At this moment, above the court.

Under the empress's instructions, the three incense fire cultivators who showed their strength to the ministers urged the Zhong Kui runes in their bodies to once again separate wisps of incense fire divine power and throw them into the phantom behind them.

Under the blessing of this incense divine power.

The phantom of Zhong Kui behind them was condensed for a few points again.

And their actions also attracted the attention of the officials of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, making them look sideways, and they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when they saw the phantom face for the first time!

Zhong Kui's phantom, the hundred officials present are no strangers.

Just a year ago, at the beginning of Gu Changsheng's rise, the "Zhong Kui Ghost Hunting Map" he drew was manifested in various places in the Great Zhou Dynasty on that day, and Zhong Kui's portrait and his face also began on that day, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Now I see Zhong Kui's phantom.

They all reacted.

But after returning to their senses, they had more doubts in their hearts.

This.

"How can this "Zhong Kui Ghost Hunting Picture" gather the power of faith?"

Looking at the shocked gazes of the ministers.

The empress smiled slightly, stroked her palm, and said, "This is the second thing I want to say to Zhong Aiqing today."

"Xuan Gu Qing's family enters the palace!"

As the empress's words fell.

The melodious bell rang again.

The ministers turned their heads to look, but they saw Gu Changsheng dressed in a Confucian robe and Shengxue, looking like a prince of Mo, as in a painting, walking slowly, graceful and outstanding.

At the moment of appearance, all the officials couldn't help but praise in their hearts.

And after the admiration.

Thinking of what the empress said before, they looked at Gu Changsheng's eyes again, and in addition to appreciation, they had more awe that could not be concealed!

There is no shortage of talents.

Genius, Da Zhou has not appeared for nothing.

But according to the empress.

This sage of Zhenguo has not only made many masterpieces, but now even his "Zhong Kui Ghost Hunting Picture" can also gather the power of faith and replace the authority of the gods of the Great Zhou?

The shock of the ministers.

Gu Changsheng naturally saw it in his eyes.

But he was not afraid.

After refining Zhong Kui's Divine Rune, the strength of the Incense Divine Cultivators, the cultivation efficiency, and the upper limit of the future are far beyond the incense cultivators cultivated by the Spiritual Academy Divine Yuan before.

And, compared to the selfish spiritual seminary.

Zhong Kui's divine cultivation is obviously more selfless.

After all.

As long as they do things for the people, especially for the belief that the statue of Zhong Kui can do things for them to catch ghosts and demons.

Then they can gain an increase in their belief in divine power, and they can truly experience the harvest of doing things for the people and slaying demons.

With such a positive drive, their enthusiasm is obviously much greater than that of ordinary incense and fire cultivators.

"Minister Gu Changsheng, I have seen Your Majesty."

Gu Changsheng finished saluting.

The empress looked at Gu Changsheng, and there was boundless surprise in her eyes.

When Xuanyuan Xue took Gu Changsheng into the palace for an audience yesterday, the empress was still worried about those things about the cultivation of incense and fire.

Gu Changsheng's arrival gave the empress the feeling that it was as if a super gift package named Gu Changsheng had been opened in the imperial examination today.

Especially after seeing the strength of the incense fire cultivators, the empress immediately nodded, and agreed to Gu Changsheng's plan to set up the [Patrol God Division].

And the chief officer of the Patrol God Division, the Inspector of the Divine Patrol Division, is naturally responsible for Gu Changsheng.

Today's court meeting is actually to announce the news to hundreds of officials!

The empress and Gu Changsheng briefly explained the situation of Zhong Kui's divine cultivation.

Especially Gu Changsheng, the focus is clear.

"The number of Zhong Kui's runes, as well as the strength of Zhong Kui's divine cultivation, depends on Zhong

What is the promotion effect of "Ghost Hunting Map" among the people?"

Hear this.

Among the officials present, the Ministry of Rites and the Guozijian were all slightly discolored and a little embarrassed.

Especially the old eunuch Zheng Song Wen.

He had also heard about the poor promotion of "Zhong Kui's Ghost Hunting" among the people, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

Now that I think about it, I only feel extremely guilty.

And Shangguan Hong is even more so.

Before, he had wholeheartedly wanted to recruit Gu Changsheng to the Ministry of Rites, but now he didn't have this face at all.

Guilt for these two old people.

Gu Changsheng was quite calm.

This really can't be regarded as Shangguan Hong and Song Wen's fault.

The situation of "Zhong Kui's Ghost Hunting" is quite special.

The previous town-level masterpieces, even the one written by Gu Changsheng earlier, passionately insulted one of the three major academies, and asked the academy's "Ju Song Xing", which was widely sung.

This is inseparable from the promotion and singing of the Guozijian and the Ministry of Rites.

The reason why "Zhong Kui's Ghost Hunting" can't be implemented.

It's not that Shangguan Hong and Song Wen's corpses are vegetarian, but the resistance below, which is too great.

Those local spiritual courtyards will not look at the "Zhong Kui Ghost Hunting Map" that may carve up their interests, appearing in the people.

Gu Changsheng, who rose all the way from Nankang Mansion, knew it very well.

For the local spiritual institute, a very important part of the income is the sale of the spiritual amulet engraved by the spiritual temple to worship the city god.

The effect of the talisman is also strong or weak according to the amount of faith that the city god invests in the seal carving.

Correspondingly, the grade of the spirit rune is naturally different.

The most inferior.

Don't say nine grades, ten grades.

Even the yin devil things that don't enter the product can't stop it, it's really just a psychological effect.

But the price is still not low.

The little silver taels that a common man has accumulated over the course of a year, even if he buys all of them, is only enough to buy a dozen or so.

But how long does a spirit rune last?

It doesn't work in a month or two!

This is the local spiritual monastery, an important means of looting the wealth of the people.

But if "Zhong Kui's Ghost Hunting" is promoted.

A rubbings of "Zhong Kui's Ghost Hunting Map" can directly play the protective effect of the local spiritual courtyard, the second-class or even the first-class city god spirit talisman, and the price is not high, and even the Guozijian and the Ministry of Rites have also funded and called on Confucian scholars to donate.

Volunteer to rub Zhong Kui's ghost hunting map and distribute it to the people.

A picture can last for three years or more.

If it really comes to that point, the spirit runes of the local spiritual courtyard will still be sold?

How can it be!

So.

There must be obstruction from the local spiritual institute.

This is also the fundamental reason why Gu Changsheng asked to set up the [Patrol God Division].

With this name.

Only then did he have the confidence and righteousness to promote Zhong Kui's runes among the people!

"The Patrol God Division, set up the Patrol God Envoy as the main official, the grade is tentatively set at six grades, and it has the left and right patrol god deputy envoys, twenty-four Lang officials, and one hundred and eight patrol god guards, all of which are temporary, and the effect after taking office will be added or deleted as appropriate."

"There are three duties of the Inspector Division!"

"One is to track down the lawlessness of the local gods!"

"The second is to track down the lawlessness of the local gods!"

"The third is to support the righteousness of local Shinto!"
