Chapter nine hundred and thirty seventh: for the way of God
Ten days have passed, and with Wu Yi's secret support, the belief in Shen Congyue has been initially formed in Chenliu County and Township.
The common people knew that this fairy died because she could not pay food and was oppressed by the government. The priest's duty is to protect the people who were oppressed by the government and punish corrupt officials.
If in other places, the security officials manage better, and the people support the government deeply, it will not take just ten days (ten days) to form a reputation.
In the final analysis, God is a democracy. Without a mass base, or in other words, without the widespread support of believers, even if this god is the son of the Emperor of Heaven, he will not be able to grow at all.
Wu Yi pushed Shen Congyue to embark on the path of Shintoism. It was very crude and did not even have a god's name. Wu Yi originally planned to name one, but after much thinking, he couldn't think of a good name. Later, he simply gave up the idea and let the people Make your own name for God.
The formation of a god's name is an extremely serious process. Each word in it represents either one's origin, one's cultivation of Taoism, or one's priesthood. One or two cannot be neglected. Therefore, the names of some gods are very strange. To some extent, the name of a god that is smelly and long shows that the other person has profound cultivation and extraordinary background.
Some villagers in Sili and Baxiang remembered Shen Congyue and affectionately called her Little Shen Xiangu, Little Shen. In some ways, it also showed that Shen Congyue's cultivation was relatively weak and his status was not high.
As for the word "fairy aunt", Shen Congyue is a god after all, not a mortal like them. The word "fairy aunt" shows respect.
At present, Xiao Shenxiangu's mission is to punish corrupt officials and redress the grievances of the people. No matter how you look at it, it is a bit empty, but it is precisely because of the emptiness that it shows that it has huge room for growth. For gods like the Earth God, territorial consciousness Obviously, stability means stability. If you want to be a great god, it will be hard to reach the sky.
In addition, at the grassroots level, the so-called people do not fight against the officials and conflicts arise between the officials and the people. In fact, these are just those things. Major cases such as burning, killing, looting, etc. are actually very few, and there may not be one in a few years.
Tax collection, corvee work, apportionment, excessive levies and miscellaneous taxes are the main aspects of conflicts between the government and the people. In a broad sense, all aspects of people's livelihood can be covered.
Threads of incense and spiritual thoughts gathered together, and others expressed their sincere trust. It can be seen that Shen Congyue is really happy, as if he has forgotten all the nightmares he has experienced. There is no trace of sternness on his face, and he has slowly blended in. In this new role of my own.
It was late at night again one day, Wu Yi came out lightly, and no one in Qingfeng Temple noticed it, just like the previous few days.
Shen Congyue went from the ghost way to the divine way. It seems that he is a Yin spirit body. It is not difficult, but in fact it is still quite difficult. To convert the billowing ghost energy into divine power, it cannot be solved with a Shinto talisman. The key It is still the incense of believers.
"We have been to all the countryside in Chenliu County. Are we going to the county today?" Shen Congyue asked as he left Wu Yi's sleeves on the way.
Wu Yi nodded without further explanation.
"There are many people studying in the city, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to preach!" After Wu Yi left for many days, Shen Congyue no longer knew anything about Shinto matters and began to explain his worries.
After a few days of visits, she understood that it would be difficult to get close to scholars and veterans who had experienced battles, let alone preach.
Shen Congyue didn't know the reason. Wu Yi explained to her that it was because there were Taoist saints who protected her and the white tiger's murderous aura protected her. Obviously, Shen Congyue, a layman, didn't understand. He only knew that these two types of people were difficult to deal with.
"I'm not bringing you to the county town today to preach!" Wu Yi said.
"Then what are we here for?" It's not Shen Congyue's fault. After all, before she became a ghost, she was an ordinary mortal and didn't know anything about Shinto.
Wu Yi slowed down and took advantage of the beautiful moonlight to explain: "If the Shinto gods want to stabilize their position and gain more incense, they must have both grace and power. I took you to the countryside before and asked you to use your magic power to help the villagers regulate their bodies. It was a favor. The people know how to repay their kindness and will naturally worship you."
Shen Congyue's expression did not change and he said: "Then when we go to the county seat, are we going to show kindness or to establish authority?"
"Since you guessed it, why bother asking again!" After saying that, Wu Yi speeded up again, leaving Shen Congyue far behind.
How can Shen Congyue compare with Wu Yi? Wu Yi stopped about ten miles outside the county town. After here, it is the boundary of the suburbs. Because the county town government office is included, the dragon's energy will rise to a higher level.
It has little impact on Wu Yi, but for Shen Congyue, if he is not careful, his identity will be exposed.
After more than ten breaths, Shen Congyue finally caught up, panting, and the first thing he asked was, "Are you going to kill the county magistrate?"
Following Wu Yi for the past few days, Shen Congyue understood that Wu Yi was extremely powerful, and his current identity was probably just a fake persona for him to cover up his own identity.
"The county magistrate can kill, but I won't do it myself!" If Wu Yi does it himself, and the dragon energy backfires, even he may not be able to please him. He can obviously incite civil unrest, so why let his hands be stained? On the blood, Wu Yi will not tell Shen Congyue these contents.
"Then who are you trying to establish your power over?" Shen Congyue became even more confused. Who else in this small Chenliu County is worthy of this person's action?
"It's not me who is trying to establish authority, it's you who is establishing authority!" Wu Yi pointed out her mistake and emphasized.
"I," Xu thought of something, Shen Congyue's expression dropped, and he said frankly: "I can't do it!" Apart from other things, the Haechi beast guarding the prison was not someone Shen Congyue could provoke.
"I'll cover it up for you. Just go find a few officers who have bad attitudes during the tax collection process and punish them!" Wu Yi chuckled and said.
"That's all!" Shen Congyue looked a little incredulous. What's the use of this? It's not a task assigned by these officers.
Wu Yi looked at her, half with contempt, half with ridicule, and said: "As a god, you still need to practice more!"
Do things as soon as they come. If you don’t show how hard you have worked, the believers will not give you incense. You will only take it for granted. If you work hard and don’t do it well in the last time, you may be punished by the believers below. Overturned.
This point is not only applicable to Shinto, but also to humane and immortal ways in general. It is just not so obvious, but it is essentially the same.
In fact, comparatively speaking, gods who procrastinate in doing things and cause trouble are much better than gods who make trouble by doing nothing.
What is the meaning of making trouble out of nothing? The people are obviously living a good life, but they insist on letting their "pets" out to cause trouble, and ask those people who "do not know what is good to do" to take them back.
