Chapter 599: Chu Xian's Decree
The trial of the Black Bird God went very smoothly, and Chu Xian also got what he wanted.
Although some believers of the Black Bird God objected, and even knelt on the spot on the spot, Chu Xian still insisted on this kind of interrogation, and in this way, he really dug up some evil things that the Black Bird God had done.
Just the human life lawsuit, this blackbird god has carried a lot, and even the other party once competed with another god for believers, deliberately spreading diseases, although in the end it was won, but hundreds of people died because of it.
And he, the prestige rose again.
This guilt alone is enough to kill a hundred times.
Therefore, in front of thousands of people, in the name of the officials of the Holy Dynasty, Chu Xian sentenced the Black Bird God to death and killed him on the spot.
Naturally, this caused a huge shock, with Chu Xian's cultivation, as well as local officials and soldiers, they were not afraid of any incident, but obviously, the number of people who made trouble in the end was not as much as the number of people who shouted injustice at the beginning.
It's a good start.
As for the gods like the White Lady, they really belong to the good category, although there are many believers, but in the past few decades, they have indeed not done anything evil, on the contrary, they are all helping others.
There are many gods like the White Lady.
If it is according to the order of the Holy Dynasty, it is good or bad, and all the gods must be eradicated, Chu Xian is obviously hesitant in this matter. With a high-pressure situation, Chu Xian can naturally do it, but this matter also has drawbacks, and blind suppression will only make the people rebound more violently.
Wasn't that the case in the past?
After investigation, Chu Xian learned a shocking truth, the people of Jizhou believe in gods, not for decades as the officials say, but for decades, the truth is that from beginning to end, the people of Jizhou have believed in gods.
Bai Niangniang told Chu Xian that there was a god who had been worshiped in Jizhou for more than a thousand years, called 'Mother-in-law Sending Son'. This mother-in-law is extremely low-key, more low-key than the white lady, never competing for fame and fortune, there is a 'custom' that every household knows in Jizhou, and the newlyweds tie the knot, and they will paste a red paper-cut with the word "child" on the bed. This Chu Xian also knows that even not only in the Polar Prefecture, but also in the surrounding states, there are similar 'customs'.
According to Bai Niangniang, the mother-in-law has existed for thousands of years, or even longer.
"Mother-in-law's cultivation and supernatural powers are a hundred times that of me. ”
Bai Niangniang said so, after Chu Xian heard it, he also secretly compared, and then made an astonishing discovery, if what Bai Niangniang said was true, then the ability to send her mother-in-law was much higher than herself, and even could be compared with the immortal officials at the level of the Shoufu Pavilion.
Even if it's the spear god, it's far inferior to the mother-in-law who sent her son.
Unlike other gods, Granny Songzi does not ask for believers, and in fact, she has no believers, but everyone believes in the existence of such a kind old woman.
That's enough.
What are the gods most afraid of?
It is to be forgotten.
And a god like Mother-in-law has formed a 'custom' that has been passed down by millions of people in several states and regions, and this custom will continue to be passed on, so even after several generations, no one will forget this god.
After knowing this, Chu Xian was also silent for a long time.
There are many customs in various places, and even when he was in Liangzhou, Chu Xian knew that there were various customs in the place under his jurisdiction, and how many of them involved gods?
These gods are low-key, never evil, and have no quarrel with the world, so if they are discovered, do they want to eradicate and kill them?
In Chu Xian's previous letter to the Shoufu Pavilion of Jingzhou, there are some of his thoughts, in Chu Xian's view, the gods are indeed divided into good and evil, and the holy dynasty does not need to be completely destroyed, it should be restricted, especially in this place of Jizhou, believing in the gods has formed a habit, and it is extremely difficult to change.
It's just that after Chu Xian got Jingzhou's reply, his brows were furrowed and his face was not good-looking.
In Jingzhou's reply, Chu Xian was reprimanded, obviously disapproving Chu Xian's suggestion, and the Holy Dynasty still had a firm attitude, that is, zero tolerance for the gods.
Obviously, this is the attitude of the first auxiliary pavilion, that is, the attitude of the holy pilgrimage.
If you are an ordinary official, you will definitely be scared by the six gods who will be reprimanded by the Shoufu Pavilion of Jingzhou, and you will obey immediately, but Chu Xian is not an ordinary official.
Chu Xian is good at peeling off the cocoon, just talking about the reply letter from the Shoufu Pavilion, Chu Xian saw some problems. Because at the beginning, Chu Xian wrote a letter to Xiao Yu, the order of Zhongshu, and it stands to reason that this letter should be the signed receipt of Xiao Yu's Zhongshu, but at this moment, it is covered with the immortal seal of the Shoufu Pavilion.
In other words, this letter is not Xiao Yuzhongshu's reply to himself alone, but on behalf of the entire Shoufu Pavilion.
There's a big problem here.
Why didn't Xiao Yuzhongshu write a letter back and scold himself?
Chu Xian tasted a possibility from this matter.
Xiao Yuzhongshu is likely to agree with his own ideas, after all, there are many immortal officials in the Shoufu Pavilion, and sometimes it is impossible to completely unify their opinions.
So Xiao Yuzhong didn't know how to believe it, but wrote a letter in the name of the Shoufu Pavilion to denounce himself, which shows that the Shoufu Pavilion does not agree with his own views, but it does not mean that all the officials of the Shoufu Pavilion have this idea.
It can only be said that most of the Immortal Officials of the Shoufu Pavilion are like this.
In this way, Chu Xian has the bottom in his heart, this matter is not really without room for maneuver, and Chu Xian is very stubborn, as an official, he can't blindly obey orders, even if it is the first auxiliary pavilion, it is impossible to cover everything.
So Chu Xian made an extremely bold decision.
That is to disobey the order of the Shofu Pavilion and to issue a new decree in the Polar State, that is, to allow the people to worship the gods recognized by the Holy Dynasty.
Turning the blockage into sparseness, perhaps this effect will be better.
This article is very big, and if you do this, you can ease the current tense relationship between the government and the people, not to prevent you from believing in the gods, but it must be approved by the government.
And this recognition is a huge constraint.
If it is not approved by the government, it is an evil god, and in this way, it is also firmly in the hands of the Holy Dynasty.
Of course, the risk of doing this is quite large, after all, this is disobeying orders, once this kind of thing is investigated, Chu Xian is afraid that his life will be worried, let alone his official position.
But since he wants to do it, Chu Xian will not be stupid and brute.
The decree was to be issued, but he also had to think of ways to persuade the Shoufu Pavilion, so Chu Xian planned to go to Jingzhou immediately and try to persuade the many immortal officials of the Shoufu Pavilion.
But you can't just go like this, just with one mouth, the persuasion is too poor, even if Chu Xian is eloquent, he may not be able to convince many immortal officials.
For this matter, Chu Xian thought about it for a long time, and on the same day, Chu Xian found the white lady. Chu Xian planned to take Bai Niangniang and a few other gods to Jingzhou together, and wanted to persuade Shoufu Pavilion.
This matter is extremely risky, not only for Chu Xian, but also for the gods of Bai Niangniang, once they go to Jingzhou and are exposed, then there is no possibility of escape, even if the cultivation is high, in the place where the immortals of Jingzhou are gathered, no matter how powerful the gods are, it is useless.
The White Lady obviously also took this into account and was a little hesitant.
Chu Xian didn't force it, just carefully explained the stakes, and then said: "This is an opportunity for you, the official can actually not do this, just follow the orders above, but for the sake of the people, for you, the official is willing to take this risk, you think about it, in addition, you also need one or two gods who take the shot to go together, just like the mother-in-law you said before, if she is willing to go, it will be better." ”
"The little woman needs to think about it. "Bai Niangniang couldn't agree to it, after all, this matter was too dangerous for them, Bai Niangniang could be regarded as a great supernatural power, but when she went to Jingzhou, once something went wrong, she didn't even have a chance to escape.
Chu Xian also knew that it was impossible for the other party to agree at once, but fortunately, Chu Xian also had to make some preparations on his side.
Two days later, the White Lady came.
She didn't come alone, she came with the White Lady, and there were two people.
One is a kind old woman, and the other is a general with a battle flag on her back, a bronze helmet and iron armor, and a double halberd.
Chu Xian was stunned.
Obviously, these three are all gods, which can be seen from the kind of mana fluctuations emanating from their bodies, and Chu Xian can be sure that among the three gods, Bai Niangniang's ability is the worst.
The other two, the old woman is the mother-in-law who sent the son, Shou Yuan couldn't see how many there were at all, in Chu Xian's opinion, the ability of the mother-in-law to send the child was even greater than he expected, and even stronger. Even more than most of the Dao Immortals that Chu Xian had ever seen, even if it was not much different from the Dao Immortals in the Shoufu Pavilion.
After all, this mother-in-law has existed for too long, if you really want to talk about believers, I am afraid that there must be more than hundreds of thousands, and this level of god is of course powerful.
Chu Xian had thought more than once that in ancient times, the whole people believed in gods, and some great gods had more than one million believers, so what kind of existence was a great god of this level? I am afraid that if you make a move, you can destroy the heavens and the earth, and this kind of existence can be defeated by the Holy Ancestor of Taizong, which is really powerful.
And the other person who seems to be an ancient general seems to be the most ordinary, and it is very much like a mountain village man wearing a simple armor, which is very unreliable, because from the other party, he can't feel any martial arts true qi, just like a liar general. But it is such an ordinary-looking liar general, but in Chu Xian's opinion, he is the most difficult one.
This is completely a feeling, as for what is difficult about the other party, Chu Xian can't figure it out.
These three visits, Bai Niangniang took the lead and told Chu Xian that they had discussed it and were willing to follow Chu Xian into Jingzhou. Chu Xian also knew the identity of the last general.
