Strange: I have a small dream world

Chapter 382: The City God and the Ancestral Hall, the Spirit-Draining Sacrifice, and the Dragon Spirit of National Destiny

Through investigation, Lu Yu discovered that in the dream world, there seemed to be not only the Qing Dynasty, but also the Ming Dynasty, the force behind Zhenshan City.

Although in the real world, both the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are historical dynasties that have collapsed.

But it is obvious that in the dream world, neither the Qing Dynasty nor the Ming Dynasty was destroyed.

As for whether there are other historical countries, Lu Yu is not sure yet.

It was precisely with the support of the Ming Dynasty that this group of anti-Qing rebels in Zhenshan City could develop to such a scale.

It is also because of this that although Zhenshan City has become like a country, it has never thought about founding a country.

Even the Ministry of Household Affairs, Ministry of War, etc. of the people's livelihood and military affairs have changed their names and are called Ministry of Civil Affairs, Ministry of Military Affairs, etc.

Including official appointments, they are all very different from those in the Ming Dynasty. Either the names have been changed, or they are directly followed.

As night fell, Zhenshan City, which was noisy during the day, quickly quieted down, and a white lantern was lit in front of every house.

The pale lights swayed, and a strange power emitted, instantly affecting the courtyard houses, blocking out the breath of life inside.

Lu Yu stood in the shadow of an intersection, slightly raising his head and looking ahead.

As the yin in heaven and earth rises and the yang falls, as everyone falls into deep sleep, the yang energy of life subsides, etc., the negative yin energy between heaven and earth becomes more active.

The mental fluctuations of everyone emitted spiritual thoughts. In addition to part of them flowing into ancestral halls, city gods and other places, they also began to merge with the negative Yin energy between heaven and earth.

Some twisted and weird spiritual wills began to emerge from it, the rules of heaven and earth were disturbed by them, and some rule information was integrated into them.

Gradually, one after another was born strangely.

As time goes by, more and more Weirds are born, and Weirds' strength is also increasing rapidly.

From the initial F level, it climbed all the way to C level and B level.

They wandered back and forth in the streets, wandering aimlessly, occasionally stopping in front of some people's houses, looking at the courtyard doors shrouded in pale white lights, hesitating for a while before leaving.

However, as the time approached midnight, those strange powers increased again and again, and their perception capabilities further enhanced. They could already vaguely sense that there seemed to be the power of life and blood in the house.

This makes those weird people, although they still hate the pale light emitted by the white lanterns, have begun to get ready to move.

At the end of the day, Weird finally couldn't stand it anymore and began to ignore the pale light emitted by the white lantern and broke into the courtyard.

But the next moment, the ancestral halls in the courtyards immediately bloomed with a faint yellow light, suddenly covering the courtyard, suppressing the weirdness, and there was a repulsive force, trying to repel the weirdness.

Even some weak and strange ones fell into silence, and even showed faint signs of collapse.

Of course, for those powerful weirdos, this only makes them feel more uncomfortable and their strength is suppressed to a certain extent.

Although some weirdos did leave the courtyard in disgust, there were also weirdos who slowly entered the house against the force.

The next moment, strange fluctuations broke out, and different strange rules confronted each other.

In the dream world, even the most ordinary ordinary people have certain rules and powers.

When facing strange intrusions, one naturally has a certain degree of resistance, at least able to resist it for a short period of time.

To a certain extent, life in the dream world can be regarded as strange.

It's just that human beings have wisdom and their bodies have certain material properties, and they can also breed spiritual thoughts, provide incense and will power for the gods, and give birth to strange things.

However, the power of rules controlled by ordinary people is basically some weak rules such as human blood and spirit.

And because they have a special physique, they are half-matter and half-energy beings. To say they are weird is not completely weird, and to say they are human is not fully human either.

Therefore, both the upper limit of growth and the amount of mental power that can be generated are extremely limited.

Therefore, if they do not obtain enough resources and skills, it will be difficult for them to grow up, and they will only be able to reach B level in their lifetime.

In this way, faced with the weirdness breaking into the house, most people can barely resist it, and then they will be killed by the weirdness.

As time goes by, slowly, more and more houses begin to be shrouded in a faint yellow light.

As for those high-ranking households and large families, the yellow light is even richer, and there are even a few rays of golden light faintly transmitted through them.

There is almost nothing strange about them, and they are willing to get close to these high-ranking families.

Those who entered previously have been suppressed and obliterated.

Involuntarily, more strange things began to break into civilian homes.

There are also more and more powerful and strange things that begin to approach and break into the bedrooms of houses.

As he watched, more and more human beings died at the hands of those strange people.

But at this moment, an invisible divine light invisible to ordinary people suddenly rose in the direction of the Town God's Temple in Zhenshan City, sweeping across Zhenshan City for hundreds of miles in an instant.

"Om~!"

The rules circulated, shaking the world, and many strange things in Zhenshan City were suppressed in an instant.

Especially some weak and weird ones below the B level, the rules were broken in an instant, and the new weird consciousness was wiped out.

Even the more powerful B-level weirdos were completely suppressed and almost fell into silence.

However, there are also many strange things, and he can still move reluctantly.

They are already close to the B+ level limit and are about to break through to A level.

It even turned into a pseudo-realm, barely resisting the influence of the City God's divine power.

"Tap Tap"

As the city god's divine power enveloped Zhenshan City, footsteps began to sound in the silent streets.

Teams of anti-terrorist personnel began to rush around the city.

When encountering something strange, they would take out a golden bag, activate it with the power within their bodies, and collect the suppressed strange things into it.

They don't look like squelching spooks, but more like garbage collectors.

Only when you encounter those powerful and strange ones who can still move and wander even if they are suppressed by the City God's divine power, will wars break out one after another.

This is true for the main town, Mountain City, and similar things are happening in other small towns and even villages.

It's just that the towns are the city gods, and the villages are just the gods of the land and mountains.

Regardless of whether it is a city god, a land, or an ancestral temple, it is essentially an application of the will power of all living beings.The power of the incense and the will to gather all living beings to worship. After the surrounding Yin Qi and strange power reach a certain level, these gathered power of the incense and the will will be transformed into a kind of guardian power to suppress all evil spirits and ghosts.

As for whether Chenghuang's land or ancestors really exist.
They may have existed at the beginning, but as time went by and the power of incense was infected and assimilated, they have long since become the gods and ancestors who carry the power of incense in the recognition of all living beings.

Without its own cognition and consciousness, it will only release divine power, feedback power, etc. according to the power of incense and the operation of rules.

One night passed, many strange things were suppressed, and the city returned to hustle and bustle.

As for some people who died by strange hands, it was an ordinary thing and did not attract too much attention.

In this strange dream world, it is completely normal for a few people to die at night.

In the next few days, Lu Yu's paper-cut incarnation wandered around Zhenshan City and its surroundings, continuing to inquire about news.

On the other side, the paper-cutting figures following the Qing army have also arrived in a city.

Although the size of this city is far less than that of Zhenshan City, it still has a radius of several miles. In ancient times, it was already considered a large city.

Compared to the heavily searched Zhenshan City, this place is much more relaxed.

But yes, this is a city in a big country. Compared with a mountain town like a terrorist organization, it is naturally much more grand, and there is no need to pay attention and check carefully.

Just after entering the city, Lu Yu felt an awkward and depressing feeling.

The same crowds of people are buzzing, the noise is endless, the crowds are coming and going, and it is a bustling scene.

However, Lu Yu always felt uncomfortable.

The rat braids are swung behind their backs. People always have a sad and tired look on their faces. They always look cautious when they speak, and their eyes are dull and dull, without any agility. .

Occasionally, some rich young men and government soldiers would pass by arrogantly, causing commotion and chaos.

Depression, dullness, sleepiness, and numbness.

It was as if a thousand pounds of weight were pressing down on him, and invisible shackles were binding his hands and feet. Everything was lifeless and lifeless.

In comparison, the rebels in Zhenshan City were more energetic.

Standing in a corner, the blood-red eyebrows on Lu Yu's paper-cut face had wrinkled into a small dot.

Logically speaking, even if the Qing Dynasty was decadent and implemented a high-pressure and obscurantist policy, hundreds of years have passed, coupled with a powerful army, etc., the national spirit should not be like this.

Why do you still look so dull and numb now?

Even the rebels and terrorist organizations under the mountains are inferior.

As time went by and gradually came to evening, people began to leave the city and return home one after another.

When those people who left the city came to the city gate, they were immediately led to a shrine, where they worshiped before being allowed to leave.

And those who live in the city must also take out the shrines issued by the government and perform devout prayers and sacrifices when they return home.

When he saw this, Lu Yu finally understood why the citizens of the Qing Dynasty, who were supposed to be very powerful, seemed so dull and numb.

Lu Yu's eyes were filled with strange power, sweeping across the city in an instant.

He found that all the shrines looked like a blood-red coiled snake.

It is exactly the same as the bloody snake painted on the military formation flag held by the previous Qing military camp officer.

It doesn't matter. There is actually no essential difference between offering sacrifices to the ancestors, the City God, and offering sacrifices to other beings.

However, with the sacrifices made by everyone, a small amount of faith was also generated.

In an instant, the blood snake statue on the shrine used that trace of faith as a medium and opportunity to instantly arouse the spirit in people's minds, and began to continuously absorb people's spiritual power.

After everyone worshiped, their spirits immediately became empty and hazy, but under the stimulation of the shrine's divine power, they temporarily transformed into a state of emptiness and excitement.

On the surface, it seems as if he has been blessed by the gods.

Only after they return home will they fall into a state of extreme fatigue, almost clinging to the bed.

When he saw this, Lu Yu felt a hint of anger in his heart.

If this situation is only temporary, it would be okay, but if it lasts for a long time, it would not be surprising if people appear dull and numb.

It may even damage people's intelligence, making them mentally ignorant, slow to react, etc.

What's more, due to the special reasons of life in the dream world, this situation may also affect future generations.

After all, even if the beings in the dream world originally migrated from the real world, after hundreds of years of living and multiplying, they have adapted to the rules of the dream world.

To a certain extent, they can be regarded as a kind of special weird life that is half energy and half material.

Changes at the spiritual level will inevitably cause changes in physical energy and functions, which will then affect the next generation.

If this continues from generation to generation, I am afraid that human beings, who claim to be the leader of all spirits, will really degenerate into hairless monkeys.

This is no longer ordinary slavery, this is simply to plunge mankind into the endless abyss of eternal destruction.

I just don’t know if this is the case in this city or if it is the case in all places in the Qing Dynasty.

Lu Yu transformed into a paper-cut man and traveled around the city, searching for information about the Qing Dynasty and this world.

Several times, Lu Yu almost couldn't help but take action.

Unexpectedly, the previous sacrifice was not over yet.

To be honest, after hundreds of years of development, the Qing Dynasty's use of the will power of all living beings is still very high.

The army has military formation flags, and the government offices also have official seals. Above the city, there is a special brilliant power that envelopes the city, connected to the military camps, city walls, government offices, and officers.

It is even more connected to the people of the territory, and the wishes of all living beings merge into it, making it become even more massive.

To ward off evil spirits and exorcise evil spirits, suppress strange things.
Moreover, that brilliant power will also turn into a special force field, covering those in official positions. When the people at the bottom see them, they will feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.

The official authority was embodied at this time and turned into a real force that existed.

When Lu Yu used his eyes to observe deeply, he was able to find that the power was still connected to a place in the distance, and it was continuously gathering power there.

Based on its characteristics, Lu Yu thinks it can be called the dragon energy of national luck.

Moreover, with this dragon aura of national destiny, the spiritual will of the people of the territory will be continuously integrated into it. Naturally, the scope covered by the dragon aura of national destiny will lose the foundation and soil for the birth of weirdness.
