Chapter 32: Surprise
Abstract: Zhang Yu discovered the true meaning of inviting the god to possess the body, and also discovered something that surprised Zhang Yu.
Although Zhang Yu's spiritual power has been consumed a lot, and her face is not very good, her expression is very excited, originally she was just a little curious, so she thought of coming to the peep ceremony, maybe she didn't expect that she would see such a magical thing.
Seeing Zhang Yu's expression at this time, Zhang Jian guessed that she must have seen something good. Hurriedly asked, "Sister, what have you seen, tell me and listen to it?" ”
Although Long Xiang was also very curious, however, he didn't make a sound, just looked at Zhang Yu with curious eyes.
"It's really not simple, it's completely different from what I thought at the beginning." Looking at the crowd around him, Zhang Yu said again: "This matter, you can't talk about it here, don't worry about it first, when I go back, I will definitely tell you." With that, she turned her head to look at the temple door that had been opened, and her eyes were uncertain.
"Oh, got it." Seeing Zhang Yu's appearance, Zhang Jian knew that he would definitely not be able to ask anything now.
"Let's go, let's go in and worship God." After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Yu decided to go in and feel it himself.
"Go in and worship God, sister, didn't you never believe in these things before?" Hearing Zhang Yu's words, Zhang Jian was puzzled.
"It was before, and now it is now." Zhang Yu replied.
"Isn't it related to what you just saw inside?" Long Xiang guessed.
"It does have something to do with that, these statues have really been opened, and there are already gods coming to stay here." Zhang Yu thought for a while and said.
"Sister, what did you say?" Zhang Jian was shocked.
"Really?" It was Long Xiang, who was also taken aback after hearing Zhang Yu's words.
"Well, truly, and the gods have blessed those within. Even the one surnamed Gong was blessed. Zhang Yu said.
"It turns out that there are really gods in the world, and they will bless people." Zhang Jian felt very incredible.
Long Xiang also felt that this matter was beyond his cognition, but because he didn't know what happened, he was a little skeptical at this time.
"Let's go, let's go in and pray for blessings." After that, Zhang Yu took the lead and walked towards the temple.
Zhang Jian and Long Xiang looked at each other and followed Zhang Yu over.
When the three of them came to the temple gate, it was already full of people, and everyone had been waiting outside, but now after the ceremony, they all rushed over. Zhang Yu and the three looked at the current momentum and knew that it would take some time to get to the three.
Zhang Yu took advantage of this gap to look at the statue in the temple, and she found that after only a while, the statue already had a faint divine light, compared to what she saw, it was no longer the same.
She found that whenever someone prayed sincerely, there would be more light on the idol, and the idol would also give back to the person who prayed, but the less than one tenth of the feedback would be given, so the divine light on the idol was increasing.
The statues are filled with blessings and wishes, and the light on the statues is growing faster than in the past.
Zhang Yu remembered that it was recorded in an ancient book: Whenever the world is in turmoil, it is when ghosts and gods come out to run rampant. The ancients of country Z believed that when the world was peaceful, a country's luck was very stable, and ghosts and gods could not invade, and when the country was unstable, luck would be chaotic, and chaos would be weak.
So, are the ghosts or gods invited from your village now? If they are allowed to slowly absorb the power of the villagers' pious faith and become stronger and stronger, will it be a curse or a blessing for their own small village?
For a while, Zhang Yu's heart was full of thoughts, and at this time, she suddenly remembered what Lotus had said to her before she fell asleep: "If you know that there is nothing in your heart, you will know that there is nothing, and if you know that there is nothing, you will know nothing." Therefore, there is no respect for the extraordinary deeds, and there are no subtle words. She was already familiar with this sentence, but she had never been able to understand the meaning that the lotus flower wanted to convey to her.
At this time, somehow, this sentence suddenly came to her heart. The ancient gods and ghosts make people feel awe-inspiring, so what should be explained at this time when the lotus flower's sentence: disrespectful and outstanding? When he went in to pray for a while, did he hold a heart of awe, or a heart of "disrespectful trip", at this time, Zhang Yu was a little undecided.
In order to achieve the "disrespectful and extraordinary trip", it is necessary to complete the previous requirements: "If you know that there is nothing in your heart, you will know that there is nothing, and if you know that there is nothing, you will know nothing." Zhang Yu thinks that he can't do this yet, but Zhang Yu doesn't want to blindly worship God.
Time, in Zhang Yu's thinking, passed unconsciously, and finally it was the turn of the three of them to go in. Zhang Yu thought about it, settled down for a while, and in the end, decided to follow Lotus's words. Zhang Yu thought that Lotus would not tell herself this sentence for no reason, since she said it, there must be a deep meaning in it.
When he entered, Zhang Yu did not pray to the idol or anything, but sent a friendly greeting to the idol with an equal status, hoping to communicate with the gods.
The results were unexpected. She found that this statue was empty, there was no specific thought in it, there was just a simple instinct, this instinct was to absorb the pious belief of the person who prayed to her, and then, in response to this belief, this kind of god was not what Zhang Yu thought in his heart.
This kind of god is not like the god that the village advertises is an invited god, looking at the current appearance, it is not the same as Zhang Yu began to think in his heart, there is really a god coming, but more like people have created a god out of thin air, this feeling is very subtle.
When Zhang Yu scanned all the statues with her spiritual power, suddenly, a sentence came to her heart: "Nothing is not heaven, nothing is not life." There is nothing that is not God, and nothing that is not mysterious. If this is the case with things, it is not with man. Everyone can say heaven, everyone can say God, and everyone can be fatal. ”
Zhang Yu suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, it turns out that people can be so great, everyone can be a god, and everyone can incarnate the god in their hearts through prayer. By this time, she had some understanding of the meaning of the steps in the ritual.
The idol itself is a mortal thing, but the red line represents the red dust, and the purest thoughts of the people in the red dust are input into the idol through some spells, and these ideas are sealed in it with rune paper, and slowly conceived, so that these ideas are combined into one, becoming a whole, with a certain divinity, and later, through continuous worship and prayer, the divinity in these statues is becoming stronger and stronger.
It is more appropriate to say that the whole ceremony is to invite the gods, and it is better to say that human beings are making gods. However, Zhang Yu opened the defects of this ritual at a glance, this method is not very effective in peacetime, because, in peacetime, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and few people come to worship, and even if they come, there are too many utilitarian elements in it, and it is not as pious as in troubled times.
After figuring out the joints, Zhang Yu's whole person relaxed, it turned out that the so-called gods were like this, not the kind of gods who had great magical powers, profound wisdom, and lived for many years as he thought before.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but smile, feeling that he was really deeply influenced by TV and books. I was scared of myself, but when I thought about it, if people still come here to worship in the future, maybe these gods may really evolve to that extent.
However, such a god has a great weakness, that is, he is very limited by people's thoughts, the more people believe in his existence, the more devout, the stronger his power will be, on the contrary, if people do not believe in his existence, no one comes to worship, then, he will become weaker and weaker, and even, disappear, after all, he is only a product of human thoughts.
Zhang Yu somewhat understands why all kinds of gods appear in troubled times, and now all kinds of gods have disappeared. The more in troubled times, the more the people suffer, the more they need the sustenance of the soul, so they began to ask God to embrace the Buddha, such as the way it is now, and in times of peace, people live well, live and work in peace and contentment, they do not need the blessing of the gods, so all the gods have disappeared.
This is why some temples that were rumored to be very effective in the past are becoming less and less effective now, and that is because the gods inside have disappeared.
The wisdom of human beings is really great, and it is possible to summarize such a set of god-making rituals, Zhang Yu can't help but have a deep admiration for the ancients.
After settling down, Zhang Yu began to study the nature of the divine light on the idol, and at that time, at the end of the ceremony, several people who presided over the ceremony were blessed by the divine light. The blessing at that time, and the energy of people's prayer feedback now, are not of the same nature, but unfortunately, at that time, Zhang Yu was bound by his previous experience, and he was very in awe, so he didn't dare to go up to check it, and missed the rare opportunity.
Zhang Yu guessed that the feedback at that time should be a kind of feedback from the gods to thank those who created them, and it was a kind of merit that would make people have merit to protect themselves in the future, and she guessed that the surname Gong might be here for this merit.
Zhang Yu slowly concentrated his spiritual power on the divine light, wanting to analyze the nature of the divine light, what Zhang Yu didn't expect was that when his spiritual power came into contact with this divine light, this divine light was absorbed by his own space at once.
His own space was actually actively absorbing this divine light, which startled Zhang Yu. She hurriedly probed her spiritual power into the space, and this look really surprised her.

Recently, I've read a lot about gods and ghosts, so I've written some of my thoughts into it. I think my guess is quite reasonable. If you think my idea really makes sense, help me collect, red tickets, book reviews, and rewards. ^_^
