Chapter 57【Activation】

Taoist priests are not gods. They can only obtain the power to use magic by worshiping some gods who are willing to accept offerings.

However, Chen Sheng pretended to be a god and created a fake god that did not exist, so that the panel could help him bypass the relevant restrictions and become a Taoist priest who could bestow magic on himself.

"It's good not to have a boss looking after me. I can foresee that as long as I can take over this world, with the support of the whole world, I will have a rich list of divine arts, and the power of my divine arts will become extremely powerful."

Chen Sheng understood all the abilities of the Taoist profession in his mind, and began to meditate with his eyes closed under the dry well.

While silently absorbing the power of the incense, he felt his exhausted Yin Spirit, which had previously performed a large-scale illusion for more than 20,000 people, being nourished bit by bit by the warm incense.

While performing the water mirror technique in the copper basin placed in front of him, he watched the county magistrate, the powerful people and the witch discussing matters in the county government office, listened to their conversation, and waited quietly.

Time passes and the moon rises to its zenith.

It was not until those people had finished their discussion and dispersed from the county government gate that Chen Sheng, who was full of energy, woke up at the same time.

"As I expected, as long as you are determined to defeat me, you will go home tonight to gather your men.

You dare to divide your forces before the battle, which gives me the opportunity to defeat them one by one."

Chen Sheng looked down into the copper basin and saw that the hall of Pingxiang County was bustling with activity.

At this time, the county magistrate was sitting upright on a chair, correcting official documents on the desk with a pen in his hand, while the witch was squatting under the desk, mumbling something. Both of them were working very hard.

"Very good. You two have the least people around you, so catching you first should cause the least noise."

Chen Sheng smiled faintly and shook the nine-section staff beside him.

jingle!

As the bells rang softly, a gust of cold wind blew by, dropping the yellow talismans to the ground.

Dozens of Yellow Turban strongmen who had been hiding here for a long time opened their scarlet eyes at the same time, and climbed towards the wellhead stiffly and clumsily one by one.

Then he slammed the nine-section staff to the ground.

Woo~
The wind was howling in the dry well and ghosts were crying. Immediately, hundreds of ghost soldiers rushed out from the bamboo sticks and, led by five ghost leaders, pounced into the image transformed by the copper basin.

In the lobby of the county government office, the county magistrate, who had been staying up late to write official documents, was already feeling hot due to his hard work and wanted to talk it out.

The period before the future is truly the blissful state in life, and the county magistrate will usually deliberately suppress his qi and blood and enjoy it for a moment.

Unexpectedly, a cold wind suddenly blew into the lobby today.

The wind was so cold that it made his spine numb and he felt a little out of control of his blood circulation. Frightened, he quickly held the witch down.

Ah!
This accident came extremely suddenly. The joyful experience of being startled and shocked was so intense that people couldn't help but indulge in it. The county magistrate even closed his eyes and concentrated on savoring it.

As a result, he did not notice that a layer of frost suddenly appeared on the ground in the lobby, and at the same time, footprints on the frosty ground were approaching him quickly.

As a result, numerous ghost soldiers that were invisible to the naked eye pounced on the two people, one squatting and one sitting, very smoothly.

"hiss--"

The ghost shadows passed through his body one after another, causing the county magistrate and the witch to gasp at the same time.

It was as if even the bone marrow deep within their skeletons had been sucked away, and the extreme emptiness of their bodies almost sent them straight to heaven.

The two men's martial arts skills were far inferior to Zhao Cheng's. The county magistrate was a marginal figure from a large family who had barely become the county magistrate with the support of his family when he was in his forties. The witch was a cousin who rose to power by entertaining people with her beauty. They could not withstand the devouring of the ghosts at all.

Seeing that only half of the ghosts had received their blood and energy, the two were already on the verge of death. Suddenly, a bell rang in the air, forcibly ending the feast.

This caused the ghosts, which had not yet had time to eat their fill, to roar loudly, transforming into a cold wind that howled endlessly in the lobby of the county government office.

Seeing this, Chen Sheng snorted coldly and continued to shake the bell. The ghosts were unwillingly taken away by the nine-section staff and disappeared on the spot.

then.

Two golden tight hoops appeared out of thin air and fell from the sky into the heads of the county magistrate and the witch.

That's how we control them.

After finishing the deed, Chen Sheng didn't care how ugly the two people would look if they were discovered by others, with their bodies frozen in wisps of ice, their clothes in disarray, and their bodies stiff in the hall.

He then used the Water Mirror Technique to move the field of view and locked his sights on the second target.

Although Chen Sheng's Water Mirror Technique had just reached a minor level of success and could not be used to perform Taoist magic from a distance of a hundred miles, the range of his magic was more than enough to cover the county town within a few miles.

Moving the mirror image two streets west, one can see the Huang family, the most powerful family among the powerful families in Pingxiang County.

At this time, the head of the Huang family was riding on a tall horse, fully armored, carrying a bow and a sword. Behind him, in addition to his two children, there were hundreds of his men who were also riding horses.

The moonlight was like water, and the horse team marched slowly on the only stone road in the county, making a ticking sound.

"Father, are we still going to be the vanguard this time and help the county magistrate to defeat Zhang Shou?"

"This river god sacrifice was originally proposed by the county magistrate and the witch. This adulterous couple contributed the least, yet they colluded and embezzled nearly 60% of the wealth.

Our Huang, Zhao, Wang, and Li families contributed the most manpower and effort, but we can only share the remaining 40% of the wealth equally.

We have all been to Zhangjiabao. It is not a easy place to fight. It would be great if we can win a great victory this time.

If any of the troops at home are damaged, I am afraid it will be a losing business."

Listening to the advice of his two children, Huang Shiren, who was in the lead, sighed slightly in his heart and explained patiently.

"Do you think I'm a fool? I only know how to kneel and say yes before Baili Hou.

This is the general trend and we have no choice but to do it.

Our Pingxiang County has declined. We haven't had an official with a salary of more than 1,000 shi for forty or fifty years, and there is no one in the court.

Even though the county magistrate is just a middle-aged lecher with little martial arts skills, as long as the Yanhan Dynasty survives, the county magistrate has the righteous status of being the head of a county, and the local tyrants in Pingxiang must listen to him.

If they disobey discipline, they may suffer financial loss at best and even the extermination of their clan at worst.

So you must remember that if you want to live happily in the Han Dynasty, you must be an official, and you must be a high-ranking official."

Having said that, Huang Shiren sighed and suddenly turned the subject back to Zhang Shou.

"But Zhang Shou is different from the county magistrate; he takes a different path.

Just looking at how he founded a sect, distributed money and won the hearts of the people in just a few years, you can tell that he is a person who can accomplish things on his own.

How can a golden scale stay in a pond? It will turn into a dragon when it encounters wind and clouds.

"I, your father, have high hopes for Zhang Shou and even considered marrying him half a year ago, but he refused without knowing what was good for him."

As if recalling the scene at that time, Huang Shiren suddenly snorted coldly.

"The county magistrate is a temporary official, he will leave after causing trouble for a few years, but Zhang Shou is a tyrant.

Pingxiang County is too small, so we must strike first before it becomes bigger.

Otherwise, when he becomes powerful, there will be no place for us in Pingxiang anymore."
