The big carp transformed by the Dragon Girl over there swam desperately towards the Qingjiang River. Along the way, he only asked the water tribe for directions. He never rested for a moment, and did not dare to manipulate the wind and waves or show off his magic. In this way, it was just before dawn the next day. A small boat.

I only heard a fisherman singing "Fishermen's Songs" loudly, and what I heard was: "A small boat with leaves, traveling to and from the lake and sea; holding a paddle stalk, accompanied by gulls and herons, facing east and west at dusk!"

When the dragon girl heard this, she felt a sense of doom and doom in her heart. The fishing net was just ordinary, but it seemed to be a magic weapon specially designed to restrain the aquatic tribe. She felt panicked for no reason.

So he jumped out of the water, and saw the golden scales scattered by the morning glow, and the floating light of the sinking carp, which attracted the attention of the fisherman. He took back the fishing net below and swung it towards that place. But he had no way to hide, and the big carp hit him head on. The fine net was used to strangle the flesh and blood in the scales, and then the fear and weakness of the water surface disappeared.

The fisherman laughed and said: "What a big carp. I'm afraid I can sell it for a better price!"

I untied the fishing net, for fear of damaging the appearance, passed a straw rope through the gill cover, and bent it to the left, but I was rushing to sell fish in the morning market.

Xiong Yu here has been the City God for two or three days, and he doesn't find it difficult to do it. In fact, the system of the 24 City God Divisions is complete enough to handle most problems. If he says he can't handle it, he just doesn't want to handle it and needs some thinking.

Even the dead ghosts were given priority by the rich. The Yangshi burned countless carriages, horses, servants, gold and silver treasures, bought Yin deed land certificates, and got through the ghost officials and underworld officials. Only the poor ghosts had to queue up and go to various places. kind of process.

Xiong Yu simply didn't change it randomly. After all, the role of wealth is still a relatively positive driving force, which can enable people to tool themselves and promote social and economic development. If there is really no distinction, then there is no need for Shinto governance.

After only going through the paperwork and customs, I learned that the seizure of the ship was due to the local city god colluding with the dragon clan and doing smuggling work. After checking the accounts, it was found that those dragons had been exiled to the middle world, and the original city god had not been sent to hell. , was only exiled to the Manhuang Continent to engage in the civilized construction of the Manhuang Continent.

Xiong Yu, who didn't think it was too difficult to be the God of Fucheng, suddenly understood a truth, that is, the problem did not entirely lie in the Shinto system, nor did it entirely lie in the gods, but in the complex relationship between the gods, monks, and the people. They are interdependent and contradictory, and conflicts will break out sooner or later.

Why are you so sure? It is that the interests of Shinto are always the interests of Shinto and cannot be separated. It is a business monopolized by gods. Monks find a mountain to practice. This mountain has a mountain god. You need to buy a cave, buy land, and take a fancy to a plant. I thought that the spiritual grass was naturally raised, but when I picked it, I realized that it was specially raised by the mountain god and cost [-] yuan.

This is still an immortal in the immortal way, and the mortals are even more at the bottom. They are the pastures of gods and Buddhas. They kowtow to ask for faith, or visit the immortal family, spending all their wealth and only asking for a pill to avoid death and prolong life.

Or maybe the imperial power always succumbs to divine power, and there is no way to change this, because the set tone is that Shinto governs the world, Shinto rules the six paths, and all the human, immortal, ghost, Buddhist, demonic, and demonic ways are subject to it. Heaven.

These hidden dangers and contradictions can only be suppressed.

But there will be a day when it breaks out. Xiong Yu can't figure out why he needs to isolate heaven, humans, humans and ghosts. This is to end the rule of Shinto in the human world, and he can't figure out why he needs to untie the shackles of all living beings.

If it is just for dominance, it is indeed incomprehensible, but if it is for progress, for strength, for detonating the powder keg in advance to avoid being irreconcilable in the end, then this is right and a more progressive performance of Shinto civilization. From suppression to suppression, When a hundred flowers bloom, I actually feel more confident.

The reason why we are confident is that Jiuzhou has experienced the catastrophe of the World War and gained benefits and dividends. There are several more emperors. Even if it is another way, it is just that Buddhism has one more Buddha, and it does not affect the rule of Jiuzhou.

If you think about it more carefully, the god of authority has no irreconcilable conflict with mortals. Only the god of incense and fire has it. And the god of incense and fire is under the orthodox status of immortal Buddha. The god of authority reconciles heaven and earth, strengthens the origin, and has no irreconcilable conflict with the immortal way. A contradiction, after all, if immortals want to develop for a long time, they need powerful gods to govern the mountains and rivers.

What really caused the conflict was the strategy that Heavenly Court had previously implemented to suppress other orthodox traditions. For example, the heavenly tribulation was previously set, and the immortal realm must have three thousand merits to survive safely. If the merits are insufficient, the tribulation will fail.But the restrictions had been lifted during the Realm War.

Those who lack merit can also become immortals. They only need to return the energy of heaven and earth. However, the divine way has changed from suppressing the immortal way to encouraging the immortal way. The immortal way requires accumulating merit in exchange for heaven and earth karma. Immortals Gods are one, gods are immortals, and immortals are gods. This is the way of gods and immortals.

The only problem Xiong Yu found was that most of the Netherworld gods and incense gods were created by humans, either by heroes, famous generals, or good people. In short, they still have the same seven emotions and six desires as humans, with various hobbies, or Someone who is good at being a teacher, or someone who is good at writing and poetry, or someone who is good at antique calligraphy and painting, or inscriptions on gold and stone, can be manipulated. Therefore, if you are a good person in life, you may not be a good ghost after death. After you become a god, some of your hobbies will even be affected by some rival beings in the incense. Desire aggravates the condition.

This is the so-called "incense is poisonous". It's not that the process of purifying incense in heaven is not clean enough, but just like smoking, it has various flavors.

But a lot of grassroots work is done by the Incense God, not the true God of authority, so various problems will inevitably arise. However, the Incense God is easy to use and easy to control, so there is no need to worry about their rebellion. After all, their foundation is in various The weapon of the gods.These are all firmly in the hands of heaven and hell.

Therefore, unless Shinto creates its own rebellion, even if immortals, Buddhas, devils, and other Taoists unite, they will only achieve violent suppression.

The powerful gods have too much power and have suppressed the all-round development of the Nine Continents. That is why the gods have no purpose and cannot descend to the world to prevent the overflow of great power.

Only Empress Wa can strengthen all sentient beings, release the shackles of humanity, and also open the way for the evolution of strange beasts in the mountains and seas.

Xiong Yu was taught by Lao Dan, and he was very talented. Therefore, after only a few days as the Lord of the City God's Mansion, he could vaguely see that there might be great changes in the world.

So I quietly waited here for big changes to see if I could cause trouble. Of course, I had to enjoy it before making trouble.

"Sir, the branch of Jiuzhou Building has opened here. The shop is opened by a fat fox named Hu Youyou. He is said to be a disciple of Mrs. Sanniang Taitai, the wife of Xingchuzao Commander in Fire Mansion. Now it is open. The first one hundred Personally, I can eat the rice that will make me ecstasy after the ninth turn of hell."

Xiong Yu heard this and said: "This is a sad and ecstasy rice. It sounds like magic cooking. I won't eat it. If you want to try it, go and do it yourself."

After saying that, he turned around and turned a page of the novel "My Years as a City God" from the Wat board. This was the novel that Cao Chenghuang later published. Xiong Yu only regarded it as the work code of the City God. Absolutely It’s not about being addicted and not doing your job properly.

Chizhu curled his lips, took the money bag and went to the market, passing through the butts of each one (he was short, he could only see the buttocks), and went to the Jiuzhou Building.

The Jiuzhou Tower was not opened in the Blessed Land or in the City God's Spiritual Realm. It was in the Yangshi. The restaurant was a cave-manufactured magical artifact built with spiritual wood magical bricks. It had a total of nine floors. However, many places were smoky and looked a little... Oil stains.

Before Chizhu arrived at Jiuzhou Tower, he heard howling loudly, which could be described as shocking the world, weeping ghosts and gods, making those who heard it sad and those who heard it shed tears.

It turns out to be the power of Huangquan Jiuzhuan Ecstasy Rice. This rice is stir-fried from "Sansheng yellow rice" grown in Huangquan mud. It is seasoned with Qiqing salt. After eating it, you can recall the most regretful things in your life. , and amplify the senses. After eating and crying, there is a high chance that you will feel "sad and lost", a small chance that you will be "enlightened and see through the world of mortals", and there is also a small chance that you will hang yourself from the southeast branch.

However, after the meal, you are not allowed to leave. You need to observe for half an hour. The chef of Fat Fox Restaurant knows the magic of "Buddhist stick drinking". He holds a big stick as thick as an arm and knocks his head, and he will "suddenly wake up" a feeling of.

It is a delicacy that is highly praised by "Food Critic Sanmi Zhenjun" on the Wat Board. It is a three-star cuisine on the must-eat list in Jiuzhou.After Chi Zhuer got the prepared "Tianhe Fifteen" Wat Board, she became a little obsessed with eating and eating food. After all, she is a country monster. Even the most advanced people can't understand it. Just eating is the most intimate instinct.

When she squeezed into the crowd, Chi Zhuer shouted: "A heart-wrenching meal!"

The fat fox poked his head out and said, "It's sold out and only the Sweet Dream Osmanthus Sugar Cake is left. Do you want it?"

Looking at the customers sitting in the restaurant with runny noses and tears, and a few waiters holding small bottles to collect tears: "Don't waste it, take the tears yourself."

"Okay, that's fine." Chi Zhu'er didn't know why she was collecting tears, but she just regarded them as part of her bonding practice.

But after the tears were collected, the fat fox smelled them and labeled them: "tears of happiness", "tears of regret", "tears of sourness".
"What are these tears for?"

"Of course I have to collect the Eight Bitter Tears, the raw material of the Forgetting Pill. It doesn't move. Life is a practice. Falling into suffering and getting rid of suffering. Tears contain the most essence of human emotions. Once I refine the Forgetting Pill, I will go Overcome the love tribulation and complete the last tribulation among the nine tribulations of the Fox Immortal." Hu Youyou saw that this was a fledgling carp spirit, and the boyish image really reminded him of his old friend.

"It's so disgusting." Chi Zhu'er said in disgust, "I just saw that they even blew their noses into it."

"What?" Hu Youyou was shocked, and then thought again: "It's okay, I just extracted the eight bitter feelings in tears, taking the spirit but not the form, who cares."

Chi Zhu'er ate the sweet-scented osmanthus sugar cake. The sugar in it was extracted from the dreams of children. It was a pure and innocent sweetness, not the kind that grown up: "This is too sweet, a bit greasy." sweet.

Sure enough, he smiled so hard that his eyebrows arched, he turned around and left the restaurant, and saw an old man coming with a big carp: "Staff, do you want a fish? I just caught it this morning."

But I saw the carp shed tears one by one. The tears hardened with the wind and fell to the ground into beads, ticking.

But the passers-by were surprised: "Fisherman, you have caught a treasure fish. I never knew that fish can cry. Recently, many rare and strange animals have been born, and the big families are looking to buy them. They can be sold at a good price!"

Although the fisherman was startled, thinking about some kind of monster, he considered letting it go. When he heard that it could be sold for a big price, he suddenly became angry again. If he was not even afraid of poverty, then he was afraid of some kind of monster.

Immediately he said: "Is it true? I don't know any aristocratic families. If you know the goods and give them a suitable price, I will sell them too."

When Chi Zhuer saw that they were the same kind, she immediately felt pity: "I, I bought it."

However, everyone did not take him seriously and only thought that he was a doll.

At this time, the fat fox Hu Youyou stood up: "I want five taels of silver, just in time to make a whole fish feast."

"Is five taels enough?" The old man doesn't understand this. Fish and meat here are cheap. Big fish weighing ten kilograms or more cost only a hundred and ten kilograms. Small fish are even cheaper, often costing one penny per kilogram. This fishy smell It requires heavy oil and salt to cook delicious aquatic products, which are always inferior to pork and mutton meat.

The man didn't understand either and was just making noises. The old man hesitated and felt that he was being underpriced, so he just said: "Shopkeeper, please add more."

Hu Youyou was stingy and refused to pay even a cent of the budget, but Chizhu jumped up and took out a few jade shells: "I want it, I want it."

This is the currency of cultivation, and it is almost the same price as gold. Regardless of whether it is immortal or Shinto, gold is a usable thing, especially in sacrifices and palaces and temples. Gold has "spiritual power transmission properties".Even the weapon of power of the God of Wealth is made of gold.People believe that gold and wealth are linked.

The fisherman had never seen East China Sea shell coins, but he was still knowledgeable about the goods. He kept saying: "Exchange it, exchange it!"

The fisherman immediately collected the jade coins and gave the carp to Chizhu. Hu Youyou said: "I have a big water tank here, why not put it in the water tank first."

"You're not going to kill the cook, are you?"

"Probably, maybe, eh, if you want to eat it, you can pay some processing fees." Hu Youyou teased deliberately.

"Ah? I won't eat, I won't eat, I will let her go." Chizhu jumped up and down, and put the carp back in Qingjiang: "Let's go!"

As a result, in the next second, a fisherman swung a rod and caught it again.

Huan Huan happily said: "I'm selling fish!"

Chi Zhuer's face turned red with anger: "Why are you like this?"

"How am I doing? Isn't this already released? Why don't you buy it again and release it again to gain some merit?" The fisher was clearly a Qi-training monk who had gained access to Taoism through fishing. He had just used "Toad Fishing Strength" .”

Hu Youyou showed a fierce energy: "Believe it or not, I took out your heart and liver and made a pot of fisherman's special bait!"

The fishing cultivator said hehey: "Give me some, I won't do it again."

Hu Youyou tossed a few fish, and the monk obediently released the fish.

The carp turned around, as if to see their faces clearly, and then hid in the depths.

Hu Youyou said hey: "We've become friends!"
