Chapter 21 Bianjing City God
"Thank you sir."
Two Yeyouji looked at Bao Zheng carefully. Although both of them were pure Yin bodies, they felt a heat on their foreheads and the urge to sweat.
Just now, the two of them watched the battle from a distance, with a distance of more than ten miles apart, and were still shaken by the soul of the shocking Qianyuan Qi contained in the flying knife.
Qianyuan Zhengang is a third-grade master who has cultivated Yang Shen, but even a third-grade master cannot use magic power to transform magic weapons like Bao Zheng.
The two ghosts and gods felt that if they were hit by this, they would probably turn into ashes on the spot, and the incense and golden light could not be able to protect them.
Two Yeyou gods wiped the cold sweat secretly and bowed to him: "Sir, it is my city god who asked me to go to the underworld to talk."
"Oh, is it the City God of Bianjing?"
Bao Zheng thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, please lead the way."
The two ghosts and gods quickly said yes, and they were respectful in front of them.
Bao Zheng followed two ghosts and gods to the city god temple in Bianjing.
The City God of Bianjing is the first of the city gods of the Great Gen Dynasty, states, counties and counties. This City God Temple is also magnificent and covers a wide area.
The temple has three courtyards, and the first one is to enter the "People's Livelihood Hall". People can pray for rain and sunshine here, seek blessings and avoid misfortunes.
Secondly, when entering the "reward the good and punish the evil hall", the people can demonstrate good, filial piety, evil and ugliness, and ask for judgment. Some disputes among the people in Dagen will not even go to the government office, but will swear to establish their hearts in the City God Temple and implement family rules and regulations.
After entering the "Reincarnation Hall" three times, people can pray for their dead relatives here, praying that their relatives can be reborn smoothly and have a chance to meet in the next life.
The first two people entered the courtyard were the Yinsi Sensing Spirit Officer, the four judges’ golden body statues, and the City God’s golden body was erected in the ‘Reincarnation Hall’.
The city gods on the Xiazhou Continent are different from those of the monks of each family and sect. Cultivators are natives in the world and are subject to the laws of the Great Gen Dynasty. If they are less than the second-grade master, it is difficult to truly be free.
City gods in various places are priests, and they all rely on years to accumulate incense and vows. As the city god for one day, they will protect the place for one day. The incense will last and the city god will not die.
Therefore, most of the City Gods relied on the worship of the people to gain their position, and they were not enthroned by the court.
This is the most primitive balance between monarchy and divine power.
The humanity of the Dagen Dynasty was prosperous and could manage demons and monks from various sects of the human race, but they were unable to manage the affairs of the underworld.
The Great Gen Dynasty was established for 160 years, and its foundation was not very deep. In the past century, it has tried to extend its hands to the underworld. Only when the city gods in some areas lose their expectations and the incense has faded and the spirit has disappeared can they have the opportunity to enthrone the famous local people as the new city god.
Even the City God of Bianjing was also a title of Emperor Daqian of the previous dynasty. He was famous for two hundred years. His divine power was as strong as a sea, and he was able to compete with the second-rank master. Even the Zhao family of Emperor Dagen should be polite to him.
These legends Bao Zheng heard from the monk, and he was curious about the City God of Bianjing early on, but he didn't expect that the opportunity to meet would come so soon.
At this late at night, there were no believers queuing up to burn incense, but they could still smell the strong smell of sandalwood, which shows how popular the city god in Bianjing was.
Bao Zheng followed the two ghosts and gods all the way to the Reincarnation Hall and saw that the City God was two feet tall, with a national face, and a long beard of three willows under his turtle. He was really majestic.
There is a text wall next to the hall, and I write to the City God’s experience.
The City God of Bianjing, originally named Liu Chang, was the top scholar of the Jingsheng period of the previous dynasty. He was known as the rich articles and unparalleled poetry. He was the Central Secretariat and had power all over the world.
At that time, the great knight was about to end, with eighteen rebel kings inside, sixty-four demon dust, and outside, the demonic country in the Demon Continent was eyeing the demons, internal and external troubles were shaking, and the majesty of the human race was trampled on by demons. The tragic incident of demons robbing people in Kyoto actually occurred!
Liu Chang raised the sea to protect the people's livelihood with his own strength and fought against the chaotic army outside. He continued his great destiny for decades. In the end, he was exhausted. The dignified third-rank scholar actually died of exhaustion in his post.
When he died, the people cried and sent him to the streets for ten miles, and helped him with spirits for a hundred miles. He was named the City God of Bianjing by Emperor Dagan.
Now that the dynasty has changed, the Dagen Dynasty has been established for 160 years, and Liu Chang is still in full bloom, and the new dynasty must give in to him.
Bao Zheng was so impressed by such a good minister in governing the country. He personally put in incense sticks on the city god who was about to meet, and then followed the two ghosts and gods around the city god's golden body and walked into the back porch.
The two ghosts and gods opened the way with the golden light of incense and entered the underworld with their bags.
As soon as the scenery in front of me changed, I saw a bleak wind and a heavy mist. From a distance, I saw a dark and floating river flowing, suddenly floating on the surface and sinking underground.
Under the leadership of the black armored Yinchao, some ghosts were successively thrown into the river, chosen by heaven and earth, and reincarnated in various paths.
"Is this the Santuhe River?"
I heard from the monk that Santu River is also known as Wangchuan River. Once you pass through the river, you will make people forget your previous life. It is equivalent to countless bowls of legendary Mengpo soup.
So the Yinsi actually has no Meng Po, and the legend of Blue Star in the last world is just a legend.
A Yeyou God smiled and replied, "Sir, this is the Santu River. This river comes from and does not know where this river is going. It only knows that it has been created from heaven and earth. The river sections can be seen in all parts of the underworld, which helps the ghosts forget their previous lives and reincarnation."
Bao Zheng nodded and asked again: "Oh, can a living person dies and must be washed by the impact of these three rivers before he can be reincarnated?"
"That's not all. When encountering people with great virtue and great wise men during their lifetime, the Yinshi will seek their intentions, or stay in the Yinshi as ghosts and gods, and enjoy their Yinshi's life; or sending Yinshi ferry boats to help them cross the river. This ferry is also a generation of heaven and earth. If you don't cross the cultivator against the heavens and do not cross the virtues, you must build bridges and roads in your previous life, spread porridge to fight disasters, and be rewarded with the country's meritorious people, you will get the ferry help."
"In addition, if the family sincerely prays for the deceased, is sincere and filial, is willing to share the guilt of the previous life for his ancestors, and devotes his virtues to this life, if the deceased accumulates good deeds, there is a great chance to board this ferry."
The ghosts and gods knew that Bao Zheng was not very detailed, and explained with great care: "Although this ferry can not retain the memories of the ferry's previous lives, it can guarantee that he will not fall into the realm of animals and hungry ghosts..."
Bao Zheng praised: "It's very good, so that the world can be justified. If you kill people, set fire, take a car and sedan chair, repair bridges and roads, and have no corpses, who else in the world is willing to do good deeds? Then you will become a demon and the people will live in vain."
Sure enough, 70% of the justice in the world is in the underworld.
This ferry boat is born in heaven and earth, and it will not rush to ferry evil people or monks. No matter whether you are a second-grade master or a first-grade sect leader in your previous life, or even a true immortal arhat, you will still have to enter the Santu River and walk for the previous trip. This is great fairness.
Of course, if you are a true immortal, you will naturally have the reserved means to deal with the Santuhe River after death.
The Great Spirit Four and Nine, one of which is change, will always leave a glimmer of life; and this glimmer of life does not observe good or evil, regardless of authentic side, this is not even a concern for heaven and earth.
The ghost and god looked at Bao Zheng deeply when they heard this and exclaimed happily: "Sir, I am extraordinary, and our City God said the same thing..."
Bao Zheng walked and chatted with two ghosts and gods. In the misty yin energy ahead, another city god temple gradually appeared.
Unlike what you see in the world, this City God Temple is even taller and more majestic. There are ghost soldiers guarding it in front of the door. When people are coming, they all stare at it.
A tall middle-aged man with willow beard fluttering under his jaw stood in front of the temple, looked at Bao Zheng with a smile, and bowed from afar, "Liu Chang, the city god of Bianjing, welcome sir."
A golden light flashed across his eyes, and he secretly checked Bao Zheng's strength, but found that Bao Zheng's qi was hidden deep and his magic power was not visible, so it was unfathomable.
The Legalists' "avoid" magical power is the best to conceal their strength. Even if they are both Legal monks, they must have their magic power three times higher than Bao Zheng to investigate. Although Liu Chang is the leader of Xiazhou City God, he does not have such strength yet.
Liu Chang was secretly shocked. With his divine power, he could see that even the second-grade masters who suppressed the luck of the capital could have some insights.
The young man in front of him was fierce and as strong as flames. If he had not been a true immortal arhat, the cultivation level of the first-grade sect leader would not be able to see through him, he would have been clearly a young man in his early twenties!
How terrible is this a young man in his early twenties who can't see the details clearly?
"As soon as Liu Xiang served as an official, he was worried about the country and the people, and he stood up to the sky. Everyone was impressed by him. The young student was polite."
Bao Zheng quickly replied the gift, not because Liu Chang was the city god of Bianjing and the leader of the underworld in the world, but because such a good minister of governing the country was indeed worthy of his admiration.
"The past events in the past are not necessary."
Liu Chang smiled and said, "The fragrant tea that has been prepared in the back garden is a thing of the world. Please share it with me."
"Thank you."
Bao Zhenghan nodded with laughter and walked with Liu Chang.
"The little snake in my hand can be handed over to the underworld for temporary detention. The underworld originally did not ask about the case in the living world, but the underworld is my guest of the underworld, so I can be fine and interrogate and detain the teacher for the trial. I know the case, but I don't know what the teacher wants?"
Liu Chang glanced at Bao's right hand and said with a smile.
"Haha, I just think the interrogation is troublesome. If you have the help of the underworld, it would be better."
Bao Zheng nodded and handed She Yuan over to a red-robed judge.
As Liu Chang walked into the City God Temple, he passed by several times in the courtyard and found that although the place was still strong incense, there was a golden light shining on the incense. It suddenly turned out that the daytime in the world was different from the scenery I saw before.
Moreover, the various layouts and furnishings in this City God Temple also look like the world of the living, and there is even a rather quiet back garden.
Bao Zheng and Chenghuang sat down in the pavilion in the back garden. There were already a few refreshments and a pot of fragrant tea on the stone table in front of him. As Liu Chang said, it was all about food on earth.
Bao Zheng used fragrant tea and snacks, and praised him. Liu Chang was a body of ghosts and gods, but he only smelled the smell, but he also enjoyed it quite.
After three rounds of tea, the topic has been opened.
Liu Chang smiled and said, "I have been the city god in this Bianjing City for two hundred years. I am confident that I still understand Bianjing's masters. Any monks above the fourth grade will all fall into my eyes."
"But I only saw you in my life. You are only young, but you can easily defeat the Qingcheng White Snake and capture the crystal snake She Yuan with your backhand. Liu was curious. Did Mr. Li hide in Bianjing all year round, or did he pass by by chance and take action when he saw unfairness?"
Bao Zheng smiled faintly: "It's only in this mountain, the clouds are deep and I don't know where..."
Liu Changwei was surprised: "What a person is only in this mountain, and the clouds are deep and I don't know where they are. Sir, this is hidden in the city, but Liu is abrupt."
Bao Zheng smiled and said, "It's not a big secret, it's just inconvenient to say more. I'm also about to ask the City God to ask me to the underworld, but I don't know what's going on?"
Liu Changyi smiled: "I am really concerned about the case of the gopher demon Shuqing, and I admire the wisdom and courage of the gentleman."
