Facts have proved that 'death' is the ultimate fear of human beings, but no one wants to die whenever possible, especially a group of elderly people who are not far away from death.
In the ten villages selected by Mo Chengjun, apart from Cuijiazhuang, there is no second naturally born ancestor spirit.
There is no way, even if everyone has the habit of offering sacrifices to their ancestors, without inheritance, not everyone can enjoy the power of incense.
However, this situation changed after Mo Chengjun passed down the "Ascension Technique".
These old people selected by Mo Chengjun are all well-deserved and respected people in the village. They all want prestige, means, and wealth.
It is said that people become better with age, and they have inherited it. It is naturally impossible to say that there is no doubt in their hearts and that they are not guilty of Digu.
But the problem is, all of them are dying of old age, and they actually have no choice.
As a result, they almost made the same choice, making all kinds of arrangements for their lives before and after.
For example, build bridges and pave roads, use up your family wealth, and gain a little more fame for yourself.
For example, they pretend to be gods and ghosts, and use all means to put a sacred coat on themselves.
Another example is asking someone to pay for it, build a temple, and make your name known.
I have to say that when there are many people, they all have their own ideas and calculations, and they have all kinds of things!
Mo Chengjun even met an old man and held a 'living burial' for himself.
Yes, the person is not dead yet, but the funeral has already been held. I want to practice as a living person and enjoy the "power of incense and vows" and follow the path of ghosts and gods.
This 'coquettish operation' shocked Mo Chengjun.
Because even the book "Golden Body Art of Wish Power" has not discussed this possibility.
The way of ghosts and gods, why does this prerequisite have to be a 'ghost'?
You're not even a 'ghost', how can you have the nerve to enjoy the power of incense?
Mo Chengjun thought so at first, but here comes the problem, well, this old man Zhao actually got it done? ? !
Yes, even if others are still alive, the temple has really been built, and the incense and aspiration have really gathered.
This person entered Shinto and learned several Shinto techniques.
Then, through dreams and divination, a group of honest villagers were stunned, and this small temple actually seemed to have a flourishing atmosphere.
Then, just when Mo Chengjun was very optimistic about him and felt that this old man was a talent and had some ideas, in the end, he died...
Dead of old age!
There is nothing you can do, incense and fire Shinto has just started, and it has no life-extending effect.
And the old man named Zhao was about to die of old age. During this period of time, he was busy doing divination and dreaming. In order to gather incense, he was so busy that he accidentally overworked himself and died of exhaustion!
I lost it!
This matter really depressed Mo Chengjun!
If he hadn't discovered it a little late, he probably could have used the last 'peach' to prolong the old man's life for a while.
After all, he really couldn't bear to give up such good experimental materials!
However, even though a person died, he became a ghost and openly embarked on the path of ghosts and gods.
And this one is also the second person after 'Cui Dongshan of the Cui family' to truly embark on the path of ghosts and gods.
Of course, he won't be the last!
Generally speaking, among the ten villages, although there are successive ones, some even failed to follow the path of ghosts and gods due to insufficient prestige, insufficient timely deployment, insufficient understanding, impure thoughts, etc.
But Mo Chengjun did not hesitate to start with these, replacing what should be done and adding what should be added. It took about six months to acquire eighteen villages and eighteen ghosts and gods who had just entered the Shinto.
According to the classification of the "Golden Body Technique of Wish Power", these initial ghosts and gods are surprisingly weak and can only be bound to a village. They can protect more than a hundred households and can see the movements within ten miles. They are regarded as a kind of "earth-bound spirits" .
Of course, the official title is actually 'Tu Gong' or 'Tu Tu Po'.
However, none of these are actually important. What is really important is that Mo Chengjun actually observed the birth process of ghosts and gods for the first time.
He watched with his own eyes as these 'landlords' who had gained some incense and wish power began to get busy.
Not to mention building temples based on dreams, selecting temple blessings, divination and praying, exorcism and healing, etc., these are considered their business scope and their own job.
But the problem is that some landowners actually have to distinguish right from wrong, find people and things, and help people get rid of their sins...
Yes, even the work of the Yangshi government was done.
Although, their spells are surprisingly weak, and even the slightest bit of willpower has to be broken in half to be used.
Although they often rely on their prestige in life rather than the majesty of ghosts and gods to deal with conflicts, you cannot deny that they do a pretty good job.
Looking at it from another angle, Mo Chengjun also witnessed the birth of believers.
Speaking of these migrating people, most of them are villagers from remote villages, that is, the lowest level of the Kyushu human race. They have not received much education, and naturally they have no knowledge.
But do you want to say that these villagers are really that easy to deceive?
Not really!
A cat has its own way, and a rat has its own way. Those who can survive in this world will naturally have their own wisdom for survival.
They went from initial suspicion, to trying, to believing, to being certain, and then to developing into true faith.
The subtle changes in psychology were displayed before Mo Chengjun's eyes.
Of course, the reason why they started to believe was not only the mysterious blessings of ghosts and gods, but also more benefits.
Yes, whether it is divination and prediction, praying for blessings, healing and finding people, or even distinguishing right from wrong, they will believe more and more if they really get benefits.
The birth of each believer also allowed Mo Chengjun to see the formation, circulation, collection and use of the so-called "incense and wish power".
Then, gain insight into its essence!
Mo Chengjun discovered that the so-called "incense and wish power" are actually similar to magic power.
They are all the inspirations of heaven and earth imprinted by 'Jing Qi Shen', and are thus formed and driven by will.
As for the subject of this will?
It can be done by humans, ghosts, or even monsters.
The difference is that the magic power is internal and the nature is cautious and independent. It is naturally pure and has a distinct personal style, which is almost incompatible.
The Galaxy Sword Sect's 'Seven Mysterious Sword Qi' is the best example. With a 'me-only' personality, even with Mo Chengjun's level of control, he cannot cultivate the second kind of magic power.
And because everyone's physique is different, their 'jing, qi, and spirit' are slightly different, and the Qixuan Sword Qi that everyone cultivates is also different.
If I have to describe it, there are no two identical leaves in this world, not even clones.
The 'incense will power' is different.
Although it is also made of "Jing Qi Shen" imprinted with the inspiration of heaven and earth, the first thing is that the source of this "Jing Qi Shen" is not the ghosts and gods themselves, but from believers.
In other words, every time a believer prays, he will contribute a part of his own "energy and spirit". Although it is not much, it is more similar to the consumption during daily activities, but the emphasis is on winning by quantity.
Secondly, the power of this incense does not go through the body's meridians, it cannot be refined, and it does not have spiritual attributes. It is just put out directly after being generated, and can be collected by gods and used by ghosts and gods.
Then, the third question comes. Since these incense wishes are not included in individuals, how can we identify specific ghosts and gods?
This has to be said about the 'name of ghosts and gods'.
That is to say, before every prayer, you must clearly state the object of your prayers and ask for blessings and so on. There is a standard format for that.
Otherwise, it is a question which ghost and god will receive the power of this incense!
Finally, and most importantly, all incense wishes carry a 'prayer'.
Those believers will always pray for something, which will be carried by the "incense and wish power", and then may be sensed by ghosts and gods.
Well, even ghosts and gods may be overwhelmed if there are too many believers and too many prayers.
If the prayer is not pious enough and the desire is not strong enough, it may be ignored.
The above conclusions are actually not that amazing. The main reason is that Mo Chengjun studied "The Golden Body Art of Wish Power" before, and even did a lot of research on the Xianxia version of the Internet.
This time, it is more about demonstration and a deeper understanding and recognition of existing conclusions and opinions through experiments.
Don't think that these are unnecessary. In fact, through this practical observation, Mo Chengjun has a deep understanding of the generation and characteristics of incense's will power.
Instead of asking him to explain the 'power of incense and wish', he wanted to say that this is the power of mortals!
In this world, mortals are extremely weak, as weak as the ants at their feet, and they can crush hundreds of them with just their hands.
This is also the reason why many immortal cultivators and even immortal sects don’t care about mortals.
Although they are also from mortals, their essence has transcended to an unknown extent, and there is a gap between heaven and earth.
When you can decide the lives and deaths of millions of people with just one thought, you may feel a little in awe at first, but as time goes by, you really don't care anymore.
This feeling is not even looked down upon, but more of ignored, and no longer taken seriously.
But the way of ghosts and gods is different!
What ghosts and gods absorb is the power of mortals. Although it is scattered and weak, when it is accumulated into a large amount and the sand is gathered into a tower, there will be a qualitative change.
But if ghosts and gods want to grow stronger, want to grow, and want to build a ladder to the sky for themselves that can rival the sun and the moon, the only people they can rely on are their believers.
In other words, it is the believers who make them.
And they will also become the spokespersons of believers to safeguard the interests of mortals.
Until then, Mo Chengjun suddenly understood why the founder of the Great Xuan Dynasty, His Majesty the Human Emperor Hao, wanted to use the way of ghosts and gods to check the way of immortality.
Along the way to immortality, great power belongs to oneself, and it is ultimately superior. Whether it is good or bad depends purely on the personal moral cultivation of the immortal cultivator.
But this thing of 'moral cultivation' is really a matter of benevolence and wisdom. There are people like Xinghe Sword Sect who are willing to regard mortal lives as a big deal.
There are also people like the Jian Fu Sect who treat mortals as leeks in the field and don't care.
To be honest, this is like the 'law' on Blue Star.
It is never the truth, but it uses strong means to ensure the minimum morality.
His Majesty, Emperor Hao, is like using ghosts and gods to gather the "power of mortals" and create the minimum guarantee for mortals.
From this perspective, his idea was excellent, but he failed in the end.
Because incense is poisonous!
Now comes the biggest question, why is incense poisonous?
