Miro Blue Scroll

Chapter 37

"Although this Puming Mountain is not high, and its inspiration is far less than that of a fairy mountain and blessed place, it is better than the pure breath. Therefore, when I set up the Taoist temple, I focused on keeping the inspiration here pure. Can you see if there is anything you need to add?"

After walking around the Taoist temple, Qian Zhiwen asked Mi Luo for his opinion.

Mi Luo didn't have too high demands on Pumingshan's vitality and inspiration.

After all, no matter how strong the vitality and inspiration from the outside world are, it is bound to be inferior to his practice in Miao Youzong.

On the contrary, pure vitality and inspiration are more suitable for Mi Luo's practice of "Yuhua Tianqing Food Qi Method".

Therefore, he thought for a while, and said: "There is nothing wrong with the overall layout. It's just that this place is used for offering sacrifices. Where is your lord going to choose? Also, where do you think it would be better to put the remnant soul I brought back from the illusory realm?" ?”

Qian Zhiwen didn't answer the question about the sacrifice, but directly discussed with Mi Luo about the remnant soul: "Speaking of the remnant soul, the two ghosts you brought back from the illusory realm should also be able to accept incense offerings."

Mi Luo heard the words, thought for a while, and said: "I haven't tried it yet, and I can't be sure, but it should be possible."

"Since that's the case, how about enshrining it in the vacant seats on the left and right sides of the Fumo Hall as a sacrifice to the True Monarch Fumo?"

Mi Luo frowned slightly when he heard the words: "Although the main deity enshrined in the Temple of Subduing Demons has always been the True Monarch Fumo, and the auxiliary gods are the guardian deities of various families. But these auxiliary gods have either received jade seals from the people, or received edicts and edicts."

"And I got the two ghosts from the illusory realm. Although they have the ability to patrol and guide and seduce souls, they can theoretically protect all parts of Lu'an County at night and prevent ghosts from making troubles. They can be regarded as Dharma protectors. But the two, There is no edict, decree, or jade seal, so it is better not to set up a statue of the god, but to enshrine the spirit tablet at the corner of the mountain gate."

Qian Zhiwen said with a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Fellow Daoists are well thought out, but don't worry too much. There are still a few places in the county that can be canonized from the ninth rank of ghosts and gods. You can exchange them for meritorious deeds. With your current wealth, you can exchange for two It is not difficult to obtain a god position from the ninth rank."

"My lord, don't frame me. Let's not talk about the merits required to get from the ninth-rank god position. Just my two ghosts, I don't know if I can keep one side safe. What's the use of inviting the god position early? It's just I am just looking for embarrassment for myself ten years later. It is better to enshrine the spirit card first, and if there is a success in the future, it will not be too late to ask for canonization."

Yun An heard the words and scolded with a smile: "If there is a miracle, the common people should enshrine it. At that time, ghost messengers have their own jade seals, why bother asking for canonization?"

"Yun An, what you said is wrong. Jade can be recognized as a god, although it is recognized by the six officials, but it is not orthodox after all. If the Shinto wants to go further, it still needs a formal canonization." Mi Luo retorted with a smile What Yun An said.

And the edict, edict and jade seal that he mentioned successively are the canonization methods of the three gods on the land of Hanxia.

In today's Hanxia, ​​all the important authorities of heaven and earth already have masters, so Shinto monks are very rare.

The vast majority of gods are immortal monks, or canonized by heroic souls, and are somewhat similar to officials in nature.

The level of canonized gods is divided into nine grades and eighteen levels from top to bottom. There are generally six types of canonization methods: edict, imperial edict, system, edict, imperial edict and jade.

Among them, edict has the meaning of widely publicizing. It is the highest-level method of conferring gods among all the methods of conferring gods. It is called imperial edict.

Once the canonization is successful, the corresponding god must be the great god with the authority to influence the entire land of Hanxia.

Secondly, imperial seals have a certain warning meaning. Except for the canonization of the emperor, only the official documents of the gods signed by the six officials can be called imperial seals, corresponding to the second and third grade gods, and the scope of influence is at least several states. The largest uniform product is average, affecting the entire land of Hanxia.

Thirdly, seal-making refers to the canonization based on the system. It is generally used to confer local gods in the state. Most of them are recommended by local officials. After the assessment of one of the six official officials, they are directly issued. The gods are mostly sixth to fourth rank. .

The enfeoffment that followed was also the most common form of canonization with the most sources.It can be a canonization official document issued by a spring official, a plaque can also be presented by a local official, or it can be granted by some great gods.The scope of influence is between one county and several prefectures, and the span of god positions is also the largest, ranging from ninth rank to fifth rank.

For example, several canonized official documents stored in Lu'an County belong to the first-class imperial seals.

It should be noted that most of the canonized gods born from the six-organ system have a time limit, and most of them have only ten years for such tiny gods as the nine-rank gods.

Ten years later, local officials will conduct an assessment and investigation based on what the deity in charge of the god has done during the ten years.

Then according to the actual situation, carry out rewards or punishments.

Entitlement is the last orthodox way of enshrining gods, and most of them are gods that emperors casually enshrine when they travel.Some gods who enjoy the throne of kings and emperors, and the gods who openly canonize, can also be called envoys.

The scope of its influence is mostly only one county, and very few can spread to one county. Most of the gods are seventh, eighth, or ninth rank.

As for the jade seal under the edict, strictly speaking, it is actually a sacrificial offering, referring to the people of one side, who condense into a god because of their respect and belief.For this kind of gods, local officials usually conduct investigations. If there are no bad deeds, they will generally not take too much care, but they will not be canonized.

As far as the existing records of gods in Hanxia land, there is no god who has ascended to the rank of gods above the seventh rank simply by relying on jade seals.

Moreover, most of the jade-enclosed gods will be hijacked by the power of incense and fire in the later stage, and will be transformed into images in the hearts of believers.

This is also the reason why Mi Luo is not optimistic about Yufeng.

In the final analysis, the root of the two ghost messengers [Extradition Envoy] and [Ecstasy Envoy] comes from Mi Luo's accompanying treasure. If it is really changed by the power of the incense, I don't know what mess it will cause.

Why should he make a dangerous attempt when there are safer ways?
Qian Zhiwen, who didn't know the inside story, had a very good sense of Mi Luo's words, nodded and said: "What Mi Luo said is very true, the divine way is the same as the Confucianism and Taoism I learned, and it is the righteous way in the world. It is enough to be steady and steady. Why ask for those things?" Heretics? The method of jade sealing seems to be a shortcut, but if you want to canonize it again in the future, there will be a lot of procedures. In comparison, what you get is far less than what you lose."

After finishing speaking, Qian Zhiwen thought for a while, and then said: "It's just that if your two ghost messengers are enshrined in the corner of the mountain gate in the form of spirit cards, those souls are not easy to put together with the ghost messengers. There must be a room dedicated to the Lord of Rescue from Suffering and Misfortune as the main god, and the left and right can be dedicated to Hugong Xianweng and Mrs. Yousi Linshui."

Mi Luo nodded secretly when he heard that, Hu Gongxian Weng and Yousi Linshui Lady are also two gods often enshrined in southern Taoist temples.

Both of them were immortal monks in their predecessors. Among them, Hugong Xianweng was originally from Jingzhou. He was enshrined for helping the people in many places and dispersing the plague.

After being recommended by local officials, Chunguan issued a canonized official document, became a local god, enjoyed incense and sacrifices, and was a fourth-rank deity. After years of dissemination, the belief spanned the two states of Jingyang in the south.

Mrs. Yousi Linshui died to save people, and was recommended by local officials, and Chunguan issued a canonization official document and transferred to Shinto.

At the beginning, he was a deity of the sixth rank. Later, because of protecting one party, he appeared from time to time, went in and out of the delivery room, sheltered women, and protected the fetus. He was widely loved by the people, and he was granted several times.
