Jiangshui tribe.
Several decades later, with the birth of the astronomical calendar and the twenty-four solar terms, the farming methods passed down by Lieshan clan became more and more perfect, and the yield of grains became higher and higher.
As the human race becomes more prosperous, its luck becomes stronger.
During this period, Lieshan clan also transformed hemp into cloth, giving people another material for making clothes in addition to animal skins.
Now that hemp has appeared, Xuanchen doesn't mind adding another fire and passing on the method of raising silkworms and weaving.
The merits that originally belonged to Luo Zu, the future concubine of Xuanyuan, were placed on Lieshan clan.
With the increase in population, the original bureaucratic system established by Fuxi was no longer suitable. The Lieshan clan made improvements on top of this, and in the blink of an eye, another five thousand years passed.
I wonder if it was because when the demon tribe slaughtered people, the human race retained more vitality, the human race's population far exceeded the original timeline, and the tribe also began to evolve towards the city.
Is this to achieve the unification of the human race during the period of the Earth Emperor?
Then what did Xuanyuan and the Five Emperors after him do?
Xuan Chen thought for a while, and he didn't care about the future. Anyway, the battle between Xuanyuan and Chiyou evolved into a battle between humans and monsters, and the luck of the human race was more prosperous than before, and everything was developing in a good direction.
It's up to him!
However, there were many twists and turns in the process. Some evil cultivators wanted to steal the fate of the human race, spread some evil beliefs everywhere, and tempted the human race to sacrifice to them.
Naturally, they were greeted by cutting down mountains, destroying temples, and eradicating all evil gods.
At first, it was just the Lieshan clan, the Youchao clan, and the Zhenyi clan who were asked to do it, but later on, many people with advanced magic powers were involved.
Xuan Chen discovered that there was a shadow of the demon clan behind this, so he naturally guessed that Lu Ya was behind it.
So he invited the leader of Tongtian Cult to send his disciples out to kill demons.
Perhaps knowing that this would not be a good thing, there were also a lot fewer evil gods and obscene priests who appeared later. Most of them were mountain spirits who did not know the fate of the sky and could not make much trouble.
However, humans are scattered all over the wilderness, and there are always some places that have not been noticed.
By the time it was discovered, it was already too late.
This made Lieshan clan a little worried. When Xuanchen saw this, he had to take out his trump card. The authority he wanted from Hou Tu was originally intended to wait until Lieshan clan's merits were complete before helping him to take a further step.
But being born early is not a big deal.
One day, Saint Houtu revealed his true form and appeared in the human tribe. He spoke with the Heavenly Constitution in his mouth and said: "If you canonize the Lieshan clan of the human race as the master of the human world of the five paths of reincarnation, you can canonize the land of the City God."
"Those who are canonized will not be reincarnated after death, but should protect all living beings in the land."
Suddenly, flowers fell from the sky, golden lotuses surged from the ground, and overwhelming power blessed the Lieshan clan.
In the development of the human race, many highly respected people who sacrificed their lives were canonized as City Gods, and the fortune of humanity soared again.
But it was not without its disadvantages. When the other saints learned that Hou Tu could actually divide the authority of reincarnation, they all made up their minds to see if they could make some plans.
You must know that among the five paths of reincarnation, in addition to the human path, there are other four paths!
Especially Ming He, his intestines were full of regret. He had agreed to Di Jun's request to collect human souls, which resulted in the destruction of the Shura Path and the six paths of reincarnation turned into the five paths of reincarnation.
If the Shura Tao still exists, who can compete with him for the position of Tao Master?
Suddenly, Hou Tuna received a lot of invitations, and he proposed himself, hoping to become the master of one of the remaining four paths.
"Tell me, how should we deal with this matter?"
In the Netherworld, Hou Tu pointed at the pile of greeting cards and said to Xuan Chen.
When she was promoted to the Nether World, Xuan Chen asked her for the authority of the human world. She had no intention of breaking her promise, but she was a little annoyed by so many people coming to her door.
Xuan Chen didn't expect that there would be so much trouble.
Two of the invitations were sent by saints, one was from the Western Saint Zhunti, and the other was from the Second Master Yuanshi Tianzun, hoping that some benefits could be exchanged for authority.
how to say? The teachings of Western religions are to cultivate the afterlife. If you try to get the authority of reincarnation, it will probably cause chaos, so it must not be given.
As for Ksitigarbha, although he serves as the Ghost Emperor of the West, he is just enjoying some of the luck brought by the fruition status of the underworld.
However, it is impossible to interfere with the operation of reincarnation at all. On the contrary, it is necessary to fulfill the responsibilities of the Ghost Emperor.
Although the teachings of Chanjiao did not involve reincarnation, Yuanshi Tianzun wanted to exchange the authority of heaven and humanity, and even offered several top-quality innate spiritual treasures in exchange.
As for the reason!
Yuanshi Tianzun attaches the greatest importance to following disciples when recruiting disciples. Most of the creatures in the Heavenly Way are innate creatures. If the authority of the Heavenly Way were in hand, wouldn’t all the innate creatures in the prehistoric era with unparalleled talents be taken into the possession of the Chanjiao?
The dispute between the two sects of Chan and Jie still exists, although the two saints will not fight.
But that doesn’t mean that they won’t compete based on the achievements and cultivation of their disciples.
The second uncle is also very good at making calculations!
Most of the innate creatures have better heels and feet, especially those who are called the first innate or something.
For example, Hongyun and Sanxiao are both innate clouds, but Hongyun, as the first cloud in the world, has better foundation and qualifications than Sanxiao. If he could not see the situation clearly, he would not die.
Although it is estimated that it is difficult for any innate first-born being to be born since the beginning of ancient times, it is not impossible.
Faced with Hou Tu's inquiry, Xuan Chen pondered for a moment and said: "Since these powers are coveted by the saints and many powerful people, Queen Hou Tu might as well just canonize them first, such as several ancestral witches or Taoist fellow Zhen Yuanzi. of."
"Is it possible that all the saints and those powerful people can still take action against these people despite the disapproval of the world?"
"The meat is rotten in the pot, what else can be lost?"
After hearing this, Hou Tu felt that it made sense.
Therefore, he was immediately canonized as the master of heaven, human and hell.
The authority of reincarnation appeared, and Hou Tu slowly said: "Zhen Yuanzi is the great emperor of Fengdu, and he has made great contributions through hard work. Today, he is canonized as the master of Tianshen Taoism, and he has the right to canonize the gods of mountains and rivers. Anyone who is canonized by him should protect the spiritual veins of the mountains and rivers of the place. "
"Chiyou is the Central Ghost Emperor and a disciple of a saint with a firm mind. Today, he is canonized as the Taoist Master of Hell. He has the right to canonize the ghosts of Yama. Anyone who is canonized by him should protect the safety of the underworld."
"In addition, he was given a book of life and death and a judge's pen, with the power to reward good deeds and punish evil deeds, and to seduce souls and claim lives."
The sage follows the law when he speaks it, and carries the constitution of heaven in his mouth.
In the blink of an eye, the authority of the gods and hells fell on Zhen Yuanzi and Chi You.
"Zhen Yuanzi thanked the empress for his canonization by the local saint."
"Chiyou thanked the saint of Houtu for his canonization."
The two of them bowed their hands at the same time, and Chi You immediately took over the book of life and death and the judge's pen.
Xuan Chen did not expect that Hou Tu valued Chi You so much that he actually assigned a Tao Master to Chi You and also gave him the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen, two top-quality innate spiritual treasures.
These two top-quality innate spiritual treasures had been in the Wu Clan's treasure house before, and Xuan Chen had seen them before.
But after Houtu became a saint, he also felt that these two spiritual treasures were closely related to the underworld, so he received them in his hands.
Unexpectedly, it was given to Chi You today.
After all, Zhen Yuanzi was at the pinnacle of quasi-sage, but even if Chi You had the blessing of the underworld realm and the essence and blood of the twelve ancestral witches, he was still in the middle stage of Da Luo.
Seemingly feeling Xuan Chen's doubts, Hou Tu explained: "My brothers only know how to fight, so let's forget about being the master of a line!"
"Fellow Taoist Zhen Yuanzi has not established any orthodoxy. He is fair and impartial. He is the perfect person to be in charge of the way of heaven and humanity."
"As for Chi You, although his current level is a little worse, he has the blood of my Wu clan and is a disciple of Senior Brother Tongtian. Even if I favor others, I can't say anything."
"On the contrary, the remaining masters of the Hungry Ghost Dao and Monster Beast Dao are difficult to deal with. The Fengdu Emperor and the Central Ghost Emperor are the two highest positions in the Netherworld, but the other four ghost emperors in the southeast, northwest and northwest are equal."
"I would rather belong to Gengchen and Jinfeng, but the other two ghost emperors, Ksitigarbha and Yun Zhongzi, are direct descendants of saints. Directly granting titles to Gengchen and Jinfeng may cause dissatisfaction among the three saints."
"Do you have a suitable candidate?"
I have to say that what Hou Tu said is very reasonable. Emperor Fengdu is the highest attainer in the Netherworld. With Zhen Yuanzi's cultivation, no one else can gossip about him.
As for the five ghost emperors, the central ghost emperor is half a step ahead of the other four ghost emperors.
In addition to Chi You's half of the witch clan blood, the other saints will not be at odds with Hou Tu just because of the position of a Taoist master.
It's just that it's hard to decide between the two remaining Taoist positions.
Xuan Chen thought for a while and only thought of a suitable candidate.
"Does Empress Houtu still remember the Black Turtle of the North Sea? He has been reincarnated as a human being for thousands of years, and it should be time for him to be born. With his merits in supporting the Netherworld, he can serve as a Taoist master. No one can say a word. "
"As for another candidate, I haven't thought of a suitable one for the time being."
After hearing Xuan Chen's words, Hou Tu's eyes shone. Beihai Xuangui was indeed a good candidate. He had nothing to do with any major lineage, and with his merits in supporting the Netherworld, he was a perfect fit.
Calculating the time, he was born in just one or two days.
So he took Xuan Chen to a fairy mountain called Wudang Mountain, which was the dojo belonging to Emperor Zhenwu in the original timeline.
It makes sense that Xuangui was reborn here.
It's just that Ziwei is the Emperor now, not the unlucky boy Boyikao. Naturally, Heaven does not need a Northern Zhenwu Emperor to guard Beitianmen, and naturally there is no such god.
So Xuan Chen thought of letting him serve as a Taoist master.
Hou Tu is in charge of reincarnation, so she naturally knows exactly where the Black Turtle of the North Sea has turned.
"Beihai Xuangui Zhenwu supports the Netherworld with his four legs. His merits are immeasurable and he deserves the position of a master."
"He is now canonized as the Taoist Master of the Demon Beast Dao. He has the right to canonize Yuan Chen, the zodiac sign. He can enlighten living beings and control the twelve earthly branches."
A force of authority instantly fell into the Wudang Mountains.
It turns out that the Black Tortoise of the North Sea was reborn into the earth. As for Zhenwu's name, could it be that he was originally named Zhenwu, so he was canonized as Emperor Zhenwu?
I have always called him Senior Black Turtle, but I really don’t know what his name is.
However, Hou Tu is in charge of reincarnation, and the names of all the creatures that have gone through reincarnation cannot be hidden from her.
As if the power had entered his body, Zhenwu actually showed signs of transforming in advance.
I saw the silhouette of a black turtle appearing in the earth veins, and the power of the earth veins manifested into a long snake. Then the two reflected each other, reflecting the outline of a human figure, accompanied by the golden light of boundless merit.
Xuan Chen knew that this was the merit of Zhenwu supporting the sky.
However, seeing the phantom of the turtle and snake, Xuan Chen also understood why in later generations there was a saying that Zhenwu trampled the turtle and snake. The turtle was naturally his previous life, and the snake was the spirit of the earth.
After the authority of the Demonic Beast Dao was integrated, the momentum of the figure was also rising steadily.
The Golden Immortal is complete.
Taiyi Golden Immortal is perfect.
Daluo Jinxian is perfect.
The Hunyuan Golden Immortal is perfect.
A majestic figure with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes appeared in front of Houtu and Xuanchen. It was the reincarnation of the Black Tortoise of the North Sea. Perhaps due to the merits of his body, he did not survive the catastrophe of transformation.
After all, as long as his four legs continue to support the Netherworld, there will be a steady stream of merit.
"Zhenwu, thank you for being canonized by the saint of Houtu!"
The reincarnation of the Black Turtle of the North Sea bowed respectfully to Hou Tu.
Hou Tu nodded, expressing satisfaction.
