Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Can Cong and Yufu, the Masters of Irrigation Port!

Temple Temple Eleventh Year.

The great battle surrounding Jing State has come to an end.

The Huang Cao forces suffered a setback heading south due to betrayal by the Yuan brothers from the north, and Jing State was entirely annexed by Jiangdong.

At the end of the Temple Temple Eleventh Year.

Chen Yixin seized Yizhou and successfully entered Shu, proclaiming himself as the governor of Yizhou.

At the same time, the faith in the Donghua Great God began to spread.

Jinn City, Donghua Temple.

The temple was ten zhang high, sprawling and majestic, with red walls and yellow tiles, resplendent and magnificent.

Inside the temple was a gilded statue of Donghua Great God Flipping Altar Ancestor.

Beside the ancestor stood the Great Judge Xi Fang, and further down were seven mythological creatures with human bodies and beast heads.

Leading them was Great General Yuann Hong, donned in a silver helmet and plain armor, adorned with red tassels, with white furry Duke of Thunder’s mouth, holding a Water and Fire Stick.

Lastly was General BaiYang Yangg Xian, wearing a golden crown, clad in Willow Leaf Armor, with a white face and long beard, his two horns imposing.

The White Ape, Water Buffalo, Hunting Dog, Wild Boar, Centipede, White Snake, and Goat were collectively known as the Seven Saints.

A grand lineup, dressed in luxury.

Not comparable to ordinary village deities, this was the Donghua Temple.

Behind the temple, inside the grand hall, were rows of pitch-black soldier and horse altars of Rampant Soldiers.

At the center of the dharma altar was a plaque named: Donghua Sect Leader, Temple Heaven King; beside it was a mysterious blind old Taoist guarding the incense offerings.

Indeed, Song Lin had changed his title again, with the internal ancestor master card worshiped by the water army raising its prestige significantly.

However, in rural villages and mountains, people preferred to call him Wulang God, Flipping Sky Inverted Wulang God, or Flipping Altar Ancestor, among others.

Within the Yin Soil, under the Cassia tree.

Song Lin sat meditating with the deities.

Name: Song Lin, Donghua Great God, Temple Ancestor.

Type: ghosts and gods

Realm: School Rank of the Netherworld

Taoist Realm: Three hundred and fifteen years

Divine Skills: Dreaming, bamboo divination, Cold Disease Skill, Soldier Formation Map, Wood Control Skill, Summoning Wood People Technique, Vomiting Miasma Technique, Water Technique, Water Snake Soldier Skill, Cloud Formation and Rainbow Breaking Skill, Northern Mysterious Sky Spell...

The temple has not been fully established throughout Yizhou, only about a third completed, but including the southern part of Jing State, there were over five million people, successfully advancing to the School Rank of the Netherworld.

Above that is the Capital Position with a population of ten million, and the General Position with fifty million.

A few days ago, after defeating the Water Snake Ann Liu King, Song Lin successfully comprehended the Rain Making Technique and the Water Snake Soldier Skill, hurriedly focusing on the production of Water Snake Soldiers.

Swoosh!

The Yin Wind blew, and Xi Fang brought the Seven Saints, arriving in front of Song Lin in a disheveled state.

"Lord, forgive my incompetence, the Erlang God at Dujiangyan refuses to yield, and a thousand two Erlang’s infantry guard Yu Lei Mountain closely, the Seven Saints cannot breach it, I request you intervene personally!"

"Understood."

Song Lin led the group and vanished from the spot.

Since entering Yizhou, he had not encountered the legendary Can Cong or Yufu, only a bunch of minor deities.

Later, he realized that the Taoist doctrine of Can Cong and Yufu might have been inherited by the Erlang God.

Legend has it that he was the second son of Li Bing, known as Li Erlang, also referred to as Erlang God or Lord of Sichuan.

This is the deity Lord of Sichuan Li Erlang, distinct from Yangg Jian, Yangg Erlang who split the mountain to save his mother.

Can Cong and Yufu are both titles of ancient Shu kings, possibly representing a group of people, or perhaps a single individual.

Can Cong is said to have vertical eyes, which aligns with the mythological image of the Erlang God, clearly indicating that the Erlang God is the heir to the Ancient Shu King.

Dujiangyan, Yu Lei Mountain.

A thousand two hundred fierce and evil Erlang’s infantry patrolled constantly, resembling Rampant Soldiers with blue faces, sharp fangs, and snarling mouths.

Unlike Rampant Soldiers, each of them possessed unique skills, carrying treasure bows, swords at the waist, an eagle perched on their shoulders, and a thin dog at their feet.

Upon the mountain’s throne sat a white-clad general, distinguished and noble, with dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, exuding an ethereal demeanor.

He bore a third eye on his forehead, wielding a prized silver bow adorned with carvings, with a large black dog lying at his feet.

This person was Lord of Sichuan Li Erlang, differentiated from Yangg Erlang by the absence of the Three-pointed Two-bladed Sword.

"Report! The enemy is approaching again!" came a report from Erlang’s infantry.

As soon as the words fell, countless dark clouds enveloped the sky.

"Hm? Men! Gather!!"

Erlang God tossed aside the wine jug, standing with a whoosh, as the Howling Celestial Dog howled to the sky, and one thousand two hundred Erlang’s infantry mustered together.

"Wait!! I’m not here to fight!"

Song Lin appeared above the sky, not displaying his dharma body but in a transformed human form.

"If you’re not here to fight, then what? Get lost, we will never surrender." Erlang God waved dismissively.

But in reality, he was wary of these unexpected guests; the strength of the Seven Monsters under this man’s command was formidable, and if the Donghua Sect Hierarch personally arrived, it would truly be overwhelming.

"How about this, in name only, you submit to me. I appoint you as the head of the martial generals, you’ll enjoy temple worship without usual duties, just hunting and playing with your brethren, how about that?"

Using different methods for different people.

He had done his homework beforehand.

According to this person’s background, if they had any intention, they could have unified the Shu land long ago, but Erlang God, aside from managing floods, was always hunting with Erlang’s infantry.

He didn’t even have a temple priest organization.

This person’s character was such that he highly valued loyalty and preferred a free-spirited life.

"If I join you, can you really ensure everything remains the same?" Erlang God contemplated slightly, clearly moved.

"Of course, I came here today with sincerity."

Song Lin waved his hand, and a hundred thousand Rampant Soldiers appeared in the sky.

Erlang God’s pupils contracted, knowing that if these Rampant Soldiers attacked, they would certainly meet their demise.

So, this was the sincerity.

Erlang God let out a bitter smile, the terms were indeed the best possible; allowing him to be carefree, even exempt from addressing water disasters.

"Li Erlang pays respect to the Lord!"

Thereafter, beside the right hand of Donghua Great God, there stood the white-faced silver-armored Erlang God.

In the days that followed, both the forces of the mortal world and the divine systems were recuperating, establishing temples on their territories, with only the north engaged in fierce battles for the northern dominant position.

Song Lin also took the opportunity to study pills and the Rampant Soldier Skill, primarily spending days in the real world, returning to the altar temple world during nights.

Temple Temple Twelfth Year.

Chen Yixin dispatched envoys to reach a truce agreement with the Xiang family, while Song Lin produced the Solid Aid Tiger Bait Pill, and the soldier refinement at the Yin Yang Altar showed significant results.

Temple Temple Thirteenth Year.

King of Wei Huang Cao defeated the Yuan brothers, establishing himself as the northern overlord.

Song Lin learned thirty-two powerful Taoist Soldier techniques including Ear-Reporting Child, Willow Tree Ghost, Heavenly Flight and Earthly Escape, and Rampant Soldier integration.

Temple Temple Thirteenth Year.

Huang Cao unified the north, while Song Lin digested the territories of Yizhou and southern Jing State, successfully advancing to the Capital Position, commanding five hundred thousand Rampant Soldiers, ten thousand Water Snake Soldiers, and three thousand Erlang’s infantry.

The world’s situation gradually became clear as various forces were amassing their strength.

......

Real World, Yin Yang Altar.

Song Lin paced as he reviewed the recent achievements, totaling one thousand five hundred dharma altars and twenty types of Rampant Soldiers.

This was the second batch.

"Zhou Xuan, make sure everything is done according to the system I’ve outlined. If there’s any casualties, I’ll hold you accountable, understood?"

"Yes, I understand." Zhou Xuan was the guardian of the dharma altar, and another warehouse official, Tongsou, was a disciple of Tongshou.

Song Lin’s abilities had gained recognition from all sides, not only refining soldiers quickly and with variety, greatly alleviating the Taoist Temple’s needs, but also reducing the casualties of Taoist disciples, hence being recognized as a rare talent in soldier refinement.

At this moment, a thousand paper crane flew over.

Song Lin opened the crane, revealing a line of words.

"Master Ziyuan has been dismissed!"
