Chapter 173: Huzhou City God(2/3)
Ashamed.
Many people started talking directly from high in the sky.
However, they didn't say much. Everyone was full of thoughts, and their thoughts were not at all on chatting and reminiscing.
Gradually they gathered together and reached the clouds all the way. The surrounding clouds and mist rose and no one else could be seen.
Finally breaking through the clouds and arriving above the sea of clouds, I saw a bright light shining above.
"Is this the realm in the clouds?" Someone looked around, seeing clouds and mist surrounding them, and a golden glow. The light made them feel a little dazzling, and they quickly blocked it.
"Why is it daytime above the clouds?" Some people also discovered something unusual.
"It's not the sun! It's an immortal, an immortal saint!" Someone looked up and exclaimed.
Everyone raised their heads and finally saw where the light came from.
Just found out.
Above the layers of clouds above the head, a huge cloud cave opens, and above the cloud vortex is revealed the sacred and vast Heavenly Palace.
But the most eye-catching thing at this moment is a god sitting on the cloud vortex.
It is like a giant statue standing between heaven and earth, with golden light shining through the sea of clouds thousands of miles into golden clouds.
Beside the immortal Dharma form, a goddess stood aside.
The two of them were overlooking the sea of clouds below. This scene suddenly reminded many people of the statues of saints and saints placed high above them when they took part in the examination. They looked at them like this, as if they could penetrate the ugliness and light in everyone's hearts.
But at that time, there were only clay statues on the altar.
And at this moment.
What they faced was the real immortal god.
The exams they took were not earthly officials, but the ghosts and gods under the Immortal God's throne.
This shock and pressure are far worse than a thousand times.
They are above this cloud, taking the City God's exam.
Under the gaze of immortals, gods and heaven and earth.
There is no trace of fraud or ostentation. What is tested is not their literary and military skills, but their original intention to face this world.
Judge Liu was among the crowd, looking up at Daojun Kongchen: "Is that the true form of Daojun Kongchen?"
Judge Liu suddenly remembered what was written in "The Biography of Emperor Bao Gong".
Emperor Baogong once looked up at the Immortal Saint Xian Gate under the sacred mountain. Perhaps what he saw was this scene?
Everyone bowed together.
"Greetings to Lord Kongchen!"
"Greetings to Lord Chixia Yuan!"
At this time, ghosts and gods wearing divine robes walked out of the clouds and mist above the sea of clouds, headed by the ghost and god envoys under Chixia Yuanjun.
Along the sea of clouds, more than a dozen seats of ghosts and gods appeared in a row.
Right in the front and center is the ghost envoy, who is the main examiner this time.
More ghosts and gods came out from behind and stood together with them.
It turns out that these ghosts and gods also want to compete with them for the position of the Huzhou City God, or in other words, for other gods in the State City God's Mansion.
The ghosts and gods shouted: "Ghosts and gods!"
"Take charge of ghost affairs in the underworld and suppress evil spirits."
"It does not belong to the human world, and does not return to the Yang world."
"From now on, yin and yang are separated. You can't show up in the human world easily, and you can't meddle in the affairs of the yang world at will."
"Those who don't want to, turn around and leave immediately and return to the lower world."
Most of the people who come here have already thought about it, and most of them are quite old. If they have this opportunity, of course they won't give it up.
However, some people still hesitated, and the ghost envoy sent them back without saying anything.
In an instant, the clouds descended and fell into the human world.
These people woke up in horror from the feeling of falling, only to find that they were still at home, as if what they had just experienced was just an illusory dream.
But above the sea of clouds, the City God Examination is still in progress.
The ghosts and gods waved their hands again, and a desk appeared in front of everyone, with pens, inks, paper and inkstones ready.
After everyone and the ghosts and gods listed as taking the exam bowed and sat down, they found that the long papers had been placed on the table and the exam questions were listed.
There are only four words at the beginning.
"If you were a city god."
Everyone who came here already knew that the City God was the lord of ghosts and gods in Huzhou, but they didn't know what the City God should do. They all frowned and held the pen but didn't know how to write.
Judge Liu smiled calmly.
Before attending the Chenghuang Examination, he made a special trip to Shimen County to visit Shen Lu Xihai of Shimen County.
Asked: "Dare to ask!"
"What are ghosts and gods?"
Lu Xihai told him what Kongchen Daojun said at that time, and Judge Liu finally understood the difference between the way of ghosts and gods and the Yinshen system.
The Yin gods are just a group of monsters wearing the skin of gods, while ghosts and gods are the real Shinto.
Write as soon as you put pen to paper.
"He treats me like a city god!"
"We should protect the common people in the state, accept the incense of all living beings and feed them back."
"If you are a city god, you should determine the laws of ghosts and gods! Divide the order of yin and yang!"
"If you are a city god, you should eliminate natural disasters and destroy evil spirits!"
"..."
As Judge Liu wrote word for word, it became clearer and clearer what ghosts and gods should do when they know how to deal with it.
"Boom~"
As a clear bell rang above the sea of clouds, everyone stopped writing and stood up.
Some people are ashen-faced, some are worried, and some are confident.
The aloof immortal finally lowered his eyes.
As soon as the ghost envoy raised his hand, all the long scrolls lined up into a long dragon and flew up to the sea of clouds, 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, it returned to the long scroll.
But at this moment, the order of each volume above has been determined.
"Follow this order!"
The golden light continued to converge, and when everyone raised their heads, they found that the sky was slowly getting dark.
Finally, the immortal followed the golden light and disappeared above the clouds.
Only then did they realize that it was night, not day.
Above the sea of clouds, Chixia Yuanjun finally spoke.
"Zhou Mu! Ren Longshou County County God!" The old man who heard this name was ecstatic at first, and then suddenly realized that something was not right.
Why does he, the City God, have Longshou County in front of him?
"Lu Weifang is appointed as the City God of Fangnan County." The appearance of the second ghost and god made everyone confirm that this position of City God exists in every county.
"..."
After talking about the status of ghosts and gods in each county at the bottom, we finally came to the edict of ghosts and gods in the Zhouchenghuang Mansion.
"Longhua! Ren Chenghuang's Mansion as a judge!"
"Nangu! Let Chenghuang Mansion issue a military judge!"
"The dog-headed envoy is appointed as the shackles general under the City God's Mansion."
"Niu Envoy! Ren Niu Tou General under the City God's Mansion!"
Finally, we finally came to the position of Huzhou City God, the Lord of countless ghosts and gods in the whole state that everyone paid the most attention to.
"The City God of Huzhou!"
"Liu Yuenlang!"
The last name was decided, and the remaining ones who were not chosen fell directly into the clouds and returned to the human world.
To be continued...
