Mythology: Erlang Shen begins to show his divine power in the heavens

Chapter 163: The Clever Great Shaman of Shennong
"Great witch, there is news from our tribe."

A small shaman from Shennong clan found the leader of the centaur and said.

There is a tree tattooed on the leader’s forehead, and its name is Tuoyeji.

Among Shennong clan.

The organizational structure is actually relatively simple.

In addition to the leader who clearly controls everything, he is also a chieftain, or simply called Shennong or Yan Emperor.

The other positions, from most important to least important, are probably priest/witch, military officer, field officer, hunter officer, worker officer, elder, envoy officer, warehouse officer, and junior officer.

A witch is a priest or a shaman who possesses divine power. He can communicate with the ancestral gods who protect the tribe and use the relevant power to strengthen the tribe.

A Bingzheng is a general who leads soldiers to wage war or defend their homeland.

Tian Zheng is the one who manages the fields.

Generally speaking, the status of Lie Zheng is higher than that of Tian Zheng, but it is different for Shennong clan. Shennong clan emphasizes farming, so the status of Tian Zheng is more important.

Lie Zheng and Gong Zheng, no need to say more.

The elders are responsible for preaching and receiving instruction, or serving as the leader's think tank when necessary.

The shizheng is a diplomat, the cangzheng is in charge of the warehouse, and the shaozheng is responsible for the growth of young people.

In short.

Except for the tribal leader.

The most powerful ones are the priests/witches.

In this system.

Specifically, there are two types of people with the greatest power, namely the high priest and the high witch.

Under the high priest and the high shaman are priests and shamans.

The priest is responsible for communicating with the ancestral gods and respected gods within the tribe, and for offering sacrifices to the gods.

The witch is responsible for using divine power to perform different blessings.

A simple analogy is.

The priest is responsible for making money, and the shaman is responsible for spending money.

The two have equal status.

After all, shamans also have the ability to communicate with ancestral gods to obtain divine power, but they generally do not do so.

Only with clear division of labor can efficiency be high.

However, there are often more than one great shaman.

This time, Shennong was sent back to Duguang Wilderness to be one of the great shamans, named Tuoye Ji. He had worked as a field official and a military official along the way. Finally, he gained recognition from more ancestral gods, accumulated divine power, and successfully became a shaman.

Now he has been entrusted with an important task and sent out to carry out pioneering work.

"What did our tribe say?"

Tuoye Ji asked.

The little witch wished:

"The high priest said that the god in Du Guang Ye is not to be feared. Due to some reasons, his strength has been greatly reduced. Even if he wants to establish a kingdom of God, he cannot exert strong power.

We can only rely on our status as a god to intimidate the local people. Our current strength is enough to deal with them.

As long as we occupy the entire Duguang Wilderness before he recovers his strength, our tribe will be able to develop rapidly.

Even if he fully recovers his strength, we will have enough strength to fight him by then."

Tuoye Ji was silent for a moment, then said:

"But, that venerable god has a terrifying beast called the Tengu beside him. The Tengu is so powerful that it can even swallow the sun. Even if his own strength is greatly reduced, just sending the Tengu alone can destroy the power we have now."

The little witch wished:

“The high priest said that he had contacted the Xuanyuan clan, Fuxi clan, Nuwa clan, etc., as well as the high priests of the Zhurong clan and Gonggong clan in the Taiyi pantheon, regarding the Tengu.

It won't be long before we have a way to deal with the Tengu. For now, just follow the original plan."

Tuo Yeji nodded:
"In that case, then..."

The words were not finished.

As if he had noticed something, he looked up suddenly and saw a huge shadow appearing on the horizon. It was moving at an astonishing speed and was approaching overhead almost in the moment when everyone noticed it.

The shadow covered the sky and the sun, as if an ancient giant beast had descended, making people feel chilled.

Their army consists of more than 10,000 people.

Among them, five hundred wizards possess divine powers and can cast spells to bestow blessings.

The other nine thousand five are all elites.

A man who is good at all kinds of things - fighting, hunting, farming, building.

It can be called all-round.

Each person was accompanied by at least two tigers, wolves, or exotic beasts. It looked like an army of tens of thousands of soldiers gathered together in a majestic and imposing manner.

however.

This is such a large army.

Under the shadow cast by the terrifying existence above the sky, it still only occupied a very small area.

"That is."

Tuoye Ji's pupils shrank and he thought to himself that something was wrong.

“Tengu?!”

The people around him exclaimed.

But the people were of good quality and did not disrupt the formation, but waited seriously.

"I hope it's just a coincidence."

One person said.

But unfortunately, the huge shadow did not pass by as everyone wished, but stopped steadily above their heads, as if an invisible mountain was pressing on everyone's heart.

Shrouded in shadow, the light between heaven and earth seemed to be swallowed up, leaving only a suffocating feeling of oppression.

The next moment, the huge shadow began to shrink rapidly, as if compressed by some invisible force.

In the blink of an eye, the shadow turned into a white-haired puppy, floating lightly in the air.

Its fur is as white as snow, its eyes are extremely arrogant, and it exudes a heart-pounding aura.

Next to the white-haired spaniel, a man wearing a black robe with a white shirt underneath stood in the air.

His face was handsome and stern, and the divine pattern between his eyebrows glowed with mysterious light, as if it contained endless wisdom and power.

His eyes were indifferent and deep as he looked down at the people below, as if he was looking at a group of insignificant ants.

On the other side of the man stood a black-haired miniature terrier.

Its hair is as black as ink and its eyes are as sharp as a knife, forming a sharp contrast with the white-haired terrier.

One black and one white, the two greyhounds stand on both sides, each with a unique temperament.

Lin Yuan looked down at the people below and said slowly:

"People of the Shennong clan, who allowed you to trespass into the Duguang wilderness?"

His tone was calm, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.

After feeding the Tengu.

He started to get down to business.

And now.

He already knew that his identity as an innate god was extremely intimidating to ordinary creatures.

therefore.

Lin Yuan felt that he didn't need to go to those native clans in Duguangzhiye right away.

Anyway, just reveal your identity.

There is a high probability that those people will take the initiative to join him.

In this case.

All we have to do is deal with the outsiders who invade Duguangye.

Tuoye Ji took a deep breath, stepped forward, and saluted:
"Your Majesty, we are here at the order of Emperor Yan to expand the territory of Duguang. We have no intention of offending you. Please understand me."

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this:
"Expanding the territory? Ha. How ridiculous! Don't you know that this is my territory? Did you get my permission to expand the territory?"

Tuo Yeji glanced at the Tengu beside Lin Yuan and said calmly:
“Duguang Plain is a fertile land, but since the Lord God is unwilling to establish a kingdom here, allowing those clans to fight each other endlessly will only increase casualties.

Emperor Yan could not bear to see the people of Duguang fall into war, so he sent me here. I beg the gods to allow us to spread the prestige of Shennong here for Emperor Yan's sake.

In this case, when Emperor Yan arrives, he will definitely present a generous gift to help the Venerable God recover his strength as soon as possible!"

He directly pointed out that he knew Lin Yuan's condition was not good and wanted to use this to test Lin Yuan.

But a pity.

Lin Yuan didn't buy it at all.

"Emperor Yan's face?"

Lin Yuan repeated it softly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"The Yan Emperor of Shennong is indeed famous, but what does this have to do with me?"

Although his voice was soft, it exploded in everyone's ears like thunder.

Tuoye Ji's heart sank, knowing that the god before him was not someone who could be easily persuaded.

Lin Yuan slowly raised his hand and lightly tapped his fingertips. Suddenly, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to be drawn by some invisible force, condensing into a dazzling beam of light, shooting straight into the sky.

The beam of light contained an endless pressure, as if even the heaven and earth were to submit to it. "Duguang Wilderness is my territory. No one may interfere without my permission!"

Lin Yuan's voice was cold and majestic, as if he was the supreme ruler of this place.

"As for the wars you mentioned, I will soon put an end to all the tribes and make all the local people belong to my Shu Kingdom. You outsiders don't need to worry about these things."

Tuoye Ji took another deep breath, took another step forward, and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, I, Shennong, did not intend to offend you.

However, the wild resources in Duguang are rich. If we, Shennong, can use them, it will surely benefit all people.

If the God is willing, I, Shennong, am willing to assist the God in establishing the Kingdom of Shu and worship the God as the Lord of Shu! Shennong does not ask for much, but only hopes that the Kingdom of Shu and Shennong can be on good terms and share what they have. "

"Assist me?" Lin Yuan smiled and said, "You are quite courageous, but why do you think I need your assistance?"

Tuoye Ji's heart tightened, but he still remained calm.

He said in a deep voice: "Although the Venerable God is an innate Venerable God, his power has not yet fully recovered.

Our Shennong clan has a profound foundation. If we can get help from our clan, the speed at which the God recovers his strength will surely be greatly accelerated.

In addition, I, Shennong, am good at farming and medicine, and can bring prosperity and stability to the country.

This is also a hundred benefits and no harm to the God. "

“Also, the Lord God may not know that now, other tribes, such as Xuanyuan, Fuxi, Nuwa, Zhurong, Gonggong, etc., are ready to join forces to deal with the Heavenly Dog around the Lord God first.

As for the Honored God, forgive me for being frank, but now they all know that the Honored God is not as powerful as before, and he may not be able to contend against the coalition forces of many races.

If the Lord God can recover some strength with the help of Shennong, and with the help of Shennong, he will surely defeat their conspiracy!"

Lin Yuan was silent for a moment, his eyes lingering on Tuo Yeji for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons.

After a moment, he slowly said:

"Your proposal does make some sense. However, I think you are also part of the alliance against Tengu, right?"

Tuo Yeji admitted frankly:
"That's right. If the God hadn't found us so quickly, I might have been part of the team that dealt with the God."

“But now that things have come to this, for the sake of survival and for the maximization of the interests of the God and our Shennong clan, I think that if the God is willing to accept the assistance of the Shennong clan, we can jointly establish the Kingdom of Shu.

It will surely make the situation in Duguang better.”

Lin Yuan burst into laughter when he heard this.

He thought the people in this world of mountains and seas were really interesting.

He seems to speak directly, without beating around the bush.

Tell you my true thoughts directly and state the pros and cons of the matter directly, so that you can make your own decision.

This kind of temperament
But he likes it very much.

But Lin Yuan would not agree directly to this, he said:

"Your proposal is indeed very tempting to me, but why should I believe you?"

When Tuo Ye Ji heard this, he was delighted and felt that things had taken a turn for the better.

If we can establish a relationship with this god and help him establish the Kingdom of Shu,
The benefits behind this may be greater than if Shennong occupied Duguang Wilderness alone.

After all, a complete god is definitely a clan's foundation that cannot be ignored.

Even though Shennong occupied the Duguang Plain, he could not guarantee that he could obtain power comparable to that of a god by relying on this fertile land.

And this is not to mention whether it can finally occupy
in summary.

Tuoye Jizhen thought it would be better to help the god Erlang to establish the Kingdom of Shu.

So he said quickly:

"If the God does not believe me, I can swear a blood oath, with the order of the great witch of the Shennong clan as a guarantee, that I will never break my promise today!"

"Only your order, Great Shaman?" Lin Yuan shook his head:
"not enough."

Tuoye Ji was silent for a moment, then said:

"If the Lord is willing to wait for a while, I will contact my clan immediately, explain this matter to Emperor Yan and the high priest, and persuade them to help the Lord establish the Kingdom of Shu."

Lin Yuan nodded:

"So good."

So, Tuoye Ji summoned five hundred shamans, prepared for the ceremony, and contacted Emperor Yan of the Shennong clan and the high priest of the Shennong clan who were countless miles away.

Tuo Yeji was seen standing on an open grassland, surrounded by five hundred shamans. They were wearing simple sacrificial robes, holding various magical instruments, and had solemn expressions on their faces.

He stood in the center, raised his hands high, muttered something, and began to chant an ancient spell.

As the spell sounded, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth began to slowly gather, forming streams of light visible to the naked eye, surrounding Tuo Yeji's body.

Five hundred shamans also raised their magic tools at the same time and chanted in a low voice following Tuo Yeji's rhythm.

Their voices merged into a huge sound wave, as if resonating with the heaven and earth.

Waves of strange divine power emerged from them.

Behind every divine power, there seems to be an ancestor who had made contributions to Shennong in the past. They were worshipped after their death and thus deified, and they are always watching Shennong from an unknown place.

Protecting Shennong.

After some time.

A huge curtain of light appeared in the sky, and the scene of the Shennong tribe, which was countless miles away, was vaguely visible in the curtain of light.

The figures of Emperor Yan and the high priest gradually became clear. They stood on a towering altar with deep eyes, as if they could penetrate time and space and look directly at Tuo Yeji.

Tuoye Ji took a deep breath, saluted respectfully to Emperor Yan in the light curtain, and then said:

"Your Majesty, Tuo Yeji has something important to report."

Emperor Yan nodded slightly, his voice deep and majestic:
"Tuoyeji, what is so urgent that requires such a large-scale ceremony to contact our clan?"

Tuo Yeji did not reply immediately, but looked at Lin Yuan and said:

"God, please move."

Lin Yuan nodded, came to his side, and looked at Emperor Yan.

Emperor Yan's gaze fell on Lin Yuan, and a hint of surprise and solemnity flashed in his eyes.

He obviously recognized Lin Yuan's identity. After all, the aura of the innate god cannot be concealed.

However, he did not expect that the deity would find the person he sent to Duguang Wilderness so quickly. He did not know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

But looking at Tuoye Ji's expression, he didn't seem worried. It seemed that he had some plans.

"It turns out that the Lord God has come in person. I'm sorry I can't go in person."

Emperor Yan performed a strange etiquette towards Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan nodded and said nothing.

Tuoye Ji then spoke and told Lin Yuan what he had said before, that he wanted Shennong to assist Lin Yuan in establishing the Kingdom of Shu in Duguangzhiye and help him fight off other foreign clans.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan frowned.

The high priest standing by was also solemn.

He had just discussed with the high priests of other clans how to deal with the Tengu beside the God Erlang. Many things had been finalized and a consensus had been reached.

As a result, such a situation suddenly happened to Tuoye Ji?

Emperor Yan frowned slightly, looking back and forth between Lin Yuan and Tuo Ye Ji, as if weighing the pros and cons.

After a moment, he ignored Lin Yuan beside him and slowly said:

"Tuoyeji, do you know that this matter is of great importance? If we cooperate with the Lord God, our Shennong clan will bear huge responsibilities and risks."

Tuoye Ji nodded and said:

"Emperor, I am fully aware of the importance of this matter. With the power and wisdom of the Lord God, plus the foundation of my Shennong clan, I will surely bring unprecedented prosperity to Duguang Wilderness.

In my opinion, cooperating with the Lord God is far more in line with our interests than joining forces with other clans to fight against the Lord God and finally fighting each other to seize the right to rule the Du Guang Wilderness. "

Emperor Yan was silent for a moment, then looked at Lin Yuan and said in a deep voice:
"Erlang Lord, I, Shennong, can assist you in establishing the Kingdom of Shu and fight against other foreign clans, but...
Can the Lord God ensure that after the establishment of Shu Kingdom, we can, to a certain extent, exchange what we have with Shennong and promote each other?"

Lin Yuan said:
"How could I, as a god, deceive you on such a small matter?"

"You are so straightforward, I won't hide it from you."

"The reason why I changed my previous attitude and wanted to rule the Duguang Plain and establish the Kingdom of Shu is that I wanted to use the merits of education to help me recover as soon as possible."

"With Shennong's participation, Duguang Wilderness will surely become more prosperous, and the merits of education I can gain will be even greater. How could I ruin such a thing?"

He looked at Tuoye Ji again:
"You should be thankful that there is such a decisive and wise person among the Shennong clan, otherwise..."

"I might have already killed all of you outsiders before!"

He sneered:

"Although my strength is not as strong as the peak, you guys seem to be looking down on me."

When Emperor Yan saw this, he said:

“In this case, I can represent the entire Shennong clan and promise to assist the God to establish the Kingdom of Shu in Du Guangzhiye, and in the process, provide the God with magical medicine that can help him recover.

Once the Kingdom of Shu is established, the God will allow Shu and Shennong to travel freely without restrictions. "

Lin Yuan nodded:

"can."

Emperor Yan then said something to the high priest beside him.

The high priest then stepped forward and said:
"Your Highness is a noble being. Although we are blessed by our ancestors, we are still mortals after all. I will call upon the 26th generation ancestor of Shennong, Emperor Yan, which makes a total of 27 generations now."

"The twenty-seven Flame Emperors will swear an oath with the Venerable God."

"Will the Lord accept it?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said:

"You are cautious, come on!"
