He is very clear about the existence of the underworld. After all, he was the City God of Xijing City before. Sometimes he was responsible for transporting the souls of the dead to the underworld. Although he had never entered the underworld, he knew that Zheng Ming had a cave that could accommodate the souls of the dead. .
But he didn't understand why Zheng Ming wanted to get these dead souls out.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought about Zheng Ming's deification of gods, but he didn't think these dead souls could be deified as gods.
There are three conditions for the emperor to enshrine the gods, the first is to have merits and virtues before the body, the second is to be enshrined by the people after death, and the gods are condensed, and the third is the emperor to use the imperial fortune.
These dead souls had no merits and virtues during their lifetime. Although they entered Dali's Hall of Heroic Souls after death and were worshiped by all people, they did not condense their divine bodies.
If the first two conditions are not met, how can it be possible to designate him as a god?
In fact, this is the power of the list of gods. The list of gods has changed the rules of conferring gods in this world. As long as Zheng Ming is willing, as long as he has enough luck, he can confer whoever he wants as a god.
Looking at these ignorant dead souls, Zheng Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Desk!"
he said softly.
Hearing this, Xiao Fuzi immediately called the little eunuch who was waiting by the side to move the desk.
Sitting at the desk, Zheng Ming slowly unfolded the list of gods to find out the corresponding gods in the Town God's Temple.
Afterwards, he waved his hand slightly.
Jinxian understood immediately, and said, "Sui Nanguo and all the souls of the dead came forward to accept the seal!"
Sui Nanguo's expression changed, and he immediately stepped forward and bowed down in front of Zheng Ming.
But the souls of the dead behind him were in a state of ignorance, just drifting unconsciously in front of the temple without any movement.
Zheng Ming raised his head and glanced at the souls of the dead, but he didn't pay attention. He held a vermilion pen and pointed towards Sui Nanguo lightly, and then a ray of light flew out from Sui Nanguo's forehead and entered the list of gods.
In an instant, a piece of golden light bloomed on the list of gods.
Under the brilliance, Zheng Ming wrote Sui Nanguo's name on it.
That aura is the true spirit of Sui Nanguo, and the entry of spiritual consciousness into the list of gods means that from now on, the life and death of Sui Nanguo will be completely controlled by the list of gods.
At the same time, it also means that Sui Nanguo has been recognized by the list of gods and has become a god conferred by Zheng Ming.
Chapter 595 Gods of City God Temple
Afterwards, Zheng Ming held the vermilion pen and made several counts, and included all the true spirits of the dead souls into the list of gods.
"The heavens are supreme, immeasurable good fortune, the supreme great heaven, and the emperor said: You will serve the country loyally with mortal bodies. You will not be afraid of the sword and axe, and you will not retreat when you are born. Unfortunately, you will die on the battlefield and sacrifice your life to serve the country. Loyalty is commendable. Today, I am fortunate to meet the Great Heavenly Venerable God, who has made great achievements in guarding the platform, and specially bestowed treasures to comfort your loyal soul. You are named the gods of the city god of Tiandu, and they are divided into the divisions of the city god. Go. Adhere to the good and bad of yin and yang, protect the city and the people, and move in order on the day of merit. You wait for it to abide by the rules, not to be selfish, to cause troubles, to benefit others, to keep treasures forever, and always hold the silk Lun. Therefore, Zi Er Chi, Er Qi Qin!"
As Jinxian's high-pitched voice swayed between heaven and earth, Zheng Ming and the glory on the list of gods became more and more prosperous.
All of a sudden, beautiful lights and shadows appeared above the gloomy night sky, the moonlight intertwined, the stars flickered, and thousands of brilliance sprinkled down.
The entire front of the Holy Emperor's Hall became brightly lit.
Strange dao rhymes spread out one after another, and there was a faint sound echoing between heaven and earth.
Such a change immediately attracted the attention of countless practitioners inside and outside the imperial palace, as well as in the entire Tiandu City.
But they just paid attention and didn't get close.
In the imperial city, how can they signal to peep.
And with the circulation of brilliance, Sui Nanguo suddenly felt a strong wave blessing on him. .
His mouth was wide open, his breathing was stagnant, and he was stunned.
"what is this?"
He murmured in disbelief.
He has already experienced two times of accepting imperial conferment. The first time he was conferred as the mountain god of Lingyuan Mountain, and later he transcended the deification book and became a transcendent deity. The second time he was conferred as the City God of Xijing City by Zheng Ming. It also has the position of the mountain god of Lingyuan Mountain.
Accepting the imperial seal twice gave him a good understanding of the imperial imperial seal process.
But this time he found something different.
The imperial consecration of gods is based on the imperial fortune, and the conferred gods will be blessed by the imperial fortune.
And Zheng Ming's conferment of the gods this time is based on the system's luck value. In the name of Daoji Boundless Creation Supreme Great Heavenly Venerable, the imperial seal was issued.
The reason why it is not in the name of the Emperor of Heaven is because Zheng Ming is not the Emperor of Heaven now, so he is not qualified to use the title of Emperor of Heaven, but in the name of the Great Heavenly Venerable, he represents that the deity he conferred is outside of Dali.
This is also the key to Zheng Ming's deification of gods this time. If he wants to create a Shinto system, he can't limit it to Dali. He must completely break away from Dali and establish a separate system.
Instead of being granted imperial seals of luck by the dynasty, but with the value of system luck, Sui Nanguo is not considered a god of Dali, but a god under the avenue of heaven and earth.
It is somewhat similar to the ghosts and gods of the underworld, but different, because the ghosts and gods of the underworld directly inherit the heaven and earth avenue, and Sui Nanguo and the heaven and earth avenue are separated by the list of gods.
To put it simply, Sui Nanguo was enshrined by Zheng Ming himself, that is, it belonged to the gods under the Dao of Heaven and Earth, and was controlled by Zheng Ming.
Zheng Ming is like a middleman, between Tiandi Avenue and Sui Nanguo.
If Zheng Ming can control Tiandi Avenue in the future, he will become the biggest boss, and both Tiandi Avenue and Sui Nanguo will serve him.
As for the gods transformed by other dead souls, they belong to the gods of the Town God's Temple. They are established in the Town God's Temple, and they are also on Zheng Ming's list of gods.
As streaks of golden light fell on the bodies of the dead souls, the bodies of these dead souls became solid in an instant, their ignorant eyes became clear, and their numb faces became vivid.
At the same time, the specific information about the Town God's Temple was also transmitted to their sea of consciousness along with Zheng Ming's spiritual thoughts, allowing them to instantly understand the current situation.
After being dazed for a while, all the ghosts and gods came to their senses and hurriedly worshiped: "Your Majesty, Wan'an, thank you for your imperial seal."
The golden light in Zheng Ming's eyes slowly dissipated, and the brilliance on the list of gods gradually faded, and the peace between heaven and earth gradually returned to before.
He stood up, held the list of gods, and looked at the gods kneeling below.
"You are all loyal and brave soldiers of Dali, and you have sacrificed your life for Dali. Today, I have conferred you as gods in the name of Datianzun. I hope you can continue to serve Dali and abide by your duties." Zheng Ming slowly Said.
"I would like to abide by the decree of the Great Heavenly Lord." Everyone shouted in unison.
Zheng Ming smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "In that case, let the gods return to their place."
"Here!"
The next moment, Sui Nanguo got up to leave with a group of ghosts and gods.
As they dispersed, divine splendor suddenly appeared in the Town God's Temple in Tiandu City.
The god statues that had been arranged long ago appeared even more majestic under the bath of divine brilliance.
In addition to the Town God's Temple, there are also land temples within the surrounding cities that are thousands of miles away.
This time, Zheng Ming consecrated more than 300 gods, including the civil and military judges of the Town God's Temple, the gods of various divisions, the six generals, the gods of day and night, and [-] land gods.
In addition, in the future, Sui Nanguo can also recruit ghosts and ghosts to establish a real city god's government office.
For this, Zheng Ming paid more than 500 million luck points, not too much, but not too little.
After all, this is just a Tiandu city, and there are many cities in Dali. If you add some mountain gods, river gods, and sea gods, Zheng Ming wants to seal all the gods in Dali's territory, and it will cost hundreds of millions. Luck is worth it.
……
Dali's conferring the gods again did not cause much fluctuation. Perhaps in the eyes of the outside world, Dali's conferring the gods is a very normal thing. After all, considering Dali's current strength, it is reasonable to confer more gods things.
Probably only the residents of Tiandu City noticed that the Town God's Temple in the city had undergone great changes.
In fact, gods are the same thing in the eyes of powerful cultivators, especially cultivators above the enlightened realm, they don't take gods seriously, and naturally they don't ask gods to worship gods.
In the fairyland, the relationship between the gods and the people is more like a transactional relationship. The people worship the gods, and the gods protect the safety of the people. Both sides need what they need.
In particular, the gods granted by the royal dynasty usually only protect the safety of the domain of the gods, such as eliminating ghosts and monsters, avoiding some natural disasters, and so on.
But the City God of Tiandu City is different. The gods conferred by the Conferred Gods List have clear powers and can do things that other gods cannot do.
Such as eliminating disasters, eliminating illness, comforting the dead, increasing blessings and longevity, and so on.
Tiandu City God's Temple was established, and the gods entered the temple. Jingzhao Mansion immediately called on the people within its jurisdiction to worship. At first, the people just followed the government's request and went to the Town God's Temple to worship. They didn't think the Town God's Temple would bring them any benefits.
After all, this is Tiandu City, the capital of Dali.
What monsters dare to play wild here?
So they don't need the shelter of the Town God's Temple.
But there are always some poor people who pin their hopes on the gods.
Zhao Qinna is an ordinary citizen of Tiandu City, who lives outside the west city of Tiandu City. He only moved into Tiandu City 20 years ago. At that time, Tiandu City was still called Tianmu City, and Dali had not yet joined.
And the reason why he was able to be in Tiandu City is because the two sects attacked Tianmu City for the first time. Originally, he lived in a small village a hundred miles west of Tianmu City.
When the two sects attacked Tianmu City for the first time, a terrifying sword energy fell from nowhere and landed in their village.
Immortals fight, and mortals suffer.
Tens of feet of sword energy fell into a village where ordinary people lived, and the consequences can be imagined.
There were more than 30 households in the small village, half of them were killed by the violent sword energy on the spot, and half of the survivors had a hard time, and were seriously injured even if they did not die.
In the end, only a dozen people in the entire village survived.
The sword energy destroyed not only their houses and lives, but also their fields and food.
The surviving villagers saw that the potholed fields could not be cultivated again, and had no choice but to leave their hometowns.
Some people went to the surrounding villages, while some came to the Tiandu City.
When Zhao Qin was only seven or eight years old, his father died under the sword energy, and his mother brought him to Tianmu City.
It is very difficult for orphans and widows to live in a huge city, and they still have nothing. Fortunately, his mother can make pancakes, and the pancakes taste very good.
In the beginning, the two of them, mother and son, randomly built a shed in an open space outside Tianmu City, and lived on pancakes.
Later, Tianmu City joined Dali, and Dali moved its capital to Tianmu City and renamed it Tiandu City.
All the people in the city had to be registered, and Zhao Qin's mother and son became Dali's subjects.
After Jingzhao Mansion took over the government affairs of Tiandu City, it immediately began to expand the city, build private houses, establish elementary and intermediate schools, and implemented a lot of good governance.
As a result, Zhao Qin's mother and son obtained their first home, which was very small, with only three tiled houses and not even a small courtyard, but for their mother and son, this was a great blessing.
It's a pity that Zhao Qin was over ten years old at that time, already past the age to enter a school, otherwise he might still be able to embark on the road of cultivation.
After that, Zhao Qin grew up, married a wife and had children. Although his life was still poor, it was still warm.
But the good times didn't last long. Zhao Qin's mother's health became worse and worse due to years of fatigue, and this year she was even bedridden.
He has depended on his mother since he was a child, and seeing his mother like this, Zhao Qin will naturally not ignore it. He took out all his savings to treat his mother's illness, but his mother is already terminally ill, and ordinary doctors can't heal her at all. Only a real panacea can save her life. .
But how can the panacea be obtained by an ordinary person like him?
There are countless cultivators in Tiandu City, but no one will take out a panacea to treat an ordinary person.
The Jingzhao Mansion will not take care of such things.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are common things in the world. Although the Jingzhao Mansion takes care of the livelihood of the people, it cannot violate the principle of birth, old age, sickness and death.
The entire Tiandu City has tens of millions of people, most of which are ordinary people, and an unknown number of people die of illness every day. It is impossible for the Jingzhao Mansion to help everyone who is sick.
Zhao Qin ran around and got nothing. Seeing his mother's health getting worse and worse, and now unconscious, he was filled with grief.
Coincidentally, at this time, the yamen servants of Jingzhao Mansion called on the people to go to the Town God's Temple to worship.
But Zhao Qin came to the Temple of the City God in desperation, worshiped sincerely, and vowed that if the City God could save his mother, he would worship the City God day and night.
Chapter 596: Daitian Herdsman
Originally, Zhao Qin was just an ordinary citizen, and his worship is the most common in Chenghuang Temple.
But he sincerely petitioned, and it was immediately spread to the Liangyuan Department of Chenghuang Temple, which is the place where people's wishes are processed.
The gods in charge of the Liangyuan Division saw that Zhao Qin was sincere, and this was the first petition their Liangyuan Division had received since its establishment, so naturally they couldn't ignore it.
So the god immediately reported the matter to the Yin Yang Division.
The Department of Yin and Yang is the first assistant official of the City God, responsible for coordinating the various departments, and after monitoring the cases, he will report to the City God.
The Onmyoji Division was a little confused when he saw this.
These gods used to be Dali's soldiers. If they were to go to the battlefield to charge, they would be no problem, but if they were asked to deal with this kind of thing, how would they know how to deal with it?
After discussing for a while, the gods of the Yin Yang Division immediately asked the picket division to confirm Zhao Qin's situation. After confirming that Zhao Qin's situation was true, they reported the matter to Sui Nanguo.
However, Sui Nanguo stared at the reported matter.
"This matter also needs to be dealt with by God?"
