Inside the Yin City.

Erlang God and the Cong Gods, the Seven Saints of Meishan and the Grass Head God looked at Chen Yun and did not say a word.

This place belongs to the underworld, and normal people cannot come here, and only monks who have achieved cultivation can enter it when they are out of the body, including but not limited to the Yin God.

Because of this, Erlang God and the immortal class under his command were sacred, and only then could they see through Chen Yun's cultivation at a glance.

Chen Yun didn't notice Erlang God, but pretended not to see it.

He originally came to rob people, but now that Erlang God and all the slaves are there, he went up to say hello, didn't he sit down and rob people?

It's not good to do this.

It's okay to pretend you don't know.

I didn't know you guys were talking about Zhao'an.

I didn't know that you were the god of Erlang.

I don't even know your purpose.

As the saying goes, he who doesn't know is not guilty.

I don't know if you can't be blamed, can you?

Of course, if Erlang God said at this time that Ji Xin was the ghost handsome he wanted to recruit, Chen Yun could only pinch his nose and turn his head and leave.

Why did he report himself as soon as he came up?

The purpose is to plug Erlang God's mouth so that he can successfully communicate with Ji Xin.

The reason why Chen Yun attaches so much importance to it is entirely because the ghost handsome man he wants to recruit this time is Ji Xin.

Some people may not know much about Ji Xin.

So what if we talk about the first personified city god?

In other words, Ji Xin is the first personified official city god.

Ji Xin, a native of Tianshui, was a general of Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty during the Qin and Han dynasties.

In the third year of the Han Dynasty, Xiang Yu besieged Liu Bang in Xingyang, and the situation was critical.

Ji Xin disguised himself as Liu Bang and pretended to go out of the city to surrender to the Chu army in order to distract the Chu army.

Liu Bang was able to escape, and Ji Xin was eventually burned to death by Xiang Yu.

After Ji Xin gave up his life to take righteousness, after Han Gaozu pacified the world, it was convenient to separate Ji Xin's hometown from Langzhong County in the second year, and gave "Anhan", which belonged to Chongguo County.

There is a wild history that has to be mentioned here.

It is rumored in the wild history that Han Gaozu canonized Ji Xin as the city god.

In fact, there is no such thing as a true history.

Tianshui City God's Temple was originally built in the Yuan Dynasty and was called Ji Xin Temple at that time.

It was only in the early Ming Dynasty that it was rebuilt into a city god temple.

In other words, Ji Xin Temple became the capital city god temple, which happened in the early Ming Dynasty.

Since Ji Xin Temple was changed to the capital city god temple until the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, why is it said that he is the first personified city god?

This has to be said from the history of the city god sacrifice.

The earliest documentary record of the term Chenghuang can be traced back to the Zhou Yi. Tai Feng.

At that time, the city god did not refer to the gods, but to the city and the moat.

The earliest official historical document that combines the city god and the god is the "Northern Qi Book: The Biography of Murong Yan": "There was a shrine in the city, commonly known as the city god, and there was a prayer for public and private. So the heart of the soldier is to pray for the blessing of the dead. ”

It should be noted here that the City God has not yet become the official immortal of the national sacrifice.

In the Tang Dynasty, the worship of the city god gradually flourished, began to spread to the whole country, and combined with celebrities, it became a ghost god who became a god after death.

It was also during this period that the system of knighthood began to take shape.

However, the city god is still not worshipped by the state.

The city god was really worshiped by the state because the secession kings of various places during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period also began to seek the blessing of the city god God, and the tradition of knighting the god of the city god also officially began to operate during this period.

Then it was not until the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty that Chenghuang was accepted by the imperial court into the official national sacrifice to the gods.

It was in this environment that Ji Xin became the first "official" and "legitimate" Chenghuang Ye, and was titled "Zhongyouan Han Gong".

This is the process of Chen Yun's original World City God's personification into a god.

This world is a little different from his previous life, it belongs to the world of Taoist mythology, and any god sacrifice must reach a consensus between the heavenly court and the suzerain, in order to establish a shrine, otherwise it is a wild fox Zen pseudo-god, and the shrine will be demolished by the imperial court.

Therefore, Ji Xin has not yet become a god.

As for why Ji Xin appeared near Qingcheng Mountain, in fact, he was not in the Qingcheng Mountain area at all, but in the Yin City of the Netherworld, and it was only because of the overlap of dimensions that he would seem to be in Qingcheng Mountain.

Chen Yun knew that Ji Xin would become the first City God in the future, and he also knew that he was loyal, so he deliberately pretended not to know Erlang God, and recruited Ji Xin under his command no matter what.

Ji Xin had already noticed that Chen Yun had broken in with a god general, and then heard the other party report to his home, knowing that the other party was a disciple of a famous family, he hurriedly hugged his fists and saluted back: "It turned out to be the tall foot of Zhengyang Zhenren, Ji Xin has seen Chen Daochang." ”

Chen Yun said politely: "General Ji is polite, I just proposed, what do you think?" ”

This time, Ji Xin was not polite because the other party was a famous disciple, and directly refused: "Please forgive me for not agreeing, which disappointed Daochang Chen." ”

Erlang God and his attendants, King Chu Jiang and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They valued Ji Xin and the three hundred brave and good fighting Yin soldiers very much, so they naturally didn't want to be snatched away.

Don't look at the current Ji Xin is just a ghost handsome, and his cultivation is similar to that of a medium mage.

This is because the other party is still a "ghost", and if it is transformed into a god general through means such as sacrifice and worship, its strength will increase greatly.

This is still just becoming a god general, and he will worship it day and night in the future, or Erlang God is willing to share his beliefs, and it is easy for Ji Xin to become a ghost and immortal.

The Yin soldiers under Ji Xin's subordinates are also amazing, and everyone is similar to those who have just entered the realm of inferior mages.

In front of these Yin soldiers are all elite soldiers under the Han King, and their combat effectiveness is even more extraordinary than that of Yin soldiers.

Naturally, even if it is Erlang God, he must be tempted by these Yin soldiers, and even come to recruit him in person.

When Erlang God and the others saw that Chen Yun was rejected, they said in their hearts that you must either use force to subdue Ji Xin and the rampant soldiers now, otherwise you can only go back and forth from where.

They didn't think that Chen Yun could come up with a third method at all.

But on the contrary, Chen Yun's cheeks are far thicker than Erlang God and others imagined.

I saw him smile and ask, "Why is General Ji unwilling to surrender?" ”

The attendant Chu Jiang Wang said in his heart where did he come from so much, why, didn't you see that our Guan Jiang Erlang Temple couldn't recruit each other?

Ji Xin didn't despise Chen Yun, and still replied truthfully: "Daochang Chen, if Ji is alone, you, a famous Zhengyang real person, of course I am willing to consider it the master, however, Ji can't just think about himself, there are still three hundred brothers who were born and died here who are unwilling to fall into reincarnation, so I naturally want to find a way out for them." ”

Chen Yun blinked and continued to ask: "What kind of way out do you want to find for your brothers, can you tell a thing or two about Poor Dao?" Perhaps I can plan for you, too. ”

Erlang God didn't say anything because of Chen Yun's identity.

The attendant King Chujiang couldn't hold back a little, and said in a loud voice: "Daochang Chen, it's not that I'm rude, the Ji family brothers want to let all the three hundred Yin soldiers under their command become the underworld, and I Guanjiang Erlang Temple has not had so many Yin Difference places all rejected, what can you do?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Yun's eyes lit up, and instead of taking care of the attendant King Chujiang, he looked at Ji Xin and asked, "General Ji, is it really true?" ”

Ji Xin bowed slightly: "It's true." ”

If there were other requirements, Chen Yunxing might not be able to meet them, but in terms of yin, he didn't have to deliberately meet them at all.

A few decades later, the Song Dynasty was established, and Ji Xinhui was canonized as the first "legitimate" city god in history.

The latest addition of the "official" system to the Chenghuang system requires the addition of a large number of "grassroots civil servant" positions.

Don't dare to say anything else, the Chinese military judge of the City God Temple, the great gods of various divisions, the general Ganliu, the general of Niu Ma, the day and night wandering gods, and the general of shackles have a lot of places, which still belongs to the scope of the priesthood.

If there are more ordinary errand positions, such as those under the hands of civil and military judges, don't you need to do errand service? Moreover, under the command of the gods of the various divisions, Gan Liu, Niu Ma and other gods, don't they fight against the Yin soldiers? Although the status of the errand soldiers and Yin soldiers is low, they really belong to the genuine grassroots staff in the Yin system, and they are the personnel who have the official "establishment" of the Yin Division!

Naturally, as a rampant soldier under Ji Xin, it is logical to have an "official" establishment.

Maybe some rampant soldiers are lucky, and they have a chance to become gods directly!

Chen Yun said confidently: "If Poor Dao says, as long as General Ji is willing to join hands with your brothers to submit to me and become a divine soldier, you will definitely be able to get your wish in the future?" ”

Erlang was stunned and couldn't help but look at Chen Yun.

The attendants, King Chujiang and the Seven Saints of Meishan and other gods were also puzzled and looked at Chen Yun.

You must know that Guanjiang Erlang Temple does not have so many priesthoods, and they don't know where Chen Yun got his confidence.

Ji Xin also seemed to be a little disbelieving, and frowned and said: "Daochang Chen, please forgive me for being rude, you are only a seventh-grade mage, what can I do to let my brother and I seal the underworld?" ”

Chen Yun said confidently: "I know that my cultivation is shallow, I'm afraid it's hard for you to believe it, however, my mentor Zhengyang Zhenren is the great master who pioneered the Dan Dao, and there is also a priesthood in the heavenly court, first of all, if I promise you can't do it, I will lose the face of the teacher, this is what I am a disciple of, I definitely don't want to see the teacher ashamed because of my indiscriminate promises, secondly, before my mentor became an immortal, he was also a general of the Han Dynasty, I have always regarded myself as a Han as his disciple, presumably General Ji should know that my Han dynasty is established with integrity, If I can't do what I promised you, what are you talking about? ”

He didn't lie about this, the vast majority of Chinese people in modern society are Han Chinese.

In addition, during the Han and Han dynasties, the imperial court provided national credit for the first time, and at that time the imperial court set up a series of systems and institutions to ensure the stability and reliability of national credit.

It is precisely because of this system that the Han Dynasty people took the concept of honesty as the foundation.

Chen Yun's words are pulling feelings with the other party, you see, my master and you used to be Hanchen, and I think I am Han, and we are our own people.

Second, he is assuring the other party that my teacher's reputation has been taken out, don't you still believe me?

Ji Xin was a little tempted when he heard this, but he didn't bet on the future of his brothers, but asked rhetorically: "How long is this future you are talking about?" ”

Erlang God frowned.

The attendants King Chujiang and the Seven Sages of Meishan also had a bad premonition.

They naturally heard that Ji Xin's words had revealed his heart.

It's just that they can't understand why Ji Xin is not moved at all when Erlang God is so polite and virtuous, but he will be tempted by Chen Yun who came up and said a few words casually?

Chen Yun paused for a while, "The longest is not more than a hundred years." ”

Ji Xin bowed his head slightly and said: "If it is not more than a hundred years, I am not unable to agree, but Chen Daochang, you look at the cultivation as average, I want to ask, how will you let me and my brothers get the errand of the underworld?" ”

Chen Yun said truthfully: "If there is turmoil today, and the dynasty may change at any time, I expect that the War of the Gods will come in less than a hundred years, and then my Ningyang Cave Missionary Temple will inevitably be involved in it, others are not good to say, even if I earn the merits of the Seventh Grade, there is no place to use it, but as long as General Ji and the brothers help, don't we want to save enough credit for the canonization of the Yin Difference in the Battle of the Gods?" General Ji, you and many brothers now belong to the rampant soldiers in the spirit world, and it is difficult to participate in the battle of the gods, after all, the division is unknown, but you and your brothers have become my divine soldiers, can't you use my Ningyang Cave Taoist Temple to participate in the war? What you and many brothers lack is not strength, but the opportunity to canonize, and you may not be able to give anything else, but I can give this opportunity to participate in the war. ”

His words were sincere, and there was no hint of falsehood.

Although Erlang God, the attendant King Chujiang and others were also sincere, their words sounded too fake and empty.

Why?

It's very simple, there are many priesthoods in the heavenly court, but there are more monks in the world, and there are countless people who are related to the gods, and the number of Ji Xin and rampant soldiers is as high as three hundred, why did you get so many priesthoods?

The most important thing, Erlang God just said that it can only be done after the battle of the gods of several dynasties.

Who knows if a few dynasties will be hundreds or thousands of years old?

For such a long time, these brothers may have died in battle, let alone whether they can become gods.

Chen Yun is different, people are not ambiguous, and directly give a period of no more than 100 years, and everyone can hope to get that time.

In this comparison, Chen Yun can be said to be full of sincerity.

So although Erlang God is from the bottom of his heart, in the eyes of Ji Xin and the rampant soldiers, what Erlang Temple is issuing is a "blank check" and is drawing a big cake for them.

Chen Yun's performance here is different, people first guaranteed the reputation of his teacher, and then said a "realistic" plan to become a regular, and the difficulty of implementation is not high, and the probability of success is very large.

Ji Xin and the rampant soldiers under his hands were naturally all moved when they heard it.

Ji Xin pondered for a moment, "If it is according to what Daochang Chen said, it is okay for me and my brothers to join you as divine soldiers. ”

Erlang God couldn't help but wonder.

The attendants of the King of Chujiang and the Seven Sages of Meishan and other gods are also very incomprehensible, the opportunity to become a god is in front of you, do you not cherish this Ji Xin, do you have to be a low-level underworld servant?

They didn't know what ecstasy soup Chen Yun poured into Ji Xin!

Fortunately, at this time, Ji Xin added another sentence, so that the gods such as Erlang God, the attendant King Chujiang and the Seven Sages of Meishan saw a glimmer of hope again.

I saw Ji Xin say: "It's just that I still say that, Chen Daochang, your cultivation is really ordinary, I am afraid that when the battle of the gods comes, you will end up with a failed teacher, how will the future of me and my brother be guaranteed?" ”

Chen Yundao: "General Ji, let me ask you, as long as you prove my strength, you are willing to submit?" ”

"Yes." Ji Xin gave an exact answer, "If Daochang Chen has the ability to subdue me and the three hundred brothers, no matter what means are used, I will let you send them in the future." ”

Chen Yun said: "Okay, gentleman's word." ”

Ji Xin said: "It's hard to chase a horse!" ”

Chen Yun immediately said: "I will open the altar, if there is a lot of offense and accidentally hurt General Ji and the brothers, I hope to forgive more sins." ”

Ji Xin laughed and said: "You can hurt me and my brothers, it's too late for me to be happy, which means that you have the ability to lead us to achieve merit in the battle of the gods." ”

In just a short conversation, the two set the conditions for submission.

Chen Yun and Ji Xin were very happy, after all, this was a two-way street.

Only the gods of the Guanjiang Temple, such as the Erlang God, the attendant King Chujiang, and the Seven Sages of Meishan, were speechless.

They have been busy for several years, trying to convince Ji Xin, but they have not been able to do it.

As a result, as soon as this little Taoist priest named Chen Chongyong came, he basically persuaded Ji Xin?

They really couldn't understand why Guanjiang Erlang Temple offended Ji Xin and the three hundred rampant soldiers, and they were so unpopular?

It was precisely because he was very puzzled in his heart that Erlang God, who failed to persuade him to surrender and should have left, specially stayed.

He wanted to see if Chen Yun could really have the ability to subdue Ji Xin and the other rampant soldiers.

Subsequently, regardless of whether he could submit or not, he wanted to ask Ji Xin why he chose Chen Yun instead of him Guanjiang Erlang Temple.

Today, it may be a 4,000-word chapter in this chapter, and my physical condition is not quite right, and my whole body is sore, and I don't know what's going on.
