Chapter 14: The Night Wanderer

Yinshui Creek is a stream that originates from Xiaoyin Mountain, which has dozens of miles of winding and irrigates the farmland under the county on both sides. Yinshui Creek is connected with the tributary of Tongtian River, and is one of the streams that the people in the western part of Yuzhou rely on for survival. To the north of Xiaoyin Mountain is the Dayin Mountain area that spreads for thousands of miles, and further north is the Taishan Mountain of Fengzen Divine Mountain in the north. There are many wild and mountainous places in the north of the Great Jin Dynasty, the people are fierce, and there are many bandits.

In the dark river under Yinshui Creek, many of the filthy demons and external evils of the survivors here are all mountain monsters flowing out of Yinshan Mountain and Dayin Mountain in the north, and then the souls of the living people under the rule of Feicheng County after their deaths.

At the foot of Xiaoyin Mountain, there is a village called Linxi Village, as the name suggests, the village is close to Yinshui Creek, and there are many woods and orchards near Xiaoyin Mountain.

The area along the riverbank of Linxi Village is where the water ghost who took the lead in attacking the emperor is located. In the underground dark river of this stream, there are many other filthy monsters that live, but among the evil spirits in the entire Yin Water Creek, water ghosts should be respected.

At this time, the water ghost possessed by Qiantai had returned to its lair. This river ghost has been refined into a ghost and god clone by Qiantai.

There is a 'soul godhead' in Qiantai's body, which was obtained in his previous life. That was what he had gained from the 'Soul Lord God' when he was still the Ghost Emperor of Yandu before he was reborn. Since Qiantai was reborn, the godhead of this soul main god has been sealed in his own sea of consciousness, and even Qiantai can't touch it.

A few years ago, Qiantai got the help of luck, broke through the karma of the heavenly court and opened the sea of knowledge, and Qiantai also officially began to practice the "Heavenly Wheel of Life and Death" imperial exercises. On the same day on the Wanghai Mountain, he pulled the 'godhead' in the sea of knowledge into the dantian in one fell swoop, and after a few months of refining and conceiving his own internal qi, he turned into a strange treasure 'spirit bead'.

Originally, Qiantai didn't think about how to use such a strange treasure, until a month ago in the prince's palace in the East Palace, after listening to the prince and others about the change of dynasty, he had the idea of making another plan to prepare a way back. Since that day, Qiantai has planned to use this 'spirit bead' in the dantian to practice the second elemental god.

The 'Second Yuan God Method' is a practice that was collected in his previous life as the ghost emperor of the underworld to practice the 'Second Yuan God', this method is the true transmission of those demonic cultivators in the previous life, practice the second Yuan God, divide yourself into two, not only can you have an extra life, but also can practice at the same time, rely on each other, can be described as a superior doppelganger technique.

However, this kind of magic method requires spiritual treasures as treasures to entrust the 'Yuan Soul Spirit', and Qiantai has never obtained any treasures since he came to this world, only the 'godhead' of this soul main god has been conceived by his own 'Imperial Dragon Qi' for several months, and turned into a 'treasure bead', which is just used as the method of cultivating the second Yuan God.

In the end, when Qiantai saw the monster attacking the ship on the dragon boat, he felt that the opportunity had come, so he waited for the opportunity to contact the water ghost, and took the risk of beating the 'godhead' into the body of the water ghost in front of the waiter Lu Cheng, taking away the water ghost, refining the water ghost into another ghost and god clone of himself, and fled back to the original Xiaoyin Mountain lair of the water ghost overnight.

Later, the Qiantai of the body of the ghost and god, that is, the new water ghost who called himself 'Yandu', fled back to the old nest of Yinshan Creek and woke up here.

This is the origin of the escape of the water ghost in the dragon boat on the Tongtian River.

These days, Qiantai has carefully comprehended the difference between the two bodies, and used the remaining divine power in the godhead to cultivate the "Heavenly Life and Death Gong", and officially achieved the real ghost and god body.

This ghost god, also known as the god of yin, can also be clear from the name, for the soul of the living soul after death, to practice the law of Shinto faith, the main yin and yang two worlds.

For example, in the underworld in the previous life, there were countless ghost people, among which there were ghosts and gods who performed their own duties, such as: night wandering gods, ghost chasers, judges, ghost immortals, ghost emperors, and the land of the yang world, mountain gods, road gods, and city god dramas all belong to ghosts and gods. This ghost and god also has a hierarchy, and the saying of 'crushing people at the level of the official' is even clearer in the Yin Division, and the different ranks are not only different from the ability under their jurisdiction, but also represent the different mana on the body.

In the Eastern Shinto system, it is different from the gods of other lands, from bottom to top: the ghost people after the death of the living soul, the night wandering god with low mana, the land and mountain gods who govern a territory, the city god who is in charge of the yin and yang domains, the ghost fairy who enjoys the positive fruits of heaven and earth, and the ghost emperor who advocates the life and death of all living beings.

The water ghost in front of Qiantai's possession was originally an unruly and muddy external evil ghost, and in his previous life, he was only equivalent to a ghost with some foundations. After Qiantai possessed him, he used the remaining scarce divine power in the godhead to re-refine the filthy qi on the water ghost's body, and was reborn into a little ghost with the power of the gods.

After Qiantai possessed him, in order to distinguish the body itself, he named the water ghost the name of his previous life: Yandu, in order to entrust his past in his previous life.

Shinto is about doing merit and rewarding punishments, shepherding peoples, and collecting faith. The so-called 'divine power' is also a strange power transformed by absorbing the power of faith combined with the aura of heaven and earth. The reason why Yan Du was only a lowest-level 'Night Wandering God' at this time was because no one had yet believed in Yan Du.

Only by gaining the faith of all sentient beings can we obtain the endless power of faith and continue to advance. This is the main path that this doppelganger will take in the future, just like himself in his previous life, to win the faith and awe of everyone, and finally re-establish this underworld, rewarding and punishing the reincarnation of sentient beings.

Fortunately, Yan Du had already shed his filthy body when he woke up, and he had already achieved the lowest level of 'Night Wandering God'. Although this 'Night Wanderer' has a low ability, he also has the ability to 'dream through words' and can communicate with the people.

The night wandering god is the head of the evil ghosts, and has the priesthood of inspecting the grievances and good and evil in the world, and can go in and out of the living creatures every night, monitor the people who are reluctant and hurt to do things, and during the day, retire. They will also 'hold dreams', do things that intimidate and admonish, and eliminate evil and promote good. The Night Wandering God is already a member of Shinto, although it is the lowest level, but it can also be worshiped by people and absorb the power of incense faith.

After Yan Du, the second primordial god doppelganger, woke up and thought clearly about the current situation of his doppelganger, he stayed in the Dark River Cave Mansion under the river near Linxi Village, and came out every day to explore the surrounding situation and familiarize himself with this new identity.
