Chapter 267 River God (Congratulations to the Leader of Zixuan Xianzun!)

Jinze Mansion is located by Jinting Lake, with 100,000 households and 500,000 people.

Although the mountains and rivers are broken and there is not much arable land, but relying on Jinting Lake, they can barely make a living, even more than the above, and more than the next.

There are five counties in the prefecture, which are famous for their rice and raw silk specialties.

Of course, there are also a lot of sacrifices, and all kinds of spirits and monsters often mess around and eat people, but Jinting Lake is still under development. Those who are pregnant can only blame them for their bad lives.

But compared to other places, this life is not bad, so the number of household registrations has multiplied, and the number has not decreased but increased.

Seeing this, a great Confucian once lamented—"Despotic government is stronger than monsters"!

However, decades have passed, and they still do what they should, without any change.

Xu Ren was released from one of the five counties, the magistrate of Heize County.

In the official system of the Great Chu, there is a county magistrate in a county, who is the head of a hundred miles, is the seventh rank, and there is a county magistrate, the eighth rank, who is the deputy of the county magistrate. In fact, he is a reserve.

Under the county seat, there are county lieutenants, chief bookkeepers, six divisions and Cao officials, etc., who are in charge of everything. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. When it is enlarged, it is roughly the same structure in the mansion and even the imperial court. nothing more.

When Xu Ren arrived in Heize County, he had to pay homage to the county magistrate first, then hand over to his predecessor, entertain his colleagues, and choose an auspicious day to take office. It was really complicated.

Even Mrs. Xu Wan'er had to drag her pregnancy to work.

But all of this had nothing to do with Fang Yuan and the two demons.

Given their current situation, it would be scary to go there.

At this time, in the backyard of the Xu family, in a small pond, Fang Yuan was lying among the water plants, lazily raising his head.

As night fell, the front yard was brightly lit, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras could be heard. It was Xu Ren who was entertaining his colleagues all night long.

"Humanity is a bit incredible!"

Fang Yuan mobilized his demonic power silently, opened his spiritual eyes, and the way he looked at the front yard suddenly changed.

In his field of vision, the luck in front of him soared into the sky, and the brilliance was so brilliant that it seemed awe-inspiring and inviolable.

"Especially Xu Ren, who didn't think much of it before, but after taking over as the county magistrate, he also became more angry...Of course, if I really want to kill, I can still kill him, but the consequences and even the accumulation of divine punishment are really a bit serious. It's frightening..."

"Humanism gathers people, and it has its own luck, but this comes with the official position, like duckweed without roots, unlike our strength, it penetrates deep into the bone marrow, as long as one breath is still there, the luck will not disperse!"

In the pool, a golden red carp poked its head out, and Li Luan's voice came out.

"That's true!"

Fang Yuan was naturally clear about the difference, and could not help but nod upon hearing this.

"Fellow Daoist Li Luan is planning to rest here?"

He looked at the golden red carp and asked curiously.

"Well... this house has auspicious aura, which is suitable for my cultivation!"

Li Luan's voice was very firm. In fact, she also wanted to take shelter of Xu Ren's strength.

Fang Yuan saw through it at a glance, but didn't say much, just smiled and climbed out of the courtyard.

It was the middle of the night at this time, his snake body was completely black, and he was extremely powerful, moving like the wind, it was difficult for ordinary people to notice.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, I took a stroll around the county. The first feeling is that it is very popular, and the second feeling is that there are many temples! There are too many!

What kind of water shrines, general temples, lake god sacrifices, etc., emerge in endlessly, dazzling.

Taking a closer look, you can see that there are many evil spirits. Although there are also righteous gods with pure heart and good fortune, but more of them have a trace of blood, obviously they are also the ones who often enjoy blood sacrifices.

"Monsters harm people, and harvest incense and belief with awe, it has reached this level!"

Fang Yuan sighed faintly: "Even the government is controlled by him, and they have to be rewarded with titles. It's really sad..."

Of course, there is permanence in the way of heaven, what is planted today will surely bear fruit tomorrow.

These gods enjoy humane worship, and when they are slaughtered in the future, they may have to stand up to pay off their debts.

However, because it is following the trend, it is not miserable.

At least, Fang Yuan can guess that with so many people's merits and virtues compensated, their catastrophe should be easier to survive. This will lead to the strength of the Conferred God Sect, which will also be a variable among the Yaozu in the future.

No matter how vicious the god is, if more people believe in it, it will gradually change its image and become the one that conforms to the public's psychology.

This is the way of coercion by wish power. In Fang Yuan's memory, it is more common among western gods.

"In this world of Shinto, it seems that the magistrate can be granted a title. Generally, the county magistrate will submit a letter, and the mansion will not refuse... Then Xu Ren, he said before that he would build a temple for me to repay the great favor, or he would be called 'Wu' How about Dragon General Temple?"

While thinking wildly, he fell into a small river.

Plop!

As soon as I entered the water, a feeling of comfort flooded my whole body.

Even though he has transformed into a snake, his body still retains many carp habits, and at this time he is really like a fish in water.

"good!"

After a little bit of luck, Fang Yuan felt a large amount of water spirit energy rushing in. The speed was unbelievable, and he couldn't help being overjoyed: "It seems that after jumping over the dragon gate, there are indeed many benefits. With such a speed of accumulation of spirit energy, and the dragon ball in his body, But you don’t have to go out to hunt blood every day!”

To complete the Nine Changes Dragon Jue requires an extremely large amount of resources.

In the past, Fang Yuan had no choice but to supplement the quality with quantity, hunted and killed fish wantonly, devoured and digested them, and replenished his vitality.

But after gaining a little bit of dragon nature, he could directly capture the essence of the sun and the moon, the mysteries of the heavens and the earth, collect the aura from the lake, and supplement it with dragon balls, so naturally there was no requirement for blood food.

‘I’ve completed the bloody primitive accumulation of capital, right? '

In Fang Yuan's mind, a strange thought suddenly emerged: "In the future, I will start to pretend, the Qi eater is immortal, but in essence he is still a thief, the great thief of the sky! The thief of the great way!"

No matter how the eating process is upgraded, it still cannot escape the essence of plundering.

According to Taoism, there are five thieves in the sky, and those who see them will prosper! ! !

At the bottom of the water, he was so fast that he turned into a black arrow, crossed the small river in an instant, came to a river, drifted with the current, and merged into Jinting Lake.

Boom!

As soon as he entered the lake, Fang Yuan felt that the spirit energy that was more mellow than before rushed in, almost intoxicating.

"Okay, okay! This is just an ordinary lake with such spiritual energy. What if we find a good spiritual vein and open up a cave?"

Fang Yuan's practice has evolved from the stage of eating blood to the stage of capturing the vitality of the world.

At this time, the choice of practice location is not based on where there is a lot of food, but whether there is enough spiritual energy.

"Even if you have already seen through the world trend and the general trend, if you don't have a certain strength, how can you participate in it?"

He patrolled around, avoiding the aura that made his heart palpitate, and found several water veins and spiritual veins, but he was speechless: "The slightly better spiritual veins have long been occupied. Even spirits have instincts. A legacy from the sea?"

If it is said that it is not impossible to seize a place, but the proportion must be grasped.

After all, he is an outsider, so he can't provoke the anger of the public and be attacked by the crowd.

"Fortunately, I have already cultivated the Black Snake Transformation. Otherwise, I would still be wearing the body of a black carp. If it is so high-profile, the lake will be full of aquatic animals the next day!"

Fang Yuan thought for a while, but didn't act rashly, and turned back to Heize County.

"See you benefactor!"

At this time, Xu Ren had just finished the banquet, and he was still reeking of alcohol.

But when he saw Fang Yuan in black, he immediately sobered up from all the wine, bowed and saluted with a very humble gesture.

"This Jinting Lake is really nice, I want to live forever!"

Fang Yuan opened his mouth and said something that made Xu Renchang heave a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that this snake demon would crucify his family.

"It's just...you owe me a temple, how are you going to solve it?"

Fang Yuan asked again.

"It... will take some time to get through the joints, especially the venue, which is not easy to allocate!"

Xu Ren had a look of embarrassment on his face, he was telling the truth.

This matter has to go through the county magistrate, submit official documents to the magistrate, and it will take time to go back and forth.

Of course, the most critical issue is the venue.

There are so many sacrifices in the city, and the incense has been filled, how can outsiders be allowed to come to share the spoils?

"Haha... This matter is very easy. Let me ask you, among the many water gods, are there any who are cruel, violent, fond of blood, and greedy? If so, how will your political achievements be fulfilled?"

Fang Yuan laughed out loud.

"So, thank you benefactor!"

When Xu Ren heard this, joy appeared on his face.

...

Half a month later, Heizihe.

"Water God wants to take blood food, a pair of boys and girls, send it quickly!"

In front of the river ditch, a witch was yelling, with oil paint on her face, threatening the villagers loudly.

"Obviously, I have already contributed twice this year..."

"Hey, who made it greedy, it can be considered that our Heihegou has caught up..."

"It's just a pity that Yang Wa and Yu Wa..."

...

The villagers sighed one after another, but they still didn't dare to resist.

Even Li Zheng could only sigh.

"It's time!"

Seeing this, the witch became more and more proud. She felt that this year she could extort more money from the village for offerings, so she couldn't help but work harder: "Put the offerings into the ditch!"

"Wait!"

At this moment, a soft shout came.

Several yamen servants opened the way, Xu Ren was wearing an official robe, suddenly a bit more majestic and upright: "Hold on!"

"It turns out to be the county magistrate, and I pay my respects to the magistrate!"

Rizheng next to him looked at it and hurriedly saluted.

Although the county magistrate is only a deputy and doesn't usually take care of things, he is an eighth grade after all, and he, a person without official status, can't be neglected.

With him taking the lead, the people also knelt down one after another.

"So it's the county magistrate?"

The witch laughed strangely: "This Heizihe Water God is also titled. Could it be that the Lord wants to prevent the Water God from enjoying the sacrifices? Then when the old man gets angry, I can't control him!"

"No!"

Seeing this kind of monster, Xu Ren's eyes flashed with anger, and then turned soft, and said with a smile: "It's just that these boys and girls are too skinny, so they are not beautiful. Please go down first, tell the water god, and wait for me. I found a better one, and I will sacrifice it another day!"

Speaking of this, there was a trace of evil spirit on his face: "Come on, please let the sorceress into the water!"
