What is a sacrifice?
According to the ancestral traditions of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, sacrifice is a ritual to please the gods. In the beginning of ancient times, when the human race was weak, the sages followed the rules of heaven and earth, worshiped gods and demons, and witchcraft emerged.
At that time, witchcraft was a symbol of civilization, wisdom, inheritance, and technology, and represented advancement.
In ancient times, the Holy King who led the human race to overcome obstacles and rose to prominence, the Human Emperor was a master of sacrifices. He was both a human king and a high priest, combining royal power and divine power.
The founding king of the Yin Shang Dynasty, Yin De Ghost Emperor Chengtang, reached the pinnacle on the road of human ghosts, established the Yin De Avenue, determined the responsibility system, and established the connection between predecessors and descendants.
Therefore, the Yin and Shang dynasties worshiped sacrifices crazily, believing that the more sacrifices were made, the happier the ancestors and gods would be.
At first, Shen Gongbao also believed this nonsense.
However, as he became a disciple of Kunlun and entered the Chan religion, he looked at the vast universe from a new perspective and learned that he was in the so-called great catastrophe of becoming a god.
All previous views have been overturned.
The most intuitive point is that the supreme ancestor God Emperor Ku, worshiped by the Yin and Shang Dynasties, has a majestic legend that it takes ten days to give birth to a son and twelve months to give birth to a daughter to determine the four seasons.
This was originally a boast of the ancestors' achievements, and everyone in the Yin and Shang Dynasties believed it. However, the keen Shen Gongbao found something unusual in it. Why did this myth sound so familiar on the 10th and 12th month?
Who is the birthday of Emperor Ku? Is his wife called Chang Yi? !
He flipped through ancient books and history books, and finally found clues in the corners of old papers and in a few words.
Emperor Ku’s wife, Chang Yi, also known as Chang Xi!
Chang Xi, Xihe!
Chang Xi, Emperor Kuang.
Di Kuang (qun), many people are not familiar with it, but if there is one more person!
Then he becomes Jun!
Demon Emperor and Emperor Jun!
In an instant, Shen Gongbao's worldview almost collapsed. The supreme emperor of the demon clan was able to blend into the witch sect and became the supreme god, and then became one of the five emperors of the human race.
Together with Huangdi, Zhuanxu, Yao, and Shun!
Whether this prehistoric period can be restored, the originally clear plot of the Conferred God has become extremely complicated and confusing.
It wasn't until the Great Sage Guangcheng revealed to him a corner of the prehistoric world, where all time and space in Da Luo were eternally at ease, that Shen Gongbao grasped a clue.
Just like he couldn't assume the gender of the old demon from Montenegro, who could assume the identity of Da Luo.
Daluo exists in the past, future and present, and all time and space exist forever. So what if he has so many vests, and what if he puts on another vest and does bad things secretly.
The Ancient Buddha of Ran Deng could be the deputy leader of the Interpretation Sect, and Zhenren Taiyi could be the Lord Taiyi who saved the suffering. Everyone was messed up in the timeline, leading to all kinds of logical confusion, and it was impossible to tell who was in front and who was behind.
Based on this, various intricate mythological systems in past lives can be explained to a certain extent.
They even boldly speculated that the prestigious identity of the Daluo people on the stage was not their true identity, but just a cover-up.
For example, it is very likely that the Daode Tianzun was Laozi of the Zhou Dynasty who turned back in time and transformed into the Three Pure Ones after he attained Daluo.
Enlightenment is in the future, invincible in the past, reversing cause and effect, unbelievable, but this is Da Luo.
Therefore, when making sacrifices, you must understand the identity of the god you are sacrificing. Otherwise, offering a water sacrifice to a fire god would be purely provocative and would incur divine punishment.
On the contrary, the sacrifices that are now well prepared and properly match the identity of the gods, and the effect they exert is no less than the merit and luck to invite the gods.
Using merit and luck to offer sacrifices to the gods is equivalent to spending money to ask the gods to do something. How much money is spent depends on how much power the gods provide. It is fair and just.
However, for the gods invited by the Perfect Sacrifice, it depends on your mood. If you are in a good mood, you will not only be able to transform ghosts, but even the Nine Nether Underworld will help you overthrow.
Countless dragons turned into hope and joy, as the opening ceremony.
Perfectly in line with the philosophy and path practiced by Taiyi Tianzun in rescuing suffering, in an instant, Tianzun's induction came.
“A catastrophe has befallen Tzu Chi, the Great Thousand Nectar Gate!”
Shen Gongbao shouted loudly, squeezed the Dao seal with his hands, bowed slightly in the center of the Xuan altar, and paid homage to Taiyi, the Lord of Suffering, the Emperor of Qinghua in the East.
Suddenly the universe shook, Jiuyou responded, and countless light rain flew out from a door, scattering into the underworld and purifying all evils.
Immediately afterwards, many bad luck, resentment, disaster, and death, under the leadership of Shen Gongbao, were stripped of many attributes, condensed into one, and turned into the purest Netherworld energy.
Ordinary Qinghua immortals cannot achieve this level. Only Shen Gongbao, who masters the way of disaster with one hand and saves the suffering with the other, can complete such a precise transformation.
In the void, Taiyi's image of the Suffering Heavenly Lord became more and more solemn and sacred, surrounded by a lot of pure energy, affirming this sacrifice.
The will of the underworld seems to have also sensed it, just like how the sea of Haotian vitality condensed the Taoist position and divided the authority of the Yuanyang Emperor.
Shen Gongbao's behavior attracted the attention of the underworld.
"How dare you!!!"
The old Black Mountain demon was furious. She could clearly feel that the favor of the underworld for her was dissipating little by little and transferred to Shen Gongbao.
The underworld is not as peaceful as the human world imagines. The underworld is a projection of the human world. Just like many places in the human world are full of dangers and cliffs, only a few plains and basins are suitable for human habitation.
There are only a few places in the underworld where ghosts can live and work in peace and contentment.
The first three levels of the Nine Netherworlds are close to the human world, filled with strong winds and the essence of the great sun. The last three levels of the Nine Netherworlds symbolize the ultimate darkness, and the ghost king will be assimilated even if he enters.
Only the middle three floors can barely be considered a normal underworld.
There is spiritual incense in Longting, which can protect all ghosts. As the Lord of Black Mountain, she can also open up a ghost kingdom thousands of miles away and accommodate all ghosts. This is the foundation of the old demon of Black Mountain.
Now, Shen Gongbao purifies all evils and cleanses the underworld, turning all kinds of sinister evil spirits into the Nine Nether Energy suitable for the survival of all ghosts, just like opening up a territory and expanding the territory.
Although it only wavered a small part, it has already gained the favor of Jiuyou Yinshi.
"Dare, there is nothing you dare not do."
Shen Gongbao smiled calmly and said: "The way of observing the sky and the way of holding the sky have been completed."
"The way of heaven is life, the way of earth is death."
"The longing for life of all living beings in the human world is the number of heaven. The longing of ghosts in the underworld for the peace of death is the number of heaven."
"Life is precious in the immortal way, and death is precious in the ghost way."
"Whoever can bring peace to the ghosts in the Netherworld and make reincarnation turn around will be the winner!"
The strands of Yin virtue gathered together, and the luck emerged, appearing behind Shen Gongbao and turning into a round light, symbolizing his status in the underworld.
[Rescue the suffering, Lord of the Netherworld]
In heaven he is the Taoist Lord of Yuan Qi, in man he is the Lord of the Taoist Court, and on earth he is the Lord of the Netherworld.
The trinity, interlaced with blue and purple, is like a pillar of luck penetrating the three realms, supporting his supreme status.
Shen Gongbao held the orb in his hand with compassion in his eyes. He looked at the old demon from Heishan and said with a smile: "I hope fellow Taoist friends from Heishan will be friends of my Taoist court and don't know good from evil."
