"A little god, nothing worth mentioning."

 As Qiu Yan spoke, he took a closer look at the gods in front of him. Although he possessed the clay sculpture and was born as a god, he was trapped in a corner. This was the first time he saw other gods.

 The land in front of him was dressed in earthy yellow silk and satin. Not only was he short in stature, his face was also very strange. His nose and mouth were protruding, and there was a big bulge, but Qiu Yan did not feel out of place.

 In this world, Shinto is prosperous, and wherever there are some popular settlements, there will be land gods born.

 The land is only for one area, ensuring peace and tranquility. It is in charge of the household registration of the deceased. It seems ordinary. It is the base level among the gods. Most of them are seventh-grade gods, but it is extremely important. The land in the countryside is also in charge of the fertility of the fields and the growth of all things. , The prosperity of grains is related to the survival and well-being of the people.

 Generally speaking, the land can communicate with the underworld and is subordinate to the city god of the place.

 Above the land gods, there are big lands, mostly in the big cities of Fuzhi. For example, the short land god in front of Qiu Yan is one of them. Although he is only in charge of the south of the city, he is ranked as a sixth-grade god.

 Qiu Yan has been trapped in a mountain temple for decades. Although he has not seen other gods with the seal on his palm, the seal has its own mysteries, which allows the gods to understand themselves, so that they know that the gods have different positions and each has their own level.

 When the gods meet, apart from worshiping the wild gods, they can feel each other's divine character. That's why the earth god will easily show up and treat each other with courtesy.

 Listening to Qiu Yan's vague words, the earth god frowned slightly and was about to say more, but suddenly he was stunned, his eyes widened, and he glanced at Qiu Yan from top to bottom, and took a breath: "Psychic crystal clear , Not stained by dust, is this brother a born god?”

 He had a look of shock on his face, and regardless of his original intention, he asked eagerly.

 "Born a god? What does this mean? The crow demon also mentioned it before. Could it be that there are different types of gods? Is this a rare species?"

 Thinking in his mind, Qiu Yan asked the questions in his heart.

 "Brother, you don't know? Then why do you follow this scholar?" said the land in the south of the city, pointing to the flesh and blood clone sleeping soundly on the bed beside him.

 "This scholar..." Qiu Yan was startled for a moment, and then changed his mind, "I was born in the mountains, and I gave this scholar a few words of advice, which saved him from the disaster of flesh and blood. He remembered this and said he would repay his kindness. , enshrine it to me, and I just attached myself to its clothes..."

 "That's right!" The land in the south of the city clapped his hands, "How can the body of an ordinary god leave the place where it was ordered?"

 Seeing that Qiu Yan was still confused, he became more and more sure of his judgment and said with a smile: "Brother, I don't know. Our gods must receive an amnesty order before they can be enthroned as gods. However, these amnesty orders are different. Some of them are different. The human court and the heavenly court are divided into the canonized gods. In addition, there are two categories, which are those who lead the wishes of all people and those who inherit the principles of heaven and earth. Among these two, if they are born out of thin air, they are born. God!"

 After the land in the south of the city recognized that Qiu Yan was a born god, its attitude changed drastically, and the original businesslike appearance disappeared: "Since brother doesn't know this, I guess he hasn't met other gods since he was born, but it doesn't matter, since we are here in Yuan Ning The city will be taken care of by Lord Cheng Huang from now on. If you have any questions, he will answer them for you."

 "Um, is there such a good thing?" Qiu Yan was shocked when he heard this. He had prepared a set of words, but he didn't expect that before he even said a few words, just because of the relationship between a "natural god" and the man in front of him, he was surprised. Attitudes towards the land have changed drastically.

 Here, Qiu Yan was still thinking, but Tu Tuyu said a few words over there, "Brother, why don't you come with me to the City God's Temple now to meet the Lord?"

 After hearing this, Qiu Yan shook his head: "To be honest, I was slightly injured a few days ago and my body is unstable. I have to rest for two days and it is inconvenient to go out."

 After hearing this, the land in the south of the city nodded repeatedly: "That's right, I was reckless. You are out of the legal domain, so you will naturally be affected. No wonder I see that your divine light is dim, and you must have even damaged the stars of your divine power."

 "Exactly." Qiu Yan nodded, sighing in his heart.

 "This land god is really good. I didn't say much before he figured it out by himself. He's quite a wonderful person."

 After his thoughts fell, Qiu Yan added, "Brother, I would like to ask you to report a crime to the City God on your behalf. I will definitely pay you a personal visit in two or three days."

 "Don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by me." The land in the south of the city responded with a smile, "In that case, the little god will not delay brother's rest, and will leave now. Brother, you can go to my temple to sit in when you have time. From now on, we may be colleagues, so we should be close to each other.”

 As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed, and a little starlight shot out from his fingertips and fell on Qiu Yan's hand.

 "Of course." Qiu Yan nodded and watched as the earth god bent down, turned around, and then turned into a ray of green light and disappeared from the ground.

 "Born a god? Become a colleague in the future? It seems that the mysteries in Shinto are really quite big."

 After pondering slightly, Qiu Yan himself turned to look at the sleeping flesh and blood clone, and narrowed his eyes: "However, what surprises me the most is that the land god didn't realize that this physical body is my clone!"

 As he spoke, two rays of light were projected from his eyes, shrouding the clone.

 "However, it's no wonder. Those three vellus hairs are so mysterious that they can follow me to this world. I'm afraid that the reason why I have such a good fortune after death is related to these three vellus hairs. In the past few decades, in addition to researching vellus hairs, I have Apart from the ability to create clones, there is almost no other gain.”

 In the light field of vision, the flesh and blood clones gradually changed, and the flesh and blood bones gradually disappeared, revealing several rays of light changing shadows, three rotating and seven floating.

 "I wonder if other people's clones also have the three souls and seven souls of women!"

 After thinking about it, Qiu Yan blinked his eyes, and the light disappeared.

 "However, this way, this clone should be able to practice normally. The sexual cultivation and life cultivation mentioned by the crow demon should correspond to soul cultivation and soul cultivation."

 Human beings have life, and the creation of nature depends on the heart, and the creation of life depends on the body.

 Xing refers to the mind, mind, soul, and spirit, while Po refers to life, flesh, body, and matter.

 Life is the mind and body, which can be called the divine form.

 "This coming of land is not unexpected. Although I don't know how the distribution of Shinto is divided in this world, when I entered the city, I felt like I was jumping into the water. I clearly entered the realm of others. It should be from this Cheng Chenghuang, since I can sense it, he must have been attracted by it and sent someone over to inquire. It is not surprising at all. "

 The Shinto gods each have their own deity, perform their own duties, and rule a legal domain. If there are foreign gods crossing the domain, they will be affected immediately.

 "The City God wants to see me, this is an opportunity, and from the words of the land, the innate gods seem to be a little special, so the change of attitude, the combination of the two, may open up the situation, allowing me to quickly gather some incense and willpower, and condense the divine power and stars! However, , the specific implementation depends on the results of the investigation in the next two days. In addition, I wonder if the city god can see the connection between the original body and the clone."

 Thinking like this, Qiu Yan's spiritual self glanced at the flesh and blood clone again, then shook slightly, dispersed in the air, and turned into a picture of a Confucian scholar again, which was pasted on his green shirt.

 On the other side, after walking through, the land in the south of the city that had arrived outside the Chenghuang Temple was patted on the head.

 "Yes, I was so anxious that I forgot to ask that person what kind of dharma he held and where he came from." He was thinking about how to report, and then he realized that he had forgotten the original intention of going there because he discovered the innate spirit. "However, the innate spirit The duties of the law change according to the situation. If you report this matter, Lord Chenghuang will definitely not blame me. Anyway, in two or three days, the man will come and you will know after asking. "

 With this thought in mind, he stepped into the temple.

 ………………

 A night of silence.

 The next morning, Qiu Yan got up early and did some simple exercise in the yard. After breakfast and sending Liu Huai and his son away, he found an excuse to leave and didn't come back until the evening.

 During dinner at home in the evening, Liu Huai heard about this and said a few words to the effect that Qiu Yan should pay attention to the recent limelight and that it would be best not to go out casually.

 However, Qiu Yan persuaded Liu Huai on the grounds that he went out to look for books, so he left early the next day and returned late. This continued until the third day.

 On the night of the third day, after dinner, Qiu Yan went back to the house early, took out a scroll from the bedside, opened it and spread it on the table. The painting inside was of a man in Confucian clothes, who was Qiu Yan's god. My true self.

 During these three days, he found a painting scroll and transferred the image from the green shirt to the painting paper. After all, carrying a roll of rag clothes with him was too eye-catching.

 After laying out the scroll, Qiu Yan lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

 As soon as Xu hour passed and Hai hour arrived, white light flashed on the drawing paper, and the spirit appeared in person.

 As soon as I raised my hand, a little starlight appeared. The starlight shook and scattered, turning into lines of characters.

 "What a good method and magical power."

 Looking at the lines of characters in front of him, Qiu Yan felt emotional.

 This starlight was left behind before the land in the south of the city left that day. There were thoughts emerging from it. With just a little contact, you can know the content information without having to recognize the characters at all.

 This is also a way to use divine power, but it is more subtle and contains skills that Qiu Yan cannot do if he asks himself. The most he can do is use his divine power to do some subtle operations, but they are not organized.

 The mysteries of divine power vary from person to person, but at its core, it is actually a set of transformation methods. At the level of the seventh-grade god, the main thing is to consume divine power and change between presence and absence.

 Like Qiu Yan letting the wild beasts in the mountains carry his own scent that day, or letting Wang Qiaoer forget his name three days ago, this is an operation of presence and absence.

 "It is imperative to have contact with other gods. At the very least, we can learn ways to strengthen the control of divine power. However, this time, the first thing I need to ask about is the cultivation method of the two realms of life and life. I think the land and the city god should know something about it. . Once understood, the physical body has a way to enter the body."

 The starlight characters gave two addresses and a set of methods. The address recorded the location of the City God Temple and the Earth Temple in the south of the city. Needless to say, in the past three days, Qiu Yan wandered around the city and roughly knew the layout of the city, the City God Temple and the Earth Temple. The location of the Tutu Temple has long been known.

 On the contrary, the method is even more important. Temples in the world enshrine gods, and anyone can enter and exit them. However, the place where the gods themselves reside contains the power of the underworld. Not only humans but also other gods cannot easily enter. Someone must lead him or have a corresponding method before he can get close. What was presented to Qiu Yan was this kind of method.

 Reciting the method silently in his heart, Qiu Yan himself threw himself on the ground. White light penetrated into the ground, and the scene in his field of vision changed. It soon turned into a stern temple.

 Leaving the confines of Ziyuan Mountain, although Qiu Yan lost his connection with the mountains and forests and could no longer gather his divine power, he was freed from the constraints and was no longer limited to a temple. He could travel and move.

 ………………

 At the same time, a large mansion in the city was brightly lit, and the owner of the mansion was holding a banquet to entertain everyone.

 In the main hall, Magistrate Yuan Ning, dressed in casual clothes, sat at the head of the table. On the seat to his right, sat a strong man with a stern face and a serious expression, which was incompatible with the lively atmosphere around him.

 "General Lang," Wen Anguo, the prefect of Yuanning, held a wine glass and said to the big man, "General Lang, please forgive me for your sudden arrival and lack of preparation."

 General Nalang shook his head: "Lord Wen, you are worrying too much. The food is good, but it is not to your liking."

 Wen Anguo smiled and said, "Oh? I don't know what the general likes. Tell me and I'll ask the cook to make up for it."

 The corner of General Lang's mouth moved, revealing his white teeth, and he opened his mouth and said: "Human flesh."
