Chapter 188: Orthodox Gods? Shinto revival?!
North of Taiping Province.
There is a Katsuyama mountain.
This mountain is deep and quiet, there is a view in the mountain, the name is called 'Wulang view', it is a vein of Meishan. The name of the master is 'Ding Yangzi', one of the 'Ten Elders of Meishan', and he is the elder of the Meishan Dharma Sect.
this day.
Katsuyamanaka.
Yu Ningzi came to the door to worship the mountain, and after the gossip, he made his intention clear: "Do the predecessors know the origin of the one-horned monster in the city of Taipingfu?" The younger generation heard that the monster was harmful a few days ago, so he went to submit. Every time it is knocked out of its original form and taken out of the city, it will not be long before the thing returns to the city. No matter how much you use it, it's useless. β
This Yu Ningzi is wearing a red scarf, not a bystander, it is the red-headed mage of the Lushan Dharma Sect who was bumped into by Chen Jichuan more than ten days ago and fought with the unicorn.
He often walked in the south of Dasui, and only after learning and succeeding in art did he walk in all directions, wanting to subdue demons and subdue demons and sweep the world.
Who knew that not long after he left, he encountered difficulties.
So I came to Katsuyama to ask for advice.
"Taiping Mansion City?"
Ding Yangzi had white hair and white beard, and his body was tough, and he couldn't help but shake his head when he heard the words: "That unicorn monster was originally a judge's pen, which was secretly worshiped by the White Lotus Demon Dao, but it became a climate a few years ago, turned into a spirit, and harmed the people. This monster is rooted in the city of Taipingfu, and it is the incarnation of the judge's pen, which cannot be taken away, beaten and broken, and Rao is old Tao is helpless against it, so he can only remind the people in the city not to come out and walk at night to avoid this monster. β
"Judge's pen?"
"White Lotus Sect?"
When Yu Ningzi heard this, he was stunned on the spot.
White Lotus taught him to be no stranger.
This is a cult that brings calamity to the country and the people, demagoguery the people, and harms living beings. It is not surprising that they have done evil deeds.
But the judge's pen?
"It is the 'soul hooking pen' in the hands of the former Taiping Mansion City God's Seat, after the world changed and the underworld collapsed, thousands of gods fell, and the Taiping City God was also among them. The military judges and the gods of the various divisions under his seat also disappeared, and only many magic weapons either fell in the underworld or in the sun. β
"This judge's pen is one of them."
"You have been to Taiping Mansion City, you should also know that there are rumors in the palace that Guanyin Niangniang's belt has become a 'white cloth monster', as well as the 'Taiping Ten Monsters' such as the old duck spirit in the Queen Mother's Yao Pond, which are actually the magic weapons of the Taiping City God and his wings and gods in the past."
"It's hard for ordinary Taoists to use Shinto magic weapons."
"After the White Lotus Sect collects it, it will worship it with a secret method, turn into a spirit, and harm the world. These demons walked in the meantime, giving charms and water, seemingly helping but actually fooling the people. It is rumored that the White Lotus Sect Master may have obtained the City God's Law Seal and is secretly cultivating and stealing the divine throne. Once it is achieved, all the spirits incarnated by these Shinto magic weapons will be subdued, and the scourge will be removed for the people of Fucheng, and it will naturally be able to collect a city of incense. β
Ding Yangzi did not hide it, and told the secret in this Taiping Mansion.
Shinto collapsed.
Demon manifestation.
These Dharma teachings have no gods to help them, and their means are greatly reduced, so that the Tao destroys demons for a long time. Many Dharma teachings even devote themselves to demons in order to seek wealth, power, supernatural powers, and immortality.
The White Lotus Sect is one of them.
The foundation in the Taiping Mansion is particularly deep, and Rao is his victory mountain is also inferior.
"The White Lotus Sect Master has obtained the City God's Law Seal?"
"If it is refined, wouldn't it be a city god, hundreds of years and thousands of years, and a ghost king of Black Mountain?!"
Yu Ningzi was taken aback.
In the past, the ghost king of Montenegro obtained the seal of the god of Daqing Mountain, stole the position of the mountain god, and became the climate. Living in the underworld, turning the green mountains into black mountains, establishing the ghost capital, and being called the ghost king, it has been dominant since then, and it is difficult to shake it.
If the White Lotus Sect Master succeeds again, I'm afraid that this world-
"Exactly."
"But the White Lotus Sect Master is cautious by nature and the most mysterious. It's too hard to find out where he is. Only when he has initially refined the divine position and has not really mastered it will it be exposed, and then it will be good to intervene. β
Ding Yangzi said.
is about to win over Yu Ningzi to settle in the Taiping Mansion, deal with the White Lotus Sect together, and look for the traces of the White Lotus Sect Master.
But at this momentβ
"Huh?"
Ding Yangzi raised his head sharply and looked in the direction of Fucheng in the south.
But I saw a trace of vague fluctuations spread from Taiping Mansion City, slowly but surely gradually enveloping the entire Taiping Mansion.
This fluctuation is extremely unfamiliar.
But after all, Ding Yangzi was profound, familiar with the classics, and was slightly stunned, and suddenly reacted, and exclaimed in surprise for a while: "City God Law Domain?!" β
β¦β¦
The city god is in the right position.
Jurisdiction.
This jurisdiction was originally shallow, and because the incense was thin, it was not stable. Even an old man like Ding Yangzi is difficult to detect.
But more than ten days passed.
With the increase of ghosts and Yin soldiers in the Chenghuang Mansion, and with the return of Lu Guannian and other priests, the Chenghuang Mansion gradually resumed operation.
Heaven has a feeling.
Lower the bounty.
Of course, this is because Chen Jichuan is from an orthodox background and has a position of Zhou Zheng. Combing yin and yang is meritorious, and this is rewarding. If it is replaced by a false god or an evil god who steals the throne, it is a fluke that heaven and earth will not be punished, let alone a reward.
A faint light shrouded the City God's Mansion.
The jurisdiction is solid.
At this moment, a top figure like Ding Yangzi finally noticed.
Katsuyamanaka.
"In the end, he still made it happen!"
Ding Yangzi's face was ugly, but he did not hesitate, and immediately prepared to leave.
Incarnate, rise from the mountain, lead the army, turn into a dog, turn into a gun, seal the mountain, and the gods, wipe the skewers.
Coherent.
Before going out, Ding Yangzi thought about it, and performed another spell, mantrating: "The disciple goes out, the green dragon goes on his back, the disciple comes back, the blue snake belly returns, no one knows the news inside, the ten thousand laws return to the sect with a strong palm, this body is not an extraordinary body, turned into a nameless and surnameless Son of Heaven as the right body, the sky does not dare to care, the earth does not dare to receive, one step into the air, two steps in the clouds, three steps in the clouds, four steps without a trace." β
After reciting the incantation, he hurriedly drew a cross with his foot, stepped on the middle of the cross with his right foot, and then recited: "One crosses in the middle of the cross, and one person is injured when two people meet." β
Finish doing these.
Ding Yangzi led the hounds and led the rampant soldiers down the Shengshan Mountain and went straight to the city of Taipingfu.
Yu Ningzi has been by his side.
Seeing Ding Yangzi's last mantra, his heart also became nervous. This mantra is the Meishan Dharma Teaching's 'Fighting Method Preface'. The two face each other, if the other party is strong, you can use this method to protect yourself.
One of the ten elders of Meishan is so cautious, which shows that this trip is dangerous.
Thought to myself.
Yu Ningzi did not flinch and followed closely.
β¦β¦
Taipingfu City.
City God Temple.
Chen Jichuan is dressed in gorgeous clothes, shrouded in divine light, stepping on the two worlds of yin and yang, and can watch the clouds move in all directions. He saw four lines of soldiers and horses coming from the south, east, west, and north.
Among them, there are Meishan soldiers, Maoshan soldiers, Lushan five battalion soldiers, and Yin Mountain Yin generals.
With a murderous look on one's face.
There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on each side.
"Meishan."
"Yin Mountain."
"Lushan."
"Yin Mountain."
Chen Jichuan saw it at a glance and couldn't help but admire.
The first three of these four factions are called the 'Three Mountains Lineage', and they are the leaders of the righteous path of this world, and the latter Yinshan faction is also the leader under the three mountains.
The reason why they have such status and fame.
In addition to the many masters in the door, it is also closely related to the 'soldiers and horses' that have been passed down from generation to generation.
Ordinary mages refine 'Soldiers and Horses', with a maximum of ten or hundred, and their power is limited. However, the power of these great factions to unite and supplement the sacrifice from generation to generation is strong.
The further back, the more domineering it becomes.
The mage in the door is out of the house, invites the ancestor, and sets aside the soldiers and horses to accompany him, and the power of various spells is not comparable to that of a single practice.
A mage with troops.
A mage who fights alone.
Which is more powerful, needless to say.
"The four factions have a profound background, and they can bring out tens of thousands of soldiers and horses casually, which is much more majestic than my City God Mansion, which has not been reopened for a long time."
Chen Jichuan admired in his heart.
But he didn't panic, but looked forward to it, waiting for the soldiers from all directions to arrive.
By the underworld, the soldiers and horses are fast.
After a short time, the soldiers and horses of the Quartet arrived outside the Taiping Mansion City.
Yin and yang are separated.
But whether it is for Chen Jichuan, who is a city god, or for these top mages, it is difficult to stop.
Due north.
Meishan mage Ding Yangzi was like a god general, holding a gun in one hand, a bow on his back, and a dog in his hand.
His brows were furrowed, and he looked at Chen Jichuan, who was shrouded in divine light, and his heart lifted: "There is no trace of evil law on this person, he is upright, just like an orthodox god who is listed in the immortal book and sealed by heaven and earth, this-"
For a character at the level of Ding Yangzi, whether it is a good god or an evil god can be seen through at a glance.
But because of this, Ding Yangzi was puzzled: "The Shinto has collapsed, and the new gods are difficult to seal, how can there be orthodox gods?" β
Unless it'sβ
"Born gods?"
The deities come from a variety of sources.
Some are celebrity officials who were blessed during their lifetimes, and have spirits after their deaths, and are worshiped by ancestral shrines.
Some are born elves, and naturally combine with the power of mountains, rivers, and water veins to gain authority.
Others are simply mountain spirits and monsters, ghosts and evil spirits, deceiving fools and fools in the countryside, in order to get incense, fire, blood and food offerings.
In general, the sources are strange.
But it must be recognized by either the imperial court, or the priesthood granted by heaven, to be considered orthodox, otherwise it will be regarded as an 'obscene and evil sacrifice', and will be suppressed by the imperial court and the righteous path.
"But the god of the mountain and the god of water may still be born gods, this city god-"
Ding Yangzi was a little confused.
It's not just Ding Yangzi.
The other three mages present were also stunned, not knowing what to do with this new god for a while.
"A few Taoist friends came from afar, why don't you follow Chen into the mansion?"
Chen Jichuan saw that these people had no intention of making a move, so he smiled and said loudly.
Ding Yangzi glanced at the other people, and responded respectfully one by one: "Thank you, Fujun." β
This followed Chen Jichuan into the jurisdiction and into the mansion.
β¦β¦
The crowd took their seats.
Ding Yangzi and others were interested in learning and reported their homes one after another. After a while, Chen Jichuan knew the origin of the identities of these four people.
Meishan sent Ding Yangzi.
Maoshan faction Xuanweizi.
Lushan sent Yuan Chengzi.
Yinshan faction Zhifeizi.
These four great mages are the leaders of the four factions, and they are also the famous mages of the entire Dasui.
Besides.
There are also second-class mages such as Yu Ningzi of the Lushan Sect, who followed the division commander. But his status is a little shorter, and he is not qualified to speak much at this table.
The Lushan faction's magic is domineering and ferocious, and Yuan Chengzi is also anxious, so he couldn't help it after a long while, and arched his hand at Chen Jichuan and asked: "The breath of the prince is pure, and he is an orthodox god, so he thinks he has won the edict." But as far as we know, there has been no orthodox god in this heaven and earth for many years, and the heavens and the earth are cut off, and I don't know the god position of the king-"
The way of God is broken.
It has a great influence on the mages of the Lushan faction.
In the past, the Lushan Sect mages had to perform their duties before leaving the mountain.
Performing the ritual is a process of interacting with the gods, conferring duties, and dispatching troops.
The disciples come from all over the world, some even from overseas, and the festival will invite the city god where these disciples are located, so that the magistrate can come and observe the ceremony, and know what these Lushan monks hold in the Lushan Grand Court, which is called "inviting the city god".
After getting acquainted.
In the future, Master Lushan will be able to ask the city gods and gods from all over the country to help, provide incense, and support the soldiers and horses of Lushan.
And with the collapse of Shinto in this world.
No matter where Master Lushan goes, he must prepare food and grass supplies in advance, which is not only a headache, but also a great restriction on Master Lushan.
Now there is such an orthodox god as Chen Jichuan.
If this is a sign of Shinto's revival, it is great news for the Lushan sect.
Yuan Chengzi is self-interested.
