Just then, the sound of footsteps came from outside the temple, quite urgent. The big demon and little demon were suddenly flustered. They had never encountered humans head-on before, although they had peeked into the human world countless times in the dark, but had never entered a human town. For them, the human town was the most dangerous place, where the gods could make such small demons die a hundred times.
They immediately retreated, looking at Chen Jing, and the virtual spirit also looked at Chen Jing. Chen Jing naturally wouldn't let them be seen by others, but neither did he do anything, a pretty little woman just walked in, wearing coarse linen clothes, which made her skin look even whiter, although she was not as beautiful as the virtual spirit, but she had the advantage of being fair-skinned and having a plump figure, with curves in all the right places, unlike the virtual spirit who was slender and delicate, like a weak willow that might break its waist in strong winds.
This beautiful young woman walked in and went straight to the statue, completely ignoring Chen Jing, Xul Ling, and the big and small demons who were standing on one side, not even daring to breathe. Chen Jing looked at them and smiled: "You don't have to worry, although this temple has just been built and my divine symbol in Junling Town is still forming, everything within this temple is naturally under my control."
The big demon and the little demon finally let out a sigh of relief, thinking that this god was indeed extraordinary, and his magic in the temple couldn't even be seen. Although the big demon thought Chen Jing was fierce, he still wasn't as good as You Ling. In his heart, Chen Jing didn't seem as majestic or cold as the rumors outside said, but he still wanted to follow You Ling.
This pretty young wife also came to offer incense and thank Chen Jing. She had just gotten married not long ago, but her husband had been possessed by an evil spirit a few days ago and no one could recognize him anymore. Just when she was worried day and night, Chen Jing cured him. Yesterday there were too many people worshiping, and she also needed to take care of her husband, so she came early this morning.
"A civilian woman, Li Xiulian, thanked the River God for saving her husband and wished that the River God's power would be boundless and protect all living things." The woman on the ground whispered softly, but it was clearly heard by Chen Jing. After praying, she bowed three times again, then inserted the incense in her hand into the incense burner and bowed three more times. She also prayed for the health of her husband's parents and her own parents, as well as for herself to become pregnant soon. It wasn't until after a long time that she finally got up and left. From then on, people kept coming to burn incense.
The spirits quickly returned to the temple after circling around it once. After that, they didn't leave again. The big and small monsters also followed them, initially worried and afraid to exit the temple. However, after the spirits drew two black misty symbols on them, saying these were stealth symbols, so there was no need to worry about being seen. Only then did they dare follow the spirits out. Having never truly entered a human town before, they were extremely excited, curious about everything, and marveled at how humans lacked magical powers, strength, and had short lifespans, yet were incredibly intelligent. Just as they hadn't finished exploring and researching the strange objects in the town to understand their uses, the spirits brought them back to the temple. This made them wonder if the spirits were really playing around in Junlin Town or just quickly walking around it.
Xu Ling returned and never left, watching Chen Jing sit there flipping through that book of spells. Chen Jing looked up at her return and smiled, asking: "How was it? You've never been to Junling Town before?"
"I had thought of coming here before, but at that time there was a land god here, so I didn't dare to come," said the Void Spirit.
"Qin Huo? Haha, he should be dead by now. The deity of this town is me, you can come and go as you please, the town has plenty of yang energy, I think it would be beneficial for your cultivation. Why don't you become the deity of this town?"
The spirit said: "People believe in the River God, how can I be the god? I've heard that between a god and his believers, there is only one unchanging 'faith', no deception is allowed. They believe in the River God, so the River God must protect them. If the River God lets me take his place, it would be deceiving them, which is not good. Although they don't know, the deception already exists. Moreover, this way can't achieve anything, because they believe in the River God."
This was the first time Chen Jing had heard the spirit say so much, and it was said very seriously. He thought for a moment before saying: "Then I can tell the people in the town that from now on you are a god."
"Heishenye wants to seal the gods?" Xul Ling looked at Chen Jing and said.
"Seal of God? What seal of God?" Chen Jing asked in confusion.
"It is said that when the Heavenly Court was first established, it enfeoffed 365 major gods, and these 365 major gods in turn enfeoffed many minor deities. This is what is meant by 'enfeoffment of gods'. Just like the River God in the Jing River where the former Dragon King of the Jing River had the power to enfeoff the river gods within the Jing River."
Chen Jing thought for a moment and said: "If I can seal you, I will seal you, but I don't know how to seal you, do you?" Chen Jing asked back.
"I don't know, all along, all the gods were sealed by the Supreme God and eventually returned to the Jade Emperor of Heaven. Now that the Heavenly Court has disappeared, the Orthodox Gods are not visible, and the number of gods who have received the Orthodox Edict in the world is decreasing. So I don't know how to divide the title in the future, nor do I know if the River God can be divided after getting the position of Jinhe Dragon King." Xul Ling said far away, Chen Jing immediately understood her meaning, just like he got the position of River God was obtained with the Orthodox Edict from Heaven, and there were Jinhe sacrificial incantations and various divine techniques in the edict. And if it was obtained with the Orthodox Jinhe Dragon King's Edict, then the edict must have a method for dividing the Jinhe River God."
It's just that after the life and death of the Jiaolong Wang, it's unknown whether there is still a imperial edict of Jinghe River or not. Perhaps the Jiaolong Wang itself didn't have an orthodox imperial edict from the beginning. If Chen Jing slowly condensed into the divine symbol of Jinghe River, then it would definitely be like the current Shiling Town's divine symbol, just a blank piece, without anything special contained within.
"If it's really about sealing the gods, then the things in the imperial edict must have been sealed by the person who did the sealing." Chen Jing suddenly thought. Before, he thought that all the gods were like himself, with various symbolisms in the imperial edict. He was right to think so, a thousand years ago, each god's imperial edict must have contained these things, and the higher the god's position, the more things were contained in the imperial edict. But now it's different. Most of the orthodox gods are dead, and the orthodox imperial edicts are lost.
He thought back to the time he killed the evil dragon, Heiwa River God, and merged with his divine symbol. There was nothing in the divine symbol at that time, which made him feel strange. Now it all makes sense.
"Haha, with the world in such chaos, someone must come out to re-establish the universe, re-ascend to heaven and re-grasp the divine powers. The matter of sealing the gods will also be done by someone." Chen Jing said with a smile.
"What about the River God?" asked Xuleng.
"Me?"
"If someone were to recreate the universe and re-establish the heavenly court, what would happen to the River God?" Xū Líng gazed at Chen Jing's profile. Even after he turned his head back around, Chen Jing didn't lower his head to avoid his gaze like he used to.
"I? Hehe, I just want to rescue my Shifu from Kunlun Mountain, I just don't want to have shackles on my body anymore. Who will re-establish the Heavenly Court and re-determine the fate of the world has nothing to do with me?" Chen Jing said.
Yu Ling fell silent for a moment, watching the people coming and going to offer incense and make wishes, then shook her head and sighed: "If one could live in peace all their life, who would want to struggle and sink?"
Chen Jing looked at him in the same way, silent and speechless.
The big demon and little demon standing behind them listened, feeling puzzled in their hearts. They didn't know what was wrong with them, and at the same time, they were secretly thinking about that one sentence the empty spirit had said. Their hearts still didn't understand, but they vaguely sensed a helpless atmosphere.
After a while, Chen Jing came back to his senses and prepared to flip through the talismans in his hand, looking for the page that might record the soul's nightmare curse. Suddenly, he turned his head again, took out a damaged book from his pocket, and handed it to Xul Ling, saying: "I have a book here, take a look."
Xu Ling was slightly perplexed, looking at the thin book in Chen Jing's hand, which was a pale gold color with an ancient and simple style. When he took it over, it wasn't metal, but rather something like silk, yet not quite silk. It had a warm and smooth feeling to the touch.
"What is this?"
"It's said to be 'Huang Ting'."
"Huang Ting?" Xul Ling had never heard of it, and looking at the words on the cover seemed somewhat familiar, but couldn't quite recall where he had seen them before. He flipped through a page or two, and the words inside didn't have that familiar feeling, but from top to bottom, there wasn't a single word he recognized. He also looked through another two pages from head to toe, with not a single recognizable word; it was as if those were not words at all, but rather a series of small symbolic paintings.
Xu Ling looked up at Chen Jing, who was lowering his head to read a book, and asked: "Does the River God recognize the characters in this book?"
Chen Jing raised his head and said: "How come you don't recognize me either? I thought you would!"
"These characters are ancient, perhaps from the primordial era of chaos, or perhaps they're not even words at all, how would I recognize them?" Xū Líng said: "I don't know where the River God got this from."
"It was given to me by one of my elders through someone else. They said I should read it often, but I don't even recognize the characters on the page, how can I read it?" Chen Jing said.
Xu Ling fell silent for a moment before asking, "Doesn't your elder know that you don't recognize the things above?"
"Hehe, I was brought up by him, my views on everything in this world and what I've learned are all based on his foundation. How could he not know?" Chen Jing stood there saying, as someone walked through him, but it seemed like two different spaces, without any impact at all.
"Since the River God doesn't recognize you, yet still gave it to you, he must think that you can understand it. I think, as long as you calm down and think about it carefully, you will definitely know how to comprehend what's written on this." Yu Ling said, handing back the "Huang Ting".
Chen Jing returned home and thought for a moment before saying: "Let me finish translating this spell first, then I'll carefully ponder it again."
After a while, the spirit said goodbye and left, taking the big and small monsters with him.
