Meeting again
The reason why Yin Yunze threw three bundles of explosives into the Grandfather Three Temple but failed to blow up the Mad Grandfather Three, allowing him to escape unharmed, is that...
The reason is that at that time, Mad Grandfather Three was in this world-like Daoist Dao Field.
Since they are not in the same plane, ordinary methods naturally cannot harm the gods who are in the Dao Field.
If Yin Yunze hadn't prepared explosives and had simply relied on his skills to destroy the temple of the Land God, it would have been equivalent to using his own strength to break through the double protection of the Power of Incense Offerings and the Earth Vein Power.
To be honest, normally speaking, this is much more difficult than defeating a god in Dao Field.
However, if one enters the temple intending to break through from within, they will be dragged into the Dao Field and suppressed.
It's safe to say that this is indeed the most important home ground for the Incense God; the advantage is too great.
Furthermore, if there are other Servants present, then the enemies one will face after entering the Dao Field will not be limited to just the Land God.
Take Grandfather Huang Three as an example again. Let's not even consider whether he has any followers. Just look at the hundreds of ghosts that Yin Yunze has seen placed in this Dao Field.
Even though his strength is now vastly different from what it used to be, Yin Yunze still found the scene somewhat frightening.
However, fortunes change, and now all the advantages that these gods had within the temple belong to Yin Yunze.
Although the Dao Field was still empty, the Power of Incense Offerings slowly seeping in from the real world filled the entire Dao Field with an atmosphere that made Yin Yunze feel very comfortable.
Fortunately, there was no one around. After thinking for a moment, Yin Yunze revealed his true form.
In an instant, a Nine-Tailed White Fox, over three meters tall, appeared in the deserted Dao Field. Its figure was graceful and its bearing exceptional; among its nine lively tails, one stood out with a particularly lustrous and extraordinary sheen.
Although there were some unexpected incidents and the site benefited from the popularity of Azure Heavens Jade Maiden, the underlying code of the Nine-Tail of Qingqiu Fox is not so easily erased.
This body, born from the Sentient Beings' Power of Faith, naturally also has the form of Nine-Tailed Fox.
Although I've created illusions of Nine-Tailed White Fox many times using Illusion Technique, this is truly the first time I've actually become Nine-Tailed Fox.
He took a step forward out of curiosity, and then Yin Yunze started to struggle with his limbs, almost falling to the ground.
Unlike skills and authority that can be used easily, although they also have instructions, this Nine-Tailed Fox form is so contrary to Yin Yunze's way of acting as a human that it is not so easy for Yin Yunze to master. Well, he's using his claws.
After trying for a while and realizing that taming limbs was quite difficult, Yin Yunze temporarily gave up the attempt.
Unable to move, he decided to stop for now. Lying on the ground, Yin Yunze began to adjust the barrier between the Dao Field and the real temple in his Nine-Tailed Fox form.
Or, to put it more vividly, adjusting the transparency of the Dao Field.
As Yin Yunze continued to adjust the pressure, the once empty temple began to see a steady stream of worshippers and a cacophony of noise.
After thinking for a moment, Yin Yunze blocked out the incoming sound and simply adjusted the transparency.
As the volume was increased, the figures quickly transformed from a hazy blur into semi-transparent human figures.
Finally, it became a completely transparent, one-way glass-like 3D projection.
Yin Yunze could clearly see the actions of the believers in the temple, but the believers were unaware of Yin Yunze's scrutiny.
Even at the thinnest layer, this Dao Field and the actual temple remain two distinct spaces.
Without Yin Yunze's permission, those mortals couldn't even see him, let alone touch Yin Yunze.
On the contrary, Yin Yunze could easily pull ordinary people into this Dao Field if he wanted to.
Just as Yin Yunze was doing, the four of them were quietly pulled from the temple in reality into this Dao Field by Yin Yunze.
Because it was a highly transparent Dao Field, none of the four noticed anything unusual at first.
The sudden silence surprised them.
However, the four of them soon spotted the Nine-Tailed White Fox O lying leisurely at the innermost part of the enclosure.
In this temple with an owner, the identity of this Nine-Tailed White Fox is self-evident.
"Oh, godmother!"
Xu Yue, with her childlike temper, was the most direct. She strode towards Yin Yunze without hesitation. Not afraid at all that Yin Yunze was in his Nine-Tailed Fox form, she buried her entire body in the fluffy Nine-Tailed White Fox without a word.
While rubbing her face against Yin Yunze, Xu Yue couldn't help but exclaim, "Mmm, godmother, you smell so good, you're so soft, you feel so comfortable!"
Damn it! I wish I could rub against Nine-Tailed White Fox like that too!
Yin Yunze muttered a curse under his breath, realizing he hadn't expected to be tricked on his very first day as Nine-Tailed White Fox.
Because the feeling of being rubbed against was too strange, although it wasn't exactly uncomfortable, Yin Yunze still used one of his tails to sweep Xu Yue away from his body.
However, as soon as Yin Yunze swept his tail, Xu Yue changed her target and grabbed onto Yin Yunze's tail. Holding onto Yin Yunze's tail, Xu Yue was pulled back and forth by the tail, laughing happily all the while.
Even when Yin Yunze lifted his tail and flicked it slightly, Xu Yue seemed to stick to it. Not only did she not shake him off, but she also giggled, "So much fun, godmother, a little harder—"
You're not afraid of me at all.
Looking at Xu Yue, who was displaying the behavior of a spoiled child, Yin Yunze felt somewhat helpless.
I'm not an amusement park ride----
"Yue'er! How could you be so rude! Get down here right now!" At this moment, Zuo Xiaoyu also rushed over, pulled Xu Yue off Yin Yunze's tail, and then nodded and greeted, "Sister Yiyun, long time no see!"
"Xiaoyu, it's been a long time."
After acquiring the body of a Nine-Tailed Fox, Yin Yunze's discomfort at being called "sister" or "godmother" lessened considerably. At least when using this body, these titles weren't entirely inappropriate.
After greeting Zuo Xiaoyu, Yin Yunze's gaze swept past Peng Shulan and landed on Xu Hanxian looked reserved.
"Oh, isn't this Magistrate Xu? Aren't you busy with your duties at the county office? What brings you to my dilapidated temple?"
Yin Yunze had initially acted out of kindness, not intending to make money, Xu Hanxian to save the common people. However, he was inexplicably neglected.
Now that he knows Xu Hanxian to apologize, Yin Yunze, while not turning him away, will still offer a few sarcastic remarks to vent his anger.
This is what they call "you ignored me before, now you can't afford to miss me."
After being mocked by Yin Yunze, Xu Hanxian's expression immediately changed.
However, Xu Hanxian quickly regained his composure, a hint of apology on his face. He cupped his hands and said, "Back then, I was blind and didn't recognize you as the Avatar the Lady Qingnü. I have offended the Lady Qingnü! I hope the Lady Qingnü will forgive me—"
"Wait a minute, what Lady Qingnü?"
Yin Yunze was somewhat bewildered when he heard Xu Hanxian call him the Lady Qingnü.
First came the Azure Heavens Jade Maiden, now another Lady Qingnü has arrived, is this some kind of nonsense?
However, Yin Yunze quickly noticed the similarity between the two names.
Whether Yin Yunze was faking it or not, Peng Shulan still quietly interjected with an explanation. "The Lady Qingnü is none other than the Azure Heavens Jade Maiden— "
Looking at Yin Yunze, Xu Hanxian said sincerely, "Lady Qingnü, please don't try to hide it. You possess the ability to bring down frost and snow, and you're also a beautiful woman with white hair—are you really going to say that you have absolutely no connection with Lady Qingnü?!"
So it was you!
Yin Yunze was initially puzzled as to why everyone was suddenly chanting a Yin Yunze title he had never heard of before.
Most of the people who come to Clear Creek Village are poor and destitute.
Even if there were scholars, they certainly wouldn't have the money to buy those kinds of books that recorded stories about the Azure Heavens Jade Maiden.
If it weren't for someone else appearing at just the right time, it's likely that Xu Hanxian was the one who caused this trouble.
"So, it was you who went around telling everyone that I was the Azure Heavens Jade Maiden?!"
Looking at Xu Hanxian, Yin Yunze felt a burning urge to bite him. Why is it that every time he runs into Xu Hanxian, nothing good ever comes of it?
Hmm, let me think about it carefully.
This time, aside from initially surprising Yin Yunze, the outcome turned out to be a good thing.
Although the one that played the biggest role was actually the snow that Yin Yunze had transferred from the real world.
It was only after this snowfall instilled the idea that Yin Yunze might control the snow in the public's mind that the claim of Azure Heavens Jade Maiden was quickly accepted.
Even though there was a snowfall in July, without the title of Azure Heavens Jade Maiden, it might still plant the seed in the hearts of these thousands of believers that Yin Yunze controls frost and snow, thus eventually solidifying the divine office of the God of Frost and Snow.
But this is something that Yin Yunze himself didn't realize at the time, and now, in hindsight, he's acting like he got the benefit but is still complaining.
After all, Yin Yunze had moved rainwater before, but he still didn't have the ability to condense it into clouds and rain.
Often, 99% of your effort is no match for that one crucial opportunity.
