Chapter 338: Taking a Risk

"Oh no. Although Hu Wanshan had some thoughts about the Lin sisters, he had no choice but to restrain himself when he met Leng Ruxin, who regarded himself as chivalrous.

"I also know that there is a way to steal, how can it hurt the good and innocent? I mean look at the carriage and horses outside the door, it must be a rich family. The brothers have been short of money recently, and they want to ask him for two silver coins to spend. ”

"I can leave it alone. Leng Ruxin's lips pursed slightly, and he said coldly: "But this ill-gotten gain, those who see it have a share." ”

"Done. When the Hu brothers get their hands on it, there will be a generous gift. ”

Hu Wanshan was not surprised when he heard him say this, although Leng Ruxin was young, he was a master who ate people and did not spit out bones, and he put his words in the light, which made people feel at ease.

Hu Wanshan used words to stabilize Leng Ruxin, and said with a vigorous spirit: "Boss, which guest officer belongs to the carriage and horses outside, Hu wants to discuss friendship with him." ”

Lin Shu's eyes wandered, and he said quietly: "That's the wealthy and powerful Master Hua of Huayin County, I think the guest officer is a foreigner, I'm afraid that I won't have any friendship with him." ”

Lang Xing jumped up, touched the scar on his face, approached Lin Shu and said ill-intentionedly: "Once born and twice cooked, don't you know each other when you sit together and have a drink?...... Boss, I don't think your shopkeeper is a capable person, how close and intimate we should be when we take the time?"

"You?" Lin Shu glanced at him and sneered: "I am a married woman, and it is difficult to be independent. It doesn't matter what you're saying here, but if my brother listens to it, then you can see it?"

"Do you still have a brother?" asked Lang Xing in surprise.

"He's - now upstairs and playing with Master Hua. ”

Lin Shu smiled secretly in his heart, Ming Qin was so confused that she was playing tricks just now, this time she will return the favor to him in another way, and make some trouble for him.

"Fourth, don't gossip. Follow me upstairs. ”

Hu Wanshan's ears and eyes are sharp, and where there is a living atmosphere, most of them can observe ** and not leave ten. At that moment, he called a few brothers, grabbed a cloth bag and rushed upstairs.

Lin Shu went downstairs for something, as if a play was missing the protagonist, Hua Shanjun and Ming Qin's interest was greatly reduced, and they froze there for a while. Hua Shanjun lost face. Since he refused to retreat, he had to wait for Lin Shu to come back and continue to fight.

Who knew that Lin Shu didn't wait, but waited for five angry men.

Hetahan was the first to slam open the door, and the five brothers rushed into the room. Hu Wanshan carried the cloth bag and said with a smile: "Master Hua, the Black Mountain thief is polite." ”

Hua Shanjun's subordinates also had several people, and they changed color one by one to protect him in the middle, and exclaimed: "You are bold, do you know who this master is?"

Hua Shanjun waved his hand to silence everyone. He said slightly: "I don't know a few people, I don't know what to learn?"

The Montenegrin brothers looked at each other and smiled, and the goatee said in a hoarse voice: "Master Hua, what else can we thieves have to learn? ”

"Wait. Ming Qin suddenly shouted, "Several, I have a good word to advise." This old man is a big man you can't afford to mess with, so while he's still in a good mood, let's slip away with his tail between his legs. If you make him angry, beware of the burning of jade. ”

Lang Xing snorted and scolded angrily: "Where are you a wild boy?" Dare to humbly intimidate our Montenegrin brothers. The names of the brothers were also earned with a knife and a shot. Even if he is a prince and general, he will not be able to help us. ”

"Does Hua Shanjun know?" Ming Qin broke the identity of Master Hua and took the opportunity to weigh the catties and taels of the Black Mountain thief. "This is the Three Realms Earth, Huayue is the god. Even Erlang God's own sister, the Three Holy Mother, is under Huashan, not to mention a few of you little thieves. Are you scared?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the five people really changed greatly, but the name had already been reported, even if Hua Shanjun was spared, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not settle the account after the autumn.

Hu Wanshan and Goatee exchanged glances, gritted their teeth and said, "If you don't do it, you won't do it." Although Hua Shanjun is the god of Huayue. But he is a Confucian appointed by the heavenly court, and he does not necessarily have any advanced cultivation. The five brothers are working together, what are you afraid of him?"

"Yes, it's done. "The five brothers were outlaws. It's not like something you haven't done without taking risks.

"Except for Hua Shanjun, no one can be let go. ”

Hu Wanshan gave an order, and suddenly opened his big mouth and let out a sky-shattering tiger roar.

It is like a tiger roaring in the mountains, roaring in the forest, and there is a helpless Hu Congjing who is frightened, and the body is like a sieve of chaff. Sore.

............

Speaking of the celebrities of the heavenly court, there are quite a few similarities with the personnel of the mortal world.

When the Three Emperors and Five Emperors were mostly a collection of some tribes, they went to the world of Xia Yu's descendants, experienced Shang, Zhou divided the princes, and Shiqing ruled. The Qin Dynasty was unified and did not fall yet. However, the pattern of county division has continued. Because the patriarchal Shiqing has been in ruins in the Warring States, in the world of great unification, except for the emperor, there is no official position that can be hereditary from father to son. Therefore, there is no unbreakable, fixed class.

The Western Han Dynasty first implemented the inspection system, and with the corruption of the bureaucracy to the Han Dynasty, the inspection system was destroyed again, and Cao Wei implemented the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, barely maintaining a channel for selecting officials, and then formed a situation in which the family controlled the power. It was not until the Sui Dynasty was reunified and the conditions for the implementation of the imperial examination system were met that all strata of society had the opportunity to participate in political power.

Personnel changes are always evolving with the social situation, and the same is true of the immortal division. When Huangtian Hongjun first founded the Divine Court, which of the four elephants and eight gods was not the Pangu bloodline and the descendants of Nuwa. It's like the tribal age of mankind.

Emperor Jun defeated Xingtian, won the throne of the god king, and divided many princes, so many ancient countries in the Book of Mountains and Seas are said to be the descendants of Emperor Jun. After that, the Emperor of the Earth, the ancestor of the Dragon Minister, Xuanwu, attacked Pixiu, and mixed one of the four spirits, and Emperor Jun lost the earth realm and the netherworld, and moved the divine court to the heavenly realm.

Later, the human race prospered, experienced three emperors and five emperors, and sages were produced. The dragon clan and the demon clan avoided the taboo very deeply, and with the acquiescence of Emperor Jun, they caused harm to the flood and attacked the human race. Relying on Tang Yao, Da Shun, Dayi, and Dayu, the heroes of the dragon and demon clans were defeated and lost, and the top ten golden crows fell one after another, and Emperor Jun abdicated in a hurry.

At this time, the Yuan Shi Tianzun and the Tongtian Sect Master founded and expounded and intercepted the two religions, and they were divided into courts. After the unification of the ancestral dragon and the mixing of tens of millions of years, about ten of the bloodlines have become mixed and impure, and in this way, they have become a demon clan with mixed good and bad.

By the time of the Shang Dynasty, the power of the sect had reached its peak, and even Taishi Wen Zhong was the third generation of disciples of the Tongtian Sect Master. And the king is the reincarnation of the prince of the Golden Crow, who is greedy and tyrannical, and has the assistance of the demon queen Daji, and the situation of the human race is precarious. Once again, an existential stake has come.

King Wen of Zhou deduced the innate gossip of Emperor Fuxi, and received the help of the exposition of the relatives and clans, and received the edict of the Phoenix Dan to take over the heroes. There are two thirds of the world, which laid the foundation of the logger in one fell swoop.

In the first battle of the gods, many loyal ministers and brave generals or Taoists who were immortal were removed from the priesthood, and there were three hundred and sixty-five people in the eight departments.

The impact of this canonization of gods cannot be underestimated, and many of the priests are still prominent figures in the Heavenly Court. And there are several issues that deserve special attention.

First, this time the gods are all gods, and the gods and immortals in later generations are also called, in fact, gods and immortals are the same, and there are more differences. In terms of status, gods may be lower than immortals, but gods directly control the heavenly court, and their influence may be greater than that of immortals.

Secondly, although there is a difference between loyal and brave generals and Taoists, most of the former are human beings who do not know magic. Most of the latter are sectarian disciples who have achieved qi refining.

The soul also has a certain lifespan, as short as decades, as long as two or three hundred years, in this way, the first part is easy to die after dozens of hundreds of years due to the exhaustion of the soul, such as Huang Feihu was named the Emperor of Dongyue, for thousands of years, the position of the Emperor of Dongyue has changed five or six people, and the status of Li Tianwang and Nezha is as stable as Mount Tai.

The Eight Divine Generals and such sectarian Qi Refiners in the Heavens and Stars are everywhere, and one is the other. It is self-evident which faction is more powerful in the Heavenly Court.

There are gods and immortals in the heavenly court, just like there are four people in the mortal world, such as scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants. It was even far beyond the expectations of the saints of the three religions.

According to legend, the three religions discussed the list of gods, Taishang Laojun and Yuan Shi Tianzun are all favored by the human race, so many sectarian disciples are on the list, they are all saints with high morality, the reason for this design, it can be seen that the fairy way is better than the divine way is a certain thing. Nothing should have gone wrong.

But there doesn't seem to be a system that will last a lifetime. Like the four people, each holding a business, the scholars are well-read and reasonable, and there should not be a big problem in being an official, but once this position is profitable, it will inevitably fall into the mud and sand, and it is only a technical problem if it is not easy to select, and the terrible thing is that the people's hearts are broken and the traitors are in power. If there is no distinction between right and wrong in an era, justice is unclear, and there is no difference between who is in that position, can this still be the responsibility of the predecessors and the bad culture of the people?

Taishang Laojun obviously also found that the results of the gods were a little different from expectations, and then taught the four heavenly masters and founded Taoism, hoping to provide a steady stream of immortal talents to the heavenly court.

But there are many people who have become immortals, and they are not necessarily much more clever than Shinto. There are many kinds of immortals, which can be divided into heaven, earth, gods, people, and ghosts according to the terrain. According to status, it can also be divided into true immortals and scattered immortals.

If you want to talk about the difference between immortals and gods simply. About one needs to cultivate on one's own, and one is dedicated to the incense of the world. From the point of view of the glyph, the word god is indicated, and it is related to sacrifice. The simplified character of immortals, who are in the deep mountains, seems to be more in line with cultivation. The body is 僊, which has the meaning of migration. This name probably came from the Imperial Migration Divine Court.

It was originally called the Divine Court, located on Kunlun Mountain, that is, the Sumeru Mountain that the Buddha said, high on the top, enjoying the worship of the world. Unfortunately, migrating to the heavenly realm, it is inevitable that there will be some desolation of being uprooted from home. However, in a place like the Heavenly Realm, the aura is really better than the Earth Realm, and the Immortal Family is blessed by misfortune and gradually operates Jiuyao, creating a new situation. It was a bonus.

After Taishang Laojun became the ancestor of Taoism, he first instructed Zhang Tianshi to establish Taoism, and secondly, he had the meaning of promoting the human race. Between the Qin and Han dynasties, there were hundreds of immortals who were included in the classics, and in this way, it was probably possible to balance the ratio of humans and demons in the heavenly court.

And many loyal ministers and filial sons in the mortal world who do not know magic have good deeds to be recorded after death, they can be included in the Shinto, and be a small immortal official such as a mountain god and land under the rule of the heavenly court.

The Three Realms are so big, where there are no high mountains and low lands, the so-called 'under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers'. This sentence is used to describe the rule of the heavenly court, which is no more accurate, and these places need to be governed by a priesthood.

Since the mountain god praised his father for materialization, Liang's father Shanbo failed to take revenge, and the mountain god has been in decline in the divine court. Legend has it that Kua's father also had a daughter named Kua'e, and Kua'e's two sons were strong men who once helped Yugong move mountains. But now the Heavenly Court is more inclined to the imperial examination system, and it is very taboo against the eight gods who have the Pangu bloodline, and the representative figures are the Qinghua Emperor and the Erlang Zhenjun brothers.

Qinghua Emperor Yang Zhu, who was also Taiyi Rescue Tianzun, inherited the title of his adoptive father, the prince of Dong. The two are also the nephews of the Jade Emperor, even so, the Jade Emperor still cut the six emperors into four emperors, one to make himself above the four emperors, and the other to abandon Yang Zhuping outside the four emperors.

If the Jade Emperor wants to abdicate and make way for Xian, there is no doubt that the four emperors are all strong contenders, and with such a change, the hope of Emperor Qinghua's succession is too slim.

At first glance, it seems that Yang Jian is dissatisfied with the Jade Emperor, which essentially means that no matter what the situation, Yang Jian cannot lead his troops directly to the South Heavenly Gate, otherwise he will be guilty of chaos.

It can be seen that the Jade Emperor does not trust their brother at all.

The Eight Great Protoss knew what they meant, so they acted very low-key. Even the legends about them have become messy, almost to the point of being forgotten. Although there are scales and half-claws in books such as Xingtian and Kuafu, such as the Classic of Mountains and Seas and Huainanzi, they are all headless and tailless, unless they are studious and think deeply and know their meaning, who can know that they are the ancient gods who have been prominent for a while.

This is indeed inferior to the main god of Olympus, who defected to the West.

After so many vicissitudes of life in the Three Realms, when it comes to Huashanjun, of course, it is impossible to have anything to do with the ancient gods of Kuafu.

And the general priesthood gives orders based on the prestige of the heavenly court, rather than personal practice. Many priests enjoy the incense of the world, and after tens or hundreds of years, their souls are weakened, and they are allowed to be Zhishi, which is no different from being an official in the mortal world.

How many officials in the mortal world do not cultivate virtue, one can imagine how many priests in the heavenly court have who do not cultivate.

This is the Black Mountain thieves who dare to take risks and seek capital for a while, these thieves are not ordinary human beings, they are all spirits who have been cultivated in the mountains and forests for hundreds of years. If Hua Shanjun is in his hands, he may be able to make the mountain god for a few years.

There is generally a routine assessment for officials, and as long as there is an official seal, it may not be possible to verify the identity. The cycle of the mortal world is generally three years, and the heavenly court may be longer.

Most of the servants around Hua Shanjun are relatives and friends when they were alive, and the so-called 'one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven'. This is a very common thing in both the yin and yang worlds. There are also those who have been promoted from the Yin Spirit, and there are not many who know how to cultivate.

Hu Wanshan looked up to the sky and roared like this, it was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and the bluffing people were cold all over their bodies, trembling in both streams, and their faces were like earth. (To be continued.) )
