Celestial Immortal

The so-called blood sacrifice is to sacrifice blood to the gods. As the name suggests, it is to use living beings as sacrifices to worship the gods.

Regarding the "blood food sacrifice to the gods", at the beginning of the Dachang world, demons and gods ravaged the world, and the Taoist masters who practiced immortality in this world opposed all "blood food sacrifice to the gods", even "chicken, cattle and sheep" and other livestock were criticized as blood food with blow.

However, with the rise of humanity and immortality, subtle changes have taken place in the attitude towards "sacrificing blood to the gods".

Immortal cultivators eat the wind and drink dew, and they can live forever if they become immortals. They don't care about blood food and incense offerings, but the major city gods, Yin soldiers, seal generals, and ghosts under their command need some blood in addition to incense offerings. Only by offering food and offerings can we maintain our spirituality and the soul will last forever.

Therefore, the attitude of Taoist sects who have integrated into "Shinto" towards "blood sacrifice" has also undergone some changes, becoming more tolerant and standardized.

"The Edict of the Mixed Girl Youth" says:
"All righteous gods, ordered to eat one side with blood, unable to protect the land, and those who recklessly cause harm to the people, will be shot with needles and flow for three thousand miles."

From this we can see the difference, the Taoist sect no longer uses "blood sacrifice" to judge the division of evil gods and righteous gods.

With the permission of the righteous gods, they can accept "chicken, duck, cattle and sheep" and other livestock as blood sacrifices, but they must guard the land and protect the people of one side, otherwise they will be punished.

As for the "blood sacrifice" and "living sacrifice" that are eaten with "human" blood, it goes without saying that it is a proper red line.

Regardless of whether it is a righteous god or an evil god, anyone who asks for "blood sacrifice" in vain is definitely stepping into the minefield and asking for a dead end. The Lingguan Wang of the Heavenly Court was burned by the flying talisman of the celestial master because he vainly asked for the blood sacrifice of "boys and girls". .

Within the Dachang Dynasty, "blood sacrifice" was basically eradicated, but in Lizhou, Yaozhou and more remote wild places, blood sacrifice activities were extremely rampant.

From wizards to ordinary people, "blood sacrifice" rituals prevail.

In some remote small tribes, the method of "sacrificing blood to the gods" is their secret, a treasure passed down by the tribe's family.

There is no other reason, but it is beneficial!

The word "begging" is the key point of "seeking gods". Worshiping ghosts and gods is essentially an "equivalent exchange" activity. I offer tribute to you, and you give me benefits.

The living environment of the people in Manghuang is harsh, tyrannical beasts are rampant, evil spirits breed, and devils are raging. They are extremely thirsty for power, and the easiest way to obtain power is naturally to trade with powerful gods.

Ever since, the major tribes and their forces fought against each other, killing and looting, offering sacrifices to the gods they enshrined, and begging the gods to give them grace to help them quickly achieve supernatural powers.
What if the small tribe is not strong enough to go out to fight and plunder?
That's very simple. Outsiders can't bully me, and I can't bully my own people. It's always easiest to turn the iron fist inward.

On the day of the sacrifice, each household apportioned, boys and girls, men and women, took turns to apportion, and took turns to squeeze.
As for wizards, needless to say, they can communicate with ghosts and gods, borrow the power of ghosts and gods, cultivate to a high level, and even drive and feed ghosts and gods.

The six top magic powers in the southwest [Ancient Witch God League] originated from this.

After hearing the words of Lizhou City God Shen Duancang, Chu Chen and Bailu Xianweng faintly realized something.

One or two "blood sacrifice" activities are easy to deal with, but if the "blood sacrifice" activities are widespread and involve the whole state, then it is difficult to deal with, because it is driven by huge interests and cannot be eliminated at all.

The Dachang Heavenly Dynasty settled in Lizhou and erected its flag, but it only made the "blood sacrifice" run from the bright side to the dark place, without affecting the "blood sacrifice" at all.

In fact, stopping the "blood sacrifice" made the local natives of Lizhou feel "resentment" towards the Chinese dynasty, thinking that the Chinese dynasty had spoiled their good deeds and it was difficult to educate them.

In a sense, the "blood sacrifice" is the biggest difficulty in the governance of Lizhou.

Whoever can eradicate the "blood sacrifice", educate the people of a state, and guide all people to the Tao and the good will be a great contribution and a great fortune
Xu Shi's situation in Lizhou was very complicated, neither Chu Chen nor the new boss was in charge of Bailu Xianweng, neither of them was in the mood to drink and have fun, and the grand feast ended hastily.

Immortal Bailu took up his post that day and went straight to Lizhou Ghost and God Division.

Chu Chen was no exception, and was in charge of the Supervision Department of Lizhou.

Lizhou Supervision Department, like other states, has two supervisory deputy envoys on the left and right.

Yu Baoquan, nicknamed "Taoist of Yuquan", was born in the small Kyushu in the middle of the earth, awarded the twelfth-level god Xiaolu, Dongling mage, Hunyuan Shangqing (the fourth grade), and the late stage Taoist cultivation of the fourth-rank great supernatural power. He is currently the deputy supervisor of the left. He is also the deputy governor of Lizhou Ghosts and Gods Division;

Cao Haigui, nicknamed "Hailanzi", was born in Dajiuzhou, awarded the eleventh-level five-thunder talisman, master Gaoxuan, the jade history of Xuandu in the upper Qing Dynasty (from the fourth rank), and the middle stage of the fourth-rank great god path. He is currently the right deputy of Lizhou Supervisory Deputy.

These two are Chu Chen's right-hand men in the state supervision department.

Yu Baoquan, the deputy supervisor of the left, concurrently serves in the supervisory department and the department of ghosts and gods. In addition to supervising one party, he is responsible for coordinating all parties and handling errands on the surface, which is not far behind what Chu Chen did in Yunzhou. It is a full-time assistant to Chu Chen, the "Supervisor of Lizhou".

"Meet the Ombudsman!"

Yu Baoquan and Cao Haigui respectfully bowed to each other, but when they saluted, they couldn't help taking a sneaky look, their eyes full of astonishment.

"You two friends don't need to be polite."

Chu Chen has long been used to the surprised expressions of his colleagues when they see him. Even if he uses evasion techniques, others can't see his depth, but his reputation has spread, and others will look at him more when they see him.

After exchanging polite greetings and getting acquainted, Chu Chen got straight to the point and asked about Yu Baoquan and Cao Haigui's "blood sacrifice" in Lizhou.

Yu Baoquan wore a green Taoist robe, tall, elegant and polite, with a kind face, quite friendly, upon hearing this, he quickly replied:
"Supervisor, your eyes are like torches. Rampant blood sacrifices are indeed the biggest problem in the governance of Lizhou. Not to mention the natives who practice witchcraft in Lizhou, even many Taoist friends of our Celestial Dynasty Taoist sect can't stand the temptation. Sorcery, offering sacrifices to evil spirits and gods, or some local gods asking for blood sacrifices."

The introverted and emaciated taoist Taoist Cao Haigui echoed:

"Our Supervisory Department handles hundreds of cases, large and small, every year. It is impossible to prevent them after repeated prohibitions."

Chu Chen frowned slightly, feeling a little surprised.

Even the immortals, ghosts and gods of the Celestial Dynasty were involved, not to mention the local aborigines of Lizhou.

The situation in Lizhou was more complicated than he had imagined, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was shocking.

Profits drive people crazy.

For Chu Chen, who was born in an orthodox Taoist sect and has a heart to help him, offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods does not have the slightest temptation for him. of.

"Blood sacrifice is indeed a trouble."

Yu Baoquan, the deputy supervisor of the left side, said with emotion:
"However, there is no way to solve the blood sacrifice. Cut down mountains and destroy temples, sweep away ghosts and gods, and wipe out all the evil spirits and demons. The source of blood sacrifice inheritance is cut off, and the wind of blood sacrifice will stop!"

When Chu Chen heard this, he immediately became interested:
"That's reasonable, but what's the problem?"

"Supervisor, you don't know something. It's easy to deal with the evil gods of ordinary obscenity, but the Litian Wushen who is really difficult to deal with. You just entered Lizhou and don't know the situation. Here is the file. You will know it at a glance."

After finishing speaking, the two supervisory deputy commissioners presented a thick file.

When Chu Chen saw the dossier, he immediately became interested, and his consciousness was swept away.

The pages of the book rattled.

[Golden Dragon Guard] is also an intelligence organization, but its main task is to act as the eyes and ears of the emperor, to gain insight into the movements of various places, and to provide information on specific local conditions, which is far inferior to that of the supervision departments of various places.

Immediately, Chu Chen took the file.

After a while, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

Before that, he had no contact with Lizhou affairs. Although he had heard of the name "Litian Wushen", he didn't know much about it. He should regard him as the overlord of the separatist party.

However, after reading the file, he had a clear understanding of the situation in Lizhou.

Speaking of which, the reason why "the wind of blood sacrifice" prevails in Lizhou is closely related to this Litian shaman.

It is said that the predecessor of "Litian Wushen" was an ancient witchcraft powerhouse. After his accidental fall, by chance, his remnant soul turned into a "ghost" and floated between heaven and earth.

In the prehistoric era, there were grass gods all over the place. There was a mountain temple that was previously built by a little demon as an obscene priest. He lit the fire privately and granted it as a god, bewitching the living beings in the mountain to worship it.

On a night of thunderstorms, the little demon fought with other monsters, one accidentally died, and the mountain temple fell into disrepair. By coincidence, the Litian Witch God who was wandering around picked up the leak, parasitized here, and lived his life Not to mention, there is also a place of peace of mind.

Relying on the remaining incense and divine power from the ruined temple, as well as nourishment from the spirits of the surrounding world, Li Tian Wu God gradually got rid of ignorance and gave birth to consciousness.

"Litian Witch God" was extremely happy, and planned to rebuild witchcraft and restore his former peak strength.

However, it backfired.

Litian Wushen was horrified to find that his natal true spirit had merged with the mountain temple, making them indistinguishable from each other, and he lost even the chance of reincarnation. Can't get through.

This made "Li Tian Wu Shen" extremely angry.

As a former top powerhouse, even if it is just a remnant soul, he knows the fate of "Shinto" very well.

Except for the innate gods, the rest of the gods seem to be aloof, but in fact they are precarious. If they accidentally provoke a strong enemy, they will be dissatisfied and die.

Litian Wu God was not willing to become a small grass-headed wild god, nor was he willing to painstakingly manage the God's Domain. After finally becoming stronger, one day he provoked a strong enemy, was cut down on the mountain and destroyed the temple, and lost his life.

Ever since, he embarked on the road of seeking change, specializing in the study of Shinto.

Speaking of which, Litian Wushen is extremely talented, and he has devoted himself to studying the divine way for hundreds of years, which really allowed him to figure out an unprecedented "Longevity Dafa".

Before Litian Wushen, whether it was a wizard or ordinary people, when offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods, the status of the two parties was extremely unequal.

The ghosts and gods take the absolute initiative, relying on absolute force, coercing the people and the creatures in the region to make offerings and sacrifices, raising all the sentient and intelligent creatures in the region as livestock, and wantonly oppressing them.

As for the "reward" of offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods, it depends on the mood of ghosts and gods.

However, in many cases, ghosts and gods often do not give benefits, and not causing disasters indiscriminately is the greatest "blessing".

However, this Litian Wu God is different.

He is very trustworthy and pays attention to the principle of "equivalent exchange". Anyone who sacrifices to him will have "blessings". Qi, blessings, exercises, supernatural powers, witchcraft. Countless,

It is precisely because "Litian Wushen" is particular about being a "god", his fame and teachings spread like wildfire in Lizhou, and spread quickly, and within a few years, he suddenly changed from a small mountain god who lived in a corner to a Leap into the gods who are full of incense for believers.

He snatched the belief of incense from a group of ghosts, gods, and demons. All parties hated him, but they couldn't do anything about him. He really was at ease and got rid of the original predicament.

After becoming a climate, Litian Wushen still has a strong "awareness of urgency". He knows very well that despite his superficial beauty, great powers, and freedom in Lizhou, in essence, his foundation is too poor. .

His true spirit rests on the small mountain temple. If the mountain temple is discovered, he will undoubtedly be captured by "Ni Lin", controlled by others, and he will end up miserable.

Naturally, Litian Wushen couldn't tolerate this happening, so he chose to "give profit" and teach the weak ghosts and gods the "Litian Blood Sacrifice Dafa" that he had cultivated for many years.

After the ghosts and gods practice the "blood sacrifice method" taught by him, they can communicate with the believers of "Litian Wushen", and then receive offerings and offerings according to the "laws of witches and gods".

To put it simply, Litian Wushen distributed his followers to other ghosts and gods.

At first glance, Litian Wushen has a "Bodhisattva heart" and looks like a good brother to help ghosts and gods. Judging from the results, it can be said that, but his real purpose is still for himself.

First, he taught the "Blood Sacrifice Method" to ghosts and gods, and ghosts and gods everywhere publicized his method, allowing him to increase the speed of believers soaring, and his divine power skyrocketed just by relying on the commission;

Secondly, the ghosts and gods who have practiced the "Blood Sacrifice Dafa" have also become part of Litian Wushen in their divine domain.

Relying on the "Litian Blood Sacrifice", the true spirit of the Litian witch god escaped from the bondage of the small "mountain temple", and the entire "Litian" ghost temple is his ashram.

To this day, the Litian Ghost Temple not only dominates Lizhou, but also spread to the neighboring Yaozhou. It is said that it has also extended its tentacles to the southwest demon kingdom, and the demon court has a great momentum.

"Good guy, this Litian Wushen is really a character."

After reading the file of [Li Tian Wu Shen], Chu Chen was slightly surprised.

The Litian Wushen recorded in the dossier is understated and briefly mentioned, but he is very clear that the other party's journey along the way must be a bloody storm and go through all kinds of difficulties.

Formerly a top level shaman, who is good at voodoo and curse, and knows how to choose and choose. He has built and supported a huge Litian god system, with thousands of incarnations and various methods.
For a while, I understood why the Tianchao Xianting did not go well in opening up territories in Lizhou, Yaozhou and other places, and hit a wall everywhere.

Litian Wushen is a real hard bone!
