Zhao Wujiang stopped and looked back at the old Taoist. The old Taoist had a sincere smile on his face and pointed in another direction, indicating that that was the location of the City God's Temple.
Zhao Wujiang raised his feet and tried to walk in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion. He found that the world in front of him seemed to be sealed, making it impossible to take an inch forward.
"Fellow Taoist, please don't go astray." The old Taoist reminded me kindly.
Zhao Wujiang's eyes were deep and he smiled and said to Lin Yu:
"Listen to people's advice, eat enough, and let's go take a look."
Lin Yu scratched his head. He didn't notice anything unusual. His Highness said he should go and have a look, so go and have a look.
You might as well go and pay homage to the clay sculptured golden body of the demon god.
Worshiping demon gods is not a rare thing in the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty, or even in the outside world.
Whether in the secular world or the spiritual world, there are many people who respect demons and gods.
The master and servant walked towards the location of the Chenghuang Temple in Tianwu City.
The closer they get to the Chenghuang Temple, the more pious they feel.
On the road, many people would kneel down and bow in the direction of the City God's Temple every few steps, approaching the City God's Temple in this way.
When they arrived at the gate of the City God's Temple, the two of them saw a large crowd of people in Wuyangyang.
The entrance to the Chenghuang Temple looked like a busy city, with people coming in and out, with expressions of joy or sadness on their faces.
Zhao Wujiang stepped through the threshold of the City God's Temple, and his whole body felt strangely calm.
There was an inexplicable weird feeling in his heart.
Seeing so many practitioners and ordinary people entering the temple to worship the golden body of the demon god, he felt light and airy all over.
This kind of lightness is not complacency or pride, but trance.
There is an unreal trance.
When we arrived at the temple, the air around us was filled with the rich and complex scent of incense.
Zhao Wujiang looked at the three-foot-tall clay statue in front of him. This was the first time he saw a demon statue.
Similarly, this demon statue has no appearance and is still faceless.
"Little baby, don't look directly at the face of the demon god." A pale-haired old man knelt on a futon nearby and gently tapped Zhao Wujiang's leg with his crutch, educating him.
Zhao Wujiang smiled, flicked the hem of his robe, and knelt on the futon, kneeling towards the demon statue.
Kneeling down and worshiping himself, he felt no pressure, but it felt weird.
Lin Yu had already lit the incense and placed it devoutly on the huge square tripod incense burner in the temple. Then he quickly came to His Highness and knelt down.
"Old man, why can't you look the demon god in the face?" Zhao Wujiang looked pious and bowed respectfully, then straightened up and asked with a smile.
"Do you know why the demon god's golden body has no face?" The old man knelt on the futon, clasped his hands, glanced at the majestic demon god's golden body, then withdrew his gaze and buried his head piously.
"Please enlighten me." Zhao Wujiang also lowered his head slightly, and Lin Yu also imitated his Highness's behavior, but his eyes were wandering around and scanning around the temple.
"Alas." The old man sighed deeply, with a sad expression on his face:
“Children today have almost forgotten the glory and deeds of their ancestors.
The reason why the demon god is faceless is because he represents all living beings, and he died for all living beings.
He has long been a statue to all living beings. No matter whether they are ordinary villagers or powerful practitioners, they cannot look directly into the faceless face of the demon god.
Because those who look directly are sentient beings.
No living being can look directly at all living beings!
When you see all sentient beings, you need to bow your head. "
"When you see all sentient beings, you need to bow your head." Zhao Wujiang murmured softly, his eyes were extremely deep, and he seemed to have a little more understanding of the way of life.
Only by lowering your head can you see the suffering of all living beings, feel it, realize it, and transcend it.
Understand the changes in life, the joys and sorrows, the joys and sorrows, and become a true god in your own way.
"Demon God..."
Zhao Wujiang knelt in front of his statue. The statue had no face and seemed to be looking down at him, as if he was one of the living beings.
He felt a mysterious aura reverberating between heaven and earth, and he suddenly smiled with relief.
He realized.
He finally knew what he was doing in the future and past.
