Chapter 152: Priesthood, Ritual Weapon (Dazhang Asks for a Monthly Pass!)
Qingyang Prefecture, Riyao Mountain.
In the main hall on the top of the mountain, the calming envoy sits on the cloud bed, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he is meditating.
At this time, he seemed to feel something, and suddenly opened his eyes, just as a streamer flew from the sky, and with a move in his hand, the streamer fell into his palm.
"Li Xiaocao's arraignment? Could it be that something happened to Chentang County?"
Feeling the imprint on the jade talisman of the sound transmission, the calming envoy frowned slightly-Li Xiaocao went to Chentang County instead of Shen Mourning to protect Gu Changan, but now this news is coming, could it be that there is a problem on Gu Changan's side?
Last time, Gu Changan made such a big move, which can be called shaking the whole state.
The entire Qingyang Prefecture was alarmed, and I don't know how many old antiques woke up from the meditation, if there was really an accident...... But fortunately, a powerful person is in charge, and since there has been no news yet, it shouldn't be a big deal.
Besides, if he makes a powerful move, the entire Qingyang Prefecture will be turned upside down, and he is sitting in Riyao Mountain, holding the true shape map of the Five Mountains, and it is impossible not to sense it.
It's just that the only hidden danger is the Huangquan Sect, the trace of the Huangquan Sect was discovered by Gu Changan, although the news was blocked, even within the Hanging Mirror Division, few people knew about it, but I didn't know that the Huangquan Sect had no means to find out, if it was because Gu Changan dug them out, they would definitely go to retaliate!
As soon as he thought of this, a fierce color appeared in the eyes of the soothing envoy.
"These remnants of the Huangquan Sect are all heartbroken...... Fortunately, the encirclement and suppression of the Huangquan Sect has been launched, and it will not be long before it will completely disappear!"
Thinking so, the pacification envoy opened the sound transmission jade talisman and read the information inside.
After a while, the calming envoy couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.
"Clear the stronghold of the Huangquan Sect in Chentang County and kill two grandmasters alone, so that the power of the Huangquan Sect in Chentang County is almost empty?"
"If you want to clean up the evil gods and wild gods, or even make such a suggestion?"
Li Xiaocao also entered the suggestion put forward by Gu Chang'an, and the pacification envoy listened to it, but in an instant, he realized that this method was feasible!
And it's wonderful!
He can become a pacification envoy, not only by cultivation, but also by familiarity with relevant official affairs, but at this time, he couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
After a moment, he suddenly shouted into the void, "Please come and invite all old friends." β
The words fell, and after a while, ripples suddenly appeared in the void, and then, several voices sounded: "Lao Ren is looking for us, what is the matter?"
"Could it be that something big is happening?"
"I'm in retreat, Lao Ren called me out, if there is no big incident, don't blame me for turning my face!"
The voice was ethereal and ethereal, and it sounded faintly.
The pacification envoy didn't care, and said with a smile: "It's not important whether the matter is serious, you can come and see it for yourself." β
As he spoke, he handed the jade talisman in his hand to the rest of the people - although this jade talisman would burn itself if he read it once, it was preserved by some means in the pacification envoy.
At that moment, several people read it one after another, and after a while, they were all surprised.
"This Gu Chang'an...... It's just enough to be able to fight with the grandmaster alone, although the ability to fight is amazing, but after all, it is not so terrifying to be the owner of the divine body. But the three suggestions put forward are really ......."
An old man's voice was tinged with surprise.
Speaking of the back, it seems that I want to describe the shock in my heart, but I don't know how to describe it for a while.
It took a long time before I squeezed out a few words: "It's really to the point!"
"yes!"
The other also took over and said: "The matter of Shinto has always been beyond the control of my Hanging Mirror Division, they have too strong autonomy, although my Hanging Mirror Division is strong, but because of different functions, it only cooperates with Shinto but never controls it, and with this, on the surface, it is to fight against the evil gods and wild gods, but in fact, it handed me a knife to the Hanging Mirror Division!"
"The mystery that has plagued the Hanging Mirror Division for hundreds of years has been solved by this person, and I really don't know what to say. β
"This method should be written to the general office of the Hanging Mirror Division, and it will be promoted in the whole area of Dayan, once completed, my Hanging Mirror Division may be able to open up a new situation!"
"This alone is enough to be worth a million meritorious deeds!"
A few people, you and I said one after another.
And one of them even said: "Why don't we take action and jointly write a book!"
This sentence was agreed by the other two.
In fact, Gu Changan's suggestion is not very difficult, it can even be said to be very simple, but no one has ever thought about it from this aspect before, and now Gu Changan has broken it at a point, and these people present are naturally thinking more because they are standing tall and seeing far.
At this moment, they had already thought of many possibilities.
"Don't rush now. β
At this time, the pacification envoy, who had never spoken, spoke: "Although this method is feasible, it must be effective after all...... You might as well take a look at this Gu Chang'an's actions first, if he is successful, he will naturally be a great achievement, and it will be much easier to promote it to the whole area of Dayan. β
Hearing this, the other three looked at each other, and immediately said, "Good." β
......
Winter is approaching the Spring Festival, and the snow is constantly falling.
In the Qianhu Office of Chentang County, since the plan was discussed, the principals began to check the archives and files, and they did not stop checking for several days, and everyone did not rest, but the captain sent food.
Martial arts are rich and noble, especially at this stage of the main event, in addition to the cultivation materials, there is no shortage of other things outside the body, so the meal is very exquisite, with the delicacies are delivered, the whole hall is full of aroma for a while.
Gu Changan stood at the door, watched the captain bring the meal in, and watched them salute silently before leaving.
According to Gu Changan's method, the law can be found, so the speed is very fast, but in just these days, most of them have been sorted out, and most of them are files with no doubts, and only more than forty are suspicious.
At this time, the snowflakes were still falling, and there was a blanket of silver between heaven and earth, Gu Changan clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention, and said, "It's been a busy day, everyone come to rest and eat!"
All the principals are congenital, and their bodies have their own circulation, and it doesn't matter if they can go without eating for half a month, but after all, they are still greedy for this appetite, so after being reminded by Gu Changan, they all put down the file at hand and came to eat.
The meal was also very silent, everyone was eating silently, trying not to make a sound, and after a while, after eating and drinking, the captain came in silently, withdrew the meal and served tea.
Drinking tea, everyone began to sort out the file again, but Lu Jiang walked over, looked at the scenery outside, snowflakes were falling, the sky was shrouded in dark clouds, looked at it for a while, and suddenly said: "Qianhu, according to our investigation, more than 40 people have been found to be suspicious, what should we do next?"
"Naturally, we have to investigate it first, although according to these three articles, basically as long as these three points are met, it can be confirmed that it is an evil god and wild god, but there are no absolutes in the world, there are always exceptions...... This is the first time we have set foot in Shinto's affairs, and we must do it beautifully, so as not to leave the tail of the hand and let Shinto grasp the handle, which is tantamount to making trouble for the Hanging Mirror Division. β
"So we're going to make it as good as possible and make it a happy outcome!"
Lu Jiang nodded, and asked again: "What Qianhu said is that this is the case...... So what do we do next?"
"After these years of investigation, are there any typical and very suspicious gods?" asked Gu Changan.
Hearing this, Lu Jiang groaned slightly, and said after a while: "There is a ...... This god is called Xiaoqing Niangniang, it is said that it is the mountain god of the purple bamboo forest outside the Chentang River in Fucheng, with a red edict, prosperous for a while, and then gradually weakened, even the temple collapsed, but recently the incense suddenly became vigorous, that is, the matter of the past two or three years, it is said that now thousands of pilgrims and believers go to the incense to pray, and it is quite effective!
"This little young lady was originally the righteous god of the government, but according to your suggestion, it is a decline and prosperity, and it is quite effective, which is in line with the scope of the investigation, which is a typical example. β
Hearing this, Gu Changan immediately said directly: "Little Qing Niangniang, since this is the case, then we will be the first to check on her! This time it is a check, let's go together with the two of us to see if this god is still the right master!"
"Yes!"
Lu Jiang naturally agreed.
At that moment, the two of them braved the heavy snow to go out, and then drove the light and went in the direction of the Xiaoqing Niangniang Temple.
The cultivation of the two of them is congenital, and the speed of controlling the light is extremely fast, and in less than an hour, they have already arrived at the purple bamboo forest by the Chentang River.
Looking from afar, I saw a temple hidden in the bamboo forest, the snowflakes pressed on the bamboo, and the temple was hidden in the bamboo, which contrasted with each other, quite meaningful.
In front of the temple, many pilgrims come and go, the flow of people is endless, and the incense is luxuriant.
Seeing this, Gu Changan and Lu Jiang glanced at each other, and they all found a place where no one landed.
"Qianhu, there are a lot of people coming and going!"
Looking at the smell of incense smoke billowing over the temple, Lu Jiang couldn't help but say out loud.
What he meant by this, Gu Changan understood very well.
He smiled and said, "Just look at it." β
The two joined the flow of people and walked towards the temple.
On the road to the temple, there is a bluestone road built, this way, I saw many believers holding incense in both hands to line up, the face was solemn and respectful, and there were more pious people, three steps and one kneeling and five steps and one knocking came to make a wish and repay.
In front of the main hall, there is a bronze tripod, and most of the incense ash in the tripod is there, and there are people who are constantly inserting big incense on the incense burner.
Gu Changan and Lu Jiang came to the front of the main hall of the temple, looking at this lively and extraordinary atmosphere, their eyes were inexplicable.
Queued up into the main hall, looked up, only to see a curtain hanging behind the incense case, a goddess sat solemnly, the incense rose faintly, lingering three feet above her head, and then disappeared.
Just when Gu Changan and Lu Jiang were watching, they saw an old woman bowing to the statue of the goddess, saying something in her mouth, and after a while, she stood up, took out some copper coins from her arms and put them in the merit box, and then turned around and wanted to leave.
However, he was stopped by Gu Changan: "This old lady, but you are here to make a wish?"
The old woman followed the sound and watched, and saw Gu Changan wearing a dark brocade robe, although he was young but had an extraordinary temperament, while Lu Jiang was older, but he stepped back half a body, like a housekeeper servant, knowing that Gu Changan might be the son of a rich family, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "I'm here to make a wish, I don't know ...... two of you?"
"I heard that the little green lady is effective, so I specially came from the city to ask for a wish, I don't know if the little green lady is really effective?"
"Spirit, of course spirit!"
Speaking of the little green lady, the old woman's face immediately became much more solemn, and she saw that there were pilgrims all around her, and she was afraid of disturbing them, so she took Gu Changan and the two out of the main hall, came to a corner, and said: "The little green lady is spiritual, the old body has been praying to God and worshiping the Buddha for so many years, and she has never seen such a god of wisdom!"
Hearing this, Gu Changan and Lu Jiang glanced at each other.
Lu Jiang asked, "Dare to ask the old lady, I don't know what kind of magic method it is?"
"I'll tell you, my son used to go hunting, fell down the mountain and broke his leg, Lang Zhong said that the leg was not saved, and then I heard that the little green lady was effective, so I came over to make a wish, and drank the talisman water given by the mother, and as a result, my son's leg is gradually getting better, you say this spirit is not spiritual?!"
Speaking of this, the old woman's eyes were full of excitement and gratitude: "Later, I came to repay my vows and said that I would give money for everything, but the temple in the temple said that my family is poor, so I don't need to give money to my mother, my mother is a god, and I don't need money, as long as I am sincere!"
"Since then, I know that this little young lady is really a god, and now my family specially invited the god of Niangniang, and I come to pray for incense every morning and evening, but I still come here every month to see the god of Niangniang with my own eyes, I feel at ease!"
"This is not counting, I heard that Niangniang has other miracles, there are people in the family who can't give birth to children, and there are seriously ill people, but Niangniang only needs a rune water to give, nine times out of ten can solve the problem, now everyone knows that Xiaoqing Niangniang is very effective, and they are willing to believe it!"
Hearing this, Gu Changan and Lu Jiang couldn't help but glance at each other.
This so-called treatment of serious illnesses and leg injuries is not a particularly important elixir among martial artists and even cultivators, and it only takes a few hours of merit to be exchanged in the Hanging Mirror Division.
So in this way, the so-called magic of this little young lady is quite interesting...... Is this the power of the gods, or the power of the elixir?
What's more, the magic is so intensive, what is the little green lady's plan?
Is it really compassionate?
Thinking so in their hearts, the two of them did not show it, but still looked moved and shocked.
Gu Changan was even more surprised and said: "It's so effective, then I also want to hurry up and ask for a stick of incense, and say goodbye to the little green lady!"
"It's to worship, it's to worship!"
Hearing that Gu Changan wanted to offer incense, the old woman smiled and hurriedly said, "You see there is incense in front, it's free and doesn't need money, you just take it yourself!"
"Okay, thank you, old lady!"
Gu Changan and Lu Jiang expressed their gratitude, and then walked over.
Seeing this, the old lady couldn't help but smile and nodded, and then walked towards the outside of the temple step by step.
Gu Chang'an walked to the place where the high incense was placed, and saw the pilgrims and believers here, all of them were extremely religious, far surpassing other temples - secular people have many distracting thoughts, and there are countless desires when making wishes, so although incense is of great use to Shinto, it is not easy to refine it, but the incense here is very pure.
Even if you don't know what these believers think, you can know their piety just by looking at their expressions.
Thinking like this, Gu Changan picked up a stick of incense from the case, and said to Lu Jiang: "Since you are here, don't think about it too much, go to the pillar incense and see the heels of this goddess...... Remember to keep your mind in check!"
Gu Changan knew in the classics that when the incense was applied, the gods would know what he thought, so in order to avoid revealing the horse's feet, he had to collect his mind when he was incense.
Lu Jiang naturally understood this and nodded.
At that moment, the two of them each held a stick of incense, lined up, waited for about half an hour, and then it was their turn, lit the incense, bowed down, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner, and then retreated.
And Lu Jiang naturally did the same.
After the two of them finished the incense, they both stood together, looking at the pilgrims and the goddess behind the curtains.
Because of the curtains, I can't see the goddess's appearance clearly, but this is obviously not a problem for Gu Changan.
As soon as his mind moved, the white Jiaoshen pupil came out, and a circle of white spots appeared in the pupils of his eyes.
Eyes are fixed on the idol.
At this time, I saw that the statue of the god was originally a wooden clay sculpture, lingering with a layer of golden light, which looked grand and magnificent, and in the core area of the statue, there was a talisman, faintly emitting red light, most of which was stained with gold, and there was some kind of rule and rhyme on it.
Quiet, peaceful, peaceful, supportive.
All kinds of positive forces are faintly emergingβthis is the scope of the priesthood of this goddess Chiyi.
The so-called scope of the priesthood is the divine power given by the god when he was enthroned, such as the water god Hebo, who has a quiet and peaceful, peace-guarding, and the ability to mobilize the water and call the wind and rain, and although the mountain god cannot mobilize the water element, he has more earth and the ability to move mountains.
The different priesthoods and the different levels of the gods determined the strength and strength of the gods.
The Red Edict is only the lowest priesthood, and there are also Golden Edicts and Purple Edicts on it.
In this way, when Gu Chang'an was in Guangyang County, the white Jiao he killed was the god of Jin Yizheng, sitting on the 800-mile Jinshui River, with extraordinary power, comparable to martial arts!
But this is only within the waters of the Jinshui River to have such power, out of the Jinshui River, the farther away, the weaker the strength, and when he was besieged before, he was isolated from the Jinshui River, this white Jiao was like a long worm that had lost its claws, and was killed by a group of monks and warriors who were no more than 9 levels taller than the sea of qi.
This was due to the fact that his power had weakened hundreds of years after his suppression, but the restrictions of the priesthood also played a role.
Not to mention, ordinary gods can't leave their fiefdoms, and they will never be able to leave a corner of the place for the rest of their lives - so although Shinto has grown rapidly, and even Jin Yi is comparable to martial arts supernatural powers, and the qi path is condensed, but the warriors and monks are still unwilling to switch to Shinto - this is just the final choice after being forced to do so.
Looking at this goddess, Gu Changan carefully observed for a while, but found that in addition to these righteous and peaceful powers, there were also some strange and complicated things, which seemed to be repulsed from the original Chiyi.
After observing for a while, just when Gu Changan was about to take a closer look, his heart suddenly moved, and he seemed to be faintly aware of it, and hurriedly withdrew Bai Jiao's supernatural power.
And almost at the same time, on the statue of the god, a golden ripple appeared indiscernibly, and then a gaze followed.
This gaze was full of doubts and surprises, and there was a faint sense of unease, and when she glanced at the hall, all she saw were pure pilgrims, which made the goddess even more puzzled - was it a delusion before?
After looking at it carefully for a while, she still couldn't see the slightest abnormality, and the goddess could only retreat her divine thoughts.
Gu Changan did not act rashly, and waited for a while, only to find that the goddess had completely left, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Something is really different!"
Gu Changan said softly.
Lu Jiang was standing next to him, and when he heard this, he couldn't help asking, "Qianhu, there is something wrong with this goddess?"
He said this with some doubts.
In Lu Jiang's opinion, although the incense in the temple in front of him is a little weird, and the believers are too religious, there is no other abnormality except for this.
Therefore, it is a bit too arbitrary to conclude that this little young lady is an evil god based on this.
Even, in his opinion, the breath of this goddess and the temple is very magnificent, with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, just like a normal, enshrined god!
No half-spread pools!
"It's really unusual, but we need to look at it again. β
Gu Changan said in a deep voice.
He didn't say what he had felt before, because it was so weird!
In his opinion, this little young lady's divine position is just a red one, even if it is an evil god, a powerful evil god will not be able to look down on such a small divine position, but who knows, when he felt that breath, the whole person was shocked!
This breath is too powerful!
Although it's only a red edict, it's infinitely close to the golden edict!
No!
In some ways, this red edict already has the power of most of the golden edicts, and when it is all transformed, it can be turned into a golden edict!
Converted to martial arts, it is equivalent to the realm of grandmasters!
"Ordinary Red Spirits, excluding natural and man-made disasters and the fall of the Middle Way, even if the incense has always been vigorous, it will take at least two hundred years to accumulate the power of the Golden Edict - it seems to take a long time, but in fact, compared to many martial artists, it needs to be very fast!"
"And this little young lady is said to have just been enshrined by the imperial court eighty years ago, and there was a decline in the middle, and even the temple statues collapsed...... It is said that it was renovated three years ago!"
"This is equivalent to saying that three years ago, Xiao Qing Niangniang was about to be unable to maintain her godhead, but in just three years, she has grown from a red edict to a golden realm now, this growth speed is too fast!"
"It's so fast, it's shocking!"
Gu Changan said: "Even if this little young lady is not an evil god, she must have a secret...... We don't pay attention to all the secrets, but this is too weird, but we have to check it out!"
Speaking of this, he looked at Lu Jiang and said, "I remember that one hundred and fifty years ago, there was a great power of the Hanging Mirror Division who wanted to interfere in the Divine Dao, so he specially refined a magic weapon and distributed it to various thousand households...... The hidden truth in this is not something we can interfere with, but I said that I still have this magic weapon in the Thousand Households to preserve?"
......
......
