Chapter 141: The Gao Clan(1/2)
The Wei Dynasty, Shen Tianfu.
The eight-hundred-mile plain is covered with fertile farmland, with a boundary river flowing through it, and country houses standing next to each other.
It has the largest and densest population in the entire Wei Dynasty, the richest land, most of the powerful families, and the best part of the Wei Dynasty.
But a majestic mountain stood alone in the center.
It is obviously not the highest mountain in the Wei Dynasty, so it appears to be particularly prominent, tall and sacred.
Just like the emperor who lords over the universe, everyone says that this place has the aura of a dragon.
Therefore, the capital of the Wei Dynasty was built under this mountain and was called Gaojing.
There is an altar built on the mountain. Before the emperors of the Wei Dynasty ascended the throne, they had to go up the mountain to worship the gods at the altar.
Only in this way can he be recognized by heaven and gods and succeed to the throne of emperor.
A thick fog arose in the early morning, spreading from the mountain to the bottom, and the entire high Kyoto was in darkness.
When the wind blows, the thick fog in the early morning disperses, revealing the scene above Mount Di.
I saw that on the mountain cliff facing the capital, there was a huge statue that spread from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
The stone statue of the god is sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking up at the sky and the sea of clouds, overlooking everything in Gaojing.
And appearance.
He looks very similar to Gao Xian, only a little older.
"Chirp!"
At this moment, a golden divine bird flew across the sky, its wings shining with light in the sun, and it flew straight to the sacred mountain under the sky.
The sacred bird hovers under the statue.
Falling towards Gao Jingnei in the vast fog.
————————
Gaojing City is connected in all directions, with streets tens of meters wide, like squares.
Because it is too wide, people not only walk back and forth, but also cross each other in front, back, left, right, and across.
The houses and various buildings in the city are also completely different from those of the Zhou Dynasty, full of the style of ancient dynasties and extremely religious.
Statues of various gods and ghosts stand in front of and behind the door, with exaggerated and ferocious faces.
There are also statues of little ghosts and strange beasts on the eaves and corners.
Lanterns are hung at the door of every house, and the same is true on the streets.
Early in the morning, before dawn, a funeral procession walked away along the street.
It's called a funeral, but it's extremely weird.
Because there was no coffin, everyone was just carrying a white sedan, and everyone wore masks of evil spirits, which looked extremely scary.
The old man in the sedan was not dead either.
Instead, he tried his best to support himself, as if waiting for a certain moment, until then, he could die in peace.
Rushing in front of the white sedan, a man wearing a ghost mask held a lantern and shouted in a weird accent.
"Yin people go on the road! Yang people stay away!"
"The soul returns to the underworld and enjoys bliss forever."
"..."
"Yin people go on the road! Yang people stay away!"
"The soul returns to the underworld and enjoys bliss forever."
When the people who got up early on the street saw this scene, they gave way one after another and did not dare to block it.
This is a custom in the land of the gods of the Great Wei Dynasty. Old people who are about to die will be sent underground.
Legend has it that death is just the beginning.
There is also the underworld under the earth. After death, people can enter the underworld and enjoy the life of the underworld.
There is a blessed place in the underworld, where there is no disease or disaster.
There are also gods for protection.
However, if you want to enter the underworld, you must send them in before death.
In this way, their souls will go straight to the netherworld.
Otherwise, you can only become a lonely ghost and suffer torture in the human world until your soul is gone.
The funeral procession went straight and arrived in front of a temple in the city.
But it says - Jie Ya.
"Life and death are coming!"
"Reincarnation starts!"
"open!"
A mage in white clothes had been waiting here early, shouting slogans.
He ordered people to open the temple door and welcome the funeral procession and the white sedan to enter.
Under the pillars of the corridor in the temple, men and women dressed in white are kneeling on the ground on both sides, forming a passage for the dead to go on their way.
The mourners didn't dare to stop for a step and went straight to a main hall.
There are no gods in the temple, only a huge deep well that exudes an eerie and cold air.
According to the legend of the Wei Dynasty, people are sent to the entrance of the underworld.
There are also writings on the left and right sides of the main hall, which are said to be inscriptions.
On the left is: "The Well of the Underworld."
On the right is: "Gate to the Netherworld."
Everyone carried the sedan to the top of the well, tied it with permanent chains, and lowered it down.
"Crash!"
"Crash!"
With the sound of chains.
The sedan sank all the way down, and the bottom could not be seen with the naked eye, and no mourners dared to look.
There are such boundary offices everywhere in the Wei Dynasty, the government offices of the underworld.
There is a Yin Well in every boundary office, but the ones in Shentian Mansion and Capital City are the most special.
The dark wells here seem to really lead to the netherworld and are bottomless.
Everyone knelt on the ground to send the Yin man on his way. Unexpectedly, there was movement in the sky at this moment.
The cold morning was foggy, and golden light shone in the sky.
It was the golden divine bird that passed by from the sky, and everyone knelt directly on the ground.
Don't dare to look up.
He didn't dare to get up until the shadow disappeared.
The golden divine bird arrived directly at the largest boundary office next to the palace.
Fold its wings and fall down.
As many mages and disciples knelt to greet him, the head of the sacred bird struggled violently, and then turned into a man's head.
The wings all over his body continued to converge and rise, turning into skin.
The body size is also gradually shrinking.
Hands and feet stretched out.
Finally, he turned into a tall and mighty young man.
This completely breaks the previous belief of Taoist people that people turned into monsters, but instead the spirits turned into people.
This is a completely independent ethnic group that has nothing to do with humans.
And it seems that it should have appeared not long ago. It only appeared in the Wei Dynasty within a hundred years, and even Si Tianjian has never seen or known about it.
A mage in white waved his hand.
The two women came up and put a dark divine robe on the demon, with golden patterns on it and the talisman patterns that represented the gods in the Wei Dynasty.
The loose divine robe could not cover the demon's strong body, and his thick black hair spread over his shoulders.
Several mages bowed down.
"See Huzhou Sun Traveling God."
