Chapter 496 Home is gone

According to the explanation of the female disciple, the incident was initially caused by Tian Lin's preaching.

Tian Lin's teaching is that it is better to rely on oneself than on God. In Beiye County, even in Nanzhou, there have been many activities to worship Zhurong and Jumang, the four-season gods.

However, the facts have proved that these sacrificial activities are not only ineffective, but have even become the straw that breaks the camel's back for the evildoers to make money.

Therefore, as long as you master the laws of growth of all things and understand the origin of the changes in the twenty-four solar terms.

Then many things can promote the harvest and growth of grain on their own without having to pray to God.

To put it the other way around, if you don’t understand the laws of growth of all things and the connection between the solar terms and the land.

Even with the help of the Four Seasons God, food will still be wasted due to human inaction.

Many people benefited from the improvement of farm tools and the effect of small magic on farming, and naturally became interested in the study of agriculture and forestry.

In today's chaotic world, the importance of food goes without saying.

Moreover, it has long been rumored that this world has become a land abandoned by the gods after the migration of the Great Qi Dynasty.

That is to say, this place was once punished by God.

The reason why the God of Four Seasons ignored this place was entirely because of the order from heaven. From then on, there was no God of Four Seasons in this world.

The old God of the Four Seasons is gone, so is it possible to create a new God of the Four Seasons ourselves?

The disciples of the New Heaven Sect have a say on this issue.

Most of the people in the New Heaven Sect are Hwahwarang, and these Hwahwarang are from all walks of life. Moreover, the New Heaven Sect is an organization composed of a bunch of big liars.

There are many people who like to cheat here, and many people who are easily deceived.

Creating a god that people can worship is the most effective way to unite a scattered organization.

What's more, creating God by yourself is not a fantasy at all!
Since ancient times, there have been three ways to confer titles on the gods of land, mountains and rivers.

One is direct appointment by God, which can make people, animals or the dead become gods.

One is for the immortal sects and the imperial court to write a heavenly book and request the heaven to confer the title.

Another way is for common people to offer sacrifices and burn incense to pray for blessings. With the help of incense, gods can come into being from nothing.

However, the so-called gods of the third kind, although the result of the people's will, are intolerable to the imperial court and the heavenly court.

This kind of god who has not been approved by the imperial court is called an evil god just like Hwahwarang.

During the Great Qi Dynasty, this kind of evil god would be captured by the Demon-Slaying Department and the obscene temple would be destroyed.

But the Great Qi Dynasty has already moved, and this world has long been a world that the Heavenly Court no longer favors. Doesn't this mean that even if the people of this world create gods themselves, it will not be discovered by the Heavenly Court, and will not be controlled by the Great Qi Dynasty's Demon Hunting Department?

Some people in the New Heaven Sect acted as they said. Since the Four Seasons Gods such as Ju Mang and Zhu Rong ignored them, they decided to worship a Four Seasons God of their own.

In order to distinguish between gods such as Ju Mang and Zhu Rong, this group of people built a new Temple of the Four Seasons.

Although they "used local materials" to build statues according to Tian Lin's appearance and figure, and used Tian Lin's "booklet" as the "doctrine" of the new Four Gods Temple.

But when Tian Lin asked them to demolish the New Four Gods Temple, they refused:
We built a temple on the land of the Goddess Sect, but the elders of the Sect didn't care. Why are you, a disciple of the Taoist Sect, meddling in other people's business?
As for the right of portrait and copyright of doctrines and so on - in this era, whoever has the bigger fist is right.

Tian Lin's best solution was to forcibly destroy the Four Gods Temple, or to kill those believers. But not only did Monk Kong Wu disagree with killing people, but even Tian Lin himself felt that it was unnecessary.

However, demolishing the New Four Gods Temple is not as simple as it seems.

Because this new "Four Gods Religion" is not only participated by those people from the New Heaven Religion - even some of the outer and inner disciples of the Goddess Sect are believers of this Four Gods Religion.

This group of people are considered the masters of the Goddess Sect. As long as Tian Lin does not want to fall out with the Goddess Sect, he cannot forcefully move the Four Gods Temple on their territory.

"Absolutely ridiculous!"

After figuring out the whole story, the Great Elder slammed the table and said, "Doesn't our Goddess Sect have its own ancestor? You actually listened to those people from the New Heaven Sect and kowtowed to a few stone statues."

The second elder on the side was very calm:

"The fairy tree was taken away by our ancestors, and the Goddess Sect lost its fairy cave. In addition, the New Heaven Sect attacked some time ago, and the disciples in the sect were also worried. We should have stayed to comfort them, but we were busy asking about the secret realm of the Dao Sect.

At this stage, the sect disciples were all in a state of panic, so it was normal for someone to take advantage of them. After all, who told us to choose a monk as the head of the family after we left?"

The second elder spoke most of the words, blaming the first elder for acting on his own and giving up his position to Monk Kongwu.

But this was something the Great Elder had already decided.

Although Monk Kongwu was a bit stupid, he was not a malicious person. And as long as they stood on the moral high ground, Monk Kongwu could be used by them.

In addition, Monk Kongwu not only has a magical weapon, but is also related to the Little Leiyin Temple.

If the Goddess Sect wants to leave this small world in the future, it will be much easier with the help of Monk Kongwu.

"What was the Archmage doing during the time when the New Four Gods Religion was preaching?"

After the elder finished asking the question, the female disciple over there looked a little strange: "Master Kong Wufa is preaching. In addition to distributing porridge, he is also promoting Buddhism in the sect."

This sentence stunned all the elders who were drinking tea in the hall. The chief elder twitched his lips and said, "Don't tell me that half of my disciples of the Goddess Sect believe in the Four Gods Religion, and the other half believe in Buddhism, right?"

Fortunately, the female disciple shook her head. But before the elder could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the female disciple say, "Only one-third of people believe in Buddhism—"

one third?

The Goddess Sect has trained disciples for so many years, but only a small number of them still worship the founder, and the rest have either become nuns or followers of a cult?

Not to mention that if this matter were spread to others, she would find it funny even when she heard it.

"Tomorrow morning, summon all the sect disciples to the Goddess Peak. I want to pay homage to the ancestor!"

The Great Elder made a decision in an instant, but she was actually a little confused.

Now that the fairy tree has left, it is impossible for the Goddess Sect to find the Goddess Tree to practice magical powers.

It’s fine for those who originally had the Goddess Tree, but for those disciples who don’t have the Goddess Tree, what’s the point of worshiping the ancestor?

They don't have the Goddess Tree, so they can't even cultivate the magical powers of their ancestor. To them, the ancestor is just a broken statue that occupies the toilet without doing anything.

Unless the Goddess Sect can come up with a method to practice the Great Thousand Arts even without the Goddess Tree - otherwise, it will not be able to stop the disciples from believing in other doctrines and practicing other magical powers.

"Buddhism is fine, but what the hell is believing in the Four Gods?"
