When the Demon Sect's first-generation founder, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, founded the Light Holy Fire Sect, he actually integrated Eastern and Western cultural beliefs.
In the myths and legends of Chinese civilization, the great god Pangu created the world and the goddess Nuwa nurtured all living beings.
The images of the Kaitian Demon God and the Netherworld Madonna created by the Heavenly Demon Ancestor are very similar to Pangu Nuwa.
As for the teachings of the Demon Sect, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor borrowed from the declining Sun Sect, Taiyin Sect, Light Sect, Shenhuo Sect, etc. in the Western Regions.
This can be seen from the full name of the Demonic Sect, the Holy Fire Sect of Light.
The ancient song "Devil's Sorrow" used by the Demon Sect in the sacrificial ceremony has the same melody as the guqin song "Shenren Chang" used by ancient Chinese ancestors to worship heaven, but the ancestor of the Demon Cult added words to sing it.
As soon as the ancient song "Devil's Sorrow" played, the drums and bells began to slowly stop.
Guo Bier was hanging on the giant cauldron, her eyes slightly closed, her expression pious, and she was chanting slowly.
"If you take advantage of the righteousness of the heaven and the earth and control the debate between the six qi, and you want to swim infinitely, you will be treated badly..."
Ye Tianci, who was busy playing at the altar, raised his head slightly after hearing these words.
I was greatly surprised.
This sentence is very familiar to him. It is alluded to Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou". You can usually see this sentence at the front of every volume of the heavenly book.
Fortunately, what Guo Bier sang next was not the words in the heavenly book.
"In ancient times, when people practiced the Dharma, they could understand the way of saints. However, saints failed and were divided into immortals, mortals, gods and demons. Gods control the nine heavens, immortals descend in the sky, demons descend into the underworld, and humans establish heaven and earth.
The demon ancestors want to come to the place in the universe, share the energy of the immortals, gods, humans and saints, and control the spring of Tai Chi together.
The beginning is peaceful, and it will be peaceful for thousands of years.
However, the path of demons is prosperous, and the practices and techniques of witchcraft are feared by humans and hated by spirits. The ways of demons are the opinions of immortals, gods, and saints, and they may be disgusted and disdainful of those who share them.
Immortals and gods control the mountain of Tianzhu, the gate to the sky, and want to slay demons..."
The content of "Devil" is very strange, at least to the people of Middle-earth, it is very strange.
First, it tells how in ancient times, ordinary people could understand the laws and become saints.
Some people did not become saints, but instead became immortals, mortals, gods, and demons.
Among these four types of people, gods have the highest status and live in the nine heavens.
Immortals have the second highest status and live above the sky, that is, on the mountains.
Demons are even more miserable, their status is far inferior to that of gods, and they are reduced to the underworld.
Mortals live on this continent between heaven and earth.
The Demon Ancestor wants to return to the human world, live together with gods and mortals, and control the Tai Chi Spring together.
At the beginning, everyone was relatively stable and lived a peaceful life for tens of thousands of years.
However, as the years went by, the demonic lineage became more and more prosperous and became feared by the world.
In addition, there are differences between the concepts of the demonic religion and those of the immortals and saints. The immortals and saints "are afraid of being disgusted and disdainful of those who agree with them."
The gods and saints did not want to coexist with the demons in the world, so they took control of the Tianzhu Mountain and the Gate to Heaven, hoping to kill all the demons so that only their lineage would exist in the world.
This is the legendary "War between Gods and Demons".
Also known as "The Battle of the Gods."
The demon was defeated in this battle and was expelled from the prosperous Middle Earth to the Western Regions by the gods and saints.
Part of the later content of "Demon Sorrow" records this battle.
The whole article praises the benevolence of the devil and criticizes the hypocrisy and cruelty of the gods and saints.
It also uses a large amount of content to tell the story of the Nether Virgin Mary and the Kaitian Demon God who created the world and raised all living beings.
Its content is exactly opposite to the perception of good and evil in the minds of the people of Middle-earth.
In the devil's death, the devil is benevolent and the god is cruel.
Although Ye Tianci is the dark side of Ye Xiaochuan's heart, he also sneered at the Demon Sect's self-created "Devil's Sorrow" and found it funny in his heart.
However, Ye Cha spoke up for the rare occasion and said, "Do you think this Demon Shang is funny?"
Ye Tianci thought in his heart: "Don't you think so?"
Ye Chadao: "Half of the credit for why the Holy Religion is so united with the outside world must be attributed to this demonic tragedy."
Ye Tianci said: "It's just ancient songs pieced together here and there, lyrics that ignore the facts, and brainwashing words."
Ye Chadao: "Yes, this is a brainwashing statement, but a sect, a religion, and a belief must brainwash its disciples. Only with a high degree of unity in thinking can great things be achieved."
Ye Tianci said: "I agree with this."
An ancient song to worship heaven actually took two hours.
The entire article has at least 30,000 words, and I don’t know how Guo Bier recited it word for word.
In fact, this demon's sorrow can be recited from the beginning by any disciple of the Demon Cult. This is the first lesson for a disciple of the Demon Cult.
Around noon, Guo Bier finally finished reciting.
The drums and bells sounded again.
Ye Tianci, who had been half-kneeling for two hours, was already filled with resentment.
He regretted very much. If he had known that the demon sect's sacrificial activities were so cumbersome and lengthy, he would not have submitted an invitation to worship the founder of the demon sect with the Great Yong Cauldron just to show off.
Ye Tianci stood up along with everyone and said in his heart: "This ghost sacrifice is finally over."
Ye Chadao: "This is just a sacrifice to heaven, to the Holy Mother of the Netherworld and the Demon God of Kaitian. Next, we have to sacrifice to the ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Sect, the first generation founder of the holy religion..."
"What? It's not over yet?"
Ye Tianci's temperament was already violent, but after seeing the powerful strength of the Demon Cult, he kept suppressing it.
At this moment, when Ye Cha said that the sacrificial activities were not over yet, he immediately became angry.
A black energy instantly emitted from his body.
Ye Cha said calmly: "Boy, let me remind you that no matter which civilization it is in, sacrifices are the most sacred and solemn.
If you dare to be presumptuous during the sacrificial ceremony, or show a blasphemous look, I guarantee you will not leave this altar alive."
When Ye Tianci heard this, he immediately suppressed his anger.
He knew very well that there were countless people here who wanted him dead, and he could not give Tuoba Yu a reason to kill him.
In the following sacrificial activities, unlike the first two hours, you can only kneel on one knee.
Under the auspices of Guo Bier, people burned their watches to offer tribute, pray to gods and worship their ancestors.
There are three people who worship him, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, Yueshi Yin, and Ye Cha.
The Demon Cult has been following this process for hundreds of years.
It's just that today's process seems a little weird.
There is still a residual soul of Ye Cha at the scene.
Yueshiyin is Ye Xiaochuan's previous life.
Worship yourself.
This made Ye Tianci feel indescribably strange in his heart.
In the afternoon, the sacrificial activities came to an end. More than a thousand demon sect bosses on the altar, each holding three fine Zen incense sticks, gathered in Dayong under the leadership of the acting leader Tuoba Yu.
Right in front of the cauldron, facing the giant cauldron and the portraits of the Holy Mother Demon God, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, Yuezhi Yin, and Ye Cha
, knelt down and kowtowed.
After kowtowing their hands three times, they stepped forward one by one and threw the fine Zen incense in their hands into the Great Yong Cauldron to be burned.
Guo Bi'er's voice was a little hoarse, and she finally said loudly the two words that Ye Xiaochuan had been looking forward to all day. The ceremony is over!
