Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

I've given you a chance today, but you won't tell me. I'll take it as your consent. If you dare to do anything behind my back in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, and finally, a white-haired old man slowly stood up.

"Since Your Excellency wants to hear our opinions, may I just say a few words?"

Song Xuan nodded and motioned him to continue.

The old man said, “Sir, the original sacrificial agreement was signed between the top brass of the Imperial City Bureau and the demon kings behind us.

Isn't it a bit too much for you to suddenly tear up the agreement as soon as you take office?

Isn’t this against the rules?”

"rule?"

Song Xuan smiled and spoke in a relaxed voice, "I am actually a very rule-abiding person, but the premise is that I must approve of these rules!

If I don’t agree, then you have to follow my rules!

The rules I set are the rules!"

The old man's expression was somewhat grim. "Sir, this is not negotiable? We must follow your rules?"

"There's something to talk about!"

Song Xuan laughed and said, "If you don't want to follow the rules, that's easy.

You just need to ask the Mahayana existence behind you to come forward and talk to the elders of this clan."

The old man's face froze when he heard this, and then he showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and his hand holding the wine glass was shaking.

"Sir, I have considered it and your rules seem reasonable. I am willing to abide by them!"

The other river gods also had awkward smiles on their faces. They stood up and spoke in agreement, expressing their willingness to abide by Lord Song's rules.

Find a Mahayana existence to talk to?

Let’s talk!

They have a demon king at the Fusion Realm behind them, which is a huge support. As for the Mahayana Realm? That's something they can't even imagine.

If there is a Mahayana being as a backer, who would still be here as a river god?

Wouldn’t it be great to just establish a sect and become the leader yourself?

Song Xuan picked up his wine glass and said with a smile, "Everyone, do you really think so?"

The old man who spoke first said hurriedly, "Don't worry, sir, we will abide by what we have decided.

Just like fulfilling the duties of the river god over the years.

In fact, when we reach the level of cultivation, we cannot say that we have attained enlightenment, but we no longer have much need for blood and food.

We actually hope that the local government can build a river temple for us so that the people can worship it.

But unfortunately, when the agreement was signed, the Imperial City Inspector refused to agree to this request. In order to make up for it, he added the item of young boys and girls to the sacrifice to the river god.

They would rather let us eat our children than build a temple for us to worship!"

"Is there still this?"

Song Xuan was a little surprised, his face turned cold and he looked thoughtful.

After a while, he slowly said: "The matter of the River God Temple is possible!"

The river gods were startled and somewhat unable to believe it.

"Do you really mean what the lord said?"

Song Xuan nodded and looked around at everyone. The strong sense of oppression made the river gods subconsciously bow their bodies.

"From today on, as long as you fulfill your duties as a river god, benefit the people in the basin, and build a temple to receive incense, I will fight for you!

Let’s set a time limit, let’s limit it to a hundred years.

"For the next hundred years, I will send people to inspect your work at any time. If you diligently and conscientiously fulfill your duties as the River God, after a hundred years, I will build a temple for you and cast a golden statue for you, so that you can enjoy the orthodox Taoist River God incense and offerings!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's breathing stopped.

The white-haired old man even tried to test him: "Sir, we are all demons. Building a temple is a taboo within the imperial territory. Are you sure?"

Song Xuan glanced at him and said, "Whether you are confident or not is my business, not your concern!

Just do your own thing well, and I will take care of the rest for you!

All you need to know is that I, Song Xuan, have never failed to fulfill any of the promises I made in my life!"

Everyone looked left and right, then looked at each other and bowed.

"We are willing to follow your lead!"

...

After eating and drinking, the banquet ended and the river gods left one after another.

After completely leaving the county town, some river gods gathered together and communicated in low voices.

"Tell me, how credible are Lord Song's words? Can he really build a temple for us?"

"It should be quite credible. After all, with his abilities, there's no need for him to deceive us. Since he dared to make such a promise, I think he must be confident."

The white-haired old man glanced at them and said, "Stop guessing. With your brains, what can you guess?

In my life, I only understand one truth. When there are things I can't figure out, just look at how smart people choose!

As for that old demon from Black Mountain, even though I am hundreds of thousands of miles away, I know his reputation.

This demon king is shrewd and cautious, brutal and cold-blooded. Even such a demon king is willing to serve as a steward under the lord. The ability of the lord Song, or the ability of his family, is definitely beyond our imagination. "

He took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with eagerness, "Everyone, that's the position of the River God of the Qiyun Dynasty. If we can really build a temple and worship it with incense, and use the power of incense to bless it, there is hope that you will reach the Fusion Realm in the future!

Just based on this point, no matter whether Lord Song’s promise will be fulfilled in the future, it is enough for us to give it a try!

It's only about a hundred years, so being a good river god shouldn't be that difficult for us, right?"

Everyone nodded, and a female river god was even more moved.

"I once heard a demon cultivator senior say that a thousand years of hard training is not as good as standing on the right side!

Hopefully, this time, we are on the right side!"

Chapter 658 The little deputy captain must be severely punished!

Outside the banquet hall, Victoria Song looked at the river gods walking away and was silent for a moment.

"Brother, I thought you were going to call them all over and catch them all in one fell swoop this time!"

Song Xuan sighed, "Maybe after living for a long time, I have learned to compromise.

If I were young, I would not spare any of these river gods who ate children.

But now, as the chief officer of Jianghe County, the first thing I have to consider is the living environment of the local people.

Jianghe County has many water bodies. With these river gods around, there is no danger of floods and fewer demons causing trouble. The living environment of the people is indeed much more stable than a hundred years ago.

After killing these river gods, even if we replace them with a new batch, they probably won't do better than these guys.

Rather than training a new batch, I'd rather use these ones that have already been subdued and become obedient. As long as they don't eat people anymore, I can give them another chance!"

Victoria Song nodded seriously, "I understand, you are just too kind-hearted and can't bear to see the suffering in the world!"

Song Xuan raised the corner of his mouth, "If you say so, I won't argue with you!"

"Husband!" Yao Yue said at this time, "Not everyone can sit on the throne of the Mountain God and Water God of the Qiyun Dynasty. It would be fine if my husband just verbally acknowledges their status as river gods.

But if temples were built for them and golden statues were made, it would be equivalent to the court's official recognition of their status as river gods.

It is unlikely that the court will agree. A hundred years from now, if my husband really wants to fulfill his promise, it will probably be quite difficult."

"What are you afraid of!"

Victoria Song didn't care at all, "A hundred years later, my brother will be invincible. Not to mention my brother, my Shura Sword will definitely be invincible too!

I particularly like what my brother said: My rules are the rules!

He's just a small river god. My brother can pardon him if he wants to. Does he need to consider other people's feelings?

Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed with one blow of my sword!"

Yao Yue's cheeks trembled and she rolled her eyes at Song Qian, but she didn't mean to refute.

I have to say, what Victoria Song said makes a lot of sense.

A hundred years is enough for them to enter the realm of martial arts.

Moreover, with my husband's solid foundation, he might even be able to overcome the first of the five declines of heaven and man.

After a tender time, my husband once said that if he could survive the first calamity of the celestial beings, he would be confident that he could fight even a celestial being head-on.

If this is true, my husband a hundred years from now can truly be called invincible in this world of all spirits!

Thinking of the invincible days in the future, she, who has always been calm, couldn't help but feel a little excited at this moment.

By then, she will travel with her husband to all seven dynasties of great fortune, and fly through the starry sky with her husband to experience the civilizations on various life planets. It is very interesting to think about it.

Song Xuan looked up at the sky, stretched, and said with emotion: "Speaking of which, I am also lazy and don't want to put too much energy into dealing with these trivial matters.

This will handle the River God's matter for now. From now on, you should be able to relax and spend more time on cultivation."

Not far away, Captain Zuo, who was holding the long sword at his waist with one hand, slowly withdrew his hand holding the sword.

Like Victoria Song, he had thought that the adults were going to kill people this time, but unexpectedly, things went very smoothly. Those river gods who had relied on the support of the demon king were unusually easy to talk to this time.

"Master, please focus on your cultivation. I will arrange for someone to handle the subsequent trivial matters!"

Song Xuan nodded and instructed Wan Jianyi, Ma Liang and the others, "You can't slack off in your work, but you can't neglect your cultivation either.

In this world, everything can be fake, only one's own strength is fundamental."

Several people clasped their fists and saluted, "We will obey your orders, sir!"

In fact, Song Xuan didn't need to say much, as everyone present naturally understood the importance of strength.

To be frank today, if Heishan, the demon king in the fusion realm, had not appeared as the steward, those river gods might not have accepted Song Xuan's new rules so easily.

"grown ups!"

Wan Jianyi said with some concern, "This time, we have arbitrarily changed the agreement signed by the inspector. If this matter is reported to the Tiannan Region Headquarters, the lord may be in trouble."

Song Xuan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. If the enemy comes, we will fight him. If the water comes, we will block it with earth. He doesn't bother me, but who knows, I will bother him in the future!"

The higher the rank of the position in the Imperial City Bureau, the greater the blessing of luck one will enjoy, but there are only so many high-level positions, and one position for each person. Unless someone retires or dies, the people below can only wait if they want to take the position.

In Song Xuan's mind, as long as those river gods follow the rules in the future, he can keep them alive.

But the Inspector of the Imperial City who signed the agreement that year had already been on his kill list.

How could a piece of trash who pushed his child out to be eaten by foreigners be worthy of holding a high position in the Imperial City Bureau?

...

In the following days, Song Xuan spent most of his time in seclusion with Yao Yue, and in a blink of an eye, five years had passed.

Over the years, as his understanding of the Five Elements Law became more and more perfect, his soul has begun to gradually move from the Five Elements Law to the laws of wind, ice, lightning, etc.

The more laws he comprehended, the faster his inner world expanded.

Faintly, Song Xuan began to have a feeling, the feeling of condensing the fruit of the Heavenly Dao.

This means that his foundation has been solidified and his accumulation is enough to break through and enter the realm of martial arts heaven and man.

But he did not break through directly. Instead, he suppressed the idea of ​​breaking through in his mind and continued to practice step by step.

The laws need to be further understood.

The inner world is still expanding steadily.

Only more than 10,000 acupoints in the body have been opened, which is still a long way from the 129,600 acupoints he calculated to be completely opened.

All these things have not yet reached their limits, so there is no need to rush for a breakthrough.

Song Xuan is very lazy in life. He has no requirements for the quality of life. He just wants to be casual and doesn't seem to have any pursuits.

But when it comes to spiritual practice, he has always had great ambitions!

For him, he either does not break through, but if he does, he must practice to the limit of what he can bear, and condense an unprecedented Heavenly Dao Fruit with infinite potential!
