Late at night, Lu Mansion.
Wang Lu and Lu Yutang walked to the Liuxian Temple in their house together.
The Lu family's ancestral house has been expanded for many years, and its length and width are more than two to three hundred feet. It occupies a very large area. There are not only rockeries and gardens in the house, but also pavilions, towers and lakesides. It is natural to build a Liuxian temple without being crowded.
The two of them were silent along the way. The servants held lamps and candles on the left and right in front of them to guide the way. The maid followed behind them. A group of more than ten people arrived in front of the Liuxian Temple.
It is late at night, and the surroundings are silent except for the chirping of insects. The door of Liuxian Temple has been closed, and the incense is still in the temple. The candlelight is flickering, and the night is bright. Some lights and incense are spent on the Lu family today. Words are a drop in the bucket.
Mrs. Lu raised her eyes and looked behind her, "You all go down, the master and I will pay our respects to Liu Xian."
All the maids and servants bowed and said yes, and then retreated in an orderly manner. This is the etiquette of a wealthy family, and there can be no mistakes.
Lu Yutang glanced at Xiaoyue, who was still standing behind Wang. Wang understood and said with a smile: "Xiaoyue, you stay here, I have been feeling uneasy lately, so I went in with the master to burn incense and ask for help." Don't worry. Just keep an eye on it and don't let others disturb the purity."
Xiaoyue hurriedly bowed and said: "Yes, madam."
Prince Lu chuckled lightly and said, "Master, let's go."
Lu Yutang nodded and walked into the temple with his wife. Among the servants who had just retreated were secret men from other courtyards. As soon as there was any news, they returned to their masters. He was not unaware of the secret intrigues in the palace. It's just that if the water is clear, there will be no fish, not to mention watching a group of women fighting for their favor, it is a sense of accomplishment.
He is only in charge of the outside world, and his wife naturally takes charge of everything in the house. There is a distinction between inside and outside. This is also the rule of a large family.
The two walked into the temple and looked at the large stone white snake statue on the altar. The candlelight reflected it more vividly at night.
Wang lit three incense sticks, slowly extinguished the open flame, lit up a thin line of smoke and slowly rose, and then handed it to the master who was looking at the statue in a daze, "Master, please light the incense."
Lu Yutang came back to his senses from the mysterious and indifferent snake eyes, took the incense, "Oh, that's right."
He took the incense, bowed respectfully and said: "The eleventh generation of the Lu family, Lu Yutang, the Minister of Household Affairs at that time paid tribute to Liu Xian, and blessed me with your kindness. Protect our Lu family from prosperity for hundreds of years, and ensure that our Lu family will be passed down from generation to generation." !”
As he finished speaking, he inserted three agarwood incense sticks into the incense altar, and green smoke curled up.
At the same time, Bai Jun, who was far away in Wanshe Mountain, suddenly raised his head and looked at the clouds in the sky. After the incense and fire Xinli merged into a trace of green smoke and fragrant clouds outside the mountain, the cloud waves rolled in an instant, and the red clouds fluttered in all directions, turning from red to purple. A huge python formed from the power of incense and faith wanders across the sky, entrenching itself in all directions to suppress all evils.
A burning sensation came from the center of Bai Jun's eyebrows, and an immortal order was condensed. The strange strokes were like a dragon and snake meandering around. The purple order hung on the spiritual platform, and it said: "The Willow Immortal Order."
Bai Jun felt happy in his heart, and commanded between his brows to emit divine light, summoning the incense cloud python entrenched in the sky.
A ray of purple light fell into the valley, blending with the three million-mile-long Snake Mountain, opening up the divine microcosm, the valley transformed into the divine return, and the faith of the willow immortals among all the people gathered together and turned into a divine realm.
The divine realm resides under the sky and above the earth, far away from the mortal world, and under the Nine Heavens and Immortals. It does not enter the human world, does not ascend to the Nine Heavens, and does not fall into the netherworld. There are gods living in numerous mountains and palaces.
The golden gate opens above the divine realm. The divine gate is called the Willow Immortal Realm. Incense is the wall, and the mountains are the ground. Humans, immortals, and mountain gods all live together. The incense, fire, and divine ways combine with the authority of heaven and earth. The edicts of the "mountains" merge into the edicts of the "Willow Immortals", and they seem to be one. The talisman has the Willow Immortal's Order on the front, but the Mountain's Order is hidden on the back.
Bai Jun's body shape changed, from a python to a human, just like a real person. This is the body of a god transformed by Shinto incense and faith. It is much better than the Apparition Technique. It is not afraid of some foreign objects with heavy yang energy and blood. Except for the blood, muscles and bones of a human body, it is no different from ordinary humans.
White clouds and mist rose inexplicably under his feet. Bai Jun flew up to the divine realm. The golden gate opened wide. When he entered his divine realm, he saw chaos and darkness. However, the divine realm was very wide, at least a hundred miles wide.
He guessed that it might be related to the integration of the authority of the mountains, and that there was some unknown connection between the divine domain and the mountains.
Bai Jun stretched out his hand and pointed at the sky of the divine realm. A bright moon hung in the sky, illuminating the dark and gloomy realm.
In this divine realm, Bai Jun can have infinite power with the power of faith in incense, but the prerequisite is that he also has infinite faith.
Since becoming Liuxian and gathering the faith of thousands of people, Bai Jun has rarely used the faith of incense. He only uses it to find three lucky believers every day to fulfill some small wishes.
Therefore, the credibility of incense accumulated over two hundred years is extremely huge.
But he only spent 30% of his faith by turning into a full moon, so he really couldn't squander it casually.
Bai Jin constructed a palace, pavilions, towers and jade buildings in the divine domain, stretching for ten miles, turning it into a small shrine.
In this divine realm, Bai Jun can see the desires of all the people behind countless faiths, including ensuring peace, prosperity of the family, wealth, children, rain, and even incense and faith. Mixed with a few evil spells.
Those are low-level practitioners who cast spells to channel gods and use their divine power to do crooked things.
Naturally, Bai Jun wouldn't pay attention to it. Not to mention anything outrageous, even doubling the pitiful remuneration wouldn't be worth the trip.
In addition to these, he also saw the Lu family and his wife in front of the Liuxian Temple of the Lu family. Lu Yutang sent him to the purple sky with a pillar of incense, which shows how strong the fortune of the Jin Dynasty was.
Liu Xian's order flashed in Bai Jun's Tianling, and he communicated with the statue of gods. This was a divine method that he had just realized. It could connect the world to worship the statue of Liu Xian and manifest a temporary clone.
In the Liuxian Temple of the Lu family, Wang also offered a stick of incense, took out the piece of white jade, and whispered: "Master, what do you think Liuxian's purpose was in sending this piece of fairy scale?"
Lu Yutang shook his head, "I don't understand either, but if it is really sent by Liu Xian, there will naturally be instructions. All the way back to my hometown, I met no less than five mountain gods and river gods who treated me with courtesy and begged me to give them a pillar. Xiangqiu, I didn’t even pay attention to it.
I hope this Liuxian is really effective. "
"Master, look!" Wang Lu said in surprise: "Look at the incense head, the three incense are getting higher and higher, the fragrance of merit!"
After becoming an official wife for many years, Wang Lu has been diligently studying books to ensure that she will not be too different from the official ladies. She knows how to look at the incense heads, when offering incense, looking at cigarettes, and looking at the incense sticks when they are burning. There is a lot of knowledge in it. Now the lengths of these three incense heads are obviously merit incense!
Merits are fragrant, virtues are complete, and the gods are silently blessing.
Lu Yutang took a look and saw that it was indeed correct. He bowed and said, "The eleventh generation member of the Lu family, Lu Yutang pays homage to Liu Xian."
Mrs. Lu Wang knelt down on the futon in front of the altar table, clasping her hands together, and said piously: "Ms. Lu Wang, a commoner woman, pays homage to Liu Xian!"
The couple, one kneeling and the other bowing, looked toward Liu Xian together.
The reason why Lu Yutang did not kneel down and worship was because he was a second-rank official in the dynasty. He worshiped heaven and earth, ancestors and relatives, and other than that, he only worshiped the Holy Emperor of the Jin Dynasty!
Even the gods of mountains and rivers would not dare to be worshiped by him, otherwise the great fortune of the Jin Dynasty, the second-rank official golden pheasant bird above their heads would not peck those gods half to death.
As the two of them bowed down, the white snake stone statue that had been enshrined for hundreds of years in the Lujia Liuxian Temple suddenly came to life. The snake's body began to swim slowly, the snake's head was raised, and golden vertical pupils appeared in the stone eyes. The two men below him said calmly: "Young Master, please pay my respects to the Immortal Xiang. May I ask for something?"
Wang Lu's eyelids were twitching wildly and her heart was beating rapidly. She suppressed the sound of screaming and lay silently on the ground.
Even though Lu Yutang had seen too many weird and strange things in his life, this was the first time he faced the Demon Python Immortal Family. He was a little frightened, but he suppressed his emotions in the blink of an eye and said respectfully: "Mr. Lu, thank you Liu Xian for your centuries-old protection." , so I would like you to condescend to surrender to my Lu family, accept the worship of my Lu family, and become the ancestral spirit of my Lu family in Xiahe."
"Ancestral spirit?" White Snake said slowly: "In the past, the ancestors of the Lu family were kind to me, and I also supported you, the Lu family, for more than two hundred years. This fate should have ended.
But now that I have received a stick of incense from you and become a god, I have to repay this love. Considering that you are sincere in building the underground palace for me, it is not a bad idea.
However, there is a difference between immortals and mortals. If you want to be prosperous and wealthy, you have to rely on yourself. What's more, if you, a disciple of the Lu family, become a dandy, have bad morals, and provoke a powerful enemy, I am afraid that the whole clan will not survive, and even this immortal will be implicated. "
Lu Yutang said happily: "Thank you very much Liu Xian for your great kindness. From now on, I will restrain the disciples of the family, cultivate their moral character, maintain strict family tradition, and uphold morality."
White Snake said calmly: "In this case, I will teach you a few words of teaching. I hope that your whole family will follow them and remember them. This will ensure that your Lu family will be passed down for thousands of years and will continue to grow from generation to generation."
"Listen to Liu Zu's teachings!" Lu Yutang, who has been in the officialdom for many years, naturally knows how to beat snakes and follow the stick. As soon as Bai She agreed, he quickly changed his words, calling himself a disciple and flattering Liu Zu.
White Snake didn't care about the other party's flattery, and slowly said: "I have watched the world of mortals for hundreds of years, and only then can I learn the four languages of the world.
One said: Be cautious and at ease.
The second saying is: Respecting the Lord makes the body strong.
Third: Seeking benevolence will please others.
The fourth saying: Practice hard work and you will become divine. "
Outside the door, Xiaoyue covered her mouth desperately for fear of making any sound. She looked at the living white snake in the window gap in horror, and suddenly thought that the Lu family's ancestral hall was also needed by Liu Xian. Maybe there was something hidden in it. Something she couldn't even imagine.
Lu Yutang and Wang thanked each other, and White Snake spoke again: "From now on, every year on June 6th, which is the birthday of this immortal, you can consecrate a jade stone in the temple. Wearing it can protect you from all evil spirits. If it has important events related to the clan, you can burn it. Place the incense next to my phosphorus armor, and the immortal will come to you.
Remember, there are many things involved in the scale armor, and it cannot be transmitted unless the leader of the clan. "
As the words fell, White Snake emitted a dazzling white light, causing everyone to subconsciously turn their heads and close their eyes. After the white light disappeared, the Willow Immortal statue turned into the stone statue again, but compared to before, the snake eyes seemed to be exuding a cold light that made people dare not look directly.
Wang paid her respects for a long time and then stood up. Seeing that the master was still in a daze, she called softly: "Master, Liu Zu has left."
"Ah? He's gone." Lu Yutang suddenly woke up, and the secret words Liu Xian gave him when he left were still echoing in his mind.
"Whenever the generation of clan leaders changes, take my white scales, go to the ancient coffin in the underground palace, place the scales and bow before you can take over."
What exactly is in the coffin of the underground palace? Lu Yutang also felt puzzled, but he had no intention of finding out the truth.
Now that he has finally found a Liu Xian who is not involved with any big family, he can be invited as the ancestral spirit. Lu Yutang will never offend the ancestral spirit. After all, this is a matter of great importance to the Lu family for generations to come!
When Mr. and Mrs. Lu came out, Xiaoyue was already standing far away in front of the temple, with no color on her face. Holding a lamp and candle, she bowed and silently followed Mr. Wang to light the lamp.
Prince Lu asked softly: "Yue'er, did you see anything just now?"
Xiaoyue's heart trembled, but she still held it back, "I've been standing here for so long without seeing anyone."
"Haha~ Okay, go back and have a rest quickly. It's already midnight." Lu Yutang smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll see you off."
The right joy on Mrs. Lu's face made him smile even more. On the way, Mrs. Lu smiled and asked, "When do you plan to set off?"
"Now that all the big things have been taken care of, let's set off on the first day of next month. Maybe we can catch up with the crowning ceremony of the youngest son of Duke Ming's family."
…
In the City God's Domain of Qinan Prefecture, the City God looked at the purple incense scene in the south. A giant python was entrenched on the top of the mountains, overlooking the world to the north. He admired in his heart: "This white snake and willow fairy is such a great creation. The mountain god has not been canonized yet. I used the luck of the Jin Dynasty to avoid disasters and became the god of incense and fire in the middle realm, but I don’t know if I can survive this incense and fire disaster in the future.”
…
In the capital city, in the mansion of Duke Ming of the First Class of Jin Dynasty, all important places in the palace are guarded by guards. Outside the warehouse, there are several guards who take turns guarding day and night. Because the title of Duke Ming has been passed down for two hundred years and has not been diminished, it is deeply valued by the Holy Emperor. His mansion contains countless rare and priceless treasures.
In the warehouse, there is actually a mechanism wall separated by a wall. What is placed on one side of the wall is the real priceless treasure.
Among the treasures, there is an ancient painting.
In this uninhabited secret room, the scroll that had been lying there for a hundred years fell to the ground, and one end of the scroll slowly opened on its own.
In the scroll, there is a picture of a white snake looking at the moon that is so lifelike that it makes people look pale!
At this moment, the white snake in the painting actually moved. It swam slowly in the painting, sometimes playing in the mountains and rivers, sometimes coiled up and sleeping. Finally, the white snake actually flew on the mountains in the painting and turned into a human. A beautiful woman wearing a white silk flowing fairy skirt appeared outside the painting with a twist.
She looked over her whole body, touched her hands here and there lovingly, and made a gentle voice: "I have finally taken shape! After staying in this painting for hundreds of years, I have already found it unbearable to be lonely. I want to get out of this painting. Paint, go and take a look at the human world outside."
However, the woman in white took two steps and said sadly to herself: "But my true body is still here, and there is an awe-inspiring aura outside the house that can hurt my legal body. How can I leave here?"
She was the result of this ancient painting gaining popularity over time, and by chance, she became the spirit in the painting. She was born with spiritual wisdom and cultivated into a demon with the white snake in the painting.
After all, the most spiritual part of this ancient painting is the ink of the white snake.
