Chapter 8 The old heaven is still there, but the new heaven is not seen
Cangjie's arrival was very loud, and the auspicious clouds by the pond filled the sky, attracting the attention of the witches in the city.
Yu Ma was taking several maids to Taizhen Building to pay tribute to Ji Le. Seeing the vision here, she immediately said, "You guys go to Taizhen Building to stabilize the Lord and protect him carefully. I'll go over and take a look!"
The girls came in a car, but Yu Yu despised the beast car's speed and took out an exquisite and small kite from her sleeve. She threw it in the wind: "Change!"
The kite was stimulated by spiritual energy and turned into a bird to carry Yu Xiao to the pond.
But as soon as he turned halfway, he saw several other people either rushing to the place where the strange phenomenon originated. Even the officers guarding the city were alarmed. A group of soldiers ran towards Puzechi under Zhang Le's leadership.
"Zhang Le, please send someone to guard the streets quickly and not allow the people to get close." Yu Ya shouted in the air and called Zhang Le.
"My Excellency Yu?" Zhang Le stopped and ordered the soldiers to form a formation, waiting for Yu Yu to press the flying bird.
On the street not far away, there are still many citizens looking in their direction.
Seeing those curious citizens, Yu Ma said to Zhang Le: "Puzechi is dangerous and I don't know. You can appease the citizens and never let them get close."
"I understand." Zhang Le sent soldiers to persuade him. Because yesterday's incident had not been forgotten, ordinary citizens were curious about this phenomenon, but were worried that some ferocious beast would attack, so they would not bet on their lives. After being persuaded by the soldiers, they returned home one by one, waiting for the final news issued by the Spirit Palace.
But the strange phenomenon in the city could not be hidden at all, so soon the left-behind officials from the royal court came over to ask.
Yu Ma frowned and ordered Zhang Le: "I don't want to see those people in the royal court, you try to stop them. Please go back and continue to handle official duties and wait for the monarch to return."
"good."
"And!" Yu Mai grabbed Zhang Le's shoulder and a sharp look flashed across her face: "Remember, no one else can come close besides me in the Ling Palace." After a pause, Yu Mai hesitated, but still gritted her teeth and said, "Even the old witch, it's not possible. The elder is old, so you must not ask him to work hard on such matters. No one is allowed to harass his purity!"
When Zhang Le saw the strange phenomenon, he obviously realized something. He knew in his heart that this would be another intrigue, and even the turmoil inside the Ling Palace might affect the king.
He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, you, I will send someone to guard it! If they want to pass by, they can only walk on my body!"
Yu Xiao nodded and rushed to the pond.
But the time she talked to Zhang Le was delayed. Before her, two old men in gray robe had already arrived at the pond. However, the two of them watched from afar and did not approach Ji Le and the other two.
Seeing the two, Yu Ma's expression darkened: Why did these two come out of seclusion?
Looking at Ji Le and the other two chatting with Cangjie in the distance, Yu Ma's eyes twitched: "Why is Lord Guoling coming?"
Thinking of the origins of the two old men in gray robe, Yu Ma was nervous, afraid that they would have a strange intention. She hurriedly put away the spell and hid the kite in her sleeve, but a bright smile appeared on her face and walked forward: "Brother Zhao, Bo Qian, have you two come out of seclusion?"
When the two old men saw Yu Mai coming, their expressions relaxed and came over to say hello to her.
The old man surnamed Zhao explained: "There was a bit of a big deal yesterday. The boy knocked on the door and asked me to come out. But he saw the witch maintaining order there and did not show up."
Upon hearing this, Yu Ma frowned: "The two uncles are too cautious. Since they came out of seclusion yesterday, just come to me directly!"
Qian Zhenghe smiled bitterly and said, "How dare we, those who are guilty, show up easily?"
Even if the two of them came to Puzechi one step earlier, they would not dare to come forward to say hello to Ji Le and the other two, but waited for the head of the Ling Palace to come.
The two of them were more worried that someone would make trouble in Puzechi, so they came to help watch.
When the witch heard this, she sighed quietly: "I have heard about the events back then. After many years, why are you both troubles?"
"It's better to avoid suspicion." The old man surnamed Zhao did not want to mention the origins of the two of them, and reminded him: "Sir, the witch, where did those three people come from? You still need to preside over the presidency."
Yu Ma looked at Ji Le and the other two in the distance, and Ji Le also saw him and waved to him.
After thinking about it, Yu Ma said, "This lord is my nobleman in Xia Kingdom. Since the two uncles have come, we will go and pay our respects together."
As she said that, she led the two over to pay homage to Ji Le.
...
After Ji Le and the other two began to discuss the origins of the two after the old man in gray robe appeared.
Ji Le: "These two people have spiritual power fluctuations, and they obviously control the transcendent power. Should they be more than four tripods?"
"Si tripods." The young man's voice was deep: "Although the spiritual power fluctuations on these two old men are strong, they are even worse than Yu Ma."
"But why don't they come? Are they not from the Ling Palace?"
In the Nine Palaces of Luocheng, the ritual of the Lord of the Spirit Palace, many witches practice here. Shouldn’t these two old men be a family with Yu Mama?
"Speaking of this, I didn't see the witches when the ferocious beasts invaded yesterday. They were all witches who were hosting them outside."
When Cangjie listened to the two of them, his face was strange and he wanted to speak but stopped.
When Ji Le saw this, he smiled and said, "The old man here is here to receive a hundred years of incense. He is better than me who are just a newcomer. What advice do you have?"
"Master Guoling, these two warlocks are probably not from the witch lineage, but from the Taiping Sect back then."
"Taiping Cult?" the young man asked strangely: "What is this?"
Hearing the young man's words, Shi Huangshi was surprised: "Why, when you traveled through time, the Taiping system had become extinct in the Eastern Han Dynasty?"
"Time travel? What is this? There is also the Eastern Han Dynasty. I know that the Xia Kingdom was established by ancestors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but what does it have to do with me?"
"Huh? Are you not--"
"Ahem... I'll explain the origin of the youth. He lost his memory and was not clear about many questions." Ji Le interrupted Cangjie's question: "Old man, let's talk about Taiping Sect."
Cangjie was confused, but he still talked about the serious matter.
"Speaking of this, it also has something to do with our origins. Adults should realize that it is not a coincidence that we have traveled here."
"Well, it's impossible that coincidentally, I traveled to the same place with my ancestors in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The overlap between the two travels is too high."
"Two times? It's more than a stop." Cangjie looked strange: "At the beginning of the incense and sacrifice, I saw the five generations of ancestors of the Eastern Han Dynasty with my own eyes."
"Five batches?" Ji Le's face changed. He thought that there was only one wave of ancestors in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and five thousand people came at one time. He established the Xia Kingdom here, claiming to be a different vassal state in the Eastern Han Dynasty. But now it seems that there is something else?
"That's right, 5,000 people at a time. If so many people were missing out of thin air in the Eastern Han Dynasty, how could they have recorded a note in history?"
During peacetime, five thousand people disappeared at the same time, which was enough to alarm the country?
Ji Le has always speculated that it was the time travel of ancestors who fled into the mountains due to war, or the time travel of black households hidden by some aristocratic families.
But if you think about it carefully, Yang Ke's ancestor was a descendant of the Yang family of Hongnong, and a serious family. He traveled through time, which was obviously not that simple. Even the Eastern Han generals "killed good and took credit for their achievements" could not directly attack him, right?
"If it's time traveling in batches, it makes sense."
The fewer people traveling through time at a time is not enough to attract the attention of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"But it is said that it is in batches. The five thousand people who first traveled through time were only divided into three times, which were ancestors who traveled through time during the reign of Emperor Shun of Han. As for the Yang family, it was a later era. However, the interval between these five groups of people appeared in another world was very short, and they all arrived within just five years."
"Then what does this have to do with Taiping Cult?" The young man interrupted: "Old man, let's talk about Taiping Cult!"
In his time, the Taiyi Lord had a prosperous belief. Could it be that the so-called "Taiping Cult"... was it a god worshipped by later dynasties?
Ji Le nodded and said, "I understand what the old man means, and there is another inside story behind the time travel. But this matter has nothing to do with the moment. Let's talk about the Taiping Sect first. Could it be related to the Taiping Taoist that caused chaos in the late Eastern Han Dynasty?"
"No. The Yellow Turban Rebellion of Taiping Dao originated from the period of Emperor Ling. The last group of people of the Eastern Han Dynasty was also the period of Emperor Heng." Cangjie tried to explain it with the words that Ji Le was familiar with: "The Taiping Buddhism I refer to is only the same origin as the Taiping Dao, and the Taoist dynasty is the same as the source of the Taoist dynasty."
Ji Le lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly laughed: "What is the meaning of the old man? The founder of the Taiping Sect in Xia Kingdom was a alchemist during the reign of Emperor Heng of Han. Or, he had to teach the "Taiping Qingling Book"?"
"Huh? Lord Guoling knows a lot."
"In the early years, I heard from my friend." Ji Le smiled and said, "Who is the real founder of "Taiping Qingling Book" is not clear, but in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it must have been earlier than Taiping Road. I understand what the old man means. Could it be that in this world, there were also ancestors of the Eastern Han Dynasty who used "Taiping Qingling Book" to trick a sect, which eventually caused chaos?"
"It would be great if there was a great internal chaos." Cangjie sighed and said, "Cangtian is dead, Huangtian should be established. This is a saying by the spirit of the country. In this world, the Taiping Sect also created a similar slogan. What's worse is that they succeeded and directly became the orthodox sect believed by the ancestors of the Eastern Han Dynasty."
Although there were not many ancestors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, they were really "small but small, all the internal organs were complete." The five ancestors included talents from all walks of life. The monks from the immortal path arrived with the fifth group of ancestors.
Although "The Book of Taiping Qingling" is regarded as the sutra of Taiping Dao's rebellion, it does contain some means of curing diseases and saving people. The magic that was originally regarded as nonsense in the Eastern Han Dynasty was also truly used in the study of Fang Xiandao monks. In addition, because the ancestors of the Eastern Han Dynasty entered another world, people were at a loss, which gave the Taiping Cult to rise.
The practitioners who inherited the "Taiping Qingling Book" and joined forces with a group of people to establish the "Taiping Cult" to educate the Chinese people through magic.
"Originally, as a sect, Taiping Cult was to appease the hearts of the people and bring together the ancestors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was something that the powers were happy to see. But it shouldn't be, and it shouldn't be broken by the slogan "There is the same as the heavens, but the new heavens are not seen."
Taiping Cult uses the homesickness of the Han people to sort out the Taiyi beliefs with Taiping Cult, transforming them into the "God of Huangtian Taiyi" and creating the God of the Han people's own God.
The young man asked curiously: "Huang Tian Taiyi is the other incarnation of Tai Yizhu?"
Cangjie did not answer, but said to Ji Le: "Look, another person who believes it, it's no wonder that the Taiping Cult was prosperous back then!"
When the Han Dynasty worshipped "Tai Yizhu", Zhang Jiao's Taiping Dao distorted the divine character of Tai Yizhu and respected it as the supreme god.
"But doing this will undoubtedly anger the local gods." Ji Le covered his face: "I can already guess the result later. It should be that the local gods were furious and destroyed the Taiping Sect?"
"Yes. 'Therefore, heaven is still there, and there is no new heaven'. Where can the ancestors respect the Lord Huang Tian, and how can they respect the gods here?"
Looking at the dynasties, only the Han Dynasty was defeated by force. The Han people were full of confidence and built their own system of gods in another world. This move undoubtedly angered the local gods. Regardless of those lands, the supreme god worshipped by the Taiping Cult is the Lord of the Sky, pointing directly at the Heavenly Father, one of the two great creation gods.
"The myth respected in this world is the 'dual creationism'. The world was created by the gods of heaven and earth, and its status is equivalent to our Emperor and Empress Earth. The consequence of not respecting the gods is that the Taiping Cult and another great city established by the year, "Tianjiao City", were turned into ashes by thunder."
Cangjie's words were dull, but Ji Le and the young man were not unable to hear the bloody and murderous intent hidden behind them.
If you respect the gods of the hometown and anger the gods of this world, the result of being forced to stand out will inevitably be a thunderbolt.
"Haha..." Ji Le smiled: "No wonder the old man spent so much time saying this. In fact, he reminded me that there should be a choice in the spiritual submission ceremony?"
Ji Le is the spirit of the country, and Cangjie is summoned by him, so it is natural that he can't say directly: Apart from me, don't summon other god-level figures that may exist.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Cangjie's old face and he whispered: "Try not to summon those conflicting existences."
For example, the Chinese ancestors who may affect the status of gods in this world.
Fuxi, Shennong, Xuanyuan, etc. all have the position of Emperor of Heaven in Chinese sacrifices, and are known as the Five Emperors Zuo Haotian. If they really summoned, would they declare war on the gods in this world directly and rule them out?
Let’s talk about the Earth God. Although the Earth Mother God in this world has fallen, if you ask Nuwa to gather the authority of the earth, aren’t you afraid that the whole world will only unite and cause trouble for Xia Kingdom?
In the final analysis, Xia Kingdom is too weak at present. It does not have the confidence to summon those powerful beings and protect itself.
Cangjie was proficient in history and naturally understood that what Xia Kingdom needed to do most at present was to develop population and recuperate. But he was worried that Ji Le, a time traveler, was ungrateful and violated taboos, and kept his eyes on the ancestral god of China. He deliberately used the example of Taiping Cult to remind him tactfully.
"A dragon can be big or small, can hide or reveal. When it is weak, it hides between rivers and snakes to accompany it. When it is strong, it is the only one who soars in the sky."
"Don't worry, old man, I have a sense of summoning Chinese heroes. I have also recorded the Taiping Cult. From this point of view, the two people in the distance are the Taiping Cult? I am very interested in Taiping Cult. Um... Don't worry, I have no plans to establish a new world."
At least not now.
"Okay, Yu Mama is here. Old man, remember your identity. You are the god I invited from my hometown to bring these tribes from a foreign land back to your hometown."
Ji Le waved to Yu Ma and greeted the three people in the distance.
