Chapter 69 The Profound Meaning of Sacrifices

At night, Zhang Wei was half asleep when he suddenly saw three golden gods descending from the sky.

The head Kamito wore official uniforms, and the two Kamitos behind him were dressed as servants.

The leader of the gods greeted Zhang Wei, and then said: "Congratulations, fellow Daoist, for ascending the throne of Tian Cao!"

He paused, then continued: "I am the seventh-rank celestial official of the Western Leiguang Academy, and I have been ordered to read the appointment of fellow Taoists."

After speaking, he opened a piece of green paper and read.

"Today, there is a Taoist Zhang Wei, who has a noble character and profound cultivation. He has been recommended for the position of Tiancao. After inspection by the chief of the three halls, it is agreed that Taoist Zhang Wei will be admitted to the position of Tiancao, and hereby announced."

After he finished speaking, he said to the dumbfounded Zhang Wei, "Fellow Daoist still hasn't thanked him!"

When Zhang Wei heard this, he hurriedly bowed to the sky and said, "Zhang Wei, thank you."

The man nodded in satisfaction, then took out two objects from the hands of the two behind him.

One of them was a token, and he said, "This is your Heavenly Cao Ling, which is a proof of identity. You can also rely on this token to travel to the heavens and the earth." After he finished speaking, this token was thrown at Zhang Wei, The token turned into a clear light and entered Zhang Wei's body, and then turned into a talisman inside the body.

This talisman is the body of the token.It was Tiancao Fulu who was hired by the Nine-Rank Leiguang Academy.

Then, he took out a small satin flag and said, "This is your signaling flag, with which you can drive ten Yin soldiers to become heaven soldiers."

After he finished speaking, the flag fell into Zhang Wei's hands.

After finishing this, the law-holding heavenly official smiled and said, "This junior brother, my name is Min Tiangong. If you need me to help you in the future, you can call me."

As soon as Zhang Wei heard it, he immediately said, "It must be done! As long as the senior brother is not too troublesome."

Min Tiangong said with a smile: "Where would it be troublesome, Heavenly Court is boring, it's good to be able to come down and walk around."

After chatting a lot with Mingxiu today, Zhang Wei realized that Tianguan was summoned by their cultivators, and he also had to be paid.For example, in today's fasting ceremony, the Marshal of the Demon Exorcism Hall appeared to give a large amount of incense money.However, this matter is an official matter, and the money for the incense was paid by the Qingwei faction and the Jinhua government.

If it is a private matter to summon the immortals, the monk must pay the incense money himself.Of course, the gods summoned are different, and the incense money is also different.If the gods like you, they will even come out to help you at their own expense.

So what Min Tiangong said was nice, but in fact, he just wanted to make some incense money.

As the saying goes, money can make ghosts run the mill, and money can make gods stand out!

The two exchanged a few words, and Min Tiangong had to return to Heaven to return to his life, so he left.

Then Zhang Wei woke up.

It was already bright outside the window. Zhang Wei closed his eyes and felt it. In his soul, there was a talisman of Tian Cao floating up and down, and a small flag was also beside him.

As soon as his heart moved, the small flag appeared in his hand.This is the standard magic weapon of the Heavenly Court, and its only use is to convert Yin soldiers into heavenly soldiers.

However, there are still empty places for the flag, and Zhang Wei is asked to find the Yin Soldier by himself.It is worth mentioning that the salaries of the Heavenly Soldiers named on the flag are given by the Heavenly Palace.Otherwise, what is the benefit?

Now that he was awake, Zhang Wei couldn't fall asleep either. He meditated cross-legged until it was completely bright, and then went to find the master.

Tongguang is boxing in the courtyard. This practice cannot be slack. The master must practice every day.When he saw Zhang Wei come in, he smiled and said, "Did you get your own Tiancao Fulu?"

Zhang Wei bowed to the master and said, "Master Mingjian, indeed he got the talisman of Tiancao."

Tongguang nodded and said, "With this talisman, this identity is confirmed. But you have to know that you will not be able to be a Yang official in the future."

Zhang Wei nodded, he already knew about this.Tongguang also told him.Heaven and Yang officials cannot serve concurrently.After Yang Guan dies, he can't be the Heaven Official, but can only be Yin Official.Therefore, if the first-rank and second-rank officials of the imperial court died, they could only go to the positions of Yin gods such as city gods, mountain gods, and water officials.

Although Zhang Wei is now a scholar, a scholar is not an official position, but a scholar. He can continue the imperial examinations, but he can't be an official.However, Zhang Wei wouldn't go to the imperial examination either. He was a Xibei who had crossed over and didn't understand the imperial examination at all.This must be self-aware.

After chatting a few times with the master, Zhang Wei said, "Now I have a quota of ten heavenly soldiers, but how do I get the shadow soldiers?"

Tongguang took a sip of tea and said lightly: "You can go to the city to recruit, many Yin soldiers are willing to turn to heaven soldiers. But I don't recommend you to do this. These ten heaven soldiers can be said to be your confidants, and they can help you in the future. As a housekeeper, you can give these positions to your family members."

Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, is this still possible?He said: "I also ask the master to give pointers."

Tongguang smiled and said: "It's not difficult, you can write a letter to the local city god and ask him to choose for you the ghosts who have not been reincarnated under your family name, and you can choose them as the soldiers of the day."

This actually involves a complex sacrificial system.Why many big families sacrifice ancestors and dead clansmen is for this.In a big family, there will be many opportunities to become a ghost officer or a heaven official. At that time, if you need a ghost soldier with you, you can directly choose from the ghost people in the family.

These ghost people are all from their own family, so they can use it with confidence.

Although the Zhang family is not a big family, but Zhangjia Village also has a lot of sacrifices, and the family is still a little poor.This is planning ahead.

Zhang Wei nodded thoughtfully, everything in this world is very similar to his previous life, but after these similarities, there is a reason.

The sacrifices in the previous life are just thoughts of the ancestors, for the sake of uniting people of the same blood, and for the centripetal force of the family, so that the living people can tide over the difficulties together.

But the sacrifices here are the real family heritage, for the strength and growth of the family.

When the county god brings the Zhang family's list of ghosts, they can discuss with the family who should be their heavenly soldiers.

Although there are many people in the family to worship, the Zhang family has never had Yin Guan, Yang Guan and Tian Guan before, and they have no right to read the book of ghosts.So some ancestors have reincarnated or died, and they don't even know.

Sacrifice is like giving money to the ancestors in the underworld. If the ancestors in the underworld are gone, but the account they received the money from is still there, it’s just that the money is not used, and that money is dead money.

For a family, the annual sacrifice of incense is a certain amount. If it is evenly handed over to the accounts of each ancestor, it is equivalent to some incense money becoming dead money, which is not conducive to the development of the ancestors in the underworld.

But if there is a person who can give some pointers to remove those ancestors who have died and reincarnated, the other ancestors who are still can get more incense money, which is equivalent to using every incense. People are good.

Therefore, sacrifice cannot be blindly sacrificed.The blind sacrifice of the country will make the country perish.The blind sacrifice of the family will make the family perish.

　This piece of sacrifice really can't be sacrificed casually.First of all, if you want to sacrifice, it is best to only sacrifice to your immediate blood relatives, such as parents and grandparents.Because these are the people you know best.You don't have to be afraid to sacrifice anything unclean.

　　Then, you can worship the ancestors of the same clan with people of the same clan. It is best not to worship the ancestors of the same clan in a single household. In this way, the incense will be divided, and the ancestors will be dissatisfied, but they will not be able to get the sacrificed Effect.The best thing is for everyone to come together, there are many sacrifices and incense, and the ancestors have a share.

　　The last is the national festival, which was not there before, but now it is slowly starting to happen.This kind of state sacrifice is to sacrifice to the great gods, it is the main sacrifice.Ordinary people are not qualified to offer sacrifices. Ordinary people pay tribute to worship.

　　The most feared thing in sacrifice is to sacrifice to the evil god.The gods in many temples look serious, but some unclean things may have stolen their positions. You seem to be offering sacrifices to a serious god, but it is very likely that you are offering sacrifices to evil gods.

　　Once it is contaminated with evil spirits or unclean things, it will be very troublesome.

　　Of course, the above are all my family's words, those who don't believe it will just smile.
