This was not a random decision, but a carefully considered choice.
From the perspective of member Lu, it was a matter of incense that he donated money to build the "General Ye Ming Temple".
It was fate that he happened to live in the "Ye Ming General Temple" when he was in trouble.
Leaving aside some unlucky little things, there were no evil spirits causing trouble during this period.
It can be seen that "General Ye Ming" is very effective and has a good mass base in the entire Yanhua Prefecture. Basically everyone has heard of it.
Another point is that in these troubled times, it would be no problem to choose a great scholar from history to be the city god, but at this time it is obvious that a person with a military background is more suitable, as he can pacify the evil spirits.
In addition, he had the idea of showing kindness to Mr. Bai.
It can be said that all this is logical.
Sure enough, after the idea was put forward, almost no one objected, especially the common people, who kept spreading word of mouth about the deeds of "General Ye Ming".
In addition, we heard that Mr. Bai's village was dedicated to "General Ye Ming", so it was naturally impossible for anyone to object.
So, the matter was settled.
Everyone agreed, except for the opinion of the protagonist.
By the time Ye Ming found out about this, it was already the evening of September 8th, the eve of the completion of the new Town God's Temple.
Knowing this news made Ye Ming feel dizzy.
He knows very well what Yanhua Mansion is like now.
In today's troubled times, just the resentment absorbed every day is very satisfying to the demon, and the transformation of the demonic lotus has never stopped.
This was originally a good thing for him, but if he became the city god of Fucheng, he would not only be in charge of Yanhua Fucheng, but also the entire Yanhua area.
Although the aspiration and the sentiment of believers he can obtain will increase, he will also be forced to fight against the evil spirits in the whole government.
This is not a cost-effective deal. The cost is too great. Ye Ming can already imagine how busy he will be every day in the future.
However, the right to confer the title of City God is in the hands of people. When most people agree, the City God can be established, and Ye Ming is forced to accept this position.
This also makes Yao Jiandong and other Yin Chai feel very strange.
This is a bit bizarre. A few days ago, it was just a piece of land. In the blink of an eye, he would become the city god and the immediate boss of himself and others.
How many levels are there in between?
Not only did he directly cross over all the Yin difference departments at the county level, he even crossed over the two major departments of rewarding good and punishing evil at the government level, and directly reached a position that most Yin difference could not reach in their lifetime.
After Miss Wen heard about this, she smiled and said:
"It seems that our landlady is going to take over and become the city god."
The man in green taunted:
"Tch, if he is so lazy and doesn't care about anything, I think if he is not a city god for three days, he will be torn down the statue and thrown into a pit."
Lei Ling knew that this guy would definitely become stronger.
Maisui said that his father is so powerful and he should be an official no matter how high he is.
Just like that, early in the morning on September 9th, the Double Ninth Festival, tens of thousands of people gathered in front of the newly built and somewhat crude Chenghuang Temple.
Some are seriously ill, some are haunted by evil spirits, and some are specifically looking for psychological comfort.
Of course, the most people are watching the fun.
The most important thing is that with a wave of his hand from Yuanwai Lu today, everyone who came to attend the inauguration ceremony of the New Town God's Temple was given porridge.
There is no doubt that this is a huge temptation. Even people from many surrounding villages came here after hearing the news.
Ye Ming stood on top of the new statue reluctantly at this time, looking at the crowd of people rubbing shoulders, feeling his willpower, resentment, and their pain. Ye Ming felt very comfortable.
It seems that becoming a city god is not that bad after all!
Miss Wen and Lu Yi were holding hands and looking at this place from a distance where no one else could see them. Lei Ling nestled comfortably in Mai Sui's arms and was also watching.
The inauguration ceremony was presided over by Yuan Wai Lu himself. Since he contributed a lot today, he was not unlucky.
As the ceremony progressed step by step, Ye Ming felt that a large amount of wish power was condensing. All these wishes were gathered around the statue, waiting for the ceremony to be completed and integrated into the statue.
At this time, Ye Ming had two choices. One was to let the power of wish be integrated into the statue normally.
Secondly, just like in Lao Zhang Village, the statue is just a cover, and all the power of the wish actually exists in the incense burner, the same incense burner that sealed him for who knows how many years.
After a brief consideration, Ye Ming took out the incense burner from the Lao Zhang Village Ancestral Hall and decided not to store his wish power in the statue.
In this case, even if someone destroys the statue in the future, he will not be severely traumatized all at once.
It’s always good to have more insurance.
Under his guidance, massive amounts of wish power began to pour into the incense burner.
In addition to willingness, there is also a lot of public grievance at the scene.
This is what the City God is like. He enjoys the people's will and power, but he also has to accept the people's resentment.
People in the world often "swear the city god". If something goes wrong at home, they will scold the city god; if they are bullied by evil people, but the evil people do not receive retribution, they will scold the city god; if their wishes are not fulfilled, they will scold the city god...
In today's troubled times, the people's dissatisfaction is particularly strong, and the scolding of the city god is also particularly fierce.
Just for a moment, Ye Ming heard the murmurs of countless people, some good and some bad, all mixed together.
"Why isn't it over yet? Come on, I'm so annoyed. I want to drink porridge!"
"I'm so hungry. Can't you have some porridge first?"
"Bless me, Lord City God, and may my son's illness get better soon."
"Master Xincheng Huang, you must drive away the dirty things that are causing trouble around our house!"
"Bullshit City God, our 'Evil God Sect' is the most spiritual. Only by worshiping the Evil God will you not be harmed!
Look at me, I will lead someone to smash your statue in a moment! "
Um! ?
This voice was composed of believers from other sects.
Obviously, these people are planning to cause trouble today.
Ye Ming began to look for these people intentionally.
I found that there were quite a few people from other sects here today, but most of them had no intention of causing trouble.
It is even found that some people believe in seven or eight sects at a time. To put it simply, if that sect provides food, then they believe in that sect.
Today the City God is giving porridge, so let’s just believe in the City God.
After searching around, I found out that it was mainly the "Evil God Cult" who wanted to cause trouble.
This came at just the right time, and Ye Ming was very happy.
Today, when I ascend to the throne of City God, I can just do something big in public and show some miracles.
What, you said that gods are not allowed to attack mortals?
Sorry, I am the city god now, and I am the one who rules.
Does anyone want to appeal?
Then I have no choice but to open a court hearing and ask first, "Who in the hall is suing me?"
As the ceremony progressed, the statue was carried into the main hall of the temple, where Lu Yuanwai was personally reciting the city god's enthronement edict.
At this moment, a group of thugs who usually do all kinds of evil suddenly rushed out with sticks and hoes, shouting something like "Down with the City God, the evil god sect is the biggest" and wanted to destroy the statue.
The people were shocked when they saw this, but before anyone could react, they saw the statue of the City God in front of them glowing.
The bright light was so dazzling that those scoundrels felt their eyes sting when they were swept away by the light.
Not only that, after these people were struck by the light, they knelt directly on the ground as if they had seen some terrible scene, slapping their faces hard while loudly telling their crimes.
It ranged from petty theft to rape and robbery, and some of them had killed others, all of which were revealed.
After talking about their crimes, these people knelt on the ground one by one and kowtowed to the City God.
Seeing this, Yuan Lu immediately asked people to take these people down and put them in prison.
The common people were so excited when they saw the City God appearing with their own eyes that they all knelt on the ground to pay homage to the City God.
At this moment, Ye Ming felt that his willpower was surging.
After receiving such a big gift at once, he thought it would be better to show some appreciation.
He took out the disease core disguised as an orb and sucked it downwards.
Suddenly, many people felt that their illnesses began to improve, and their condition suddenly became worse.
Especially some people who suffer from skin diseases such as malignant sores suddenly feel that the malignant sores on their bodies disappear.
Due to the recent natural disasters and man-made disasters, who among you has not suffered any illness?
Suddenly, it was a little better, or even better. Many people were immediately moved and shed tears of pain. They worshiped the city god and even smashed their heads.
Seeing this, Ye Ming decided that a good person would do it to the end, so he simply mobilized his will power and spread it out in large numbers.
Under the sweeping force of the wish, many people who were contaminated by evil spirits or possessed by ghosts immediately felt light.
The things that bothered me seemed to have been cleared away.
In the miraculous manifestation of the City God, Lu Yuanwai read the appointment letter of the City God.
As the last sentence fell, countless wishes gathered into the incense burner brought by Ye Ming.
At the same time, a golden seal condensed, which was the Seal of the City God.
When Ye Ming takes over the seal, he is equivalent to taking over the City God's Office.
The moment he took possession of the seal, he felt that he was connected to the will power of the entire Yanhua Mansion.
You can sense the wishes of the people, hear their voices, and be harassed by all kinds of resentments.
Anyone who scolds the city god can also be heard.
Fortunately, this function can be turned off, otherwise I would have been scolded to death.
At the same time, Ye Ming also saw a large amount of public resentment lingering around him.
In the past, grievances would be blocked out of the temple by the city god with his will power, lest they interfere with himself and other evil spirits.
But these things are as important to Ye Ming as the power of will, and they cannot be wasted.
Immediately, a clone went out, and as a core, it began to continuously gather and absorb resentment.
The main reason why it is not directly absorbed by the main body is that the movement is too obvious and it doesn't matter if mortals can't see it.
But other negative differences can be seen. How will we explain them then?
So use your clone to absorb it first, and just take the time to recall it every once in a while.
In addition, Ye Ming also felt that countless people's emotions also gathered here.
Regarding these emotions, Ye Ming was not polite at all, directly exposed to and absorbed them in large quantities.
At this moment, he felt that the progress of practicing the "Ascetic Sutra" and "Bitter Fruit Golden Body" had directly changed from the speed of a horse to the speed of flying in the clouds.
Complete a transformation with progress that is almost visible to the naked eye.
Although the cultivation level has not improved significantly, Ye Ming knows that the relics of the "Ascetic Sutra" and the golden body of the "Bitter Fruit Golden Body" already have Bodhisattva-level potential.
As long as he is willing, he can condense it now and greatly increase his cultivation.
But Ye Ming didn't do that. His ambition was very big, Bodhisattva level, but it had not yet reached his expectations.
Therefore, he did not condense and continued to precipitate.
After all, there is only one chance to condense.
With the completion of the Chenghuang Temple, people began to line up to drink porridge.
Ye Ming checked the wish power in the incense burner. This amount was really not comparable to that of just a piece of land. Today's income alone was enough for him to accumulate land for a year.
It seems that this city god is worthy of his role.
Then, Ye Ming stirred the wish power in the incense burner, and part of it flew out and fell into the statue, forming a wish power space inside the statue.
This space was empty and needed to be laid out by him, the City God.
This kind of thing seemed very troublesome to Ye Ming. He was too lazy to think about the internal configuration, so he directly followed the layout in his memory when Lu Dingchang was there, and waved his hand to reflect it.
Sure enough, this is fast. It can be completed in one go. You don’t have to study it yourself and waste a long time.
After getting these things done, the next step is to appoint officials...
...
