I had a vague feeling that something was not right with Shenting.

Since that day when Nuwa Temple offered sacrifices and the Black Turtle God entered the divine realm, the remaining high priests except her died suddenly within a few days, and most of the priests in the Nine Towers disappeared.

Hao Xiaonian naturally knew that this was the king's move. Her family had not been affected, but her mother was under house arrest.

The priest was secretly eliminated by the king, and the divine court did not respond at all.

Hao Xiaonian also knows a fact - only when you pray to the gods, the gods will respond. Otherwise, even if the priests of the gods are dead, the gods will not care much.

It's as if the god doesn't care about its believers.

As the only working Great Witch Festival, Hao Xiaonian was summoned to the palace almost every day to have banquets with the king.

Xiao Nian has also heard that the king intends to betroth a prince to her to be her husband.

Logically, marriages cannot be made during the Great Witch Festival. This move by the King also intends to break the tradition of the Great Witch Festival, and I really want to listen to the King's wishes. From now on, only one Great Witch Festival will be enough, and priests from all over the country must come every three to five years.

Report your duties at the Great Witch Festival and pay your respects.

So little thought that I am smart too.

She thought about it carefully and understood that the king wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to take back the power of the priests from the founding of the Shang Kingdom and even from the Great Xia Kingdom to the king's hands.

Hao Xiaonian received a year and a half of 'training' in the tower before becoming the Great Witch Sacrifice, and also knew the origin of the Witch Sacrifice.

During the Great Xia Kingdom, shaman priests were already active in various places, and sometimes they would even dominate the king.

According to the bamboo slips and turtle shells handed down from the witch festival, in the era of the Great Xia Kingdom, the Shang Kingdom was originally just a tribe active in the eastern region of the earth. They were good at raising buffaloes, and the buffaloes carried various goods among various tribes and tribes.

I bartered for things in the ancient country and had connections with all forces, and I also got to know a lot of shamans and priests.

Later, for some unknown reason, the king of Daxia began to arrest witch priests on a large scale, and the shaman priests fled in all directions.

At that time, the witch festivals were not just about praying to the gods. The shaman priests were in charge of the books, myths, stories of various tribes, and even various craftsmanship skills were passed down by the shaman priests.

Later, the Wuji and Shang tribes joined forces. The two complemented each other and marched eastward. The Shang Kingdom spent hundreds of years of efforts to unite most of the tribes. The Fang Kingdom replaced the Daxia Kingdom and became the new master of the earth.

.

Xiaonian didn't know if it was right or not. These were taught to her by the old witch priests, and the records on those turtle shell bamboo slips were similar.

But now, the king of the Shang Kingdom began to do what the king of the Great Xia Kingdom once tried to do - massacre the witches and sacrifices.

This makes Hao Xiaonian a little worried, worried that something unexpected will happen to the merchant.

Hao Xiaonian has also been waiting for the Lord God King to entrust her with a dream, so that she would have the opportunity to talk to the Lord God King about this matter.

But what makes Hao Xiaonian feel a little speechless is...

The God King seemed to have forgotten her.

It's been so long, and that kind-hearted old man hasn't even given her a message.

'Maybe it's because the Great Black Turtle is reorganizing the Divine Court.'

I thought about it so little without feeling disappointed.

She did not know that the Spring God had been replaced;

When the last Spring God was smashed by Li Ping'an with a punch, Hao Xiaonian also woke up from a nightmare, sweating profusely, and always felt like something weird and terrifying had happened.

It's late at night again.

Hao Xiaonian finished handling the selection of several new priests, let a group of old witch priests leave, and climbed back to the top of the tower.

The portrait of the god she enshrines here has been replaced by the Black Turtle God.

Hao Xiaonian did as usual, knelt down in front of the portrait of the god and prayed quietly for a while. Then she felt sleepy and went to the wooden bed in the corner to fall asleep.

As soon as she closed her eyes, a familiar slight dizziness came over her, making her feel happy in her heart.

The fog appeared and receded, and I saw a field covered with rice fields, and saw a man standing under a tree with his hands behind his back...

"Lord God King!"

Hao Xiaonian immediately ran over and shouted with joy:

"You finally remembered me!"

"Um?"

Li Ping'an turned around, and now he was in the image of the white-robed God King. When he saw this lively girl, he couldn't help but smile a little more.

He said slowly: "The Black Turtle is reorganizing the God Realm. I have a lot of things to do to help, so I haven't been able to come over to meet you... You have done a good job in everything before."

"Hey," Hao Xiaonian pursed her lips and smiled, blinked again, and whispered, "Lord God King, have the problems in the God Realm been solved?"

"It will take some time for things to improve."

Li Pingan sighed:

"The gods in the divine world have fallen for a long time and do not care about life, death, misfortunes and blessings in the world. It will not take a day to eradicate these problems.

"Okay, I have many things to tell you here."

Hao Xiaonian nodded quickly: "That's what you say!"

"Human sacrifice of human animals needs to be gradually banned."

Li Pingan said:

"Now that you are the Great Witch Sacrifice, I will give you a lot of help. King Shang is trying to return the divine power to the royal power.

"You will write a letter later to remind King Shang that he can also become a great witch priest.

"I will entrust a dream to the King of Shang, asking him to replace human animals with cattle, sheep, dogs and other domestic animals. Starting from the capital of the Shang King, it will be gradually promoted to the outside world. I don't expect this to be done in one step. After all, things like concepts are sometimes difficult to change.

But we must gradually reduce the number of human sacrifices in a planned way.”

"Yes," Xiao Nian nodded firmly and agreed, "Xiao Nian has remembered it!"

Li Pingan nodded with a smile and said:

"The second thing is about the Holy Mother Temple and Xuanyuan Huangdi.

"The incense in the Holy Mother Temple cannot be stopped. From now on, it should become one of the chief gods of the Shang Kingdom. Emperor Xuanyuan Huang is one of the three emperors in ancient times. His contribution to the human race is extremely huge, and the incense cannot be stopped.

"You are the great wizard. I will teach you some paper-making methods later. If you have the opportunity, you should spread these stories in the mortal world."

"yes!"

So Xiao Nian agreed crisply.

Li Ping'an thought about it and realized that there wouldn't be much that the little girl would need to do in the future.

Of course, he is not a black-hearted capitalist like his father, who would not just let people work without benefiting them.

Li Ping'an thought for a moment and raised his left hand.

Hao Xiaonian blinked, hurriedly moved forward, bowed his head obediently, and was placed on his head by the palm of the Lord God King's hand, rubbing it gently.

"You are a good boy," Li Ping'an said, "I will give you some magical power. Although it cannot make you go to heaven or earth, it can make you free from illness and disaster, and keep you healthy."

"Thank you, Lord God King..."

Hao Xiaonian whispered: "Sir, I have something to report."

She elaborated on her concerns about King Shang's massacre of witch rituals.

Li Ping'an shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I predict that Wu Ji will have a counterattack against the royal power in the future. This is also a rule, and you don't have to participate in it."

"Yes," Hao Xiaonian sighed, "I am lucky that my family is not affected."

Li Ping'an thought about it and asked warmly: "Have you ever thought about what will happen in the next life?"

"Eh?" Hao Xiaonian was startled for a moment.

Li Ping'an cleared his throat: "This question is a bit abrupt. What I want to say is that when you die, I can take you away to a broader and more wonderful world, and let you live another life and be my disciple. You

Are you willing?"

"Yes, yes!" Xiao Nian suddenly jumped for joy, "Of course Xiao Nian is willing! Thank you God King...Thank you Master!"

"You girl, you react quickly enough."

Li Ping'an raised his hand and pointed a finger, and a lotus flower appeared on her forehead, but it directly locked onto her soul.

When her life is over, Li Ping'an will feel something.

'Did the good women in my hometown's history die a good death?'

Li Ping'an didn't know much about this either. After all, he studied chemistry.

He answered a few more questions from Hao Xiaonian and ended the dream.

From a distance, Li Ping'an, who was sitting in the corner of the divine court, lowered his head and glanced at Hao Xiaonian, who was sleeping soundly in the tower of the royal capital, and shook his head with a smile.

The next matter can be resolved within the Divine Court.

I was gently pulled a few times by someone on the side.

Li Ping'an turned around and saw that the old faint god was raising his hand to gesture with something, so he dispelled the barrier around his ears.

The deafening sound that filled the hall penetrated my ears;
To be continued...
