Chapter 12 Confucian Shinto
After fighting with the two little ghosts, two flames spewed out of their hands, and the two little ghosts suddenly became all over and turned into ashes in a blink of an eye.
When he looked at it again, Liu Buyi suddenly realized that there was nothing wrong with the two little guys? They were clearly paper people cut out from white paper!
At this time, Liu Buyi didn't understand anything. He said to Zhenyangzi: "Master, even the two mountain ghosts under the demon god are so powerful, this demon god may be even more powerful. Let's not mess with it anymore, hurry up and leave!"
Before Mayoko could speak, the villagers who were secretly watching the fun in the distance were already shouting: "Master, you can't leave. Our Yunlai Village depends entirely on you..."
"Yes, Taoist priest, if you don't help us, our village will be over..."
This time, when these villagers saw that Mayoko was so powerful, they actually "expressed their power" to kill the "mountain ghost" under the mountain god, their confidence increased greatly. How could they let Mayoko go away? They begged one after another.
Zhenyangzi gave Liu Buji a shivering look, so he said, "This demon god looks even more powerful than he imagined!"
"Plop..."
The fellow villager suddenly knelt in front of Zhenyangzi: "Master, you must save us. This time I angered the demon god. If you leave again, we will all be in trouble!"
Then Mayoko deliberately acted reluctantly and said, "That's easy to deal with. Since you are here, let's help others to the end! Where is the mountain temple? Tomorrow morning, we will kill the demon god inside!"
"Thank you, Taoist priest, thank you, Taoist priest!" The villagers were overjoyed and looked at the eyes of the master and apprentice, and became more grateful.
After arranging the two of them to find a house to live in, Liu Buji asked whispered: "Master, did you arrange the matter here?"
Matsuko smiled mysteriously, but said, "Why are you so troublesome? Anyway, the demon god entrenched in the mountain temple is strong or weak, as long as I like it, there is only a way out. Why should I be so troublesome!"
Liu Buyi admired him and said secretly that when he returned to his room, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
Thinking of the first time in his life that he could see monsters or gods, such things that should have died long ago in his world, Liu was so excited that he could not do anything by himself.
He suddenly remembered that the original "Zhenyuan Li" passed down by Liu Buyi's family said: "All countries have large sacrifices, middle sacrifices, small sacrifices. God of Haotian, God of the Five Directions, Emperors of the Imperial Land, and the ancestral temples in Shenzhou are all large sacrifices..."
This is to use Confucianism to regulate the gods of heaven and earth! However, Confucianism has long declined and even collapsed, and the ideal order of gods of heaven and earth has never been established.
In this world, there are many gods. Not only are there masters of famous mountains and rivers, but they are also heroes, emperors, generals and ministers, and even those who are gods when they die.
Not to mention the extremely Western gods such as the Light and Zoroastrianism that have been brought to the Central Plains since the Tufa people entered the Central Plains.
The Shinto system established by Confucianism in the past has long been disintegrated.
"Shuowen Jiezi" says: Confucianism is called softness, and it is called a sorcerer. It also has the explanations needed by someone!
The earliest Confucian scholars were sorcerers, or wizards. They were clergymen who were responsible for handling funeral affairs and worshiping the gods of heaven and earth.
On earth, Confucianism introduced the concept of gentleman Confucianism, but before the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Confucianism still retained a lot of contents of the divine teachings. It was not until Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism emerged, and Confucianism was transformed again, and it became the atmosphere of later generations.
However, the world has developed differently, and the content of the sacrificial sacrifices is still retained. For example, the "Zhenyuan Li" inherited by the Liu family in Wuzhong was a criterion for the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, which was a principle that allowed the heaven, earth, ghosts, gods and people to settle in their own positions!
At that time, the ancestor of the Liu family, Duke Zhaoji, was one of the great scholars who took the lead in compiling the "Zhenyuan Li".
And, the private annotation was passed down and used as the family's learning.
Later generations of imperial courts compiled new rituals, and no matter how they increased or decreased, they actually did not exceed the scope of "Zhenyuan Li".
The Liu family in Wuzhong became one of the Confucian clans with the explanation of Zhao Jigong, who was born in the family "Zhenyuan Li".
However, with the invasion of the Tufa people, the Confucian ancestral temple was destroyed, and the order of heaven, earth, human, gods and ghosts established completely collapsed, and the Liu family fell like other Confucian families.
In a daze, I didn't know how long I had fallen asleep. Then I was called up by Mayoko and ate the breakfast that the villagers were so attentively entertained. Then I arrived at the back mountain, a deserted temple on the side of the mountain.
It can be seen that this temple has been repaired recently and looks quite clean. However, when you enter it, you feel cold. A statue of a god with green face and fangs is standing high on the incense table, as if you will jump off the incense table at any time and choose someone to eat it.
"Monster, your matter has been dealt with. Come on, please take your life!" Mayoko pointed at the sword and shouted.
The chill in the temple was even more intense, but there was no movement for a long time.
Matsuko smiled at Liu Buyi and said, "Originally, this guy is weaker than I thought. He doesn't dare to show off his body in broad daylight. It seems that he is slightly stronger than ordinary evil spirits!"
Liu Buyi was eager to try and asked, "Master, can I deal with this thing?"
But Mayoko shook her head: "You, it's still far from it. Unless you enter the realm of supernatural powers, you can't deal with such ghosts and gods!"
Liu Feiyi disagreed. When Confucianism was in its heyday, it controlled the power of the court. All ghosts and gods that did not enter the court's official sacrifice were called lewd sacrifices. The governments in various places were destroyed.
In his memory, the government had many means to destroy these lewd sacrifices. Whether it was smashing, setting fire, or even sprinkling filth directly, it was quite effective means.
But Mayoko didn't let him do it, and he became happy to watch the fun.
As Zhenyangzi said, he took out the Qingyang magic lamp in his hand. With a slight wave, the magic lamp lit up.
Originally, it was just a lamp like a bean, but the light was constantly extending and expanding. When it shone on the statue, a layer of light golden light offset, and then the light of the lamp shone through.
The entire statue suddenly became transparent, but at the core, there seemed to be a bottomless dark hole.
The light shone little by little, illuminating the dark and deep hole. You can see that it was just a small space, only the size of a few houses. There was actually an evil ghost full of hair squatting in it.
However, at this moment, the evil ghost could not see any evil image at all. Instead, he was very scared and kept hiding towards corners where the light could not shine.
