Chapter 12 Behind the Deification

Li Zhan told his father that he had returned from the fairy world, but in fact he was more of a joke with his father, because they were all closest family members. However, Li Zhan never dreamed that his joke was really taken seriously by his father, and he even told this joke in front of his grandfather, grandmother, uncle and aunt.

This is simply a joke, how could anyone believe such nonsense?

"Oh no, no!" Just as Li Zhan was nervous about explaining.

What Li Zhan even more unexpected was that when his father finished speaking, his uncle immediately stood up from his position as if he had been possessed by evil spirits and shouted: "So that's it, so that's it. I just said, I don't know why the last time I saw our Zhan'er, our Zhan'er seemed to have glory all over his body.

There is also blood malaria, which is a livestock disease that is not curable at all, but my family can solve it without thinking about it.

Now I finally know that Zhan'er in my family is someone favored by gods. Oh, it's really great, it's really great!"

"Clam!" Li Zhan was stunned by his uncle's sudden assist.

However, his uncle's assist had just ended, and his uncle immediately said: "No wonder summer can turn into ice. Haha, you all look at it. This is ice. Even the county masters in Lantian County may not be able to eat it.

But Zhan'er can make it himself. What is this not the favor of immortals?"

"The immortals are grateful for their favor with the Li and Zhang family!"

When Li Zhan was a little stunned, Zhang Damao and his wife actually knelt down. Zhang Damao, the elder, knelt down. Can anyone else stand and follow Li Zhan's father, mother, younger brother and sister, all except Li Zhan kneeled down. Li Zhan was completely stunned.

He really didn't expect that his family would believe his boring jokes.

"This is the one!" Li Zhan looked at Zhang Damao and others who were kneeling down. At this time, he was stunned. After thinking for a long time, he could only swallow the lie silently and said: "Grandpa and uncle, I am favored by immortals. I hope everyone will not say it, because if you say it, someone may be unfavorable to me."

In fact, even Li Zhan himself didn't believe this.

Zhang Damao, who was on the side, said with great enthusiasm: "Zhan'er, don't worry! The family here knows today that if there is another person who knows that Zhan'er, you are favored by immortals, I, Zhang Damao, will never stop with him."

After saying that, Zhang Damao looked at his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson Li Zhan viciously again. He just didn't want this joke to be spread, but who would have thought that Zhang Damao would be so serious.

Li Zhan didn't know what to say.

In fact, what Li Zhan didn't know was his lie, which greatly stimulated his grandmother, uncle and others, because in this era, the ancients were still very willing to believe in the existence of gods.

You don’t know that since ancient times, the Chinese have had many folk beliefs. They are full of worship of gods, ghosts, ancestors, sages and even various objects in nature. By screening and combining these gods, they have established a complex system of gods, including: the god of the country, the god of heaven, the god of thunder, the god of wind and rain, the god of mountain, the god of land, the god of water, the god of kitchen, the god of door, the god of wealth, the god of blessing, the longevity star, the moon, etc.

The reason why ancient people believed in gods and monsters was that the ancients did not have much ability, so they were completely powerless when encountering disasters. This feeling of powerlessness made them very scared, so they could only place their faith on the gods and immortals so that they could get a little comfort.

Another reason why they firmly believe that the existence of gods is that the lies made by the emperors to deify themselves, such as Huangdi, the head of the "Five Emperors", who appears abnormal as soon as they are born, will speak shortly after they are born, and will understand everything at the age of 15.

Liu Bang's mother was asleep by a lake. Liu Bang's father saw a dragon lying on Liu Bang's mother, and later became pregnant and gave birth to Liu Bang.

When Cao Pi was born, seven-color clouds appeared in the sky, surrounding them all day long without dispersing.

When Yang Jian was born, purple qi filled the courtyard.

Two golden dragons appeared in Li Shimin when he was born. It was winter but the weather was very warm, and all the flowers in the courtyard were in bloom.

The above are all records of the emperor's birth. In short, it is natural for strange phenomena when he was born, and he is destined to be a person who accomplishes great things. Every emperor has different phenomena, which is really difficult for historians to be a historian. When describing the birth of the emperor, he must highlight both destiny and characteristics, and must not be similar to the one described in the previous emperor's birth. Fortunately, the historians at that time were selected through layers of examinations, and their writing styles were first-class, and they were best at judging words.

The fundamental meaning of these descriptions is to promote "monarchy's power and divine empowerment" and strengthen one's own legal status.

The people cannot let the people know that as long as you have the ability, power and strength, you can overthrow and everyone will come to sit down. So they adopted many policies to fool the people, such as Zhu Yuanzhang himself did not believe in gods, but he promoted many absurd miracles and deceived the people to make them obey.

Therefore, among many ignorant policies, deifying the origin of the emperor is the most intuitive and effective way. The normal state of birth, old age, sickness and death, especially life is closely related to every family. Deifying the various visions at birth will make ordinary people know that the reason why they are poor, angry, and ruled is because their birth is mediocre. To put it bluntly, it is the fate of suffering, poor and angry. The reason why emperors are emperors is because they are different from ordinary people at birth. They are gods and immortals who come down to earth and God arranges them to do great things. So they slowly believe in their destiny, settle down with the status quo, and do not want to resist, so the ruler will be able to maintain peace in the world.

Because of such foolish people, a large number of people are willing to believe in the existence of gods. Li Zhan’s lies made up by his father from the beginning to the firm belief later.

In addition to Li Zhan's endless means, more importantly, Li Zhan's father, grandpa, uncle, aunt, and cousins ​​want to believe that Li Zhan is a fairy's son. In this case, Li Zhan, who has a fairy's son, becomes his relative.

Then they will not suffer again, suffer from poverty or starvation in the future. If they believe in gods, it is better to say that they are a kind of determination for a happy life in the future.

It is precisely because of this that Li Zhan’s lies are so firmly believed by his relatives.

The night slowly became deeper. Looking at his relatives with satisfaction and complacent smiles, Li Zhan no longer wanted to defend himself. As long as his family believed in him and were willing to trust him and did not tell him about this matter, then forget it.

But Li Zhan didn't know that there was no airtight wall in this world. As long as there was someone there, there would be no secrets in this world.

Li Zhan was favored by the gods, but one day he was known whether it was a blessing or a disaster, and everything was unknown.
