Zhai Biqing said curiously: "The third level is the courage level, I don't know how the brave and righteous throne will test us?"

Yong Yigong laughed and said: "Since you have passed the first two levels, this third level does not need to be tested by this seat, so leave it to the monsters on the Fog Demon Ridge." ”

The two looked at each other, a little crying and laughing.

"Do all of them have to be tested?"

Yongyi Gong stroked his beard and smiled, but did not answer.

The two of them understood it and tacitly agreed not to ask again.

"This trip to the Fog Demon Ridge will be led by the lame man, let him tell you about the details first. Welcome to the two little heroes to join, all the people in the territory of this seat, thank you in advance. ”

After speaking, Yong Yigong stood up and saluted the two of them with a fist, and then his figure gradually dissipated.

After that, the gas engine in the restaurant also returned to normal.

As he looked around, he noticed that the other diners seemed to be unaware of what was happening, as if nothing had happened, and everything was as usual.

Is this the supernatural power of the gods in charge of one side? What a good means!

I was really envious of the wandering, and for the first time, I had an intuitive understanding of the means of the gods of the Shinto system.

The lame man coughed lightly, drawing the attention of the two of them, and then said:

"This time, the Fog Demon Ridge defeated the demons, thanks to the love of Yongyi Gong, entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and handed over to the poor road to lead the team. If you have any questions, you can always ask the poor way. ”

Zhai Biqing opened his mouth and asked, "May I ask senior, are there medium-sized demon beasts in the Fog Demon Ridge?"

The lame man was a little surprised, and then said, "Naturally, there is." According to Yong Yigong, Anxi Prefecture had organized two teams to attack demons in the mountains, and although they all returned in the end, they also brought out a lot of useful information. ”

At that moment, the lame man began to tell the two of them in detail about the details of the Fog Demon Ridge.

Wumo Ridge is located on the west side of Chaoshan Town, which is east-west, more than ten kilometers long, about five kilometers wide from north to south, and more than 500 zhang high, like a huge wedge, deeply wedged into the plain of the hinterland of Chaoshan Town.

The mountain is covered with miasma of fog all day long, and at night, the miasma even spreads from the foot of the mountain to the surrounding area. Some demon beast poisons will take the opportunity to go down the mountain to harm the township, which is quite a headache for the county government.

You must know that Chaoshan Town has a flat terrain and fertile soil, which can grow staple grains such as wheat, barley, and sorghum, and is an important granary of Shengshan County and even the entire Anxi Prefecture.

Since Yongyi Gong served as the land lord of Chaoshan Town, he had personally recruited a crusade team. It's a pity that at that time, Yongyi Gong had just become a god, his cultivation was not high, his personal prestige was limited, and there were few responders, resulting in not only making meritorious contributions in one fell swoop, but losing most of his people and losing heavily.

Speaking of this, the lame man sighed: "This matter has become a knot in the heart of Yongyi Gong, because he knows very well that one of the important purposes of the imperial court to make him a local land prince is to hope that he can pacify the demons in the Fog Demon Ridge. ”

Zhai Biqing suddenly realized: "If it can't be pacified, will there be punishment from above?"

The lame man gave him a meaningful look, but did not answer directly.

Zhai Biqing instantly understood the taboo. After all, he came from a big family, and he still heard of some secrets of the gods that were not humane.

First of all, there are actually two completely different systems of cultivating immortals in the cultivation world: the first line of immortal path and the first line of divine path.

The first line of the Immortal Dao is to take the path of "reversing into an immortal" practice, mortals through the practice of the Tao, improve their cultivation, and finally ascend to the tribulation, which is a bottom-up move against the sky, and they belong to the monks of the Immortal Dao line;

The Shinto lineage, on the other hand, followed the path of becoming gods from top to bottom - gods at all levels were enshrined by the heavenly court in the heavenly realm and the court on earth, forming a huge lineage of gods who governed all walks of life in heaven and earth.

Therefore, the so-called "gods" are also divided into heavenly gods and earthly gods.

The gods dwell in the heavenly realm, high above the clouds, far away from the world, and are existences that even the monks of the immortal path need to look up to;

The earth is rooted in the world, relying on the power of faith (also known as merit and trustworthiness) provided by the worship of the common people to improve their cultivation and maintain the immortality of the clay golden body. This group can be simply understood as the "agent" of the heavenly court in the human world, and also has divine status and supernatural powers, but it must be accompanied by the human court and complement each other, which can be described as extremely "down-to-earth".

And the land lord is the lowest type of "official" in the lineage of the land.

As for the "above" mentioned by Zhai Biqing, what he refers to is the county town god who directly governs the land lords, mountain gods, and water gods at all levels in Shengshan County.

The lame man smiled bitterly: "So, if you can't level the Fog Demon Ridge in one fell swoop this time, the god position of Yongyi Gong will be a little precarious." ”

It's really embarrassing to hear it. Although the priesthood of the land is low, but no matter what, it is also a god admired by all the people, I didn't expect it to be the same as the secular court, do you have a KPI assessment?

Zhai Biqing didn't seem to be surprised by this kind of thing, and asked instead, "So, how many people are there in the demon slayer team this time?"

The lame man nodded approvingly, which could be regarded as asking the core question.

"It's been nearly 30 years since Yongyi became a god. Needless to say, the prestige in the minds of the people of this county, even in the entire Anxi Prefecture cultivation world, is also well-known, so this time I was fortunate to recruit eight monks, including you, plus two worshippers from the Qin family, and the poor Dao, a total of eleven people. ”

You Li asked, "How is the strength?"

"There are three people in the Qi refining period, seven people in the foundation building period, and one person in the Ning Dan period. ”

Hearing this, You Li finally confirmed that the old man in front of him, whose aura was as deep as the abyss, was indeed a Ning Dan stage high cultivator, and his heart was suddenly settled.

So, he originally wanted to ask why he wasn't led by Yong Yigong himself, so he shut up very knowingly.

- With such a high-level cultivator in the Ning Dan period in charge, not to mention that the victory is in hand, at least it is nine out of ten.

Zhai Biqing suddenly asked, "Are the two people who clashed with us just now also in the team?"

The lame man joked, "Not bad." This is the current head of the Qin family, and he used some connections to finally invite two Taoist friends from a family of cultivators in Anxi Prefecture. Why, Zhai Xiaodaoyou still holds a grudge?"

Zhai Biqing shook his head again and again.

Seeing that the two had nothing to ask, the lame man got up and left the table, and finally admonished:

"The other monks will be coming over one after another today, and the store has already arranged rooms for you on the second floor. You have a good rest, and tomorrow at the right time, you will meet at the land temple in the west of the town. ”

With that, he limped upstairs.

Zhai Biqing did it with a butt, fanning the wind, and shouted: "Mom, it's okay for the lame seniors, when Yongyi Gong is present, the pressure on people is really not ordinary." ”

You Li nodded, and couldn't help but think of Master Xuan Yuzi's teachings.

The landlords in the world, even the lowest level of landowners, as a landlord, have a strong control over their own territory, which is unimaginable to ordinary people. There was once a master of the immortal road who sighed that these lands sat in the territory of the town, and they had the luck of a side of the mountains and rivers, like an eagle striking the sky, a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, and naturally overwhelming all foreign objects. Those with high realm can make "the momentum in the collar be like the arm of the body, and the finger of the arm, all of which cannot be controlled".

With a free perception, if you want to talk about cultivation as combat power, Yongyi Gongzhen is not necessarily higher and stronger than a lame person, but he can't stand this Chaoshan Town is his home field. Being in it, it is like falling into the landscape magic circle that is completely controlled by him, always overpowering, and being constrained everywhere, will invisibly give birth to a sense of powerlessness to be manipulated.

It was hard to imagine that Yong Yi Gong, who had such strength, would be helpless against the Fog Demon Ridge in his territory? Although the lame man introduced the situation in quite detail, he still felt that there was still something hidden in this matter.

Zhai Biqing couldn't sit still, and beckoned: "Let's go, go outside." ”

The two of them then paced out of the restaurant and wandered around the town.

Chaoshan Town is the largest town south of the county seat of Shengshan County, and its business is prosperous, which is not much stronger than Anhua Town. The two of them each bought a cup of sweet and glutinous chilled wine and ate it while shopping.

Just when he was bored, Zhai Biqing saw a gambling house, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Let's go, go in and have a look. ”

You Li didn't have much interest in gambling, but when he looked up at the scorching sun, he thought he might as well go in and hide, so he followed.

As soon as I entered the door, I was greeted by the smell of human flesh unique to summer.

Zhai Biqing seemed to be unaware, looking east and west with great interest, full of interest.

You Li sighed in his heart: "This guy, this guy has finally had a righteous line for a while, and the original form of a gentleman has appeared here." ”

At this time, a childish voice in the distance shouted loudly, and the sound was so penetrating that it could penetrate the noisy shouts in the gambling house and spread to all corners of the casino.

"Fork, fork, fork...... Oops, how is it 'fast' again!"
