Qi Yuan casually walked around his mansion but lost all interest.
There are only a dozen or so houses in such a small courtyard. Although there are a few so-called exotic flowers and plants planted in the courtyard, they can only be used for ornamental purposes. There is not even a single elixir. There really is none.
Something nice to see.
Returning to the front hall, Qi Yuan casually dismissed the two attendants who were following him.
If she's not a pretty little maid, why are you always following him?
Sitting cross-legged on the futon, Qi Yuan calmed down and thought about it.
Although it is said that he asked for the position of Kitchen God himself from the leader of Tongtian Cult, he has not obtained the position of God before, and his understanding of Shinto is only superficial. He does not know how the gods work in detail.
Of.
But now that he has been enshrined as a god, he only needs to pass the seal and ribbon in the sea of consciousness to learn more about his priesthood.
Now he already knows some of the skills and abilities of the gods, and also knows how he can control the fires of people's homes and how to monitor the good and evil in the world.
To put it bluntly, you still need to develop believers.
Only when others believe in him can he perceive the existence of believers through the seal and ribbon, and can even use the seal and ribbon to differentiate his spiritual thoughts to detect the other party's situation.
The reason why he needs to pass the seal is because he is not a pure god, but an immortal.
For those gods who have condensed their divine bodies through the List of Gods, they do not need to be as troublesome as Qi Yuan, because their priesthood has been integrated with them. If they want to know anything, they can directly use their spiritual thoughts to investigate.
However, the gods are not so idle, and of course they will not stare at the believers every day. After all, this also requires the consumption of divine power.
Therefore, most of the time, gods do not respond to believers.
Only the most loyal believers are more likely to gain the perception of gods through pure faith.
The divine thoughts of the gods can be divided into thousands of forms. As long as there are believers, they can differentiate into one divine thought and place it on the idols or tablets where believers believe in them.
If Qi Yuan wants to perceive all the people in the world, he must make all the people believe in him.
Of course, the belief here does not mean that one must believe in it wholeheartedly. Even if he does not take this god seriously in his heart, as long as his family pays tribute to his god, he can use it to create a reaction.
According to Qi Yuan's understanding, the Jiuzhou people's belief in gods has always been quite peculiar. Everyone can believe in many gods at the same time.
They can offer tribute to the Kitchen God in the kitchen at home, the God of Wealth in the living room, and post the Door God on the door. They can burn incense sticks when they encounter the Earth Temple when they go out, and they can also worship when they encounter the Dragon King Temple to pray for good weather.
But these beliefs are just like doing business. Since I burn incense for you, you have to do things for me. If you don't do things, the incense I give you will definitely be reduced, or even directly replaced by other gods.
Among humans, the most common phenomenon is that which god is more effective, then the incense of this god will increase hundreds of times in a short period of time.
For example, for those who are begging for a child, as long as word spreads that someone somewhere begs for an heir and gets a response, as long as the news spreads, people within a hundred or ten miles nearby will come one after another, and the incense will continue every day.
But if there is no response, it will also become empty and no one will care.
Of course, most of this phenomenon refers to ordinary small gods. For those great gods who have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, they do not lack faith.
Qi Yuan squinted his eyes and thought about things.
He was thinking that with his reputation among the people, as long as he worked harder, maybe within a few years, all the people of Kyushu would recognize the existence of his kitchen god.
By that time, even if it no longer develops believers, the people will not cut off its incense.
The only problem now is that there is no paper yet, so the portrait of the Kitchen God cannot be widely circulated. Otherwise, his incense will definitely spread faster.
However, Qi Yuan had no idea of inventing papermaking by himself.
Even if the emergence of paper would definitely bring him great humanitarian merit, he would not do it.
Because the development of the human race has never pinned all hopes on one person, but requires generations of wise men to guide and pass on, so that the human race can eventually reach its peak.
Otherwise, with his current methods, it would be very easy to obtain some humane merits.
It's just that he has already taken the immortal way and is still taking care of the divine way. There is no need to compete for other people's opportunities, so he wants to leave these opportunities to those who originally gained merit, so as to cultivate more wise men for the human race and add more to the Hall of Saints.
Sage, add some foundation.
After all, he is not practicing the way of a sage, so it is not of much use to have so many humane merits.
Qi Yuan planned the route he needed to take next, and after he had a rough idea in his mind, he was ready to leave Heavenly Court.
He himself is a god in the lower world, and there is nothing wrong with him staying in heaven. It is useless to stay longer, so he should go down as soon as possible.
The mountain-protecting formation that his master, Master Tongtian, promised him to refine, has not been given to him yet. If he returns too late, and Master Tongtian has already moved Jin'ao Island to Tianwaitian, he will regret it to death.
"Master, are you going out? Do you need a little guide?"
When two attendants saw Qi Yuan going out, they hurriedly came forward to ask questions.
They have stayed in Heaven for a long time and are more familiar with the roads of Heaven than Qi Yuan.
"Need not."
Qi Yuan shook his head and said: "I have a special priesthood. I will spend most of my time in the lower world from now on. You can just handle the matters in the house yourself."
The two attendants looked at each other, responded quickly, and respectfully sent him out of the house.
For them, it would be better if Qi Yuan is not here. They are already very depressed when they are assigned to this small mansion. Now that Qi Yuan is not here, they can also be lazy. Otherwise, if the owner of the mansion is busy every day,
Now, they also need to clean the inside and outside of the mansion every day.
Speaking of Qi Yuan's priesthood, it is also interesting. He actually has no other boss except the Jade Emperor, and he only needs to be responsible to the Jade Emperor.
In other words, whether Qi Yuan does good or bad things on his own divine throne is entirely up to the Jade Emperor, and others have no right to interfere in his affairs.
This made Qi Yuan very satisfied, otherwise he would definitely not feel comfortable if there were a large number of leaders supervising him above his head.
Needless to say, this must be the trick of Master Tongtian, otherwise he, a mere god with a low position, would not be directly responsible to the Jade Emperor, and he could just be attached to other departments.
Since the gods had just arrived in Heaven at this time, they were not as free as Qi Yuan. They must have a lot of things to do and were busy familiarizing themselves with their respective priesthoods. Therefore, Qi Yuan did not say hello to his fellow disciples and went directly to the Nantian Gate.
Fly away, planning to go down to the next world.
After arriving at Nantianmen, you can see from a distance that all the four heavenly kings guarding Tianmen are here.
There are four portals in and out of the heaven. The four heavenly kings were supposed to guard one portal respectively, but today they were just consecrated to the status of gods, so they first came to the territory of the boss Mo Liqing to discuss with him how to guard the heaven gate in the future.
Responsibility issues.
After seeing the figures of these four people from a distance, Qi Yuan suddenly felt a little guilty.
Because, after the four brothers died in Xiqi, he quietly sneaked into the military camp and touched the treasures from their bodies.
At that time, he had not yet worshiped Zhao Gongming as his teacher. He was still just a casual cultivator with a shallow cultivation base and a shallow eyelid. He thought everything was a treasure, so he would do such a thing.
Now that I think about it, I actually feel quite embarrassed.
Especially now, when he thought about encountering them when he entered and exited Tianmen in the future, Qi Yuan regretted what he had done.
However, he was a thick-skinned person after all, and he quickly calmed down and walked over as if nothing happened.
When the four heavenly kings saw Qi Yuan approaching, they quickly clasped their fists and saluted.
The boss, Mo Liqing, asked politely: "Master Fu, are you going to the lower realm?"
Although Qi Yuan's priesthood is not high, the four generals of the Demon Family were on the list relatively early, and they did not deal with the Chanjiao side. When they had nothing to do, they got to know some of the Jiejiao disciples who were on the list. Later, they also heard that
Having mentioned Qi Yuan's reputation, we know that he is a very famous figure among the third generation disciples of Jie Jiao.
In addition, their brothers are all casual cultivators, and now they are just guards guarding Tianmen. How can they dare to be disrespectful to Qi Yuan.
"The kings are so polite."
Qi Yuan chuckled and bowed to them kindly: "I am responsible for the fire in the mortal world, so it is more convenient to go to the lower world."
When the four generals of the Mo family saw Qi Yuan's kind tone, they were of course even more polite. They chatted for a while, and when they saw Qi Yuan was about to leave, they hurriedly sent them to the Nantian Gate. Mo Liqing said: "Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work. I will wait for you."
Where a person's duty lies, he will not be far away."
"I don't dare, I don't dare, these kings are too polite."
Qi Yuan quickly bowed his hands and said a few polite words, then said goodbye and left.
He was already feeling a little guilty, but the fact that the fourth general of the Demon Family seemed to want to make friends with him made him even more uncomfortable.
However, if there is an opportunity in the future, you might as well help them.
After all, the current strength of these heavenly kings has only returned to the state before they were listed on the list. If they want to be comparable to the immortals, it depends on how quickly they accumulate incense.
Although the four generals of the Demon Family served as generals in Jiameng Pass before they were listed as gods, their brothers were self-reliant in their own abilities and had somewhat proud personalities. They left everything to their subordinates to do their daily tasks.
With their temperament, it is somewhat difficult to develop believers and get people to offer incense.
Qi Yuan thought that he might as well help them in the future, which would be considered as repaying the original cause and effect, and he could also make good friends with them.
Although the four heavenly kings are just guards guarding the Tianmen and are not considered to have high positions, the place they guard is quite crucial. If you make good friends with them, you may be able to ask them to provide cover at some point, or to spy on other immortals.
The record of God entering and leaving the Heavenly Gate.
Just like when Fuyuan Immortal and others let their disciples go down to the next world, if it hadn't been for someone to investigate, they really wouldn't have known that their disciples had gone down to the next world.
After making this decision, Qi Yuan felt relieved immediately.
It was only now that he had some understanding of the way of cause and effect.
Although no one else knows what he did back then, even if this kind of thing can be deceived from heaven and earth, it cannot be hidden from his own heart.
If there is guilt in the heart, the Taoist mind will be blocked, and if the Taoist mind is idle, it will be detrimental to the practice.
Therefore, even though the four generals of the Demon Family did not know about the original incident, Qi Yuan was still willing to develop followers for them and repay the cause and effect.
After Qi Yuan got off Nantianmen, he did not go to Jin'ao Island immediately, but first went to Guanjiang Estuary.
He had previously made an agreement with Yang Chan to return to Jin'ao Island together after he finished consecrating himself to the gods.
Because Yang Chan wanted to stay with her mother and could not follow Yunxiao to Tianwaitian, she planned to take this time to return to Jin'ao Island with Qi Yuan to say goodbye to her master.
Qi Yuan flew rapidly with sword light and arrived at the mouth of Guanjiang River in a short time.
At this time Yang Jian had returned.
He did not go to heaven with the gods.
Because he doesn't know how he should face his uncle now.
So he simply returned to Guanjiangkou first, and when his mother returned to heaven, he would go with her to pay homage to the Jade Emperor.
Yunhua's complexion is much better now. After being nourished by the previous spiritual meals, and with her now restored mana, she can practice normally.
For an immortal like her, who is at the pinnacle of Taiyi Xuanxian, she can recover quickly as long as her roots are not damaged.
