Chapter 18: Divine Seal

Looking in the direction from which the bell came, Wang Liang found that the trees in the City God Temple were already wrapped with various red silk threads, and a small copper bell was hung on each red silk thread.

The shadows of the red silk threads fell to the ground, and as long as Wang Liang stepped on these shadows, the copper bells on the tree would ring rapidly.

Ordinary people will be startled when they hear this ringtone, and some people who are not in good spirits will even be scared away by this ringtone.

But for Wang Liang, these ringtones could not affect him at all.

He just looked up and swept some of those bronze bells, and strode towards the main hall of the City God Temple.

Because he knew the function and effect of these copper bells, Wang Liang's steps became very strange, and he could step on the ground with every step without the shadow of silk threads.

As he stepped out, the bells didn't ring again.

When he stepped into the main hall of the City God Temple, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

The main hall in front of me was cleaned clean, so clean that there was not a trace of dust.

In front of the statue of the city god, only an oil lamp is lit, and a red incense stick is inserted in the copper incense burner.

Other than this, the hall was empty, and there was nothing to put on it, not even some fruits and flowers on the table.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Wang Liang also knew the status of the city god here.

He thought for a moment, reached out and picked up the incense sticks that were placed on the side of the offering table, and pulled out three of them.

After that, Wang Liang's mana was injected into the incense, which was some of the methods he learned from the game, called the Divine Method.

The use of this method depends on the rules of each world, in the world of Journey to the West, this method of inviting the gods can summon the land of the mountain gods, and in some worlds, this method invites the octopus head hidden in the sky.

Wang Liang saw that there was such a guard as a city god in this world, so he used the method of inviting gods.

He poured his attention into the incense stick, and then gently pinched it on the incense stick, and as soon as the red light on the incense head appeared, a clear smoke rose and slowly drifted towards the statue of the god of the city god.

Wang Liang inserted the incense stick into the copper incense burner and arched his hand at the statue of the city god: "Please also ask the city god to come out and see it." ”

Wang Liang spoke three times in a row, and in the clear smoke, a figure slowly condensed.

"I've seen this son, and it's the city god of Siming County below, I don't know what the son commands."

Enjoin?

This word made Wang Liang's eyes condense, and it can be seen from this kind of wording that the status of the gods in this world is not too high.

But think about it, this world has blatantly arranged all the gods, and even a character can take an edict to seal the gods, and the status of this god will be high.

After sighing for these gods, Wang Liang said: "Wang Jilong, who is versatile in Xia, has just come to a nearby family, and has been dealing with the problem of the family mansion in the past few years, and has never come out for a walk, if it weren't for someone running to my mansion today, I didn't know that there was such a big city near here."

Lord Chenghuang, may I ask you about the situation in the vicinity? ”

Chenghuang was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that this is the basic operation of a cultivator, and generally when a cultivator arrives in an unfamiliar place, the first time he summons the land and mountain god to come out and ask for directions or something.

It's just that Wang Liang took one step and went directly to the City God Temple to ask the City God.

Although this is a relatively rare experience in these years, Chenghuang still knows the truth here.

He thought for a while and said, "You really asked the right person, and the others don't dare to say more, but I still know the power of this Dongfeng Town, please here." ”

As he spoke, Chenghuang invited Wang Liang into the inner room.

After bypassing the main hall, they found a place to sit down in the back kitchen of the City God Temple.

After entering here, Chenghuang poured a glass of water for Wang Liang and said: "You can talk with confidence here, this is the territory of the Stove God, he usually doesn't speak, and he won't let people spread the news." ”

After that, Chenghuang began to explain the problem of the god system to Wang Liang.

It turns out that in this world, there are four systems of gods, namely the people's invitation, the official seal, the heavenly determination and the ancestral spirit.

The people please refer to the existence of the stove god and the door god that are closely related to the house, even if it is a commoner, as long as there is a place for the gods to exist in the house, then the gods can be invited to stay.

For example, if a door god is pasted on the door, there will be gods stationed in this door, which can keep peace for a while.

The official seal is the means that Wang Liang and they are using now, an edict can seal a god, of course, there are big official seals directly from the imperial court, small official seals from the princes, and then there are official seals from the family and other differences.

But no matter how the court jumped and shouted, all the gods sealed by the means of imperial decrees were called official seals.

The Heavenly Determination is aimed at the sun, moon, stars, thunder, lightning and rainstorms, and other gods, and those gods have a large range of influence, and they are not something that can be sealed at will by one generation, but with the power of all the people, it will be improved bit by bit in tens of millions of years.

Not to mention that among these Heavenly Determined Gods, there are still six emperors in such a position, this is an existence that is even greater than the emperor, how can this be canonized by a court.

Therefore, there is an unwritten rule among the gods that the gods of heaven are one level greater than the official gods.

The last one is the ancestral spirit god, which is posthumously sealed by each family in the underworld, the more descendants, the more prosperous the incense, the stronger the power of the gods.

Generally speaking, among the major families, there are one or two such ancestral spirit gods, of course, the number of such ancestral spirit gods in each family will not exceed five at most, after all, the number of incense is limited, and it is impossible to support too many ancestral spirit gods.

Only the imperial family can support the seven ancestral spirit gods, and they are often the founding emperors, the ancestors of Zhongxing, and the like.

After all, in addition to the family's incense, they can also get the world's offerings.

After talking about the Tao of the gods.

Chenghuang began to explain the situation on the Dongfeng side again.

Dongfeng Town has a total of 2 prefectures, 4 roads and 36 counties, the two mansions are the Pingyuan Mansion where the Dongfeng Hou Mansion is located and the Baichuan Mansion of the Dongfeng Town Xunfu Town.

These two are the direct territories of the Marquis of Dongfeng, and the other is the last place of control of Dongfeng Town by the imperial court, and their position in Dongfeng Town is quite important.

The four roads are based on nine counties as a road, named Jinchuan, Yuanshan, Xuanfeng and Chiwang, and their location in Siming County is in Yuanshan Road, but it is relatively close to Jinchuan Road, so the geographical location is relatively important.

Among these four roads, there are also several forces, most of which have taken refuge in Dongfeng Hou, but now there is a very serious problem, this generation of Dongfeng Hou has no children, only one concubine.

So Dongfeng Town was not stable during this time.
