Main text Chapter 15 The Way of God
As soon as Qiu Yan finished speaking, there was silence all around.
The expressions of those animals with different expressions all changed slightly, and it took a few breaths for them to recover, but there was an undercurrent surging in their hearts.
The four or five people closest to the table looked at each other.
The light in the eyes of the man with a beard gradually faded, and his thoughts turned: "The god's position is self-generated, and it can expand its legal responsibilities on its own. Even if it is not a natural god, it is at least a god who obeys the wishes of the people and canonized by public opinion. This alone is not good. A small future, but after all, he is a little god in the mountains, and his essence is to make fire and cook, and he cannot be put on the table. "
On the other hand, after listening to Qiu Yan's words, the City God who was sitting behind the table remained silent, and the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became solemn. However, as the City God spoke again, the solemnity suddenly disappeared.
"Are you saying this because you want to return to your old career?" Her words were full of doubts.
In the current situation, since Qiu Yan agreed to join the scene, she naturally had to express it. She even promised directly just now. However, Qiu Yan's words seemed to be explaining her own experience, but the focus was on the final "duty".
Make a fire to cook and ensure a safe meal?
In the eyes of Yuanning Chenghuang, this was a bit unpopular, and it didn't even attract her attention. If Qiu Yan hadn't told it seriously here, I'm afraid not many of the gods here would have remembered that such a thing existed in the world.
Qiu Yan's eyes moved slightly, taking in the reactions of many gods in the hall. His heart gradually calmed down, and he felt confident about the risky move he had just taken.
The so-called job description is of course not true. When he possessed the clay sculpture, he was already able to withstand the incense. Although his divine power was weak, he was undoubtedly a god. As for what happened further ahead, that was not the case at all. knew.
In the past eighty years, what he could feel was only within the scope of Ziyuan Mountain. Almost everything inside the mountain was understood by him through the method of divine hearing. Naturally, he understood that his divine status and legal duties were all placed here. On this mountain, the so-called "making fire to cook" is naturally a fabrication.
However, this was not a random talk, but Qiu Yan's calculated plan.
A few days ago, he came into contact with Chenghuang and the land south of the city, and learned some things about Shinto from his mouth, and learned about the concept of innate gods. Later, he got the booklet that introduced the way of life, which gave him some information about Shinto. Have your own understanding.
Now, the monsters are attacking, and the clone is weak and vulnerable. The only support is the god himself, but the strength of the god is there. Although he is a seventh-grade mountain god, his divine power is weak. After leaving the foundation of Liyuan Mountain, he can't even There is no source of incense and one less star of divine power. If you rely on this to fight monsters, not to mention the scholar's clone, I'm afraid even the real person will be trapped in it.
"When I left Yuanyuan Mountain, I had used my divine power to erase all possible traces. But now it seems that it is still difficult to hinder the pursuit. The monsters are chasing me with bad intentions. Even if I leave Yuanning City and escape again, It is only a matter of time before he is overtaken. When the time comes, the clone's strength will not be able to withstand it. If you run away, you will inevitably lose your body in the end. But if you delay for a while and stand up to resist, the worst case scenario is nothing. It’s just losing the flesh and blood clone. In that case, what is there to hesitate about?”
He looked at the city god in front of him, and his plan became clearer.
"What I rely on now is that I am a god, but what I can use is not my own divine power, but the help brought by this identity. It is very likely that there is no Kitchen God in this world. This is an opportunity. The Kitchen God seems weak and can be easily manipulated by others. It is ignored, but it is everywhere. Once it is developed, there is no need to worry about the power of incense and cooking. Besides, the duties of making fire and cooking will not conflict with the duties of other gods, and it can also prevent the tree from attracting wind. "
After arriving at his uncle's house in Yuanning City, Qiu Yan went out early and returned home three days ago. He seemed to be wandering, but in fact it was not just a wandering, but a purposeful exploration and understanding, not only to become familiar with the life and folk customs of this world, I am also trying to find a way forward through Shinto.
Being trapped in the temple for decades not only sharpened Qiu Yan's mind, but also made him deeply aware of one thing -
The way of God is inseparable from the way of humanity.
If no one worships, believes in, or worships a god, then even if the god can exist, he will still survive. If there is a slight storm, there is a risk of overturning. Just like this time, Qiu Yan was forced to leave because of a group of monsters. The foundation is in crisis.
Therefore, in order to ensure invincibility, one must first have sufficient incense and wish power to support the god, so that it can remain invincible. And if you want incense, someone must worship and worship.
After three days of investigation, Qiu Yan realized that in this world, Shintoism was prosperous, and there were gods three feet above the head. The people already had the habit of worshiping gods. What Qiu Yan had to do was to let his name be known to more people. You know, after this, people will naturally come to worship.
In addition to this, he also noticed one thing, that is, the types of gods.
Yuanning Mansion is governed by a single government, and its humanities are much better than Qingchang County. The types of gods are also complex and diverse. In addition to the capital city god who is above the ordinary city gods, there are four major lands in the four directions of the city, and each neighborhood There are also scattered small statues of earth gods, and there are even more various wandering gods, gods' servants, and gods' servants.
Qiu Yan had heard of most of the names of these gods and earthly beings in his previous life. The world in his previous life was technologically advanced and attributed all supernatural forces to cows, demons and snake gods. However, the corresponding legends have not diminished. Many of the names of the earthly beings are household names, such as City God, Land is two of them.
But among them, what caught his attention was another god who was known to many people in the previous life. In this world, at least in Yuanning City, few people knew about it.
This is the Kitchen God, the Kitchen King.
The Kitchen God is no small deity. Although his name contains "Zao" and his duties are related to the kitchen stove, in Qiu Yan's previous life, he was a protective god with the ability to control the fortunes and misfortunes of a family.
This kind of deity was unknown to anyone in Yuanning City, which naturally made Qiu Yan concerned. After many investigations, he finally confirmed that there was no worship of the Kitchen God in this city.
Food is the most important thing for the people. What else is more closely related to the people than eating and cooking?
"If we can start from this aspect, at least we won't have to worry about incense in the future, and there will be room for improvement."
Based on this idea, and after speculating on the characteristics of the innate gods, Qiu Yan revealed the original "Dharma" at this time.
Noticing the vague meaning of Qiu's words, Yuanning City God pondered for a moment and nodded: "That's fine, you can still be the judge of the gods and take charge of the kitchen fires in Yuanning City, and you can be considered independent. If you are interested in the source of incense, you may wish to entrust people with dreams and guide the people to build a statue as soon as possible. "
After saying this, the City God raised his hand, and green light flashed in his hand, condensing into a square seal with the city behind it.
build!
This seal fell out of thin air, and the whole body was shaken. The screen behind the city god changed, and the people came out in droves, gathered under the seal, condensed, and turned into a row of characters in seal characters——
"I hereby order the God of Mount Ziyuan to be the judge of the City God of Yuanning, and to be in charge of the kitchen fires in the city!"
This column of characters was suspended in the air, and the characters were clear. However, they were not fonts circulated in the world, but were composed of complex lines. As soon as they were formed, they flew towards Qiu Yan, one by one, passing through the body and landing on Qiu Yan's body with white light shining. In the divine body, the core talisman rotates.
Qiu Yan suddenly felt his consciousness stagnant, and his mind seemed to be pulled away from his body by a strong force, and he flew towards the screen!
In the screen, the surging power of the people's wishes came towards his face, like a strong wind, which actually caused a stinging feeling in Qiu Yan's consciousness.
The next moment, within the body, around the core talisman, a few divine stars suddenly shined brightly!
There are mysterious fluctuations gathering between heaven and earth.
