Soon.
Li Youming brought his two sons to the Land God Temple.
The Land God Temple was built on a small hill on the north side of the village.
To the left of the Land God Temple, there was also a very old willow tree with many drooping branches.
"Desheng, Deming, hurry up and set up the shed."
Li Youming waved his hand and commanded.
With his sons around, why would he, the old man, need to do such things?
"Dad, do you really want to become the temple host of the Land God Temple?"
Li Desheng said with a bitter face.
He was quite robust, a head taller than Li Youming, and looked strong and powerful.
However, his martial arts aptitude was very poor. At twenty-eight years old, he had practiced 'Stone Cracking Palm' for more than ten years, but he still hadn't been able to transform his Qi and blood once, stepping into the 'Body Refining Realm' to become a martial artist.
"Is there any doubt about that?"
"Lord Zhang Yue appeared in my dream, your dad will be Lord Zhang Yue's representative in the human world from now on!"
Li Youming glanced at his eldest son, his hunched back straightening up a lot.
Li Desheng and Li Deming exchanged a look.
They could both see the helplessness in each other's eyes.
They didn't believe in Lord Zhang Yue appearing in a dream at all.
They felt that it was mostly their old man having such a dream.
However, the two brothers were quite in awe of their old man and didn't dare to refute him.
Anyway, they would do whatever their old man said.
Without much more nonsense, the two brothers began to build the shed, which was just picking up some wood and putting it together, which was not difficult for them.
At this time.
Some of the old people in the village also heard the news and immediately rushed over.
"Youming, did Lord Zhang Yue really appear in your dream?"
Li Youtang, leaning on a cane, trembled and widened his eyes.
He was five or six years older than Li Youming, and he was the oldest person in the entire Li Family Village.
"Youming, is it true or false?"
"Did Lord Zhang Yue really let you become the temple host?"
"Deyang told us that you are going to represent Lord Zhang Yue in the human world?"
"Could it be that yesterday's Strength Enhancing Grass was really enjoyed by Lord Zhang Yue?"
"Youping, the Strength Enhancing Grass must have been enjoyed by Lord Zhang Yue, don't you believe it?"
Seven or eight old men stood in front of the Land God Temple, talking all at once, several of them seemed quite excited.
Li Youming straightened his hunched back with effort and said proudly to these old brothers:
"Everyone knows what kind of person I, Li Youming, am."
"Last night, Lord Zhang Yue did indeed appear in my dream and asked me to represent Him in the human world."
"From now on, don't call me Youming, Youming anymore, you must call me Temple Host!"
Further away.
Village Chief Li Deyang had a strange expression on his face.
He carefully looked at Li Youming's expression and felt that it didn't seem like he was acting.
However, it was absolutely impossible for Lord Zhang Yue to appear in a dream.
It should be that Uncle Youming himself dreamed of Lord Zhang Yue.
His view was the same as that of the Li Desheng brothers.
After all—
He didn't believe that there were real gods.
Martial arts were the only thing!
He even felt—
Could it be that Uncle Youming secretly took the 'Strength Enhancing Grass', so he directed and acted out this scene himself?
It was just to make everyone believe more that the 'Strength Enhancing Grass' was enjoyed by Lord Zhang Yue.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the Li Desheng and Li Deming brothers.
The two brothers' martial arts aptitude was not good.
It was hard to guarantee that Uncle Youming didn't secretly take the 'Strength Enhancing Grass' in order to allow one of the two brothers to complete the Qi and blood transformation and advance to a martial artist.
"Alright, old brothers."
"It's almost Chen time, I'm going to kowtow to Lord Zhang Yue and officially become the temple host."
"Everyone be quiet."
After chatting with his old brothers for a while, Li Youming looked at the sky, his expression solemn and said in a deep voice.
He had the greatest prestige in the village, and when he looked serious, the other old men didn't dare to speak anymore.
One by one, they immediately retreated, staring without blinking.
And on the outside, many villagers who heard the news also gathered around, curiously watching.
Lord Zhang Yue appeared in a dream?
Uncle Youming/Grandpa is going to become the temple host?
This is a rare thing!
Their village's Land God Temple has never had a temple host.
"Li Youming, a believer of Li Family Village, kowtows to Lord Zhang Yue!"
"Li Youming is willing to become the temple host of Lord Zhang Yue and represent Lord Zhang Yue in the human world!"
Li Youming's expression was solemn, and he knelt in front of the Land God Temple, kowtowing three times and bowing nine times, and said loudly.
His voice was solemn and respectful, and it carried a kind of piety that everyone could feel.
All the villagers of Li Family Village around held their breath.
In front of the entire Land God Temple, it became so quiet that a pin could be heard.
… …
Inside the 「God Domain」.
Li Yue looked at Li Youming kneeling in front of the Land God Temple, his expression calm.
He stretched out his right hand.
Instantly—
Ten strands of divine power gathered and slowly formed a divine scroll shining with divine light.
The divine scroll had complex and obscure runes, and it also carried a kind of majesty.
This was the 'Temple Host Divine Scroll'!
A divine scroll specially used to confer the title of temple host!
When the divine scroll enters the body, one can possess a trace of the divine might!
Whoosh—
The 'Land God Seal' flew over and left a mark on this 'Temple Host Divine Scroll', instantly turning the original white 'Temple Host Divine Scroll' into a purple one.
"From this day forward, Li Youming will be my temple host."
"Representing me in the human world."
He spoke.
At the same time—
The 'Temple Host Divine Scroll' in his hand also turned into a purple light and flew out of the 「God Domain」!
… …
"From this day forward, Li Youming will be my temple host."
"Representing me in the human world."
A majestic and indifferent voice, as if coming from outside the heavens and earth, suddenly sounded in the sky above the Land God Temple.
This voice was high above, overlooking the earth.
Any villager who heard the voice seemed to see a god standing above the sky, with a blurred face, only his eyes were full of endless majesty.
A purple light flew out from the Land God statue and instantly merged into Li Youming's body.
Instantly—
Li Youming's gray hair turned jet black.
His hunched back straightened up.
The ravine-like wrinkles on his face faded away by more than half.
His originally somewhat turbid eyes became clear.
A faint scent of incense flowed from his body, as if he had become twenty years younger in this instant.
And his temperament was completely different from before!
All the villagers around were dumbfounded.
They heard the high and majestic voice of the gods.
They saw the earth-shattering changes that happened to Li Youming in an instant!
"Lord… Lord Zhang Yue has manifested!"
"Lord Zhang Yue really appeared in Youming's dream!"
"I just heard the voice of Lord Zhang Yue, am I not dreaming?"
"You… Youming has become younger! Lord Zhang Yue has manifested!"
One by one, the old men knelt down directly, kowtowing piously to the Land God Temple, and some even shed tears.
The rest of the villagers also knelt down one after another, their expressions extremely excited.
What did they witness?
Witnessed Lord Zhang Yue manifesting!
Their Li Family Village really has the protection of a god!
At this moment—
All the villagers around became a lot more pious.
Many villagers secretly made up their minds that they would offer incense to Lord Zhang Yue sooner or later in the future.
Maybe Lord Zhang Yue will bless their family even more!
"Does… Does a god really exist?!"
"Lord Zhang Yue has manifested?"
Village Chief Li Deyang was shocked and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
He felt a little dazed in his heart.
Could it be that gods really exist in this world?
Does their Li Family Village have the protection of a god?
He heard the high and majestic voice of Lord Zhang Yue just now clearly.
Uncle Youming's changes were also right in front of his eyes.
Lord Zhang Yue really exists!
