Provincial Civil Affairs Bureau.
"How's it going over there in Taicheng?"
"The latest news is that mysterious phenomena have appeared in the Shegong Temple of the Realm Master in every village in every county in Taicheng. It seems that the speed of that person is much faster than we imagined."
"It may also be related to the small size of Taicheng. It was only divided in the 1990s. It is not comparable to large prefectures like Chuchuan Gaoliang."
"At least it proves that our guess was right. He is by no means as simple as an ordinary city god. How can any city god occupy the land of three mansions so exaggeratedly?"
"That's right, with such an existence, tell me what I can do? Fight hard? Please! All of them combined are not thick enough for one finger!"
"The only good thing is that we don't have any problems with each other, and we even have a pretty good relationship."
"..."
Ever since the attitude of the headquarters changed, the provincial capital started to behave badly when faced with that mysterious being.
You do your business, I do mine, and no one interferes with each other.
With that person's ability and temperament, he could only help solve the problem and had no chance of creating it.
Such a free helper, what else do you need a bicycle?
After choosing to mess up, everyone felt that their thoughts were much clearer.
Eh? Wouldn't it be nice if I had known this earlier, so that everyone would not have to worry about this and that all the time. Instead of worrying about whether other gods will be unfavorable to us, we should first find a way to deal with the weirdness.
It is still necessary to distinguish between primary contradictions and secondary contradictions.
…
And over there in the capital,
After learning that Taicheng Mansion had also been brought under the jurisdiction of the city god, they all fell silent and then sighed.
"Let's just say, there's nothing we can do to stop it. Just cooperate honestly and we'll be done."
"Speaking of which, the quantity and quality of the batch of magical artifacts exchanged last time were quite good. The feedback from the following provinces is all positive. I think we might as well increase the number of weird transactions."
"More? There are already 300 weird ones. I'm afraid our inventory is not enough."
"It's okay. The level of weird activity has been quite high recently. Although the number of B-levels has dropped off a cliff, the number of C-levels and A-levels has increased. Transfer them all, and give him all the A-level ones!"
"So, the path of being a master of tricks is considered to be completely abandoned?"
"Give up. In the past, I had no choice, so I risked the lives of my comrades for a small chance. Now that there is a better direction outside, it is not worth it to continue to follow the original path."
"Too……"
"..."
After some discussion, the next tone was set.
The consistent operation of the Daxia government was to focus on development first. Now that they are powerful, avoid their sharp edges. When one day your own strength catches up, it will not be too late to start the conversation again.
…
at the same time.
Chen Jingle is currently setting up secret missions for six counties and districts in Taicheng.
"What a difference, what a difference..."
The selection criteria are the same as those of Chuchuan Gaoliang before, with character first and ability second.
However, the population in Taicheng was relatively small, so the selection process was not as easy as in the previous two provinces. It took a long time to select the candidate, who was the tallest among the short ones.
Fortunately, the impermanent-level Yinzai only needs to perform the simple task of extraditing the dead souls.
The position of judge is still vacant.
Except for Orange County, Chen Jingle has not appointed a second judge.
"How should I put it, it always feels like it's not the right time."
Zhong Cheng was just a small experiment for him.
I haven't figured out how to set up the system of Judge yet. This position is the one with the greatest authority in the Yinsi Yamen besides the City God. To a certain extent, it is even more important than the City God.
He is not worried about the knowledge of modern people, but in terms of character, there are really not many people who can meet the standards.
Especially after entering society, those who still adhere to their ideals and strive for their ideals are extremely rare.
Have you ever noticed that people like Zhong Cheng can be trending in the news?
This is an impetuous era. Most people have their edges smoothed by reality, and people with noble character are becoming increasingly rare.
In comparison, the Yin difference system is much simpler.
At present, two officers in each county are enough to maintain order. There is no need to set up even higher-level shackle generals.
"Anyway, let's do this for now."
Chen Jingle secretly shook his head.
Given that there aren't many bad guys at the moment, he can still handle it.
It is estimated that after taking over the whole of Guangnan and setting foot in other provinces, they will consider setting up more judges to help handle affairs.
…
After settling the shady matter in Taicheng, Chen Jingle went straight to the next state capital without stopping.
The next target is Yuncheng.
Yuncheng is also called Shidu.
Due to the slightly low economic level, its presence in Guangnan Province has never been very obvious. However, the stone processing industry here is very developed, and naturally there are many stonemasons gathered here.
Thus was born the belief in the masonry industry——
Master Wooding.
Master Wu Ding was actually five people. Wu Ding was also called Wu Ding. Legend has it that he was the five strong men who dug the road to Shu. Later, the Shu Road opened by Wuding was called Jinniu Road, Shiniu Road or Wuding Road, and the legend of Wuding was recorded and passed down.
In the old days, masons from the Three Religions, Nine Streams, Five Elements and Eight Works not only worshiped Patriarch Lu Ban, but also worshiped Master Wu Ding.
Many of them learned the craftsman Lu Ban's method, thus forming the unique Wu Ding Master Sect here in Yuncheng, which has been passed down for more than 400 years.
However, those who learn the Luban method are not necessarily from the Wooding Master sect; many are just ordinary craftsmen.
Because folk teachings also talk about inheritance, you have to go through many tests before you can become a disciple and learn the techniques.
Just like the Luban religion next door, which is of the same lineage, you must first have a predestined relationship and successfully become a teacher, and then evaluate the Luban position and obtain the Luban yin and yang certificate before you can become a teacher.
The Wooding sect is similar.
However, the Luban method they learned was not very powerful and was not focused on fighting.
Because in the past, the status of craftsmen was low. After you finished the work for the master, if someone picked on you and blamed you, you could only swallow it and consider yourself unlucky.
The first volume of Lu Ban's Law records some small tricks to trick people who do not follow the rules and conscience, making their families uneasy.
For example, cabinets move on their own, windows make abnormal noises, etc.
The second volume contains solutions and some methods to exorcise evil spirits and cure diseases.
But today, there are not many people who know the Luban method.
After all, in modern society, honesty and fairness are important in doing business. If things cannot be resolved, the government will help mediate them, so there is no need to learn those methods of punishing people.
Just because you have less, it doesn't mean you don't have anything.
Once you learn how to practice well, at least you don’t have to worry about being owed salary by your boss.
Of course, the consequence of this is that the risk of being labeled as maliciously asking for wages also increases.
…
Since the last conspiracy incident, there have been more and more people from the three religions and nine streams in Guangnan, and they seem to be a bit mixed.
Apart from secretly warning them not to cause trouble when they entered Guangnan territory, the government took no other action.
These folk legal practitioners still have some skills. With their help, at least dealing with weird things will be much easier.
The people within the government also guessed their purpose, and they just wanted to hug their thighs.
Oh, the abacus is loud enough.
Unfortunately it was a bit too naive.
"Please, that's a real god. Can you hug me if you want?" People in the government organization sneered at this, and most of them were waiting to see the joke.
Fortunately, the folk legal practitioners are also very disciplined.
It's a joke, there's no shame in pursuing your dreams.
The worst thing is to stay away.
No one wants to end up in a lawsuit instead of getting things done.
After all, now that the government is strong and itself is in decline, no one in their right mind would do something as stupid as an egg against a stone, it is meaningless.
…
A milk tea shop on the roadside.
Yan Junwen held the cup of Xueding Oolong and took a deep sip, and asked the young man next to him: "How are you doing? Have you gained anything from these few days in Yuncheng?"
He was ordered to contact some folk legal practitioners. The young man in front of him who was an orthodox Luban sect caught his eye. After two contacts, he gradually became familiar with him.
Shi Feng shrugged: "I haven't encountered anything else, but I have received a lot of orders for helping people consecrate Feng Shui ornaments and the like. I have been busy with this in the past two days."
"Tsk, you didn't make less money, did you?"
Even though he was a B-class conspirator from the Civil Affairs Bureau and his salary was high, Yan Junwen still couldn't help but feel sour.
Damn it, rich people are so stupid. If you hire a master sculptor to do it, you can easily pay tens or even millions in appearance fees, which is more than even a star can show off.
The money is so good!
Shi Feng rolled his eyes: "What do you earn? You have to donate most of it, and the rest is enough to eat. Although the Luban method does not have three disadvantages and five shortcomings, if you do it too much, you will be unlucky. You will have to drink cold water." Teeth gap, how can you feel so comfortable eating royal food?"
"comfortable?"
Yan Junwen sneered: "How about you and I swap roles? Use your abilities once and then once, and you will have to wait for death before long."
Shi Feng remained silent.
Although he is not a human spirit, he is not stupid either. Just talk about it. His ability is good at dealing with ordinary weirdos, but he can only stop when he encounters powerful ones.
I am my master's disciple, so I can't let him go.
It's better to let people from the government come in, he's timid.
The girl at the milk tea shop playing with her mobile phone at the counter next to her was already used to this. My boss has been addicted to it for many years. Every time he talks to people, he makes strange noises. He even wonders whether the poisoning is too deep and he should be sent for electrotherapy.
…
At this moment, Yan Junwen looked at his phone and his expression suddenly changed slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Shi Feng was keenly aware of the change in the other person's expression, and immediately reacted: "Who showed up?"
He made money, but he never forgot what his mission was.
That is related to the future prosperity of Luban Sect.
"no!"
Yan Junwen put away his phone and prepared to leave, subconsciously denying it.
Shi Feng didn't believe it: "Don't lie to me, it must be that one!"
He understood the other party's intention to monitor him, and he didn't want to use the other party's identity to get information.
Yan Junwen's eyes widened: "Go away, go about your business, don't follow me!"
Shi Feng smiled playfully: "No, look at what you said, this is too foreign. At least we all had dinner together. Brother, if I take off, I will never forget you!"
"Just you? Take off?" Yan Junwen was disdainful.
Shi Feng was dissatisfied: "What expression, don't bully the young man! I am the best craftsman of Zhang Da lineage in the past 500 years, and my craftsmanship has surpassed that of my master!"
"Well, it's pretty awesome, but what does it have to do with that person?"
"I-I can help carve the statue of the god! There is no more suitable carver than me!"
Shi Feng was speechless and racked his brains to come up with such a reason.
Yan Junwen shook his head and said nothing.
Haha, it’s too simple to think.
How can you imagine the power of gods?
But there was no further objection.
Just follow, if you have the ability, keep following.
The two of them rushed to the location marked in the message from the Yuncheng Civil Center.
However, before they arrived, they were still a long way away when they felt some powerful and mysterious force pass over their heads. A short Tushu Temple in the nearby village was instantly covered by a layer of power, and then emanated. It gave off a completely different aura than before.
The charm appears!
Realm Lord Divine Light!
Shi Feng and Yan Junwen's eyes widened in shock.
What a speed!
It's straightforward and neat, without any sloppiness. At this rate, it won't take until noon, and the entire Longzhou will be owned by others.
No wonder the provincial capital only asked to pay attention to the trends.
"Is this, the method of gods?"
Yan Junwen was stunned, but Shi Feng's eyes burst out with enthusiasm.
This kind of ability is countless times more powerful than his heavenly craftsmanship, and far exceeds the limit that human beings can achieve!
Perhaps, this is what I have always wanted to find, the fate that transcends the mortal realm!
At this moment, he put away his arrogance as a sculpting genius, because the charm of the small earth temple in front of him was enough for him to copy for a lifetime!
"It turns out that the gap between mortals and gods is so huge..."
Well, isn't this a thigh in another sense?
In fact, it was not just the Luban sect who came to Yuncheng, there were also many disciples of other sects.
After feeling the power of the gods, these people became more and more enthusiastic. They wanted to rush in front of the gods immediately and hugged them tightly without letting go.
However, Chen Jingle knew nothing about this.
In other words, he didn't pay attention at all.
He came to Yuncheng only for three things——
Jingzhu Temple! Jingzhu Temple! It’s still the Jingzhu Temple!
…
Yuncheng has five counties under its jurisdiction, among which Longzhou is a trusteeship county.
Longzhou worships the Northern Emperor, Yunan worships Duke Zhang, Xinzhou worships the Sixth Ancestor, Yun'an celebrates Emperor Guan, and Chengxi worships the Dragon Mother.
The above is the main distribution of beliefs in Yuncheng, but when it comes to the details between villages, they are actually very different, and each village has its own inheritance.
There are even many people who worship Mazu. Obviously Yuncheng is not a coastal city.
This shows the complexity of folk beliefs.
Fortunately, the state capital is not big, and its population is about the same as that of Tai City. There are only 6,121 Jingzhu temples in total, which is only about a hundred more than Orange County.
Among them, Longzhou covers the largest area and has the most villages and temples, with 2,399. The other districts are basically only half of Longzhou.
Yuncheng District is the most outrageous, with only 120.
So I didn't waste too much time here.
After completing the occupation of the entire Yuncheng, Chen Jinngle went to Duanzhou to explain what it means to be the Liver Emperor without rest at all!
…
Because of their geographical relationship, Yuncheng and Duanzhou are often discussed together.
In a way, they are actually brothers in distress.
Duanzhou is the origin of Duan Inkstone, one of the four famous inkstones, and the inkstone workers here also pay homage to Master Wu Ding.
However, compared to Yuncheng, Master Wu Ding in Duanzhou has a much higher status.
Already ranked in the immortal class.
Although it is only a secular god enshrined by the people, it is enough to prove its status.
Divine titles are often found in "Emperor Feng Wu Ding Xianshi, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry", or "Emperor Feng Wu Ding Xianshi Taibao Taibao", or "Yu Feng Jiutian Kaihua Wenchang Emperor Wu Ding Xianshi Xianshi".
Whenever a new inkstone worker joins the profession, on the day when the apprenticeship ceremony is held, they will be led by their master to offer tribute to their ancestor and perform three kowtows and nine bows.
This is also considered a form of inheritance.
As for whether he learned the Craftsman Luban method, I don’t know.
…
Chen Jingle's fast steps made the provincial capital civil affairs branch very unaccustomed to it. For a moment, they were worried about gains and losses, and were both looking forward to and nervous.
Now that we have arrived in Duanzhou, should we go to Chancheng next?
Now that we have arrived in Chancheng, should we go to the provincial capital next?
If you enter the provincial capital, you will be regarded as the capital city god...right?
Oh my God!
The capital city of Guangnan has a prince!
Guangnan Yousheng King!
Although I don’t know who named this king, this title has existed since the appearance of the statue. It definitely did not appear out of thin air. It is just that the historical records have been lost and the source has not been found for the time being.
When I think that the other party was so inconspicuous at first, but now it is about to become the capital city of a province, the Chuchuan branch, the provincial civil affairs branch, and even the capital headquarters, everyone's mood can be described by the following process:
In the first stage, mysterious creatures of unknown origin appeared in Orange County;
In the second stage, the ferocious and trouble-making demon king occupied Chunchuan;
In the third stage, the terrifying existence of unknown enemies and enemies begins to enter Gaoliang;
In the fourth stage, Lord Chenghuang captured the four western prefectures of Guangnan;
In the fifth stage, the most spiritual and holy Wei Linggong will arrive in his loyal provincial capital today!
