169.Chapter 169
Although he sensed an abnormal qi that could never be described as benevolent, this qi suddenly disappeared after a moment. Wei Ye sat on top of the guest hall with a perfect smirk on his face, but he couldn't sit still.
Arching his hand to the old lady Wang, Wei Ye took advantage of the most common excuse for running from the wine table that was also used at Liu Banghong's banquet, and walked down the hall to find the latrine.
Although the combination between Mrs. Diyi and Wei Ye and Half-Headed Tuo, who were temporarily kneaded by employment documents, was almost a broken face, it was still a situation where the king did not see the king. Wei Ye killed and injured more demons who came to Daoxi, and for an earthly god, it was not painful.
Ghosts and monsters, although in the eyes of the immortal warlocks, are also harmful, but the relationship between ghosts and gods, even those who are notorious and fond of human sacrifice, and mortals is mutually beneficial. Even the goddess of the earth mother in the Aztec civilization in South America, the female evil god who represents fertility and agriculture, and the god of rain who assists her, covets thousands of teenagers and girls as sacrifices every year, nourishing the flesh and blood of the living, but at the same time, it also rewards the Aztecs with abundant yields, so that the Aztecs continue to maintain a special war system of human sacrifice against the surrounding city-states and plundering the population, so as to suppress the development of other city-states.
And the monsters are different, get rid of those female goblins that have been incorporated into the Taoist or Buddhist system, such as the White Lady, the Flower Girl, and so on, which make bachelors want to get into trouble. The monsters that are free outside the system are basically things like cancer cells, and the existence of monsters is purely due to people's worship of nature, in a sense, they are close relatives of ghosts and gods, but they have gone the opposite path to ghosts and gods.
Researchers of mythology, religion and folklore generally believe that the existence of gods can be divided into several types: nature gods, animal gods, and hero gods.
Nature gods and animal gods are remnants of primitive times, and generally speaking, these gods are most closely related to youkai. The development of human beings began with the deprivation of godhead by the gods of nature and animals, and the awe became vigilant and degraded to monsters.
The distinction between ghosts and monsters has almost emerged because of this. The ghosts and gods finally chose to compromise, whether it is Dongyue, Nanyue, Xiyue, Beiyue and Zhongyue, these gods of famous mountains have been worshiped equally by Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism for generations, and they were also quite fond of blood food and even human sacrifice. However, with the development of human beings, the taste of the gods of the five mountains has also changed from killing and living sacrifices to the three animal wine ceremony, and from the three animal wine ceremony to the clear tea and vegetarian fruit of the Taoist gate and the fragrant flower cold water of the Buddhist gate.
But despite the drop in treatment, the ghosts and gods represented by the gods of the five mountains still chose to transform into righteous gods who coexist with humans. The former habit of the ghosts and gods to cause trouble has finally been transformed into a serious profession based on persuasion and blessing.
But the one who has fallen from God to monster obviously does not see it that way, and these losers, who are more and more unwilling to be reconciled as mortals become more distant from the Netherworld and the dark world, finally choose to completely inhabit the fear of mankind. For monsters, cannibalism is not so much energy intake in the biological sense as it is to absorb fear from humans. Of course, fear develops in the end, and that is when humans in turn deny the legitimacy of the existence of yokai.
So the degeneration from the god to the monster is faster, and the snake god worshiped by the indigenous people of southern Fujian has degenerated into a snake demon killed by the heroes, and the snake god who was killed represents the merits of the Taoist sect of southern Fujian.
The dragon god in Jiangnan has degenerated into a monster, and the pure and clear path of the true monarch Xu Xun is based on the corpses of the great sect of the indigenous beliefs of Jiangnan and the worship of the dragon god.
Even the fox god nine-tailed fox believed in the Qingqiu Kingdom in ancient times, with the development of human beings, first degenerated into a superstition that spread in the countryside, and later gradually swallowed up by the city, after all, it also became a synonym for some tertiary industry workers who sold their bodies.
And with the further development of human beings, eventually youkai will also be relegated to something that is not on the table such as weird talk. Even in the various strange tales after entering the industrial age, the "ghosts" representing the subtle and dark side of people are much more powerful than monsters and even ghosts.
The most obvious example is a right-wing conservative government in the post-classical era that banned ghost movies and banned monster movies. For no other reason, feudal superstition is an excuse, and the dark side of the human species represented by the image of "ghosts" is incompatible with the high-profile ideals of the society that exists only on paper, which is the key.
But then again, the increasingly incompatible nature of the monsters and the ghosts also makes them collusion with each other at best, and a low-grade collusion between the gangsters and the officials who act as local umbrellas. Of course, if a few monsters are mixed to the level of the demon king, they may indeed play the prestige of taking the local little god to cheer the bell, but the demon king who has mixed to such a level has almost begun to be whitewashed and recruited.
Thinking about these things, the fairy warlock stepped out of the side door, but he pinched the sword trick in his hand and pointed towards the center of his eyebrows.
The art of looking at qi in the army was launched, and the eyesight was strengthened, but what the immortal warlock saw was still a jubilant and festive appearance, and no one knew what kind of treacherous and evil changes were behind this festive celebration!
The head of the high chef in charge of the stove walked past him angrily, and scolded and scolded: "Sun Rui, Lin Jian, these boys, why did they faint to death, and I don't know who was stealing food under the kitchen? If we catch him, let's see if we don't pull his muscles!"
Stove, stove!
Chef Gao's unintentional words fell on Wei Ye, a caring person, but he was instantly enlightened - in addition to human flesh, there is also one thing that demons like, and wine.
In various myths, heroes who drunk demons and evil gods with alcohol and then achieved their deeds can be said to abound. The heroes brought wine to the demons, and the demons got drunk after drinking the syrup, and were finally killed by the heroes. This motif of the god wine to exorcise demons can be seen in almost all myths.
And for demons, the pleasure of drinking syrup is no less than devouring living people.
The thought in his heart turned sharply, and Wei Ye didn't care about the bullshit posture of the officials from Luoyang, such as the kind of "gentleman who is far away from the kitchen", and ran towards the stove of the Wang family's guest house with a quick turn.
When he arrived at the stove, the immortal warlock didn't even care about these reserves, and as soon as he lifted the hem of Qingxi's robe, he sat down cross-legged on the ground. Close your eyes, concentrate, close your heart, and all the mana of your body will be transported to your ears!
