"I still vaguely remember that when I was making a human out of clay, the little people gathered around me and called me mother. I had to be careful even when I turned around, for fear of crushing someone with my tail. I didn't expect that after so many years, there would be so many human races. It’s all over the world.”
On the flower stand dragged by dozens of giant elephants, Nuwa, who had transformed into legs, waved to the people on the street and warned Di Xin:
"As a human emperor, you should take it as your own responsibility to bless the people of the world. You need to distinguish between loyal and traitorous people. Close friends with virtuous ministers and stay away from villains. You must not indulge in pleasure and only listen to slander."
Di Xin nodded solemnly, "I will be a good human emperor."
Nuwa looked at Baiyao on the other side and said:
"I can't see through you, nor can I see through any of the great wishes. Your position in humanity is very special."
Baiyao thought for a moment and said:
"Now that I have the luck of humanity, I will do all the things of humanity."
Nuwa's eyes flashed and she asked:
“What is the humane thing to do?”
Baiyao thought for a moment and replied seriously:
"Holding a lamp for the human race in the long night, overcoming thorns and thorns to open a way forward."
"What if it's dawn?"
Nuwa asked, as if she was looking for some answer.
Dawn?
What is the problem?
Baiyao buried his head in thought.
Nuwa was not in a hurry and waited quietly.
After a long time, Baiyao pursed his lips and said seriously:
"I only believe in the light in my hand."
"Only believe in the lamp in your hand..." Nuwa repeated Baiyao's answer and suddenly smiled: "Well said."
Her voice was extremely gentle, she looked forward and whispered:
"Human sacrifices and killings are too heavy, and the karma accumulated by the Dashang royal family has reached an irreparable point. If the fate of the country is counterattacked by karma in the future, is there a way to solve it?"
Nuwa is the supreme human being, but that doesn’t mean she knows everything about human nature.
She stood at the pinnacle of humanity, but there was more than one way up the mountain.
The Supreme is just a position, but the Tao is the rule that makes up everything in the world.
The way of heaven explains the rules through a system of practice.
Humanity shows existence in terms of location.
In the past, Nuwa could easily increase the national destiny of a certain dynasty of the human race, but since the emergence of Da Zhu, the national destiny of the human race has become more mysterious and mysterious, and it is no longer under her control.
Baiyao looked solemn, the information Nuwa revealed was really important.
Human sacrifice was originally a matter of moral torture for him. After fusing the memory, he could completely accept it and change it subtly and find a replacement sacrifice.
But now, because this life is closely related to the fate of the country, it has become a matter of life and death.
There was no other way, so he replied:
"I will use other methods to stabilize the country's destiny."
At this time, Di Xin, who had been thinking for a long time, suddenly said:
"How about killing less and presenting more rare treasures?"
Baiyao was stunned for a moment. Di Xin's words crossed the boundary of power between the two of them. It was up to him to decide what to use for sacrifice, and others could not even make suggestions.
But just in time, he also wanted to reach out to the court.
"It was the fate of the country that was affected by karma that caused me to fall into a deep sleep. The ancestors were tired of killing."
Baiyao once again used his power to explain ghosts and gods to make up random things.
The system does not stipulate the sacrifices required for sacrifices. You can only get the 500 points of national luck with anything.
What matters is the ritual.
The reason for using human life for sacrifice is to make others feel fear, and the fear can elevate the meaning of sacrifice to an unprecedented level.
With deterrence and ideological restraint, power will be firmly concentrated in the hands of a few people.
I have to say that the first Da Zhu really understood this.
Nuwa was surprised for a moment, with a strange look on her face, thinking:
"Didn't you fall asleep because you stretched out your hand and suffered a counterattack from heaven?"
Di Xin did not expect that this was the reason for Baiyao's deep sleep. With a serious expression, he immediately said: "Then it would be better to give up the human sacrifice."
Baiyao shook his head:
"It can be reduced in large quantities, but cannot be discarded. Anyone who threatens our rule as a great merchant must be sacrificed."
He continued to Di Xin:
"Usually, with the help of my ancestors, I find traitors in the court, royal worms, and civil gangsters. I sacrifice them. My ancestors will be very happy, and I will not fall asleep again."
When Di Xin heard Baiyao's words, he took a deep breath, nodded and said:
"Ancestor Saint, I hope Da Zhu will take the trouble to find the traitor who threatens Chengtang's foundation. After the Grand Master went to war, he became a lonely man in the court. No one dares to believe it."
Good manpower is put there and not used. Killing with one knife is too wasteful.
Di Xin wants to change this situation, and what he needs most is Baiyao's support, even if he is allowed to intervene in court affairs.
"It is our duty to protect the country."
Di Xin showed his sincerity, and it was impossible for Baiyao to be spared, and said with a smile:
"I heard that after the king ascended the throne, he proposed to reduce the number of human animals. I thought that when I was sleeping, my ancestors used you to warn the merchants. I am very lucky."
Compared to Baiyao's sobriety, Di Xin, who was as superstitious as other royals, did not think that he was trading. Instead, he felt that he was a king recognized by his ancestors, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
In a few words, the two helped each other complete the extension of power.
After the city tour was over, Baiyao and Di Xin invited Nuwa back to the palace to watch the singing and dancing.
Di Xin said enthusiastically:
"It is a dance drama rehearsed by Gu Mingren who selects professionals from among the people and tells the story of the empress making stones to mend the sky."
Baiyao, in line with the choice of flattering others, echoed:
"The dancer who plays the role of the Empress is the most beautiful in the world. Although she is not one ten thousandth as beautiful as the Empress, fortunately her acting skills are excellent and her singing voice is moving."
Nuwa smiled and shook her head:
"I won't go to the palace. I am already very happy."
The celebrations around me suddenly quieted down, and time seemed to be suspended, with everything frozen in place.
Baiyao looked around and found that even Di Xin had also been suspended.
"My dear, this is..."
Nuwa's purple eyes became worried and she whispered:
"The catastrophe is approaching, and I am helpless about many things, such as the Xuanyuan Tomb Fox Demon whose true spirit has been imprisoned."
Catastrophe? The Great Tribulation of the Gods?
Although Baiyao was unsure, he still said in a deep voice:
"I once deduced the general trend of the world and had a glimpse of the future. The fox demon was the leader of the trouble. Now he has recognized his master and cannot turn over the storm."
When Nuwa heard that he had really calculated something, she still shook her head in surprise and said:
"You fell asleep because you stole the secret, but the secret has long been messed up and cannot be trusted."
She stared at Baiyao and asked bluntly:
"What you saw was that the Zixiao Palace signed the list of gods? The Zhou Dynasty was prosperous and the Great Shang was destroyed?"
Baiyao's face was full of astonishment. He opened his mouth in surprise and said nothing, and his eyes were as wide as walnuts.
How do you know the reason for my deep sleep?
Do you still know the plot?
In the original novel, you were used as a gunman.
His reaction verified Nuwa's guess. She looked solemn and said to herself:
"Your awakening and what you learned just prove that the real catastrophe cannot be replaced at will. After all, once you intervene, everything that has been decided will change."
"But the false catastrophe has already begun, and they will not stop. They can only take one step at a time."
Nuwa's figure began to become illusory, and she said solemnly:
"I want to go back and think of ways to deal with the real catastrophe, hoping to save the human and demon tribes. Tell me what you need now, and I will see if I can give it to you without telling them."
It was a real catastrophe and a fake catastrophe. Baiyao's scalp was numb when he heard it, but he still reacted immediately:
"I want...I want to practice the classics and magic weapons!"
