Chapter 12: The Secret of the Gods?
Along the way, Lao Qin's mind was thinking about how to persuade the people in the village to come to the Chenghuang Temple to worship, this year, the slightly wealthy people would rather buy some food and hoard it in the cellar of their homes than pray to the gods and worship the Buddha.
One of the main reasons is that after the ordinary people worship and pray to the gods, they will make wishes, and now Meng Yuan is still above the court, and the gods of the whole world are either closed, or they have returned to heaven to report their work, so that their temples are not spiritual, and in the long run, people are not willing to waste money to worship the gods.
"At the end of the day, we still have to know what people think in their heads. If you have any wishes, then choose the best way to help them make them happen. With the words of the City God Lord echoing in his mind, and the dream technique taught by the City God on his body, Lao Qin Tou decided to wait until it was dark, and the people in the village were asleep and then use the dream technique to explore the bottom first, so that it would be good to prescribe the right medicine, maybe it would be useful.
"We must make some achievements, and it is best to beat out the bright head of the City God Temple. Old Qin Tou whispered, looking excited. Then he looked back at the few unsuccessful sons behind him, and his eyes were full of helplessness.
The City God Temple is only a dozen miles away from Qinjia Village, this City God Temple has a history of several hundred years, and it is said that it was built under the auspices of the prefect of Tianfu during the Song Dynasty.
Walking more than ten miles from the Chenghuang Temple to the west is Qinjia Village, and walking more than ten miles from the east is the direction of Yingtianfu, there is also a village to the west, and there is also a village in the north, and the Chenghuang Temple is in the center, presenting a treasure land surrounded by feng shui.
It's just that in recent years, because Buddhism has flourished, and Buddhism pays attention to the fate of the law, cultivates merits in this life, and seeks good fortune in the next life, unlike Taoism, which pays attention to the present world of retribution with a tooth for a tooth.
This also leads ordinary people to pray for God's wishes in Taoist temples, and if they do not fulfill their wishes for a long time, they will lose their credibility, but Buddhism does not have this problem.
After Lao Qin Tou left, Zhang Yixian stood in the City God Temple, and a light red incense the size of a little thumb was placed in the palm of his hand. It was the first time he had seen such the power of incense, and it had emerged from Old Qintou.
"The power of this incense made me feel a mysterious power that seemed to be able to affect me. The more Zhang Yixian observed, the more obvious the shock in his heart became, in the past, whether it was Lao Qin Tou or his sons, the power of incense contributed was white with a hint of coolness, the first time he saw such incense, not only the color turned pale red, but his fingers touched it, and there was a slight burning sensation, and after his fingers were far away, the feeling became similar to warm water.
"It's amazing, it seems that there is a big secret in this incense. Swallowing the entire light red incense power into his body, a steady stream of Dao sensations appeared from his body.
Zhang Yixian didn't dare to be careless, and immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, and immediately ran the exercise of cultivating the divine soul in his mind, and the effect was even a hundred times better than before.
The essence of the sun and moon in the body is also more pure and thick, and the soul is more condensed, and there is even a qualitative feeling.
If it weren't for Zhang Yixian's deliberate control, maybe the sun and moon essence in his body would be several times more, and he also had a hunch that it seemed that the power of incense was more than just one use, and that cultivation was only its lowest application.
When his cultivation was completed, there was still a half-large incense power lingering on his body, making his figure even more majestic.
Immersed in it, Zhang Yixian thought to himself, since the power of incense is contributed from the body of a mortal to worship the gods, then if the power of incense is produced by a god worshipping a god, how incredible it would be.
And the power of incense is somewhat similar to the power of faith, in his previous life, he once saw in a post that someone analyzed some words of the power of the gods' incense, and the owner of the post said on it that the so-called power of incense is the belief of human beings in the gods, so as to hand over their future infinite fate to the gods, which means that from now on, the infinite fate of this human future is all in the hands of the gods he believes.
He also said that this is not the power of the gods to spread incense out of morality and obligation, but not so much the power of incense, but the more mysterious power of fate, but this practice is too shocking, and if all the gods and immortals understand this secret, then all human beings will rise up against the gods, because it is the gods who steal their fate.
Such a passage suddenly appeared in his mind, and in an instant, Zhang Yixian's whole body was chilling, if these words are true, then it also makes sense, the gods have stolen the fate of human beings, and then realize some of their unimportant wishes, so that they can be grateful and believe.
He also guessed that if it was a strong man among human beings, or a decision-maker of fate who worshipped the gods, the power of fate generated would be enough to make ordinary people become immortals and ancestors if used properly.
The more he thought about it, the colder Zhang Yixian's heart became, especially in ancient China to the present, whenever the kingdom of dynasties was in chaos and alternate, there would be people of the so-called destiny of Taoism to come to the world, such as Jiang Ziya, who mastered the god list during the period of King Wu of Zhou, in exchange for the national fortune of the 800-year period of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Another example is the period of the first emperor Taishan Feng Zen, the Han Gaozu period also has the shadow of Taoism, the Three Kingdoms period Liu Bei also received the help of the Taoist Zhuge Liang, plus the Tang Dynasty period, Songshan Shaolin rescued Tang Taizong Li Shimin, and the first empress Wu Zetian on the feudal dynasty in ancient Chinese history, will its ascension to the throne be related to Yuan Tiangang, a representative of Taoism in which period?
Combined with the above historical examples, Zhang Yixian suddenly thought that Zhu Yuanzhang, who has not yet become the founding ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, is not recorded in later generations to say that he got the help of the emperor Liu Ji and Liu Bowen to achieve the entire Zhu family, and later generations even said that Liu Ji is worth half of the Zhu family.
With a violent shock, Zhang Yixian thought that no matter the establishment of an empire in ancient China, the first thing he did after the unification of the country was to lead the subjects of the world to sacrifice to heaven and earth, and inform himself of the orthodox identity of the Son of Heaven.
If this is also a kind of incense power, how can it be used as a material reserve by the gods since the beginning of human beings stepping into civilized society.
This naked plunder made his mind a little unstable, and it seemed to be the truth, a truth that the vast majority of gods and humans did not understand.
Moreover, weren't all the emperors who dared to oppose the gods in history destroyed?
"This is the influence of human luck, something that even the supreme Sanqing saints in myths and legends covet. Hiss~" After taking a breath of cold air, Zhang Yixian felt that no matter who this secret could not be revealed, if it was leaked, maybe he would have been erased by the supreme existence a long time ago.
Just when Zhang Yixian was out of his mind, at the end of the entire heaven and earth, even beyond thirty-three days, an old man held half a fishing rod in his hand, and at the same time that Zhang Yixian was enlightened, the eyelids that the old man had not opened for ten thousand years opened at this moment, and then closed again.
