Chapter 592 The Shinto System
outside the palace.

Sui Nanguo stood in front of the palace gate with a worried face, pacing back and forth full of anxiety.

"Commander Zheng, please inform the old man again, and say that the old man has come to plead guilty."

He looked at Zheng Lun standing in front of the palace gate, and said eagerly.

Zheng Lun and Chen Qi are the commanders of the guards in the palace. They lead the crow soldiers and the flying tiger soldiers to take turns on duty.

"Senior, don't be anxious. I've sent someone to pass it on. I believe there will be a reply soon." Zheng Lun looked at him with some surprise.

When they were in Xijing City before, Sui Nanguo was the city god of Xijing City, and he was the commander of the Imperial Palace's guards, and they often dealt with each other, and the two were considered acquaintances.

And since Dali's imperial capital moved to Tiandu City, Sui Nanguo also followed him. Apart from being a god, he was also a worshiper of Xiantailou, so there was no problem in following him.

Zheng Ming had never asked about it before, so the hall of worship naturally ignored him.

Speaking of which, he is quite a special existence in Dali.

Except for Zheng Ming, no one can control him.

Because of this, he lived very comfortably in Tiandu City these years.

Zheng Lun didn't understand why Sui Nanguo became so nervous and uneasy today.

Naturally, he would not feel the uneasiness in Sui Nanguo's heart.

The god position was taken away, and it was a disaster for the gods.

Although Sui Nanguo is still the mountain god of Lingyuan Mountain without the seat of the City God, he needs to find out why the seat was taken away.

Otherwise, how can he feel at ease?

While Sui Nanguo was waiting anxiously, Xiao Fuzi walked out of the palace.

"My lord, Your Majesty summoned you." Xiao Fuzi also looked at Sui Nanguo helplessly.

I told you that the taking of the god position is temporary, are you still so worried?

Before Zheng Ming told him to tell Sui Nanguo, he naturally didn't dare to be lazy and said everything that needed to be said, but Sui Nanguo was still panicked, and there was nothing he could do.

"Please trouble Eunuch Fu." Sui Nanguo showed a smile uglier than crying.

Today is not what it used to be.

There were two gods in the past, especially Lingyuan Mountain was a solid line of defense for Dali.

But now that the Celestial Dynasty has long since collapsed, and Dali has unified the entire Northwest Territory, his solid line of defense is useless.

Moreover, Dali is now as strong as a cloud, if Zheng Ming wants to let go of the grind and kill the donkey, he has no ability to resist at all.

"Let's go, God Venerable, don't worry. Although I don't know His Majesty's intentions, I know that His Majesty has not disliked God Venerable." Xiao Fuzi comforted.

Hearing the words, Sui Nanguo immediately felt a lot more at ease.

He definitely wouldn't believe what other people said, but he had to believe what Xiao Fuzi said.

After a while, Xiao Fuzi came to the door of Zheng Ming's study.

in the library.

Zheng Ming was sitting in front of the window. The blue and white jade tree outside the window was blooming with snow-white flowers. With a gentle breeze, a few snow-white petals floated into the study and landed on Zheng Ming's body.

Seeing Zheng Ming's figure, Sui Nanguo's heart trembled.

"Old Sui Nanguo pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Today's Li Huang is not the previous Li Huang.

In the past, he could challenge Zheng Ming and play tricks, but now that he has eight guts, he doesn't dare to say a word of disrespect.

"Excuse me, come and sit down." Zheng Ming said with a light smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Sui Nanguo respectfully sat on the chair opposite Zheng Ming.

Seeing his uneasy look, Zheng Ming couldn't help feeling a little funny.

At the beginning, this old guy was very tough, and he had to use many means to succumb.

I didn't expect this guy to become so honest now.

"You don't have to worry about the god position, I will return it to you later."

"You don't need to worry about Xijing City, it will be in Tiandu City from now on."

Zheng Ming said.

Sui Nanguo's eyes lit up, and he said quickly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En."

At this moment, the uneasiness in his heart finally calmed down.

Zheng Ming knocked on the table, and said again: "I will consecrate many gods next, and I need you to prepare for something."

"Your Majesty, please give me instructions." Sui Nanguo said.

"I plan to build a complete Town God's Temple in Tiandu City, which will be responsible for the yin and yang affairs of Tiandu City, and will use this as a sample to promote it to all counties and prefectures in the future."

"At that time, you, as the City God, will be responsible for coordinating the affairs of the entire City God's Mansion, and you will also have to communicate with the Jingzhao Mansion. You can negotiate and handle some matters."

Zheng Ming explained.

The City God Temple is not just a city god, it has civil and military judges, the gods of each department, the six generals, the gods of day and night, and the gods of various lands.

The City God also has Liao Zuo divisions, and the configuration of each division is different according to the size of the City God Temple.

There are three divisions, six divisions, and even twenty-four divisions or thirty-six divisions, with the division of Yin and Yang as the head of the divisions.The Department of Yin and Yang is the first assistant official of the City God, who coordinates the various departments and supervises the cases before reporting to the City God and so on.

In short, the Town God's Temple is actually more like a government office.It is in charge of the underworld, suppressing plagues, inspecting the Yin and Yang realms, punishing the wicked, suppressing ghosts, and so on.

Chenghuang is more like a feudal official in the underworld, rather than a simple god.

Since Zheng Ming wanted to create a Shinto system, he naturally had to arrange it according to the Shinto system.

This involves many things, such as the division of responsibilities between Jingzhao Mansion and Chenghuang Temple.

In principle, the Jingzhao Mansion should be in charge of the living, and the Chenghuang Temple should be in charge of the undead.But mutual communication is still very necessary.

For example, the problem of patrolling, a group of ghosts and gods ran to patrol the streets in broad daylight, and it was not impossible for them to be captured by the Yamen servants of Jingzhao Mansion as evil spirits.

Ghosts and gods are indeed powerful, but the servants of Jingzhao Mansion are not vegetarians, and there is also a city defense army in Tiandu City.

After hearing Zheng Ming's words, Sui Nanguo was a little confused.

"I don't know the exact scale of the Town God's Temple His Majesty mentioned?" he asked.

In the fairy land, the gods can also get some ghosts as their attendants, and even distribute part of their divine power to the ghosts, making the ghosts become wild gods with supernatural powers but no gods.

But to say that it is an institutional City God's Temple, Sui Nanguo did not have an overall concept.

Zheng Ming said: "How about the specifics? I will make a detailed policy in a few days, and you will know when the time comes."

"Now you go back and wait. Learn about the situation in Jingzhao Mansion in advance. I will summon you again in a few days."

Sui Nanguo got up in a daze and left.

He didn't understand what kind of Town God's Temple Zheng Ming wanted to build, but since Zheng Ming told him to go back and wait, he had no choice but to go back first.

After he left, Zheng Ming thought for a while, and told Xiao Fuzi: "Go to the Governor's Mansion to ask for a list of the soldiers who died this time, select the most outstanding soldiers from them, and then go to the underworld to collect the names of these soldiers. Find the souls of the dead."

The Shinto system requires a large number of ghosts and gods. If there are no hundreds of thousands of ghosts and gods in a City God's Temple with a population of tens of millions, it will be too simple.

Of course, ghosts and gods are also different from ghosts and gods. For example, in Sui Nanguo, they are real gods who hold the power of the gods, while other ghosts and gods in the Temple of the City God are only the servants of the City God.

This is the first time for Dali to build a Town God's Temple, so Zheng Ming has to arrange it himself. When the Town God's Temple in Tiandu City is on the right track, Zheng Ming only needs to confer the title of a City God, and the rest will naturally be handled by the City God.

A few days later.

Xiao Fuzi selected more than 300 dead souls from the underworld. These dead souls were Dali's soldiers before they were alive.

Before they were alive, their cultivation bases were between the Great Master and the Ming Dao Realm. Now that they have become dead souls, they have become in a state of ignorance. If they cannot awaken their spiritual consciousness in the future, they can only dissipate and turn into ghost spirits in the underworld.

Zheng Ming picked them out and sealed them as gods, giving them a chance to be reborn.

……

In the dead of night, the moon is in the sky, the stars are dotted, and the evening wind is blowing, bringing bursts of coolness.

In the front hall of the imperial palace, Zheng Ming stood in front of the gate, looking at the dark shadow in front of him.

Xiao Fuzi and Jinxian stood quietly on both sides of him, and Sui Nanguo looked at the group of dead souls behind him suspiciously.

He is very clear about the existence of the underworld. After all, he was the City God of Xijing City before. Sometimes he was responsible for transporting the souls of the dead to the underworld. Although he had never entered the underworld, he knew that Zheng Ming had a cave that could accommodate the souls of the dead. .

But he didn't understand why Zheng Ming wanted to get these dead souls out.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought about Zheng Ming's deification of gods, but he didn't think these dead souls could be deified as gods.

There are three conditions for the emperor to enshrine the gods, the first is to have merits and virtues before the body, the second is to be enshrined by the people after death, and the gods are condensed, and the third is the emperor to use the imperial fortune.

These dead souls had no merits and virtues during their lifetime. Although they entered Dali's Hall of Heroic Souls after death and were worshiped by all people, they did not condense their divine bodies.

If the first two conditions are not met, how can it be possible to designate him as a god?
In fact, this is the power of the list of gods. The list of gods has changed the rules of conferring gods in this world. As long as Zheng Ming is willing, as long as he has enough luck, he can confer whoever he wants as a god.

Looking at these ignorant dead souls, Zheng Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Desk!"

he said softly.

Hearing this, Xiao Fuzi immediately called the little eunuch who was waiting by the side to move the desk.

Sitting at the desk, Zheng Ming slowly unfolded the list of gods to find out the corresponding gods in the Town God's Temple.

Afterwards, he waved his hand slightly.

Jinxian understood immediately, and said, "Sui Nanguo and all the souls of the dead came forward to accept the seal!"

Sui Nanguo's expression changed, and he immediately stepped forward and bowed down in front of Zheng Ming.

But the souls of the dead behind him were in a state of ignorance, just drifting unconsciously in front of the temple without any movement.

Zheng Ming raised his head and glanced at the souls of the dead, but he didn't pay attention. He held a vermilion pen and pointed towards Sui Nanguo lightly, and then a ray of light flew out from Sui Nanguo's forehead and entered the list of gods.

In an instant, a piece of golden light bloomed on the list of gods.

Under the brilliance, Zheng Ming wrote Sui Nanguo's name on it.

That aura is the true spirit of Sui Nanguo, and the entry of spiritual consciousness into the list of gods means that from now on, the life and death of Sui Nanguo will be completely controlled by the list of gods.

At the same time, it also means that Sui Nanguo has been recognized by the list of gods and has become a god conferred by Zheng Ming.
