Lin Xixue thought that the prison had just mentioned, "If a pilgrim sees a strange fish that doesn't exist, he will still offer incense to the strange fish", and the disciples in the temple needed to stop it.

Why did the prison stop pilgrims from offering incense to strange fish?

The temple dojo incense is offered to pilgrims

The fragmented clues quickly reassembled in her mind, pointing to an obvious answer.

Incense has a specific meaning to them in this world!

As small as Wuzeng Temple, which also enshrines statues, the master and the embroidered lady use the big witch as the medium to solve the problem for the villagers of Linghu Village, and also obtain the villagers' offering incense.

The larger ones like this three-element view actually rely on the surrounding pilgrims to come to the incense spontaneously and obtain a steady stream of incense offerings.

The incense was meaningful to them, although Lin Xixue couldn't say what it meant at the moment—maybe it could increase their strength or something?

If this conjecture is true, then another inference can be drawn.

Since the incense has a specific meaning to them, the prison should prevent the pilgrims from incense on these strange fish, indicating that the strange fish can also be blessed by the incense.

This strange fish that appeared in the pool was actually the same kind of thing as Tianzun, Lei Zu, and Chenghuang!

Thinking of this, we need to answer a more important question, that is, why this strange fish appears in this three-element view.

The prison court said that this strange fish was a hallucination caused by the disciple's unstable state of mind, which was obviously an excuse made up at random, and had no reference value.

The real reason is most likely that this strange fish appeared in the pool to compete for incense.

According to these two conjectures, Lin Xixue tried to restore the whole picture of the entire incident based on the fragmented information obtained before.

In the past month or two, some kind of strange fish has frequently appeared in the pond water of Sanyuanguan, and the meat of this strange fish will appear inexplicably in the room.

Once this strange fish appears, it will attract pilgrims to incense, thus competing for incense with the existence of the real worship of the Sanyuan Temple.

On the one hand, the existence of the Sanyuan Temple requires incense, so the mountain cannot be closed, but the pilgrims must continue to enter the incense. But while entering the incense, you need to guard against this strange fish snatching the incense.

On the other hand, all disciples who have taken refuge in Guannai will be eroded in their minds when they see this strange fish.

Therefore, the prison said that if you see this strange fish, you need to go and get the barrier-breaking pill by yourself, so as to suppress this influence on the mind.

As for eating this fish, maybe the mind will be eroded at a deeper level, after all, it is not difficult to guess from the dialogue in the belly of the back mountain that Hao Zhi went crazy directly after eating this fish.

But this conjecture doesn't make sense, if eating fish and meat really causes heavier erosion, why does the prison just let the disciples get the barrier-breaking pill on their own?

There doesn't seem to be much difference from the treatment plan when you see a strange fish.

After a moment of thought, another event came to her mind—the erasure of the memories of several Dao Tong through the Forgetful Dust Pill.

That day, he and the rest of the Taoist children just heard the sentence "The Lei Zu we worship is fake", so they had to deceive Gao Gong into taking the Forgotten Dust Pill and erase their memories.

It can be seen that the high-ranking people do not want this remark to spread.

Now the prison said that if you feel that you can eat fish and meat, you will eat the barrier pill yourself, and you can't talk about it in the temple and affect others.

Lin Xixue suddenly noticed the commonality between the two incidents - what the prison and Gao Gong didn't want to be spread was actually some kind of "abnormal cognition", not the anomaly itself!

It doesn't matter if there is a strange fish in the pond, but if the strange fish is seen and spread by disciples and pilgrims, problems will occur.

Because seeing a strange fish is itself a kind of cognition of the abnormal. Telling others about the anomaly spreads "awareness of the anomaly."

It doesn't matter if you eat fish, but if this abnormal cognition is spread, problems can occur.

Therefore, it is not only the anomaly that erodes the mind, but perhaps what is even more terrifying is that the spread of "anomalous cognition" after exposure to the anomaly will cause a larger-scale mass erosion.

However, it is reasonable to assume that in order to hinder "the perception of the anomalous", the prison should declare that "the abnormal is normal".

For example, instead of claiming that there are no spirit fish in the pond, it is better to directly claim that there are spirit fish in the pond water, so that everyone naturally avoids "cognitive abnormality"?

It's not so much that it's not normal to have fish in the room, why not just say that fish is bought regularly, so that everyone won't feel any problems eating fish.

It was because the prison was not intelligent enough that it did not think of this method; Or is there any information that I don't have that that makes the prison unable to make such a claim?

She can't explain the problem now.

However, in any case, judging from the example of Hao Zhi, once the anomaly itself is recognized, it will cause a certain degree of erosion to the mind.

Before the erosion is completely completed, it may be possible to slow down the erosion process through the Forgetting Dust Pill or the Barrier Breaking Pill in the mouth of the prison.

And after this erosion is completely completed, there is a high probability that it will be irreversible.

Just like that Hao Zhi, he had already converted to the Shenxiao lineage, but after the erosion was completed, he suddenly went berserk, thinking that the Lei Ancestor he worshiped was fake.

In fact, at this time, his mind has been completely eroded by the strange fish, and he continues to spread this "abnormal cognition" in the form of yelling.

Therefore, the prison directly transformed him into a thunderbolt soldier, because from the perspective of the prison yard, Hao Zhi, who was eroded by the strange fish, was already a hostile existence, and he was completely helpless.

That day, I made a mess in Xinliang City, and the Sanyuan Temple almost refined me into a Taoist soldier, I am afraid it was for similar reasons.

After combing it out in this way, it is easy to explain why some pilgrims release strange fish in the lotus pond.

She had already known that these strange beings had territories with each other, and that they could not easily enter each other's realms unless an agent of his choice entered first.

These pilgrims who release the strange fish are obviously the chosen agents of the existence that the strange fish represents.

The reason why the disciples were asked to pay attention to the pilgrims who released the strange fish was obviously to catch this agent and eliminate the trouble!

As a result, the situation facing the three-element view is about to emerge.

While the "Confucian disguised Lei Zu" was plundered by this strange fish, the strange fish also spread the cognition of the anomaly in various ways, eroding the minds of the disciples in the view, resulting in the reduction of disciples.

In the end, I am afraid that this three-element view will have to change its course in a short time, and the incense will be completely stolen by this strange fish.

The Sanyuanguan Prison was aware of this potential crisis, so while refusing to close the mountain, it also temporarily passed on the degree to more Dao children, so as to offset the impact of the reduction of disciples.

Lin Xixue gradually understood everything, and experienced the pleasure of solving the puzzle for the first time in her heart.

So she turned around and saw a strange fish hiding in the depths of the lotus flower in the lotus pond.

A strange fish that felt very familiar to her
