A few years later, Lin Yun could be said to have turned a deaf ear to what was going on in these two realms, focusing only on cultivating the "Hunyuan Jue".

"Unscrupulous Taoist priest, you have been planning to stay in these two rivers, and you are not going out?"

On this day, the Sixth Princess came to Lin Yun again, thinking of traveling around the world together. She might have stayed in Luoshui for too long.

"Sixth Princess, I want to go too, but even though I have become the river god of these two realms, it is essentially the same as being in jail..."

"How about I go talk to Sister Luoshen and allow you to go out?"

Although the Sixth Princess said she was begging for mercy, there was a sly smile on her lips.

"Uh, forget it...it's not necessary. I've committed a heinous crime, so that's how it should be."

"Haha, you are an unscrupulous Taoist priest but you are also a coward. You were not like this when you married the soul clone of Sister Luo Shen."

"Forehead……"

Just when Lin Yun was about to say something, a great god arrived.

"I didn't expect that the rivers in these two realms are quite lively."

"Meet the Great God of Santan Haihui."

Etiquette must not be lost, Lin Yun and the Sixth Princess bowed to the visitors.

"Haha, don't call me the Great God of Santan Haihui. If you treat me as a friend, just call me Nezha."

Nezha is free and easy by nature and doesn't care about these things.

Lin Yun and Nezha are quite close, so since the other party has said so, there is no need to lower one's stance too low.

"Haha, I wonder what the business of the Great God Nezha is when he comes to visit our two realms?"

"Why, you can't come here if you don't have official business? Why are you, the river god, so arrogant after being demoted?"

Seeing Lin Yun making fun of him, Nezha also joked and played along.

The sixth princess on the side said that your relationship is heating up a bit quickly.

"Okay, okay, I won't joke with you, let's be serious. I came here with a mission this time."

"Haha, I guessed it right. As expected, I still go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing."

"Haha, yes, what you said makes sense, but this time it's a mission, but it's actually a huge benefit."

This made Lin Yun a little curious as to what mission was actually a huge benefit.

"Lin Yun, do you know the twelve zodiac signs?"

Twelve zodiac signs? Lin Yun naturally knows this.

As early as the pre-Qin period, a relatively complete zodiac system existed.

The earliest document handed down to record the twelve zodiac signs that are the same as those of later generations is "Lunheng" written by Wang Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

These twelve zodiac signs are the visual representatives of the twelve earthly branches, namely Zi (rat), Chou (ox), Yin (tiger), Mao (rabbit), Chen (dragon), Si (snake), Wu (horse),

Wei (sheep), Shen (monkey), You (chicken), Xu (dog), Hai (pig).

"I have certainly heard of the twelve zodiac signs, but since ancient times, there has been controversy over which of the twelve zodiac signs they are."

Lin Yun wasn't sure which of the twelve zodiac signs he was referring to now, so he didn't say anything too serious.

"Well, the origin of these twelve zodiac signs is indeed a long time ago, but there has never been a conclusion. Two or three hundred years ago, Laojun accepted a named disciple named Wang Chong. In the book he wrote, the twelve zodiac signs were determined. A few days ago

Recognized by the Heavenly Dao, the Six Saints, the Heavenly Court and the Fire Cloud Cave."

Nezha revealed a lot of information in just a few words.

Fortunately, Lin Yun's thoughts are clear now and he can understand them one by one.

This Wang Chong was a figure in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he came from a "fine and isolated family".

Wang Chong takes the natural inaction of Taoism as the purpose of his argument, takes "heaven" as the highest category of the view of heaven, and "qi" as the core category.

His representative work "Lunheng", with eighty-five chapters, explains and annotates many things in the world.

Later, he also joined Laojun's disciples and devoted himself to cultivation.

But I didn't expect that the twelve zodiac signs among these eighty-five articles would actually be recognized.

What is the concept of determining the twelve zodiac signs?

Lin Yun didn't need to think about it to know that this matter had great merit and luck.

Presumably, Wang Chong will also gain a lot of merits after this incident, and then he will gain the status of heaven and earth and become a heavenly king.

Moreover, the existence of the twelve zodiac signs as a belief actually weakens the influence of Buddhism from another angle.

"Then, what is the mission this time?" Lin Yun knew that determining the twelve zodiac animals had great merits, but he didn't know what the mission and benefits Nezha said were.

Nezha was obviously a little more excited when he mentioned this task.

"Although the names of the twelve zodiac signs have been determined, the specific guardian of the twelve zodiac signs has not yet been determined." After finishing speaking, Nezha took out a gold medal, then looked at Lin Yun and gave a look that you know.

.

"Is it possible that this mission is to determine the patron saint of the twelve zodiac animals?"

It is certain that on the one hand, the guardian gods of the twelve zodiac signs have merits and virtues, and on the other hand, there is no one who has a close relationship with the guardian gods of the twelve zodiac signs.

The patron saint of the twelve zodiac signs is ranked third! Of course, this third rank is a virtual title and does not have any substantial power.

But as a person from later generations, Lin Yun knew that the belief in this zodiac patron saint was extremely rich, and he must have a lot of merit and luck.

In other words, even if these twelve zodiac patron saints have no potential to become immortals, they can achieve the realm of gods simply by relying on the power of faith and the accumulation of incense!

After all, this is also a conferring of gods!

How could he get such a good thing? Lin Yun couldn't believe it.

"Are you in disbelief?" Nezha seemed to have anticipated Lin Yun's expression.

"Well, I did not expect something."

"This matter will be decided by one person from each of Heavenly Court, Xuanmen, and Huoyundong, and the person recommended by Huoyundong is you, the demoted river god of the two realms."

"Well, okay, I see, the Holy Emperors fell in love with each other by mistake, but I just don't know who the other one is?"

What Nezha said about Xuanmen probably meant that the Human Sect and the Chan Jiao had a quota together. Lin Yun thought that Nezha should be considered a member of the Heavenly Court, but he didn't know who was from the Human Sect or the Chan Jiao.

"I took up the quota in Xuanmen, and the quota in Heaven was given to my eldest brother Yang Jian."

Nezha used the Xuanmen quota, which surprised Lin Yun a little, but it was considered normal.

Lin Yun looked at the gold medal in Nezha's hand and had a doubt.

"To become the patron saint of the twelve zodiac signs, do you need to be on the golden list, and be bound to the soul like the god list?"

If it is the same as the list of gods, and the soul needs to be bound here, the position of the guardian god of the twelve zodiac signs will not be so popular.

"No need. I also asked the Great Heavenly Lord that this golden list is only for canonization and will not bind the original god."

"That's good. By the way, Nezha, have you visited True Lord Erlang before coming here?"

"I haven't been to Big Brother's place yet, and the Great Heavenly Lord specifically asked me to come look for you first."

"Well, I haven't had much to do during the past two years. Let's set off to Guanjiang Estuary now."

Lin Yun has indeed stayed in these two rivers for a long time in the past few years. The spiritual energy here is not sufficient, it is not a place with extremely beautiful scenery, and there are few people. Lin Yun also wants to move.

"Okay, let's go now."

"By the way, Nezha, can I take the Sixth Princess of the West Sea with me?"

When Nezha heard this, he glanced between the two of them several times. With Nezha's intelligence, he naturally knew what Lin Yun was thinking. However, it seemed that teasing Lin Yun was a fun thing. The Sixth Princess liked it, and Nezha also liked it.

.

Nezha laughed twice, then came over and whispered: "Lord Luo Shen, do you know about this?"
