Tan Pengzhi was immediately choked by the question. He opened his mouth, but was speechless. After a long while, he murmured: "That's not the case. That Lu Wei just wanted to realize his ambition."
The monsters are rebels who have sneaked into the Celestial Master's way. Most of us, our fellow Taoists, are 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 and 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, I will take note of what I said and will pay more attention to it in the future. But today's mating ceremony between heaven and man 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, it's 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 Jiang god is a strange indigenous god in the south of the Yangtze River. 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 often whipped prisoners. He was a famous cruel official. He often told people, "My bones will be clean from my bones, 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 and holding a white feather on the road. The attendants around him were the same as when he was alive. The old official he saw ran away in shock, but Jiang Ziwen caught up with him and said, "I am already a king."
You, the land gods here, 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, there were insects as small as gadflies that 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 he would not worship Jiang Ziwen anymore.
He expected a fire to cause disaster. This year, dozens of fires broke out, and even Sun Quan's palace was on fire.
So Sun Quan didn't dare not believe it anymore, and summoned the ministers to discuss it. 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 had no choice but to issue an edict, conferring Jiang Ziwen the title of Marquis of the Central Capital, his younger brother Jiang Zixu the title of Captain of Changshui, and the capital's seal. He changed the name of Zhongshan in the northeast of Nanjing to Jiangshan, and built a temple for him in the mountain.
It is strange to say that as soon as the Chiang Kai-shek temple was built, those weird disasters disappeared. From then on, not only the official temple in Jiangshan, but also the people in the Jiangnan area began to build temples to worship the fierce god Jiang Ziwen.
, and the Chiang Shrine next to Pinglu Village is such a folk ancestral hall similar to the Earth Temple of later generations.
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. Can't you three control him?"
Sun Enggong said: "The leader has divinely predicted that my disciple is incompetent, and 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 eyes like cold electricity pierced the big bag 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 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 little Li Zheng?"
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 join 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, 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. Then Master, why do we do this kind of 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."
