The next moment, a tragic fog came and covered the entire vicious dog village. Suddenly, a group of vicious dogs rushed out of the tragic fog, and bursts of noisy dog barking rang out in the village. The vicious dogs living in the village seemed to have endless energy and kept barking.
Huang Dao nodded with satisfaction and called Taoist Qianhe over, asking him to pass on the order that no one was allowed to enter the vicious dog village without his order, lest they be eaten by the vicious dogs.
Of course, as long as Huang Dao is willing, he can let the vicious dogs identify who can be bitten and who cannot be bitten.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Huang Daogong!"
"Thank you so much, Mr. Huang Daogong!"
Just when Huang Dao was setting up the vicious dog village, he suddenly heard a series of rustling sounds of thanks. The sound did not sound like adults talking, but more like some babies babbling.
His heart moved, and he looked in the direction of the sound. His gaze passed through the main god's space and looked out from the Zodiac Temple on the official road.
All I saw were the flowers, plants and trees in the mountains near the Zodiac Temple swaying in the wind, as if they were dancing happily.
After being influenced by the previous rounds of strange fragrance, they have been blessed by heaven and earth, born with intelligence, and entered the ranks of demon cultivation.
This great opportunity made them sway with joy involuntarily.
They knew very well that this was a great opportunity bestowed by Mr. Huang Dao, so they all bowed to the Zodiac Temple without any prior arrangement, and sent out some mental waves intermittently to express their gratitude.
These little fairies have just been born with intelligence and cannot speak yet. They can only express their emotions by simply swaying the branches and trunks of trees.
They are still a long way from becoming monsters.
"These little guys have actually awakened their intelligence and become spirits!"
Huang Dao was slightly surprised, then chuckled. If this continued, these little elves of flowers, plants and trees would sooner or later become powerful.
By then, he will be able to recruit a group of goblins as his subordinates.
Now that he has achieved success, everyone around him has benefited.

Chapter 96: Faith Expansion, Master Ren Becomes Deputy County Chief, Maoshan Ming Burns Incense and is Arrested by Huang Daogong
provincial capital!!
In the courtyard rented by Ren Tingting, as the position of the Zodiac God was promoted, a strange fragrance filled the air, and the whole house was filled with fragrance. Just like water overflowing when it is full, the fragrance also overflowed from the courtyard and drifted into the distance.
Residents living nearby were warmed by the fragrance, and their daytime fatigue and the hidden injuries accumulated over the years were almost instantly healed.
They cried out for miracles.
Anyone who is not stupid can guess that the source of the miracle that happened to them must be the sudden strange fragrance.
They secretly speculated that the strange fragrance might come from some kind of treasure, and then they followed the fragrance excitedly to search for the treasure, and then they all found Ren Tingting's courtyard.
At this time, the gate of the courtyard had already been opened wide, as if welcoming guests from all directions, allowing people to enter and exit freely.
The residents who rushed over looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw this scene.
At this moment, Xiaolian came out of the yard and said with a smile: "Everyone, today is the day of Huang Daogong's blessing. You are blessed."
"What is Huang Daogong's blessed day?!"
The onlookers were completely confused.
"Don't you know that this strange fragrance is a blessing from the old man Huang Daogong? It can cure all diseases and strengthen the body."
Xiaolian spoke of the miraculous effect of the strange fragrance with reverence. Her family was deeply indebted to Huang Daogong. With his blessings time and time again, the whole family was strong and healthy, and all the acne left by their hard work in the past were gone.
So she was extremely grateful and respectful to Huang Daogong.
"Are you saying this strange fragrance is a miracle bestowed by Huang Daogong?!"
The nearby residents looked incredulous. As the lower class people, they would worship various gods during festivals, but they had never received any grace or blessing from the gods.
They have become accustomed to this situation and habitually burn incense and offer sacrifices during festivals and holidays, just like they do three meals a day.
Always.
But it has always been like this, right?!
It was the first time that they truly felt the blessing of God, and the God who bestowed the blessing had never accepted their offerings.
This made them feel dazed.
"This is certainly a blessing bestowed by Huang Daogong!"
Xiaolian repeated, then opened the door. "If you don't believe me, go to the main hall and see if the strange fragrance comes from the statue of Huang Daogong."
Seeing this, the onlookers naturally did not want to miss this opportunity and clamored to go in and worship Huang Daogong.
They didn't know Huang Daogong, and the purpose of doing this was to verify the authenticity of Xiaolian's words.
If it is really the blessing from Huang Daogong, then they will naturally be grateful and will spontaneously worship Huang Daogong without any publicity or promotion.
After all, not every god is so effective.
In this era, the upper class and intellectuals are promoting atheism, but the lower class people are still deeply influenced by their previous ideas and worship gods.
This is also the reason why cults were prevalent during the Republic of China period.
As long as any god has some effect, it will immediately attract a large number of fans.
Now, this kind of thing fell on Huang Daogong's head.
The crowd squeezed into the courtyard and saw Ren Tingting in the main hall sincerely bowing to Huang Daogong and respectfully offering incense to express her gratitude.
When the people looked at the altar, they saw that the statue of Huang Daogong on the altar was awe-inspiring without even being angry. Just one look at it made them feel shocked, as if all the evil in their hearts was exposed. They couldn't help but lower their heads in guilt and dared not look directly at Huang Daogong again.
However, it was at this moment that they finally confirmed that the strange fragrance was indeed wafting from the statue of Huang Daogong.
Now, as time goes by, it is gradually weakening and eventually dissipating into the air, leaving them feeling lost.
At this moment, Ren Tingting stood up from her kowtow, looked at the guests, and smiled sweetly, "Everyone, please allow me to introduce the kind-hearted Mr. Huang Daogong..."
Huang Dao was inspecting various territories. When he passed the provincial capital, he saw Ren Tingting actively helping him promote his faith by using this wave of strange fragrance. He nodded with satisfaction. It turned out that rewarding Ren Tingting with a statue and amulet that day was the right choice.
Let Ren Tingting be like a nail driven into the provincial capital. Over the years, it will gradually leave an indelible mark on the big tree of the provincial capital, and gradually expand its influence outward until the entire tree is shrouded in the glory of Huang Daogong's faith.
Huang Dao took a look at the situation in the provincial capital, and seeing that things were going well, he stopped paying attention and returned to Renjia Town.
He took a step forward, and with a flash of his body, he had left Renjia Town and was strolling across the fields and villages, like a lion king inspecting his territory, checking the safety within his jurisdiction.
……
The belief in Huang Dao is expanding in the provincial capital, and the belief in Renjia Town and the surrounding villages is also reaching a peak.
Huang Daogong's thunderous wrath destroyed the horse thieves, his subordinates captured the evil spirits, and a strange fragrance benefited the people overnight...
In just one day, Huang Daogong's miracles occurred one after another, causing a huge sensation throughout Renjia Town.
Led by the original believers, more and more people are worshipping the ancestral tablets and statues of Huang Daogong.
Huang Dao can infer how many households are offering sacrifices to him simply by looking at the jurisdiction information and daily merit points.
He believes that as the incident develops, this wave of belief will gain more support from the public.
In Renjia Town.
The county magistrate did not sleep all night and was extremely excited. With the blessing of Huang Daogong's strange fragrance, his body was unexpectedly healed, allowing him to regain his virility.
He has now changed from an atheist to a complete fan of Huang Daogong.
It's like an old Chinese doctor telling you that you have kidney deficiency, and you immediately retort that the old Chinese doctor is talking nonsense. But when the old Chinese doctor says he has a prescription to cure it, you will bow down and call him a miracle doctor.
This is the case with the county magistrate.
He learned from Master Ren that the Zodiac God would bless his followers from time to time, allowing them to cure illnesses and keep healthy. Moreover, if they served diligently and satisfied the Zodiac God, he would give them extra rewards.
Just like Mr. Ren actively helped Huang Daogong spread his faith, and was directly rewarded by Huang Daogong with a full warehouse of rice and a full basket of gold.
The county magistrate thought to himself, if he helped Huang Daogong spread his faith to the county and its subordinate towns, wouldn't he be rewarded even more by Huang Daogong?
And promoting the gods is just a small matter for him as the head of a county.
The more the county magistrate thought about it, the more he felt there was a chance. He glanced at Mr. Ren and told him the truth that he wanted to welcome Huang Daogong to the county town for worship.
Master Ren was pleasantly surprised and said, "County Magistrate, this is a good thing. It will allow Huang Daogong's glory to bless the people of the county. This is a great and virtuous act."
The county magistrate pondered for a moment, then said, "Brother Ren, we have a friendship that doesn't require formalities. I'd like to invite you to the county seat to serve as deputy magistrate, responsible for coordinating and managing the construction of a temple and ancestral hall for Huang Daogong. What do you think?"
"Become the deputy county magistrate!?"
Mr. Ren was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the county magistrate had such a plan. To be honest, with his current wealth and family background, he was already able to buy a position as a county magistrate.
However, when he heard that the county magistrate wanted him to help Huang Daogong spread his faith, he was excited.
After all, his base camp is in Renjia Town, which is under the jurisdiction of Xiangyin County. At the same time, Huang Daogong’s belief base is also in Renjia Town.
If he were to become the county magistrate of another county, wouldn't he be far away from his home base?
This is not okay.
Therefore, he was very interested in the county magistrate's proposal to make him the deputy county magistrate, and immediately discussed it with the county magistrate.
From the situation of the county town and the townships under its jurisdiction, to the promotion of Huang Daogong’s belief.
At this moment, the two of them had similar interests and had a great conversation.
The belief in Huang Dao became extremely popular in Renjia Town.
Baohe Village was no exception. The villagers were discussing Huang Daogong's miracles with great enthusiasm, looking proud of themselves.
Mao Shanming sat in the lobby of the inn, listening to the conversations of the diners around him, and was secretly amazed. He never thought that Huang Daogong was so magical. It made him want to worship a statue of Huang Daogong to get rid of bad luck.
He thought about it and felt that there was a chance.
When people are unlucky, they always think of praying to gods to change their luck.
He hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of rice, and brought a portion of rice for Dabao and Xiaobao. Then he went out to buy a handful of sandalwood, asked around, and went directly to the temple dedicated to Huang Daogong under the big locust tree at the entrance of Baohe Village.
Although Baohe Village has not yet built a Zodiac Temple, a small palace temple has already been built in the village for villagers to burn incense and pay tribute.
This is the situation in most villages under Renjia Town.
Only a few large villages such as Fugui Village are planning to build Zodiac Temples.
Huang Dao didn't care about it. It didn't prevent him from receiving offerings anyway. It didn't make much difference whether it was a Huang Dao Temple or a small palace temple.
Moreover, he also knew that building a temple in the countryside was the most cost-effective option.
After all, building a large temple is a huge project, which is time-consuming and costly, and it also requires maintenance afterwards, which is very troublesome.
· ·········Request flowers···· ········
This kind of thing is only suitable for towns or wealthy villages like Fugui Village. Other ordinary villages can just build temples to worship, and there is no need to do any face-saving projects.
What Huang Dao wants is practical benefits, not vanity.
“There are so many people!?”
Mao Shanming brought offerings and sandalwood to the temple and saw that the temple was bustling with people and the villagers were enthusiastically burning incense to Huang Daogong.
He was amazed by the scene of such prosperity.
He had only seen this kind of situation in large temples, and he never thought that a small palace or temple could have such a grand occasion.
This indirectly reflects that Huang Daogong is indeed very effective, his belief has penetrated into the hearts of the people, and he is revered by the people of Baohe Village from the bottom of their hearts.
Mao Shanming, feeling like a pilgrim, squeezed in front of the palace temple, placed his offerings, lit the sandalwood incense, and bowed, muttering softly: "God Huang Daogong, I hope you will bless me with great fortune and keep bad luck away from me."
He looked at the majestic statue of Huang Daogong in the temple, his heart trembled, he bowed devoutly, and then inserted the sandalwood into the incense burner.
“Bless, bless, bless!!”
He clasped his hands together and prayed repeatedly until he was urged to do so, then he reluctantly got up and left.
He took the offerings and strolled around Baohe Village, asking about the local customs and practices, so that it would be easier for him to cheat people next.
It was not until the evening that he came back, ate a few mouthfuls of food in a hurry, and then prepared to go to bed.
..... ..... ....
It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Suddenly, a cold wind blew, chilling people to the bone. Mao Shanming, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up, only to see a row of black-clad ghosts with stern faces appearing in front of him, staring at him.
"Yin, Yincha!?"
He was so scared that his eyes bulged out, his whole body trembled, and he almost fainted.
When the ghost saw Mao Shanming wake up, he immediately asked seriously: "Are you Mao Shanming!?"
