Soul-Slaying Girl: All the contracts I contracted are ancient divine weapons.

Chapter 866 Accepting a Disciple
"Jiang Ziya..."

Han Zhan opened his mouth slightly, a little surprised, because he was a famous celebrity.

If I think about it carefully, it seems reasonable that I would meet Jiang Ziya since I am Ji Fa.

However, if the white-haired old man in front of him was Jiang Ziya, Han Zhan's credibility in the ancestral temple would be greatly improved.

"Yanshi?" Han Zhan saluted Jiang Ziya respectfully, then looked at the young man behind him and asked.

Chang Hao showed a look of surprise on his face.

"You even know this? You are indeed a great man who can be compared with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in the future. You have such a vision even though you started from a humble background."

Chang Hao said with emotion.

Han Zhan didn't know why Chang Hao had such feelings.

He was able to recognize Yanshi simply because he had used Yanshi's antique props before.

When standing on the shoulders of a star official over three meters tall, more details are revealed in front of you.

Han Zhan finally realized that the so-called star officials were actually puppets controlled by Yanshi.

No wonder the body shape is so weird and so different from normal humans.

After a brief acquaintance, Jiang Ziya continued:

"You are a rough jade that still needs to be carved. Even though you have life force, you still need to guide it well."

"The teachings of my ancestral temple are to protect the people, to protect them from the punishment of the gods, and to allow them to enjoy the blessing of dawn."

"Jifa, are you willing to become my disciple?"

Jiang Ziya extended an invitation to Han Zhan.

Such a scene made Han Zhan a little dazed for a moment.

Once upon a time, I also had a master who asked me the same question.

Thinking of this, Han Zhan lowered his eyes again, folded his hands in front of him, bowed slightly and said:
"I would like to be your disciple, Master."

His current identity is Ji Fa. Considering the main storyline, becoming Jiang Ziya's disciple should be the key decision to advance the main storyline.

Perhaps in addition to the sect, there are other forces to choose from, but the one that Han Zhan can currently access, and the one that he can access the fastest, is the ancestral temple.

The purpose of the Jongmyo Temple and its reputation among the people are both quite good, which is why Han Zhan decided to join.

Hearing Han Zhan nod in agreement, Jiang Ziya smiled and nodded.

Behind him, Chang Hao also looked happy. Just as he was about to say something, Jiang Ziya patted him on the back of his head.

"What are you still doing?"

"Hurry up and finish the blessing, and then send us back. You are so impatient, when can you calm down a little?"

As soon as Jiang Ziya spoke, Chang Hao immediately restrained his expression, stood up straight, and began to complete the task conscientiously.

After scolding Chang Hao, Jiang Ziya turned around and looked at Han Zhan, a smile appeared on his face again.

This is really... Han Zhan still doesn't know what virtue or ability he has to make Jiang Ziya smile at him.

"Jifa, since you have accepted me as your master, you can ask me if you have any questions."

Jiang Ziya said with a smile.

With his words, Han Zhan did not hesitate and asked directly:
"Star official puppets are a means of the ancestral temple, but they can clearly bless the people, so why are they usually so stingy?"

Han Zhan asked directly, and Jiang Ziya not only did not feel offended, but nodded with satisfaction.

"He cares about the people and doesn't act high and mighty just because he joined the ancestral temple. That's great."

"There are two reasons for your question. The first reason is that blessing can bring various special blessings to the people and help improve their lives. However, too many blessings can easily cause instability."

Han Zhan nodded slightly when he heard this, and he had a deep understanding of the unstable factors that Jiang Ziya mentioned.

People's hearts are unpredictable.

Desire is endless. When a person obtains power that does not belong to him, he may make any choice. Don't test human nature.

"The second reason is that the blessing is not unconditional. The Star Official Puppet needs to consume Starlight Stones to bless the people."

"Starstone?" Han Zhan repeated.

"That's right. Starlight stone is the key material for resisting the sun. It needs to be obtained through human sacrifice. Grind it into powder and dissolve it in water. It can be applied to wood and stone to resist the high temperature and radiation of the sun."

"Therefore, the number of Starlight Stones needs to be strictly controlled. It is impossible to bless them on such a large scale like today every day."

Jiang Ziya's explanation gave Han Zhan a better understanding of the world.

The human sacrifice mentioned by Jiang Ziya reminded Han Zhan of another doubt he had before.

"What exactly was summoned by the human sacrifice? Why was it that they were swallowed into the mouth, but they could still appear alive the next day?"

This was also a problem that plagued the Korean War.

Jiang Ziya hesitated for a moment.

He just flicked his sleeves and pinched his fingers, and an invisible wind enveloped them, blocking out their conversation and making it inaudible.

Jiang Ziya then continued:
"The object of sacrifice is naturally the high and mighty gods."

"God?"

"Yes, they look down upon the human world from a high position. If their demands are not met, they will bring down divine punishment and cause all living beings to suffer."

"The existence of the ancestral temple is to communicate with the gods and let them reduce the punishment on ordinary people."

"This is one of the effects of the sacrifice."

"As for your claim of resurrection from the dead, that's not true. In fact, it's a trick."

A trick? Han Zhan was stunned for a moment when he heard Jiang Ziya's answer.

Soon, an answer emerged in his mind like lightning.

"I understand, it's the Yanshi puppet!"

Jiang Ziya looked at Han Zhan and nodded with satisfaction, "You are indeed very smart. Yes, it is the Yanshi puppet."

"The ceremony is real, and the people being sacrificed are real too. The only difference is that they were replaced when the star officials selected them and sent them to the altar."

The starlight released by the star officials when selecting sacrificial personnel, in addition to observing the qi, also has the effect of confusing the vision.

Then, in the process of being sent to the altar, the real person was replaced by the Yanshi puppet, and then swallowed by the giant mouth, completing a "deception of the sky".

"Those puppets are made of special materials, with 'blood' and 'flesh'. In the process of being swallowed and chewed by the gods, they will absorb the unique characteristics of the gods."

"After spitting them out again, they will become starlight stones. This is the origin of starlight stones."

It turned out to be the case.

After Jiang Ziya's explanation, Han Zhan suddenly understood.

The human sacrifice ceremony was a thorn in his heart regarding the ancestral temple.

Although they don't say it, it's hard to have a good impression when people are summoned to sacrifice their lives to the gods.

After more details were revealed, he also saw the good intentions of the ancestral temple.

When all the confusion and knots in your heart are gone.

Han Zhan's recognition of the ancestral temple increased significantly.

While they were talking, Chang Hao was conscientiously completing the task assigned to him by Jiang Ziya.

After all the blessings were over, the star officials began to return to the altar.

Han Zhan stood on Xingguan's shoulder and waved to Tong Yi and Tong Er in the crowd as a farewell.

Then, he followed Jiang Ziya and Chang Hao to the ancestral temple.
