Chapter 1478: City God Lord
"Mr., what are you thinking?"
Hu Xinyue came over with a plate of cut fruit and placed it on the table. Seeing her husband looking at the river bank in a daze, she asked.
Jiang Hao turned around and smiled at the little fox, "I'm going to the villa soon. I'm thinking about introducing you to my family later."
Hu Xinyue suddenly felt a sense of cramping in her heart, and she felt like she went to her husband's house to meet her parents.
"Come here and sit next to me." Jiang Hao patted the seat next to him.
The little fox sat down obediently.
"Tell you who are in your family, Mr. Zhuge Wolong, my friend, was a court official and a top scholar. He was a Hanlin Academy editor and a lecturer in the imperial examination. He was a scholar of the emperor. Later, he served as a priest of the Imperial College, a right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, a left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, and a great scholar. He had a rich life experience."
The little fox blinked his big eyes and asked curiously: "I have also heard of Mr. Zhuge Wolong's name. I heard that he was later sentenced to prison for life. How could he be with Langjun?"
Jiang Hao smiled, "I rescued it secretly."
"There is also a Taoist priest in the family, named Zhiqiu Yiye, who was born in Kunlun Mountain." Jiang Hao said.
My husband is a monk, so it is not surprising that he has friends with monks.
"There is also the butler Guiyuan, who is a thousand-year-old turtle."
Hu Xinyue was very surprised that a thousand-year-old monster was actually taken as a housekeeper by Langjun. The housekeeper's specifications are really high.
Jinhua is not far from Lanxi, and it can be reached in one day. In the evening, when the sunset sags slightly, the cruise ship has already arrived at the river channel outside the courtyard. Jiang Hao pointed to a large mansion by the river and said, "Did you see where? That's our home."
At this moment, an old man dressed as a housekeeper came quickly from a distance. He looked like he was not as old as he was. Although his legs were short, they were twitching very quickly. He arrived at the river in a flash.
Jiang Hao laughed at him when he saw this. It was his housekeeper Guiyuan.
Guiyuan came to the riverside and did not stop. He stepped into the river and saw a water platform suddenly rising from his feet. He dragged him to the side of the boat quickly and sent Guiyuan to the boat before he retreated to the river.
Zhu Guang suddenly appeared behind Guiyuan, and it was Guiyuan who Jiang Hao ordered Zhu Guang to inform him.
"The old servant has met the young master, and this must be the mistress. The old servant has met the mistress." The old turtle made great etiquette.
Hu Xinyue was a little awkward when she was given a gift from a thousand-year-old monster and gave her a gentle bow.
The old turtle immediately became trepidated, "If you can't do it, how can the mistress return a gift to me, the servant? If you have any instructions in the future, just call me."
Jiang Hao smiled, "Guiyuan, the boat is on the shore later, you ask someone to move the things on the boat to the other courtyard."
"The old servant understands."
The boat was on the shore, and Jiang Hao led Hu Xinyue and stepped on the board to get off the boat.
After stepping on the bluestone on the shore, Hu Xinyue said softly to Jiang Hao, "Thank you, Mr. Lang."
In fact, with Xinyue's ability to fly around the treetops, how could it be necessary for Jiang Hao to hold hands to protect him from the boat? What he wants is a mood.
I can unscrew the enemy's cap with my bare hands, but I can't unscrew the bottle cap in my hand in front of my lover.
Everyone soon came to the other courtyard. As soon as Jiang Hao entered the door, he saw Zhuge Wolong standing in the courtyard, looking at them with a smile on his face, then looked at Hu Xinyue next to him, and joked with a smile:
"You went to the hospital for an examination and got the first place in the case. I was very happy when I heard about it, but I waited for you but didn't come back. I didn't expect that you not only had the title of the gold list, but also married a beautiful wife in the bridal chamber. It was really enviable."
Jiang Hao brought the little fox forward and recommended it to Zhuge Wolong. The little fox bowed to Zhuge Wolong politely, and Zhuge Wolong took it with his beard.
"Where is a leaf in autumn?" Jiang Hao asked.
"That guy often goes out to subdue demons and demons. He leaves for ten or half a month. He occasionally comes back to stay for two days. He completely treats this place as a hotel and inn for rest and recuperation." Zhuge Wolong said angrily.
Jiang Hao smiled and stopped caring about that guy.
The dinner was held to celebrate Jiang Hao's examination and his wife was married. Everyone had a very lively drink. After the banquet, Xinyue took the maid to the backyard to clean up the room, while Jiang Hao and Zhuge Wolong came to the garden.
"Mr. Zhuge, how has your new Neo-Confucianism been completed?" Jiang Hao asked.
Zhuge Wolong was a little drunk. When he heard Jiang Hao ask, he shook his head, "No, very bad. The things we communicated before the exam, I thought about it for a long time, and the more I thought about it, the more I couldn't get through."
"The biggest problem in the world today is people's hearts, greed, selfish desires, treacherous, meanness, the rich and tyrannical businessmen take advantage of the situation to rob, officials collude and do evil, can they convince them by reason alone?"
"You told me that this requires laws and regulations to control it, but this involves another aspect. Can laws completely control people? When Taizu killed people, he still had some people who violated the law and discipline."
"What do you tell me about the use of principles and laws, but this involves the 'the dispute between principles and laws, kings and kings'. Xunzi said: "To be respectful of rituals and kings and kings, to respect law and love the people and domineering." In the end, we must distinguish between importance and importance. Which one is the most important?"
Jiang Hao looked at Zhuge Wolong with annoyed look and thought to himself that he had said many modern theories before, and it seemed that the impact on the old guy was quite big, causing him to be confused.
Some things in modern times may not be good, but there is also a problem of not adapting to the local environment. It is not that easy to create a perfect theory. From ancient times to the present, sages have created one and become saints, but there is no perfection.
"Mr. Zhuge, I can't figure out some things for a while, so it's better to let go of them for the time being, continue to study and observe. I have something I want to talk to Mr. Zhuge here." Jiang Hao said.
"What's the matter?" Zhuge Wolong looked at Jiang Hao.
"I want to re-establish the City God." Jiang Hao said.
Zhuge Wolong was stunned, "Re-establishing the City God, isn't the City God just staying in the City God Temple? How do you re-establishing it?"
Jiang Hao shook his head, "The City God you see is just a clay statue in the temple. The real City God is no longer there. Not only the City God, but also the land of this world, the mountain god, the river god, the lake god, and even the immortals and Buddhas in the temple are no longer there."
Zhuge Wolong widened his eyes. It was the first time he heard about this incident. He was shocked and stuttered. "How is this possible? Who is managing the affairs of the underworld? Who will reward good and punish evil? Who will stop demons and ghosts from harming the people?!"
Jiang Hao shook his head gently, "No one cares about it now."
Zhuge Wolong's breathing became rapid, his eyes were dazed and he murmured: "No one cares, the gods are gone, no one cares about this world. No wonder this world has become so devastating, it turns out that the root cause is here."
"No, the root cause is still people." Jiang Hao said.
"It's still human beings, what do you say?" Zhuge Wolong looked at Jiang Hao blankly.
Jiang Hao thought about the words and said, "This is the world of human beings, and people are the masters here. Because people's hearts become dirty, violent, and crazy, the world is full of evil spirits. After the evil spirit fills the world, the immortals will naturally withdraw if they are polluted by evil spirits. To put it bluntly, it is the human beings who commit sins themselves that make this world become dirty and unbearable for monsters to rush."
"Human hearts, human hearts!"
Zhuge Wolong closed his eyes in pain and kept muttering these two words.
After a while, Zhuge Wolong woke up and looked at Jiang Hao and said, "How do you want to re-establish the City God? What's the use of re-establishing the City God?"
Before Jiang Hao came, he had already thought a lot. The experiences of these days gave him a huge plan.
"Mr. Zhuge understands what is a god on earth?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Don't understand."
"Then I'll explain it to you first so that you can understand my plan."
"The Three Pure Dao Ancestors, the 365 righteous gods in the Heavenly Court, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, actually do not live in us. Speaking of which, our world is just one of the three thousand great worlds, billions of small worlds, and so many worlds, how can the righteous gods and Bodhisattvas live here? The gods we kneel down and worship are just a statue in the Taoist temple, and the statues are just one of the billions of gods of immortals and gods."
"And the real people who manage things in the world are those gods on earth. These gods on earth are selected from this world and appointed as city gods, land, mountain gods, river gods, etc., to maintain the underworld laws in this world."
"The highest priest position of the priest in the human world is the City God, who has the responsibilities of protecting the country, cities, and in charge of the undead, rewarding good and punishing evil, living and death, misfortune and good fortune, subduing demons and demons, and maintaining the safety of the people."
Zhuge Wolong nodded, stroked his beard and said, "I also know about the City God. I have worked as a minister in the Ministry of Rites. The City God of Kyoto was named "The King of Minsheng Fu Mingling", the first-rank king, and the city god in the world. The City God of Duke of the City God of the Censorate was named "The City God of the Censorate, Wei Linggong", the second-rank duke, in charge of affairs in a province. The City God of the State was named "The City God of the Censorate, Wei Linghou of the City God of the Censorate, Wei Linghou of the City God of the Censorate," and the fourth-rank Count."
The old guy can never forget it, and he can remember such a long name.
"Every year, the imperial court and governments at all levels have a worship ceremony for the city gods, and I also presided over the worship of the city gods in the capital."
Jiang Hao said: "There are also land and mountain gods under the city god. The land manages the affairs of one village and one village, and controls the household registration of the dead in the village, protects the tranquility and tranquility of the village. They are generally held by well-known gentry and good people. The mountain god is generally held by demon cultivators, responsible for managing the birds and beasts in the mountains and forests and minerals in the mountains, and also has the responsibility to punish demons and eliminate demons and maintain the village."
"Most of the river gods, lake gods, well gods, creation gods, and door gods are like this."
When he said this, Jiang Hao paused for a moment, looked at Zhuge Wolong and said, "Mr. Zhuge, now the god is gone, the underworld system is collapsed, and evil spirits are causing trouble at will. My plan is to save myself. Let's build him again to maintain the laws of the underworld and prevent those evil spirits from causing trouble."
Zhuge Wolong was very surprised. He didn't expect that Jiang Hao actually wanted to reorganize the laws of the world by himself. "Do you think it can be done?"
"A few days ago, my father-in-law was going to overcome the tribulation, and he was afraid he would die under the tribulation of heaven. I asked him for a god from heaven. Now he is the god of Hengshan Mountain. I have been thinking about this question along the way. Finally, I thought of this method, which is to reorganize the City God Yinsi." Jiang Hao said.
Zhuge Wolong blinked and looked at Jiang Hao and said, "You just said that the mountain god is a monster and the spirit. You ask your father-in-law to ask for the mountain god. Then what is your father-in-law? Are your wife again?"
The old guy was so crazy that he thought of this first.
"My wife is a fox fairy who has been practicing for five hundred years." Jiang Hao said generously without hiding it. Anyway, Zhuge Wolong will know about it soon.
Old Man Zhuge was shocked when he heard this, and then looked at Jiang Hao and said seriously: "No wonder Xinyue is so beautiful, you are so lucky!"
Oh ~!
Jiang Hao was stunned by the old man Zhuge's reaction. This old guy was not afraid of worry, but seemed to be envious.
Chapter completed!
