Chapter 196: Distinguish your true self and the essence of Shinto!
“rule!”

“authority!”

Soon, Jia Cong summed up the characteristics of gods.

The innate gods were born from heaven and earth.

Shinto is a kind of rule of heaven and earth.

Responsible for maintaining the operation of heaven and earth and protecting all living beings.

Therefore, the innate gods are immortal. Even if they fall temporarily, this world will be left with a mark, and they will be resurrected sooner or later.

This is because the existence of gods is part of the rules of heaven and earth. If heaven and earth do not perish, how can the rules be broken?
As the number of incense sticks increases and the level of Shintoism improves, the power of the gods will become stronger and stronger.

This incense is equivalent to the assessment standard given to the gods by heaven and earth.

The higher the standard achieved, the greater the authority over the rules that can be controlled.

“Shinto requires cultivating the mind!”

“Cultivate your character!”

“Cultivation!”

After a moment, a gleam of light flashed in Jia Cong’s eyes.

Finally came to a conclusion.

The so-called self-cultivation and self-cultivation!
There is also this saying in Taoism.

It’s just that the cultivation of mind and nature in Xuanmen refers to nurturing one’s nature, cultivating one’s temperament, maintaining inner peace, so as to practice meditation better without distractions.

But Shinto’s cultivation of the mind and character is exactly the opposite of this.

To be precise, it is cultivation. The “true” here means the true nature!
For the heaven and earth, gods are indispensable to maintaining the operation of the heaven and earth. Of course, we hope that they can put aside their emotions and be fair and selfless.

But for Jia Cong, if he had no personal feelings, then he would be no different from a puppet of heaven and earth.

The awakening of innate wisdom and the indifference of gods at their birth are the result of the influence of Shintoism.

Fortunately, as her feelings for her sisters, including Sanchun, Daiyu, and Baochai, grew deeper, her human side was gradually revealed.

But I accidentally got on the right path.

Therefore, in Shintoism, one must not be tempted or endure hardship, but rather release one’s nature and always maintain one’s human feelings.

To master Shinto, rather than integrate into Shinto.

“Buzz!”

One day, there was a sudden enlightenment and the Shinto image appeared out of nowhere.

Thousands of divine lights surged, majestic and magnificent!
The divine power flows through the body like a surging river.

“The only thing separating the holy from the mundane is a patch of grass.”

“Going with the flow is the ordinary path. Going against the flow is the holy path.”

“It’s really just a matter of one thought, it makes a world of difference!”

Jia Cong felt the current situation and couldn’t help but whisper.

Change your mind and reveal your true self!

It was not until this time that Jia Cong truly mastered the power of the gods.

He is an innate god, and also Jia Cong himself!

The clergy rank is still the sixth-rank clergyman, the Inspector of Jiangnan Road!

But the use of divine power is completely different from before.

The strength has been further improved and can truly be compared to the late fourth realm!
……

After completely mastering the divine way, Jia Cong once again turned his attention to the literary spirit of great scholars.

The Confucian and Taoist cultivation of the mind, this literary spirit is naturally not as powerful as the Yin God cultivated by the Xuanmen Yin God.

It is hard to say how powerful the ghosts and gods are after being conferred an imperial decree.

While hesitating, a low growl suddenly sounded outside the door.

With a strong desire.

When Jia Cong heard the voice, something moved his mind.

The door is open.

“Owner……”

The big white tiger on his mount ran in with a ferocious look and rubbed against Jia Cong.

It was clearly a tiger face, but he had a flattering smile on his face.

“You are quite clever, you have a dog’s nose.”

“Well, I promised you that I would help you become the demon king one day.”

“Today I will grant you an opportunity!”

“Whether you succeed or not depends on you!”

Jia Cong thought about it and put Hongru Wenpo into the mouth of his mount Dabai.

“Thank you, Master!”

Dabai thanked him respectfully, and then quickly closed his eyes to refine the spirit of this great scholar. A trace of strange bloody aura emanated from the white tiger.

Gradually, a blood cocoon was formed.

Constantly expanding and contracting, just like breathing.

With a mysterious rhythm.

Seeing that Baihu was fine, Jia Cong sat cross-legged in the room.

Meditate and feel the changes in your Shinto cultivation after your state of mind has changed.

In this way, a month passed in a flash.

Since then, a fourth battle broke out at the dock for two consecutive days.

Although ordinary people don’t know what is happening.

But all the powerful people in Shenjing knew that the two huge forces were going to have a great battle in Shenjing City.

I thought it would be a fierce battle between dragons and tigers.

I didn’t expect it to be so quiet for more than a month.

Only the most powerful people in Shenjing City know about it.

This is just the calm before the storm.

The quieter it gets, the more terrifying the treacherous storm brewing in secret will become when it erupts.

As a result, the number of playboys that used to be seen on the market has decreased.

The Eight Great Hutongs were already affected by Jia Cong’s actions.

Business has been extremely slow in the past few days, almost hitting rock bottom.

Royal Palace
imperial study room

“My dear, has Jia Cong made any moves in the past few days?”

Emperor Shunde rubbed his forehead after reviewing a memorial.

After calming down a bit, he asked casually.

“Your Majesty, Marquis Jing’an has not left the palace for the past month.”

“I asked the Imperial City Department’s priests to watch from afar.”

“The blood dragon and the martial arts master are guarding the Marquis’s mansion, and the formation is always activated…”

“In the sky above Tongxi Hall in the mansion, Princess Anguo and Taoist Master Dao Miao Zi Yu San Xiang Zhenren are protecting the law…”

Xia Shouzhong respectfully reported the intelligence collected by the Imperial City Bureau to Emperor Shunde.

Taoist Miao Ziyu Sanxiang Zhenren is Miaoyu’s official title.

It was an honorary title bestowed by Emperor Shunde after the Korean War.

“Where are the people from the Kong family and the Jingming sect?”

“The Lord Yansheng of the Kong family and the elder of the clan are staying at the Anping Inn in the city.”

“Half a month ago, the Kong family sent another fleet to Beijing, bringing with them a lot of people.”

“As for the one from the Jingming Sect.”

“I am incompetent. The Imperial City Department has failed to find out the whereabouts of the fourth-level person of the Jingming Sect.”

“I know, it’s not your fault!”

Emperor Shunde nodded and said something comforting.

After all, the Imperial City Administration was established only after he ascended the throne.

The real development started last year when Jia Cong sent a large sum of silver after he slaughtered the salt merchants in Jiangnan.

The most powerful worshipper is just a third-level god-refining person who was recruited recently.

It is normal that we cannot find out the whereabouts of the fourth realm.

“Jingming Sect? Humph!”

“I went to the Royal Secret Library to check the day before yesterday. After Taizu gained a foothold in the uprising, he sent envoys to the Jingming Sect three times to deliver letters.”

“As a result, the messengers were all beheaded.”

“I thought that the Jingming Sect would never come out again in the Daqian Dynasty, but I didn’t expect that they would collude with the Kong family and openly enter the capital.”

Emperor Shunde snorted coldly, expressing his dissatisfaction.

There are many Taoist sects that have added the “Fulongting” method.

In times of chaos, supporting one side and competing for supremacy over the world can bring huge benefits if successful.

If he fails, he will call back his disciples and close the mountain until the next time of troubled times.

The newly established dynasty gained face, and since the other party had a strong foundation, it would not pursue the matter too much.

But during the last chaotic times, the Jingming faction supported the Yuan court.

Now they even dare to send people to Beijing openly.

That would be tantamount to a provocation.
