Chapter 692 Revealed
The worries of the three elders are not unreasonable.
There are so many gods on the land of China, and even the gods are different in different places. Who can know all the taboos of these gods?
If someone accidentally violates a certain god's taboo, wouldn't it bring disaster to himself or his family?
Not only that, as gods become holy, there will definitely be people with ulterior motives who use the guise of gods to do things with ulterior motives.
Ordinary people cannot distinguish between truth and falsehood. If they are deceived by these people with ulterior motives, a lot of troubles may arise.
In addition, this is only a matter in the mortal world. If any of the gods have malicious intentions and want to sacrifice humans and demand blood and food as offerings, it will be nothing less than a disaster for the general public.
This is not alarmist. As scholars with great reputations, the three Su Lao knew clearly how bloody sacrifices to gods were during the Xia and Shang Dynasties before the pre-Qin Dynasty.
There is an old saying: The great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military service.
Among them, sacrificing sacrifices to the heaven and gods was listed as being as important as sending troops to fight. When sacrificing to the heaven and gods, many slaves were used as human sacrifices to sacrifice to the heaven and gods.
The three elders didn't know when the Dharma Ending Catastrophe occurred, or what era the returning gods were from. If they were gods from the Xia and Shang Dynasties, they would probably have asked for human sacrifices as sacrificial offerings.
And this is what they are vaguely worried about!
However, although the three elders had various worries, when they faced the old Taoist transformed by Taoist Huolong, their expressions did not show at all. They just asked with a smile: "I dare to ask the immortal, I don't know this
What kind of offerings do we need for the restored God of society?"
As a monk, the thoughts of the three small town elders were as transparent to him and could not escape his eyes at all.
Knowing that they were not happy to have another god weighing on their heads, Huolong Taoist just pretended not to know their thoughts and simply replied: "There is no need to offer sacrifices to the gods of society, only one stick of incense is enough!"
"That's good, that's good!" After hearing Taoist Huolong's answer, the three of them said in succession.
The eyes of many people who were watching on the side suddenly lit up when they heard Taoist Huolong say that there was no need to offer three animals or five sacrifices, only one stick of incense was enough to offer sacrifices to the gods.
This is such a good thing, as long as a stick of incense is needed, even ordinary people like them can afford it!
Those who were quick-thinking secretly decided at that moment that they would offer incense every day in the future, hoping that the gods would bless them.
They think that as long as they worship diligently, the gods will definitely remember their piety, so won't they give priority to protecting them?
These people were still immersed in their beautiful thoughts, but at this moment, the Huolong Taoist's next words poured cold water on them.
"Now that the God of Society has returned to the throne for the first time, he cannot yet bless a place with good weather and good weather. He can only manage the affairs after death of living beings, bless the souls of predecessors in the underworld, or protect you from evil spirits."
After hearing these words, those who had beautiful illusions were immediately disappointed.
Taoist Huolong squinted his eyes and saw that the white air above some people's heads fluctuated, and the originally bright color suddenly dimmed.
Seeing this scene, Huolong Taoist couldn't help but become interested.
After careful observation in the dark, he saw disappointment on these people's faces. Combined with what he just said, he could clearly guess what these people were thinking.
"Interesting!" Huolong Taoist thought secretly, "You can actually see changes in people's hearts from this aspect. This way of faith is really wonderful!"
Not to mention how disappointed those who held beautiful illusions were because their illusions were shattered, but some people in the crowd at this time heard the fire dragon Taoist say that the social god manages things after death and can protect the souls of ancestors.
, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Someone had the courage to ask Taoist Huolong: "May I ask the immortal, you said that the gods of society protect the souls of ancestors in the underworld. Is my old father who died three years ago among them?"
When the people next to him heard what this person said, they couldn't help but turn their heads and glance at this person. They immediately thought of the other person's father who passed away due to a cold infection three years ago. Thinking that the other person was young and lost his life when he was only fourteen years old.
My parents and the people around me couldn't help but show pity.
Taking a look at this person's face, Taoist Huolong could tell at a glance that his parents' palace was dim. Knowing that his parents were both dead, he was determined to help him: "Please describe your father's appearance to me.
!”
This man did not dare to neglect and quickly described his father's appearance before his death.
Taoist Huolong raised his eyebrows slightly as he listened to the other party's description. According to the other party's description, he had actually seen the soul of this man's father.
Except for those ghosts whose minds have been wiped out and whose souls have become blurred, the faces of all the ghosts who have entered the underworld will be remembered by Taoist Fire Dragon.
At that time, it was just a brief glance. Taoist Huolong didn't have a deep impression of this man's father, but he still remembered the honest middle-aged man.
However, Taoist Huolong didn't say anything. Instead, he raised his hand and swiped in the air, revealing a round light like a mirror. Part of the scene in Xiaoyintu was reflected in the round light, and at the same time, a figure appeared on it.
"It's my dad! It's really my dad!" Seeing the figure shown in the round light mirror, the young man shouted in surprise.
There are familiar neighbors who still remember the appearance of the young man's father. When they saw the face shown in the round light mirror, they couldn't help but exclaimed: "It turns out to be Wang Jiadong of the Wang family!"
Everyone saw in the round light mirror that Wang Jiadong, who died young in middle age, was talking to other 'people'. There seemed to be some other shadowy figures in the corner of the mirror. People who saw this scene looked in the round light mirror one after another.
Find it.
Soon, someone saw a familiar figure in a corner.
"Found it, that's my Aweng!" Someone else exclaimed, apparently finding their deceased relative in the circular light mirror.
Taoist Huolong watched these people searching in the circular light mirror. Whenever someone found a familiar figure among them, he saw the dense white air on the person's head becoming brighter and brighter.
Wisps of faith and will penetrated the void and poured into the underworld of the underworld.
Whenever someone finds the figure of their deceased relative in the circular light mirror, their faith, which could only be regarded as ordinary at first, immediately becomes much more pious.
Taoist Huolong was not surprised by this.
It can even be said that all this was within his expectation. Knowing that his ancestors still exist and live in the underworld of the social god's "protection" directly strengthens their confidence for these ordinary people.
On the one hand, the concept of "existence" of ancestors has become clearer, and on the other hand, after knowing that they have a destination after death, these people's fear of death has subsided a lot.
Although it can't make them completely fearless of death, it still makes them have a kind of thought in their hearts.
The so-called "thoughts are always there and the heart is connected, which is far better than incense and belief".
In this way, there is no need to deliberately spread the belief. As long as people know the existence of Little Yin Earth and always talk about Little Yin Earth in their hearts, they can continuously provide wish power for the Yin Earth world - and this is what Taoist Huo Long did.
