"you......"
Xiao Feng was shocked in his heart, and then responded solemnly: "Yes!"
Xiao Feng retreated.
Master Tianyi picked up the kettle again, and the droplets of water condensed with the power of pure incense fell on the spiritual plant, slipped from the branches and leaves, and flowed through the small fruit with five human-like features.
The human-shaped fruit glowed with a clear light, then disappeared.
"The purest incense is born under war, death, and fear. I was wrong before..."
Master Tianyi gently touched the small fruit and murmured to himself:
"Don't be too surprised when we meet again...
Thanks Qi! ! ! "
.......
The sun and the moon fly like a shuttle, time flies like an arrow, spring turns to winter in a blink of an eye, and everything is covered with silver.
A year has passed.
Huhu~~~
The strong wind swept thousands of piles of snow, and the snow in the mountains was floating, sometimes rising into the sky, sometimes rustling down.
The noise was so loud that many hibernating beasts could not sleep peacefully.
On the other hand, many city gods have less worries. Apart from carving the mountain veins according to the order of An Qisheng, they have nothing to do every day.
Every day, we gather together in the cave to discuss mysteries and Taoism.
An Qisheng gave them Qi seeds, which freed them from the shackles of incense. Instead, they were bound to the mountains. Fortunately, they were already accustomed to such a life. At this time, they were accompanied by many friends.
There is no need to worry about the chores in the world, there is no need to worry about ghosts and monsters hurting people, there is no need to worry about the amount of incense, and there is no need to care about the threat of the Tianyi Sect.
It is much more comfortable than before.
Except for the violent fluctuations coming from the Tai Chi Mountain in the middle of the mountains.
On this day, Zhu Chenghuang was gathering at Pei Yuanhua's mansion. Before the wine was heated up on the small red clay stove, he heard rumbling sounds rolling past, and the snow on the mountain peaks fell rustlingly.
The wind picked up again.
All the city gods were secretly frightened. Although they had seen such fluctuations many times, they still could not calm down.
This aura was too strong, even getting stronger and stronger, making their hearts tremble, as if they were facing an abyss.
However, although Pei Yuanhua and others were frightened, they did not show it very much.
However, one city god jumped up and almost ran away. When he ran to the entrance of the cave, he saw that all the city gods were motionless, and then he smiled sarcastically.
"Brother Zheng, don't panic. This is a real person's practice. Just get used to it."
Pei Yuanhua and others did not mean to laugh, they smiled and comforted.
This city god just came from outside the mountain. To be precise, he just arrived today.
Not only him, there are many city gods in this cave who come from outside Liangzhou. Of course, the city gods cannot leave the state, and if they can, they will naturally be lonely ghosts.
In the battle between the Tianyi Sect and the Yinsi City God, countless city gods were not spared because their temple statues were destroyed and their incense was cut off.
Pei Yuanhua, Sun Qi and other city gods asked An Qisheng for many "Qi seeds" to invite those city gods who had lost their status as city gods to come to the Taiji Mountains to prevent them from turning into evil ghosts and harming the world.
At this time, there were 384 mountains in Taiji, and almost every mountain had a city god stationed there.
"The power of the real person is unpredictable and it is really hard to bear."
Zheng Chenghuang smiled bitterly and sat down.
Although he has never seen the real person, he can't help but be in awe just hearing these colleagues talk about it.
The City God has been trapped in incense for countless years, and it is not that he has not thought about getting rid of the shackles of incense, but there are only a few who succeed, and it is all by chance, and the conditions cannot be replicated.
It is truly unseen and unheard of that such a large number of city gods turned into earthly gods.
You must know that in the past, the lands of the mountain gods also relied on the power of incense and wishes to exist. As they are now, they are truly rooted in the mountains and rivers.
Phew~
While all the city gods were talking among themselves, the air flow roared, and Sun Qi stepped into the cave with a solemn look on his face.
"Brother Sun, you have worked hard all the way. Please sit down quickly."
All the city gods stood up to greet him.
Sun Qi waved his hand and said with a serious expression: "The matter is much more serious than imagined."
"How can I say this? Hasn't the battle between the Tianyi Sect and us stopped?"
Pei Yuanhua was slightly stunned, and the smiles on the faces of the other city gods disappeared.
"Having said that, many City God's Temples have been destroyed, and no one has rebuilt the statues..."
Sun Qi sighed:
"More importantly, many city gods have become disheartened after this incident."
Many city gods looked at each other, speechless.
Speaking of this war, the City God's losses may not be greater than the Tianyi Sect's losses, but once the war ceases, the City God's hard life will really begin.
The banned City God's temple, the destroyed statues, and the incense that was cut off and difficult to renew have all become problems faced by many City Gods.
More importantly, because of the interference of the Daqing court, many city gods were discouraged and no longer willing to protect humans.
If the temple falls down, it can be rebuilt; if the statue is broken, it can be recarved; if the heart is scattered, it cannot be united.
"Are they allowed to be disheartened? Without the incense, they will die. Do they not want to live anymore?"
Pei Yuanhua frowned.
A man will die without grain, and a city god cannot live without incense. Incense is a must, and it cannot be given up simply by giving it up.
What's more, the relationship between the city god and human beings is only maintained by incense. How can there be any affection?
If the city god does not need incense, how many of them are willing to protect humans?
On the other hand, humans have better choices. If I don’t believe you, what can you say?
He would never believe anyone who said he was discouraged.
"That's what they said, but they didn't tell me the details."
Sun Qi's face looked quite bad:
"Everyone gather together for now, I'm going to see the real person for advice."
After saying that, he cupped his hands and left the cave.
Hearing what he said was so serious, the other city gods immediately followed him as they had no intention of drinking.
A large group of people arrived at the foot of Tai Chi Mountain.
A year has passed, and Taiji Mountain is still the same as before. An Qisheng has never made any repairs, so naturally no one dares to make decisions for him privately.
When the city gods came here, the yellow dog was lying in front of the mountain, lazily basking in the sun.
A small red fox was coiled on its back, clutching its hair. The dog and the fox got along very well.
As a year passed, the yellow dog became more and more powerful. From a distance, it looked like an ancient ferocious beast. It snored softly, making all the city gods feel oppressed.
Unable to help but feel envious, the city god was just a dog, following a good master, but he was blessed with good fortune.
"Venerable Huang, we would like to see the real person."
Sun Qi didn't dare to neglect and cupped his fists.
The yellow dog lazily opened his eyes and glanced at the city gods, then closed them again.
Sun Qi breathed a sigh of relief before leading a group of city gods forward.
Pei Yuanhua saw it interestingly. Sun Qi didn't have this attitude before, but after a fight, Sun Qi suffered a big loss, and his attitude became respectful after that.
There is no shame in being unable to defeat a dog, but there is shame in not recognizing the loss.
The little red fox looked curiously at the crowd of city gods going up the mountain, eyes rolling, a little envious.
It hasn't gone up the mountain yet.
The mountains are covered with snow, but there are no snowflakes on Tai Chi, not even a trace of moisture. The grass and trees are all green, and the flowers are blooming, as if spring has arrived.
Halfway up the mountain, in front of three huts, An Qisheng sat cross-legged on a lying cow stone, closing his eyes slightly.
In front of his knees, a series of swords floated around him, slowly rotating around him, and from time to time they made a soft sound of pleasure, as if they were spiritually connected, feeling the heaven and earth.
"Real person."
Sun Qi bowed slightly.
Since the battle with Master Tianyi, his attitude towards An Qisheng has become more and more respectful.
But it's not just about his cultivation, it's about An Qisheng doing what he wanted to do but couldn't do, and he admires him in his heart.
Just like when he lost to a yellow dog, he would always bow down and call the venerable whenever he saw him.
But facing the real person Tianyi, he dared to call him worse than a beast.
Phew~
An Qisheng raised his hand and took the Tao sword.
He slowly opened his eyes, and five colors flashed across his eyes.
"Ma'am, I'm going out this time..."
Sun Qi did not sell out, but directly told what he saw and heard along the way, as well as his request:
"I beg the immortal to give you Qi seeds to gather the city gods in the world. Otherwise, if the underworld continues to collapse over time, city gods will continue to transform into evil ghosts. With the new generation of evil ghosts, I am afraid that the tragedy of the hundreds of ghosts in ancient times will be repeated soon."
The other city gods also bowed.
In ancient times, the emperor's ten cruelties were rampant between the heaven and the earth, creating a kingdom of demons and demons, and all beings were their food.
At that time, the world was full of resentment and evil spirits. All living beings would inevitably turn into evil spirits after death. There were more ghosts than people in the world, and countless living beings were almost extinct.
It wasn't until Lord Netherworld was born that there were truly human laws.
However, at this time, the Lord of Netherworld Mansion had only disappeared for more than a thousand years, and the world was beginning to fall apart again.
Some people are happy to see this scene, but some people are absolutely unwilling to see it.
Sun Qi is the latter.
An Qisheng listened quietly to Sun Qi's story. Naturally, he would not say that he knew everything Sun Qi saw and heard.
After he finished speaking, he said:
"Do you think that if I gather the city gods from all over the world, these city gods will be willing to protect humans again?"
One year is enough for him to sort out the many secrets of this world.
The Yinsi City God system established by Lord Netherworld is undoubtedly not perfect, but it is relatively complete.
The city god relied on incense. Human beings contributed incense to seek the protection of the city god. By binding many city gods, they prevented the city gods from raising humans like cattle and sheep.
After all, compared to the large system of Yinsi City God, human power is too insignificant.
Although he can gather the city gods from all over the world, how can a city god who does not need incense care about the life and death of human beings?
"I......"
Sun Qi wanted to say 'I can', but he hesitated when the words came to his mouth.
Because everyone knows that this is impossible.
There are only naked interests coexisting between ghosts, gods and humans. Without the connection of incense, which city god would care about humans?
"However, these City God matters must be resolved."
An Qisheng looked at the sea of clouds and said slowly:
"It's just that before we solve the problem, we have to meet the one who should be in charge of them..."
