Not a god

Chapter 152 The Power of the People

The old man has white hair and a white robe that flutters in the wind, and his silver beard hangs down like a waterfall in the moonlight. When he smiles, the shadow of a crane resides in the fine lines at the corners of his eyes. If you look closely, you can see that the mysterious Taoist charm is flowing around his body.

Guan Qingning knew that the old man's identity was probably not simple, but when he heard the old man call himself Jiang Shang, he was still shocked.

Jiang, Jiang Ziya?
Where did this old immortal come from?
If an old man suddenly appeared on the street and ran up to her claiming to be Jiang Ziya, would she, as the head of a law enforcement agency, believe him?

But whose car did he take? Even if the old man came to her and told her that he was Qin Shi Huang and asked her to pay him, she would have believed him.

Moreover, seeing that the Taoist priest from Shangqing Palace, who looked so ethereal just now, now looked extremely terrified, it was probably that he was done!

But the most important point is that she heard the old man say that he was entrusted by Mr. Guan...

It seems that uncle is indeed acquainted with these gods. In that case... She secretly glanced at the coffee shop owner who was watching the scenery nearby.

If that's the case, then this mysterious boss Chen is probably acquainted with my uncle.

Some speculations were confirmed, and Guan Qingning felt relieved.

The Lin family is just a microcosm. In the old days, the ancestors of those clans in their dreams have always been their imaginary enemies, and they were big enemies at that.

Although this big guy was indifferent to Mu Shousi, she felt more confident after knowing that her uncle was indeed connected with these big guys.

Taoist Priest Xuanyuan, who was standing by, also had no doubt about the old man's identity. When he heard that it was Old Master Jiang in person, he trembled as he was about to perform the etiquette of a disciple.

His junior fellow apprentice Taoist Xuanji and his two nephews, Qingluan and Qingfeng, saw their senior brother (uncle) showing such respect and followed suit. The people from the Minjiang Chamber of Commerce standing nearby were also smart and did not dare to disrespect the other party at all.

There was just one thing they found difficult to understand. If this [Jiangda Alliance] could really invite Jiang Ziya, who was deified three thousand years ago, why would they call them over?
Song Tiehan glanced over there in confusion, and saw that Director Chen, whom he favored and wanted to hire to their Chamber of Commerce, came over to this old man Jiang and then went away to smoke.

"Haha, it's our first meeting, and I didn't bring any gifts..."

As the old man spoke, he took out a stack of "The Book of Changes" from his arms and distributed one to everyone... The old man really preached to everyone he met.

Chen Xi didn't care much. He looked at the environment. It was beautiful with mountains and rivers, lush bamboo forests, and a bright starry sky. It was a nice scenery. He took a photo and sent it to Jiang Wanwan, and then grabbed Situ to ask about the situation.

Situ was very sensible and handed him a cigarette. After helping him light it, he also looked confused: "Chen, Brother Chen, where did you find this old immortal?"

"I met him on the road and he said it was on the way, so I gave him a ride."

"Stop it, Brother Chen. Is this really... the old man Jiang from the Conferred God List?"

Chen Xi couldn't help but laugh, teasing: "Don't you always make up stories about me, saying that I have magical powers and wild ways, and I can find connections to get people out even if I get into a fight and end up in the police station? Now Su Jiuer has fallen asleep, so I'm here to find someone to get her out."

Upon hearing this, Situ could only smile awkwardly.

Who wouldn't make arrangements for the leadership? On weekdays, Chen Xi gave everyone the impression of being the King of Hell, assigning piles of tasks. Who in the guild was not afraid of Director Chen? Who didn't complain a few words?

In fact, some people have speculated that Director Chen has a wide network of contacts, suspecting that he has connections with the destiny man of the old times, and that he also has a close relationship with the Mushou Division.

But we usually just play around with each other, but you're really serious? You're moving an old immortal who lived three thousand years ago?
Is this reasonable? !
Chen Xi interrupted before Situ could ask, "Don't ask so many questions. The old man came here for official business and wanted to get Su Jiuer out on the way."

He acted like he was just a driver and knew nothing. Even if Situ wanted to ask something, he just held it back.

After asking what they had figured out in the past half day, Situ repeated what Taoist Xuanyuan of Shangqing Palace had said to him. Chen Xi took a look.

Looking back, it was an abandoned temple.

The walls of the temple are painted with colorful oil paintings, and behind the altar is a clay statue.

One of the statue's eyes is empty, while the other is half-closed, showing no emotion whatsoever.

However, the moment he raised his head, even though it was clearly a clay statue, Chen Xi felt that something was meeting his gaze through the statue.

The feeling of eye contact was very faint and soon disappeared, but Chen Xi knew that someone was indeed looking at him through the statue.

Jiang Ziya came to take over the situation, and it was at this time that Guan Qingning received news from above.

"The commissioner has arrived. Jiangcheng Mushou Division will follow the commissioner's instructions."

"Hoho, you guys can go and do your work. Leave the evil corpse that is about to revive here to this old man."

Hearing this, Guan Qingning was stunned, and then an indescribable feeling of grievance and emotion surged in her heart.

Outsiders only know how powerful the Mushou Division is, but only she herself knows how difficult their Mushou Division is!
From time to time, there would be the revived Dragon King or mountain monster from some place; or some ancestor with at least the power of a king would appear in some family; even those forces with the power of a third-level public official were a headache for them.

Although everyone is wary of their official position and suspects that they are in control of, or have the support of, some incredible force.

Maybe there really are some, but they haven't revealed anything to them. Only they themselves know that these days they are just taking advantage of the power of others and pretending to be weak in front of those real masters!
However, at this moment, a Daluotian-level master appeared and said to her with a caring look, "Go and do your work, he will take care of anything here."

A sense of security, a complete sense of security!

She almost knelt down and hugged the boss's thighs, crying and asking, why did you come just now?
But she still held back, saluted, and led her men to evacuate.

Not only the Mussorial Office, but also people from the other three major guilds evacuated.

Chen Xi bought another cigarette from Situ for free and drove him away.

"Go down and help. Pingjiang County is full of evil corpses. If you can't defeat them, just run away... If you die in real life, you really die."

"Brother Chen, you..."

"I'll withdraw after Su Jiuer comes out."

"oh oh!"

"Brother Chen..."

Situ always felt something was wrong and asked cautiously, "Can you tell me something, Brother Chen, what is your real identity?"

Chen Xi seemed to be hesitant to speak: "Next time, Xiaoyu and I should not be alone in the office..."

The fate of the Eight Trigrams is so terrifying!
Situ didn't dare to stay for a moment, so he said goodbye and ran away.

Between the mountains and in front of the ruined temple, Chen Xi looked down at Pingjiang County. Half an hour ago, the Jiangcheng Mushou Division had issued a notice that all the volunteers who rushed to Pingjiang County tonight to provide support could go to the Pingjiang County Mushou Division branch to receive an evil soul.

If you kill an evil corpse, you can get ten evil souls.

To participate in the event, please log in to the official website of the Mushou Division and scan the QR code to register with your real name...

From six o'clock this afternoon to nine o'clock now, more than three hours, first the armed forces entered the city, then there was evacuation and the red alert, and now they are directly looking for volunteers from the public.

Anyone can see that Pingjiang County is bound to be in turmoil tonight and is full of dangers. Entering Pingjiang County at this time will be extremely dangerous.

However, all the journey of cultivation is about resources, as the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food… Tonight, hundreds of people with destiny poured into the small Pingjiang County.

Moreover, those who dare to come are either folk masters who are confident in their own abilities, or partners who usually team up together in the game. Group operations are safer.

Grab your lollipop: It’s Jiangcheng again... This place is really weird. I passed by it on a plane a few days ago and saw a woman standing at an altitude of 10,000 meters. She disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The people below replied to him.

Golden Little Puff: Is this true or not? What does a god look like?
Grab your lollipop: Hip skirt, black stockings, high heels...

Salt and Pepper Shrimp: You kid, the flight in your own bed, right? Leave the license plate number

Magic Star Aimee: You reminded me so late at night.

Grab your lollipop: Why would I lie to you? Everyone on the same flight saw it
But this is not the happiest thing. The comment sections of some internet celebrities or anchors who usually rely on the topic of "Tianmingren" for traffic are almost conquered.

There were a lot of comments from netizens below, "Please ask the anchor to join the fight!" "Kill one evil corpse and I'll give you ten carnivals." "Don't you usually brag about how awesome you are? Now you're playing dumb?"

Some of these internet celebrities simply closed the comment section, but some responded openly and said they would go to support immediately, including one with the ID 'Tianfu Zhao Xiaoyan - Jiangcheng No. 63 - Unique Skills for Moving Mountains'.

This person was one of the first to awaken, and reaped all the benefits. In three months, his number of fans has increased to over 8 million. He is also the representative of a certain district in the [Jiangda Alliance], and Chen Xi also knows him.

He simply posted a video, without any editing, and the setting was also at night. He said to the camera while walking:
"Brothers, I'm here to eat this little traffic. I'm going to tell you the truth today. Three months ago, I was a deadbeat, wasting my life every day. I only had 1500 yuan for living expenses from my parents and lived a loser life for three years in college.

Three months ago, because of this game called “Tian Ming Ren”, the anchor suddenly became a big shot, just like the protagonist in an online article, making tons of money, and having girls come to him in droves. It was like his life was turned on, and he suddenly went from being a loser to being the protagonist, haha…

Looking back, the world has changed so much in the past three months, and my life has changed so much, it’s like a dream. The host has actually been thinking that this game calls me a man of destiny, and this game has given me such an opportunity to change my destiny, there must be something waiting for me to accomplish ahead.

The Mu Shousi just informed me that I am very close to Nanjiang Street now. There is an underground garage over there with a lot of people trapped. The outside of the garage is occupied by a group of black bird monsters. The host is rushing over now. If he is alive, he will report the results tomorrow. Just do it!

Of course, my friends around me also told me that it was so dangerous and advised me not to go. However, this power made me the protagonist for three months. If I knew that someone needed me now, and I was still cowering and hiding in a corner, wouldn’t I become a loser again?

The anchor is here to be the protagonist today!"

Once the video was released, it immediately sparked public opinion.

Perhaps many of the people who came to Pingjiang County from all over Jiangcheng did not care too much about gains and losses, but rather felt a call of mission.

Of course, there are also some people who claim to be rational and act sarcastic online.

The clown in the eyes of a madman: This is not a game. In the game, if you die, you die. In reality... aren't you afraid of making money but not having a life to spend it? If you don't die, but lose your arms and legs and become disabled, it's more painful than death.

Kaiyunluo: What does my 3000 yuan monthly salary have to do with me? I don’t have a share in enjoying the world, but you want me to protect the world, right?

Xiao Fo's Big and Small Eyes: It doesn't matter, the country will take action [covering mouth and laughing]
The Internet has all kinds of people.

Although the Internet seems to be in turmoil, in fact most people are still very worried about the current situation in Pingjiang County. Comments of unknown origin will basically be destroyed as soon as they appear.

Tonight, people from all over the country, even those far away, are praying for Pingjiang County, and those nearby who can help are also lending a hand.

No one knows whether today's Pingjiang County will be the city where they will live in the future. Perhaps in their view, mutual assistance is also self-help.

Between the mountains and fields, a gust of mountain wind pressed down the bamboo sea behind him, blowing all the chaos, struggles, crying and shouting hidden in the prosperity of the city into Chen Xi's ears. The Yellow Crane Tower in his mouth was left with only a scarlet dot, and then it was extinguished in the night.

"Boss, the unclean wealth is indeed nearby, but it is in the dreamland, and I can't do anything about it even in the present world."

"Is there anything I need to do, old man?"

"The boss is really smart..."

"Old man, you've praised me all the way."

Chen Xi was a little speechless. This old man Jiang really praised people whenever he got the chance. He praised him for being kind-hearted when he saved two people, praised him for being smart when he avoided a congested road section in advance, and praised him for turning on the air conditioner well when the air conditioner in the car was cool.

Jiang Ziya looked at the huge city below with him, letting the mountain wind blow his hair and beard, and said leisurely: "Heaven-level evil corpses are also divided into innate sacredness and acquired sacredness. Let's not talk about the innate ones for now. The acquired heaven-level evil corpses are basically a thought in people's minds.

For example, impure wealth, according to the Vinaya Sutra, refers to wealth obtained through evil means, such as deception, exploitation, killing, stealing, adultery and lying, which pollutes people's beliefs and attachments.

Greed turns into blood rust on coins, anger is forged into sharp edges of gold ingots, stupidity refines cracks in jade, and every piece of impure wealth is a miniature hungry ghost, sucking on people's hearts and sucking away their clarity.

If he can bewitch one person to become his hungry ghost, his strength will be improved. If he can bewitch a thousand people, his strength will be the same as if he had eaten a thousand people.

However, there are differences between people. Some people in the world are of noble status, while others are poor and lowly. For unclean wealth, the effect of eating a person of noble status may be stronger than that of eating hundreds of thousands or even millions of ordinary people.

He is now trying to "eat" such a noble person. If he succeeds in bewitching that person, his strength will probably rise to an...immeasurable height."

Chen Xi looked at the ruined temple behind him and realized that the person who had just looked at him was probably the unclean fortune. He asked, "That person is Su Jiuer, right?"

"The boss is really smart."

"Is Su Jiuer a person of such noble status?"

“Noble and poor are just metaphors. To be precise, it is Ms. Su’s selfless and innocent heart.

Just like we, Beng, gained the power of the Heaven Beyond Heaven by making great aspirations, Evil Hai will also get corresponding "rewards" by deceiving those kind people with pure hearts. "
