Seeing Mo He kneeling on the ground, Daoist Qingmei in the sky showed a gratified smile on his face, and then his body was wrapped in golden light, and he went down the mountain.
In the distance, Mo He heard the noise coming from the foot of the mountain, and then heard the voice of the county magistrate Su Bai, who was reciting the official document of the imperial court aloud.
When his voice fell, a figure surrounded by golden light stood high above the entire Zi'an County, and countless people from Zi'an County bowed down to him, congratulating Taoist Priest Qingmei on his ascension to the divine throne.
At the same time, in other places in Qiongzhou, similar scenes were also staged. Several gods who had made contributions like Qingmei Taoist priests were receiving imperial seals.
The whole ceremony of conferring the gods didn't last long, only more than ten minutes. After more than ten minutes, the figure of Daoist Qingmei disappeared in the sky, and he had already gone to the Netherland.
After the new gods are born, they will all go to the Netherland, and then they will need a period of time to go through an adaptation process of becoming a god. This process does not take long. After that, the gods can enter and leave the Netherland and the human world.
As for how long this time is, it will vary from person to person, and it usually takes a few years.
When the voice from the bottom of the mountain gradually disappeared, Mo He turned his head to look at Daoist Qingmei's room, looked at the body of Daoist Qingmei in the room, and walked in.
Coming to the body of Daoist Qingmei, Mo He slowly stretched out his hand, and touched the body of Daoist Qingmei on the bed. The moment he touched Daoist Qingmei's body, Daoist Qingmei's body suddenly turned into a flying Ashes, leaving only one piece of clothing falling down.
For this scene, Mo He was not surprised at all, this situation had long been expected.
Picking up the clothes left by Daoist Qingmei on the bed, a box appeared in Mo He's hand, and put the clothes of Daoist Qingmei into it. The storage bag in the clothes had already been taken away by Daoist Qingmei before he left. It's too late, and his body has also turned into fly ash, so this clothes can only be used to erect a cloak mound.
When Mo He collected Taoist Priest Qingmei's clothes and was about to be buried on Moon-Watching Mountain, the place of burial had already been chosen, it was at the back of Moon-Watching Mountain, and the relevant things had already been prepared.
Mo He brought the box containing Qingmei Daochang's clothes to the back of Wangyue Mountain, and put Qingmei Daochang's clothes in the place he had already selected.
Because there is only Mo He here now, and Taoist Qingmei is a god, not a real burial, so Mo He keeps everything simple, just builds a clothes tomb, and then burns incense to make an offering, and everything is over.
Sweeping his spiritual thoughts towards the Moon Moon Mountain, he found that the people who were originally at the foot of Moon Moon Mountain had already left and returned to the empty Green Plum Temple. Mo He knew that for a period of time to come, this place would only be for him.
Early the next morning, Mo He didn't have morning class, but went directly to Zi'an County, and went to the county government office.
Today is the first day after Taoist Qingmei became a god. According to the rules, it is time to open the temple built for Taoist Qingmei. As a disciple of Taoist Qingmei, no one is more qualified than him to be the first incense burner .
When Mo He entered the county government office, the county magistrate Su Bai had just woken up. After seeing Mo Da, he immediately smiled and said, "Master Mo He came so early!"
"Master's temple is opened, as a disciple, he should come earlier!" Mo He nodded slightly to Su Bai.
After one night, the sadness in Mo He's heart due to the parting has faded a lot, and Daoist Qingmei left with a god, and he will see him again in the future. In fact, there is really no need for him to be too sad.
"In that case, I will go with the Taoist priest!" Su Bai also smiled when he heard this, and at the same time, he felt a little more fond of the young Mo Hedao in front of him.
According to the etiquette of the imperial dynasty, feuding gods to build temples is the treatment enjoyed by every god, but according to the rank of each god, there is indeed a strict limit on the size of the temples that each god can build, and they can have a maximum of several temples , also has a quantity limit, which also reflects the strict hierarchy of Shinto to a certain extent.
Fortunately, Daoist Qingmei was conferred as a seventh-rank god. Although his temple is not big, it can accommodate two people to worship in it at the same time, unlike those small temples of ninth-rank gods. Well, the size refers to the one in the previous life The earth temple under the tree at the entrance of the village.
After the establishment of the new dynasty in Zi'an County, it was rare for a deity to appear. In addition, Daoist Qingmei also had a great reputation in Zi'an County, so this early in the morning, many people gathered outside the temple, waiting for the temple to open.
When Mo He and Su Bai arrived, the people surrounding the door consciously gave way to them.
"Director Mo He, please!" Su Bai looked around, and then made a gesture of invitation to Mo He, signaling Mo He to go in first.
"Thank you, Lord County Lord!" Mo He nodded to Su Bai, then walked forward, walked around the censer placed at the door, and slowly pushed open the gate of the temple under the eyes of everyone.
The temple is not big, it was built by the county government, so in the specification system, it was built strictly according to the scale it should be.
At the top stands a statue of a god, dressed as a Taoist, holding a staff in one hand, and holding a small seal in the other hand, and the shadow of Daoist Qingmei can be vaguely seen from the outline.
"This is the temple of the master!" Seeing the environment clearly, Mo He reached out and took out three incense sticks from the incense table. With a slight movement of his mind, the three incense sticks in his hand were immediately lit. This simple application of spiritual power , not even a technique.
He bent over to salute the statue, put the incense in his hand into the incense burner, and then looked at the statue of Daoist Qingmei, Mo He showed a smile on his face.
When Mo He walked out of the temple, Su Bai went into the temple to burn a stick of incense. After he came out, the people around rushed towards the temple one after another, but because Mo He and Su Bai both At the scene, everyone also showed restraint and did not make any drastic moves.
"Director Mo He, if you are not in a hurry to go back, why not go to the county government office with me?" Su Bai glanced at the restrained crowd, and invited Mo He beside him.
Not long after he came to Zi'an County, he had heard about the two original Taoist officials in Zi'an County, but Taoist Qingmei had already prepared to confer gods before, and Mo He, who was a disciple of Taoist Qingmei, had always been with him. Daoist Qingmei was by his side, so after he came to Zi'an County, he didn't have time to invite Mo He and Daoist Qingmei.
Now in Zi'an County, after Daoist Qingmei left, there is only Mo He, the Taoist official left. In order to better govern Zi'an County in the future, Su Bai felt that he had to establish a good relationship with Mo He.
Mo He also understands that Su Bai is different from Wen Siming, he will be the real magistrate of Zi'an County in the future, not Wen Siming who will leave soon. As the Taoist official of Zi'an County in the future, he will have to deal with him , you should also be familiar with it.
"Exactly, about building a temple for the master, I still have some questions that I want to ask the county lord, sorry for the trouble!" Mo He nodded, and walked towards the county government together with Su Bai.
When the two came to the county office, Mo He first asked Su Bai about building a temple for Daoist Qingmei. This matter was not an excuse he made because he wanted to get acquainted with Su Bai, but a real one. Ready to do it.
Although there is a limit on the number of temples of the gods, for some gods, the number of their temples has never reached this limit. Except for a temple established by the dynasty, other temples need believers to help the gods to build. If people take care of it, maybe it will really create dissatisfaction.
Just like Zi'an's current Qingxi Water God and An Minbo, these two are the gods of the previous dynasty, and now they have almost no temples.
Su Bai explained the problems in this aspect to Mo He in detail, and at the same time pointed out some precautions. In the end, the two chatted with each other about each other, and the topic opened up immediately, and soon became familiar with each other. , when it was getting late, Su Bai personally sent Mo He out of the county office.
"Master Mo He, I had a very happy conversation with you today. In the future, you and I will work together. I hope the master can help you a lot." Su Bai looked at Mo He and said with a smile. His behavior was still polite, but his enthusiasm for Mo He , but now it's not entirely out of politeness.
After talking with Mo He today, Su Bai discovered that this young Taoist Mo He actually has a good knowledge, especially good at arithmetic, and also has his own unique views on political affairs. Talking with him for a day, unexpectedly Make yourself feel rewarded.
"Your Majesty, you are welcome. I am the Taoist official of Zi'an County, and I am also a local child of Zi'an County. From now on, if it is within the scope of my duties, I will naturally be obliged to do so." Mo He replied with a smile. After this day's conversation, Mo He also had a deeper impression of the new county lord.
With extraordinary background, good knowledge, and great ambitions, the other party may be able to make some achievements in the future and make Zi'an County more prosperous if he is appointed as the county magistrate of Zi'an County.
On the second day after returning from the county office, Mo He began to prepare to build a temple for Daoist Qingmei. As a seventh-rank god, Daoist Qingmei can have up to five temples. Except for one in the county, there are others. four temples,
Mohe built these four temples in four towns in Zi'an County. After choosing the location, he found craftsmen to start building the temples.
As for Mo He himself, at the foot of Wangyue Mountain, he personally built an ancestral hall for Daoist Qingmei. He said it was an ancestral hall, but it was actually similar to a temple, but the name was different.
This is a secret he got after asking Su Bai.
Although there are strict restrictions on the number of temples established by gods, in order to commemorate their ancestors, later generations built an ancestral hall, but it was not counted among them. He opened this ancestral hall to the outside, to a certain extent, it is equivalent to one more Temple, this kind of behavior is a tacit secret. If no one mentions it, Mo He would never have thought that it would be possible.
