Chapter 102: Temple Fair

The next day, a small mansion next to the Houfu in Jixian County was cleaned and officially put into use.

The government was given the General's Mansion by Qiantai, which was prepared for the God of the City God. The official position of the city god Yan Du in the Hou Mansion was also Qiantai, and the city god was the 'demon general' under the rule of the Hou Mansion, and he mainly grasped the evil and ghostly things.

The woman Bixia also moved into the general's mansion and was named the general's mansion by Qiantai. At the same time, this woman was also turned into a temple blessing by Qiantai's doppelganger Yan Du, the head of all temple blessings.

On the same day, Wufang also sent someone to send some supplies to this woman to help her stay in the General's Mansion. A few days later, under the flawless initiative to make friends, the two women became sisters. Even, Wufang often took the initiative to take Bixia to accompany the old lady, and she was not angry at all.

The woman's mind is incomprehensible, but for the flawless behavior that can not bring trouble to herself, it still makes Qiantai very happy in his heart.

Qiantai also ordered that the Chenghuang Temple under his rule in the future should be managed by the General's Mansion, and finally ordered that the General's Mansion should be allowed to preside over the construction of the temple to spread believers.

But Qiantai ordered the temple to be built as the 'Difu Temple', no longer the previous City God Temple.

At first, the believers in the north did not know how the 'Difu Temple' was different from the previous Chenghuang Temple, and they began to be suspicious and confused about the belief in Houfu's intervention.

It wasn't until a few days later that a small large temple was built in place of the ruins of the Taoist temple in the former county.

On the day of the opening of the temple, the big households in the county were asked by the waiting government to come to watch the ceremony and offer incense. At the same time, many believers and common people gathered outside the temple.

In order to ensure the liveliness of the temple fair, the Hou government also promised that on the day of the temple fair, all merchants who do small business transactions at the temple fair will be exempted from Japanese business tax and city entry tax.

Therefore, on the day of the temple fair, it can be said that the merchants gather, the people are congested, and the temple fair is as lively as the spring and autumn seasons.

Liu Boxi, the Zhongcheng of Jixian Houfu, personally led the officials to come to worship, and the officials and the people sacrificed together, which established the status of the temple in one fell swoop.

Afterwards, the believers went to the temple to pray. When the believers of Jixian County entered, they found that there were originally two temples in the temple. In the front yard is a Netherworld Emperor Yama Hall, which enshrines a Netherworld Emperor named Yama. The backyard is the palace of the emperor of Yandu, which is dedicated to the god of the city god Yandu.

So some believers asked the temple which god the Netherworld Emperor in the front yard was.

The temple in the temple respectfully pointed to the inscription in front of the Netherworld Emperor's hall and explained: "The Netherworld Emperor is the boss of the Emperor of Yandu and the lord of the Netherworld. The power of God is engraved on the stele, and these inscriptions are all passed down by the emperor of Yandu. ”

The inscription describes that in the bottomless abyss of the earth, on the edge of the cliff of the sky, there is a dark place called the Netherworld. There is only a huge ancient peach tree in the netherworld, which supports the whole world, and the hole in the peach tree is the passage of reincarnation for the reincarnation of the deceased. Under this incomparably large peach tree, there is a person who guards the reincarnation passage, and this person is the Emperor of the Yama Capital City God. There is also a Netherworld Dragon wrapped around the tree, and the Heaven and Earth have been sleeping on the tree since the birth of the Heaven and Earth, and is the Lord of the Yin Division generated by the Heaven and Earth, the Netherworld Emperor.

After the death of the living soul, if the soul of the dead is not ignorant and turbid until it dissipates, it needs to be approved by the emperor, and the Emperor of Yandu, who is in charge of the reincarnation channel, will send the yin to the world of yin, so that the soul can turn into ghosts and continue to live in the netherworld.

Moreover, living beings in the netherworld after death are also subject to the management of the Netherworld Emperor, and even the Emperor of Yandu must obey the Emperor's orders.

In the temple fair, only a brand new imaginary god was added, and it was difficult to see Qiantai's intentions. But those temple blessings often say some things that must be publicized by Qiantai's orders, and you can see Qiantai's thoughts from them.

Moreover, these temple celebrations always say to the believers: "Do you know why Emperor Yan Du, the Lord of the City God, wants to be a demon general in this Jixian General's Mansion? Because legend has it that this Jixian Hou is born extraordinary, and it is likely to be a reincarnation of Emperor Yama in the world. ”

(This is very mysterious, but the legend of where it came from is unknown.) Anyway, what Qiantai wants is just a cause for righteousness, and the foolish people believe in this the most. )

These temple blessings will also spread: "Jixian County has the ability to govern the people in the yang world, and at night, the soul will return to the netherworld and manage the ghosts of the netherworld." ”

One more rumor, not too much.

But Qiantai built an additional statue of a god in the temple that seemed to reflect himself and those rumors, but it completely solved the contradiction between the upper and lower positions of Qiantai and the clone Yandu's forces.

A large temple has determined the distinction between Qiantai and the doppelganger Yandu and the dignity of status among the believers of the world, and also saved the contradiction that divine power and royal power are always competing with each other.

Not only that, the reason why Qiantai held a temple fair on the day of the opening of the Difu Temple and the temple fair was also to get more faith and the faith of the people.

Qiantai drew on the experience of the 'Lord God of Death' about the Western Exotic Divine Church gathering the power of faith.

In the memory of the 'Lord God of Death', in order to draw on the power of the faith of believers, the Holy See in a foreign land would gather believers together every seven days to praise the God of Faith, which was called the 'Church'.

Qiantai was very disdainful of this, because although these "churches" could receive a lot of faith power, they took up "one-seventh" of the productive time of the believer's life, reduced the time for the believer to create a life, and slowly made the believer develop the habit of laziness every seven days off. However, Qiantai also thought of a similar, better way to absorb the power of faith, that is, the 'temple fair' that has existed since ancient times in the past and present lives.

There is a "church" in the West, but there is also a "temple fair" in the East!

What other rituals can draw more on the power of faith in this temple fair?

Every time there is a good day in Li, the temple fair is held, and the people of Li, dignitaries and nobles will gather together. And there are large-scale sacrifices and crowded believers offering incense, some asking for peace, some asking for marriage, and some seeking promotion and children.

In short, every time there is a temple fair, all the believers in the surrounding territory will sincerely worship the gods and put a pillar of high incense.

And most people are excited during the temple fair, and the atmosphere of faith is also the easiest to spread.

Moreover, what Qiantai values is that every temple fair will bring about the prosperity of the handicrafts and petty bourgeois merchants of the nearby people, which can greatly increase the flow of materials under his rule, make the people prosperous, and let the believers enjoy a better life.

For example, the temple fair of the 'Difu Temple' was consecrated and incensed, which made the city lively for a few days, and Qiantai and the doppelganger Yan Du got a lot of faith power.

These powers of faith were all infused into the 'Peach Tree Law Phase' by Qiantai to support the rapid formation of the Yin Si world. The doppelganger put away the divine power and turned it into divine power, deducing and comprehending the law of reincarnation.

During the temple fair, Qiantai also revealed a trace of the phantom of the Netherworld world to the sky above the Netherworld Emperor Hall to reveal miracles, so that the believers could believe in the newly appeared idol of their own deity. After the temple fair, the subordinates of Qiantai Houfu were no longer hostile to the temple.

Miaozhu in Youzhou also gradually regarded the General's Mansion as the center of the Chenghuang faith in the Northland. And all temple blessings need to be re-issued by the government in the General's Palace, which is controlled by the government, and they must also believe in the 'Netherworld Emperor Yama' to spread the emperor's faith. Otherwise, these temples will not be able to borrow the divine power from the doppelgangers, and they will no longer be recognized by the god of the city god and the waiting house, and will be expelled from the country.

At the beginning of May, as the relationship between the belief system in the county and the imperial power of the Houfu was properly resolved, the General's Mansion also began to issue an order that all the temples should be led by Bixia to allow the spread of faith in the county, and that they would have the responsibility of collecting demons and catching ghosts, and driving away diseases and saving people for the believers.

In Jixian County, Miaozhu also began to sacrifice to protect the field, and the crops of the believers under the rule grew, and the wind and rain were smooth. These temple blessings have made the security of Jixian County better, and the land cultivation ordered by Qiantai has also benefited.

In the past few days, Qiantai has also learned the news of the 'Mud Plough Garden' inquiry. For example, Yin Ling has now left Bingzhou, and is suspected of returning to his master's 'School Palace'. The eldest grandson Wujian is also living well in the family of the county magistrate, and Qiantai also learned that the eldest grandson Sheng has no children under his knees, so he is very fond of the lost daughter of the eldest grandson Wujian.

The fact that the 'Mud Plough Court' had just been established and that he could get this information made Qiantai begin to re-value Qianzhige's ability. Coupled with the appearance and luck of the past, Qiantai knows that Qianzhige is a loyal person, so he also trusts Qianzhige.

From then on, Qiantai asked the 'Mud Plough Court' led by Qianzhige to continue to explore the news of the Qian, as well as collect the details of the four major families of Zhuo County.

Qiantai felt that he could start preparing to take over Zhuojun, and now that Qiantai's strength was stable, he could be prepared.
