After a period of time, the news that the God of the Earth does not distinguish between good and evil and tolerates sinners is self-defeating.

Because there was a thief who believed in the God of the Land, but he came to the Yamen and surrendered. The county magistrate interrogated him why he threw himself into the trap.

He replied that under the throne of the God of Earth, there was a beast called Xiezhi, which could tell good from evil, distinguish right from wrong, and would even kill those who deserved death with their horns.

This made him shudder, if he continued to make small mistakes and accumulated big mistakes, he might not escape the punishment of the divine beast in the end.

In this way, the news of Xiezhi appearing and appearing within the scope of Mengyang Township was widely spread, and the people of the Yang Dynasty obeyed the law and did not dare to do evil things again.

The county magistrate Zou Wenyu also specially commended Mengyang Township Covenant below, praising Mengyang Township for not closing its doors at night and not picking up lost things on the road.

Regardless of whether the Xiezhi incident is true or not, the great governance of Mengyang Township cannot be faked. This is the political achievement of his county magistrate Zou.

Therefore, he didn't bother to care about the fact that the name of the land god was circulated privately in Yuannan County.

As long as he doesn't come out to compete with the royal family's ancestral temple for incense and belief, he has no control over whoever a small person believes in.

However, the families of several noble families in the county couldn't sit still. They were all families of the red mansion, and the red aura around the house enhanced their luck.

Where did the redness come from? The senior members of their family knew very well that half of it was the status and luck of the Yangshi family, and the other half was Yin Fu, the luck of the ancestors.

Just relying on sacrifices and offerings from the family members can only maintain the integrity of the family.

If you want your luck to rise, or even flourish, you need to attract other outsiders to offer incense and sacrifice to the ancestors,

Their ancestral temples are all open in the city, and they are open. Many ordinary people hope to be protected by high-status ancestors, and they will come to offer a stick of incense.

In addition, their family is usually in the ruling class, and a little publicity about supernatural powers can also attract many people.

The Yang Family Ancestral Temple is located in the most prosperous place in the city center, and there is an endless stream of tourists and pedestrians coming and going, and people usually go in to offer incense from time to time.

"I said old money, have you seen it? It's been a few days, and there are not many outsiders except my own family members." At the gate of the ancestral hall, a luxuriously dressed scholar and the housekeeper had a bad face.

Housekeepers are six out of fifty, and they are the sons of the Yang family. They have been working for the Yang family since the previous generation, and they are very trusted by the master.

"Old Qian, you didn't send someone to send a letter to the second child? He is a teacher, why is he only patronizing the students of the county school, regardless of the family." The scholar continued to ask.

The old housekeeper hurriedly replied: "Patriarch, I have already sent someone to the county school to deliver the letter, and the second master replied that he is waiting for his good news, and he will fulfill his duty of enlightenment."

"What did you say? Teacher Yang is going to teach the children, and anyone in the county who is free can attend." Yan Zhen was startled when he heard the news from his servant at home.

Could it be that the teaching has to assess the children?No, no, no, children usually can't even enter the county school, it shouldn't be.

Yan Zhen's first reaction after hearing the news was not to teach the class, but to tell him what he wanted to do.

Because the teaching is just the deputy of the teaching, the ninth rank official, there must be a hint from the teaching to do what he wants to do.

But when Yan Zhen came to the county school and listened to Yang Jing's lecture, he understood that this was definitely Yang Jing's own doing.

The lectures were all about celebrities who had been born in the county before, and they also focused on the great achievements of the ancestors of the five major families, who has been a few officials, and what good things they have done during their tenure.

So they still have spirits after death, and they can protect future generations. They can go to worship these imperial examination seniors, and maybe they can bless their high schools.

In short, overtly and secretly, the children were asked to go to the ancestral halls of their big families, especially the Yang family.

The ancestors of the Yang family were born in Juren, and they had achieved Qipin county magistrate, which became a good talk for a while.

Juren can be an official, but often it is the second official. It is true that the honor of a county is rarely held by a juren. At that time, it was only through the emperor's kindness.

Encouraged and lured by this teacher Yang, many young students who wanted to make progress became emotional one after another, wondering if they should go to incense sticks to seek literary luck.

But they also don't think about it, the Wenwu Temple is next to the imperial ancestral temple, wouldn't it be more practical to go to the Confucian Temple to seek cultural luck?

Yan Zhen kept his expression on the sidelines, scoffing in his heart, these big families are a little anxious, they are still land masters.

As the only son of Jinshi, Yan Zhen naturally also heard about the inside story after death.

Although his family has no ancestral spirit, as long as his father is not deprived of his Jinshi background, he can properly become the ancestral spirit of the Yan family after his death, which will keep his Yan family prosperous for several generations.

Besides, he is a person who has seen the supernatural powers of the land, how could he be tempted by the little ancestor spirit of the Yang family.

It's better to convey the news to the land god first. He knows that his own land master will take over the county sooner or later, so he naturally needs to pay more attention to the county's movements now.

The major temples and several important believers are all high priorities in Chen Yao, so he will soon know the news of the actions of the major families.

Although the county magistrate "doesn't care about things", these families do not express their belief in moving the earth god.

But as these sacrificial people are attracted by him, sooner or later they can't help but really do it.

After Chen Yao thought about it, he decided to press the speed of infiltration into the county first, and play a few more chess pieces to be safe.

After investigating Sun Liangcai's character, Chen Yao specially bestowed on Li Yaowu a little magic trick, which allowed him to quickly establish prestige among the county soldiers, and even though he was a civilian, he could lead soldiers.

It's not that Li Yaowu was very appreciated by Sun Liangcai because of his extraordinary force. Not only did he not alienate Li Yaowu because of his belief in the God of the Earth, but he regarded him as a confidant.

He was born in martial arts, and he doesn't really believe in gods, gods and ghosts. He has always only believed in power.

He has a general under his command and an army in his hands. When this troubled world comes, he will not be afraid of you, ghosts and snakes.

Although he is not the head of the family, but as far as he is the most powerful and powerful, the Sun family has no choice but to order the clansmen to sacrifice more frequently.

With the precedent of this chess piece, Chen Yao is not in a hurry. He will first develop more believers in private, and it would be better if he can "instigate rebellion" with a few more family members.

There are still many townships outside the county seat for him to expand, and he will face too much resistance if he enters the county seat directly.

Not only was the Immortal Crane Temple staring at him, but even the magistrate Zou Wenyu, who was somewhat relaxed, would not agree. The court would not let him go if Longting's interests were damaged.

Next, we still have to deal with Dialect's side well. They all have their own limits, and it depends on who makes the first move.

Dialect is also receiving guests from several big families at this time, they are all here to ask Xianyun Guan to help, especially after learning that the immortal master is coming, they are even more enthusiastic.

"Mr. Xu, please come back for now. After we have discussed the next step, we will let you know." As the dialect picked up the teacup, Xianyun got up to see off the guests with a wink.

After the guests were gone, Xianyun asked curiously: "Why didn't Senior Brother Fang accept these families for refuge? They are considered to be quite powerful in this county."

"It's not that I don't accept it, it's that the time has not yet come. Everything has to wait for the news from Yongshan. It is a taboo to be attacked on both sides." On Fang Yan's face, there was no anger after the previous plan was frustrated, and he was still very calm.
