Zombie World, I am a wild god in Renjia Town

He asked Wencai and Qiu Sheng to bring the ink rope, and then instructed them to tie the necks of all the horse thieves' corpses with the ink rope to lock their souls and prevent them from returning to the spirit world.

"Master, why don't you just burn it?"

Qiu Sheng wrapped the ink line around the horse thief's neck and tied a beautiful bow, his face full of confusion. According to his understanding of his master, such a dangerous corpse would definitely be burned directly to put an end to it.

Uncle Jiu sighed, "Master Ren and the others said we have to wait for the county's decision."

"Master, don't worry. This is Renjia Town, a territory protected by Huang Daogong. If this group of horse thieves dare to return to the spirit world, I guarantee that they will be beaten to ashes by Huang Daogong."

Wencai is full of confidence.

It’s just that he is not confident in himself, but confident in Huang Daogong.

"That's true."

Uncle Jiu nodded. There was a statue of Huang Daogong enshrined in the yamen, and there were security guards guarding it. Theoretically, there wouldn't be any major trouble.

But he always felt uneasy, as if something ominous was going to happen.

"Maybe I'm worrying too much."

Uncle Jiu shook his head, not giving it any more thought, and directed Wencai and Qiusheng to work, while simultaneously checking each horse thief's binding with the ink rope to prevent any accidents.

Chapter 89: One Million Incense Value, County Magistrate’s Visit, Celebration Meeting, Uncle Nine’s Birthday

Dang, Dang, Dang! !

As the sun rises, the whole town of Renjia Town is filled with the sounds of gongs and drums, firecrackers, dragon and lion dances, and a joyous atmosphere.

At the call of Master Ren, the townspeople sharpened their knives, slaughtered pigs and sheep, prepared the three sacrificial animals, and then marched to the Huangdao Temple in a mighty procession to fulfill their vows.

At the call of their respective gentry, the surrounding villages were also grateful to Huang Daogong for helping them quell the horse bandit disaster. They came in groups of three or four to burn incense in their free time.

At this time, some cunning villagers had already arrived in the Huangdao Temple to burn incense and ask for good luck.

Master Ren and his men arrived with a large force, filling the Huang Dao Temple to the brim. They offered the three kinds of animals, then lit sandalwood incense and bowed with sincerity, saying, "Master Huang Dao, thanks to your great blessings, we have successfully wiped out the bandits. We have come here to burn incense and thank you for your kindness."

Huang Dao sat upright on the altar, looking at the bustling crowd outside with a satisfied smile. If nothing unexpected happened, he would receive another large amount of incense money.

Although his Huangdao Temple was very popular in the past, not everyone would come to burn incense every day, and most of the time, incense was burned by one person at home.

Therefore, the incense value is relatively small.

Currently, about 50,000 incense points are received every day.

The scene before him, where tens of thousands of people from Renjia Town and surrounding villages came together to burn incense and fulfill their vows, could bring him countless income from incense offerings.

"Ding, incense value +90!"

"Ding, incense value +70!"

"Ding, incense value..."

After Mr. Ren and his group of gentry had burned incense and offered sacrifices, other people immediately flocked in to burn incense.

Huang Dao was invigorated as he listened to the wonderful system prompts. He analyzed the incense values and found that the incense values provided by the people who came to burn incense were generally no less than fifty.

This means that his religious foundation in Renjia Town and the surrounding villages is already very solid, and the people generally have a very good degree of faith in him.

He was very satisfied with this, and felt that all his hard work was worthwhile.

Now is the time to reap the benefits.

"Ding, incense value +80!"

"Ding, incense value..."

This feast of incense lasted until the evening before it finally ended.

Huang Dao estimated that within the next two days, more people would come to burn incense and fulfill their vows, bringing him more incense points.

"system!"

He sat in the Zodiac Temple, watching the incense smoke curling up from the incense burner, and contentedly called up the system panel:

【Merit and Incense Becoming God System】

Host: Zodiac

Identity: God of Land

Rank: Seventh Rank Merit and Incense Body (+)

Lifespan: ***

Supernatural powers: divine power, qi reading, dream entry, exorcism, tranquility, earth travel, circular light, control of objects, and access to the depths of the dark…

Jurisdiction: Huangdao Temple, Renjia, Yizhuang, Renjia Town, Zhenhun Street...

Merit value: 4167

Incense value: 1527310

Evaluation: A local lord who is not well-known and has just entered the bottom of the society!

Huang Dao looked at his incense value, which was a full 1.5 million. He was greatly encouraged. The incense value he received today alone was about 1 million.

It gave him the trance-like feeling of a poor man who had suddenly become rich.

Unlike in the past when evil creatures like Old Master Ren and Western zombies only threatened a few places, this time the horse thieves affected the entire Renjia Town and the surrounding villages. Everyone was in a state of anxiety, fearing that the horse thieves would come and kill people, set fire, and massacre the village and destroy the town.

Once the horse bandits were eliminated, all threats were immediately eliminated, allowing them to feel at ease.

Therefore, they were extremely grateful to Huang Daogong for helping them solve the problem of horse thieves and bandits, and came to burn incense with their elders and children, hoping that Huang Daogong would continue to bless them with smooth sailing and peace.

This is also the reason why the incense value has skyrocketed so much.

At this moment, Zodiac is like Ultraman Tiga in the final battle, and everyone is willing to give him the light of hope.

After all, he actually protected the lives and property of everyone in the town.

The people have truly realized this, and their faith in the Zodiac has become more solid and loyal.

"This time I can finally advance to the next level of godhood~"

Huang Dao looked at the flashing + sign in the rank column with joy, which meant that he had accumulated enough incense points to be promoted to the status of a god.

He thought for a moment and suppressed his desire for promotion.

He planned to wait until nightfall when the people who worked outside would return home to rest before making the promotion.

In this way, the strange fragrance brought by his promotion can be fed back to his believers, which is equivalent to a blessing, thereby increasing the believers' faith in him.

This free opportunity to increase the faith of believers should not be wasted.

……

While Huang Daoqing was counting the incense, Renjia Town also welcomed a major event.

The county magistrate personally visited Renjia Town for inspection!

It doesn't take much thought to know that the county magistrate came here because of the horse thieves.

This group of horse thieves from western Hunan were rampant in the Xiangyin area, killing people and looting goods, causing chaos and panic among the people.

As the county magistrate, he was scolded by his superiors for this and almost had to pack up and resign.

Fortunately, good news came at this time. This group of horse thieves who no one could control were finally caught in Renjia Town.

The local militia of Renjia Town set up traps and ambushes, and finally wiped out the horse bandits in one fell swoop.

Congratulations!!

The county magistrate was overjoyed, knowing that he could keep his official position.

So, after receiving the news, he immediately brought his confidants and a team of people to inspect and confirm the authenticity of the news, for fear that someone would lie about military intelligence and make it impossible for him to report to his superiors.

“The County Governor is here!!”

Mr. Ren and a group of gentry were waiting at the town entrance, looking anxiously. Soon, they saw a figure rushing back on the official road and shouting loudly.

This was the spy they sent out to find out the whereabouts of the county magistrate.

“Bang the gong, beat the drum, and blow the trumpet!!”

Mr. Ren immediately directed the band to play music to welcome them. Immediately afterwards, the noisy sounds of gongs and drums and the sharp blasts of trumpets rose and fell one after another, as if it were a landlord's wedding and was extremely lively and exciting.

Some people even held up banners that read "Welcome the County Mayor to visit Renjia Town!"

This series of actions was well-organized and did not cause any gossip.

As the sound of gongs and drums rang out, a group of people and horses appeared in the distance on the official road. They surrounded a carriage and headed towards Renjia Town.

This team of people, like the Renjia Town Security Team, wore military uniforms of the Republic of China and were equipped with rifles.

Of course, there is little difference in terms of untidy military appearance and lax discipline.

It was just that the Renjia Town Security Team had just won a battle, and they were in high spirits and in high spirits. They looked even more elite than the county police force.

The team soon arrived at the town entrance.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a middle-aged man with a wealthy figure and dressed in brocade came out and got off the carriage with the help of servants.

This person is the county magistrate of Xiangyin County.

Mr. Ren's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to greet him with a warm smile, "Mr. County Governor, welcome to our Renjia Town for inspection."

"Brother Ren, we are so familiar with each other, there is no need to be so polite."

The county magistrate laughed heartily and shook Mr. Ren's hands without any awkwardness, as if they were old friends.

In fact, Mr. Ren did know the county magistrate. Renjia Town was under the jurisdiction of Xiangyin County and was very prosperous, and was considered a piece of fat meat in the eyes of outsiders.

As the local tyrant of Renjia Town, the Ren family had no choice but to make connections and build up networks in order to ensure their own interests in Renjia Town.

Therefore, the relationship between Mr. Ren and the county magistrate is indeed quite familiar.

Speaking of which, if Mr. Ren wanted to be the county magistrate, he could actually do it.

During the Republic of China period, the practice of selling official positions and titles was very prevalent, especially for the position of county magistrate, whose price was almost fixed and anyone with a little money could buy him.

According to the current market conditions, the mayor of a first-class county is worth seven or eight thousand taels of silver, a second-class county is worth five or six thousand taels of silver, and a third-class county is even lower, and can be bought for only three or four thousand taels of silver.

Xiangyin is located in the Dongting Lake area and is under the jurisdiction of Changsha City. It has busy shipping and prosperous business, and is a first-class county town.

In order to become the county magistrate of Xiangyin County, in addition to establishing connections with higher-ups, one must also spend tens of thousands of dollars on purchasing goods.

However, it is easy to become a county magistrate, but it is difficult to keep the position.

During the Republic of China period, county governors changed frequently, and many of them had to pack up and leave within less than a year of their term, without making any profit at all.

The Ren family was in dire straits at the time, so Mr. Ren never considered the position of county magistrate.

But things are different now. With the blessing of Huang Daogong, their Ren family is thriving and becoming more prosperous.

Mr. Ren was thinking about whether he could expand the influence of the Ren family and extend its tentacles into other regions.

He had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he kept a smile on his face as he dealt with the county magistrate.

The two men exchanged pleasantries, practiced Tai Chi, and walked into the town chatting and laughing.

Master Ren said with a smile, "County Governor, we have already set up a banquet at Qingfeng Tower to welcome you."

"No need to spend so much money."

The county magistrate waved his hand and said with a smile, "I heard that the town is holding a big banquet to reward the local militia who fought against the bandits this time!?"

"true."

Master Ren nodded and acknowledged it.

"In that case, there's no need to bother going to Qingfenglou for dinner. As the head of a county, I should celebrate with these brave men who have made great contributions in fighting the bandits."

A shrewd glint flashed in the county magistrate's eyes.

Master Ren and the others exchanged glances, then complimented him, "Your Excellency the County Governor enjoys the company of the people. This truly exemplifies the demeanor of a renowned official from ancient times. We admire you."

The county magistrate laughed and asked Mr. Ren to lead the way and take him to the yamen to see the body of the horse thief.

Mr. Ren did not dare to delay. In front of the onlookers of the town residents, he led the county magistrate and his entourage to the yamen to check it out.

At this time, the square in front of the yamen was already bustling with activity. Tables, chairs and benches were set out, and the iron pot on the side of the road was steaming. The chef was waving his spatula and frying the food with a clanging sound. The aroma of meat filled the air, making the people helping him drool.

“…” Really good! !”

When the county magistrate saw this scene, he nodded approvingly and then followed Mr. Ren to the yamen.
