Chapter 231: Respectfully Asking Ghosts and Gods and Remembering the Dead (Today's Third Update)

Chu Wujiang ignored Baili Zhi's reaction.

He was not in a hurry to ask the ghosts and gods.

The Demon King taught him a great lesson last time, and he must learn from the experience.

Divination, calculation, and fate.

Most of the holders of these talents did not have a good ending.

Chu Wujiang thought for a while, then took out the hero flag and asked Mr. Qin.

Old Master Qin woke up from his deep sleep. When he heard that Chu Wujiang was going to use divination, he quickly warned him:
"Good boy, those who have accomplished great things in history rarely abuse the method of divination."

"I have traveled extensively with the Marquis, and those who have leaked the secrets have either become blind, disabled, or their entire family has died."

"Before Emperor Hao's decisive battle with Emperor Wu, the leader of the Taoist sect had to divine good or bad luck to prevent any unexpected events."

“Who would have thought that Di Hao smiled and said, my life is in my own hands, there is no need for divination.”

"The Emperor Wu's qi-gazing technique predicted that good times would come after bad times, and the world would be in a state of peace."

"It shows how harmful this thing is."

Old Master Qin still remembers that divination is unreliable.

If you calculate your fortune, it will harm you instead.

Chu Wujiang said quickly:
"Don't worry, old man. I will only use it as a tool to predict good and bad luck and to gather intelligence on the enemy."

Old Master Qin sighed and continued to advise:

"Then you should use it sparingly and with caution."

"If divination is so useful, fortune-telling and other schools of thought would be more popular, but this is not the case."

"It is considered a side path in Taoism and is not considered the right path."

"Only the inheritance in the Sitianjian is relatively good."

"Because divination shortens your life, fortune, and health. In the end, you can only get a glimpse of your fate. The cost is not worth the gain."

"This is how the witches destroy themselves."

"Not to mention the anti-divination methods that each family possesses."

Chu Wujiang now understood why witchcraft would eventually weaken.

Because witchcraft relies too much on divination, they try to ask ghosts and gods for answers, but as a result their luck and longevity are shortened.

But it doesn't seem that serious.

Chu Wujiang thought about it and asked:
"So, old man, what is anti-divination?"

Old Master Qin is indeed the spirit of the Hero Flag. He is well-informed and said in a deep voice:
"The Yuanshen Zhenren have the ability to act on impulse. Once they are spied on, they can launch a counterattack in the dark."

"For some reason, the force of this counterattack will be amplified."

"This is also the reason why Yuanshen Zhenren does not use divination to speculate on the martial arts of other sects."

"If I count with my fingers, I've shortened my lifespan by dozens. Even a Yuanshen Zhenren doesn't have that much lifespan to waste."

Come to think of it.

Chu Wujiang was able to see the mermaids offering sacrifices to the Demon King through [Asking Ghosts and Gods].

From another perspective, Yuanshen Zhenren can completely learn divination and crack the supreme skills of various major sects.

But this is not the case.

But Chu Wujiang needed the information urgently, he couldn't do without it, so he could only ponder:
"Old man, if I want to use the secret art of divination, is there any way to avoid disasters and costs as much as possible?"

Mr. Qin sighed, but did not object:

"My Lord said that if you must use it, you should ask indirectly and not ask too obviously."

"Master Yuanshen, the spiritual perception of the magic weapon is also limited. It is impossible to cover it infinitely."

"It would be better to attach some closely related materials to reduce the backlash."

Sure enough, having an old man in the family is like having a treasure.

With the guidance of Mr. Qin, Chu Wujiang would naturally not be so stupid as to directly ask Shadow's name and which force he belonged to.

Maybe a magical weapon will come from the air and destroy the soul directly.

He decided to save the country in a roundabout way and asked Baili Zhi to write more articles:
"Zhiruo, have you finished writing the article?"

"Maybe you need to write some new ones."

The blush on Bailizhi's face had not yet faded. She nodded quickly like a chick pecking at rice:
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis."

"I have already written some extra, please have a look, my Lord."

Chu Wujiang said "oh" and opened it. He didn't expect that Baili Zhi had dozens more articles than he asked for at the beginning. The content was very detailed and met the requirements, including eating and sleeping.

Baili Zhi took into account the needs of the Marquis' investigation and made adequate preparations.

It is a very comfortable thing to have such subordinates who are good at thinking and know how to use their brains.

For example, when the leader feels that Plan A is unreliable, his subordinates have already made a backup plan, Plan B or even Plan C.

Chu Wujiang nodded and said:

"You did very well."

Baili Zhi blushed slightly and saluted quickly:
"Your Majesty, you have given me the award."

Chu Wujiang held up the soul bead in his hand and said softly:
"You move these articles to the ancestral hall. I will offer sacrifices to my ancestors first."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Chu Family, Ancestral Hall

Chu Wujiang came to the ancestral tablets again. He first bathed and burned incense, then worshipped heaven and earth, performed sacrificial rituals, offered three animals, and then placed the soul bead.

Respectfully ask the ghosts and gods, respectfully ask the heaven and earth.

The core of Confucian etiquette can be summarized in four words: "Respect the dead and remember the ancestors."

Respect the dead and handle funerals in accordance with etiquette. Remember the ancestors and offer sacrifices to them regularly, review their history, and shape common core values.

The Analects of Confucius said: If we respect the dead and honor our ancestors, the people’s morality will become more profound.

In other words, Confucianism originated from rites and laws, rites and laws originated from sacrifices, and sacrifices originated from the value of "respecting the dead and remembering ancestors."

History and ancestors are the carriers of Confucian beliefs.

This is different from Buddhism and Taoism.

Everyone worships their ancestors together, traces back their ancestors' entrepreneurial experiences, and unites closely together.

Therefore, the unit of belief in Confucianism is the family. After leaving the family, everyone’s beliefs are different, which can be understood as the gods they worship are different.

This is unlike Taoism and Buddhism, where believers fight for the Buddha and the Taoist master.

But in the Confucian belief system, people fight for their families.

Chu Wujiang followed the proper etiquette of a marquis and laid out all the tributes, then allowed the old butler to preside over the Chu family's formation.

"Let's get started, Uncle Fu."

"Yes, master."

The old butler advanced to the Yuanling realm, and the power of the Black Turtle Formation continued to rise.

Chu Wujiang felt his mind was clear, as if he had communicated with the ghosts and gods in the world and the ancestors of the Chu family.

He began to pick out the first articles, injecting spirituality, and asking ghosts and gods.

[The sneak attack shadow, who did she have dinner with today? ]

You can't directly ask which force the shadow comes from, otherwise you will attract the attention of divine soldiers and Yuanshen Zhenren. It is the small details that can help people find the answer.

The article burned quickly, and Chu Wujiang's soul power was reduced by nearly one level, and one soul bead was also reduced from the offering.

A girl with a blurry face and blurry clothes appeared in his mind. The two of them were sitting at the dinner table, eating something. The girl asked softly:

"Master, why did you come here without even saying hello?"

"My lady..."

As soon as the girl mentioned the word "Empress", the screen suddenly emitted a strong light.

The bright light flooded the picture.

Just by asking a small question, Chu Wujiang felt a slight pain in his sea of ​​consciousness.

If it weren’t for the blessing of our ancestors, this strong light would have struck and seriously injured people.

[Niangniang, is this the title of an important person in Fengyu Tower? ]

[But the normal address of Fengyu Tower is Layman, Sir, or the owner of the building...]

【Try one more time. 】

Chu Wujiang felt that he could still hold on, so he quickly sent a message to Baili Zhi:

[Change the question and ask the owner of the shadow what clothes she wore and what hair accessories she had when she had lunch with someone today.]

If you want to divine what this person's name is, the divine soldier will immediately notice it.

But if you change one issue, such as the style of the person eating, the possibility of being detected by the magic weapon is greatly reduced.

Baili Zhi quickly replied:
"My Lord, it's at the bottom."

[Have you considered all this? ]

Chu Wujiang turned to the last page in amazement, and became even more satisfied with Baili Zhi, and at the same time directly lit the article.

The girl's appearance was still blurry, but she was wearing a nightgown and had a ponytail.

yah~
Another strong light appeared, and the black tortoise's body protection was broken. Chu Wujiang quickly interrupted the picture and did not dare to continue spying.

Chu Wujiang's soul power was reduced by more than half again.

Without the characteristic of [Soul and Mind as One], even if you attack indirectly, several lives will not be enough.

But enough.

[Mrs., ponytail, nightgown, girl.]

【All of these combined point to one result. 】

[Donghai Palace, Emperor Guangzhu's maid Yunshang.]

Chu Wujiang sneered. This time, Di Guangzhu was very cooperative. They worked together to attack Fengyu Tower. He did not expect that the royal palace had such sophisticated means.

In the morning, they worked together to attack Fengyu Tower, and in the evening, they came to frame me.

Seeing this, the old butler hurriedly asked:

"Master, are you okay?"

"Don't worry, Uncle Fu, I'm fine."

"The murderer who sneaked into the Chu Mansion at night this time has been found. He is from the Donghai Palace."

The old butler was shocked:
"what?"

"Then should we break off relations with the East Sea Palace?"

Chu Wujiang shook his head and said:

"Of course not, they won't admit it."

"We can't break with the East Sea Palace now because of this. The war is imminent."

"But it doesn't matter. We announced to the public that the attacker was Feng Yulou."

"Let Fengyulou explain it to us."

"The enemies must be dealt with one by one."

As for that shadow, maybe we can use the demon to turn it into one of our own.

After several rounds of interrogation, Chu Wujiang had some new ideas about the shadow.
