Chapter 20 Shinto Incense
In this world, the cultivation level of the Earth Realm is a master in the cultivation world, and it is rare to see it. And the great masters of the Void Refining in the Heaven Realm are even more rare.
As long as Feng Yuan is careful, he can be able to roam the entire beam with his own strength.
It took Feng Yuan less than three months to turn from an ordinary person to a strong earth realm.
It has to be said that the Xuanyin Soul-Selection Method accounts for a large reason.
Now in order to continue to improve its strength, Feng Yuan also needs to shift his attention from Jiulong Mountain and put it in various prefectures south of the river.
The closest ones are Lishui Prefecture, Linchuan Prefecture and Jinhua Prefecture.
The wars and wars caused hundreds of thousands of people in the four palaces. These people died miserably and lived for no reason and were killed by the riots.
The more miserable the death, the more likely it is to become a demon.
At this time, a large number of evil ghosts appeared in the wilderness forests outside the Four Palaces. Even in broad daylight, people heard the sound of evil ghosts.
...
Lishui Mansion, Chenjia Village.
Chenjia Village is not far from the city of Lishui Mansion. The originally stable village was robbed by officers and soldiers a month ago, and many people died.
At this time, the village was still in a mess, and many villagers' families were killed by chaos, which was very miserable.
As the sky was about to darken, several dark shadows appeared outside the village.
Some villagers immediately exclaimed when they saw the situation outside, which caused commotion and panic in the entire village.
"Don't panic, what are you afraid of? There is a statue of the City God, these little ghosts can't get in!"
The village chief of Chenjia Village walked out. He was old and had a white cloth wrapped around his forehead, and blood was faintly oozing from the white cloth.
When the rioters were robbing a month ago, he was chopped by an officer and soldier, and he was lucky enough to die.
The old village chief is the decisive needle for the entire village. As soon as he comes out, all the villagers seem to have a backbone.
"The village chief said it well. With the blessing of Grandpa Chenghuang, these little ghosts cannot harm anyone!"
"Everyone should do whatever they should do, and it looks like a mess!"
Several young and strong people from Chenjia Village came out and dispersed the panicked crowd.
"Big pillars, two pillars! Be careful tonight!"
After the crowd dispersed, the old village chief's face slightly darkened and he instructed two of the two most powerful young men.
"The incense of Grandpa City God must not be cut off! If it is cut off, our entire village will definitely be targeted by the lonely ghosts outside! It will be troublesome at that time!"
The young man known as the Great Pillar nodded.
"Village Chief, I heard from outside that Grandpa City God mainly protects the city city. It is difficult for him to protect the villages outside the city, so he can only invite the divine incense from the City God Temple to use the divine incense to resist the wild ghosts..."
"But one divine incense costs one tael of silver! Village chief, if this continues, all the money in our entire village will be used to buy incense, and it won't last long!"
The young man called the second pillar next to him couldn't help but say.
He often drove carriages back and forth in Fucheng and Chenjia Village, and he was well-informed and had heard of many things.
For example, the divine power of the City God can only cover the city.
There are very few ghosts in the mansion city. Even if there are, they will be captured by the City God in no time.
The many villages outside the city are distributed in different ways, and the City God's divine power cannot be extended at all. If the village wants to block the lonely ghosts, it can only use the divine fragrance of the City God Temple.
A stick of incense, a tael of silver! You can only protect the village for one night.
Of course, it is not that the City God and the Temple Zhu are greedy for money, but that the divine incense is difficult to make, and it also contains a little divine power of the City God, so it is sold at such a price.
It would be fine if the villages and towns with wealthy businessmen existed, even if they could only consume more than 300 taels of silver a year.
But for Chenjia Village, which had just been robbed by chaos, consuming one or two taels of silver every day was like dying from the villagers in the village.
It won't take long before the villagers' little money left will be consumed.
"I have to hold on for long! Don't I know what you said?"
The old village chief was a little exhausted.
"If there was no sacred fragrance, those lonely ghosts would want to eat the people in our entire village. Qiaotou Village, ten miles away, was broken into the village by dozens of evil ghosts, killing most of the villagers!"
He sighed deeply, and his wrinkled face became more and more bitter.
This is the world, and it is hard for anyone to live!
Lishui Mansion is a little better, at least it has not experienced a large-scale military disaster.
I heard that in the north, the officers and soldiers and rebels fought hundreds of thousands of people, and countless evil spirits were raised.
After the war, the generals of the government army invited many masters and monks, and the water and land temples that had been in the water and land temple for more than ten days did not completely resolve the evil spirits.
Now Tianning Mansion is full of evil ghosts.
Compared with Tianning Mansion, the people of their Lishui Mansion can barely survive their lives.
"Second brother, everyone knows what you said. If there is any other way, just say it outright and don't keep it in your mouth!"
Dazhu spoke.
He knew the character of his brother, and when he saw his expression, he knew that there must be something wrong with the other person's heart.
"Village Chief, Brother!"
"I heard from others that there has been a god circulating outside recently. As long as you invite the statue of this god, you can protect the safety of a village!"
"If a wild ghost breaks in, as long as you offer incense sacrifices, there will be ghost soldiers who will capture the wild ghost..."
When the old village chief heard this, he frowned.
"Erzhu, where did you hear the news? What incense offerings are you going to offer?"
Erzhu hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, the village chief is not a wild god's lewd sacrifice that is disguised by monsters and monsters. It's just a stick of sandalwood and some fruits and rice!"
In this world, monks and ghosts are not too mysterious.
When Daliang was just established, he put a lot of effort into promoting the situation in order to deal with the monsters and monsters that were rampant in troubled times.
As long as you are a village chief and a squire, you basically know that you want to sacrifice the little gods with blood food such as boys and girls.
Most of these wild gods' desolate sacrifices are disguised by demons and monsters.
The gods who need normal incense and fruit sacrifices are often some righteous gods.
For the villagers at the bottom, they rarely read and do not know which gods are among the regular sacrifices of the imperial court. They can only judge through this simple method.
"The King of Ghosts? Why haven't I heard of the name of this god before?"
The old village chief kept thinking while holding his beard.
After a while, he said, "Since this god does not need blood and food sacrifices, he is also a righteous god. In this way, until tomorrow, Erzhu, you go and invite the statue of this god, and Dazhu, you go and take someone to build a small temple..."
"Wait until tomorrow night, let's try whether this god is effective or not!"
"If it works, the whole village will worship this god in the future. If it doesn't work, please let it go!"
The big pillar and the two pillars should be.
