Chapter 349: Grand occasion, the Twelve Yuanchen Temple was stepped over the threshold

"Father, look!"

As soon as the little girl stretched out her hand, she saw a green snake appear out of thin air, wrapped around the girl's arm, and swam along. The smaller half of her body had already reached the girl's palm. She raised her head and looked at Li Zhiwu with smart eyes.

This green snake is not a living thing at first glance. Its whole body is green and green, translucent, and glowing with a green and green shimmer.

As an Apocalypse with decent strength, Liu Zhiwu has been dealing with heroic spirits all year round. Naturally, he immediately sensed that the little snake in front of him was probably close to the strength of a second-level heroic spirit.

It turned out to be true!

Liu Zhiwu was shocked.

A few days ago, there were several more temples in the city. These temples are dedicated to the twelve yuan chen, with animal heads and human bodies, but they are all solemn. The temples are not very big, but they are all very well built. Exquisite and complex, beautiful and solemn.

The superiors love to build temples. Liu Zhiwu has long seen this. When he first arrived in the Nanyang continent, he built temples. Now, after several expansions and additions, there are already hundreds of Taoist temples in the huge Xia Nancheng.

Especially the Tiandi Temple located in the center of the city, which houses many gods.

Among them are Shuizheng Longyuan, Tuzheng Dijun, Huozheng Shangkui, Zifu Niangzi, Medicine God Cuiwei and other accompanying gods of Marshal Shen, as well as gods such as Tiangang God, Earth Evil God, solar term god, family house god, five internal organs god, etc. There are many native gods of Tianxia.

The entire Temple of Heavenly Emperor occupies a huge area and is built as magnificently as a palace in the sky. It is now the most lively place in Xia Nan City. There are many people on weekdays. During festivals, it is even more crowded with tourists. Weave.

However, the newly built Twelve Yuanchen Temple is still very special. Not only is it much larger in number than the temples dedicated to other immortal gods, but it also said that you should have a Yuanchen God General corresponding to your zodiac sign. If you go back and worship it, you will have a chance to get your own patron saint.

This shrine is divided into many grades, including gold, silver, copper, and various jade materials.

The cheapest one is made of copper. A small statue, plus a simple wooden shrine, doesn't cost much.

The most expensive ones are carved from top-quality jade materials, and the shrines are also made from top-quality wood and carved by masters. However, the palm-sized shrines are worth thousands of gold.

Although Shen Guanye had created many miracles and always kept his word and did what he said, Liu Zhiwu instinctively trusted Shen Guanye, but this time, he could no longer trust blindly.

If you invite a statue of Yuanchen that corresponds to your zodiac sign back and offer it every day, can you create your own "zodiac guardian angel"?

It sounds too mysterious and unheard of.

Liu Zhiwu even felt that this was a way for people below to deceive the superiors and deceive Shen Guanye, and to create a clever name to make money. After all, this kind of thing is not new in ancient times. Although the Xia Nan Clan is much better than his hometown, it is still That’s not to say there’s no dark side, right?

However, adults like him were doubtful, but the children were convinced, and one by one they begged their parents to buy a shrine.

The cheapest shrines around don't cost much, so most parents accommodate their children's requests.

Even if you can’t raise a zodiac guardian angel, you can still be lucky!

After all, this thing is a patron saint, which has a good meaning.

Liu Zhiwu is a child slave, and his current family conditions are good, so he has hired high-end Yuan Chen Shenjiang to go back to his children - of course, not the highest-value grades, and he can't buy those grades. rise.

As for himself, although he didn't really believe this, he still invited a golden Yuan Chen God General back for himself and his wife.

Unexpectedly, his daughter actually supported the zodiac patron saint, and what she said above turned out to be true!

Liu Zhiwu's daughter was one of the first to make offerings to patron saints. At about the same time, many others also made offerings to patron saints, most of them children, and some adults.

Shen Guanye got the news soon.

The construction of several Twelve Yuan Chen temples began early in the morning, but at that time, what was enshrined in them was not announced to the public. Some time ago, with the birth of Hai Zhu God General, the Twelve Yuan Chen was completed. The plan of the zodiac patron saint has also been launched.

Much earlier than he expected, this was mainly because the civil war in the Star Kingdom brought him a lot of merit and money - he almost single-handedly held back the Star Kingdom, the only superpower in the world. The merit is immeasurable.

As the civil war among the stars intensified, more and more merit and money were contributed to him. Not only were the Twelve Yuan Chens born one by one, but high-level and even top-level heroic spirits such as Dragon Knights, Solar Terms God, and Tiangang God also increased. A lot.

On the contrary, there was not much gain on the battlefield in Chongling Province. Although the two sides continued to engage in large and small battles, today you advance a little bit, and tomorrow I will take back a little bit. The battle lines have not changed much, and we have entered a strategic stalemate stage.

The warlords fought on several fronts and did not fall behind.

Of course, this is due to the fact that all parties did not use their full strength, but it also shows the strength of the warlords.

……

"I already know the situation, thank you for your hard work."

Shen Guanye said to his men.

The men retreated with expressions of joy and excitement on their faces.

They can already imagine how hot the sales of the shrines will be next.

Shen Guanye was also very happy.

It was his instruction to sell shrines of different grades. Firstly, he could implement the big plan of the zodiac patron saint, and secondly, he could also collect a batch of funds to alleviate the financial pressure caused by the war.

After two years of development, the residents already have a lot of money on hand, and it’s time for the government to collect some of the money. We can’t always rely on him for blood transfusions, right?

Moreover, when there were only a few hundred thousand people before, he could still hold on. Now there are more than one million, no, more than two million people. How can he still hold on?

Necessary fund recovery must be carried out.

Money has to be liquid to be valuable, right?

The price of the lowest-grade copper shrines is very low, and the high-grade shrines cannot be afforded by ordinary people. Can the lowest-grade ones still be unaffordable?

This will not hinder the implementation of the Zodiac Guardian Plan.

The appearance of the patron saint caused quite a stir in Xia Nancheng. Before that, except for the children, some people were skeptical. Although the rest of the people felt that the higher-ups, especially the commander Shen Guanye, would not know how to do it, I made such a joke, so I subconsciously believed...

But believe it, believe it. Before the patron saint actually appeared, the belief in my heart was still not realized.

Now that the patron saint has finally appeared, he is naturally happy.

Many people began to eagerly test the combat power and uses of the Patron Saint. After this test, the surprise became even greater.

Different zodiac signs have different specialties.

For example, Chenlong has the strongest combat power among the twelve zodiac signs, and also has a strong mental deterrent ability. His combat power ranks first among the patron saints.

For example, Yin Hu is also good at fighting. He is the only one among all the guardian gods that can compete head-on with Chen Long. He also has a "death battle" characteristic. Once this characteristic is activated, his combat power will soar to a level that even Chen Long cannot match. .

Another example is Si Snake, which is good at sneak attacks and using poison. Its frontal combat ability is not as good as that of Chen Long and Yin Hu, but it is very good at playing dirty tricks, like an assassin.

Among the remaining patron saints, Weiyang is good at healing, Wu Ma and Mao Rabbit are good at leading people to escape, and Youji is good at musical attack, as well as the ability to ward off evil spirits...

It can be said that each has its own characteristics, and even the patron saint who is least good at fighting can still compete with the upper level 1st level heroic spirits. The strongest Chenlong and Yinhu can even defeat the weakest level 2 heroic spirits.    This is simply a big surprise for the common people!

Although in Xia Nan clan, ordinary people have many more channels to obtain heroic spirits than in other places, and the possibility is much higher, for most families, heroic spirits are "heavy assets" that are difficult to afford.

Now, as long as you spend at least a few meals to invite a Yuan Chen god to come back, and offer incense and worship every day, you can get a patron saint who is as good as a second-level heroic spirit. Who wouldn't want to?

After the news spread, the people in Xia Nancheng went crazy. Those who had not purchased the Twelve Yuanchen statues before almost broke through the thresholds of several Yuanchen temples in the city.

The statistics department under Shen Guanye was also very fast. They quickly made statistics on the first group of people who supported the patron saints, and quickly came to a conclusion.

The speed at which a patron saint is conceived is generally related to the degree of piety, the level of the shrine, and the strength of the person involved, but the greatest influence is the degree of piety, which is why most of the first batch of people who gave birth to a patron saint are children.

After all, sincerity leads to success!

Soon, the propaganda department took advantage of the situation to publicize this conclusion. Therefore, while people crossed the threshold of Yuanchen Temple, they also tried their best to choose expensive shrines.

Anyway, as long as the price of the shrine is lower than the price of a level 2 heroic spirit, it’s always profitable, right?

Besides, didn't I say above that the Patron Saint still has the ability to grow and can be advanced in the future? This kind of thing happens one step at a time, so how can we do it carefully?

This is the psychology of ordinary people. As for those wealthy families, they don't care about the money at all, and they choose the highest-grade shrines for each core member.

For something as profitable as this, there is no need to be forced by the superiors to do it. The common people are afraid that they will be late and the shrines will be sold out before it is too late!

Fortunately, Shen Guanye was prepared for such a "grand occasion". Shortly after the birth of Divine General Yuan Chen, he started making preparations for the people below him, which did not make everyone anxious.

In the next few days, several Yuanchen temples were making money every day, and all the money was put into the "treasury" of the Xia Nan Clan.

Don't underestimate this "business". How much money can you make from a small shrine?

For any product, when the sales volume increases, the profits will become astonishing. People can become the richest man selling mineral water!

The same goes for shrines. As a necessity, even if it is just a one-time sale, the sales and profits are amazing.

……

In the upper reaches of the Xianan River, in Xianan Province, several cities are being built at the same time, and many Baixi City residents already live here - Shen Guanye started the relocation plan after capturing Baixi City.

On the one hand, it is to fill the population of Xia'nan Province, so that it can be gradually connected with Xia'nan City in the future, so that there will not be a large no-man's land in Xia'nan Province.

On the other hand, it is also to alleviate the population pressure of Baixi City.

The reason why the people of Baixi City are living a difficult life is certainly one of the important reasons why Li Zhibao's exorbitant taxation is one of the reasons. The country is weak and the people are weak, and the current situation is turbulent, which has caused considerable damage to the production order.

But there is another reason, that is, there are too many people and too little land.

The contradiction between people and place ultimately leads to the contradiction between people.

The land in and around Baixi City can no longer afford such a large population. In this case, opening up more farmland will undoubtedly greatly alleviate the population pressure in Baixi City, and Shen Guanye has exactly this ability.

Now, although the mountain gods and water gods in his hands are far from being surplus - his ultimate goal is to have every inch of land in Tianxia under the control of the mountain gods and water gods. Where is this?

But with so many more mountain temples and water temples, and the merit money accelerating the breeding process, Shen Guanye has no shortage of mountain gods and water gods.

With a wave of his hand, it was not difficult to assign nearly a hundred mountain gods and water gods.

In addition, several groups of solar terms gods were born, and Shen Guanye directly sent these groups of solar terms gods to the newly built towns.

The solar terms god sorts out the solar terms, improves the climate, and opens up several livable places at your fingertips.

Although it’s hard to leave one’s homeland, people can’t live any longer. There’s land allocated there and even houses are ready, so why should there be any hesitation?

A large number of people from Baixi City and nearby areas entered Xianan Province and settled down here. Even in the area that is still in the hands of Li Zhibao, a large number of people braved the flames of war and passed through the layers of blockades of the Chongling clan. Came across mountains and rivers.

……

In the Nanyang rainforest, Feng Fei flew across the sky like a white rainbow and was fighting with a 12th-level master.

This 12th-level master is from the Iris Kingdom. His hair is sparse, but he is very strong. Feng Feifei relied on his flexibility and speed to barely restrain the opponent.

This man looked arrogant and was mumbling in Liris Mandarin. Unfortunately, Feng Feifei couldn't understand him at all.

The more he spoke, the angrier Feng Feifei became, especially with that superior look on her face, she wanted to strike him with a knife...

Originally, she was leading a team to explore the Nanyang Continent.

It is true that there is a war going on on the front line, but the Xia Nan Clan cannot do nothing but fight.

Other tasks still need to be done, such as exploring around and discovering lairs, heroic spirits, gold and silver mines, jade mines, gem mines, etc.

The frontline battles fell on Cen Lingxiao, Lu Boxiang, Master Fude and others, and other tasks naturally fell on her, Feng Feifei, Li Buyi and others.

Because strong men like Cen Lingxiao joined, the organizational structure of the Xia Nan clan has changed again, and Lu Boxiang's status has been raised. Although he originally commanded two major detachments, he was only nominally higher than Li Buyi and others. Just half a level.

Now, he has moved up half a level and no longer personally leads the northern and western detachments.

Together with Cen Lingxiao, who commanded the Eastern Detachment and the Southern Detachment, he became the giant of the Xia Nan Clan.

One of the two detachments is led by the newly joined 12th-level master, and the other is led by Professor Lu who has experienced a surge in strength.

The two major detachments are now assembled in the north. One part is directly committed to the front line, and the other part is stationed closer to the front line, rotating from time to time.

Not only the northern detachment and the western detachment, but also her southern detachment and Master Fude's eastern detachment have many people on the front line, and Master Fude is personally involved in the battle.

It can be said that Xia Nan clan's famous masters are either already on the front line, or are always ready to go to the front line to support them. The only two masters who are relatively free are her and Li Buyu, and Li Buyu has to take on the responsibility. The important rule of guarding the commander-in-chief and guarding the Xia Nan clan is not to move lightly.

Then the burden of leading the expedition and searching for resources would fall solely on her.

This time, the geological experts and ore experts in the team discovered a silver mine. Unexpectedly, before they could further confirm, Cheng Yaojin, the proud master of the Iris Country, led the expedition team in front of them.

She couldn't understand Liris Mandarin. Not only she, but also the experts in the team didn't understand Liris Mandarin, so the bald Western man chattered for a long time, but she didn't understand a word.

I didn't understand the words, but I could guess from the other party's expression and behavior that the other party wanted to say that the silver mine was discovered by the Iris Kingdom and to tell them to get out of here.

Can Feng Feifei tolerate such a violent temper? Without saying a word, they started fighting.
