Chapter 349 Belief is Strength

In the 32nd year of Emperor Wen'an, Emperor Xiguo died of illness.The death of the old emperor suddenly aroused the contradictions in Xiguo, and the palace split into several factions, and began to seize power with real swords and guns.The general led troops into Beijing, bloodbathed other factions, abolished the crown prince, made his own nephew the new emperor, assumed the position of prime minister, and took charge of the government.

This brutal method of struggle immediately enraged the other parties.

On the same day that the new emperor ascended the throne, rebellions broke out in many places in Xiguo, and even the vassals directly denied the new emperor's status, calling him a usurper and demanding the Qing emperor's side.

In this environment, natural disasters are even worse.

Xiguo has completely entered the situation of the last years of the dynasty.

In Linjiang City.

Lu Chuan, who was dressed in a black costume, sat in the city lord's mansion, with civil and military personnel on both sides.

Seven years have passed since the incident at Heidang Mountain.For seven years, since the Tuomeng incident, the Heidang Mountain God and the Taoist disappeared, as if they had never appeared before.

In the past few years, Lu Chuan took advantage of knowing that the chaos was going to happen first, and planned to seize the position of the county guard by force in advance, and reported it to the court for approval.During this period, he continued to accumulate personal strength, accumulated food widely, and slowly became king.In the name of suppressing bandits, more than 6 elite soldiers were trained, and they were already considered the largest local forces in the Qingzhou area.

In order to appease him, King Qingzhou also specially sent envoys to ask him for a reward. Not long ago, he was promoted to three ranks.Now Lu Chuan is the prefect of Linjiang.

"My lord, King Ning invited us to attack the capital together to bring order out of chaos, and promised that if we succeed in eradicating the bandits, we will present ourselves to the Son of Heaven and give our lord the honor of the three princes."

A middle-aged scholar presented the document he had just obtained to Lu Chuan.

"Sangong? Our King Ning is very generous."

Lu Chuan laughed out loud, took a look at the call for thieves and threw it aside.

"The twelve princes are all rats!"

He couldn't be more clear about what the so-called "loyal ministers and righteous men" were trying to achieve, after all, he was also one of the "loyal ministers and righteous men".

"Tell King Ning that I, Linhai County, will definitely obey the order to suppress the bandits."

"promise."

The scribes retreated in response, and there was a clerk beside him to respond.

After finishing his daily affairs, Lu Chuan left the main hall and went to the backyard. As soon as he entered, he saw a man surnamed Fang waiting at the door.

"Lord!"

In seven years, many things can be changed. For example, Lu Chuan has grown into a prince, and the man surnamed Fang has also become a general under Lu Chuan's name.With Lu Chuan's status today, there is naturally no shortage of ordinary generals. Now his subordinates are qualified to be generals, and those who can be confidantes are at least heavenly beings.

However, military commanders are available, but loyalty is rare.

The man surnamed Fang is also very clear about this, so in these years, he is mainly responsible for helping Lu Chuan with some dirty work, even if it is only a golden body, he still occupies a position under Lu Chuan today, and no one in Linhai dares to do it. underestimate him.

"The priest has appeared again."

Lu Chuan, who was walking, paused, and then continued to walk forward.

"Where?"

"Heidang Mountain Temple."

Investigating matters related to the Heidang Mountain God is the most important thing in the hands of the man surnamed Fang, and it is also the top priority assigned to him by Lu Chuan.With the growth of Lu Chuan in recent years, there are fewer and fewer old brothers available in the past. He either failed to keep up or died in battle. He is the only one who experienced the adventure of Heidang Mountain together.

"Temple? So his purpose is faith."

Lu Chuan said to himself.

He has been able to be so smooth in the past few years. The "Scattering Beans into Soldiers" dominoes given by the Taoist played a big role. In Linhai County, everyone does not know that their lord is blessed by the gods.

It is precisely because of knowing that I am even more afraid.

These years, Lu Chuan has been thinking of ways to test the purpose of the Heidang Mountain God and the Taoist all the time. The idea of ​​building a temple came to him not long ago.Unexpectedly, not long after the temple was completed, the Taoist who had disappeared for seven years reappeared.

"It's good to ask for something."

Lu Chuan was determined.

Those who have no desires and desires are the most terrifying. Once they have desires, the identities of the two parties will be reversed. At that time, no matter what monsters or ghosts you are, you have to sit down and talk to him.

At that time, everyone's status is equal.

"Continue to follow, no matter what requirements the other party has, they must be met."

After giving the new order, Lu Chuan entered the house.

With the alliance of princes approaching, he also had a lot of things to deal with at hand, and it was impossible for him to focus all his attention on a small matter like before.

Heidang Mountain Temple.

This temple was built by the prefect Lu Chuan using the young and strong in the county, and it took one year to build it. It is really magnificent.

In the temple, a statue that is exactly the same as that of Heidang Mountain was enshrined.

Inside, there are also professional Taoists who are responsible for praying, unwrapping lottery and so on. Everything has been completely integrated with Xiguo's culture.Now this place is already a landmark building in Linhai City, and many dignitaries and dignitaries will come here to pray for safety.

The pilgrims who come and go kowtow under the statue and make a wish.

A graceful and beautiful woman kowtowed below and made a wish with a pious expression on her face.

"Bless me with a son."

After making her wish, the beautiful woman stood up and offered incense.

Turn away.

"I want to make a lot of money, so much money that I can't spend it all in my life, Lord Black God bless you."

Chubby Valley made a wish and kowtowed.

One after another.

All living beings.

As the enshrined Heidang Mountain God, Wu Chong could clearly hear everyone's wishes.If he wanted, he could even raise his hand to help these people fulfill their wishes.

But, what's the point?
"The temple is well built, but the offerings are a bit redundant."

Wu Chong stood in the Taoist temple, looking at the pilgrims passing by, with an inexplicable expression in his eyes.

He is not cultivating incense and fire of gods.

The offerings of these mortals are of no use to him at all.

For him, it doesn't matter whether these people believe or not. What he needs is a 'god', a kind of engraving.When countless people feel that his "Heidang Mountain God" is real in their hearts, a corresponding "Heidang Mountain God" will appear in the spirit world. At that time, he is truly a "god".

This kind of belief will not work because of one or two apparitions, it needs time and real power.It's as if someone in the real world told you that a fairy just passed by your house, and you might laugh it off.But if someone told you that someone poured a basin of water in front of your house, you would definitely not doubt it.

Such is the effect of real and unreal.

The spiritual world needs this kind of 'belief'!
In Shimo Great World, everything depends on the spirit world.

What Wu Chong needed was power at the level of the spirit world.Just look at the beliefs that don't matter and the incense that doesn't know the so-called, and it's completely wasteful to care about this thing.

Lu Chuan thought he had found Wu Chong's needs, but in fact, what he 'saw' was what Wu Chong wanted him to see. Only Wu Chong himself knew what he really needed.
