Chapter 545: Ascension to the Altar
Three days passed in a flash, and this day was the day when Xiong Lin held the altar ascension puja in Baiyan City.
White Rock City is the city on the border of the White Lotus Sect's sphere of influence where Xiong Lin and the others are currently located.
Since three days ago, the White Lotus Sect has begun to advertise in White Rock City that the White Lotus Sect will have a new god ascending to the altar. Therefore, in the past three days, the entire Baiyan City was full of solemnity and excitement, and the aura of incense wafting everywhere had surged dozens of times compared to usual.
Although this 'Altar Ascension Festival' is the altar of raising Xiong Lin, it has little to do with Xiong Lin, and he doesn't have much to do.
For a day, he basically sat in the depths of the White Lotus Temple, on a high platform.
Xiaoqing and the five are separated from him.
The three of them watched the wind and blow in front of the temple, and some of the sect members sat cross-legged and chanted, and with Xiong Lin's ability, they could naturally hear their eulogies clearly, and they were actually singing praises to him Xiong Lin, or 'White Lotus Venerable'.
Listening to the praises of these sect members, although Xiong Lin's face was solemn, he was inevitably a little amused in his heart, those praises were basically big and empty, and there was nothing substantial. However, there is one point that has been repeatedly mentioned, saying that the 'White Lotus Venerable' is also he Xiong Lin, who is the best comrade-in-arms of the White Lotus Mother, helping the White Lotus Mother defeat the enemy of life and death!
This should be said that he helped the White Lotus Holy Mother plot against the Stone Lotus Bodhisattva.
Xiong Lin listened to the eulogies of those sect members, and he felt that this sentence was a bit reliable.
However, although it is unreliable, it is no problem to fool those mortal believers. Countless mortals can be seen gathering in front of the temple and chanting along with the congregation. Keep prostrating, light incense and candles...... The look is extremely pious!
And. As time passed, more and more mortals gathered. Burn incense, bow down, more and more incense wishes to gather!
Finally, as the gathered incense wish power reached a certain level, a little white light was born from the incense wish power.
The white light was holy, like a white lotus luster, and as soon as it appeared, it immediately caused a sensation in the city. Countless mortal devotees, with tears streaming down their faces, flocked to the temple to prostrate, chant, and pray...... So the incense is more and more powerful.
And in the more and more intense incense wishing power, the white lotus-like luster will grow more and more. Gradually, it began to turn into white lotus flowers that floated in the power of incense, like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, sprinkling patches of white light, enveloping those mortal believers who prayed and worshipped.
These white lights can obviously gain the body, and it can be seen that those mortal believers who prostrate are sprinkled on their bodies by the white light, and everyone's faces immediately become ruddy.
The weary become energetic. The wounds on the body are gradually healing, and even some elderly people have smooth wrinkles......
Such a miracle suddenly made the mortal believers who prostrated even more crazy.
The power of incense suddenly doubled again!
Finally, when the incense wish power emerged, eight or nine hundred and seventy-two white lotuses. A special vibration was generated in the power of the incense fire, and the seventy-two white lotuses were immediately attracted to each other and approached each other. Together, in a brilliant white light. Blended together......
Transformed into a statue of a god, about six feet tall. The face is exactly the same as Xiong Lin!
It is the idol of Xiong Lin, with a white lotus under his feet, a golden bell in his hand, and a majestic face, without the color of compassion or evil, but only endless majesty and holiness.
On the tall building in the depths of the temple, Xiong Lin saw that his idol was produced, and finally his expression perked up, and he looked carefully.
On closer examination, he found that the idol was both like himself and not like himself!
How so?
Like himself, the idol was almost identical to him from head to toe, in every detail. The eyes, ears, nose, skin color, body shape, fat and thin are almost exactly the same, and even the hair, I don't know if they are all the same amount!
And unlike himself, it is the temperament of a god!
The idol of Xiong Lin has a majestic and holy temperament!
However, Xiong Lin's own temperament, he understands very well, there may be majesty, but holiness is not at all.
On the contrary, because of the influence of the 'Way of Destruction', Xiong Lin's temperament and aura still have a little bit of darkness and terror of destruction, which is completely incompatible with the holiness full of life!
However, in this regard, Xiong Lin could only shake his head helplessly. He knew it was necessary.
The most important point of the White Lotus Sect's mission in the Yellow Court Realm, and the most important one of the main lines, is to preach that the Yellow Ting Realm is about to usher in the end, and the White Lotus Sect is here to save the world!
Since it is a savior, it must be merciful, it is to give people hope and beauty, so the breath of holiness must be there!
And that dark aura of destruction can only be found by those demon gods, thinking of the fear and despair of mortals!
Xiong Lin had a dark aura of destruction on his body because of the 'Way of Destruction' path, which was undoubtedly very unsuitable for the teachings and propagation of the White Lotus Sect.
Therefore, when he raises the altar and erects the statue of the god, the temperament and breath on the idol must be changed to holiness!
In fact, 'Doomsdayism' and 'Salvationism' have always been the best means and weapons for the spread of religion, especially now that the Huang Ting Realm is indeed heading for the end of the world, and the White Lotus Sect is indeed trying to save these mortal cultists......
Everything is a fact, the fact that there is the general trend of the entire heaven and earth, and the fact that there is chaos around it, which is more conducive to the spread of the White Lotus Sect and the belief of attracting mortal believers!
Even mortals have their own sources of information, and it may be difficult to get a glimpse of the entire world situation, but the chaos around them, as well as the frequent disasters that occur today, make mortals have to believe it!
In fact, now in the Huang Ting Realm, the forces that want to compete for mortal resources are basically preaching 'doomsdayism' and 'salvation'.
This is the best means of propaganda and dissemination in light of the current reality! Basically, it is the best choice for the major religions and the Immortal Dynasty before the collapse of every small world!
Therefore, often in some religious legends and myths, there are legends of 'doomsday' and 'gods and Buddhas to save the world'!
These are often not just 'legends' but religious history that has really experienced the 'end times' of some small worlds in which mortal believers are saved!
Similarly, there are some similar legends among some powerful and long-standing immortal dynasties.
For mortals, it is a legend, but for the monks of these forces, it is all recorded history and experience!
In front of the temple, the statue of Xionglin was generated, and once again set off a peak, countless mortals gathered, bowed, chanted, prayed, and sacrificed......
Xiong Lin's spiritual eyes could see that the rich incense power was generated out of thin air, converging towards his idol and submerging into the idol. Suddenly, the newly generated idol gradually became more and more substantial, as if it was no longer composed of incense and white lotus luster, but was known for its true platinum.
The statue of God became more and more substantial, and the holy white light above it became more and more intense.
"Ascend to the altar, the statue returns to its place......" Finally, as the chanting of the believers in front of the temple turned into a melodious chant in unison.
In the smoke of incense, the statue of Xiong Lin stepped on the white lotus, and the incense wish turned into a golden river, and the white lotus flowed towards the temple like a boat!
Of course, these are all seen in Xiong Lin's spiritual awareness.
And in the eyes of those ordinary mortal believers, they couldn't see the incense wish power, let alone the golden river transformed by the incense wish power, they could only see the idol of Xiong Lin drifting out of thin air, flying towards the temple!
So, there was another cheer, prayer, and praise, and the atmosphere reached a climax again!
Undoubtedly, religious monks are very good at mobilizing the atmosphere in their hearts, manipulating the emotions of their followers into the palm of their hands.
As far as Xiong Lin knows, the key to the grand 'Ascension Ceremony' in front of the temple is to shape the golden statue of the god with the power of incense. As for the rest, those who chant sutras, and the idols fly...... And so on, many red tape rituals were put forward and implemented by ordinary members of the White Lotus Sect, in order to increase the mystery of the White Lotus Sect, attract believers, spread religion, and absorb the power of incense!
In the White Lotus Sect, up to the White Lotus Holy Mother, down to the monks who practice qi and build foundations, they all welcome this. Not to mention these 'mysterious' rituals, red tape is beneficial for spreading the White Lotus Sect, attracting believers, and increasing the power of incense, that is, now, this 'puja', the power of incense in the entire Baiyan City has almost increased tenfold, so that both the god-rank monks like 'Lotus Flower Shaoyun Juejun' and the ordinary monks in the city are very happy and satisfied!
The incense wish power has increased tenfold, although it is temporary, but they, the monks in the city, will undoubtedly be able to obtain more incense wish power for cultivation!
Therefore, although some White Lotus Sect monks in White Rock City, especially several Avatar Monks who have obtained the divine position, as well as high-level monks Yuanying Monks, are quite uninterested in airborne 'Venerables' like Xiong Lin, they still held Xiong Lin's 'Altar Ascension Festival' very lively and successful!
This is not only related to the face of the White Lotus Sect, but also to their own interests!
That's why it's so positive!
Xiong Lin sat on a tall building in the depths of the temple, smiling slightly, and his eyes swept over the entire temple below.
In that temple, there are a total of six incarnate monks, all of whom have god positions, and there are altars and statues of gods in the attached halls. At this time, these six god-incarnated monks were in the attached hall, merging with their respective gods, and using the gods to swallow and refine the incense power around them.
This is a benefit that can only be possessed by a god-level monk who has an altar and erected a god statue, using the god statue to directly swallow and refine the incense and fire wishing power. And there is no need to go through the White Lotus Mother to get the reward of incense wishing power!
This is also the reason why the middle and high-ranking monks of the White Lotus Sect want to raise the altar and erect the statue!
If you own the altar and the statue, you can swallow and refine the incense wish power, which is undoubtedly much more free and convenient, and you can also get more incense wish power to practice!
Although, their altars and statues can often only stand in one or two temple annexes.
However, in the White Lotus Sect, this is also a rush and everyone is vying for it.
Xiong Lin felt more and more that he had parachuted in like this and directly obtained a 'White Lotus Venerable' divine position, how jealous he was! (To be continued......)
