Chapter 159: Destiny Black Bird, Descendant of Great Shang?!
"Praise the Lord God! Continue the ceremony! Drink the divine blood wine and bear the mark of flesh and blood!"
The extremely cold sacrifice was cruel and short, and the warm vitality condensed into ice, and then burned and melted in the flames. Soon, cups of cold blood wine were handed over to the hands of the deer captives, and they drank them all under the supervision of the kingdom's warriors.
.Then, the painful bloody emblem was carved on their foreheads with a stone knife. This was an eternal mark, and it seemed to be imprinted in their souls.
"Praise the Lord! My god Huitzilopochtli controls all life and death!..."
The blood oath ceremony of conversion was filled with the blood that could not be converted, and the green smoke of burning hair was flying. Groups of Lubu prisoners were either numb, fearful, or resentful, kneeling before the holy fire and the priest, accepting the
Mysterious and terrifying shamanic witchcraft. When the shocking shamanic magic is completed, the "Shaman God" in the sky seems to have taken away their souls and all will to resist.
"Praise the Lord! My god Huitzilopochtli?..."
Groups of Lu tribe prisoners looked dazed and stood up with difficulty, chanting the name of the main god with unknown meaning in their mouths. Their faces were full of deep awe and inexplicable fearful obedience.
Seeing such an expression, Zuvalo, who was presiding over the sacrifice, raised the corners of his mouth and nodded secretly in his heart. The Mexica people are good at offering sacrifices, and they are also good at using mysterious and bloody rituals to shock people's hearts and rebuild their faith!
The performance of these deer captives after experiencing the festival was the same as those tribes who were converted during the kingdom's war. They were in the first stage of disintegration of faith and spirit and initial conversion to the main god. Then, they prayed to the main god with high intensity and chanted the god all day long.
name, the food given by the priests in the name of the main god, and the forehead emblem that reminds them all the time... will lead him to the second stage of being a believer of the main god. After that, he has to rely on years of prayers and the constant guidance of the priests.
There are also the battles and rewards of the divine war... Only by making the faith of the Lord God a part of their lives can they gradually develop into devout believers of the Lord God. And if there is a miracle, whether it is a divine prophecy or a more mysterious ritual,
The hot air balloon "Eye of the Lord" is the most suitable for missionary work, which can greatly speed up the spread and consolidation of faith!
"Praise the Lord God! He is supreme, great and omnipotent! From today on, you dedicate your soul, body and blood to the sublime Lord God! And from today on, you are the returning Jiaoren brothers!..."
With an approving smile on his face, Zuvarro watched the more than 400 captives of the Deer Tribe, all of whom had accepted the Blood Oath. Then, with a solemn expression, he looked at the end of the team, the nineteen captured Dachun tribesmen.
"Witness the Lord God! It's your turn...Blood oath! Convert! Life or death!..."
"Ah! Buddha!...This...such a tribe of shaman gods that worships blood sacrifices is so ignorant, cruel and mysterious!...Can they actually control the mysterious blue fire and the thunder in the sky?..."
Murakami Jidong, the ship's attendant, was trembling, and his hands and feet were trembling. First, his scalp was numb, and he looked at the altar where deer, wolves and humans were sacrificed. Then, with fear on his face, he looked at the blue and dazzling flames,
With the strange smoking golden cylinder, he knelt down before the holy fire.
"The Lord God witnesses! Your hair will be burned in the fire, and you will take your divided soul to the distant kingdom of God and hand it over to the supreme Lord God!... Come, the Lord God will bless you! Drink up the blood wine given by God!..."
Murakami felt a chill on his head, and the samurai's Tsukiyo hair was immediately cut off and thrown into the fire. Then, he tremblingly picked up the blood wine, and under the solemn gaze of the kingdom's warriors, drank it down in one sip! Until his throat was neutralized.
His heart was covered with the indelible smell of blood, so he was confused, and the priests carved the emblem of the main god on his forehead one stroke at a time. When the ceremony was over, he touched the mark of the god and Buddha on his forehead.
Then he looked at Zuvalo, the cunning leader in witch robes, and then with a sad face, he began to pray in a low voice along with the priests of the main god.
"Bless the Lord God! Bless the Lord God Jiaoren who is the incarnation of the Buddha of Light in the East! I, Jitong Murakami, am willing to believe in you, the Great God Buddha of the Eastern Sea!... Please bless me so that one day I can return to my hometown and see my master again... If I can get it back
With all the skin and gold of the glue man, I will definitely erect a statue for you and worship it continuously every day!...Ah! The Great Buddha of Huitzilopochtli!..."
Hearing Murakami Kitichi's prayer, the monk soldier Watanabe Masumi pursed his lips and said nothing. He was born in the direct line of the samurai family in Kitakyushu. He grew up listening to the stories of Yuan invaders and went to the coast of Korea to plunder. He was not like
The ignorant Ezo samurai has never seen anything.
"Hiss! Hachiman Bodhisattva! This group of blood-sacrifice Jiaoren tribe actually has two Yuan Kou and Ming Kingdom fire tubes? Or pure bronze fire tubes? This is a truly powerful weapon... Hey! That blue flame is burning.
What kind of medicinal powder? It smells like the smoke from the Immortal Mountain (Mount Fuji)... Hiss! The Immortal Mountain, the Immortal Black Bird... Could it be? Could it be! Yes! The Chinese they also use is the same as the Ming Dynasty and the Joseon Dynasty.
Different Chinese!…”
Watanabe Masumi, a monk soldier, looked at the shocking sacrifices and conversions. His heart was in turmoil, and countless thoughts flashed through him. He thought of the oldest "Kojiki" and the long legends recording the origins of each clan, including the inheritance of the Ryuzoji family.
s legend.
"After the Xia Dynasty, Shaokang, in order to avoid the rise of the great merchants, he ran eastward to the land of the rising sun. It was for Japan. The son of King Tai of Zhou and the uncle of King Wen of Zhou was Taibo Wu. To avoid the sacrifice of the great merchants, Taibo Wu came east to build the Japanese country. It was for us and others.
Ancestor!...Ah! The destiny black bird descended and became a merchant. This group of Jiao people who believe in the witch god, worship the black bird and the sun, hold blood sacrifices, and speak Chinese are the descendants of the legendary Shang?!...Ah! It must be
That’s right!…”
In this era, the legend of the origin of Japan has not yet been consolidated by the Shinto of the Eternal Line. Each clan on the island of Japan has its own version, which is usually associated with the emperors in the history of the Celestial Dynasty, and is named after ancient times.
The ancestors of the Celestial Dynasty are proud of themselves. For example, the Sogabe clan, the powerful patriarch of Tosa Kingdom, has always claimed to be a descendant of Yugyue Lord, a descendant of Qin Shihuang, and belongs to one of the Japanese Qin clan. The Shimazu clan of Kyushu also calls himself the Qin clan.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Before the Yuan invaders destroyed the Song Dynasty, the two most respected versions of the clans in the He Kingdom were that the He Kingdom originated from the Shaokang clan, a descendant of the Xia Dynasty.
The most orthodox Chinese lineage. The other one with the widest acceptance is that of Wu Taibo. That is, in the late Shang Dynasty, the uncle of Zhou Wen Wang Jichang, Wu Taibo, who founded the country in Wu, was also the ancestor of the Japanese!
In the past hundreds of years, when the envoys to the Tang and Song Dynasties met with officials from the Tang and Song Dynasties, they would repeatedly emphasize that they were orthodox descendants of the Xia and Zhou Dynasties, and more importantly, descendants of the ancient sages. Regardless of whether the officials of the Tang and Song Dynasties believed it or not
, anyway, the clans of the Warring States really believed in it, and even compiled genealogies dating back to the Xia and Zhou dynasties. As for the legends of the three ancient dynasties of Xia, Shang and Zhou, many clans of the Warring States, especially the clans of Kyushu and Shikoku, really regarded it as their own research
Like our ancestors, we have a lot of knowledge.
Until the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed after the Battle of Yashan, Heguo "the whole country went vegetarian" and believed that "China has been lost". The Yuan Dynasty was destroyed and the Ming Dynasty was rejuvenated, but it was "infected by Hu Feng" and was no longer as "righteous as the Tang and Song Dynasties". The essence of this statement is
The Waguo gradually gave birth to the seeds of self-independence from the suzerain culture of the Tang and Song dynasties that shaped the Heian era. With the rise of local Shintoism, both the "Xia Hou Shaokang theory" and the "Late Shang Wu Taibo theory" both
Gradually faded from the mainstream culture of Japan, and finally completely disappeared in the Edo period when Tokugawa unified...
This development trajectory is actually a process in which the Republic of China draws on nutrients from China, continues to grow culturally, and eventually grows and becomes independent from the branch of Chinese culture.
It's just that in this era, the Japanese culture has not yet completely become independent from China. The Duke of Taikaku Ichiyo Kaneyoshi, who passed away more than ten years ago, once again emphasized that "Japan is Taige" in order to promote etiquette and quell the chaos of Japan's subordinates and superiors.
Empress Bo, the country of the Ji family"...
"Ah! The Jiao people of the East China Sea are descendants of the Great Shang?!... Isn't the main god of the Jiao people the ancient witch emperor?...The ancient witch emperor, Huitzilopochtli?!..."
Watanabe Masumi, a monk soldier, was filled with excitement and thoughts. According to the legend of the Ryuzoji family, his ancestors also originated from the late Shang Dynasty. Maybe he could join the family line with these Jiao people... However, he soon lost his mind.
Let’s think about these ancient and distant myths. Because the priest of the main god who conducted the conversion for him encountered a slightly difficult problem.
"The Lord God witnesses! Your hair will burn in the fire and be dedicated to the Lord God... Hey! You have no hair?!"
Looking at the bald monk soldier Watanabe, the priest of the main god in front of him blinked and remembered the provisions of the main god's teachings. After pondering for a moment, he naturally raised monk soldier Watanabe's wrist and said with a kind smile.
"God bless you! Since you have no hair...then sacrifice a little finger! It just makes you more pious..."
