Fengshen: I can inherit the inheritance of my subordinates

Chapter 257 Severe Punishment
After the Empress Nuwa met with the Three Emperors, she raised the question of the war between the two religions.

Fuxi glanced at her and said: "This is a matter of the Taoist sect, why is the empress so concerned?"

Shennong and Xuanyuan also looked at Empress Nuwa curiously, wondering if she didn't listen to the emperor's elder brother's persuasion last time, and planned to help explain Miejie.

Empress Nuwa sighed: "It's not good if you don't pay attention, brother, I'll tell you the truth, the situation in my palace is not as good as before, and the incense has dropped sharply. If it continues like this, I'm afraid I will be forgotten sooner or later."

I am no better than the Three Emperors, there are countless temples in the world, and there is a fairyland like Huoyun Cave, but I only have one main palace, and I usually stay in the palace when I have nothing to do.Once the incense in the palace decreases, it means less merit and virtue, and it will also affect the luck of the palace.

Empress Nuwa felt a little regretful in her heart, she should have learned from the Three Emperors and occupied a fairy mountain as a dojo, so that even if the palace fell, there would be other places to go.

Xuanyuan's face twitched a few times. He didn't know how many temples he had in the world, and he didn't know how many temples he had been abandoned. However, for him, the impact was not great. When he reached his level, the merits produced by incense burnt for him. dispensable.

But Fuxi said: "My lady, if there is a cause, there must be an effect. This is the cycle of heaven."

Nuwa empress is silent, and the palace is full of incense. In addition to her fame, a large part of the reason is that the Shang kings of the past dynasties respected herself, an ancient goddess, and went to Nuwa Palace every March [-]th to drop incense.If the top does something, the bottom must follow suit, and the common people will naturally crave for it.

But Yin Hong didn't go to drop incense, the result of this was that the number of pilgrims decreased greatly, which affected the number of merits.

"Brother Emperor, when I first learned that the three religions participated in the business, they jointly set up a list of gods, and wanted to select 360 five righteous gods for the heaven. It happened that Xiqi had a holy master, and King Zhou humiliated me by inscribing poems in the palace. The business energy is almost exhausted, so the three demons of the Xuanyuan Tomb were sent to entrust the back palace and destroy it into Tangjiang Mountain."

About the Three Demons, Empress Nuwa only told the Three Emperors.

Fuxi said: "It's just that my mother didn't expect that the great business energy is not exhausted, but it seems to be strong."

Although he lives in Huoyun Cave, Fuxi knows everything about the outside world like the palm of his hand. After all, he has a high status and has many believers in the world. From the mouth of these believers, it's hard to understand.

Empress Nuwa said: "Brother Huang hits the nail on the head."

Now that Shang is strong and Zhou is weak, with the banner of the leader of Tongtian, it is impossible for Jiang Ziya to enter the five passes eastward.

Fuxi said: "Your Majesty, I came here to analyze the poor Taoism. Is it Ji Zhou or Yin Shang who will rule the world in the end?"

Empress Nuwa nodded. To restore the palace to its former prosperity, it must rely on imperial power. If Ji Zhou wins the world, it would not be difficult to ask Jiang Ziya to ask Ji Fa to go to the palace for incense if Ji Zhou wins the world.

Fuxi said: "If the empress had asked the poor Taoist this question a year ago, the poor Taoist would have answered you with certainty. The one who won the world would be none other than Ji Fa. But now, the situation is getting weirder, and the poor Taoist is not sure. It still depends on the outcome of the war between the two religions."

Empress Nuwa said: "It seems that I can only wait for the two religions to decide the winner, and then I will make a decision."

Fuxi smiled, Nuwa has many disciples and has a greater need for merit, so she cares more.

……

Some people set fire to themselves in Nuwa Palace, and when the news spread, the people who came to offer incense were shocked and fled from Nuwa Palace.

When Empress Nuwa came back from Huoyun Cave, she found that there was not even a single person offering incense in the huge palace, and there was no sound. Doubt flashed across her face, and she asked what happened to the golden boy and jade girl.

Jin Tong said: "My Lady, after you left, some people came to make trouble and set fire to themselves in the palace, which shocked the people and they all left."

Empress Nuwa's face darkened, and she said: "It's unreasonable. This palace has been built, and this kind of thing has never happened. Why did that person set himself on fire in the palace? We can find out the reason."

As soon as the words came out, the jade girl was a little worried, but the golden boy didn't realize that he was wrong at all, so he said: "Mother, that man's wife was seriously ill, so he came to the palace to pray for her blessing and save his wife's life, but he was not sincere. First of all, if you don’t offer incense, then you must bring offerings. The disciple wanted to ignore it, but the man spoke rudely, and the disciple was overwhelmed for a while, so he cast a spell and said a few words to him, but he couldn’t think about it and set himself on fire.”

Empress Nuwa said coldly: "Seeing him set himself on fire, why didn't you stop him?"

The jade girl hurriedly said: "Madam, we stopped him, but the fire he used to set himself on fire was more powerful than the real fire of Samadhi, and it was burned to ashes in an instant."

Empress Nuwa sneered in her heart, it seemed that someone deliberately came to the palace to cause trouble, but Jintong's actions were wrong, she said: "Jintong, it seems that this palace has indulged you too much on weekdays, you have no mercy."

Jin Tong was startled, knelt on the ground and said, "Madam, this disciple is just following the rules."

Empress Nuwa said: "Rules, it's nice to say, you don't want to make a move because you think people are poor."

Jin Tong hurriedly confessed: "Your Majesty, this disciple is guilty, please forgive me, and I promise there will be no next time."

But Empress Nuwa said: "Forgive you, the number of pilgrims in this palace has decreased, and this happened again today. How many people do you think will come to offer incense and pray for blessings tomorrow?"

Jin Tong murmured, "It should be less than today."

Empress Nuwa sneered, and with a wave of her jade hand, a golden gourd appeared. She uncovered the golden gourd and said, "Go in by yourself and stay for a month, it is my punishment for you."

The golden boy turned pale with fright, kowtowed and said, "I beg your mother to be merciful."

Although the golden gourd has the function of refining magic weapons, but there are many big monsters inside, all of them are ferocious and easy to kill. If you go in by yourself, you will definitely die.Jin Tong never expected that his always respected empress would punish him in this way.

Yu Nu also begged on his behalf: "Niang Niang, although senior brother was at fault for today's matter, please remember his first offense and deal with it lightly."

Empress Nuwa was unmoved, and said: "I have made up my mind, Jintong, you go in, otherwise don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between master and apprentice."

The incense in the palace decreased, and Empress Nuwa was in a bad mood. Because the golden boy couldn't do things well, some people set themselves on fire in the palace. She was angry and punished the golden boy severely.

"The disciple takes orders."

The golden boy shuddered, bowed to Empress Nuwa, turned into a white light, and got into the gourd.

Empress Nuwa put the lid back on and took away the golden gourd. The jade girl glanced at her and said cautiously: "Empress, senior brother..."

Empress Nuwa knew what Jade Girl was going to ask, so she said: "It's very dangerous inside, I told you before, as for whether he can survive or not, it depends on his good fortune."

When the jade girl heard this, her heart trembled. Seeing that Empress Nuwa's face was not good, she didn't dare to say more.

Empress Nuwa said: "You step back."

"Yes."

The jade girl nodded and exited the hall.

Empress Nuwa frowned slightly, she was thinking, who is instigating that person to come to the palace to make trouble, and to cause the incident of self-immolation, it is conceivable that the incense will be greatly affected.
