This door couplet was so charming that Chen Shi couldn't help but look at it twice.
"The sky and the earth are all my image. It is better to pray for gods and ghosts than to pray for yourself. People are struggling in the world. When can we reach this point? If we reach this point, we are detached, right?"
He climbed up the stairs and walked into this strange ancient temple.
This ancient temple actually has a sandy texture, which makes it seem unreal, as if it will break if touched even slightly.
There was a faint smell of incense in the temple. He looked around and saw that there were two pillars supporting the beams in the temple. There were no patterns on the pillars. The ground was also ordinary blue bricks, and the walls on both sides were made of bricks.
The walls are white and gray, with no murals.
He stretched out his hand and touched the wall, and his palm could pass through the wall.
The same goes for pillars and the ground.
"This temple is not a real temple, but an illusion. Strange, how did I enter the illusion?"
He wondered in his heart, could it really be evil?
Directly in front of him is an incense burner, two feet high and four feet wide. There is no incense, only full of ashes.
In front of the incense burner is a vermilion gatehouse built against the wall, six feet high and about five feet wide.
The gatehouse is hollow and houses a shrine.
The shrine was empty, with no statues of gods.
"This shrine is the same as mine. I don't have a divine fetus, and it doesn't have a statue of the god."
Chen Shi looked around and found nothing more.
"How do I get out of this strange place?"
Just when he thought of this, he suddenly felt a trance in front of his eyes, and unknowingly left the mysterious temple and returned to his own body.
Chen Shi opened his eyes and saw that he was still standing under the tree and had not moved.
He was surprised and looked around. The temple he just saw did not exist, it seemed like a dream.
"Xiao Shi, are you distracted?"
Zhu Xiucai asked doubtfully, "You were standing here motionless just now. If you put incense again...wait a minute, why is there a temple behind your head?"
Chen Shi was shocked: "Is there a temple behind my head?"
"There really is a temple! A lonely temple with only the main hall and two pillars in front of the temple!"
Zhu Xiucai was surprised and said, "It's right where you put the shrine! Wait a minute, where is your shrine? Your shrine is missing!"
Chen Shi was even more shocked. Wasn't the temple Zhu Xiucai described exactly the temple he had just seen in his vision?
Also, the temple takes up the space of the shrine, so where does your own shrine go?
Zhu Xiucai said quickly: "Slowly turn around and let me see!"
Chen Shi turned around and asked him to look at the temple carefully, feeling uneasy in his heart.
He couldn't help but regret. He only went home this time to offer incense to his grandfather, godmother, Zhu Xiucai and others, and then to meet Granny Sha and others. He didn't expect that such a thing would happen!
He originally had one less realm of divine fetus than others. If the shrine disappears again, wouldn't he be missing two realms?
If you lack two realms, how can you compete with your peers?
Zhu Xiucai breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The shrine is still there, in the temple... Wait a minute, why am I in the temple? Why am I sitting on the shrine?"
He exclaimed repeatedly.
Chen Shi's eyes widened even more. Zhu Xiucai, who was hanging on the crooked tree, disappeared, leaving only an empty hanging rope!
And Zhu Xiucai's voice was coming from behind his head!
Zhu Xiucai panicked and shouted: "Xiao Shi, let me out quickly! This temple is too weird!"
"I don't know how to let you out." Chen Shi was also a little panicked. He had never encountered such a thing.
Suddenly, he had an idea and immediately activated the small temple as if it were a shrine. However, the small temple lit up and the shrine in the temple was filled with divine light. Zhu Xiucai was bathing in the shrine, opening his mouth and spitting out three words:
The length of five feet frightened the black pot that was enjoying the shade under the tree so much that it jumped up and ran away with its tail between its legs.
Chen Shi was also startled by the tongue and quickly stopped urging it.
Only then did Zhu Xiucai feel that his body belonged to him again. He couldn't help but sweat, and said quickly: "Xiao Shi, I'm sitting on the shrine in the temple. How do you feel?"
Chen Shi heard this, sensed it carefully, and said: "I seem to have an extra me, like another me sitting behind my head, helping me regulate my true energy and run my skills!"
He urged Ziwu to kill the evil sword and made the sword formula with his hand. Zhu Xiucai exclaimed and couldn't help but follow the sword formula with his hand.
Chen Shi activated his sword energy, and Zhu Xiucai also activated his sword energy. The power of the sword energy surged, and it shot through the air with a hiss, reaching hundreds of feet away!
Chen Shi was stunned. The distance of this sword energy had increased by 20% compared to his previous one!
The power is also increased by 20%!
With such power, why sacrifice the golden elixir?
Not only that, with Zhu Xiucai in charge of the small temple shrine, he felt that his Qi was running more smoothly and peacefully, and was not as violent as before.
But when Qi and blood explode, the explosive power is even more terrifying!
This situation is like...
He was thinking about an appropriate metaphor when suddenly Zhu Xiucai said: "It's like there is a soul behind your head, helping you regulate your true energy, stimulate your energy and blood, sacrifice alchemy pills, and cast spells, right?"
Chen Shi said: "I haven't cultivated to the realm of Yuanshen yet, so I don't know what the magical uses of Yuanshen are."
Zhu Xiucai sighed and said: "What I just said is the wonderful use of the divine fetus. The true god descends and bestows the divine fetus. The monks receive the blessing of the true god. Having the divine fetus is equivalent to having one more person in the lower realm."
It is easier than before to regulate the soul, regulate qi and blood, refine alchemy, and practice magic. Moreover, both the magic power and the power of moves are more powerful than before."
Chen Shi murmured: "So the divine fetus is so strong..."
"The true God has blessed the monks with the divine fetus, which helps the monks to reach higher realms in a short period of time, making great contributions that are immeasurable."
Zhu Xiucai's voice came from behind his head, saying, "Getting the divine fetus is a crucial step in achieving great achievements in cultivation. It's just..."
His tongue slipped out of his mouth again, and he murmured: "The true god descended, isn't it true that only the true god can give blessings? How come I became a divine fetus?"
He just felt that it was extremely absurd. How could there be any reason to give oneself away and become someone else's divine fetus?
I was hanging on the tree perfectly, so why did I become someone else's divine fetus?
"Xiucai, don't worry, I'll think of a solution!"
Chen Shi's eyes lit up, he took out three sticks of incense, lit them quickly, and said, "I remember there is an incense burner in the temple. Since there is an incense burner, it must be used to burn incense! Put these three sticks of incense in the incense burner, maybe you can
It’s time to come out!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a big hand reached out from the small temple and grabbed three incense sticks. It was Zhu Xiucai's hand.
Heiguo watched this scene from a distance, and suddenly an extra hand appeared on the back of Chen Shi's head. The dog was still frightened, thinking that the little master was going to show his true form, so he didn't dare to come close for a while.
This scene is indeed extremely scary.
In the temple, Zhu Xiucai just wanted to hold the incense, but he saw that his arms were getting longer and longer. From his perspective, his arms were several feet long in an instant.
This change also puzzled him. He could only say that this small temple was a bit strange.
Without thinking deeply, he inserted three sticks of incense into the incense burner, and the aroma wafted towards him.
When Zhu Xiucai smelled the scent of incense, he suddenly felt refreshed and energetic. He felt much more comfortable than hanging on a tree and smelling the incense.
He even noticed that the aura of incense was rapidly transforming into extraordinary power, condensing in his body and shaping its true form!
He was so surprised that this was the rumored god-creator!
The so-called creation of gods is different from the creation of gods through extraordinary power.
Extraordinary power takes shape under the minds of the people, shaping it into different forms.
These appearances are tangible and insubstantial, invisible to the naked eye, intangible, and have magic power but cannot manifest themselves as holy.
But the creation of gods is based on the spirit, deifying the spirit. For example, in the ancient times of the Chinese continent, there was a mortal named Nezha who died tragically for some reason. His mother pitied him for his early death, so she created a statue for him.
He built a golden body and made a statue of the god, allowing his soul to be attached to the statue and receive incense from the people. Over time, Nezha acquired divinity.
This is god-making.
The prerequisite for creating a god is that there must first be an edict.
The so-called imperial edicts include: first, imperial edicts, in which the emperor canonize gods; second, immortals, in which gods can be ennobled by other gods.
Only these two are the true gods.
However, how could a small temple have the means to create gods?
Does this small temple possess imperial power, or does it possess immortality and be able to create gods?
Zhu Xiucai was really puzzled.
Chen Shi asked: "Xiucai, can you come out now?"
Zhu Xiucai tried to get up from the shrine, but he felt that his body was as heavy as a mountain and he could not get up at all. Especially after absorbing the scent of incense, it became even more heavy, as if his buttocks were growing on the shrine.
"Still not working!"
Zhu Xiucai said, "You were stunned earlier. Could it be that you also entered the temple? How did you leave?"
Chen Shi said: "I just had the idea of ​​leaving, so I left. You give it a try."
Zhu Xiucai kept thinking, but still couldn't leave the shrine. Suddenly, an idea flashed and he said: "Is it possible that you are the one who makes me leave?"
Chen Shi tried to think, and suddenly the old tree with its crooked neck shook. Chen Shi looked quickly and saw Zhu Xiucai hanging on the hanging rope, his body swaying back and forth, as if he had just been hanged.
Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Xiucai also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xiao Shi, how did you get this temple?"
Chen Shi said: "I don't know either. I just offered incense to my godmother and was about to ask you for advice, when suddenly..."
Having said this, he couldn't help but froze, and hurriedly turned to look at Shibei Godmother. Shibei Godmother was still half-embedded in the roots of the old willow tree, just like before, without any change.
In front of the stone monument, incense smoke curled up and drifted towards the stone monument.
But in the past, every time Chen Shi burned incense, there would be light flowing along the words "Grandma" and "Zhi" on the stone tablet, but this time there was no cyan light. It was as if the power that the stone tablet had accumulated for a long time was suddenly exhausted.
"Could it be that my godmother gave me a blessing?"
Chen Shi couldn't help but be stunned. He had been worshiping his godmother for more than two years, but there had been no movement on this stone tablet. Now he was suddenly given a small temple. Could it be that his godmother had appeared?
He touched the stone tablet with his palm, trying to connect with his godmother's spirit, but what he sensed was nothing but the vast void.
"Xiucai, do you know the origin of Shibei Godmother?" Chen Shi raised his head and asked.
Zhu Xiucai shook his head: "I don't know. When I came here in despair and hung myself on a tree, this stone tablet was here and has not been moved."
"How long ago did it happen?" Chen Shi asked.
"Probably a thousand years ago." Zhu Xiucai was not sure.
Chen Shi was stunned. He thought that Zhu Xiucai would be hanged for a few decades at most, but he didn't expect that Zhu Xiucai had died a thousand years ago!
In other words, this old willow tree with a crooked neck and the stone tablet under the tree existed thousands of years ago!
So, how long have the crooked neck old willow trees and stone monuments existed?
Chen Shi looked at the loess hills at his feet.
Could it be that this tree and this monument already existed as early as the True King's era?
Huangtugang is kaolin, specially used for firing porcelain. This loess slope can be traced back to the end of the Jinwang era.
If the true king wanted to build a kiln, why did he pile the kaolin here instead of next to the kiln?
It is obviously closer to the kiln factory and more convenient for collecting soil.
"What did the True King hide when he piled the kaolin here? Why did the True King bury it? Why has no one tried to dig this slope in these thousands of years?"
Chen Shi looked at Qianyang Mountain. How many ancient secrets are buried in this extremely ancient mountain range and majestic mountains?
"My godmother gave me this small temple, it will definitely be of great use!"
On his way back to the village, Chen Shi ate the watermelon he stole from the old lady Wuzhu's field and thought, "It's just that my shrine is hidden in the temple. After the ceremony, can the true God still give me a divine fetus?"
...I don’t know much, so I’d better ask Grandma Sha. Maybe she will know.”
He took the wooden cart left by his grandfather, called for the black pot, and rode the cart with one person and one dog to Gangzi Village. But Grandma Sha was not at home, and she didn't know where she was.
Chen Shi went into the mountain and asked Granny Zhuang. Granny Zhuang was not as knowledgeable as Zhu Xiucai and could not explain why. She said, "I only felt a sacred and extraordinary aura, solemn and solemn, but I have never seen such a temple."
Chen Shi came to ask about Orochi Xuanshan, who stared at the small temple behind his head with deep eyes. After a long time, Fang said: "The origins are vast and indescribable."
Chen Shi asked again what Orochi Xuanshan should know, but he didn't say a word.
Along the way, Black Pot remained silent, as if he was a little afraid of the small temple behind his head.
Chen Shi only felt that the black pot was a bit strange, but he didn't think much about it.
This place is not far from the Tiger Temple. The masons have already repaired the Tiger Temple. Chen Shi simply drove to the temple to see if the Tiger deity in the temple had been formed.
The charm he left behind was still hanging outside the main hall of the tiger. Chen Shi took off the charm and walked into the main hall. He saw that the extraordinary power in this temple had become extremely weak, and the gods in the shrine had become weak.
Most of the form has the form of an ox-headed human body, with a yellow tiger underneath, but both the form and the yellow tiger are vague, as if they may collapse at any time!
"The extraordinary power in this temple is not enough to condense the divine form!"
Just when Chen Shi thought of this, suddenly the god and the yellow tiger in the shrine in front of him disappeared!
Chen Shi was stunned, then woke up and hurried to the wooden cart, rummaged through the cabinets and found a mirror.
He looked in the mirror and saw a small temple floating behind his head. Incense was curling up in the small temple. He could vaguely see a weird man with a bull's head and body sitting in the shrine. A tiger jumped suddenly from the shrine at his feet.
Come down and let out a thunderous tiger roar!
Chen Shi calmed down.
"Oops, I'm having a baby!"
Chapter completed!
