==================================

"Niubi, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm having a hard time now!"

Wang Chenghuang put on a bitter gourd face, and in front of Guanghan and Chen Jianchen, there was a bit of a complaint.

Guanghan Daoren waved his hand: "Don't come to this set, what the hell is going on, say it quickly, if you don't say it, I'll leave." Having said that, the gesture of stuffing a banana into his mouth vigorously, no one else believed that he would go anyway.

Wang Chenghuang coughed dryly: "I can't hide it, I invited you here for the sake of incense." ”

Chen Jianchen was stunned for a moment, a little confused, and glanced at Guang Han - incense?

Guang Han's expression was not unusual, he still ate his banana, as if he hadn't heard this sentence at all, he didn't say that Chen Jianchen would not be a bird, it was better to continue to eat grapes.

Wang Chenghuang suddenly jumped up, pointed at Guanghan and scolded: "Niubi, what kind of attitude do you have, do you still have a conscience!"

Guang Han smiled: "Old ghost, your set doesn't work." I don't need incense, what are you doing with me?"

Chen Jianchen looked funny, and he couldn't figure out what relationship they had before, anyway, he just watched the play and didn't say a word.

Wang Chenghuang was emotional, and said with spit flying: "Niu Nose, don't force me, you force me to be in a hurry, I can do anything." ”

Guang Han looked at him in surprise: "What are you going to do?"

"It's a big deal that Lao Tzu quit and gave up the position of Chenghuang to Liuxian. ”

Wang Chenghuang is not shocking, and he is endless.

Chen Jianchen was so surprised that he swallowed a large grape that had just been in his mouth, and almost choked - what was going on, how could he go around to himself as he spoke.

He is not a stupid person, he received Wang Chenghuang's Yin Yang Warm Jade, and when he was invited, he knew that things would not be simple. On the premise of not figuring out the situation, he is silent and will not express his opinion easily. But now that Wang Chenghuang actually said that he would give him the position of Chenghuang, the trend of things is a bit weird.

Yin Si is the world of the dead man's ghost, which is simply equivalent to another time and space. This time and space are the same as those in the yang world, the same hierarchy is clear, the class is clear, and the position of the city god is almost equivalent to that of Zhizhou, which can be regarded as a feudal official, and it is very important. Now Wang Chenghuang actually said that he would give way to Chen Jianchen, what are you kidding?

Guang Han's face sank when he heard this: "You said you could let it?"

Wang Chenghuang snorted and said: "I can let Liuxian go to the Chenghuang test first, with his talent, isn't it easy to capture?"

Guang Han laughed suddenly, and changed the topic: "I think of the situation when you took the Chenghuang exam in the past, when the exam was one person and two people, whether you had a heart or not." ”

Wang Chenghuang did not answer.

Guang Han continued: "You answered on the spot that you have the intention to be good, although the good is not rewarded, and if you have no intention to be evil, although the evil is not punished, it is a wonderful sentence, no wonder you can pass the test in one fell swoop." ”

Speaking of the glorious history of the past, Wang Chenghuang proudly stroked three strands of beard.

Guang Han suddenly changed the topic: "But if this question is answered by Liuxian, I'm afraid it won't be the same." He turned his face to look at Chen Jianchen and asked, "Do you have an answer to stay in the immortals?"

Over there, Wang Chenghuang also looked at Chen Jianchen's face, with some urgency.

Chen Jianchen groaned slightly, opened his mouth and said: "Don't take the good as small, don't take the evil as small." ”

This sentence is very different from Wang Chenghuang's obvious point of view-

"If you have a heart for good, you will not be rewarded for good, and if you have no heart for evil, you will not punish for evil." ”

The implication of this is that if a person does a good deed with his heart, no matter how many things he does, there should be no reward, and no one should be punished for the sinful mistakes that one has committed unintentionally, no matter how severe. ...,

This kind of proposition has its own mysteries, and only pays attention to the original motives.

But Chen Jianchen quoted the answer: "Don't take the good as small, don't take the evil as small." "The main idea is to focus on the result, whether it is intentional or unintentional, and it does not pay attention to these, but to the nature of the matter. If it is a good thing, even if it is done in a utilitarian way, it is a good person; if it is a bad thing, even if it is committed unintentionally, you still have to bear the consequences, for example, if you kill someone by mistake, even if you are unintentional, but killing is a crime, and the necessary punishment is inevitable.

This argument should be one of the basic viewpoints of governing the world.

Guang Han said with a smile: "Old ghost, in your opinion, the answer of Liuxian may be able to pass the Chenghuang test?"

Wang Chenghuang said in a loud voice: "The main examiner is the judge, how do I know." But his expression went down, his heart was bright, Chen Jianchen had the spirit of a scholar, and he couldn't be a city god at all.

Chen Jianchen asked, "What the hell is going on?" felt that Guang Han and Wang Chenghuang were both deified, and they almost confused him.

Guang Han said with a smile: "A certain city god has recently had a big decrease in his followers, and he can't collect enough incense, so he is about to break the jar. I want to find a scapegoat, so I hit the idea on you. ”

Chen Jianchen was surprised, thinking: Do you want me to be me?

- He really didn't have much interest in being this city god.

Wang Chenghuang rolled his eyes: "Don't reverse black and white with a bull's nose, what is a scapegoat, how many people want to break their heads and rush to be a city god." ”

He was telling the truth, in the Yin Division, the power of the city god is not small, a typical fat difference. If you really want him to let him, maybe he will be reluctant.

Chen Jianchen said in a deep voice: "Wang Chenghuang, let's get down to business. Otherwise, if the Taoist chief doesn't leave, Xiaosheng will have to say goodbye and go back. ”

Wang Chenghuang stretched out his hand: "The main thing is to ask you to help." ”

"Help you collect the incense, but I don't even know what the incense is. ”

Wang Chenghuang said: "The matter has come to this point, I will confess to you......" At that moment, 1510 said a summary of the matter.

After listening, Chen Jianchen clarified the true meaning and function of the noun concept of "incense".

The so-called "incense" refers to the things used by the people to worship the gods in the yang world, but in the yin division, it is an invisible mental power - incense spiritual power.

Nian means faith and belief.

When the people worship God, are pious and respectful, have no two hearts, and make wishes, they will produce a kind of mental power, which is called "incense mental power". The name of incense is hung, but it does not mean that the more real incense is burned, the stronger the mind, but that the belief of the worshippers is pure and pure, so that it can be produced.

As the saying goes, "the Buddha fights for a stick of incense", and fighting for it is the meaning of believers.

The importance and significance of this incense fire power in the yin division is equivalent to the aura of the yang world. Cultivators swallow aura to improve their cultivation, while yin spirits need to absorb mental power to level up. In contrast, it seems that Chen Jianchen's righteousness is unique, and he needs to cut down evil and benefit.

In the Tiantong Dynasty, Yin Si was founded for many eternal years, and the days have been very nourishing. Things changed when the Buddha came to the west.

Without it, because the method of cultivation of the Buddha family also needs to absorb the spiritual power of incense, and it is necessary to use the mental power to build a golden body.

In this way, the two sides are destined to become mortal enemies.

By extension, the Tiantong Dynasty has always been reluctant to see the Shi family, and there may be many Yin Si's hands and feet interfering. This is a very normal thing, who wants to grab a job from outside?

To put it bluntly, this is a battle for resources.

Unexpectedly, since last year, Emperor Zhengming's decree has changed greatly, and the Dharma has been propagated in a large way, and a grand Dharma propagation conference has been launched in the eighteen state capitals, and the monks have been invited to chant the scriptures and preach the Dharma, which has won the support of many believers in a short period of time.

In various places, all kinds of temples dedicated to Arhat Bodhisattvas have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and hundreds of people go to kneel and worship every day, donate incense money, and offer incense to the mind. ...,

In contrast, the forces on the side of Yin Si are retreating one after another, let's say Jiangzhou City, since the establishment of the Chongyang Temple, the incense of the Chenghuang Temple has been declining, and it has disappeared by four or five percent.

This situation is in line with the old saying: "Foreign monks are good at chanting", but the local gods are not powerful.

There are many reasons for this situation: on the one hand, the performance of the local forces of Yin Si is not satisfactory, and those land and mountain gods and the like often resort to many despicable means in order to plunder the incense, and over time, they will lose the support of the people; on the other hand, the Shijia family has a complete range of scriptures, and its writings are self-contained, and the theoretical level is very high. Speaking of the scriptures, and then using the thunder sound spell, it is simply a lotus flower, and the sky is so wild, the stubborn stones will nod, not to mention the common people?

In the past, Chen Jianchen had no personal experience of the Dharma promotion conference in Jiangzhou, but he heard Wang Fu say that after reciting a scripture, those people were in high spirits and shouted to convert to Buddhism.

Very fanatical.

At that time, fortunately, Wang Fu listened to one more and felt that his head hurt, so he didn't participate again, otherwise if he participated in two more games, he was afraid that he would also be overcome.

This shows the influence of the Buddha.

Originally, Taoism was a great force against the westward invasion of the Shi family. The problem is that the Taoists emphasize being carefree and have no direct conflict of interest with the Buddhas, so they do not make any major means of confrontation, and most Taoists still practice behind closed doors and do not care about the world.

At that moment, the people all went to the Buddha temple to worship the Buddha and burn incense, and their faith and mind naturally followed. In the eyes of Yin Si, it is simply snatching meat in his own bowl to eat, and a lot of meat has been snatched away, where can he still hold it? Immediately issued an urgent order, asking the city gods in all parts of the country to work hard to fight for the incense again, and if they can't complete the task, they will be punished according to the law.

Wang Chenghuang felt the heavy pressure from above, and he had no countermeasures, so he invited Guanghan and Chen Jianchen, hoping that they could help.

After sorting out the ins and outs, Chen Jianchen was thoughtful, but there were still many questions that had not been answered, combined with the knowledge and memory of the previous life, if it really overlapped, so to speak, could it be that the Yin Si was established by the powerful person of the Shi family? Therefore, there are too many similarities between each other's cultivation methods, and terms such as the king of Yama are all translated from Sanskrit of the Shi family.

Or it can be understood that the first Shi family came to the west and built the Yin Division, and later for some reason the Shi family forces withdrew from Middle-earth, and the Yin Division left behind operated and developed independently, and derived other variables, with the passage of time, the heads of the Yin Division no longer wanted to be controlled by the Shi family, and wanted to be independent and become a family of their own......

However, these are his personal speculations, and it is difficult to confirm them at this time. After all, many legends and myths have long been distorted because of their age. The so-called truth is mostly just a scripture that catches the wind and shadows...... οΌ‰
