Chapter 541: Fighting everywhere is really useless
Shezhou is mountainous.
In mountainous areas, customs vary every ten miles and customs vary every five miles.
The language and customs are different, as are the gods and taboos.
In the vast and flat Xuanzhou County and Wu County, which was governed by the King of Wu himself, it was inevitable that the imperial power would reach the countryside. When it came to Shezhou, the situation was completely different.
Because of the distance between us and the different customs, we must use different means to deal with them.
Those who make a living from mountains and rivers have faith in every mountain and offer sacrifices to every stream.
When various ghosts and gods appear in this belief and worship, they are all the same as the Five Gods, and are called lewd worship. Lewd worship is different from lewd worship, and it all depends on what the ghosts and gods want.
The Five-Directions Deity's demand for incense, the need to pay yin debts, and the ability to steal lives is a long-term captive behavior. Short-term harm may not be apparent, and some may even offer benevolent protection from evil spirits. However, over a longer period, the enslavement of humanity through Shintoism is undoubtedly an act of usurping the authority of heaven and earth, with endless consequences.
Other ghosts and gods may also crave incense, or may be more primitive and bloody, craving blood sacrifices. There may also be some ghosts and gods who have attained enlightenment and although they do not have the name of a righteous god, they act like a righteous god.
It's just that doing evil is easy, but doing good is difficult. To do evil, one only needs force to gain dominance over all living beings, while doing good requires much wisdom and thought. In today's world, purely good people can no longer survive, and the same is true among ghosts and gods.
After Dijia took Changshen on a tour of Shezhou, he realized that the effort required to occupy Shezhou would be far greater than that required in Xuanzhou.
The closer it is to the mountains and the more primitive it is, even the City God cannot control it, let alone the Five Demons.
Dijia immediately abandoned those who made a living in the deep mountains and forests. There were not so many rampant gods to guard them, and the population would not grow much, so it was not worth it.
The remaining places that are not so isolated from the world are the choice of Dijia.
Once the territory was secured, it was time to start working. Once they started working, troubles arose one after another.
The Water Tribe's God was stationed outside Shezhou City and was often summoned to fight everywhere.
Fortunately, some of the demons in the mountains and rivers can be recruited to make up for the losses. Otherwise, if the fighting continues, it is unknown when the investment can be recovered.
The Great Immortal Jin Ting does not participate in these things. He looks down on them and does not care. Everything is managed by the General of the Water Department and the Earth Guard.
The Great Immortal Jin Ting was waiting, waiting for the situation that required him to take action.
This opportunity came not slowly. When foreign ghosts and gods invaded the local forces, a group of evil people immediately took the lead in taking action.
This group of evildoers waved the Beast King Banner and attacked the Changshen's base in Yi County with all kinds of evil beast spirits. The tiger and leopard gods, jackals and wolves tore the Changshen of Yi County and the witches in the temple to pieces. The Wutong Temple was also destroyed and turned into ruins.
By the time the water general received the news and led his army, it was already too late.
But this time the troops were very large, and they immediately searched the sky and the earth to investigate the whereabouts of this evil group.
It was not difficult to investigate. This group of evil people called themselves the Beast God Sect. They set up a Beast King Temple in the mountains, enshrining more than ten kinds of ferocious beasts, calling them Beast Gods. Their disciples served as temple priests, bullying the locals, amassing wealth and incense, and practicing Taoist magic.
The Beast King Temple was extremely popular. Those who made their living in the mountains and rivers were most afraid of wild beasts in the forests. Worshiping the Beast King could prevent them from being killed by wild beasts. If they did not worship the Beast King, they would often lose their lives in the forest.
This group of people were of the same mind as Wutong God. They came from outside to steal business, so how could they be tolerated? They gathered their followers and destroyed Wutong Temple immediately.
The Water General immediately led the ghosts and gods to retaliate, and a fierce battle ensued.
The Water General led so many rampant gods that the Beast King Temple was naturally outnumbered and was destroyed by the rampant gods. The Water General pursued the Beast King Temple's shamans all the way into the mountains, but finally suffered a setback.
A large beast god formation was set up in Paishan, and countless beast spirits fought in it, living and dying at will, killing hundreds of rampant gods. The water general was unable to defeat them, so he broke out of the formation with a water wheel, led the crowd to besiege Paishan, and waited for the great immortal Jin Ting to come to the rescue.
The leader of the Beast God Sect, relying on the power of the formation, questioned, "Whose ghosts and gods are you? You don't know the rules, you steal incense offerings, and you even dare to come to our door. Don't you know how to spell death?"
The Water General said, "We are the demons and gods under the command of the Five-Directions God. We originally only built a temple to worship the gods, but you are so ignorant that you dared to destroy the temple and kill people. Now that my army is here, why don't you surrender and apologize?"
The leader of the Beast God Sect was furious and said, "You are just ghosts and gods, let me see how capable you are!"
As he spoke, black air filled the entire forest, covering the entire mountain.
The general of the Water Department sneered and said, "If you continue to resist stubbornly, I wonder how long you can stay in the mountains and not come out."
The leader of the Beast God Sect no longer paid any attention to him, but the spirits of ferocious beasts continued to roam in the formation, ready to fight to the death at any time.
The Water Department General waited quietly, and soon, the Immortal Jin Ting arrived.
The Water Department General reported the matter of the Beast God Sect. The Immortal Jin Ting looked at the forest where the wind was blowing and said, "You guys attack the mountain in the front to attract their attention. I will take care of the rest."
The general of the water department immediately prepared to attack the mountain. A group of fierce gods used the Five Supernatural Powers to condense into a water wheel, which rotated in the air. Then there was a heavy rain, which caused a flood in the mountain and continued to surge into the mountain.
The Beast God Sect naturally could not sit idly by, so they released several water monsters and beasts to continuously resolve the impact of the mountain torrent.
The Great Immortal Jin Ting had already taken advantage of the chaos to sneak into the Beast God Formation.
The Beast God Formation was not really that sophisticated. It simply opened up the underground Yin cave and drew the underground Xuanyin Qi upwards to sacrifice to the Beast God.
When the Great Immortal Jin Ting entered the Beast God Array, he saw that the Beast Gods in the array encompassed the birds in the sky, the beasts on the ground, and the fish in the water. These gods had been worshipped for a long time and already possessed magical powers. With the help of the Xuanyin Qi, they became even more ferocious and violent.
The Beast God is also a ghost god. Originally, it was the spirit of a ferocious beast or a monster. After being killed by the disciples of the Beast God Sect, it was sacrificed and refined with secret methods. With the help of incense, it became a ghost god. It got rid of the defects of the Yin Ghost and has a higher upper limit. It is very similar to the rampant god.
The leader of the Beast God Sect led his disciples to be on high alert, guarding against the water general's forced attack on the mountain.
A Beast King Pagoda stands in the mountain. The pagoda is shining and contains statues of various Beast Kings.
As long as the pagoda is not breached, those beast gods will not die. They can gather the mysterious Yin energy and condense their bodies again, making them very difficult to deal with.
There was some aura in the pagoda that was familiar to the Great Immortal Jin Ting. After a quick identification, he found that these were the gods who died in Paishan. Their souls were imprisoned in the pagoda. The disciples of the Beast God Sect tried to sacrifice their souls and refine them into their own beast gods, but they could never succeed.
Jin Ting Daxian looked at it for a while, then felt a little disappointed and thought to himself, "It's really useless. There's no need to bother letting it go."
The leader of the Beast God Sect also sighed and waved his hand. The soul of the rampant god in the pagoda was sucked away completely by the Beast God statue, barely serving as a source of nourishment.
The Great Immortal Jin Ting naturally knew the reason why he could not succeed. These rampant gods were all subordinates of Wutong and had already been branded with the mark of Wutong. Unless his ability surpassed that of Wutong God, or his Taoist magic power was extremely exquisite, he could use his own magic power to forcibly erase the mark of Wutong God, or skillfully break the magic power of Wutong God.
But obviously he couldn't do it.
