After being dressed as the evil god

Where are the fairies?

If people in the world have difficulties, they will bow down to the gods and pray to the gods. If the gods have difficulties, who should they pray to?

In Wuhou Temple, the bronze censer with rough patterns cast in front of the temple is tall and steady, and the incense in the censer is full of incense, and the light green smoke exudes a strong sandalwood fragrance, which rises to the sky.Two wooden shelves were added to the left and right of the temple, on which there are many wooden statues of lamp-holding figurines.In the apse, the doors and windows were tightly closed to block all visitors, and there was no sound from the outside, and people who walked nearby thought that the temple had locked the door.

The interior of the apse is not dark, but the light that comes from nowhere illuminates the inside brightly and transparently.On the ground in the center of the main hall is a table with various melons, fruits and cakes, and a small bamboo basket with a wild taste, which contains a handful of slightly hot roasted chestnuts.There is a futon on one side of the table, and on it sits an old man in gray and black rough clothes, with a restrained and simple style.On the other side of the table, there are a few soft cushions scattered, with exquisite flowers, birds, fish and insects embroidered on the cushion surface, and a few embroidered portraits of beauties, some looking through the window, smiling by the railing, or sleeping on the couch in spring. Hou lay on these soft cushions, with one elbow propped on the ground, and the other hand holding a wine jug, pouring down the clear liquid, and pouring his head up into his throat, it seemed a bit romantic and reckless leaning against the red and nestling in the green.

Chi Mako sat cross-legged on the futon, watching him quietly, as if she didn't feel slighted.He waited patiently until Wu Hou's wine jug, which could hold a lake of water, was finally empty.

"Shouyi." Chi Mako called out.

This is the name of Marquis Wu in his previous life. He is the reincarnation of Diancang Mountain. Before reincarnation, he was from the same sect as Chi Zhenzi.

Marquis Wu interrupted him, saying: "Wu Keji."

Chi Zhenzi also calmly changed her address: "Wu Keji."

Wu Hou looked at him with a headache.Chi Mako is a very patient person, and he is also very good at cultivating energy. If he wants to achieve something, it is difficult for you to make him give up, and it is also difficult for him to get angry.So after he made up his mind to linger here, it was difficult for Marquis Wu to find any way to get rid of it—if he wanted to force it, he still had the means to drive Chi Zhenzi away. He was originally an eclectic people.But Chi Mako is his senior brother of the same school. He started late and didn't understand anything. The master ordered Chi Mako to take him with him. Mako is actually equivalent to his half teacher.His outrageous methods could not be used on Chi Mako, so he had to be blocked in the apse by him.

Chi Mako has continued to say: "You are reincarnated now, and I can still protect you."

Marquis Wu laughed wildly: "It's nothing more than letting go of the spirit and cultivation, what am I afraid of?"

When he gave up his previous life and re-entered reincarnation, it was Chi Mako who protected him.Although he lost his physical cultivation in a life-sacrificing life, his spiritual cultivation remained. Otherwise, he would not have been able to resist Xingfeng Guan and seize this place not long after his death as Wu Keji. For his belief, Wuhou Temple was built.If ordinary ghosts do not practice, their power is based on resentment, the heavier the resentment, the stronger their strength and the less clear their minds will be.When Wu Keji just died, of course he didn't have time to cultivate, but he had extraordinary abilities and his mind was still very clear.From this, Xingfengguan can see that he is a reincarnated person, but he doesn't know his origin before reincarnation.They tried their best to find out the origin of Marquis Wu, but in the end they got nothing.It's normal not to be able to find him. Even Diancang Mountain couldn't find his reincarnated body. It wasn't until the name of Marquis Wu became famous here that Chi Zhenzi accidentally discovered that he was the Shouyi he was looking for.

It is not uncommon for monks to reincarnate and re-cultivate. It is almost impossible to prepare in advance. The situation of reincarnation can only depend on one's own accumulation. The old friend wakes up the confusion and reintroduces the door.Normally, after Chi Mako protects his reincarnation, he will find his reincarnation body and reintroduce him into the door.But Shouyi back then secretly played tricks and did not reincarnate to the place agreed with Chi Mako.He was reincarnated as Wu Keji, hid in the Kingdom of Liang, and covered his traces by relying on the special power of observing precepts.

Chi Zhenzi spent a lot of effort to find him, but when he found him, Wu Keji had already become Marquis Wu.The well-behaved little junior has grown up and has his own considerations in his heart.Chi Zhenzi talked with him several times, Wuhou didn't want to go back, and he didn't force it, practice is his own way, and others can't walk behind his back.But Chi Mako came this time, but wanted to accomplish one thing.

Reincarnation is equivalent to changing a physical body, the cultivation of the physical body cannot be taken away, and the soul remains unchanged. If there is no accident, the cultivation of the soul can be brought to the next life.But now Netherworld has become more and more unstable.The reincarnation of reincarnation is the natural movement of heaven and earth, but someone is trying to interfere in the nether world, and reincarnation is no longer safe, not to mention that Marquis Wu also raised a house of resentful ghosts. They have deep grievances and everyone hates Marquis Wu. He can still hold them down now, but if the current trend continues, he will be backlashed one day.

Chi Zhenzi looked deeply at Marquis Wu: "It's not just about the spiritual cultivation."

There was no emotion in Chi Zhenzi's eyes, but Wu Hou felt that he was about to lose his laugh.He turned his eyes to the wine jug he was playing with in his hand, smiled casually, his body was soaked in the smell of alcohol, as if he was still drunk: "Then what else can there be?"

"Not far outside your jurisdiction, there used to be a dog king." Chi Mako said, looking at him calmly.

Wu Hou raised his eyebrows, his eyes were misty and moist with alcohol, as if he just realized what Chi Zhenzi said, but when he turned his eyes back from the flagon and met Chi Zhenzi's gaze again, the expression on his face The expression can no longer be done.

That dog king has turned into a weird one, it's just around his jurisdiction, of course he knows it.Chi Mako also saw that he was just pretending to be stupid, but he was neither angry nor angry, his eyes clearly showed that he had seen through, but he spoke clearly every sentence in his mouth, and forced him towards him.

"The living beings incarnate in a strange way. After death, not only the physical body and the spiritual cultivation base are scattered, but even the true spirit also perishes." Chi Zhenzi picked out the things that both of them knew, "When the true spirit dies, it will disappear completely. gone."

The physical body is like the clothes of the soul. In the eyes of mortals, life and death are important matters. For practitioners who have reached a certain level, they are just stripping off old clothes and changing them again. The damage to the soul is more serious. If the soul is completely wiped out, only A little bit of true spirit is really equivalent to nothing.But the true spirit is still there, and there is a chance to start again.Both the physical body and the soul will be worn away, but the true spirit is immortal, and the cause and effect and numerology of a living being are tied to the true spirit, so there is no such thing as "the debt of a person is eliminated", even if the body and soul are gone. , memory and cultivation will no longer exist, if there is unresolved cause and effect, you must continue to accept it.Just like if a person loses his memory and no longer remembers what he has done, if he was once a robber who murdered money, can he be considered innocent because he does not remember?If he had been a generous and good man, wouldn't someone be able to not pay him back because he didn't remember?

Therefore, the longevity of true spirits and causal numerology complement each other. There has never been a death of a true spirit before. The spirits also completely died out, and the karma and numerology that continued to them were also forcibly torn off, leaving behind an empty and terrifying black hole.

Marquis Wu half-opened and half-closed his eyes, he knew what happened, even better than Chi Zhenzi.

Before the demise of the true spirit, the broken karma and numerology can be repaired by various means, but after the demise of the true spirit, there is no way to make up the karma and numerology in this world.The disappearing true spirit has disappeared, but the cause and effect and numerology that should have been connected to them are still there, and they can only lonely involve the sentient beings on the other side, broken and floating in the void.

The demise of the first true spirit did not happen after the rise of the strange catastrophe, it was farther away, when Marquis Wu was still Shouyi.He had to choose reincarnation also has something to do with it.

Marquis Wu knew what Chi Zhenzi wanted him to do.Chi Zhenzi wants him to give up his ghost body to cultivate now. He has accumulated too much resentment with this ghost body, and he is destined to be unable to achieve enlightenment with this body. On the day when he has to give up, the situation will inevitably be extremely dangerous, and Wu Hou may not even be able to keep his true spirit.Now let go of this body to cultivate, resolve the evil spirit of the resentful ghost in the palace, and reincarnate, with the care of Chi Zhenzi and the protection of Diancang Mountain, at least the true spirit can be guaranteed to be safe.

Chi Mako asked him to cut off his tail to survive.

The reverent prayers of people in front of the temple came faintly, as if they came from another world in the distance.Wu Hou knew very well that the path Chi Zhenzi chose for him was the best choice at present, but he was unwilling to do so.

After Chi Mako found him again, he had discussed this issue with him countless times. It used to be because of his narrow way of doing things, but now it has added the influence of the catastrophe.He had forcefully fooled him before, but this time, if he couldn't give a real explanation, Chi Mako might not leave.

"Didn't you always want to know why I concealed my reincarnation?" Wu Hou lifted the lid of the jug and took a sniff.

Chi Mako nodded.

After reincarnation is the weakest time, if someone guides and is protected by the teacher, it is a safe choice.Marquis Wu had to be reincarnated because of an accident, and he didn't make a mistake, so why did he run away?Marquis Wu hadn't mentioned it before, and he didn't force him to ask.

"I was forced to reincarnate back then, not because of an accident, but because my precepts were almost destroyed." Wu Hou said.He said the matter lightly, the clothes and cushions were smelled of alcohol, his eyes were misty as if he was still intoxicated, but Chi Mako was still surprised when he heard the words.

Chi Zhenzi didn't know about this, but only knew that Shouyi had an accident at that time, and his cultivation base would be destroyed, so he had to abandon this life and reincarnate to rebuild.

Marquis Wu practiced precepts, but he was not so strict with every precept, otherwise he would not be able to cultivate. The road is one step at a time. No one is born a saint. If he can really do it, he has reached the end of his practice. , and there is no need to practice anymore.Marquis Wu treats most of the precepts the same as other practitioners. He only facilitates the practice of the method and allows temporary departure from the precepts. There is only one precept, which is the foundation of his precepts.

This precept is a secret precept and cannot be proclaimed to others. Except for himself and the master who gave him the precepts, no third person knows what precepts he holds.

Marquis Wu has continued: "My precepts are not unstable because of my fault, but because of the changes of heaven and earth."

The precepts of practitioners are not set randomly, they are related to heaven, earth and Taoism. Otherwise, if a person swears that he will not eat filth and does this kind of thing, can he be regarded as successful in his practice?

The essence of keeping precepts lies in practice. Precepts naturally communicate with the heaven and earth. If the heaven and earth are unstable, the precepts will naturally be unstable.Shouyi was trapped here. He did not violate the precepts, but because of the changes in the world, his own practice went wrong, so he had to sacrifice his life and reincarnate.

Having said that, Chi Mako understood.He will not continue to ask, if he asks more carefully, it will involve the content of Wu Hou's secret ring.

"You secretly reincarnated here to adjust your precepts?" Chi Mako asked.

Marquis Wu said: "That's right."

Observing precepts is the foundation of his practice, which is why he got his title.So when his precepts falter, he hurts the foundation.The way of heaven and earth is in turmoil, but he has no way to turn the tide and correct it. If he doesn't want to give up his precepts, he can only adjust his precepts.But how can the precepts be easily adjusted?For this reason, he had to give up his whole body of cultivation and reincarnate again. Wu Keji had never practiced in his life, and he was constantly testing and adjusting, but so far he has not succeeded.It is normal to fail to achieve success. The foundation of precepts lies in the Tao. If the roots have been shaken, how can we expect the branches to be stable?

If he wanted to change the precepts, he had to carefully repair the bruises, or completely cut off the branches and make new hairs, neither of which was easy. He sacrificed his life in two lifetimes, and with determination, forcibly stabilized the precepts.

He had given reasons, but they were not enough.He can do these things in Diancang Mountain, why should he avoid them?

Chi Mako has already thought of it.He used to wonder why Wu Hou acted in extreme ways, but now he understood, and he looked at Wu Hou with regret.

Wu Hou shook the jug, but there was no more wine in the jug.His eyes fell on the empty space, as if he was talking to Chi Zhenzi, but also as if he was muttering to himself: "The cause and effect have been messed up, what's the point of doing good deeds and keeping precepts?"

When doing good becomes easy to be bullied, and when doing evil becomes profitable, and all living beings are guided by this, what will this world become?

The believers in front of the Wuhou Temple come and go, the small drums are dressed as children, and the heat from the big incense burner makes their faces flush and sweat on their foreheads, and they pass incense sticks to the believers in line to watch them worship the gods and pray for success.

The gods in the mouths of all beings are just creatures walking on the road of practice. Practitioners do not need to pray, they follow the Tao, and the Tao is their guidance and protection.

But what if the way is messed up?

Cause and effect are destroyed, life energy is chaotic, good and evil have no rewards and punishments, practice has no guidance, and all beings are confused.

Wu Hou is not asking himself, he is asking all living beings.He has practiced the precepts for two lifetimes, and his mind is firm. No matter how the external environment changes, his mind will not change accordingly.He tried to adjust his precepts, but that would go against his heart, so how is that different from abstaining from precepts?He is unwilling to give up the precepts. Could it be that he is reluctant to give up the power of the precepts?He practiced the law of keeping the precepts. Could it be that what he cultivated was strength?

No, what he cultivated was his own heart.If so, why change the precept?

He thought about this possibility long before reincarnation.The world is vast, and the strength of one person is so small. If he wants to maintain his way and keep his precepts in the chaotic world, he must resort to extraordinary means.

He is using himself to fill the hole between heaven and earth.

Chi Mako no longer persuaded him.

"I'm leaving and going to Tushan." He said.

Wu Hou nodded, stretched his arm holding the pot, and called for more wine.

Yue Niang floated in quietly, holding a pot in her hand, her face was covered with a beautiful embroidered mask, almost identical to a real person, only a little stiff.

Wu Hou pointed at Chi Zhenzi to her: "This is my brother, give him an embroidery thread."

Yueniang picked out a piece of silk thread from her cuff and handed it to Chi Mako. After Chi Mako took it, the embroidery thread disappeared.

Because of her obsessions during her lifetime, after she practiced ghost cultivation, she developed two special abilities. One is to find people through embroidery threads, and the other is to change her appearance through embroidery.The limitations of these two abilities are also obvious. The former requires the other party to be willing to take the embroidery thread. It is also easy for someone with a higher cultivation level than her to cut it off. She will be shielded, as long as the thread is continuous, she will be able to find it along the embroidery thread; for the latter, she has not yet practiced well, her face will be a little stiff, and it is easy to be seen, but compared to the usual method of changing her appearance, embroidery The mask can cover her breath and make her look like a mortal.

Marquis Wu didn't explain, so Yueniang didn't ask any more questions.Wu Hou said that Chi Zhenzi was his senior brother, which means he can trust this person.After Yueniang finished filling the wine, she quietly withdrew holding the pot again.

Chi Zhenzi got up and glanced at Wu Hou.Yueniang didn't understand, but he did.Marquis Wu asked Yueniang to hand over the embroidery thread to him, which meant entrusting the ghosts and believers under his command to him.What kind of person would entrust his funeral?He poured wine like a dry land to store water, but he refused to show the slightest pain.

Chi Zhenzi swung open the door of the apse and strode away: "You, take care."

Wu Hou poured the new wine down his throat, didn't look at him, but waved his hands.

The incense burning in front of the temple was still in full swing, some people had no time to line up to offer incense, put the roasted chestnuts on the table, bowed to the gods in the temple, and hurried down the mountain, where the red dust and fireworks were flourishing.

Chi Mako looked away and sighed inwardly.

Shouyi...

……

On the high platform, it is suitable for overlooking from a distance, and it is also suitable for watching Qi.

From the Chengtai Terrace, where Liangdu is so high, you can see the world of Liang.On this devastated land shrouded in bitterness, you can also see a few stable human fireworks. These are the cities occupied by Xuan Puritanism.

"Can you see the suffering of the people of the Liang Kingdom?" They all leaned on the railing, their cold voice rubbed in the high wind.You don't have to see it with your own eyes, you can tell from the bitterness that pervades the land, it's the bitterness piled up with countless lives that died in vain.

He didn't wait for an answer, and continued: "Before the catastrophe, Liang Guo was already like this."

These sufferings are not born because of the great calamity, Liang Guo was already in this muddled state before the great calamity occurred.People lived almost the same misery before the catastrophe as they did during the catastrophe.Before the catastrophe, Liang Guo was not completely in the hands of Liang Wang. Many cities had their own owners, such as Shezhou City, which became the territory of Luo Jiao.These places still belong to the King of Liang in name only, and if they want to pay a little tax every year, they don't have to talk to the King of Liang anymore.How to govern the city, the number of people, the size of the fields, the price of goods, who leads the army, where to attack, who to believe in, etc., these are all handled by themselves, and there is no need to ask the king of Liang for instructions.

In the big Liang Kingdom, the cities that are completely subordinate to the King of Liang are only two palms away. Some of the remaining places fall into the hands of the righteous practitioners, and the nearby people can still live a normal life, and some fall into the hands of evil cultivators. Well, they don't want to massacre the whole city, they kill chickens to get their eggs, people are still very useful, they have to be raised, like pigs, they don't need to know anything except their cubs, they will be fattened up and then killed for their meat.There are no so-called common people there, almost all of them are slaves, and a few obedient people are selected from them, and they are stuffed into official positions to manage slaves, and it is enough to give them a little power as a sweetener.

These forces restrain each other under the cooperation of the Disciplinary Department, and no one insists on swallowing Liang Guo——Liang Wangruo, other crooked sects are their enemies, and Crouching Tiger is right next to them. Will you focus on a bug at your feet?What if the tiger seizes the opportunity to bite off a piece of meat when you stretch out your foot to step on it if you want to kill the bug first?

Furthermore, Liang is not the only country in this world. What if their internal conflicts are endless, and what if other countries take the opportunity to attack?Where can they find such a Liang country that allows them to swagger and raise people like animals?

Duji stretched out his hand and pointed at Shezhou City: "A few days ago, Luojiao wanted to sacrifice blood to this city, but my people stopped him. It's not like they haven't done such a thing before the catastrophe." He pointed to Gannan, which is farther away City, "The people there were originally like hens in cages and mad dogs in pens, used to have children and fight each other. They were born as slaves, and they would only live in the way of slaves."

"The suffering of the Liang Kingdom does not lie in robbery, but in chaos."

These crooked and crooked practitioners in Liang Guozhong are different from the orthodox practitioners. They don't cultivate their minds and minds and only seek benefits. What ordinary people seek is power, wealth and sex. It is no different from ordinary people. They are not restrained, so they let their desires indulge freely. They reach out to get what they want, hit them if they can't get it, and calculate in other ways if they can't get it. In order to fight for their own interests Willing to do anything, changing orders day and night, only for self-interest.

The people controlled by these practitioners have no order at all, they don't know how to live, and they can only be attached to the monks, so they have to be like wild beasts, relying on instinct to kill and rob, or like animals, waiting to be killed Killed and captured.

Liang Guo needs an order, and with order, there will be guidance.Ordinary people don't have to worry all day long, they will know how to keep themselves alive, and will be punished for what they do, ambitious people will know how to get what they want, and those bottom lines will die if they are touched.

But in a situation like Liang Guo, if you want to promote an order, you must first deal with those guys whose hearts have been raised wild. It is useless for them to reason. Kill a group first with force to make the remaining people fearful, and if there is resistance, kill another group, and then pull or beat them to make them obey after the rest are clear-headed.

The order established by such means may not be good, but even a bad order is better than no order.

From then on, people no longer need to be attached to the life of a monk, no longer need to pray to the gods, and they can be self-sufficient if they follow the law.

They all looked at the audience, their eyes were bright and cold: "The world is in chaos, it's time to break it and then stand it up."

He wanted to push his order to the entire Liang Kingdom.

After seeing him last time, his anger was relieved, and he took revenge when he went back. After revenge, he naturally thought of another question: before revenge, he took this as his goal, after revenge, how should he live?

After meditating, he made a decision.

What Duji wants is not an ordinary order. Although he is forcing an order with a strong authority at this time, what he wants is an order that is stable enough and will not be easily broken by power. The order in which the world of ghosts and ghosts coexists on its own.

Now he is using the power of himself and Xuan Qingjiao to regulate Liang Guo, and in the future he will use Liang Guo's power to feed him back.Order is originally an invisible and untouchable nothingness, but when everyone believes in its operation, this invisible and intangible order has power, and the thoughts of mortals can be turned into incense power for Shinto monks to use , their belief in order can of course also be taken by him, the founder.

Ten years of life in the old ancestral hall and in order to continue Xu Kang's life made it difficult to make up for the loss of his physical foundation, but Liang Guo can stabilize his foundation, and the invisible belief of Liang Guo's people can make up for his loss.For this reason, the order he wanted to establish in Liang State was naturally as stable as possible.

He can't see through Li Quan, but this doesn't prevent him from thinking that Li Quan is a person who can befriend him, it's just that it's not time for him to entrust him with trust.

"Where does Brother Li want to go next?" Du Ji asked.

"It's not sure, maybe I will stay in Liang Guozhong for a while." Li Quan said.

"I'm in Liangdu, you can use this to find me." Duji pointed to the jade button in his hand.

They will descend to the terrace, and the fairy statues on the stage will be exposed in fairy posture, jade appearance and clothes fluttering.They all turned a blind eye to it, such a large piece of fine copper placed here exposed to the wind and sun, might as well be melted and smelted to make tools more useful.

Li Quan suddenly asked: "You don't believe in gods?"

"I don't believe it." Du said very coldly.

He also felt the movement of the resetting of the ridge before. It was a corner of the world's powerful beings. With the setting of the ridge, the inspiration stabilized, the calamity was reduced, and the power of all the leylines was nourished by it. Slowly grow, all living beings in the world All benefit from it.But so what?During the 12 years when the ridge was not fixed, didn't all sentient beings live like this?He will never pin his hopes on others, only what he holds in his hands is the strength he can rely on.

Li Quan smiled: "I don't believe it either." His half-closed eyes concealed a confusion.

If there really are omnipotent gods, how could the world become what it is now?
