Chapter 20: Shinto incense

In this world, the cultivation of the realm is a master in the cultivation world, and it is rare. And the Heavenly Realm's Void Refining Great Masters are even more rare.

As long as Feng Yuan is careful, with his own strength, he is enough to run rampant throughout the beam.

From an ordinary person to a realm powerhouse, Feng Yuan took less than three months.

I have to say that the Xuanyin Soul Refining Dafa accounts for a large reason.

Now, in order to continue to improve his strength, Feng Yuan also has to shift his attention from Jiulong Mountain and put it in the various state capitals south of the Great River.

The closest of these are Yeosu, Linchuan and Jinhua.

The war and chaos killed hundreds of thousands of people in the four prefectures, and these people died very miserably, and they lived for no reason, and they were killed by the rebels.

The more miserable the death, the easier it is to become a ghost.

At this time, in the wilderness and mountains outside the city of Sifufu, a large number of ghosts appeared, and even in broad daylight, some people heard the ghost howling of ghosts.

......

Lishui Mansion, Chenjia Village.

Chenjia Village is not far from the capital city of Lishui Prefecture, and the village, which was originally relatively stable, was plundered by officers and soldiers a month ago, and many people died.

At this time, the village was still in a mess, and many villagers' family members were killed by the rebels, which was very miserable.

Seeing that the sky was about to darken, several dark shadows loomed outside the village.

When some villagers saw the situation outside, they immediately exclaimed, causing a commotion and panic in the entire village.

"Don't panic, what are you afraid of, there is a statue of Grandpa Chenghuang, these little ghosts can't get in!"

The village chief of Chenjia Village walked out, he was old, and his forehead was still wrapped in a white cloth, and the white cloth was faintly oozing blood.

A month ago, when the rebels were looting, he was stabbed by an officer and soldier, but he luckily did not die.

The old village chief is the Dinghai Divine Needle of the whole village, and as soon as he comes out, all the villagers are like having the backbone.

"The village chief is right, with the blessing of Grandpa Chenghuang, these little ghosts can't harm people!"

"Everyone can do whatever they want, and make a mess!"

Several young men from Chenjia Village came out and dispersed the panicked crowd.

"Big Pillar, Second Pillar! Be careful tonight!"

After the crowd dispersed, the old village chief's face was slightly gloomy, and he instructed the two young men who were the two most athletic.

"Grandpa Chenghuang's incense must not be broken! If it is broken, our entire village will definitely be targeted by those lonely souls and wild ghosts outside!

The young man known as the Great Pillar nodded.

"Village Chief, I heard people outside that Grandpa Chenghuang mainly protects the city, and it is difficult for his old man to protect the villages outside the city, so he can only invite the sacred incense of the Chenghuang Temple and use the divine incense to resist the wild ghosts......"

"But a piece of divine incense costs one or two pieces of silver! Village chief, if this continues, all the silver in our entire village will be used to buy incense, and it won't last long!"

The young man next to him, known as Erzhu, couldn't help but say.

He often drove horse-drawn carriages back and forth in Fucheng and Chenjia Village to transport goods, and he was relatively well-informed and had heard a lot of things.

For example, the divine power of the city god can only cover the city of Fu.

There are very few ghosts in the city, and even if there are, it won't be long before they will be captured by Grandpa Chenghuang.

The many villages outside the city are not evenly distributed, and the divine power of the city god cannot be extended at all, and the village can only use the sacred incense of the city god temple if it wants to block those lonely souls and wild ghosts.

A stick of incense, a tael of silver, can only protect the village for one night.

Of course, it's not that Grandpa Chenghuang and Miaozhu are greedy for money, but that the incense is not easy to make, and it also contains a little divine power of Grandpa Chenghuang, so it is sold at such a price.

If those villages and towns with rich merchants and wealthy families existed, even if they only consumed more than 300 taels of silver a year.

But for Chenjia Village, which had just been plundered by the rebels, consuming one tael of silver a day was simply a constant bleeding on the villagers of the village.

It won't be long before the villagers' remaining silver will be consumed.

"I don't know what you're talking about, don't you know?"

The old village chief was a little haggard,

"If there is no divine incense, those lonely souls and wild ghosts can't wait to eat the people of our entire village, Qiaotou Village, ten miles away, because there is no divine incense, was broken into the village by dozens of ghosts, killing most of the villagers!"

He sighed deeply, and his wrinkled face became more and more bitter.

The world is like this, and no one is having a good time!

Lishui Mansion is a little better, but it has not gone through a large-scale military disaster.

I heard that in Tianning Mansion in the north, hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers fought with rebels, breeding countless ghosts and souls.

After the war, the generals of the official army invited a lot of mages and monks, and they did more than ten days of water and land dojos without resolving the ghosts.

Now Tianning Mansion is still full of evil ghosts.

Compared with Tianning Mansion, the lives of the people of their Lishui Mansion can barely survive.

"Second brother, everyone knows what you said, if there is any other way, just say it directly, don't sell it!"

Dazhu said.

He knew his brother's character, and when he saw his look, he knew that there must be something in the other party's heart.

"Village chief, big brother!"

"I've heard from others that there is a god of the Demon Suppression Heavenly King outside, and as long as you invite the statue of this god, you can protect the safety of a village!"

"If a wild ghost breaks in, as long as you offer incense offerings, there will be Yin soldiers to catch the wild ghost immediately......"

When the old village chief heard this, his brows immediately furrowed.

"Erzhu, where did you hear the news, and what incense offerings do you want to offer?"

Erzhu hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, the village chief is not a wild god sacrifice disguised as a demon or monster, an incense offering, just a stick of sandalwood and some melons, fruits and rice!"

In this world, monks and ghosts are not too mysterious.

When Daliang was just founded, in order to deal with the demons and monsters that raged everywhere in the troubled times, he put a lot of effort into publicity.

As long as it is the village chief and squire, he basically knows that he wants to sacrifice to the little gods with the blood of boys and girls.

Most of these wild gods and prostitution sacrifices are disguised as demons and monsters.

And the gods who need normal incense and melon and fruit offerings are often some righteous gods.

For the villagers at the bottom, they rarely read and do not know which gods are officially sacrificed in the imperial court, which can only be judged by this simple method.

"Demon Suppression Heavenly King, why haven't I heard of this god's name before?"

The old village chief grabbed his beard and kept thinking.

After a while, he said: "Since this god does not need blood food sacrifices, and he is also a righteous god, in this way, wait until tomorrow, Erzhu, you go and invite the statue of this god, and Dazhu, you go and lead people to build a small temple......"

"Wait until tomorrow night, and see if this god is spiritual!"

"If it works, the whole village will worship this god in the future, and if it doesn't work, invite it out!"

The big pillar and the second pillar hurriedly should be.

For them, as long as it is a god who is effective, they will burn incense and worship, and if it is not effective, even if it is the righteous god of the court, they must be put aside.
