Chapter 42: Build a Temple, Accumulate Incense!
In the autumn of the twenty-third year of Daoguang, the Guangfu District of Huaxia County, Taiwan Prefecture.
After the Dragon God Sect led the Heaven and Earth Society to capture the five counties of Chiayi, Yunlin, Tainan, Kaohsiung, and Nantou in a row, it finally slowed down the pace of destruction a little. It's time to stay and straighten out.
After all, the combined area of these five counties already occupies two-fifths of Taiwan! According to the steady and steady style of the Dragon God Sect, it is natural that the internal construction needs to be carried out first......
The most unique thing is that the construction of the temple is in full swing!
It is said that after Zhao Wushuang devoured the mysterious Heaven and Earth Guild Helm Master Token, he finally grew a second dragon scale under the reverse scale. This can be regarded as a major breakthrough in his cultivation path.
And with the appearance of the second dragon scale, his body and soul also underwent some different changes!
The first is that his divine soul has been explosively enhanced. For a long time, the changes in Zhao Wushuang's divine soul power had tended to stagnate, and he could basically only obtain a certain improvement through the conversion process with the "Law Body" puppet body.
As for the body, although the strength of the muscle tissue and scale armor did not become higher, to Zhao Wushuang's surprise, he finally became bigger again! The day after the dragon scales grew, he ushered in a molt, and then his body grew to eighteen meters, and the whole circle was thicker.
The great enhancement of the divine soul gave Zhao Wushuang enough confidence to enter the memory of the snake god Ananta again, to find some secrets of the power of faith (the power of incense......
This time, what he saw was even more shocking!
In the ancient and wild land of India, countries and human beings have already begun to appear. Behind the crowd of countless dense gatherers, stands the giant snake god Ananda, who manipulates them to build Hindu temples rising from the ground......
The main offerings were of course to higher gods such as Vishnu, and the statue of Ananta only appeared in the temple as a foil.
Zao was shocked to find that when the temple was completed and statues belonging to the Hindu gods were erected. Even if they are not within the reach of the believer's faith power, the power of faith can be accumulated - Zao Wushuang had been naïve enough to believe that the pure energy born from the human soul would only be obtained when the "gods" were close to his followers.
And the key to accumulation lies in your own temple!
When he saw the devout Hindu worshippers worship in the temple, the white power of faith would rise up and condense into a large number of statues of the gods, and finally the "gods" would come to their temples every once in a while to absorb the accumulated power of faith (of course, only Ananta's actions could be seen in the memory illusion). Zhao Wushuang almost fainted directly......
He almost looked up to the sky and roared: "My day!! How much incense power was wasted before Lao Tzu!! ”
Indeed, it was in Zhao Wushuang's eyes before. The construction of temples and dojos is nothing more than "feudal superstition", which was built by those ignorant people for the sake of gods that did not exist at all, and in the end, the benefits of gold, silver, and property were taken advantage of by monks and Taoist priests.
As a "true god", Zao Woushuang is actually dismissive.
But now he knew that he wouldn't talk about the guys who didn't know existed. If a real cultivator like himself is a real cultivator, how important it is to build a temple for believers to worship on a daily basis!
The power of incense can be accumulated forever, and you only need to take the time to go around the temples to make a lot of money. Where is the problem of improving strength as hard as it is now?
At the same time, he finally found a relatively basic way to use the power of faith (the power of incense) from the memory of the snake god Ananta - to allow the physical injuries to heal quickly! This made him feel ecstatic as well, so that he didn't have to worry so much if there was a hard confrontation with the gringos' heavy warships......
All in all, the power of incense is very important!
"Repair the temple! This deity is going to build a large number of temples! It is necessary to let everyone who is a believer of the Dragon God Sect visit the temple of this god from time to time and contribute some incense. ”
Zhao Wushuang was shouting in his heart!
As a result, something happened that made the high-level leaders of the Dragon God Sect a little confused.
He never approved of building a temple, and even took the initiative to reject his subordinates' demand for temple construction on several occasions, and began to build a temple vigorously after coming to Taiwan......
It is estimated that everyone's inner thoughts are: This fairy's mind changes when it is said, and it is really more difficult to figure out than a woman!
They didn't know that the "Ryujin-sama" had already regretted it and was about to beat his chest—but it was a pity that he had no hands or feet.
All in all, while recovering economic and agricultural production, the entire five counties of Huaxia Guangfu in Taiwan Province also began to recruit migrant workers to build temples for the "dragon god" -- at least one under the jurisdiction of each county.
More than a month passed quickly......
At the same time, the so-called "rebel army" of the Manchu court was finally assembled in Fujian and was ready to start fighting across the sea!
Due to the change of garrisons in Huguang and Fujian, the number of troops that could be dispatched this time was not large. About 20,000 soldiers and 230 warships, led by the general army of the Fujian Naval Division, took the Penghu Islands as a springboard, crossed the Taiwan Sea with great momentum, and rushed straight to the five counties of China to recover from China.
And Taichung, Pingtung, Taitung and other counties, which were trembling and did not dare to make any moves under the rebel army of the Tiandihui (the external propaganda is the rebellion of the Tiandihui) before, also seemed to have received orders and strengthened their courage. began to separate the eastern, southern, and northern land areas, and began to cooperate with the imperial army coming from the west to flank the heaven and earth and the "anti-thieves".
All of a sudden, the situation was precarious!
But the Heaven and Earth Society and the high-level leaders of the Dragon God Sect did not panic at all, because the Dragon God Lord was in Chiayi City-in their hearts, as long as the Dragon God was there, then any existence that tried to fight against it would be wiped out!
Because of this kind of thinking, even if Zhao Wushuang does not come out in person. The combat effectiveness and morale of the entire army will also be much higher, because the soldiers know that the dragon god is with them.
That's the power of religion and worship!
This thing is actually a double-edged sword. In times of peace and prosperity, such fanatical belief and worship of the individual may do more harm than good; But in a troubled world, power and hope should be concentrated on a single individual! Troubled times are the era of individual heroism. Of course, Zao Woushuang is a higher level of immortal than a hero......
Regarding the matter of the imperial army coming to suppress it, Zhao Wushuang was not worried. Not to mention that he has now grown a second piece of dragon scales, and his strength has been greatly improved, just the power of incense accumulated by several temples in the Guangfu District during this period of time can make him fearless about the big battle!
