Chapter 782 Shinto
“Come to see sir, don’t dare to be rude.”
Gan Yu put down the bamboo basket and stood aside as a disciple. After a long time, he asked: "What book are you reading, sir?"
"Oh, it's just a folk story. Its name is "Guanglin Zhiyi"...it's a miscellany. If you want to study for the imperial examination, you can't be distracted. It's better to just read the Taoist Scriptures."
Fang Xi picked up the tea cup next to her, took a sip of coarse tea, and lectured.
This crude tea is just average. It is made casually in the workshop, but it also has a unique wild flavor.
“The lesson is right, sir.”
Gan Yu devoted himself to being taught.
"When you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something...I already know everything about your intention."
Fang Xi turned around and walked into the house. Not long after, she came out with several thread-bound books: "The Taoist Scriptures have thirty-six volumes, and I only have eighteen volumes here. You can come and borrow three volumes at a time...finished Remember to return them immediately, after all, I still need to rely on these "Tao Jing" to teach my employer's children!"
“Thank you for your kindness, sir…”
There was a trace of sobs in Gan Yu's tone. It was a great kindness to Mr. Fang that he could borrow the book without hesitation...
…
“Scholar…ha…”
After Gan Yu left with the three Taoist scriptures in his arms, Fang Xi smiled and continued reading miscellaneous books.
From these miscellaneous books, we can learn more about this world.
Although most of them are conjectures and rumors, after peeling off the cocoons, we can also get a glimpse of part of the truth...
For example, this book "Guanglin Zhiyi" records an anecdote about a "Wei Zhifu", saying that he "worked as a magistrate during the day and a city **** at night." Because of his priesthood, he could not approach Taoism. A monk from Yehuchan deliberately stood in front of the official sedan chair, wanting to show off his magical powers and promote Buddhism. As a result, he was held down by several government officials and beaten to death...
“This world is quite strange. The imperial court is not called the imperial court, but the ‘Daoting’, but the ruler is still the emperor…”
Fang Xi turned to another page, which told the story of a filial son named "Wang Liulang" who moved the world with his filial piety, and finally became a **** after his death and was able to ascend to heaven.
Before that, he had also read an anecdote from unofficial history, which said that there was a certain generation of emperors in the previous dynasty who was stupid and immoral, and all the officials died together to remonstrate, which was called "Hundred Righteousness", and it became a good story for a while.
But according to Fang Xi’s understanding, they probably all have priesthoods. For these people, death is not a fear, but a relief, so they all strike together and ascend to godhood!
Snapped!
Fang Xi put down the book in his hand, and the various strange and interesting stories he had browsed over the past few days were peeled off, revealing a whole new world to him.
“In the Shinto world...therefore the ruler is called the Son of Heaven, not the Emperor of Humans.”
"In addition, there are legends about heavenly messengers from time to time, as well as heavenly talisman edicts, ascending to godhood, etc... It seems that mortals can do it. As long as there is a spirit after death, the Yin Lingbushi may be canonized as a god? !”
"Heaven? Heaven governs the world, Dao governs people..."
Fang Xi inexplicably thought of the huge Zhongqian World. Now it seems that it should be the rumored location of the Thirty-three Heavens.
There seems to be no strong interface between this heaven and this human world.
Whether gods ascend or heaven issues decrees, although they are not common, they are not uncommon either.
Comparatively speaking, the barrier between the human world and the immortal world is extremely terrifying.
‘It seems that this is the special feature of the Thousand Worlds in this place...can we communicate with the small attached worlds at any time? ’
‘Furthermore, the mainstream system does not seem to be about refining qi and cultivating immortals...but about ‘teaching qi’, and it follows the ‘spiritual way’...’
'Practitioners in this world must pass the imperial examination and pass the "Jinshi" examination of the Taoist court. Only then can they be qualified to register in Taoist books and teach Taoism. From then on, they will be named Cao Tiancao and have Taoist priesthood... Only with the priesthood can they serve as officials. ! ’
Fang Xi thought of the "Guanglin Zhiyi" that she had seen. As long as they were officials, they were full of ghosts and ghosts, and some monks and alchemists could not show their magic in person.
It is claimed to the outside world that it is protected by official aura and blessed by dragon aura, suppressing the five elements and prohibiting all laws!
Actually, it’s because they are gods themselves! I have a priesthood! Therefore, when the saint is in power, his ghosts are not gods!
"Officials of the Taoist court rule people during the day and ghosts at night... Even after death, their souls will not be extinguished, and they will be directly integrated with the priesthood. They will truly achieve the golden body of the righteous god. Those with great merits can even directly ascend to heaven and become officials... Therefore, death is very important to them. For me, it is a kind of relief that is worth looking forward to... Only hundreds of officials directly remonstrated. This is not that each of them is loyal and courageous, but that there is a way out..."
“The Shinto system? It’s quite interesting…”
Fang Xi touched her chin.
He has been observing the local master day and night about this system, and he already knows a thing or two about its secrets.
Specifically, it is through Shinto talismans, gathering the power of incense in a place, shaping a golden body, and extracting divine power...
“In this way, it is almost equivalent to being bound to a believer, and will be contaminated by the poison of incense, and there will be the misfortune of ‘losing oneself’, and it is difficult to be free and easy because of responsibilities..."
“Suffering so many disadvantages, the advantage is that there are no requirements for qualifications, and once achieved, the cultivation level is so powerful that it is almost far beyond that of the same immortal cultivators..."
After all, the cultivators of immortality are only the efforts of one person, while the Shinto gods are the strength of the masses!
"But... the biggest disadvantage is that this kind of Shinto rank is impossible to advance in your lifetime without promotion from your superiors!"
“How terrifying would it be to enfeoff and support the emperor in such a layer-by-layer manner... in the end, the Emperor of Heaven?”
Fang Xi suddenly thought of the powerful threat she felt when she wanted to go to the Zhongqian World.
This is equivalent to an existence that unifies the immortal world plus three thousand worlds, and it is still a local snake in Shinto!
Fang Xi even doubted that even if a real immortal came, this ‘Emperor of Heaven’ would be able to suppress it...
Therefore, it was definitely the most correct decision that he did not choose to go directly to the Thirty-Three Heavenly Palaces at the beginning.
“It seems...that the harvest in this world should be a brand new Shinto cultivation system?”
Fang Xi murmured.
"It's just that... the Shinto will teach you... it's too scary to be restricted by your superiors."
“It’s better to find a guinea pig first and do the experiment on my behalf.”
He is indeed very interested in this Shinto method.
This is not for self-cultivation.
Fang Xi only wanted to become a fairy and live happily, so she was too lazy to do the hard work of Shintoism.
It's just that...he thought of his group of subordinates from the Kyushu Realm.
Without even needing to analyze the Taiyi Sutra, he knew that this Shinto system was a perfect match for the Kyushu realm!
Even the Daoting did not rule more than 100 million people.
There are tens of billions of people in the Kyushu Realm. This is the convenience brought to the common people after the great development of science and technology!
Furthermore, there are billions of people who have received basic education, are quite outstanding in all aspects, and can be considered high-quality believers!
Not to mention, in the Earthly Immortal Realm, after occupying Xiankong Island, you can also carry out environmental transformation and encourage births. The population of Kyushu Realm can definitely experience an exponential surge!
How terrifying must the gods spawned by this power of faith be?
"Powerful enough to be able to achieve success easily... More importantly, it is easy to be suppressed by superiors... It is indeed a system that is quite suitable for me. It can easily cultivate a large number of subordinates who are comparable to returning to the void and merging monks... When the time comes, even if the human race in the immortal world is cleansed Scum, it is enough to avenge Master Fangxian and reverse the trend of the world of immortality..."
The death of Taoist Master Fangxian is a pain in the hearts of the monks in the Jiuzhou Realm.
It’s just that if the blood flows out like a river and the monsters and monsters take advantage of them, they will become the sinners of the entire human race.
The best thing is to kill the person who deserves to be killed and immediately have a large number of high-level monks to take over.
Even with the development of Kyushu Realm, it is unrealistic to accumulate so much top-level combat power without tens of thousands of years of accumulation.
But now, with the Shinto system, everything is different.
The leapfrog development of Kyushu is just around the corner!
Of course, everything will have to wait until Fang Xi personally inspects it before a final conclusion can be made.
But judging from the information collected so far, this Shinto path does have some subtleties.
At least, Fang Xi felt that it would be a great thing for her to support a group of gods' subordinates as a supplement to various chores in the future while she was cultivating immortality.
“For the first one, why not choose Ganyu...”
Over Fang Xi's head, the sixth-level Qi Luck Gu lay listlessly on the side.
With the help of this Gu before, he had checked Gan Yu's luck and could only say that it was average.
Although there are some virtues, they have been almost exhausted. Now there is only a sliver left, and the literary spirit is not very abundant.
It is really difficult to pass the "Tongsheng" examination.
As for studying and studying hard?
There are many people who study hard in the world, and there are even some who study hard day and night until they vomit blood.
But I should have failed the exam, but I still failed the exam.
“One is fate, two is luck, three is feng shui, four is accumulation of yin virtue and five is reading... There are only a few ways to change one’s destiny in this world.”
“Since you are dormant in this world, don’t use too many extraordinary methods, but try to solve the problem within the framework first…”
It is actually not difficult for Gan Yu to pass the Tongsheng examination.
Fang Xi is now playing a guest role as a noble person, helping him to study.
After you have familiarized yourself with the thirty-six volumes of the Taoist Scriptures, you can try your hand at the end.
“Judging from the luck Gu, this person’s luck is still a bit poor...but it doesn’t matter.”
Although Fang Xi is not very good at divination, she can find an opportunity that can help Gan Yu's luck according to the Luck Gu, and then make some suggestions, and everything will come true.
“Actually...if you directly use the secret technique to make the luck Gu feed back the luck, it is also feasible..."
“But there are some troubles...After all, it is the method of the outside demon..."
His spiritual consciousness swept across the land, making it difficult to detect the land in this village.
And Fang Xi’s consciousness left Baigan Village and spread to the outside world...
It didn’t take long before his eyes lit up and he found an opportunity that could replenish Gan Yu’s destiny...
The second update will be later
