The river waves surged endlessly into the sea, and the River God statue was nurtured day and night by the spiritual energy of the river domain. Although he himself had not intentionally merged with the river domain, if a deity were to come here to observe his divine methods, the aura of the river domain would blend with his talisman, extending over 500 miles of the river domain. All the spirits that survived the battle between the Jiaolong King and Mount Kunlun in the entire Jing River came to Xiuchun Bay. For them, Chen Jing was already the only River God of the Jing River, and perhaps it wouldn't take many years for him to be promoted to the Dragon King of the Jing River.
Li Yannan is now not only happy about becoming a god servant, but also thinks that he is lucky. For ordinary people, he has already become someone who can communicate with ghosts and gods. Many people who come to the River God Temple to worship are received by him, although the process is very simple, his expression is very serious and solemn.
Recently, there seem to be more people coming to the River God Temple to worship, and most of them are asking for protective charms. Li Xiangnan looks very young, and he is naturally quiet, not a talkative person, but in his heart, he has already been thinking that perhaps the town is haunted by ghosts. The reason he doesn't say it's haunted by monsters is that every night, there are so many monsters asking questions and listening to lectures in front of the River God Temple, thinking that maybe all the monsters in the world have come here.
On this day, an old man finally came to the River God Temple with a few people in tow, burning incense and making offerings. It was only from his mouth that Li Xiangnan learned that something evil had indeed happened in the town. Some children who had entered the Land God Temple to play returned home and fell into a deep sleep with dark energy on their faces. When they woke up, they spoke nonsense and didn't recognize anyone. Others still hadn't woken up. Therefore, many people in the town came to ask for protective charms.
This time, the old man came in the hope that the river god would show his spirit and drive out the evil spirits that were haunting the town. The old man didn't come easily, but several wandering Taoist priests had already disappeared in the land temple, and even those who came out of the temple escaped hastily. It wasn't until then that the people of the town panicked, and it was only then that the old man represented the entire Junling Town to come to the River God Temple.
Chen Jing could sense everything that happened within his divine domain with a single thought, but he was unclear about the affairs of the town because it wasn't his divine domain. Now, he could clearly feel that when his divine thoughts were about to merge with the spiritual energy of the two mountain ranges, there would be a strong sense of rejection, and in his divine soul, there would be a faint stinging pain, as if warning Chen Jing not to cross over. This hadn't happened before, obviously because his fusion with the river domain wasn't sufficient yet.
When the old man came to the River God Temple to worship and pray, Chen Jing suddenly felt a strong sense of willpower coming from the town, which was different from the usual incense and faith. This willpower clearly conveyed the old man's prayers. Although it was much weaker than the willpower in front of the river village, it clearly expressed the intention of asking Chen Jing to drive out evil spirits. If he didn't go, this willpower would likely turn into resentment.
Li Yannan naturally knew that the River God was actually listening, although he didn't say much, but he was excited all day. When the sky turned dark, he asked the statue: "River God, are you going out to hang lanterns today?"
"It's all right." Along with a gentle voice, a figure walked down from the statue.
Li Yannen was excited in his heart, thinking that the River God was indeed going to get rid of the evil spirits. He wanted to go together, but seeing the River God about to leave, he didn't dare say it out loud, and only followed closely behind, looking up at him with eager eyes, hoping the River God would glance at him and see the meaning in his eyes, asking if he wanted to go together. But until the River God stepped out of the temple gate, he still hadn't looked at him, so Li Yannen's heart was anxious and he blurted out: "River God..."
Chen Jing turned his head and glanced at him, smiling lightly: "Want to go take a look?"
Li Xiangning nodded vigorously, and Chen Jing said, "Then close your eyes." Li Xiangning hastily closed his eyes, thinking that the River God was about to cast a spell, unfortunately, he couldn't watch. Just as he closed his eyes, the sound of rushing wind echoed in his ears, and his feet felt as if they were floating in mid-air. Curious, he opened his eyes again, only to find himself no longer in front of the River God Temple, but in the sky, with a vast expanse of darkness before him, and beneath him, a patchwork of mountains. In the distance, he saw Junling Town. By the time he took it all in, he was already above Junling Town, and even after landing, he still felt a sense of weightlessness throughout his body.
The sky had already turned completely dark, and the people in this town didn't know if they were used to going to bed early or if it was because of the evil presence that had been lurking around for days, but one by one, before the sky even turned dark, they finished their dinner and went to sleep. In front of Li Qianyun was a temple dedicated to the land god, located in the center of the town. Generally, every human settlement would have a temple at its center, and Junling Town was no exception. Chen Jing was not unfamiliar with it; although he had never been to Junling Town before, he was familiar with the name because Qin Hu had once told him that this was the land god of Junling Town.
At that time, he didn't dare to pass through Junling Town when he went to Balin City to celebrate his birthday. Now the land temple in Junling Town is covered with dust and spider webs. In this kind of town, temples do not have special people to sweep them, unless it's a big city temple. The Chenjing River Temple is an exception. However, no one sweeping doesn't matter, as long as there are gods in the temple, there won't be any insects or dust accumulating. Everyone knows that when the statue of the land god on the altar is covered with dust, people in Junling Town know that the land god has left.
Li Yannong raised her head and saw that the river god was clearer than before, but she couldn't see any expression on his face, only calmness.
Chen Jing stepped up onto the threshold of the River God Temple, pushing open the half-closed temple door. In Li Xiangnan's eyes, everything was calm and peaceful, except for the dust that fell from the door. However, in Chen Jing's eyes, this River God Temple had already become unbearable. On the steps in front of the door, there were chaotic footprints of evil energy, and the door itself had been corroded by dark and malevolent energy. As he pushed open the door, a wave of gloomy and eerie energy rushed towards him, with a faint hint of bloodstain in the air.
"Heh heh, the River God has arrived in grand style. I, a minor deity, have failed to welcome you from afar. Please forgive me."
Chen Jing took a step into the temple, and in the darkness, a voice had already sounded out, hoarse and icy.
"Haha, what kind of god are you?"
"Nature is the god of the land."
"How could the Earth God allow people in his domain to be possessed by evil spirits?" Chen Jing stepped forward, approaching the dusty statue.
"As long as they come to me and worship me, I will naturally drive them away. It's a pity that they actually went to the river god temple to burn incense, but didn't come to worship me." The voice came from the statue.
"Do you think that by occupying the temple and possessing the statue, you are a god? Wrong! A god represents protection, which is a responsibility. If you enjoy the incense offerings, you must protect the peace of the people. You want to receive the incense offerings, but you can't do it this way. Doing so would make you an evil spirit, even if your magical powers are unparalleled, you would still be a demon, and people wouldn't be able to worship you sincerely."
Chen Jing took slow steps towards the statue, his words ringing out like each step was trampling on hearts. Li Xianglian followed behind Chen Jing, listening clearly to every word, feeling an inexplicable shock in her heart, as if the River God was now more majestic than ever.
"Hmph, in today's world, how many gods have obtained their divine positions through legitimate means? The Heavenly Court disappeared over a thousand years ago, and the batch of gods who received the Heavenly Court's edict have long since perished. Not one of the current gods' positions was not seized by force. And on the altar of your River God position, who knows how much spiritual blood has been spilled?" The voice from the statue sounded urgent and rapid, revealing a sense of tragic indignation.
"I have a clear conscience, I've never taken anyone's place. Now that I've obtained the Military Bell Town's incense, I naturally want to protect Military Bell Town's safety." Chen Jing finished speaking and took a step forward.
Li Xiangning didn't feel any wind, but for some reason, she had a feeling of a fierce storm brewing in her heart. Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared before her eyes, like the sun bursting out from thick, dark clouds, making Li Xiangning's eyes ache. Almost at the same time, she heard the sound of a sword being unsheathed, accompanied by a mournful and shrill cry.
When the white mist in Li Yulan's eyes disappeared and she could see things, it was already dark in front of her. She quickly turned around to look at Chen Jing, but saw that Chen Jing had already turned around and walked out of the temple. The blurry figure was surprisingly tall and dazzling.
Looking back at the statue in the darkness, although he couldn't see anything clearly, he felt that the evil spirit who had spoken earlier was definitely dead.
"He's really powerful, the River God." Li Xiangnan thought to herself excitedly, and then remembered the white light from earlier, recalling the stories she had heard since childhood about the River God slaying demons, thinking that it must have been the sword that slew the snake demon on the surface of Xiuchun Bay.
He had always dreamed of witnessing Chen Jing's magical skills, until today he finally caught a glimpse of it, although he didn't see it clearly, but in his heart he deeply felt the piercing killing intent emitted by that dazzling sword aura.
He hastily chased out, and as soon as he got close, his feet stepped on empty air, and together with Chen Jing, they soared into the sky. Although he was stepping on something that felt nonexistent, he was truly flying. Looking down, the entire Junling Town was already under his feet.
Chen Jingzhao suddenly pointed to the void, and a white light flashed out like a streak of lightning, wandering in the void, leaving a white mark in the void where it passed. Li Xiangnan suddenly thought of the Taoist priest drawing talismans he had seen before. If this white mark in the sky were reduced to a piece of paper, it would be a talisman.
"The Jing River oracle says: all evil will be eliminated."
This is the divine talisman that drives away evil spirits. Although it claims to be able to drive away all evil spirits in the world, it is actually useless in the minds of most people. Because it can't really drive away evil spirits, Chen Jing had never used it before, but now he understands that many such seemingly useless talismans are actually indispensable tools for gods and deities.
In the void, the spiritual symbol drawn by the sword flashed and imprinted itself on the entire Junling Town. Li Xiangnan naturally couldn't see anything, and at this time, he was looking sideways at Chen Jing. When he found that his feet seemed to have changed, he had already returned to the River God Temple.
