Speaking of this, Pei Shilang perked up: "So that the master of the horse knows that the lower official has raised two hundred carts of agarwood." ”

Li Zhen said: "Yes, more than I expected." ”

Pei Shilang said: "How dare the lower officials slack off on the things that the master of the horse has explained? In the past three months, I have collected some from everywhere, and I am waiting to send them to the mansion after they are ready, but at present, it is still a little short of what was originally determined......

Li Zhen said: "You have a heart, but I plan to use them in this festival now, and I don't have to wait until the end of the year." ”

Pei Shilang was slightly stunned, and said cautiously: "This, is it enough?"

Li Zhen laughed and didn't care: "Enough, besides, if the god of the river comes forward this time, the rich merchants and nobles in the city will also join in, and everyone will gather firewood and the flame is high." ”

Pei Shilang said: "That's the same, I don't know if the master has any other instructions." ”

Li Zhen said: "I still need a batch of stick incense urgently, but this matter has the help of the craftsmen in the incense shop, so you don't have to bother." ”

Two days later, on the southern outskirts of the city.

As soon as the sky dawned, a large number of officials and citizens gathered here, and the wide open space was cleared and leveled, and hundreds of firewood piles were erected in advance, like a small hill standing in front of you.

These are not ordinary firewood, after getting closer, you can obviously smell a variety of aromas, most of them are agarwood, but also mixed with the city merchants donated red sandalwood, yellow pear and other fragrant wood, the wood is sprinkled with spices.

The most central, up to more than five zhang, with the tic-tac-toe cross method to build up the big firewood pile towering, just such a pile, there are enough 20 cars, tens of thousands of catties.

Li Zhen took the nine princesses to attend this prayer ceremony held because of the dream of the god of Jiang, and listened to the prayers recited by the ceremonial officials with other dignitaries and burned them in a basin.

As the last flame of the prayer is extinguished, the celebrant announces that the puja begins.

The lord of Xuanxin was unable to move and did not appear in person, but the prime minister of Xuanxin State, who represented the official, came, and he will join forces with Li Zhen, who is the representative of the nobles, and a wealthy businessman who represents the people.

"Incense!"

Under the chanting of the master of ceremonies, two strong men carried an object and slowly entered the venue, but they were covered by a red cloth, and they couldn't see the real appearance clearly.

After the strong man put it down on the sacrificial table and uncovered the red cloth, his true face appeared in front of everyone.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, there was a gasp from the crowd, and it was even difficult to suppress the shock.

"It's so big, so thick!"

"What is this, is it really incense?"

"I thought it was a sacrifice of three animals. ”

It turned out to be a stick of incense that was the thickness of a sea bowl and more than nine feet long, and the whole was like a low pillar, or a truncated beam, which was placed horizontally on the wooden table, which was quite weighty.

The stick incense is made of fine bamboo wood as the core of the incense, and the incense stick, the incense stick, the tower incense, the incense powder, the incense pills, the biggest difference between the strips, is that the original intention of its design is probably to facilitate the worship of heaven and earth ghosts and gods in the hand, after worshipping, can be inserted in the incense burner or soil to continue to burn.

This is a sacrificial incense with a special purpose, not an ordinary funny and elegant thing, so it is not often innovated in the shape or material, but it is just ground by the devil with spiritual incense, re-bonded, and changed to worship the heavens to worship ghosts.

Ordinary stick incense is made of elm bark powder, cypress powder, pigment, essence, etc., and the good stick incense is the core, powder and binder should be selected.

The crowd was unaware of what was going on, and they were all shocked by its size.

Is this really awesome?

You can't lift it, can you?

The prime minister of Xuanxin Kingdom is over fifty years old, although he is well maintained, but he has also begun to decline, and when he saw this huge stick incense, he trembled on the spot, and was stunned: "Why, how can it be so big?"

Li Zhen said: "This is a new type of stick incense produced by my Li Xiangfang, called giant incense, what I want is huge, huge can be noble, and noble can represent sincerity." ”

The prime minister said: "There are still such sayings?"

Li Zhen said: "Otherwise, I will hold a few chopsticks and fine incense, what is the difference between Te's small family spirit and ordinary people?"

The prime minister said: "Master Ma is a master of incense, so it must be reasonable." ”

Li Zhen said: "The Prime Minister doesn't feel that this thing is simple, too big and too heavy, which is not conducive to combustion, and the ratio of incense powder and adhesive must be exquisite, and it is also time-consuming and laborious to make."

This time, I recruited a number of masters in the workshop to work together to catch up with the system, and I was lucky to succeed, which does have a lot of sincerity in it. ”

As the representatives of the people, the wealthy businessmen were shocked when they listened to their discussions, and immediately thought: "I see, why did I never respond to worship God and ancestors in the past, it turned out that the sincerity was not enough!"

After I go back this time, if I sacrifice again, I need to change to something bigger!"

But soon, he became distressed again: "But listening to what the master said, I and the Yin Shi family are not worthy of burning such a huge thing, and we need a powerful person like the master of the horse to be able to afford to burn."

It seems that we have to settle for the next best thing, and use the smaller ones. ”

Li Zhen said to the prime minister and Hao Shang: "Two, let's order incense." ”

The servant handed over three torches, and each of them took one and lit it at the end of the giant incense.

"Incense!" the master of ceremonies chanted again.

"How can this be?" the Prime Minister had just suppressed his shock, and then his sorrow had risen.

"It looks like it's heavy. The wealthy merchant also frowned secretly.

Li Zhen smiled and said: "Come on, come on, let's all take a hand, work together to make it right, and it's over after a few worships." ”

After a while, I saw Li Zhen standing in the middle, and the prime minister and the wealthy businessman on the left and right were respectively, each holding back their strength, cheering up, and barely bowed three times.

"Respect the heavens!"

"Respectfully!"

"God!"

"Rite over!"

"Ouch, my old waist. The prime minister had an ominous premonition before, and after three bows, he suddenly felt like an electric shock, and his body froze there.

He accidentally flashed to his waist.

Wealthy merchants are not much better.

The people who cheered the giant incense with him were all dignitaries and nobles, but he had no power and no power, and to put it bluntly, he was still a commoner, so he consciously made a few more efforts.

As a result, after this courtesy, I almost twisted my feet.

Li Zhen was calm and relaxed.

He eats incense and refines his soul, and he can be regarded as embarking on the path of cultivation, although it is not good to show it too obviously, but it is still easy and simple to carry it and make his own efforts.

He casually helped the last handful, and only slowly let go of it until two strong men came to take over the giant incense.

They lifted the giant incense to the dirt ground in front of them and planted it steadily, and they saw it standing there like a pillar, and the smoke was rising, emitting a large amount of fragrant hairsprings.

The servants began to distribute incense, and the sticks of incense sticks with arms thick, thumbs thick, and chopsticks were distributed to different groups of people, and each lit it separately.

After a while, smoke filled the entire venue like a cloud.

Everyone worships the river god together and prays for blessings and disasters.

Some of the devout even fell to their knees and muttered to themselves.

Li Zhen used his talent for smelling incense to sense it, but when he saw the smoke floating, there seemed to be hundreds of millions of silk fluttering in the sky.

Countless incense gossamers were like steaming, rising from the heads of all people to the void.

It was as if they had gone up to nine heavens and entered the realm of God.

Ding Wei "Tianxiang Biography" said: Incense is used from ancient times, so it can be cleaned by the gods.

Here is the embodiment of the incense smoke up to the gods, the sympathetic side of heaven and man, the spirit of incense was originally used to worship the sky, especially good at this.

The Demon Dao discovered its wonderful use, combined with the method of induction, and guided it to the realm of the Divine Kingdom, which further boosted the belief in the Jiang God.

At this moment, however, another scent emerged.

This is a mixture of green wood incense, smoked land, and benzoin incense!

They were also dragged into the realm of the Divine Kingdom by the Spiritual Incense, but they were distinct from those Wishing Incense Spirits and would not be assimilated.

In a short time, these incense repellents formed bursts of smoke, making the realm of the Divine Kingdom hazy, as if it was about to disappear in the void.

The function of incense includes sacrifice, but there is not necessarily only one type of sacrifice.

The way of Li Zhen is to refine the soul by eating incense, and the connotation is not the same as incense becoming a god.

He added ingredients to these incense products distributed to the people, which was equivalent to a mixture of spiritual incense and evil incense.

On the one hand, there is a spirit of faith, leading the spirit, and reaching the place of the gods;

On the one hand, it repels evil and drives away filth, repels turbidity and odor, and shields the jurisdiction of the kingdom of God......

In the midst of the contradictions, yin and yang are mixed, reflecting the true attitude of his heart towards this way.

Soon after, after the worship was over, hundreds of people carried torches and lit the firewood piles that had been prepared in advance.

As the brilliant flames rose, a large amount of incense poured into the void like a rolling torrent.

Li Zhen personally lit the largest pile of incense wood in the depths of the center, and then instructed everyone to pour all kinds of spices and various materials prepared in advance.

The flames rose several feet high, and the smoke began to emit a large amount of incense, carrying a fresh smell to wash away the evil and dispel the epidemic that brought disease.

This is the function of believing in spiritual incense to repel insects and ward off evil spirits.

Subsequently, a large number of incense seemed to form a field full of warmth, spreading out at once, and under the impetus of the blazing heat, it instantly shuttled through the void, like a bright light reflecting a hundred miles.

This is the function of rejuvenating the soul and smelling the fragrance for a hundred miles.

Li Zhen used the principle of mixing incense to make the active ingredients in the incense of Xinling into a wonderful use, and stimulated to every corner around the royal city.

The Hearsa Division, who was secretly waiting, was soon surprised to find that the plague was really weakening and dissipating.

They were amazed.

The system of the feudal dynasty was not enough to deal with such an invisible enemy, and every time it was encountered, it had to suffer heavy losses.

In the end, it is often because there are enough people who die of natural diseases, creating a no-man's land, so that they can stop, or there are immortal masters who end up, hang the pot to help the world, and make merits to cross people.

The victims were also amazed: "It seems that we are burning the fields!"

"That's different, the smell of burning straw and weeds is very smoky, this smell is weird and good, I feel a lot more energetic. ”

Thinking back on the time of this time, Li Zhen once again took a large incense stick the thickness of his arm, and worshiped it like those devout believers towards the incense wood pyre like a volcano.

It's just that he doesn't worship God, but himself.

He also silently made his wish to pray for blessings and eliminate disasters.

Worship the sky, may the sky open its eyes, good and evil will be rewarded, and the world will be selfless;

Second, worship the ghosts and gods, may the ghosts and gods be scattered, and there will be no way for good and evil, but they will call themselves;

Three worship the earth, may the earth be blessed, the wind and rain will be smooth, and the Haiyan River will be clear;

Worship all sentient beings, may everyone be like a dragon, virtuous, and self-improving!

Looking up to the sky is yin, only I am yang, praying for less yin, self-improvement is less yang, yin and yang are combined, rigidity and softness are combined, and the party is true.

Li Zhen's originally hazy mind seemed to become clear and more resolute.

Through this incident, he proved that one cannot be without faith and must not fall into superstition.

Burning incense and lighting candles, it is better to forge ahead, believe in the spirit, the original mind is pure, worship God is better than worship yourself, this is Li Zhen's "my life is up to me, not to heaven".

The transcendent Dao heart was born from this.

If people in the world do not have this heart, they will either be ignorant and superstitious and give people authority, or they will be fearless and arrogant, and they will not be able to follow the right path after all.

As the incense rose, his own spiritual will was so blazing that it seemed to begin to burn, and the slightest wish power turned into spiritual incense and emanated from it.

People are like firewood, and the magic of incense seems to be used more and more freely.

Suddenly, Li Zhen felt that his heart was clear, as if he had an epiphany.

There is a powerful force that pulls the change of the law phase, and it actually goes out of the body and manifests in the air.

Day trip to the realm!

Through his strong spiritual will, as well as the accumulation of some time ago and today's transformation, he finally took this crucial step.

The sun spirit that used to be like a furnace no longer damages its soul, but like the scorching sun in the desert, it is still a little vicious.

"Ah, the manifestation has appeared!"

The foolish people who believed in the god of the river knelt down on the spot.

"It's the three-headed and six-armed man!"

Those wealthy businessmen who had seen this in their dreams were also inexplicably frightened.

"There was a mistake in the previous information, he turned out to be a great monk in the realm of day travel, at least in the late Yuan Infant period!"

The Strange Opinion and the Nine Princesses, who knew about the Xianmen, were like great enemies, and they didn't know what the meaning of this master's sudden appearance at the scene of the blessing ceremony was.

Many people even raised the evaluation of him in their minds to a higher level, and they were shocked and inexplicable.

After the three-headed and six-armed boy came out, he seemed to be lifted by the diffuse fireworks, and slowly floated into an inexplicable void.

Li Zhen could clearly sense that the Divine Kingdom Jurisdiction that was originally mastered by Jiaolong seemed to emit a thunderous roar, and then it was even more distorted with the mirage.

Immediately after that, boundless golden rays shone out of it, filling the void.

Even in reality, there are bursts of golden light like morning light.

These visions lasted for a long time, until the void merged, like the rolling incense of the flood diverting to the level of his own child.

Another jurisdiction has been generated.

But this is not the divine realm of Shinto, but the realm of immortal cultivators who sense heaven and earth and speak the law.

It's really true, it belongs to the law realm of the Yuan Infant level!

Immediately after, an inexplicable intuition was born.

Li Zhen suddenly discovered that this Dharma Phase was no longer an empty shell, it had the natural supernatural powers that a true Law Phase should have!

The idea differentiation and tripled blessings represented by the three heads and six arms have really appeared!
