Double Journey to the West: Suppress Buddhism and Taoism at the beginning

Chapter 79 The edict will be sealed on another day!

When Old Turtle saw Lin Yao, he was very happy. He slowly crawled over with all four limbs together, bowed to Lin Yao like a human being, and said, "Old Turtle pays homage to the Imperial Master."

"I heard that you are not going back to Tongtianhe, but you are waiting for me here?"

Lin Yao said: "You have nothing to do to show your courtesy, tell me, what do you want from me?"

The old turtle kept kneeling down, looking like a man kowtowing.

"After the old turtle became a spirit, he spent more than a thousand years in the Tongtian River. Although his body has been growing, his lifespan does not know when it will end, and he cannot transform."

"I was lucky enough to meet the Grand Master in the past. I know very well that the Grand Master has the power to penetrate the heavens and the earth."

Old Turtle kowtowed and said, "Old Turtle is willing to become a disciple of the Imperial Master just to seek the method of immortality and transformation."

As the old turtle spoke, he kept kowtowing to Lin Yao.

Lin Yao was unmoved and didn't even look at him.

The old turtle couldn't help but kowtow, and it took a long time before Lin Yao made a sound.

"Your calculation is very good."

"But how can there be any idle people under my sect?"

Having said this, Lin Yao glanced at Old Turtle: "Old Turtle, you usually don't do any serious evil, but you don't have any great merits. How can you join my family?

Becoming his disciple does not mean becoming his teacher.

Even pets and mounts are considered subordinates.

However, the old turtle does not have any advantage. Although he has not done bad things, he has not done many good things.

Besides, he was not a rare species, so there was no need for Lin Yao to take him under his wing.

When the old turtle heard this, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

But at this moment, Lin Yao's voice sounded again.

"Since all you want is immortality, then you don't have to go out of your way to become my disciple..."

The old turtle was overjoyed, raised his head and said: "Thank you, Imperial Master, thank you very much."

Before he finished speaking, Old Turtle began to kowtow to the Imperial Master again.

"Old turtle, you really have lived all these years in vain, you are quite clever." Lin Yao laughed and scolded.

He could still see the old turtle's cleverness.

When Lao Gui heard what Lin Yao said, his first thought was not to ask Lin Yao what his method was.

Instead, he said thank you to Lin Yao.

This is tantamount to not giving Lin Yao any hesitation or any chance to regret.

Of course, Lin Yao noticed Lao Gui's thoughts, but he did not reject it. Instead, he explained the specific method.

"You have a different bloodline in your body, so even if you don't practice, you can still develop wisdom and live longer than ordinary turtles."

"But if we continue like this, we can only wait until our lifespan is up, and we will never have the chance to transform."

Lin Yao thought for a while and said, "However, it is not hopeless now."

Lin Yao spoke very slowly, and Lao Gui listened attentively.

The Jade Rabbit behind him was also aroused by his words and thought about what Lin Yao's hope was. The old turtle quickly kowtowed and said: "Please give me some advice from the National Master!"

"That is the art of conferring gods!" Lin Yao said slowly.

Lao Gui murmured in a low voice, listening to Lin Yao's suggestion.

"The Art of Conferring Gods."

Jade Rabbit murmured to himself, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "But considering this old turtle's condition, how can he become a god?"

"Of course it is based on the humane method of conferring gods."

Lin Yao said calmly: "To confer humane deity, Chechi Kingdom must first inform the world, and then worship Huang Tian and Hou Tu."

"When the time comes, I will use the power of humanity to make Old Turtle the River God of Chechi Country, and enjoy the incense of Chechi Country for thousands of years."

"At the same time, if you go to heaven and get the order from heaven, you will be justified and have authority."

Jade Rabbit couldn't help but ask why Heaven would agree and recognize such a "wild god", but then he thought about it, and with Lin Yao's "identity", it didn't seem impossible. Normally, these are impossible.

However, with Lin Yao here, all the impossible will become possible.

"Humanity seal..."

The old turtle muttered something, somewhat unclear.

However, he still had some sense and knew that this would probably trouble Lin Yao.

"Old turtle, everything will be arranged by the Grand Master."

The method of humane deification of gods is not uncommon.

In the East, the custom of worshiping ancestors has existed since ancient times.

It is precisely because of this that "ancestral spirits" and "village spirits" appear.

And those famous figures, worshiped by countless people, may also become gods.

For example, the famous Guan Yu was named the Great Demon-Suppressing Emperor of the Three Realms, the Divine Power of Yuanzhen Tianzun, and the Holy Emperor Guan...

So much so that later Taoist priests often invited this great god when they invited gods.

Like this, it is a model of humane deity.

The Heavenly Gods Conferring Gods refers to the age of conferring gods, using a list of conferring gods to confer 365 gods.

In addition, in modern times, it was the Jade Emperor who represented the way of heaven and was in charge of the gods. He also had the power to canonize gods.

The power of humanity to confer gods has not stopped during this process.

Therefore, Lin Yao's proposal of "humane deification" was not groundless.

Lin Yao gave Lao Gui a chance to become a god!

According to the humane principles of the Chechi Kingdom, Lao Gui was made a god by imperial edict, and then reported to heaven, received approval from His Majesty the Jade Emperor, and canonized him as a priest. This was a complete process!

This is a way to get the best of both worlds.

If Old Turtle could become a god, he would no longer have to worry about lifespan and transformation.

Because once you succeed in becoming a god, even if you cannot transform into a god, you can still use your soul to condense your divine body.

In addition, making Laogui a god can also make up for Che Chiguo's shortcomings!

The country of Chechi is not big to begin with.

The country of Chechi has land and a mountain god.

However, there is one missing water god.

This is also one of the reasons why Che Chiguo has never been able to have good weather.

Of course, another important reason why there are no river gods or water gods is that before this, there was no big river in the Chechi Kingdom.

But this time, things are different.

It took Chechi State a long time to dig out an artificial river here and divert a branch of the Tongtian River. Only then did Chechi State have its own river.

However, this abundant river water is only temporary, as unstable as duckweed in the water, because there is no real water source and no water god.

So, Lin Yao thought of a humane way to become a god!

If this old turtle is canonized as a god, he can bless Chechi Country and let their people live a good life in the days to come.

Lin Yao's previous wanderings in the sky also strengthened his ideas and made his guesses possible to become reality.

Lao Gui's gratitude to Lin Yao did not surprise Lin Yao.

After all, in Lao Gui's view, this is simply a great blessing!

Once he becomes a god, Lao Gui will be a god between heaven and earth, and he can even cultivate his god with the help of Chechi's luck and incense.

Isn't that much better than the penance on the Tongtian River?
  Lao Gui knows this very well and naturally has no objections.

"In that case, just wait!"

Lin Yao said calmly: "When Che Chiguo's side is ready, everything will be ready, and we will start the sealing at a certain date."
