Chapter 203 The Way of the Gods
Gu Qing went out to investigate and found out the truth. Most of what Catfish Spirit said was true.Moreover, Gu Qing ate the meat of so many monsters and gained memories, so he has a lot of experience with the breath of monsters.

If the catfish spirit did too many crimes, his aura would definitely not be as pure as he said now.

As for whether the catfish essence comes from the merit pool of Xumi Temple, Gu Qing has no way of verifying it, but this is not important. Knowing that this demon is meticulous and benevolent, the origin is secondary.

This big lake is also called Bibo Lake, not far from the big lake that Xiao Bai was in before.

It's only a few hundred miles away. If Gu Qing wants to explore the Heishui Zhenfu, it's convenient.

That being the case, Gu Qing decided to live in Bibo Lake for a while.

He went to the water mansion to meet the catfish spirit again and said, "If you want to enter the Taoist orthodox way, I have a way here, but your aptitude is mediocre, even if you have obtained the righteous way, it will be difficult for you to cultivate great supernatural powers and be at ease."

Catfish Spirit hurriedly said: "The little demon only wants to be able to enter the Taoist sect to get protection, it is better than being in danger and fear outside, what kind of supernatural powers, that is something I dare not even think about."

Gu Qing smiled slightly: "Since you think so, I feel relieved. Let me ask you, are you willing to be the water god of Bibo Lake?"

In ancient times, heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, beautiful lands, where the air and energy meet, there are natural gods. There are mountain gods in the mountains, and water gods in the water. Those gods are born powerful, but they are also fettered by mountains and rivers. The earth was turned upside down, it was severely damaged, and countless years of hard work became a painting.

Since the opening of the Qingyang Great Realm, with the passing of one after another catastrophe in the practice world, those spiritual mountains and rivers that were born with natural gods have never recovered their original appearance, and the gods among them have also fallen due to this.

Later, practitioners of Taoism and Qi Refining rose up and occupied the new spiritual mountain and blessed land, so it was difficult for new natural gods to be born.

Shinto practice has changed from innate to acquired.

Acquired Shinto is attached to Immortal Dao, such as Tianhe Sect and Sumeru Temple, there are talisman edicts to enshrine the gods of mountains and rivers. The two families attach great importance to this, and regard it as a convenient way to preach, so there are many frictions.

But there are also those like the Wanxiang sect, who rely on the great names of Kaishan Lu Zushi and others to attract many talents, and rely on the way of asking their hearts to screen out good talents and good qualities. In the past 1 years, there is no need to worry about inheritance for seven or eight thousand years. Therefore, he has never cared about the territory and preaching.

He didn't even care much about the Acquired Shinto.

Among the four sects and five sects, the only immortal sect that does not enshrine the gods.

Therefore, Gu Qing only found some records about the power of incense and fire in the sect.

It's just that now that the Wanxiang sect has changed its rules and moved closer to the mainstream Taoism, the matter of the divine way will be involved sooner or later.Therefore, Gu Qing firstly wanted to get involved in the mysteries of the divine way, and secondly, he also planned to make early preparations.

In the past, there were more porridge and fewer monks in each peak. After the entry rules are changed, there will only be more and more disciples, and they will never be the same as before.

Although Gu Qing himself would not have any worries in this regard, but he is the acting master of Xiwo Peak after all, and the master of Changsheng Peak who taught the Dharma to outsiders.

If it is a matter of the divine way, he will gain something first. In the future, the Wanxiang sect will spread the word and seal the gods of mountains and rivers. Xiwo Peak will take advantage of it.

What's more, the vow power of incense and fire also has many benefits. Even if Gu Qing doesn't major in Shinto, he can still observe the mysteries of heaven and earth contained in it. Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade and gain benefits.

Hearing Gu Qing's question, Catfish Spirit was stunned for a moment, and then complained: "Little demon, I'm afraid I'll be killed by someone in a few days after becoming a water god."

Gu Qing smiled and said: "It's okay, since I want you to be the god of water, I will naturally consider these. As long as you agree, I will give you practice methods, supernatural powers, Taoism, magic tools, medicines, and all necessary materials , At the same time, Pindao will also practice in Bibo Lake for a period of time. If there is an intruder, I will make him look good. When you sit firmly in this position, Pindao will let you belong to Xuanmen Dao. Then you can be a god of good fortune, how about it?"

Catfish spirit is still hesitant, after all, Gu Qing has promised too many benefits, and it doesn't know the truth or falsehood.

It's just that once this opportunity is missed, how can it have another 600 years to wait.

Seeing it hesitated, Gu Qing didn't rush it, smiled, waved his sleeves, and immediately the water mansion was full of precious light.The pearls and various practice materials in the catfish essence cave are like broken copper and rotten iron.

Gu Qing smiled and said: "I agree, these are yours."

Catfish Spirit hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The little one is willing to listen to the master's teaching."

After all, it still has some knowledge. Any one of these treasures is enough to cause a catastrophe for its demon life, but Gu Qing didn't care about throwing a lot of them, which shows Gu Qing's background.

The catfish spirit thought to himself that its humble life was not worthy of such a big man's calculation, so he no longer had any doubts.

What's more, even if Gu Qing plotted against it, it could only obey obediently in the face of such characters.

Gu Qing smiled and said: "Forget your knowledge, you can take some treasures and take them away, and I will teach you how to get started with the divine way."

The so-called method of getting started with the divine way is nothing more than making a living being believe in the existence of this god.

Therefore, if you believe it, there is, if you don't believe it, you don't have it.

Therefore, those spiritual mountains and great rivers were robbed, their lives were devastated, and the gods lost their believers, so naturally they will never recover.

It is rumored that there is an extremely powerful god who can transform the divine land of the kingdom of the gods and engulf the souls, but it is only difficult, far better than the achievement of the primordial spirit.

In the Qingyang practice world, if there are such people, they must be rarer than the number of true kings, and their achievements will not exceed the Taoist true kings, the great Bodhisattvas of the Buddhist sect.

Catfish spirit was honest, and only dared to take a seemingly inconspicuous treasure.

Seeing this, Gu Qing threw two more pieces at it.

Anyway, he made a lot of windfall when he came out this time, and the catfish spirit had to do things for him, if he had no reliance, it would be difficult to get things done well, and Gu Qing couldn't always take care of some small troubles.

In this way, according to Gu Qing's instructions, Catfish Spirit found those old people to build a temple for him, and at the same time pretended to be gods and ghosts several times, and weaved myths near Bibo Lake. In less than three months, Catfish Spirit had many believers in the area around Bibo Lake .

It has to receive the power of incense and fire, and the Shinto will naturally be introduced.

It is the water uncle of Bibo Lake.

Gu Qing also found a place to practice near Bibo Lake, feeling the good fortune of heaven and earth.

Sure enough, after Catfish Spirit became Shui Bo, Gu Qing noticed that the aura here was different from the past, and there was another law similar to Dao hidden in the aura of heaven and earth.

Gu Qing couldn't help but realized, "In the beginning, there was a god, and the god and the Tao were together."

Yuanshen is the god of oneself, and catfish spirit is the god of the lake.

Everything in the world has Tao and God, who is the master.

Tao is sovereign, and so is God.

Gu Qing further understands the way of practice, which is to understand the essential laws of all things in the world, either to control or to use them.

This is the so-called sympathy between man and nature, and the unity of man and nature.
