Section 353

Originally, there were eight children, but they kept dying during their growth, and no disease could be found.

Seven of them died in accidents, which was similar to the plot of the Grim Reaper. In the end, only one child survived, and the surviving child was the survivor wearing the golden crystal necklace.

This is the case for every generation of the Hernan family.

No matter how many children there are, only one will survive in the end. The last survivor will dream of the beheaded statue of the god in his later years, and eventually die in endless repentance.

Before the Spanish arrived in America, the Aztecs had established the Aztec Empire, the largest country in North America.

The Aztec Empire was a religious empire, and the main god was Huitzilopochtli, whose divine power represented the sun god and the god of war.

Out of awe of the gods, especially Huitzilopochtli.

The scale of the Aztec human sacrifices was unprecedented. According to scholars, in the less than two hundred years of the history of the Aztec Empire, as many as 20,000 people were sacrificed every year.

The main god worshipped by the Aztecs, Huitzilopochtli, was a powerful god, judging from the scale of sacrifices and the huge number of believers.

When the Spanish conquered this empire, it was inevitable that there would be confrontations with supernatural forces.

But the result was that the Spanish won.

Then, the beheaded god that the Hernan family saw in their dreams in their later years was most likely Huitzilopochtli. As for who, or the power of the gods, killed Huitzilopochtli, Yue Zhenshan is not sure for the time being.

These secrets have been buried in the dust of history.

Perhaps the answer can be found in the secret archives of the Catholic Church. After all, the Spanish established Mexico in the Americas, and 88% of the residents in Mexico believe in Catholicism, which can be said to be the only one.

Before leaving the shipyard, Yue Zhenshan asked Tang Yishan to lead Kim McDonald and others to familiarize themselves with the newly built bloody battleship.

Yue Zhenshan and Hernan Irving returned to the villa where they lived.

Hernan Irving came to Shenzhou this time, and he bet everything.

All his assets in Europe have been sold to recruit his former comrades. In addition, he brought his wife and children with him this time.

When they went to the shipyard before, Hernan Ivan's son and his wife also lived in the other courtyard.

However, Yue Zhenshan and his friends were talking about business, and the mother and son did not come out to meet Yue Zhenshan.

"Tifa, where is little Kewan?"

"Well, Ivan, why are you back?"

Hernan Ivan's wife has the characteristics of European women, with a relatively large face and sharp corners.

In addition, she is about 30 years old and her figure is beginning to develop towards European aunties.

I think, in this era, there are not many Western women like Naya Stocker who meet Yue Zhenshan's aesthetics.

When he saw this woman, Yue Zhenshan couldn't help but think of Naya Stocker.

This is his first foreign motorcycle (details: Chapter 59).

"Well, he's sleeping in the house. He just fell asleep for a while."

"Let's go inside and take a look!"

The child is sleeping, so it's a good time to check his body.

When awake, one's consciousness will be more active, which will cover up some abnormal fluctuations in the soul.

After a person's consciousness falls asleep, the abnormal conditions hidden in the soul will appear. If it is really a curse involving the soul, it will be more convenient for Yue Zhenshan to check when he is asleep.

"Who is this?"

"Tifa, this is Mr. Yue, the Eastern Demon Hunter I told you about before."

"Mr. Yue is the most powerful Demon Hunter I have ever seen."

After hearing the introduction of Hernan Ivan, Tifa's eyes suddenly showed a ray of hope.

"Mr. Yue, please save Kewan, I am willing to take out all the gold coins as a reward."

"Okay, let's go in and see what the situation is."

Ordinary gold coins, Yue Zhenshan doesn't care.

He is curious about what kind of power this curse from the gods is.

After entering the room where Xiao Kewan sleeps, the golden crystal on his neck immediately attracted Yue Zhenshan's attention. There is a power that Yue Zhen is familiar with in this golden crystal.

Chapter 419 The Road to Shinto

The golden crystal on Xiao Wanke's neck is diamond-shaped.

On the periphery of the golden crystal,

there are strands of white silk threads converging towards this diamond-shaped crystal.

Yue Zhenshan has seen this kind of white silk thread before, and he is very familiar with it.

The last time he teamed up with Uncle Jiu to destroy the Gauls' base in Annan, the Gauls resurrected the four-winged angel through prayer in the city on the top of the mountain. In the prayer temple, Yue Zhenshan saw this kind of white silk thread.

It is the power of faith born when devout believers pray.

From the situation of the power of faith gathering around the crystal, the source of these powers of faith almost all floated over from America and appeared around this crystal.

Yue Zhenshan dared to be sure that

this golden crystal has an inseparable relationship with the native gods of America.

Western gods are not quite the same as those of the East.

The status of the Eastern pantheon is lower than that of the immortal civilization.

The immortal emphasizes transcendence,

while the Shinto will be bound by priests and believers,

In the Eastern civilization, when practicing Shinto, the priesthood will be condensed into Shinto summons, through which believers will be communicated with Shinto summons, and the power of faith will be used to divide the priesthood of the entire pantheon into different positions of different sizes.

There are two benefits to doing this.

First, the divine power is systematized, and the one who maintains the entire divine system is the Lord of the Three Realms.

The Lord of the Three Realms has the highest divine power, and then the divine power is divided into different priesthoods, thus developing into a huge and complex multi-themed three-dimensional mythological structure.

The advantage of doing this is that the entire Shinto has room for promotion, and there is no need to expand the scope of its divine power by launching a war of gods, which can avoid wars between gods.

The core of the war of gods in the West is the struggle between believers and divine power.

This is also the reason why most Western religions are monotheistic.

Because the gods are full of contradictions between divine powers, they cannot be integrated together, and thus wars between pantheons break out.

The practice of Shenzhou Shinto first integrates the internal into a whole, and then everyone works together to make a bigger cake, thereby dividing greater benefits, and the people who believe in the gods are the carriers of the gods.

This is also the special relationship between ordinary people and gods in Shenzhou.

Shenzhou people have complex beliefs. In the system of gods, they worship whichever god is most effective.

For example, there are various gods of wealth.

The second difference between Eastern and Western Shinto is that the underlying logic of the gods is also different.

Eastern Shinto emphasizes following the will of heaven, and the authority of gods comes from heaven.

Gods guard all things on behalf of heaven and follow the orderly operation of all things.

Therefore, while Eastern gods use the power of faith to practice, they are actually growing together with heaven and earth.

For example, the underworld, which represents the lineage of ghosts and gods, operates the six reincarnations to bring the souls of living beings to reincarnation, and continuously expands the number of living beings between heaven and earth. This is the process of the expansion of heaven and earth.

In this process, the lineage of ghosts and gods, that is, the underworld, also grew its divine power in this process and became a huge system of gods spanning all heavens and worlds.

Western Shinto is different from the East.

Western Shinto emphasizes omniscience and omnipotence, and is monotheism.

On the other hand,

from the most basic aspect,

the cultivation of Western gods is to combine divine power with their own souls,

use the power of believers' faith to ignite souls and turn them into divine fire to become demigods,

and finally condense the crystal of divine nature to become a Western god. After becoming a god, the most important thing is to establish their own kingdom of God.

The kingdom of God is the foundation of Western gods, and the foundation of their growth.

After Western gods melt their souls and divine power together, the kingdom of God is equivalent to the exclusive world of gods, and gods in the kingdom of God are equivalent to the way of heaven.

After the death of Western believers, their faith reaches a certain level, and their souls can be led to the kingdom of God.

In this operating mode,

there is a contradiction between gods and the outside world,

Western gods are equivalent to parasites of the outside world,

every believer, in essence, is a part of the world,

when Western believers are led to the kingdom of God by gods, then the origin of the world will be reduced by one point.
