The old man raised a finger.
"one?"
Bai Ya was confused and looked at the old man's fingers in confusion. The old man frowned and raised his eyebrows twice.
"What do you mean?"
Qi Huan and Ao Yan didn't say anything because they didn't know what the old man meant. The old man felt a headache and had a certain degree of doubt about the intelligence of the three people.
"in the sky."
"Oh... Hey, you should have told me earlier." Qi Huan raised his hand, quite embarrassed.
The three people looked up at the sky in unison. There were no stars and the moonlight was dim. Now, the moon was also obscured by thick clouds, leaving only a faint stain-like light. Instead, the undulating outline of the clouds was clearly illuminated. They lowered their heads again and looked at the slightly tired old man. Qi Huan asked:
"Then... what should we do now? We should get out of here, right?"
"Let's go. If you don't believe in Poseidon, then this place is not suitable for you. You should find other beliefs. People without faith cannot survive in the Nine Heavens Kingdom. You are detaining boys and girls, and you are afraid that you will offend Poseidon. Sir... let's go quickly and get out of here before the situation gets serious."
"What should you do?" Aoyan asked, "What should you do?"
"Lord Poseidon will not embarrass us. I have lived for more than seventy years, and this is not far behind. You are still young."
"But I don't believe in anything." Bai Ya's tone was light, "I only believe in myself."
"Young man, you are still young and don't know the dangers of Jiutian Kingdom..."
"Don't bother talking. I know that those two children said that worshiping gods is ultimately to ascend to heaven and become immortals. What does this have to do with the gods you said live in the sky? We can't see it. .”
The old man tilted his head back slightly. Although he didn't mean to be profound, he picked up his beard again and spent a lot of time explaining to them what the so-called "god" was.
"God" is a supreme being that is invisible and untouchable. Gods are gods above gods, heavens beyond heaven, and heavenly beings are humans beyond humans. The other gods not only recognized the existence of the gods, but also admired them. Of course, the seven gods could not give specific evidence: they believed that their own existence was the evidence itself. If you ask the seven gods to describe the appearance of the gods, the answer you will get is that it cannot be seen or said.
But what people are sure of is that if you can become a heavenly being, you will definitely have endless joy.
In this world, by believing in and worshiping these tangible gods, one can also enjoy endless glory and wealth. Really relying on plundered resources will offend the interests of "lower people". God does not interfere and only makes choices. You can stop here, and through various efforts approved by the gods, obtain gold and silver, wealth, and beauties without having to worry about any guilt - you deserve it. If your heart is as kind as jade, the gods will give you another kind of reward, which is spiritual enjoyment. For example, a dream, a beautiful dream that you will never wake up from, you can control the wind and rain and do whatever you want.
God and man are very close. Human belief is the cornerstone of the existence of gods. The bigger and stronger the belief becomes, the power of the gods will expand and become boundless. The gods will select some of the believers, reward them, and give them a substantial feedback. In this way, more believers will strengthen their beliefs and attract more people to become their believers. People are limited, and resources are also limited. Sometimes, gods will use their own abilities and means to fight for and dig out what they want. But in the final analysis, they are all bridges between humans and gods.
Your faith provides power to the gods, but you can also do more than that. Human desires are endless, and as desires expand, so does inertia. In the face of considerable benefits, there is nothing wrong with some people stopping and being satisfied with the status quo. If you want to go one step further and move toward the existence of heavenly beings who are closest to the gods alongside the seven gods, you need to obtain the approval of the seven gods. No one knows the specific method, because people still cannot get rid of the shackles of the physical body, and it is easy to be immersed in the sight of the dogs and horses in front of them, forgetting the strength to move upward in the first place. What's more, gods are just like humans, with their own unique grudges and grudges. How can this be understood by mere mortal humans? Not to mention, it must be compatible with the approval of seven gods at the same time. As for the so-called "recognition" form, even if you ask them, they won't tell you.
Next, the old man provided them with more information. Although it is very limited, it is enough to give them a preliminary understanding of the situation in Jiutian Kingdom.
Poseidon is the master of the entire sea. Yaksha is his divine envoy, responsible for conveying each other's thoughts, bridging the relationship between the two, and slowly building a complete image in the hearts of believers. There is God but no form - only the concept of the existence of Poseidon is deeply rooted in people's hearts. The entity is just an insignificant body, so there is no need to worry about it.
The treasure of Poseidon is in the possession of Yaksha, but no one has ever seen it. But the old man said that it was probably a kind of long weapon: a special halberd. He was lucky enough to see this object when he was young, and the powerful spiritual power it contained was beyond imagination.
The Dragon God is also different from the elusive and mysterious dragon they know. The Dragon God of the Nine Heavens Kingdom is the Dragon of the Sea of Disaster, living under the abyss. The magnificent Dragon Palace is built on the deep seabed. No one can reach that place alive. The huge pressure will crush anything on land. The intersection between Yaksha and the Dragon Clan is unknown. There are very few people on land who believe in the Dragon God, so they will not be targeted by Yaksha. However, the old man said that there were rumors that someone had seen a beautiful shark in an inaccessible place. Maybe the followers of the Dragon God belong to another group, and his form of existence is also very special.
Naturally, the Dragon God’s treasure is nowhere to be found.
The name of the python god is Mahulaka, which is also called an earth dragon. He walks around without legs and rarely appears. He might be a man or a woman; he might be a snake with a human head or a snake with a human head - those changes in appearance don't matter. A temple belonging to him was built in the distant woods and deep swamps. A large number of faithful men and women often came here to worship him and pray for blessings. However, it is rumored that the Python God is a deity who destroys the precepts and flatters people. He is angry and gives little, and he is a god with an eccentric personality. In order to avoid unintentionally offending the python god and making unnecessary sacrifices, people formed a clergy team dedicated to communicating with the gods to serve as a link between the two parties.
In the temple of the Python God, it is said that the treasures of the Python God are enshrined.
The name of the incense god is Gandharva, and it is said that he is a male-looking god wearing an octagonal crown. He holds a jade flute in his left hand and an incense burner in his right hand. He and his people all exude fragrant and fragrant fragrances from their bodies. They do not eat wine and meat, and only rely on fragrance as nourishment. He is the leader of the Xiangyin Sect, and he lives in a land where politics and religion are integrated. Even the king respects him. He is also the patron saint of children and babies. As long as you pray to him sincerely, your children will be happy and healthy and will not be disturbed by ghosts and gods throughout their lives. He is like a skilled sorcerer, and all dreams and illusions will be meaningless here. All believers yearn for the unpredictable mirage, the rumored hometown of Gandharva. There is no disease, no poverty, and no pain. As long as you convert to the Holy Religion, you can step by step escape from the sufferings of this world.
Gandharva has a platinum silver incense burner, which exudes various fragrances all year round, making people doubt that those smells do not belong to the human world. The incense burner can also make medicine. There is no disease in the world that cannot be cured.
The name of the God of Song is Kinnara, which means the heaven of music. Rumor has it that she is a woman with a pair of horns on her head, a dignified appearance, and a beautiful voice. Her singing purifies the filth in the world, and the sound of the piano makes all dharma become silent. She belongs to the same family as the Gandharvas, and is said to be a dearest friend, or perhaps a brother and sister connected by blood. The two share the reputation of the God of Music and participated in the governance of two neighboring countries. She is the national counselor who assists the king in managing the territory, and no one will disobey her orders. An unbreakable alliance was established between these two countries, forming a check and balance with the largest country in the Nine Heavens Kingdom.
There is a special xun in Kinnara, which is a pair with the jade flute. But it is said that the material of the xun is very special. If you play it in Kinnara's mouth, unexpected things will happen.
The god of war is Asura. They are gods from the Asura path. Legend has it that King Shura's true form has nine heads, a thousand eyes, a hundred hands and eight legs, is as tall as a mountain, has its feet on the sea, can breathe fire with its mouth, roar like thunder, and can block the light of the sun and moon with its hands. The Shura army is invincible. The local people built a war temple, which contained many statues of brave and good warriors recognized by King Shura. People and monsters in that area are often attacked by Rakshasa ghosts, and people fight against them. The kingdom of Asura has the most powerful military force in the entire Nine Heavens Kingdom, and no one or group can defeat them.
Asura has a demon-subduing pestle, which symbolizes conquest and victory, and is made of purple gold. One end is a vajra with three Buddha statues engraved in the middle, showing laughter, anger, and cursing respectively. The other end is a three-sided pestle, which is extremely sharp and indestructible and is used to subdue evil spirits.
The name of the bird god is Garuda. He is a huge golden-winged divine bird that feeds on a native snake called Naga. Strangely enough, before the arrival of these gods, the residents had never seen such terrifying creatures as Nagas and Rakshasas. Maybe their arrival changed something. The mythical bird Garuda is rumored to be half human and half bird, either human or bird. The bird's body is made of gold and its head is embedded with wish-fulfilling beads. He leads a huge group of demonic birds, coexists with the human race, and maintains the relationship between different populations. hierarchical order.
Garuda lives in the interior of the continent and is also in charge of some kind of treasure, but no one knows about it. Some people speculated that it was the blue Ruyi Pearl. With it, any wish can come true.
"There is a question that concerns me a lot." Bai Ya said, "Isn't the Nine Heavens Kingdom just one country back then? Why did it split into multiple smaller countries?"
"Indeed. A long time ago, this place was a whole... But one day, everything changed. The gods went their own way and divided their own national boundaries. I have lived with my wife by the sea for many years and have never gone deep into the interior. , I'm sorry I can't answer your specific distribution..."
"It's okay, thank you very much." Qi Huan bowed to the old man seriously and straightened up, "But I have one last question, which may offend you. If you feel it is inappropriate, you don't need to answer it. "
"Just say it." The old man smiled slightly, "I can't help much. If you have any questions, please try your best to answer me."
"How have you persisted in your faith for so many years? I heard from you that this Lord Poseidon is like a god of heaven and has never appeared in front of people. How do you maintain your trust? Just rely on those weird-looking Haiyaksha. ?”
The old man smiled. Under the moonlight, his expression was like the undulating light and shadow on the sea.
"I was fortunate enough to be blessed by Lord Poseidon. From that time on, I firmly believed. Otherwise, my life would have been lost in the storm that happened while fishing decades ago."
After saying that, the old man slowly untied the hem of his robe. As the three people watched in amazement, they saw a pair of twisted and rough, dark green, skinny legs with long fins.
