People are conferring gods: I have risen from the beginning, I am the White Emperor!

In a mountain forest a hundred miles east of the Da Chong tribe,

Bai Zhao was explaining things to a demon with a monkey head and body.

This monkey demon was the younger brother he took after he came to the ancient world. For hundreds of years, he has been practicing with him, absorbing the world. Spiritual energy, the essence of the sun and the moon, and now his cultivation is about to reach the peak of the mortal realm.

It is said that there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings.

This time he wants to travel and improve his cultivation.

The insect tribe cannot be left unattended, so it is entrusted to him.

After teaching him how to get started with the ways of the gods, Bai Zhao rushed towards the nearest human tribe.

…………

In the early morning, there was the Salt Tribe, and a group of tribal elders were gathering together with laughter. They were talking about the changes that had taken place in the human tribe in recent years.

Five years ago, an immortal in white clothes walked out of the mountains and forests and passed down the code.

They tried to implement this new version of the code in their respective tribes, and then they were pleasantly surprised to find that following the detailed rules in the code could make their behavior more standardized and orderly.

Originally, because Gao Tao died too early, he decided No one has perfected the laws of the first generation under the Emperor.

As a result, even in the Xia Qi era, the judicial system of the Yao Emperor's period is still used.

Society is progressing, but the laws are still the same. This leaves many loopholes in the laws that can be exploited.

Many people with bad intentions took advantage of these loopholes to do evil, which caused great headaches for the clan elders who managed the tribe. Punishing these evildoers was a waste of energy. The Xia Dynasty only had five punishments: Mo, Jie, Ji, Gong, and Dapi.

Excessive punishment would cause the tribe to disperse. A large number of young people labored, and the punishment was too light and it was difficult to deter the villains and could not convince the others.

Now the immortal came and passed down the code. He not only filled in the loopholes in the law, but also added many new details of the law. He also created The four punishments of flogging, cane, imprisonment, and exile give them more choices for those who disobey discipline and do not abide by the law. It greatly restricts the evil deeds of evil people and allows those who do not listen to education and turn into evildoers to be jailed. By using the law, people in the tribe will also know what to do and what not to do.

In this way, the tribe will naturally maintain long-term peace and stability.

In addition, this immortal often appears in many difficult cases, helping clan elders determine right and wrong, and helping many good people who have been wronged to reverse their cases.

Now many human tribe managers and good people protected by tribal laws are very interested in this person. The immortal who handed down the code was grateful, offered incense, and called this immortal the god of justice. He prescribed justice in the world, administered justice in the world, dealt with injustice, and supervised the evil deeds of evildoers.

Many evil people also respected this immortal. ,

I didn’t dare to continue doing evil, for fear that one day I would be punished by the immortals, so

I actually started to put up plaques at home to offer incense.

Now Bai Zhao is considered a minor god among the human race.

……

On this day,

Bai Zhao was wandering among the newly arrived human tribes, and suddenly felt the movement of the spiritual treasure.

He took out the Gaotao Codex the size of a jade pendant with his backhand, and found that the text above it had increased a lot, which he had spread among the human tribe over the years. The contents of the code, the punishments described have also been changed from five to nine, including all four punishments: whipping, rod, punishment, and exile. They can be used against the enemy, and their power is greatly increased.

The last three prohibitions have never been refined. It was all refined at this moment.

From then on, the Gaotao Code was completely under his control, and he could send and receive it at will.

Bai Zhao's eyes were filled with joy, and he kept stroking the Gaotao Code with his right hand.

Unexpectedly, the Gaotao Code could also incorporate the newly compiled laws he later compiled to increase its power.

Bai Zhao was immersed in the greatly increased power of the Lingbao. In the midst of his joy, a small golden beam of light suddenly fell from the sky and rushed into his body.

The next second,

Bai Zhao felt comfortable all over, and his understanding of the avenue of law became a little deeper, and his cultivation level quickly and steadily improved. , only half a step away from entering the middle stage of immortality!

And this golden light falling from the sky also made the people around them discover the existence of Bai Zhao, and they immediately knelt down and shouted,"Blessings from the Immortals."

Many people also recognized Bai Zhao as the god of justice who spread the law, so they knelt down and worshiped even harder..

Bai Zhao casually used his magic power to lift them up, and then began to study the things inside his body.

"Is this a humanitarian virtue?"

Feeling the faint golden auspicious light shrouding his body, Bai Zhao was quite stunned, but then he understood that he had passed down the code among the human tribes, perfected the human laws, and made the human society more orderly. , is no longer so chaotic, and is beneficial to humanity. It is naturally due to the merits of humanity.

However, the scope of the code he has passed down now is not large. It is only spread and implemented in three or five tribes, and the code passed down is only implemented in the Da Chong tribe. The first-generation code that he had passed had very limited promotion of the social order of the human race, so this ray of humane merit was not very large, but it was enough to surprise him.

After all, merit is the existence of snake oil in the ancient world, and it can be used to enhance the power of spiritual treasures, and also It can be used to increase your affinity for the path you are cultivating, and it can also be used to directly improve your cultivation.

For example, Saint Nuwa made human beings saints, and the Great Master Houtu opened up reincarnation and achieved the status of an authentic saint, all because he gained a large amount of merit. , reach the sky in one step

"Merits are so easy to use, so you can plan more in the future."

Bai Zhao secretly thought in his heart. At this moment, a sea-blue escaping light appeared in front of him from far away. Bai Zhao put away the spirit treasure in his hand and looked at the person who came. The other person was a man in blue. The middle-aged man in robes has a slender black beard. He has a delicate face and a gentle temperament. He looks like a Confucian scholar. Looking at his cultivation, he is probably in the early stage of a true immortal. When he saw the white move, he bowed and said:

"Congratulations to fellow Taoist for your great merit. Bai

Zhao also responded politely:

"It's just a little merit, just a fluke."

The middle-aged man chuckled,

"If a Taoist friend is too humble, to be able to obtain merits from humanity, it is natural that what the Taoist friend has done has been recognized by humanity, and his merits will be with the human race for thousands of years. How can there be such a thing as luck? After saying that

, he looked at the white moves again and continued:

"My name is Ao Qing, and I currently serve in the prince's mansion in Jizhou."

"Fellow Taoist, is the God of Justice in front of you?"

Bai Zhao shook his head with a smile,

"I don’t dare to be the God of Justice. My name is Bai Zhao, and I am a casual cultivator in the mountains."

Rogue cultivator?

A trace of surprise flashed in Ao Qing's eyes.

How could any casual cultivator have such insight, be able to perfect the laws left by the great sage Gaotao, and be recognized by humanity and receive meritorious deeds?

But this is not what he has to consider now. After thinking about the matter for a moment, Ao Qing said:

"Fellow Taoist Bai,"

"The Marquis of Jizhou had the Yi family. After hearing about Taoist friends' deeds, he set out to look for Taoist friends everywhere, hoping to meet him."

"But I didn’t want to be met first by me this time."

Ao Qing first talked about how the Marquis of Jizhou was thirsty for talents, and then he got to the point.

"The Marquis of Jizhou wanted to vigorously implement the new code of Taoist friends in the territory of Jizhou."

"We sincerely invite Taoist friends to join the government to further improve the human race’s judicial laws."

"When the matter is completed, the Marquis of Jizhou will definitely recommend the Taoist friends to the court together with Emperor Qi to serve as a judge, specializing in human justice!"

"If fellow Taoist fellow Daoist can go one step further, he might even be named the righteous god of justice in the dynasty by Emperor Qi!"
