Song Siyuan's words are also considered possible by everyone. The time when the old god of Qinling appeared was the ancient Chu era. Although it is far enough away from the current era, in front of the history of the ancestors of the witch god, he is just a grandson. Only grandsons can worship their grandfathers. How can it be true? The grandfather in turn worships his grandson.
"Let's take another look. There are many murals on the surrounding walls. Maybe there is the information we need there!"
When Song Siyuan was confused, she glanced to the side. Under the countless stone columns, there were many narrative murals. She approached the corridor with a flashlight and carefully observed these richly colored murals.
"These murals were probably renovated by the Li Tang people. The original murals were very rough. The ones we saw were painted with oil paints and have not faded after thousands of years."
As long as it hasn't faded, you can see as complete information as possible. Song Siyuan looked excited and looked more carefully. As she looked, she introduced: "Cave Buddhist paintings were popular in the Li Tang Dynasty, and various stories about Buddha were often formed into pictures. , completely spread out in a certain grotto, Li Tang people faced this prehistoric temple without dividing the frame, and adopted the form of a full-frame painting to put together the history of this tribe with various stories and pictures to form a complete epic."
In the 800-mile river, countless tribal people lived by the water and gathered in villages. They farmed and hunted from sunrise to sunset, and they multiplied endlessly. Wherever they went, they were sure to find giant trees and build structures. Gao Media Mother Temple, over time, the Li tribe was officially formed!
After the Spring Equinox, when all things wake up from their hibernation, unmarried boys and girls in the tribe, led by tribal witches, will enter the temple to wait to sacrifice to the mother goddess to pray for heirs.
This ritual requires the use of mineral pigments to paint mysterious symbols all over the body. The tribesmen dance and sing in the witch's prayers. When the bonfire is raised at sunset, they will enter the temple with the blessing of the gods. , a few months later, new life will be born in the tribe.
Over the years, their tribe gradually changed. Witches quit and wizards emerged. The first wizard to preside over sacrifices appeared in the tribe.
This wizard was more brave and warlike than the witch. He led his tribe to conquer and forge weapons, and was invincible against foreign enemies. Gradually, the wizard realized that if he wiped out other tribes after victory, the number of the original tribe would be too small. It is difficult to develop power, and it is not conducive to enhancing the strength of the tribe.
I heard that some tribes in the central part of the river had broken away from the witch sacrificial leader system and elected a certain emperor as the leader. After they drove out the witch power, they did not cut off their communication with the gods, but took away the witch power. Take it back to the emperor!
It's okay, only wizards like them are the people closest to the gods. Although some tribes in the central part are rich and happy, they have made a big mistake that offended the gods. This is an unforgivable sin.
In response to this, the leader of the Li tribe could only retaliate with anger but could do nothing. The Li tribe was too weak to compete with the tribes in Hezhong. He thought that only by gathering more power could he conquer the tribes that had offended the gods. What he wanted to achieve This point cannot be achieved by relying on tribesmen to multiply the population every year, even in the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse. If they want to gain population quickly, they can only annex other tribes.
From then on, every time the Li tribe defeated a tribe, their leaders and thorny vassals would be killed. At the same time, the ordinary tribesmen were appeased and allowed to move or settle. As long as they were willing to settle in the Li tribe, the Li tribe would not only give them They prepared food houses and personally taught them the techniques of farming, weaving and production.
However, in just ten years, the Li tribe occupied 800 miles of rivers in the land east of Hedong, gathering many nameless tribes to form the Li country with numerous forces and strong soldiers. Together with eight extremely powerful Fang countries, it was called Hedong Jiuli.
In this process, the power of the tribal shamans in the river has been exhausted. They were either excluded from the sacrifices, or they were willing to become vassals of the tribe and become the emperor's sacrificial officials. From then on, their power was greatly reduced and they relied on the powerful.
Since the group of witches could not get rid of their anger, it was already the gods who were angry. After the leader of Li State offered sacrifices to the gods in Jiuli Fang Kingdom, he proclaimed himself the Jiuli Witch King. Under the banner of the Witch King, he summoned the expelled wandering Wu Xian to the land east of Hedong. Establish the Kingdom of the Witch God.
In this country, witches are the people, and the people are the witches. When it is necessary to offer sacrifices to gods and spirits, the whole country often performs the sacrifices with great fanfare. Once daily work resumes, the witch people will assume their own work tasks as ordinary people. That is to say, every day Every shaman can sacrifice to the gods and communicate with the gods by themselves, without needing to rely on anyone.
In this process, they gradually formed the gods belonging to the shamans, Taiyi, Fengshen, Yunu, Siming, Shaozhong, Shanwu, Yangshen, Yunshen, Lingshen and Hejun. Every time when the festival was held, , offering sacrifices to many gods with the greatest etiquette, praying for good health and good weather.
When the reputation of the Kingdom of Witch Gods spread to the Hezhong tribe, their emperor was obviously very angry, not only because the witches he expelled fled to the Jiuli Witch Kingdom, but because the Witch Emperor believed that everyone in his tribe could offer sacrifices to Tongtian, that is, It is said that everyone can contact the gods, receive divine revelations, and control their own destiny.
They monopolized sacrifices in order to cut off the communication between heaven and man, so that they could serve the gods alone and rule the people by monopolizing the gods' hints. This practice of the Witch King attracted even the people in the middle of Hezhong, and they fled to Li country with their families.
If this continues, the people in the river will no longer have any loyalty at all.
There must be a battle between Hezhong and Hedong!
