Chapter 294: Sacrifice
In fact, the situation between Lei Dianying and General Lei Dian is very simple. It is nothing more than that the two of them have some disagreements because of Ren Lian Lingyi's situation.
In fact, General Lei Dian had the upper hand in the conversation.
It's all Lei Diany's fault for not thinking it through at the beginning, and wasn't it all tacitly accepted before? What's going on now?
Although strictly speaking now General Lei Dian and Lei Dianying are not the same person, they were once the same person. Even Lei Dianying herself has to admit this. General Lei Dian does not need to disguise herself. As long as she does not say that she is General Lei Dian and does not show her speed in handling official documents, then no one except Lei Dianzhen can tell who is who.
In fact, Lei Dianzhen can no longer tell them apart now, and Lei Dian's life energy level has also risen , so Lei Dianzhen can no longer use the previous methods to identify who is who. The strength of the two people's life breath is basically the same.
But if we don’t tell anyone about thunder and lightning, no one will know.
"Sister Zhen, I wonder how much you know about the rituals to appease the dead and commemorate the dead." Ren Lian Lingyi asked, "It's similar to the Liyue Immortal Sending Ceremony and the Sea Lantern Festival."
"Well~ Can you tell me if there are similar things happening among us Inazuma?" Raiden Makoto asked.
"Yes, at present I only know that we have a ritual of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons to appease the dead monsters." Ren Lian Lingyi said, "It seems that humans do not have such a ritual."
"And we seem to lack the tradition of building a temple for this death monster."
Inazuma usually worships living monsters, and dead monsters are basically forgotten unless it is the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.
At most, it is circulated in rural vernacular stories.
For example, the red ghost and the blue ghost, and the speed of Tengu.
Although they know these stories, they do not understand the truth behind them.
For example, who brought the title of Tengu Extreme Speed, who are the Blue Oni and the Red Oni, basically no one knows the things behind these.
As for the stories of the samurai, very few have been passed down from ancient times to the present.
When talking about these ancient warriors, people only have a vague impression that, oh, that guy is the founder of a certain swordsmanship school.
On the contrary, Xumi has done very well in this regard . Even Ren Lian Lingyi has not visited Xumi for a long time, but his status as an honorary scholar of Xumi and the title of [Already Distant Wisdom] are still well-known in Xumi.
Even though the relationship between the Sumeru Christian Religion Institute and the Inazuma shogunate is currently average, there are still many students and scholars who come to Inazuma for research and investigation every year.
Sometimes these people would come to visit [Distant Wisdom] to seek teachings, or simply visit, or request commercial authorization for some technical patents.
Thanks to the fact that the Xumi patent law is linked to people, the immortal species has made a lot of money in this regard.
"Build a shrine specifically to commemorate those who died in the war?" Lei Dianzhen asked tentatively.
She felt that this was not a good idea because the Inazuma Shrine was used to enshrine living monsters.
Although Liyue temples are often compared to Inazuma Shrine, the two really cannot be lumped together.
Ren Lian Lingyi also felt that this was not a good idea, because if he did so, it would always remind him of the Yasukuni Shrine Toilet. If it was really built, he would probably want to blow it up.
It is estimated that Lei Dianying will have similar ideas in a few decades. The reason why there is no such idea now is because Lei Dianying’s reincarnation cannot access information similar to the Yasukuni Shrine.
"I think we should compile the legendary deeds of the legendary figures who appeared in Inazuma. Oh, and also the deeds of the monsters who died in battle for the development of Inazuma."
"Whenever we hold a larger festival, we make these people and monsters the special themes of the festival."
"Hold the event similar to the Liyue Lantern Festival, but we can commemorate more monsters and warriors at once and hold it more often throughout the year."
After all, Inazuma is not like Liyue, which has many followers (Sage level, LV90+ to LV100), so these people (monsters) except Sasa Yuri do not need such a grand festival.
However, there are still many Inazuma who are top-level strongmen (LV80+ to LV90), so as Ren Lian Lingyi said, the number and frequency of sacrifices can be increased.
Moreover, such festivals may become better and better, because such festivals can attract investment.
For example, if someone was the ancestor of a certain family during his lifetime, and your ancestor's image appears in this ceremony, you have to pay money to sponsor it.
As their former unit, shouldn't you pay some Mora as the Third Lord?
There are also several monster tribes that are gradually getting richer. They are afraid of being poor, and they are reluctant to spend Mora. Monster festivals are mostly bartering, which makes Ren Lian Lingyi very headache. But now for such a festival, the monster tribes have to pay a little.
The more Ren Lian Lingyi thought about it, the more he felt that this was feasible. However, he also knew that it could not be fully commercialized, otherwise it would sooner or later deviate from the original intention of holding such a festival.
"Then we must come up with specific charters and rules as soon as possible to facilitate the management of these, and also stipulate the specific scale of the ceremony, the list of sacrificial personnel, and so on." Lei Dianzhen said.
"This can be handled by [Resurrection] and [Wisdom of One]. The preliminary list will be given to you and Lord Kitsai Palace, but the specific list still needs to be discussed by the general and the Son of God. After all, they are the two in charge at present." Ren Lian Lingyi said.
Although festivals and the like are managed by the community magistrate, the last two generations of community magistrates have been in poor condition, and the affairs of the festivals have almost all fallen into the hands of Yae Shinto.
Before Ren Lian Lingyi could finish his words, a pile of papers appeared on the desk.
This is the charter that has been created by [Resurrection] and [Wisdom of One], as well as the records of the dead Inazuma strongmen ranked according to their strength.
"Well, let me take a look at the charter and these rules and regulations first. Sister Zhen, please check if there are any omissions in these lists." Ren Lian Lingyi said.
The charter and rules and regulations are already relatively complete. After thinking about it, Ren Lian Lingyi decided to set an upper and lower limit for investment.
The upper limit is 500,000 Moras and the lower limit is 20,000 Moras.
The former is prepared for large families to prevent them from competing with each other, and the latter is prepared for individuals to let them act within their means. Currently, the average monthly income of low-income people among the Inazuma people is around 40,000 moras.
Due to the abundance of food, a standard family of five would not spend more than 6,000 Mora per month just on food. If they had meat for three meals a day, the cost would not exceed 18,000 Mora.
