Gan Yu put down his bamboo basket and stood aside as a disciple. After a long time, he asked, "What book are you reading, sir?"
"Oh, it's just a folk story. Its name is "Guanglin Zhiyi"... it's a miscellany. If you want to study for the imperial examination, you can't be distracted. It's better to just read the Taoist scriptures."
Fang Xi picked up the tea cup next to her, took a sip of coarse tea, and lectured.
This rough tea is just average. It is made randomly in the shop, but it has a unique wild flavor.
"That's right, sir."
Gan Yu devoted himself to being taught.
"When you are polite to others, you must ask for something...I already know everything about your intention."
Fang Xi turned around and walked into the house. Not long after, she came out holding several thread-bound books: "The Taoist Scriptures have thirty-six volumes, and I only have eighteen volumes here. You can come and borrow three volumes at a time...
Remember to return them immediately after all, after all, I still need to rely on these "Tao Jing" to teach my boss's children!"
"Thank you sir for your kindness..."
There was a trace of sobs in Gan Yu's tone. It was a great kindness to Mr. Fang that he could borrow the book without hesitation...
…
"Scholar...ha..."
After Gan Yu held the three Taoist scriptures in his arms and walked away, Fang Xi smiled and continued to read miscellaneous books.
From these miscellaneous books, you can learn more about this world.
Although most of them are conjectures and rumors, after peeling off the cocoons, we can also get a glimpse of part of the truth...
For example, this book "Guanglin Zhiyi" records an anecdote about a "Wei Zhifu", saying that he "worked as a magistrate during the day and a city god at night." Because of his priesthood, he could not approach Taoism.
A monk from Yehu Chan deliberately stood in front of the official sedan chair and wanted to show off his magical powers and promote Buddhism. As a result, he was held down by several government officials and beaten to death...
"This world is quite strange. The imperial court is not called the imperial court, it is called 'Daoting', but the ruler is still the emperor..."
Fang Xi turned to another page, which told the story of a filial son named "Wang Liulang" who moved the world with his filial piety, and finally became a god after his death and was able to ascend to heaven.
Before that, he had read an anecdote from unofficial history. It was said that there was a certain generation of emperors in the previous dynasty who were foolish and immoral, and all the officials died to remonstrate. They were called "Hundred Righteousness", and it became a popular story.
But according to Fang Xi's understanding, they probably all have priesthoods. For these people, death is not a fear, but a relief, so they all strike out and ascend to godhood!
Snapped!
Fang Xi put down the book in his hand, and the various strange stories and interesting stories he had read over the past few days... were like peeling off cocoons, revealing a whole new world to him.
"In the Shinto world...therefore the ruler is called the Son of Heaven, not the Emperor of Humans."
"In addition, from time to time, there are legends about heavenly messengers, as well as heavenly talismans, ascending to godhood, etc. It seems that mortals can do it. As long as there is a spirit after death, the Yinling can be made a god.
?!"
"Heaven? Heaven governs the world, Dao governs people..."
Fang Xi inexplicably thought of the huge Zhongqian World. Now it seemed that it should be the rumored location of the Thirty-three Heavens.
There seems to be no strong interface between this heaven and this human world.
Whether it is the ascension of gods or the decree from heaven, although it is not common, it is not uncommon either.
In comparison, the barriers between the human world and the immortal world are extremely terrifying.
'It seems that this is the special feature of the Thousand Worlds here... that you can communicate with the small world below it at any time?'
'Furthermore, the mainstream system does not seem to be one of refining qi and cultivating immortals... but 'teaching qi', and it follows the 'spiritual way'...'
'Practitioners in this world must pass the imperial examination and pass the "Jinshi" examination of the Taoist court. Only then can they be qualified to register in Taoist books and teach Taoist teachings. From then on, they will be named Tiancao and have Taoist priesthood... Only when they have the priesthood can they
Appoint an official!'
Fang Xi thought of the "Guanglin Zhiyi" that she had seen. As long as they were officials, they were full of demons and ghosts. Some monks and alchemists were even more difficult to show their supernatural powers in person.
It is claimed to the outside world that it is protected by official energy and protected by dragon energy, suppressing the five elements and prohibiting all laws!
In fact, it’s because they themselves are gods! They have a priesthood! That’s why they can be saints and not ghosts!
"Officials of the Taoist court can rule people during the day and ghosts at night... Even after death, their souls will not be extinguished, and they will directly merge with the priesthood. They will truly achieve the golden body of a righteous god. Those with great merits can even directly ascend to heaven and become officials... Therefore, death
For them, it is a kind of relief worth looking forward to... Only hundreds of officials directly remonstrated. This is not because they are loyal and courageous, but because they all have a way out..."
"The Shinto system? It's interesting..."
Fang Xi touched her chin.
He observed the Tugong day and night about this system and already knew a thing or two about its secrets.
Specifically, through the Shinto talisman, the power of incense is gathered in the place, the golden body is shaped, and the divine power is extracted...
"In this way, it is almost equivalent to being bound to a believer, and will be infiltrated by the poison of incense, and will have the misfortune of 'losing myself', and it is difficult to be free and easy because of responsibilities..."
"With so many disadvantages, the advantage is that there are no requirements for qualifications, and once achieved, the cultivation level is so powerful that it is almost far beyond that of the same immortal cultivators..."
After all, immortal cultivators are just the strength of one person, while Shinto gods are the strength of many people!
"But... the biggest disadvantage is that at such a Shinto level, without promotion from your superiors, it is almost impossible to advance in your lifetime!"
"So many levels of enfeoffment and support...how terrifying would it be for the Emperor of Heaven in the end?"
Fang Xi suddenly thought of the powerful threat she felt when she wanted to go to Zhongqian World.
With the tight net of Shinto, even if he casts a spell to attract a spiritual rain, the Lord of the Land will notice it.
If something goes wrong in the middle world of Heaven, I am afraid that the ‘Emperor of Heaven’ will notice it in an instant!
This is equivalent to an existence that unifies the immortal world plus three thousand worlds, and it is also a local snake of Shinto!
Fang Xi even doubted that even if a true immortal came, this 'Emperor of Heaven' would be able to suppress it...
Therefore, it was definitely the most correct decision that he did not choose to go directly to the Thirty-Three Heavenly Palaces at the beginning.
"It seems...that what you gain in this world should be a brand new Shinto cultivation system?"
Fang Xi murmured.
"It's just that... Shinto must teach you... it's too scary to be restricted by your superiors."
"It's better to find a guinea pig first and do the experiment on my behalf."
He is indeed very interested in this Shinto method.
This is not for self-cultivation.
Fang Xi only wanted to become an immortal and live happily, so she was too lazy to do the hard work of Shinto.
It's just that... he thought of his group of subordinates from the Kyushu Realm.
Without even analyzing the Taiyi Sutra, he knew that this Shinto system was a perfect match for the Kyushu realm!
Even the Taoist court has never ruled more than 100 million people.
There are tens of billions of people in Kyushu Realm. This is the convenience brought to the common people after the great development of science and technology!
Moreover, there are still billions of people who have received basic education, are outstanding in all aspects, and can be considered high-quality believers!
Not to mention, in the Earthly Immortal Realm, after occupying Xiankong Island, you can also carry out environmental transformation and encourage births. The population of Kyushu Realm can definitely experience an exponential surge!
How terrifying must the gods spawned by this power of faith be?
"Powerful enough to be able to achieve success quickly... More importantly, it is easy to be suppressed by superiors... It is indeed a system that is quite suitable for me. It can easily cultivate a large number of subordinates who are comparable to returning to the void and merging monks... When the time comes, even if they are purged
It is enough for the scum of the human race in the Earthly Immortal World to avenge Master Fangxian and reverse the trend of the Immortal Cultivation World..."
The death of Taoist Master Fangxian is the pain in the hearts of the monks in the Jiuzhou Realm.
However, if he is killed in a river of blood and is taken advantage of by the demons and monsters in vain, he will become a sinner of the entire human race.
The best thing is to kill the person who deserves to be killed and immediately have a large number of high-level monks to take over.
Even with the development of the Kyushu Realm, it is unrealistic to accumulate so much top-level combat power without tens of thousands of years of accumulation.
But now, with the Shinto system, everything is different.
The leap-forward development of Kyushu is right in front of you!
Of course, everything will have to wait until Fang Xi personally inspects it before a final conclusion can be made.
But judging from the information collected so far, this Shinto path does have some subtleties.
At least, Fang Xi felt that it would be a great thing for her to cultivate a group of gods' subordinates to supplement various chores in the future.
"First one, why not choose Gan Yu..."
Above Fang Xi's head, the sixth level Qi Luck Gu lay listlessly on the side.
He had checked Gan Yu's luck before with the help of this Gu, and he could only say that it was average.
Although there are some virtues, they have been almost exhausted. Now there is only a sliver left, and the literary spirit is not very full.
It is indeed a bit difficult to pass the "Tongsheng" examination.
As for studying hard?
There are many people who study hard in the world, and there are even some who study hard day and night until they vomit blood.
But should I fail the exam, I still can’t pass the exam.
"One is destiny, two is luck, three is feng shui, four is accumulation of yin virtue and five is reading... There are only a few ways to change one's destiny in this world."
"Since you are dormant in this world, don't use too many methods that are beyond the norm, but try to solve the problem within the framework first..."
It is actually not difficult for Gan Yu to pass the Tongsheng examination.
Fang Xi is now playing a guest role as a noble person, helping him to study.
After you have familiarized yourself with the thirty-six volumes of "Tao Jing", you can try the ending.
"Judging from the luck Gu, this person's luck is still a bit poor...but it doesn't matter."
Although Fang Xi is not very good at divination, she can find an opportunity that can help Gan Yu's luck based on the Luck Gu, and then make some suggestions, and everything will come true.
"Actually... if you directly use secret techniques to make the luck Gu feed back luck, it is also feasible..."
"But there are some troubles... After all, it is the method of the outside demon..."
With his spiritual consciousness sweeping across, the land of this village is difficult to detect at all.
And Fang Xi's consciousness left Baigan Village and spread to the outside world...
It didn't take long for his eyes to light up and he found an opportunity that could replenish Gan Yu's destiny...
