Chapter 40: Suing Gu Yunli
The county lord unfolded the contract document, and after a while, he burst into laughter: "You are willing to donate 20,000 incense sticks. You are a smart man!"
He pondered for a moment and then chanted a spell in a low voice.
"Dongjia Qianyuan is prosperous, and the positive Qi is surging. I have received the heavy destiny from the cloud ceremony, and the network controls the sky. Hurry up and move like a law, and the divine Qi will quickly gather endless blessings!"
As the voice fell, a curtain of light unfolded in the field of vision.
“This Internet is really extraordinary!”
As the first landing instructions flowed into his sea of consciousness, the county lord immediately discovered the peculiarity of the Internet.
Looking at the methods of praying to gods in the world, they are either methods of attacking and destroying evil, or methods of destroying pollution and bestowing blessings.
A method of information exchange like the Internet can be said to be the flagpole of the City God Temple - unique!
As the "startup" screen disappeared, Xianjun, as the nominal "shareholder" of the Internet, finally saw the true face of the Internet for the first time!
The most eye-catching one is the weather forecast module in the upper right corner.
The weather forecast is divided into three parts, like three banner scrolls, and the top picture shows today's weather.
In the middle is tomorrow's weather.
The bottom picture is the weather the day after tomorrow.
All three pictures use dynamic images to show weather changes over a day, supplemented by tiny text explanations.
It can be said that even if you are illiterate, you can easily understand it.
"Great! Just this one point alone is far superior to many other divine prayer techniques."
The county magistrate was amazed and checked each section with great interest.
This sight made him linger.
The simplicity and convenience of communication;
There are many kinds of online courses;
The community is a mixed bag.
All of them challenged his three views and even made him feel a weird and indescribable sense of awe.
This thing seems to come from a foreign land, with a unique exotic flavor.
It's really because this thing is too different from what he sees every day!
"I have to admit that this technique is unique and original! If it can be developed, it may be able to grab a piece of fat meat right under the noses of the major immortal monarchs."
After quickly browsing the Internet, the county lord had to admit in his heart that the Internet of Prayer Techniques was special.
Even a little bit of envy and jealousy.
It's so painful that I can't claim such a magical skill for myself!
As her thoughts raced, the county lady suddenly came up with a solution.
"This boy has a promising future. Why not take this opportunity to accept him as your disciple so that he can ascend to heaven one day."
As the saying goes: Once a teacher, always a father!
As long as he accepts him as his disciple, won’t the Internet be his?
Thinking of this, the county lady's eyes suddenly lit up. When she was about to think of a reason to accept a disciple, a communication talisman suddenly flashed in front of her.
"Ok?"
The county lady reached out to take it, and her face changed drastically after a quick glance.
"Go to the city god quickly, don't make any mistakes!"
This communication token was actually a private message from the Lord of Yunzhou.
The county lady did not dare to delay. She flashed into the underworld and left at lightning speed.
The Zhou Chenghuang is located in the center of the five counties. It gathers the negative energy from all directions, gathers the evil spirits from all directions, and controls five counties, eight mountains and eleven rivers. It can be said to be a true land division and border control.
Although the rank of the State City God and the State Lord is the sixth, only one rank higher than the seventh-rank County Lord, his higher-ranking official position can crush people to pieces.
Therefore, the county lady did not dare to delay for a moment, and kept thinking along the way what had happened that made the state lord speak so harshly?
As he was daydreaming, he finally arrived outside the main hall of the City God Palace.
"Yong County Lord Yin Zhiduan, here you are—"
As the guards called out the names, Lord Yin of Yong County took a deep breath and walked into the hall.
He glanced across the hall, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
However, the hall was empty, with only a ninth-rank green-robed God of Land standing trembling in the hall.
In the hall, the governor, who was wearing an official robe and had a clean face and no beard, closed his eyes and dozed off expressionlessly, as if he had been waiting for him to arrive. This made his heart skip a beat.
"Yong County Lord Yin Zhiduan pays homage to the governor!"
"Well, how is Yong County these days?"
The prince had a blank expression on his face, showing no emotion.
"I wonder what you are referring to?"
Yin Zhiduan became increasingly nervous and did not dare to give a direct answer.
"I heard that a genius appeared in Yong County, and he wiped out all the incense offerings in Yong County with his prayer technique. Is this true?"
Seeing that County Lord Yin was pretending to be confused, the governor decided to get straight to the point.
"It's true."
"I heard that you also bought shares?"
Upon hearing this, Yin Zhiduan's face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his back... What did the prince mean by this?
Want to interfere?
Or has the Internet done something that has angered God and the people?
"Huizhou Jun, this is indeed the case."
Yin Zhiduan gritted his teeth and said that it would be safest to deny it at this time, but the problem was that the Internet was too profitable. What if Zhoujun wanted to intervene? If he denied it at this time, he would be asking for trouble.
Most importantly, he had seen the Internet with his own eyes and believed that this technique would not cause any trouble.
Even if you get into trouble, it is only a minor mistake.
It should be okay to use some incense to mediate.
"Really? Then why did I hear that this technique has already incurred the wrath of God and the resentment of the people?" The prince seemed to be hinting at something.
"I don't know, please tell me clearly."
"What a great unknown! Do you recognize the person in front of you?"
Upon hearing this, County Lord Yin Zhiduan immediately looked at the Earth God beside him. Before he could take a closer look, the Earth God trembled and bowed, saying:
"Wu Yanshang, the land god of Solo Village, greets the county lord!"
"Solo Village?"
The county lord was stunned. Isn't this the village under his jurisdiction? Could this person be the land god under his command?
Looking at this scene again... County Lord Yin suddenly realized that this was clearly a report bypassing the chain of command!
"May I ask if it was the Yin-Yang Division that neglected its duties and caused Wu Bogong to suffer injustice?"
The county lady spoke in a friendly manner, her words full of hints.
"This, this...I do feel a little wronged."
When the God of Land of Solo Village saw the county lady asking questions, he knew it would be difficult to escape, and he suddenly felt sad and spoke in a sorrowful tone.
"Please tell me clearly, Mr. Wu."
"Here! I'd like to let you know that since the Internet of praying to the gods came out, the people of Yong County have lost all respect for the city gods and the gods of the land. The incense offerings under the jurisdiction are decreasing day by day. If this continues, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to support the ghosts in the land temple, let alone the incense offerings and tributes. I hope you can help me."
The local god of Solo Village was so sad that he started to cry.
"I see."
After hearing this, the county lady's uneasy mood was immediately swept away!
He turned to face the governor and said,
"Your Excellency, there are many misunderstandings in what Wu Bogong said. The Internet of God-praying is a technique that benefits the country and the people. Not to mention the convenience of burning incense and communicating, just the weather forecast alone can solve the suffering of countless people in farming and traveling, so it is deeply loved by the people!"
"As for the matter of affecting the incense offerings of the God of Land, it is even more nonsense."
"The Internet of God Praying does not conflict with the duties of the land. Even if there is an impact at the moment, it is just like the gap-filling of the Chuma Hall."
At this point, County Lord Yin Zhiduan turned to the Solo Village God of Land and said amiably:
"As the saying goes: Everyone has his strengths and weaknesses. It seems that Mr. Wu is not good at the job of landowner. In this case, how about you return and serve as a clerk in the City God Palace?"
When these words were spoken, the land god of Solo Village shuddered all over.
How can this be considered a clerk?
Are you trying to lure me into a trap?
"Please be clear-headed, Lord! The impact of the Internet on incense is not just my fault. Yong County has long been in wrath and resentment, but... it's just that because of Gu Yunli's tyranny, we dare not speak out!"
The land god of Solo Village also tried his best. He knelt on the ground with a plop and shouted at the top of his voice.
But at the end, he still restrained his sharpness and did not dare to point directly at the county lady.
