He then went to the back hall, where there were a few priests 'residences, a kitchen, a well, and so on.
Opening the secret passage under the main priest's bed, he saw a basement that was almost the same size as the ground.
Although he was underground, it was as bright as day. On the walls on both sides were Spiritual Light Beads. Absorbing the spiritual energy in the air and releasing light.
"There are security rooms, storage rooms, fallout rooms, equipment rooms, and even wells.”"Of course, the most important thing is the Merit Pool."”
In the deepest part of the corridor, Qin Feng pointed at a white jade pool inlaid with gems and jade."This is the core of the preaching hall and also the place where the power of faith of the believers is stored. It must be properly protected.”
"Yes, my lord." the leader of the mages replied.
Just as Qin Feng was bringing people to visit the preaching hall, someone in the county government also talked about the Clear Sky Temple.
"It seems that the Clear Sky Temple is anxious that you invited the Spiritual Light Temple to garrison our county.”The county captain smiled at County Magistrate Zhu as he sensed the fluctuations coming from afar through the human dao net.
County Magistrate Zhu looked in the direction of the preaching hall and said indifferently,""Right now, our Hepu County is in danger, but there are still too many parasites. We enjoy the protection of the Imperial Court, but they refuse to contribute in times of crisis.”
"It's good that you're a bully. If you take out more good things, my He Pu will have a chance.”
" Your Excellency," the county captain muttered," this Daoist Qin came in a strange way and his methods are brilliant. I'm afraid he has someone supporting him from behind. If this continues, will there be anything wrong?"”
County Magistrate Zhu said," I hope that the person behind him is as big as possible. As long as he is a human, the more we invest, the better. The more we invest, the more help we will receive when the combined garden is in danger in the future."”
The county captain felt relieved after receiving the confirmation. He smiled and said,""Milord is truly wise. Regardless of whether it is the Clear Sky Temple or the Spiritual Light Temple, as long as they enter our Hepu County, they will be under our help.”
County Magistrate Zhu was about to say something when he looked at a corner of the city.
"Sir, could that fluctuation be from the City God Temple?" the county captain asked hesitantly.”
"This should be the first time there's a reaction since Blackmountain Lord invaded our county ten years ago, causing the Shing Wong to fall into a deep slumber due to his severe injuries, right?" County Magistrate Zhu muttered.”
"Could it be that after ten years of cultivation, the City God is about to awaken?"”
"Whether he's awake or not, we can give him a push," County Magistrate Zhu said decisively. Go and prepare the offerings. Three days later, we will offer sacrifices to him.”
"Lord Zhu is very righteous. I thank Lord Zhu on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of village elders in Hepu County.”The county captain respectfully bowed and excused himself to arrange the sacrifice.
Qin Feng returned to the Clear Sky Temple and took out some spirit stones to replenish his energy. In two days, the remaining two preaching halls were 'consecrated' one by one.
As for the remaining 13 counties, because the journey was longer, the fastest preachers would still need a week to arrive, so they were free for a while.
This day, Qin Feng was absorbing spiritual energy from spirit stones. In the past two days, he had been blessed three times. The magic power in his body had been consumed and replenished, and his foundation was becoming more and more solid. Qin Feng was preparing to fill up his mana and choose a day to transcend the Wind Tribulation and become a Wind Tribulation Adept.
The so-called wind tribulation was when the soul left the body and was cut by the wind blade in the night wind. It was used to temper one's soul. After surviving it, the soul would become more condensed, and the magic power would also undergo a qualitative change, increasing its power greatly. From then on, his soul left his body at night and traveled thousands of miles in an instant without a trace.
The so-called True Human Realm referred to True Human Realm cultivators. After passing the wind tribulation, he could be called Daoist Night Traversing.
"Weng weng" the jade talisman vibrated. Someone was sending a message.
Qin Feng frowned and stopped circulating his magic power. He knew that it was not an urgent matter and no one would disturb him.
Opening the jade talisman, a one-foot-tall image of Li Xiu 'er appeared.""Master, this is bad. The county magistrate is going to the City God Temple to offer sacrifices today.”
"I'll go over now." Qin Feng said.”
Qin Feng came out of seclusion and came to the main hall of the Clear Sky Temple. The hall masters and deacons were all gathered in the hall. When they saw Qin Feng, they all greeted him.
"When did the magistrate suddenly come to offer sacrifices to the City God Temple?" Qin Feng asked as he sat down on the main seat.”
"This morning, I saw an outer sect disciple go out to do some work. He saw that the county government was open. The county magistrate and a group of officials brought livestock offerings to the City God Temple. That's why he reported to me."”
"What's with the City God Temple?" Qin Feng frowned.”
Daoist Zhen replied," Sir, the Dazhen imperial court has established a Divine Path. The capital has a city god, each state has a state city god, and so on. Each county also has its own city god. Even the villages and towns had local gods.”
"The gods that are spread all over the world, other than a small number of heroic spirits and virtuous officials of the previous dynasty, most of them are the founding generals who died in battle with His Majesty the Emperor. They were conferred by famous generals and virtuous officials in the past three hundred years.”
Qin Feng's heart trembled when he heard this. He did not expect the Imperial Court to have such methods. It was almost like the legendary Heavenly Court in his previous life.
"Since each county has its own City God, why haven't I heard of the name of the City God of Hepu County?”Qin Feng asked.
Daoist Zhen sighed." You may not know this, but when Blackmountain Lord attacked the city, Daoist Qingyun was not the only expert who died. Even the Commander-in-Chief of the county who came to support the army, who led a hundred thousand troops, had an army aura that covered ten miles. Even immortals would have to retreat if they saw it, but they also died on the spot.”
"Lord Shing Wong of Hepu County was also shattered by Lord Blackmountain's golden body with a single strike. He was on the verge of death, and there was no news of him for ten years.”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They did not expect this Lord Blackmountain to be so fierce.
Only then did Qin Feng resolve his doubts. He had thought that the counties would not dare to send out their troops because of the threat of the barbarian sorcerers. It turned out that it wasn't that the county didn't have reinforcements, but that the commander had died in battle.
"Today, the county magistrate offered sacrifices to the City God. Could it be that the City God has awakened?" Li Xiu 'er asked.”
"I'm not sure." Daoist Zhen shook his head. However, since the officials were paying their respects, they were still confident.”
Qin Feng said," There's no point in saying more. Let's go up and observe the Qi together."”
After obtaining the Qi Gazing Technique, Qin Feng made it into a skill book and distributed it to the inner sect disciples. Other than the Earth Emperor Golden Seal, the other Dao scriptures were all made into Dao scriptures by Qin Feng and distributed to the disciples according to their grades.
Everyone followed Qin Feng to the Dao soldier camp and went up to the roof. This was the highest point of the Clear Sky Temple, and the City God Temple could be seen from afar.
Qin Feng looked up at the clouds and saw red and white clouds stretching for ten miles above the county city. With the Dao network as the skeleton, it was like an umbrella covering the county city.
All kinds of clouds in the city reflected each other and separated into two groups. Qin Feng knew that these were the powerful landowners of the county.
Looking back at the Blue Cloud Temple, a small cloud pillar was connected to the net. Red and white clouds enveloped the Blue Cloud Temple. Streams of clouds spread out, making the clouds seem much thinner. This was due to the establishment of various preaching halls and the shift of manpower and resources elsewhere. It did not mean that the Clear Sky Temple had declined.
At the Shing Wong Temple, a cloud of gold and red light was like a lamp that did not dissipate.
As the county magistrate offered his sacrifice, a streak of providence was extracted from the providence of the county city, condensing into a red light that shot towards the golden red light of the City God Temple.
With the help of luck, the golden red cloud light grew rapidly and gradually stabilized.
In the spirit eye, the Shing Wong Temple emitted a magnificent golden-red radiance, like the rising sun.
Qin Feng sighed,"The Shing Wong is awake. Hepu County will be in trouble."”
