The carriages were bumpy, and the roads in Chu were not smooth, far inferior to the Central Plains. This is because the system of Chu was not similar to that of the Central Plains, and Chu also belonged to the sub-culture of the Central Plains.

The State of Chu began with Ji Lian. He is a legendary figure, the eighth generation grandson of Shaodian, the seventh generation grandson of Huangdi, the sixth generation grandson of Changyi, the fifth generation grandson of Zhuanxu, the great-grandson of Lao Tong. , Zhurong and Wu Hui's grandson... Lu Zhong's sixth son.

Therefore, the Chu people were very strange in their minds. Thousands of years ago, when the Zhou Dynasty established its dynasty, they accepted the title of the emperor. The ancient immortal Yuxiong was the founding ancestor of Chu. When the Chu State founded, there was only the title of "Zi". Because of the poor in the country, there have been even cases like a monarch stealing a cattle.

Until King Wu of Chu usurped over and became king, he no longer had the act of nominal respect for the Zhou emperor. At this point, the culture of Chu showed vigorous vitality and finally formed two systems with the culture of the Central Plains.

Inferiority and pride are mixed together. The Chu people often claim to be the descendants of Zhurong and are the incarnation of the phoenix bird. However, when they once attacked Suiguo and obtained the "Suhouzhu", one of the two treasures in the world, the King of Chu could even He pulled down his face and licked his face and said, "I am a barbarian, and I will not obey China's orders."

The culture of Chu people is full of ghosts and gods. Cheng Zhiyuan saw many villages in the mountains on the road. There are often one to three temples inside, and there are also lustful sacrifices. However, more are basically worshiping the Chu faction headed by Donghuang Taiyi. The righteous god.

Donghuang Taiyi is in charge of the sky, Dongjun is in charge of the light, Xiangjun and Mrs. Xiang are in charge of the Xiang water system, and the Bingyi is in charge of the rushing Yellow River. The mountain ghost is a beautiful girl, her name is Nuluo (lichen plant), riding her The leopard patrolls the mountains, while the Dasiming controls the life and death of people, the Shaosiming protects the birth of children, and the Yunzhongjun manages the changes in the world.

Cheng Zhiyuan remembered that the female mountain god she met on the Fox Qi Mountain, she seemed to be guided by the insect god to come to Chu to find the mountain ghost queen to prolong her life, otherwise she would completely disappear into the world.

Times have changed, I wonder if the female mountain god is still alive?

This is just a sudden reminder.

Cheng Zhiyuan looked at the temples, and the carriages passed by. The people in the village did not care about the visitors from the unexpected town, as long as they were not from Qin...

Ying Yiren lowered his hat and cleared his throat, not daring to let people hear his accent.

In the temple, wisps of light rose. They gathered together and circled continuously, and finally condensed on the clay man in the temple. Cheng Zhiyuan stared at the clay man and saw a promise beside the clay man from his blue and white eyes. All areas where hundreds of people kneel down are dyed with a faint red color.

The light red, or the color of Danxia, ​​has the shadow of the sycamore tree, which is transformed from all thoughts and prayers.

Cheng Zhiyuan looked at the Danxia color, and suddenly felt something throbbing in his heart. He even felt like he wanted to fly onto the fake sycamore tree.

Those believers who gathered around the clay man, their expressions were fanatical and pious, and they were like "god disciples".

And that faint Danxia area, the temple that bio-shaped the shadow of the sycamore tree, seemed to be...

"Land Kingdom?"

Cheng Zhiyuan was thinking. Is the throbbing he had just now because of the phoenix jade pendant on his chest?

I am just a geek, not a fire phoenix, but I am still infected and summoned.

Feng is in the wutong tree, this is an eternal fact. Similarly, as the national bird of Chu, Feng enjoys the love of the Chu people, just like the Yin people always say that they are the mysterious bird, just like the Zhou emperor always say that

I am obliged to heaven, just like people from later generations like themselves to the descendants of the dragon.

This is a kind of spiritual belief that can tightly bring together the loose Guizhou heads and the people.

However, because the State of Chu was the base camp of gods, the atmosphere of sacrifice was even more serious. Cheng Zhiyuan even felt that this was a bit of the meaning of the Shang Dynasty. It was not that Zhiyuan himself returned to the Shang Dynasty. Because it was the era of King Zhou, he did not.

I haven't seen many ghost temples.

As we all know, all the emperors of the Shang Dynasty believed in ghosts and gods, but King Zhou was the exception.

This is different from King Zhou in the Romance of the Gods. In real history, as well as major derivative lines, in any world that has nothing to do with the Romance of the Gods, King Zhou’s trajectory, or one of his “mistakes”, was later

The proclamation of King Wu of Zhou was clearly stated.

"No sacrifice to ghosts and gods."

Cheng Zhiyuan squinted his eyes. The temples gave him some bad feelings. Some of them were obviously lustful sacrifices, and he could even smell the bloody smell floating in the air.

Ying Yiren said in a hoarse accent: "The State of Chu is really a barbarian, so it's fine to worship the Eastern Emperor. After all, it's the orthodox Emperor, but these evil gods actually worship the Emperor, and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi doesn't care at all?"

"Is it because the Divine Sect Tree has deep roots, and these little evil gods must rely on the protection of the Nine Gods of Chu to survive?"

Ying Yiren did not agree with this behavior. The Qin people's worldview and structure were very different from those of the Chu people. After all, even the White Emperor was suppressed, and the Qin people even dared to lock up their ancestors, the Heavenly Emperor, which shows that the gods are in Qin.

What is the status?

He even thought that in the last battle against Chu, if it weren't for these hateful gods, the Chu State would have been defeated, but the result was that the water attack was laughable, the Yangtze River did not help, and the gods protected him, the Chu army was like a dragon going out to sea, and instantly he would

The vanguard troops of the Qin army were swallowed up.

This happened ten years ago.

Ying Yiren even saw that in a village, he actually gave blood to a baby in his cradle and fed the evil god. He was very surprised, because if this kind of thing happened in Qin, the person who acted was bound to be killed.

"The blood of a baby is the purest. I have read it in the book. Duke Zhuang of Zheng once wrote records. A child who was born less than a month old, his blood is the purest innate blood in the world, and the gods are happy about it."

"The Chu villages, believing in ghosts and gods is more important than believing in various schools of thought, so this is the base camp of the Gods and the refuge of the gods."

Cheng Zhiyuan's voice sounded in the carriage: "Don't worry about these things, this is the people of Chu. They have such a atmosphere. This is not Qin or Central Plains."

Ying Yiren nodded: "They are from Chu, and Yiren dare not care. This is not his own business."

Cheng Zhiyuan nodded.

There was a Chu Road ahead of him, which was not wide, but at least he could pass by.

Behind him was a darkness. In those temples, the evil gods stared at Cheng Zhiyuan tightly. In their eyes, they saw the beating seven-orbital immortal heart, which was so excited that the mud body cracked. The sound of swallowing saliva was in the Shanjian Realm.

The spiritual world kept echoing, but they dared not jump out and dared not approach the immortal.

Because they saw that the immortal was pitch black behind it.

There is an eye that is half asleep and half awake, as if it is pretending to be sleeping, and it is precisely because this eye has not been completely closed that these evil gods are afraid of it.

They felt that this eye belonged to a more powerful evil god, but this evil god had not truly awakened.

Greedy desire began to grow in the hearts of these evil gods. They had begun to plan how to guide the carriage and horse. Among them were those who wanted to swallow that eye, they believed that the eye could make them stronger.

What this kind of emotion spreads, affects the land kingdoms of gods in various places.

Cheng Zhiyuan suddenly said softly: "This is really like Tang Sanzang crossing Wan Yao Ridge, ghosts, monsters, and trolls, just waiting for someone to take action first, to be the dead soul that was beaten to death by Sun Xingzhe. They can take the opportunity to take the opportunity to step back.

Like the fisherman who hunts the snipe and the clam."
