Man in the wilderness, Shui Yuan becomes a saint

Chapter 26: Martyrs' Shrine, Ancestral Shrine Method, Incense and Shinto

"Heroic Martyrs' Shrine? To worship ancestors, heroes, and sages?"

"This move is quite rare."

Qi Yu seemed to be sighing with emotion and uttered a sigh whose meaning was unknown.

However, his sigh did not seem abrupt. In fact, in the prehistoric world today, there is indeed no complete ritual of ancestor worship. After all, in the prehistoric world, the mainstream is still the innate gods, and the gods have a long lifespan and do not need to consider such things.

Only for races like humans and demons, birth, aging, sickness and death are the norm they have to face. Of course, some things are derived from this.

For example, this shrine to the heroes of the human race is like this.

Before the three human celestial beings could say anything, Qi Yu looked at the Shrine of Heroes and asked.

"Does this method have any origin among humans?"

Hearing this, the young celestial being named Yu Shui spoke again and answered Qi Yu.

"Your Majesty, this shrine of heroes and martyrs was built by our tribe in imitation of the holy land of the East China Sea. The ancestral shrine of the holy land was only built after His Majesty the Saint Emperor took the throne and spread to all parts of the human race."

Hearing this answer, Qi Yu's interest naturally grew stronger. This human race's Holy Emperor Hong seemed to be even more interesting than he had imagined.

"Oh? Is it the Holy Emperor of your human race again? It seems that this Majesty is truly extraordinary and has the appearance of a heroic ruler."

"However, I have another question for you. Apart from offering sacrifices and burning incense to our ancestors, does your shrine have any other uses?"

Qi Yu's words confused the young celestial being named Yu Shui, and he didn't know how to answer.

Originally, he felt proud of Qi Yu's praise in the first half of the sentence, but now, he could only stand there stupidly, not knowing what to do.

"Use...other use...this?"

In fact, not only him, but also the other two human celestial beings present seemed very puzzled at this moment.

There was no other reason. Qi Yu's question seemed too strange to them. Isn't the Martyrs' Shrine a place to worship and pay tribute to the predecessors? What other uses could it have?

In the end, it was Xuan Jing, the King of Men and the Clan Leader, who stepped forward to rescue his people.

"I don't know what the God means. As far as I know, this Martyrs' Shrine should have no other function. I don't know what the God means."

These words immediately made Qi Yu understand that the human race was currently unaware of the actual value of the so-called Martyrs' Shrine they had built.

However, this is no wonder.

After all, although reincarnation has been established now, the underworld is still blocked by turbid evil energy, and Hou Tu, as the mother of the underworld and inheritor of the authority over the underworld from the Emperor of Earth Yue Jian, has been unable to sort out the affairs of the underworld and distinguish between yin and yang.

Therefore, the people of today are still in a state of partial understanding regarding matters of life and death.

Many methods that will be deduced and gradually flourish in the future are not popular in the ancient world now.

Especially, the part about totems and ancestral spirits.

There is no doubt that this is definitely a great thing for Qi Yu!

The more blank spaces there are in all aspects of the prehistoric world, the more space Qi Yu has to paint. For example, the human race did not know the true method of the ancestral temple, and only began to perform superficial sacrifices and offerings. That is why Qi Yu had the opportunity to intervene in this matter and seize the opportunity. Therefore, when facing the question of the Xuanjing Human King, Qi Yu answered like this.

"Oh, this is the master. I have previously created a method that relies on sacrificial incense to make the heroic spirits of ancestors appear holy, open up a sacred incense realm in the world of the living, and reappear in the world."

"This method is used among the acquired races. If the offerings are done properly, the spirits of the ancestors can reproduce their former magical powers and protect the race. This can be regarded as a clever idea of ​​mine."

Having said that, Qi Yu paused for a moment, and when he saw that everyone's attention was focused on this so-called method, he spoke again.

However, Qi Yu did not explain the secret of this method, but kept it a secret.

"I saw your race building ancestral temples and offering sacrifices, and I thought there were similar methods. Now it seems that I was just overthinking, but it doesn't matter."

Having said that, Qi Yu pretended to leave and go to the next place to take a look. Seeing Qi Yu's actions, the three human beings beside him who had already heard it with red eyes hurried forward, and after looking at each other, they actually knelt down in front of the former!

The leader, King Xuan Jing, kowtowed with the greatest etiquette among the human race.

"God, have mercy! Our human race is an acquired race. During the ancient catastrophe, we had to flee to the wilderness and survive because we had to escape from the Human Emperor Palace."

"Fortunately, Taiyi is now in power, governing the world, allowing the human race to gradually have the opportunity to cultivate themselves. With the mercy of the three great gods of East Kunlun, our tribe has been able to barely recover and have the current situation."

"And this method of the gods, based on offering incense to ancestors, can allow the ancestors to bless future generations, and can even greater benefit us, the later generations. I wonder how many unnecessary disasters this world can avoid."

"Therefore, I beg the God to grant me this method. If the God agrees, my human race's holy land will repay the God generously. I also hope that the God will be merciful and have pity on us!"

Obviously, Xuan Jing, who could achieve the realm of heaven and man with his acquired body and was the king of men, could not be a fool. On the contrary, he could realize the great significance of Qi Yu's method to the human race better than anyone else. At the same time, he could see that Qi Yu definitely threw out this bait intentionally, waiting for them to take the bait.

Although he didn't understand why a god like Qi Yu would be like this, Xuan Jing was very clear about one thing, that is, Qi Yu might not necessarily plot against other races, but the human race really needed this method urgently.

After all, the situation on the ancient land is not peaceful at all!

In the wilderness, all races fought against each other, which was the survival of the fittest. Under this survival logic of the jungle, the human race, which was not inherently strong, had suffered countless losses. It was really through blood and tears that they came to where they are today.

As for, the human race also has a holy land in the East China Sea?
That’s right, the overall strength of the human race is not weak, and there is the East China Sea Holy Land to suppress the luck. But it is just an East China Sea Holy Land, how can it truly protect the entire race?

For a tribe like his Wuji, being in the immortal land of East Kunlun might be okay, with the opportunity to accumulate resources and achieve a certain degree of rise, but what about the other weak human tribes? What about those human settlements far away from the East China Sea and without the support of the great gods?

The blood and tears will probably never stop.

Therefore, Xuan Jing wanted to seek this method for the human race. Even though he was only the human king of Kunlun and could not represent the entire human holy land, he still had to beg Qi Yu.

All of this was just him fulfilling his responsibility as a human being and his duty as a king.

As Xuan Jing kowtowed with great ceremony, behind him, Yu Shui and Su Xin, two human celestial beings, also kowtowed with great ceremony and spoke earnestly to Qi Yu.

“I beg the gods to have mercy on the human race’s hardship and pass down the Dharma!”
