After observing for a period of time, Bai Ran's eyes widened and he murmured: "It turns out that gods really exist in this world..."
"Don't think about it, there can't be gods in this world." Fang Yu said calmly.
Fang Yu knew that Bai Ran had been shocked by the so-called divine object in front of him, but he did not explain too much.
The reason why he said so firmly that there are no gods in the world actually stems from a very simple point of view.
In the past, the concept of gods did not exist in the world of immortality. Immortals were the highest symbols of the world of immortality.
When you reach the realm of immortals, you will be forced to leave this world.
Beings as powerful as immortals cannot resist the laws of heaven and earth and must ascend. Then why do so-called gods...if they really have the ability to see through heaven and earth, still stay in the world?
On the other hand... if a god has not reached the level of an immortal, how can he be called a god?
Immortals are immortals, and divine beasts are divine beasts.
People called gods only exist in fictional novels or fabricated stories.
God is essentially a false proposition.
It is just a term created by some people in the past two thousand years to achieve a certain purpose.
For example, the statue of the Sand God in front of you.
"But..." Bai Ran looked at Fang Yu, but stopped talking.
At first he thought it was a show of force, but after some observation, he rejected his previous thoughts.
The strangeness of the statue in front of me is difficult to explain.
"After you have been observing for so long, have you noticed the difference in the number of people who have received gifts and those who have not?" Fang Yu asked.
Upon hearing this question, Bai Ran thought for a while and replied: "The ratio between the two is probably one to four or one to five?"
"Have you ever thought about why this is happening?" Fang Yu asked.
Bai Ran thought for a while. He somewhat understood what Fang Yu meant, but still said: "But even if there are more people who have not received the gift... it does not prove that this is false... because those who have received the gift seem to have received it."
I got the item I wanted most..."
"Why do you think they got the items they wanted?" Fang Yu asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Because their expressions are all very happy..." At this point, Bai Ran's face changed slightly, and he understood what Fang Yu meant, and asked, "Mr. Fang... you mean... the happiness of those who have received the gift,
Is it disguised!?"
Fang Yu nodded, shook his head, and said, "A small part is staged, and the majority is real."
"A small part? But...I don't understand." Bai Ran said.
"The few people I'm talking about...are referring to the few people at the beginning." Fang Yu said with narrowed eyes. "And the expressions of most people after that, either happy or disappointed, are all real."
The more Bai Ran listened, the more confused he became. His face was dull.
Seeing his appearance, Fang Yu used his spiritual consciousness to transmit his voice and explained to him in detail.
In fact, the sacrificial ceremony in front of us is an obvious scam.
According to Fang Yu's speculation, the so-called sacrificial ceremony was actually a large-scale money-making activity organized by the Yuan family, the Fu family, and the Cheng family who appeared later. The three families joined forces with the Shashen Temple.
The heads of these three families were the first three groups to come forward and offer tribute.
Their purpose in doing this is to use their status to take the lead for those behind them, and it also has a psychological implication.
Even the heads of three top aristocratic families, the Yuan family, the Fu family, and the Cheng family, kneel down and worship the statue of the Sand God so devoutly, naturally no one will doubt the authenticity of the Sand God.
The items dropped from the hands of the Sand God statue are actually a simple storage spell.
In other words, the hands of the Sand God statue are actually a small storage space!
All items fell out of the storage space!
Whether items are dropped depends on what the wisher wants.
Fang Yu had noticed before that a small magic circle was arranged on the ground in front of the stone platform at the foot of the statue.
Although he did not detect it carefully, Fang Yu was sure that the function of this magic circle was probably to invade the mind of the person who walked into the magic circle, so as to know what this person was thinking.
In this way, you can know what items the person making a wish wants.
After you know what item you want, check in the storage space to see if there is an item that meets the wishes of the person making the wish.
If it exists, items that meet the wishes of the wisher will be selectively dropped. Items with low value will be dropped, while items with high value will not be dropped.
If it does not exist, no items will be dropped.
The control of items in the storage space should belong to the goddess Qin Yao who is currently floating in the air and has been ignored by everyone!
Therefore, after the heads of the three families, the emotions shown by those who got the items and those who did not get the items are real.
As for the items in the storage space, where do they come from?
Obviously, it was collected from the last sacrificial ceremony three years ago!
After thinking about these points, the group of pious-looking people in front of us seems particularly ridiculous.
They never imagined that everything in front of them was just a huge scam!
This is a super scam created by the Yuan family, the Fu family, the Cheng family, and the top three families in Xidu together!
"But Mr. Fang... these three are all top aristocratic families, why would they do such a thing? It's just for some tributes... They don't need to take such risks..." Bai Ran, who listened to Fang Yu's explanation, was shocked.
A little dizzy, he muttered.
"Just some tributes? Didn't you see that representatives of other aristocratic families took out the most precious magic pills or other items in the family as tributes?" Fang Yu said lightly, "It is held once every three years.
To be able to deceive so many rare treasures into your hands... What a huge wealth is this?"
"In this process, one thing has gone down and the other has gone up. The reason why we have widened the gap with other aristocratic families is because of this scam."
"The three of them don't have to pay anything. They only need to perform a play every three years and return some scraps collected through the scam to maintain the scam."
"In this way, the three of them can stand at the top of the Western Capital forever, and no one can surpass them. Even if the scam is exposed later, other aristocratic families will not have the capital to fight with them."
After listening to what Fang Yu said, Bai Ran froze on the spot and was speechless for a while.
The sacrificial ceremony... turned out to be such a scam!
Just now, even he almost believed it!
Twenty years ago, he fell into a trap that was easily broken because he was too simple and straightforward. He was trapped for many years.
Today, he felt the horror of the conspiracy again!
And Yi Duanliu's treachery pales in comparison to the scam in front of him that has hid all the Xidu families!
"Another point. After observing yesterday and today, I did not find that Shashen Temple has any special strength." Fang Yu said, "But Shashen Temple's reputation in the Western Capital is extremely loud. No aristocratic family dares to offend it...
…Guess why?"
"...it was the Yuan family, the Fu family, the Cheng family, who used public opinion to build momentum, and their disguised respect...joined forces to push the Shashen Temple to the altar..." Bai Ran swallowed and said.
"Yes, Shashen Temple is a product jointly built by these three companies. It is also another of their spokespersons in the Western Capital." Fang Yu nodded happily and said.
After the two talked, Fang Yu looked at the dark and excited crowd below and shook his head slightly.
No wonder so many people came to watch the ceremony...
These onlookers, after today, will become free publicity tools for Shashen Temple.
Fang Yu looked at Yuan and Fu, who were standing not far away with smiles on their faces and talking in low voices, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The reason why he could see through this scam so easily, apart from some empirical analysis, was most directly because there were many flaws in the performances of these three families.
This flaw was quite obvious in front of Fang Yu, who had lived for nearly five thousand years and met all kinds of people.
To be honest, even if he were not Fang Yu, if he were a smarter and more alert person, it would not be difficult to see that there were many flaws in the so-called sacrificial ceremony in front of him.
But the representatives of the aristocratic families present are all individuals who are exposed to a public opinion environment like the Western Capital. They will have a herd mentality and thus ignore some flaws or turn a blind eye to them.
"But, if the sacrificial ceremony in front of you is just a scam...why did the people from Shashen Temple take Ling'er away?" Fang Yu suddenly thought of this and frowned.
"boom!"
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly broke out among the crowd watching the battle in the distance!
Several extremely powerful momentums rushed towards the statue on the stone platform!
