And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 180 The order has long been disrupted

Chen Yuan didn't pay too much attention to the escape of the Lightning Ghost King.

He turned his attention to the remaining ghosts and gods in the City God's Temple, and the White Lotus Taoist priests.

"Shangxian, whatever the Lord City God did was done with his own will and has nothing to do with us."

The God of Day and Night who just brought Chen Yuan back to the City God's Temple was not killed in the disaster just now. On the contrary, General Shackles disappeared. I don't know if he was affected and fell or escaped. The God of Night among the Gods of Day and Night looked at Chen with pleading eyes. deep.

They had known that Chen Yuan was such a evil star, and there was nothing they could do to bring Chen Yuan back.

Now, even their boss, the City God, died in the hands of Chen Yuan.

"Forget it, the culprit has been eliminated. Regardless of whether you are a culprit or not, I will let you go this time. You go first to capture the ghosts who escaped from the underworld and maintain the order between yin and yang."

Chen Yuan thought for a while.

For these ghosts and ghosts, we cannot simply kill them all.

If Jianghuai City was completely without them, the life and death order of the entire Jianghuai City would be in chaos.

"Of course there is no problem. Although the City God of Jianghuai City was killed by the Immortal, the underworld has collapsed, and the ghosts have no place to go for the time being, it is completely possible to capture these ghosts again and bring them to the City Gods in surrounding cities and counties to disperse them. Detention.”

"It won't be long before Jianghuai City will be able to restore order soon."

Riyoushen looked at Chen Yuan with a somewhat fearful expression.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you."

Chen Yuan nodded.

Chen Yuan was not surprised by this, because in fact, the system of ghosts and gods is similar to that of the human court. When a place is temporarily without parental officials for some reasons.

If the people in this county have money disputes with each other and need to file a lawsuit, they can transfer it to the next county.

Moreover, not every city in Dayong has a city god.

It's just that Jianghuai City is the capital city of Chuzhou. It has a large population and a large number of ghosts in the underworld. If you want to eliminate the impact of this incident, you may need to disperse to several surrounding cities and counties.

"As for you..."

Chen Yuan looked to the side, where there were more than a dozen white lotus priests wearing white robes, and he felt a little tangled in his heart.

These Taoist White Lotus were different from Taoist He Kui. He did not see each other doing evil, and among the dozen or so White Lotus Taoists, there were inevitably no good people. If he was asked to directly get rid of them, he would really be reluctant to do so.

"What is your relationship with Taoist Hekui? Why are you hiding in the City God's Temple?"

Chen Yuan asked a group of more than a dozen White Lotus Taoists, and he decided to find out the identities and origins of these White Lotus Taoists before making any plans.

"Lord He Kui is our leader. The reason why we live in the City God's Temple is because the leader is planning to wait until the conspiracy with the King of Nanxiang is completed. Then we will cooperate inside and outside the city and unite with the elite army secretly cultivated by the King of Nanxiang outside the city to seize control of Jianghuai City in one fell swoop. .”

Seeing Chen Yuan's terrifying strength, who seemed to be an immortal on earth, when asked about this matter, the group of White Lotus Taoists did not dare to hide it. One of them, one White Lotus Taoist, stood up and explained to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan understood instantly!
The King of Nanxiang and Taoist He Kui from Bailian Road got involved and were planning to rebel!
And these Taoist Bailian were Taoist Hekui's back-up men who stayed in Jianghuai City.

Although there are only a dozen White Lotus Taoists in front of you, the effect of these dozen White Lotus Taoists is comparable to thousands of elite troops.

Since ancient times, religion has been the most capable of deceiving people.

Especially for cults like White Lotus, once they take effect, they can start a prairie fire.

As for why these White Lotus Taoists did not stay in the Nanxiang Prince's Mansion, they were hiding in the City God's Temple.

There are two possibilities.

One is that the King of Nanxiang and Taoist Hekui were on guard against each other. The two did not completely trust each other, so Taoist Hekui placed these Taoist Bailian in the City God's Temple.

The other is that Taoist Hekui not only has a cooperative relationship with the King of Nanxiang, but also cooperates with the Jianghuai City God, with unknown purposes.

But his arrival just disrupted the plans of the King of Nanxiang, Taoist Hekui, and the City God of Jianghuai.

"Forget it. Since you are planning to rebel against the imperial court, Pindao is too lazy to take action. Go to the government and surrender yourself. The government will judge you for your crimes."

Chen Yuan thought for a while and made a decision on how to deal with these White Lotus Taoists.

After hearing Chen Yuan's words, these White Lotus Taoists suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Good now, no need to die!

They would rather go to the government and surrender than face Chen Yuan.

After all, they had just seen with their own eyes that the young Taoist who was suspected of being an immortal beheaded a city god, the City God, with a single blow with a terrifying iron sword.

After arranging everything and watching these White Lotus Taoists go to the government office, Chen Yuan Yuanshen flew away from the City God's Temple with the rusty sword.

When Chen Yuanshen returned to Qingyang Temple, the sky was almost dawn, and a flash of fish-belly white appeared on the eastern horizon.

And Jianghuai City, where many things happened last night, also ushered in a new day.

When the people of Jianghuai City woke up from their sleep and took to the streets again, they found that something big had happened in Jianghuai City.

First of all, in Jianghuai City, there are many more soldiers wearing armor and carrying weapons, walking on the streets of the city, strictly checking the outsiders who have come to Jianghuai City in recent times.

It is said that the reason for the strict investigation is that the King of Nanxiang was assassinated last night, and the murderer has not yet been found.

There are rumors that the murderer of King Nanxiang was not an ordinary person, but an immortal with magical powers.

When King Nanxiang died, not even his body was left behind, but was burned to ashes.

"Deserved!"

"Just because he was a prince, he often kidnapped his wife and entered the prince's palace for sexual pleasure. Finally, even God couldn't stand it anymore and sent an immortal to get rid of this scourge."

"That's right, the woman who is targeted by the other party is really in bad luck."

"And you can't resist. If you resist, the whole family will die. On the contrary, there are some families who voluntarily send their wives to the palace. While the family is fine, they can also get a large sum of money, and the wife will be sent back one day."

"So what if we are sent back? In front of relatives and friends, the family will never be able to hold their head high for the rest of their lives!"

"So what if you can't lift your head, it's better than losing your life, right?"

As for the King of Nanxiang, the common people are all aware of what he does, but due to the power of the other party, they usually dare not offend him at all, and few people dare to spread his affairs privately, for fear of being retaliated by the King of Nanxiang.

Regarding the unexpected death of King Nanxiang, many people secretly applauded and even set off firecrackers and blasted gongs and drums in the streets.

However, this was just one of the big things that happened last night, and what made the people even more happy was that.

The city god of Jianghuai City seemed to have had an accident last night and was beheaded by a passing immortal!

The statue of the City God enshrined in the main hall of the City God's Temple collapsed and burned together with the main hall, turning into ruins.

The statues of the City God enshrined in some people's homes were also blown up last night, leaving only a handful of broken soil.No matter from which aspect you look at it, it shows that this City God may be in trouble.

As for the Jianghuai City God, he died unexpectedly overnight. Some of the people in Jianghuai City were sad, but most were happy.

What is sad is that the dignitaries and wealthy families in Jianghuai City are very sad, because the city god of Jianghuai City is extremely friendly to the rich and powerful.

As long as the servants at home can all believe in the City God and donate some money to the City God, they can respond to all requests.

For ordinary people, those who have worshiped at the City God's Temple will not be able to fulfill their wishes. If they do not believe in the Jianghuai City God, the other party will even ask for disasters in their dreams. Only by believing in him devoutly will the disasters recede.

This also made most of the people in Jianghuai fear and fear this City God, and there was also a trace of hidden hatred.

In the hearts of the people of Jianghuai City, this City God is not a good god.

But an evil god.

The people of Jianghuai City were very grateful to the immortal who removed Jianghuai City God.

I just don’t know if the immortal who got rid of the Jianghuai City God and the master who got rid of the Nanxiang King and was hunted down by soldiers throughout the city are the same person.

But most people think this is the same person.

Otherwise, why would these two things happen on the same night?
……

It was just dawn.

Changchun Taoist, the master of Qingyang Temple, came to visit Chen Yuan at his residence.

When Chen Yuan invited him into the room, he learned from Chen Yuan that another thing that happened last night was also related to Chen Yuan.

Changchun Taoist sighed: "Taoist Master, you have eliminated a harm to the people of Jianghuai City!"

Chen Yuan said: "Why did the temple master say this?"

Changchun Taoist said: "The Taoist Master is unaware that for the people of Jianghuai City, this Jianghuai City God is ridiculously harmful, especially more than the fifteenth prince."

Changchun Taoist continued:
"Since the fifteenth prince died last night, I can have some words to say to the Taoist priest. I think the Taoist priest should know something about what the fifteenth prince did in Jianghuai City."

"The fifteen princes only harm a hundred households, but the Jianghuai City God's duty is to take charge of everything in the afterlife after death, but he harms hundreds of thousands of people in this place."

"God is originally a clay body, and it is the soul of a person who is enthroned as a god after death. If the person holding the priesthood is honest and upright during his lifetime, then he is a good god, and the city will be governed in an orderly manner, and the people will truly believe in it. Admiration from the bottom of my heart.”

"If a person who holds a priesthood was a corrupt official during his lifetime, when he becomes a god, the harm will be extremely great. It will be ten times greater than when he was an official."

"Because for ordinary people, even life and death, which are originally fair, will be affected by power. In order to obtain the power of incense and wishes, they even threaten people to believe in themselves. This becomes an evil god, and people only have superficial faith in him. In addition, Fear of hate.”

"This is the case with this Jianghuai City God. For the sake of incense, he will do whatever it takes to threaten the people and bring disaster."

"That's why demons and ghosts are prevalent in Jianghuai City."

"Because the City God didn't spend his time on governance at all."

After hearing this, Chen Yuan frowned deeply.

The words of Changchun Taoist Master of Qingyang Temple also solved a doubt in Chen Yuan's mind.

This Jianghuai City God has only been a City God for more than a hundred years, so why has the power of incense and incense accumulated by him is far inferior to that of the Lujiang City God, Jia Shedao, who has been a City God for hundreds of years.

It turns out that the Jianghuai City God will threaten the people in the city to believe in him, otherwise he will bring disasters. This is no different from an evil god.

The reason why people believe in gods is because of certain desires and obsessions in their hearts. These desires and obsessions are actually the power of incense and incense. Only with the power of incense and will can the gods come into being.

This Jianghuai City God forced the people to believe in him, which actually violated the laws of the existence of gods and acted like an evil god.

"The people of Jianghuai City, haven't you ever thought about smashing up the temple of Jianghuai City God, destroying his statue, and getting rid of this evil god?"

Chen Yuan asked Changchun Taoist.

Once a god loses the faith of the people, he is nothing more than a clay body that can be pushed out by two or three strong men.

"What the Taoist Master doesn't know is that before he became the City God of Jianghuai City, he was a corrupt official who worked in Jianghuai City. I don't know why he became the City God of Jianghuai City after his death."

"Therefore, his methods are extremely clever. He first won over the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Jianghuai City. The two parties reached an exchange of interests and satisfied some of the wishes of the high-ranking officials and dignitaries. The only condition was to let these high-ranking officials and dignitaries assist him and let the ordinary people of Jianghuai City Everyone believes in him.”

"In this way, ordinary people will be arrested and punished even if they intend to knock down temple statues."

"It was precisely through the use of high-ranking officials that the Jianghuai City God quickly rose to prominence in Jianghuai City within a hundred years."

Changchun Taoist explained with a complex expression.

"This Jianghuai City God has extremely high methods."

Chen Yuan sighed.

Chen Yuan was keenly aware of the power of Jianghuai City God's methods. In this way, the people of Jianghuai City were divided.

From another perspective, although he, as a god, is used by mortals such as high-ranking officials and dignitaries, these high-ranking officials and dignitaries must in turn protect him in order to protect their own interests.

In this way, the Jianghuai City God and the dignitaries in the city completed the binding of interests.

In more than a hundred years, the accumulation of incense and wish power surpassed that of Jia Shedao, who had become a god for hundreds of years, by a large margin.

"Guanzhu, why didn't you tell Pindao these things before?"

After thinking about this, Chen Yuan looked serious and asked the Changchun Taoist in front of him.

"The reason why I didn't tell the Taoist Master about these two things before is that the old Taoist didn't know that the Taoist Master's cultivation and abilities were so advanced."

"In addition, the misbehavior of these fifteen princes is tacitly approved by the imperial court. Since experiencing the "Two Princes' Rebellion", the imperial court has been much more cautious about the princes in various fiefdoms."

"As long as they don't rebel and do things that endanger the people on their own land, as long as they don't go too far and provoke civil unrest, the court will not pursue them."

"Even if ordinary people complain to the yamen, the local yamen will favor the prince. Apart from sending people to the door to warn the prince, they will not take any other action. On the contrary, the people who complain will be retaliated against, so this kind of thing happens to them. The people can only admit that they are unlucky, and no one dares to complain to the officials."

"And the reason why I didn't tell the Taoist about the Jianghuai City God is because in the world today, there are gods like the Jianghuai City God, like the crucian carp crossing the river, and not just this one. Can the Taoist take care of it?"

Chen Yuan was stunned when he heard this, looked at Changchun Taoist and said: "Master, what do you mean?"

"Taoist Priest, the world has become chaotic. Not only has the order in the Yang world been disrupted, but the order in the underworld has also been disrupted."

"When Taizu founded the country, people like Jianghuai Chenghuang would never be able to become gods after death."

"Even if you become a god, if someone reports on you, you will be sentenced by the court to worship a wild god in obscenity, and your temple will be destroyed and your statue will be smashed."

A trace of fascination flashed in the Changchun Taoist's eyes, as if he was thinking about the grand scene of the founding of Dayong and the peak of national power.
