The world of Taoism

Chapter 264 Chi Yang Chi Yin (seeking a monthly ticket)

The group returned to the Tianzun Temple in the south of the city.

During this period, it expanded to ten Town God's Temples, with as many as 2 believers.

The largest is this temple, which can also be said to be the headquarters of Shenxiao Tianzun Temple.

After all, this is where Goddess Zhou Ya is.

The Goddess has the ability to predict the future, pointing countless people to avoid disasters, and is deeply loved by believers.

Many dignitaries came to seek solutions and donated a lot of incense money.

The incense money collected by Chengnan Temple is more than that of other Chenghuang Temples combined.

After all, ordinary people don't have much incense money.

Moreover, Miao Zhu does not recommend poor people to give up all their belongings to support the gods. After all, some of them are not in line with the purpose of Tianzun Temple.

The purpose of Tianzun Temple is to bring happiness and well-being to the people, not to burden them.

Moreover, the main source of money does not actually depend on Tianzun Temple.

The real big head is at the wharf of the Dragon Club.

The protection fee and coolie wages drawn on each ship are a big sum.

Yangzhou is the most developed place for water transportation, and almost all merchant ships are sent to the north from here.

Money and food are rolling in, radiating the world.

Even if Zhou Xuan reduced the rake rate for ships and coolies from the original five rakes to twenty rakes, it would still be a huge amount.

Of course, Zhou Xuan didn't just collect the money and did nothing, at least the work he did was worthy of the prices they charged.

It doesn't count as squeezing the common people. If there is no coordination between the Qinglong Association, I am afraid that the merchants will be even more ruthless in suppressing prices.

The Qinglong Association is equivalent to the Chamber of Commerce jointly recommended by these coolies on the docks.

People from the Azure Dragon Club are also willing to fight for their interests. After all, the more money the merchants give, the more money they will receive.

However, the policy also started after Zhou Xuan took charge of the Azure Dragon Society. Before that, it was just a joint squeeze by the merchants and the Azure Dragon Society.

It's just that Zhou Xuan changed everything and used modern thinking to manage the pier.

When Zhou Xuan came to the back hall, a woman and a weasel were sitting in the hall, and the screen blocked the scene inside the room.

"Meet Master Tianshi." The two stood up and saluted.

The weasel's eyes are becoming more and more agile, giving people the feeling of being human.

Huang Sanniang saluted respectfully, feeling awe of Zhou Xuan in her heart.

If it wasn't for Zhou Xuan, I'm afraid he is still cultivating deep in the mountains, ignorant.

In the end, it may turn into a monster, so there is no chance today.

All of this was bestowed by Zhou Xuan and Tianzun Shenxiao.

Practicing in Tianzun Temple for one year is far more than the previous decades of hard training.

Zhou Xuan clapped his hands, and in the void condensed a woman wearing a white jade bead dress and holding a white jade bottle of suet, with a holy temperament.

"Who is this sister?" Zhou Xiaoya asked.

Her eyes could see through ghosts and gods, and in fact, she had known that Huanpei Tiannv was hiding in the air just now, because Zhou Xuan didn't speak, so it was hard to find out.

"This is Huanpei Tiannv, she will sit here in the future." Zhou Xuan said.

Zhou Xiaoya heard the voice-over, and hurriedly asked, "What about me?"

"Go to Jiangnan County to open up your faith." Zhou Xuan said.

Jiangnan County is still the base camp of the Zhou family, and Yuchan Mountain is closer to Jiangnan County than Yangzhou City, and it is also where Zhouxuan County is located.

Yangzhou is the largest city in the entire south of the Yangtze River, and it is a battleground for military strategists.

If something goes wrong in the future, this must be the place with the most influence, so plan for the future.

Zhou Xuan has subdued the Fan family now, and the second child of the Fan family is the sheriff of Jiangnan County. From a certain point of view, Zhou Xuan is the one and only one in Jiangnan County.

It is also necessary to turn Jiangnan County into an iron barrel, so that no force can penetrate it.

In the future, use this as the basic plan to plan a big event.

Moreover, Zhou Xuan's actions seemed to mean retreating in the eyes of everyone.

After all, if you don't stay in a good Yangzhou, you are obviously afraid of being a local bully in the countryside.

Of course, after returning, the forces in Yangzhou City still would not give up, but stopped expanding and set their sights on Jiangnan County.

Jiangnan County is a large county in Yangzhou, with nearly 300 million people.

There are many mountains and complex terrain. Two-thirds of the population is mainly concentrated in the first four counties.

As long as you master these four counties, the next eight counties are nothing to worry about.

Spread the faith here first to form your own basic disk.

Yangzhou is not a place to live for a long time.

Outside Yangzhou City, a tall altar was erected at this time.

The altar is nine feet wide and three feet high, with five steps in total, cast from red clay.

There are incense tables and various fruits and drinks on it.

Three cows, three sheep, and three pigs, a total of nine heads were placed next to the incense table, and the ceremony was extremely grand.

A man in a scarlet python suit and a crown stood on the altar.

This is Yangzhou Mu Liu Jing.

He was wearing the most formal official uniform, not ordinary casual official uniform.

This kind of costume will only be worn when holding various ceremonies or receiving imperial edicts.

I usually don't wear this kind of clothes, after all, it's too heavy, and I always wear that kind of portable official clothes when I handle official business.

When Liu Jing put on this suit, he attached great importance to this matter.

A large group of people surrounded the edge of the altar. Soldiers kept order on the edge and kept people from approaching.

Mr. Xuan Jing was also dressed in fine clothes, with a solemn expression.

"Can we start?" Liu Jing asked.

"Okay." Mr. Xuan Jing said.

Behind him, more than a dozen assistants began to brag and beat the Dharma drum.The sound spread all around.

The noisy crowd suddenly became quiet, as if infected by an invisible force.

Mr. Xuan Jing sang the sacrificial oration, the tone and language were weird, but very melodious, the voice was not loud, and it spread for several miles around.

These are actually languages ​​spoken by people in ancient times.

Unlike the recent gods, sacrificial rites are generally created when the gods are born, and the language used is also the language of that time.

Emperor Ford was born more than 2000 years ago, so he also used the language of the people at that time.

The language has long been lost, and only people like Mr. Xuan Jing can master it.

In every paragraph, Mr. Xuan Jing would stop for a while and motion for Liu Jing to toast.

After three rounds.

Mr. Xuan Jing burned the prayer in the fire, and it was covered with the Yangzhou pastoral seal, which represented the power of the imperial power.

Whoa!

The sky changes suddenly, from a clear sky to a cloudy sky
Thunder flashes, and the wind howls.

It seems that a certain existence is about to recover, and a majestic force descends on the world.

The people around were instantly stunned by the scene in front of them, kneeling down one after another, a miracle of terror.

Among the clouds, stood two figures.

Zhou Xuan was supported by a cloud and stood beside Qiu Hao.

"Is Yangzhou going to change the sky? He actually summoned Emperor Ford."

As a deity more than 2000 years ago, it must be more powerful than an ordinary deity who only lived for a few hundred years.

Zhou Xuan had a faint premonition in his heart that he and others might be the targets.

"Not necessarily, the divine way is extremely dangerous. The longer you live, the higher the probability of death. The best ending may just be a deep sleep." Qiu Hao said.

After living for so many years, I have never seen a god who is more than a thousand years old.

"Let's see, things may turn around." Qiu Hao said confidently.

Seeing this scene, Liu Jing turned pale.

I can't help but have some doubts in my heart. Could it be that I did something wrong?

In fact, I know what I am doing in my heart. This is exchanging imperial power for divine power

At the price of weakening the imperial power, in exchange for the coming of theocracy.

"Forget it, whether it is a merit or a demerit, posterity will judge." Mr. Liu Jing sighed.

The thunder light in the sky faintly formed an old man with white beard and hair and a kind face.

The name of Emperor Ford sounds domineering, but in mythology he is a kind person and a well-known good god.

Often incarnations go down to earth to help poor people.

When encountering monsters, they are mostly overthrown, they are not wiped out, and there is usually a glimmer of life left.

Because of his kindness, he is deeply loved by everyone, and the incense has lasted for thousands of years.

"Come out!" Mr. Xuan Jing's eyes were excited, staring closely at Emperor Ford above.

Then close your eyes and communicate with Emperor Ford.

In a void, there seems to be a line emanating from the top of Mr. Xuan Jing's head, connecting to the depths of the void.

What Mr. Xuan Jing didn't notice was that the moment he closed his eyes, the light and shadow in the sky suddenly flickered.

Emperor Ford's kind face seemed a little hideous at that moment.

The duration is very short, less than one hundredth of a second.

Ordinary people would definitely not be able to see that Mr. Xuan Jing had closed his eyes at that time and missed this scene.

"Something went wrong, things seem to have changed." Qiu Hao looked serious.

There is a kind of cultivator called Qishen, who accomplish certain things by letting the gods get on their bodies and so on.

The fate of these people was almost very miserable, and none of them died well.

You must know that sometimes it is the gods who communicate, and sometimes it is not...

In another void.

A continent is suspended, and above the continent is a sky full of stars.

Hundreds of beautiful goddesses dance in the sky, and the golden armored god will guard a handsome god.

The deity is dressed in golden clothes with a circle embroidered with gold thread.

The circle radiates purple light, and the light falters, as if it is alive.

"Interesting." The god suddenly raised his head, looking in the direction that Mr. Xuan Jing sensed.

"What a powerful power of imperial power, did I, Chi Yang, get out of trouble?"

This is the power of official sacrifices, which usually represent imperial power
The power of imperial power is hundreds or thousands of times stronger than that of ordinary people.

This man named Chi Yang obviously coveted these powers.

Although he knew that the gods worshiped by the officials were very powerful, he had to give it a try.

There is no concept of time here, and Chi Yang can no longer bear the loneliness here, feeling as if he has stayed there for millions of years.

It would be crazy to go on like this. Even if the risk is great, try it. This may be the only chance.

Ordinary beliefs are not enough to attract them, only this kind of official power can bring them back to the world.

Whoa!
The river of stars turns and the fairies disappear.

This continent was instantly contained within Chi Yang's body.

Chiyang's body surface emitted a burst of purple light, and the purple light spread towards the void.

"Chi Yin, give me a helping hand." Chi Yang shouted softly, the purple light from his body came out through his body, forming a light path.

Instantly attached to the thoughts emanating from Mr. Xuan Jing.

Mr. Xuan Jing's mind was intercepted by Chi Yang and connected to him.

"Okay!" Chi Yang's eyes lit up, and the purple light retracted into his body.

He could clearly feel a majestic force connecting to his body.

It is as if the long-thirsty ground has met rainwater, constantly absorbing these long-lost powers.

Mr. Xuan Jing's thoughts are like an anchor point, along which he can return to the real world.

"I'm here, Mao Jiu! I'm going to tear you to pieces." Speaking of this person, Chi Yang's eyes flashed a trace of deep-seated hatred.

Then the figure disappeared suddenly, and entered the real world following Mr. Xuan Jing's thoughts.

on the verge of success.

"Bold!" A majestic shout came from the depths of the void.

A white belly appeared in the sky, and then quickly grew in size.

The pitch-black sky was dyed white.

"Where is the sacred? What a powerful force!" Chi Yang was a little terrified, and then speeded up, but it was too late.

Boom!

A majestic force hit Chi Yang directly, and Chi Yang's soul immediately disintegrated and turned into purple light all over the sky.

At the same time, Mr. Xuan Jing's thoughts returned.

real world.

Mr. Xuan Jing's body shook, and then he opened his eyes.

"How?" Liu Jing was a little nervous.

"I have communicated with Emperor Fude, but I need to recuperate for a while, and I will start after recuperating." Mr. Xuan Jing laughed.

"Okay, after you reply, let's get rid of the two malignant tumors, Tianzun Shenxiao and Wuxiadao." A trace of hatred flashed in Liu Jing's eyes.

Liu Jing said he was the state shepherd, but in fact he didn't have much power.

When you are young, you are indeed very powerful, but when you get old, you gradually delegate power to the subordinates.

Now most of the power is evaded by the people under him, and controlled by various cultivation forces and families.

This is what Liu Jing hates the most.

If it was another state shepherd, he might turn a blind eye.

But Liu Jing was different. He was a child of the Liu family, a member of the royal family, so how could he want to see such a situation where the power fell to the sidelines, so he took action to turn the tide.

After hearing this, Mr. Xuan Jing looked serious and said:
"Whether it's Wuxia Dao or Shenxiao Tianzun, the entanglement between these people and the officialdom is a bit deep, and I'm afraid it will turn them upside down."

"Otherwise, let's take the small ones first, and then turn the target to them."

Liu Jing thought for a while, and thought there was some truth in his mind.

Wuxia Dao has a wide range of believers, and the followers of Shenxiao Tianzun have a strong cohesion
If one fails, it is likely to be a major rebellion, which must be treated with caution.

Start with the small ones first, and then find a random reason to let these big forces relax their vigilance.

"However, let's hit them first, lest they think I, Liu Jing, am old." Liu Jing laughed.

"Okay, I'll meet with the Heavenly God for a while." Mr. Xuan Jing's eyes flashed an imperceptible purple light.

That's right, this person has been controlled by Chi Yang.

Chi Yang successfully returned to reality, but he was also severely injured by the force just now, and his strength was different from before.

For him, the most important thing is to recover his strength first, and then make plans.

However, it is still possible to frighten this yin god called Shenxiao Tianzun.

Unexpectedly, the conversation between the two people was heard by the two people in the sky.

Chi Yang hadn't fully adapted to the real world yet, so he didn't notice the two of them for a while.

Qiu Hao grabbed Zhou Xuan's shoulder, and the two disappeared in place.

"What are you going to do?" Qiuhao asked.

"What should we do? Just use the plan, just let us cultivate for a while, don't stare at us all day."
