God and mystery

Chapter 57 The God of Changing Faces

"It's five watch, still sitting in front of the main hall of Dongyue Temple and sleeping! Stand up for this commander!"

After the people from Beizhen Fusi took control of the place, the flag-bearer guard took over the security work at the gate. Luo Sigong, as the commander of Jinyiwei who just took office, became the number one lackey in Daming.

Although he went to Beizhen Fusi before to accept the divine position left by the previous one, he didn't expect that Emperor Wanli had something to do this early in the morning, so he didn't have time to invite him.

Immediately after he entered, he acted like a minion, his eyes widened, and his big hand slapped the table. The dozing red-clothed Taoist man had long since been woken up by fright. At this moment, he stood up and stood still.

"You, you are."

In the main hall of the temple, the Taoist priest in red sleeping in front of the Daiyue Hall is a temple congratulatory.

Dao officials with positions in the capital are dressed like this. If they are out of Dao Lu Siren, they are green and gold, which looks particularly environmentally friendly.
Ji Xiang's clothes have not changed, because the things are not ready to be delivered, so he is still wearing a azure big crane cloak. In fact, what the Wanli Emperor bestows should be red and black. Moral people will give "soap cloak".

The Taoist priest in the big red Taoist clothes stood up and saw the uniform flying fish clothes, plus a group of heavenly soldiers, he was immediately terrified, and he didn't know what to say.

"Are you the temple blessing here?"

Luo Sigong asked him to stand up and asked, indicating who was in front of him, and reported the account!
The big red-clothed Taoist hurriedly said:
"Reporting to the lord, Pindao was sent by Longhu Mountain Zhengyiguan, and now he is affiliated to Taichang Temple, the god of optimism, for Erzhiguan, and Dongyue Temple, Tian Fengyu."

Taichang Temple has an ancient origin and existed in the Qin Dynasty. At that time, it was called Fengchang. After the Han Dynasty, it was changed to Taichang. It was one of the nine temples in the Tang Dynasty, and now it is one of the five temples in the Ming Dynasty. administrative agency.

For example, offering sacrifices to ancestors, comforting the gods, taking care of temples, playing music, singing and dancing, beating gongs and drums, formulating etiquette and the Imperial Physician Department are also affiliated to the institutions under Taichang Temple.

And God is optimistic, and it is also an institution under Taichang Temple.

Shenlan was built in the 11th year of Ming Hongwu and belonged to Taichang Temple. The original office was in Yingtianfu. Yongle was moved to Shuntianfu in the 18th year of Yongle. The office was located near the Temple of Heaven. , by Tidian, Zhiguan and other officials in charge.

The staff inside are all Taoist officials. Of course, the highest level of Taoist officials is a "spiritual optimistic suggestion", which belongs to the sixth grade.

After all, the makers of the real etiquette are Confucianists, so the sacrificial institutions of the Taoist sect are just a card in the Ming court. The gods of the sixth rank are optimistic, but for ministers, this rank is considered to be high.

Therefore, the second assistant in the cabinet, Shen Yiyi, will tell Ji Xiang to come and study. After all, only by reading can he become a higher official. Moreover, Ji Xiang's official character is a real official, and he belongs to the Confucian bureaucracy that has entered the serious Confucian classics. , this is a big system, and people like God and Optimism belong to idle people who are outside the big system.

If you don't give up your Daoist status, even if the emperor gives you an official body, you will be promoted to the fourth grade at most.

This is probably the difference between regular workers and contract workers.

And the "two perceptions" mentioned by this temple Zhuo is the second perception in God's optimism. From the ninth grade, it is really the official of sesame and mung bean.

Luo Sigong asked the temple blessing: "Is there anything abnormal in Dongyue Temple last night?"

"Reporting to my lord, there was nothing abnormal in Dongyue Temple last night, and Pindao has been sitting here."

"I see that you slept so sweetly, you don't know anything, do you?"

Miaozhu showed an embarrassed but polite smile.

Jinyiwei's people searched the Dongyue Temple, and every temple and every statue was carefully searched and checked.

Beizhen Fusi's method was something that Luo Sigong could not have imagined. This time, it was the Marquis Lingling, one of the three generals in Tianmen, who was able to detect the subtle changes in the killing by the water method. All will be obliterated by him.

Only to see the white air in the eyes of this heavenly general, like the size of an egg, suddenly stopped and turned into two bright mirrors.

Before he went to the main hall, in the interior scene of Ji Xiang, the description of the divine card already appeared:

[Bao Zhao Fa Eye: Also known as the Great Ming Bao Jing, the white air in the two eyes is as big as a chicken, and it becomes two bright mirrors in front of the face, which can illuminate 24 spirits in one body and make the hole clear.It can also see the fractal and scattered things, the primordial spirit of life and death, control the changes of all demons, and enslave thousands of elves and ghosts to prevent disasters from happening. 】

Baozhao's eyes are looking at the strangeness of evil spirits. When the heavenly general enters the main hall, he sees statues of the 76 gods and masters of the underworld placed on both sides. Good looking.

Also, the 76 statues in Dongyue Temple are the main gods of the Yin Division. If they are caught by the Yin Division, they will suffer.

Even if you bring a smiley face and let you praise it, do you dare not to do so?It seems that the "service" is not yet in place.

Of course, apart from the 76 gods, there are many other statues, such as Yaowang, Guandi, Dongyue Sanlang, Xishen, Wenchang Emperor, Stove Lord, Zhenwu Emperor, etc. These are all statues for worship. The gods enjoy the incense, but in fact their relationship with Yinsi is not so close.

As for the 72 red shops and the 76 Yin divisions, there are several divisions that do not have administrative red shops, but have separate shrines.

He entered the main hall and carefully observed the situation in the Dongyue Temple. Suddenly, he saw two statues. The incense in these two statues was out of order, and the face of the law was also closed-eyed and kind, out of tune with the surrounding gods.

In Fa's eyes, the faces of the two statues, and the entire body, seem to be separated.

The heaven will come to the temple to pray, and ask:
"Tian Fengyu Temple Blessing, I watched it with my discerning eyes. Why did I quickly report the statue of the Lord Si and the headmaster signed the statue of the God of Si, and the positions of the statue were moved, so that the incense of the Yin Si couldn't be dedicated?"

His voice was cold and seemed to have no emotion, as if the next sentence, if you said something wrong, he raised his hand and slapped you into mud.

There are 76 divisions in the Yin Division, and the Division of Quick Reporting. Taoism believes that "the retribution of good and evil follows each other like a shadow".The benefits or disasters that people encounter in their daily life are all caused by their good and evil actions.The Lord of this division is Yue Fei.

But this Yue Fei, of course, is the division of the Yin Division. After all, Yue Fei has a lot of various priesthoods.

"These two statues of gods were not repaired five years ago. Where did these two statues come from?"

Temple Zhu said: "A few days ago, the face of the old statue suddenly cracked. I don't know why. I led some Taoists to check it. I think it was caused by the rats in the temple eating the statue."

"So I changed two faces for them again. The incense is out of order. Maybe it's the statue itself, and the newly changed faces haven't run in yet."
