Chapter 20: The Spiritual Realm of the Dao Field

  Why else would the villagers behind the mountain refuse to offer sacrifices to the gods, and instead offer them to the land?

  The idol in the temple has been taken away by the people from behind the mountain, so it's not good to come and grab it again. So, according to the old rules, they came to the front of the altar in the back of the mountain, took away half of the soil, and went back to set up another altar.

  The old rules are like this. A village without a shrine is allowed to receive various benefits from a village with a shrine, and after obtaining consent, the shrine is moved.

  But this time it's different. Liu Yi is no longer called the God of Society, but is now referred to as the Land Boundary Guardian Deity Statue.

  This is troublesome, and old conventions are no longer effective. No one knows whether this time the relocation of the ancestral land will be effective or not.

  Fortunately, at this time, Zhang Wang appeared and communicated with the spirit. The villagers from Fengli Village came to Zhang Wang's house, bringing gifts and asking her to communicate with the spirit.

  Yu Shu covered his face with his sleeve and walked away. The villagers didn't think much of it and continued to invite the gods.

  In this world, there are Confucians who study for fame and fortune, can communicate with ghosts and gods, and govern. The so-called Confucian scholars have the meaning of communicating with ghosts and gods.

  But the ones who communicate with ghosts and gods can only be called witches! So, as a scholar, Yu Shu covered his face and walked away. Everyone knew in their hearts that this was not opposition, but rather avoiding suspicion.

  How many scholars are there in this world? Those with great fame and wealth, how would they communicate with the gods for ordinary people? It's already a common thing for folk to use mediums.

  However, Yu Shu still had to avoid suspicion. After all, he would have to go on to study and travel in the future!

  Under the gaze of Zhang Wang's expectant eyes, her whole body trembled like sifting chaff. Gradually, her two eyes rolled back, only showing the whites, and no longer seeing the pupils.

  This scene, Liu Yi saw clearly, he has now become the land god of Shanhou after, the entire region of Shanhou, all turned into Liu Yi's domain. All movements, as long as Liu Yi had the heart to check, could be seen clearly.

  Right then, with great interest, he watched the commotion, and saw that Zhang Wang's whole body was trembling, a strange power suddenly turned over and connected Liu Yi through Zhang Wang.

  This made Liu Yi suddenly enlightened, so this is what it means to be in spiritual connection? He thought that last time, in order to save Zhang Wangshi's life, he had infused his own divine power into her, and the two of them had established another kind of connection. At that moment, his subconscious mind stretched out to her.

  At this time, Zhang Wang's whole body was shocked, and in a daze, the air changed greatly, and it had already turned into Liu Yi's tone.

  "Give me back the idol," Liu Yi said: "Build a temple for me. The portrait is under the feet of the idol..."

  After a few words, Zhang Wang's body trembled again, and she regained consciousness. She looked like she had just been pulled out of the water, almost fainting.

  The land is a new god; no one knows its law. Once spoken, the listener's heart has already counted it. Knowing the rules.

  At that time, he picked up a painting under the foot of the statue. After taking a look, it not only had the appearance of the statue but also the design of the temple.

  "This land god is indeed omnipotent!" Everyone sighed after seeing this blueprint.

  It was the elderly people in Fengli who saw it with their own eyes. Looking at them, they were vivid and lifelike, and it was simply not possible for even the most skilled painter to capture such images. Each and every one of them was convinced!

  Everyone nodded in agreement when they saw it. Seeing this temple, it was not difficult to build, but rather more grand and solemn.

  Originally, this She God had no temple and was exposed to the outside, representing the earth, with only a altar. When this temple was built, it became the replacement of the Land God.

  Then, both villages became busy, and it was truly winter. During the slack season of farming, they had leisure time to spare, and soon the temple was built.

  However, at Liu Yi's request, he abandoned the common construction method of rammed earth walls in this world. Instead, he used square wooden structures with dougong brackets and eaves, creating a unique architectural style with concave and convex shapes that complemented each other.

  This building pattern was also flipped out by Liu Yi in a certain book in the supermarket, and it looked beautiful.

  Wood was plentiful in an era where forests covered everything, but mortise and tenon joinery had yet to be developed.

  But in Liu Yi's hands, it wasn't a problem. Spending a little money could buy nails from the supermarket and solve the problem!

  The entire building is not large, just about the size of a single house. In the village, there are naturally households with equipment that have been drying for several years, such as beams, which were used. It only took a few days to build the prototype.

  At the same time, in that spiritual realm, Liu Yi's Taoist temple was also transformed into a different appearance every day, settling down and turning into an entire courtyard.

  But it is much more beautiful than the buildings in the mortal world, with a three-story square pavilion, each floor having a bracket-supported eave, and on top of which is placed a flat sitting platform. It can block out the sun, avoid rain, and gaze into the distance...

  Of course, in this spiritual realm, it's too small and can't be used anymore.

  The entire dojo is now almost one mu in size. A faint glow shoots down from the sky, cutting off the surrounding darkness.

  Liu Yi was very satisfied with all this, thinking back to when he was a lonely and homeless soul, hiding in the broken temple, afraid of thunderstorms. Now, looking back, he couldn't help but feel infinite nostalgia.

  Think about it, this world is actually quite similar to the ancient times of his own world. In his original world, temples were also where government offices were located.

  Until Emperor Ming of Han welcomed back Buddhist scriptures in the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, after which Buddhism was introduced to China and temples were built as places for worshiping Buddha.

  This world is also roughly the same, what Liu Yi is doing now can be considered as pioneering in this world.

  Thinking of it, I felt joyful in my heart. But for no reason, a sense of unease suddenly arose within me.

  "Danger is approaching!" Although there was no divination magic that predicted this. But with the ghostly intuition, having such a premonition wouldn't be wrong.

  "Isn't it the god of weeds? Cutting grass without removing its roots, isn't it true that with the arrival of spring breeze, it will grow again?"

  Thinking about it, I feel a little regretful in my heart, but at that time, it was also an unavoidable thing. At that time, I could drive away the Shigami with my spiritual body, which was already not bad. There was no power to put it to death.

  But now it's different, I've sat firmly on the throne of the land god, and accumulated more than a thousand points of divine power. If that village god dares to come back again, I'll make sure he has no chance to escape!

  In his heart, he was seething with anger, but what Liu Yi was worried about was that if this guy were to call for reinforcements, how would he deal with it? A straightforward battle with swords and guns wouldn't be a problem for Liu Yi. However, recalling the last time, the Village God had actually invited two tax officials over. This made things a bit tricky!

  But at this moment, on the not-too-high sky curtain, another beam of light shot down. The fragrance of incense and the spiritual energy of the earth's veins mixed together and poured down, causing the altar to emit a loud rumble. The dark boundaries around it were also constantly rolling and expanding.

  "It's from Fengli's side..." Liu Yi was overjoyed and knew that Fengli had made her move.
