17. Coexistence of Man and God (Happy National Day)
The structure of the county seat of Jixian County has been divided into the "Yin and Yang Realm" and the "Spirit Realm" three-layer structure, so a large number of forbidden laws have been set up, ghosts, gods, demons and spirits, etc., without a pass token, they cannot fly in the air, even Huang Tian, who sits on the top of the lark.
I don't know which god designed this three-story structure first, and then almost all the city gods painted the scoop according to the gourd, and followed suit, dividing the entire county into three parts.
It is easy to say that in the most superficial and outermost layer, that is, in the world, where the living live, the county town god generally only sends the gods out to inspect at night, and there is no supernatural during the day, it is a world of living people, and the county government and county order maintain law and order.
The second layer is the spiritual realm. Or it is called the "Shinto Spiritual Realm", which is benchmarked against the cave heaven blessed land of the Immortal Dao, with the Chenghuang Mansion as the core, the grid is differentiated, and the four city walls of the county town are used as the pillars, supporting the space between the two worlds of yin and yang, at the middle level.
The spiritual realm of Ji County is planned to be similar to that of Yangjian, and it is also divided into four urban districts, several streets, and a whole piece divided by the street is called a fang, each with its own role and function.
Generally, you can find the node of the spiritual realm from the yang world to enter it, this kind of node, called the "portal", is generally controlled by the door god, and there are some weak points, where it has not been maintained, every year there will be mortals, walking alone in a small alley, hitting a wall or a pillar, and then accidentally breaking into the spiritual realm.
The spiritual realm is generally a place where gods, spirits, ancestral spirits, or practitioners live and live.
There is aura provided here, there is no kind of red dust and turbidity in the yang world, and you can also enjoy all kinds of mortal services, such as various restaurants and taverns, the green building opened by the fox spirit, and the gambling house set up by the god of wealth, which is a stable and peaceful place.
It is a Shinto concept of "immortals and mortals living together, and people and ghosts co-govern", and it is also respected by the Chenghuang gods.
However, the housing prices in the spiritual realm are ridiculously expensive, and the prices are also high, only those who have a small net worth can buy a house in the spiritual realm and live and work in peace and contentment.
And at the bottom, the bottom is the Yin and Ghost Realm, where the ghosts live, opposite to the projection of the Yang World, and the land of all dreams, so to speak, directly in the underworld, but there is a county seat called Ji County in the underworld.
Generally, after the death of a registered person, he is first collected by the land, and after raising a certain amount, he is taken to the Chenghuang Mansion, and then the Chenghuang preliminarily judges the good and evil, and those who commit the crime of "unforgiveness" will be sent to the underworld, reviewed by the judge, and then thrown into hell to suffer and be punished.
The other souls, whose lives are mediocre, have no merit and no fault, and have not been reincarnated in the underworld, still live in the underworld, and when the yin life is exhausted, they die of old age in the underworld, and then turn into the source of innate spiritual light, and automatically reincarnate.
That is to say, if a person in the yang world dies and is buried in the earth, and the yin deed is ordered, there will be a yin house, and a tablet will be set up at home, and incense will be sacrificed at four o'clock, so that if you die, it can be said that it is still no different from being alive.
But if there is no incense sacrifice, it will be miserable, in the underworld is still a lonely ghost and a wild ghost, can only do odd jobs for other ghosts, do coolies, tenant farmers or something, in order to barely starve and freeze, until the yin life is consumed, it can be said that the misery is almost no less than the punishment of hell, it is another kind of ninety-nine-six blessings.
And when it is the turn of reincarnation, it is also enough to save a certain amount, escorted by the god of the underworld, to reincarnation, and take the normal Nai He Bridge, Meng Po Tang procedure.
If Bo has merit and good name, it is possible to be elected as an official and a god, of course, it also depends on my own wishes, many people have no experience in being an official, so they will choose to vote directly for a good fetus and enjoy glory and wealth.
This kind of selection and selection is the origin of most of the grassroots cadres such as land.
For example, Mrs. Li, who is more familiar with Huang Tian, became the land of Qingxuan Village in this way.
After becoming a land, there is generally a term of office, 50 years, 100 years, after the end of the term, the comprehensive evaluation is, up and down, up, up, up,
The comprehensive evaluation is, upper-middle, middle-lower, may be level, or to a poorer and more remote territory, or can choose to reincarnate, although the god is mediocre, but there is no merit and hard work, generally the next life has a good start, at least a lifetime of worry-free food and clothing.
If you are judged to be higher, lower, and lower, and your sins are greater than your own merits, you will have to receive sins and be punished, not only will you not be able to make land, but you will also go to hell and suffer all kinds of punishments.
And if you have practiced before your death, have a certain amount of cultivation, and there are people covering it, worshipping into the master's door is equivalent to outlining the kind of death, and after death, you have the chance to turn into a ghost cultivator, Yin Master, you can become a "supernumerary" of the underworld, or the city god, that is, the so-called contract worker, or there may be disciples of the sect incense sacrifice, become a "sect so-and-so ancestor", and then live in the spiritual realm of the sect and continue to practice.
Although it is a category of ghosts and immortals, there is also a further possibility, after surviving the Yin Wind Tribulation, Yang Fire Tribulation, Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, and the three tribulations, you can turn from Yin to Yang, from death to rebirth, and condense the body with the pure spirit of heaven and earth, which is the flow of the Immortals.
Of course, ghosts and immortals can also collect authority, become ghosts and gods, and can even open up wasteland in the underworld, occupy a mountain in a wilderness, recruit lonely souls and wild ghosts, open up cities, establish their own princes, and then accept the edict of the underworld, you can become a ghost king, and it is the kind that is officially recognized.
Or there is someone who is a faithful believer in a great god (at least the yang god) who recites the name of the god before he dies and believes that he will be redeemed by the god.
Such a devout believer will go to the place of the underworld or the city god by the messenger of the deity, and lead him to the place of the god opened up by the god, and enjoy the bliss of the kingdom of God, and of course continue to worship and believe in this god with devotion there.
And Huang Tian wants to take the exam, so naturally he will not take the exam in the Chenghuang Temple in the yang world, where the incense is flourishing, and there are mortals who worship the faith at any time.
The examination room was set up in the City God's Mansion in the Spirit Realm, so Huang Tian had to enter the Spirit Realm first.
Fortunately, there is a node at the gate of the city gate to enter the spiritual realm, and it is also the largest node.
The two door gods who control the node portal are the city gate gods, and the city gate gods are the heads of all the door gods in the entire county.
He belongs to the general who guards the city and controls the portal of the Three Realms, which is the general of the golden lock and the general of the jade lock.
The two generals led a group of soldiers and horses to defend the city, standing like a sculpture, especially loyal, don't look like a security guard, standing at the door, in fact, it is a god general of the eighth grade, and it is also a martial god.
A few soldiers guarding the city were checking the spirits, hairy gods, or ghosts and the like who entered and exited the city gate, only to see Huang Tian's four-inch carrot dreaded, not as high as his ankle, so he didn't care, stopped Huang Tian, and told Huang Tian to swagger in.
After entering the city gate, you can see some fantasy places that are different from the Yangshi city.
