Mountain temple.
main hall.
"gone?"
Zhou Yi stood in front of the statue and used the Concentration Technique to gather wisps of incense and wish power like blue smoke.
"gone."
The spiritual ginseng doll bowed and said: "Immortal chief, that guy has joined Tianjun's sect and is familiar with the world of immortal cultivation in Dongsheng Shenzhou. Why don't you let me become Xiaoqing so that I can understand a thing or two?"
“Haste makes waste!”
Zhou Yi said: "Although Lin Heng is extremely talented, he has pale eyebrows and thin lips. This is a sign of early death. God Transformation Heavenly Lord will definitely be able to see it, and with a little calculation, he will know that someone is secretly supporting him, and if he gets involved in private, it may cause disaster. "
Divination of arithmetic involves heavenly secrets, which often damages longevity, so few monks study and practice it intensively.
People who live in the realm of gods have a long lifespan, and it is easier for lower-level monks to make divination. When they encounter doubts, they will often do divination and ask about the bad luck.
Lingshen doll nodded and said: "I see, it's just a pity to let Lin Heng go like this."
Zhou Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at the ginseng doll carefully and said hesitantly.
"You guys don't pretend to be real, do you?"
"No, no!"
The spiritual ginseng doll shook his head repeatedly and said: "The spiritual ginseng is a hermaphrodite, neither male nor female, so I will never have such thoughts."
"That's good."
Zhou Yi moved his position, no longer facing the Lingshen doll, and said: "Things in the world are entangled with cause and effect, and even immortals cannot sort them out and cannot avoid them. Lin Heng owes Pindao now. If he doesn't pay back today, he will not be able to avoid it in the future." Will pay it back."
"Remember, you must never owe anyone karma in the future, you will have to pay it back sooner or later!"
"I will follow the instructions of the Immortal."
The ginseng doll scratched its head and ears, wondering why.
While talking.
The incense from the mountain god statue was extracted cleanly, and all of it was gathered into Zhou Yi's hand, forming a gray ball the size of a fist.
This is the initial condensed incense, which contains the mottled and complex wishes of believers, including not only negative thoughts such as greed, resentment, and evil thoughts, but also other thoughts such as prayer, praise, and reverence.
Both the former and the latter need to be expelled from the incense.
When a monk refines spiritual energy, he consumes wish beads at the same time, making his practice more than three to five times faster.
The disadvantage is that the wish power of incense will be integrated into the magic power. As the practice goes on, it will also penetrate into the body and soul. Theoretically, after countless years of accumulation, the wish power will eventually backfire.
The will power of hundreds of millions of living beings counterattacked, probably turning the monks into gods completely!
This is also the reason why Zhou Yi did not dare to use the Wish Power Pearl to practice, but only used it to resist the heavenly tribulation and condense the Nascent Soul.
The lifespan of other monks is short, and with the secret method of removing the residual power of incense and desire, there will be no backlash before the lifespan is exhausted. If it is applied to Zhou Yi, it will accumulate and explode sooner or later.
"There are no shortcuts to immortality!"
Zhou Yi used the incense refining technique to continuously purify the incense, and the gray, black and white impurities quickly dispersed.
The gray incense ball slowly shrank until it was as big as the belly of your thumb, condensing from the air ball into substance.
Eventually it became a standard wish power bead.
The Incense Concentration Technique does not specify the size of the Wish Power Bead, and it can be refined into a fist or a human head. However, the Great Heng Dynasty established corresponding standards in order to facilitate management, trading, and collection of incense from the righteous gods from various places.
"There are still many impurities in the wish beads, which seem to originate from the deepest thoughts of believers and involve deeper causes and effects. Fortunately, the incense obtained by poor Taoists is all obtained by the right way, and there has never been any cheating."
"The right way to obtain incense is magnificent, and the wish beads that are made will have very few residual thoughts!"
Zhou Yi realized in his heart that the divine way is similar to the immortal way and can also be divided into good and evil.
"It's a pity that there are too few people around Wushan. Even if they all believe in Pindao, it will be a drop in the bucket to break through to the Nascent Soul realm!"
It is not easy to refine incense.
The people of Wushan had to contribute two to three months of incense to make one wishing pearl. Zhouyi worked hard for ten years and only accumulated fifty or sixty pearls, which were not as good as the ones obtained by killing Hongluo.
"A golden belt for murder and arson. However, if you walk too much at night, you will eventually encounter ghosts. It's better for me to save up slowly!"
Zhou Yi has a peaceful nature and does not like fighting and fighting. His greatest wish is to practice peacefully and steadily for thousands of years until Xiaju ascends.
"Wait a minute, since the Wish Power Pearl can be traded, then the divine position is not the only way!"
…
Spring passes and autumn comes.
Another year has passed by in a blink of an eye.
Linyang County.
Xiaoxiang Tower.
The orioles and swallows are red and green, and it is very lively.
Zhou Yi lay lazily on the couch, hugging him from left to right. A girl in front of him was beating his legs, and a girl behind him was pressing his shoulders.
Downstairs on the stage.
A dozen women in thin clothes danced to the sound of silk and bamboo. The new courtesan, Miss Xixi, had a graceful figure, and her seductive moves caused continuous howls of wolves.
The usually well-dressed scholars slowly relaxed their hands and feet in such an atmosphere.
Zhou Yi opened his mouth and ate the grapes, thinking happily about Shu and saying: "You are a true immortal living like this, and it will only take you thirty to fifty thousand years!"
"Master Zhu is joking."
The girl in her arms pursed her lips and smiled and said: "How can anyone in this world listen to music for so long? Usually they stop coming when they get older. They care about face and don't want to waste money!"
"We can do it."
Zhou Yi turned around and took a sip of grape wine, and said with a smile: "My master is like this when he is six thousand five hundred years old, and he is like this when he is sixty-five thousand years old!"
The girls laughed and laughed, thinking that the young man was drunk.
At this time.
Zhou Yi, who was drunk and hazy, suddenly raised his head and looked to the northwest. He could clearly feel the fluctuations of heaven and earth's vitality, and the sound of thunder could be heard endlessly.
"Little Four Nine Heavenly Tribulation!"
"The only one who has overcome the calamity in Linyang County is the county magistrate. In the past twelve years, from the middle stage of foundation building to the fake elixir, it is no wonder that all the monks are obsessed with the Wish Power Pearl. It is really a treasure that increases mana..."
Zhou Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and remembered County Magistrate Zhao in his heart.
For twelve years, the imperial court did not entrust new land to Linyang. During this period, there were two unknown spirits who secretly claimed to be land gods in surrounding villages.
Naturally, he died in the yamen siege and became Magistrate Zhao's contribution to local governance.
When the ten-year period came, due to the vacancy in the land position, County Magistrate Zhao did not step down from his position as agent until today.
"This person also has a deep foundation in the court. Most of the land in a county is held by Jindan monks, but no one can get the appointment letter."
Zhou Yi waited and watched for a moment, until the thunderstorm dispersed, and a clear and long roar came.
"The poor Taoist Zhao Tai obtained the Golden Elixir today and will give lectures in Linyang County in three months..."
When the words reached the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, there was silence for a moment, and then there was a loud sound. Regardless of whether Zhao Tai could see it or not, they all bowed in the direction of the sound and saluted.
"Congratulations to Mr. Zhao!"
"Master Zhao's immortal path is prosperous!"
"With Mr. Zhao in Linyang County, there will be blue sky..."
Scholars are flattering, but there is nothing to do with monks. Even if Zhouyi lived another 6,500 years, he would still not be able to learn it.
"Bad luck, let's go!"
Zhou Yi shook his head and turned into light and flew back to Wushan.
Zhao Tai was promoted to Jindan, and with the help of his masters in the court, he really became the God of Linyang County in the future.
Return to Wushan.
Before the light fell, I saw the ginseng doll from a distance, communicating with the monks outside the temple gate.
The person who came to build the foundation was at the peak of his cultivation, wearing a helmet and armor, a robe and a girdle, and holding a two-foot-long spear. He looked more like an ordinary general than a monk.
"What are the people from Yuntong Dragon Palace doing in Wushan?"
Zhou Yi occupied Wushan for twelve years, and it was close to the Yuntong River on the east side. Because he had no good impression of Hebo, there was never any communication.
Humans and demons live together in Dongsheng Shenzhou, perhaps because there is sufficient spiritual energy and many spiritual creatures. There is no blood feud between the two races. Many demons worship the human race, and some human race obey the orders of the demon king.
The military commander sensed the pressure of the magic power, looked up and saw the escape light, and quickly bowed and saluted.
"Junior General Yuntonghe River Patrol, on the orders of He Bo, invite the mountain gods to the Dragon Palace for a banquet."
Zhou Yi pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Lead the way."
…
Yuntong River.
Dragon Palace.
Dragons are very luxurious by nature, and all palaces are built with a golden glow.
The general led the way, Zhou Yi's spiritual consciousness swept around, and after a little exploration, he found a loophole in the formation's restriction.
Things in the world are unpredictable, and people's hearts are unpredictable.
If Yuntong Hebo goes crazy, or collaborates with outside monks, he will introduce Zhou Yi into a formation to restrict and kill him, which is also a common occurrence in the world of immortality.
Yuntong Hall.
After the general reported, a burst of hahaha came from him.
I saw a strong man with six feet tall and black hair walking out of the hall. After a hearty laugh, he raised his hands to Zhou Yi and said.
"I have admired the name of the mountain god for a long time, and I finally meet you today, please!"
"please!"
Zhou Yi only heard that Yuntong Hebo was a black dragon, and his father was Jishui Longjun. He just saw his true appearance today. He seemed rough and bold, but he revealed a poor imitation from the inside out.
After living for thousands of years, Zhou Yi knew more people than Yuntong Hebo had ever seen!
The guests are seated.
There are also three monks in the hall, two demons and one, all of whom are in the Golden Core realm.
Yuntong Hebo Aoxuan introduced: "This is Taoist Brother Shenlang of Quanshan Mountain, Taoist Brother Huaihe Hebohu, and Zen Master Hongyun, the host of Jiyun Temple. We are both practicing in Qingyun Mansion, so we should have more exchanges."
Zhou Yi saw them one by one, neither eager nor cold.
The aura of the wolf demon and tiger demon was filthy and turbid, and it was obvious that they often preyed on blood and food.
Zen Master Hongyun's magic power is even more evil. Zhou Yi is quite familiar with it, and he should be from the same sect as Master Hongluo, the locust god.
After getting to know each other, there was a banquet.
After three cups and two cups of spiritual wine were poured into the stomach, the atmosphere gradually became warmer, and the words were no longer hidden.
Zhou Yi guided and inquired without leaving any trace, and learned more about the Daheng Dynasty and Dongsheng Shenzhou. The status of the Jindan monk was not high, but he had also entered the power class.
Either through inheritance or hearsay, the understanding of the imperial court and the mainland is far beyond the ordinary.
"Daheng is actually only second-rate in the Dongsheng Divine Continent. The top sects and dynasties have immortals who have returned to the void. It is even said that there is a method of ascension. It can be called a true immortal sect!"
When Zhou Yi heard about this, he was even more glad to be careful.
If you really rely on your magical power to act recklessly, beating the young and the old, you may have provoked the immortals who live in the world, and you won't be able to escape in time.
The banquet lasted for three or four days, and hundreds of jars of spiritual wine were consumed.
There are many spiritual things in Dongsheng Shenzhou, and Ao Xuan is far richer than the Jindan Demon King of Jiuzhou, so he can eat and drink so freely.
This day.
At noon.
Ao Xuanping retreated the shrimp soldiers and crab generals on the left and right, and the dancing fish girl Beng Ji dispersed, waving his hands to set up a formation to isolate the sound.
"Fellow Taoists, have you heard about the imperial court's plans?"
"Have heard a little bit."
Zen Master Hongyun exposed his breasts and was eating a deer leg while speaking. His mouth was bloody and like a wild beast. He chewed it a few times and said, "The poor monk listened to the master's story and seems to be cruel now. He wants to purge the righteous god from the court!"
Zhou Yi was surprised and said: "How can we eliminate a thousand-year-old disease?"
After several days of communication, we have learned that the Hongyun Master is the White Bone Taoist Lord of Skull Mountain. Just by hearing the name, you can tell that he is an evil heretic.
The so-called thousand-year-old disease refers to the Daheng City God Temple. Unlike the Hebo Mountain God and the like, who change their posts every three to five hundred years, because the City God Yin God practices ghost skills, his life span is long and extended.

The effect of the Wish Power Pearl on Yin Gods is far greater than that of living monks, and even the city gods of some state capitals have been in office since the beginning of the founding of the country.
After two thousand years of righteousness, the emperor could not move!
For example, in the Linyang land case a few years ago, the land and mountain gods died and He Bo was reprimanded by the court. However, the Qingyun Mansion City God who sold the gods was not affected in any way and earned the land god's bribe for nothing!
"For everything in the past, let bygones be bygones, only investigate Yuanding's crimes after eighty-five years."
Zen Master Hongyun said: "Your Majesty recruited monks extensively and established a survey department. In just two years, he killed four third-level righteous gods and twelve lower-level third-level righteous gods!"
"Nowadays, the most important person in the imperial court almost runs away when he hears the word "Department of Survey and Assessment"!
"His Majesty has figured out Zhengshen's thoughts. The so-called forgetfulness of past mistakes, but how many people can actually refrain from making mistakes?"
As Zhou Yi learned more about the Daheng Dynasty and the difficulty of refining the Wish Power Bead, he basically concluded that both the righteous gods and the wild gods had more or less cast evil spells.
It is really too slow to obtain the power of incense through the formal way.
If you create a natural or man-made disaster at will, the income will be comparable to that of the past few decades. Not many righteous gods can bear it.
As for the sparse population caused by frequent natural disasters and the people's weak willpower, the gods don't care at all. Even if you know how to take good care of the people and the population prospers, your incense and will power will also prosper, but few gods can do it.
There are thousands of birds in the forest, it is better to have one bird in hand. The best thing to do is to grab the Wish Power Pearl and break through the realm as soon as possible!
Zhou Yimin spent the past few years sorting out the people of Wushan and rarely inquired about the news outside Linyang County. He then asked: "I heard that the royal family and the sect jointly govern Daheng. How can the sect allow your majesty to do whatever you want? "
Without waiting for Zen Master Hongyun to answer, Ao Xuan said quietly.
"The ancestors of the clan have sent word that Grand Ancestor Daheng may have survived the ninety-nine tribulations of heaven and become a human immortal..."
"hiss!"
The wolf demon and the tiger demon gasped. They had no backing, so how could they know such secrets?
"Human Immortal!"
Zhou Yi thought for a moment, and suddenly understood the purpose of Ao Xuan's banquet, and said: "The Dragon King is worried. After your majesty has eliminated the righteous gods, will you turn to clean up the wild gods?"
"With your Majesty's temperament, this is inevitable."
Ao Xuan said: "No matter how the righteous god harvests faith, at least he can look good on the surface. We, the gods of the mountains and wilds, are free and easy, and we do things wantonly. In the eyes of your majesty, we deserve to be killed!"
Zhou Yi looked worried on the surface, but in fact he had already begun to think about running away and changing the world to take the mountain as his god.
The population near Wushan is sparse, and the incense and aspiration gained from it are thin. It is not a good position, and it is not worth being involved in the changes of the Great Heng Dynasty.
Ye Shen has been rooted in mountains and rivers since the previous dynasties, and has a history far longer than that of the Great Heng Dynasty. Even if His Majesty gets Taizu's support, it's hard to say how much advantage he can take. There will definitely be a battle of wits between the two sides.
Instead of fighting for your life, it is better to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
When the battle between the two sides comes to an end, there will definitely be a shortage of many divine positions in Daheng. Come back and take up positions!
