Cultivation: Start with Inviting Gods

The young man in armor entered the tent in the area where the army was stationed outside the county. He took off his helmet, revealing a very young face. He was a descendant of a famous family. His family had followed the current emperor in a rebellion, and he had the merit of following the emperor. He took over the cavalry team under the emperor at a young age. Sitting on the seat in the tent, he looked at the six boxes carried by the soldiers. He sighed in his heart. In this poor and remote place, the county magistrate actually offered so many things. It can be imagined that this place is still quite rich, or the county magistrate is still very greedy. But this was not a big problem for him. He was not here to investigate whether the county magistrate was greedy or not. He was here to cut down mountains and destroy temples.

Recently, the emperor had been in a trance for some reason and wanted to destroy all the temples, Taoist temples, and shrines in the country.

Some ministers tried to persuade him, and even two of them died by hitting their heads against pillars, but it was useless.

This time, the emperor's will was particularly firm. Since he could not persuade him, he had to do it.

Their army was one of the small teams. Along the way, they had destroyed at least 300 temples, Taoist temples, and so on.

The good things looted from them were simply countless.

Originally, he thought that he could not find any good things in this small place, but who knew that the county magistrate gave him a surprise as soon as he arrived.

The sound of soldiers walking outside the window came, and the two soldiers who had been guarding the county town before walked in.

They saluted as they walked, and then reported the situation to the general before the New Year.

"Report to the general, we have brought the county annals here, please take a look."

After one person finished speaking, he stepped forward and placed a heavy book on the table.

The young man who was sitting opened the book, looked at the contents recorded on it, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad, you two are quite reliable.

I looked around and found that there are six temples, two Taoist temples, and seven temples within a hundred miles of the county.

There are thirteen other wild temples of various sizes. Notify them that we will start the action tomorrow. We will take a day off today and try to destroy all these temples in one day."

After listening to the general's order, the two people in the tent bowed their heads and said yes, and then went out.

And the general flipped through the county annals to see if there was anything he was interested in.

He flipped through a few pages, then his eyes fixed, looking at the records above, his brows slightly frowned.

I saw the writing on the county annals.

"In the 56th year of the Yamato era, Marquis Weiwu died, and his tomb was buried on the top of Qinshan Mountain. One year after Marquis Wu died, the world was in chaos.

To reassure the people, the king said: "Marquis Weiwu is a son of heaven, his merits are complete, he has ascended to heaven, and he is specially named the god of the country, enjoying the incense of heaven and earth!"

The people sang praises to his merits and prayed for him voluntarily for three years.

Two days after the edict was issued, the world was peaceful. In the 59th year of the Yamato era, the king died, and his son became king. The world was in chaos, and the people were living in misery. In the 60th year of the Yamato era, the country was destroyed."

The young general looked at the contents recorded in the county annals, and his breathing suddenly became rapid. He stretched out his hand in disbelief and stroked the description in the book again and again, and his mood suddenly became particularly excited.

What did he see? He saw the record of Marquis Weiwu's burial place!

Who is Marquis Weiwu? He is a pioneer of an era. His existence stabilized the destroyed kingdom for twenty years!

After his death, people in later generations worshiped him and regarded him as the god of the army. Who doesn't know his name as long as they have read a few books on military strategy? The books he wrote had a wide influence, even to the point where there was no one before and no one after! Even now, the contents of some of his books are still in use.

This general naturally learned the famous book written by Weiwu Hou. He didn't expect that he would have unexpected gains when he came to this remote place.

In ancient times, the existence of county annals was very special. It recorded the development and history of a county.

As long as there is a county annals, everything in the county can be found in it, which means that the tomb of Weiwu Hou is within the coverage of this county with a radius of 100 miles.

The young general was moved. He had to be moved. That was Weiwu Hou!

Weiwu Hou, who enjoyed the worship of countless people, still makes countless people yearn for it in some books.

After his death, he was given countless titles, and no one could stop his glory.

When he was alive, he was respected and loved, and countless people were impressed by him, but even so, he did not establish another king and continued to assisted the king of the time.

But unfortunately, the country was doomed, and Marquis Weiwu died too early. However, even so, the emperor of that country issued an edict, honoring him as the guardian god of the country, and the whole country worshipped him together, which also ensured three years of stability. It was not until his death that the country was completely destroyed.

If he died later, this situation would not have happened. From this point, we can see how great the influence of Marquis Weiwu was.

The young general was panting, and the excitement in his eyes was not concealed. He asked the soldiers waiting outside the door to come in, and hurriedly ordered him to find the county magistrate and ask the county magistrate to call him.

Listening to his arrangements, the guards were confused, but they still did it.

The county magistrate was brought from home by the guard, and he knelt down to the general as soon as he came in anxiously.

"I wonder if General Zhang has summoned me here suddenly. Is there anything important that he needs to tell me?"

The county magistrate's voice was trembling, and he sounded frightened. He had heard some rumors that the general in front of him was not very easy to deal with.

The young general in front of him was named Zhang. He stood up, took the county annals and turned to the page he had read before, pointing at it with a calm expression.

"I wonder if County Magistrate Li knows where Qinshan is recorded in the county annals?"

Listening to General Zhang's question, County Magistrate Li looked up at the contents recorded in the opened county annals, and then he was a little confused.

He was a little puzzled that General Zhang would ask this question, but he still answered truthfully.

"General, I don't know the exact location, but I can summon our officials immediately and go to various villages and towns to inquire.

Because of the poor harvests in recent years, coupled with natural disasters and man-made disasters, many villages in our county have been relocated, and there is a large flow of people, so the exact location may not be so easy to find."

Regional Magistrate Li didn't care about what General Zhang wanted to do, and he didn't want to know. Sometimes it's not good to know too much.

In his opinion, the passage recorded in the county annals can basically be regarded as a story.

He has never heard of the story of the Marquis of Weiwu. If the Marquis of Weiwu is really from their side, or buried here, the old people nearby should pass it on by word of mouth, but now no one is talking about it, so it is naturally false.

These officials under this dynasty are occasionally inherited from their families, so their knowledge is not that great, and some can only barely recognize words. Let alone history, even the laws of this dynasty are not very clear, especially in a border area like their county.

General Zhang was very dissatisfied with the county magistrate's answer, but he also knew that the county magistrate probably didn't know the truth. After all, he had never heard of the title of Marquis Weiwu, so he was probably a fool.

He snorted coldly and ordered him to get the exact location of Qinshan within one day. After receiving the order, County Magistrate Li hurried back to gather people and go to each village and town to ask every household.
