From Overturning Altars and Destroying Temples to Becoming Gods in the World

"Master, why do future generations no longer swear by Luo Shui?" "Because it's so effective." "Effective?" "The Sima family was supposed to live a long life. After the Oath of Luoshui, the whole family was short-lived. Sima Shi's eyeball burst and died, Sima Zhao died in an unknown way, and Sima Yan gave birth to Sima Zhong who said, 'Why not eat minced meat?'" "What happened next?" "The Rebellion of the Eight Kings, the Rebellion of Yongjia, the Rebellion of Shile, Liu Jinu succeeded the Jin Dynasty and established the Song Dynasty. The direct line of the Sima family was almost extinct." "Is it really the work of those ascetics?" "Yes." "But I still feel that King Zhou is the last generation of human kings. Those gods should have knelt before the human king." "You are a Guizhou leader, and you have become unjust to Shang Zhou." "After Duke Zhou left, they stopped eating people and sacrificing people, not because they were kind-hearted, but because Duke Zhou chopped them down." "But sir, even if a person is killed and disabled, the people are still like cattle and horses. They farm when busy, fight in war, and use them as food rations in troubled times." "Every generation has to be cut down." "The sky is filled with gods and Buddhas, and the people have no intention or strength to resist." "Then tear down the temples and give them the will to resist. If you have the will, you will have the strength."
