At dusk, when the cold air suddenly increased, a small boat was moving rapidly from south to north on the water.

On the boat, two men in Taoist clothes were all young, standing at the bow of the boat, both sides staring at the two sides.

Judging from the temperament of the two, although they are Taoist priests, they are definitely not ordinary people. These two monks with some Taoist rituals are not others, but Pingzhen Tongxuan, the Hidden Sect in Shu.

The real direction of Ping is the direction of Jishui County. Today's Jishui County is not yesterday. Not only has the number of people in the county increased by about twice, but there are also more villages and towns outside the county town.

Some of the residents of these villages and towns were refugees who fled from Dongyizhou and settled down here, and some of them were people who moved from Longjian some time ago.

When there are too many people, some problems will inevitably arise. Whether it is sacrifices or customs, the people who have moved here will inevitably have differences from the local people in a short period of time.

This difference is nothing to ordinary people, but it is a big deal to Wang Hongyi, a powerhouse in Shu.

The major affairs of the country are sacrifices and precepts.

But there are very different things in the true sacrifice and the lewd sacrifice.

The throne of all dynasties is usually a regular sacrifice, or the strong are kings, and they have received incense for a long time, or the ancient true gods, and most powerful people cannot be dismissed. This is an orthodox sacrifice among the people, and most of them are tolerated by those in power.

The lewd sacrifices that are not sacrificed by them are destroyed by those in power.

No one in power would care about the things that damage the fortune of the people and the court.

On that day, Wang Hongyi ordered Su'er to observe the ghosts and gods in the county, make a list, and leave it for later use.

Originally, Dongyizhou had been investigated, but Wang Hongyi quickly unified East and West Yizhou and recovered the Longjian area. The people in several places moved several times, and followed by a lot of complicated work.

Su'er immediately ordered Yinmen to cooperate, and Yinmen was very active in this matter.

This is a major event that clears the origin. Wang Hongyi has unified Shu at this time and is the legitimate king of Shu. Su'er and Yinmen who have entrusted the handling of this matter, if they can handle this matter, their authority will be spread throughout the ghost world in Shu. The fortune will soar. Yinmen will not refuse, and they will be together at one beat. Tong Xuanpingzhen's trip this time was to investigate the matter.

It was winter, and it was dusk and sunset, and the cold wind was biting, making people tremble all over.

But the river surface of Jishui River is still flowing, and there is no sign of ice. The faint white air continues to rise from the river surface. The clear river water has never frozen, but it is a little colder than the ice surface.

The two of them walked on the boat and rode on the wind. The Taoist robe was blown by the wind, giving a feeling of Taoist bones and fairy wind.

Because of their practice, the two of them did not feel cold in this weather.

The boat is getting closer and closer to Jishui County.

Just standing at the bow of the boat, the faint aroma of the food came faintly, and the smoke from the town in the distance was lightly twisted into several white lines against the backdrop of the clouds.

It was a good picture of the farmhouse at dusk, but it made the two look solemn.

"Junior brother, look at the direction of Jishui County in front, is it a bit strange?" Ping Zhen's eyes suddenly shook after scanning one direction, and then said.

"This place should not be too far from the Dragon Girl Temple, right? There are also lustful sacrifices? I really don't know if this god is brave or ignorant." Ping Zhen murmured, looking towards Jishui County, his face changed slightly.

"This spirit is probably going to become a climate."

What a person dies is a ghost. When ghosts become climates, they are the ghosts. At first, they can only protect one household at most.

The divine power shows redness and can protect a village and county. Only when the divine power is red and yellow can it be released from the county. Otherwise, it will be more than the standard and will damage the ***.

When the world is in chaos, those in power struggle frequently in the world and have no time to take care of themselves, many ghosts and gods hope to break through the constraints of "sacrificing without overwhelming hope" and go to other places to build temples.

For gods with low strength, expanding their faith on a large scale is equivalent to a lewd sacrifice.

The faint divine power that appeared in front of the two of them was red. The official sacrifice registered on the case was only one in Jishui County.

Before leaving the county level, he came here more and more, but he was unable to be recognized by the government. This is a lewd sacrifice!

Tongxuan frowned with a serious expression. He looked at the direction and said lightly: "This lewd sacrifice is the 33rd place found in Shu, but its strength is as strong as before. Since you have discovered the situation here, you can first turn around and discuss it."

Pingzhen nodded: "Just rely on senior brother."

The boat turned its bow and marched quickly, returning to Chengdu Prefecture.

At night, there was a tranquility in Chengdu Prefecture and Taoist temples.

A few ordinary gangsters patrolled outside the Taoist temple.

There is a piece of land outside the Taoist temple, with fruit trees and crops planted, and a river pond was dug, with some fish inside. Next to the river pond was a bungalow, which was the temporary residence of pilgrims built by the Taoist temple.

Therefore, the land is considered a place of upper land. Although the gods offered are new gods, they are very effective. There are many people who burn incense and donate silver. The Taoist temple is located in a remote area, and there are no inns around it. In order to solve the residence of pilgrims from afar, the Taoist temple built these houses and hired people to patrol the night, so that the night was peaceful.

Several gang members were looking for clever and decent men, who were strong and young and able to stay up late. At night, they were patrolling outside the Taoist temple. There were not many men in charge of the inspection and were of good quality.

Taoist temple back hall, in a room.

In a faint sandalwood, Ping Zhen sat cross-legged on the ground, and Tong Xuan sat next to him. In front of them, there was a small statue of the god, who looked like a Taoist.

"Senior brother, let me invite the real person to come!" Tong Xuan said to Ping Zhen beside him with a serious expression.

"Yi Senior Brother." Pingzhen nodded.

The two of them immediately used the secret method in the sect to invite the real person to come here.

Ping Zhen and Tong Xuan, after observing the situation of ghosts and gods in Shu, were not able to make decisions directly, so they simply invited the real person to come, ask for unknown things, or obey the instructions.

"Are you waiting to call me?" Soon a faint golden light shot out from the small statue opposite the two of them, threw it to the ground, and grew into a figure.

The figure is transformed from golden light, which is no different from the smallest person, but the face is a little blurred, and the sound is real, which is the real person.

"Ping Zhen (Tong Xuan), I have seen the real person!" Ping Zhen and Tong Xuan had already stood up quickly when the figure appeared. When they saw the real person asking questions, they hurriedly bowed and bowed.

"Ping Zhen, Tong Xuan?" The real person had some impression of these two people. Although he was not a direct disciple, he was also a junior in the inner sect with good cultivation.

"What's the matter with you two calling me late at night?" the real person asked faintly.

Because he was a fallen man, he was sacrificed by the people. On the real person, he had a faint golden light, his expression was indifferent, and his figure had never been deliberately raised, but gave the two people in front of him a sense of oppression and majesty.

"Zhengren, I am now instructed by the Duke of Shu to inspect the sacrifice temples in Shu. After a while, I will demolish or clean up many lewd sacrifices in Shu with the third wife. This matter is very important and is related to the great turmoil in the ghost world in Shu. I have just reported to the master, but the master is not very clear about some things, so I come to ask the real person." Tong Xuan said slowly.

"So that's it." Thinking of the panic atmosphere in the underworld that I had noticed before, the real person already understood the root cause.

"You two don't have to worry too much. There are not many Taoist temples in Shuzhong, and very few people participate in folk sacrifices. Some ghosts and gods in the underworld have a great roots from the Imperial Sect, but most of them are worshipped. As for the ignorant people, there is such a difficulty. Even if we are helpless, we don't have to take care of them."

"The Duke of Shu is very clear and is the lord of Shu. You must not have personal relationships with ghosts and gods, but hide or slack. Just report it truthfully and ignore other things."

The words of the real person made Ping Zhen and Tong Xuan look even more solemn after hearing this.

The two of them are real-person teachings.

"My junior brother and I will definitely not let down the teachings of real people. We will be cautious in this matter." Tong Xuan said.

The real person encouraged them again before they dispersed.

The royal palace, a palace, curtains, flags and flags are covered layer by layer.

The gentle woman lying flat on the collapse suddenly opened her eyes.

"I am worthy of being a real person. I have fallen and I still have the energy of being a powerful person in the past." Recalling the past, Su'er's face looked a little complicated.

Su'er once feared and hated the Hidden Sect, but with the experience of the world and the fall of the real person, Su'er had long extinguished her desire to avenge her, and her grudges with the real person had already been written off.

The existence that she feared in the past was just leaning into the position of a ghost immortal, which made her sigh.

The major events of the country are sacrifices and wars.

The key to the importance of sacrifice is faith and fortune. Orthodox dynasties must specify the list of sacrifices, sacrifices, rituals, and participants in the ceremony.

Legal sacrifices are called "principal sacrifices" or sacrificial rituals, and illegal people are denied "lewd sacrifices."

The court should support various priests from the central government to the local government, and also use political power to crack down on illegal priests through various means. The identification and control of priests from the regular priests is a very strict power relationship.

Su'er certainly didn't know that on earth, the "Tongdian" of the Tang Dynasty specially set up a "prosperity and abolition" article, which records the acts of various dynasties fighting against lewd sacrifices before the Tang Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty attached great importance to it. There were countless cases of the imperial court and local officials cracking down on lewd sacrifices. It was not difficult to find that the official policy of the Song Dynasty on the belief in the people's worship of gods was particularly positive.

The court had a strict system of gifting gods, and at the same time issued a large number of edicts and legal provisions to crack down on and suppress people's beliefs.

One of the government affairs of local officials is to manage and control the faith of each temple, or help local people apply for titles for local temple gods, or crack down on lewd sacrifices. The two coexist and remain in line with the entire Song Dynasty.

By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Gu Yanwu wrote "Rizhilu", which was a look at "banning the destruction of lewd temples", listing examples of the court and local officials cracking down on lewd sacrifices since the Han Dynasty.

In this world, the issue of lewd sacrifice is paid more attention to.

The attack on lewd sacrifices has almost always been a national policy adhered to by the courts of all dynasties, but it is not a blind attack. The role of the court is not to suppress temples outside the sacrificial rituals, but to find and recognize effective temples.

Simply put, it is also the responsibility of the court to discover that the gods who are qualified to serve as gods and recognize and grant enfeoffment.

What Wang Hongyi did was just to inherit the national policies of the previous kings and systematically them.

However, this difference leads to completely different authority. Su'er is happy in her heart. Through these, she will gain huge authority and space for growth.
