East of the prefecture capital, Wang Family Mansion.
A plain-looking carriage stopped for a moment. Wu Ming opened the curtains and squinted his eyes.
"The red aura outside the mansion is flowing, and the golden aura of fortune is filling the mansion. It can indeed be called the Huang Mansion. Good fortune will last for a long time, and it is also protected by a large amount of virtue … The golden star in the middle must be the Shing Wong Palace …"
"Let's go!"
After giving the order, Wu Tiehu immediately drove the carriage away. From an outsider's point of view, the fact that the carriage had stopped for less than a minute was nothing at all.
However, Wu Ming, who was in the carriage, was overwhelmed with emotions. "Looking at both sides, although the magistrate's mansion still has the majestic aura of law, formed into edicts, and has the yellow aura, it is clearly weak. It can deal with the Wang Family, but with the Shing Wong Palace, it will be at a disadvantage …"
"Furthermore, it is also surrounded by the greyish-black aura. Obviously, disaster is not far away!"
Before he came to the Wang Family, Wu Ming specially went to the magistrate's mansion to take a look.
The dragon aura of the people path was about governance. The red majestic aura of law formed the backbone, controlling the white aura of the commoners, and formed the yellow aura in the magistrate's mansion.
Even so, there was still a division, and at least half of it was taken by the Wang Family.
The comparison between the people's will and the influence of the people was rather dangerous.
"Furthermore … I don't control the army, so I don't have any military power …"
Wu Ming, who had been a capital commander and was appointed as a county lieutenant, was very clear about this.
The structure of a prefecture was very similar to that of a county. There was also a magistrate, a magistrate, and a county lieutenant. These were the three highest ranking officers.
Among them, the magistrate had a high position, but didn't wield any power. He only had some reputation, and now that he had sided with the Wang Family, it wasn't worth looking forward to.
The remaining county lieutenant could control two thousand soldiers, and this was very important!
In peacetime, a county lieutenant could control three to five hundred soldiers at most. The two thousand soldiers of the county lieutenant were almost half of the entire prefecture's military power. Suppressing the prefecture city was as easy as flipping a palm.
"Based on the current situation, the Wang Family is the only hope of Chu Feng Prefecture, and their strength is number one. The Li Family is the magistrate, but they are ranked below it. The lord is weak, and the vassals are strong. This is dangerous … If I don't have military power, and can't use the Thunder and Thunder Crusade, I can only be meat on the chopping block …"
"Young master, we have arrived at the Shing Wong Temple!"
Wu Tiehu's voice suddenly sounded.
Wu Ming looked outside. The first thing that entered his eyes was an extremely vast field. In front of it were densely packed stone tablets, all of which were the records of the many expansions and constructions left behind by the literati.
The people in front of the temple were bustling with activity.
This was only during normal times. If it was the temple fair on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, it would be even more bustling.
Further ahead was the main structure of the Shing Wong Temple.
The temple covered an area of about ten mu, facing south. There were three entrances inside, divided into three halls. The first hall, also known as the front seat, was a double eaves resting on the top of a mountain, with a double layer of brick and wood structure. On the left and right side, there was an east and west gate. In the middle, there was a curved wall with a giant colorful qilin image. Inside, there were east and west stables, with a big saddled horse and a god statue of the groom, vivid and lifelike, appearing solemn and mighty.
In the middle of the main entrance, there was a hexagonal stage. The edge of the stage was carved with flowers, birds and human figures, and it was painted in five colors. The top of the stage was an octagonal arch, with an intricate structure. In front of the stage was a hall for the audience to watch the play, with small courtyards on both sides. Outside the courtyards, there was a ring building and a wing room below, specially for women and children to watch the play.
The second hall, also known as the middle seat, had six wing rooms on both the east and west sides, where the civil and military judge, General Gan Liu, General Fan Xie, General Niu Ma, the God of Day and Night, General Jia Suo, and the 24 Divisions of the City God's subordinates were worshiped.
On the left and right side of the third hall was a bell and drum tower. In the middle of the hall, there was the statue of the City God, tall and majestic. In front of it, there was an offering table that was two feet long and five feet wide. On the table, there were cups and plates arranged neatly, offering fresh flowers, fruits, wine, tea, incense, and candles.
Outside the hall, there was a huge copper furnace, burning with a raging flame. Incense smoke lingered in the air. After the worshipers finished offering their incense, they only needed to throw it in and it would immediately burn to ashes.
"What a wonderful scene! What a good scene! "
At this moment, Wu Ming naturally didn't enter and just looked on from the outside. He saw the red energy surging over like a wave, turning into a patch of gold in the center. Together with the incense and wish power, it turned into some sort of power and entered a piece of spiritual land. He couldn't help but sigh.
The atmosphere of the Governor's manor used laws as the core, the Human Dao Dragon Energy that ruled over tens of thousands of people!
As for the luck of the City God Temple, it used merit, karma, and wish power as the core. It could help to increase one's virtue and cause good fortune to last for a long time.
In terms of majesty, naturally the Human Dao Dragon Energy was a notch higher. However, it had a long source and lasted for a long time, the luck of the gods was much higher.
"This is …"
At this moment, looking closely, Wu Ming's face was filled with rage, "How dare you!"
He saw red stars wrapped around military energy as they entered the luck of the City God.
Instantly, he knew that the faith of the City God was like an invisible net, connecting the Wang Family and forming a complicated network.
Looking at the situation, many of the high ranking officers of the county troops were roped in. His heart turned cold.
"If the Wang Family did it themselves, once they found out about it, it would be a disaster. But now, they are using the faith of the City God to connect the dots, it is really hidden … If not for my Heaven's Eye, normal cultivators wouldn't have been able to notice it even if they opened their spiritual eyes …"
Wu Ming laughed coldly. Just as he was about to analyze it, he suddenly shook.
The incense burned, and the power of will formed into a golden flower. The spiritual land trembled, and a golden figure appeared. He looked over with his golden eyes.
"This is definitely the City God King! It seems like he is still lacking a little! "
A Grade 5 City God's body was pure gold. However, this person still had a bit of red color, it was obvious that he wasn't perfect.
Even so, in this county city, the Yin World Nether World contained the luck of all living beings. Once he attacked, it would be earth-shattering. Even Enlightened Masters would have to avoid him.
"Let's go! There is no need to stroll around, let's head back to the inn! "
Naturally, the current Wu Ming was no match for him. He rubbed his eyes, which were stinging from the pain, and instructed.
"Alright!"
Although he didn't know what his young master was doing, Wu Tiehu kept his mouth shut and didn't ask any questions. He drove the carriage away slowly.
Nightfall.
In the courtyard of the Ma Family Inn, there was a bean-sized light.
Wu Ming sat cross-legged, thinking about what he had seen and heard today.
"In terms of atmosphere, the Wang Family is number one and the Governor Manor is number two. At this time, the County Lieutenant's inclination is very important … It is a pity that this person is impartial and his military power has been eroded by the City God …"
Wu Ming was deeply aware of the pervasiveness of this God's faith.
Normal soldiers and even officers would have families, right?
The Temple of the City God could borrow the backyard and slowly influence them. Although it would take a long time, it would be very effective.
When the day came, even if the County Lieutenant didn't agree, there was nothing he could do.
"Let's not talk about then, it is already very dangerous now …"
Wu Ming's eyes were deep. Although he hadn't seen the atmosphere of the County Governor and the Wang Family Head, he could see that one of them was like a dragon and the other was like a sun that was setting in the west.
With such a thought, he made a decision.
He reached into his robes and took out the Suihou Pearl. The pearl shone brightly and he could see golden and green energy rising. There was also a purple energy that was like a flood dragon and python, floating and sinking.
He then took out a Coiling Dragon Jade Pendant. The quality of this jade pendant could only be said to be ordinary, but the carving was not bad. The Coiling Dragon had a lifelike feel to it and it was something he bought today.
The Coiling Dragon referred to a dragon that lay dormant on the ground and didn't ascend to the sky. There was a saying among the people that the Coiling Dragon was a hornless water dragon that was inferior to the flood dragon.
As for the Taiping Imperial Survey, it said, "The Coiling Dragon is forty feet long, greenish-black, with a scarlet belt like embroidery. It often goes down with the water and enters the sea. It is poisonous and will kill anyone it hurts. "
It mixed the Coiling Dragon, flood dragon, and snake together.
No matter what, the Coiling Dragon had the nature of a dragon. Its status was above that of a python, but it was inferior to a flood dragon.
"This level, no more, no less. That's more suitable …"
Wu Ming chuckled, his expression turning solemn as he tapped the Suihou Pearl with his finger.
Weng weng!
Amidst the faint dragon roar, a strand of Dragon Qi that was as thin as a strand of hair and had a bluish-purple color was extracted.
"Order!"
At this moment, Wu Ming was the owner of the Suihou Pearl. He silently cast a spell and wiped the dragon energy on the Coiling Dragon Jade Pendant.
The jade pendant suddenly flashed with a burst of brilliance, a faint green color, and a flash of purple Qi. A moment later, the strange phenomenon completely disappeared.
"Success!"
When Wu Ming saw this, he smiled in relief and looked at it carefully.
There weren't many changes to the jade pendant, but the Coiling Dragon seemed to be more lively and nimble, showing signs of flying.
In the middle of the Suihou Pearl, the golden-green cloud energy rumbled and was no different from before. Only the purple snake seemed to be a tiny bit smaller. If one didn't look closely, it would be hard to notice.
"This Earth Dragon Energy is still sufficient …"
When Wu Ming saw this, he smiled, "It was more than enough for me to cultivate to Perfected Being. It isn't much for me to give out a bit now … Moreover … this dragon energy was refined by me and given to me … If I accept it, there will be karma. In the future, my achievements will be repaid tenfold. Furthermore, if I am the enemy, I will be countered …"
"The County Governor wasn't able to defeat the Wang Family because of the situation. The Imperial Court is weak and unable to borrow strength. Instead, it became a shackle. At this moment, if I give this item over, I will definitely break free from the shackles and soar into the sky!"
When luck comes, everyone works together, but when luck passes, the hero doesn't have freedom.
In the past, although the County Governor had the name of righteousness, as long as he didn't have anything on the Wang Family and was afraid of the law, he couldn't do too badly.
However, if he was to be independent, he would be able to control life and death. Naturally, things would be different.
"However … not every fate can absorb this bit of Dragon Energy. I have to look at fate one by one …"
Wu Ming suddenly laughed. "I don't know if this counts as a hidden dragon?"
To be able to create clouds with the flip of one's palm, rain with the flip of one's palm, even affecting the momentum of the Earth Dragon. For a County Governor to be so calm and unperturbed, to normal people, it was really a deep and dignified person. However, Wu Ming wasn't too happy. He had seen the main hall of the Myriad Worlds, so what was the gain or loss of a city?
