Emperor Shentongjian

Chapter 1363
The news of Pingchao City's collapse reached General Li's ears. He really fell ill in fear, and ordered people to close the city gate, chanting "defend to the death" and the like.

A few days later, Daliang's army broke through two cities in a row, and attacked the city in one go.

The recruits were pushed up to the city tower, holding unused bows and arrows in their hands, staring blankly at the [-] murderous elite soldiers on the opposite side, if it weren't for Wang Wu and other veterans wiping their knives on the steps below, they would have run away long ago !

"It's over, surrender, this is for us to die!"

"Our country of Jin has been rotted into a sieve long ago, and the general we sent here is an idiot!"

After a few days of comfortable life, the recruits felt like fattened pigs who were thrown under the butcher's knife without any mental preparation, and they burst into tears.

A lieutenant general with good eyesight in the Daliang Army saw this situation, laughed and said to the heroic general on the horse beside him, "Concubine Li has bewitched King Jin to such an extent that she has ruined the government, and she is a coward. Could it be that the nephew of the Li family has stunned his own soldiers, look at that poor man, what a man he looks like!"

Wu Zifa, Marquis of Loyalty and General of the Western Expedition, had a smile on his face that had been blown cold by the wind and frost, but his tone was serious, "Don't take it lightly. When this city is captured, let's take a good rest and reward you!" All the generals!"

It was the winter season, and the faces, hands, and feet of Daliang soldiers were all frostbitten. They had long been looking forward to entering a shelter from the wind and rain, drinking a bowl of hot soup, and listening to the fact that they would be able to rest for a while after capturing the city. high!

Wu Zifa drew out his sword and gave the command to charge, "Go!"

He took the lead and didn't pay attention to the enemy soldiers who couldn't even hold their bows and arrows on the tower. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of one of the panicked enemy soldiers with a calm expression and was out of place.

Unexpectedly, he met the man's eyes, as if looking at the vast world, he was horrified, and almost fell off the horse, but fortunately, the deputy general quickly helped him with his eyesight.

"General?" The lieutenant looked at him worriedly.

"It's okay." He looked up the tower again, but he couldn't find the person.

Helpless, he attacked the city gate with strong anxiety. Fortunately, no accidents happened until they captured the city.

Wu Zifa went around the prison camp himself, secretly looking for the man, but he couldn't find him, so he couldn't help wondering if he had misread it.

He also said that after Zhan Changfeng met Wu Zifa, he was expected to be the emperor who would unify all countries in the East, and some ideas gradually took shape.

There are many factors contributing to the rapid increase of spirits and ghosts in this world, one of the most important reasons being luck.

If the luck of the human race is huge, the fate of the human race will be biased towards the human race, and there will be less opportunities for vegetation, animals, and metal and stone artifacts to become refined. What's more, when the human race is afraid of spirits and explicitly rejects the birth of ghosts, the power of the human race will be enough to influence the fate of the human race and suppress them. Their fate prevents them from becoming fine.vice versa.

Nowadays, countries big and small are constantly fighting, and the luck of the human race is chaotic and declining, which naturally gives space for vegetation, animals, and metal and stone artifacts to become refined.

It is also because the fate of heaven and earth is chaotic and disorderly, there are many dead, and the creatures who die with resentment and anger tend to become evil spirits.

Therefore, in order to restrain the ghosts and sneaks, we must first quell the war and restore order.

Since Wu Zifa has the appearance of an emperor, she will not interfere more.

What she wants to intervene is the realm that living spirits cannot touch - Fengshen.

The pacification of the war will not affect the existing ghosts and ghosts, and the method of subjugation passed down to earn faith during the period of King Donglin will not be able to stop the increasingly powerful ghosts and ghosts.

The so-called method of subduing things is to use glutinous rice, peach wood, realgar, mirror, salt, jade and other things that have the effect of warding off evil spirits to restrain some small evil spirits. At that time, there were very few spirits and ghosts in this world, so this method was enough , but not now.

From what she saw along the way, the strongest little demon was already comparable to the foundation cultivator, but the person was still an ordinary person.

It is unrealistic for the imperial court to send heavenly officials and generals down to sit in town. It is like chopping wood with a golden knife, which devalues ​​the value of the golden knife and damages the blade of the golden knife—it is not a good thing to suppress the cultivation base and stay in the mortal world for a long time The punishment for the grinder is about the same.

Therefore, it is best to train local people to sit in town.

It is necessary for this person not to have any interest relationship with the common people, but also for this person to be able to suppress spirits and ghosts, then this person can only be a "dead spirit".

Then the next question is how to teach this "dead spirit" how to practice.

The way of ghosts, the way of incense, the way of faith?

These three are interrelated. The Dao of Incense and Fire is originally a branch of the Dao of Ghosts, but it is a ghost formed from a soul of destiny. After cultivating a spirit body, it relies on the power of vows and beliefs of mortal beings to cultivate.

And the Dao of Faith is a branch created from the Dao of Incense and Fire, and it only absorbs beliefs for cultivation.Later, there were living spirits who practiced these two ways, especially monks of Buddhism, Taoism and Shinto.

Taiyi does not aim to collect faith power, and to a certain extent, Zhan Changfeng rejects faith power.

Because the power of faith is actually part of the spiritual power of a living being, when a living being attaches or bestows this part of spiritual power to a certain existence, the original power of the living being will be weakened, and there will be a lack of creativity and independence.

The most direct manifestation is to use great supernatural powers to send him to reincarnation, but he will not be able to succeed because his original power is too weak.

Of course, the loss of psychic power is not much, or it is replenished later, except.

Therefore, truly responsible monks should give feedback after accepting their beliefs and help them do some practical things, even if they send a blessing to make them go smoothly.

If you can't, don't accept the believer's faith.

It's a pity that most monks who practice faith do not have this self-control.

If we talk about the root cause, it comes from the system of the Tao of incense and the Tao of belief.

Let me first talk about the monks of Xianghuo Dao cultivating with vows and beliefs. They are more dependent on believers. Once no one enshrines them and believes in them, they will lose their source of power and will perish. Therefore, many incenses have emerged. Taoist monks meet the demands of believers without restraint, and believers often turn to "gods" for help when they have nothing to do with childbirth.

Let’s talk about the Dao of Faith, the development of the Dao of Faith is partly because the monks of the Incense Fire Dao want to get rid of the situation of being “kidnapped” by believers.

However, the loophole in the way of faith lies in the fact that the power of faith can be collected without fulfilling the wishes of believers and without helping believers to do practical things, such as posing on the stage to deceive the audience to follow the puffed-up actor, and an impassioned instigator who wins with his words.

But Zhan Changfeng wants a more perfect and broad "Shen Dao", so that they can't bear the burden of the common people, and can go straight to the Dao like Taoist monks.

In the past, she had thought about using merits and laws to restrain her, and she was also experimenting with her avatar, and she had already figured out a set of incomplete cultivation methods.

This kind of cultivation method turns the power of merit into the source of the soul, and uses the source of the soul to participate in the power of the law. This kind of cultivation method greatly weakens the possibility of opportunism, has a high morality, and has a broad prospect.

The imperfection is that the current cultivation method of this system is single. If you can't find the god totem in the later stage, or you can't realize the power of the law yourself, you will not be able to continue your cultivation.

There is also a threshold for cultivation. A cultivator must have the soul of the earth, the soul of life, and the soul of heaven. If one is missing, the source of the soul is incomplete.
