This land god was quite knowledgeable and knew what Ji Yuan's casual words meant, provided that the immortal was telling the truth. After all, it was hard to imagine that he was not just bragging.
And although some mountain gods have fallen in turn, there should still be some who have become true mountain gods. Since Dazhen is not as big as the empire, there must have been some. This is basically the consensus of Shinto people.
But the wandering gods haven't been seen for many years. To be more precise, I have basically never heard of a living one. It even seems more like a Shinto legend.
And now suddenly there comes a master of immortal cultivation who says to a newly dead ghost in front of the God of Land, “You actually have another way out. You can try to become a wandering god, or you can try to take a path that can lead you to become a wandering god.”
It felt like the God of Land had his three views overturned.
Perhaps to take the God of Land's feelings into consideration, Ji Yuan also explained when he heard his slightly awkward words.
"What the Earth God said is actually right. According to rumors, those who can become wandering gods need the opportunity of heaven and earth to be together. It is not easy. The key is that the most difficult step is the first step. Even the method I mentioned is extremely difficult to achieve."
Ji Yuan thought about the idea of the author of "Tong Ming Ce".
"To borrow the power of the Lord of Water to transform extreme yin into positive yang, not only must the deity's cultivation be good, but the amount of incense and willpower consumed is inestimable. I'm afraid that it will greatly damage the vitality of the deity, and few people are willing to contribute to this."
Fortunately, he planned that someone should be able to invite at least two main water gods, and they are the gods of the first and second major rivers.
"In fact, the Lord of Water is secondary. What is difficult is the condition of Doctor Qin himself. This is difficult to explain to you."
At this point, Ji Yuan did not explain any further. The ghost did not understand, and the land god could not believe it, but he was not telling them. The key was still Qin Zizhou, so he looked at the equally confused soul of Qin Zizhou again.
"I believe that Doctor Qin has heard what I said to the Earth God. This is a chance to become a wandering god. Although there is a high possibility of failure, it is worth a try. Even if it fails, it will only benefit you and not harm you. I will ensure that your ghost body is safe. If you agree, I will go to the underworld of Desheng Mansion to explain the situation."
"Of course, if Doctor Qin is very satisfied with the arrangements of the underworld and just wants to live in peace and protect his descendants and enjoy the offerings, that's fine too!"
After Ji Yuan said this, he basically gave the choice to Qin Zizhou. As for asking for the soul from the underworld of Desheng Mansion, as long as this matter was mentioned, the entire underworld would be shocked. If it was confirmed to be true, how could they dare not release the soul
Qin Zizhou, who was cheerful during his lifetime, now seemed a little at a loss. There were ghosts and gods all around him, and he was not even familiar with his "old acquaintance" Ji Yuan. For a moment, it seemed that he had to make an unfamiliar but extremely important choice, and he was really nervous.
"Uh... this... I..."
Seeing Qin Zizhou like this, he was obviously very hesitant. Even the God of Land couldn't stand it anymore. He was holding the short stick tightly outside, and it was not known whether he wanted to wake him up.
But Ji Yuan did not dare to overstep the line. Regardless of whether what he had just said was true or false, he had already completely intimidated the God of Land. As for whether it was true or not, they would know when they went to the underworld in Desheng Prefecture.
"Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin!"
In the end, he couldn't help it anymore. The land god stepped into the house, walked to Qin Zizhou's side, and spoke through divine transmission.
"If Lord Qin has any concerns, he can go to the underworld to make a decision. By then, the City God will be by his side, so he won't have to worry about whether it's true or not. But you must not refuse at this time. As long as there is a slight possibility that this matter is true, it will be an opportunity that all ghosts and gods in the world will envy. If you are lucky enough to succeed, you can go to all corners of the world in the future. You must not refuse!"
Qin Zizhou had been to Deyuan County Land God Temple many times in his life. He was much more familiar with this land god, who was almost identical to the land god statue in the temple, than with Ji Yuan and Yin Cha.
After hearing the words of the God of Land, Qin Zizhou made up his mind and bowed to Ji Yuan.
"Thank you for your kindness, Immortal. My family is currently preparing for my funeral. Besides, I know nothing about this matter. Can you allow me to give you an answer after I reach the underworld?"
Ji Yuan nodded, realizing that he might have been a little too hasty, and smiled at the God of Land.
"Please ask the God of Land to accompany Doctor Qin throughout the whole process and explain to him the seriousness of this matter. I will leave first. We will see you in the underworld of Desheng Mansion!"
After saying this, Ji Yuan walked out of the house.
"Uh, where is the Immortal going now?"
The God of Land asked subconsciously, and Ji Yuan really paused and turned around to answer.
"Of course, we should ask the Lord of Water to help us, so as to avoid further trouble."
Ji Yuan was still confident about what choice Qin Zizhou would eventually make. The old man had been practicing medicine all his life and was known as a miracle doctor. He was not a fool. How could he refuse after knowing the significance of this matter
After answering this question, Ji Yuan left the Qin family yard and walked away.
Ji Yuan first flew his cloud directly to Tongtian River. As this would consume a lot of power from the incense of the Shinto sect, it would not be appropriate to send a letter, so he had to go in person to ask for a favor.
Naturally, the ones Ji Yuan wanted to invite were Ying Ruoli, the dragon girl of Tongtian River, and Bai Qi, the river god of Chunmu River. Both of them were aiming to become true dragons, and the gods were just auxiliary. It didn't matter if there were some greater losses, and they could both be used.
After flying for five hours, from dawn to dusk, Ji Yuan finally arrived at Zhuangyuan Ferry. However, it was not very busy here at this time.
The waves on the river reflected the moonlight. Ji Yuan, who had now learned quite a bit of water-controlling techniques, walked directly into the river and controlled the water downstream to the River God's Water Palace. After a while, he stopped outside the restriction of the Water Palace. Several patrolling Yakshas holding steel spears blocked his way.
"Who is coming?"
Ji Yuan used the water-avoidance technique, so his clothes and long hair did not flow with the waves. In this situation, even if Yaksha could not see through Ji Yuan, he knew that he was not a water creature.
Ji Yuan bowed and told the truth.
"Please tell Yaksha to inform the Goddess Jiang that Ji Yuan has come to ask for a favor."
Fate
Plan your fate!
"Master Ji!?"
Several Yakshas cried out in surprise and looked the newcomer up and down.
"It's Ji. I don't think anyone would dare to lie like that, right?"
Ji Yuan made a joke and several Yakshas were startled and quickly put away their forks and bowed.
"Master Ji, please come in quickly. I will go and inform the Goddess Jiang right away!"
Several Yakshas invited Ji Yuan into the restricted area of the Water Palace, while another one swam quickly and headed straight for the main hall of the Water Palace.
At this time, the old dragon was tasting wine and watching dancing in the main hall. The dragon son was not there and no one knew where he had gone. The dragon daughter was meditating and practicing in another palace.
Although Ji Yuan specifically asked for the Dragon Girl, Yaksha naturally had to inform the Dragon King first, so he shouted loudly and rushed into the main hall regardless of anything.
"Report... Report to Lord Dragon, Immortal Ji has arrived outside the Water Palace, and he said he came to ask for help from Goddess Jiang!"
All the dancers around stopped, and Lao Long stood up with a glass of wine in his hand.
"Mr. Ji is here! Looking for Ruoli? Not me?"
"Reporting to Lord Long, Immortal Ji did say that he was here to see Goddess Jiang."
The old dragon was stunned for a moment, waved his hand to let all the dancers retreat, and said to Yaksha.
"Go call Ruoli, I'll go outside to pick up Mr. Ji!"
"yes!"
Putting down the wine glass, Lao Long strode out of the hall muttering.
"You're not here to see me?"
A moment later, still in this main hall, Dragon Girl, Ji Yuan and Dragon King had all sat down, and Ji Yuan gave a brief explanation of the situation.
At this moment, Lao Long seemed more excited than his own daughter.
"Mr. Ji actually wants to confer an order on the Wandering God? Interesting, very interesting, I have never seen anything like this in my life!"
"Mr. Ying, the word 'conferring' is too strong. This time I just want to try whether the way of wandering gods is feasible."
The imperial decree is really equivalent to something that is accomplished in one go, and the word "fate" does not do it justice.
"Hey, it's almost time, let's go, let's get going now!"
Lao Long could no longer sit still and seemed even more anxious than Ji Yuan.
"But what about Goddess Jiang?"
Lao Long glanced at his daughter.
"How dare she have any objection? She has already enlightened the dragon's heart, but she is reluctant to give up the incense for another one or two hundred years?"
Seeing her father like this, the dragon girl pulled her sleeves to cover her mouth and smiled, then stood up.
"I will obey Uncle Ji's orders!"
The three of them hurried out of the Water Palace, and the old dragon took the responsibility of driving the cloud, taking Ji Yuan and the dragon girl to fly to Chunhui Palace.
The process of inviting the River God of Chunhui Prefecture was even simpler. Ji Yuanzhizi invited him with Taoist sounds outside the River God Temple, and Bai Jiao, who was dozing off, heard the call and came immediately.
He was even more overjoyed when he heard Ji Yuan's request, as if he was the one who was going to become the World-Wandering God. He was worried that he could not find an opportunity to show off in front of Ji Yuan.
The result was that when they were riding the cloud to Desheng Mansion, Ji Yuan and the Dragon Girl were still relatively calm on the cloud, while the Old Dragon and Bai Qi were chatting animatedly, and were obviously in a good mood.
'Strange things happen every year, but this year there are more...'
Even though he knew the reason, Ji Yuan still felt a little amused.
Because of the hot weather, the body could not be kept for a long time, so the Qin family held the funeral one day later. Qin Zizhou followed the ghost to the underworld of Desheng Mansion later that day, and the God of Land naturally went with him.
As expected, upon hearing about this, the entire underworld of Desheng Prefecture was in an uproar. As the City God and the gods of various departments learned about the situation, Qin Zizhou gradually realized how rare this opportunity was.
Around the evening of the next day, outside the City God Temple of Desheng Prefecture, the ghost guarding the Ghost Gate at the entrance to the underworld was almost frightened to the point of losing his body. After going back to report, the City God of Desheng Prefecture led the heads of various departments to the Ghost Gate to welcome them.
The god of Tongtian River, the largest river in Dazhen, came in person, the god of Chunmu River, the second largest river in Dazhen, came in person, and even the legendary Dragon King came in person.
The divine light of the Water God colored half of the sky outside the City God Temple.
Ji Yuan, who was standing next to them, was naturally highlighted even more extraordinary. No one would doubt whether what he said was true or false.
