Chapter 257: The City God of Wanchi
While thinking, several gazes fell on Taipan. When Taipan followed his gaze, the gaze quietly disappeared.
"A county's city god is absolutely no less powerful than a divine realm major cultivator. He can quietly seal it up, so that he can't even send a message. The water in the county of Shichi is really deep and unsatisfied." Taipan pondered, and then his eyes opened from the City God Temple and sat down at a tea stall next to him.
The tea stall is next to the Chenghuang Temple. People come and go in and out of the tea stall. People who come and go in and out of the Chenghuang Temple pray to worship the city god are all visible. Because of Tai Pan's clothes, the tea lovers at the tea stalls also lowered their voices, for fear that they would disturb Tai Pan - in this empire, the status of scholars, warriors, soldiers, and Taoist disciples of the hundred families is naturally higher than that of ordinary people.
"What do you want to drink?" After more than ten breaths, the waiter at the tea stall stood in front of Taipan, holding a pot in one hand and a pottery cup in the other.
"There is a good incense in this City God Temple." Taipan signaled the waiter to add a pot of tea to himself, then discharged ten Wuzhu coins and approached the waiter. "The Chenghuang Temple among other prefectures has never seen such a strong incense."
The Chenghuang Temple is surrounded by gathering places everywhere. Taipan came from the border to Chang'an. There were no 100 prefectures or counties that he had experienced. Among these prefectures and counties, the Chenghuang Temple was also so lively, but while it was lively, there were never such people in the county where the Chenghuang Temple were like this. In the past ten thousand people near the Chenghuang Temple would go to the Chenghuang Temple, insert a stick of incense and worship.
People near the City God Temple in other counties are for opportunities, but people around the City God Temple in Machi County are all coming to worship this City God.
"The City God is very effective in protecting the country and protecting the people, so there will naturally be more incense." The waiter said with a smile on his face.
"Experience? They are all piles of clay puppets. How do you know that they are effective?" Taipan's fingers buckled the pottery cup in front of him, making a dull sound.
"Sir, you can't say this randomly!" The waiter's face became solemn, and then he looked around nervously.
"What, can't this City God really show up?" Tai Pan's eyes showed surprise, and a curious look appeared on his face.
The law does not appear before people. This is not only a restriction on practitioners, but also a restriction on gods. One of the biggest signs of distinguishing between righteous gods and evil gods is that righteous gods will never appear before people.
This is because the righteous gods are enthroned by the court on earth and supported by the heavenly court. They either represent the order of heaven and earth or the laws of the empire. Their existence is extremely stable, and they naturally disdain to collect the soul power of mortals in the form of faith.
The evil god is different. The evil god sword is in a different way. Its essence is very susceptible to the erosion of the laws and orders of heaven and earth. In this erosion, one loses oneself. In order to avoid this, the evil gods are happy to show their saints in front of others, collect the faith of the believers, use this faith to stabilize themselves, serve as a support for their own existence, and anchor themselves, so that they will not be lost in the laws and regulations of heaven and earth. At the same time, the free power of the three souls and seven spirits attached to this faith can also be transformed into the resources for the evil god to advance.
But the problem is that faith itself is also an erosion for the gods. Once you accept too much faith, even if the evil god has never been lost in the laws of heaven and earth, he will also be lost in this faith, controlled by faith, and become a tool puppet.
"That's natural." The waiter said proudly, "A few days ago, there was a ghost in the Wangzhuang outside the city. Wang Fu's family of seven were all absorbed by the ghost spirit. If it weren't for the Wang family's mother who came to the City God Temple to burn incense, the temple was noticed abnormally and then invited the City God statue to go home, Wang Fu's family of seven were probably going to be absorbed by the Yang energy and died."
"When the temple Zhu said that it was caused by ghosts, it was really caused by ghosts?"
"Can you still see the true or false clearly with your naked eyes?"
"It's not that temple blessing yet. You can say whatever you want." Taipan sneered and drank the tea in the cup in one go.
"Don't talk nonsense, this Dao Master."
"When Grandpa Chenghuang showed his saints that day, he was watching everyone. How could he do fake things?"
"If you don't believe it, go to the City God Temple and sing a stick of incense in front of the City God Grandpa, and see if there will be a City God Grandpa sing a dream at night!" Seeing that Taipan was still questioning, the waiter's company also showed a look of shame and annoyance, and said in dissatisfaction.
"Wait, you say, this City God has not only shown his holy presence in front of others, but also given you a dream?" Tai Pan's expression of disbelief became more and more obvious without any concealment.
"You guy..." The waiter became more and more angry, feeling that he had been humiliated, "Why don't you believe it?"
"The fourth son of the Zhang family, the second son of the Xu family... You guys, have you been entrusted by Grandpa Chenghuang?" The waiter shouted on the spot. At the same time, he ordered a few people who had been entrusted by Grandpa Chenghuang to come out at the tea stall to prove that what he said was true.
"Yes, we have indeed been dreamed of Grandpa Chenghuang. In the dream, I also saw the dead mother."
...
The middle-aged people next to them also nodded and said loudly, as if this was the supreme glory. I don’t know who the people who made the sound were the fourth brother of the Zhang family and who were the second brother of the Xu family…
"Sorry, sorry." Seeing that it aroused the anger of the public, Tai Pan also stood up and clasped his fists to beg the people, "It's not that Xiaodao doesn't believe it, but that this city god is saint, which is really incredible."
"The Han Empire has 13 prefectures and more than a thousand county seats. It is really unheard of that the city god shows his saints."
"However, since everyone is speaking with a firm word, Xiaodao can't help but refuse to believe it."
"After a moment, Xiaodao sat down and put in an incense stick on the City God, and asked the City God to forgive me for my crime of showing off my verbal confusion." ·
The tea shoppers at the tea stall let go of Tai Pan and gave him a little quietness. However, at this time, the waiter's attitude towards Tai Pan was completely different from before.
"The City God shows his saint, there is indeed something wrong with the Imperial Heavenly Prison in Miaochi County!" After leaving this tea stall, Tai Pan lowered his face and sneered in his heart.
One of the responsibilities of the Imperial Heaven Supervision is to cooperate with the righteous gods and kill those evil gods who dare to show saints in front of others. However, now, the city gods of the county in Fengchi County and the act of showing saints in front of others are well known. The practitioners stationed in Fengchi County in the Imperial Heaven Supervision turned a blind eye and ignored them.
——Even if this person who shows his saints is a county city god and an imperial heaven prison cannot handle it, the person who is an imperial heaven prison should report the news step by step. At that time, there will naturally be a county city god or other gods coming to deal with it.
