Chapter 109: The Silverfish Wealth Gate Ingot (asking for monthly tickets!)
If one obtains the City God's seal, he will have the power over the underworld, and he is also the county magistrate and the Marquis of Baili.

Tian Chengbi suddenly became the lord of Taichang County.

Just as you bear the weight of the country, you also bear the blame of the country.

The City God took the initiative to open the Ghost Gate and abdicated the City God's throne because he did not want to live and die with the city. He wanted to escape into the secret realm and establish himself as the Ghost King.

Although Tian Chengbi sensed the power, he also felt the tragedy of "the mountains and rivers are broken and the catkins are blown by the wind."

The people in the city, even the dead souls, regarded him as their last straw.

The continuous deaths of people have accelerated the loss of luck, and the vitality of the entire city is declining.

He shouted loudly: "Ghost Gate! Close!"

Suddenly the gate to the Rakshasa Secret Realm closed!

Many demons screamed: "There is no going back!"

The City God was even more shocked and furious: "How could a territory master have such power? If I had known earlier, I would have killed you first, and there would be no need to worry about the problem of illegitimate position and unstable foundation!"

Song Wuji once again used fire to snipe, causing the psychologically weakened City God to be hit again.

However, Tian Chengbi ignored the City God completely. After closing the Ghost Gate, he was like an emotionless machine, instinctively looking for the optimal solution, taking into account the overall situation and the people in the city.

As he raised the agricultural tax token, he had previously used the existing laws, but now as the lord of the territory, he could issue new laws, which was the power of the Legalists: "Any evil spirit that enters the city, tramples on the people, damages the farmers and the fields, will be required to pay a hundred coins to pay the agricultural tax!"

This is forced taxation!

Suddenly, the laws began to flow, and the law turned into a dragnet, covering the entire Taichang City. Those demons who entered the city seemed to be caught in the law's net, and their spirits were suppressed! They could only exert 70% to 80% of their full strength.

How could they have any money? If they didn't pay, they would be considered "disregarding the law" and would be restrained by the county yamen runners.

Then Tian Chengbi raised the household registration token and issued the second decree: "Register all households and all people! Four households form a neighborhood, five neighborhoods form a group. Work together to defeat the evil spirits, just like slaughtering pigs and sheep!"

The people who gathered together suddenly formed an institution, becoming neighbors and protecting each other.

The neighborhood protection system means that the more people there are, the stronger the morale will be, and there will be no panic. They can also elect a "chief" as the backbone to lead the people to kill demons together, which is also called "slaughtering pigs and sheep", meaning don't be afraid, just treat the demons as pigs, sheep and animals and kill them.

Then he raised the Wuzu Order. This order came from the Tiger side, representing the army. Tian Chengbi said, "Issue the Taichang Military Order! From today onwards, anyone who kills a demon will be honored as a Feihou offering head sacrifice to the military, and can be a Wu infantry soldier! Anyone who kills three demon heads will be promoted to squad leader, and anyone who kills five demon heads will be promoted to sergeant!"

Suddenly, a lot of luck was consumed, but "what he said was what he said, and what he did was what he said" made the common people, as long as they killed monsters, they would receive rewards according to the ritual. Even in the Feihou Temple, it was shining brightly, which meant that it was recognized that not only killing ninth-grade monsters was considered as offering skulls for martial arts sacrifices, but killing enough low-grade monsters was also considered as offering skulls for martial arts sacrifices!

It's just that the luck is consumed very quickly. This luck is not like true energy or magic power that can be restored by eating. It can only be obtained by caring for the people's livelihood, protecting the land, farming and training soldiers, or conquering more secret realms.

In any case, Taichang County's fortune was always uncertain. However, heroes emerge in troubled times. Although Taichang County suffered a disaster, many outstanding people stood out, such as Song Wuji and Tian Chengbi himself.

After using up all three tokens, he should have stopped, but Tian Chengbi didn't stop. He took out the tiger talisman Song Wuji had given him and said, "County Lieutenant Chen Xiu, take the tiger talisman and become the commander of a hundred men!"

Song Wuji had this tiger talisman, which was only used to command 50 people. Unexpectedly, County Magistrate Tian forced him to use it, allowing him to command a hundred people in Taichang County.

Chen Xiu raised the tiger talisman: "Understood!"

Then he shouted loudly: "Follow me to kill the enemy!"

Immediately, the transformed warriors gathered. Although their weapons and equipment were different, and they looked like a motley crowd, they still formed a group! They were blessed by the law!

At this point, Tian Chengbi stopped and looked at the City God, who had no way out: "Aren't you awake yet?"

The City God howled, "What did I realize? I'm not wrong! What's wrong with transforming into a Rakshasa? There are only a few people left. Isn't becoming a demon a way to survive?"

He immediately went crazy: "Tens of thousands of ghosts! Ghost soldiers! Passing through!"

Suddenly, the sky was dark and the earth was dark.

But Song Wuji immediately interrupted him: "Baijia Kangning suppresses the evil situation!"

After Tian Chengbi issued the decree, the laws in the city were enforced, making the stove fire more stable!

"Suppress the evil!"

The flame, in the flame light, reveals a strange power!

It’s as intimidating as the arrival of the Fire King!

Those ghosts and demons all ran away in panic!

"It's burning! It's burning!"

The evil spirits screamed even more miserably, and the evil spirits in their bodies were like ice and snow meeting the warm sun, and were repelled by the bright power of the stove fire!
"Gather wages!"

Taking advantage of his good condition, Song Wuji borrowed 0.1 of the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit from each person who offered sacrifices to the Kitchen God.

Suddenly, the whole person's momentum was elevated, and the values ​​of the three treasures soared.

The flame also changed from an ordinary stove fire to one that looked like rocket fuel.

"wind!"

"fire!"

"Mountain!"

"Forest!"

Song Wuji transformed into a tiger again, but this tiger was wearing a Nuo mask and a divine flame ring on its back, as if it was the incarnation of a god in ancient mythology.

It’s like he couldn’t bear to see the human world turn into a devil’s land, so he came down to earth with the will of the Emperor of Heaven!

Drive away Xi who causes chaos and disaster.

Faintly, the flames carry not only the aroma of family reunion meals, but also the lively atmosphere of the sound of firecrackers.

There seemed to be children laughing and talking.

"Purge!"

"Corning!"

Flame Leap! Contagion!
Once it touched those demons, it was like lighting a fuse, and soon it spread to other demons. But these demons were all Rakshasas, all demons and monsters! They only liked evil and didn't like to see others having happy families!
They are like rats in the gutter, unable to stand the sunlight, regarding evil as good and ugliness as beauty, envying perfection and hating perfection.

"Fire Virtue Destiny!"

The City God sensed the divine nature within Song Wuji and immediately understood: "No wonder, no wonder I can't call your name. It turns out that you have also obtained the destiny!"

"If I had known it was you... I wouldn't have bothered with the county magistrate. After refining the Fire Virtue, I could also transform from a Yin God into a Yang God. Your stove fire... why didn't you offer it to me from the beginning?"

"You've harmed the people of this city!"

"You selfish person!"

"If you had given it to me earlier, none of this would have happened!"

"I can obviously save everyone!"

The City God's body was also ignited by flames, but his expression was still full of resentment: "I'm not wrong! I'm not wrong! The fault lies with you! Why don't you listen to me! Why don't you understand my difficulties! Why can't you let me become a seventh-grade cultivator first!"

"The consequences today are all your own fault!"

The flames could not burn away his paranoia, arrogance, and selfishness.

But it's finally over.

Song Wuji rushed forward and knocked the Ten Thousand Demons Umbrella off his head, while at the same time the stove was burning to burn away the evil in it!

He bit the City God's neck with his tiger's mouth, shook his head, and tore his head off!

All I saw was wooden frames, grass tendons, and a mud base.

Inside are stored grains, medicinal essences, copper coins, the Four Books and the Five Classics...

The City God looked at the thing exposed in his body and suddenly laughed wildly: "So, I'm not him! Not him! I'm just a clay figurine that looks like him!"

The wooden frame has been corroded by termites.

The Four Books and Five Classics have long been eaten by insects.

The twelve medicinal essences have become moldy and deteriorated.

The copper coins became rusty.

The grains turned into insect shit.

The clay figure was also riddled with holes, becoming a nest for pests.

The authority of God that he is obsessed with is like an illusion!

A clay doll can't even protect itself, how can it protect the people in the city?
He was an official in the past and became a god after his death.

But the official was promoted during his lifetime and later became a prime minister.

Even after death, the soul returns to its hometown and never comes here.

Building a statue in the ancestral temple may just be the people's wish, out of their obsession that he cannot be kept here as an official for long.

Originally, clay figurines were used to pray to gods and Buddhas. If they really worked, there would be no more poverty in the world. Until the demons and evil spirits invaded the world, this clay figurine finally came to life.

It starts with the human heart.

It is also because of human nature that people go crazy!
Died because of human heart.

This is because he has no self-centeredness, but rather many concerns, and being many-minded means having no heart.

The City God's figure was refined by the fire.

Tears of blood flowed from the clay figurines.

"I'm not reconciled!"

“But no regrets!”

Once he is completely refined to death, his magic will lose its effect.

The demons, deceived by the Rakshasa Ghost Bone and mistaking it for money, cursed: "He deceived us! He used fake money to fool ghosts! Damn it!"

He wanted to cause trouble, but was threatened by Song Wuji's stove fire!

The stove fire refined several things from the City God's body.

[The City God's Netherworld Remnant]
[Wealth Ingot]
[silverfish]
[Original divinity. Lower grade]*30
[Peace Incense]*100
In addition, there are several magical instruments and treasures that the City God himself has, such as the Death Register, the Rakshasa Ghost Bone Scale, the Weight, etc.

The City God and the remaining elements of the underworld were naturally absorbed by Song Wuji's stove grid.

But no one expected that even though he had already given up the position of City God, there was still some residual character in his body.

What is worth mentioning are actually [Bookworms] and [Wealth Ingots].

Woodworms: Confucians use literature to disrupt the law; knights use force to violate the ban; those who carry swords gather followers; those who are afraid of being controlled accumulate wealth in private houses; merchants and artisans repair and make shabby tools and accumulate wealth that is not worth spending. These five are all woodworms.

This article is from Han Feizi, which explains that Confucian scholars, warriors, knights, those who curry favor with the powerful, and industrial and commercial craftsmen are all termites that destroy the law.

The City God received too much incense from these five people, which led to his selfishness. In addition, worms appeared in his body, and they gathered together and turned into termites.

The Kitchen Book says that this item is a treasure from the underworld, and the ghost king and demon gods in the underworld like it.

Wealth Gate Ingot: Those who control wealth must pass the Wealth Gate. Only those who are not greedy can control good wealth. Greedy people will ultimately be devoured by bad wealth. Offering this ingot to the God of Wealth will earn you the ritual of the "Nine-Rank Good Wealth Boy."

"I don't even have the secret token for the Rakshasa Ghost Market. Looks like I have to go through it myself."

Song Wuji no longer cared about these things. He just watched from a distance the fight between the Luohu python and the tiger demon. However, he saw that the python could not break through the bronze body of the tiger demon. Although there is a truth that water can corrode gold and gold can produce water.

But the tiger demon had a pair of extremely sharp tiger soul swords, and anyone who got close to it would be doomed to death.

It’s a pity that he had an oath, otherwise Song Wuji would have gone to help the Luohu Python fight the tiger monster.
