When Pei Shiju heard this, he wanted to say a few words. After all, he had been a scholar since he was a child, and he had read books about sages and sages. He was very particular about respecting ghosts and gods and staying away from them. Naturally, he didn't want to involve too many ghosts and gods.
But looking at his mother's appearance, he could see that he didn't say anything disobedient, or he nodded his head honestly.
Pei's mother was filled with joy when she saw it.
After bidding farewell to his mother, Pei Shiju was not idle. He first called the steward who was accompanying his mother and asked his mother in detail about her visit to the gods.
"This time, the mistress was invited by the old lady of the Cui family to go to the bank of the river to worship Buddha. As a result, she heard that Lord He was magical and was invited by the local magistrate, so she went to the temple. It happened that Lord He appeared.
When my mother saw that the cold for many years had been cured without medicine, she felt so powerful that she wanted to ask the gods!"
As the man spoke, there was some yearning and longing in his eyes, and there was even a hint of fanaticism in his tone, saying: "Young Master, if you have leisure, why not go to Hejun Temple to offer incense?
This will go well!"
"The official career matters are all about oneself. How can gods and ghosts help?" Pei Shiju laughed. Seeing that the man was still waiting to talk, he said bluntly: "I have heard people say in the past that there are ghosts and gods in the world, but there are ghosts and ghosts in the world."
As long as you study with a straight heart, you will naturally be supported by the awe-inspiring aura, not to mention that the place of the court condenses the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and the wishes of all people. It is difficult for ghosts and gods to interfere, so worshiping gods is naturally useless."
As he was talking, seeing the steward's uneasy expression, he comforted him: "In any case, my mother's expression has indeed changed. This god can still be invited. But what is the origin of this Lord of the River? Do you know the details?"
"I heard that it has been around since ancient times, and it is very effective. In the past, many people suffered disasters because they offended this Lord of the River..." The steward hesitated and said a few words, although he tried his best to describe this.
God is majestic, but what he says are all He Jun's actions in the past. After all, it is difficult to do anything good.
However, when my young master inquired about it, he did not dare to deceive, so he could at most hide it a little.
Sure enough, the more Pei Shiju listened, the more he frowned. In the end, he just said: "After all, there are some supernatural beings, you can still invite them, but they can't be placed in the back house..." After thinking for a moment, he made a decision, "Put them in the front yard.
Well, it's closer to my study, so that I can control it with the sage's energy, so as not to cause any strange things in the back house. If my mother wants to worship God, she can come to the front yard to worship. Anyway, the door of the house can be closed then."
He said it in a tone that was almost commanding. The person in charge could only say that after asking Mother Pei for instructions, he still led the people and moved the altar to the front yard.
Three days later, the altar was built, but it was empty inside, with only an empty altar.
Then it’s time to ask God.
The so-called inviting gods actually means inviting the statues of gods into your home.
All the gods that are being worshiped are usually registered with the government, have temples, temple blessings, and a series of rules and regulations. It is not just a statue of a god that you can just build at home and worship as a true god.
Pei Shiju read some miscellaneous talks and saw some records in it. It was said that some families, because they could not afford the gods and wanted the blessings of the gods, carved wooden statues in their own homes to worship the gods according to the appearance of the gods in the temple.
Evil gods and ghosts appeared, and finally met with bad luck.
Therefore, inviting gods into your home is never a casual matter.
After I went to the nearest Hejun Temple and made an agreement with him, I waited for another five or six days before someone came to transport the statue, along with temple blessings. After performing some rituals at Pei Shiju's house, I was allowed to leave.
The idol settled down.
"Is this Mr. He? It's a little different from what I imagined."
Seeing his mother leading a group of servants to worship the god there, Pei Shiju observed the statue of the god and saw that the outline of the river god was not the armored general he imagined. Instead, he looked like a scholar in a blue shirt.
After hearing what her son said, Pei's mother paid homage and said, "I heard that the appearance of Lord He's statue also changes on its own. Because of this, many people know that the god appears and become more pious."
After finishing speaking, she added: "The statue is in the front yard and next to your study. Remember to burn incense from time to time in the future. Don't neglect it."
Pei Shiju nodded and said, "Don't worry, mother, my son will keep it in mind."
Seeing this, Pei's mother left with satisfaction.
A few days later, several people from Pei Shiju came to visit. They sat down in the pavilion in his courtyard and saw the altar at a glance.
"This is... the statue of River Lord? I didn't expect that Brother Pei, you actually worship this god!"
Pei Shiju explained the reason, and some of his friends laughed. Some people also mentioned their own family, saying that the reputation of the Lord of the River has been getting more and more popular recently, and many wealthy families in Hedong have invited statues of the god into their homes.
"Is there such a thing?" Pei Shiju was greatly surprised. After a few friends left, he came to the statue and looked at it carefully. The more he looked, the more surprised and doubtful he became.
The eyes of Gain's statue were supposed to be just stone carvings, but when he stared at them, he actually felt like he was being spied on.
"It's really weird! Weird!"
.
.
"He is worthy of being a figure who will leave his name in history. Although he has never practiced spiritual practice, he relies on his luck and knowledge to almost have spiritual awareness!"
The awe-inspiring statue, Chen Cuo's will is entrenched in it.
This is not all of his will, but after he has a deeper understanding of the way of the gods, it is not difficult to turn his will into a network and scatter it everywhere, as long as he has a basis and a fulcrum.
The idol is undoubtedly an ideal fulcrum.
After extensively absorbing the feedback from many believers in Hedong, Chen Cuo quickly noticed Pei Shiju's house.
"This Pei Shiju should be the later Pei Ju. He changed his name because he avoided the name of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. As a historical celebrity, he has great luck. In addition, he is also surrounded by a strong aura of awe-inspiring. It is time to study
Raised for learning.”
Through the eyes of the statue, Chen Cuo could see the rich ripples of luck on Pei Shiju's body, as well as layers of aura of awe, covering his destiny and inner being.
This aura of awe-inspiringness was no stranger to him. Shen Zunli of Nanchen was a practitioner of both civil and martial arts. After concentrating on Confucianism and Taoism, he developed aura of awe-inspiring aura.
"This aura of awe-inspiring, hazy, like a barrier, can isolate spiritual consciousness, and the exploration of spiritual consciousness, the stronger it is, the greater the effect on gods and ghosts. If it reaches a certain level, it may be able to drink it to make ghosts and ghosts
Retreat! However, this Confucianism and Taoism are incomplete and have limits. In short, they are of great research value."
In view of this, Chen Cuo's attention was mainly focused on Pei Shiju in the following days.
As a result, within a few days, there was a harvest.
A letter came in the mail. After Pei Shiju took it out, he looked at it a few times and a name came out of his mouth——
"Pu Liurujian's marriage contract has unexpected changes?"
This letter is very long, covering three pages.
After reading it over and over again, Pei Shiju couldn't help but sigh.
A few days later, another friend came to visit and happened to talk to him about this incident.
His friend said: "Yang Jian was born in the Yin Yang family. Now he calls himself Hu. He just values the power of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. However, he did not expect that the marriage contract with the Dugu family failed to come true. This may be a precursor to the Yang family's loss of power.
