Tan Pengzhi was immediately choked by the question. He opened his mouth, but could not speak. After a long while, he murmured: "That's not the case. That Lu Wei is just trying to realize his ambition." The demons are rebels who have sneaked into the Celestial Master's way. We, our fellow Taoists, are probably not like this."
Liu Yu sighed: "At least this shows that there are people like Lu Wei. Although I don't read much, I have heard a lot of history books from my friends. I have heard about the rise and fall of previous generations. Many people have caused chaos and rebellion. They are using the name of this religion to deceive kind-hearted believers."
"To put it aside, the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was just like people like Lu Wei. If the three brothers Zhang Jiao were not just trying to realize their own ambitions, how could they really believe in these gods and ghosts? Where’s the ghost?”
"Brother Tan, this theory of ghosts and gods is false. No one can really see someone becoming an immortal, but just a beautiful dream can make people look forward to it for life after life."
"As your friend, I want to advise you that you have to rely on your own hard work in life. Food and clothing will not fall from the sky, let alone rely on others to help you. It is better to believe in God than to believe in yourself."
Tan Pingzhi shook his head: "Brother Liu's words, I have taken note of it and will pay more attention to it in the future. But today's heaven-human intercourse ceremony is still rare after all. If you don't want to go, then I will do it myself went."
Liu Yu laughed and patted Tan Pingzhi on the shoulder: "Why don't you go and have a look? Anyway, you are idle. Besides, isn't this just a poor man's version of a high-class banquet? Let's go. The vision is also good.”
Almost at the same time, three miles outside Pinglu Village, there was the Chiang Kai-shek Shrine.
This god Jiang is a strange indigenous god from Jiangnan. According to legend, during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Moling Lieutenant Jiang Ziwen was a lustful and drunkard, and he often whipped prisoners. He was a famous cruel official. He often told people that my bones will be clean since I died, and I will become a god after my death.
Later, when Jiang Ziwen was drunk and chased the thief, he was hit on the forehead by the thief, fell off his horse and was captured, and died soon after.
After Sun Quan ascended the throne, an old official of Jiang Ziwen suddenly saw Jiang Ziwen riding a white horse on the road, holding a white feather, and the attendants around him were the same as when he was alive. The old official he saw ran away in shock, and was chased by Jiang Ziwen, saying that I was already the land god here, and you must build a temple to worship me, otherwise there will be a severe drought this year.
As a result, within two months, there was a severe drought in the south of the Yangtze River, and there was a lot of discussion among the people. Some people thought of offering sacrifices in private ancestral halls. At this time, some wizards claimed to have heard Jiang Ziwen cast a curse, saying that he would protect the establishment of the Sun regime in Jiangdong and ask Sun Quan to Build a temple to worship him, otherwise, insects will enter people's ears and cause disaster.
Sun Quan still didn't believe in this evil. Within half a month, small insects as thin as gadflies appeared, which would kill anyone if they entered the ear. The doctors were helpless. This incident made the people even more panicked. Finally, another wizard claimed to have dreamed of Jiang Ziwen and said that if he did not sacrifice him, there would be a fire. This year, there were dozens of fires, and even Sun Quan's palace was on fire.
So Sun Quan didn't dare not believe it anymore, and called together the ministers to discuss, and they all said that Jiang Ziwen was an evil ghost who had nowhere to go. If he didn't offer sacrifices, he would continue to worship him, so he should be appeased.
Sun Quan could only issue an edict to confer Jiang Ziwen as the Marquis of the Central Capital, and his younger brother Jiang Zixu as the Captain of Changshui. They both added seals and ribbons. Zhongshan in the northeast of Nanjing was renamed Jiangshan, and a temple was built for him in the mountain.
It's strange to say that as soon as the Chiang Kai-shek temple was established, those weird disasters would disappear. From then on, not only the official temple in Jiangshan, but also the people in the Jiangnan area began to build temples to worship Jiang Ziwen, the fierce god. The Chiang Temple next to Pinglu Village is such a temple similar to that of later generations. folk ancestral hall.
The statue of Jiang Ziwen, who was dressed in military uniform, holding a sword and armor, and looked fierce, was now covered by a huge white curtain.
A tall, majestic middle-aged Taoist, dressed in fine satin and purple robes, was sitting on a futon in front of the idol, with three long strands of chest-length beard fluttering slightly.
His eyes were closed tightly, the fingers of his right hand were counting slightly, and he was mumbling something.
Sun En, Lu Xun, and Xu Daofu were bowing their heads, standing behind this person. He was Sun Tai, the current leader of Tianshi Dao. Finally, Sun Tai stopped calculating in his hands and slowly opened his eyes. Eyes rolled: "Sun En, but Liu Yu is not an easy person to deal with. You three can't control him?"
Sun Enggong said: "The leader has divinely predicted that my disciple is incompetent. I apologize to you."
Xu Daofu curled up his lips: "Master, how do you know that we have suffered at Liu Yu's expense?"
Sun Tai stood up, turned around, and his cold eyes pierced the big bump covering Xu Dao's forehead: "I asked you to spread the news yesterday. That Tan Pingzhi will definitely come to Liu Yu, and The three of you will inevitably have a conflict with him. If you succeed, will you still look like this now?"
Lu Xun sighed: "I didn't expect that Liu Yu was not only so brave, but also mentally mature. We underestimated him this time. Master, I'm afraid this request from Governor Diao is not easy to handle."
Sun En also nodded: "Yes, why didn't Governor Diao take action himself, but asked us to help him? Master, is it worth such a big fight to deal with a small person?"
Sun Tai's eyes flashed coldly: "What do you know? This place in Jingkou is a gathering place for the fierce northern refugees. The people are all like bears and tigers. If you get here, you will have a natural and excellent source of troops. From now on Whether it is to enter the government or to be independent, it is within easy reach. So many high-ranking families are fighting for this place but cannot get it. If we have the opportunity to enter here, can we give up? "
Lu Xun curled his lips: "But, if so many high-ranking families want this place, why would they give it to a lower-class family like the Diao family? Why should the Wang family of Taiyuan, the Xie family of Chenjun, or the Huan family of Qiao Guo get it? Why don’t you fight for such a noble family?”
Sun Tai sighed: "It's because several equally matched aristocratic families want to come here, so they are at loggerheads. This allows second- and third-rate families like the Diao family to get an advantage, but Diao Kui is not a fool. The Diao family has been with them for several lifetimes. All their savings are invested here, just to make enough money in these two years. Therefore, they need to suppress the leading brothers here in Jingkou, just like Liu Yu. Only by convincing them can the Diao family control Jingkou. "
Xu Daofu suddenly realized and let out a sigh of relief: "So that's it. Master, why do we have to do such a thing for the Diao family? This is of no benefit to us. When it comes to making friends with the high-ranking families in the court, we Just go directly to the Wang family, Xie family, or the King of Kuaiji."
