The topaz statue of the inner temple of the city god was erected by the first generation of city gods in Jiazhou.

The name of Wang Chong is engraved on the official seal on the left hand of the statue, which means that Wang Chong has obtained the status of the orthodox city god, has all the jurisdiction of the city god's jurisdiction, and returns to the position of city god.

At this moment, with the authority in his hand and in the inner shrine, the entire City God Temple that Wang Chong saw was different from others.

The entire temple is like a boxy chessboard, and then there are many criss-crossing 'lines' that stretch into the unknown area in the distance.

Each of these lines represents a monk of the earth.

Wang Chong can communicate with each line, send messages, assign tasks or give guidance.

Each City God Temple is equivalent to the central institution of cultivators in a state city.

In addition to these 'lines' representing the earth-shattering monks, Wang Chong can also see some prohibitions surrounding the City God Temple. Some are like fog, some are like fences, and so on.

These are all prohibitions to prevent practitioners from trespassing, and Wang Chong can mobilize these prohibitions to suppress intruders or troublemakers, and exercise the power of the city god.

As Wang Chong lifted the ban on the temple gate, Gongsun Zhi and Zhou Tong entered together.

"Mr. Wang has already convinced Zhou Tong!" Gongsun Zhi came to the inner courtyard, and when he saw Hao Lan from a distance, he couldn't wait to shout:

"You said that if Zhou Tong can be invited, you will admit defeat! What else do you have to say now?"

Zhou Tong was also a tiger, strode to Hao Lan's side, and looked coldly: "Hao Chenghuang, now Mr. Wang has mastered the official seal of Chenghuang and returned to his position!

"Joke! Big joke!" Hao Lan's face was ugly, but he still sneered calmly:

"At most, it's just the 'Twin City God' reigning! You two wall grass clinging to Old Man Wang, it's just a draw. Monk Tanji and Lord Bo of Liuli Pavilion are all on my side!"

After speaking, Hao Lan turned her head, looked at Wang Chong resentfully, gritted her teeth and said:

"Old man Wang, don't be too happy! The 'Moon Festival' is coming, and I can still kick you out before you have achieved an inch!"

Hao Lan stretched out his finger and pressed his eyebrows, and shouted: "Immediately convene the 'Earth Demon Gathering', and let the Earth Demon Monks in Jiazhou City see who is the real City God!"

Gongsun Zhi and Zhou Tong glanced at each other, and their faces sank.

......

The underground space of the Chenghuang Inner Shrine.

This is a council hall built along with the City God Temple, hidden underground.

It is said that decades ago, a 'demon disaster' that swept through Lugang Mansion raged in all directions. It was the remnants of the Hellish Monks who relied on this underground hall to resist and survive.

At this moment, the underground chamber is brightly lit.

Wang Chong and Hao Lan sat at the first seat.

On the left and right sides of the lower head, there are two seats each. On Wang Chong's side are Gongsun Zhi and Zhou Tong, while Hao Lan's side is a monk with a round head and big ears, and a young Confucian scholar.

The monk is about forty years old, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, thick lips and big mouth, and always seems to be smiling. But those who are familiar with it know that the monk Tanji is ruthless, and he is a hot hand figure who does not recognize his six relatives.

'Is this a man or a woman?' Wang Chong's gaze stole at the young Confucian scholar.

Confucian is a melon seed face, delicate eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, white and warm skin, and has a handsome and noble son's demeanor. is even a little weak, and has a temperament more like a woman than a man.

But Wang Chong knew that this Confucian Liuli Pavilion was the lord of Jiazhou City, Bo, the head of civil officials. worked with Zhou Tong, but he was more famous than Zhou Tong and was even more difficult to mess with.

Gongsun Zhi, Tan Ji, Liu Liting, Zhou Tong...... 'Daobu', 'Sangtuo', 'Confucianism', 'Wufu', and the four edicts are all figures who gather to discuss the elders' seat.

At the head of the chamber and under the steps of the elders' seats were two rows of other monks' seats. At this moment, there were already seven or eight people with different appearances, all of whom were Disha monks who belonged to Jiazhou City.

Of course, these are not the only people in Jiazhou City. Hao Lan urgently convened a gathering of the earth, and the monks who were far away from the City God Temple could not rush back immediately to participate.

"Ladies and gentlemen, something strange has happened in Jiazhou that has not been seen in a hundred years, and Shuangchenghuang is in power. I have already explained to you the details of what happened. ”

Hao Lan sat on the chair, her face gloomy, and said:

"Since it is a gathering of demons, it is natural to listen to your opinions. Lugang Mansion's 'Moon Festival' is still coming in nine days. You have a choice!"

Before Hao Lan's words fell, the earthly monks who sat down at the table immediately shouted:

"We must be assisting Hao Chenghuang!

"Lao Wang used to be an incompetent character, everyone has not forgotten! Now Hao Chenghuang is newly appointed, and his methods are quite popular, and we are all optimistic about Hao Chenghuang!"

"The moon festival is coming, the more merit incense, the most beneficial to us! With Hao Chenghuang strategizing, we all trust Hao Chenghuang! Needless to say!"

......

Listening to the discussions of the earthly monks, although Wang Chong's face was calm, he also muttered in his heart: "It seems that Old Man Wang's previous actions are unpopular......

Indeed, Lao Wang's tenure as the city god of Jiazhou was extremely mediocre. Although nothing went wrong, they did not make any achievements, which dragged down the Jiazhou Disha monks to grab merit.

Meritorious incense is the lifeblood of all state city cultivators.

The stronger the Chenghuang, the happier the practitioners in the jurisdiction, and the greater the loyalty and motivation of the observants.

Although Hao Lan has not yet shown his merits when he takes office, there is 'Lord Shuibo' standing behind him. After he came to Jiazhou, he immediately vigorously wooed him, and many cultivators already regarded Hao Lan as a hope to set things right.

The resentment of the predecessor Lao Wang and the expectation of the new love Hao Lan have caused Hao Lan to win the hearts of the people when he has not been in office for a long time.

Gongsun Zhi and Zhou Tong naturally understood this truth, and they couldn't help but look ugly, but they were powerless to refute.

Hao Lan was in control, knowing that this would be the result, he glanced at Wang Chong proudly and gave him a contemptuous look. Then he turned his eyes to look at the Liuli Pavilion.

Liu Liting understood, clapped his hands lightly, and said in a soft voice:

"Now that you've made a decision, let's break up this meeting. The day of the Moon Festival is coming, and Tan Ji and I are optimistic about Hao Chenghuang!"

The Tanji monk, who had been sitting upright with a smile on his face, also nodded and said: "The poor monk has nothing to say, Jinghou Hao Chenghuang has good news." After the moon festival, let's drink the celebration wine again!"

After speaking, Tan Ji and Liu Liting said goodbye to Hao Lan in both directions, didn't look at Wang Chong at all, and left.

The other Earth Demon Cultivators, naturally, took Hao Lan as their head and shouted:

"Our merit incense bags are all handed over to Hao Chenghuang! After the moon festival, we will come to celebrate again!"

Everyone left with Tanji and Liuli Pavilion.

After a moment, there was silence in the entire chamber.

"Hahahaha......"

Hao Lan let out a long laugh, stood up, and looked at Wang Chong with his hands:

"Don't think that if you palm seal the inner shrine of the city god, you think you can return to the city god position. All the monks in Jiazhou are all devoted to me! On the day of the moon festival, I have the chance to win! You old man, what are you going to do to fight me?"

Hao Lan looked at Gongsun Zhi and Zhou Tong again: "You two wall grass, you will climb back as soon as possible and lick my threshold!"

After saying that, he sneered, and brushed his sleeves away without looking back.

Zhou Tong was so angry that he was smoking, if he hadn't been pulled by Gongsun Zhi, he would have rushed forward and beat Hao Lan violently. But in the City God Temple, this practice is only self-inflicted.

"There are still nine days before the Moon Festival, what countermeasures does Mr. Wang have?" Gongsun Zhi looked at Wang Chong worriedly.

Although Gongsun Zhi firmly believes that Wang Chong is a person of great fortune, but at this moment, when the crisis is coming, it is really difficult to be sure what good means Wang Chong can have.

Zhou Tong didn't say a word, just looked at Wang Chong in a daze.
