Chapter 1229 The storm is coming
From June, an imperial edict was issued in the palace. Some monks and Taoists who were in evil ways used the name of the Green Lake Water God to deceive the people into offering sacrifices, and established a sect to preach. In fact, it was done by evil gods. The evil gods would be deceived and harm people's good deeds. People were not allowed to worship privately. Once discovered, they were punished and punished and performed labor service. If anyone reported to the yamen who offered sacrifices, they would be rewarded with 10 taels of silver.
This move caused shock to the entire Jiangnan, and the people naturally disbelief, especially Yuhang, who was obviously a god who blessed the people, so why did he become an evil god?
However, the Taicheng Zhenren of Jinhua Temple and Master Huiquan of the Jade Buddha Temple all went to Jiangnan to preach, and punished evil spirits to defend the way, and proved that the Green Lake Water God gave birth to evil spirits and worshipping evil spirits is tantamount to serving evil spirits with his body, and there is no good life.
To punish evil is naturally to suppress those monks and Taoists who offer to establish water gods. If one goes to the dark path, all of them will be abolished and arrested, and those who are stubborn who resist the death will be liberated on the spot.
Yes, those who have joined the evil gods cannot bring back the right path. They are either abandoned or died, and suppress them with thunder.
The two high-level monks who joined the ranks of the evil and defending the Tao were the leaders, but there were many fellow Taoists following them, including those who were still young, such as the young master of the Qingping Guan family in Licheng, who had just been rewarded with many precious scriptures and magic weapons by the new emperor, and the Taoist Master Xuanyi Xiao.
He is a great disciple of Wuxu Zhenren. He is talented and intelligent. He has entered the Tao for less than ten years, but he has shown amazing talent. As Taicheng Zhenren said, like his master, he was born with a Taoist seed and had a full understanding of the five techniques of Xuanmen.
He is indifferent and decisive in his behavior. When fighting with others, he can use one move, but no two moves. The talismans that others save on are spreading as if they don’t have money to him. Why do you say that?
Because when encountering that cunning and difficult evil path, he would set up a formation while fighting, then trap people inside, sprinkle a few five-thunder talismans, and make a big five-thunder thunder thunder, making nowhere to escape.
This smart move inevitably makes people feel that Qingpingguan has a rich family background.
The key is that the five thunder talismans are as precious as scattering, and the magic weapons they take out are all treasures that can be placed in the shelf. However, the kind he passed down from generation to generation, he took them out and killed them, like playing kitchen knives.
I heard that most of the magic weapons used by this Taoist priest were tailored for him by his master. I wonder if he would still accept disciples?
They also want such a arrogant master.
Even if the master doesn’t accept it, this Taoist priest will still inherit the master’s disciples. I wonder if they are qualified?
As for practicing Taoism, wherever you go, it is not about practicing. The ancestors of Qingping Temple are also major sects. They just want to pass on the authentic heritage, not because they have a deep foundation.
"Zhaozhao, do you feel like a thorn in the throat?" Little Ginseng poked Teng Zhao, thrust his mouth, and said, "Look at those people, the look of your eyes is like fat, and you want to swallow you in one bite."
Teng Zhao looked in his direction and said, "The word "Like the throat" is not used like this, it should be "Like the ghost". On weekdays, you can't just have fun, you have to read more books."
Little Ginseng choked: "Are you mocking me for being illiterate?"
"I'm afraid you will be a joke and embarrassing." Teng Zhao said lightly: "Reading can be wise and wise, and there will be good or bad."
Little ginseng whispered: "Which ginseng in the world wants to read?"
"How many ginseng can be used as humans?" Teng Zhao retorted.
Little Ginseng: Yes, yes, you are right!
He glanced at the person opposite and said, "Let's go. If you don't leave, I see they want to come up and recognize their father!"
Teng Zhao nodded. He also had to kill more evil ways so that he could grow up quickly. Only by understanding his shortcomings from the battle can he improve.
"I don't know what the big devil Xixi is doing now. I always feel like a storm is coming." The little man looked at the scorching sun and sighed.
Teng Zhao pursed his lips slightly and said, "Just do what we should do."
“That’s right.”
One person and one sect said goodbye to other fellow Taoists, and went to the next place to kill the evil and defend the way.
As the days passed day by day, the situation in Jiangnan was very tense due to an evil-killing operation. The court intervened in this defense operation with a strong attitude, which brought a major reshuffle to the Jiangnan official system. It took the opportunity to copy several old families and officials who were entrenched like giant tigers and the mixed forces below them, which made the treasury fill up, and the new emperor's regime also gathered a little.
Some people inevitably wonder if the treasury is crazy, so the saint deliberately created such a powerful saying in the way of killing evil spirits and eliminating demons. In fact, it was to give the hardest old officialdom in Jiangnan to save some money for the treasury. The system in Jiangnan was replaced with officials they trusted to consolidate the imperial power.
If this is the case, the saint is young and his mind is a little unpredictable.
Qi Qian: I really just want to kill evil and eliminate evil ways!
But he didn't expect such an effect. Just as Feng Xiu said, killing a few difficult things, pulling down a wave of thorns, and filling the treasury. He would not be afraid when he saw Mr. Qian, for fear that he would ask for money from him.
However, although I can take a breath, it is far from enough. There are still many places to use money.
In the blink of an eye, September was coming. With the cooperation of the court and monks and Taoists, fewer people worshiping the water gods gradually became less and more statues were burned down. Even the temple in Green Lake was pushed down. At least on the surface, they dared not worship it, otherwise the whole family would have to finish it once someone reported it.
Especially those village gangsters, who are specializing in this area. After all, they can get rewards as soon as they report. Isn’t this better than cheating?
Of course, there are also people who deliberately made this thing to cheat the rewards, but the yamen that handled the matter was not vegetarian. Once it was found out, it would be more severe than the punishment for worshipping the evil gods, so they would not dare to test it.
The methods are tough enough, and even if the people are resentful, they dare not really fight with the government office. If someone does this, they will be pulled out to be a typical example by the government office. If they were not controlled by the evil spirits, how could they be so crazy?
Of course, everything has its pros and cons. Doing so will not help the people's favoritism towards the new emperor. They think that he is too powerful and inhumane, and even the offerings to God must be used and intervened, which is too arbitrary.
These voices were fed back to Qi Qian, and he was disdainful. His reputation was nothing. As long as he could manage this mess, he could be more arbitrary.
Moreover, the common people do not know the dangers, don’t he know?
As long as he is worthy of Qin Liuxi's entrustment, worthy of the people, and has a clear conscience.
The same keen high-ranking officials and important officials praised the new emperor quite well. They were not afraid of the emperor being not smart, but most afraid of rotten wood being carved. The emperor was decisive and did not drag his back. He had strong execution ability, so they could lead the boat away, right?
