Chapter 1536 General
"The earth is the cultivator?" Xue Jian and Jing Tian looked over in confusion.
The two of them looked curious and satisfied Guan Liyuan's vanity, they also "popularized science" them!
This thing was also learned by Guan Liyuan in Zixuan's jade slip, which contains several methods of practicing the incense path.
As the name suggests, it is a way of cultivation that relies on incense to create the body of the temple god.
However, human cultivators rarely practice incense, which is not a matter of talent, but more because of nature. When human cultivating incense, they are prone to really treat themselves as a high-ranking god, and then forget themselves and develop in the direction of cults...
The ending is often either destroyed by other Taoist sects or killed by backlash when they pass the tribulation.
On the contrary, some spiritual demons may be "survived", such as the "Five Immortals" in the mountains and forests, which refer to five monsters that are easily derived from the incense path - weasels, foxes, hedgehogs, snakes, and rats.
For the demon race, it has much more promising than the way of blood and food. It is better to have a longer life span, and to cultivate merit and power and benefit one side, it can weaken the disaster...
Of course, there are only people who commit suicide in the demon clan, such as suddenly sending tribute to boys and girls, which are often wiped out faster, and once they practice the way of blood and food, the disaster will be more fierce.
According to Zi Xuan's comments, in addition to its long lifespan, the most outstanding advantage of incense is that it has very low requirements for understanding, but it also has a great flaw. The upper limit is basically determined to die in a thunder tribulation. Moreover, if it leaves the scope of sacrifice, its power will drop greatly, and the destruction of the temple body will cause great damage to its vitality. If it does not cultivate merit and harmony, it is easy to get started - there is no future.
Especially in some remote places, some people who think they are smart only rely on intimidation and threats to force others to worship temple gods. There is resentment hidden in the incense, and the spiritual energy they cultivate is also mixed, which is no different from the way of blood and food...
Compared with mountains and forests, coastal areas are more likely to be born only...
After all, going out to sea is not only more dangerous for ordinary people, but also more uneasy. In addition, there are more opportunities to save people in the sea - saving a few ships of people, and their reputation will be promoted!
After hearing that there was only land in Zhenjiang, Guan Liyuan simply took Xuejian that night and Jing Tian went to the "Zhenjiang General Temple".
The temple is on the edge of the city and does not occupy a large area. It only has a main sacrificial hall and a small house where the old temple Zhu lived. However, the painted bricks are very new and the incense is very popular. It is not that there are people coming to worship at night, but Guan Liyuan opened his eyes with all his might and could see the incense.
I heard from the waiter that this temple has been around for more than 400 years. I think the main body of the temple god should be a demon clan. After all, even the human race is half immortal, it will not live for two hundred years. The lifespan of the incense Taoist practitioners will not double. What's more, Guan Liyuan really doesn't believe that you can meet half immortals at will!
However, for more than four hundred years, this small temple has been renovated frequently.
This is not surprising. After all, there are many maritime merchants who go out from Zhenjiang, all of whom are rich. If the fleet is occasionally rescued once, it will definitely renovate the General's Temple. Sometimes it will even successfully run into a big business, which has nothing to do with the "General" and will be considered as the General's blessing.
If it weren't for the fact that there were only a few old temple blessings in this temple, it would be impossible to prevent theft at all, and it wouldn't be surprising to cultivate the golden body!
"Ah! You, who are you?" An old Miaozhu was shocked when he heard the sound.
Guan Liyuan looked at him with resentment, as if saying: It was your magic sword that scared others!
Sedum:???
Jing Tian felt very wronged. The magic sword was clearly wrapped. No matter how you look at it, are you scared?
Although there are not many people with strange hair and eyes in the world of Fairy Sword, it is still scary to appear in the middle of the night!
"Don't worry, old man! Although my little brother, although he looks fierce, he is not a bad person..." Guan Liyuan stepped forward to explain.
Those who don’t know thought he was from the Tang Dynasty in the East.
Old Temple wishes:...
"Well, if you want to be the general, come back tomorrow morning. The temple will not be opened at night." Lao Miao Zhu said.
"Oh no, we are not going to be the general, but we are asking for trouble if we have any questions." Guan Liyuan said.
Just when the old temple was inexplicably prayed, the divine light appeared behind Guan Liyuan - only Jingtian and Xuejian behind saw it, Guan Liyuan used a "fire curse" behind him!
"You, you...Ah, are you an immortal?" Lao Miaozhu almost bit his tongue.
"Immortals dare not behave, they just want to send a letter to the sea for Shushan. Please ask the general to open the sea." Guan Liyuan would be slandering, after all, Xu Changqing didn't know him.
Laomiao Zhu immediately invited Guan Liyuan and the other two to come in, but he regretted that Guan Liyuan did not let him watch and invite the gods.
I saw Guan Liyuan coming to the main hall where the temple was worshipped, locking the old temple Zhu outside, then circled the statue three times left and three times right, and called "General Zhenjiang" in each circle...
The temple statue looks like a big belly leather-armored general riding a carp. He holds a double whip in his hand and paints a copper paint, looking majestic.
Six sounds of temple names were settled, and then a phantom of a carp condensed from the temple statue and floated in front of Guan Liyuan and the other two.
"Huh? Are you the mount of General Zhenjiang? Are you a carp?" Xue Jian asked curiously.
The big carp was born with a good temper or felt Xue Jian’s righteous aura in the dark, but said honestly: “I am a golden carp into the sea, but I am not a mount… This temple body is just a convenient way to worship.”
Sure enough, Guan Liyuan said that this general should not be a human race... This carp is the original body!
"Don't carp live in the river? Are you lost?" Xue Jian said in confusion.
General:...
"No, some carp can survive in light salt water, that is, near the coast. Only when laying eggs, they will return to fresh water, such as pointed-fin carp." Guan Liyuan said knowledgeably from the side.
"So that's it." Xue nodded in enlightenment.
General:...
Is it really good for you to talk about carp spawning in front of this general?
"Sharp-finned carp, sharp-finned carp, we want to go to Penglai, can you send us? Can I repair the golden body for you?" Xue Jian asked maliciously and cutely.
"Don't harm me, my merits cannot be carried away by the golden body... and it is not a pointed-fin carp, but a golden carp into the sea! Ah... it is a general, a general!" The general corrected.
"Then you send us to Penglai, or I will cultivate the golden body for you... all the golden ones!" Xue Jian said domineeringly.
General:...I think you are making things difficult for me General?
Guan Liyuan grabbed her and bowed to the general, "My friend is joking, General, don't be surprised. In fact, we are entrusted by Shushan to send a letter to Penglai... If the general is willing to open the door of convenience, Guan is very grateful. And when I came in, I found that there were some arrangements in the general's temple, which seemed to be omitted. If the general doesn't mind, I can give instructions on the temple blessings and re-arrange them."
When the general heard Shushan, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid and a little distant. When he heard Penglai, his eyes were slightly moved, and when he heard the words behind him, his eyes shone.
The practice of the earth only requires low understanding, but it requires a complex "ritual sense", otherwise the efficiency of incense conversion will be greatly reduced!
