Chapter 937: The Way of God

After ten days, with Wu Yi's secret support, the belief in Shen Congyue in Chenliu County has been initially formed.

The people knew that this fairy died because she could not pay the grain and was oppressed by the government. The god's duty is to protect the people oppressed by the government and punish corrupt officials.

If it were in other places, the law enforcement officials would be better, and the people would support the government deeply, so it would not take only ten days to form a good reputation.

In the final analysis, the gods are democratic. Without a mass base, or without the general adherence of believers, even if this god is the son of the emperor of heaven, it will not grow up.

Wu Yi pushed Shen Congyue to the path of the gods, which was very rough and did not even have a name for the gods. Wu Yi originally planned to give one, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think of a good name. Later, he simply gave up this idea and let the people give the gods their own names.

The formation of a god's name is an extremely serious process. Each character in it represents either origin, cultivation method, or divine duty. One or two cannot be neglected, so some gods have very strange names. Those names that look long and ugly, to some extent, show that the other party has a deep cultivation and an extraordinary origin.

Some villagers in the surrounding villages remember Shen Congyue's story and affectionately call her Little Shen Fairy. Little Shen, from some aspects, also shows that Shen Congyue's cultivation is relatively weak and her divine position is not high.

As for the word Fairy, Shen Congyue is now a god after all, not comparable to mortals like them, and the word Fairy shows respect.

At present, the divine duty of Little Shen Fairy is to punish corrupt officials and redress grievances for the people. No matter how you look at it, it is a bit empty, but it is precisely because of the emptiness that it shows that it has huge room for growth. For gods like the land god, the sense of territory is very obvious. Stability is stability. If you want to become a great god, it is difficult to ascend to heaven.

In addition, at the grassroots level, the so-called people should not fight against officials. The conflicts between officials and the people are actually those things. There are few major cases such as burning, killing and robbing. In fact, there may not be one in a few years.

Tax collection, corvée, levies, and miscellaneous taxes are the main aspects of the conflicts between officials and the people. In a broad sense, all aspects of people's livelihood can be covered.

The strands of incense and divine thoughts gathered together, and others sincerely trusted. It can be seen that Shen Congyue is really happy. It seems that he has forgotten the nightmare he has experienced. There is no fierceness on his face. He has slowly integrated into his new role.

It was late at night again. Wu Yi walked out lightly. No one in Qingfeng Temple noticed it, just like the previous few days.

Shen Congyue went from the ghost way to the god way. It seems that they are all Yin spirits. It is not difficult, but in fact it is still difficult. To transform the rolling ghost energy into divine power, it is not a problem that can be solved by a Shinto talisman. The key is the believers' incense.

"We have been to all the countryside in Chenliu County. Are we going to the county town today?" Shen Congyue asked as he left Wu Yi's sleeve on the way.

Wu Yi nodded without further explanation.

"There are many people studying in the city, so it's hard to preach!" After following Wu Yi for many days, Shen Congyue was no longer ignorant of the Shinto, and began to explain her worries.

After a few days of visits, she understood that if she met a scholar who had studied, or some veterans who had experienced the battlefield, it would be difficult to approach, let alone preach.

Shen Congyue didn't know the reason, and Wu Yi explained to her that this was because there were saints who protected her and the white tiger's murderous aura. Obviously, Shen Congyue, an outsider, seemed to understand, but only knew that these two types of people were not easy to deal with.

"I'm taking you to the county town today, not to preach!" Wu Yi said.

"Then what are we here for?" It's not Shen Congyue's fault. After all, before she became a fierce ghost, she was just an ordinary mortal and didn't know anything about Shinto.

Wu Yi slowed down and took advantage of the bright moonlight to explain: "If the Shinto gods want to stabilize their positions and gain more incense, they must use both grace and power. I took you to the countryside before and asked you to use your magic power to help the villagers regulate their bodies. This is a favor. The people will repay the favor and naturally worship you." Shen Congyue's expression did not change, and he said: "Then we go to the county town, is it to show favor or to establish power?" "Since you guessed it, why ask again!" After that, Wu Yi speeded up again, leaving Shen Congyue far behind. Shen Congyue was no match for Wu Yi. Wu Yi stopped about ten miles outside the county town. After this place, it was the suburbs of the city. Because the county government was inside, the dragon energy would rise to a higher level. It didn't have much impact on Wu Yi, but for Shen Congyue, if he was not careful, he would expose his identity. After a dozen breaths, Shen Congyue finally caught up, panting, and the first question he asked was, "You are not going to kill the county magistrate, are you?"

After following Wu Yi for the past few days, Shen Congyue understood that Wu Yi was very powerful, and his current identity was probably just a fake body to cover up his own identity.

"The county magistrate can be killed, but I won't do it myself!" If Wu Yi did it himself, the dragon energy would backfire, and even he himself might not be able to get away with it. He could obviously incite civil unrest, so why let his hands be stained with blood? Wu Yi would not tell Shen Congyue about these contents.

"Then who are you going to establish your authority over?" Shen Congyue was even more confused. In this small Chenliu County, who else was worthy of this person's action.

"It's not me who is establishing my authority over others, but you!" Wu Yi pointed out her mistake and emphasized.

"I," perhaps remembering something, Shen Congyue's expression became depressed, and he said frankly: "I can't do it!" Let alone the other things, just the Xiezhi beast guarding the prison is not something Shen Congyue can provoke.

"I will cover up your aura for you. You go find a few officers who have bad attitudes during the tax collection process and punish them!" Wu Yi chuckled and said.

"That's all!" Shen Congyue seemed a little unbelievable. What's the use of this? It's not a task assigned by these officers.

Wu Yi looked at her with half contempt and half ridicule, and said: "You still need to hone your skills as a god!"

There is no way to finish a job in one go. If you don't show how hard you work, the believers will not give you incense. They will only take it for granted. You work hard and if you don't do it well once, you may be overthrown by the believers below.

This point is not only applicable to the way of gods, but also to the way of humans and immortals. It's just not so obvious, but it's essentially the same.

In fact, by comparison, gods who procrastinate and leave tigers to cause trouble are much better than those gods who make trouble out of nothing.

What is creating trouble out of nothing? The people are obviously living well, but he insists on letting his "pets" out to cause trouble and ask those "ungrateful" people to take them back by himself.
