Gu Yu thought that there would be many people, but he didn't expect there to be so many.
For thousands of years in Licheng, the culture of belief has been strong. In addition, this is the first widely recognized deity manifested since the revival of spiritual energy. Melon netizens.
King Qingshan, our own god in Licheng!
"Mmm..."
Wen Jing stood on the outer edge, stood on tiptoes and tried to stretch her neck, her eyes were still covered in darkness, the green hills were not visible, the temples were gone, and even the temperature was raised by the breath of the crowd.
She was still tongueless.
At the beginning, Gu Yu gave him two choices, one is to heal his body and continue to live; the other is to lose his tongue and follow him for a year. Wen Jing didn't know what her intention was, so she instinctively chose the second one.
Lao Gu stood next to her, and when she saw this, she stretched out her hand and flicked it, Wen Jing suddenly felt a wide open view, with a panoramic view of the Daqing Mountain inside and outside, and could clearly see the palace in the distance.
A thought came to her mind: "Aren't we going up?"
"No, it's fine here." Gu Yu said.
"oh… "
The girl paused, then thought again, "Is King Qingshan a real god?"
"What do you think?" Old Gu asked back.
"It doesn't feel like it. That evil spirit committed evil and killed people, but it is still under its command."
The girl's brain suddenly opened, thinking, "Is it raising the evil spirits so that it can earn prestige?"
"It's not raised, but it seems to be indulged and used, which can't be washed away. Alright, the grand ceremony is about to begin."
One of them thought, the other said, and the communication was very smooth.
After Wen Jing listened, she obediently stopped thinking, and borrowed the fairy magic to lock directly in front of the main hall. There is a wide square, paved with large blue stones, and the hall has two floors, covering a large area.
In the mythology system of the Xia Kingdom, there is a very famous god called the City God.
City God originated from Confucianism sacrifices, and evolved through Taoism, and was finally finalized as an administrative official in the underworld. Guard the city from evil spirits, manage the living and the dead, reward the good and punish the evil, life and death, misfortunes and so on.
The city gods in various places are served by different people, and even selected by the local people themselves. Most of them died martyrdom, or are loyal people with high moral character. Simply put, they must conform to Confucian standards.
Under the Chenghuang, there are many officials who criticize officials and yin soldiers, as many as three divisions, six divisions, and even thirty-six divisions.
Although Qingshan King is not a city god, he is also a local god who guards a place, and he has been conferred by the emperor, so there are also Yin gods such as judges, various divisions, and General Fan Xie under his command.
These have to be erected like a partial temple, and the area is naturally huge.
Zhou Yang has changed from a black-hearted real estate developer to a devout Zhenxiang believer. At this moment, he led the crowd to stand in front of the hall, and Yuanmiao Temple also sent a few Taoists to observe it.
After finishing the long-winded nonsense, and going through an extremely complicated ceremony, it finally came to an auspicious day and auspicious time.
Several core figures entered the palace, uncovered the golden cloth, and swiped! Everyone's eyes are bright. Compared with the original shabby statue, this new statue is a hundred times superior in terms of material and aesthetics.
The whole body is made of Lingyu and Lingshi. Several natural colors were carefully selected, and then fused together with great ingenuity. The clothes and armor are real, the face is agile, and the momentum is extraordinary. He is indeed a majestic, but not close and refined King of Qingshan.
The pinnacle of ingenuity is nature itself.
After uncovering the image, he would chant scriptures and burn incense to pay tribute. Table after table of meat, melons and fruits, fine nectar and jade liquid were carried into the temple, the Taoists watched coldly, seeing Zhou Yang inserting the three pillars of incense, they knelt down first, followed by one after another.
Looking at the back, he knew that he was going to kowtow and worship God, so he immediately fell to his knees.
The chain reaction spread rapidly, wave after wave like dominoes, and within a short time, hundreds of thousands of people bowed in unison from the main hall all the way to the outside of the village.
"..."
Wen Jing looked at all directions and got shorter, and subconsciously wanted to follow suit, but was held up by the people next to her.
"Don't kneel to ghosts and gods, don't kneel at any time!" Gu Yu looked at her, his tone suddenly severe.
"oh… "
The girl was at a loss, and nodded in a panic.
She didn't dare to look directly at the other person, so she could only pretend to be innocent and watch casually, this look made her heart skip a beat.
The sky is high and the clouds are light, the green mountains and the roads are far away. Believers from all directions kowtow to worship the unknown god. Looking around, there were probably only a few Taoists and the two of us standing.
She is petite, and even when others kneel and kowtow, she can reach her thighs. And it was this higher part that made her suddenly feel like she was standing above the clouds.
Generally speaking, for example, if you go to a temple to play, so many people kneel down, and you are the only one standing, you will definitely feel awkward.
But Wen Jing didn't.
She is not highly educated, has little experience, and cannot describe her own experience. In short, it is very wonderful, my life is up to me, not ghosts and gods.
Besides, over there, hundreds of thousands of people knelt down, knocked their heads three times, and then didn't get up, all waiting to see the gods appear.
Zhou Yang prepared well, memorized something similar to Qing Ci, said it aloud, and then burned it with fire. In the eager anticipation of everyone, they saw the incense in the furnace flickering and flickering, and the smoke was billowing and permeating in large quantities.
Not long after, the top and bottom of Qingshan Mountain were shrouded in a layer of faint smoke.
Immediately afterwards, there was a little gleam in the hall, red with gold, like the first sun pulling out the horizon from the clouds.
"Apparition!"
"The king of Qingshan has appeared!"
Zhou Yang shouted loudly, and the waves of sound spread from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain. As the radiance became more and more intense, people who didn't believe in it at first also added a bit of piety and awe.
Several Taoists looked at each other and exchanged glances.
"Could it be that the gods are really alive?"
"But this Qingshan King has been abandoned for hundreds of years, how could he suddenly appear?"
They received an orthodox education, were born in majors, and had a clear understanding of gods and ghosts, but at the moment they also became suspicious. Just at this moment, as the number of devout prayers increased rapidly, the golden light suddenly burst out, and an invisible coercion covered the hood.
thump! thump!
Several Taoists couldn't hold on, and fell to their knees one after another.
Gu Yu who was far away gently waved his sleeves to hide the figures of the two of them, but they were still standing there, but the god couldn't find it. He watched with great interest as transparent thin threads emerged from everyone's heads and poured into the ceremony. Every time they poured in, the light became stronger.
Finally, after half a stick of incense, a coercive voice sounded in the ear, covering the mountain and the mountain.
"All things have spirits, and all living beings have faith. You are sincere in your thoughts and feel the heavens. This king enjoys the incense of all living beings. You should observe the good and evil of the people and make disasters and fortunes, so that you will not be spared!"
As the words fell, the golden light shone from the top of the hall, and a god in golden armor leaped out of thin air. His facial features were blurred in a ball of golden energy.
"King Qingshan is merciful!"
"The king of Qingshan has a spirit!"
The people kowtowed again, the sound was like a tide, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.
Zhou Yang and the others looked embarrassed, because the voice came to their ears alone, "This matter is done well, and all departments are well prepared, but why doesn't my princess have a golden body incense?"
"ah?"
Confused, Zhou Yang turned his head to look at a patriarch of a wealthy family in Licheng.
The patriarch wiped off his sweat, and said in a low voice: "King Qingshan did have a wife, who was conferred the title of Mrs. Changshun during Song Gaozong's reign, and concubine Zhao'an during Ming Taizu's reign. However, since ancient times, this temple has never been a concubine. The rules for setting up statues of princesses in shrines!"
Hiss!
Zhou Yang's heart was turbulent, but he didn't dare to say it clearly, he just said: "Respect the gods, forgive the sin, it was my negligence, I will order people to cast golden bodies and enjoy incense."
"Well, in addition to incense, you also need to prepare ten fresh spirit beasts to enshrine before the case every day."
"Well… "
Several rich and powerful men paused, although it was a little troublesome, but it was not impossible, and said: "We must do it."
"So good!"
King Qingshan put down four words, turned and left.
The smog outside gradually disappeared and the calmness returned to normal. After a while, everyone came to their senses and got up one after another.
"This is, is it over?"
"It's over, nothing happened."
"Without rain and dew from the sky, will all the diseases disappear? This apparition is a bit sloppy!"
"Hey, since there are gods, don't talk nonsense, the gods have their own intentions."
Gu Yu reappeared, as if watching a farce, shook his head, "Let's go."
"oh!"
Wen Jing obediently followed behind, took a few steps before recovering, and asked, "Are we leaving?"
"No, stay a little longer."
…
Strictly speaking, King Qingshan is the local god of Licheng Sanyi.
Sanyi refers to Jinjiang, starting point, the first club... Ah no, it is Jinjiang, Nan'an and Luocheng. But the common people don't care, King Qingshan is in Licheng, he is the patron saint of Licheng.
What does it feel like to have a real god as your thigh? It's awesome!
In the past six months, the people of Licheng have smoked under their feet even when walking, and they are full of energy. They all hold their heads high and hold their chests up, quite like "except for the capital, they are all local turtles, including the devil city!" "except for the devil capital, they are all rural areas, including the capital!" The ambition range.
Except for Licheng, they are all prostitutes, including Phoenix Mountain!
Not to mention, they are really easy to use. As small as crooked mouth, slanted eyes, infertility, genital stagnation, as big as promotion and fortune, seeking immortality, and safe house, not to mention 100%, there is also a 40% return rate.
When it comes down to God, there is only one word: what a god!
Naturally, King Qingshan's incense became more and more prosperous, and there were more and more believers, and there was an endless stream every day. It belongs to a Taoist temple, and Taoist priests should be stationed there, but this god seems to be very unimpressed, so he asked Zhou Yang to abbot himself.
It's against the rules, the Licheng Taoist Association reported it to the National Taoist Association, and Mo Laodao informed the Taoist Academy. Unexpectedly, Lu Yuanqing didn't say anything, but gave Yuan Miaoguan an order: don't intervene for the time being.
After a long time, Yuan Miao Guan simply ignored him and let him torment.
In the early morning of this day, Zhou Yang still got up early and took a few people to clean up. There are six permanent residents, but the place is too big, so there are devout believers who take the initiative to stay, help with cleaning every day, and just provide food.
Squeak!
As soon as the gate opened, the long line that had been waiting outside all night swarmed in. It was even crazier than grabbing the building number or student number. It is said that today is King Qingshan's birthday, and a series of activities will be held, and it is necessary to grab the first incense.
A group of people Wu Yangyang squeezed in, passing by Zhou Yang, he didn't even lift his eyelids, and mechanically swept the floor with a broom.
He used to be a real estate agent, his family has a big business, and it is well maintained. As a result, in the past six months, I have lost two circles of weight, my eye sockets are sunken, and there is a trace of fear in my fatigue.
"Old Zhou! Old Zhou!"
Zhou Yang raised his head in a daze, and saw several people calling from outside, all of them were the patriarchs of the rich family in Licheng. His face fluctuated a bit, and he walked over slowly, listening to the other party say: "The offerings came today, but I really can't find them. Two are missing. Help me talk about it."
"How can I help? It's not like you don't know the prince's temper. You can't do without a leg, just wait to be punished!"
"Hey, don't!"
Several people were anxious, and even cried, "I don't want to suffer again, if I can't make it through, I'll be useless!"
"We can't help it. In the beginning, there were ten animals a day, then twenty, then thirty, fifty, and now one hundred. They must be fresh spirit beasts! Where can we find them? Zhou, you have pity on us!"
"Hoo..."
Zhou Yang exhaled, dragged several people to the middle of the mountain, and sighed: "It's not that I won't help, look at me like this, I can't help either."
Several people knew about his situation, so they remained silent.
King Qingshan, how majestic and majestic, thousands of people pay homage to him, and the incense burns unknowingly, and he almost responds to every request. But who do ordinary people know how much demand is hidden behind it.
This is also where it is clever, the surface is a god, and the back is a ghost.
After being quiet for a long time, someone suddenly cursed angrily: "Even if this god is a god, it is also an evil god. I shouldn't have boarded this thief ship in the first place!"
Hush!
The few people hurriedly covered it, the prince was so powerful, he might wander off and eavesdrop beside him.
"Zhou Yang, come into the palace!"
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded, and then added, "You guys also come here!"
Hiss!
When they were shocked, they felt creepy, and they had to obey the order and go up the mountain obediently.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
Several people knelt down in front of the statue, not daring to lift their heads, especially the one who spoke indignantly, was sweating profusely. In the past, if you did something wrong, you would usually be punished with a kind of "soul pain like a needle being pricked", but today it is unexpectedly normal.
There was no anger in that voice, but said: "How long have you served this king?"
"Seven months and ten days." Zhou Yang said.
"Oh, it's been so long, it's hard work for you day and night."
The voice seemed to be very emotional, but then the tone changed, and said: "People are not sages, some mistakes are inevitable, I know you are loyal, this time forget it, but there is something I need to trouble you."
"You say."
"This god is the guardian of Sanyi, and also won the throne. It would be disrespectful to have only one concubine. Go and find some side concubines."
"..."
The few people were stunned for a moment, and then they suddenly felt a sudden, and asked tentatively: "I don't know how to choose this side concubine?"
"Naturally, you have to be talented and different from ordinary people. It is best to have a yin meridian. Here is the horoscope of birth, and you have a high probability of looking it up, so you can choose more."
"Well, then what?"
"Then bring it to me."
Some people did not know how to get out of the hall without making a sound.
Before eating spirit beasts, although there were a lot of them, it could be explained by appetite. What's going on this time, is it really a god
On the contrary, it is like a monster in a folk tale who asks people to sacrifice virgins!
…
"well… "
In the hotel in Shanxia Town, Gu Yu sighed, and with a thought, he called Wen Jing next door.
"Prepare yourself and leave in a few days."
"You, are you not staying here anymore?" Wen Jing was puzzled.
"Big disappointment, big disappointment!"
Gu Yu just shook his head, as if very, very sorry, and then said: "How long have you followed me?"
"Seven months and ten days."
Wen Jing gave exactly the same answer as Zhou Yang.
"It's been so long, it's hard for you to stay still. I know you have always wanted to worship me as a teacher, and there is indeed a fate between us..."
The girl was overjoyed, but she heard again, "It's not a master and apprentice, it's just a one-year relationship. You are dull, your understanding is not high, and you have gained very little in half a year, so let me give you another chance. You can get more and less." It depends on your fortune."
