There was silence in the temple at first, then an uproar. A spiritualist said in a trembling voice: "Didn't you say you wouldn't resist?"
Su Yun glanced at him and found that it was the spiritualist who had just captured him. He was surprised and said, "I said I would not resist you, but I never said I would not resist the gods you worship. If he wants to eat me, I will naturally beat him to death."
The spirit warrior rushed over, his voice was shrill: "Revenge for the gods!"
Behind Su Yun, Yinglong's Heavenly Eye flashed, and the spiritualist was blasted into ashes before he could get close.
The other spiritualists in the village were shocked and angry: "Didn't you say you wouldn't resist us?"
Su Yun shook his head and said, "I just said that I didn't resist just now, not that I won't resist for the rest of my life."
He looked at the people below who were filled with righteous indignation and ready to make a move, and said calmly: "It is my right to tolerate you, because I am stronger than you, but it does not mean you have the right to criticize me. I can tolerate you out of kindness, but I can also kill you out of evil intentions."
The people of this village did not dare to approach the altar of the temple.
Behind Su Yun, the god that was killed quickly turned from flesh and blood into a golden body, but without its head.
Su Yun squatted down and took a closer look with the help of Yinglong Sky Eye, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
Yingying flew out and whispered, "This god is the same as the ancestral statues enshrined in the Yuanshuo Temple. It also uses people's chanting to refine its golden body. However, because all gods are his clones, he can descend into any clone at any time."
Su Yun nodded slightly, his Yinglong Heavenly Eye saw more.
The golden statue enshrined in this village is not very strong, but the gods in heaven displayed in the Heavenly Divine Illumination Sutra should be the powerful incarnations of this god.
After he killed the god with one glance, he saw something like soul and the vital energy of heaven and earth rapidly withdrawing from the golden body. The withdrawal of the vital energy of heaven and earth made the god's body quickly return to its golden body.
It is precisely because of the effect of the vital energy of heaven and earth that the golden body can quickly turn into flesh and blood!
"Wait a minute! Yuanshuo people rarely offer sacrifices to gods, but often offer sacrifices to their ancestors. Although the specifications are different from those of Western sacrifices, the effects should be the same. Ancestors with golden bodies can survive with the help of the golden bodies. The golden bodies can even be transformed into flesh! Could it be that the sacrifices of all living beings can create an effect similar to the vitality of heaven and earth?"
Su Yun felt as if he had grasped something. He walked back and forth, but he couldn't figure out the connection here for a moment.
He had to put this matter aside for the time being, and muttered: "Could the Heavenly God Emperor be the god or demon from the era of Yinglong, Pixiu, and Bai Ze? He borrowed the power of sentient beings from Western countries to enhance his own strength? Then, was the invasion of Yuanshuo by Great Qin, Great Xia, and other Western countries secretly promoted by this Western god? Yingying!"
Su Yun's eyes flickered, and he asked, "In the records of Tiandaoyuan over the years, are there any records that after the Qin Dynasty and other countries invaded Yuanshuo, they built similar temples in Yuanshuo?"
Yingying looked through the contents of her book and nodded, "There are records about this. After the Qin and Xia countries defeated Yuan Shuo, in addition to demanding the cession of territory and compensation, they also built temples of the West along the coast. People along the coast called them the New Gods. It is rumored that when these overseas countries attacked Yuan Shuo, they would not attack any place with temples, so the temples were very popular."
Su Yun stood on the altar, silent for a moment, and said silently in his heart: "This is the invasion of the new god. Yuan Shuo has 40 million people, who worship their ancestors. The population of all Western countries combined is not as large as Yuan Shuo. If these 40 million people can worship the new god, then his strength will surely rise! But..."
He looked puzzled. "The new school was developed during the Argali Rebellion when people studied the gods in heaven. However, the new school has developed to the point where it is in direct conflict with the gods in heaven..."
Although the Tianting Shenzhao Sutra is a widely circulated martial art, as Su Yun's understanding of the new Qin school becomes deeper and deeper, he still discovers the contradiction between the Tianting Shenzhao system and the new school.
The new learning aims to be useful. All the gods in heaven must be used by the new learning. If they cannot be used, the new learning will inevitably abandon the gods in heaven!
"For example, the civil engineering that I'm learning now doesn't require the help of the gods in heaven." Su Yun thought to himself.
Yingying corrected him and said, "The new discipline of civil engineering was actually created by Lou Ban when he was studying abroad. When Lou Ban was studying abroad, he was already the master of Tongtian Pavilion. He was exposed to the new discipline and absorbed the results of the new discipline to create civil engineering. Yundu Tianjie was built in the West when he had mastered his Taoist magic power."
Su Yun suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the cities of Daqin were full of pavilions, towers, and winding corridors, which gave him a familiar feeling.
Suddenly, he was shocked: "Lou Bantanyou is the Great Sage of Xinxue, who became enlightened in the West. After he cultivated to the original way, he left a trap for Xinshen. This trap is to let Xinxue escape from Xinshen's control!"
He was extremely excited. The new learning developed during the Argali Rebellion was based on theology. Lou Ban must have seen the ambition of this new god, so he used the knowledge of civil engineering to let Western spiritualists see that they could completely get rid of the shackles of the blood of the gods!
"Tongtian Pavilion had always been active overseas. Lou Ban was the leader of Tongtian Pavilion at that time, but he resolutely returned to Yuanshuo and tried to change Yuanshuo. Unexpectedly, Emperor Ai did not even confer the title of Saint on him, but only conferred him the title of Heavenly Master and asked him to build the Eastern Capital for him."
Su Yun shook his head. Yuan Shuo was in a state of deterioration and had missed the best period of development.
"Later, the new school of Qin developed the magical power of Yuanci, and there was no need to rely on the power of the gods in heaven. The contradiction between the new school of the West and the theology represented by the Western Heaven will inevitably become greater and greater!"
His eyes brightened, and he called the Western Heaven theology: "This new god noticed Lou Ban's plan, so he began to break through. His breakthrough was the position of the master of Tongtian Pavilion."
Su Yun stood up and walked out, thinking: "No wonder after I came to Daqin, I always felt that the situation in Daqin was indescribably strange. It turned out that the battle between the new school and theology has reached a critical period and is about to break out! As for the medicine, I am afraid it is the battle for the master of Tongtian Pavilion."
His confidence increased greatly. The dispute over the leader of Tongtian Pavilion would definitely trigger a war between new learning and theology in the West!
And once this battle starts, it will continue until the winner is decided!
"Yuan Shuo can use this time to develop..."
Su Yun strode out, his face gradually darkening, his heart chilled: "If it was Mr. Shui Jing who controlled the government and promoted reforms, Yuan Shuo could have taken the opportunity to develop. However, Xue Qingfu who controls the government now and Miao Bi Danqing who is wearing the guise of Wen Guanshan..."
He walked out of the temple. The night was as cool as water.
In front of the temple, a spiritualist looked confused and murmured, "We are doomed. The Grey Monsters are invading again. What should we do..."
Su Yun heard this and said in confusion: "The government won't ask? Just ask the government for help."
The people in the audience were stunned. Someone whispered, "Only God cares about our life and death. The government? The government only cares about the lives of the noble families..."
Su Yun seemed to be thinking about something. This was completely different from Yuan Shuo.
In Yuan Shuo's villages, the government needs to be responsible for the safety of the villages. Even in Shuofang, when the seven great families intend to rebel and face the turmoil of the Jiehui monster, they must nominally take the initiative to quell the rebellion and win the reputation of loving the people like their own children.
"Is this the difference between asking God and asking people? Yuan Shuo's knowledge is based on asking people, while the knowledge of overseas countries is based on asking God."
Su Yun pondered and thought, "The two kinds of knowledge have different manifestations in times of natural disasters and man-made disasters. Yuan Shuo's five thousand years of accumulated knowledge does not seem to be that bad."
He felt like a huge stone had been lifted from his heart. After arriving in Daqin, he felt an inexplicable pressure in his heart, and felt that Yuan Shuo was inferior to others in every way.
Although he was very famous in the Qin Dynasty, he knew that if he only used Yuan Shuo's old sage skills to fight against the Qin scholars, he would definitely be defeated.
And now, he saw the advantages and disadvantages of both sides' knowledge.
The people in the temple were disheartened and sat down calmly waiting to die, while the spiritualists in the villages and towns had already packed their bags and planned to leave the place at night with their families.
Su Yun was still extremely shocked when he saw this scene. He had never seen such a scene in Yuanshuo before, a scene where the gods in the countryside had completely lost their faith after being killed!
People at this time are just zombies!
"The invasion of new knowledge is a good thing. At the very least, it can help the old saints to advance their knowledge. But the invasion of new gods is extremely terrible. Yuan Shuo, we must not let new gods replace our ancestors and occupy people's faith!"
Su Yun and Xing Jiangmu boarded the Heavenly Phoenix Chariot and walked out of the village. They saw the Robbery Gray Monster flying silently in the night sky and hovering outside the village.
Suddenly, one after another, the robbery monsters pounced on the Heavenly Phoenix Chariot. At this moment, the dust curtain in the dark sky turned into a yellow bell. The bell rang, and the robbery monsters died one after another.
"Let's go." Su Yun dispersed the dust in the sky and said to Xing Jiangmu.
The Heavenly Phoenix Chariot sailed towards Boshan City in the distance, taking advantage of the dim firelight emanating from that city.
In the darkness, in the nearby villages and towns, in the magnificent temples, huge golden statues of gods came back to life, jumped off the shrines, and flew into the clouds and mist towards the village where Su Yun and others had just stayed.
When they came to the sky above the town, a god descended from the clouds, stretched out his hand, grabbed a woman's head, and lifted it up, saying in a rumbling voice: "Where did that little devil with black hair and black eyes go..."
“Bang!”
A flash of fire struck, and the god's head suddenly exploded, blood spurting all over the ground. Seeing this, the other gods standing on the clouds shot divine light in their eyes, looked in all directions, and shouted, "Who?"
In the darkness of the night, a man enveloped in a blazing holy fire walked into the town.
The gods in the clouds shouted loudly and flew up to kill. However, they saw that behind the fire man, the original spirit suddenly rose into the air, thousands of feet high. With a wave of his big hand, the gods were instantly refined into ashes, and turned into piles of coke falling from the sky. Even the spirit could not escape!
The holy fire on the fire man gradually went out, revealing an old man with snow-white eyebrows and beard, who was none other than Jing Zhao, the former master of Huoyun Cave.
Jing Zhao was panting heavily, and holy fire was spewing out of his eyes, ears, mouth and nose.
"My good disciple, if you don't hand over Fire Cloud Cave Heaven, I will kill your lover, the Master of Tongtian Pavilion, Su Yun!"
