Under the moonlight, in the Feng family mansion where the clear forest was peaceful and there was even the fragrance of flowers, an old man asked seriously to the young man sitting opposite him.
"Old sir, do you want to ask this yourself? Or are you asking it on behalf of the court or the government?"
Feng Bingwen put down the teacup in his hand, and suddenly there was a cute little flower essence holding the teapot and tilting it. A column of light yellow water fell down, filling the teacup that Feng Bingwen took a sip from.
"This is something I want to know, but equally, the court also wants to know."
The old man, who had a faint scent of sandalwood lingering around his body, replied.
He is the City God of Qingshan County, and he took on a not-so-easy job. It was supposed to be the City God of the state who came to visit, but after layers of pressure, the job fell to him. After all, this visit was not a big deal.
It's a good job, but if you don't do it well, you'll offend a reincarnated sage.
"That's it!"
Feng Bingwen smiled. He had accumulated enough good deeds and prayed to the Book of Heaven. After he could see those guys who were adding karma to him day and night, he naturally acted vigorously and resolutely, killing all those guys in the shortest possible time.
Cleaned up again.
Naturally, he doesn't have the time or patience to argue with those people who have added karma to him. If he finds one, he will strike it down with a thunderbolt.
Those who have done little evil will be given one chop as a warning; those who have done more will be given two more chops. If they go too far and even kill someone, they will be hacked to death directly.
After he finished walking around, it was no wonder that the legend about the God of Punishment appeared in Yunze Prefecture. In fact, such a god who punishes evil and eliminates evil is especially loved by the people.
Seeing as he did this, it can be said that he followed his own desires and crossed the red line set by the government.
The bottom line given to him by the government at the beginning was not to hurt people's lives, but this red line was ignored when Feng Bingwen took charge of Tianlei and killed the villains.
There is no way, when you see some things and you happen to have the power to execute them, it is difficult to endure and follow the rules, go through the procedures and wait.
For example, people who are abducting women and children!
But Feng Bingwen actually crossed more than just this red line. He actually killed quite a few people this time, because he essentially focused on warning, and would only take their lives unless he went too far.
The key is that the method Feng Bingwen chose as punishment was thunder!
Not to mention ordinary people, even monsters and aliens, the orthodox monks of Dao Zong Xuanmen are extremely afraid of sky thunder, and the monks who master the thunder method are basically in the strongest echelon in the same realm.
.
The taboo that Feng Bingwen committed was that he manifested the Holy Spirit many times in a short period of time, so that without anyone deliberately guiding him, legends about the God of Punishment spread in the Yunze Prefecture area.
If it were an ordinary monk who dared to show his holiness so many times so unscrupulously, he would have been captured by the ghosts and gods of the Daqian Dynasty long ago. Even if the local ghosts and gods could not deal with it, the Daqian court would send out warriors who could break the void to change the terrain. Even if
Dao Miao Zhenren also has to stay away.
However, Feng Bingwen's identity was so special that when he appeared as a saint, even if he was noticed by ghosts and gods, he turned a blind eye and pretended not to have seen him.
After receiving the news, the government chose to be blind and allowed the incident to spread without any reaction. It was not until some arrogant aristocratic families in Yunze Prefecture jointly tested the pressure and wrote to the emperor that there was any movement.
However, this movement was not what those people expected. They would assemble a team with powerful monks and warriors as the core to defeat the chaotic gods. Instead, they sent a ghost and god who was very close to them to inquire politely.
"Master Feng, do you want to collect incense? If you want incense, the imperial court can build a statue for you and open a temple. Nowadays, the legend of the God of Punishment is spread in Yunze Prefecture. If you think the name of this god is good, you can..."
"Stop it."
Seeing the city god in front of him who had manifested his former appearance, his words became more and more outrageous. Feng Bingwen quickly stopped him.
"Old sir, you misunderstood. I don't have any special needs for incense at the moment."
It is true that there is no need for incense, but Feng Bingwen is not convinced. Even if he does not follow the Shinto path, he can still collect incense to assist his practice, just like the Dragon Lord of Xuanting Lake.
"Actually, there's nothing to hide, I just want to break up some cause and effect."
"Determining cause and effect?"
The old city god's brows suddenly frowned.
Although he is a city god with vast divine power, and can even fight against Yuan Dan monks within the legal domain, this matter of cause and effect is still too far for him. He has heard of it, but does not understand it at all.
"In these days, the people I struck with my thunder were all causally involved with me not long ago."
"It's the Medicine King God!"
As soon as he said this, the old city god reacted immediately.
"Yes, those people survived because of me, but instead of being grateful and cultivating merit, they bullied me and caused me some inconvenience. Naturally, I have to teach them a lesson and give them a warning."
"I see."
The old city god seemed to understand, but he also pretended to understand at this time and nodded quickly, but in the end, he couldn't help but ask,
"But Mr. Feng, do you really have no intention of collecting incense?"
"No."
Feng Bingwen replied decisively.
"Actually, if you really want to collect it, the government can help you."
The old city emperor thought about it for a while, but still had to bite the bullet and continue to speak. Before he came to this house, he was told a lot of things, and he was even given a lot of room to play. But now that he is asked, those who have prepared
All have become unnecessary.
"Old sir, this isn't the first time we've met each other, so why do we need to be so secretive?"
Feng Bingwen was not slow to respond. The old city god repeatedly changed the topic to incense. How could he not understand?
"Well, since Mr. Feng has said this, I won't hide it anymore."
After all, he was a man of great virtue and virtue during his lifetime. When Feng Bingwen said this, he simply showed off his cards.
"Master, do you know how the imperial court views you?"
"I really don't know that."
Feng Bingwen became interested. He had always thought that the Daqian court would not take him seriously. After all, he had never seen any high-ranking officials come to curry favor with him. He was living a very peaceful life these days.
"Appreciate further details."
"Trouble, trouble, don't mess with it."
The old city god said very directly,
"The most important thing is that the court doesn't know what you want to do."
"Well, I actually don't have as big a background as you think, and I don't have any special ideas. I just want to live a simple life and have a plain and beautiful life."
It's not that Feng Bingwen can't put himself in someone else's shoes and put himself in the court's perspective. His background is really difficult for people to deal with.
First of all, there is no way to use force to solve the problem. Secondly, without knowing his thoughts, I don’t know how to make arrangements. Flatter? Respect? Or unite?
"Master Feng."
After listening carefully to what Feng Bingwen said, the old city god sighed,
"I believe everything you said, but do you think the imperial court will believe it? Will His Majesty believe it?"
"Probably not!"
Feng Bingwen thought for a while.
"A reincarnated sage who has no desires and only wants to experience ordinary life."
The old city god made a conclusion and then shook his head. Not to mention His Majesty, who was very thoughtful at that time and no one could guess what he was thinking. Even he thought it was nonsense.
"That's not good."
Feng Bingwen couldn't help laughing. He would no longer argue with others and deny his identity as a reincarnated sage, because it was useless. These guys didn't care what he was talking about. They only believed in themselves.
have witnessed.
"I'll tell you the truth. Maybe you think it's a good thing to have no desires. But for the court and His Majesty, they will feel at ease only if you have desires."
"So, the old gentleman thinks that I should accept the canonization from the imperial court, walk to the altar, and be worshiped by all people?"
"Of course not."
The old city god shook his head quickly,
"I just think there is no need to refuse, Sir. You don't follow the Shinto way, but you can use incense to shape a Shinto body and use it for fighting. There are many advantages, and it can also make the court feel at ease."
"It sounds very good, but I don't know how to use Shinto. Even if I was given this incense, I wouldn't know how to use it."
Feng Bingwen spread his hands. If he still can't understand the meaning of this old city god's visit, then he is too stupid.
It was not that the Daqian court came to question him because of his frequent manifestations in the past few days, but that they wanted to take this opportunity to establish a deeper relationship with him.
"As long as you are willing, the imperial court will naturally send you the appropriate Shinto method."
The old city god said quickly.
"Isn't this great?"
An elusive smile appeared on Feng Bingwen's face.
"I just want to have peace of mind."
The old city god also looked a little helpless.
This reincarnated sage acted too simply and roughly, and killed evildoers on the spot. Although he only killed a few people, he also scared many people.
Now we are just killing the evil ones in the world, but what will happen when this reincarnated sage gradually recovers his cultivation and regains the power he had a long time ago?
Among the dignitaries of the day, there were some people who were displeased by this sage. Will they also be turned into ashes by a thunder falling from the sky?
Going one step further, what if the behavior of the current emperor does not meet the requirements of a sage? What should this reincarnated sage do? Abolish the emperor and replace him with another?
Although it is an unfounded and worrying idea, there is no denying the possibility of it becoming a reality.
Such a sage who has the power of life and death is really frightening.
"Old sir, don't overestimate me. To be honest, I'm a little moved, but let me think about it for a while and I'll give you an answer after a while."
Feng Bingwen stood up and made a gesture of seeing off guests.
