Changsheng: I can sell everything

Chapter 674: The Secret of Shinto, the Road to Opening the Heavens

Song Ciwan saw Lao Gou off and then walked slowly for a while on the mountain.

It was not until the setting sun was about to completely fall below the horizon that she shook the Huijiang City God in her hand, and forcibly "woken up" this evil god that looked like a clay sculpture or a wooden statue.

Huijiang City God actually doesn’t want to “wake up”, but he has to. If he doesn’t wake up, he will be shaken to death!
“Ouch, ouch!” The foot-tall City God cried out to the sky, tears and snot streaming down his face. “Fairy! Fairy, spare my life. Please, fairy, spare me. I know I was wrong!”

Song Ciwan said: "Do you know what's wrong?"

At the same time, he carried the Yin Spirit in front of him as if it were a cloth bag.

Huijiang City God did not dare to resist at all. He lowered his hands and feet obediently, raised his three miniature heads, and smiled carefully, "My dear fairy, I should not have succumbed to the tyranny of the Fourth Prince just because I was afraid of being deposed by him. I should not have created unjust cases and weird things just to collect wishes."

As he spoke, his three heads and three faces showed expressions of utmost humility and regret.

At the same time, the Tiandi Scale received a ball of Qi: [Divine Thoughts, the regret, hatred, and anxiety of the damaged Feiling-level God, three catties and nine ounces, can be traded.]

Huijiang City God restrained his emotions very well. Although he acted very afraid of Song Ciwan, his spiritual thoughts only flew out in a ball.

Unlike the previous Lao Gou, there would be dozens of groups of people rushing over like a blizzard at any time.

Earlier, Song Ciwan had a conversation with Lao Gou, revealing shocking news, and she did not avoid Huijiang City God at that time.

Lao Gou was so excited that his desire was flying around, but Huijiang City God not only stood still like a clay sculpture, but his emotions also did not fluctuate at all.

If he had not fallen into Song Ciwan's hands today, it would be hard to say how far he would be able to go in the future.

However, there is never a shortage of people with great perseverance in this world, but there is a shortage of people with great luck.

Some people are obviously more ruthless than anyone else and seem to be able to achieve great things, but if they go astray and lack luck, they will eventually suffer the consequences.

Such people are by no means isolated cases!
Song Ciwan did not comment on Huijiang City God's regret, but only said: "Tell me about your Shinto system."

Yes, the reason why Song Ciwan temporarily spared the life of Huijiang City God and did not kill him immediately was because she wanted to understand Shinto practice.

Song Ciwan had been very curious about Shinto practice a long time ago.

Shinto monks absorb faith for practice, and Tiandi Ling seems to like faith as well!
Song Ciwan had also directly gained the sharing of the Tao from believers by establishing faith with others.

Take Yan Hanzhang for example. Song Ciwan once enlightened Yan Hanzhang from a distance, and through Yan Hanzhang, he absorbed the other party's innate magic text, the word "change".

Later, this original fantasy word "变" gradually evolved into the Chinese character formula "变" by Song Ciwan.

The mystery behind this is so strange that even Song Ciwan today finds it difficult to understand.

Huijiang City God was crying and laughing to show his loyalty. When he heard Song Ciwan's question, his eyes suddenly turned and he said carefully: "Fairy, if you ask, I will tell you everything I know. But... this, I really regret it, and I will definitely change my ways from now on. I wonder if the fairy can give me a chance?"

This is a disguised bargaining, or even a disguised threat!

Song Ciwan smiled and said, "You don't have to tell me everything you know. It's fine." Huijiang City God shuddered all over and dared not bargain anymore. He quickly said, "Fairy, please be magnanimous and listen to my detailed explanation!"

"The first step in Shinto practice is to become a heroic spirit, and the second step is to be deified."

"There are actually two ways to deify a god. One is to be canonized by the imperial court, which is blessed by the will of heaven and the fate of the country. This is a legitimate god. The other is to worship a wild animal in a lewd temple, where ignorant people worship it privately. Over time, it gradually develops supernatural powers and finally becomes a wild god!"

"This wild god is not necessarily the spirit of a deceased hero. There are also monsters that absorb faith and become wild gods. There are also mountain and water spirits that become gods on their own, and there are also gods that become gods out of resentment..."

"This kind of god is both a wild god and an evil god. They are very scary. They are even more unpredictable and terrifying than the strange world. They harm the people, but are often difficult to eradicate."

As Huijiang City God spoke, he carefully glanced at Song Ciwan.

Seeing that her expression was indifferent and unchanged, he really couldn't guess what her attitude was, so he could only continue: "After all, there are always all kinds of strange legends among the people. Foolish men and women worship for no reason, and as time goes by, new wild gods and evil gods will always appear... Alas!"

Huijiang City God sighed and said, "This is something that can't be stopped despite repeated bans, especially in rural villages. You can't imagine what the villagers will worship! You can't just kill them all to stop them from worshipping gods randomly, right?"

Song Ciwan listened and nodded slightly.

Huijiang City God suddenly became more excited and said quickly: "The imperial court's temples are different from the small temples in the countryside. With the help of official seals and auxiliary gods, the city gods of various places can quickly condense pure faith and refine it into wish-power pills."

"If you swallow the pure wish power pill, it will not only cleanse your own blood and true energy, but also quickly increase your skills."

"Fairy, you may not know that the Fourth Prince has subdued me and asked me to provide a large number of Wish Power Pills. This is not a rare thing. After all, the imperial court in the past also required the city gods of various places to pay tribute to Wish Power Pills every six months!"

Song Ciwan immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this true?" This was indeed the first time Song Ciwan had heard of this.

Huijiang City God hurriedly said, "Indeed, it is absolutely true! The number of Wish Power Pills is also related to the assessment of the City God. If there are not enough Wish Power Pills, even if the City God has been canonized, it is possible to be demoted again."

Speaking of this, Huijiang City God felt deeply aggrieved.

He cried again and said, "My dear fairy, I am really helpless! I have fought in the Demon Pass for fifty years. If I had not accumulated military merits, how could I have obtained the Jade Book of Conferred Gods?

Who would have thought that after the deification, there would be annual assessments and worship every year. The people are all fearful of power and forgetful of virtue. If the country is peaceful and prosperous, how can there be any faith? Even if someone comes to the City God Temple to worship, it is just a formality. How many people can be pious? "

……

He cried loudly, and Song Ciwan listened to him. He felt that he was just like Lao Gou before, and had experienced a subversion of his world view.

Originally, she actually had a very favorable impression of the City God system of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Because most of the City Gods in various places are transformed from heroic spirits on the battlefield, as far as Song Ciwan has seen, except for the Huijiang City God, there are almost no "bad" City Gods in other places!

The City God protects the city and the people, isn't it natural?

But now, a city god told Song Ciwan that the city god must have faith, but the people in this peaceful and prosperous world have no faith!
