In the thirty-second year of Emperor Wen'an, the Emperor of the Xi Kingdom died of illness. The old emperor's death suddenly aroused the conflicts in the Xi Kingdom. The palace suddenly split into several factions and began to seize power with real swords and guns. The general led the troops
He entered the capital, bloodbathed other factions, deposed the prince, established his nephew as the new emperor, assumed the position of prime minister, and took charge of the government.
This rough fighting method immediately angered several other parties.
On the same day that the new emperor ascended the throne, rebellions broke out in many parts of the Xi Kingdom, and even the vassal king directly denied the new emperor's status, calling him a usurper and seeking to oust the emperor.
In this environment, natural disasters are even more severe.
The Xi Kingdom has completely entered the final stage of the dynasty.
Inside Linjiang City.
Lu Chuan, dressed in black attire, was sitting in the city lord's palace, with civil and military personnel on both sides below.
Seven years have passed since the Black Dang Mountain incident. In the seven years since the dream incident, the Black Dang Mountain God and the Taoist have disappeared, as if they had never appeared.
In the past few years, Lu Chuan took advantage of the advantage of knowing that the chaos was about to break out in advance, and made plans in advance to seize the position of county guard by force, and reported it to the court for approval. During this period, he continued to accumulate personal strength, accumulate food, and gradually became famous.
Wang also trained more than 60,000 elite soldiers in the name of suppressing bandits. He was already considered the largest local force in the Qingzhou area.
In order to appease him, the King of Qingzhou sent an envoy to ask for a reward for him. He had just been promoted to the third level not long ago. Now Lu Chuan is already the prefect of Linjiang.
"My lord, Prince Ning invited us to attack the capital together and bring order to the chaos. He also promised that if we succeed in eliminating the bandits, we will go to the emperor and grant my lord the title of Three Dukes."
A middle-aged scribe presented the document he had just obtained to Lu Chuan.
"Sangong? Our King Ning is very generous."
Lu Chuan laughed loudly, took the thief's plea, glanced at it, and threw it aside.
"The twelve princes are all rats!"
He knew very well what the so-called "loyal ministers and righteous men" were trying to do. After all, he was also one of the "loyal ministers and righteous men".
"Tell Prince Ning that we, Linhai County, will definitely send an edict to suppress the bandits."
"promise."
The scribe withdrew in response, and there was a secretary beside him to respond.
After finishing his daily affairs, Lu Chuan left the main hall and went to the backyard. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a man named Fang waiting at the door.
"Lord!"
In seven years, a lot of things can be changed. For example, Lu Chuan grew up to be a prince, and the man named Fang also became a military commander under Lu Chuan's name. With Lu Chuan's current status, there is naturally no shortage of ordinary military commanders. Now his subordinates,
Only those in the Yuanshen realm are qualified to be generals, and those who can be trusted confidants are at least heavenly beings.
However, generals can be sought, but loyalty is hard to find.
The man surnamed Fang is also very aware of this, so in these years, he has been mainly responsible for helping Lu Chuan handle some dirty work. Even if he is only in the golden body level, he still occupies a position under Lu Chuan today. No one in Linhai dares to
Look down on him.
"The Taoist priest showed up again."
Lu Chuan, who was walking, paused and then continued walking forward.
"Where?"
"Heidangshan Temple."
Investigating matters related to the Black Dang Mountain God is the most important thing in the hands of the man surnamed Fang, and it is also the first priority assigned to him by Lu Chuan. As Lu Chuan has grown in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer old brothers available in the past.
He died in battle, and he was the only one left who had experienced the adventure in Black Dang Mountain together.
"Temple? So his purpose is faith."
Lu Chuan said to himself.
For him to be so successful in the past few years, the dominoes that the Taoist gave him played a big role. No one in Linhai County knew that their lord was blessed by the gods.
It is precisely because of knowing that I am more afraid.
Over the years, Lu Chuan has been thinking of ways to test the purpose of Heidangshan God and the Taoist. The idea of building the temple came to him not long ago. Unexpectedly, not long after the temple was completed, the Taoist who had disappeared for seven years would appear.
Appeared again.
"Just ask for something..."
Lu Chuan was determined.
Those who have no desires or demands are the most terrifying. Once there is something to ask for, the identities of the two parties will be reversed. No matter what monsters or monsters you have, you must sit down and talk to him.
At that time, everyone's status will be equal.
"Continue to follow. No matter what the other party's requirements are, they must be met."
After giving the new order, Lu Chuan entered the room.
As the princes' meeting approached, he also had many things to deal with, and it was impossible for him to focus all his attention on a small matter like before.
Black Dangshan Temple.
This temple was built by the prefect Lu Chuan in one year using the young people in the county. It is truly magnificent.
In the temple, a statue of the same god as the original Heidangshan is enshrined.
Inside, there are also professional Taoists who are responsible for praying, interpreting signatures, etc. Everything has been completely integrated with the culture of Xiguo. Now this place has become a landmark building in Linhai City, and many dignitaries will come here.
Seek peace.
Pilgrims coming and going kowtow and make wishes under the statue.
A graceful and beautiful woman kowtows and makes a wish below, with a pious look on her face.
"Bless me with a son."
After making her wish, the beautiful woman stood up and offered incense.
Turn around and leave.
"I want to make a lot of money, more money than I can spend in my lifetime. Lord Black God will bless me."
Fatty Valley makes a wish and kowtows.
One after another.
All living things.
As the enshrined God of Black Dang Mountain, Wu Chong can clearly hear everyone's wishes. If he is willing, he can even raise his hand to help these people fulfill their wishes.
But, what’s the point of this?
"The temple is quite impressive, but the offerings are a bit redundant."
Wu Chong stood in the Taoist temple, looking at the pilgrims coming and going, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
What he cultivates is not the path of gods and incense.
The offerings of these mortals had no effect on him at all.
For him, it doesn't matter whether these people believe in him or not. What he needs is a 'god', a kind of engraving. When countless people feel in their hearts that his 'Black Dangshan God' is real, their souls
The corresponding "Black Dangshan God" will appear in the world. At that time, he will be considered a real "god".
This kind of belief will not work just because of one or two apparitions. It requires time and real power. Just like someone in the real world tells you that a god just passed by your door, you may laugh it off.
.But if someone told you that a basin of water was poured on your doorstep, you would definitely not doubt it.
This is the impact of real and illusory.
What the spiritual world needs is this kind of ‘belief’!
Everything in the great world of Shimo relies on the spiritual world.
What Wu Chong needs is the power of the spiritual world. Just look at the indifferent faith and the so-called incense. To deal with this thing is to ignore the fundamentals and pursue the inferior.
Lu Chuan thought he found Wu Chong's needs, but in fact, what he 'saw' was what Wu Chong wanted him to see. Only Wu Chong himself knew what he really needed.
