Chapter 15 The Holy King Establishes the Teachings of Shinto
"Goodness is the bone of a fairy, and passion is the heart of a Buddha?"

Qi Jingzhi silently chewed these ten words several times, and asked doubtfully, "That's enough? But, how should we proceed?"

"I follow the way of Yin Division ghosts and gods. In terms of position, I am just an assistant official under the seat of the county town god, and I am temporarily replaced by a yang body. I haven't been in office for a few years. I don't have many friends and background. I don't know much about human practice. I’m afraid I’m not as good as you in understanding, so how do you know how to proceed?”

Master Meng glanced at the young man, and carefully said his words: "You can kill the soul, maybe you have some extraordinary encounters, if it is passed down from your ancestors or in the army, maybe it is not called heart bone, but another way of saying it. But it ends up being the same in the end.”

Master Meng paused, and then added: "Oh, both the hunters and the army are heavily slaughtered, and a little bit of blood and evil is really nothing. You are a sense of proportion. From now on, you will only need to know how to restrain yourself. In addition, the soul is a soul that becomes a spirit, and its spirituality is far superior to that of ordinary people, and it may also have the method of cultivation... No matter what the situation is, you don't need to tell me, and I don't want to know."

Qi Jingzhi was dumbfounded, knowing that the other party had preconceived ideas, and only thought that he had received some inheritance from his grandfather, so he refused to continue studying honestly.

It's no wonder that he was too calm when facing Dong Mao, as if he was confident and dependable, not at all like an ordinary boy who had undergone a sudden change.

As for the exercises on Lingpo...

Qi Jingzhi's eyes flickered, and he pressed the thought first, and he was about to explain a thing or two.

But Master Meng waved his hand at him, and said solemnly: "I know that you look smooth and mature on the surface, but in fact you have a strong temper and a stubborn temper. Once you make up your mind, there is no room for change. Those two words are about the heart. It was mentioned by the City God by accident, and it is said that it was passed down from a holy place of practice outside of Daqi. You may wish to figure it out, even though it is a stone from another mountain, it may not be beneficial."

"Based on your family background, even if you have a method, I'm afraid it's not too advanced. Presumably you also know that those paths of practice that are truly extraordinary and refined, each have their own thresholds, each has its own difficulties and dangers, and they are not something you can take easily now. Set foot. Well... As a ghost, I have some convenience after all. When you have the power to protect yourself and have seen the dangers of the world, if you still don’t change your mind, it’s not too late to come to me and plan."

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi was moved, but also quite surprised. He didn't expect that even a ghost like Master Meng didn't have the method of practice. Only then did he truly realize the preciousness of the method and the difficulty of practice.

"That's right, since the growth of horns on the head depends on the ancestors, I'm afraid there are many strict requirements for the connections that the master said. My blood is ordinary and my background is also humble. Even if the master tells me now, it will probably only increase my troubles." .”

As Mencius said, Qi Jingzhi is a man of measure, and he knows that his master can tell him so much, he is already doing his best, and there should be no more extravagant demands.

"In this way, the skills that Lu Yunzi may possess can be regarded as a clear path. In any case, we must first enter the door and find out the details of the small bronze mirror. Well, the spirit mask has been passed by the mirror On the one hand, it’s also not good to talk to the master in detail, it’s better to ask more about ghosts, gods and demons.”

Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi raised his head and smiled gratefully at the teacher: "Thank you, Master, for your understanding! The students still want to ask, has the tiger on Nangang become a spirit? The yamen, isn’t the imperial court raising it to eat free food?”

"Your grandfather is right, that evil animal is indeed extraordinary. Speaking of it, it is actually the responsibility of the mountain master and the water master to restrain the mountain spirit and water monster. However, there is no mountain god in this county now, and the Lord City God can only do his best to maintain it. As for the Town Demon Academy...do you think there are so many strangers and monks in the world?"

Master Meng twirled the three long beards under his jaw with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Our Daqi has a vast territory and many cities. According to the system of suppressing demons, there should be a general for suppressing demons in each state city, and a general for suppressing demons in each county. Captain Zhenmo, this is already stretched. The three divisions and one hall in the capital are even less populated and have heavy responsibilities. It’s not that you can’t see them doing things, so they really eat vegetarian meals.”

"Furthermore, ordinary spirits and monsters have limited ability, and mortals can get rid of them by gathering a crowd. If the three classes of government servants and the hunters in the mountains are not good enough, they will offer rewards to the Jianghu. An alien monk?"

Speaking of this, Master Meng suddenly paused, seemed to ponder over his wording, and then continued: "When it is necessary, the king of the country will come down, and it is not impossible for the ghosts and spirits of the city god to act beyond the boundary. It's just that it is easy to take power when it is delegated." Difficult, this kind of thing is not in accordance with the rules after all, it will not only make the boundary between Yin and Yang disappear, but also cause dissatisfaction of the Demon Town Academy."

"The tiger spirit on Nangang has been raging for so long. The root cause is that the county magistrate and the canonist have restrained each other and failed to mobilize their power. Otherwise, even if the county government is unable to eradicate it, they only need to ask for help early. It should have arrived earlier."

Qi Jingzhi nodded again and again: "Master, what you mean is that the tiger in Nangang cannibalizes people. It looks like a monster is causing trouble, but in the end it is a man-made disaster?"

Hearing this, Master Meng opened his mouth, but he didn't say any rebuttal words after all.

He couldn't pretend that he didn't hear it, so he said dryly: "There are still people with insight who care about the common people. Otherwise, who do you think reported Lu Ao's affairs to attract Dong Mao who happened to be here on inspection?"

"The job of the Wuyun Division is to picket all evil spirits and lawlessness in the country. Since Dong Mao is here, he will not sit idly by. Even if the gentlemen in the county are not willing to expose their family scandals, Lu Ao will definitely open this for his parents and family. mouth."

Qi Jingzhi saw the smug expression on Master Meng's face when he said this, and he knew in his heart that the so-called insightful people who cared about the common people were probably this Meng Sigong who had his feet on yin and yang, and also understood people and ghosts.

He is the only one who not only has the channels of the underworld to know the reality of the tiger spirit and Lu Ao's changes, but also can use the means of the yang world to report the news of Lu Ao to the county.In this way, not only will the tiger's problem be relieved, but it will also not be charged with the crime of the Yin Division crossing the border and interfering in the human world, offending Zhenmoyuan for nothing.

"No, if the person who is attracted this time is the town's demon captain, then everyone will be happy. But today it is Dong Mao from the Wuyun Division of the capital. In this way, it is not only the All the lords in the county, as well as the captain of Zhenmo in this county. If something like this happened in his jurisdiction, and he was bumped into by the Jinyun envoy who came out to inspect, wouldn't he be humiliated?"

Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi glanced at Master Meng, but he didn't point it out after all. Anyway, with the wisdom of the teacher, he would think of it sooner or later.

When Master Meng saw that the young man was enlightened, he looked at him in a different way. He also knew that the young man knew, so he couldn't help feeling relieved.

He couldn't help pointing Jiang Shan and said: "Actually, the best way is to enshrine the mountain god, adjust the yin and yang step by step, gather the spiritual energy, and pinch the lifeblood of the mountain spirits from the root, or eradicate them with thunder, or use spring wind to transform rain, and slowly control and enlighten them." , and finally incorporated into the system, it will naturally be peaceful and harmless to people!"

"However, conferring the gods is not an easy task... It is difficult to find a candidate, and if the virtue is not worthy, the country's fortune will be damaged."

"Secondly, the procedures are cumbersome, and it is impossible to seal them twice in three days. You have to accumulate a batch over the years. It is not uncommon for some unimportant gods to hang vacant for a hundred years without being replaced."

"Three times, the king's heart is unpredictable. Sometimes some too important gods will also hang for a long time, such as the capital city god...cough cough..."

Knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue, Master Meng hurriedly coughed twice to cover it up, and then changed the topic: "In addition to conferring a new mountain god, the Lord City God will extend the authority step by step, the effect is the same, but it also takes time and cannot be done overnight. .”

Just at this time, the courtyard door of the private school suddenly opened and closed, and then a gust of wind blew in.

Meng Fuzi restrained his expression, looked up into the air, and said in a deep voice, "How is it?"

The voice of the Riyou God followed closely: "Reporting to the company, the old mandrill in Xiaosongshan is still there, and the Yellow Spring is unblocked, and there is no abnormality along the way. In addition, the City God has ordered that the drum will be played at three o'clock tonight, and I will go to the hall to ask questions on time. Please Get ready for the public."

Meng Fuzi immediately nodded slightly, and said in his mouth: "I understand, you can go now."

"As ordered!"

The previous gust of wind circled around the house and went out through the window again.

Qi Jingzhi saw it from the beginning to the end, and his face couldn't help but become weird.

The Japanese wandering god obviously left quietly last time, but this time he entered and exited in such a manner, is this to show that he has just returned, and he has not heard any outrageous comments from Meng Sigong?

"So cautious, I'm afraid that Shangguan will not like it. Such a ghost of the underworld, really don't matter."

He was thinking like this, but he saw that Meng Fuzi's face suddenly turned dark for some reason.

The next moment, the young man heard the resident ghost and god say with some displeasure: "Just now I mentioned that the position of the god is vacant, so it's fine for a miscellaneous official like me. I heard that even the town god of the county has a temporary yang body... "

"Hey, this man hasn't died yet. He is busy making a living during the day, but he also has to do the errands of the underworld at night. He is suffering, who can he ask for reason?"
