Dao fruit.

Yuanning City.

As a government office, people still come and go.

On a street corner in the south of the city, stands an inconspicuous, small shrine.

This ancestral hall occupies a small area, and the layout inside is also very simple. There is no incense altar outside the door, and there is a god altar when you enter the door. On the altar stands a half-person-high clay statue of a god.

At this time, Qiu Yan's deity himself was living in this statue, swallowing the incense on the altar.

Inside the divine body of the deity, there is brilliance, and 99 divine power stars are layered on top of each other, centered on the core talisman, slowly rotating, like a vortex in water that is glowing with light.

Xingxuan.

This is one of the characteristics of the sixth grade deity.

It has been two years since Qiu Yan ascended to the sixth rank. In the past two years, thanks to the avatar of the scholar, a large number of people are willing to gather from the hole in their souls and condense into stars every day. His divine power is getting stronger and stronger. Rich and deep.

Two years of hard work is almost equal to the accumulation of other gods for several years or more than ten years. However, as the power of the gods increases day by day, it will eventually reach a bottleneck. After the 99th star is condensed, the thousandth star will not matter. It is difficult to condense it out.

This made Qiu Yan realize that there is a limit to the divine power that a sixth-rank god can accumulate. After some speculation, he also came up with the limit of a seventh-rank god, which should be 99 stars of divine power.

Vaguely, Qiu Yan had a feeling that this bottleneck of divine power seemed to be related to his joining the God Division.

However, although it is difficult to give birth to new stars of divine power, the gathered people's wishes are not wasted, but instead condense the existing stars, making the divine power more refined, cohesive, and thick.

The power of the gods is profound, and the power and supernatural powers of the gods become stronger, and the influence and interference on the people in the city gradually deepen.

This shrine was established under such circumstances, but the people who contributed the most here were Li Bo, Wang Qiaoer and others.

After being taught by Qiu Yan, the few of them still had the intention of revenge, but it didn't take long before they had nightmares every night. The evil things they did in the past and the people who bullied them appeared repeatedly in their dreams. The difference is that they no longer It's not the one who does evil and puts pressure, but the one who is being oppressed. As a result, he suffers every night, and can't even sleep peacefully. Later, he doesn't even dare to close his eyes, and his energy and physical strength are great Affected, in a trance, all plants and trees are soldiers.

But then, inadvertently, one of them discovered that being by the stove could calm the restless mind, calm down evil thoughts, and sleep peacefully at night. After that, the others followed suit.

As the state of mind stabilized and the evil thoughts subsided, Li Bo and the others actually changed their temperaments. They stopped doing evil and did good instead. When the good-hearted people inquired, they realized that they were actually influenced by the god named "Stove Lord". .

After many visits, the worship of the Kitchen God finally took shape, and Li, Wang and others also invested in the establishment of a shrine to worship devoutly, allowing Qiu Yan to move out of the murals of the Town God's Temple and live in a shrine.

Now, the deity, who has lived peacefully for a long time, suddenly has a shock in his heart, feeling that his luck connected with the City God is undergoing drastic changes.

"What's going on? This luck connection, after I joined the gods, it has been calm, why has it become so unstable now?"

Just as he was thinking, a mellow voice suddenly sounded in his heart, echoing repeatedly——

"Come quickly to the Hall of Gods!"

Qiu Yan was no stranger to this voice, and knew that it belonged to the City God of Yuanning.

For this city god, the scholar avatar had consulted the classics a long time ago, and figured out the origin of the name "Yin Xiao'e".

The silver prince was loyal and devoted all his life, and was deeply loved by the people. He once turned the tide, but unfortunately he made great achievements and was tabooed by treacherous officials. , the incense is at its peak.

Unexpectedly, this daughter of Lord Yin actually went to Yuanning Mansion in Jiannan Road and became the capital city god.

Thinking in my heart, the god left the seedlings and walked along the road. When the deity arrived outside the Chenghuang Yinsi Temple, the first thing he saw were three flood-lit figures.

Three gods.

However, the fluctuations emanating from the three gods seemed a bit chaotic.

Gods can gather people's thoughts, and a large part of their composition is between energy and spirit. Therefore, in many cases, there is no need for words between gods and gods, and they can perceive each other's state only by feeling.

The three gods in front of them fluctuated in disorder, which meant that they were restless.

One of the three gods is the land in the south of the city, Huang Jue, who has a close relationship with the deity.

Seeing the deity coming, he turned around and appeared in front of the deity, with an anxious expression on his face: "The situation is not good, it's best to be prepared."

"Huh? What exactly happened, why did Lord Chenghuang summon the gods in such a hurry?" the deity asked.

"Do you still remember the incident in Pan's residence two years ago?" Huang Jue didn't speak, but passed on the message directly.

Qiu Yan nodded, naturally he would not forget.

Then, Huang Jue continued to read: "The Pan Mansion was robbed that day, and a personal disciple of the famous Shangling Dao was in distress, but the murderer was never found, and the gods intervened that day, and now the Shangling Dao is finally going to investigate. I and the land in the east of the city cannot absolve myself of the blame because of our jurisdiction, and you and Bai Wenpan, as the assistant officials of the city god, are responsible for the transfer of gods in the city, and I am afraid that they will also be held accountable."

"Going to the Spiritual Way..."

Chewing on this word, the deity was not surprised. For gods and monks, two years is not a long time. It is not too late for mortals to take revenge for ten years, let alone a monk with a long lifespan?

At the same time, he also thought of Xi Yun, whom he had seen in his avatar before, and connected the two things, grasping a trace of inner connection.

After pondering for a while, the deity Chuannian asked: "Where did you get this news?"

Huang Jue didn't answer, but turned to look at Bai Wenpan not far away.

The other two of the three gods are Bai Wenpan and Chengdong Land. These two gods have solemn faces, and at the same time, there is a wave of thoughts of the same hatred.

"Miyuan, this crisis is not easy to deal with. I heard..."

Noticing the deity's gaze, Bai Wenpan sent a thought, but before he finished speaking, a mighty thought descended, and the four gods immediately understood, and each restrained their thoughts. When the gods turned around, they all turned into blue rays of light and entered the underworld.

The main hall of the City God's Yin Division is gloomy and solemn.

The city god in battle armor is still sitting under the plaque and in front of the screen. On both sides of the main hall, the seats are lined up, full of gods.

After the deity and the others showed their figures, the City God raised his head slightly, and the eyes of the metal mask flashed brightly, as if he had glanced at the four gods, then he raised his hand and patted the gavel.

Snapped!

Immediately, the entire hall fell silent, and even the thoughts of people's wishes that leaked from the gods from time to time were restrained by an inexplicable force.

Then, I heard Chenghuang speak, and the mellow voice echoed throughout the hall——

"The Dao City God is about to come, everyone, please wait here with peace of mind."

While speaking, she looked at the deity.

………………

"Tao City God?"

The deity and the avatar are one mind and two bodies, so they knew the matter at the same time.

"Didn't you say that the Dao of the Spirit should be investigated? Why did the Dao City God come?"

After returning to the throne for a long time, Qiu Yan also has some concepts about the division of gods, knowing that although the names of the city gods are the same, they are also divided into ranks.

There are three levels of Daofu and county in Darui. The city gods rely on the city, so there are naturally differences. Generally, the county town is the city god, and the prefecture is the capital city god. City God.

"Gods don't act as tediously as mortals. They say they are waiting, but it is possible to wait for a long time. It is hard to say when this city god will arrive. It's just that things are getting more and more complicated. However, it might not be an opportunity..."

Just as he was thinking, he passed the notice in the city, and then he saw someone posting a notice, and what was written on it was something he had known for a long time.

"There is still more than a month until the Taoist test. My two years of accumulation will be sublimated by this test..."
