I am doing meritorious deeds in Liaozhai

Chapter 490 Going to the Land
After picking the fruits, Song Yushan sent a message to his father and mother, telling them about his new working place, and then chose to take up his post.

In the blink of an eye, it's here.

"Isn't he the new land god of Xinghua Township?"

Song Yushan took a closer look and saw an old man wearing a floral shirt, beach pants, sunglasses, and a lollipop in his mouth sitting on the boundary stone of Xinghua Township in front of him.

In the blink of an eye, he was in front of her, slid his sunglasses to the tip of his nose, stared at her, and asked slightly excitedly: "Are you the new earth god? Song Yushan?"

Although he did not wear standard god clothes, Song Yushan also felt the same kind of aura from him. This was also a god.

Song Yushan nodded: "Exactly."

"Great! You've got it! From today on, Xinghua Township will be handed over to you, and I will feel much more relaxed!" the old man said cheerfully.

Song Yushan was a little confused. Listening to this meaning, why does this person seem to be the God of the Earth?
This was the first person she met besides her father and Su Chenghuang. She was inevitably curious and asked, "What do you call your Excellency?"

The old man slapped his head: "Look at me, I'm so happy that I forgot to introduce myself to you.

I am also the land god king Weihai. I was originally responsible for Xinghua Township and Ninghai Township. You can just call me Old Man Wang, or Lao Wang.

Now that you are here, I will only be responsible for Ninghai Township, and my work will be much easier.

Looking at you, it doesn't look like you were transferred from somewhere else. You just started working on land, right? "

Song Yushan nodded again: "Can the Earth God be transferred?"

"Of course, wherever there are people, there will be land gods. People will migrate, and our land can also be transferred."

Old Man Wang said and glanced at the big gold watch in his hand: "Oh! It's two o'clock. I have to catch a plane to go on vacation, so I won't tell you. You just follow the novice guide slowly. If you don't understand anything, , let’s have a good chat when I come back!”

After saying that, he jumped three feet high in a hurry, and when he landed, he disappeared into the ground.

Song Yushan: "..."

The painting style of this land god seems a bit strange!

Is it because the mortals in the Southern Forest World are more open-minded and have influenced the gods here?
Song Yushan shook his head helplessly. Let's take a look at the novice mission first and figure out the situation of this land god! It seems to be very different from the mountain god and river god.

Now that she has a cave, she doesn't have to read the information all over the place.

There are also blinding methods in the cave to prevent mortals from discovering the traces.

Song Yushan took off the cave from his waist, placed it next to the boundary monument, and then entered the cave.

There was nothing in the thatched house in the cave, and she had no time to decorate the cave now, so she just bought a sofa chair in Fanzhen Pavilion, placed it at the door of the thatched house, sat on it, and started watching the mission of the gods.

[Novice Task: Theoretical Learning] appears again, this time it is the theoretical learning of the Earth God.

The first task is the same as before, which is to read the "Knowledge Book of Gods" thoroughly and pass the "Comprehensive Quality Assessment of Gods".

Even if she has learned this book thoroughly, she still has to take the test again every time she takes a new job.

This task is no longer difficult for her.

The remaining two tasks are critical.

[2. Familiarly read, understand and recite the "Land God Work Code" and pass the "Land God Quality Assessment (Closed Book)". 】

[3. Familiarly read "Encyclopedia of Nanlin Customs" and "Chronicles of Customs and Characters of Xinghua Township", and pass the "Knowledge Assessment on Customs of Nanlin and Xinghua Township (Open Book)". 】

It can be seen from the third task that although the land god also manages the land, the focus of management is on the creatures on the land, especially the intelligent creatures.

This is different from mountain gods and river gods.

Before, she also had jurisdiction over the living beings in the land, but more often than not, she was protecting the mountains, rivers and land under her jurisdiction. He is just the land god of Xinghua Township, but he still needs to understand the mortal customs of the entire Southern Forest World. I don’t know why?
Song Yushan read the three new study materials given to her with confusion.

After reading through the "Code of Work of the Land God", all her doubts were answered.

The duty of the earth god is to protect mortals.

However, this guardianship of mortals is not simply about protecting individual mortals, but rather about protecting mortals' reincarnations of life and death.

Mortals are very special, they are weak and their lifespan is only a short one hundred years.

But after their yang life span, they can still enjoy their yin life span.

Yin and Yang are different, and the Yin world and the Yang world cannot interfere with each other.

All mortals within the territory are under the jurisdiction of the land god.

When a mortal is born, the local land god will settle him and bring him under his jurisdiction.

Mortals enjoy a long life, and when they are still alive, the earth god protects them from being affected by demons and monsters.

After the mortal body dies and becomes a ghost, the land god is responsible for extraditing them to the underworld to live out their life.

After mortal ghosts have expired and returned to their true spiritual state, the land god will cancel their accounts.

If a mortal becomes a monk, his or her account will also be cancelled.

In Song Yushan's view, the land god is the guardian god sent by heaven to mortals.

Every human settlement in the big world has a land god.

It is not measured by the size of the land, but only by the population.

Generally, about five thousand mortals will be equipped with an earth god.

In sparsely populated rural areas, one land may govern several villages.

For example, Xinghua Township, her jurisdiction, has three villages in total. The three villages combined have a population of just over 5,000 people.

In densely populated towns, there may be a land god on a street, or even a community, or a unit building.

But this is the time when all the gods have returned to their positions and there are enough manpower.

Although the Nanlin World is the world with the largest number of gods in the Tianxuan Realm.

But after all, this is a new realm that has just started. There is a serious shortage of gods and talents, and it is impossible to equip five thousand mortals with one earth god.

As the world with the most gods in the Tianxuan Realm, Tiandao has assigned most of the power to the gods and allowed them to manage the world.

Only now did Song Yushan know that the reason why Heaven would select some true spirits, grant them the status of gods, assign them authority, and let them manage the world was not because Heaven was incapable of managing them, but because Heaven had to do more important things.

The big world that has developed to its peak state is left to the management of the gods selected by itself, so that the law of heaven can be free to nurture and cultivate a new world.

Currently, there are not enough land gods in the Southern Forest World.

The laws left by the law of heaven are only enough to maintain the basic operation of the world when the gods are on vacation, and cannot carry out more detailed management and deal with various problems.

Therefore, the gods who have returned to their thrones have to bear more.

Take the land gods as an example. Currently, half of the land gods in the Southern Forest World manage more than 10,000 mortals.

One god doing the work of two gods.
