Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

"Xuanqing Temple?"

Outside Jinhua County, a wealthy man looked at the solemn and majestic temple in front of him and the prosperous incense inside. He couldn't help but step in and respectfully lit a few incense sticks.

Xuanqing Temple is a temple that has suddenly become popular in Jinhua County and several surrounding counties in recent days.

There are many gods enshrined there, the most powerful of whom is the god who subdued the mud dragon and suppressed it here.

And that deity is not the main deity in this Xuanqing Temple. The main deity worshipped is a deity named Fatian Xiangyu. It is said that this Fatian Xiangyu has the great supernatural power to pluck stars and grab the moon.

The Lord of Rescue who suppressed the mud dragon was the one sent by this great god to save the people of Jinhua County from disaster.

When the rich man walked to the front of the main hall, he saw the plaque with the words "The Mystery of Taoism". As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw the towering statue standing solemnly in the majestic and solemn hall.

The statue is about ten feet tall, standing on an incense table, overlooking the world. It wears a five-colored crown on its head and a six-row black feather robe on its body. It holds a precious mirror in one hand and a black bead in the other. It is truly majestic and awe-inspiring, which makes people feel awe at first sight.

When the rich man saw the statue, he was shocked. It seemed that the deity could see everything about his past clearly.

This made the rich man sweat profusely, and he quickly burned incense and offered sacrifices: "I, Wang Cai, worship the God of Fatian Xiangyu."

After finishing burning incense, Wang Cai finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if some mysterious power had descended upon him, making him feel lighter both physically and mentally, as if all his illnesses had been eliminated, and he felt his whole body was unobstructed.

This made Wang Cai even more excited. He bowed again and again and then left the main hall.

There were really too many people burning incense and offering sacrifices in the Xuanqing Temple. Even though Wang Cai had some wealth, he could not waste other people's time, so he simply left the main hall and looked around the other halls.

Wang Cai looked around and saw two side halls outside the main hall, in which the God of Comprehension and Rescue and the God of Resolving Difficulties were enshrined respectively. Each had a plaque hanging on it, reading "The Righteous Law of Heaven and Earth" and "Five Thunders, Sun and Moon".

The God of Combat and Rescue wears a green crown and a black robe, holding a thunder sword in one hand and making hand gestures with the other. Under the God's feet, there is a ferocious dragon.

Wang Cai knew at a glance that this god who came to save people from suffering was the god who subdued the mud dragon.

So Wang Cai hurriedly burned incense and worshipped again.

Now, not only Jinhua County, but the entire Lingyou Province and even the entire Yu Dynasty, or the entire Shanhai Realm is not peaceful.

Various disasters emerge one after another, evil spirits and monsters increase in number, people's lives are difficult and monks are powerless, otherwise why would everyone come to worship ghosts and gods?
After coming out of the Temple of the God of Combat, Wang Cai went to the Temple of the God of Transformation.

This deity is not well-known, but his position is in the right hall, below the deity Fatian Xiangyu and the deity Xunsheng Jiuku. He should not be underestimated. With the idea that he was already here, Wang Cai went to pay his respects to the deity and then left Xuanqing Temple.

Behind Xuanqing Temple, under a huge banyan tree, Jiang Sheng was playing chess with Gao Yan.

The Lord of Hearing Out the Cry and Rescuing the Suffering is naturally the name of Jiang Sheng's own avatar. His real body will not devote himself to the ways of ghosts and gods. The power of incense gathered this time will be refined into an incense elixir, which will be used to enhance the strength of his avatar.

The solution to the difficulty of transformation of the God is naturally the statue given to Gao Yanli.

"All the fox gods and ghosts in Jinhua County, big and small, have been won over by the immortal."

Gao Yan looked at the other statues enshrined in Xuanqing Temple and couldn't help but sigh.

It was the first time that Gao Yan met an immortal god like Jiang Sheng who didn't care about the power of incense, and it was also the first time that he saw an immortal god like Jiang Sheng who was so generous.

He will give incense and faith as soon as he says so, and he will definitely do what he promises. If you follow such a deity, your future will definitely be good.

Jiang Sheng casually wrote a word and said calmly: "If you want to do great things, you can't be stingy with these things."

"Brother Gao, if you want to live a long and healthy life, you need to give up something in order to gain something."

"In Jinhua County, we are the only one with incense offerings from Xuanqing Temple. This is not enough. We should look around."

Gao Yan's mind trembled: "Shangxian, the city gods of a county all have family foundations, they will not be willing to give up their own incense power."

Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "It's okay. Let's talk first. If they are willing to join my Xuanqing Temple, everything will be fine. But if they are not willing to join my Xuanqing Temple, I don't mind taking action to wipe out their incense."

The spiritual energy in the Mountain and Sea Realm is thin, the will of Heaven does not exist, and the limit that human beings can reach is the Nascent Soul Realm. Ghosts and gods are stronger than the underworld and it is difficult for them to enter the human world. Even if they enter the human world, given the current situation of the Mountain and Sea Realm, ghosts and gods cannot exert their full strength.

Not to mention that ghosts and gods who have abandoned their physical bodies and only have their souls left are already weak, but Jiang Sheng is Taiyi Zhenjun who has been sublimated from both his physical body and soul.

If those ghosts and gods really came to the human world, Jiang Sheng could simply send his true body down to suppress them with force, or use the magic treasure of Xiangyu Xianjun to severely injure them.

These were taken into consideration when Jiang Sheng and Xiang Yu Xianjun were discussing the fight for the luck of the Mountain and Sea Realm. Jiang Sheng obtained a lot of starlight energy from the wild beasts, which was enough for them to use.

Seeing Jiang Sheng so confident, Gao Yan thought about the God Fatian Xiangyu in the main hall, then nodded, indicating that he would take care of the matter.

After Gao Yan left, Jiang Sheng stood up slowly and looked at the big banyan tree with lush branches and leaves.

The big banyan tree grew overnight. Its bark and roots are twisted and tangled, like a dragon, and it does not look like an ordinary creature.

And what was suppressed under this big banyan tree was none other than the true spirit of the mud dragon.

The mud dragon was formed by the filth and siltation of heaven and earth in the mountains and seas. How could it be so easy to kill it?

Jiang Sheng used the Thunder Sword to cut off the dragon horns and claws of the mud dragon, dug out its flesh and blood, and finally suppressed it here.

It’s not that Jiang Sheng really can’t kill the mud dragon, but Jiang Sheng feels that the mud dragon is still useful. He wants to use the mud dragon to study why the filth in the mountain and sea world has accumulated to this point, and think of a way to relieve it.

Jiang Sheng couldn't completely solve the problem of the calamity and pollution in the world, but he still had some confidence to relieve it temporarily.

"I know you're not dead, and I also know you have grievances."

"But don't worry, once I figure it out, I will send you to reincarnation."

"If you want to break free, I won't stop you, but by then, it won't be as simple as suppressing you here."

Jiang Sheng spoke softly, and the lush branches and crown of the banyan tree began to sway, as if unwilling, and as if rising and falling.

The news that Jinhua County's incense was unified soon spread to several neighboring counties.

Every county has its own aristocratic families, and every county has its own ghosts and gods.

Faced with the sudden unification of Jinhua County's incense-burning Xuanqing Temple and its aggressive invasion of surrounding counties, the ghosts and gods in various counties were naturally dissatisfied.

They are not ordinary people who are powerless, they are pure ghosts and gods, ghosts and gods who were conferred by the imperial court by Yuanying Zhenjun and condensed from incense and spiritual energy, and can also be called ghost gods. The most powerful among these ghosts and gods is the law-breaking god.

The true name of the God of Lawlessness is unknown. All we know is that he is the incarnation of the monk from the Wang family, the prefect of Lingyouzhou. He personally sits in Duqing County, a key node of Lingyouzhou. Although he is not as powerful as the real ghosts and gods in the underworld who are nourished by the spiritual energy of the Yellow Spring, the power of the God of Lawlessness is obvious to all.

In the past, there were evil spirits wreaking havoc in Duqing County. This lawless god transformed himself into a ghost and suppressed dozens of evil spirits, turning them all into his own ghost subordinates.

How many ghosts and gods in the counties of Lingyouzhou can achieve such strength?
Cross Qing County and violate the law to respect the temple.

The temple is magnificent and grand. The statues of gods are plated with gold, and the pillars in the hall are also covered with gold. The temple is very popular, with sticks of incense burning in incense burners. The power of the incense spreads and rises, and then is swallowed up one by one by the huge ghost god floating above the temple.

Duqing County is one of the largest counties in Lingyou Prefecture, with a population of nearly one million. Such a densely populated county is naturally prosperous, and has the manpower and resources to build such a magnificent temple.

In the main hall of the temple, people from Duqing County came here to worship endlessly. And under the main hall of the temple, in a secret room, the lawless god was meeting secretly with the magistrate of Duqing County.

A low and hoarse voice came from the tablet of the law-breaking god: "Now the Xuanqing Temple in Jinhua County has begun to compete with me for incense offerings. What do you think?"

It would have been better if Duqing County Magistrate hadn't listened. After hearing it, he couldn't help but ask back: "Are you asking me now? We had a good plan at the beginning, why did you let the mud dragon come out in advance?"

"We agreed that we will wait until Gao Bo's convoy enters Jinhua County and then release the mud dragon. By then, destroying Jinhua County will also cause damage to several other counties. The Gao family and other families will be implicated. This Lingyouzhou will still be our Wang family's Lingyouzhou."

"You were lucky. You activated the mud dragon in advance. As a result, Jinhua County was not destroyed, and Gao Bo was not killed. Instead, he gained a lot of fame."

The law-breaking god snorted coldly: "What do you know?"

"We ghosts and gods value both incense and karma. We can strike at the Gao family, but the family won't bear the cost of implicating more than 200,000 people in Jinhua County. In the end, I will have to bear the cost!"

"I had planned this well. When the mud dragon appeared, it would just happen to affect Gao Bo. Who could have thought that their convoy would be late?"

The Duqing County Magistrate sneered and said, "Cause and effect?"

"If karma works, how come there are so many ghosts and gods in the family?"

"If karma is useful, where do my Wang family get so many Netherworld Gods?"

"If you don't have hundreds of thousands of untouchables kneeling at your feet, what kind of law-breaking god are you?"

The law-breaking god was about to get angry when he heard this, but in the end he sighed and said, "Forget it, why should I argue with you about this?"

The tone of the Duqing County Magistrate also softened: "Gao Bai wants Xuanqing Temple to have incense in Duqing County. I will stop this."

"You and the ghosts and gods from other counties should think about it and first contain the Xuanqing Temple in Jinhua County. It would be best if you could find a way to destroy that god."

The law-breaking god said, "I have already prepared for this. Didn't his Xuanqing Temple say that a god would come to earth to subdue the mud dragon?"

"Counting the days, Huang Quan will be restless again. When the time comes, I will communicate with the underground and let Huang Quan erupt in Jinhua County. By then, all the ghosts will be released and evil spirits will be everywhere. If Xuanqing Temple cannot stop them, don't blame me for helping."

After hearing the words of the law-breaking god, Duqing County Magistrate's pupils shrank: "Is Huangquan going to be restless again?"

The Yellow Springs is in turmoil; this is the greatest disaster in the human world of the Mountains and Seas.

When the Yellow Springs moves, it is often accompanied by a large number of mud dragons, earth dragons turning over, and countless dirty yellow mud and evil spirits covering the human world, polluting ghosts and gods, and breeding evil spirits.
This is not just an area covering a few counties. Once the Yellow Spring becomes restless, it will easily cover continents and counties, affecting the lives of hundreds of millions of people. No matter whether it is cultivators or ghosts and gods, no one can escape!
Although the Duqing County Magistrate is a county lord and the Marquis of Duqing County, he is also a foundation-building cultivator of the Wang family.

But once the disaster of the underworld comes, even if he is a Jindan Zhenren, a Yuanying Zhenjun, or a Lord of Lingyouzhou, it will be of no avail, he will still die!

He thought he was cruel enough, but Du Qing County Magistrate did not expect that the God of Injustice was even more cruel than him!
Seeing that the Duqing County Magistrate looked strange, the Law-breaking God said irritably, "You don't think I can trigger the Yellow Springs disaster, do you?"

"The last time the mud dragon moved, it was because the Jinhua Mountain was already filled with yellow mud, and we just went with the flow."

"This disaster of Huangquan is beyond our ability to prevent!"

"The news has been passed down. There is too much muddy evil energy accumulated in the Yellow Spring. In order to purify the netherworld, this muddy evil energy must be released, otherwise the Yellow Spring spiritual energy will turn into the Yellow Spring evil energy."

"This is not a decision made by our Wang family alone, but an order issued by the Ghost Emperor himself. We cannot stop it, so we can only go with the flow."

The disaster of Huangquan is a secret to ordinary people and those independent cultivators. Even ordinary ghosts and gods in the countryside cannot understand the reason.

But for the Gao family and the Wang family, which were ghost and god families of the Yu Dynasty, it was not a secret. Each family had an ancestor in the underworld and they knew the origin of the Yellow Springs disaster very well.

The so-called disaster of the Yellow Springs is that there is too much filth and silt in the heaven and earth, which has blocked the Yellow Springs of the Netherworld and bred filthy and evil spirits, which must be expelled from the Netherworld, otherwise the Pure Land will also be polluted.

Just like the mud dragon is caused by too much filth and sediment in the human world, which eventually had to erupt and pollute the human world, too much silt in the Yellow Spring will also pollute the underworld.

In order to ensure the purity of the underworld, the ghosts and gods in the underworld will bring the siltation in a section of the Yellow Spring into the human world when it becomes too heavy, and use the human world to purify the siltation.

The purification method is also very simple. After these impurities are discharged into the human world, they will breed a large number of evil spirits and monsters, accompanied by disasters such as mud dragons and earth dragons turning over.

When these disasters have exhausted their power, this disaster of the underworld will be resolved.

To put it bluntly, it is to let these filth pollute the human world. After all, the human world's ability to repair itself is stronger than the netherworld, and ordinary people can grow again after they die.
Moreover, if there were no such disasters, why would people worship ghosts and gods and offer incense and sacrifices?

Ever since 100,000 years ago, when the Human King cut off all communication with heaven and earth, immortals and gods disappeared, and cultivators turned to the ghost path and entered the underworld to establish the Ghost Dynasty, this kind of thing has become common.

In order to gain worshippers' favors, ghosts and gods will do anything possible, and it is common for them to keep some evil spirits and demons in captivity.

Even the lawless god has a group of evil gods as his subordinates and followers, and occasionally lets them create some human disasters so that his incense will be more prosperous.

This disaster in the underworld was certainly a decision made by the Ghost Emperor in the underworld, but the God of Lawlessness also wanted to use this disaster in the underworld to advance himself further.

The upper limit of ghosts and gods in the human world is equivalent to the realm of transformation of cultivators. Transforming cultivators into ghosts and gods is the limit of what this world can accommodate in the human world.

This is the law of heaven and earth established by the Human King when he achieved the connection between heaven and earth a hundred thousand years ago, and it cannot be changed.

It is impossible for ghosts and gods to break through to the level of transformation in the human world, but with the help of this disaster in Huangquan, he can absorb a large amount of incense and use the cracks after the Huangquan eruption to escape into the netherworld, and no longer be bound by the family.
The Lawless God said in a cold voice: "This time, the Yellow Spring Disaster broke out in Lingyou Province. Our Wang family was made a sacrifice this time. The underground does not want the Yellow Spring Disaster to spread to too many provinces and counties and affect the incense."

"Our Wang family has become a victim, along with several county magistrates and ghosts from the Gao family. What can the Gao family say?"

Magistrate Duqing sighed and looked at the map of Lingyouzhou with worry:

"Alas, Huangquan." (End of this chapter)
