Chapter 289 Misunderstanding
Based on the information he had found before, Zhang Shaoyun had already believed what the mountain god Zhou Hong said.
Then he ran to the Duma County Land Temple, lit the incense of gods again, and attracted the gods to ask for questions.
After repeated incidents, the rumors finally confirmed that the City God of Wanshan Prefecture did not have much connection with Yuqing Dao. However, Zhang Shaoyun's question appeared in his mind: the four cities of Junzhou, Wanshan Prefecture, according to one of them, how could those Taoists of Yuqing Dao give up the fortune of the Shendao and let the City God belong to him?
He suddenly remembered the old story of Dushui Shuijun a few years ago, and then realized it in his heart. After being furious with Dushui Shuijun, Yuqingdao's strength was greatly reduced and it has not yet recovered.
Now that the world is in chaos, the battle for dragons has begun, Yuqingdao has no extra power to intervene in the divine way.
This is why the City God of Wanshan Prefecture was allowed to escape from the control of the Taoist temple. Although Zhang Shaoyun's inference had many fallacies, he guessed the dilemma of Yuqing Dao.
Since the Taoist temple does not interfere, there is great potential for planning for Marquis of Liang. The most important point now is to be recognized by the City God of Wanshan Prefecture.
He didn't think there was any difficulty in this matter. Judging from the information he had inquired, this god was obviously extremely domineering. He had the opportunity to expand the divine realm, but he would not refuse it if he thought he would.
After thinking about it over and over again, Zhang Shaoyun returned to the government office.
When night fell, he came alone outside the City God Temple and respectfully saluted to the statue: "Zhang Shaoyun, the envoy under the Marquis of Liang, is here to pay special attention to the City God."
"Oh... he is still here?" Seeing the middle-aged scholar outside the temple through the imperial talisman, Chang Jin withdrew his spiritual sense and looked at General Ganliu Liu Mudao, "A monk came to his door outside the temple. Go and ask him what he has to do and send him away as he please."
After this man rushed to the land of Ma County during the day to find out about his news, Wang Yan sent a talisman to inform him. Chang Jinwei really didn't have much favorable feelings for these monks, and he did not intend to show up to meet them.
"Yes" After receiving the order, Liu Mu led two ghost soldiers to turn away.
Soon the portal of the Yinsi Divine Domain opened, and the figures of three ghosts appeared from it. Liu Mu was not polite, but just shouted: "The immortals and gods are not subordinate to each other. What's the matter with you, a monk, to find my master?"
Seeing that the other party's tone was cold, Zhang Shaoyun was naturally displeased, but in order to plan things, he had to temporarily say: "I am Zhang Shaoyun, the envoy under the Marquis of Liang. Today, I came to pay a visit to the City God and send a letter."
"Where is the letter now? Give it to me." After hearing this, Liu Mu took a step forward and stretched out his big hand.
"Sorry, when I came, my marquis gave me a special order that this letter could only be handed to the City God's hand." After Zhang Shaoyun took out the letter from his arms, he did not deliver it. He just stood there, holding the thin letter with both hands.
His purpose in coming to Wanshan Mansion was to meet the city god and then lobby. With just one letter, how could the interview work in person?
"What do you want?" Liu Mu stood four or five feet away, and could feel a sudden pressure coming from the letter, shot straight into the Yinsi Divine Realm.
"It turns out that I have really been ordered by the Marquis of Liang." Feeling the pressure emitted by the seal of the humanitarian government, Chang Jin's heart moved slightly, and his voice rang in Liu Mu's mind: "Take him to the ghost town."
Liu Mu's face changed and he saluted at Zhang Shaoyun and said, "My master wants to see you, come with me..."
As he said that, he pinched a hand gesture and opened the portal of Yinsi Shenyu again.
Because of the transmission of Liang Hou, Zhang Shaoyun had been to the Divine Realm of the City God Yinsi of Xiajiang Prefecture. There were black fog everywhere, exuding a decay atmosphere.
Only around the City God's Mansion can you feel a little warmth.
As the ghost general stepped into this place, Zhang Shaoyun felt that the divine realm was filled with a calm and peaceful aura, which did not make people feel cold at all.
However, after walking hundreds of steps forward, the surroundings were about to become gray. Zhang Shaoyun's confusion arose again and couldn't help but ask, "General Liu, where do you want to take me?"
"Of course I'm going to take you to meet my master. The master is now in the mansion and has no time to come out to greet you." Liu Mu answered without looking back without knowing that he was confused.
"Oh..." Zhang Shaoyun finally felt relieved after hearing his accent.
When he walked forward again, he felt that the yin energy on both sides was getting heavier and he couldn't help but ask: "Where is the City God Mansion? Why do I feel like I've been walking deep into the earth veins?"
"Just ahead, I'm here." Liu Mu took a few steps and pinched a hand gesture.
Zhang Shaoyun felt that there was a sudden enlightenment in front of him, and another new world was another.
Looking forward, I saw a big city standing in front of me, tall and mighty. The structure of this city is very similar to the Yangshi Wanshan Prefecture City. There are four big characters "Wanshan Ghost City" engraved on the city gate, which is extremely eye-catching.
"This is Wanshan Ghost City. Why hasn't the ghost city be destroyed here?" Zhang Shaoyun was shocked when he saw the city.
"This city has been destroyed, but it was my master who used his divine power to manifest it again." Seeing the expression on the other person's face, Liu Mu explained proudly.
"You said that this big city was later manifested by the City God. How could it be possible? He has only been a few months since he ascended the priesthood of the City God. How could he accumulate so much incense and mental power?" Zhang Shaoyun's face was incredible.
As a monk, he naturally knew many secrets of the two paths of immortals and gods. Hundreds of years ago, the Immortal Tao defeated the gods. In order to prevent the strength of the gods from recovering, the Taoist temple had already destroyed all the ghosts in the Yin City.
To re-evolve it, it will take a lot of energy to consume. Even if it is manifested, you must continue to invest. No god is willing to do such a thankless thing.
This god's behavior was indeed extraordinary. Zhang Shaoyun's heart was shocked at this moment, and he no longer knew how to face the City God later.
When he entered the city, he was slightly stunned again.
The street in front of me is spacious, with ghosts coming and going. I suddenly looked at it, and it was not much different from the street in Yangshi.
But when he saw him coming, the ghosts hurriedly retreated aside, obviously afraid of being shining by the green light inside and outside his body.
There was Liu Mu leading the way ahead, and there were no ghost soldiers on the way. Soon, he arrived in front of the City God's Mansion. Liu Mu turned around and said, "You can come here later. I will report to the master in the mansion."
"Don't have to worry about this, bring him in." At this time, Chang Jin's voice ran through the mansion and rang in their ears.
"Yes," Liu Mu responded and walked on the trail: "Empress, please"
Following the ghost general into the hall, he saw a man sitting upright in a crown robe on the platform, and there were several ghost soldiers standing next to him. Although he couldn't see the other side clearly, Master Zhang knew that this god must be the City God. He immediately stepped forward a few steps and saluted respectfully and said, "Zhang Shaoyun, the envoy under the Marquis of Liang, pay homage to Master Cheng God."
"No gifts" Chang Jin did not intend to waste time with the other party, and asked directly: "Mr. Liang ordered you to see me, what's wrong?"
"Mr. Liang has a letter here, and the City God will know it at a glance." Zhang Shaoyun took out the letter again.
"Submitted"
After Chang Jin spoke, a ghost soldier immediately came forward to take the letter and delivered it to him.
The letter was stamped with the seal of Liang Hou, which contained a hint of official spirit, so it was naturally not fake. Chang Jin took a few glances and had already recorded the contents of the letter.
Then he put down the letter and stared at the middle-aged scholar standing in the audience and said, "Xiajiang Mansion is not a godless city. Yuqing Road has a city god land there. Why did Marquis Liang ask me to take charge?"
The content in the letter is very simple. Marquis Liang first expressed his respect, and then tried his best to invite the City God to take charge of the Xiajiang Mansion Shinto. When he was approaching the City God, Chang Jin had already set a goal and he would take it sooner or later.
But he had no intention of responding to the invitation from Mr. Liang.
"It's so that the City God knows that although the divine way of Xiajiang Mansion is under the jurisdiction of Yuqing Mansion, those Taoists only know how to ask for incense and fire from the gods, and do not care about the rest. Now the divine way of Xiajiang Mansion is corrupt, the gods are unvirtuous, and evil spirits are growing. The secular people of Xiajiang Mansion are full of resentment. The Marquis really can't stand it, so they ordered me to look for the righteous gods everywhere. At this moment, the reputation of the City God was introduced to Xiajiang Mansion. After hearing this, the Marquis sent Shaoyun as an envoy to come here to ask the City God to return to Xiajiang Mansion to take charge and clean up the ghosts and monsters under his command.
Shaoyun had just arrived in Wanshan Mansion for a day. When the people here talked about the City God, they all praised him as the righteous and clever god..." Zhang Shaoyun bowed and said.
"Your Marquis is intent." Chang Jin replied without comment. Looking at the banner, you can see how high Liang Hou's employing skills are from Du Ruhai's actions.
He didn't believe it at all if he admired his reputation, in order to rule the people, etc.
After a pause, Chang Jin said again: "Thank you to Liang Hou for praise, but my god's own laws are limited. 'Sacrificial sacrifice is nothing but hope. This City God is a god in Wanshan Mansion. If he moves to Xiajiang Mansion, it will probably cause humanitarian backlash."
"Don't worry, when the City God moves to the throne, the Marquis will lead officials under his rule to sacrifice to help the City God gain humane recognition." Zhang Shaoyun responded quickly as if the other party was already moved.
"I am still worried that the Taoist temple will not allow it." Chang Jin continued to sigh.
"Mr. City God is afraid that this throne has not received Yuqing Dao's permission?" Zhang Shaoyun asked with a smile.
"Yuqing Dao can tolerate this City God occupying the position of the Wanshan Mansion, which is already the limit. If this City God is ungrateful and then commands the Jiang Mansion God, Yuqing Dao will definitely not ignore it." Chang Jin refused again.
"I wonder how the City God will be willing to ascend to the throne of Xiajiang Mansion?" Zhang Shaoyun saw the other party around and refused to agree, and couldn't help but say a little annoyed.
"Hehe" Chang Jin smiled indifferently, staring at the middle-aged scholars in the audience.
Although he did not make any other moves, the huge pressure on his eyes made Zhang Shaoyun's soul tremble slightly, and he hurriedly said, "What is this intention of Master Chenghuang?"
"You should ask what your marquis meant. The divine way of the Xiajiang Mansion is in chaos, so you come to Wanshan Mansion to invite the gods. I really think that this city god is a fool, was it Yuqing Dao sent you here, and want to trick this city god out of the divine realm and then take down the divine position?" When he spoke, Chang Jin's voice had become cold.
Previously, he was an enemy of Yuqing Dao, and Chang Jin had thought about the methods of those Taoists to deal with him. There was no other way except to isolate the divine realm.
If you want to isolate the divine realm, the first thing is the magic array. This method, Jade Qing Dao has been used and has been broken by yourself.
The second type is to kill outside the divine realm. You should know that once the gods leave the divine realm, their realm will plummet without the support of incense. Although Chang Jin himself is a cultivator in the Earth Immortal Realm and does not rely solely on incense power, if he does not support incense power, he will pull him into the formation and his spiritual power will not be replenished and will eventually be exhausted. When he is sent to several Taoist people of a certain level to siege him, he is very likely to kill him.
A few days ago, Taoist Kunshan said that he was rejected by himself, and the middle-aged monk happened to appear here, tempting him with his divine position, and his motives were forcing him to suspect.
"Why did the City God say this?" Zhang Shaoyun was a little surprised. After doing so much investigation before, he wanted to know that this god had nothing to do with Yuqingdao. As a result, when things came to an end, he caused suspicion.
