Take yourself to the altar

Chapter 25 [025] Evil Wutong God
The gate of the courtyard was also taken by Lin Hu when he left.

Feng Yu's injuries were not healed, and he was exhausted after a long battle, so he found a place in the courtyard to sit down.The sun was shining, making Feng Yu squint his eyes, and turned slightly to the direct sun.It's been a long time, but in his memory, the disaster of evil spirits and ghosts seems to be just yesterday, and the bright sunshine shone on him, making him feel very comfortable.

Daoist Hongming opened his mouth to talk about Feng Yu's unconsciousness that day, and things he didn't know afterward.

"Cunren, the guardian of the land, is convinced that he is dead, his soul is scattered, and there is no trace left cleanly, and I have confirmed it for my brother." Daoist Hongming said, taking out something and spreading it in front of Feng Yu, "'City God Yin' was also cut in half by you with the divine power of the True Monarch, completely losing its power and authority, and now it has become a rare material for refining weapons."

Feng Yu's eyes fell on the copper seal.

It was a two-inch-square seal, with a sculpture of a beast's head on the top and a square seal on the bottom, engraved with the ancient characters of the status and authority of the City God's Mansion.Now it has been split in two from the center, the incision is as smooth as a mirror, and the incision is faintly showing a copper color, and the god position has been lost.

As Senior Brother Hongming said, it has completely lost the power of the "God Seal" and has become a rare material.

Feng Yu smiled and said: "Senior brother, I don't know any 'refining' method, you can dispose of this thing yourself."

Hongming didn't say much, nodded and put away the two halves of the copper seal, and only replied: "That's fine."

Compared with the copper seal, Feng Yu was more interested in another matter: "Senior brother, did the sword I borrowed with the 'Invite God' that day really reach the power of the 'Golden Core'?"

Daoist Hongming glanced at him, guessed what he was thinking, and reprimanded him coldly: "If you really reach the level of 'Golden Core', you will be smashed into powder and ashes with that sword that day!" Yu was faintly complacent, as a senior brother, Hong Ming had to be wary of his arrogance.

Sure enough, Feng Yu suddenly sobered up after being slapped by Hong Ming.

Then he had doubts again: "But the land Wei Cunren boasted that day, without the power of the 'Golden Core Stage' realm, it would never be possible to break through the barrier of the god seal. And how did you do it?"

Hongming said: "That's because the level of divine power of Zhenjun Dayan is far above that of the City God! The divine light of the 'seal of the gods' is particularly tough against ordinary monks' spells, but it is useless in front of the divine power of Zhenjun. .You went all out resolutely, so you managed to eliminate demons with one sword!"

Feng Yu suddenly thought about it.

From Hongming's words, he thought of another point: "Senior brother, does the divine power of the True Monarch also have such a suppressing and destructive effect on other evil gods?"

Hong Ming first misunderstood his intentions, and frowned and reproached him: "With your superficial cultivation, you almost took your own life with a 'invite the gods'. All right?—uh, wait!"

Hongming reacted, his eyes froze suddenly, and he said in a slow voice: "The words of the younger brother refer to the 'five-power god'?!"

Feng Yu nodded: "The evil god who fell into the devil's way is punished, but the culprit hidden behind the scenes is still at large. If you don't get to the bottom of it, how can you comfort the dead ghost?"

"Junior Brother Feng!"

Feng Yu was stopped by Hongming's seriousness that he had never seen before, and he couldn't help being surprised.

"What's the matter, brother, is there something wrong?"

Hongming breathed out a turbid breath, frowned into the word "mountain", and said earnestly: "The matter of the 'Wutongshen' must be considered in the long term! It is not an existence that can be dealt with by making a small fuss!"

Feng Yu heard something strange and said in surprise: "Brother, does the 'Wutongshen' come from an extraordinary background?"

Daoist Hongming's eyes were condensed, he hesitated for a moment, and sighed: "If you want to know, it's okay to tell you for my brother. The origin of the 'Wutongshen' is extremely mysterious, even us cultivators, when we arrive at Now I can't figure out whether he is an evil god named 'Five Tongs', or there are 'five' evil gods!"

"The belief of the 'Wutong God' sect was very prosperous at one time, and I heard about it as a brother. It spread almost all over the south of the Yangtze River more than 100 years ago. At its peak, every household in the southern commoners worshiped the 'Wutong'. Its incense lingered into clouds and ignited fire. Like a torch!"

"I don't know why later, the 'Wutong God' provoked the gods of the upper realm, attracted the punishment of the gods, and then disappeared without a trace. At that time, Emperor Xuanzong of Dagan came to the throne, and the young Emperor Xuanzong was so talented that he realized that the sect of the 'Wutong' was rampant in the south. Therefore, the emperor announced that the 'Wutong God' is an evil god, and anyone who worships the evil god will be punished for the crime and will not be forgiven. This will severely damage the spread of the 'Wutong Sect', and it will gradually cease."

"It's a pity that the descendants of Emperor Xuanzong are unworthy. About 60 years ago, the emperor at that time listened to the slander and abolished Emperor Xuanzong's imperial decree, which made the "Wutongshen" revive. Those cunning people learned from a hundred years ago. Lesson, no longer Jumping up and down is disgusting, but it sneaks into the dark and develops quietly, and there are still the most religious believers in the rich and prosperous Jiangnan, but few people in Sichuan and Sichuan have heard of it."

Hongming sighed deeply, and continued: "This time the heaven and earth changed, and the immortals and Buddhas retreated. It was originally a sign of troubled times, but now there is a 'five-power god'! Alas, troublesome autumn!"

Feng Yu became more and more curious.

So what is the origin of the "five-power gods", so that even the gods of the upper realm can be resurrected?
"Brother," Feng Yu asked, "Since the 'Wutongshen' is an evil god, why do so many people believe in it despite its name? So what kind of god is it, and what kind of scriptures does it follow?"

Daoist Hongming snorted coldly when he heard the words, and said disdainfully: "There is no scriptural meaning in 'Wutongshen', but it is just an 'evil god of wealth'! It should be noted that the 'good god' is completely different from the 'evil god'. The good god abides by order and treats Ordinary people don't care whether they believe in it or not, but evil gods like "Wutong" are different. If ordinary people provoke the "Wutong God"'s malice, they will immediately send down divine punishment, causing people to lose money, lose their homes, and become impoverished. Out of fear, even if you don't believe it, you have to stand on the throne and offer incense."

"As for those who are eager for quick success and greedy for money," Hong Ming shook his head and said with a sneer, "the 'Wu Tong Shen' is quite effective, and everything is allowed. It's just that 'Wu Tong' is obscene, and likes to play with women the most." Anyone who wants something must offer his wife and daughter to him. However, the final facts have proved that even if there are such inhumane villains who fall into the hands of the 'Wutong God', the ending will be ruined and miserable!"

Feng Yu frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help but said, "Wutongshen is so evil, so no one will punish him?"

Hongming said with a serious face: "How to punish? Anyone who asks for something, offering confession is voluntary. As for the final disastrous end, it is mostly due to lack of greed and inability to bear the price!"

Xu Shi was troubled when he mentioned this matter, Taoist Master Hongming walked a few steps in the courtyard, looked out of the courtyard wall, and sighed with some helplessness: "It has been more than two hundred years since the Great Peace, Jiangnan is even more prosperous. In the land of gold, people at that time valued the benefits of wealth and yearned for luxury, even if someone saw the end of enshrining the 'Wutong God', they would inevitably fall into the abyss because of the temptation of wealth and wealth!"

"Hmm~"

Feng Yu pondered, first took care of Li Hongming's words, and then said, "Senior brother, the 'Wutong God' secretly tricked the God of Fortune to steal the authority of the City God Yin God. I am afraid it is not just as simple as corrupting people's hearts and satisfying selfish desires. The plot goes far!"

Hong Ming praised him, and said: "Brother Wei also thought so, so after the decisive battle in the Yin Division that day, Brother Wei helped you stabilize your injuries, and after chasing down the remaining ghosts, he went to the City God's Temple in Yudu Prefecture. It's a pity that the other party Be very cautious, whether it is the City God Temple on Earth or the City God Hall of the Underworld, I have not been able to find any clues for my brother, it is a pity!"

"As for dealing with the 'Wutong God'," Hong Ming felt a little helpless, "Just as Brother Wei said, we must think long-term! The 'Wutong God Sect' has been developing in secret for so many years, and its strength has already recovered. The gods collect demons from all over the world to protect the teachings, and there are rumors that there are six or seven big demons of the "Golden Core" alone, which is comparable to the ordinary cultivation sect, not to mention there is an extremely mysterious "Five-Ability God"!"

Hongming turned around and persuaded: "Mingyue Mountain's power alone cannot accomplish this. We must first investigate the real evidence of the 'Wutongshen' conspiracy, and then invite colleagues from all walks of life to gather the strength of various sects and sects. After the preparations, we can use thunderous means to eradicate them in one fell swoop!"

Feng Yu nodded, frowning and stopped talking.

He knew that Senior Brother Hongming was worried that he would be young and aggressive, would provoke the other party rashly and bring danger, and would also startle the enemy.Feng Yu understood his senior brother's painstaking efforts, so he would be cautious, but he didn't expect that the "Wutong God" behind Wei Cunren had such power, and he couldn't be easily touched, so he was a little depressed for a while.

After sitting for a while, Feng Yu slowly figured it out.

It's useless to be depressed here, since you can't move the giant "Wutongshen" for the time being, it's better to do the things in front of you first.For example, improving one's cultivation level, such as spreading teachings, no matter how bad it is, you have to heal your own injuries before talking about it?

Immediately calmed down and stood up.

"Brother," Feng Yu said, "I don't know how Shiyan Village is doing now?"

Seeing that he had figured it out, Hongming heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "If you want to know, why don't you go and see for yourself?"

Feng Yu glanced outside the courtyard wall and asked in surprise, "Are we still in the village?"

Hong Ming nodded: "This house is the village chief, Gu An, who is looking for a retreat for you." Feng Yu smiled: "It's him." He still remembered Gu An, who was a little more slippery and wise than ordinary villagers. Unexpectedly, the other party was the village head of Shiyan Village.

"Then go out for a walk."

Then he opened the door and walked out of the courtyard.

Lin Hu was waiting not far away. The topic Feng Yu and Hong Ming talked about just now was a secret, and it was inconvenient for him to know, so he was not allowed to participate.Seeing Feng Yu and Hong Ming going out, he rushed to greet them, and then followed behind.

The house where Feng Yu rested was located in the innermost part of the village, and there was a green bamboo forest outside the house, so he couldn't see the familiar village.Walking out of the bamboo forest, the eyes suddenly open up, and the well-arranged houses of the familiar village come into view.In the distance is the flat river beach field, where villagers are working. Outside the field is the green Shiyan River, which is as green as a jade belt. The river is clear and flows leisurely.

Go to the village.

The village workshop, which was empty when I first entered the village, is now full of popularity.When the villagers met Feng Yu and the three of them, they all greeted them respectfully.Some naughty children were playing and laughing in the village, and a few gray-haired dogs were whimpering and chasing someone's rooster.

Feng Yu noticed that the fronts of some houses were still plain.

Many people in the village died in the haunting of ghosts. Half a month's time cannot heal the grief, but the living still need to muster up the courage to move on.Feng Yu could feel the revived vitality.Walking in such a leisurely way, I passed the sunba and walked to the temple without knowing it.

Feng Yu remained calm on the face, but was shocked in his heart, and walked into the temple first.

The courtyard that was destroyed that day has been leveled again, but the broken incense burner cannot be restored for the time being.At this time, the main hall door of the temple was opened, and looking through the door, there was a statue that Feng Yu was very familiar with enshrined on the altar—Dayan Fumo Zhenjun!
He suddenly realized that the follow-up incense came from here!

But this place originally enshrined the land god who fell into the devil's way, how did the brother explain it?

Feng Yu turned around and looked at Daoist Hongming.

Daoist Hongming understood what he was thinking at a glance, and said: "Wei Cunren has committed a heinous crime for concealing the truth for my brother, but my brother doesn't want to continue this fear and hatred, so he only thinks that his merits and virtues are perfect, and he has already entered reincarnation. Reincarnated, you will enjoy the wealth and honor for the rest of your life. Layman Gu wants to repay our kindness for helping you, and make your own proposal for my brother, so that he can change the Earth Temple into the Temple of the True Monarch!"

Feng Yu was a little surprised.

Although Hongming is a monk of the "Sect of Enshrining the Gods", he has no duty to spread the teachings for Zhenjun Dayan. Why did he do this?
Hong Ming smiled warmly and said: "Brother, don't tell me, as a brother, you know that there is nothing in the world without a price! ——The true king cares so much for you, you have to shoulder the responsibility of spreading the true king's name. Alas~, the way to be a brother lies in seclusion in the world, but your way to be a junior brother lies in experience in the world. Don't worry, being a brother will not hinder you, and will even help you!"

Feng Yu's heart felt hot when he heard the words, so it turned out to be because of himself?
Although the reason was wrong, Feng Yu benefited from it, and was also touched: "Thank you, brother, for fulfilling it!"

Hongming stroked his beard and smiled, and looked at the mighty statue of Zhenjun on the altar: "But before that, you have to go back to Mingyue Mountain with your brother, and you haven't finished the ceremony of apprenticeship!"
