When they came, Su Yi took the ride half-heartedly.
He sensed the old widower's call, locked the location, and used the power of the formation to land directly in front of the old widower.
But when he goes back, Su Yi has to take action on his own.
Fortunately, there are mountain roads between villages here. It is said to be dozens of kilometers, but the actual straight-line distance is not far, that is, it is just over the mountain. Su Yi used Qinggong and returned to Ba in less than a quarter of an hour. In front of God.
As for Noyin...
On the way, Su Yi accidentally killed him completely.
Bayang Shen saw Su Yi coming back again and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
This time, not only was she no longer afraid and alienated from Su Yi, but she felt somewhat close to him.
"Master, are you back? Did things go smoothly?"
"It went smoothly." Su Yi was in a happy mood, "A-Ning is already on her way here. I think my promise to her will be fulfilled soon."
"The great god has made a huge promise, and he will not deviate even half a cent because the other party is a mortal, and he will not shrink back because of troubles. He is so high-spirited and upright, and the little god really admires him." Bayan said.
"This is nothing." Su Yi said calmly, "Fellow Taoist, I'm here to bother you, but I actually have something to ask for advice."
"What the great god wants to know is about the method of incense becoming a god?" God Bayan seemed to have expected it and asked calmly.
"Exactly." Su Yi nodded.
"Since the great master is interested, I know that I will tell you everything, so please let me tell you slowly." God Bayan has no intention of hiding anything.
This is a very smart creature. She knows that Su Yi will not come to her for no reason. If such a powerful existence does not kill her, it must not be just to ask about An Ning.
After all, she wasn’t the only one who knew about Aning, so who wouldn’t ask?
During the previous conversation, Bayang Shen noticed that Su Yi knew very little about the way to become a god through incense, but was quite interested in it. Therefore, he determined that this was what Su Yi "wanted" for her.
She has no intention of raising the price, because firstly, she has no negotiation capital, and she has no means of countering once the other party turns against her; secondly, rather than exchanging benefits, she hopes to make friends with such a great person. , even if you don’t get any benefits, it’s already a good result if you don’t offend.
As for the method of turning incense into a god, it is actually not a secret at all, otherwise there would not be countless gods in these four towns and eight villages.
"Actually, little wild gods like us, to put it bluntly, are just grass-roots people, amusing themselves." As soon as Bayan God opened his mouth, he smiled bitterly and laughed at himself, "They say they have become gods, but in fact they are just drawing the ground as a prison. He's just a poor thing who will die out sooner or later. The little god has been running the business for three generations in these four towns and eight villages, and he is already considered one of the top gods among believers within a hundred miles. But to the real gods, I am just a rich country man."
When Su Yi heard this, he was really humiliated.
But it is a rare moment when the human world is sober, without arrogance and arrogance, and really thinks that he is a god.
"In the beginning, the purpose of us little gods was just to extend our lives and avoid the pain of karma, so we used incense to resolve the seven-day cycle and used believers to share our karma." Bayan said, "But over time, we can't live without incense. It's true that success is a believer and failure is a believer."
Incense can relieve coldness and resolve karma. This is a commonly accepted common sense in the spiritual practice community. But this only treats the symptoms, not the root cause, and the incense of mortals does not last long, so few practitioners make a fuss about it.
But few does not mean none. Some practitioners have actually created ways to use incense to become gods, using this to make themselves "live forever in the world."
This method of becoming a god by burning incense sounds lofty, but in fact it is not mysterious. It is a kind of ghost cultivation method that takes an eccentric approach.
To practice this method, you must start preparing before you are alive. Before you are alive, you must plan the territory for yourself to become a god after death, create a good momentum, make preparations, and use a specific method to "disintegrate" yourself at a specific time and place. , only in this way can it be achieved overnight, and the soul can be condensed by incense as soon as possible after death.
In fact, when incense becomes a god, what is achieved is a spiritual body that grows and grows through sacrifice. Therefore, the spiritual world calls this kind of spiritual body a "sacrificial spirit", which means a spiritual body that is worshiped.
The sacrificial spirit is not an ordinary ghost, but a Yin spirit without a ghost core, so she must rely on incense to maintain her soul and increase her strength.
But similarly, because there is no ghost core, the sacrificial spirit does not have to endure the seven-day cycle of reincarnation that frightens other ghosts. Even as the sacrificial spirit enjoys more incense, the karma of its lifetime will be completely disappeared.
The karma problem that causes headaches for thousands of ghosts does not exist here at all!
The principle behind this is actually very simple. The karma caused by the sacrifice to the spirit is borne by her followers. It does not mean that she does not create karma.
Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Sacrifice to spirits can avoid karma, but a corresponding price must be paid.
The biggest price is the incense. The sacrificial spirit must not be separated from the incense. If the sacrificial spirit loses the incense for worship, it is equivalent to losing its foundation. Because without the ghost core, the sacrificial spirit will directly dissipate and completely disappear from the world!
The second is freedom. The spirit must have a place to rest in, which is usually a temple. There must also be a special medium to serve her statue and promote her name while taking care of the incense in the world. The sacrificial spirit cannot leave its "jurisdiction" easily, otherwise it will be like a fish out of water.
In the end, there is no way out. Since there is no ghost core, sacrificing a spirit is equivalent to cutting off one's own path to reincarnation. Sacrificial spirits have no chance to be reincarnated. They only have this life and the present.
In fact, the sacrificial spirits are originally "the shrines of wild gods" that are not recognized by heaven and earth. They are self-proclaimed evil gods and wild gods. In the mainland, how many sacrificial spirits are hated because of being attacked?
Once a sacrificial spirit loses its incense, it will become worse than a lonely ghost, and it will end up completely dissipating, which is very miserable.
But why do many practitioners still choose to make sacrifices to spirits, even at the expense of their own lives, in pursuit of incense and becoming gods?
This is naturally the temptation to become a god, blinded by the temporary illusion.
Every sacrificial spirit has "eternal" ambitions. If it were in ancient times, there might be sacrifice spirits who could become great gods and could exist for hundreds of years and thousands of years.
But nowadays, sacrificial spirits like Bayan God, which has existed for about a hundred years, are already considered "big gods" in the local area.
Bayan God now has hundreds of believers, and there were even thousands of followers at her peak. She is already considered very good.
Some of the other worship services in these four towns and eight townships have only a few dozen believers, or even a dozen believers, struggling to maintain their existence.
Some sacrificial spirits will be swallowed by other evil spirits because they have too few and too weak believers.
This kind of pure energy body without ghost core is a great tonic for many ghosts.
This is also the fate faced by most of the sacrificed souls today.
"Actually, I have foreseen that sooner or later I will become the devil's food." God Bayan said pessimistically, "When I was at my peak, I had hundreds of believers in the neighboring counties and cities. I was I even have the ambition to become the god of the whole Bayan. But what about now? My followers now are not as good as a fraction of what they were back then."
"The most terrifying thing is that no young people are willing to believe in me. The hundreds of believers now are all the old people from decades ago. When they are all dead, the only way waiting for me is to die."
"To this day, I am actually worse than a mortal. Mortals still have the opportunity to be reincarnated, but I have no future..."
"This was your original choice, and you can't blame others." Su Yi said, "At the beginning, you chose to be worshiped by others. You chose to become a high-altitude god and enjoy the incense of the world. Now that the song has come to an end, there is nothing to complain about."
God Bayan sighed: "I'm just too unwilling. The world is changing too fast. When I became a god, I thought I would exist for thousands or ten thousand years. Who knew that in just a few decades, the world would become Like this now? If I had known earlier, I would never have made such a choice. I would rather live an ordinary life and then be reincarnated."
Su Yi believed that Bayan God's regret at this moment was true.
Becoming a sacrificer on the eve of entering the technological and information age is not much different from joining the Fruit Army in 1949.
Now is no longer a world where ignorant people in the countryside can do whatever they want.
Su Yi looked at Bayang Shen and shook his head.
He couldn't save the sacrificial spirit in front of him.
First, he couldn't transform her. She had no karma and didn't need to be transformed. She didn't have a ghost core and couldn't be reincarnated.
Secondly, what Bayan God needs is incense and more believers to believe in her. In this era, faith is no longer a necessity for ordinary people's lives. Even if you believe it, if you don’t believe in the three major world-famous religions, why should you believe in a little god from a country temple that you have never heard of?
Therefore, Su Yi could neither give God Bayan what she wanted nor provide any help to her.
Su Yi could only promise not to harm her.
This is probably what God Bayan wants.
Of course, this guy must have taken a fancy to Su Yi's power and the hostile relationship between Su Yi and the demon of Asantia Textile Factory when he pleased Su Yi so much.
So she could be regarded as wanting something from Su Yi. Su Yi knew this and squeezed Bayang Shenlai without any psychological burden.
"Some of the little tricks in your method are quite interesting, such as the connection with believers, and the little tips you just used on the use of mental power." Su Yi directly said "order".
God Bayan would definitely not be stingy, so he immediately explained and taught Su Yi.
The method of using incense to become a god places great emphasis on the exercise of mental power and the use of mental power.
What Su Yi had seen before, condensing the illusion into a spiritual rosary, was one of its uses.
Another application is direct mind control, or "pollution" of the other party's mind.
But these methods all have a prerequisite, which is the cultivation of spiritual power.
Bayang Shen has mastered a method of cultivating spiritual power. This is also the first time Su Yi has come into contact with such a method.
In fact, the Buddha Mother's initiation method he received from Long Po before was a method of using mental power, which also consumed spiritual power. However, Long Po taught him the method through the Buddha Mother's initiation method, so he knew it. I don't know why.
He knows how to use his mental power, but he doesn't know how to exercise his mental power.
Now, this shortcoming has been made up for.
This method of training mental power has no name, it is just a part of the method of making incense into a god, so Su Yi simply called it "the method of refining the god".
This method is a method of visualization. Visualize yourself as a god, and then use incense to temper the image of the god you visualized to exercise and strengthen your spirit.
Su Yi is best at drawing inferences from one instance, and he thought of a substitute for incense on the spot - internal force!
The attributes of his current internal energy are very weird, and they can be a little bit virtual and real. The things he visualizes may not be able to be exercised with internal energy.
Su Yi believed that with the cooperation of Lei Fa, he might be able to develop something great by himself.
He decided to give it a try when he had the chance!
As for the method of attracting believers through incense becoming a god, it also has merits.
Once there is an additional believer, after God Bayan receives incense worship from him, he will establish a spiritual connection with him at the moment of worship, leaving a "belief in God" in the other person's spirit. print".
In fact, it is a spiritual mark condensed by a special method.
With this divine seal, it means that this person is a believer of Bayan God.
This divine seal is of great use. Believers burn incense to worship. No matter how far away the incense is, the incense will be transmitted to the worshiping spirit through this spiritual seal. At the same time, as long as a believer mentions the name of the sacrificial spirit, the sacrificial spirit will sense it through the spiritual mark and decide whether to respond to the believer.
But this spiritual mark is not permanent, and the time it lasts depends on the strength of the sacrificial spirit.
A stronger sacrificial spirit can make this mark last for several years or even more than ten years. When the Bayan God was at its peak, her divine seal could last for eight years.
But for weaker sacrificial spirits, the divine seal may only last a year, a few months, or even a month.
For example, the current divine seal of God Bayan can only last for about one year.
If the divine seal is used frequently, that is, the sacrificial spirit often pays attention to the believers through the divine seal, and the believers often pass incense to the sacrificial spirit through the divine seal, then the divine seal is considered to be maintained frequently, and it will always be effective.
The time limit mentioned before is the longest time limit when the divine seal is not maintained.
This situation is actually quite common.
For example, someone worshiped Bayan God for something and established a religious relationship with Bayan God.
But then he forgot about Bayan God, or even changed his belief, so he stopped worshiping Bayan God. The seal left by Bayan God on him would gradually dissipate over time.
Su Yi did not miss this method. This method was very practical for him. In ancient times, it was faster than sending a telegraph or making a phone call when used to transmit information.
In fact, the practice of worshiping spirits is declining, and they as a group are also trying to save themselves, but the results are not good, and sometimes even have the opposite effect.
Such as "Apparition".
Sometimes they will create some miracles in order to attract believers.
Of course these miracles are real, just to let more people know that they are "spiritual".
But people today are no longer like people in the old society. The more "spiritual" a god is, the more "evil" it is to them, and the more they will stay away from it.
