Unfortunately, the ground is different from the statue of the gods. The back is smooth and there is nothing particularly obvious about it.

I searched around carefully on the ground, but still found nothing. For this, I was criticized by the ghost old man, who almost regarded me as a pervert.

I was too lazy to argue with him, and felt a little disappointed. Could it be that I guessed wrong this time?

The hands of Li Guan are different from those of ordinary people. When I was very young, my father would make a medicinal soup with some traditional Chinese medicine and let me wash my hands morning and night. After washing, I would feel that the skin on the palms of my hands was extremely sensitive. Sometimes the pain would be so intense that I felt like I had to rub the skin off my palms when I was sweeping the floor. It was quite painful. I was extremely disgusted with this. When I asked my father why, he didn’t explain and just made me do it over and over again. Things didn't stop until my soul was completed at the age of twelve.

Later, through some books at home and a few words from my dad, I learned that this is to cultivate the sensitivity of the palms, which is used to touch some very hidden mechanisms.

Of course, this child's skill is not as exaggerated as I imagined. It is just more sensitive than ordinary people. It can even compete with some blind people. When I close my eyes and touch other people's handwriting, I can clearly feel it. Find all the lines to determine what character it is.

Now I can't feel anything strange with my hands, which makes me hesitate.

However, I soon became determined again.

If this mechanism is really so easy to find, the inheritance under the Three Temples would have been poached by the ancestors of Heixiazigou, so where would Ma Liuzhi still be?

I felt that I must have overlooked something, and carefully reviewed the entire sacrificial process that the ghost old man said...

No matter what, I have to play the role of a worshipper and experience the whole process.

However, I am not in the village now, where should I go to bathe and purify myself?

Under the pressure of the mountain of Ma Liuzhi, I completely gave up my sense of shame, stood on the altar and began to take off my thick cotton clothes.

The old ghost man was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at me. He poked me with trembling fingers: "What a curse! What a curse! I didn't expect you to be such a well-dressed beast. I didn't say anything more when you touched Mother Earth's body. I didn't expect you to be such a well-dressed beast." Now you want to go further..."

Enter peat...

This is a statue of God. Would you like to take one in for me to see?

I rolled my eyes, stripped down to my underwear, and ran outside the Three Temples. Snow was everywhere in the mountains in winter. I plunged into the snowdrift, using my body temperature to break up the snow and cleanse my body.

This kind of behavior really looked like a lunatic. Even Xiaomi didn't care about being angry anymore. She leaned close to me with a curious look on her face and watched me perform alone.

At first, I was really chilled by the biting cold, but as time went by, it became freezing. Instead, I felt an indescribable sense of refreshing. After all, I had been nestled in this deep mountain and forest for too long. It is inevitable that there will be some strange smell on the body, and the skin is sticky with a layer of oil secreted by the body. After washing with snow water, I feel refreshed and my whole person feels much cleaner.

When I returned to the Three Temples again, my skin was red, like a monkey that had its hair plucked.

Then, I sat down cross-legged, held the Taoist sword formula in my hands, and muttered something.

"Lingbao Tianzun comforts the body. Disciples' souls, five internal organs Xuanming. Blue dragons and white tigers, various teams. Suzaku Xuanwu, the true self of the bodyguard. Urgent like a law!"

"The Taishang Star Platform is constantly adapting to changes. It drives away evil spirits and traps evil spirits, protects life and body. Wisdom is clear, and the mind is peaceful. The three souls are eternal, and the soul is not lost. Urgency is like a law!"

"..."

That's right, I used the two divine mantras of the Eight Great Taoist Mantras - Body Purification and Heart Purification - all at once. Fortunately, I am already quite familiar with these two mantras, so I can tolerate them.

I don’t know what the secret is in the mechanism on the Dizhi statue. It involves the mysterious mechanism of Yanshi. Probably no one in the world dares to pat their chests and say that they will understand it. But since Dizhi is given to the villagers, it must be, It must be felt by the most devout among them.

The two divine mantras of purifying the heart and purifying the body are used at this time and complement each other.

The body-purifying mantra itself is used by Taoists to invoke the gods, while the heart-purifying mantra can be used to calm the mind and return the ordinary mind to silence.

Isn't this the state that a devout person should have when facing the gods he believes in?

Buzz!

The Earth Spirit Pearl is trembling...

Using two divine curses at the same time, the influence of the surrounding evil spirits on me was almost weakened to the point where it can be ignored. Unfortunately, using two divine curses at the same time has reached the limit of my current Taoism and cannot last long.

I felt like I was immersed in the ethereal space and found an eternal tranquility.

It even made me think that I was transformed into a rock, standing between heaven and earth, but I was outside the world of mortals, without any emotional fluctuations, and everything in the mortal world was disappearing with me.

Master, parents...

These people I have always cared about are being peeled away from my heart bit by bit.

That feeling has a strange beauty...

I think probably everyone who is tortured by worldly things will like this kind of ethereal peace.

But I am also a little afraid, feeling that I am moving away from the category of human beings.

"Is this what Taoists call detachment?"

Such a thought came into my mind, but I quickly put it out: "No, this is not true detachment. My master said that waking up in a dream is cultivation. You have to wake up in a dream, but now you have to dream in reality. , which is the state of mind that Taoists pursue? Look away, let go, and then there is detachment, true detachment!"

Gradually, I guarded my inner world and gradually adapted to this emptiness. Only then did I finally understand the dangers of the Eight Great Divine Curses, which would make me feel illusory and tranquil, unable to extricate myself, and become a useless person from then on.

It's like... being close to power, as if you have power.

If your heart is too bitter, you may never wake up from a long sleep.

I suddenly opened my eyes, maintaining this ethereal state, looking up at the ground, walking towards it step by step, like a pilgrim saint.

Then, I hugged it gently and pressed myself wholeheartedly against the statue.

What institution, what inheritance...

At this moment, everything was forgotten by me. I was just holding a dumb stone sculpture and enjoying a moment of peace.

Suddenly, a faint fragrance floated into my nose.

It's hard to describe what kind of aroma this is. It makes people feel warm and at ease. It's probably the best smell I've ever smelled in my life. It's just like... the kind of aroma I felt when I threw myself into my mother's arms when I was a child. Same, although I don’t know...if there will be a chance to smell it again in the future.

Even, I wanted to sink in like this, and the hand on the back of the ground moved involuntarily.

Then...I discovered that there was a place that was a little hot!!

I woke up suddenly, and the aroma in my nose disappeared without a trace in an instant.

But the place where the palm is pressed is still slightly warm...

I immediately walked around behind the ground creature and looked at the place where my palm pressed. There... it didn't look any different!

I tapped that spot with my finger, looked around again, and finally found the difference - the hardness!!

The hardness of the place that generates heat is much higher than that of the surrounding area. In other words... there is an absolute difference in the materials of the two!!

I rubbed my hands and found that they were greasy. The palms of my hands that had just been washed with snow water seemed to be secreting oil again...

There is also that seemingly comforting fragrance, but I can no longer smell it after I wake up!

I subconsciously looked up at the person on the ground, who was still smiling gently, just like when my mother looked at me. Of course, I would not think that there are any gods in this world. All of this must be the means of the descendant of Yanshi. .

I hugged the ground bird again, closed my eyes and felt ethereal. Soon, I smelled the fragrance again...

You can smell it when you are quiet, but you can't smell it when you have distracting thoughts...

My mind moved: "This seems like...the fragrance in my dream!!"

The so-called dream fragrance is actually a kind of oil wax!

This is an animal fat that has been recorded in many ancient books.

This animal is called Sheep.

This is what ancient books say about it - Qianlai Mountain has many pines on it and many washed stones below. There is a beast, which looks like a sheep with a horse tail. It is called Sheep, and its fat can be waxed!

The location of Qianlaizhi Mountain should be near the current Yawu Mountain National Forest Park.

This kind of sheep lives here. It looks very strange, almost like a sheep. It is six feet long, but its tail is like a horse. The fat on its body can be made into wax.

Of course, probably no one has seen this kind of sheep now, but it has been mentioned in many ancient books, just like the bird that people often call it. In my opinion, it may have been extinct in ancient times. animal.

The wax made from Sheep fat is also very strange. When it is in a solidified state, it looks very similar to a stone, but it is not a stone. Human body temperature can make it melt slightly, and this wax exudes a It is a kind of delicate fragrance. The ancients said that this kind of fragrance can help people fall asleep. You can't smell it on ordinary days. When you are lying on the bed and about to fall asleep, you can smell it. And falling asleep smelling this fragrance is like being a child in the arms of your mother. It's like sleeping in the middle of the night, very peaceful.

Therefore, the wax made from goat fat is also called dream incense. It is an extremely precious spice. Maybe the demise of this animal is related to its fat.

After thinking about this, I couldn't help but slap my forehead and sighed sadly: "It's too cloudy!"

If I guessed correctly, this statue of the earth god is made of the incense of dreams. When the villagers hug it after bathing, their hands will be stained with this goat fat. When they touch the stone mechanism hidden on the statue When the time comes, the stone mechanism will absorb the body temperature of the person and start to generate heat, which can be felt by the person.

Because if Sheep fat is applied to a stone, the stone will become extremely heat-absorbing. If exposed to the sun for a while, it will be too hot to handle. There is absolutely no problem in frying eggs, but the premise is that it must be pure Sheep. Grease, if mixed with other impurities, will not have this effect.

The purpose of asking villagers to bathe and cleanse themselves is to prevent the human body fat from mixing with Sheep fat, causing the organs to be unable to absorb heat!!

As for the devout people who have a greater probability of finding the mechanism, this reason is even simpler.

People can smell the aroma of the incense in their dreams before falling asleep because their minds are completely empty at that time.

When a devout person embraces the statue of the god he believes in, his heart will naturally be ethereal. At this time, he can smell the aroma of the incense in his dream. This aroma can make people feel warm, as if they have support. Human beings are such creatures. When you fully devote yourself to a hug and receive good feedback, your hands will subconsciously move around the other person's body. Psychologically speaking, this behavior is to feel the other person's presence and make you more at ease. In this way, the probability of finding the mechanism is certain. It's much bigger than if you don't move your hands.

After all, if a normal person is holding a stone statue, who would touch it? I'm afraid he's not a pervert!

I became very interested in the Yanshi Machinery Technique, because this kind of thing frightened me, so I almost used everything I could use.

The mechanism arts of other masters all fully demonstrate the craftsmanship of the craftsmen, but Yanshi's mechanism technique is even more weird compared to it. I think... this mechanism technique is more of a mental technique!

Now that I had found the specific location of this mechanism, I no longer hesitated. I pressed my fingers on the hot spot and pressed down gently. Sure enough, the spot suddenly sunk in...

"sharp!"

I opened my mouth and couldn't figure out how they did it, so that no gaps could be seen from the outside, and even the etiquette officials couldn't tell the difference from the surroundings.

Boom!

Under the statue, there was a huge roar.
