Chapter Two Hundred and Sixty Seven: God's Personality
The incense divine picture and the merit whisk that were blooming in the sky finally fell, and Chixia Yuanjun and Lingxiangu each took back their own divine weapons.
The method of merit that Kong Chenzi had been trying and guessing a long time ago has finally been completely confirmed and perfected today.
Kong Chenzi looked at the image of black clouds covering the heads of many gods in the incense and fire god picture.
It is so conspicuous compared to all the gods with bright clouds and bright lights.
It has the charm of a dance between gods and demons.
But in the eyes of Taoists, this is not a good sight.
Kong Chenzi said slowly: "I didn't expect that there would be so many people trying to fish in troubled waters in this underworld."
Chixia Yuanjun immediately stepped forward: "Master Dao, it's my fault for not being able to supervise me well."
"I never expected that a person with such karma and many evil deeds would enter the underworld."
Kong Chenzi waved his hand: "It is human nature to conceal what is below and seek benefits and avoid harm."
"Although you have the incense and fire god picture, you can control the authority, power and promotion of ghosts and gods."
"But it is impossible to monitor the entire world, the movements of every ghost and god, what they have done in the past, and what they will do in the future."
"Mortal dynasties cannot supervise low-level officials, so when government orders are issued, they cannot be implemented. If they are violated, good government affairs will become harsh government, and harsh government affairs will become bad government."
"There are also countless officials who deceive the superiors and the emperor by deceiving the superiors and the emperor, and both the people and the emperor regard them as being taken advantage of."
“Therefore, in all dynasties of the past dynasties, no matter how clear and clear the officials were at the time of founding, they would inevitably decline and deteriorate little by little.”
"Because the power of supervision and control over them by the superiors is constantly weakening. Once officials find out that they can fool the superiors, they will naturally lower their bottom line. Once they find that the people can be exploited by themselves, they will find it difficult to tolerate greed."
"In the end, the laws and regulations set by the superiors were completely reduced to empty talk. The unspoken rules they set in private became the laws that ran the entire dynasty."
Kong Chenzi pointed at Chixia Yuanjun: "Although the divine system is very different from the mortal dynasty, from a certain perspective, the difference is not that big."
"I give you the incense god map to control the way of incense."
"All your great power and supernatural powers come from me, and everything about ghosts and gods comes from you, so your control over ghosts and gods will not fade."
"But the key link of supervision is missing, which still allows these lower-level gods to exploit loopholes and deceive superiors and deceive subordinates by taking advantage of information asymmetry and inadequate supervision."
The Taoist looked at Lingxian Gu again and answered the question that Lingxian Gu had asked before: "That's why I want to use the way of merit to complete the Shinto system."
"Use heaven and earth to monitor ghosts and gods, and use merit as the foundation to discuss Shinto personality."
Lingxiangu suddenly understood and immediately answered.
"The Tao Lord is far-sighted and has already anticipated today before he even created the Shinto."
"This disciple really admires me."
Chixia Yuanjun asked at this time: "Now that we have found these fishermen in troubled waters, how should we deal with them?"
Kong Chenzi sneered: "Of course we have to get rid of these people who fish in troubled waters."
"The same trick played in the mortal dynasty, do you still want to play the same trick in the underworld and deceive the superiors and deceive the subordinates, and the unspoken rules of the officials, and try to climb up in this way?"
"Then you will live forever and become a god who can do whatever you want?"
"Don't even think about it."
The Taoist's words have already determined the laws and rules that the ghosts and gods in the world will follow in the future.
What's more, a large number of ghosts and gods who have just ascended to the throne of gods are destined to fall from the altar immediately.
——————————————
The underworld.
His Royal Highness Yuanjun, Gong Lao, the master of Yin Yang Hall, Zu Chong, the master of Samsara Hall, and Yan Ben, the master of Palace Master Hall, are in front.
Behind them are the judges and meritorious officials of each palace, as well as various ghosts and gods traveling around.
Dao Lord Kongchen rarely entered the underworld to summon them. Standing high above were the three divine Lords Tao Shenjun, Chixia Yuanjun and Lingxiangu.
The ghosts and gods stood respectfully, but they had different thoughts. They didn't know why Lord Kongchen summoned him suddenly.
Many people are extremely curious about Lingxiangu, the newly promoted divine monarch, but most people are not unfamiliar with it, especially the Taoist disciples, most of whom know that there is such a senior figure with a very high seniority.
Almost all the high-ranking ghosts and gods from the Yin Division were present, and Daojun Kongchen finally spoke, setting the tone.
"Incense conjures up ghosts and gods, and merit determines the deity."
"The identity of the Yinsi Shinto has been finalized and will be promulgated starting today."
At this moment, the Lords of the various palaces below and the God of the Underworld immediately knew that a big change was about to take place in the underworld.
The personalities of the ghosts and gods in the underworld, which have been discussed for a long time, have finally been decided, which also means that the underworld is finally on the right track.
Chixia Yuanjun waved his hand, and a priest stepped forward and read: "The God of the Yin Division, the priesthood is divided into nine levels of divine character."
"The lower third grade is the white imperial edict, the middle third grade is the red imperial edict, and the upper third grade is the green imperial edict."
"The Lord of the Yinsi Palaces, the third-grade Qingchi, can..."
"The city god of the state, the six-pin red edict..."
"..."
"Village land, ninth grade white imperial edict..."
As he read it out one after another, he immediately saw changes in the incense and fire god picture hanging in the air.
The divine patterns on the robes of all ghosts and gods are determined by the god's grade, and change in accordance with the rank. Just by looking at the divine patterns on their divine robes, you can tell whether they are high or low.
The respective coercive momentum also forms a huge difference depending on the level of the god's character.
All the changes immediately responded to all the ghosts and gods, and the power of the incense they could mobilize and absorb was completely settled at this moment, which was equivalent to the salary of these ghosts and gods.
At the same time, the manifestation of the power of merit evolved into some kind of power attached to them.
Chixia Yuanjun came out at this time and said coldly.
"In recent days, I have been entangled with some karmic obstacles, and people who fish in troubled waters have entered my underworld."
"As soon as we get to the Reincarnation Hall, we will immediately dispatch undercover agents to arrest these ghosts and gods and send them all to the ghost prison."
Zu Chong, the master of the Reincarnation Hall, immediately walked out: "Zu Chong receives the decree."
Chixia Yuanjun looked at the master of Yin Yang Hall again: "From now on, the Yin Division Divine Observation will be activated every ten years."
"The first is to observe merit, the second is to observe incense, and the third is to observe merit."
"According to this, you will be promoted to a godly character and appointed to the priesthood of the Yin Division."
"Nowadays, if the merits are not worthy of the god's status and title, no changes will be made."
"Ten years later, when the Yinsi God inspects the god, if his merits are still unworthy of his character, he will be demoted to the priesthood according to his merits."
At this time, the atmosphere present suddenly became solemn, and all the ghosts and gods felt nervous and pressured.
After a long time, the palace master of Yin Yang Palace came forward and said: "The gods will receive the decree. From now on, the Yin Division will inspect and follow the Tao Lord's decree."
The master of the Yin and Yang Palace retreated, and Lord Kongchen said to all the ghosts and gods at this time.
"I did not establish this Underworld Division for some people to dominate and enslave all sentient beings."
"I gave you immortality, gave you the authority of Shinto, and even gave you the nobility of Shinto."
"I will give you everything you want."
"I just want you to make this world prosperous day by day, so that one day the mortal world can be transformed into a fairyland and a dynasty of gods."
"Destroy all these people with karmic obstacles and send them to ghost prison."
"Strictly investigate how these ghosts and gods entered the underworld and how they passed the exams in the underworld."
"Those who should be demoted should be demoted, those who should be withdrawn should be withdrawn, and those who should be killed should be killed."
All the ghosts and gods present responded. The person in front of them was not a mortal emperor.
The Heavenly Constitution is in the mouth, and the divine laws and decrees are exported from the mouth, so they cannot bargain.
On the same day.
