"Although this Puming Mountain is not high, and its spiritual power is far inferior to that of the Immortal Mountain Blessed Land, it is better than the pure aura. Therefore, when decorating the Taoist temple, I focused on keeping the spiritual power of this place pure. Do you think there is anything that needs to be added?"
After walking around the Taoist temple, Qian Zhiwen asked Milo for his opinion.
Milo didn't have high requirements for Pumingshan's vitality and intelligence.
After all, the vitality and spiritual intelligence in the outside world are so strong that they are bound to be inferior to his practice in Miaoyou Sect.
On the contrary, it is pure vitality and spiritual intelligence, which is more suitable for Milo to practice the "Yuhua Tianqing Qi-eating Method".
Therefore, he thought for a while and said: "There is nothing wrong with the overall layout. It's just a sacrifice here. Where do you plan to choose the sacred place? Also, where do you think it is better to enshrine the remnant soul I brought back from the Taixu Illusion Realm?" ?”
"Speaking of remnant souls, the two ghosts you brought back from Taixu Illusion should also be able to accept incense offerings."
Hearing this, Milo nodded and said, "I haven't tried it yet and I'm not sure, but it should be possible."
"In that case, how about enshrining it in the empty seats on the left and right sides of the Demon-Suppressing Hall as a companion sacrifice to the Demon-Suppressing Lord?"
"Although the main deity enshrined in the Demon-Suppressing Hall of Taoist temples has always been the Demon-Suppressing Lord, and the auxiliary gods are the protecting gods of various families. However, these auxiliary gods either received jade seals from the people, or received edicts or edicts."
"As for the two ghosts I got from the Taixu Illusion Realm, although they have the ability to roam around to attract and seduce souls, they can theoretically protect Lu'an County at night and prevent spirits from causing trouble. They can be regarded as protectors. But the two of them, There is no edict, edict, or jade seal, so it is better not to erect a statue of the god, but to enshrine the spiritual tablet in the corner of the mountain gate."
Qian Zhiwen said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist has thought well, but he is not too worried. There are still a few places in the county that can be canonized as ninth-grade ghosts and gods. You can exchange them with your merits. With your current family background, you can exchange two It is not difficult to achieve a ninth-level divine position."
"Sir, please don't try to trick me. Let's not talk about the amount of merit required to become a ninth-grade god. I don't know if my two ghosts can maintain the stability of the party. What's the use of inviting the god early? It's just... I’m just looking for embarrassment for myself ten years later. It’s better to worship him with a spiritual tablet first. If there is any miraculous effect in the future, it won’t be too late to ask for canonization.”
Hearing this, Yun'an smiled and cursed: "If there is a miraculous effect, the people will worship it. At that time, ghost messengers will have their own jade seals, so why bother asking for canonization?"
"Yun'an, what you said is wrong. Although the Jade-Sealed God is recognized by the six sense organs, it is not orthodox after all. If Shinto wants to go further, it still needs formal canonization." Milo retorted with a smile. Yun'an's statement.
The edicts, edicts and jade seals he mentioned one after another are all ways of canonizing the three gods in Hanxia.
In today's Hanxia, all important powers in heaven and earth already have lords, so Shinto monks are very rare.
Most of the gods are concurrently held by immortal monks, or canonized by heroic souls, and are somewhat similar to officials in nature.
The level of canonized gods is divided into nine levels and eighteen levels from top to bottom. The canonization methods generally include six types: imperial edict, imperial edict, zhi, edict, edict and jade.
Among them, imperial edict means to announce widely, and it is the highest level method of canonizing gods. Only when the emperor touches the heaven and earth, informs the world, and personally canonizes a first-class god, can he be called a god. It's called an imperial edict.
Once the canonization is successful, the corresponding god must be a great god with authority to influence the entire land of Hanxia.
Secondly, a title has a certain warning meaning. Apart from personal canonization by the emperor, only the official document on the conferment of gods signed by the six officials can be called a title. It corresponds to the second and third grade gods, and its scope of influence involves at least several states. The largest single product is general, affecting the entire land of Hanxia.
Thirdly, enfeoffment refers to the canonization relying on the system. It is generally used to canonize local gods in the state. Most of them are recommended by local officials. After the assessment by the Spring Official, one of the six officials, they are directly issued. Most of the gods are in the sixth to fourth grade. .
The ensuing imperial conferment is also the most common and the most ancient method of canonization. It can be a formal canonization document issued by a spring official, a plaque presented by a local official in worship, or a conferment issued by some great gods, with the scope of influence ranging from one county to several prefectures. During this period, the span of divine positions was also the largest, ranging from ninth to fifth rank.
Several canonization documents stored in Lu'an County are among the first-class canonization documents.
It should be noted that most of the canonized gods born from the six senses system have a time limit. Most minor gods such as the ninth-grade gods only have ten years.
Ten years later, local officials will conduct an assessment and investigation based on what the deity in charge of this deity has done during the ten years.
Then reward or punish according to the actual situation.
Enforcement is the last method, the orthodox way of conferring gods. Most of them are gods that the emperor canonizes casually when he travels. Some gods who enjoy the title of kings and emperors and canonized gods can also be called envoys.
Most of their power affects only one county, and very few can affect a county. Most of their divine positions are seventh, eighth, or ninth grade.
As for the jade seal under the imperial seal, strictly speaking, it is actually an obscene sacrifice, which refers to the common people of a place who condensed into a god because of their respect and belief. For this kind of gods, officials from various places usually conduct investigations. If there are no bad deeds, they will generally not take care of them, but they will not be canonized. They are considered to be superfluous ghosts and gods, not orthodox.
As far as the existing records of gods in the land of Hanxia are concerned, there is no god who has ascended to the seventh rank or above simply by relying on the jade seal.
Moreover, most of the gods with jade seals will later be held hostage by the power of incense and wishes and transformed into images in the hearts of believers.
This is also the reason why Milo is not optimistic about Yu Feng.
In the final analysis, the root of the difference between the two ghosts, "The Extraditer" and "The Soul-Seducer", comes from Milo's companion treasure. If it is really changed by the power of incense and wish, I don't know what mess will happen.
Why should he make the dangerous attempt when there is a safer way?
Qian Zhiwen, who didn't know the inside story, had a very good sense of Milo's words, and nodded: "What Milo said is true. Shintoism, like the Confucianism I learned, is the right way in the world. Just take it slowly and steadily. Why bother asking for those things?" Heretic? The method of Jade Sealing seems to be a shortcut, but if you want to canonize again in the future, there will be many more procedures. In comparison, what you gain is far less than what you lose."
After saying that, Qian Zhiwen thought for a while and then said: "It's just that if your two ghosts are enshrined in the corner of the mountain gate in the form of spiritual tablets, those souls will not be able to be placed together with the ghosts. In the side hall, There should be one room dedicated to the main deity of the True Monarch who saved Kudu'e, and the left and right ones can be dedicated to Hu Gongxianweng and Mrs. Yousi Linshui."
Milo heard the words and nodded secretly. Hu Gongxianweng and Mrs. Yousi Linshui are also two gods often worshiped in Taoist temples in the south.
Both of them were formerly immortal monks. Among them, Hu Gong Xianweng was originally from Jingzhou. He was worshiped for helping people in many places and driving away plagues.
Later, he was recommended by local officials, and Chun Guan issued an official canonization document, becoming a local deity, enjoying incense sacrifices, and becoming a fourth-grade god. After many years of spread, the belief spread across the two states of Jingyang in the south.
Mrs. Yousi Linshui died to save others, and was recommended by local officials. The spring official issued a canonization document and transferred to Shinto.
He was a sixth-grade deity at first. Later, because of his protection, he appeared and responded frequently, going in and out of the delivery room, protecting women, and protecting fetuses. He was widely loved by the people, and was granted several titles. Now he also enjoys the status of a fourth-grade god.
