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;
Hundreds of tents were scattered everywhere, filled with divine light and constantly colliding with each other. The scene was so spectacular that Li Pingan said it was interesting.
The God of Hun Zhan reported tremblingly: "Master Xuan Turtle, the 112th evening ceremony has been completed. How about we stop now? Lord God King has been looking this way for a long time."
"God."
A weak female voice came from behind. The two gods of love were slumped on the floor, their faces bloodless, and they said sadly:
"We have reached our limit."
"Well, okay," Li Ping'an nodded, looking at the spectacular scene in front of him with a little smile in his eyes.
It’s different.
The Shenting now is completely different from the Shenting a few days ago.
Under the dual combination of the God of Love and the God of Coma, most of the gods in the divine court suddenly seemed to have enlightened themselves and were no longer as dull and monotonous as before.
Li Ping'an brought the God of Love and the God of Coma to cause trouble in the corner, but none of these gods stopped him.
Even after witnessing the first dusk ceremony, these gods were still vaguely looking forward to the arrival of their own dusk ceremony.
During this process, God King Shaohao and several old God Kings remained silent.
The only change they made was from avoiding Li Pingan's provocative gaze to actively staring at Li Pingan, as if they couldn't help but want to take action against the newly promoted black turtle master.
God King Shaohao and several old god kings have already felt the huge crisis caused by the black turtle master's nonsense.
The gods opened the door of desire, freed themselves from the constraints of heaven and the rules of the divine court, and put the concept of self at the forefront.
If left unchecked, these gods will continue to launch divine wars.
The gods began to fall into the quagmire of desire. Lust is often the lowest and easiest to control desire, but under the guidance of lust, the gods will gradually awaken their desire for power and control.
This threatened the entire divine court;
It also threatened the God-King and the Old God-King who were at the highest point of divine power.
Li Ping'an actually didn't realize at the moment that his operation had indirectly weakened the resonance between Shenting and Heaven.
If the Juetian Formation dissipates at this moment, the Heavenly Court will be able to directly overwhelm the Nanzhou Divine Court without paying much price.
However, Li Ping'an's main purpose - to stimulate God King Shaohao, has not been achieved yet.
Li Ping'an raised his hand and hugged the neck of the faint god, and said with a smile: "Let's have a final faint ceremony."
The faint god asked in a low voice: "Great God Black Turtle...what kind of faint ritual?"
"Choose a wife for the God King," Li Ping'an said seriously, "Didn't you see that the God King has been watching you? Can't you see such an obvious hint?"
The corners of Daoshen's mouth were twitching crazily.
He looked at the God King, then at Li Ping'an, and almost burst into tears.
The old faint god said in a trembling voice: "You, please spare the little god! The Lord God King is about to launch the Divine Punishment! We have gone too far!"
"Hey," Li Ping'an said with a smile, "How can this be called too much? If you don't try it, how do you know the God King doesn't like it?"
The faint god was speechless.
The two love gods at the back lowered their heads and said nothing, trying their best to avoid being named by the Black Turtle God.
The faint god tremblingly raised his peach blossom branch...
"enough!"
The low shout of God King Shaohao suddenly sounded, and the loud sounds in the hall stopped.
But soon, these sounds became more intense, and the divine light everywhere became more intense.
The gods seem to be resisting.
God King Shaohao stood up with his sword in hand, frowned at Li Ping'an, and his voice became deep and angry.
"Master Black Turtle, what on earth do you want to do!"
"Liberate nature," Li Ping'an didn't get up. He just let go of Xu Shen's neck and looked at God King Shaohao with a smile. "Since the gods are all transformed by human heroes, why not restore human nature? A Zhi, don't you think so?
Don’t you think this divine court was too monotonous before?”
God King Shaohao said angrily: "Don't call this name again!"
"What?" Li Ping'an frowned, "You don't want to recognize me as your father?"
"These are unrelated things!"
God King Shaohao raised his sword: "I will give you divine punishment!"
"God's punishment?" Li Ping'an said calmly, "Can the God King explain where my sin is?"
God King Shaohao said angrily: "You disturb the order of the divine court, shake the foundation of the divine court, and confuse the gods to fall. You should be punished with death!"
"I dare not take any of the blame mentioned by the God King."
Li Pingan smiled and said:
"If I violate the rules of the Divine Court, it is natural for the God King to punish me, but I do everything according to the rules of the Divine Court.
"The rules of the Divine Court are set by the God King. If I follow the rules and am punished, then it means that the God King himself violated the rules set by himself. The disaster of the collapse of the Divine Court is imminent."
"nonsense!"
God King Shaohao raised his sword high in his hand.
Lines of purple thunder filled the entire hall and split open the tents of the gods.
For a time, the garden in the divine court was filled with spring scenery, and the gods also broke away from their desires, wrapped themselves in divine light, ran around to hide, and looked at the furious God King in fear.
Unlike before, when the God King was angry, the gods immediately gathered in formation.
At this moment, the God King became angry, and most of the gods hid everywhere, just watching.
When Li Ping'an saw this, he knew the time was ripe.
He stood up, took a step forward, held his right hand empty, and the dark thunder gathered into a spear. The Xuantian Tower in the battle body rotated rapidly, and the strong pressure of the gods surged in all directions.
In terms of divine pressure alone, the Black Turtle God is not as good as the Divine King of Shenting;
But at this moment, the terrifying fluctuations gushing out of Li Ping'an's battle body made the gods frightened, and the God King's anger quickly began to decrease.
"God King, you are greedy for power, condone the shamans and priests in the world, and are disrespectful to the Holy Mother Nuwa," Li Ping'an said, "Today I will launch a divine war against you!"
God King Shaohao frowned.
The gods looked shocked as they looked at the Black Turtle God and the God King who were confronting each other in the distance.
A war seems to be about to break out.
God King Shaohao's hand slowly tightened the hilt of the long sword...
Sudden!
A sneer sounded from behind the God King.
Next to the throne of the God King, a beautiful shadow slowly formed, and its body emitted strong fluctuations. It was faintly on par with Li Ping'an, and even slightly surpassed Li Ping'an.
Li Ping'an was startled.
Daluo Jinxian?
Then, he saw the figure and face of that beautiful figure, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Even if her face had changed from that of an old woman to that of a young woman in her twenties, Li Ping'an could still recognize her at a glance.
Notre Dame Palace, Right Attendant!
But at this moment, the voice of the inner heaven spirit ‘Xihe’ came out of the mouth of the right servant:
"Your Majesty the Divine King, you can modify the rules of the Divine Court to allow the Divine War to allow higher-level gods to bring their own lower-level gods to participate in the battle.
"I am His Majesty the King of Gods, your lower god, and I can kill the Black Turtle."
God King Shaohao looked at Li Ping'an, with a slightly sarcastic smile on his face, and the divine sword in his hand rang softly, rewriting the rules and opening up the land of fighting gods.
