Chapter 242 The big surprise is coming
For the ceremony tonight, Chang Jin specially wore a Shinto crown garment: Liang Guan, Chiluo garment, and a sword on his waist.
Looking down, the gods below were clearly divided. Xiaoqian led his water gods to form a team and stood on the left. In the middle was the land of the mountain gods.
As for those inconsistent grass-headed gods, they stood at the back of the hall. There was also an acquaintance among them, the Water Ghost King Mingtang in Yuema Hanoi.
Before attending the mansion examination, Chang Jin worked as a teacher at Huangfu Nanshan's house, teaching fox demons to study, and had an intersection with Wang Mingtang. He had a good impression of this. He originally planned to take up the position of the City God and talk to the other party about the past, but he did not expect Xiaoqian to invite him too. Seeing that Wang Mingtang's incense and spiritual power is Chi Qing, it is obviously not far from the breakthrough.
Wang Mingtang felt Chang Jin's gaze at this moment, but he just smiled and nodded slightly.
In the hall, most of the gods saw Chang Jin for the first time and looked up to investigate.
I saw the benefactor on the stage shining with light, calm and heroic posture, and a rich layer of green light was condensed all over his body, which was more than three feet away, and was so mysterious. More importantly, in the green air, mountains, rivers appeared faintly, and as his breath continued to rise and fall.
Seeing this situation, many gods were shocked.
No wonder the other party dared to forcibly ascend to the position of the City God: only by understanding the laws of heaven and earth and refining them into true texts can one integrate into the divine realm. None of the gods present can do this.
His eyes swept across the faces of the gods, Chang Jin paused and said aloud: "... The City God was ordered to do what the people are, and to take charge of the divine realm of the palace. His responsibilities are to clear evil spirits, eliminate resentment, resolve lawsuits, transform virtue into people, and send ghosts... All these are the key tasks of the divine power.
Unfortunately, after Wei Yuan ascended the priest of the City God, he only sought incense and thoughts, but did not know how to clear the evil spirits and resentment under his rule. What the people asked for had never been effective. This was because he had no virtue. Now that the ghosts in Wanshan Prefecture City had grown up, the human fortune was greatly declining, which was because Wei Yuan was incompetent. He led his troops to attack other gods at will. This was because he had no morals.
Without virtue, power, and without morality, even if you occupy the position of the City God, you will not be recognized by humanity.
...Last year, Dushui Shuijun led people to flood Wanshan Mansion. The people along the way fell into the water. Chang happened to meet and went to the water to save people. At that time, he was trusted by the people and built temples to sacrifice. Now it has been more than a year. Chang was not talented and wanted to ascend to the position of the City God, clear away evil spirits, and return the sacred path of Wanshan Mansion to a clearing light. I wonder if everyone agrees?
When the words are spoken, the mountains, rivers and rivers behind them move with them, and a trace of incense and thoughts are integrated into them to bless them.
No one in the audience responded, but he lowered his head slightly and looked at each other. Even Tu Yifang stood there, motionless.
Seeing this, Chang Jin couldn't help but feel sank. He didn't expect these gods to fully agree, but as long as there is partial recognition, the ceremony can be carried out. I pray to the humanitarian later, and I believe that the people who believe in the benefactor will definitely agree. In this way, he can try his best to ascend to the throne.
He believed that with his own strength, he would soon be able to complete the divine realm.
Even if the Taoist court attacks, I will not be afraid.
If no one answers, the first step of my ceremony will not be able to continue.
Those land and mountain gods were originally waiting and watching, but now they saw that no one answered, so they would not speak up on their own initiative, and they were secretly happy.
Although the benefactor's god is unfathomable, he cannot become a righteous god without being granted the imperial edict of the Taoist court. If he worships him, what if the Taoist court pursues it?
Now that's the case, it's better
Chang Jin was about to arouse the imperial edict and ask for it for a second time. A voice suddenly came from a distance: "The little one is the Shenma Shoucai of Majia Village, paying homage to the City God."
As soon as this voice came out, the gods looked shocked and quickly turned their heads to look.
I saw an old man in thick clothes kneeling respectfully on the ground behind the hall.
"Little God Wang Mingtang, I have met the City God." Almost the next moment, another voice sounded again. At a critical moment, Wang Mingtang knelt on the ground and kowtowed to support him.
Two grass-headed gods knelt down one after another, and the voice seemed to be contagious. For a moment, the gods behind the palace knelt on the ground one after another.
"Little God Zhang Dalang...Little God Liu...Watch the City God"
As they recognized it, the various lucks above Chang Jin's head quickly condensed and became thicker and thicker, forming a chariot on the top of his head. However, the chariot was not complete, just a phantom.
These grass-headed gods have a low level of realm, and most of them have only a little bit of their mind, but they accumulate a lot. More than a dozen people kneel down, and Chang Jin can clearly sense his own fortune, which is a manifestation of being recognized by the Shinto.
Seeing that no more gods knelt down, Chang Jin took a breath and shouted a second voice: "I want to ascend to the position of the City God today. Do you have any objections?"
As the sound fell, the river behind me began to flow, and the mountains next to me also began to rise.
At this time, a thunder suddenly came from the night sky above Engong Temple.
"Boom--" The sound was dull and huge, and it was directly transmitted into the divine realm. The gods only felt their minds buzzing. When they looked at the stage again, they found another green light falling from the divine realm, injecting into the talisman above the head of the benefactor god.
Although this green light is narrow, it is endless.
In the eyes of everyone, the fortune of the benefactor god grew rapidly. In a moment, the colorful clouds above their heads were as big as straw mats, hanging down like huge canopies, covering the imperial talisman.
How is the merit and fortune brought down by humanity? What did the benefactor god do?... Feeling the true text hidden in the green energy, many gods were so shocked that they couldn't stop talking.
As gods, as long as they keep their rule clear, humanity will have merits, but most of them will only be reduced by a few. This is the first time they have seen this in front of them.
Xiaoqian didn't find it strange. When she promoted the river god melon to the people, she also gained favor from humanity.
The word "honored" in this world not only means paying attention, but also means being favored by humanity and bringing down the merits of green qi.
This shows that the gods on the stage are protected by humanity.
When the green energy in the void just now, Chang Jin was also a little shocked, not understanding why the green energy suddenly descended. Could it be that he had killed the evil god in foreign land, or because of the river god melon? He had a lot of questions in his heart, and he couldn't investigate it at this moment, so he had to let the green energy inject.
Seeing the green aura descending, the remaining grass-headed gods could no longer help but. They all possessed themselves and knelt down.
Before he knew it, the cloud above Chang Jin's head had already become a little light yellow.
The land standing in the center of the hall looked at each other, wondering if they should kneel down. Although the incense and thoughts on the gods on the stage were brilliant, most of the imperial edicts were still incomplete, which means they were not integrated. If they did not agree to the other party ascend to the position of the City God, the ceremony would not continue.
Sometimes silence is equivalent to opposition. Their current attitude is no different from opening a mouth to prevent each other from becoming a god. The entire hall was quiet for a moment.
Although these land mountain gods lowered their heads, they "instinctively" felt that the benefactor god on the stage was watching them, with endless pressure.
Instinctively, my heart began to panic. At this moment, I had the urge to kneel down and surrender.
If they concentrate on checking their natal energy at this moment, they will find that there are invisible true texts falling in the void, wanting to disturb their judgment.
Of course, these secret techniques that are not used very well in the true texts are blessed by the laws of the divine way in the talisman.
However, with Chang Jin's current realm, this divine law is not particularly powerful. Although the land and mountain gods had the urge to surrender, they secretly gritted their teeth and persevered.
It is now the most critical time to ascend to the throne, and it only takes one opportunity to complete it.
Just when Chang Jin was about to shout the third sound, Xiaoqian, who was standing in front, suddenly knelt down and said softly: "The God of Baishui River Xiaoqian pays homage to the City God."
Her voice was not loud, but the impact was no less than an earthquake.
There are several mountain gods with lower realms, whose fate has begun to shaky and are almost about to surrender.
Seeing Xiaoqian kneeling on the ground, Chang Jin was surprised first, and then understood. This was the surprise Xiaoqian said a few days ago. It turned out that she had expected this festival and was dedicated to helping her at the most critical moment.
"The river god of Jinshatan...the river god of rocks...the river god of Zhengqugou...the river god of Cheng God...had seen the city god" Xiaoqian's voice was like an order, and the next moment the water vein gods knelt down one after another.
In this way, most of the colorful clouds above Chang Jin's head have formed, and only a few minutes away from forming.
"I am Tu Yifang, the land of Tongqu County, and pay homage to the City God." Tu Yifang finally spoke.
Buzzing... The talisman hissing. Tu Yifang's voice was like the last straw that crushed the camel. The knees of the gods who had gritted their teeth and insisted seemed to be hit hard, and they instinctively knelt on the ground and bowed.
Almost at the same time, the incense that was released rushed to the imperial edict talismans frantically and turned into real texts to attach them to them.
Finally, the edict was completed
Looking at Chang Jin again, his whole body seemed even more unfathomable. The clouds flowed above his head and the mist rose. Looking closely, there was a ray of light wavy behind his head.
"Everyone, please get up quickly..." Chang Jin smiled and raised his right hand with a faint smile.
"Thank you, Master Chenghuang." He knelt down and kowtowed, and the gods were nominal ministers, so their names naturally changed.
But I thought it was too simple before. If it weren't for Xiaoqian today, I wouldn't have been so smooth to pray to Shinto just now.
At this moment, Chang Jin had completely figured out the "big surprise" that Xiaoqian said. The method she used was very similar to Liu Ying's method of fighting for the throne on earth.
It is said that after Liu Bang ascended the throne, he originally made his eldest son Liu Ying the crown prince and his second son Ruyi the King of Zhao. Later, Liu Bang saw that Liu Ying was naturally cowardly and was displeased, so he wanted to change his second son Ruyi.
After Liu Ying found out, he was very anxious and followed Zhang Liang's idea and hired the four wise men of Shangshan to help him with gold, silver and jade.
At a banquet, the "Four Elders" who were already eighty years old accompanied the Crown Prince Liu Ying to the banquet, which surprised Liu Bang. Seeing that the Crown Prince had four great sages assisted, Liu Bang immediately eliminated the idea of replacing King Ruyi of Zhao as the crown prince.
This is to take advantage of the situation. Chang Jin ascended the throne of gods for only more than a month. Although his realm is profound, his original prestige is not enough to make those land and mountain gods surrender.
Xiaoqian bowed at a critical moment, which naturally brought them great shock, and began to recognize Chang Jin in her heart.
As for Tu Yifang, it is the last link. He and these land mountain gods belong to the same category, and they are considered to breaking the defense line from the inside.
Chapter completed!
