Chapter 68: Conferred God
??Night, City God Temple.
??The temperature in the south, which has already entered autumn, still remains at 20 degrees, and can even reach 30 degrees during the day.
??A car was parked on the side of the road. Xie Yunan sat in the driver's seat, quietly waiting for Li Yi to wake up.
??The order from above kept echoing in his mind, supervising Li Yi to enthrone the City God.
Even Xie Yunan, a military supervisor who rarely showed his emotions, could not help but secretly curse his superiors for being shameless. They really did everything they could to save face. If they were not satisfied with the result, would they accuse him of incompetence?
??Although this sounds far-fetched, she believes that it is always okay for the superiors to not behave like human beings.
??At this time, Xie Yunan saw Li Yi slowly waking up through the rearview mirror, and glanced at the sky outside which had already turned completely dark.
??Li Yi asked: "How are the yellow paper and brushes prepared?"
"It's ready." Xie Yunan took out the bag on the passenger seat, which contained a brush and yellow paper.
??Xie Yunan got out of the car first and opened the door for him.
Li Yi walked down and looked at the City God Temple in front of him. It was two stories high, with the bottom floor made of stone slabs, a brick structure, and a mud-roofed tiled house. Although it didn't look big, the two-story City God Temple was too small in this steel forest, but the traces left by the years made it look vigorous.
??As soon as you enter the door, you will see a two-meter-high copper incense burner with a mountain of white ash inside. It is obvious that the incense is very popular.
??You can see the end of the temple at a glance. The statue of the City God sits on the main seat, with a dignified demeanor and wearing a red official robe.
??City God Su Guang was the prefect of Qingzhou County hundreds of years ago. He made great contributions to the control of locusts and was loved by the people of Qingzhou. After his death, he was enshrined in the City God Temple and was named Qingyang Weiling Gong.
??Most of the gods in China are deceased heroes or famous officials who are generally recognized by the local people and worshipped as city gods.
??There was no one in the temple, obviously it had been cleared out.
The statue of the City God is full of incense, even more so than the most popular City God Temples in the cultivation world. In Li Yi's eyes, the one sitting on it is not a clay sculpture, but a City God with a form but no spirit.
??It looks extremely majestic from the outside, but in fact it is just a shell of incense without any intelligence.
This is an extremely rare situation. The City God has a form but no spirit, and his position is like a vacant position. However, it is the most common situation in the early days of the world. Hundreds of years ago, there were no laws of heaven that would not allow these great men and heroes to leave their souls. The statues in front of them were just the incense of the people.
??It is precisely because of this that they were given the opportunity to take the blame.
??Similarly, this statue of the City God has also been replaced, and more than once. Although most of it has been consumed by incense, there are still some traces left.
??Li Yi watched quietly for a few seconds, picked up a stick of incense on the table, lit it and casually inserted it into the incense burner.
??Click!
??The incense broke in half and fell onto the white ash, and the spark at the tip quickly went out.
??Light another incense stick, this time without inserting it into the incense burner, the incense in your hand broke instantly.
??Two consecutive abnormalities caught Xie Yunan’s attention. Even at this moment, even though she was in the Qi training stage, she could sense that something was wrong with the surrounding atmosphere.
??The originally aimless incense seemed to come alive.
The statue of the City God shook slightly, and all the incense sticks in the temple suddenly broke in half.
?? Then a figure flew out from the City God statue and stood in front of them. He was eight feet tall, wearing a red official robe, and looked stern but not mean. He looked down at the two people in front of him and said in a majestic voice:
"Who is in the audience?"
??“City God…” Xie Yunan took a half step back, grabbed his sleeve, and pressed the button hidden inside his clothes hard.
??There has never been a City God Temple, because the people who can be carried into the City God Temple are historical figures from at least a hundred years ago. In modern times, due to changes in values and government, basically no great men and heroes have been carried into the City God Temple.
The revival of spiritual energy began ten years ago, and the extraordinary came to the fore eight years ago. Before that, concepts such as spirit, soul, and spirit did not exist.
??That is to say, the City God in front of him could only be a substitute.
??Whether it is a monk who hides his identity or an evil demon, anyone who steals Chen Chenghuang's position without authorization will face severe crackdown from the company.
"Who is in the audience?"
??Li Yi raised his hand and grabbed. The eight-foot-tall and majestic City God in front of him turned into ashes in an instant. The gust of wind that followed made everything around whistle, and the white ashes in the incense burner scattered all over the sky.
??When everything settled down, a wisp of black soul was grasped in Li Yi's hand.
"It's the same trick again."
?? Zhi Jue, who was once known as one of the eight great masters in the world, used this method to make people in the world go around in circles, and created millions of incarnations by transforming souls and taking over bodies. It is unknown how many upright disciples and even the elders of the sect became incarnations without anyone noticing.
??Tian Xin Jue is undoubtedly the supreme sword intent in the soul and spirit Taoism. It is invincible in the soul and spirit field, and Zhi Jue has pushed it to a new peak.
??The monks tried their best to maintain their true self, but Zhi Jue did the opposite. He split his true self into independent consciousnesses, and then relied on the Tianxin Jue to grow rapidly, reaching the point where his body could be transformed into thousands.
??Strictly speaking, the original Zhijue is already dead, and the only one left is him who has the same memories.
??The current environment makes Tian Xin Jue invincible, especially this tangible but soulless City God, which is simply a perfect target for possession. Tian Xin Jue has already split his original self into countless parts, so there is no need to worry about the intrusion of incense. If one dies, there is still a second one.
