    (We have advanced to the main text, you will see a brand new world)

    The territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty was tens of thousands of miles away, with sixty-six states in the south and seventy-three states in the north, eight hundred small countries outside the territory, and countless overseas vassal states.

    Cultures are vastly different, customs are diverse, and even the gods enshrined are different from place to place. Names, titles, etc. have even become different things in different states.

    But there is a deity who is very interesting, that is the Goddess of Pox.

    Smallpox has always been a problem for mankind. Whether it is high-ranking officials, wealthy households, or ordinary people, children who get smallpox have a very high mortality rate.  In this regard, even if there is true energy to protect the body, a panacea, or the female mage from the Dragon Girl Palace to treat him, he can only reduce the mortality rate.

    Therefore, it is natural for the Pox God to appear, but in the sixty-three northern and southern states, as well as overseas dependent countries, the Pox God worshiped by everyone has only one form, and that is the Pox Goddess.

    "The Goddess of Acne."

    Shen Yue pointed at his nose, feeling a little weird.

    If he were a god, he would have killed the monks in Lingyin Temple long ago. Why would he listen to Yuantong's whining here?

    The failure of the spell cast just now made Yuantong a little downcast.  He steeled himself and stared at Shen Yue motionlessly.

    "Mr. Shen, there are many strange things in this world, but the most amazing thing is the theory of ghosts and gods. Whether there are ghosts or not, no one has ever seen them, but there is one in the Dragon Girl Hall. They have tens of millions of followers and have been worshiping them for hundreds of years.  Time, worship the true God.

    Since the Dragon Girl Temple can enshrine the true god, Mr. Shen, do you think that the true god cannot be enshrined in the temples of Pox that are spread all over the Zhou Dynasty and where incense is constantly flowing?  "

    "I don't know, there are many gods enshrined in the world, but now the only one who can manifest the spirit is the Water Goddess Dragon Girl. And most of the other country women are deceived by foreign races, or are foreign objects bred by the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.  ¡±

    "Mr. Shen, I wonder if you are interested in listening to a poor monk explain how to become a god."

    "Abbot Yuantong, please speak."

    Shen Yue is of course very interested. Although Abbot Yuantong is not a very good character, he is extremely famous for his erudition.

    "The Dragon Girl Hall spent hundreds of years using Shinto to enshrine the true god, and its power has greatly increased. Buddhists are puzzled by this. The Buddha and the Arhat Bodhisattvas who were enshrined enjoyed far more fireworks than the water goddess Dragon Girl, so why didn't they?  Something miraculous?

    Mr. Shen, Lingyin Temple has a history of two thousand years since its establishment.  Although it has lost its former glory, the various classics in the Sutra Pavilion are extremely rich.

    Since childhood, I have been fond of reading books, especially miscellaneous books.

    Fifteen hundred years ago, a meteorite fell from the sky to the far north, shaking thousands of miles and creating a sinkhole that was bottomless.  Some people once formed a team to explore, and found that the place where the meteorite fell was rampant with monsters and could not be entered.

    Since then, people from all walks of life have gone to investigate intermittently, but they have all returned without success.

    Until three hundred years ago, the founder of Dragon Girl Hall, twelve water mages, went deep into it.  After they got out of the sinkhole, they founded the Dragon Girl Hall.

    Mr. Shen, what did you find in it?  "

    ¡°I also had questions about this.¡±

    Shen Yue did not pretend to be stupid and said, "The Dragon Girl Temple can create a true god, why can't other organizations?"

    ??Buddhism and Taoism far surpass the Dragon Girl Temple in terms of believers, manpower and material resources. The Dragon Girl Temple was only established three hundred years ago, while Buddhism and Taoism have thousands of years of history.

    Abbot Yuantong, I believe that you have also made similar attempts, but without success.  "

    "Yes, why haven't you done it?"

    Abbot Yuantong's face showed a look of longing and regret, "If a Buddha really appears, or a Taoist ancestor appears, then the two branches of Buddhism and Taoism will naturally flourish. All kinds of arguments or differences will no longer exist in front of the true God."

    But the Dragon Girl Hall was successful, while the efforts of the Buddhist and Taoist lineages were not successful.  I have been thinking about this kind of doubt all my life, but I still don't understand why.  A year ago, I found a notebook in which a strange incident was recorded.

    Fifteen hundred years ago, when the meteorite fell, several Jianghu people were nearby.  They rushed towards the place where the meteorite fell, wanting to see what happened.

    The meteorite created a huge crater on the ground. At the bottom of the crater, he found several people in the world who had killed each other. At the same time, he found two groups of light, one green and one white.

    Soon after, the object in the light ball showed its true identity. They were two containers, one was a cyan wooden cup and the other was a jade bottle.

    Light emanates from the jade bottles and wooden cups. Around them, countless beasts gather here. Under the light, their bodies undergo drastic changes and become more and more powerful.

      Fortunately, the light became weaker and weaker, and the changes continued for a day and a night. Most of the beasts fell into a deep sleep, and the light on the cyan glass cup also disappeared without a trace.

    The Jianghu man made a quick decision and took away the wooden cup. When he wanted to get the jade purification bottle, a monster rushed towards him. He did not delay and rushed out of the sinkhole.

    He was the first person to enter the Tiankeng, and after him, no one could enter the Tiankeng.  This is an ordinary area, filled with magical beasts, and even masters are not allowed to enter.

    All this happened after more than a thousand years, until three hundred years ago, the twelve founders of the Dragon Girl Temple entered the sinkhole and came out.

    The monsters in the tiankeng slowly began to degenerate, and their numbers were no longer that large. After discovering this, people from all over the world poured into it, peeling their skins and eating their flesh. In less than thirty years, the tiankeng  Not scary anymore.  So even if Lao Na wanted to go into the sinkhole, he probably wouldn't be able to find any clues.  "

    Yuantong¡¯s last words made Shen Yue laugh.  The monsters are not scary. What is scary are the monsters that cannot be eaten, used, or processed.  Humans and Warcraft have been fighting for so many years. Those Warcraft that are labeled as tender and tender have become livestock animals. Warcraft that can greatly nourish people are searched everywhere. Only those ferocious and useless Warcraft can continue to reproduce - for the masters of the martial arts world.  For example, the family always needs food and drink, so where does the money come from?

    The fastest and most profitable way is to rob, but robbing World of Warcraft is the same as robbing the same kind, but the reputation is different.

    But the monsters in the sinkhole were able to multiply and become stronger in the following more than a thousand years, which is inseparable from the white jade purification bottle.

    "Elder Yuantong, do you think this is the key to the establishment of the Dragon Girl Temple?"

    "In the past, everyone thought that the failure to worship a true god was because there was not enough time. But after the success of the Dragon Girl Temple, everyone felt that they had overlooked something. I thought that if you want to create a true god, you first need to have a real existence to rely on. And this  Sustenance must be spiritual or inherently extraordinary.

    The Dragon Girl Temple uses the white jade purification bottle as the foundation, and countless power of faith is added to it, so that the true god can be born.  The Tathagata Buddha or Bodhisattva Arhat enshrined in Buddhism are just carved from ordinary wood, and the founder of Buddhism, from the very beginning, only followed the path of seeking others rather than seeking oneself, and did not follow the spiritual path.  "

    Abbot Yuantong didn't make it clear, but Shen Yue understood.

    The great powers who created Buddhism or Taoism have made up the appearance of gods and Buddhas all over the sky from the beginning, or the religion has changed during its spread, so there is no more fundamental one, that is, there is no real Buddha from the beginning.  Either the Taoist ancestor, or the object of his trust, cannot withstand the power of faith, and all prayers and efforts are in vain.  "

    "This is actually very good. Abbot Yuantong, placing your faith on others is a very dangerous thing in itself."

    Shen Yue feels good about this. History has long proven that only science is the last word and eternal belief.

    "It's far away, Mr. Shen, after that Jianghu man brought out the green wooden cup, he quickly flew away.

    He privately studied the cyan glass cup and found that as long as he added water to the cup, left it for a period of time, and then gave it to others to drink, it would cure diseases.

    He was so delighted that he named the wooden cup the Divine Wooden Cup, thinking it was a gift from the gods. However, what frustrated him was that the water did not help increase his internal strength.  Fortunately, he later discovered a secret. Every full moon night, the sacred wooden cup would attract moonlight, and then a cup of golden liquid would condense in it.  "

    "Has that charlatan taken it?"

    "No, he was very cautious. He gave the animals a taste first and found that there was no problem, but the animals did not become stronger. It was as if the light he saw that day that made the monsters powerful was fake. After testing it on animals, he decided to use humans to make it  Experiment. That night, he stayed in a wild place and saw a group of people praying there. "

    Having said this, Abbot Yuantong¡¯s face became a little strange.

    "It was a group of women whose children were infected with pox, so they took their children and prayed to the gods for help in the wild. Then he had an idea, put on a black robe, pretended to be the goddess of pox, and poured out the golden liquid in the cup.  , added to the water, and distributed it to the sick children. He thought that since ordinary water can cure diseases, these golden liquids should be more effective.

    A miraculous thing happened. For those children who took the liquid, the smallpox on their bodies disappeared without a trace, even the scars disappeared.  The ecstatic woman thanked him profusely and prayed and made a wish to the Goddess of Pox he made up, saying that she would build a temple to the Goddess of Pox and worship her day and night.

    After the matter was over, that night, Jianghu people had a dream??¡±
