Chapter 173: Huzhou City God
In the city of Huzhou, the streets and alleys.
"Have you heard? All the gods and grandfathers in our seven states, including Huzhou, Fengzhou, and Xunzhou, have all left, and none of them have left. "Someone told about the recent Jiehe Tianguan, and the strange things that happened in various places during the night,
"I saw that the mages in the realm were going to be withdrawn, but I heard that in the future, the gods south of the Great Wei will be sealed by the Empty Dust Daojun, so this Yin God and the mage have to go. "Someone said they heard the news from the Boundary Master.
There are many people who know about this, and word of mouth spreads, and everyone knows about it.
"Our god here, has the Emperor of the Empty Dust Dao come to seal it?" Some people were shocked and couldn't believe it, the Great Wei Yin and Yang Realm City had been established for more than a hundred years, and all of a sudden, the heavens had changed, making many people not believe it at all.
"Empty Dust Dao Monarch, that immortal of the Great Zhou?" some people have also heard of this name.
"It's the immortals we saw in the Riyou Shenfu that day, what kind of immortals of Da Zhou, where are the immortals?" Everyone was cautious when they lifted this matter, and the things of demons and ghosts were taboo, not to mention the immortals who were high above.
And that's just folklore.
And some official eunuchs, Taoist disciples, and wealthy businessmen in the city already knew the more shocking news.
"Chenghuang big test!"
"The god of Huzhou?"
In the back hall of the Assassin's Mansion, an official dressed in vermilion suddenly heard the news and immediately stood up.
The subordinate official in the blue robe followed behind him and said unhurriedly: "Zhou Shilang, who has just retired from the capital, is said to have been invited by the gods. ”
Not only that, but Xia Guan also heard that some people in various states and counties have successively met gods in their dreams and sent letters. ”
"On the day of the beginning of the next month, the city god will take the big test, and the leader will be the lord of the ghosts and gods of Huzhou. ”
"Dominate thousands of ghosts and gods, and stay in the world for a long time. ”
"Even if you can't be the city god of Huzhou, it is said that as long as you are selected, you can also be a ghost and god of a county and a party of yin. ”
The blue-robed official clapped his palms and said excitedly.
"Thorn History!"
"From now on, our Shinto here will belong to the rule of the Empty Dust Dao King. ”
"Even the Lord of the Yin and Yang Realm City, in the face of this Empty Dust Dao Monarch, had to back down, and the entire Great Zhou believed in the Empty Dust Dao Monarch. ”
"On this day, do you think it has really changed? ”
The blue-robed official meant something.
Huzhou Thorn Shi has never heard of such a thing: "As long as you are chosen, mortals can be gods?"
The mortals of Great Wei never thought that one day they too could become gods.
Huzhou Thorn Shi Wenzhi sat and stood still: "This god can also be done by people?"
The blue-robed subordinate officer nodded and said, "Of course, this is the hand-picked position of the Empty Dust Dao Monarch, a state god!"
"It is said that as long as the person has good conduct and self-cultivation, he can enter the cloud god realm and compete for the position of the god of the city god. ”
Thorn Shi was heartbroken: "Why didn't this official receive the invitation of the gods, and the official also thinks that he is honest and honest, and he has managed this pot state to live and work in peace and contentment, which can be regarded as a bit of merit." ”
"But the gods don't favor me!"
The subordinate official immediately said: "You are the governor of a state, and the parent official of the people of the Yang world. ”
"If you go to be the god of this city god, won't there be no one to take care of the affairs of the yang world?"
"I want to come to the immortals because of this, and I didn't send the gods to invite me. ”
Huzhou Thorn Shi sighed a long sigh: "This mortal official, where can he compare with a god!"
Great Wei advocates Shinto, and it is not surprising that everyone has this idea.
Take a look at how the gods of the past days are high up and can be imagined, the history of flowing water, its hundred years as a day unchanged in the central god of Huzhou, worshiped by all the people.
The subordinate officer immediately stepped forward and worried about the assassination.
"Thorn Shi Mo is in a hurry!"
"Xia Guan got a portrait and divine position of the Empty Dust Dao Monarch from the Great Zhou, which is said to be extremely effective. ”
"Just fast, bathe, burn incense and pray. ”
"The Empty Dust Dao Monarch should know your mind. ”
Huzhou Thorn Shi showed great joy on his face: "Really?"
The blue-robed subordinate officer immediately said: "It is said that this portrait and the divine position are from the Daojun Temple in the Great Zhou Shenjing. ”
"That Daojun Temple is the place where the Daojun inherited the immortal view and refined the elixir of life in the past, and finally turned into a ruin in order to destroy the demons, but the mountain gate is still there, suppressing the demons from all directions and not daring to take a step closer to the land of Gyeonggi in the Great Zhou. ”
"The Taoist who sold me this thing said, as long as the heart is sincere and there are no distracting thoughts, there will be results. ”
The blue-robed officials swore an oath.
All of a sudden, the portraits and shrines of the empty dust Daojun in Huzhou were sold hotly, and everyone flocked to grab them.
Some people do not hesitate to spend a lot of money, just because the god is said to have been enshrined in the Great Zhou Si Tianjian, and the wood is taken from the Great Zhou Shenjing Taoyuan Sacred Tree.
The peddlers all say.
The things in his hands are from the Great Zhou Daojun Temple, Si Tianjian, and some people even say that they are from under the Laoshan Mountain.
Cherish it and it's rare, and it's only a few pairs for sale.
But it is sold everywhere in the county.
The few pairs that are limited to sale have not yet been sold.
——————————————
The night of the beginning of the month.
When night falls, some people are anxious at home and can't sit still, as if they are afraid of missing the hour.
Some people fasted and bathed early, sitting quietly under the statue of the empty dust Daojun, and there was still a statue of Chixia Yuanjun hanging on the side, without any expression on his face, reciting the Taoist scriptures with great piety, but in fact, he was still panicked in his heart.
There are also people who hold the sage scriptures and read them temporarily, as if they regard the city god examination as a imperial examination.
These are people who have been invited by the man of God.
There are old men who are dying, and there are also men in the prime of life, most of whom are calm and well-educated people of old age.
Half of them are full of poetry and books, and most of them have the experience of being officials, and their official reputations are outstanding and their political achievements are noted.
There are also half of them are disciples of various Taoist sects, and they are the characters of any Yin official.
Everyone was anxious at the moment because they didn't know how the City God Exam would come.
No one can guess the methods of the immortals, only full of anticipation and anxiety.
When the moon rises in the treetops, the shimmer illuminates the world, and the silver glow shines all over the earth.
Everyone suddenly felt their heads sink and just wanted to fall asleep, and then suddenly woke up.
Something strange happened.
Everyone felt as light as the wind, and they drifted towards the rooftop, and the clouds surrounded them, pushing them out of the house, all the way to the sky.
The crowd first exclaimed, then gradually became familiar, and only cheers remained.
This kind of scene, they have only seen in books, that has had such an experience.
Seeing the clouds carrying them higher and higher, they realized at this moment that the realm in the clouds was really going to the sky to meet the big test of the city god.
The city beneath his feet grew smaller and smaller, and the clouds in the sky were getting closer and closer.
They began to see that they were not the only ones flying into the sky.
In the distance, one after another who was like them who had taken the city god test, rode the clouds towards the sky and clouds, and the closer they got to the sky and the sea of clouds, the closer they got to each other.
At one time, there are probably hundreds of people.
There are also many people who know each other.
"Brother Zhou, you are here too!"
"Hu Lao, you too, I didn't know any news before!"
"Lao Qin, are you here, you are really hiding from me!"
There are also a few Taoists who see each other, and they look at each other.
"Brother Longhua, didn't you say yesterday that you were going to the north soon?" someone exclaimed, his eyes widening.
"Ashamed! ashamed!"
"Immortals are invited, and the test of gods and men really dare not be publicized at will! Brother Nangu, aren't you also very tight-lipped, but the old man hasn't heard any news!" The other party arched his hand and said ashamed, but he couldn't see shame on his face at all.
Many people started talking directly in the sky.
But they didn't say much, everyone's hearts were full of worries, and their minds were not at all above greetings and reminiscences.
Gradually, they converged all the way to the clouds, and the clouds rose all around them, and no one else could be seen.
Finally, I broke through the clouds and came to the sea of clouds, but I saw a bright light above.
"This is the realm in the clouds?" someone looked around, the clouds were shrouded in mist, a piece of gold, and the light shone so brightly that it felt a little dazzling, and hurriedly blocked it.
"Why is it daylight above the clouds?" someone else noticed something unusual.
"It's not the sun!It's an immortal, it's an immortal!" someone looked up and exclaimed.
The crowd looked up and finally saw where the light was coming from.
I found out.
Above the layers of clouds overhead, a huge cloud cave opened, and above the cloud vortex revealed the sacred and vast Heavenly Palace Immortal Que.
But the most eye-catching thing at this moment is a god-man sitting on top of the cloud vortex.
It is like a colossus statue standing between heaven and earth, covered in golden light, illuminating the sea of clouds into golden clouds.
On the side of the immortal law, a goddess stood aside.
The two overlooked the sea of clouds below, and this scene suddenly reminded many people of the statues of sages placed high above when they participated in the examination, and they also looked at them like this, as if penetrating the ugliness and light in everyone's hearts.
It's just that at that time, there were only clay statues on the altar.
And at this moment.
They are facing real immortals.
They are not mortal officials, but ghosts and gods under the seat of immortals.
This shock and pressure are far greater than a thousand times more.
They are above this cloud, answering the great test of the city god.
Under the gaze of the immortals and heaven and earth.
There is no trace of fraud and flashiness, and it is not their Wentao and martial arts strategies that are tested, but their original intentions in the face of this world.
Judge Liu was in the middle of the crowd and looked up at the Empty Dust Daojun: "Is that the true body of the Empty Dust Daojun?"
Judge Liu suddenly remembered the book in "The Biography of Emperor Bao Gong".
Emperor Bao Gong once looked up at the Immortal Sage Xian Gate under the sacred mountain, and what he saw may be this kind of scene, right?
All the people bowed together.
"Meet the Empty Dust Daojun!"
"Meet Chixia Yuanjun!"
At this time, a ghost god wearing a god robe walked out of the clouds above the sea of clouds, led by the ghost and god envoy under the seat of Chixia Yuanjun.
Along the sea of clouds, more than a dozen ghost and god seats also appeared, lined up in a row.
In the center of the front is the ghost and god envoy, who is the ghost and god of the main test this time.
More spirits came out from behind, standing with them in general.
It turns out that these ghosts and gods also have to compete with them for the position of the state city god, or for the other gods of the state city god.
The Ghost Envoy shouted, "Ghost Spirit!"
"Take charge of the ghosts and ghosts, and suppress the demons. ”
"It does not belong to the human world, and it does not return to the yang realm. ”
From now on, yin and yang are separated, and you can't easily appear in the world, let alone meddle in the affairs of the yang world at will. ”
"Those who do not want to turn away at once and return to the nether world. ”
Most of the people who come here have already thought about it, and most of them are not young enough to have this opportunity, and of course they will not give up.
However, some people still hesitated, and the ghost envoy didn't say much, and sent them back directly.
In an instant, the clouds fell and fell into the world.
These people woke up in horror from the feeling of falling, only to find that they were still at home, as if it had just been an illusory dream.
And above the sea of clouds, the Chenghuang exam is still in progress.
The ghost envoy waved his hand again, and a table appeared in front of everyone, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were visited.
After everyone and the ghosts and gods who were listed for the exam bowed and sat down, they found that the table had been placed with a long scroll and a list of exam questions.
There are only four words at the beginning.
"If it's a city god. ”
The people who came already knew that the city god was the lord of the ghosts and gods in Huzhou, but they didn't know what this city god should do, and they immediately frowned one by one, holding the pen but not knowing how to put it down.
Judge Liu smiled calmly.
Before the examination of the city god, he deliberately went to Shimen County and visited the god Lu Xihai of Shimen County.
asked: "Dare to ask!"
"What are ghosts?"
At that time, Lu Xihai told him what the Empty Dust Dao Monarch said to him at that time, and Judge Liu finally understood the difference between this way of ghosts and gods and the Yin God system.
The yin gods are just a group of monsters dressed in the skin of gods, and ghosts and gods are really Shinto.
I wrote as soon as I put pen to paper.
"He is a city god to me!"
"When the people of Li in the state are sheltered, they accept the incense of all living beings and feed back to all living beings. ”
"If it is a city god, it should be the law of ghosts and gods!
"If it is a city god, it should be rid of the scourge of natural disasters!
“......”
Judge Liu wrote down word by word, and it became clearer and clearer what the ghosts and gods knew and what the city god should do.
"Knock~"
As a crisp bell rang above the sea of clouds, everyone stopped writing and got up.
Some people's faces are like ashes, some people's hearts are worried, and some people are confident.
The immortal god who was high above finally lowered his gaze.
As soon as the ghost envoy raised his hand, all the long scrolls flew up into the sea of clouds in a long line, spinning in the cloud vortex.
All the long scrolls bloomed with golden light, and every word on them flew out, surrounding the Immortal Saint.
Finally back on the long scroll.
Only at this moment, the order of each of the above volumes has been set.
"Let's go so far!"
The golden light continued to converge, and when everyone raised their heads, they found that the sky was slowly darkening.
In the end, the immortal followed the golden light and disappeared above the clouds.
It was only then that they reacted, and it turned out to be night, not day.
Above the sea of clouds, Chixia Yuanjun finally spoke.
"Zhou Mu! Renlongshou County, County God!" The old man who heard this name was ecstatic at first, and then suddenly realized that something was not right.
Why did you bring a Longshou County in front of your city god?
"Lu Weifang, the county seat of Fangnan County. The appearance of the second ghost and god made everyone sure that the position of this city god was available in every county and county.
“......”
After talking about the ghosts and gods of each county at the bottom, I finally came to the ghosts and gods of the state city of God's Mansion.
"Longhua!
"Nangu!
"The dog-headed envoy is the general of the shackles under the Chenghuang Mansion. ”
"Niu Envoy! Ren is the bull head general under the Chenghuang Mansion!"
Finally, he finally came to the lord of countless ghosts and gods in Quanzhou, the position of Huzhou City God, which everyone paid the most attention to.
"Huzhou Prefecture City God!"
"Liu Yuenlong!"
The last name is set, and the remaining people who are not selected fall directly into the clouds and return to the yang world.
Everyone immediately looked at the purple-clothed mustachioed man standing in the second row on the far left, and their eyes were full of envy, this is the real Lord of Ghosts and Gods in Yizhou.
But at this moment, the order was personally set by the Immortal Sage, and Chixia Yuanjun was personally sealed, and his divine position was a foregone conclusion.
Judge Liu knelt on the ground and respectfully said: "Xie Kongchen Daojun! Xie Chixia Yuanjun!"
Chixia Yuanjun also turned around and left.
The huge cloud cave in the sky closed, and everyone could no longer see the wonderful and wonderful scenery of the Heavenly Palace.
At this time, the ghost and god sitting in front stepped forward, and his posture became much more equal.
After all, these will be the same ghosts and gods as them in the future.
"When you go back, make preparations, and in three days it will be the time to ascend to God. ”
At that time, Er and the others will turn into ghosts and gods and go to their respective fiefdoms to take up their posts, and from then on, they will no longer be able to easily interfere in the affairs of the world. ”
This Chenghuang test has finally come to an end.
The new way of ghosts and gods, in the city god system.
Not only are there many city gods and ghost judgments that have been turned into humans, but there are also monsters as the position of ghost and god generals.
After all, this demon bloodline has been integrated into the countless beasts and livestock in the world, and it is impossible to kill them, and there will inevitably be monsters from generation to generation.
However, by integrating it into the Shinto system, it can turn the monster into the way of the ghosts and gods and solve this problem.
Start with this pot state.
The way of ghosts and gods and the city god system officially kicked off.
