Chapter 108 The City Gods of Ten Prefectures, the Envoy of Jiangnan Dao Lingjian!

After going through many battles, he finally made such a great name in Jiangnan.

The fertile land of Shinto created by Jia Cong finally bore fruit at this moment.

After two thousand incense sticks condensed!
Shinto Dharma transformation!

More majestic and powerful!
Among the Shinto seals.

The position of the City God of Daxing County, which was originally ranked first, began to decline.

Above it, the illusory priesthood condensed at the same time!

[Hunting on behalf of God, rewarding the good and punishing the evil! ]

[The seventh-rank Daxing County City God was promoted to the Yangzhou Prefecture City God, and also the Changzhou and Suzhou City God…]

A moment later, ten priesthoods gathered at the same time!
A seventh-rank clergyman!
Yangzhou Prefecture, Changzhou Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, Songjiang Prefecture, Jiaxing Prefecture, Huzhou Prefecture, Hangzhou Prefecture, Shaoxing Prefecture, Ningbo Prefecture!

There are a total of ten prefectures in Jiangnan, and each has a City God!

The priesthood is granted by heaven and earth.

If it were a world where Shintoism was prosperous, the city gods, land gods, and mountain gods would all have their own jobs.

It is a big taboo for Shintoism for any deity to preach across borders.

But in this world, let alone the innate gods, even the acquired gods are included.

There was only Jia Cong.

First, they sold salt at a low price, and then they leased large tracts of land in the south of the Yangtze River at a low price.

This brought Jia Cong’s prestige among the common people in Jiangnan to its peak.

When the temple was being built, a subtle reminder was made that this was the order of Marquis Zi Yi, and the effect was simply too good to be true.

Even if someone finds out, it won’t matter in the short term.

Apart from the White Lotus Cult, within the territory of Daqian, that’s just on the surface.

There are also several sects in Buddhism such as Longhushan, which also have similar methods of using incense to assist in cultivation.

However, its utilization rate of incense is not even one-tenth of that of Shinto.

Ordinary people would only think that Jia Cong was a genius and was preparing to practice another skill.

The faith spread throughout the ten prefectures and was recognized by heaven and earth.

He is a seventh-rank clergyman, but he also serves as the City God of ten prefectures!
In a sense, this can be considered a bug in the world!

The space within the Shinto seal suddenly increased tenfold.

Looking around, there is a vague feeling of vastness.

Center of space.

Hundreds of clergy are shining brightly!

Among them, the ten city gods are the brightest.

Above the ten city gods, an illusory god was faintly gathering.

Appearing and disappearing.

It says on it.

Jiangnan Dao Ancha Lingjian Envoy (Sixth Rank)
However, it was also because Jia Cong’s faith spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River that the sixth-rank priesthood was born ahead of time.

Originally, he was a seventh-rank priest, and could only exert the top strength of the third realm.

But now that he has this illusory sixth-rank priesthood.

With this divine power, Jia Cong can burst out the strength of the early fourth realm.

This is just one of the obvious benefits.

The potential benefits are even greater.

The cohesion of the divine office means that with the approval of heaven and earth, Jia Cong has the highest authority in Jiangnan!
Even beyond the royal authority.

Within the deity’s own territory, the gods are blessed by heaven and earth, everything goes smoothly, and they seek benefits and avoid harm.

……

Under the ten city gods.

They are the city gods of the eight counties.

The leader was the City God of Daxing County before Jia Cong.

The remaining are seven counties in Jiangnan.

This was because Shinto beliefs had just spread, and only believers in seven counties had reached the threshold to give rise to the position of county city god.

In the future, the number of devout believers will continue to increase.

It won’t be long before all the county seats in Jiangnan will give birth to a county city god.

Further down, there are the gods of mountains, land, rivers, etc., ranging from the ninth rank to the ninth rank.

There are more than 200 of them.

This is one of the great powers possessed by the City God of a Seventh-Rank Prefecture.

The subordinate gods of the seventh-rank county city god can only be treated as decorations when they become the prefectural city god.

Then you can confer titles on the gods under your command.

Jia Cong had an idea.

Hundreds of ghosts emerged from the Shinto seal.

All the spots on their bodies, big or small, were glowing with a faint golden light.

This golden light is merit! It is the most important condition for being canonized as a god!
In a world with a complete Shinto system, the underworld and reincarnation are complete.

If one accumulates merits during one’s lifetime, and one has accumulated small merits, one will be reincarnated after death and enjoy the rewards in the next life.

Those with great merits can be granted titles by the gods and ghosts in the underworld according to their merits.

However, there is no underworld and reincarnation in this world. People with good deeds can prolong their time in the world after death.

That is Yin Shou.

It will not dissipate until the merits are exhausted.

During Jia Cong’s trip to quell the rebellion, in addition to collecting a large number of evil spirits, he also collected these ghosts with good deeds.

I had already had some vague guesses about the enthronement of gods.

That’s why I have been collecting it secretly.

The Shinto seal shook slightly three times.

Hundreds of divine lights fell.

Scenes unfolded in Jia Cong’s mind!

Only this time, the scroll no longer shows the ghost’s life.

But it is a picture of him doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.

【Accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and your merits will be rewarded. Qian Sanxing is appointed as the landowner of Xiaolijia Village, Changshu County, Suzhou Prefecture, Jiangnan Road (ninth rank)! 】

【Accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and your merits will be rewarded. I decree that Zhang Tiansheng is the mountain god of Xiaoyun Mountain in Rugao County, Yangzhou Prefecture, Jiangnan Road (from the eighth rank)! 】

【Accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and your merits will be rewarded…】

Brilliant and majestic voices rang out in Jia Cong’s mind.

When the divine light dissipated, the ghosts in front of him had turned into gods.

The ghost is conferred a deity after death, and its position belongs to the acquired gods.

The strength varies according to the grade.

Like the weakest from the ninth rank of land, he only has the strength of entering the second realm.

The seven most powerful county gods have the strength to enter the third realm.

The acquired gods are in charge of one side.

He cannot move freely like Jia Cong, an innate god.

But it is of far-reaching significance.

Jia Cong can get five points from the incense offerings.

It seemed that Jia Cong’s followers were divided up in a short period of time.

In fact, no matter how powerful Jia Cong is, he is unable to handle everything at once.

The rate at which believers increase is completely different in places where there are acquired gods and in places where there are no acquired gods.

Believers in God are also believers in Jia Cong.

Moreover, no matter whether it is the City God or the Land God, they can develop according to the total amount of incense offerings from believers.

Appoint ghost soldiers as assistants.

In the future, as more and more believers come, a complete Shinto system will be formed in the entire ten prefectures of Jiangnan.

Every village has its own land, every stream has its own river god, and every county has its own city god.

This is the most important foundation of Jia Cong’s envisioned kingdom of God on land.

Shinto’s orders were issued more quickly and effectively than those of the dynasties.

“We greet the Lord!”

After accepting their new identities, the gods hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

Among the seven county city gods, there is Liu Cunshan, the prefect of Qingzhou who died in battle and is now the city god of Wujiang County, Suzhou Prefecture.

Just entered the third realm of strength.

……

“You sit in charge of a place, drive out evildoers, protect the country and the people, and accumulate merits!”

“Don’t slack off!”

Jia Cong gave some instructions and a lecture, then asked all the gods to go to their fiefdoms to take up their posts.

Develop believers, accumulate meritorious ghosts, and eliminate evil spirits to enfeoff ghost soldiers to increase your strength.

These three things are the most important to all the gods in Jiangnan.

“Sister Bao!”

After all the ghosts and gods went to take up their posts, Jia Cong thought for a moment.

He shouted softly to the outside of the door.

“Cong’er, are you done?”

When Baochai came in, she was only separated from the house by a wall, so she could sense what was happening in the house.

But he didn’t say more.

Baochai has always trusted Jia Cong wholeheartedly.
