"Mingcha?"
Jin Yangzi's voice was cold, and he looked Magistrate Zhao up and down, as if he was wondering where to strike.
The monk from the Inspectorate Department is responsible for arresting the evil god. He has seen too much of what Heretical Devil has done, and his character will inevitably be affected by it.
"I can kill you now, or let you go!"
"Sir, a few days ago I came to Beijing to pay a visit to my mentor..."
Zhao Tai The topic changed. He dared to show up at this time, so he had something to rely on. "I learned that His Majesty is very dissatisfied with Daheng Immortal God, and intends to restart the capital inspection and the big plan, and test every ten years to eliminate theocracy!"
"Jingcha!"
Jin Yangzi narrowed his eyes slightly, the awe-inspiring murderous intention dissipated instantly, and his voice was like spring breeze and rain.
"Left Censor's name has spread throughout Kyoto. Since he is his disciple, he will not collude with Linyang Land. I searched the soul and learned that Linyang Land was coerced by your family and had to compromise without sharing the spoils!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand and put Wish Power Pearl into his cuffs.
"Thank you, sir."
Magistrate Zhao was immediately relieved. Land God had been wreaking havoc on Linyang County for five years. The local officials did not report it to the court, and they were already suspected of dereliction of duty and collusion.
What Jin Yangzi said is the best solution. At most, it will be condemned by the court, but it will not be punished.
Jin Yangzi asked, "Tell me about the Jingcha and the big plan, what is the specific process?"
The Beijing inspection system is to evaluate officials in the capital, while the main plan is to evaluate local, state and county officials. These two systems were established by Great Heng Grandfather. At that time, countless Orthodox God officials failed the evaluation, ranging from resignation to Execution Platform at worst.
As Daheng was established for a long time, several unreliable emperors appeared in the middle, and the assessment system gradually relaxed until it was completely abandoned a thousand years ago.
"According to my mentor, His Majesty intends to build a new Investigation and Verification Bureau to be responsible for surveying and checking officials."
Magistrate Zhao said, "This department has spared the six cabinet ministries and is directly responsible to His Majesty. It has the power to arrest and torture Orthodox God officials who have found out their crimes!"
Jin Yangzi said quietly, "No wonder people say that today's people are mean and unkind and suspicious by nature. Now that Investigation and Verification Bureau is built, won't it directly put the pressure on my head?"
Magistrate Zhao was hunched over, sweating profusely and not daring to raise his head, Mana was blocked from listening to the five senses.
After a while.
When he looked up again, the hall was empty, and Jin Yangzi had disappeared.
Magistrate Zhao turned around and left, and was about to go back to the Yamen when he met Master Huang, a temple blessing.
"Caomin Huang San'er, pay your respects to Master Qingtian!"
Huang San'er knelt down on the ground, kowtowed three times, and said, "That evil god wantonly poisoned the people for the sake of incense. In order to expose his true face, I endured the humiliation and performed the temple blessing."
"..."
Magistrate Zhao raised his eyebrows. The words sounded familiar, and he pondered for a moment and asked.
"Since you endure the humiliation, can you collect evidence?"
"Of course."
Huang San'er said, "The common people have been undercover for decades and gained the trust of the evil god. They are responsible for managing the incense money in the temple. They have accumulated tens of thousands of taels."
"I have always been fair and strict, Qingfeng."
Magistrate Zhao stood up and said solemnly, "Don't think about bribing me with gold and silver. These incense money are all the hard-earned money of the people of Linyang!"
Gold, silver and jewelry are not something that can be appreciated by Foundation Establishment monks. Any spiritual object can be sold for thousands of taels of silver. Certain rare elixirs are no longer available.
Huang San'er In order to survive, he scratched his head and recalled, "A few years ago, I accidentally heard the evil god talking to the mountain god. It seemed that there was some treasure buried in a cave somewhere in Wushan."
"There are even stolen goods!"
Magistrate Zhao was immediately moved. The two Golden Core True Lord left behind must be a great opportunity for monk Foundation Establishment, so he asked quickly.
"Think carefully, where is the stolen property buried?"
Huang San'er asked, "Sir, what about my crime..."
"What crime?"
Magistrate Zhao said, "The person in charge has proven that I have made a false compromise with that evil god, and Mr. Huang is my subordinate, and he will not hesitate to put himself at risk to go undercover Land God Temple."
"Not only is he not guilty, he is actually meritorious! The government warehouse is short of a manager, and you will be the one to take over from now on."
"Thank you, Mr. Qingtian!"
Huang San'er was immediately overjoyed. The warehouse manager was a good job, and he could make a fortune just by grabbing some oil and water.
Yuanding seventy-six years.
Linyang County The land incident happened and the head of the Supervision Department killed him on the spot.
The county magistrate posted notices everywhere, blaming Land God for all the disasters and murders committed by Linyang County in recent years.
The county government's backlog of cases was all sorted out at once.
The former Master Huang, now Treasurer Huang, wears official yamen uniform and stands under the notice to preach the evil deeds of Land God.
In just a few months.
Linyang County Land God fell from being worshiped by all people to being beaten and beaten by everyone. All the Land God Temple built in counties and villages were demolished into ruins, and there is no longer any Incense and Fire Prayer Power.
Half a year later.
The imperial court issued a commendation and praised Linyang County for sticking to the bottom line and not collaborating with the evil god.
At the same time, Magistrate Zhao, with the realm of Foundation Establishment, temporarily holds the position of Linyang Land for a period of ten years.
The court's intention is obvious. Due to Linyang's evil deeds, it will be difficult to obtain Incense and Fire Prayer Power in a short time, and other Jindan monks are unwilling to come here to clean up the mess.
Ten years later, the people will have almost forgotten the past and will be able to move to new lands.
If Magistrate Zhao is promoted to Jindan in ten years, he will be directly transferred to the official Land God, which is also a ninth-grade official position. Switching from an official to Orthodox God is a big step forward!
Half a year later.
Wushan.
After the rain.
The mountains are hazy and the birds are singing Jiujiu.
Zhou Yi was walking in the deep forest and saw a temple on the mountainside.
Only half of the wall was left with mud and broken tiles. Half of the statues of gods were lying upside down under the wall, which was already covered with moss.
"Everything in the world is unpredictable. Mountain God Temple, which was very popular last year, now only has a few broken walls."
Zhou Yi waved his hand and took a picture of the statue from the rubble. He could barely tell that it was a tiger-headed man wearing armor. It was Mount Wu God.
A demon king in the golden elixir stage has occupied the position of mountain god for more than a hundred years.
Last year Jin Yangzi investigated the Linyang land case and killed the mountain god by the way. Since Orthodox God was not canonized by the imperial court, it was similar to killing a demon, and was not mentioned in the county government announcement.
The gods of mountains and rivers should be killed in the eyes of the imperial court!
Cloudreach River Lord, who is also a wild god, did not receive any punishment, not even a verbal reprimand.
"With a good background, it will work anywhere!"
Zhou Yi knows without investigation that Cloudreach River Lord has Nascent Soul Dragon Lord as its backer, and Dragon Lord has a more powerful dragon clan to protect him.
The Dragon Clan is the most protective of the calf, and crimes committed by members of the same clan will never be punished by the Human Clan.
"Occupy Wushan, first concentrate on cultivation, and slowly get in touch with fellow practitioners. Once we understand Eastern Divine Continent clearly, we must find a backer, otherwise we may be cleared by others!"
Zhou Yi In recent years, I have already found out clearly what His Majesty has done since he ascended the throne.
Emperor Yuanding has been in charge of Daheng for more than seventy years, killing more Orthodox God than in the past two hundred years, and his reputation for coldness and ruthlessness is known to the world.
According to this person's temperament, Daheng will be turned upside down in the next hundred and twenty years.
"Either Yuanding will be revived, or Daheng will collapse!"
In the eyes of Zhou Yi, Daheng, a city with a history of 2,500 years, has chronic diseases that have penetrated deep into its bones.
The reason why it does not collapse is because the imperial court is controlled by the Spirit Transformation monks, and the people at the bottom are unable to resist. However, the thoughts of hundreds of millions of living beings will have cause and effect.
When Daheng replaced the previous dynasty, Grand Ancestor broke through Spirit Transformation and rose up, and Yunhejing followed.
According to folklore, Great Heng Grandfather is still alive today. He made a rule to change the emperor every two hundred years. After that, he went into seclusion and cultivated, focusing on Ascension to Immortality!
Go to the top of Wushan Mountain.
Zhou Yi's eyes shone brightly as he observed the direction of the mountains and quickly found the place where Feng Shui and weather conditions converged.
The escape light falls.
There are also Mountain God Temple ruins here. The area is much larger than those in other areas. It should be the place where the former mountain god practiced cultivation.
With a wave of his hand, the ground rumbled and the ruins were buried underground.
Wall after wall rose from the ground, and in a moment, a new Mountain God Temple was built.
It covers an area of more than a hundred feet and can be accessed from the front and back.
There is a plaque of "God of Wushan" hanging on the vermilion door. When you push the door, you can see the statue of the mountain god in the main hall, wearing a navy blue robe, holding a sword in one hand and a talisman in the other. His face is 70% similar to Zhou Yi.
Behind is Zhou Yi's practice place, which is divided into rooms for receiving guests, alchemy, retreat, and Qi refining.
The whole thing looks like a Daoist temple, except that the statue of the immortal in the temple is none other than Zhou Yi himself.
"With the name of a mountain god in vain and no one offering incense to worship, it will be difficult to gather Wish Power Pearl!"
Zhou Yi soared into the sky, and Divine Sense swept across a radius of hundreds of miles. There were a few scattered villages, and there were also hunters who lived in the mountains all year round. Most of them were believers of the mountain god.
Divine Sense Observed for a moment, there were no people who could guide him.
"First repair other small temples. According to Red Luo's Cultivation Notes, build more temples. Not only will it be convenient for the believers to worship, but the people passing by will also come into the temple to burn incense."
In a world where immortal gods are manifested, mortals know that immortal gods really exist, and naturally develop the habit of burning incense in temples.
Whether it's useful or not, it's always right to worship God. If it's a small-minded god who sees you not burning incense, he might cast a spell to bring you bad luck.
This kind of worship from passers-by is Incense and Fire Prayer Power rare, but it is also an act of adding up a small amount!
Several days.
There are dozens of new Mountain God Temple in Wushan, and there is basically one within twenty or thirty miles.
Zhou Yi used the method of dream entrustment to inform the people living in Wushan about the name and image of the new mountain god.
The general idea is: The Mountain God has been replaced, don't worship the wrong one!
Perhaps it was because Zhou Yi had a human form, which was far more friendly than the monster with a tiger head and a human body, so the people did not resist and directly changed the tiger-headed statues enshrined in their homes.
"Or maybe the people don't believe in the mountain god, but the mountain god!"
Zhou Yi shook his head, occupying the seat of the God of Wushan and not planning to change it in the short term.
No matter who people believe in now, hundreds or thousands of years later, the god they believe in must be Zhou Yi. Moreover, the long life span makes Zhou Yi not eager for quick success and quick success, but will take the right path to gather incense.
"There are three right paths: protecting the people, teaching the Dharma, and praying!"
Protecting the people means treating diseases and relieving disasters, and gaining the heartfelt support and respect of the people, but it is quite cumbersome to do.
Not all the people under treatment will be sick, nor will they all get sick at the same time. The road to treatment requires waiting for opportunities and traveling around. The same goes for disaster relief. Apart from creating disasters on our own, we will never encounter a natural disaster in ten or twenty years.
Teaching the Dharma is to spread the Daoism. The monks and spirits who step into the Dao Path worship the Incense and Fire Prayer Power far beyond ordinary people.
Praying means that the people under the rule offer incense and pray, and the gods cast spells to fulfill the people's wishes.
Zhou Yi thought about it carefully, and then compared it with the less than tens of thousands of people near Wushan, and suddenly understood.
"No wonder the land of the mountain gods has gone astray. These three righteous paths gather the power of will and earn hard-earned incense money!"
"Busy, busy, condense a few Wish Power Pearl, it is not enough to delay the practice time. Fortunately, the poor Daoist has infinite life span, it takes thousands of years to cross the sea, just condense Wish Power Pearl slowly!"
Zhou Yi occupies the throne of Wushan and has no plans to move in the short term.
The first thing is to gather Wish Power Pearl together, and the second is to make friends from all over the world and get to know Eastern Divine Continent Cultivation World.
One month later.
The people in Shannan went to the mountains to hunt, and when they encountered a blind bear, they were about to die at sight.
Suddenly, a huge boulder rolled down from the mountain and knocked Black Bear unconscious. Orion faintly heard a majestic voice. "Bold evil beast, how dare you harm people in the realm of this god!"
The hunter thanked the mountain god again and again, and worshiped the mountain god day and night when he returned home. He told everyone he met that the mountain god was miraculous.
This matter was naturally controlled by Zhou Yi. Using Incense Condensation Art, it was discovered that the Incense and Fire Prayer Power contributed by Orion was more than ten times richer than before.
If there are levels of believers, they will probably transform from general believers to believers!
"Boundless Celestial Worthy!"
Zhou Yi Silently recited the Qingxin Dharma, suppressing the thought in his mind of casting a spell to cause accidents, and then manifesting his spirit to save people.
"What is the difference between obtaining Incense and Fire Prayer Power from this and Linyang land? Many gods started from small evils, and as their greed grew, they turned into evil spirits step by step!"
One year later.
The God of Wushan gained dozens of followers.
Among them was an old man surnamed Chen. He was grateful to the mountain god for sending his son, and extended the Lineage incense to become the Mountain God Temple blessing.
Two years.
The number of believers grew to a thousand.
Five years.
It snowed heavily for three days and three nights in winter, blocking the inside and outside of Wushan, and the people lacked food and clothing.
The mountain god appeared and used the art of spring breeze to turn into rain, melting ice and snow. A snow disaster turned into auspicious snow that nourished the fields.
After the disaster, the people near Wushan became believers of the mountain god.
Flowers bloom and fall, clouds roll and relax.
Ten years passed by in a flash.
This day.
The sun is high.
It is the busy farming season in midsummer.
A ray of light fell at the foot of Wushan Mountain and turned into a young man in his twenties.
He has a face like a crown jade, a tall and straight figure, wearing a bright yellow Daoist robe, with a three-inch sword mark embroidered on his chest.
"Eleven years and I'm back!"
The young man was none other than Lin Heng. He went to Beijing to file a complaint and became a disciple of Spirit Transformation Heavenly Lord's Sect. He finally passed Lesser Heavenly Tribulation a few days ago and received permission from his master to travel down the mountain.
The first stop is Wushan.
Lin Heng took out the golden bell from Storage Bag and shook it gently to make a tinkling sound.
Waited for a long time, no response.
"Isn't Xiaoqing on the mountain?"
Lin Heng furrowed his brows and rang the golden bell all the way up the mountain, only to find no trace of him anywhere in Wushan.
During this period, I saw a few spirits and asked about the snake demon and Xiaoqing. They all shook their heads and said they didn't know, and directed Lin Heng to ask Mountain God Temple.
Fly to Mountain God Temple.
Lin Heng fell to escape the light, and before knocking on the door, a Daoist boy walked out.
"Master Shan Shen already knows the Daoist friend's intention to come, but he is in seclusion and cultivating, so it is inconvenient to receive him."
Spirit Ginseng Child raised his hand and said, "The former mountain god was involved in the Linyang land case and died at the hands of the Supervisory Department. His subordinates died and scattered. I don't know where the green snake went."
"Thank you, fellow Daoist."
Lin Heng couldn't help but feel disappointed. After ten years of anticipation, it ended up like this.
Fortunately, Dao's heart was as strong as iron, so he didn't use his escape method, turned around and walked slowly down the mountain.
Suddenly I looked back.
The Daoist boy under the mountain god's seat was still standing at the door, with his long black hair disheveled and his navy blue Daoist robe blowing in the wind. Lin Heng was inexplicably moved, and the more he looked at him, the more gentle and amiable he became.
"Boundless Celestial Worthy!"
"How can a poor Daoist have such an idea? It's really scary. It's better to go back to the master's door to practice in seclusion!"
Lin Heng recited the Qingxin Dharma repeatedly and turned into light and fled hastily.
