The neighbors watched, some lowered their eyes, while others shook their heads secretly. Judging from the conditions of the two previous shrines, this shrine might also be cleared.
Not only outsiders thought this way, but Ci Zhu, who was kowtowing and begging for mercy, also thought so. Tears welled up in his eyes, but he knew he had no other choice but to beg for mercy!
The screams that came from before could be heard clearly because they were so close!
In this case, if he died alone, he would die, but if his wife, children, children, and the whole family died together with his disciples, it would be a great sin!
Ci Zhu was already determined to die. He knew that if he splashed the statue with dog's blood and the statue was destroyed, he, Ci Zhu, who was inextricably related to the gods, would also die!
Ancestral Zhu is also willing to be buried with the gods. If it is death, let's die together. I just hope that the king can forgive his family!
He kept kowtowing at the temple and burst into tears.
"Whether it's good or evil, life or death is all a matter of one thought." Su Ziji sighed in his heart, isn't he fighting just to transcend this fate?
Without saying anything, he looked directly at Huidao, who took a step forward and looked inside.
However, this time, the statue of the god has a layer of aura floating on it. It is not as gray as the two statues, but has a clear color.
The light was faint, but Huidao's slightly frowned eyebrows relaxed. He looked towards King Dai and nodded: "This god has no serious sins."
Although this spiritual light is not strong, and there may not be much incense at ordinary times, he has not become ashes, nor has he done anything evil.
This should be a decent ordinary little god. He receives incense from believers in the capital and does some things for believers. He has probably been sleeping for these years. Now that he wakes up, he is an honest god.
Su Ziji didn't speak, but he was overjoyed when he heard this!
No big sin!
These four words mean a long and peaceful life!
Zhu Zhu was not stupid, he immediately understood. Thinking of the rumors about the two destroyed shrines just now, it must be that the court and the king destroyed all the evil shrines, but his own family was not. This was an opportunity!
As long as you seize the opportunity, you can live, your family can live, and the gods you believe in can continue to exist!
Temple Zhu quickly kowtowed and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, my Yuze God Temple has never done anything illegal or forbidden. I am willing to use my head as a guarantee!"
Yuze God?
Su Ziji looked at the ordinary-looking statue of the god, but because of the name of the god, he was a little bit dissatisfied with the little god.
"The way a saint king is to organize sacrifices is to offer sacrifices to the people if he applies the law, to offer sacrifices to those who work diligently through death, to offer sacrifices to those who rule the country through hard work, to offer sacrifices to those who can prevent great disasters, and to offer sacrifices to those who can defend against great dangers."
To put it bluntly, it can only be worshiped if it has done meritorious service to the people and to the country. Regardless of whether it is really meritorious or not, at least it has meritorious service in name, and it can also educate the people.
"Does this god have an imperial title?" Su Ziji asked.
A clerk unfolded the scroll: "This god has no royal title, but he can be granted a forehead."
Officially divided into three types.
The first is to include it in the national sacrificial ceremony, which usually involves the title of a prince.
Secondly, it is included in the local sacrificial canons and also has imperial seals.
Finally, there is no sacrificial ceremony, and there is no imperial seal, but there is a plaque (plaque), which means that although the official does not support it, it recognizes its legitimacy.
"I ordered this temple to repair itself before it can be opened." Su Ziji said calmly.
Ancestral Zhu was from the old capital, so he understood what he heard and knew that he had escaped. He couldn't help but be overjoyed, and kowtowed repeatedly: "This little man, on behalf of God Yuze, kowtows to the king for his great kindness, and he will surely die in his service."
After hearing this, Tian Zhen, the Minister of Rites, couldn't help but twitched his face.
Yufu
It was already daybreak, and everyone in the mansion was awake, boiling water and cooking porridge, feeding cattle and washing cars, showing a busy atmosphere. However, the people in the study room in the main courtyard frowned and quickly stood up and pushed the door open to go out.
Outside the study, the morning light shines.
The weather was obviously very good today, but when Yu Qianzhi looked at this scene, he felt upset and uneasy.
If this kind of restlessness were placed on ordinary people, it might not arouse much vigilance, but Yu Qianzhi is a Taoist!
Although he is obsessed with wealth and honor, his talent and talents are unreasonable. He is really successful in practice. Otherwise, how can he be granted the title of a real person? Is it true that he is a court official?
This sudden uneasiness represents a mental warning!
Yu Qianzhi lowered his eyes and twirled his fingers, trying to figure out the reason for his uneasiness, but he suddenly felt a tremor.
I couldn't figure out anything at all. I just felt that my eyes were foggy and something was wrong!
Something is very wrong!
Yu Qianzhi felt that the situation this time seemed to be very dangerous. Something big was going to happen in the capital, and it would be very harmful to him. What was going on? Could it be related to King Dai again?
Thinking of what he had encountered before, Yu Qianzhi pursed his lips, bent down, pulled up a piece of grass from the wall, picked up the piece of grass, and then threw it away, and the piece of grass immediately became a hexagram!
In an instant, the situation turned from bad to good!
Staring at the grass on the ground for a moment, Yu Qianzhi exhaled a breath, and then some of the heavy pressure in his heart was relieved, and it was no longer so heavy that he could hardly breathe.
But even so, the feeling just now still made Yu Qianzhi move his lips.
"Today should be the time for the king to continue cleaning up the shrine? The king has been cleaning up the shrine before, and there has never been such a formation. Could it be that something big is really going to happen this time?"
Even though there were vague speculations before, Yu Qianzhi still felt the impact of the imperial power on all cultivators, which still left Yu Qianzhi with lingering fear.
He went directly to the attic, stood on a high place and looked around. When he glanced down, he saw auras everywhere in the capital, some flickering, some suspended, some dim, some blazing, some awe-inspiring, and some deep.
"Hiss!" Yu Qianzhi took a slight breath.
"It seems that all the gods in this capital have awakened."
When the king was cleaning up the shrine, some gods were still sleeping, but now almost all the gods are resurrecting.
Cleaning up the shrine now is much more difficult than before.
Yu Qianzhi's gaze fell in the distance and he discovered that among the auras shining everywhere in the capital, more than half were undisturbed. This was the righteous god.
Even if the king wants to clean up the shrine, there is no need to worry about these righteous gods. Most of them are not only canonized by the previous dynasty, but also have new titles in this dynasty.
"Especially the God of Heaven."
Contrary to what most people think, the gods of the heavenly system are "the heaven, the earth, the sun, the moon, the stars, the wind, the clouds, the thunder, the mountains, the mountains, the sea, the famous mountains, the great rivers, the ministers, the ministers, the ministers, the ministers, the ministers, the longevity stars, the city gods."
"Heaven, Earth, Taimiao, Sheji, Emperor, Emperors, Teachers, Gods and Meritorious Officials of All Past Dynasties"
To put it simply: Yuanqiu, Fangze, Ancestral Temple, and Sheji are the great sacrifices.
Asahi, Xiyue, Xiannong, Taisui, stars, wind, clouds and thunderstorms, Yuezhen, Haidu, mountains and rivers, emperors of past dynasties, ancestors, banners, Si Zhong, Siming, Simin, Si Lu, and the longevity star are the central sacrifices.
Gods are small sacrifices
In Dazhong Sacrifice, what is sacrificed is not people, but nature. It rarely changes. It has been followed by all dynasties. At most, there is a slight difference in status. This is also the difference between the official and the folk. The official worships nature, and the folk believe in gods.
Even the City God, according to folklore, is a person who has merit and virtue, but is actually a symbol of the city, not a person.
These righteous gods are worshiped by the court every year, and even the emperor cannot demote them. As long as the court is still there, they will always exist.
However, these gods basically do not have many believers.
The gods of Xiaosi have more than 90% believers, but these gods have undergone great changes that ordinary people cannot see. But in Yu Qianzhi's eyes, the spiritual energy represented by these gods formed a vortex.
!
Vortexes of different sizes and colors were swirling throughout the capital, rising and falling!
Under his gaze, a lot of spiritual energy soared into the sky, forming a large net with strange colors over the capital!
Although these ghosts and gods have changed, due to their different colors and different grievances, Yu Qianzhi can actually see the difference!
Half of them were gradually moving towards Prince Dai's palace.
