Chapter 8, the Crimson Edict
As Yang Chenyu swam in the river, the Xiangshui River suddenly became boiling, as if there was a giant beast traveling in the water.
Fortunately, it was past dusk at this time, and there were not many people staying on the banks of the Xiangshui River, even if one or two passers-by saw it, they were shocked and did not dare to approach, which made Yang Chenyu avoid the possibility of exposure.
When playing in this Xiangshui River, Yang Chenyu could even see countless points of light emerge from the river and be absorbed into his body, and in a moment of effort, the mana around his body was not only recovered, but its upper limit was increased by a large margin.
Yang Chenyu suddenly realized that this was the aura bred in the Xiangshui River, and as he became familiar with the Xiangshui River, the crimson talisman in his mind began to continuously absorb these aura to improve his mana.
This is an inevitable result, as a river god, he has the power to extract the aura contained in the river water under his control, which is why all the river gods will always show more power in their own territory.
From now on, Yang Chenyu knows that as long as he is willing, he can even let this Xiangshui River flood, of course, because the Xiangshui River is only more than ten meters wide, and the deepest is more than a person's head, plus the first palm of the god, the mana is not abundant, even if it is flooded, the damage caused is very limited.
For now, even if the Xiangshui River runoff rises sharply due to heavy rainfall, the most that can be set off by the flood will destroy some illegal buildings on both sides of the river.
Of course, the most important thing is that if there is a flood for no reason and causes losses, it will lose the merit of the incense and trigger the punishment of the residual heavenly dao, considering this consequence, Yang Chenyu forcibly suppressed the urge to roll up the flood to test the power of the river god.
After swimming for a long time, Yang Chenyu was reluctant to go ashore and ran towards the Qinglong Temple with the stars in the sky.
Speaking of which, it looks quite funny, a dignified river god wants to return to his dojo and actually has to walk with his feet, which can be regarded as a kind of helplessness, the current Yang Chenyu is fundamentally just a hairy little god, the incense is not abundant, the magic power is not obvious, and even a land with abundant incense is not compared, where can those flying supernatural powers start.
But fortunately, with the support of mana, Yang Chenyu's speed back to the Qinglong Temple of Fengming Mountain was much faster, under the cover of night, a figure flew through the grass, running straight to the top of Fengming Mountain, if someone saw it, I am afraid that they would think that they had hit a ghost.
Returning to the Taoist temple and having dinner, Yang Chenyu used his abundant mana to draw a few talismans again in case of emergency, and collected the 10,000 yuan of hard-earned income, and then thought about the problems that arose after he swam in the river.
After a swim in the river, the situation in Yang Chenyu's body was different from usual, the pen of Fu Zhao opened up a space in his mind, the pen of Fu Zhao hung high above it, the red Fu Zhao settled under it, and then there was a clear small pool, the size of a palm, and a stream of spring water like a needle came from an inexplicable place and poured into the small pool.
For this space that suddenly appeared, Xiao Chi, Yang Chenyu was puzzled, and only after reading many Taoist collections did he come to a plausible conclusion, this may be the so-called Spirit Pool.
The Taoist classic "Seven Signatures of the Cloud Pipe" volume says: "However, the filthy thinking is not open-minded, the contempt is solid, the silver thought is not cut, the spiritual pool is not clear, and the period of the internal and external aspects will not be obtained, and the two scenes will be crossed!"
For this reason, the spiritual pool is the soul specifically referred to by Taoism, and only when the soul is clear can such a spiritual pool be formed.
The moon is bright, the stars are shining, and there is no sleep all night.
The next morning, Yang Chenyu was disturbed by the sound of slamming the door, rubbed his confused eyes, opened the door, and found that it was Wang Deli who smashed the door, behind Wang Xiangdong and three strong men carrying a stretcher, the old man of the Wang family was lying on it, it seemed that the dead air had dissipated partially, and his face had become much better, and behind the stretcher stood Wang Xiangdong's daughter-in-law and several cousins of Wang Deli.
"Hehe, Dao Chief, I'm sorry, my father forced me to come and incense the river god, and I disturbed it early in the morning. ”
Seeing Yang Chenyu's slightly unhappy and sleepy face, Wang Deli, who was almost in his sixties, couldn't help but get nervous, and couldn't help but grab his head and laugh.
Yang Chenyu smiled in his heart, he originally thought it was a boring person to disturb, but he didn't expect it to be the owner of the gold who came to the door, Yang Chenyu's anger when he got up suddenly dissipated, and he made a joke: "Fusheng Immeasurable Tianzun, the old benefactor is kind to incense, how can the poor Dao be blamed, come in." ”
Yang Chenyu let go of the gate, and the group carried the old man Wang into the Qinglong Temple.
However, after entering the gate, Yang Chenyu noticed that Wang Xiangdong's daughter-in-law and several cousins were carrying pig-headed incense candles used to worship the river god, and after they were put down in front of the main hall, they were almost piled up into a hill.
This time, the old man Wang brought his son and a group of people to come up, just to offer incense and pray for the river god, and casually hoped to invite a few more talismans to completely cure his illness.
To be honest, in the past, if anyone said that their stomach cancer could be cured, I am afraid that Old Man Wang would be able to spray a mouthful of saliva on his face in front of him, but after Yang Chenyu made his appetite grow and his dying body improved instantly, Old Man Wang's family was completely convinced.
No, I worked hard to go to Fengming Mountain early in the morning.
Under the auspices of Yang Chenyu, the Wang family placed the pig's head in front of the statue of the river god, inserted nine incense candles with thick arms, and lit a handful of fine sandalwood.
Yang Chenyu looked at all this, with a smile on his face, not to mention how comfortable he was. At the moment when the sandalwood was ignited, Yang Chenyu saw a wisp of cyan aura rising from the top of the heads of the kneeling Wang family, and then flew into his head, making himself feel refreshed all over his body, as if he had eaten ginseng fruit, and there was no discomfort in his body, and the crimson talisman in his mind became more red than before, and even the mana running around his body quickly improved a lot with the addition of this cyan aura.
This is not the end, just when everyone in the Wang family was praying, a slight prayer suddenly sounded in Yang Chenyu's mind, and there was no lack of asking the Xiangshui River God to bless the health of the old man of the Wang family.
Yang Chenyu immediately realized, this is the so-called incense merit, when the gods do good deeds, believers are willing to light incense candles to themselves, incense merit will be produced, and these incense merits gathered by the believers are self-evident benefits to the gods.
