Chapter 712 Five Generals
Neither Taoist Tiezhu nor Zen Master Jishan had a solution that could completely resolve the resentment of the Five Gods, or in other words, there was no solution that the King of Wu could accept.
There was not even any deception involved, because what King Wu asked was how to deal with the resentful soul of the evil god, not whether it was the resentful soul of the Five-Directions God who attacked him, so Taoist Tiezhu and Zen Master Jishan did not lie.
It was useless to seek help from such a righteous master, so the King of Wu had to summon Ma Qingji again to seek a secret remedy to cure his illness.
Accompanying Ma Qingji was Prince Linchuan. As one of the few people who knew the situation, he had the right to offer suggestions.
Ma Qingji saw the King of Wu's face and knew that he had no other options, so when the King of Wu asked, he did not shirk responsibility and said, "Since we established our own sect in Xima Mountain, our master was not smart enough and could only take the small path instead of the big one. I don't have the ability to move mountains or fill rivers, I only have some tricks to deceive people and bully others."
The King of Wu had no time to think about other things, and even though his prayers were not answered, he asked, "What is deceiving the heavens and what is taking advantage of the tiger's might?"
Ma Qingji said: "Hide the truth from the world, we are fulfilling our promise to them, but it does not meet their expectations. We are using the power of others to bully others, because we cannot deal with them."
King Wu said: "Please speak frankly."
Ma Qingji not only had to speak frankly, but also had to teach them how to do it.
The more he spoke, the brighter the King of Wu's eyes became. Finally, he said, "Please ask Master Ma to preside over the sacrifice!"
Ma Qingji directly refused and said, "Your Highness, after the imperial decree, they will be real gods. Your Highness is not afraid of them, but I am afraid of them. Please ask the ceremonial officer to handle it and leave me a way out."
He refused to accept, and the King of Wu could not force him. The King of Linchuan was still trying to subdue him, and he did not want him to become the target of public criticism, so he stepped forward and advised: "Sacrificial ceremonies have always been presided over by either the ritual officials or the Chongming Pavilion. If Master Ma shows up, I'm afraid it won't be appropriate."
The King of Wu thought for a moment and said, "Then please give me some advice so as not to ruin the sacrifice."
Ma Qingji then agreed: "No problem."
That night, Ma Qingji guarded the King of Wu's bedroom again. After nightfall, Wu Tong really appeared in his dream to force the King of Wu.
The King of Wu was sweating profusely in his dream, but he was stammering and unable to speak in his haze.
It was Ma Qingji who flew over with a sword, blocking the way of Wutongshen and said, "Please listen to what the prince has to say."
As it was a matter of life and death, King Wu, half asleep and half awake, finally responded: "I have prepared to offer sacrifices to the five gods. I am just waiting for the preparations for the ceremony. It will be done in three days."
The remaining light and ghostly shadow of the Five-Power God still flickered as it disappeared in King Wu's dream. Only the threatening words still replied in his dream: "If there is no sacrifice in three days, I will come to repay you!"
In this way, another peaceful night passed.
Ma Qingji secretly gave instructions and handed over all matters concerning the sacrifice to the King of Linchuan. The King of Linchuan also wanted to show his face in front of the King of Wu, so he was more than happy to do so.
All officials in Gusu took action for this sacrifice. To the outside world, this sacrifice was to pray to heaven and earth, pray for good health, and to reassure the people - after the collapse of the City God Temple, strange things often happened in the city.
Although more than half of these were caused by the evil guests of the Owl House, the number of ghosts was indeed increasing day by day.
The disadvantage of not having the protection of gods is that those demons and monsters, and even evil spirits, that were originally dealt with by gods are now out of control, so that mortals feel the crisis and fall into unknown fear.
This sacrifice came at the perfect time.
Ma Qingji did not intervene in any part of the sacrifice. The ritual officials had already developed a mature ritual for the sacrifice to heaven and earth. The Prince of Linchuan had also taken over the part of conferring the imperial edict.
Therefore, he was able to take some time out from his busy schedule to quietly observe the entire Prince Wu's Palace and the city of Gusu.
Today, Gusu City lacks a guardian deity, but this situation will not last long. The imperial edict from Emperor Daqian cannot be delivered, but the appointment of the city god of the world will not be disturbed.
Even the position of the Great City God has been vacant for a long time. In order to deal with the increasingly serious strange incidents, the King of Wu may even personally appoint the Great City God to protect Gusu from worries, but all the City Gods in the world will never accept this.
The position of City God is vacant now because there are still many concerns that have not been resolved, but the entire Gusu City is offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, which has alarmed both the upper and lower parties, and the City God of the world will be forced to make a decision.
This is actually neither good nor bad for Gong Mengbi, but it is a good thing for the people of Gusu.
The sacrifice was held outside the Changmen Gate.
The altar had already been built. The King of Wu set out from the palace, followed by all the officials and the people to welcome him. They all poured out of the Changmen Gate and began the sacrifice with grand rituals and music.
Under the guidance of the ritual officer, the King of Wu ascended the altar and presented a manifesto, paying homage to Heaven and Earth to show his concern for the people, praying for continued blessings and protection from ghosts and gods.
Afterwards, we will pay homage to the Five Mountains and pray for the prosperity of all things and peace for all species.
He once again conferred titles on ghosts and gods, placing the names of the Five Gods below those of the Five Mountains.
The ceremonial officer shouted, "Appoint King Tongfu as the Eastern Guardian General of the Ghost Gate of Mount Tai, King Tongyou as the Western Guardian General of the Ghost Gate of Mount Tai, King Tongze as the Southern Guardian General of the Ghost Gate of Mount Tai, King Tonghui as the Northern Guardian General of the Ghost Gate of Mount Tai, and King Tongji as the Middle Guardian General of the Ghost Gate of Mount Tai."
"Pray to the five generals to protect the peace of the five directions, to suppress the evil spirits, to guide the dead souls, and to adjust the yin and yang!"
The person offering the sacrifice could not see it, but Ma Qingji, who was hiding in the crowd, could clearly see the spirit of Yue Mansion appear, fall on the names of the five generals, and include them among them.
This means that the sacrifice was successful.
The King of Wu offered sacrifices with the rites of the princes, and the Yue family accepted it calmly. The causal entanglement and fate between the King of Wu and the Five Gods were indeed fulfilled one by one at this moment.
Ma Qingji laughed loudly, turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
The Five Gods, the five good brothers of the Immortal Jin Ting, have an indelible status as ghosts and gods, and will be inseparably marked with the Yue Mansion from now on.
The Five Gods are still, of course, the Five Gods, but they are more than just the Five Gods, they are also the five generals guarding the Ghost Gate of Mount Tai.
It's really wonderful.
As the saying goes, if you seek benevolence, you will get benevolence. After striving for the fruit of the righteous god, now that your wish has come true, the person behind the scenes must be even happier than Ma Qingji!
The more he thought about this, the happier Ma Qingji became. He was filled with joy and prayed for peace along with the people of Gusu.
After the sacrifice, King Linchuan followed Ma Qingji's instructions and took down the plaque of the Wutong Temple in Gusu City and replaced it with the Wulu General Temple.
Not only that, in all the places in the south of the Yangtze River under the rule of King Wu, wherever there were Wutong Temples, the plaques would be removed and replaced with Wulu General Temples.
The people's worship of Wutong God would certainly not stop, but Wutong God and the Five Generals became one from then on.
The change of priesthood and name and reality is beyond words.

——————
In the vast sky of the easternmost part, outside the four seas of China there are eight continents and four poles. The immortals live in the fairy islands in the blessed lands of caves and paradises, and are stationed above the nine heavens.
In the realm where immortals manifest their ways, under the silence of the ancient gods, the five continents and myriad worlds are sanctified, and all spirits enjoy the protection of the gods and immortals and ascend to the kingdom of the immortals.
Under these two days of conflicting circumstances, Chu Tai began his own path of cultivation...
