    "Susu," Chang Jin replied seriously, "I am an ordinary Confucian student. By chance, I embarked on the path of spiritual practice, and then became a god and ascended to the position of City God of Wanshan Prefecture. But my original intention of being a Confucian has never changed! I have never changed!  I have heard someone mention that Confucian scholars have four responsibilities: "To establish a mind for heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the people, to carry on the unique knowledge for the past saints, and to create peace for all generations." I can't do it now, but I can't do it for the sake of the people.  You can still do it! "I am willing to bear the punishment of humanity!" At the end of his speech, Chang Jin's face turned completely resolute.  Although he cultivated Taoism and became a god, he still had the responsibility of Confucianism in his bones.  As the words came out of his mouth, an indescribable momentum naturally emanated.  In a trance, Chang Jin seemed to sense that there was something extra in his body, but his spiritual consciousness scanned it, and there was nothing abnormal.  "Count me in" Feeling her husband's awe-inspiring demeanor, Bai Susu stepped forward and held his hand tightly.  Such a husband is what one can rely on.  "I feel that things are not that simple. There are still a few days before the River God gets married. Let's go to the River God Temple to investigate first." Chang Jin said again.  The river god has been wreaking havoc here for more than 20 years. It cannot be protected by the secular government. In all likelihood, Qinghua Prefecture Taoist Academy also intervened.  Xisha River is only more than three miles away from the county seat. It is more than ten feet wide at its narrowest point. There is a raised hillock along the river bank. The River God Temple was built on this hillock.  When Chang and Jin arrived outside the Heshen Temple, they saw from a distance that there were still scattered people burning incense here.  This situation surprised them.  But when I think about the responsibilities of the River God, I understand a little bit.  The River God is a water spirit who controls the hundreds of miles of water in the Xisha River. The production and life of the people on both sides of the river are affected by it.  Once the opponent is angered, the river god will stir up trouble and the consequences will be disastrous.  Therefore, even if people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait feel resentful, they have to pay homage to pray for good weather.  However, there is resentment in my heart. Such worship will not increase the power of the river god's incense. On the contrary, there will be a trace of evil and resentment attached to it.  Chang Jin could see from a distance that evil spirits accounted for 40% of the luck above the Heshen Temple, which was equivalent to the luck of the officials above the county seat.  With such luck, the River God is only one step away from falling from his position as a god.  Even if he were to be killed now, there would be no humane backlash.  Let¡¯s let the other party live for a few days until we find out the situation.  Thinking in his mind, Chang Jin took a trace of incense and put it into the divine seal to evolve.  Fortunately, no traces of the foreign evil gods' influence were found, nor was there any imperial seal left by Qinghua Prefecture's Cunzhen Dao.  This is even more strange. As far as he knows, the certificate for the Taoist conferment of gods is Qingzhang.  The Fourteenth Prefecture Taoist Temple promotes evil sacrifices, obscenity, and prostitution. All gods who have not been granted the title of Qingzhang are regarded as evil gods in the eyes of the Taoist Temple.  Every few years, the Taoist temple will send its disciples to travel around to rule the world and clean up evil sacrifices and obscenities.  According to the standards of the Taoist temple, the river god here is also a target of cleanup.  Why is it that twenty years later, the Xishahe River God is still on the throne?  Chang Jin didn¡¯t know whether it was to support the thieves for self-respect or for other purposes, but the more this happened, the more he felt that there was a Taoist conspiracy involved.  Returning to the city, the two found an inn, asked for a room, and then stayed in the room to rest.  Until nightfall, the entire county gradually fell into darkness.  Chang Jin and Bai Susu floated out and ran towards the county government office.  The county is deserted during the day, but at night there are only a few scattered lights on the streets, making it even more eerie.  Although it was his first time here, Chang Jin's consciousness was slightly heightened and he had already found the Shayang County government office.  The air flow on it winds up to form a large seal, guarding the entire county government office.  However, the large seal was swaying in the air, almost out of shape.  As they walked closer, the two of them didn't feel any pressure at all.  When the two of them passed through the high wall, the big seal finally sensed it and fell with a crash.  But that¡¯s all, the human order in Shayang County has collapsed, and the secular destiny has been greatly weakened.  Bai Susu's figure swayed slightly, arousing the spiritual energy in her body, which had blocked the pressure of the big seal.  As for Chang Jin, he seemed to be unaware of it. He was in it and his soul didn't even waver.  At this moment, the county government office was also dark, with only a light on somewhere in the backyard.  Chang Jin nodded to Bai Susu and ran following the light.  But just after walking four or five feet, he suddenly stopped, with a suspicious look on his face, and whispered: "Be careful, the thing is right." "What's wrong?" Bai Susu immediately concentrated on sensing and did not notice anything unusual around him.  .  "There are some lucky officials in this county government, right there." Chang Jin pointed to the light.  From a distance of more than ten feet, he could still clearly sense a stream of red-green energy that was more than three feet high, as thick as an arm, and straight.Standing up like a sharp sword.  There is also a seal floating in it, showing that the other party is an official.  ¡°It¡¯s a bit weird to find a Qi Lun official in a county where humanity is on the verge of collapse.  After pondering for a while, he still whispered: "Let's go over and take a look." Standing outside the door, his consciousness moved slightly, and everything in the house appeared clearly.  I saw a middle-aged man in his thirties sitting in front of the desk. This man was wearing a scarf and a wide-sleeved robe. He looked handsome and showed some solemnity and majesty in his movements.  The other person in the room was an old man with a clear face. The other person stood at the table and said softly: "Master, it's getting late. Go to bed early. We have to patrol the county tomorrow." "Mr. Guo, you go down and rest first, I will  Read some more books." The middle-aged man shook his head and replied.  The old man stared at the other person, he hesitated to speak several times.  After a while, the middle-aged man raised his head again and asked, "Sir, what do you want to say?" "Sir, please think twice about killing the river god." The old man finally said.  "What, sir, do you want to stop this county from doing this?" the middle-aged man asked calmly.  "Master, marrying a wife for the river god is not as simple as you think. I have been secretly inquiring in the county these days. This matter has become a common practice in Shayang County. Temple Zhu, subordinate officials below, and elders from nearby villages  All these people are involved. The master has only been in office for less than two months and it is not easy to make too many enemies. If they knew that he was planning to deal with the river god, they would probably stop him and even secretly do something against him." Master Guo advised again.  This middle-aged man is Liang Zongxian, the newly appointed magistrate of Shayang County In just a few words, Chang Jin already knew that his previous guess was wrong.  It turned out that this man also hated the river god's marriage and planned to take the opportunity to kill him.  As for the notice he saw at the city gate during the day, it should be his move to confuse everyone.  "Humph, I am Mr. Guiya's student. I once suppressed the rebellion of the vassal king with my husband, and I have never seen anything like this. Now I am just a clown. If you have the means, just use it. This county magistrate is still afraid." Liang Zongxian said.  When it comes out of the mouth, the air on the top of its head adds a bit of pride.  It turned out that he was a student of Mr. Guaiya. Chang Jin recalled that when he had not ascended to the throne a few years ago, he was confused and wondered how to go in the future. Hearing that Mr. Guaiya was passing by Fengshanyi, he immediately came to ask for advice. He happened to see him standing there.  Shu Li said.  There is one sentence that Chang Jin still remembers clearly to this day: "Confucians follow the original heart, the heart is the principle, and the Tao is in the heart."  Chang Jin admired this statement very much, but did not fully agree.  In his opinion, this theory still has flaws. It does not look beyond Confucianism and cannot completely solve the problems encountered by secular humanity.  So when Mr. Guiya wanted to accept Chang Jin as his disciple, he refused outright.  Liang Zongxian didn¡¯t know how much knowledge Mr. Guaiya had, but his courage and pride were very similar to Mr. Guaiya.  While he was thinking about it, he heard the old man's advice: "Sir, even if you are not afraid of the mischief of those subordinate officials and old people, you must also consider the ability of the River God. How can this God occupy the position of the River God for twenty years without falling?  It's easy to kill. Now that the Taoist Temple is unwilling to intervene, how can it be possible to defeat the River God with mere secular power?  The county magistrate has his own way of dealing with this." Liang Zongxian said with a smile: "In the past, when I was studying with my husband, I heard him talk about Shinto. This spirit seems to be extremely powerful, but in fact all its magical powers come from the incense given by secular believers.  . Its foundation is still based on secular humanity. As long as I order the people to offer incense to the river god, I will be able to destroy the foundation of the county magistrate.  Worshiping the River God?" After hearing this, the old man's face changed drastically and he said urgently: "Absolutely not!" "Why not? I have decided to make a derogatory memorial to the River God when he marries his wife, and list the ten sins of the River God.  , denounced him as an evil sacrifice and banned the people from worshiping him. If he used these tricks together, he would be able to induce a backlash from humanity and knock the river god off the altar. " "Master, if the river god has not fallen off the altar,  What if I come to the county government to seek revenge?" Master asked again.  "If you dare to come to the county government office to seek revenge, I will have to stop it with my own body. Let's see if it dares to kill the county magistrate." At the end, Liang Zongxian said with awe in his words.  As soon as he finished speaking, Chang Jin felt a sudden surge of luck above Liang Zongxian's head, and the big seal was flying up and down.  This is the reason why Liang Zongxian died to clarify his ambition, gain inspiration from humanity, and gain great fortune.  It seems that Liang Zongxian had already considered the consequences clearly when he made the strategy.  In order to kill the river god, he would rather sacrifice his own life and let humanity bite him back.  Having this realization, it seems that Liang Zongxian has obtained the true inheritance of Mr. Guiya.  Chang Jin doesn¡¯t want to eavesdrop anymoreGo, nodded to Bai Susu, and whispered outside the window: "Ququ is a river god, why should Magistrate Liang pay for his life." "Who?" Hearing the sound from outside, the two people in the house were shocked.  Liang Zongxian reacted in the next moment. He pulled out the sword hanging on the wall with a "chang", and jumped out with a big stride, which was quite heroic and courageous.  But when he stood in the courtyard and saw two scholars outside the window, he was slightly startled: "Who are you, and why did you break into the county government office at night?" "Don't be surprised, Magistrate Liang. We heard about Sha Yang in the city during the day.  The new magistrate of the county was a faint-hearted official. He actually posted a notice ordering the people under his rule to donate money to buy a bride for the river god. He was very angry and wanted to come to the county government office to find out what happened. I just heard the conversation between Mr. Liang and the master.  We made a mistake." Chang Jin took a step forward and bowed his hands to explain.
