Chapter 1063
In the southern suburb of Sien County, Zhenwu Temple.
Now the main temples in Dongsheng Shenzhou are the Jade Emperor Temple, Laojun Temple and Nuwa Temple.
After the Ming Dynasty unified Dongsheng Shenzhou, the Jade Emperor, the Supreme Lord, and the Nuwa Empress were listed as the orthodox sacrifices of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang even wrote them into the "Emperor Ming Zu Xun".
That is to say, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty after Zhu Yuanzhang must use the three gods of the Jade Emperor, the Supreme Lord, and the Empress Nuwa as the main gods of the national ceremony, and the second accompanying god is the "Zhenwu Emperor".
At the same time, the "Emperor Ming Zu Xun" stipulates that if the emperor of the Ming Dynasty never sacrificed to the gods above after he ascended the throne, then the kings can "abolish the emperor".
For this aspect, Zhu Yuanzhang can spend a lot of money, and has learned a lot of experience and lessons from the last Ming Dynasty, the first is the lesson of Jing Nan.
From the weather of the Ming Dynasty this time, it can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang actually does not dislike Jing Nan. After all, no matter how much his descendants fight for the throne, this country is always in the hands of the person surnamed Zhu.
Moreover, the establishment of the Ming Dynasty was hard-won this time, and it was entirely due to the grace and help of the heavens and the gods. That's why Zhu Yuanzhang made such a strong rule and clearly told his successors: If you don't respect these respected gods, you will be punished everywhere. The princes and kings in the world will take the "Emperor Ming Zu Xun", bring thousands of troops, and come to Beijing with swords to argue with you.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang also learned the lessons of the last Ming Dynasty vassal king. Zhu Yuanzhang established the border guard system of princes and kings, that is, set up a "frontier army" on the border of the Ming Dynasty. The number of frontier troops was about [-]. Ruled by princes and kings.
However, the princes and kings guarding the border only inherited three generations. After the death of the third generation of princes and kings, this line will no longer be hereditary. The court will find a place to move your whole family to become a rich man in the countryside, and the new princes and kings guarding the border will come from the clan. Select and appoint talented princes.
Of course, you can only become a vassal king if you are selected by the court as the commander-in-chief of the frontier army. Otherwise, except for the prince, no matter how noble the other clans are, they will only give you the title of prince or princess of the Ming Dynasty, and will not give you any power. And the royal family supports you until you are 20 years old, you can go out to make a living by yourself, you can do whatever you want in the 360 line, you can take the imperial examination and become an official, as long as you have the ability.
So this created a strange scene. The sixth prince who is the most beloved by the emperor today needs to be virtuous, capable and talented, and the emperor likes the emperor.
But because he is not the eldest son, he can't be the prince, so he can only make a living when he is an adult.
So the sixth prince found a job as a lecturer in a private school in the capital, and while giving lectures to make money to subsidize his family, he was preparing to take the imperial examination.
And the interpersonal communication on weekdays is also all kinds of "uncles and brothers", such as the emperor's uncle who is a Taoist priest, the little emperor's uncle who runs a zoo, the fourth grandfather who runs a pharmacy, and the emperor's brother who does carpentry for others, etc.
In short, there are some people with the surname Zhu in all walks of life in the Ming Dynasty, and any one of these people may be a relative of the current emperor.
These imperial relatives who make a living in all walks of life in the Ming Dynasty are still living the lives of ordinary people today, and they may not wash their faces when they wake up early in the morning. Jin Yiwei suddenly came to the door and put a piece of edict into his arms He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Your Royal Highness, His Majesty the Emperor and the ministers have decided to let you be the commander-in-chief of the 'so-and-so frontier army' after being selected, and you will be given the title of king. Your Majesty, the chariots and horses are ready, go to the palace to thank you, and then bring your family to the frontier to take up your post."
All of the above are scenes that have happened countless times in the imperial palace, the court and the market of the Ming Dynasty.To achieve the above, you must always maintain a strong central court, otherwise, the princes and kings who have been hereditary for three generations will be withdrawn with an imperial decree, and turmoil will definitely occur.However, this system has gone through hundreds of years of precipitation and has formed a complete set of rules and regulations, so now there will be no major disturbances in the rotation of princes and kings in various places.
Now back to the topic, Fang Jian took Le Qi and Hei Haier to the Zhenwu Temple in the southern suburb of Sien County. The reason why he came to the Zhenwu Temple was not to find the Emperor Zhenwu, but to find the God of Earth outside the Temple of the Zhenwu Emperor.
In general, the temples of the gods of the earth are rarely built alone in one place, and there are cases where the temples of the earth are built alone, but not many.
Many earth temples are built outside some Taoist temples. For example, outside the Zhenwu Temple in front of you, there is a small earth temple.
The three of Fang Jian disappeared and came to the Earth Temple, and then Fang Jian pinched a summoning formula.
I saw a white mist rising in front of the earth temple, and a little old man holding a peach stick appeared in front of Fang Jian. This little old man was the land god here.
The land god was startled when he saw Fang Jian, because he was an immortal official, and he could see the golden fairy light above Fang Jian's head at a glance, so he immediately bowed his head and said: "The little god pays homage to the Shangxian, but I don't know that the Shangxian summoned him." , what are your orders?"
Fang Jian said with a smile: "Pindao came to Nanshanpo to pay homage to a friend who died 700 years ago, but Pindao can't find her tomb anymore, so I want to ask the land god to help me find it."
Upon hearing the words, the God of Earth immediately said: "This is a trivial matter, and the little God is willing to help."
As he spoke, the God of Land took out the land book and asked Fang Jian, "700 years ago? Is there an exact date?"
Fang Jian said: "To be precise, it was 720 years ago."
Le Qi, who heard this from the side, suddenly looked at Fang Jian, with a trace of doubt on her face, and then she heard the land god ask: "Shangxian, what is the name of your old friend?"
Fang Jian smiled and said, "Le Rong."
Hearing this, Le Qi was as if struck by lightning. She instantly widened her eyes and looked at Fang Jian in disbelief. 720 years ago was the year her sister Le Rong left her.
But the old man Le Rong that Fang Jian wanted to investigate was buried in a mass grave. Could it be a coincidence?Is it someone with the same name?
Le Qi looked at the land god beside her again. Although she thought it was just a coincidence, a strong melancholy was spreading in her heart for some reason.
With the clear time and name coordinates, the God of Land quickly found out, "Yes, Shangxian, your old friend named Le Rong died of illness on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month 720 years ago, at the age of 14."
"What?" Le Qi finally couldn't help it when she heard this. Her sister Le Rong left her when she was also 14 years old, and it was also on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month. It would be too outrageous to say it was a coincidence.
So Le Qi immediately asked the land god: "Land god, can you see other things about this Le Rong? For example, what relatives does she have?"
"Dear ones?" The God of Earth took a closer look, and then said: "Yes, her parents died when she was ten years old, and she also has a younger sister who is one year younger than her, named Le Qi, huh? Le Qi is still a monk now."
Le Qi was stunned when she heard this, and then she suddenly limp and fell backwards, but was supported by Hei Haier, who had quick eyes and quick hands.
"Impossible, impossible," Le Qi murmured, "She obviously left me after finding a good family. How could she die of illness? She was obviously fine that night. How could she die of illness?"
Hearing Le Qi muttering to himself, the land god was startled for a moment, then looked at Le Qi with a frown, checked the land book again, and finally said suddenly: "Huh? It's you? Are you her sister Le Qi?"
At this time, Le Qi suddenly looked at Fang Jian, and then asked, "Old Immortal, you must know something? Don't you?"
Fang Jian nodded and said, "Not bad."
"Please tell me why my sister died?" Le Qi suddenly knelt on the ground and asked Fang Jian.
Fang Jian ordered Hei Haier to help Le Qi up, and then told her the whole story of Le Rong's death.
After Le Qi finished listening, the whole person was crying into tears, crying heartbroken, crying heartbreakingly.
Then she suddenly stood up from the ground, and then turned into a flash of spiritual light and flew towards the south hillside.
Fang Jian watched Le Qi leave, turned around and cupped his hands at the God of the Land, and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your kindness, as a reward." Then he handed a small bag of Jade Jade to the God of the Land.
The God of Earth hurriedly returned the gift, and said that there is no need to thank Fang Jian for his hard work, and would not accept Fang Jian Jieyu.
Then Fang Jian said with a smile: "The five hundred robbery jades, please be sure to accept the land god."
The God of Earth was stunned for a moment, then quickly reached out to take the pouch and said, "Shangxian is too polite. If Shangxian still needs to investigate, please come to Xiaoshen."
"Okay." Fang Jian nodded and smiled, and then he asked the land god where Le Rong's bones were buried, and then left Zhenwu Temple with Hei Hai'er.
When Fang Jian and Hei Haier came to the south hillside, they happened to see Le Qi scurrying all over the hillside, crying and shouting, "Sister, where are you?"
Three days later, the southern hillside that had been deserted for hundreds of years suddenly became lively again.
Le Qi hired hundreds of mortals from Sien County to clean up all the bones from the mass grave on Nanshanpo. Those whose identities could be identified were buried separately and erected monuments, while those whose identities could not be identified were buried together in a Unknown Monument Memorial.
The skeleton of Le Qi's sister, Le Rong, was also found. It was a very small skeleton with severe dysplasia.
"The feng shui on the southern hillside is good." Fang Jian said, "otherwise these bones would not be preserved for 700 years."
Of course, not all the bones here are 700 years ago, there are 600 years ago, 500 years ago, even decades ago.
Le Qi is currently cleaning up her sister Le Rong's body, and then dressed her in the most expensive clothes and arranged the most luxurious funeral.
"These funerary objects are all for your sister?" Fang Jian asked looking at the gold and jade treasures, coral and emeralds, and various valuables in the tomb below.
Le Qi nodded, "Yes."
Fang Jian said, "Then your sister may not be able to sleep well."
"Why?" Leo asked, turning his head.
Fang Jian didn't answer, Hei Haier beside him said, "Because there are tomb robbers."
Hearing this, Le Qi stood up, then pointed to the tomb below and said: "The outermost layer of the entire tomb is an outer coffin composed of six [-]-jin stone slabs, and the inner layer is a white jade sarcophagus, and I will put my sister's bones in it." After that, I will use my power to seal all the white jade sarcophagus and the outer sarcophagus. Not to mention tomb robbers, monks below the Baodan state will not be able to break the seal on the white jade sarcophagus."
"Then let me give you another suggestion." Fang Jian said: "Just seal the outer sarcophagus and the inner white jade sarcophagus, which is enough to stop all the tomb robbers in the world, but don't use power to seal it, because you leave After the mana aura machine, those monks passing by may feel a little bit of interest after feeling the mana aura machine."
Hearing this, Le Qi suddenly realized, and then cupped his hands at Fang Jian and said, "Thank you, old god, for your guidance."
In the end, Le Rong was buried in peace, and the tomb was completed, which became the most luxurious and gorgeous tomb in Si'en County. Le Qi also invited ten tomb guards, and gave each of them 100 taels of silver to settle down on the southern slope of the mountain every year. To guard Le Rong's tomb.
But after all this, Le Qi is not satisfied, she has one more thing to do.
"You want to find your sister's reincarnation?" Fang Jian looked at Le Qi and said.
Le Qi nodded and said, "Yes, I want to repay her kindness, and I will find her reincarnated body to repay her kindness."
Speaking of this, Le Qi looked at Fang Jian seriously and said, "Old Immortal, I now know that paying homage to the deceased is just an excuse. Are you here to enlighten me? If it weren't for you, I would never know about my sister. I will never know that I owe such a great debt of kindness in the world."
Hearing the words, Fang Jian immediately burst into a 'hahaha' laugh, and then looked at Le Qi with a pair of star eyes and said, "I won't hide it from you now, I am an immortal official of the Heavenly Court. You, Le Qi, after you finish repaying your kindness, you will automatically descend into an immortal thunder calamity, I hope you will take care of yourself."
When Le Qi heard this, the original melancholy temperament was swept away in an instant, and she laughed, just like the carefree, innocent and cheerful smile of childhood.
Half of her melancholic temperament stems from her belief that her sister abandoned her and left her, but now the truth is revealed, she knows that she owes her sister, and her only goal now is to repay her kindness, so naturally she is no longer melancholy.
Then Le Qi knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to Fang Jian and said, "Thank you, old god, for your guidance."
Time flies, I don’t know how long it has passed, in a small village in Dongsheng Shenzhou, a little girl about seven years old came back from playing with her friends. When she came back to her house, she suddenly saw a cute three-legged The puppy is lying in front of their house.
The puppy looked at her with big teary eyes, the little girl was stunned for a moment, but soon she ran forward and picked up the puppy carefully, "Oh, what a poor puppy, one leg is broken Woolen cloth."
"Whose puppy are you?" the little girl asked.
The puppy shook his head, then raised his left leg and pointed to the little girl's home. The little girl said, "You don't have a home? Do you want to live in our home?"
The little dog nodded, and the little girl was overjoyed immediately, and said, "Great, I like dogs the most. You can live in our house from now on."
After finishing speaking, the little girl carried the puppy into the house, and the moment the puppy entered the house, it raised its head and looked up at the sky.
Above the sky, the white clouds were thick, and Fang Jian and Hei Haier stood on the clouds, watching Le Rong's reincarnated body carry Le Qi's transformed puppy into the house. Fang Jian gave her the method of transforming Le Rong, but Can only switch between dog body and human body.
When Le Qi knew that Le Rong's reincarnated body liked keeping dogs, but her parents refused on the pretext of poor family, Le Qi did not hesitate to turn into a dog to repay her kindness, and she wanted to accompany Le Rong in her reincarnated body. By her side, to protect her for the rest of her life.
"Her elder sister was bitten to death by a dog, but she turned into a dog to repay her kindness. This...things are impermanent." Hei Haier sighed.
Fang Jian said with a smile: "There are people who can be cows and horses to repay kindness, let alone dogs? You can only afford it if you let it go. This Le Qi can become a fairy."
But what made Fang Jian even more emotional was that this Le Rong was bitten to death by a dog in one life, but he loved dogs so much in the following lives, and he seemed to be a kind person.
