I'm a priest in North America, and I'm my own god.

Chapter 121 This Dub Sima is very ambitious (1/3 please vote)

The formerly dilapidated houses in Rainbow Town are now suddenly more expensive.

Whether it’s a house that was repossessed because no one paid the taxes, or a house that’s been inhabited and has been paying taxes every year and is now dilapidated.

It's more expensive now, but there are still many people waving their checks to buy.

However, John had already told all the residents in the town that he would rather expand his house and rent it out than allow them to buy or sell.

This would be a big loss!

For John, the residents of the town are still very convinced.

Because he is now the most senior believer in the town's god Dubosima, he will naturally not harm them.

They went to the bank for loans, went to the town to get permits, expanded their houses, or started building houses for rent on their own land.

It’s so easy to build a house in América. It’s all finished wood. You can order it and someone will deliver it to you and assemble it to make a house.

Then after a little decoration, it can be rented out, and it is very popular!

There are also many people traveling, especially now that the Internet society and information are so developed, any disturbance can shock everyone.

So many big names from all over the world gathered together to celebrate the completion of the Sima Temple in Dubos. How could anyone suppress their curiosity and not come to study what kind of temple this was?

Especially in the East, this Oriental Temple in a remote place in America, Texas, has become somewhat famous in the East and even in the Chinese community in America.

Such as now.

Two young people from the East, a man and a woman, came here because of the sight. As soon as their car arrived at the entrance of Rainbow Town, they saw that a large stone covered with red cloth was being sacrificed at the entrance of the town.

A large number of people were holding a sacrificial ceremony. Pig heads, chickens, ducks, melons, fruits, incense candles, etc. were all offered. There were many people watching, and some even stood on the roof of the car.

So these two oriental young people stopped the car, joined the onlookers, and also stepped on the roof of the car.

He asked the cowboy on the roof of the car next to him: "Hey, man, are you from here? Do you know what this is doing?"

"No!"

When the cowboy in the car next to him heard this, he looked at him as if he were a fool: "If I were local, I would be directly among the worshipers. Do you know how much the houses and land here have increased to now?

If I were a local, I would have become a millionaire! "

After saying that, he looked at the two Orientals in surprise and asked, "Are you footbath people?"

"No, no, no, man, I'm very friendly to you, but you shouldn't be so insulting!"

Oriental men express their opinions to each other very seriously.

The cowboy raised his eyebrows: "Sorry, I don't mean any harm.

I have been listening to Jimmy Young's talk show recently, just to understand the thinking of Eastern people.

Jimmy Young's talk show said that there was a black guy who called an Oriental a footbath man and got a beating.

I just wanted to see if I would get beaten if I called you a footbath person! "

Jimmy Young's talk show...

The Eastern man glanced at the revolver on his waist: "Man, this joke is not funny at all. You should try it in a gun-ban state.

However, most people will not hit someone for a quarrel. At most, they will just explain clearly.

If you want to chase him and say that the other person is a footbath person, it is normal to get beaten like this!

Because it's really a bit insulting! "

The cowboy also smiled and apologized: "Sorry, I really suspected you were from the Southern Dynasties just now, because you don't understand the Eastern ritual of establishing a society."

Establish a society?

And it’s an Eastern ritual?

What the other party said was a transliterated word, because there is no such word in English. The man obviously heard what the Orientals said and copied it.

The man glanced at the woman next to him: "Yanzi, have you ever heard of the ceremony of establishing a society?"

The woman named Yanzi shook her head: "I haven't heard of it, but since it happened in Rainbow Town, and the sacrifices included pig heads, chickens, ducks, fish, flowers and fruits, it should be an Eastern ritual.

It’s just that we have lived in the city since we were young, and we have never seen or heard of this kind of ceremony. "

A voice said a little abruptly beside their car:

“Establish a society.

This ritual has a history of nearly ten thousand years in the East, or it can be said that this ritual has been around since there were human tribes.

At that time, human tribes were still in the totem age, and societies at that time were just totem poles.

Later it evolved into a tree or a stone.

Before a village is established, a community must be established first. This is the tradition passed down from ancient times to the Oriental people. "

The three of them looked back and found a somewhat elegant old Eastern man in his sixties or seventies.

Being stared at by the three people, the old man smiled back and expressed his apology for interrupting.

"I'm sorry, but my working habits over the years have made me a bit of a teacher!"

The two Oriental men and women quickly waved their hands: "It's okay, this is a knowledge point that we don't know, and it's up to you to tell it.

However, can you always tell me why it is necessary to establish a community first before establishing a village? "

The old man was very satisfied with the politeness of the young man and woman and thought it would be okay to explain.

"Totem culture has existed since ancient times. Whether in Asia, Africa, Europe or even the Americas, primitive tribes will have totem culture worship.

These places were not connected in ancient times, but why they all developed totem worship culture in the ancient tribal period has also been discussed in academic circles.

Maybe you don’t know what totems represent, but those who have studied history and ancient legends probably know that totems represent the function of protecting the ethnic group.

In the past, when some of our students were doing research, they just thought that the ancients were ignorant and superstitiously believed that a tree or a stone could protect their tribe or ethnic group.

Later, when I got to know more deeply, I discovered that it is not the totem that can protect the ethnic group, but the ancestral spirits in the totem that can protect the ethnic group.

Totem is the original underworld, a movable underworld, and a place that can accommodate the souls of ancestors.

In very early times, there was no hell in myths and legends, only the underworld.

And the underworld is not the underworld.

It is a tribal totem, a place carved out for the souls of ancestors to inhabit.

The souls of dead people will go into the totem, which is later the [community] to continue living.

It is similar to a paradise suitable for souls to live in.

Later generations use incense to worship the souls of their ancestors to support their existence and growth. When the tribe or tribe of descendants is attacked by mountain spirits and monsters, the souls of these ancestors will come out to fight for their descendants.

Because the bloodline is cut off, there will be no incense to worship them, and they can only perish in the underworld. This is why Easterners attach great importance to the continuation of their heirs.

This is why Easterners usually take their ancestors’ spiritual tablets or urns with them when they migrate or move.

This is so that when the ancestors set up a community in the newly relocated village, they can move in and protect themselves.

When the village was first established, the ethnic group was at its most vulnerable. With the blessing of our ancestors, we were protected from the harm caused by mountain spirits and ghosts! "

The stories were novel and the young men and women who listened to them were fascinated, but they had a problem.

"Isn't there the underworld and the ten palaces of Yama?"

The old man smiled and shook his head: "In ancient times, there was no underworld, let alone the Ten Palaces of Yama.

According to religious legends and ancient mythological materials, the underworld was originally just one village after another. Later, these villages were connected to become towns, and the towns were connected to become cities.

Jiangshan Sheji, She represents the earth in the east, and Ji is the grain, but the underworld beneath the earth represented by She is also among them.

Connected to form an underworld that spreads across the entire land.

In this way, the underworld expanded from scratch and became the foundation of the entire underworld, and the two rulers of the underworld, Taishan Fujun and Houtu Empress, were born.

Later, some people took a fancy to the souls of this world in the underworld, and there were the underworld and the eighteen levels of hell.

Now...hehe..."

The old man looked at the worshiping crowd over there and laughed twice.

"This Dub Sima has great ambitions. Does he want to open up the underworld in America?"
