ps: It's the last few days of the end of the month, please support me for a monthly pass, thank you.

Otaku's eyes are blurred, and he feels that he is not seeing a person, but a god!

Dressed in brocade clothes, with a burly figure, his body was shrouded in a ball of light, and his face was hazy and he couldn't see clearly. But it gives people a very majestic feeling, as if they are high gods, which makes people worship.

"Chenghuang?"

The otaku was dazzled to see that as soon as the god's hand was pulled, a soft light melted into his body, making him feel very comfortable and warm.

"Tired, so tired......"

The feeling of tranquility also made the otaku completely relaxed, and he couldn't open his eyelids anymore and fell asleep directly.

"Ho, one by one is comfortable, leave me to clean up the mess."

The halo dissipated, and Qi Xiang slowly appeared in the air, which was his divine soul floating in the air. But unlike the previous formless and substantial, his spirit is now very condensed, as if it were substance.

In other words, he has been promoted to a higher level, and his strength has reached a higher level.

"I didn't expect that there is such a mysterious mystery hidden in the Chenghuang Stone......"

Qi Xiang sighed with emotion, his soul floated in the air, and it was already a little substantial, except for his hands and feet, which was a little blurred, but the whole body had been condensed, this was the realm of manifestation.

The cultivation of the divine soul is nothing more than several stages.

The first step is out-of-body. The second step is to manifest. The third step is to protect the object.

The three stages basically cover the entire process of spiritual cultivation. As for the rest of the stage, it is no longer the cultivation category of the divine soul, but the realm of the yin god and the ghost immortal.

Among them, the manifestation is the stage that Qi Xiang has reached now. Between these stages, there is also a distinction between the small realm and the large realm.

The small realm is the night tour, as long as Qi Xiang stabilizes his existing strength, then when the soul is out of the body, he can leave the body for a long time. Even if the spirit flies thousands of miles away, as long as it can rush back to its place before dawn, there will be no problem.

This realm is what the folk often call the night wandering god, traveling thousands of miles at night, no problem.

Opposite to the night tour, it is naturally the great realm of manifestation, the day tour.

During the day, the sun's true fire envelops the earth, which is very important for the yin spirits. It amounts to a form of torture. If the divine soul can manifest under the blue sky and white sun, this must be a qualitative transformation.

Pretending to be a god at night is not called a skill, but being able to descend and manifest during the day is the true God.

"That's why he was able to rely on this strength to successfully usurp the throne of the city god and steal the divine power to stand on his own......"

Qi Xiang sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "It's a pity, this is just a side evil way after all." accidentally attracted the curse of heaven and died under the thunder of nine thunders. ”

Qi Xiang's spirit flickered, and he returned directly to the tent.

Qi Soul returned to his body, and Qi Xiang opened his eyes gently. In his hand, it was the stone of the city god. However, at this moment, the hard and heavy city god stone suddenly dispersed. It turned into powder and sprinkled in a flutter.

Qi Xiang didn't care, and grabbed it lightly with his palm. Grab something out of the powder.

It is a seven-trick jade lock, carved from the best mutton fat jade, the whole body is crystal clear, as pure as crystal, without the slightest impurity.

Qi Xiang squinted and looked, only to see that on the gorgeous jade lock, some small characters were faintly engraved. He didn't have to look much to know that it was a person's birthday.

If people who have some understanding of metaphysics see this jade lock, they should understand that this is a life lock.

Not a long-lived lock, but a life lock.

This lifelock is similar to the lich's lifebox in the Western world. It is said that the lich carried his soul in a life box and then hid it in a place that no one knew. In this way, whoever killed him would be able to resurrect him.

Only by breaking the life box and cutting off his soul can he be completely destroyed. Otherwise, theoretically, the lich can have an infinite number of lives and live forever.

The function of the life lock is also very similar to that of the life box.

Qi Xiang was very skeptical that the two were plagiarizing each other...... No, it should be said to be a reference. He raised the delicate jade lock, and while watching it carefully, he couldn't help but admire.

"The person who came up with this idea was a genius...... No, it's supposed to be a god...... Well, that doesn't seem right. ”

Qi Xiang thought about it, and finally came up with an accurate definition: "Ghost talent, ghost and god talent." ”

The facts make Qi not sigh, you must know that the owner of this life lock is a cultivator in the Ming Dynasty, and he is also a very powerful cultivator.

In the Ming Dynasty, when the aura of heaven and earth was almost dissipated, that cultivator was forced to build a foundation and enter the Dao, and even was about to condense the golden pill, breaking the shackles of the body and becoming a land immortal.

And then it's just that one step, and I don't know how many seekers have been stuck in the past. That cultivator was no exception, and when his longevity was about to run out, he couldn't take that step.

The cultivator was not reconciled, and after looking through thousands of classics, his mind was enlightened, and he thought of a plan to change the day. He created this life lock with his own hands, and then locked his soul in the jade lock.

Then he instructed his henchmen to seal his life lock in the Chenghuang Stone, and then took advantage of the renovation of the Chenghuang Temple to bury the Chenghuang Stone under the temple and enjoy the incense offerings.

Of course, this is only the first stage. The second stage is to usurp the throne of God.

Anyway, after decades of accumulation and continuous precipitation, it seems that he has experienced a lot of risks, but that cultivator finally succeeded in incarnating as a city god, and even performed the duties of a city god in a grand manner.

You must know that the City God was originally just a fictional thing made up by the common people, but the cultivators put it into practice, and even appeared during the day, which naturally caused a sensation.

For a while, not to mention the people, even the imperial court was shaken. Anyway, with the support of some officials and believers, the position of the Chenghuang God of the cultivators was very stable.

That is, from that period, the belief in the god of God's city also reached its peak among the people. The steady stream of incense also made the cultivation of the cultivators advance by leaps and bounds, reaching the legendary realm of ghosts and immortals.

It can be said that the cultivator has succeeded in changing his life against the sky, and he is following the path of incense and fire Shinto, as long as the incense continues, he can live in the world forever.

Even if the existence of this life form has many restrictions and defects, to a certain extent, this cultivator has indeed become an "immortal" and has attained the path of immortality.

Everything is going well, more than 100 years have passed, the cultivators are very comfortable, and the prestige of the city god is increasing day by day. With the continuous improvement of strength and power, this ambition naturally grows.

In fact, from the very beginning, the cultivators were very sure that their plan would definitely succeed.

Therefore, the choice of a place to become a city god is also very particular. After all, there are also levels of city gods, including county city gods, Fuzhou city gods, provincial city gods, and the highest level of capital city gods!

Needless to say, the goal of the cultivators is naturally the capital city god. But there are very few city gods in the world. At that time, it was the world of the Ming Dynasty, and the two-capital system was implemented. Yanjing in the north, and Nanjing in the south.

In these two capitals, there must be the capital city god.

But that cultivator was wise and knew that the two places could not be touched. After all, the two capitals are not only full of high-ranking officials and magnates, but also strange people from all walks of life are hidden in the city, if they find out the clues, they will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

So after careful consideration, the cultivator targeted Luoyang. Because Luoyang is not only in the world in the minds of the world, but more importantly, outside Luoyang, there is the existence of Bishan.

After the cultivators incarnated into the city gods, they looked for subordinates among those yin spirits and cultivated many elite soldiers, fierce generals, and judges and scribes.

All in all, God's subordinates are completely consistent with folklore, and they have subordinates such as civil and military judges, various gods, Ganliu generals, Fan Xie generals, Niu Ma generals, day and night wandering gods, shackle generals and so on.

In addition, there are tens of thousands of ghosts and ghosts, which are simply princes.

It is also for this reason that some sect masters noticed that something was wrong with this city god, and they did not dare to make a public crusade, lest the conquest fail, but provoke the disaster of death.

The cultivator sits on one side, named Chenghuang, and is actually the king of ghosts. Fortunately, he is sober enough and knows that he can't do without the faith of the people, so he tries his best to restrain his subordinates and not do things that hurt nature and reason, but on the contrary, he often helps the poor and protects the people.

The people pray to God and worship the Buddha, so that someone will make the decision for them. Now that the gods are just and selfless, the power of this faith must be like a surging river, endless, and a massive amount of water pouring into the cultivators.

With the support of the people and enough strength and power, the ambition of the cultivators can't help but grow again. He is unwilling to be just a city god and a ghost king, he wants to open up the underworld and sit in the position of the son of Yama.

And then...... He was tragic.

What is the specific situation, the information in the fate lock is vague, anyway, the last impression is that one day there was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and thunder and fire fell from the sky, directly blasting the cultivators to ashes, and even the City God Temple was reduced to ashes.

The temple was destroyed, and it took a long time before someone rebuilt the temple on the ground, but it was not the temple of the city god, but the temple of the land. It's just that the cultivators have lost their souls and can no longer reshape the priesthood.

"It's miserable, it's miserable." Qi Xiang bared his teeth, then looked up at the sky, confused and pondered: "The aura has obviously been exhausted, why is the law of heaven still there?" ”

"Hey, this is also the sorrow of the end of the law era."

Qi Xiang came back to his senses and looked up to the sky and sighed: "The fairy road is hard to find, what kind of divine way, witch way, ghost way, incense road, as long as there is a glimmer of opportunity, everyone will go forward and follow, regardless of the result, it is also tragic." ”

"The problem is that the will of heaven is like a knife, and people's hearts are unpredictable."

Qi Xiang put his five fingers together, but before he could use much force, the Linglong life lock also turned into ashes. It can be said that that cultivator not only died under the curse of heaven, but also died in his own inflated ambition.

If he keeps to himself, he may be able to hold on to it...... Decades? Hundreds of years?

Qi Xiang was thoughtful, unsure how long that Xiuzhen City God would survive. After all, the killing and robbery at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the turmoil at the end of the Qing Dynasty for a hundred years, what is even more terrifying is the destruction of the four old ...... after the founding of the People's Republic of China (To be continued......)
