I have a chat group.

Chapter 255: Mazu with 5000 temples is not scary, what is scary is Guan Yu with temples

"I will abide by the laws of this era. From ancient times to the present, Mo Niang has never seen such an era. Even in the prosperous times of ancient times, the rich and powerful were not as good as the common people today. This era is truly prosperous."

Lin Mo Niang was born in 960 AD, the year when Zhao Kuangyin was crowned emperor.

Although the Song Dynasty was not good at external affairs, it was good at domestic affairs. The Song Dynasty had always been very prosperous. The urban middle class was formed in the Song Dynasty. It was also the Song Dynasty that had the first city with a permanent population of over one million, Tokyo Bianliang.

So Lin Mo Niang has seen the most prosperous era in the world. At least before the arrival of modern times, that era was the most prosperous era. No matter what happened in the Ming and Qing dynasties that followed, they were not as prosperous as the Song Dynasty in terms of economic prosperity.

But the life of the wealthy families in the Song Dynasty is just so-so in modern times, and they may not even live as well as some young dogs.

"Do you have all the memories from the Song Dynasty to the present?"

Lin Mo Niang shook her head. "It's not that I have those memories, but those who bowed to me shared their memories and consciousness with me. In the 1000 years since I became a god, everything has existed. Everything that has happened in this world, everyone who has existed on this land, they are all in my mind, so I don't know who I am. But the ID card you gave me says that I am Lin Mo. They call me Lin Mo Niang, and some call me Mazu Niangniang, but who I am, I don't know!"

"You are Lin Mo Niang, who turned from a human into a deity, and you are also the Goddess Mazu. There is nothing wrong with that. Your faith is spread all over Southeast Asia, and many people are worshipping you and praying that you can protect them."

Gao Wenfeng looked outside again. "It's like they prayed to the Great Daoist, hoping that he would protect them from all diseases. He should have appeared too, right?"

"Da Dao Gong! He showed up, but I don't like him. It may be because of the worship of our respective followers. I don't like him, and he doesn't like me either. I really don't know who spread the rumor that I actually had a love affair with that little brat. Isn't this nonsense!"

Lin Mo Niang's forehead was bulging with veins. "I was born in 960, and that brat Wu Ben was born in 979. When he was born, I was already 20 years old. I have nothing to do with that brat!"

"Little brat, that guy must be over a thousand years old, right?"

Wang Ai wiped the sweat from his forehead.

This is actually a bit scary.

"More than a thousand years old? We are just known as such, but we are not really more than a thousand years old. If you really want to talk about it, I only appeared in the past six months. According to my birth time, I am only half a year old!"

When Lin Mo Niang said that she was only half a year old, everyone looked at Lin Mo Niang, who was more than 1.8 meters tall and had a queen-like makeup. Her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to those of Mazu, except that her face was an oval one.

And they are not willow-shaped eyebrows, but a pair of sword-like eyebrows that reach deep into the temples. She looks like a combination of several female stars, some like Teacher Bai, some like Zhang Rujun. In short, it is like a combination of a group of people. Her looks have some of those people's shadows, but are completely different.

"Did you develop your look naturally, or did you change it yourself?"

"I have a thousand faces for every person. As long as they are actors who have played Mazu, I look like them. Not only actors, but also those who have played Mazu in dramas, I look like them. So you think I am a combination of them, but in fact, it's just a thousand faces for every person. I am whoever you think is most like me. In recent years, the one I look most like is Teacher Bai and Zhang Rujun, so I look a bit like them!"

After Lin Mo Niang finished speaking, she picked up some snacks from her altar and started eating.

"You eat the tribute?"

Gao Wenfeng looked at this scene and didn't know what to say.

"Isn't this an offering to me? Besides, I have to give a response after eating these things, right?"

Lin Mo Niang was eating snacks there, and then she waved her hand, and a screen appeared in front of her, showing a little girl studying there.

"Look, this little girl wants to study hard and get high scores, so I gave her a focus so that she can study better. I also gave her some blessings so that her mind can be more agile. This is an equal exchange. She gives tribute and I give rewards. The money and goods are clear between us!"

Lin Mo Niang said with a smile.

"What's going on? Your abilities?"

Lin Mo Niang clapped her hands, "Isn't this the ability you gave me? I am Mazu, not just the sea god, I have many other abilities. Have you forgotten everything you gave me?"

Lin Mo Niang's own face looked ugly as well. To be honest, at the beginning, Mazu was only blessing the crew to return safely, but now Mazu was doing more than just blessing the crew.

Mazu has many other functions, which are clearly described in the Taoist classic "Taishang Laojun's Sutra on the Miraculous Effects of the Heavenly Concubine in Saving Suffering".

At that time, the Heavenly Consort heard the verse and bowed before the Heavenly Venerable Dao, and uttered the following vow:

The first vow is to save the boats and bring them to the other shore; the second vow is to protect the merchants and bring them peace and happiness;

The third is to drive away evil spirits and eliminate them forever; the fourth is to eliminate disasters and bring peace to the family;

The fifth is to search for traitors and thieves, and to hide their tracks; the sixth is to capture and execute the evildoers, and to punish the strong and stubborn;

The seventh is to save the people and protect the country, and the people will praise peace; the eighth is to forgive crimes and forgive sins, and avoid all kinds of retribution;

The ninth is to support those in difficult childbirth, ensuring the safety of mother and child; the tenth is to protect good people, preventing them from being wronged;
The eleventh is to protect the law and bring favorable weather; the twelfth is to bless and bring peace to all who have a place to return to;

The thirteenth is to cultivate learning and achieve perfection, and to have full merit and success; the fourteenth is to seek promotion to an official position and enjoy the rank and salary;
The fifteenth one is reborn in the past, and the nine are in the netherworld.

It can be said that in the area covered by the Mazu belief, Mazu can control everything.

And the scope of her influence includes 49 countries in five continents!
So Mazu is still very busy!

"I almost forgot that you are the Queen of Heaven who protects the country and the people, who is wonderful, responsive, benevolent, and blesses all living beings, who is sincere and trustworthy, who praises the gods, who blesses and brings peace and prosperity to the world, who spreads benevolence, guides the flow, celebrates peace, and protects the oceans, who is kind and generous, who protects the borders, and who is blessed by the gods!"

Lin Mo Niang was silent for a moment and then took out a pen and paper. "Can you tell me my full name again? I can't even remember it!"

"Protect the country and the people with your miraculous spirit, show your benevolence, bless all living beings, sincerely move everyone, show your divine praise, and bless you with your kindness and deep blessings. Bring peace and prosperity to the world, spread your benevolence, guide the flow, celebrate the peace of the ocean, bestow your blessings, and protect the country, protect peace, strengthen the military, and pacify the borders. Bless the Queen of Heaven!"

Gao Wenfeng once again recited the full name of Mazu in one breath. This name is not an ordinary name, but a name accepted for national sacrifice. That is to say, during national sacrifices, this is the name used. As for the names of Taoism and Buddhism, they can be used, but they are not the orthodox name of the country!

"This name is so long, even I can't remember it, how did you remember it!"

After Lin Mo Niang wrote down her title, she asked.

"Oh, I didn't remember it. I just wrote down your name that I found on the Internet."

Gao Wenfeng was honest. Who would remember this name? Here, everyone would just say Mazu Niangniang, or at most, Poseidon Niangniang or Tianfei. As for other names, no one remembered them. "Zhang Zhiwei has met Tianfei Niangniang!"

The old Taoist priest also came over at this time. When she saw Lin Mo Niang, she immediately stepped forward to pay her respects. However, she did not remember the full name of this person. She just said "Niangniang Tianfei". She was able to remember this title because she was thinking about the Taoist classic "Taishang Laojun's Scripture on the Miraculous Effects of Tianfei in Saving Suffering".

"This is the 65th Heavenly Master Zhang Zhiwei!"

"We chose him. We wanted to see if we could get in touch with you through him, but now it seems that it is not necessary!"

Gao Wenfeng's words made the old Taoist priest feel uncomfortable, because he also wanted to establish a relationship, but now he couldn't.

"Taoism did confer a title on me, but the real title belongs to the country. The official title of the country can only be confirmed by the emperor himself. To put it bluntly, those religious titles are just taking advantage. However, many of my abilities were given to me by them, such as I will split into two bodies to save people as long as they call my name. Now I have more than 5000 temples around the world, and these 5000 temples have more than 5000 avatars. If someone calls my name when they are in a shipwreck at sea, I will split into two bodies to save them. All of this is thanks to them!"

Lin Mo Niang also has complicated feelings towards Taoism. If it weren't for them, she wouldn't have these abilities.

Of course, the same is true for Buddhism. After all, Buddhism attributes the function of Guanyin to save people by calling her name to Mazu.

Then, after thousands of years of legend, all these abilities became real.

"You said you have your own clones in more than 5000 Mazu temples around the world. Is this your real body or your clone?"

When Gao Wenfeng heard about the number of more than 5000 clones, he immediately felt his scalp bursting, because he thought of another even more terrifying person. His ancestor only had more than 5000 temples, which meant more than 5000 clones, but there was another person who had more than temples. He just didn't know if that person would come back to life!

If that person came back to life, it would be such fun!

"Are you thinking about the Three Realms Demon Subduing Emperor?"

The old Taoist priest had previously checked the number of temples dedicated to the Taoist gods, and then he discovered something that made his scalp explode: the Three Realms Demon-Subduing Emperor owned more than 30,000 temples.

Now that Mazu has been resurrected and has become a real person, what about Guan Yu, the Great Emperor of Demons in the Three Realms?

What will happen to this one?

"Don't think about it. He won't appear for the time being because it's too long. He can't appear now. Moreover, he doesn't have that many true believers. We gods appear because there are people who believe in us, so we can appear. The stronger the ability, the later the appearance. My ability is not that strong, so I can appear so early. For example, Emperor Baosheng has not appeared yet, not to mention the other gods. I should be the only god who has appeared now!"

When Lin Mo Niang said these words, she held a few walnuts in her hand and crushed them directly. He still wanted to go and have a good talk with the Divine Doctor Da Dao Gong about his emotional problems with this little brat. He was obviously 20 years younger than him, but he wanted to be a couple with him. What did this mean?
"Is your appearance a gathering of incense or a support of faith?"

Gao Wenfeng wanted to know how Mazu Goddess appeared. Was it because of the incense or the faith?

"I can't explain it clearly. I can only tell you that I appeared in Shaoxing in the 26th year. However, I fell into a deep sleep as soon as I was born, and I have only woken up now."

Lin Mo Niang could only tell her own story, but she didn't know what happened in between.

"The 26th year of Shaoxing is the reign title of Emperor Gaozong of Song. Why hasn't Hu Linglong come yet?"

Gao Wenfeng wanted to know what was going on, and the only person he could ask was Hu Linglong.

Except for Hu Linglong, the other two people present were of no help at all. Wang Ai had no battle to fight, which made them feel that he was now copying the statues of various gods, preparing to paint all of them using the divine painting method, which might be of great use in the future.

At this time, the old Taoist priest saw the lots from the Mazu Temple and found that there were few bad ones, so he nodded. This is a common practice in Taoism.

There are many good fortunes in Taoism, but very few bad ones.

Because they understand that few people who come to draw lots and pray to gods want a bad lot.

Anyone who goes to ask for divination or pray to gods usually has a bad life, so if you can give them a good fortune, you should give them a good fortune in order to give them psychological comfort.

Even if you find a bad lottery ticket, you have to replace it!

The general practice is to ask someone to shake a bad lot again, and continue shaking until a good lot is drawn.

Anyway, the Taoist belief is that man can conquer nature. If God doesn't give you a good fortune, then I will give you a good fortune.

"Who is Hu Linglong?"

"She is a person of your time, a person who lived from the time of Emperor Huizong of Song. She should be familiar with your situation."

Gao Wenfeng looked at Lin Mo Niang and said, "Your situation is not right. You said that you have the memories and consciousness of those who have worshipped you for thousands of years, but you also said that you fell asleep in the 26th year of Shaoxing. How did you get these things? I need to understand these things."

"you do not believe me?"

"No, it doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. I know you are not lying. I can still tell that."

The Lord of Mount Tai is in charge of the gods, so Gao Wenfeng could feel that Lin Mo Niang was telling the truth, but he didn't understand anything else.

He is not the real Lord of Mount Tai. He just got connected with Haoli Mountain by chance and became the successor of Lord of Mount Tai, so he doesn't know much.

These extraordinary beings will not be recorded in history books!
Therefore, it is impossible to clearly describe what the situation was like before the Song Dynasty.

Longhu Mountain may have the answer, but no one can tell how much of that answer is true.

"Hu Linglong hasn't come yet. What are you worried about? Didn't the Heavenly Concubine say that the Emperor hasn't shown up yet?"

The old Taoist priest knew what Gao Wenfeng was worried about, but he felt that there was no need to worry about it.

"Mazu has only 5000 temples, but Guan Yu has temples. Mazu has clones, so how many would Guan Yu have? Moreover, he is a killing god who came down from the battlefield and took the head of a general in the midst of thousands of troops. Can you beat him?"

The old Taoist touched his neck and felt itchy.
