Chapter 306: Thousands of Incense
"What kind of rejoicing God is this, and there are many people who worship it?" Ma Boss asked.
Xu said yes, the three of them turned around several famous avenue temples in Tancheng after a day, and found that all of these Taoist temples were providing this kind of god statue to those good men and women.
Ma Boss frowned and was silent, and the rest of the people were also full of doubts.
This joy god came really strangely, and it quietly became popular in Tancheng almost overnight. This is certainly not an accidental event, and it is absolutely impossible to have this effect if no one is behind it.
"I just inquired with a friend, and now there are indeed quite a lot of people who are fascinated by this god, and it is said that it is very effective, and they have specially invited one back to be offered at home." Lionhead made a few phone calls back and said.
"What's the offering?" Xu Lai asked.
"It's similar to ordinary gods and Buddhas, every morning, noon and evening, three times to burn incense and worship, and to worship fruit incense and candles." The lion's head inquired quite carefully.
Xu went back and forth, crouching next to a statue of a god and staring.
"Could it be a séance?" Tang Tang asked.
"It's hard to say." Xu Lai pondered for a while and said.
The lion's head was a little puzzled: "What séance?" ”
"Uncle Lionhead, you just went to Luoyang not long ago, right?" Tang Tang asked.
"You know this, little ghost, secretly pay attention to your uncle's circle of friends, right?" The lion's head smirked.
"No, fair attention." Tang Tang smiled, "That Qianren Guanyin, uncle should know, right?" ”
The lion's head thought for a while, clapped his hands and said, "Qianren Guanyin, I know, Wu Meizi made it." ”
The Wu Meizi he said was the only female emperor in history, Wu Zetian, when the empress was in the dynasty, she erected a thousand Guanyin in Luoyang City. At that time, there was a legend that the appearance of this Guanyin statue was carved in the shape of the empress.
But these are just legends, the thousand Guanyin has long ceased to exist, no one knows whether this is true or false, today's Luoyang, only Lingshan Temple still has a big Guanyin, but it has nothing to do with the empress's thousand Guanyin.
"Uncle's knowledge is broad." Tang Tang liked.
"Of course!" The lion's head was triumphant, and he shook his head again and said, "This martial girl is very powerful, but she is also too arrogant, and she actually compares herself to Guanyin Bodhisattva, a little do, a little do." ”
"Actually, there's a rumor in this." Tang Tang said with a smile.
Tang Tang is with her mother's temperament, loves to read, and is well-read and memorized, in addition to spells, he is also very good at studying various ancient books and wild histories.
In this aspect alone, Xu Lai is not her opponent at all.
Hearing Tang Tang finish talking about the rumor, everyone couldn't help but let out an "oh".
According to some ancient records, the reason why the empress wanted to build a large number of buildings in Luoyang, build a thousand Guanyin, and also mold her face with her own appearance, was actually from the advice of a warlock.
Its purpose is only one, that is, to accept the worship of thousands of subjects with this thousand Guanyin, and to collect thousands of incense wishes.
For thousands of years, all dynasties, whether official or civil, would worship gods and Buddhas, or build temples and statues, or worship incense, candles and fruits.
The empress's move is to learn from the gods and Buddhas in the sky, and through the statue of Guanyin, she will collect the incense and pious wishes of thousands of subjects for herself, so as to become a god and a Buddha.
Similar to Qin Shi Huang's quest for the elixir of life, the empress's actions were also to seek immortality, but unfortunately the result was similar to Qin Shi Huang.
"Then I'll know!" When the lion head heard this, he immediately slapped his thigh, "Someone wants to learn from a martial arts girl and become a god and a Buddha!" ”
These statues depict the face of the same person, and now many people in Tancheng are invited to go home, burning incense and worshiping every day, this effect is actually the same as the Qianren Guanyin of the year, but the latter is reduced to zero.
"This bastard, still dreaming of becoming a god? It's a wasted effort! The lion's head laughed happily, it was useless to even raise the power of a country to build a thousand Guanyin, what role can these small statues play.
But the rest of the room didn't laugh.
"What are you doing?" The lion felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
I only heard Tang Tang say: "In terms of the principle of magic, this practice actually makes sense, and it belongs to a kind of séance." ”
"Is this a spell?" The lion's head was taken aback. Although he doesn't know spells, he has been in contact with people in this industry for a long time, and his knowledge is still quite high.
Since this method can be called a spell, it is not a fool, but supported by serious spell theory.
"It's a spell indeed." Boss Ma took the words, "But as far as I know, it seems that no one has ever succeeded." ”
Ma Boss's group of people were born in tomb robbing. Statues of gods are often found in tombs, so he knows more about this than a lion's head.
For thousands of years, there has been a tradition of building temples and worshipping idols of the gods, and the mages have been inspired by this.
For the mages of all dynasties, immortality and immortalization have always been their ultimate goal.
With this as the core, it evolved into the Magic School, the Dan Dao School, the Lingbao School, and the Ascetic School...... and so on, there are all kinds of systems, but they are all for the purpose of being able to feather and ascend to immortals and obtain immortality.
It's just that over the years, although there are many sects of various sects, none of them can succeed.
So a group of people got inspiration from the temple, that is, to learn from those legendary gods and Buddhas, and use the gods to collect incense wishes.
It's just that this method has been passed down for thousands of years, and no one seems to have achieved anything, even the most massive Qianren Guanyin, which has been in vain.
However, although the results are quite dismal, it is still accepted by people in the sect that this method is feasible from the point of view of magic, but no one knows why it does not work.
"So is it possible for this method to succeed?" The lion's head finally figured out the joints.
Ma Boss nodded yes.
"Damn, does this mean that someone uses our Tancheng as a pig farm?" The lion's head shouted angrily.
"Maybe it's not just a pig farm." Xu Lai got up and said.
"What's the matter, is it still a slaughterhouse?" The lion's head shouted.
Xu Lai smiled: "Almost." ”
"What do you mean?" The lion's head has wide eyes.
Ma Boss took the words: "Recently, there have been frequent ghost cases, let's be careful." ”
The lion's head thought about it, it was really, leaned in, and didn't know what to mutter.
The people deliberated for a while, and just as the swallow came to call for dinner, he put the idol into the storeroom first, and then went over to eat.
Xu Lai and the three of them walked around for a day, but their spirits were quite strong, and after eating, they read books in the living room, watched TV, and played games.
It's just that when it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, he actually brought someone to the door again, and he took Xu Lai and left.
It turned out that there was another accident, and there were two murders in one case, a family of four died, and a nurse from a hospital.
The death of these five people was extremely strange, and after Xu came to investigate, he really died of the surrender technique.
"Fuck!" He slapped the table hard in the afterglow, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and it was obvious that he hadn't slept well for a few days.
Lian Qiu and the others also rotated continuously, and the girl's lips were blistered.
This series of ghost cases, so many lives, this can be said to have not happened in Tancheng for many years.
As a department specializing in dealing with mysteries, the pressure on the ninth department can be imagined.
At this time, the section chief Fei Zhong was reporting the progress of the case to the top, but he didn't expect that the report over there was not finished, and the matter came out again.
The ninth department was anxious, and Yu Guangzhong had already lost his temper several times, and even a girl like Lian Qiu was scolded several times.
Like the previous ones, no more clues could be found in these two murders, and after the initial inquest of the bodies, they were brought back by the people of the Ninth Division.
As for the rest, there hasn't been much progress.
When Xu Lai returned to Shufangzhai, it was almost one o'clock.
Everyone else went to sleep, only Tang Tang was still sitting alone on the sofa in the living room reading a book.
"You're not going to sleep yet?" Xu said, and sat down next to her.
Mage is unmatched
