I gather power with my gift of God and build the heaven.

Just when the old village chief was about to commit suicide.

In another room in the courtyard, a couple were looking at their sleeping baby with the same sad expressions on their faces.

They are the son and daughter-in-law of the old village chief. Naturally, they are clear about the situation in the village and the old village chief's thoughts.

But what can they do?

If we try to stop his father's actions, the whole village will be slaughtered by the ghosts.

If we don't stop him, he's their father.

Having to watch their father commit suicide right before their own eyes, one can imagine the grief and sorrow in their hearts.

On the other side, Lao Cunzi had already grasped the kitchen knife and was slowly moving it towards his neck.

Although the old village chief didn't want to die.

But given the current situation of their village, this is the only way out.

As for joining other villages, or migrating into towns.

Don't even think about it.

The current situation in other villages is not much better, even though the ancestral spirits are still there.

As for joining the town, is that something these poor people can dream of?

Just as he was gripping the kitchen knife tightly, determination gradually appeared in his eyes, and he was ready to turn around and chop it down, he suddenly felt his head getting dizzy and a strong sense of sleepiness came over him.

"Hmm~!"

The old village chief shook his head in confusion, but he couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep in a daze. The kitchen knife fell to the ground with a clang.

In fact, not only the old village chief, but everyone in the village fell into a deep sleep at this time.

In a daze, the old village chief felt that his whole body was light and he was walking in a village that was similar to his own village, but different from it.

The people here were all wearing strange grey cloth shirts and walking towards the village with smiles on their faces.

Amid the hustle and bustle, the old village chief took a quick look and felt that this village was at least a large one with hundreds of people.

However, no one had ever heard of such a village within a hundred miles of their village.

I don't know how he suddenly came here.

However, seeing how carefree and smiling everyone was, the old village chief secretly guessed that there must be a powerful ancestral spirit or even a guardian god here.

Unconsciously, the old village chief seemed to be affected by the emotions of the crowd. The sorrow in his heart gradually dissipated, a smile appeared on his face, and he walked towards the village head with everyone.

While walking, he gradually understood what everyone was going to do.

Worship the land in the village

land??

The old village chief was puzzled. What is land? Is it the name of an ancestor? Or the name of a guardian god?

The old village chief couldn't help but open his mouth and prepare to ask the person next to him.

However, seeing that everyone looked very familiar, the old village chief became hesitant again.

These are things that everyone is familiar with. Wouldn't it be too abrupt for him to suddenly ask about this?

What he feared most was being mistaken for a demon and beaten to death.

Since he died outside, he couldn't become the ancestor of the village.

In the end, the old village chief could only suppress the doubts in his heart, listen to the chaotic noises coming from all around him, and follow the crowd out of the village.

"Haha, today I am offering sacrifices to the land god, and I must pray to him to bless my family with happiness."

"My son got married a few days ago. Today I ask the God of Land to let my daughter-in-law get pregnant soon and give me a big fat grandson."

"I hope my child will pass the imperial examination this fall."

".The God of Land blesses us and the harvest is abundant."

Along the way, listening to the discussions of people around him, the old village chief more or less understood what the land was.

This is probably similar to a guardian deity who can protect neighbors, safeguard homes and homes, fertile land, and even suppress demons and evil spirits.

Judging from the expressions of the villagers around, this land must be very effective.

At least, there are no evil spirits around.

While chatting and laughing, everyone had already arrived at the land temple at the entrance of the village.

Looking at the small land temple and the clay sculpture of an old man in it, the old village chief was a little surprised.

You know, although there are no clay statues in their ancestor worship, the altar occupies a large area and there are ever-burning bonfires around it.

Even if it is extinguished for a moment, it must be lit as soon as possible.

Of course, under normal circumstances, with the protection of the power of ancestral spirits, the bonfire will not go out even in the wind and rain, and the burning flames can illuminate the entire village and its surroundings.

However, the land temple before them was far inferior to their altar. It consisted of only a small house, a clay statue, and a sacrificial incense burner in front.

After everyone arrived, the voices gradually died down and the atmosphere became solemn.

Soon, the village chief stepped forward and began to burn incense and recite sacrificial words.

Afterwards, everyone knelt down one after another, and various prayers to God could be heard.

Seeing this scene, the old village chief couldn't help but kneel down and pray silently in his heart.

If the God of Land really has spirits, I hope he can protect our village through this and help me become an ancestral spirit.

Well, regardless of what the land is like, it’s always right to pray.

As everyone finished the ceremony and looked up, the old village chief saw the land temple in front of him. Smoke was rising from it, and the land in the background seemed looming, like a seated god.

Faintly, he seemed to see the land smiling at him.

The old village chief couldn't help but blink his eyes vigorously and rubbed his eyes hard with his hands.

When he looked again, he found that the statue of the land god still looked like a clay or stone statue.

"Hey~, maybe the old man is dazzled and saw it wrongly."

The old village chief murmured something and stood up with everyone else.

At this moment, a black fog suddenly rose outside the village, and eerie and terrifying strange noises continued to come out of it.

"Hehe. Haha."

"Many people, many people

Haha, so much blood food."

"Hey, die, die, die, all of you must die"

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.

"Ghost, ghost!"

It was not until someone shouted that everyone suddenly woke up and chaos broke out.

Some people ran towards the village, some fell directly to the ground, and some smart ones knelt directly in front of the statue of the land god.

As soon as everyone took action, the eerie ghosts outside the village seemed to be awakened and rushed forward suddenly.

"Hoo~!"

Suddenly, dark clouds covered the sky. Not even the scorching sun at noon could reduce its brightness. Faintly, it seemed as if thousands of ghosts were surging among them, and strange ghost cries echoed endlessly.

In an instant, everyone felt an endless chill invading their bones. A deep fear rose from the bottom of their hearts, and their bodies became stiff and unable to move at all.

He was roaring loudly in fear and wanted to escape from this ghost town as soon as possible, but he couldn't move at all.

Seeing this scene, the old village chief was instantly filled with despair.

Possessing a chilling power that almost solidifies blood, and being a ghost that is not afraid of the scorching sun at noon, even if the ancestral spirits of their village are still alive, they will only have the fate of having their entire village slaughtered.

However, what happened next left him dumbfounded, and he stood there in a daze.

When the eerie ghost fog approached the village, the small statue of the land god suddenly emitted a faint bright yellow light, instantly covering the entire village.

As the divine light enveloped him, the chill that had penetrated into his bones instantly vanished, and the fear in his heart also quickly dissipated.

Being within the range of the divine light, everyone felt extremely safe, and it seemed that the ghosts still wandering around in the outside world were no longer a big deal.

Everyone's originally stiff bodies also slowly recovered.

The bright yellow divine light was not dazzling and seemed to be just a thin layer.

However, no matter how the eerie ghost charged, it could not withstand it at all, not even causing the slightest disturbance. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, under the gaze of the old village chief and everyone else, the statue of the land god suddenly came to life and took a step out of the small land temple.

In an instant, his body expanded and turned into a land god with a kind face, but glowing divine light, and holding a dragon-headed cane.

After the land god appeared, he immediately looked at the ghosts outside the village.

"How dare you, a wicked person, to hurt someone and kill someone"

Before he finished speaking, the land god violently swung the dragon-headed cane in his hand, and a dazzling golden light shot out instantly.

The moment it came into contact with the boundless dark clouds and ghostly energy, the golden light suddenly exploded and instantly turned into thousands of golden lights that shot out and destroyed the boundless dark clouds and ghostly energy into pieces.

Then, the golden light spread, quickly engulfing the dark clouds and ghostly aura.

In an instant, shrill screams rang out in the golden light.

"Ah~!"

"No!"

"I don't want to die."

"Help me, I know I'm wrong"

Seeing this sudden reversal, although his body had clearly recovered, the old village chief and everyone else became stiff and unable to move. They just stared in amazement at the land god killing the ghost.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but the wailing of the ghost in the golden light gradually disappeared, and the dazzling golden light also gradually dissipated.

Finally, the golden light dissipated, and the endless dark clouds, ghostly aura, resentful souls, evil spirits, etc. also all disappeared.

"hehe."

After destroying all the ghosts, the land god turned around to look at everyone, smiled gently, took a step forward and returned to the land temple.

The chuckles were still lingering in my ears; the land god had turned back into a clay or stone statue; the bright yellow divine light that enveloped the entire village also began to dim gradually, and finally completely dissipated.

At this point, the old village chief finally came back to his senses in a daze.

Looking around, if it weren't for the mess and the many people lying on the ground reminding him, he would have thought that everything just now was a dream.

At this moment, the people around seemed to come to their senses and immediately knelt on the ground, praying for the blessing of the land god.

The old village chief was also among those kneeling, his heart filled with countless sighs and longings.

If their village also had such a land god, would they not have to worry about being attacked by ghosts?
