At dusk, when the cold air rises sharply, a small boat is speeding from south to north.

On the boat, two men in Taoist costumes, both of whom looked like young men, stood at the bow of the boat, staring at the two shores.

Looking at the temperament of the two of them, although they are Taoist monks, they are by no means ordinary people, these two monks with some Taoism are none other than the Pingzhen Tongxuan of the Hidden Sect in Shu.

The real direction of Ping is the direction of Jishui County, today's Jishui County, not yesterday, not only the county's surname has doubled, but there are more villages and towns outside the county.

Some of the residents of these villages and towns are refugees who fled from Dongyizhou and settled here, and some of them are people with the surname Baizi who migrated from Longjian some time ago.

There are many people, it is inevitable that there will be some problems, whether it is sacrifices, or customs, the surname Bai Dian who migrated over will inevitably be different from the surname Bian in a short period of time.

This difference is nothing to ordinary surnames, but it is a big deal for Wang Hongyi, who is the ruler of Shudi.

The major affairs of the country are in the worship and precepts.

There is a big difference between orthodox and obscene.

Canonized in the past dynasties, it is generally a formal worship, or the strong is the king, and the incense has been burned for a long time, or the ancient true gods, and the powerful ones, most of them cannot be deposed, this is the orthodox sacrifice of the people, and most of them are tolerated by those who are in power.

The obscenity that is not sacrificed but sacrificed is destroyed when the power is seen.

Anything that harms the luck of the people and the luck of the court, no one in power will not care.

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

Originally, Dongyizhou had been cleared, but Wang Hongyi quickly unified the east and west Yizhou, and recovered the Longjian region.

Su Er ordered the Hidden Gate to cooperate, and the Hidden Gate was very positive about this matter.

This is a major event of the original source, Wang Hongyi has been unified at this time, is the king of Shu land, entrusted to do this matter of Su'er and the hidden door, can do this matter, the right handle can be all over the ghost and god world in Shu, luck soared, the hidden door will not shirk, a hit, Tong Xuan Pingzhen this trip, is to explore this matter.

It's winter, and it's dusk and sunset, and the wind is biting, and the cold makes people shiver.

The surface of the river that can be drawn is still flowing, and there is no sign of ice in sight. A faint white gas constantly rises from the surface of the river, and the clear river water has never frozen, but it is a little colder than the ice surface.

The two of them stepped on the boat and rode the wind, and the robes were swept by the wind, with a bit of a sense of fairy wind.

Because of their cultivation, the two of them didn't feel cold in this weather.

The boat is getting closer and closer to the county seat of Jishui.

Standing on the bow of the boat, the faint aroma of food came faintly, and the smoke of the town in the distance twisted into several white lines against the background of the clouds.

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

"Senior brother, do you look at the direction of Jishui County in front of you, is it a little strange?"

"This place shouldn't be too far from the Dragon Maiden Temple, right? There are also obscenities? I really don't know whether to say that this god is bold or ignorant. Ping Zhen muttered, looking in the direction of Jishui County, his face changed slightly.

"I'm afraid this spirit is about to become a climate. ”

It is the ghosts that are produced by the death of people, and the ghosts become the climate, which are the yin spirits, and at first they can only shelter one family at most.

The divine power is red, it can protect a township and a county, and the divine power is red and yellow, so that it can go out of the county, otherwise it is beyond the standard and harmful to the people's luck.

When the world is in turmoil, when the powerful people fight frequently in the world and are too busy to take care of themselves, many ghosts and gods hope to break through the shackles of "sacrifice and do not overlook" in order to expand their strength and improve their rank, and go to other places to establish shrines.

For the lowly gods, a large expansion of faith is tantamount to a prostitution.

The faint divine power that appeared in front of the two of them right now was red, and it was the official worship that could be registered in the case, and there was only one Jishui Dragon Girl Temple in Jishui County.

If you don't get out of the county level, you come here beyond the rules, and you can't get the recognition of the official government, this is obscenity!

Tong Xuan frowned solemnly, he looked in the direction, and said lightly: "This obscenity is the thirty-third place found in Shu, but the strength is strong before. ”

Ping Zhen nodded: "Just follow the teacher." ”

The boat turned its bow and moved quickly, returning to Chengdu Mansion.

At night, Chengdu Mansion, in the Taoist Temple, is quiet.

A few ordinary helpers patrolled outside the Taoist temple.

In a piece of land outside the Taoist temple, planted with fruit trees and crops, and dug a river pond with some fish in it, adjacent to the river pond, is a bungalow, which is the temporary residence of the pilgrims built by the Taoist temple.

Therefore, the land is considered a land, although the god offered is a new god, but it is very effective, there are many people who donate silver on incense, the Taoist temple is located in a very remote area, there is no inn in the surrounding miles, in order to solve the problem of pilgrims living from afar, the Taoist temple itself built these houses, and hired people to patrol the night here, and the night is calm.

Several helpers, are looking for clever and decent men, strong and strong, and young to stay up late, at night, outside the Taoist temple patrol, the number of men responsible for the inspection is not much, the quality is good.

Taoist apse, one room.

In a faint burst of sandalwood, Ping Zhenpan sat on the ground, and Tong Xuan sat next to him. In front of them, there was a statue of a god, and it was a deceitful person.

"Brother Shi, you and I invite a real person to come!" Tong Xuan said solemnly to Pingzhen beside him.

"Brother Yishi. Ping Zhen nodded.

The two of them then used the secret method in the door to invite a real person to come to this place.

Pingzhen and Tongxuan, after inspecting the situation of the ghosts and gods in Shuzhong, it is not good to make decisions directly, so they simply invite real people to come and ask about unknown things, or follow orders.

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

The figure is made of golden light, and it is no different from the size of a real person, but the face is a little blurry, and the voice is real, it is a real person.

"Ping Zhen (Tong Xuan), I've seen a real person!" When Ping Zhen and Tong Xuan appeared, they had quickly got up, and when they saw the real person asking, the two of them hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Plain, Tongxuan?" For these two people, the real person has some impressions. Although he is not a descendant, he is also a good disciple of the inner sect.

"What are you two calling me late at night?" asked the real person lightly.

Because he is a fallen person, he is sacrificed by the incense of the surname Baixiao, on the real person, the image of the stammered is wrapped in a faint golden light, the expression is indifferent, and the figure has not been deliberately raised, but it gives the two people in front of him a sense of oppression and majesty.

"Real people, the two of us are now instructed by the Duke of Shu to inspect the sacrificial temple in Shu, and after a while, I will work with the third lady to demolish or clean up many obscene rituals in Shu, this matter is very important, it is related to the great turmoil in the ghost and god world in Shu, and I have just reported to the master, but there are some things, the master is not very clear, and I came to ask the real person. Tong Xuan said slowly.

"I see. Thinking of the panicked atmosphere in the underworld of Shu that he had noticed before, the real person already understood the root cause.

"You two don't have to worry too much, the hidden sect of cultivation, there are not many Taoist temples in Shu, there are very few people who participate in folk sacrifices, and there are some ghosts and gods in the underworld and my hidden door are not shallow, but the main worship is the majority, as for the ignorant people, there is this difficulty, even if we are helpless, we don't have to take care of them. ”

"The Duke of Shu is aware of everything, and he is the lord of Shu, you must not have personal relations with ghosts and gods, and have some concealment and slackness. Just report it truthfully and ignore it. ”

The words of the real person made Pingzhen and Tongxuan look even more solemn after hearing it.

The two of them thanked the real people for their teachings.

"My brother and I will definitely not live up to the teachings of the real people, and we will be cautious in this matter. Tong Xuan said.

The real person encouraged them again, and Fang dispersed lightly.

The royal palace, a hall, covered with tents and flags.

The soft woman who was lying flat on the collapse opened her eyes suddenly.

"It's worthy of a real person, it's fallen, and there is still the aftermath of the day's storms. Recalling the past, Su'er's face was a little complicated.

Su Er used to hate the hidden door, but with what happened in the world and the fall of the real person, Su Er had long since extinguished her revenge, and the grudge with the real person had long been written off.

The existence that frightened her in the past was just succumbing to the position of a ghost immortal, which made her sigh.

The major affairs of the country are in worship and Rong.

The key to the importance of sacrifice is faith and luck, and the orthodox dynasty must specify the list of sacrifices, sacrifices, rituals, and participants in the rituals.

Legitimate sacrifices are called "rituals" or rituals, and those who do not commit to the law are denounced as "obscene rituals."

The court should support all kinds of rituals from the central government to the localities, and also use political power to crack down on non-legal obscenities through various means, and the screening and control of orthodox rituals and obscenities is a very strict power relationship.

Of course, Su'er didn't know that on the earth, the "General Dictionary" of the Tang Dynasty set up a special article on "The Rise and Abolition of Obscenity", which recorded the behavior of various dynasties before the Tang Dynasty to crack down on obscenity.

The Song Dynasty paid special attention to it, and there were countless cases of the court and the local officials cracking down on obscenity, and as long as a little comparison, it is not difficult to find that the official policy of the Song Dynasty to worship the gods of the people's shrines was particularly positive.

The court had a set of strict rules and regulations for the gods, and at the same time issued a large number of edicts and legal provisions to crack down on and suppress the people's trust.

One of the administrative affairs of the local officials is to manage and control the worship of the various ancestral shrines, or to help the local people to apply for titles for the local ancestral gods, or to crack down on obscenity, and the two coexist, and the entire Song Dynasty has always been the same.

At the time of the Ming and Qing dynasties, Gu Yanwu wrote the "Rizhilu", "Prohibition of the destruction of obscene shrines", listing the cases of cracking down on obscenity since the Han Dynasty.

In this world, the issue of obscenity is even more important.

The crackdown on obscenity has almost always been the national policy adhered to by the court in the past dynasties, but it is not a blind crackdown, and the role of the court is not to suppress the ancestral temples outside the rituals, but to find and recognize the shrines of the gods.

To put it simply, it is also the responsibility of the court to discover the deities who are qualified to serve as gods, and to recognize and seal them.

What Wang Hongyi did was just to inherit the national policy of the previous kings and systematize it.

However, this difference leads to a completely different authority, and Su'er is happy in her heart, through these, she will gain a huge amount of authority and room for growth.
