"The longevity of Shinto is extremely long. Today, I am actually the founding ancestor of Taoting..."
In the inn.
Fang Xi sat cross-legged and silently used the Qi Luck Gu to observe his Qi.
He turned his palm over and the 'Qingtong Jun's Treasure' appeared in his hand.
The incarnation of Shinto was stationed in Montenegro, so he brought these two things.
At this time, from the perspective of luck and cause and effect, the causes and effects attached to Qingtongjun's divine seal are converging, creating traction...
"It's almost time..."
A kind of enlightenment emerged in Fang Xi's heart.
Boom!
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
A smile appeared on Fang Xi's lips, and she saw Gan Yu pushing the door open and entering.
"I met the Great Sage in my later life..."
Gan Yu bowed respectfully and said: "Wansheng has already sent in his invitation, but it will take some time to wait for the Ministry of War to conduct reconnaissance. How about using Wansheng as a guide to introduce the scenery of the capital to the god? Wansheng paid a visit during this period.
I am a teacher and a friend of the same age, but I know something about the fall of the previous dynasty..."
"Oh? That's so wonderful."
Fang Xi's smile grew wider: "Lead the way... I heard that there are thirty-three scenic spots in this capital, and now I want to take a closer look."
"Apart from the fact that Qionglin Xuehai is out of place, the other scenery is pretty good..."
Gan Yu immediately bowed his hands and led the way.
…
"The thirty-three scenes in the capital are famous all over the world... For example, the courtesans and courtesans are naturally very beautiful and talented."
Gan Yu took Fang Xi with him, wearing bamboo sticks and mango shoes, and traveled from place to place, dressed lightly and simply.
After looking at the bustling scene of the Capital God's Temple, Gan Yu said leisurely.
"Haha, I didn't expect that a little scholar like you would have quite an insight into the scenery of the capital."
Fang Xi laughed: "What then?"
"It's just that such a famous scene is like a famous brothel. Although it is famous and the scenery is good, it has lost its wild charm. It is not as good as some small jade. Although it is not famous, it has its own charm..."
Gan Yu shook his head and said: "There are still a few places in the capital that are not well-known, but are quite worth visiting..."
"Well, lead the way... Even if it's the imperial palace, I can go there whenever I want."
Fang Xi meant what he meant.
Gan Yu's expression remained unchanged and he led the way like a conscientious tour guide: "The Great Sage knows that not far ahead, there is a place with great scenery and a story."
He stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the earth temple.
Fang Xi was greatly moved, but there was no trace of emotion on her face: "It's just a local temple, what does it mean?"
"This temple is different. It can survive under the Taoist Temple and the Capital God Temple. Naturally, there is a story... The Great Sage traveled around the world and naturally saw many earth temples. They only worshiped the land. Have you ever seen the earth god and the earth woman?
Two of you together?"
Gan Yu smiled.
"This... I have never seen it before."
Fang Xi recalled it, feeling a little hesitant.
"This temple worships both the Lord of the Earth and the Mother of the Earth at the same time. It is rare in the world... and it is also related to the fall of the previous dynasty."
Gan Yu took Fang Xi to the dilapidated earth temple that day.
The temple is still desolate, and there are dead leaves in front of the door. There is only an old woman with white hair and quail clothes, who is holding a broom and sweeping.
"Oh? Is it related to the fall of the previous dynasty? I would like to hear the details..."
Fang Xi and Gan Yu walked into the main entrance of Tutu Temple and showed an interested expression.
"then……"
The mottled shadows of the trees reflected on Gan Yu's face, making his expression also become gloomy and uncertain: "Heaven governs the world, and Shinto governs people... According to rumors, there are countless indescribable worlds like mine.
It is under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court, which is the way of heaven and governs the laws of heaven... Even if there is a dynasty that goes to war and the people rise up, it will only give the true dragon the dragon spirit, and it will not be given to just one person, but the world will fight for the dragon, and the winner will open another one.
New Dynasty."
"Therefore, even if the previous dynasty was rampant in corruption and the people were in dire straits, it would definitely not collapse suddenly... The collapse of the previous dynasty was actually... an accident."
"Accident?"
Fang Xi came to the main hall and saw the young Tugong, dressed in a yellow robe, looking very handsome and energetic, standing in the shrine.
Another shrine still only has a half-skirt sculpture left.
"Back then... the prince of the former dynasty was ordered to clarify the world's gods... First of all, he began to inspect the capital. The so-called clarification was actually to clean up the Mao gods with few believers and weakened divine powers, and at the same time to destroy the evil temples and obscene temples. This was a matter of clearing the source.
...When the prince obtains this power, he can gradually gather the power of Shinto, which is a sign of preparation for succession..."
Gan Yu said with a smile: "When the prince came out, he was accompanied by hundreds of gods. A single word could determine the rise or fall of the temple, raise or lower the level of the gods. The power was really unparalleled... After the investigation in Beijing, they came to this earth temple.
"
"At that time, there was little incense in the Tutu Temple. It was dedicated to Tu Tu Gong and Tu Tu Po... but these two gods were completely absent. When the prince saw this, he was furious and immediately ordered that the canonization be revoked and the temple be destroyed..."
"Wait a minute...where did this landlady go? When was this temple built?" Fang Xi asked with some confusion.
"Perhaps it was the previous dynasty, or maybe even longer... Who knows?" Gan Yu smiled: "The gods have a long life span, and they have experienced several dynasty changes. It has been difficult to find out what the original roots of the gods are... The subsequent imperial court will not know about those gods.
, mostly recognized based on divine power, faith, incense... one by one!"
Fang Xi understood that this was just like the change of dynasty in a mortal world.
If it is a family from the previous dynasty or a powerful local sect, it will basically be appeased and recognized, and the land deed of the previous dynasty will even be recognized as valid.
This is also a way to stabilize your rule!
The screening method depends on whether you still have strength!
If the power is strong, it will still be recognized. If the power is not strong, life and death will be taken.
In fact, it is better to bribe the powerful ones.
In Shinto, this performance is even more obvious.
After all, the strength of divine power can be determined at a glance.
The Earth Temple is almost the lowest level on earth, and since both gods have disappeared, it will naturally be razed to the ground to make room for it.
Originally, the temple of Tupo in this land was able to get away with it, but since the prince presided over the supervision of the Shinto, there was no other way.
"Then what?"
Fang Xi asked, looking at Tutu Po's shrine.
"That night... the prince had a dream. He dreamed that an old woman came to plead for mercy. She called herself Mrs. Tu Po Ming and begged the prince to leave the Tu Tu temple."
Gan Yu's voice seemed to have a hint of solemnity: "But when the prince woke up, he was furious... He called the little god An Ganyan to suppress me? He immediately ordered people to smash the Tu Tu Temple... I heard that the Tu Tu Temple was going to be demolished.
When the statue of Tutu Po flew out automatically, it blocked the blow, and then the statue of Tu Tu Po was exploded into pieces, leaving only this section of the base..."
"Soon, the earth dragon in the capital turned over. It is said that more than 100,000 people were killed and injured... The dragon energy of the previous dynasty was punished by heaven, and the national destiny was ruined. Only then did the founder of the Daoting Dynasty take advantage of the situation..."
"It is very rare for a person to be extremely prosperous but then fail incredibly quickly." Fang Xi also sighed: "Mrs. Ming? I wonder which god she is?"
Even the King of the City cannot do such a big thing.
And even if you do it, you will be punished by God!
That Mrs. Ming is obviously a terrifying existence in Shinto, and the so-called earth lady is just a disguise.
"The Ming One is Ming Ye... The so-called Mrs. Ming is naturally the 'Ming Ming Lady'!" Gan Yu seemed to be gritting his teeth and said.
"Mrs. Hades? Could it be the Queen of Hades?"
Fang Xi thought of a possibility.
There is the concept of reincarnation in this world. It is said that after the death of ordinary people, if they are not canonized by the court and do not become Yin gods, their souls will go to the underworld!
Even, not only this world, but all mortal souls under the jurisdiction of heaven should go to the underworld!
Although this female queen of the Underworld is still under the jurisdiction of the Emperor of Heaven, she is also a great prince.
Wave your hand to give the small world a small retribution, even if there is a backlash, it will be like a worm shaking a tree!
"Mrs. Hades?"
Fang Xi looked at the statue with only a skirt left, and couldn't help but remain silent: "The emotion... is quite touching, but there are some doubts in it. The former prince was not a fool. Shinto respects strength. He is a Shinto prince. In terms of quality,
His rank is almost higher than that of the first grade, and yet he was dreamed into by Mrs. Hades. Shouldn't he know that his divine power and personality are astonishing, and how dare he continue to do it?"
Although a person can do anything when he is angry, a person who can become a prince under the hands of the Shinto Emperor will not be so unwise.
"There is another doubt, that is, the Earth Lady is the Queen of the Underworld, so who is this Earth Lord?"
He looked at the young earth god, and felt that although the statue of the young man was mottled, his eyes were dark and deep, as if there was also a line of sight, hanging down from the nine heavens.
"Although the Queen of the Underworld is the noble of the Heavenly Lord and can even kill the Emperor at will... it is difficult to directly disrupt the destiny of a country. She must cause natural and man-made disasters and cause chaos in the world for decades."
Gan Yu sneered: "The only one who can cut off a realm of dragon energy and Tianzhu in a blink of an eye is 'Heaven'! That's what it means to have nothing to pray for if you sin against Heaven!"
"I see……"
Fang Xi looked at the young Earth God and couldn't help but be startled: "So it turns out that the Emperor of Heaven only had a piece of land in the beginning?"
The land position is very weak, and some villages and towns are big enough to be promoted to the ninth rank.
But like the Baigan Village where Gan Yu is located, there is no divine product at all, and it is no different from an official!
To climb from such a humble status to the supreme position of Emperor of Heaven is truly inspiring.
From Fang Xi's point of view, it's like there is a mortal in the human world who has become a true immortal through cultivation!
"Exactly!"
Gan Yusurong said: "The prince of the previous dynasty was ignorant and dared to destroy the sacrifice of the Emperor of Heaven and the Queen of the Underworld, which led to the annihilation of the national destiny of the court... The Taoist court took this as a warning, but also buried the matter deeply and did not allow anyone to know about it."
"So, you are not Gan Yu."
Fang Xi looked at 'Gan Yu' and smiled.
"Exactly!"
On 'Gan Yu''s body, a purple-green aura soared into the sky, and there was also a sacrificial text from the Emperor: "I, Prime Minister Shanhe, would like to report to Heaven that an evil god from outside the territory has invaded our world. I ask the Emperor of Heaven to tell the truth and punish him!"
