Rebirth of the Viking King

Chapter 516 35 The Origin of Soul Sacrifice (5)

Loki narrowed his eyes, his mind racing.

Now, 4 pieces of evidence were placed in front of him.

1. The record of the Pre-Qin Qi Refiners’ massacre of foreign gods in the “Taiyue Academy” of the Tang Dynasty.

(This can be confirmed to be true, because this is not a one-sided statement by the scholars in the Taiyuan Academy. In the "Sinking City" 16 years ago, I also saw similar records from the bamboo slips recorded by Elder Xuan Hezi.)

2. In the process of conquering the world, Alexander the Great indulged the ancient Egyptians.

(Now it seems that the reason why he was open to the ancient Egyptians, even visited their temples, and allowed them to be independent and self-governing was probably because he discovered the secret of the Styx priests' ability to connect yin and yang.)

3. After the tomb of Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin Dynasty, was dug by Hu soldiers, the map captured by the Legalist anti-corruption team was taken back from them.

(This map is placed in front of me)

4. In the last life, I have the memory of the near-death experience of brain doctor "Eben Alexander".

(The entire process of Eben’s death was monitored by colleagues at the hospital. And this was a near-death experience case that could be recorded in the official magazine "The Lancet". Combined with the various extraordinary phenomena seen after time travel, this incident The credibility is not low).

If these four things are completely put together, a complete picture will slowly unfold in front of Loki's eyes.

Why did Ying Zheng create Yin soldiers and Yin generals before his death?

Because his subordinates had already brought him proof of the existence of the "underworld" from the endless sea of ​​sand on the North Road!

Master Wuya completed his mission so well that he even drew a map of another world after death.

The abilities of pre-Qin Qi masters far exceeded ordinary people's imagination.

Hongmeng Sword Sect disciple "Gu Changqing" was able to survive for thousands of years with a ray of soul in the Demon Sealing Blade, and then relied on the new body forged by the Scarlet Creator, plus the "God's Soul" collected by Loki from Asgard. "Water" successfully counterattacked the bloody creator, used a ray of remnant soul to make a comeback and regain a new life!

Fenghuzi was swallowed by Leviathan, and survived for thousands of years by scavenging in his abdomen. After regaining his freedom, he died together with this ancient beast.

Even more terrifying than the two of them is this "Wuya Celestial Master"

This man was actually able to rely on brute force to shatter the void, slaughter the pharaoh, and then stride from the world of heaven into the underworld. After flying across the continent of the underworld and drawing the map, he was able to shatter the void again and return successfully.

This is far beyond the capabilities of mortals, and even quite a few true gods cannot do this.

Concubine Xue knew that her mission faced many risks, so she shared all the information she knew without reservation with the intention of forming an alliance with Loki again.

"Since the appearance of this map of the underworld, the scholars of Taiyuan College have searched through ancient books and can basically confirm that the reason why the Qiang Qin Dynasty died in the second generation was largely due to the First Emperor Ying Zheng's military ambitions and his desire to go to the underworld to occupy more places. Much territory.”

"In this way, he will complete the perfect closed loop of Yin and Yang II becoming emperors!"

"This is the real 'Art of Immortality'!"

"But in the later period, the whereabouts of the First Emperor remained a huge mystery."

"Did he lead the army into the underworld?"

"If not, after Qiang Qin was established, where did his group of powerful Qi refiners with almost endless life spans go?"

"To many questions, the bachelors in Taiyuan College are unable to give correct answers. Today, many of the 'Yin Yang Family' who survived from the pre-Qin era are still living in hidden corners of Kyushu."

"Since they can survive, Ying Zheng's group of more powerful Qi practitioners, such as the 'Wuya Celestial Master' who once shattered the void, must exist."

"But they all disappeared."

"Not only that, most of the documents in the late Qin Dynasty have been artificially destroyed. Even the map in Hu Hai's tomb was most likely hidden by him privately."

"The whole thing almost came to a dead end until the fourth day of the first lunar month of the fourth year of Yuanhe. After my Legalist school successfully came to power, the "neighborhood inspection" system promoted to the world finally played its due role!"

**

The rise of Legalist politicians was a panacea for the chaotic Tang Dynasty.

Under the heavy pressure of this group of strong-arm politicians, the entire country quickly turned into an efficient fighting state with all people as soldiers.

Legalist politicians' philosophy of governing the country is very simple. Under their rule, the people must unconditionally obey the call of the state.

They try their best to suppress the needs of the people and require everyone to be exactly where they should be and to provide the country with all the help within their capabilities.

As you can imagine, this kind of rule is extremely oppressive and terrifying for the people.

In particular, the "neighborhood inspection system" promulgated by them makes full use of the distrust between people and the guiding ideology of "human nature is inherently evil."

This is another code of conduct that is completely contrary to "Confucianism".

In the hearts of Confucian scholars, loyalty, righteousness, and filial piety are above all else.

Confucianism advocates that "the father should hide from the son" and "the wife should hide from the husband." Even if they make mistakes, both the wife and the father have the obligation to provide protection for their families.

However, in the eyes of the Legalist teachers, this is considered treason.

Legalist teachers encouraged neighbors to spy on each other, and even husbands and wives. If your neighbor breaks the law and is reported by you, you will not only get the neighbor's property, but also be rewarded by the government and exempt from taxes.

If the wife discovers that her husband has violated the law and reports him, not only can she avoid the death penalty, but she can also keep part of the family property.

Such an approach is of course "everyone's expression changes when they talk about the Dharma". Everyone must lower their heads and live cautiously.

However, under the extremely strict iron-fisted laws, there are of course unexpected gains.

When all individuals in the country are subject to surveillance by each other at all times, there is no way for "secret societies" to escape.

The first thing to be uprooted was the "Vulcan Cult" that had been dormant within the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years.

**

Since the "Kaiyuan Heyday", Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty has always maintained an open attitude towards foreign races.

However, overindulgence will naturally cause many problems. Over the years, countless members of the Chuanhuo Gang have traveled through the court and underground, secretly betraying many state secrets.

It ranges from shortages of goods in various prefectures and counties to natural disasters and epidemics.

So much so that every marching movement of the generals was accurately communicated to the Turks, Tibetans, and even the more distant Sogdiana and Tocharo by the fire-passing gang.

The Legalist mentor's attitude towards this group of intelligence dealers was "once discovered, kill everyone." Once the neighborhood inspection system was established, the Vulcan Cult was completely paralyzed in just three months.

However, in this case, the "Illuminati", a deeper secret society hidden within the Tang Dynasty, still existed.

The Illuminati is different from Vulcanism.

The Vulcan Cult is hidden among the people, and the Illuminati's development of members is all aimed at the upper-class nobles of the major kingdoms, or the chosen believers with extremely powerful combat capabilities.

The members of the Illuminati naively thought that the Legalist teachers were really just as useful dogs under the rulers as they appeared to be. Little did they know that they had already been targeted by secret talks and backstabbing in various ways.

The Legalist teachers did not arrest anyone immediately.

They hid in the dark and observed, in order to uproot all the hidden stubs on this secret communication line at once.

As a result, after half a year of exploration and sorting, when it was about to reach the final stage

She appeared.

Concubine Xue stretched out her white fingers and pointed at the ignorant girl in Mergwen's arms.
