Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Buying and Selling of the Stove God
"Incense is actually a kind of mind, or to be more precise, faith. The god of www.biquge.info the stove put an egg yolk crisp in his mouth, squinted his eyes while chewing, and said, "How did the ghost come about?" The creatures in the world, Shou Yuan has not died unnaturally, and there will inevitably be unwillingness, regret, resentment, and grief in the heart, these emotions are extremely strong, and they turn into obsessions, and obsessions do not disappear into reincarnation, and they become ghosts. ”
"Most ghosts are formed in this way, but there are also evil laws in the world, which can forcibly deprive others of their lives and refine them into ghosts through torture and abuse. Such a ghost is tormented and miserable every day, seeking liberation. At this time, if someone helps them to liberate, they will be grateful, and this gratitude will be strong to a certain extent, and it will become the actual mind, that is, the incense. Perhaps this is the case with the ghost you are exceeding...... There are also ghost obsessions that have disappeared, but they don't know how to enter reincarnation, and if you help it, it will naturally thank you, and in this case, there may also be the power of incense. ”
"There are also mortals in the world, there are birth, old age, sickness, death, love and hatred are difficult to solve, so burn incense and worship God for protection, if the mind is sincere enough, it will also become the power of incense. Most people don't have such sincerity, but as long as there is a trace of sincerity, countless people will gather this thread, and it will also manifest into the power of actual incense. So faith and incense are the same thing. It's just that the West likes to call it faith, and when we worship God, we burn incense and light candles, so it's called incense. The form is not important, the mind is the most important. ”
After listening to the explanation of the god of the stove, Shen Lin finally understood: "It turns out that this is the case, that is to say, gratitude and reverence are the source of incense and faith. It's amazing, but it just sounds so ...... So......"
"Ethereal, huh?" The Stove God looked at Shen Lin with an interested expression.
"Yes, it feels very illusory, and such a thing as gratitude, reverence, can be so important."
"I don't understand the Tao here, but sometimes it's interesting to ponder. I became a land 200 years ago, and I have witnessed the changes of the world, and the last few decades have been far beyond my imagination. Science is developing, and people in the world are getting better and better about the world, but I am getting more and more confused. What do you say I am? I died as a ghost, and I was canonized as the god of the land by the Yin Si, and I have survived in the world for more than 200 years, and I have joy and sorrow, and I can taste delicious food and smell the stench like the people of the world...... But science says there are no gods or ghosts, and of course, they don't figure it out. But I was confused, what do you say I am? ”
"Ahem! Senior, you are you, what do you want to do so much. Shen Lin said.
The god of the stove nodded: "That's right, it's useless to think so much...... Let's move on to your business. If you want to get incense, I have a few suggestions. ”
"First, go to the Transcendence Ghost more often, but pay attention to the method. Although it is considered excessive to kill them directly and forcibly send them into samsara, it is difficult for you to get their gratitude, and untying their knots is the most important thing. Since there are attachments that have not been eliminated, help them unravel their attachments, and they can usually get incense. The stronger the ghost, the greater the obsession, and the more incense you get after you unravel it. Ordinary ghosts, if you can get one or two points, it's the limit...... Back then, I helped a ghost king untie his heart, tsk, that's a lot of money......"
The god of the stove took a sip of tea, rinsed his mouth and continued: "Second, do good deeds for the people of the world and solve doubts, and let them build temples for you to worship. As long as you are more effective, the more people you help, and the more people who burn incense, the incense will naturally flourish. ”
Shen Lin was a little worried: "This is not easy to do, how can I let others build a temple for me?" I can't go up to somebody and say, 'What's wrong with you?' I'm the city guard, I'll help you, you build me a temple...... Isn't that a beating? ”
The little eyes of the Stove God shot out: "Of course you can't do this, you can give them dreams and ask them what is on their minds." Then help those who can, and let them build a temple for you after they are done. After the construction is completed, if someone goes to burn incense, you only need to attach the divine thought to the statue, you can hear their inner prayers, and help a few more, and then they will spread the word "Hundred", saying that your temple is ...... When the time comes, there will be an endless stream of people burning incense, won't there be incense? ”
Shen Lin groaned: "What you said is a good way, but I won't dream. ”
The god of the stove said "oh": "I forgot that you are different from us, you are a big living person." ”
He looked Shen Lin up and down: "I see that your spiritual sense has been revealed, your middle qi is sufficient, and there are traces of cultivation, you are a cultivator?" ”
Shen Lin nodded and said, "After becoming a city patrol, I embarked on this road by chance, but I still don't understand anything. ”
"That's easy, just ask your parents for the Yin God Dream Method, it's not a problem."
Yin God? Dream? Shen Lin was confused, so he had the opportunity to ask Brother Tao for advice.
"The third suggestion is to promote your position as soon as possible, recruit more subordinates, what kind of mandrills, water charms, lonely souls and wild ghosts, as long as you can afford to raise them, the more the better, let them help you do good deeds and make good connections. Your incense is naturally prosperous, and you will have a share of the merit and incense they get. ”
"Subordinates? Mandrill water charm? Senior, can you explain? ”
"The land is the righteous god, the priesthood is small but the power is not small, one side of the land, the ghosts and elves under the jurisdiction, it is said that you have the right to govern. Of course, whether they listen to you or not, it's up to you. The city patrol guard can also order ghosts, once recruited, from now on they are no longer lonely ghosts, but servants registered in the heavenly court, they can not enter reincarnation, cultivate according to incense, and achieve positive results. ”
The god of the stove sighed: "At the beginning, I also had dozens of subordinates, from monsters to ghosts, but then I fell down, so I let them go...... I don't know how they're doing now......"
"Senior, then how can I recruit these ghosts as subordinates?" Shen Lin asked.
The little eyes of the Stove God flashed, and he looked at Shen Lin with a smile and said, "Seeing each other today is fate, and I might as well bring my juniors with me." Although I am now the god of the stove, I still hold the position of Anqing land, I can directly canonize you as the city patrol, and you will take over the responsibility of Anqing land. In this way, it will be convenient for you to travel and avoid being constrained. Second, if you can really make a career, I will be so good, what do you think? ”
After speaking, he added: "It is said that after the city patrol guard is appointed, there will be a set of magic weapons for promotion, punishment and suppression of servants. But you don't know what's going on, you have nothing...... In addition to your thing, it is said that the times have changed, and the equipment is also new, tsk, amazing......" The Stove God stared at the Shenxiao that Chen Xiao put on the table, his eyes shining with golden light.
Shen Lin was overjoyed when he heard this, but he also hesitated.
Tonight, the god of the stove has certainly explained a lot of inside information to himself, and he has benefited a lot. But is there no purpose in doing nothing? The merit value and incense required to be promoted to patrol the city guard are not a small number, this one has promoted himself to a level so easily, if you want to say that there is no cat behind this, you don't believe it if you kill him.
Seeing Shen Lin's hesitation, the Stove God seemed to know it, and he said with a smile: "Are you worried that I will earn your benefits?" ”
Shen Lin smiled: "How could it be, the seniors came to help the juniors at night, I am grateful, how could I think so." ”
"You don't have to hide it, I might as well tell you the truth." The god of the stove twisted a pistachio and threw it into his mouth, chewing loudly: "Little gods like us, whether they practice or settle down, rely on merit and incense. The god of the stove is doing well, and my family is very filial to me, but there is nowhere to salvage the incense and merits. If you can reinvigorate the status of the righteous god of Anqing land and build temples, you will naturally be able to keep incense, and I, as the land, will of course be able to gain some benefits...... But you don't have to worry, I can make an agreement with you that once your incense value and merits are complete and you can serve as Anqing Land, I will resign from the position of Land and give up the place to you. If you have a conscience, you can arrange a retreat for me, and it will not be in vain for me to support you. ”
It turned out that this was the case, Shen Lin understood. In front of him, who is still serving as the land lord of Anqing, once he builds the temple, the incense will be strong at that time, even if the world is grateful to him as a city patrol, how can he not give incense to the land lord in the temple? At that time, the god of the stove didn't do anything, so he got the incense for nothing. It is even more likely than you will get...... It's a good deal, it's a good plan!
But then again, is there no such thing as a capital deal? What I lack now is "potential", and I don't have any experience. The experience in front of him must be there, an old monster of more than two hundred years, even if he is a sesame petty official, he has seen the warmth and coldness of people. Not to mention the general trend, the orthodox land of the Heavenly Court can make himself jump one level in one fell swoop......
But Shen Lin's job is a salesman, although he has already planned to resign, it is also an excellent business who plans to resign, how can there be no reason not to bargain?
"Senior, I can promise you something, but I have one condition."
The god of the stove smiled when he heard the first half of the sentence, and when he heard the second half of the sentence, he was stunned for a moment, and the pistachio in his mouth also stopped, and said with a slight smile: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
"One day, if the land temple is really built, you will give me half of the incense you get."
The god of the stove blinked and said, "Young man, don't be too greedy to be a god." ”
Shen Lin said with a smile: "Senior, it's me who does things, but you are doing the dividends." ”
The god of the stove sighed: "Although we don't care about the top, but I directly promote people with no work experience, I have to take risks, once there is anything dissatisfied with the top...... Hey, it's hard! Difficult! ”
Shen Lin didn't speak, just smiled and was silent.
The god of the stove squinted his small eyes and looked at Shen Lin for a long time, and suddenly stomped his feet as if he had made up his mind, and stretched out two fingers: "Twenty percent is for you!" ”
Shen Lin restrained his smile and shook his head slowly.
"Thirty percent? I'm old, so why bother with me? "The god of the stove pretended to be pitiful.
Shen Lin still didn't speak.
"Forty percent! Couldn't have been more! Otherwise, this matter will be broken up! The god of the stove stood up.
"The seniors go slowly, and the juniors don't send it." Shen Lin walked to the table and picked up Shenxiao, connected to the wifi of Dongji and watched the news.
Shenxiao connects to the world wifi, and any password will be automatically eliminated, which is great!
The god of the stove stood a little embarrassed, his face changed and changed, and he smiled and sat down again.
