Good question!

Why didn't the current deity simply leave his predecessor behind and simply go to his post neatly?

The god of iron, the god of flowing water;

The official position of iron, the official of flowing water.

The gods in the national Shinto system are more akin to being officials than gods.

As an official, there are a lot of ways here.

When God too.

Lin Zhengyang is like a lucky person who grabbed the official position by ingenuity, he has limited knowledge of this position, and his previous understanding is only to watch the excitement outside the door, but in fact, he doesn't know anything about the various rules inside.

In this case, how dare he only take office?

Isn't that playing with fire?

When an official is mediocre, what he loses is nothing more than an official position.

When you become a god, you may not only lose your authority.

Lin Zhengyang came to study, but he didn't think that his family finally took the risk to enter this yamen, but he didn't learn anything at all, so he was kicked down.

"I'm here to learn the way of God, not to covet the convenience of this ready-made god, and to ask Zhenjun for guidance."

Lin Zhengyang explained his intention very sincerely.

The young man raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised by this answer.

"For the way of God? What's so hard about that? It's nothing more than being an official with the world. ”

Zhenjun shook his head with a smile and pointed:

"You don't have to ask me about this, in this way, you can walk around the world, just find a few old and sophisticated eunuchs, those tumblers who have experienced the ups and downs of officialdom for decades must be able to satisfy you."

Since the ancestral dragon, most of the gods have been promoted to the Son of Heaven, and the new gods have been enshrined, the old gods have been belittled, and the thunder and rain have been dewed, all of which are Jun's grace.

The national Shinto mechanism has been perfected to the point where almost nine out of nine gods can be treated as gods.

According to their respective merits attendance, or five years, or ten years, accounting, the effective ones are rewarded, the ineffective ones are reprimanded, and the attendance is continuously superior to those who are rewarded, attendance; Those who have been subordinate many times in a row have belittled the gods, and they have been promoted and demoted cumulatively, and all of them are from the central government.

In terms of humanity, the establishment of this Shinto is the great harmony, the great unification, the unification of divine power and imperial power, the Son of Heaven is the god of the world, and the Godhead is located in the upper reaches of the system, only under the heavens, and has the authority to control the promotion and assessment of the mountains, rivers, cities, lands and other places in the world.

For Shinto, this was almost devastating.

Since the perfection of national Shinto, there have been no wild gods, all of them have been promoted from within the system, and even so, they have gradually become scarce.

Today, in fact, Shinto has been completely reduced to a vassal of humanity.

Because of this, people of insight have found other ways out, such as finding new lands, establishing their own kingdoms overseas, and condensing new dragon qi to resist the constraints of dragon qi.

Because of this, another new continent appeared in their field of vision.

New land, new race, new language, new script, new culture, new ······· Shinto system!

The discovery of the New World was made much earlier than everyone imagined.

Imitating the kingdom of the indigenous gods, the high-ranking gods, combined with the local metaphysical atmosphere, established the realm of the gods, in order to accommodate believers to live after death, but also changed their appearance, preached overseas, put on vests to absorb the faith········

Wherever they could, they were never hesitant to invest.

After discovering the New World, he decisively tried another system, borrowing from the Shinto of the indigenous people, and established his own divine domain.

Subsequently, he carried out small-scale overseas immigration in a radical manner, transforming his own foundation and making his essence more pure········

With the last burden abandoned, although it was a bit hasty, to say that there was no long-term planning in advance, Lin Zhengyang did not believe it.

The appearance of Chen Hong is a bit strange in itself········

At the moment, this true monarch is obviously perfunctory when he says this.

Lin Zhengyang simply pointed out his intentions:

"Since I'm here, it means that I don't know anything."

"What you said is of course the right way, but it is the way for the promotion of the gods, even if you do a good job as an official, can you tear the earth and seal the king? Life and death are still dragged into the hands of others! ”

"You know, I'm asking, it's not this Shinto!"

Lin Zhengyang cut the railway, and his words were sonorous and powerful.

"I'm risking this incarnation being assimilated in the hope of getting a glimpse of the true way of immortality!"

"If you just want to have power, I have more other methods, immortality, supernatural powers, divine power, no shortage of one!"

"But—"

"What do I seek after years of practice? Could it be the magic power that you are seeking? ”

"No!"

Lin Zhengyang stood up, waved his long sleeves violently, and shouted:

"That's all incidental!"

"What my generation really wants is nothing more than a free and easy life!"

"What is leisure, what is freedom?"

"In the final analysis, it is nothing more than life and death and fate are up to me, and fortune and fortune are not up to God!"

Lin Zhengyang said coldly:

"If you just want to live forever and gain some magical powers, you put your own wealth and life on the thoughts of others, isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"

"In this world, how can there be a reason for Tai'a to hold on to it!"

When he said this, a burst of golden light burst out of Lin Zhengyang's body, dotted with golden sparks and light chips, floating in the air, like fireworks, which was very beautiful.

The temple fell silent.

As if he was touched, he slowly raised his head, looked out of the hall, and after muttering for a long time, he looked directly into Lin Zhengyang's eyes and asked:

"In that case, what do you want to ask?"

Lin Zhengyang left his seat, folded his hands, and bowed down:

"Please teach me the way of immortals!"

Those who hold the priesthood may not be the gods who enjoy immortality, or they may be immortals who are determined to be detached from themselves, and the path of this kind of immortals is immortals.

It seems to be a god, but it is actually an immortal.

Zhenjun smiled and asked rhetorically:

"How do you know that I know the way of immortals here?"

Naturally, it's because you got out too decisively, the Chen family's big family background, the belief of millions of soldiers and civilians, and the possibility of building a country overseas, except for the heroic souls of those believers in the divine domain, almost nothing else was taken away.

I am familiar with this kind of routine, and at first glance, I feel that I have won the demeanor of people in my generation of immortals.

In troubled times, it is out of the mountains to enter the world to help people, when the world is successful, and the Buddha lives, retreats to the mountains and forests to raise its virtues, along the way and has merit, there is a great line in the world, three thousand merits are full and overflowing, natural and pure, its way is not cultivated, and the positive fruit is not sought········

It is precisely because we don't care about this thing at all, so we don't fight or grab, as long as we don't interfere with the uncle's cultivation and cultivation, what is the love.

Most of the cultivators in the main plane are this temperament, they don't care about Taoist preaching at all, and they are at ease in the cave mansion.

Unfortunately, in recent years, the life of colleagues who live in seclusion in famous mountains and rivers is not easy, and more and more tourists are visiting and looking for places of interest.

Especially a few years ago, there was a fellow Dao in Zhongnan Mountain who crossed the thunder tribulation and was filmed by tourists and posted it on the Internet, and the piece of Zhongnan Mountain was almost turned upside down, but fortunately, there was a site of the Ten Thousand Immortal Array placed in Zhongnan, blocking the entrance to Zhongnan, otherwise the mysterious side would be exposed to the world.

This Zhenjun acts very similarly to the group of thousand-year-old otaku that Lin Zhengyang saw at the beginning, and he is very familiar.

Of course, that can't be said.

"It's just a flash of inspiration, and I think it's rewarding to come here."

That's when it's good to push it to inspiration.

It's very metaphysical, and no one can grasp it.

Sure enough, Zhenjun didn't doubt it, nodded and said:

"Your inspiration is right, I do know the skin of the way of immortals, but this is also the inheritance of a senior cave that I inadvertently obtained, but I made an oath, not allowed, and must not be passed on."

At this point, he paused.

Lin Zhengyang's face was the same, waiting for the following.

Seeing that Lin Zhengyang's Qi cultivation kung fu was not bad, Zhenjun was not disappointed, but continued:

"I have obtained another lineage, which is a book on Shinto practice, but the lower part is missing, but the upper part summarizes the general outline of the path of immortal cultivation, as well as various taboos and thresholds, if you are interested, I can transfer it to you."

"This inheritance is called "Dao Yao Gods and Ghosts and Spirits Only Nine Qualities Sutra"!"

Lin Zhengyang was not disappointed, but just bowed again:

"How can the seniors be willing to transfer this Dao system to me?"

What is mentioned here is the transfer of the Dao lineage, not just the transmission of the Heavenly Book Secret Book.

It is important to know that the inheritance of the Dao system in this world is not only to pass down the secret knowledge, not just a few books, but also to the caves, real estate, magic weapons, and spirit animals where the Dao system is located, and some of the qi that has been continued, merit and chance, and even some human relations in the past.

A Taoist system with a history to be examined often goes back a long time and involves some great powers.

Inheriting the Dao system, you can add some qi, merits, and even some powerful favors out of thin air, these invisible assets are much more precious than just a few heavenly books!

To get such a Taoist inheritance is to inherit all this, and according to the fate in the underworld, it is possible to get some inheritance within this Taoist system in the future, that is, to become the so-called "destined person".

"Don't bother, don't bother, just bother you to accumulate three thousand merits in the world for me!"

Lin Zhengyang suddenly gasped.

Zhenjun smiled, like a fox who had stolen a chicken, cunning and cunning, full of triumph in his calculations.
