In the streets and alleys of Huzhou City.

"Have you heard? All the gods and grandpas from our seven states, including Huzhou, Fengzhou, and Xunzhou, have all gone, not a single one is left." Someone told about the Hetian Pass in the nearest border and what happened in various places at night.

weird things,

"I saw that all the mages in the Jie Yamen were being evacuated. But I heard that from now on, all the gods south of the Wei Dynasty will be enshrined by Lord Kongchen, so all the Yin gods and mages must leave." Someone said.

The news heard from Master Jieya.

Many people knew about this matter, and word of mouth spread it, and everyone knew about it.

"The god we have here has been consecrated by Dao Lord Gui Kongchen?" Some people were shocked and couldn't believe it. It had been more than a hundred years since the Yin and Yang Boundary City of the Wei Dynasty was established. Suddenly, the gods changed, leaving many people with no idea at all.

believe.

"Kongchen Daojun? That immortal from the Great Zhou Dynasty?" Some people have also heard of this name.

"It's the immortal we saw at the Riyu God's Mansion that day. What kind of immortal is there in the Great Zhou Dynasty? Where do the gods belong?" Everyone was cautious when raising this matter. Things about monsters and ghosts are taboo, let alone the aloof immortals.

.

This is just folklore.

And some of the official families, Taoist disciples, and wealthy businessmen in the city already knew the even more shocking news.

"City God Examination!"

"The God of Huzhou?"

In the back hall of the governor's office, an official in vermilion-red clothes stood up immediately after hearing the news.

The subordinate officer in blue robes followed behind him and said unhurriedly: "Shilang Zhou, who just retired from the capital, is said to have been invited by the man of God."

"Not only that, I also heard that people from various states and counties have met gods in their dreams and sent letters."

"On the first day of the next month, there will be a grand examination of the City God. The leader will be the Lord of Ghosts and Gods in Huzhou."

"To control thousands of ghosts and gods, they can stay in the human world for a long time."

"Even if you don't become the Huzhou City God, it is said that as long as you are selected, you can become a ghost and god in a county and govern the affairs of the underworld."

The blue-robed official clapped his hands and said excitedly.

"The governor!"

"From now on, the Shinto here will be under the rule of Mr. Kongchen Taoist."

"Even the Lord of the Yin-Yang Realm City had to give in when faced with the Taoist Kongchen. Moreover, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty believed in the Taoist Kongchen."

"On this day, can you tell me whether it has really changed?"

The blue-robed official had something to say.

The governor of Huzhou still had never heard of such a thing: "As long as you are selected, a mortal can become a god?"

Mortals in the Wei Dynasty never thought that one day they could become gods.

The governor of Huzhou was uneasy when he heard this: "Can this god be made by a human?"

The blue-robed official nodded in agreement: "Of course, this is the position appointed by Taoist Master Kongchen to be the righteous god of this state!"

"It is said that anyone with good conduct and good moral character can enter the Yunzhong God Realm and compete with the Association for the position of the City God."

The governor was heartbroken: "Why didn't I receive the invitation from the man of God? I consider myself to be clean and honest, and I have managed this Huzhou to live and work in peace and contentment, which can be regarded as a certain achievement."

"Why don't gods favor me?"

The subordinate official immediately said: "You are the head of a state, and the official of the parents of the people in this world."

"If you become the God of this city, won't there be no one to take care of the affairs of the world?"

"I guess that's why the immortals didn't send any gods to invite them."

However, the governor of Huzhou sighed: "How can this mortal official compare with God!"

The Wei Dynasty advocated Shintoism, and it is not surprising that everyone has this idea.

If you look at how high the wandering gods were in the past, you can imagine that the governor, who was as flowing as water, lived in the central temple of Huzhou unchanged for hundreds of years and was worshiped by all the people.

The subordinate officer immediately stepped forward to share the governor's worries.

"Don't be anxious, Governor!"

"Xiaguan got a portrait and a statue of Kongchen Daojun from Dazhou. It is said to be extremely efficacious."

"Just fast, bathe, burn incense and pray."

"Kongchen Daojun will definitely know your thoughts."

The governor of Huzhou showed great joy: "Seriously?"

The blue-robed official immediately said: "It is said that this portrait and the statue came from the Daojun Temple in Shenjing of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"That Daojun Temple was the place where Daojun inherited the immortal temple and refined the elixir of immortality in the past. In the end, it was reduced to ruins in order to exterminate demons. However, the mountain gate is still there today, suppressing the demons from all directions who dare not get close to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"

"The Taoist who sold me this thing said that as long as the heart is sincere and free of distracting thoughts, it will be effective."

The blue-robed officials swear by their oaths.

All of a sudden, the portraits and statues of Kongchen Daojun from all over Huzhou were sold like hotcakes, and everyone rushed to grab them.

Some people did not hesitate to spend a lot of money, just because the god was said to have been enshrined in the Great Zhou Dynasty Temple, and the wood was taken from the Taoyuan Sacred Tree in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

All sellers say so.

The object in my hand came from the Daojun Temple and Si Tianjian of Dazhou, and some even said it came from under Laoshan Mountain.

This is a rare treasure and only a few pairs are available for sale.

However, they are sold everywhere in the city and county of Dezhou.

These limited editions are for sale and have not been sold out yet.

——————————————

The night of the first month of the month.

As night falls, some people at home are anxious and restless, as if they are afraid of missing the moment.

Some people fasted and bathed early, and sat quietly under the statue of Kongchen Taoist Lord. There was also a statue of Chixia Yuanjun hanging beside them. There was no expression on their faces, and they recited the Taoist scriptures with great piety, but in fact they were still panicked in their hearts.

There are also people who hold the scriptures of sages and study hard temporarily, as if they regard the City God Examination as an imperial examination.

These are all people invited by gods and men.

There are decrepit old men, and there are also young and vigorous men. Most of them are calm and well-educated people of their age.

Half of the people are well-read in poetry and literature, and most of them have experience as officials, with outstanding official reputation and outstanding political achievements.

The other half are disciples of various Taoist sects and serve as Yin officials.

Everyone is anxious at this moment because they don’t know how the City God Examination will come.

No one can guess the methods of immortals, they can only be full of expectation and anxiety.

When the moon rises above the treetops, the dim light illuminates the world, and the silver glow fills the earth.

Everyone suddenly felt their heads sink. They just wanted to lie down and fall asleep, and then suddenly woke up.

Something strange happened.

Everyone felt as light as the wind, floating towards the roof. Clouds and mist surrounded them, pushing them out of the house and towards the sky.

Everyone exclaimed at first, and then gradually became familiar with it, leaving only cheers.

They had only seen this kind of scene in books, and they had never experienced this kind of thing before.

Watching the clouds carrying them higher and higher, they realized at this moment that in the realm of clouds, they really wanted to take the city god exam in the sky.

The city under your feet is getting smaller and smaller, and the clouds in the sky are getting closer and closer.

They began to see that they were not the only ones flying into the sky.

In the distance, people who were taking the City God's Examination like them one after another rode the clouds and mist towards the clouds in the sky. The closer they got to the sky and the sea of ​​clouds, the closer they got to each other.

At one time, there were probably hundreds of people.

Many of them are acquaintances of each other.

"Brother Zhou, you are here too!"

"Mr. Hu! You too, I didn't know any news before!"

"Old Qin, are you there too? It's really hard for you to hide this from me!"

Several other Taoists looked at each other in shock when they saw each other.

"Brother Longhua! Didn't you say yesterday that you were going to the north soon?" Someone exclaimed, eyes widening.

"Ashamed! Ashamed!"

"The Immortal invites you to take the test between gods and men. I really don't dare to publicize it casually! Brother Nangu, you are also very tight-lipped, but I haven't heard any news at all!" The other party said he was ashamed, but it was not visible on his face at all.
