Chapter 325: Yin Zheng (I)
There are some traces of ghosts and gods on the third layer of the underworld.
Speaking of reality, many people think that the underworld is unified, but in fact, at this time, the underworld has not completely improved the system, and it is not easy to have the current pattern of basically having a system after many years of chaos.
Some ghosts and gods who are not very fragrant in the world have a very low power in the underworld, so they often cannot live in the blessed land, and can only stay in some intermediate areas of the underworld, but the temple itself will produce a palace.
The light here is even darker than above, and palaces where ghosts and gods live often have light.
There was a bright light to guide the way, and Tong Xuan directly saw the ghosts and gods here, these ghosts and spirits were much brighter than ordinary souls, flashing a foot or a meter of red light, and most of them were dimmer than the ghosts and gods accompanying him.
Relying only on the light flame on Tong Xuan's own body, some ghosts and gods in the vicinity were forced to come out to salute, looking at the ghosts and gods who were sincerely afraid of approaching, Tong Xuan was a little emotional.
People in the world think that ghosts and gods enjoy wealth and bliss, but they don't know that different ghosts and gods are very different.
These ghosts and gods in front of them, because the incense is not abundant, their cultivation is stagnant, not to mention how good they are, even maintaining the ghosts and gods in front of them is barely enough.
These are also related to the large number of ghosts and gods, and the sparse population of the world after years of war.
"Emissary, they're just weak ghosts and gods......" Seeing Tongxuan stopping, the accompanying ghosts and gods said.
Tongxuan knew that it was not a trivial matter to meet Wang Zunzhi and ask him to help him count the ghosts and gods, and he came down to explore the situation of the underworld, and the time was tight and he couldn't stay here longer, so he said: "Let's go!"
So he continued to move forward, and after arriving at an area, there were more powerful ghosts and gods, and after scanning them, they all flashed red, and there were several light flames of five meters, dark red and transparent, red and black, as if blood was intertwined together.
Tong Xuan wanted to find the ghosts and gods here to ask about the situation, and the accompanying ghosts and gods smiled awkwardly: "Messenger, your current strength is not enough to summon them. ”
It is no longer enough to make the ghosts and gods here fearful with their own might, the ghosts and gods are such a reality, looking at the deserted and empty ground in front of him, Tong Xuan couldn't help but sneer a few times.
Tong Xuan didn't say much, guiding the light flame on his body, and suddenly the bright yellow light flame on the spirit body was magnificent, and there was some kind of information in it, which was very majestic and terrifying, and spread out.
Tong Xuan is only a cultivator, but he is a messenger sent by the emperor to check on him, and the deterrent power shown by this identity is even impossible for the high-ranking ghosts and gods here to resist.
It was just a moment, and I saw that the ghosts and gods within a hundred miles around them all came quickly, and more than a dozen people came.
Tong Xuan glanced at them and found that the power of these ghosts and gods was stronger than the one he had seen before, but weaker than he had originally thought.
It seems that the ghosts and gods who truly enjoy the many incense may not appear in the underworld in this area.
And with Tong Xuan's exploration, the ghosts and gods farther away did not come here.
Tong Xuan asked, "What are the ghosts and gods of you?"
These ghosts and gods replied, "We are all ghosts and gods offered by the people, some incense, some temples. ”
Not much to say, Tong Xuan listened, and the expression on his face was a little dignified.
"Messy!"
This is how he feels, the number of large and small ghosts and gods in the underworld is really difficult to count, and among these ghosts and gods, some of them have god names in the upper world to be worshiped by chance, and some can only rely on their own cultivation in the underworld below.
Due to the great changes in the world, some ghosts and gods in the underworld below have also been affected, and now these ghosts and gods have been damaged and fallen into a deep sleep.
Tong Xuan frowned and listened, his face remained unchanged, and the ghosts and gods knew that this envoy was a little dissatisfied with the situation in the underworld.
"The ghosts and gods in the vicinity, are they all like this?" Tong Xuan looked at the ghosts and gods accompanying him.
The ghosts and gods didn't dare to hide it, and said respectfully: "Messenger, the situation here in the underworld is very chaotic, although it is stronger than before, many orders have not yet been restored, and there are still some ghosts and gods in the troubled world who have not counted ......"
"Where is the Emperor?" Thinking of this, Tong Xuan asked.
The ghost god said directly: "The emperor unifies the world, the tripod is stable, the emperor has received the title of emperor, established an official system, and gathered a lot of old ministries and ghosts and gods. ”
Tongxuan secretly envied, with such descendants as Jinshang, not only the ancestors of the Wang family enjoy sacrifices, but the father of today's birth can also have this creation underground, and truly respond to that sentence, one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.
"Go on, I'm about to meet the Emperor. Tong Xuan said.
The ghost replied: "The emperor's palace has been built, and I came here on the emperor's orders, you go down with me, and you can see the emperor's palace." ”
Tong Xuan responded and repelled these ghosts and gods, and they continued to move forward, and then entered another area, and there were more ghosts and gods in it.
And there are towns that look like the world, and many ghosts and gods have incense in the world, and Tongxuan has a general check on this situation.
Time is limited, I can't stay down for a long time, I look at it for a while, and then continue to move forward.
The ghost god said, "Messenger, the emperor has sent a carriage to pick you up." ”
As soon as the ghost's words fell, a luxury carriage came silently from a distance and stopped in front of Tongxuan, there was no ghost in front of this carriage, but as the ghost and god sat on it, the driver was there.
Tong Xuan was not polite, he immediately got into the carriage, and after the curtain was lowered, the carriage moved, and sitting in the car, he felt that the carriage was moving fast, but it was windless and very quiet.
The carriage did not shake, and closed his eyes in the carriage, and when the carriage stopped, he opened his eyes.
"Messenger, the Emperor's Palace has arrived, please get off the bus. The voice of the ghost sounded outside, and when Tongxuan got out of the car, there was a sudden burst of pleasant music.
I saw that the golden light was shining here, like a sunny world, and the palace stretched for hundreds of miles, and a team of ghosts and gods came to greet them.
At the head were officials in official robes, followed by musicians, who surrounded Tong Xuan and walked towards the palace, which was more gorgeous and magnificent than any palace Tong Xuan had ever seen in the Yang world, and looked beautiful under the light of the gods.
The palace gate was wide open, and in the midst of the music, Tongxuan was welcomed in.
The emperor did not come out to greet him in person, and the two were very different in status, even if Tongxuan was the messenger of the Yangshi Emperor, he could not be treated by the emperor in person.
After entering the palace, Tongxuan soon met the emperor.
This is a large hall, and a wine banquet is set up in the main hall.
There are many ghosts and gods here, all of whom are official robes.
In fact, many low-level ghosts and gods, knowing that the people of the Yang world are superstitious about official clothes, often change official clothes to fill their identities, and deceive awe and incense, especially some fox fairies and snake spirits.
In fact, the official robes do not have much effect, the most important thing is the light and flame displayed on their bodies, which directly shows their power and cannot be faked.
Due to the success of the Dacheng Dynasty, many old departments have been canonized, so in this hall, all the light flames are about five meters, showing majesty.
There are also girls with red light coming in and out, there are marble-like bodies on the ground, and the palace is golden and magnificent, which is like a fairy palace.
The emperor on the throne was wearing a crown robe, but at this time, the law pattern disappeared, the white face and phoenix eyes, and the face was somewhat similar to that of Emperor Dacheng, but he had a long beard, a fifty-meter light flame on his body, and some red in the gold, which was not completely transformed.
Tong Xuan stepped forward and bowed.
Seeing Tong Xuan, the emperor was very happy and inquired about the situation of Yang Shi.
Tong Xuan knew the identity of this person, so he answered them one by one. The Emperor listened carefully, with a smile on his face, and said, "I know, I will send ghosts and gods to help count the ghosts and gods on the ground, and distinguish the righteous and silver rituals." ”
In fact, for it, this is also a way to strengthen power and existence, showing that the Wang family now holds the authority of the world, which can be said to be a win-win situation.
After finishing speaking, the emperor invited Tong Xuan to sit at the table and drink with them, Tong Xuan couldn't refuse, and thanked him for taking the table, but because the living people were not suitable for eating Yin Si food, a little bit of it was used, and he took his leave.
Tongxuan got up from the quiet room, at this time, it was nearly evening, the sky continued to rain lightly, the drizzle in the twilight, the servants were putting on the lights, and someone was preparing dinner, Tongxuan was walking, and suddenly the sound of the piano drifted with the wind, this is the mansion of the partition, there is a girl singing with the sound of the piano.
It is known that this is the mansion of a six-pin Jingguan, with his family, this is his young lady.
Tong Xuan listened to the sound of the piano and listened while walking in the corridor, but when he saw his housekeeper coming, he asked, "Is there something?"
The butler asked, "My lord, when is dinner going to be?"
The drizzle fell on his face, and the cool silk was very cool, and then the sound of the piano stopped, and Tong Xuan was still immersed in it, walking, paused and said, "Half an hour, I still have something to think about." ”
"Yes, sir!" replied the butler, and went back to command.
Tongxuan walked slowly, but he was also comfortable and pure, and sighed in his heart, this is the taste of wealth.
But in the blink of an eye, I went back to business.
The policy of the imperial court and the crackdown on the silver temple are first of all related to the elimination of the old bad government and the implementation of the new policy, and the transformation of the part of the people that is contrary to the new court ritual system.
This is an empty statement, but in fact it is concrete: "If you don't follow the doctrine, you will lose the etiquette and law."
Of course, the most important thing is the blood sacrifice and incurability, the edict: "Kill people to sacrifice ghosts, do not seek medical treatment for illness, strictly investigate, and officials dare to hide and do not report, and punish them." ”
In other words, the custom of killing people and sacrificing to the gods, as well as relying on the gods instead of medical treatment, should be strictly eliminated.
The second is the belief in the ancestral gods that may endanger the rule of the local or imperial court, especially the belief groups with weapons, and the edict says: "Those who carry guns and flags in the shrine shall be strictly subject to the jurisdiction of the bell, and if they violate, the leader shall be imprisoned for two years, and the rest shall be 100 rods each." ”
These silver rituals to be struck, according to the different surnames, the degree of the blow is also different, the disposal of the killing and sacrificing to the gods is very clear, the temple is demolished, and the participants are executed.
The fight against the silver ritual not only relies on the government and the imperial court, but also uses ghosts and gods, and the fight against the silver ritual is often accompanied by the establishment of the main ritual, Tong Xuan is now actually one of the highest people in addition to Su'er, and they all rely on him to carry out the specific work, so he thinks about these repeatedly to understand the meaning of the emperor and the court.
Thinking silently, I felt that it was gradually clear, and Tongxuan gradually had a charter in his heart, and he knew what to do.
