This time, at the beginning of Qin Dynasty, there were five to six thousand evil spirit ghosts and various ghost cultivators who were admitted to the Haotian Golden Tower. Most of the ghosts who were driven by the ghost king Tonglong to arrange the soul-eating array of ten thousand ghosts could not escape.
After this battle, the ghost king Tong Long was completely and completely damaged. It can be said that he lost his wife and lost his troops. However, Qin Zhichu had no intention of letting the Ghost King Tong Long go.
The power of incense is the foundation of Qin Zhichu's cultivation. The power of incense comes from believers. It is logical that the number and type of believers will determine the level of achievements Qin Zhichu can achieve in the future.
Qin Zhichu has no way in or out of the real ghosts for the time being. The only place where he can conquer ghost believers on a large scale is in this small world similar to ghosts. The ghost cultivators here, including the ghost king Tonglong, have no influence on the current situation. As far as he is concerned, they are all relatively weak, and he just wants to keep them all in order to increase the number of ghost followers under his command.
How big is this small world, how many ghosts are there, where do they usually stay, especially where the ghost king Tonglong may be hiding. Qin Zhichu didn't even know about these problems. However, these questions could not trouble him at all. He entered the Haotian Golden Palace and summoned the ghost king Tong Long's clone. He also summoned several ghost cultivators with relatively high cultivation levels to question them.
In a short time, Qin Zhichu got the information he wanted to know.
According to the clone of Ghost King Tonglong, this small world was not born, and Ghost King Tonglong was not the first person in this small world from the beginning. A long time ago, among the ghosts, there was a ghost cultivator who relied on his strength and challenged the dignity of a certain ghost master. As a result, the ghost master punished him severely.
Afterwards, the ghost master used his magic power to divide the ghost into a very small part, forming a small and independent world. Then the ghost master took out the ghost cultivator and his followers who dared to challenge him. Expelled to this small world.
That Ghost Lord didn¡¯t do this out of mercy. Rather, he wanted the ghost cultivator who challenged him to be unable to live or die, and taste the feeling of slowly waiting to die in despair.
Later, the years passed by. The ghost cultivator died in anger and depression. After his death, his essence returned to heaven and earth. Only then did some changes slowly take place in this small world that had just been created and had a harsh environment where it was difficult to survive.
The appearance of Ghost King Tong Long happened thousands of years after the ghost cultivator died. The ghost king Tonglong also grew up step by step from an ordinary evil ghost. Of course, he was not willing to be trapped in this small world where it was difficult to make a big difference, and he worked hard to escape.
Qin Zhichu is not the first cultivator to be targeted by the Ghost King Tong Long. At the beginning, the Ghost King Tonglong succeeded several times and swallowed the essence and blood of many Buddhist disciples. Unexpectedly, the disappearance of these Buddhist disciples alarmed a great power of the Buddha - Fohai.
Master Fohai used his peerless magical power to completely seal this small world. If Qin Zhichu had not unintentionally lifted the seal of Master Fohai, the ghost king Tonglong might have followed the same path of depression.
? ? **The size of the small world cannot be said to be large. But it's not too small, about the size of a medium-sized county in Dazhou. Not all places here are suitable for ghost cultivators to practice, but some places are suitable for them. It can be regarded as a Jedi.
Qin Zhichu found the nearest ghost cultivator gathering area according to the instructions given by the clone of Ghost King Tong Long. As expected, there are thousands of ghost cultivators here, as well as some relatively low-level ghosts of wronged souls.
"When those ghost cultivators saw Qin Zhichu, they were like mice seeing a cat. They all secretly hated their parents for having two legs, and scurried away as fast as possible with their heads in their hands.
If so many ghost cultivators could put aside their scruples, unite and fight Qin Zhichu, they might not be able to cause big trouble for Qin Zhichu. But they collapsed at the first touch. It would be much easier for Qin Zhichu to deal with them.
At the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, his fingers were flying, his pen moved like a dragon and snake in the air, and in the blink of an eye, he wrote a huge Buddhist character "ding". A breath of true energy was sprayed on it, and the Buddhist inscriptions shone with golden light. Emit thousands of rays of light.
Any ghost cultivator who is hit by the fixed Buddha's light will immediately become unable to move and become frozen in the air. More than half of the thousands of ghost cultivators were immobilized at once. As for those weak ghosts, none of them escaped.
Qin Zhichu jumped onto the Wanli Sword, pinched the spirit secret, and the Wanli Sword carried him to the middle of the fleeing ghost cultivators. He once again wrote the Buddhist character "ding" and trapped the remaining ghost cultivators. Quite a few.
Qin Zhichu waved his robe sleeves, and a strong wind flew out from his robe sleeves, rolling up all the ghost cultivators and ghosts who had been immobilized by him, and sent them to the Haotian Golden Palace. Some of the ghost believers who had been ordered to do so swarmed forward and without any explanation, stuffed the elixir that Qin Zhichu had given them into their mouths.
Then, Qin Zhichu flew to Xiamen againThis is a place where ghosts gather. This time he learned from the experience of the previous time and increased the power of the first Buddhist word "ding". Almost all the ghost cultivators and wronged souls in this settlement were killed almost at once. Settled.
Qin Zhichu became more and more proficient at it, and it only took him a day or so to search this small world that resembled a ghost. But no matter how he searched, he could not find the whereabouts of the Ghost King Tong Long.
After this raid, the number of ghost believers under Qin Zhichu's command reached more than 20,000. If you include those innocent ghosts who could not contribute much incense, the number could exceed 100,000.
Ghost King Tong Long is undoubtedly the most powerful one among them. If he can turn Ghost King Tong Long into his disciple, it will undoubtedly be of greatest help to Qin Zhichu, but Qin Zhichu does not have time to stay in this world. With so many ghost believers in the small world, the power of incense produced by them should be enough for Qin Zhichu's current needs.
Qin Zhichu thought about it and decided to let the Ghost King Tonglong go for the time being. When he finds time later, he will search this little world again. Tonglong was dug out.
Qin Zhichu came out of the small world smoothly. He first entered the Haotian Golden Tower to check. There were too many ghosts collected this time. The pills he refined in advance were seriously insufficient. If it weren't for the Haotian Golden Tower, It has an obvious restraining effect on these ghosts, and some ghosts have become his devout believers. It is not an easy task to manage so many ghosts. If they didn't make the inside of Haotian Golden Tower a mess, he would be burning incense.
Qin Zhichu immediately started refining the elixir without saying a word. He refined it almost without sleep for three days. After making dozens of furnaces of elixirs, this time he gave one to each ghost. By the time they swallowed the elixirs, Qin Zhichu officially had more than 20,000 ghost cultivators and nearly 80,000 ghosts of wronged souls under his command. A group of ghost believers.
Haotian Golden Tower directly bound them all to an inner wall. They each returned with pious expressions facing the golden body with a clay body. Wisps of incense power emerged from their bodies and merged into a corner above the golden body with a clay body.
At this time, the number of human believers has reached a new level, and the number of immortality tablets they have erected has exceeded 1.5 million.
At the same time, under the auspices of the Holy Lord of the Monster Clan, various means such as coercion, inducement, and distribution of pills were used. On the fleet that returned to the Yaozu continent with him, it was almost impossible to find any Yaozu who were not followers of Qin Zhichu.
Every moment, countless incense powers are generated from the believers of the human race, demon race and ghost race. They gather in the sky above the clay-embroidered golden body and continue to spread towards the surroundings. The distance between the three incense powers that were originally very separate is increasing, and there is a possibility of contact with each other at any time.
The three scriptures obtained at the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, the Qiong Shang Haotian Sutra, the Qiong Shang Dan Sutra and the Qiong Shang Heart Sutra, did not describe much about the power of incense, and it is not known that the original owner of the Haotian Golden Tower forgot it. Or Haotian Golden Tower was lost the last time it suffered a catastrophe.
Regarding the power of incense, Qin Zhichu could only slowly explore and discover it through his own practice.
He looked at the power of incense gathered in the Haotian Golden Palace. He felt that after waiting for another two or three days, there might be enough power from the incense of the three tribes to support him in trying to refine the Thunder Stone.
Qin Zhichu decided to rest for a day or two to adjust his mental state before officially starting to refine the thunder stone. He came out of Haotian Golden Palace and went to greet his parents first. After spending a long time talking with them, he got up and walked around the Imperial Master's Mansion, chatting with Yan Ning, Xi Yisong, Gong Xiuzhen, Guan Zhiwen and others. chat.
Except for Yan Ning, those who followed Qin Zhichu a few years ago are not very talented in cultivation. What they can achieve in the future will not be too high. However, Qin Zhichu still trusted and relied on them. Their loyalty and ability to do things were unquestionable. If necessary, Qin Zhichu would not mind spending a huge price to forcibly improve their cultivation realm and prolong their life. of longevity.
As for the longevity pill. Qin Zhichu would not reveal himself again unless absolutely necessary.
Yan Ning's situation is not bad, but he is not a particularly outstanding cultivation talent. On the contrary, he shows an above-average level in the art of alchemy. Qin Zhichu gave him some good guidance and compiled some alchemy techniques for him, hoping that he would avoid some detours in his alchemy practice.
Qin Zhichu also specially sent a communication talisman to Monk Qingyuan and Taoist Priest Xiaoyun, asking them to come to the Imperial Master's Mansion more often when they had time to give Yan Ning some guidance.
At the beginning of Qin Dynasty, he went to see Princess Zhiping, Pan Bingbing and Yu Meihui, and found that the three women were in retreat, and they had a strong attitude of never leaving the retreat until they broke through.
Qin Zhichu did not bother them. Like ordinary people, he also hoped that his Taoist companion could achieve a breakthrough as soon as possible. After all, the increase in cultivation level not only means an increase in strength, but also represents longevity. The longer it is, the longer they can stay together.
At the beginning of Qin Dynasty, he made a special trip to the palace to pay homage to Emperor Tianming, the Queen Mother and the Empress. After coming out of the palace, the prince personally waited outside the palace gate. The prince warmly invited Qin Zhichu to be a guest at the prince's residence.
Qin Zhichu did not refuse and went to the Prince's Mansion to sit down. The current prince is more knowledgeable than the former prince. He does not regard Qin Zhichu as a threat, but as a supporter who can be relied on. Under his flattery, Qin Zhichu had a pleasant conversation with him.
On a whim, Qin Zhichu took out a bottle of elixir and gave it to the prince. This is a bottle of panacea that can cure most of the diseases of ordinary people. With it, the prince and his family can save several lives.
The prince was overjoyed and thanked Qin Zhichu repeatedly. He also made it clear that he firmly supported Emperor Tianming's wise decision to establish Qin Gongjiao as the state religion, and firmly believed that with Qin Chu as the national teacher of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the well-being of the people, and the prosperity and strength of the country are just around the corner. .
The prince¡¯s words are not nonsense. During these days, with Qin Gong¡¯s ancestral temples springing up like bamboo shoots after rain, the people of Da Zhou were living much better than before.
The cultivators sent by the Imperial Prefecture to guard the Qin Gong Temple in various states and counties. But there is no awareness not to interfere or interfere in local government affairs. They are happy to do anything that can strengthen the local people's belief in the national master.
Whenever there are unjust, false or wrongful convictions, bullying of the market, bullying of men and women, exorbitant taxes, etc., the cultivators of the Guogong Temple will actively intervene, and the people who have benefited will naturally have deep faith in Qin Gongjiao. I am happy to become a believer of Qin Gongjiao and dedicate the power of their incense.
Rich businessmen and officials in various places have suffered a lot of suppression, but their numbers cannot be compared with ordinary people. The power of incense is only related to the level of personal cultivation, their status, wealth, power, etc. , it has nothing to do with it.
From the beginning, Qin Zhichu ordered not to favor them and to act impartially.
certainly. At the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, local officials who abide by the law and fulfill their duties, as well as local gentry who benefited the countryside, would also be treated differently. The cultivators at the local Guogong Temple would actively help them build roads and bridges, and renovate farmland. Water conservancy facilities, increase their political achievements, and occasionally give them elixirs.
Among those cultivators assigned to various places by the Imperial Prefecture. It cannot be said that there are absolutely no people who practice favoritism and seek selfish gains, but they are very rare. At the beginning of Qin Dynasty, he could keep track of the increase or decrease in the number of immortal tablets in various places in real time, and he could also listen to the voice of every believer. Wherever there is a problem with the cultivators guarding Qin Gong Temple, he will know immediately.
Qin Zhichu would never be lenient to these people, and the punishment measures formulated were extremely harsh, which made people's livers hurt just listening to them, let alone experiencing them personally. Similarly, Qin Zhichu was not stingy with rewards for their conscientious cultivators. Crystals, elixirs, and even spiritual weapons, magic weapons, etc. were distributed at a low price.
It is precisely because there is a complete set of measures. Coupled with the diligent pursuit of the power of incense at the beginning of Qin, the people of Zhou ushered in the best time in history.
It is nonsense to say that the prince has no opinion on the growing influence of Guogong Temple across the country. However, the prince is a smart man. Qin Zhichu did not take measures to threaten the imperial power. On the contrary, he was an active supporter of the imperial power.
Just like the cultivators who protect Guogong temples across the country. Their method of intervention is to follow up on various local injustices. When the conflicts intensify to a certain level, they will reveal their identity and prevent the government and gentry from infringing on the people. At the same time, they will write a letter and send it to them quickly. Go to the capital and ask the emperor or the cabinet to send someone to investigate.
In this way, neither the power of the emperor nor the power of the government has been weakened. At least the imperial power and central power have not been touched.
??Also, if there is a natural disaster all over the country, the Imperial Preceptor's Office will actively cooperate and help the court to provide disaster relief. I don't know how much trouble it will save the court.
The prince also wanted to understand that some people seek fame and some seek profit. What Qin Zhichu pursues is not the same thing as what he pursues.
By the time he ascends the throne as emperor, most of the officials across the country may be upright. The government will be harmonious, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and the court will be prosperous. This will be an eternal event. As an emperor, he may not have to spend too much energy. If he manages the country well, he will have plenty of time to do what he wants to do, so why not?
What¡¯s more, the precedent of the former princeRight before his eyes, although there is no evidence that the death of the former prince is directly related to Qin Zhichu, the prince would rather believe that it is true than that it is not true. He didn't want to die in confusion. He finally had the hope of becoming emperor, but he didn't want to enjoy the majesty of the Nine-Fifth Emperor before he could follow in the footsteps of the previous prince.
In the Prince's Mansion, Qin Zhichu and the Prince had a great time. When Qin Zhichu was leaving, the prince gritted his teeth and called out his eldest son, who had just turned three years old. He asked his eldest son to kneel down in front of Qin Zhichu.
"National Master, I don't have the wisdom to cultivate immortality and become a Buddha. I can't stay by your side and listen to your teachings day and night. This is Gu's eldest son and the only son of Gu and the Crown Princess so far. The imperial sister said that he has spiritual roots. If you practice, you may achieve some achievements. After Gu Zuo thought about it, he wanted to trouble the national master. Can you accept him as a disciple and let him serve as Gu Zuo's assistant?"
According to the patriarchal laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the eldest son born to him and the crown princess will be the crown prince of the prince's palace. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the emperor of the next generation. The prince actually risked his life and sent his eldest son to Qin Zhichu's side. This was a huge investment.
The three-year-old child didn't understand anything yet, but he still followed the prince's order and knelt in front of Qin Zhichu. His big black eyes looked at Qin Zhichu with a hint of fear and curiosity.
Qin Zhichu touched the prince's head. He could guess the prince's thoughts. "Prince, my master will not accept the prince as his disciple. Let's do this. I will take him away and hand him over to Zhenshui Zhenren." Come and train him, if Zhenshui Zhenren feels that the prince is destined to be with him, my master will ask Zhenshui Zhenren to accept him as his disciple. What do you think?"
The prince knows who Zhenshui Zhenren is. In the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was the first person to condense the Nascent Soul in the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, it is no exaggeration to say that, except for the beginning of Qin, he is Master Ji Shui is amazing. It is definitely the prince's blessing to be able to worship Zhenshui Zhenren. (To be continued)
