Yu Yuan had already anticipated Wen Zhong's choice.
For those who are cultivators of immortality, the world of mortals is not something that can be set foot on casually.
The higher the realm of Taoism, the farther away from the mortal world.
Because in the mortal world, desires are complicated, and the total number of all races in the ancient world is more than trillions.
Once a cultivator sets foot in the world of mortals, he comes into contact with all sentient beings.
Cause and effect are established immediately.
Contact with thousands of people will produce all kinds of causes and effects.
Contact with millions of people will produce millions of causes and effects.
Whether it is good causes and good effects, or evil causes and bad effects, they will deepen and evolve over time, and become entangled with each other into a big web. The longer you stay, the deeper you will be trapped.
Just like when Wen Zhong beheaded the Huai River Water God, Linhuan Pass and at least 100,000 people nearby were deeply affected.
Accordingly, Wen Zhong will inherit the cause and effect of these 100,000 people.
And that’s not counting those river spirits and water monsters!
These causes and effects may not be much, but over time, the effects of causes and effects on the body amount to more than trillions. !
Once the cause and effect collapses and worsens, various disasters will surely follow!
Therefore, the vast majority of immortal cultivators live in seclusion in the blessed land of cave heaven and rarely enter the mortal world.
But everything has its pros and cons!
Entering the mortal world and experiencing the secular world will certainly be contaminated by cause and effect, but it can sharpen your mind, strengthen your Taoist heart, and practice through the movement of incense and energy.
Gather incense and faith, gather humanity and luck.
This method is not Taoist orthodoxy, but was pioneered by the Second Holy Temple of Western Buddhism.
After that, I don’t know why, but it suddenly spread throughout the world.
Countless immortal cultivators have turned to the incense and fire path.
The mountains, rivers, lakes and seas in Nanfanbuzhou and Xiniuhezhou are filled with incense and steaming clouds.
This kind of practice method is very effective and improves rapidly.
Only when enough people sincerely believe and offer incense can the pure power of faith be formed.
These powers of faith can be used by practitioners to increase their magic power, or they can be given to spiritual treasures and magic weapons to increase their power, or they can be condensed and formed individually... turned into fragrant copper, earthly silver, heavenly gold, etc. and stored, and then they can be used in Incense circulates among the gods.
Therefore, for the Incense God, the most important thing is the territory!
As long as the territory is large enough and the population is large enough, the power of faith will continue to gather.
And the Great Shang Dynasty, which ruled the largest population, was the largest territory in the world, and also gathered the most powerful human luck!
Therefore, joining a big businessman as an official and cultivating with the help of human luck can speed up the progress of some practitioners who are shallow in Taoism.
However, this method is not Taoist orthodoxy. In the later stage, it is likely to be contaminated by too much cause and effect, but will be dragged down by human luck, and will never be able to reach the top of the immortal path.
Normally, only practitioners with low talent would choose this path.
Wen Zhong's talent is naturally excellent, but he happens to have a worldly heart...or maybe he is too upright and cannot get rid of the dirt in his eyes.
It would be okay if he stayed in Penglai, but once he came to the mortal world and saw these nonsense things, he couldn't just sit back and ignore them.
to be honest.
Cultivation of immortality is originally an extremely selfish thing, and it can be seen clearly.
The world is full of injustices. If we really want to take care of it, how can we take care of it?
Therefore, the vast majority of immortal cultivators choose to live in seclusion and practice in the beautiful caves and heavens, where they can absorb the aura of heaven and earth and gather the essence of all things.
Only focus on cultivating your own path.
But someone like Wen Zhong, who has a strong sense of justice, cannot ignore it.
So for him, embarking on this path was almost a certainty.
Yu Yuan saw this and made some preparations in advance. He compiled some superficial knowledge from his past life memories into an "encyclopedia" and took it out at this time.
In his opinion, this "encyclopedia" can definitely be regarded as the secret book among secret books, which is enough to help Wen Zhong quickly establish a foothold in Dashang, and even gain a pivotal position among the human race.
For more than a thousand years since the beginning of time, Yu Yuan has observed the human race the most.
Even if the mortals in the prehistoric times did not practice Taoism, their physical fitness and other aspects far exceeded the mortals in his previous life memories.
Ordinary mortals live a hundred years in the Spring and Autumn Period, and their actions never fade.
An ordinary adult's strength, endurance, speed and other qualities all exceed those of top athletes who have received professional training in his memory.
A large cauldron weighing hundreds of kilograms, which is used for daily cooking, can be easily lifted above the head by an ordinary woman.
A few young men can still walk as fast as they can while carrying several thousand kilograms of wood.
A large stone weighing tens of thousands of kilograms can be lifted aside by twenty or thirty people.
but……
According to what Yu Yuan saw over a thousand years ago.
This world has backward technology and backward production methods.
It's basically a matter of sowing hard and reaping little, depending on the weather.
Most importantly, civilization develops extremely slowly!
In these more than a thousand years, Yu Yuan has not seen any changes!
Take growing crops as an example.
This world doesn't even know about silt fertilizer fields, let alone retting manure fields.
As for water conservancy irrigation, seed selection and seedling breeding, there is also no such thing.
Growing crops basically involves the three processes of cultivating, sowing, and harvesting, plus at most weeding.
Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to achieve a large harvest.
Even though these people had good weather by worshiping the gods, they still could not receive much food throughout the year.
The land around Linhuan Pass is a fertile plain.
The local climate is also suitable for the growth of grains, but the report of the imperial song clearly states: "The annual harvest of ten acres of field is only forty dan."
One acre of land is equivalent to four stones of food per year.
Yu Yuan estimated that one stone from Dashang was equivalent to 24 jins in his memory, which meant that one acre of land could earn 96 jins of grain annually.
Even this most fertile land can only grow so little food on the basis of good weather and good weather. You can imagine how low the harvests in other barren lands are.
Most of the "Encyclopedia" that Yu Yuan passed on to Wen Zhong was related to common sense in agriculture, water conservancy, breeding, construction, mathematics, medical and health, etc.
These common sense in his eyes are unheard of in this world.
Wen Zhongchu didn't take it seriously at first, but after looking at it a few more times, he couldn't help but be amazed.
"If this waterwheel nullah can be built, wouldn't it be possible to divert water into the fields regardless of whether it rains or not?"
Wen Zhong's biggest worry before was that after killing the Water God, no one would be able to guarantee that everything would go smoothly in this area.
But now after seeing these "cheats" given by Yu Yuan, he suddenly felt that it was not a big deal, right?
Linhuan Pass is backed by the Huai River, so only waterwheel nullahs need to be built.
Regardless of drought or flood, water can be diverted and drained in time!
What more water god do you want? !
Thinking like this, he couldn't wait to tell the news to the people on the shore.
"Look at how anxious you are."
Yu Yuan shook his head and said angrily: "Building a waterwheel nullah is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It requires a lot of investment in manpower and material resources... This matter cannot be rushed. Let's get a water god out first."
"Um?"
Wen Zhong looked suspicious and didn't understand what he meant.
"Come with me."
Yu Yuan swayed slightly and arrived at the water temple.
This temple was built tall, majestic and magnificent.
Because the Huaishui Water God was beheaded, all the shamans in the Water Temple have disappeared at this moment. Only the clay sculpture and gold lacquer painted statue of the god is still sitting on the throne in the main hall.
Yu Yuan reached out and made a move, and the statue broke into pieces, and a piece of yellow gold ingot flowed out from it. The texture looked like brass, but it was filled with a strong smell of incense.
"This is……"
Wen Zhong, who followed him to the temple, looked at the copper ingot dripping all over the floor with a look of surprise on his face.
He is not a mortal, so he can naturally realize that these copper ingots are extraordinary.
"This is fragrant copper."
Yu Yuan said calmly: "The people of Linhuan Pass burn incense and offer sacrifices all the time. The power of incense belief is accumulated in the statue of the god, and it is condensed into this thing!
According to the amount and strength of the power of faith, it can be divided into three grades: fragrant copper, earthly silver, and heavenly gold. One hundred ingots of fragrant copper can be exchanged for ten ingots of earthly silver, or one ingot of heavenly gold...
You will inevitably have to deal with those incense gods in the future, and you need to know more about this aspect. "
"Thanks for the advice, senior brother!"
Wen Zhong nodded heavily, and then asked curiously: "Then with these fragrant coppers, can I be the water god?"
Yu Yuan shook his head, "I still need a magic weapon that can stir up clouds, spread rain, and regulate water veins."
Before he finished speaking, a ray of green light shot out, and a figure appeared in front of the temple door.
But he was a young boy from the dragon tribe who was born with two horns and was carved from pink and jade.
He held a small triangular flag in his hands. It was green in color and exuded a faint light.
"Replying to the master, Xiaolong has followed your instructions and found this magic weapon from the Water God's Cave. He also rescued more than thirty mortal women and killed all the river spirits and water monsters that eat people and kill people... …”
After hearing this, Wen Zhong finally knew where the dragon's roar that had protected the people on the shore came from.
At the same time, he felt a little ashamed.
When senior brother does these things, he takes all factors into consideration.
Unlike him, it all depends on a moment of passion.
Yu Yuan didn't know what he was thinking, so he just introduced them casually. While Ao Yi was saluting, he had already taken over the triangular flag.
Holding it in his hand and injecting just a little bit of mana, he felt that the water flow within hundreds of miles was under his control.
This is the magical weapon used by the Huaishui Water God to move clouds and spread rain.
Just by injecting mana, you can determine the size of the rain within hundreds of miles.
In other words, as long as you hold this object and have a little mana, you can become the new water god!
Yu Yuan carefully looked at the triangular flag and saw the unique traces of the standard Lingbao on it.
This is made in batches!
Obviously, this was not refined by the Huaishui Water God.
Instead, someone refined it and gave it to water monsters like the Huaishui Water God, so that they could pretend to be gods and collect incense for their faith!
Yes, this Huaishui Water God is indeed a fake.
The real water god of the Huai River is named Wuzhi Qi. He is one of the four water gods with vast supernatural powers. He once led a line of water demons to make trouble and prevent Dayu from controlling the water.
After several battles, Dayu finally locked his neck with an iron rope, pierced his nose with a golden bell, and suppressed him at the foot of Turtle Mountain.
Looking at the triangular flag, Yu Yuan made a secret calculation in his heart.
If you just want to collect incense and faith, that's it. I'm afraid the person behind the scenes is planning something secretly.
Let's take this opportunity to see who the person behind the scenes is.
After making up his mind, Yu Yuan handed the triangular flag to Wen Zhong and asked him to test the function of the magical weapon.
"Fragrant copper can be turned into magic power. Together with this flag, a mortal can have the power of the water god. You can choose a new water god from the people of Linhuan Pass."
"Choose the water god?"
Wen Zhong suddenly felt his head heat up, and ancient legends emerged in his heart.
In ancient times, there were holy emperors who ruled the world.
Among all the people, he selects and appoints talented people to serve as princes of rivers and rivers, gods of famous mountains and lands in all lands.
Order them to guard one side.
To bless all people and protect all living beings!
Senior brother taught me the "method of governing the world" before, and now he asked me to perform the task of conferring gods. Could it be that senior brother wanted me to...
But how can I, Wen Zhong, be so virtuous as to dare to compare with the ancient Holy Emperor?
Moreover, this is no longer the era of the Holy Emperor who ruled from the top down, but the world of big merchants!
But if I have a senior brother to help me, it’s not impossible...
Um?
Uh-huh?
My path... seems to be going astray!
Some people died, but not completely...
