Chapter 562: Passing Jiyang to Wuning
Then he wanted to clean up other evil spirits and monsters, but found that Shanyin County was clean and there was nothing there.
I went to the City God Temple to ask the little ghost and found out that all the evil ghosts and monsters in Shanyin County had been eliminated long ago.
The Lanzhu Taoist Temple has made great contributions. Whenever something happens, they will really go all out. Therefore, there may be some monsters lurking in the human world, and some ghosts hiding in the mountains, but they are all harmless and will not come out to cause trouble, let alone compete with Wutong for incense.
It is easier to occupy Shanyin than Yuzhang. Although there are no masters in Yuzhang, there are always some demons and evil gods causing trouble and competing for incense and offerings. But in Shanyin, there is only one Taoist temple, which is clean and nothing else.
It is the Lanzhu Taoist Temple, also named after the Taoist Temple. Although it enshrines the Great Immortal Beilai, visitors are welcome to come or not, and the temple will not force people to burn incense or plunder offerings.
In the words of County Magistrate Xu, the children of Lanzhu have inherited the style of the Saint of Painting.
The people are kind-hearted and live in harmony.
The Wutong temple is built here, but I am afraid it will not be able to receive any offerings for a while.
You have to plan carefully and put in a lot of effort to achieve something.
They should be happy because things are easy to do, but Tang Jie and Di Jia looked as ugly as if they had eaten stink bugs.
Tang Jie was chosen because there was not much merit to be earned, and Di Jia was chosen because changing customs and habits required a lot of energy.
However, it is difficult to shape the people's morals for the better, but it is much easier to destroy them.
With Shanyin County as their base, the Five Gods scattered and headed towards the surrounding counties.
To the north of Yuezhou is the Qiantang River, and to the northwest is Yuhang.
King Tonghui had specifically warned people not to go to this place or worry about it, and to take a detour.
The Immortal Jin Ting was not sure whether King Tonghui knew that the Qiantang Old Dragon had ascended to heaven. Maybe he knew, but the old dragon's power was still there, which was far beyond the reach of the Taihu Dragon God, a weakling. King Tonghui really didn't dare to stroke the dragon's whiskers.
They are both in the Jiangnan area and also located in the southeast. I am afraid that Qiantang Old Dragon has never heard of the name of Wutong God, but Wutong God must have heard of the legend of Old Dragon a long time ago.
Continuing eastward is Mingzhou, which is under the jurisdiction of Yuezhou, but it is too far away and it is unwise to divide the troops. So they went south from Shanyin and developed towards Shengzhou and Jiyang.
And when you reach Jiyang, you will reach Dongyang.
The place where Jiyang and Dongyang intersect is called Wuning County.
The eyes of the Immortal Jin Ting flashed, and he suppressed the restlessness in his heart. He followed the procedures and waited for the Five Gods to occupy Shengzhou and then come to Jiyang.
Finally, we arrived in Wuning.
At this time, another month had passed.
The war in Yuezhou has not been settled yet, and the Yuezhou Censor is unexpectedly tenacious and decisive.
The rich and powerful in the city wanted to collude with the King of Wu to surrender to the enemy. Even ghosts and gods intervened, secretly colluded with each other, entered the city through evil means, and used threats and inducements. Finally, they decided to set fire and cause chaos at Yinshi and take the opportunity to open the city gates.
However, the Yuezhou Censor also had capable people around him. His sorcerer once helped him cut off the head of the Yuezhou City God. The news from the ghosts and gods alarmed the sorcerer, who immediately reported it to the Yuezhou Censor.
The Yuezhou Censor had been forced into a desperate situation and could only hold on and wait for assistance from the imperial court. There was no room for surrender.
People who were forced into a desperate situation naturally would not care about the fairness of the law. They confiscated the property of some wealthy families in the city, exterminated some families, and hung their heads on the city walls to express their resistance and provocation to the King of Wu.
The siege continued to stalemate.
Not only that, in order to guard against ghosts and gods, the city of Yuezhou followed the example of Emperor Huang and set up a large peach doll in the city. Sorcerers prayed and performed rituals to guard the city gates.
If there are ghosts and gods again, they will immediately disturb Taoou and destroy the enemy with the fire of true yang.
At this point, unless the Five Gods personally took action to smash the peach doll, the ghosts and gods would no longer be able to steal information. Even those evil ways hiding in the city were suffocated by the giant peach doll.
Wutongshen could certainly take action, but it would not be wise.
The reason why they attached themselves to the King of Wu's army was to conceal their tracks and confuse people so as to avoid being noticed.
It is naturally impossible to defend Yuezhou City, and they have enough patience to wait.
The Yuezhou Censor waited anxiously for news of the imperial army's rescue, but the imperial army never arrived.
Winter is not the time to mobilize troops. If we want to wait for the imperial army to arrive, we have to wait until the warm spring.
But the King of Wu knew that even if spring came, the court would not come.
The former Dharma Saint in the north has occupied all the energy of the court. The King of Wu has connections in the court and is trying to gain advantages. Mr. Nong is in person to take charge and eliminate any worries for him.
When the imperial court really reacts, it will also have to consider the military strength of King Wu and consider whether it is worth it and whether it can be conquered.
The annexed lands in the southeast were the imperial court’s money bag and granary.
If the King of Wu pretended to submit and was willing to continue paying tribute to the court, the possibility of the court's troops attacking would be even lower.
After all, they were family. No matter who became emperor, they had to consider that the world belonged to Dagan. If Yuan Fasheng had killed the emperor or placed him under house arrest, whether the world could still be in the hands of the King of Wu would be another matter.
The King of Wu would think about these things, and the Emperor would think about these things too.
Although he didn't know much about the new emperor, he knew the previous emperor all too well. Unless the new emperor wasn't his brother's son, given his brother's temperament, the new emperor's tactics wouldn't be much different from the previous emperor's.
The Yuezhou Censor could not wait for rescue from the imperial court.
The King of Wu was convinced, but the Censor of Yuezhou did not.
The Immortal Jin Ting knew all this very well. If the Yuezhou Censor could hold on, the two kings would have to stay here and wait.
The King of Wu led the army in person and still did not return, so naturally they could not return either.
It was at this time that the crazy god entered Wuning County.
Qu Chenghuang of Wuning County did not like these ghosts and gods. Even though the Dongyang County City God had already notified him to give them some convenience and use some means, he still did not like these rampant gods.
Not only do they dislike outsiders, they also dislike the strong smell of incense from these rampant gods.
He couldn't explain why. His cultivation was not high, only the seventh rank. He thought that the righteous gods naturally had aversion to these lewd and evil gods, but in fact, the righteous gods could smell the scent of their sins.
Qu Chenghuang couldn't see through it or explain it clearly, so he could only say that he didn't like it.
These rampant gods were waiting in the City God Temple and did not enter his divine domain. Qu Chenghuang naturally intended to leave them out in the cold. Not only that, he was also buying time for Fox Hill.
When the God of Destruction arrived, City God Qu, combined with the previous decree issued by the County City God, understood what was going on. He also understood who was blocking their path in the county. He immediately called Li Tayun and said, "The God of Destruction Wutong is coming to Wuning to establish a temple. Quickly take your fellow practitioners and flee. Go to Dapan Mountain and don't come out easily."
Li Taoyun did not dare to stay for a moment. While Cangshen was waiting in the City God Temple, he had already rushed to Fox Hill.
