With the order to destroy the Buddha, people have to give up their beliefs.

A considerable number of them turned to Taoism, because they found that after losing Buddhism, they still want to have a psychological sustenance, to be able to talk to the gods, even though the local gods seem to be not as many as the previous Buddha.

However, now that the Buddhas are gone, Taoism should always be stronger.

Although the extermination of Buddhism was carried out on a large scale in the Northern Dynasties, Liu Song, which was separated by a river, was also greatly affected.

When they first heard the news, people were still sympathetic and indignant, but gradually, everyone would think, what happened to the Buddha who often heard about the miracles but did not do anything in the past?

With so many tragedies, can't the Buddha not see them?

What's more, it is said that the reason why Emperor Wei was angry and destroyed the Buddha this time was not only that he himself surrendered to the embrace of Taoism, but also because he discovered that the monks had fornicated women.

After thinking about it, all kinds of guesses came out.

People's faith was slowly lost. Since there were more Buddhists in the Southern Dynasties than in the Northern Dynasties, this bloodless blow was even worse in the Northern Dynasties.

Tuoba Tao listened expressionlessly to the reports of the attack on Buddhism by the courtiers. In fact, these courtiers also believed in Buddhism. Of course, they would now claim to have renounced themselves, but they still couldn't help but have a little pity in their words.

However, their emperor seemed to have a heart of stone, and he didn't care about the bloodshed of those monks at all.

In other words, he thought that these monks should bleed after enjoying the people's fat and people's anointing for so many years.

Perhaps today people only see how pitiful the monks are and how tragic the images are, but they don’t realize how much suffering the common people have suffered for a long time because of the monks’ encroachment on fields and lending money.

Tuoba Tao could not allow his country to override another right above the imperial power.

As for what's next...

People will still need gods, more honest gods.

Tuoba Tao looked at Kou Qianzhi.

Kou Qianzhi stepped forward consciously. Now that he has been conferred an official position, he is also eligible to speak at the Golden Palace, "Next month there will be birthdays of many gods, such as the Queen Mother, the City God, and the Yellow Bamboo Immortal. matter, offering sacrifices to the gods."

Tuoba Tao nodded and said: "Yes."

Kou Qianzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

His Majesty has always been very concerned about Huang Zhu Shangxian, and often urged him to contact Huang Zhu Shangxian.Some time ago, when Minggan was around, he didn't say anything about it, but for some reason, Minggan suddenly disappeared, and His Majesty urged him to find Huangzhu Shangxian again.

Seeing that His Majesty's ruthless actions have made Buddhism like this, how dare Kou Qianzhi not care about it, so he took this opportunity to prepare to work harder.

After Kou Qianzhi went back, he began to delve into the ancient books. Although he had successfully communicated with Huangzhu Shangxian before, he also understood after a few times that the person talking to him was just an errand, not the real master.

In the recent communication, I couldn't even invite errand runners.

So Kou Qianzhi wanted to see if there was any other way.

In the end, he really found it.

That is to hold sacrifices with the ancient rituals of the Yellow Emperor, so that the gods to be sacrificed will come to the place of sacrifice according to the ancient rituals.

Although they mortals may not be able to see the gods, isn't that also inviting the gods?

When it was time for the sacrifice, Kou Qianzhi told Tuoba Tao that this time he changed the method and used ancient rituals to sacrifice. This way, Huang Zhu Shangxian should come to the scene instead of sending a message.

Tuoba Tao was very happy and asked Kou Qianzhi to do a good job. If he succeeded, the national teacher would be his.

When Kou Qian heard this, he was immediately full of energy, and excitedly began to do things.

Leading the apprentices through the process that had been rehearsed many times, finally, Kou Qianzhi read out the formula and threw out a few talismans that each represented the gods that would be sacrificed for a few days.

Several talismans stayed in the air, and Kou Qianzhi stared at them nervously.

Slowly, the Fu Wuhuo representing the Queen Mother spontaneously ignited, and at the same time, a stick of incense in front of the statue of the Queen Mother on the table was also automatically lit!

Kou Qianzhi quickly knelt down, "The queen mother has arrived!"

Tuoba Tao also led all the ministers to worship the gods.

Next, the talismans of the gods such as City God and Tai Sui Xingjun also started to burn, and each burned incense, but there was only Huangzhu Shangxian left, and there was no movement at all.

Tuoba Tao was furious and went straight to the altar.

Kou Qianzhi was frightened crazy, afraid that Tuoba Tao would throw the table on the spot and hit the Queen Mother.

But fortunately, Tuoba Tao just came here and gritted his teeth looking at the sky, "Come out for me!!"

Kou Qianzhi had a bitter face, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here..."

He originally wanted Tuoba Tao to pay attention to some influence, but who knew that Tuoba Tao took this as a reminder, and said to the incense representing the Queen Mother directly in front of the altar: "My Lady Queen, you should be able to hear it now, right? I want to find Huang Zhu..."

Kou Qianzhi: "..."

……

Yaochi: "...what the hell is this?"

She turned her head in surprise to look at Yili coming, but she didn't take a seat, but Huang Zhu standing outside the altar.

Except for Yaochi, the other little gods who were just making up numbers, looked at each other with gossipy faces at the moment, wondering what Huang Zhu did to the emperor in the world, why did he act like a debt collector?

Here, only Yao Chi knew that Tuoba Tao was the reincarnation of Di Jun. She remembered Huang Zhu's reluctance to mention Di Jun before, and thought it was Di Jun who made Huang Zhu angry. It's like Huang Zhu is sorry for him?

Huang Zhu was also very embarrassed!

And he was afraid that Tuoba Tao would say something terrible in front of Yaochi and other gods, and his identity would be exposed in the future, should he still live?

Huang Zhu had no choice but to coax all these gods down from the altar.

"Hey, real person, you want to come up, why are you chasing us?"

"Go, go, you all go back! Yaochi, take them back to eat fruit." Huang Zhu took out his elder brother's airs and said to Yaochi.

Although Yao Chi was also full of gossip, seeing Huang Zhu's appearance, he had no choice but to stand up for him and said: "Since brother has something to do, let's go back to Heaven, anyway, the Peach Fair is about to start."

Originally, offering sacrifices to emperors in the world is a good thing, but among these gods, there are not many who are eligible to participate in the Peach Blossom Festival. Yao Chi said so, basically just giving them tickets, why would they miss this human sacrifice that has not yet started?

As for the gossip, let's put it down for now!

As a result, these mortals saw that all the incense that they thought were burning except for the Yellow Bamboo Immortal suddenly went out, and instead the incense of the Yellow Bamboo Immortal ignited.

Kou Qianzhi's spirit was lifted, and the national teacher was in hand!

"Your Majesty, the Immortal Huangzhu has arrived!"

Having said that, Huangzhushangxian is really interesting. Either he doesn't come, and the queen mother is squeezed away when he comes. What's the situation?

Tuoba Tao's expression also eased, "For you to know..."

Huang Zhu gritted his teeth when he heard that, who is this, he has become a mortal and still threatens him?If he hadn't let the gossip spread for everyone's benefit, anyway, it was Di Jun who confessed to him, not him to Di Jun!Let's see who is more disadvantaged?

Tuoba Tao directly drove the Taoist priests to the altar, and these Taoist priests sat around the altar to meditate. In this way, it seemed to outsiders that the emperor was offering sacrifices to the gods under the protection of the Taoist priests.

But in fact, Tuoba Tao said to Huang Zhu's statue with dissatisfaction, "Come out!"

Huang Zhu didn't move at all, the statue was still the statue.

Tuoba Tao took a step closer, "Come out!"

Huang Zhu thought to himself, I won't come out, you can talk or not, anyway Yaochi and the others have gone far away, we are not threatened by you.

Besides, if he showed up now, wouldn't he be back to that embarrassing situation again.

"Do you want to hide from me until I die?" Tuoba Tao only felt aggrieved!

It was the first time he confessed to someone, but he was dizzy right after he finished speaking, and he couldn't even find his shadow afterwards.We had to create such a situation, if Huang Zhu didn't show up, he couldn't even have a direct conversation.

Tuoba Tao angrily picked up the bamboo stick, "I'll give you another chance, let me ask you, will you get out today or not?"

As soon as he threw the rice bowl, two pieces of the rice bowl fell to the ground, both of which were tails, and there was no cup, which showed Huang Zhu's attitude: not coming out.

Tuoba Tao: "..."

Tuoba Tao took a deep breath, "Okay, you don't come out..."

He walked around a few times anxiously, and the courtiers who saw some distance from the altar began to worry. Is your majesty communicating with the gods?What happened? With such a sad look, could it be that the fortunes of the Northern Wei Dynasty are not so good, or is disaster about to happen?

Tuoba Tao stood firm and decided, "...then let's communicate like this!"

Huang Zhu: You are really promising! ! !

Tuoba Tao picked up the raft again and said, "Let me ask you, are you embarrassed that you didn't see me?"

The scorpion fell to the ground, one positive and the other negative, Bu Youbei, Huang Zhu agreed, didn't he feel a little embarrassed to face Tuoba Tao.

Tuoba Tao bent down, holding the bamboo stick, "Well, that means, you still like me, otherwise why would you feel embarrassed?"

Two pieces of bamboo fell to the ground, this time it was two opposite sides, and there was nothing left.

Huang Zhu: I'm going!How did this conclusion come to be!What a thick skin!

Tuoba Tao: "I see, I asked too directly, and you are too embarrassed to admit it. Then let me change the question, I am going to seal you, do you have a title you like?"

Two pieces of bamboo fell to the ground again, two fronts, it was Huang Zhu who didn't answer.

Those courtiers are all depressed, why is His Majesty not finished yet, how many times do you have to throw a scorpion?Haven't found your favorite color yet?

Tuoba Tao said in front of the altar as if he was talking to himself: "Then I will decide for myself, can I seal it according to the queen's format?"

"Impossible!!" Huang Zhu couldn't take it anymore, walked down from the altar, and appeared in front of Tuoba Tao alone.

Before he could finish speaking, Tuoba Tao stood up suddenly, hugged his head and kissed him as if he had been prepared for a long time!

Huang Zhu was stunned.

Those courtiers were also confused: what kind of posture is your majesty, is your majesty crazy if you didn't ask for a good divination? ?
