Bai Ya was puzzled and looked at the old man's finger in confusion. The old man frowned and raised it twice.
"What do you mean?"
Qi Huan and Ao Yan didn't say anything because they didn't know what the old man meant. The old man felt a headache and had a certain degree of doubt about the intelligence of the three people.
"In heaven."
"Oh... Hey, you should have told me earlier." Qi Huan raised his hand, feeling quite embarrassed.
The three of them looked up at the sky in unison. There were no stars, and the moonlight was very dim. Now, the moon was also obscured by thick clouds, leaving only a faint stain-like light, but the undulating outline of the clouds was clearly illuminated.
.They lowered their heads again and looked at the slightly tired old man. Qi Huan asked:
"Then... what should we do now? We should get out of here, right?"
"Let's go. If you don't believe in Poseidon, then this place is not suitable for you. You should find other beliefs. People without faith cannot survive in the Nine Heavens Kingdom. You are detaining boys and girls, and you are afraid that you will offend Poseidon.
Sir... let's go quickly and get out of here before the situation gets serious."
"What should you do?" Aoyan asked, "What should you do?"
"Lord Poseidon will not make things difficult for us. I have lived for more than seventy years, and I am not far behind this time. You are still young."
"But I don't believe in anything." Bai Ya's tone was light, "I only believe in myself."
"Young man, you are still young and don't know the dangers of Jiutian Kingdom..."
"Don't bother talking. I know that those two children said that worshiping gods is ultimately to ascend to heaven and become immortals. What does this have to do with the gods you said live in the sky? We can't see it.
.”
The old man tilted his head back slightly. Although he did not mean to be profound, he picked up his beard again and spent a lot of time to explain to them what the so-called "god" was.
"Gods" are the supreme beings that cannot be found or touched. Gods are the gods above the gods, the heavens beyond the sky, and heavenly beings are people outside of human beings. The other gods not only recognize the existence of the gods, but also respect them.
Plus. Of course, the seven gods cannot give specific evidence: they believe that their own existence is the evidence itself. If you ask the seven gods to describe the appearance of the gods, the answer you will get is that it is invisible and cannot be said.
.
But what people are sure of is that if you can become a heavenly being, your joy will be boundless.
In this world, through faith and worshiping these tangible gods, you can also get endless glory and wealth. Really relying on plundered resources will offend the interests of "lower people". The gods will not interfere, but will
Make a choice. You can stop here and through various efforts recognized by the gods,
Get gold and silver, be as beautiful as clouds, and don't worry about any guilt - you deserve it. If your heart is as kind as jade, the gods will give you another kind of reward, which is spiritual enjoyment.
For example, a dream, a beautiful dream that you will never wake up from, you can control the wind and rain and do whatever you want.
Gods and humans are very close. Human belief is the cornerstone of the existence of gods. The larger and stronger the belief, the more powerful the gods will be. The gods will select some of the believers and reward them.
Give a substantial feedback. In this way, there will also be
More believers will strengthen their beliefs and attract more people to become their believers. People are limited, and resources are also limited. Sometimes, gods will use their own abilities and means to fight for and dig out what they want. But
In the final analysis, they are all bridges between humans and gods.
Your faith provides power to the gods, but you can also not stop there. Human desires are endless, and as desires expand, inertia also increases. In front of considerable benefits, some people stop and are satisfied with the status quo.
, and there is nothing wrong with it. If you want to go one step further and move toward the existence of heavenly beings who are closest to God alongside the Seven Gods, you need to obtain the approval of the Seven Gods. No one has the specific method.
You know, because people still can't get rid of the shackles of the flesh. It's easy to be immersed in the sight of the dogs and horses in front of them, forgetting the strength to move up in the first place. What's more, gods are just like people, with their own grudges and grudges. How can this be a mortal body?
It is only something that humans can understand. Not to mention, it must be compatible with the approval of seven gods at the same time. As for the so-called form of "recognition", even if you ask them, they won't tell you.
Next, the old man provided them with more information. Although it was very limited, it was enough to give them a preliminary understanding of the situation in the Nine Heavens Kingdom.
Poseidon is the master of the entire sea. Yaksha is his divine envoy, responsible for conveying each other's thoughts, drawing in the relationship between the two, and slowly building a complete image in the hearts of believers. There is God but no form -
-The concept of Poseidon's existence is deeply rooted in people's hearts. The entity is just an insignificant body, so there is no need to worry about it.
The treasure of Poseidon is controlled by Yasha, but no one has ever seen it. But the old man said that it was probably a kind of long weapon: a special halberd. He was lucky enough to see this object when he was young, and the powerful spiritual power it contained surpassed
Imagine.
The Dragon God is also different from the elusive dragon they know, which can summon wind and rain. The Dragon God of the Nine Heavens Kingdom is the dragon of the ocean of disaster, living under the abyss. The magnificent Dragon Palace is built on the deep seabed, and no one can reach it alive.
In that place, the huge pressure will squeeze anything on the land.
The intersection between Yaksha and the Dragon Clan is unknown. There are very few people who believe in the Dragon God on land, so they will not be targeted by Yaksha. However, the old man said that there are rumors that someone has seen the beautiful shark in an inaccessible place.
.Perhaps the followers of the Dragon God belong to another group, and his form of existence is also very special.
The treasure of the Dragon God is naturally nowhere to be found.
The name of the python god is Mahuluojia, which is also an earth dragon. He walks as a god without legs and belly and rarely appears. He may be a male or a female; he may have a snake head and a human body, or a human head and a snake body - those
The change in appearance is not insignificant. In the distant forests and deep swamps, temples belonging to him were built, and a large number of
Devoted men and women often come here to worship him and pray for blessings. However, it is rumored that the python god breaks the precepts and flatters the evil people. He is angry and gives little, and is a god with a weird personality. In order to avoid unintentionally offending the python god and making unnecessary sacrifices, people formed a
A clergy team dedicated to communicating with gods to serve as a link between the two parties.
In the temple of the Python God, it is said that the treasures of the Python God are enshrined.
The name of the Incense God is Gandharva. It is said that he is a male-looking god wearing an octagonal crown. He holds a jade flute in his left hand and an incense burner in his right hand. He and his tribe all exude fragrant and fragrant fragrances from their bodies. They do not eat wine or meat.
Only nourished by fragrance. He is the leader of the Xiangyin Sect. He lives in a country where politics and religion are integrated. Even the king has to respect him. He is also the patron saint of children and babies. As long as he is sincere,
Pray to him, and the child will be happy and healthy, and will not be disturbed by ghosts and gods throughout his life. He is like a skilled sorcerer, and all dreams and illusions will be meaningless here. All believers are fascinated by the rumored hometown of Gandharvas -
—The ever-changing mirage is what my heart longs for. There is no disease, no poverty, no pain. As long as you convert to the Holy Religion, you can step by step escape the intrusion of the sufferings of this world.
Gandharva has a platinum silver incense burner, which exudes all kinds of fragrances all year round, making people suspect that those smells do not belong to the human world. The incense burner can also make medicine, and there is no disease in the world that is incurable.
The name of the God of Song is Kinnara, which means the heaven of music. It is said that she is a woman with a pair of horns on her head, a dignified appearance, and a beautiful voice. Her singing purifies the filth in the world, and the sound of the piano makes all dharma quiet. She She belongs to the same family as the Gandharva, and is said to be a dearest friend, or perhaps a brother and sister connected by blood. The two share the reputation of the God of Music, and are respectively involved in the governance of two neighboring countries. She is the national advisor who assists the king in managing the territory. , no one will disobey her orders. An unbreakable alliance has been established between these two countries, forming a check and balance with the largest country in the Nine Heavens Kingdom.
Kinnara has a special xun, which is a pair with the jade flute. But it is said that the material of that xun is very special, and when played in Kinnara's mouth, unexpected things will happen.
The God of War is Asura. They are gods from the Asura Path. It is said that the true body of King Asura has nine heads and a thousand eyes, a hundred hands and eight legs, is as tall as a mountain, has his feet on the sea, can breathe fire with his mouth, roars like thunder, and can reach out with his hand. Covering the light of the sun and moon, the Shura army was invincible. The local people built a war temple, which contained many statues of brave and capable warriors recognized by King Shura. People and monsters in that area were often attacked by Rakshasa ghosts. Invasion, people fight against them. The kingdom of Asura has the most powerful military force in the entire Nine Heavens Kingdom, and no one or group can defeat them.
Asura has a demon-conquering pestle that symbolizes conquest and victory. It is made of purple gold. One end of it is a Vajra pestle, with three Buddha statues engraved in the middle, respectively smiling, angry, and cursing. The other end is a three-sided pestle, which is extremely sharp and indestructible. Used to subdue evil spirits.
The name of the bird god is Garuda, and he is a huge golden-winged divine bird that feeds on a native snake called Naga. Strangely enough, before the arrival of these gods, Nagas, terrifying creatures like Rakshasa It is also something that the residents have never seen before. Maybe their arrival has changed something. According to rumors, the sacred bird Garuda is half human and half bird, either human or bird. The bird's body is made of gold, and its head is embedded with wish-fulfilling beads. He leads a huge group of demon birds, coexists with the human race, and maintains the order of different populations and classes.
Garuda lives in the interior of the continent and is also in charge of some kind of treasure, but no one knows it. Some people speculate that it is the blue wish-fulfilling bead. With it, any wish can be realized.
"There is a question that concerns me a lot." Bai Ya said, "Jiutian Kingdom was just one country back then. Why did it split into multiple small countries?"
"Indeed. A long time ago, this place was a whole... But from one day onwards, everything changed. The gods went their own way and divided their own national boundaries. I have lived with my wife by the sea for many years and have never gone deep into the interior. , I’m sorry that I can’t answer your specific distribution…”
"It's okay, I'm grateful." Qi Huan bowed to the old man seriously and straightened up, "But I have one last question, which may offend you. If you feel it's inappropriate, you don't have to answer it. "
"Just say it." The old man smiled slightly and said, "I can't help you much. If you have any questions, please try your best to answer me."
"How have you persisted in your faith for so many years? I heard from you that this Lord Poseidon is like a god of heaven and has never appeared in front of people. How do you maintain your trust? Just rely on those weird-looking Haiyakshas. ?”
The old man smiled. Under the moonlight, his expression was like the undulating light and shadow on the sea.
"I was fortunate enough to be blessed by Lord Poseidon. From that time on, I firmly believed. Otherwise, my life would have been lost in the storm that happened while fishing decades earlier."
After that, the old man slowly untied the hem of his robe. As the three people stared in amazement, they saw a pair of twisted and rough, dark green, skinny legs with long fins.
