Paper Maker: This is the end of the Ming Dynasty in Liaozhai

Chapter 194 The Secret of the Gods!

However, he has no solution to this problem. The army needs strong men, and an army without strong men will be vulnerable. Although he himself is not considered weak, he cannot hold such a large territory, so Tang Xiangjin and the others can only Enter the army first, as for the ghosts and practitioners who make trouble, they are now taken care of by each county.

"Pan Chenghuang, there is nothing I can do about this for the time being. All the masters I have under my command now have duties and cannot leave."

After thinking for a while, Su Hao still shook his head. Now he is still in short supply of masters. It is basically difficult to get any effect by dispatching ordinary soldiers to deal with these troublesome ghosts and practitioners.

"I also hope that His Majesty Qi Huang will take pity on the common people."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Pan Ning cupped his hands again.

"Pan Chenghuang, there haven't been any big monsters in Shandong right now?"

Seeing Pan Ning's attitude, Su Hao couldn't help but frowned. Although there is no Jin Yiwei to suppress, there are still many masters in each county, just like their Su family in Yu County back then. Although all kinds of evil spirits tend to rise up , but it is far from the point where the life is overwhelmed.

At most, there are some evil magicians or monsters running around harming people, but these evil magicians or monsters don't dare to stay in one place for a long time. Killed himself.

In the past two years, he has not received any reports of large-scale deaths or disappearances. After all, the masters under him are just busy, not dead. It can be shot.

"this…"

When asked by Su Hao, Pan Ning was also a little speechless, because what Su Hao said was right, there really wasn't any major incident happening now.

Seeing Pan Ning like this, Su Hao didn't continue to ask, but changed the topic: "Since Pan Chenghuang is here, I also have some puzzles, I hope Pan Chenghuang can explain my doubts for me."

Pan Ning cupped his hands and said, "His Majesty, please speak frankly."

"Why did Ming want to canonize the city god of the world?"

Su Hao narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "What are the taboos of the gods?"

This is something he has never figured out, and he has always been extremely afraid of the strength of these city gods. When he was in Zichuan County, he had personally experienced the coercion of the city god Lu Yi of Zichuan County. Today's strength is far less than that of Eleven. According to his prediction, at least one must be superior in martial arts to compete, and this is only the county town god.

But this is extremely unreasonable. It is not easy for ghosts to practice. Uncle Fu has been enshrined by the Su family for 200 years, and now he is better than second-rate warriors. Most of the city gods were canonized 200 years ago. The strength of the gods has greatly increased, but incense is not the monopoly of the city god. The land or mountain gods and the ancestors of many families will be worshiped by the incense of the descendants, but basically there are no such powerful ones.

What's more, with such powerful strength, these city gods and their accompanying ghosts and gods can really not invade the world. You must know that the foundation of their existence is the belief and incense of the people. If they lose their incense, they will perish. Yangjian represents the control of life and death.

This kind of thing is unacceptable to any strong person. As for the court's legal restrictions, to be honest, he doesn't think the court has such a great authority, otherwise the court only needs to order Pan Ning to take action, so easily To be able to win him, after all, Pan Ning's strength definitely surpassed him by several levels.

So he really wanted to know what the taboo that restricted the gods from contacting the yang world was, and why these powerful gods were so obedient.

"Returning to His Majesty Emperor Qi, when Meng Yuan went south, the universe was reversed, and Yin and Yang were in chaos. In addition to the war at the end of Yuan Dynasty, countless demons and ghosts ran rampant in the world. After the founding of the country, Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty deliberately canonized the city god of the world to suppress the underworld."

Hearing this, Pan Ning clasped his hands and said: "The taboo of the gods is the rule of heaven. Once you are contaminated with too much karma, you will be punished by heaven."

"Heaven?"

Hearing Pan Ning's words, Su Hao's pupils shrank instantly, and he was a little surprised: "So, Mantian gods and Buddhas really exist?"

He has served as the guard of Jin Yiwei for several years, and has seen many gods, such as mountain gods, land gods, river gods, etc., but these gods were all canonized by the sages of the past dynasties in the past 200 years. Live the real gods and Buddhas in the sky.

Even the disciples of the two religions have invited the divine power of the gods, but in Jin Yiwei's records, no one has ever actually seen the gods and Buddhas, or someone has seen them, but his status is not enough to get access to this level of secrets , I didn't expect to know from Pan Ning's mouth today that the gods and Buddhas in the sky really exist.

"The gods and Buddhas in the sky naturally exist."

Pan Ning nodded, but then said: "However, Mantian Gods and Buddhas are not on our side."

Our side of the world?

Su Hao's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately thought of the Three Thousand Worlds. This is not a fun thing. The most important thing in this kind of world is God's will. If there is really God's will, then Jurchen's entry is the destiny of God. , then he is still playing a fart!

"I don't know what Pan Chenghuang meant by this world?"

After taking a deep breath and trying to calm himself down, Su Hao asked.

Pan Ning shook his head and said, "Returning to His Majesty, the little god doesn't know the specific situation, but there is a legend in the underworld that there is an endless world outside our world, and the gods and Buddhas in the sky exist in the legend. There are 33 heavy days in it."

"So, is it true that Taoists say that they can ascend to the Immortal Realm and live forever?"

After being horrified for a moment, Su Hao also calmed down. He still has a system in his body. Even if Mantian God Buddha really exists, as long as he is given time, he may not be stronger than Mantian God.

Of course, the most important thing for him now is to overthrow Daming first, so that he can get more enlightenment points. As long as there are enlightenment points, everything is not a problem. If there are endless enlightenment points, it is also possible to deduce the secret art of paper control to the realm of a saint. Not impossible.

"This little god doesn't know."

Hearing Su Hao's question, Pan Ning shook his head: "As far as I know, for hundreds of years, many sages of Taoism either served in the underworld or were reincarnated. The little god has never really ascended to the fairy world. heard about it."

"As for the theory of immortality, it is mostly a folk rumor. The human race was born out of nature, and as long as it is alive, it has a life limit. Even the masters of Taoism can live a few more years. For hundreds of years, they can live beyond 150 years. There are only a handful of them, even if they become ghosts after death, they have to go through the calamity, if they can't get over it, they will end up scattered."

"There are ten halls of hell in that prefecture? Naihe Bridge?"

Hearing about the underworld, Su Hao also became interested. Although there are records about the underworld in the travel notes left by the ancestors of the Su family, there is no specific description, and neither is there in Jinyiwei. He only knows that Yin and Yang are different, and that Yang and Yin are similar to each other. The front and back of a sheet of paper.

Except for some special methods, under normal circumstances, living people cannot enter the underworld, and ghosts in the underworld cannot easily enter the underworld.

"Of course there is."

Pan Ning nodded and said: "The last Tenth Hall of Yama just resigned 30 years ago and went to reincarnation. The current Tenth Hall of Yama has just succeeded, and I heard that they are all good ministers of Ming Dynasty."

"Is that so?"

Su Hao fell into deep thought.

...

It wasn't until the sky was getting dark that Pan Ning left Zichen Hall and returned to his own temple.

In the Zichen Palace, Su Hao looked at the distant sky. The conversation with Pan Ning was a great shock to him, and made him have a deeper understanding of this world.

Although Pan Ning didn't speak clearly, but combined with the settings in the various immortal novels in his previous life, he also had some guesses. The world he is in now may be a small world with low aura, and those great gods look down on this Such a small world, only passed down the honorary title and Taoism to collect incense.

The reason why gods like Pan Ning and the others are so strong is because they have ascended to the god position, using the power of the god position instead of their own power. The god position in this world is more similar to the laborers appointed by heaven. Behavior must conform to the rules set by the Dao of Heaven, and once it is violated, it will be sent down by God.

If you want to ascend to the throne, you mainly need incense. The city god is the patron saint of the city. With the canonization of the imperial court, one can justifiably build temples and gather incense. It does not mean that the imperial court really has the ability to canonize gods.

However, he can't be sure whether it is really as he guessed, because he hasn't reached that level yet, so everything can only be guessed.

And the main reason why Pan Ning came to him was because now that he disbanded Jinyiwei, many evil spirits from all over the world came here, and there were also many powerful ghosts gathered here from the underworld, trying to take advantage of the chaos. , to plan the positions of some gods.

After all, Pan Ning and the others are the city gods conferred by the Ming Dynasty. Now that Shandong is occupied by him, Pan Ning and the others are no longer justifiable. If those powerful ghosts in the underworld collude with those evil spirits in the underworld to gather incense in one place, they can successfully seize it. Their gods are gone.

That's why Pan Ning wanted to ask him to re-organize Jinyiwei to eliminate or expel these evil spirits and crooked ways, so as to prevent those powerful ghosts from the underworld from taking advantage of them.

.........

Not to mention the shock on Su Hao's side, at this time outside the Daming capital, the breath of killing once again permeated the battlefield outside the city.

The billowing dust was like an earth dragon passing in front of the camp of the Ming army. Accompanied by a rain of arrows, the earth dragon swept away, leaving only a dozen sparse corpses and dozens of howling horses.

In the camp of the Ming army, Man Gui, Hou Shilu, and Deng Kui watched the Jurchen cavalry go away with gloomy expressions.

"General Deng, this Jurchen is planning to kill us."

Man Gui looked dignified. Since the last time he suffered a big loss, the Jurchen stopped attacking by force, but changed his strategy. Taking advantage of the cavalry's riding and shooting advantages, he turned in front of the camp and used the ability of long-distance projectiles to shoot at forty feet outward. At this distance, it is difficult for their counterattack to hurt the cavalry moving at high speed, but they have become living targets.

"Keep holding on."

Hearing this, Deng Kui shook his head: "The chief soldier and the governor should be arriving in the capital soon, and these Jurchens should be the ones who should run away."

As for the tactics of the Jurchens, he has no choice. Although the swarm of rockets is powerful, it is not accurate at all. It can only be guaranteed to shoot in one direction. It relies on intensive firepower to deal with the enemy. The opponent must charge forward, and the swarm of rockets can be used Out of power, like the Jurchens are now only rushing past the camp, a swarm of rockets is useless.

And the firecracker is similar, there is still a head within twenty feet, and it is only a matter of luck if it is beyond twenty feet, and archers, Da Ming's archers are far inferior to the Jurchens, and the power of this distance is hard to guarantee. .

Hearing Deng Kui's words, Man Gui's heart sank. He couldn't deal with these Jurchens. They could only be beaten passively. After a long time, the soldiers might collapse. As for sending out cavalry, those Jurchens wished they could leave the camp.
