Chaoge, ancestral temple.
Green smoke is lingering, the deeds of the ancestors of the Great Shang Dynasty are carved on the big pillars, the mountains and rivers are carved with gold paint on the spacious stone walls, and the black bird totem hangs high in the sky.
The young man was wearing a very noble white robe, sitting on the ground and looking around blankly at this splendid and extremely solemn hall.
The nine-day black bird and various terrifying beasts embroidered on the white robe have already shown his identity. He fell into a deep sleep in the ancestral temple decades ago, the spokesperson of the ancestors and gods, and the great blessing of the Shang Dynasty - Ziyao.
After seeing these exquisite buildings, Baiyao fell into deep thought.
According to the information in his memory, he traveled to the Shang Dynasty.
With the productivity of the Shang Dynasty in history, could such a building be built?
Before time travel, Baiyao was a young man who loved the history of Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and longed for the customs and customs of these ancient dynasties.
But after traveling through time, he only felt scared.
Many human sacrifice pits and oracle bone inscriptions unearthed during the Shang Dynasty have shown that it was an extremely bloody and barbaric dynasty, and human sacrifice was reflected at all levels of society.
The princes and nobles performed divination as frequently as they drank water. They had to divination big and small things. In addition to tortoise shells, the tools for divination also included prisoners of war and slaves.
But the productivity at that time was limited. If you wanted to build a huge palace, you might be able to solve it with manpower, but what happened to so many gorgeous gold and silver utensils?
He got up and went to the altar dedicated to the ancestors of all generations, and picked up a black bird statue made of pure gold.
The feathers came to life, shrouded in a great sun, with vivid golden flames burning around them.
Could the Shang Dynasty have such craftsmanship?
The memories of the original body were still merging, and Baiyao felt his head was dizzy.
Suddenly, he was stunned, and there was a trace of panic on his delicate face.
"This place...could it be the Conferred God?"
As the memories kept coming back, the boy's face became paler.
He was Da Zhu, the transcendent "high priest" of the Shang Dynasty. In this dynasty where the divine power was far greater than the royal power in some aspects, the power of life and death he held was even greater than that of the Shang king.
Decades ago, the original body sacrificed tens of thousands of sacrifices for divination. As a result, the body not only rejuvenated, but also fell into a deep sleep.
The king of Shang at that time was Emperor Yi.
The Grand Master is Wen Zhong.
A muscular middle-aged man with three eyes riding a Mo Qilin appeared in Baiyao's memory.
"Holy shit!"
It's Wen Zhong! The boss of the Lei Department after becoming a god!
Then isn't this place more dangerous than the real Shang Dynasty!
King Wu's defeat of Zhou can be regarded as a historical necessity of dynasty change, but if there is a group of saints behind it, then my big wish...
Baiyao's worried heart finally flew away, King Zhou finally burned himself in Lutai, but the novel did not write about the final ending of the high priest of the Shang Dynasty!
Judging from the crazy methods used to cover up the history of the Shang Dynasty after the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, the head of the Shang Dynasty’s theocracy may not have disappeared in a physical sense!
Baiyao covered his head, trying to find evidence from his memory that this was not the world of gods.
At this moment, a cold voice sounded in his mind.
[You have been bound to the "Dashang Guoyun System"]
[This system was originally the spirit of great business and national destiny, and operates in a form that every great wish can understand]
system? !
Baiyao slowly raised his head, his expression calmer.
"With Golden Finger here, maybe we can escape from Chaoge and go to seek immortality..."
[Please note that if the national fortune drops to zero, you will be out of your mind]
[Please note that if the Shang Dynasty is destroyed due to King Shang, you will also be left alive]
"That's the saint who wants to destroy Shang!"
Baiyao's retort echoed in the empty hall.
But the system seems to have no spirituality and just continues to introduce its functions mechanically:
[You can use national luck to deduce, enshrine landscape gods, deify ancestors, etc.]
[Current national luck: 120 points (negative status: state-owned rebellion, reduced by 3 points every year)
Deducing an individual: consume 50 points of national luck to predict what will happen to an individual in the next month. The specific effect is affected by the identity of the other party.
Deducing national affairs: Spending 1,000 national fortune points can predict the direction of a major national event.
Deducing the general trend of heaven and earth: It consumes 50,000 points of national luck to divine the vague direction of the general trend of heaven and earth. The effect is not affected by the catastrophe.
…]
It has many functions but is basically unusable.
The national destiny was too little. Baiyao took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and asked:
"How to increase national fortune?"
[Sacrificing royal moths to ancestors, offering sacrifices to the Great Shang gods, and driving away alien gods within the territory can directly increase national luck]
[Edict the gods of mountains and rivers, let the people love big businessmen, and sustainably increase the national destiny]
[The system is the spirit of the national destiny and will help you stabilize the national destiny at any time]
After understanding the system functions, Baiyao began to analyze the current situation.
After sleeping for decades, Di Yi was afraid that he would have died early.
Then the current King of Shang is the famous Emperor Xin Zishou, the last monarch of the Shang Dynasty.
According to the description in Fengshen Yanyi, this King Zhou did a lot of bad things that affected the fate of the country, leading to the demise of the Shang Dynasty...
Baiyao made up his mind that in order to survive, he had to stop Di Xin from ruining the country's destiny.
And his biggest reliance is Da Zhu’s identity.
As the dynasty with the most prosperous theory of ghosts and gods in history, the Shang Dynasty had its own divine system. The supreme god was the emperor, also called God or the Emperor of Heaven.
Of course, this is a conceptual god, not the lonely man sitting in the heaven.
In addition, there are natural gods composed of wind, river, sun and moon, and ancestral gods composed of ancestors, ministers and people.
Da Zhu is the agent of all gods in the human world and the only link to communicate with gods.
The founder of the Shang Dynasty burned himself in soup to pray for rain. Maybe he was tied to the great blessing at that time.
This means that he has absolute say in matters of ghosts and gods.
After all, important national affairs are in the military service.
Now we have to figure out the timeline, where is the plot?
Baiyao stepped to the entrance of the palace, looked at the luxurious palaces, and began to assume the role of Da Zhu.
With a glance, he saw three guards patrolling on the side, with their backs to him.
The three of them had no idea anyone was watching them.
Baiyao looked solemn, tried his best to look like a magic stick, and walked quietly behind them:
"You three are the only ones guarding the ancestral temple?"
The sound was not loud, but it really rang in the ears of the guards.
"who!?"
The three guards were startled and quickly stood up and drew the sword from their waists.
But when they saw the young man's face, they panicked.
As a soldier guarding the ancestral temple, he usually has nothing to do except cleaning.
Therefore, they can pay homage to Da Zhu’s “remains” from 360 degrees without blind spots.
——A living corpse that has been rejuvenated.
Good luck waking up!
The three guards felt their scalps numb, and they quickly threw away their weapons and knelt down, not daring to say a word.
Baiyao's voice was smooth, "Didn't you hear my question?"
One of the guards began to tremble. If they were not assigned to the ancestral temple, how could they have come into contact with such a person.
This is not Da Zhu asking him at all, but the gods and ancestors asking him!
"Great blessing! In addition to our ancestral temple, there is an army of eight hundred people stationed! After you fell asleep, the late king ordered to protect your body! The army has not evacuated yet!"
He replied with suppressed excitement.
When Baiyao heard this, he sighed inwardly. Emperor Yi was indeed dead, but in order to pretend to be more realistic, he still asked:
"Who is the current king?"
"It's the third son of the late king!"
The guards said in unison, their voices hot.
Baiyao nodded and pretended not to care:
"Where is the king now?"
The leading guard thought for a while and said:
"Today is the Christmas Eve of Empress Nuwa. The king and his ministers went to Nuwa Palace to offer incense."
Baiyao's little heart beat suddenly, and he couldn't hold himself back and said:
"Have you all gone to Nuwa Palace?!"
