Gods have levels, and divine power naturally also has levels.
Most of the gods who are ordinary and unpopular have gray-white powers.
Then the gods of the ninth rank are pure white, the gods of the eighth rank are white and red, and the gods of the seventh rank are red.
Until the fifth level, the divine power turns into pure gold!
Golden divine power is quite advanced among Shinto and can support the Yang transformation of gods!
But...
Entering this stone seal is like a mud cow entering the sea.
"It seems that the level of this item is higher than I imagined..."
Fang Xi closed her eyes slightly, the golden light on her body converged, and a blue cloud floated above her head.
He is not a fifth-grade god, but a fourth-grade righteous god!
Part of the cyan divine power can already be refined!
Those with blue power can be called great gods in Shinto. If there is still no way, Fang Xi can only wait until later.
Threads of cyan divine power wrap around the stone seal like a drizzle and sink in through the gaps.
A green light flashed on the surface of the stone seal, and it floated up.
"it works?!"
A hint of joy appeared on Fang Xi's face, and she continued to refine the fifth-grade golden divine power in her body into cyan divine power, and then injected it into the stone seal.
After half an hour, he stopped with an ugly look on his face.
The divine power in his body is now nearly exhausted, and he must wait for time to slowly recover.
At this time, the stone seal did not change much.
No!
Fang Xi's consciousness gathered on the divine seal, and he suddenly made a discovery.
He stretched out his hand and caught the square stone seal. He saw that the small seal was square and seemed not to have changed much compared to before.
Even those small cracks have not been healed.
On the other hand, the seal characters at the bottom seem to be quite clear, and a few divine inscriptions can be barely discerned.
"green……"
"Tongjun..."
Fang Xi recognized it for a long time, and finally recognized it, which was the five seal characters of "Treasure of Qingtongjun".
"This gentleman...can't be the one I imagined, right?"
A kind of shock suddenly arose in his heart!
There are nine levels of Shinto, with the ninth level being the lowest and the first level being the highest.
And above the first rank, there is the Heavenly Lord!
God, Lord, Lord, Son of Heaven...
Above the Lord of Heaven, there is the ‘King of Heaven’!
Even in heaven, he is a real big shot.
According to Fang Xi's previous speculation, his status may be equivalent to that of a combined power in the earthly and immortal world!
"If this 'Qingtong Lord' is really a Heavenly Lord, then this divine seal is really something incredible..."
Fang Xi stared at the stone seal in her hand: "No wonder you can ignore the laws of Taoism and draw inspiration... Mei Changkong can inherit such a treasure. Could it be that he is the son of destiny? The protagonist of the next era may create a new 'Emperor'
?”
"No, no, he is too impoverished. It's not like that... This square stone seal requires cyan divine power to open. He has gotten to this point. It is impossible for him to seek refuge in the Taoist court and climb to the fifth level or above...
…”
"If it wasn't him...could it be me?"
Fang Xi resisted her heart palpitations, suddenly raised her head, and saw the blue sky through the mountain.
Above the sky, could there be a pair of eyes watching me right now?
If not, why would Qingtongjun’s heavenly treasure happen to be bumped into by me?
'The Lord of the Heavenly Lord, the combined cultivation level... really corresponds to each other, every detail... just right...'
'However, this may not be the manipulation of powerful forces behind the scenes, it may also be... the influence of the law of cause and effect?'
'The wonders of cause and effect in this world are truly incredible. Heaven and earth are like a big net. Even an outsider like me will be forced into the net...'
'Of course, there are still benefits. If you refine this 'Qingtong Lord's Treasure', after flying to heaven, you will be a big boss... equivalent to a prince certified by the Emperor of Heaven.'
'If the body's cultivation level breaks through the Mahayana, wouldn't it be possible to become a heavenly king, a heavenly deity? An Antarctic immortal deity?'
Many thoughts emerged inexplicably in Fang Xi's mind, and she felt that the stone seal on her hand had turned into a hot potato.
"That's all, let's make peace with it when it comes... It has been in my hands for so long, and I'm afraid the arrangements have already been made. If I throw it away, I won't even benefit from it, and I will suffer a loss..."
"But if you think about it this way, I can be considered the leader of the emperor now?"
Fang Xi touched her chin, feeling a little inexplicably relieved.
Others think he is a mountain god from the fourth grade Black Cloud Mountain, but in fact he can become a first-grade mountain god at any time!
Others think he is a genuine one, but in fact... he can inherit the title of Heavenly Lord at any time, which is several levels higher than today's emperor!
Others think he is a Heavenly Lord, but in fact he is a combined monk...
"Daoting... now it's fun."
Fang Xi looked somewhere, with a playful smile on her lips.
…
Panlong Mansion.
Government office.
Not far from the government office is the ‘Fuchenghuang Temple’!
City God is a very numerous priest in the Taoist court.
Take the city god as an example. The county god is the lowest, but he is still a seventh-grade priest!
After that, the Fuchenghuang will have the fifth rank!
Finally, there is the ‘Capital God’, the third grade!
Zhang Zichun, the magistrate of Panlong Prefecture, is the Prefecture City God, the god of the fifth rank.
At this time, he was sitting cross-legged in the small pavilion, silently leaving his body and transforming into a city god, supervising everything in the city.
With the supervision of the Shinto, the people in this world live a better life than the mortals in the earthly and immortal world.
For Zhang Zichun, the official duties of the prefect were far less important than the priesthood of the city god.
There are so many redundant officials in the Taoist court, and it is really rare to find a place that does not have a city god. Many officials of the fifth rank can only accept the humiliation of serving as county gods, or wait for the Taoist court to be canonized after their death.
The Taoist canon can only grant one casual official at most, which can be regarded as a breakthrough of restrictions and can be widely popular, but in terms of authority and other aspects, it is inferior to the city god Duo.
I don't know how much time passed, but on the table in front of Zhang Zichun, all the incense in the animal-ear copper stove burned out.
Zhang Zichun opened his eyes, a look of shock flashed across his face.
Just now in the City God's Temple, he had received an official document, and an angel was about to come!
"Someone is coming!"
Zhang Zichuan shouted immediately.
"Master Prefect?"
The servants, maids, soldiers, and staff serving outside the pavilion came in immediately and lined up in an orderly manner.
“Prepare the incense table to welcome the angels!”
Zhang Zichuan said solemnly.
"yes!"
None of the people found it strange, they immediately bowed and left, and began to arrange the arrangements.
Shinto communication is extremely convenient, and I have long been accustomed to this situation.
It didn't take long for an incense table to be decorated, with an incense burner on a bright yellow satin base and four-season melon and fruit offerings.
Just after the incense table was set up, Zhang Zichun changed into his official uniform and knelt down with many officials from the government office: "I respectfully welcome the angel!"
At this time, the sky was cloudless and the sun was shining brightly.
Suddenly, a colorful auspicious cloud floated over. Among them was a red-robed eunuch, followed by two golden armored generals. They floated down: "Zhang Zichun, the magistrate of Panlong Prefecture, accepted the order..."
"Your Majesty...Zhang Zichen listened respectfully to the edict."
Farewell Zhang Zichu.
"The Emperor of Heaven has carried out the imperial edict: The God of Heiyun Mountain is blessed with profound blessings and has been given the priesthood by God. It is appropriate to confer the title of Zhengshen and order him to be worshiped... I have ordered you to be the deputy imperial envoy, and we will go to the canonization together!"
The eunuch read the imperial edict in a high-pitched voice with a smile on his face: "Master Zhang, this time we are the envoys and you are the deputy envoys. We must work together to complete the court errands."
Zhang Zichun looked at the imperial edict in the eunuch's hand and saw that the edict had a bright yellow background, was three feet long and one foot wide, had patterns of auspicious clouds on it, and had the shape of a coiled dragon on both sides. The scroll was made of mahogany and inlaid with beautiful jade.
Such an imperial edict, and the sealing, titles, and sacrifices... I don't know, it is a good thing that many civil and military officials dream of.
Why does it seem like hard work to this eunuch?
He had a plan in his mind and immediately ordered a banquet to entertain the angels and his party.
After the banquet, the angel was invited to the study for a detailed discussion.
"Eunuch Wang, what's the difference in canonizing the mountain god this time?" Zhang Zichuan cupped his hands with a very good attitude.
"Hehe, Master Zhang is a smart man. He must have never canonized such a natural god before, right?"
Eunuch Wang smiled, and then sighed: "This is a hard job. If we can't complete it, our family and the adults will suffer..."
"Please give me some advice, father-in-law..."
Zhang Zichun saluted and stuffed a gold ingot from his sleeve.
This gold ingot looks bright and golden, but it is actually made up of incense. It is Shinto incense money!
With Zhang Zi Chun Zheng, the fifth-grade city god, I don’t know how long it will take to save up to have such a piece of money.
Eunuch Wang accepted it, suddenly smiled brightly, and said: "Most of these natural gods are unruly and do not want to be canonized by the imperial court... Why? In fact, they are innate with spirits, and they know that they have entered the Taoist system and accepted the Taoism.
It’s harmful and useless!”
"ah?!"
This was the first time Zhang Zichun heard such secret information, and he couldn't help but bowed again: "How do you say this?"
"We, mortal bodies, cannot be canonized, and we are not gods, so that's it..." Wang Gonggong said: "The natural gods are gods. In fact, they are not under the jurisdiction of the Taoist court. Their divine qualities are God-given, as long as the conditions are met, they can be
You can promote yourself!”
"This...this is such a treason and treason!" Zhang Zichun didn't know whether he was envious or jealous, but his face was full of anger.
Such behavior is equivalent to your own promotion before the Taoist decree is issued. Isn't this rebellion? Where is the law of kings and Taoism?
"Lord Zhang is really a loyal minister... Therefore, it is necessary to canonize and incorporate this kind of innate spirit into the system. The key is the Taoism. As long as he accepts the Taoism, his innate nature will be gone. Even if he rebels again in the future, he will be stripped of the Taoism.
The urn... is of no use, without the Taoist canonization, no matter what happens, it will be difficult to improve the divine level!"
Eunuch Wang smiled proudly: "For example, Mr. Panlonghu, who was quite well-established back then, was canonized... If the imperial court does not give him any grace, he will be like this for the rest of his life."
"What should we do specifically?" Zhang Zichun calmed down and continued to ask.
"One day I will go with you to see the mountain god and give him the third-grade 'Taishang Daoting Da Cave Treasure'... As long as he accepts the order, everything will be fine. Such natural gods are often ignorant and can coax and deceive at will.
Lie, scare me... and I will obey." Eunuch Wang smiled and said: "Don't think that the rank given is high, no matter how high it is, you are still a minister of the emperor, aren't you? Once the status of king and minister is determined, hehe, then
It means that if you have great righteousness, no matter how difficult it is to resist, even if the lawsuit goes to heaven, we will be responsible..."
