    (Thank you, reader heathe, for your tip.) There is one advantage in troubled times. Everyone can arrange an official position for themselves without the consent of the government. The only difficulty for people is to be recognized by enough people. This is "enough".  More or less, thirty or fifty people are enough, and thirty or fifty thousand is not too much.  The title of "Yao Xiaowei" of the ancient divine religion was self-proclaimed. It was spread by word of mouth in the Jiangnan area, and many people knew about it. Therefore, when they heard that he had been invited, the whole town was shocked.  Although it is said to be a city, there are actually only five or six hundred residents, and they are survivors gathered from within a hundred miles nearby. After the Five Elements Tribulation, many similar towns appeared in various places. They suffered relatively little damage in the disaster.  Naturally, it attracts nearby refugees.  The original name of Captain Yao was Yao Queer. In order to commemorate General Mu, he called himself Captain to show his humility.  At dusk, he took his only entourage to the small town by boat. Most of the land routes of the Holy Talisman Dynasty were destroyed, and the waterways became the smoothest transportation lines. Most of the surviving human towns were built along the water.  ¡°More than half of the residents stood on the simple pier to greet the distinguished guests, and the remaining half were hiding underground. Today¡¯s world is not peaceful, and women and children dare not come out to meet people.  The small town used to be a big city, but now there are only a few sections of the city wall left, and not a single house is intact. Due to the rampant bandits, residents everywhere are unwilling to build new houses and would rather develop underground.  Lieutenant Yao was not surprised at all by this. For more than two years, this was the case in the towns and villages he had walked through. Those magnificent cities were now just the skeletons of giant beasts that were rapidly decaying. Looking back on the Shengfu Dynasty in the past, people would feel  It was a dream that never became reality.  The residents looked at the guests silently, feeling a little disappointed.  Wearing peasant-style shorts and trousers, with a bamboo hat on his head and three statues of gods hanging around his neck, Captain Yao looked more like a wandering beggar than a famous protector of the ancient divine sect.  Captain Yao is used to seeing this kind of expression.  He didn't take it seriously. The more troubled the times, the more people valued appearance. Thinking back to the beginning, he also regarded the ragged General Mu as a lunatic.  "I am Captain Yao, the Protector of the Ancient God Sect." He took off his bamboo hat and introduced himself, his eyes scanning everyone's faces one by one, "Time is running out, let's start setting up the formation." There are no officials in the city, the only one  The elder had no choice but to walk out of the crowd.  Dui smiled and said, "Won't Captain Yao understand the situation first?" "Let's talk as we do." Colonel Yao strode into the crowd, walked up to a high place, took a look, pointed to the northwest and said, "It's flatter there.  , you can set up a formation and call everyone out, the more the better." The crowd did not move. Captain Yao's confidence did leave a good impression on them, but it was not to the point of obeying his words.  Captain Yao was also not surprised by this situation and pulled off the statue from his chest.  Lift it high.  The clay statues shone like jewels, and at the same time, a red circle appeared on the foreheads of Captain Yao and his entourage, like a brand.  It's like a third eye, an eye like fire.  ¡° Miracles are always useful, and in a world that is rapidly collapsing, it is arguably the most useful piece of equipment.  The bright clothes and angry horses far surpass those of the rich and powerful, and are comparable to the emperor's guard of honor.  The Ancient God Religion is now an extremely common belief, and everyone on the dock has taken out their own idols.  I was surprised to see that it was also glowing, complementing the statue of Captain Yao.  Captain Yao held the statue high and walked toward the northwest. Everyone followed him unconsciously, and some people ran to call other residents.  The elder trotted to catch up, finally believing the rumors that had been heard for many days: Captain Yao was the messenger of the ancient gods, and he was the only one willing to provide protection to ordinary mortals.  It would be better if he flew here, the elder thought, and squeezed out more smiles on his wrinkled face, "There are seven monks in total. They came to our Divine Blessing City three days ago and set up spells around it.  , saying that they were allowed in but not allowed out, and asked us to prepare some gold, silver, and food, and we would pick them up at the second watch tonight. However, in this time of war and chaos, there were not many people alive, and there were robbers everywhere. There were at least three of them nearby.  Your Majesty, we are robbing people and goods every now and then. How can we have anything left to give to the monks? Their appetites are so big that they can get a hundred taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, and dozens of stones of food in their mouths. This was the prosperous age of those years" The elder kept insisting.  Captain Yao just nodded at his son's complaint. He had heard similar words many times and knew which ones should be taken seriously and which ones should not be ignored.  Shenyou City is not the original name of this place, but a new name given by the residents who took refuge. The more dilapidated the place, the brighter the name. There must be one of the words Shen, Emperor, Huang, Dao and so on.  The open space in the northwest was also filled with wood and stones. Captain Yao put away the statue and looked at it for a while. The miracle had been performed and it was time to do practical things. He said to his only follower: "Liu'er, the place is big enough."  Right? " Luo Xiaoliu'er is a strong young man, carrying a big burden.He was honest and nodded, "It can accommodate a thousand people." "We have a total of more than 500 people in Shenyou City." The elder interjected, saying that the space is enough.  "Then let's get started." Captain Yao walked to the middle of the open space and moved away the stones and wood blocks at his feet to create an open space of more than ten feet wide.  Luo Xiaoliu'er didn't even take off the baggage, he just carried it on his back and waved to the crowd following him, "Come here, I'll arrange your positions." Captain Yao is famous for being good at setting up formations. It is said that those who set up formations through him  The place will become safe, thieves will stay away, and loose cultivators will not invade.  The crowd was still a little timid. It was not until the elders nodded that they came over sparsely. Luo Xiaoliuer was not polite and directly designated a place for everyone and asked them to stand in several circles around Captain Yao. During this period, he rarely spoke and was always not tolerated.  Pointing doubtfully, the designated person must stand on it even if there are rocks that are hard on the feet.  Yao and Luo have experience. It is better to give orders than to explain. Mortals are more willing to believe in those who are confident.  The concentric circle formation was quickly formed. Luo Xiaoliuer returned to Captain Yao, put down his baggage, and retreated to his position in the innermost circle.  The elder was placed in the second circle and used the crutch in his hand to pull the stones at his feet.  Captain Yao looked around and saw only the old, weak, sick and disabled. Many of them had difficulty standing still and were shaking constantly.  The sun had set, and the howls of wild beasts could be heard outside the city. Colonel Yao walked to the edge of the open space, bent down to pick up a stone, raised it above his head and chanted a few spells, and the stone turned into an exquisite statue under the gaze of everyone.  The statue of the god shines brightly.  Like a thick candle.  Captain Yao placed the luminous statue on the edge of the open space and picked up another stone. As he cast the spell, the surrounding residents excitedly whispered and pointed, trusting this humble guardian a little more.  Seventeen stone statues formed a circle, illuminating the entire array.  ¡°This time I¡¯m not afraid of rogue cultivators.¡± The elder whispered with satisfaction, nodding at the residents.  ¡°Poof, seventeen rays of light were extinguished at the same time, and the statue turned back into stone. This was not a good sign.  Everyone was suddenly confused.  "Captain Yao, is there something wrong?" the elder asked loudly from a circle of people around him.  Captain Yao nodded, "No, there are too few people, and the power of the ancient gods cannot be exerted." "Almost everyone in the city is here, more than four hundred, isn't it enough?" The elder was surprised.  "More than four hundred young adults are definitely enough. You" Colonel Yao shook his head.  "The enemy is seven casual cultivators. Since they dare to come to ask for property, they must have some skills. I will not fight an unprepared battle. Please disperse and run for your own lives. Let's leave now." The formations are all in place. It's not easy.  The protector who was invited backed down.  Everyone panicked all of a sudden, some begged, and some reminded the two that entering and exiting Shenyou City was now allowed.  Lieutenant Yao ignored them all. Luo Xiaoliuer came over and picked up the baggage again.  The crowd was about to become chaotic. The elder hurriedly raised his cane to stop everyone from moving, and then said loudly to Captain Luo: "Wait a minute, there are still some people in the city. Is it enough to call them out?" Captain Yao still shook his head, "Everyone.  Five hundred people like you won't be enough. I thought the ancient gods could make an exception, but unfortunatelythe statue is broken and the magic circle is ineffective. You should collect some money and ask for mercy." Elder is urgent.  It would have been better if these two people had said no as soon as they landed. But step by step, everyone's confidence has increased, and it is difficult to accept the result of giving up halfway.  "Wait a minute, Lieutenant Yao, aren't all the people in the city like us? There are some young people They stayed at home to protect women and children, so they didn't come over. I'll call someone no, I'll go and get them all myself.  Call." The elder turned to leave, but Colonel Yao stopped him, "No, send someone else as soon as possible. If you can't defeat the rogue cultivators, you can't protect anything. Call everyone, even the newborn baby.  If you want to bring them, the ancient gods value numbers more than faith. If you don¡¯t want to trust the ancient gods completely, the ancient gods will naturally not protect you wholeheartedly.¡± Everyone claimed that it was true, and immediately two old men with more agile legs came to the city.  Center ran.  Captain Yao and Luo Xiaoliuer looked at each other. This was a common thing for them. Almost all surviving mortals were suspicious and would never reveal their entire family fortune at once.  Soon, nearly a hundred young men and women came running, blushing and holding their children.  Luo Xiaoliuer also arranged positions for them.  Captain Yao stopped talking about the insufficient number of people and stood there looking up at the night sky. The seventeen stones around him did not turn into statues, nor did they shine.  There were less than two quarters of an hour before the second watch. The elder became anxious and said, "Colonel Yao, there is no need to click"A statue of a god?  Captain Yao kept his eyes fixed, hummed a few times, and said in a slightly mysterious tone: "The Ancient God is not very happy."  " "Ah, everyone in the city has come out, why is the ancient god still not happy?  " Colonel Yao hummed a few more times, as if he was talking to someone invisible, and then turned to look at the elder, "The ancient god reminded me that you have treasures hidden here, and what the casual cultivators came to ask for was not gold or silver at all.  With food, but with that treasure.  The ancient god does not care about mortal things, but it does not like to be deceived.  "The elders and hundreds of residents were all stunned. They didn't expect the ancient god to know everything. "We really don't have any treasures here.  "The elder almost wanted to kneel down and beg. The enemy was about to attack, but the protector's questions came one after another. In panic, he had no choice but to tell the truth, "There is a child who is a bit special. He also has red on his forehead.  Circle, just like you.  " " Nascent Soul.  Captain Yao looked at Luo Xiaoliu'er, "Sure enough, the casual cultivators are here for this."  ¡± Luo Xiaoliuer opened the bag and revealed a bunch of magic weapons inside.
