Wang Mingzhen looked intently and saw the one-horned ghost desperately retracting its claws, but failed in every possible way. This fierce struggle caused constant turmoil in the Fengdu Ghost Domain.
He was about to continue observing when he suddenly saw two terrifying ghost claws explode. The terrifying power swept across, and the entire passage node was blown open by nearly a hundred feet.
When Wang Mingzhen saw this, his pupils shrank slightly and he screamed secretly. Such a large passage was enough for the one-horned ghost king to forcefully descend into the world.
For that one-horned ghost, although self-explosion of its claws will greatly damage its strength, as long as it can come to the world and swallow enough blood and food, it will soon be restored to its original state, or even one step closer.
Therefore, the one-horned ghost cannot tolerate being restrained by the passage, and even if it self-destructs its claws, it will forcefully descend.
Wang Mingzhen could sense that the one-horned ghost king's aura had reached the mid-four-star stage, and he was definitely a strong man in the ghost fairyland.
If the one-horned ghost comes, with his current strength, he can barely protect himself. At that time, Shu will definitely suffer an unprecedented disaster.
Wang Mingzhen's whole body bloomed with divine light, fully mobilizing the divine power in his body, communicating with the power of the earth's veins, condensing a layer of restrictions, and sealing the passage nodes.
But this seal was ultimately not as powerful as the space barrier between the two worlds. He was not sure how long it could block the one-horned ghost.
At this time, the one-horned ghost looked at Wang Mingzhen through the seal. Those ghost eyes were so cold that one look at each other made people feel chilled all over.
Wang Mingzhen saw a look of indifference, killing, and contempt in his eyes, as if he were looking at ants.
The look in the eyes of the one-horned ghost did not cause any fluctuation in Wang Mingzhen's heart. If his cultivation had not recovered, a ghost of this level would have been crushed to death by him with just one finger.
He simply ignored the one-horned ghost and just continued to impose restrictions and increase the strength of the seal.
The one-horned ghost was ignored, and he immediately aroused endless anger. He raised a netherworld iron rod and hit the seal, making a loud noise.
Boom! The loud sound and the power of a stick shattered twenty-seven of the three hundred and fifty-eight layers of restrictions imposed by Wang Mingzhen.
This kind of power, as long as it is hit ten or twenty times in succession, can completely break the restriction, cross the two-world passage, and descend from the Fengdu Ghost Domain to the human world.
Boom boom boom! The one-horned ghost swung the iron rod again, hitting it nine times with one stick, and another one hundred and twenty heavy restrictions were broken.
Wang Mingzhen's divine power surged wildly, and he mobilized the power of the earth veins with all his strength, but he could only hit the ninety-sixth level of restraint, which was obviously not enough.
He frowned slightly and saw the mocking look in the eyes of the one-horned ghost.
Immediately afterwards, at the other end of the passage, ghosts were seen rising from the ground and slamming into the restriction. Then, they were backfired by the restriction, the ghost body was broken, and pure Yin Qi overflowed.
The collision of a ghost cannot prevent the destruction. However, hundreds of ghosts hit one after another, and the restriction cannot be sustained. The layers of restrictions are broken one after another.
Instead, the one-horned ghost stopped and continued to swallow the pure Yin Qi that escaped from the death of those ghosts.
Wang Mingzhen could see that the aura of the one-horned ghost was getting stronger and stronger. This was through devouring the pure yin energy after the ghost's death to restore its injuries.
When he fully recovers from his injuries, it will be the time when he breaks the seal, crosses the ghost realm of Fengdu from the nether world, and descends into the human world.
"At this speed, the ghost will arrive in seven days at most!"
Wang Mingzhen observed the details carefully, used Xiaotian Jishu, and quickly deduced that the one-horned ghost could completely recover from its injuries within seven days.
"Print it!"
Wang Mingzhen reached out and made a move, and a large seal flew from the Wang Family Courtyard. This was a semi-finished magic weapon that he had spent a year cultivating by absorbing the origins of the mountains and earth.
Although this seal is only a semi-finished product, it contains a large amount of the origin of mountains and rivers, and has been tempered by divine power. It has the power of heaven and earth and can suppress evil. Its power is not inferior to ordinary four-star spiritual treasures.
As the Great Seal descended, numerous restrictions were suppressed. Those restrictions that had been smashed by ghosts were immediately stabilized. No matter how many ghosts hit them, they could not shake the restrictions.
The one-horned ghost seemed to sense something. After opening his eyes and looking in the direction of the passage, a sarcastic look flashed in his eyes.
Although the addition of the big seal can strengthen the seal, it cannot stop his attack at all. At most, it can only delay it for some time.
Wang Mingzhen also knew this, but he had other plans. He directly borrowed the faith and will of hundreds of thousands of people in Fengdu County, combined with the sacred texts of the Great Dao, to derive the throne of the City God.
The City God is the patron saint of the city. He is closely related to the residents of the city. He is in charge of yin and yang matters, and also rewards good and punishes evil.
Once the city god's throne was completed, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared, and the divine realm descended. With Fengdu County as the center, it instantly swept across a radius of 120 miles.
In an instant, Wang Mingzhen felt that the world was centered on him, and all authority and power belonged to him. There was a feeling of infinite power lingering in his heart.
At this moment, he felt that the entire Fengdu County was his body. The mountains, rocks, grass and trees, the earth, the rivers, and even the city walls were all part of his body.
"I am the city god and I am in charge of a county!"
Wang Mingzhen suddenly realized that after occupying the position of City God, he would become the supreme god of Fengdu County.
However, Wang Mingzhen did not condense the Fengdu County City God's status, but the super-grade City God Emperor's status.
His ability to condense the super-grade divine position is due to many factors. First of all, after merging the Dao Divine Text with the first-grade Tianlu, he has the foundation to evolve the super-grade priesthood.
Secondly, this is the first time that the City God God has appeared. As the first City God in heaven and earth and the founder of the City God system, he deserves the title of City God Emperor.
Finally, his true spiritual nature is extremely high, and he can withstand the status of City God, without having to worry about the fate of "mismatched virtues, and you will suffer disaster", or the backlash of Qi.
It's a pity that he, the City God, only controls one county. A wider area still needs to be developed slowly by him.
After the City God system is completely perfected, he, the City God Emperor, will be the true uncrowned king of the human world.
After all, compared to those lofty immortal gods, the City God, as the patron saint of the city, is undoubtedly more close to the people, and is closely related to the life and death of the people. It is not easy to collect faith.
Divine power surged out, and countless rocks gathered outside Fengdu County. Under Wang Mingzhen's control, these hard rocks seemed to have turned into sand, and they could be rubbed at will.
A simple and majestic Temple of the City God was formed, located directly on the node of the passage between the two realms, suppressing the entire Fengdu Ghost Domain.
The temple was completed, and the world was in turmoil. This turmoil was centered in Fengdu County, sweeping in all directions and covering an entire county.
In the minds of the hundreds of thousands of people living in Fengdu County, the shadow of a temple appears faintly, with the inscription "Temple of the City God Emperor" written on the temple.
The moment they saw the temple, everyone subconsciously knew the responsibilities of the City God. They knew that this was the city's guardian god, responsible for yin and yang.
"The City God, the Emperor, is in charge of Yin and Yang, catches ghosts and subdues demons, and protects the peace of the whole country! I have to pay my respects and let the Emperor protect the safety of my family."
"I am also ready to pay my respects. This City God is in charge of life and death of Yin and Yang!"
The hundreds of thousands of people in Fengdu County immediately started talking. For them, the gods and Buddhas in the sky were too far away, and the City God was closer to them.
With the thoughts of these living people, an invisible force of faith and will converged towards the City God's Temple, making the entire City God's Temple even more magical.
At this time, the Temple of the City God looked like it was made of ordinary rocks, but in fact it contained the weight of a city.
Coupled with the fact that Wang Mingzhen, the City God, is in charge, the seal of the passage node is impregnable.
The one-horned ghost sensed that something was wrong, and kept hitting the City God's Temple with an iron rod, but without any effect. Instead, it was backfired by the temple, causing more injuries, and had to temporarily stop its activities!
Knowing that at this time, Wang Mingzhen had time to decorate the City God's Temple. He stretched out his hand and a large amount of earth energy gathered to form a black and yellow statue of the City God.
The appearance of the statue of the City God is the same as that of Wang Mingzhen. It wears a purple gold crown of all spirits, Wuji black and yellow armor, Bahuang Zhenyue shoes, and stands on the Eight Treasures Golden Lotus.
The left hand holds the seal, the right hand holds the sword, the purple gourd hangs on the waist, and the sun and moon flag is carried on the back, which is sacred and majestic.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Mingzhen differentiated a little spiritual light, fell into the eyebrows of the statue of the City God, and consecrated the statue.
The eyes of the City God statue suddenly became lively, and its whole body exuded vast power, as if it were a living god.
This is the mystery of Shinto. The statue of the god is baptized by the faith of all people, nourished by the thoughts of heaven and earth, nourished by the divine power of incense, and produces miraculous changes.
With Wang Mingzhen's thoughts, he can use it as a clone of his god to manifest miracles. If it lasts forever and the statue of the god is enshrined for thousands of years, it will become an excellent carrier for refining the clone. Using it to fight, he can exert earth-shattering power.
Wang Mingzhen perfected the layout of the City God's Temple in one thought, and then stepped into the City God's legal domain to sort out this harvest.
The disciples of the Zhengyi Sect who had escaped death looked at the Temple of the City God in front of them, with a look of surprise in their eyes.
The Zhengyi sect has a long heritage, and Zhang Daoling, the Celestial Master, as the founder, knows many secrets of the three realms.
They know very well how rare it is to attain the status of a Shinto emperor. It is a super-grade divine status, the most noble and noble one!
These statuses all have great cause and effect. If ordinary gods dare to call themselves emperors without authorization, they will inevitably be entangled in cause and effect. The punishment from heaven will come, and both their gods and their forms will be destroyed!
As for this unknown City God emperor, there were no signs of any abnormality after the temple was established. He was obviously a status recognized by Heaven.
The more they learned about it, the more these disciples of the Zhengyi Sect became more in awe of the City God, and spontaneously went to the temple to worship him.
When the people of Fengdu County saw those "immortals" going to the City God's Temple to worship, they did not dare to neglect them and quickly took incense and candles and went to burn incense.
Everyone walked out of Fengdu County and looked intently. There was a ritual gate outside the Chenghuang Temple. There were two couplets in front of the ritual gate.
The first couplet of a couplet is: In this world, it is you who accumulate good and do evil; the second couplet is: In the underworld, no one has been spared in the past and present.
The first couplet of another couplet is: You are a treacherous person, and it is useless for you to burn incense; the second couplet is: You are an upright man, so why not worship me when you see him!
These words seem to turn into loud and bright sounds that echo in my mind, as if they are cleansing the soul and shocking the living beings. This feeling is so mysterious and mysterious that it is difficult to describe.
A quarter of an hour later, Old Taoist Qingyang came back to his senses, and a light flashed in his eyes. After the baptism of these words, his realm has improved slightly.
Behind the couplet, there is a large abacus hanging, with four words "It is not up to humans to calculate" engraved on the abacus.
Next to the abacus were two huge pieces of money. What was written on the huge amount of money was: Those who do good will prosper, and those who do evil will perish.
"As expected of a Shinto emperor, this pattern is extraordinary!"
Qingyang Lao Taoist couldn't help but sigh slightly when he saw the words on the abacus and the huge sum. Then, he raised his head and looked ahead, and the gate of the Chenghuang Emperor Temple came into view.
On the main entrance of the main hall hangs a plaque with the name "Temple of the City God Emperor" and the couplet "Be a good person, keep your mind upright, your soul peaceful, your dreams stable, do some good deeds, and God knows how to recognize ghosts and gods."
On both sides of the main hall, there are also two pairs of columns, with a couplet hanging on each.
The first pair of pillars hangs a couplet "The powerful spirit protects the country and supports the country, the holy way is wise and sends nectar to save the people" to praise the achievements of the City God, and a plaque "Shepherding the people" hangs on it.
Hanging on the second pair of pillars are the couplets "If you are unkind and start a family, your offspring will inevitably be wasted; if you commit adultery and sin, how can you keep your wife and daughter pure?" to warn the world.
Through the main door of the main hall, you can vaguely see a statue of an emperor enshrined in the main hall. This statue looks very familiar, but Qingyang, the old Taoist, thought hard and couldn't think of where he had seen it before!
In the entire City God's Hall, there is only the statue of the City God and no other subordinate gods, so it looks very empty.
This situation is very normal. Wang Mingzhen has just established his foundation in this world and is just a mere commander. Naturally, these subordinate gods have not yet been put in place.
Next, Qingyang Taoist took the initiative to stand up and preside over the sacrificial ceremony at the Chenghuang Emperor Temple and read the sacrificial inscriptions.
The words of the memorial are like the bells of the Yellow Bell, resounding throughout the city, and also echoing in the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people in Fengdu County.
After the sacrifice was completed, the heaven and earth had their own reactions, and Wang Mingzhen's consciousness descended from the City God's domain and merged into the statue.
The statues of gods appear, creating visions of heaven and earth. In an instant, purple energy comes from the east, fairy flutes play music, golden dragons play with phoenixes, goddesses scatter flowers, and gods worship, it can be said that there are many visions!
Before this vision disappeared, black and yellow merit fell from the sky and fell into the domain of the City God.
This scene directly alarmed those powerful people who could not escape from the world. They opened their eyes one after another from their meditation and looked in the direction of Fengdu County.
"This is the merit of heaven and earth. Since the heaven and earth were first established and the gods were enshrined, no merit of heaven and earth has come to the world. I didn't expect to see such a situation again today."
"Looking at this situation, I am afraid that I have done something that contributes to the world. Why haven't I heard about it?"
"I don't know who this City God is, but he did such a big thing quietly! It's a pity that he didn't know about it in advance, otherwise it would be great to have a hand in it."
When the powerful men sighed or regretted, merits fell from the sky, integrated into Wang Mingzhen's body, and were absorbed by the door of faith.
Suddenly, part of the seal of Heavenly Dao was dissolved, and more divine power poured out from the divine inscriptions of the Great Dao. The vastness of this divine power had already reached the initial stage of four-stars, barely joining the ranks of immortals and gods.
There are also powerful people who are very curious about the merits that fell into Wang Mingzhen's hands and want to calculate his whereabouts. However, the gate of faith suppresses luck and obscures the secrets of heaven, making all these powerful people's calculations come to nothing.
Under such circumstances, those powerful people did not dare to offend Wang Mingzhen easily, which laid the foundation for his subsequent development.
