gods who do not protect the people and judge whether they are guilty or not.

If he is guilty, the ghosts and gods in question will be eliminated from the first day of the sacrifice on behalf of the people three days before the start of the big sacrifice, and his status will be weakened.

Tomorrow, Congjier will ask the local community to settle the sins of the ghosts and gods involved, and report the number of deaths and losses, as well as the livestock we have sacrificed over the years. The local community will judge the balance to see if it is because of poor sacrifices or because he did things poorly.

Finally, on the third day, I judged Aquluo's life, death and punishment according to the instructions of the Emperor of Heaven. "

Xianyu Xiaozhu's heart pounded and he swallowed his saliva. He didn't expect Xin Qu to be so direct.

If you say the phrase "to decide the life and death of ghosts and gods" in such a common way, aren't you afraid of being retaliated by ghosts and gods?
Meng Kui, on the other hand, felt a little relieved when she saw this little man say such confident words.

You want to know what the general environment is at this time?Respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them. Any ghosts and gods may be fatal. If you can't afford to provoke them, don't provoke them.

Even if they want to be provoked, it will be a tribe that is a mortal enemy, so they will directly point at the enemy's patronizing ghosts and curse.

But like Xin Qu, he is probably the first one to directly announce a penalty because of a slight mistake and failure to take care of personnel.

how to say?This kind of confidence was too damaging to her.

"Okay, the first session is over today, and the rehearsal is over. Tomorrow they will go through another round of the process, and the day after tomorrow will be the main event. Now that you are here, come with me. It just so happens that I plan to plunder slaves to the west next year. Since Hijikata is an ally , I also need you to ask your father, how about we go to Qiongfang together?"

When Xin Qu said this, Xian Yu Xiaozhu looked serious. Putting aside the matters of ghosts and gods, Xin Qu was very interested in Qiong Fang's idea.
