Red Mansion: Incense and God Road, starting from the City God of Shenjing
Chapter 114: Half a step to the 4th realm, Chief of Yin and Yang Department!
Chapter 114: Half a step to the fourth realm, Chief of Yin and Yang Department!
“My Lord, I…”
Miaoyu opened her mouth and wanted to say something.
But Jia Cong raised his hand to interrupt him.
“I said, give me another reason not to kill you.”
“Instead of debating identity with you!”
“My Lord, please understand. Miaoyu has been following you all the time, not out of ill will.”
“I really want to ask for the protection of the Marquis.”
Upon hearing this, Miaoyu slowly knelt on the ground.
He started to defend himself.
“I know, from Shandong to Suzhou.”
“This Marquis intentionally allowed you to report to the White Lotus Sect seven times.”
“But they still fell into my trap.”
“If it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t have said…”
“Give me one more reason not to kill you.”
Although Jia Cong seemed casual at this moment, in fact, the Shinto seal was ready to be used.
The blood dragon transformed into a coiled dragon hand-held figurine, which was played with in the hand.
Baochai behind him was also alert and focused.
When something goes wrong, attack from both sides.
Not to mention Miaoyu’s strength at the initial stage of the third stage of spiritual cultivation.
Even if it is the early stage of the fourth realm, I have the confidence to keep it here.
……
“My Lord, Miaoyu is indeed the daughter of the Crown Prince, Princess Yongping, and also the Saint of the White Lotus Sect.”
“It’s just that this saint…”
“Since you have mastered the magical power of the Dharma Eye, why don’t you take a closer look at Miaoyu’s current condition?”
Miaoyu looked miserable.
“Don’t resist!”
Hearing this, Jia Cong stretched out his hand and some divine powers entered into Miaoyu’s body.
After walking around, he immediately showed a look of surprise.
“White Lotus Crossing the World…”
“Crossing the world…”
“There is such a skill in the world…”
“You underestimate the world.”
The divine power flowed through the body, like a pair of giant hands touching it from inside to outside.
It’s even worse than physical contact.
The strange feeling made Miaoyu’s cheeks slightly red.
“My Lord has discovered it, too, right?”
“When my father was defeated, the remaining members of the Eastern Palace were hunted down and forced to join the White Lotus Sect.”
“Ever since Miaoyu could remember, she has been the Saint of the White Lotus Sect, practicing the White Lotus Sutra every day!”
“At first I thought the White Lotus Sect had good intentions.”
“Later, as my cultivation improved, I discovered that every time I dreamed, I would have memories that were no less impressive than my own.”
“Especially after breaking through the third realm.”
“This is becoming more and more common.”
“Later, Miaoyu accidentally learned that the Saintess of the White Lotus Sect was not permanent, and there were only three Saintess before Miaoyu.”
“Each of them had top-level Xuanmen Qi Refining aptitude, but they all suddenly became insane and then became possessed and died not long after breaking through the Spirit Refining Realm.”
“When my father rebelled, the White Lotus Sect was behind the scenes fanning the flames, all for Miaoyu…”
Miaoyu looked miserable as she spoke out the old things that had been suppressed in her heart for years.
……
“Use the skills to shape the body, and hold the incense…”
“With the protection of merits…”
“If my guess is correct, the White Lotus Sect will ask you to host the opening of warehouses in various places every year to distribute porridge to help disaster victims, right?”
What Jia Cong discovered with his divine power was even clearer than Miaoyu’s guess.
One of the two most powerful skills of the White Lotus Sect is the “White Lotus Saving the World Sutra”!
The most important function is not for anything else.
It is to shape the body of God and accommodate the incense!
At this time, a small part of Miaoyu’s soul had turned pure white, and the lotus light was flickering.
The mixed power of incense fills it.
Incense is exclusive to gods.
Of all the creatures in the world, only gods can perfectly control them and turn them into sources of power.
Other living beings.
If I were to directly absorb a large amount of incense, I wouldn’t know how to transform it.
After a long time, the incense will backfire on them and they will become crazy and manic.
It is not difficult to see from the arrangement of arranging Miaoyu to open the granary and distribute porridge every year that some ancestors of the White Lotus Sect must have realized the merit of this virtue.
He wanted to provide temporary protection with merits, so that the spirit and soul could continue to adapt to the incense.
It’s a pity that it has never been successful.
This led to the White Lotus Sect’s successive holy maidens going astray.
In fact, it is the backlash of the incense.
“indeed so!”
When Miaoyu heard Jia Cong’s words, her eyes lit up.
Bow deeply to the ground.
“My Lord, Miaoyu has a blood feud with the White Lotus Sect.”
“Now I have nothing but my spiritual cultivation.”
“If the Marquis is willing to promise to avenge Miaoyu in the future, Miaoyu is willing to submit to the Marquis wholeheartedly.”
“At the order of the Marquis.”
“You don’t blame me for wiping out all the old members of the Eastern Palace that the former crown prince left for you?”
Jia Cong asked casually.
In fact, he was quickly thinking about the pros and cons of accepting Miaoyu.
The White Lotus Sect and Jia Cong now have a blood feud that is absolutely impossible to reconcile.
After all, Miaoyu was once the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect and knew a lot about it.
The disadvantage is.
The identity of the late prince’s bloodline is too sensitive.
Any leak would affect Jia Cong’s many plans.
“My Lord, you think too highly of Miaoyu. Those people were quite respectful in the first few years.”
“It’s just that over the years, the White Lotus Sect has gradually assimilated her, and no one takes Princess Miaoyu seriously anymore.”
Miaoyu said sadly.
This is exactly what the saying “human hearts are hard to predict” means.
“Only Master and Uncle Jingyue have been taking care of me because they saved my father’s life in the past.”
“Your soul has been twisted a little by the practice you’ve been doing, and is now filled with the power of mixed incense.”
“I can only do my best!”
For Jia Cong, it was extremely easy to dispel the power of incense in Miaoyu’s soul.
But in this way, how can we guarantee Miaoyu’s loyalty?
With a thought, the Shinto seal slowly rose up.
The divine officials of the ten prefectures of Jiangnan slowly descended and hovered above Jia Cong’s head.
Ten beams of divine light emerged from ten priests and finally merged into one.
A brand new priesthood gradually emerged.
There is a line of ancient seal script written on it.
[Chief of the Yin-Yang Department of the Ten Prefectures of Jiangnan Province (rank 7)]
This is what Jia Cong realized after his breakthrough. Shinto, Shinto!
It is the way of the gods, with gods as the basis.
All of the previous titles bestowed upon the ghosts and gods under his command were infused with divine power using the Shinto seals.
The seemingly randomly generated priesthoods are actually the necessary subordinates of Jia Cong’s priesthood.
In addition, hundreds of city gods, land gods, river gods and other subordinate gods were enfeoffed at the same time.
This made Jia Cong even more suspicious.
I’d take this opportunity to experiment.
Sure enough.
The conferring of titles on ghosts and gods of different ranks under his command was not random but was Jia Cong’s own divine authority.
As long as you have enough strength and merit, it will be enough.
If the accumulated merits are not enough, they will be like the Black and White Impermanence before, with a limit on the total amount of incense that can be offered to the gods, and they will not be able to confer titles on a large scale.
This also served as a reminder to Jia Cong.
The mystery of Shinto!
There may be places that have not yet been explored.
You can’t just rely on your status as a god to slack off on your own efforts.
……
The divine position was generated and came to Miaoyu’s head.
A divine light fell.
【Accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and your merits will be rewarded. Liu Jingmiao is appointed as the Chief of the Yin-Yang Department of the Ten Prefectures in Jiangnan Province (from the seventh rank)! 】
The brilliant voice rang in the ears of Miaoyu and Jia Cong at the same time.
Miaoyu got her Buddhist name when she became a nun with her hair uncut.
Liu Jingmiao is his real name.
“Miaoyu obeys the order!”
When the voice died down, Miaoyu spoke in response.
The priesthood then fell and became one with it.
The Yin-Yang Department is the head of the twenty-four departments of the City God’s Palace.
His duty is to assist the City God in supervising the management of both the Yin and Yang worlds.
He is one of the most powerful figures among all the ghosts and gods in the City God’s Palace, holding a high position and great power.
According to Jia Cong’s analysis of the future Shinto system.
In the future, each of the counties in the ten prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River will have twenty-four departments under the command of the city god of each county.
The rank of its chief priest ranges from the eighth rank to the full eighth rank.
Adopt a dual leadership system.
Take the Yin and Yang Department as an example.
The Yin-Yang Department of the County City God’s Office not only obeys the orders of the County City God, but is also under the jurisdiction of the Ten Prefectures General Office.
It is convenient to coordinate and handle matters across counties and even prefectures.
The same applies to other gods such as Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Face.
After becoming one with the priesthood.
The mixed incense hidden in the half of Miaoyu’s soul.
It suddenly turned from “highly poisonous” to “nutrient”!
The distortions and changes in his soul disappeared in just a few breaths.
Lines of divine power began to emerge.
Its strength also increased rapidly.
Over the past decade, the White Lotus Sect has been making painstaking plans for Miaoyu every year.
The merits he accumulated were more than those of several county city gods previously conferred by Jia Cong.
Plus the original incense and support.
“Buzz!”
Wait until the fusion of priesthood is completed.
Miaoyu broke through the limit of the third realm directly from the early stage of the third realm.
Only half a step away from the fourth realm.
This is the superiority of Shinto.
As long as there are enough incense sticks, even reaching the sky in one step can be easy.
The beautiful eyes opened.
The look in Miaoyu’s eyes when she looked at Jia Cong was filled with closeness, admiration and dependence.
Only by experiencing it yourself can you understand the greatness of Shinto.
The White Lotus Sect’s thousand-year plan has now been seen by Miaoyu, a seventh-rank priest.
It’s like child’s play.
“Miaoyu greets the Lord!”
“Thank you, Lord, for granting me the divine position.”
“No need to be so polite, Sister Miaoyu!”
Jia Cong raised his hand to support him.
Having become God’s own.
One glory and one glory.
The relationship is closer than that between relatives, friends and brothers.
Jia Cong’s face also revealed the warmth he only showed in front of his sisters at home.
“Sister Miaoyu, have you ever met the leader of the White Lotus Sect?”
After the three of them sat down again, Jia Cong asked.
“This……”
“The White Lotus Sect has three elders, and above the three elders are the leader and the deputy leader…”
“To be honest, I, the Saint, was previously said to be a deputy leader in the church.”
“In reality, it’s just an empty title. Even a Dharma King can’t control it.”
“In the past ten years, I have only seen one deputy leader, who was dressed like a Buddhist. However, I am not able to see his appearance clearly with my strength…”
Miaoyu looked apologetic.
“Buddhist monks…”
Jia Cong pondered for a moment.
When Emperor Taizu of Daqian was conquering the world, he received help from Longhu Mountain.
The Buddhist sect chose another powerful party to compete with Taizu for the dragon.
Therefore, after the founding of the country, the Xuanmen Taoist sect became increasingly prosperous.
Buddhism, on the other hand, has gradually become more low-key and seems to be declining.
In fact, it has more believers than the Xuanmen Taoist sect.
Coupled with countless years of long heritage, it is still a huge monster in secret.
Otherwise, Taizu would have settled the matter long ago after unifying the country.
“Whatever. We’ll meet sooner or later.”
There are too few clues to sort out any useful information.
After thinking for a moment, Jia Cong temporarily put it behind his mind.
“Now that the sacred roads in the ten prefectures of Jiangnan have just been established, there are not many people around me that I can trust and use.”
“Sister Miaoyu, why don’t you stay in Jiangnan for a while and take charge of the ten prefectures for me and build the sacred way.”
Jia Cong looked at Miaoyu.
On the surface, there is the influence of the Jiangnan Camp and the care of the Xue family.
There is also a half-step fourth-level god secretly in charge.
In addition, hundreds of gods are searching for ghosts with merits, and Shintoism is becoming more and more prosperous.
It is enough to let Jia Cong rest assured.
“It’s all up to the Lord!”
