Chapter 421: Magical Craft

After touring the Taoist temple, Fang Yan returned to the original hall.

Different from the quiet and elegant backyard, the main hall of the main hall is extraordinarily magnificent, and people can't help but feel small as soon as they enter, and they will unconsciously have a trace of awe of the statue standing in the center of the main hall.

But don't underestimate this first impression, the beginning of faith comes from the awe of things beyond one's understanding.

For example, those evil gods use negative emotions such as fear and fear in people's hearts to collect faith.

Even in a way, this method of the evil gods is more efficient than the way of spreading the faith of the righteous gods.

After all, it's easy to forget gratitude, but it's hard to forget fear.

The statue in the center of the main hall looks somewhat similar to the appearance of the dialect at first glance, but the specific demeanor is very different, and it is a little more majestic than the dialect itself.

The archetypal source of this god statue is the dialect clone that is still presiding over the affairs of the Senluo world at the moment. That is, the so-called "Senluo Immortal Emperor" used in the dialect to fool the people in this world before.

Emperor Senluo naturally does not exist in reality, but the collection of the power of faith requires a subject to be used to place people's beliefs. Otherwise, the power of faith will naturally dissipate between heaven and earth, just like all the emotions and thoughts that people exude in their daily lives, and cannot be captured.

However, in order not to make the people of this world suspicious, Fang Yan deliberately applied several spiritual witchcraft on this statue, which magnified the majesty of the idol and aroused awe in people's hearts, but also deliberately blurred the appearance of the idol in their eyes, so that it would not associate the idol with the dialect deity.

The specific effect is probably like the Muggle banishment spell in the wizarding world.

Not to mention, this practice of dialects is really done right by mistake!

"To the man without self, the god without merit, the saint without the name" is a sentence in the "Zhuangzi Wandering", this sentence together with its previous sentence, originally meant to refer to a state of life, but when taken out separately and placed here to connect with the vision of the god statue, it is unexpectedly harmonious, and has another way of interpretation.

Some of the people who had come to pay homage to the statue were amazed when they left the main hall and found that they could not recall what the statue looked like. At the same time, there is a kind of naturalness.

In their opinion, this is the attitude that immortals should have, and how can they, "ordinary people", be qualified to look at the face of heaven.

Even if it's just a statue!

As a result, while becoming more and more aweful and pious to the "Senluo Immortal Emperor", these people also became more respectful of the "Yiyan National Teacher" in the world.

This was a surprise to the dialect.

With the identity of a national teacher, dialects have a foundation in this world. And because the Taoist palace of Suzaku Mountain was recognized by the emperor, it also had the right to legally preach in the secular world.

In fact, when the little emperor and others saw this Vermilion Bird Dao Palace for the first time, they were really surprised.

Whether it is the royal family or those dignitaries, in fact, they are not strangers to Suzaku Mountain, and the original Xuanyuan Guan incense can be so vigorous, which is indispensable for the contributions of these people.

It's just that after the turmoil at the beginning of the year, not only did Xuanyuan Guan become a taboo term, but even Suzaku Mountain, where its base camp was located, appeared less and less frequently in people's mouths.

Everyone didn't expect that Suzaku Mountain, which they thought would be completely deserted, would actually get the green eyes of the immortals. Even before everyone knew it, the immortals had built such a large and magnificent complex on this mountain.

It's just a miracle!

Everyone was amazed in their hearts, and they were completely convinced of the national teacher's methods.

No one would have thought that such a huge piece of architecture could have been built by mortal humans.

In everyone's cognition, even if the whole country of the Great Song Dynasty wants to build such a building complex on the mountain, it is estimated that it will take more than ten or twenty years.

And this Vermilion Bird Mountain was still the station of Xuanyuan Temple half a year ago. The fire that burned the entire Xuanyuan Temple to ruins, many of the people present witnessed it with their own eyes, and they still haven't forgotten it.

When a centralized government agency is fully operational, even in ancient times when the level of production was extremely backward, the efficiency that ordinary people could exert was completely unimaginable.

After gaining the approval and full support of the royal family and the courtiers, the project of collecting faith in the dialect became extremely smooth.

Especially when the name of Emperor Senluo Immortal began to be included in the first-class sacrificial status like Huangtian and Houtu with the official documents of the imperial court, the power of faith obtained by dialects was almost doubling rapidly every day.

And the Daomen, which should have been the biggest obstacle in the missionary process, also suppressed all the actions because of the "big pie" thrown by the dialect at the beginning. Even in order to leave a good impression in front of the national teacher, the Taoist sects in some places also took the initiative to help preach, and more than once sent disciples to preach the merits and greatness of the "Senluo Immortal Emperor" in front of the believers.

Even if it was actually themselves, they didn't quite understand the origin of this "Senluo Immortal Emperor".

Anyway, as long as the national teacher can be happy.

I have to say that the shock that the previous dialect gave to these Taoist priests was really too impressive. As a result, they have already believed in their hearts that dialects must be immortals.

And the tongues did not disappoint these people. In order to continue to expand his influence, he even performed more shocking spells in front of a group of Taoist priests and emperor's courtiers, such as "turning soil into mud", "condensing water into rain", and "turning dead trees into forests" in front of everyone.

Although the changes in the laws of the world have affected the effects of many spells, the most basic natural elements, this world is not much different from other worlds. Therefore, although it took a little effort, the effect that the dialect wanted to achieve was finally completed.

Although it has almost exhausted all the elemental energy that the dialect has accumulated since coming to this world, this effect is also very effective.

Of course, Fang Yan also knows that whether it is the Taoist family or the royal family, most of the reasons why they can support their mission so much lie in the "big pie" they threw at the beginning. Among them, for Daomen, it is naturally to become an immortal, and in the face of the royal family, dialects give different bait, that is, "become a god after death".

As for why people in the royal family can't become immortals, the explanation given by Fang Yan when negotiating with the royal family is that because people in the royal family have dragon qi to protect themselves during their lifetime, they conflict with the immortal way. Therefore, you can enjoy the prosperity of the world, but you can't live forever.

Although this answer made the little emperor and those royal clan elders a little disappointed, since Fang Yan, the "immortal" in their eyes, said so, it was naturally impossible to force it. Fortunately, the dialect gave them another surprise later, that is, "to become a god after death".

Contrary to modern beliefs, the ancients were very sympathetic to the phrase "death is not the end". They firmly believe that under the earth there is an underworld Yama, a yellow spring netherworld, and reincarnation.

And the dialect naturally knows that in such a small world, there will be no reincarnation system, and only those higher worlds with complete rules will have reincarnation.

But he obviously couldn't just say to the little emperor and those sect elders directly, "You actually have nothing after you die, and your soul will only slowly dissipate between heaven and earth", and even he deliberately catered to these people's ideas and made a big cake of "becoming a god after death".

Enjoy the wealth of the world during his lifetime, and continue to be a god in the fairy court after his death!

Such a result is undoubtedly very much in line with the thoughts of most people in the royal family. As a result, the royal family is more and more satisfied with the view of the "immortal" of dialects, and their support for dialect preaching has also increased.

As for the Daomen, in order to prove that what he said at the beginning was not a lie, the dialect was specially reserved for the Daomen thirty disciples who entered the Vermilion Bird Dao Palace. The other twenty were given to the Song royal family and those prestigious families. The total is fifty places.

Of course, the few places in the royal family are only used to fill the number and play some symbolic roles, indicating the new appointment of the Great Song Dynasty royal family to the national teacher. And the quota only means that these disciples have the qualifications to enter the Dao Palace, and whether they can get the real "immortal law" teaching depends on the dialect's own considerations.

Even the dialect made it clear to those Dao Sect people in person, these disciples who entered the Vermilion Bird Dao Palace may all be taught by the Immortal Law, but there may also be none of them who are qualified, I hope they can think about it clearly.

And the Taoist priests barely reacted to Fang Yan's admonition, which seemed to them to be right.

Even a layman may need seventy or eighty years to inspect an apprentice!

What's more, I want to cultivate immortals!

The Taoist priests said that it didn't matter, and they and others had already prepared in their hearts.

As for whether they really think so in their hearts, it is unknown.

Dialects naturally don't care about this, although the claim of selecting the Dao is false, but if there are really talents suitable for cultivation, dialects will not be stingy with giving cultivation methods.

Don't forget, in the eastern country of the Harry Potter world, dialects have obtained a lot of cultivation exercises that belong to the Taoist one-line divine soul system.

Although he did not know how to practice dialects, he had carefully studied the contents. It is just right to use people from this world to do experiments and observe the differences between different systems in the process of cultivation. Maybe you can also touch the bypass and add a little bit of foundation to your knowledge system.
