A small world in Xuantian
In the territory of the Dazheng Dynasty, the Jinlai River runs through the north and south. There are majestic cities along the coast and the people live and work in peace and contentment. There is a river god in the river. He was a minister of the Jin Kingdom more than two thousand years ago. He presided over the construction of the Jinlai River. Later, he was dissatisfied with the ruler of the Jin Kingdom. Due to tyranny, he threw himself into a river and died. Because of his meritorious deeds, he was chosen as the river god. He was accidentally worshiped by the master at that time, which ignited the fire of Taiyi's faith in this world.
Dynasties change constantly, but Taiyi has formed a sect among the people. Although it has experienced ups and downs, it has always continued.
Yang Fubo, the river god, was in a low position and had few opportunities in the God's Court. He was in a small world and did not know about the death of the great emperor. He only had some bad premonitions. Later, he received an order from the Emperor's Court asking the envoys of the gods to keep a low profile. My heart was suspended in the air, unable to move up or down.
He obediently stayed in the underwater cave to cultivate, and did not hear anything outside the window. About a year later, he was awakened by a sudden increase in corpses in the river. When he stepped ashore, he saw two armies fighting, and the sound of killing was loud.
"The fate of the Zheng Kingdom is going downhill, but it won't end so soon." Yang Fubo used the qi-seeing technique, but saw that the golden light of the capital was dim and was about to extinguish, and it was time to change the dynasty.
He didn't want to care about it. A life span of hundreds of years, birth, old age, illness and death, changes in dynasties, separation and reunification were all common sense. He would not interfere arbitrarily, and the laws of heaven did not allow him to interfere.
Yang Fubo returned to the river with his hands behind his back to cook the buried corpses, to be careful not to let them become resentful spirits. After thinking about it, he felt it was wrong, so he went to the nearest river temple.
He stepped into the statue and arrived at the divine office where he worked. There were already several piles of papers on the desk, which were the prayers of the people in front of the statue. If it was within his scope of authority to find corpses in the water, deal with water ghosts, etc., he would He will be satisfied.
However, the first thing he picked up was the daily report burned by the temple. The daily report generally reported what he saw, heard, and thought on the day of the temple blessing, which was his way of observing the world.
"National Preceptor?" Yang Fubo put down the last regular report and was puzzled. How could a National Preceptor appear in Dazheng and build a shrine for this Imperial Preceptor?
The emperor of the Wu family was born as a general more than 2,000 years ago. He used the power of heaven to calm public opinion and ascend to the throne. He eventually unified all the countries and became the emperor of this Haoyuan continent. This "heaven" is naturally the Taiyi Emperor's Court, regardless of whether he believes it or not. God, he built thousands of temples for Taiyi, and a sect that believed in Taiyi came into being, named "Xuanguang", and became the state religion.
It's just that this state religion has its own name, no scripture meaning, no belief. It is just a tool for the emperor of the Wu family to implement various political decrees. He was so angry that he looked for an opportunity to enlighten a smart person in the religion and granted him the Taoism based on the thought of Taiyi. In the hands of this wise man, the Xuanguang Sect took on a soul and gradually broke away from the control of the dynasty and became a true folk belief.
Over the years, the Xuanguang Sect has split into many factions, all of which adhere to the Taiyi divine line. No obscene temple and wild festival can become a major belief and push Taiyi aside.
"This national master is very powerful in disrupting the destiny of the Zheng Dynasty without getting backlash." Yang Fubo planned to go to the capital to find out the details of the land god, and then decide whether to interfere.
As Yang Fubo went north, beacon fires and smoke were everywhere, riots could be seen everywhere, and the people were in dire straits. The general outline of the matter became clear from other people's mouths.
Emperor Dazheng had been in poor health in recent years. In order to avoid his children's bloody fight for the throne, he made arrangements early and drove the eighteen princes and princesses to their fiefdoms, leaving only the eldest prince to teach him personally.
The emperor was over eighty years old and had reigned for sixty-four years. When he was about to die, a Taoist priest named Chen Baishui came to his door and offered him a pill. The emperor immediately glowed with vitality, his hair turned black, and he looked older than the sixty-year-old. The prince is still young.
Yang Fubo suddenly realized that the emperor was the master of the country's destiny. Chen Baishui helped the emperor, which really did not disturb the country's destiny, but it did disrupt the country's destiny and indirectly caused turmoil.
The eldest prince had been waiting for the throne for a lifetime, and his mentality collapsed. He launched a palace coup in the name of clearing the emperor and killing demons, but was killed by the emperor.
After this incident, the emperor appointed Chen Baishui as his national advisor and called him a heavenly immortal. The imperial advisor also frequently displayed miraculous powers and won over a group of believers.
Not long after the palace change, the emperor was afraid that his children outside the country would develop patricide like the eldest prince, so he would restrict their power in disguise, or recall them to the country under the eyes of the capital, using various methods. His children also hated him for not dying in old age. , grabbed the throne and refused to let go, so this mutiny of the Ten Kings occurred.
"Not good." The transformation of life, old age, illness and death was not his responsibility, but the land god's. If the earth god had taken care of it, the situation would not be the same as it is today.
Yang Fubo called out to the God of Land at various land temples along the road, but he never got a response. He rushed to the Land Temple in the capital where the God of Land usually lived overnight, and found that a Taoist temple covering an area of nearly 100 acres stood on the original temple site!
The moment he appeared outside the Taoist temple, a powerful spiritual consciousness was locked inside the Taoist temple. He held the Heavenly Official Seal and struck at this spiritual consciousness. He didn't want to miss it, and there was no movement in the Taoist temple.
Yang Fubo's heart was greatly moved. He knew that there were many Taoists outside the world, but there should be no Taoists in this small world!
There are ghosts and evil spirits in this world, but they are not common. Taoist practice methods have not appeared for thousands of years. Occasionally, strangers will use small techniques to exorcise evil spirits and subjugate ghosts, but they are always hidden behind people. This has never been the case. Appear grandly.
Could this be the reason why the Imperial Court asked them to keep a low profile?
Yang Fubo glanced at the Taoist temple with an endless stream of pilgrims, then turned to look for it in the high mountains and dangerous valleys. After searching for seven days and seven nights, he saw three small earth temples piled with stones near a ground line. He called out three times and called out a person. A woman in earthen yellow robe.
"Jinlai River God?" She rubbed her sleepy eyes, and her face changed suddenly in the next moment, "Which dog pushed my mansion!"
"God of the Earth! God of the Earth!" Yang Fubo pulled back the envoy of the gods who flew out, "Don't be impatient, I'm here just for this."
"...Invite the River God to come in and explain in detail."
"please."
Yang Fubo followed her into the nearby Earth Temple. The temple was only a few square meters wide and had no extra decoration. It was a rough stone room with a futon inside.
The Earth God Duo took out a futon and invited him to sit down. He didn't say much and told him everything he saw and heard.
After listening to this, the land god pondered, "Maybe there is still an incredible inheritance hidden in this land."
Yang Fubo: "I don't think so. The world here is ignorant, and it is difficult to breathe out vitality. How can we cultivate powerful spiritual consciousness? It is not like us who can feel the power of water and the power of earth veins."
The Earth God frowned, "No matter what, I have to take care of this matter."
There are three envoys from the gods on this continent, a river god, an earth god and a mountain god.
Both she and the mountain god are in charge of the earth. She is in charge of the land on earth and protects the order of humanity. The god of the mountain is in charge of the land outside the world and protects natural creations. The national master went against the emperor's life and death and destroyed the order of humanity. It was her fault.
