On the left is the God of the Earth, and on the right is the God of the Sky. However, the center of the temple is vacant.
"Of course the central position in the Mazu Temple must be reserved for the Empress Mazu."
Chen Changan chuckled and started the last and most important carving - carving Mazu.
Who is Mazu?
Mazu's original name was Lin Mo. She was a fisherman's daughter of the Han ethnic group. She was extremely intelligent, kind and upright. She was silent on weekdays and was called Mo Niang by the villagers. She later died while rescuing a shipwrecked person and remained unmarried.
She is not a made-up idol, but a historical figure who emerged from the people and was sanctified.
In short, Mazu is both a god and a human being.
She is a God, He should protect and help those in need; She is a human being, she has seven emotions and six desires!
With this concept in mind, Chen Changan began his creative process, holding a chisel of nearly thirty centimeters to carve on a boulder about two meters long.
From evening to late at night, the engineering team had completed the interior decoration of the temple, but Chen Changan was still immersed in the wonderful process of carving. This wonderful feeling made him completely unaware of the passage of time.
Click, click, click!
Pieces of gravel were chipped away with a chisel, gradually taking shape of the entire stone sculpture.
The moon is full in the world, and the bright moonlight falls on the temple. The members of the engineering team, Zhang Sanlun, and the six coders are talking to each other outside the temple. They are both from shipyards, and they also have more topics to talk about. We quickly became familiar with each other.
"Master Chang'an, is this really your first time carving?"
"Just looking at the carvings of the Great God Chang'an feels like an artistic level of enjoyment!"
"Genius!"
"It's incredible that the Chang'an God was able to carve such a big stone with just a chisel, and it was recognized by the gods!"
A member of the engineering team touched his head and guessed:
"I always feel that the Great God Chang'an must have been a big boss before to be able to create so many miracles. Even carving a stone statue can cause such a big fuss."
As the number one fanboy, Wang Fugui knew Chen Changan the best among all the people, and he thought to himself:
"Why do I always feel that... the boss used to be a top keyboard warrior?"
Chen Changan was immersed in the carving process, and naturally he was not aware of the exclamations and discussions of the people. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the process of carving the stone statue.
The chisel was like a paintbrush, and Chen Changan became a painter, depicting the image of Mazu in his heart.
"Huh~"
Chen Changan gasped heavily.
The whole 24 hours of non-stop carving process was difficult for even a fourth-level extraordinary species to bear, but he still did not stop the carving process, constantly peeling off excess waste from the boulder, and the chisel almost danced into a phantom, making the whole The stone statues are becoming more and more complete.
When a ray of morning light fell, Chen Changan's arm suddenly stopped, and an image of Mazu, both sacred and approachable, appeared in front of everyone. At first glance, it seemed that there was really a gentle goddess. With a slight smile, Guard everyone.
Everyone present was attracted by the Mazu statue and praised:
"I used to believe in Feitian Spaghetti God, but now I feel that having faith is also a good thing. Gods like Mazu will definitely not create money-making methods like indulgences like in the West. thing."
"I feel like I was healed by Mazu's smile!"
"What is Mazu's sacrifice? Don't any of you compete with me for the second place of worship!"
"Hmph, let's see who has the fastest feet then."
Listening to everyone's admiration for the Mazu statue, Chen Changan smiled slightly, feeling full of accomplishment:
"This is the Mazu in my heart!"
The system sent a congratulatory message:
"The statue of Mazu has just been completed. Do you want to worship it?"
[Sacrifice requirements: food, wine, and others. 】
"other?"
Chen Changan froze. Originally, he planned to offer some light blue quality delicacies, but when he saw "others", an inspiration flashed in his mind, and he always felt that there was something he had missed.
He began to rummage through the storage space. There were too many useless items that may or may not be useful, making the entire storage space disorganized.
But in the end, Chen Changan finally found something he wanted in the corner of the storage space - 98kg of statue gravel imbued with divinity.
When he smashed the statue of the Filthy Sea Spirit, he harvested these rubbles that he could not think of a use for yet, but now, Chen Changan had a premonition - perhaps a man's intuition, which imbued these with divinity. Sacrifice the broken stones of the statue to the Mazu statue, and you will get a great benefit.
Chen Changan took out all the statue rubble, respectfully placed it in front of the Mazu statue, and quietly waited for Mazu to collect it.
brush!
A ball of seawater suddenly appeared from the void, wrapping all the rubble. A trace of wonderful energy was extracted from the statue's rubble, and all of it was integrated into the ball of seawater.
The seawater mass absorbed more and more strange energy, and actually emitted a faint sea-blue light, which was amazing.
When the broken stone of the statue gradually lost its charm, the seawater mass suddenly split into two. The larger part flowed into the mouth of the Mazu statue, making the entire stone statue more charming, while the smaller part moved towards the direction of Chen Changan. flew over.
Chen Changan instinctively opened his mouth, and the sea water quickly poured into his mouth.
Tons tons tons tons tons~
Chen Changan could clearly feel that some subtle changes had taken place in his body and soul, as if some kind of restriction had been lifted and his body was absorbing water spiritual power from the outside faster and faster.
The system sent a congratulatory message:
"Congratulations, you have received the blessing of Mazu, the God of the Sea! Your divine ability - underwater breathing has been upgraded to the blessing of the sea!"
"God-given ability - Blessing of the Sea: When you are in a seawater environment, you will permanently gain the ability to breathe underwater, and the damage caused to you by water pressure will be reduced by 90%, and the recovery speed of water spiritual power will be greatly increased."
Chen Changan was about to study the specific effects of the Sea's Blessing in detail. In the next second, the entire temple underwent major changes.
Boom!
The statue of the Earth God was the first to emit yellow-orange light, which scattered throughout the temple.
The four stone walls of the temple gradually merged into one, just like the previous earth god statue, it was actually connected to the earth.
The statue of the sky god followed closely behind, and a breeze blew by. A large number of wooden blocks that had not been contaminated by the cursed arrows were pulled out of the Iron Tree King's body, and flew into the "big wooden cover" above the temple, causing the defense of the entire upper level of the temple to collapse. Strength is greatly enhanced.
Finally, the Mazu statue shines brightly, illuminating every corner of the Mazu temple.
When the light finally dissipated, the entire temple seemed to possess some kind of faint fluorescence, which was awe-inspiring.
The system sends a prompt tone:
"Congratulations, you have completed the regional main mission - Recover Treasure Island. Do you want to receive the mission reward? (A team of clay puppets, 0.1% of the deep sea world's blessing)"
"yes!"
Chen Changan felt a little hopeful. The regional main mission had been released for almost a month, but it was not completely completed until today. During this month, he would always think about:
"How strong are these clay puppets, and what do they look like?"
Boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
Suddenly there was a heavy stampede outside the temple door, as well as the shouts of some members of the engineering team:
"Oh my God, what are those? Mud giants? They're coming out of the ground!"
"This has to be two stories high!"
"Is it the evil mountain giant described in the "Message to All the People"?"
"No! They don't look evil at all!"
Some members of the engineering team had never entered the temple, so they saw the existence of the clay puppets before Chen Changan and others.
Under a burst of black-yellow light, a total of twelve clay giants over five meters in size slowly opened up the earth, and one after another crawled out from the depths of the earth.
Step, step, step!
Every step the clay puppets take is like an ancient giant elephant trampling heavily on the earth, which is terrifying.
Chen Changan felt moved and immediately ran out of the Mazu Temple, finally seeing the clay puppet he had longed for.
Twelve tall clay puppets stood quietly in front of the temple.
[Load Puppet Leader]
Condition: Good
Level: Level 3 Extraordinary Species
Creature description: Ancient beings that have been sleeping on Treasure Island for many years. Due to their long sleep, their strength has been weakened to level 3 extraordinary species. However, they still have strong offensive and defensive capabilities, but their heavy bodies also make their movement speed too slow.
Ability 1: Punch hard
The clay puppets possess great power, and they can unleash extremely destructive punches simply by integrating the earth's spiritual power into their fists.
Ability 2: Sleep
In order to prolong their lives as much as possible, the clay puppets have understood the true meaning of sleep. As long as they are in a deep sleep state, they can greatly delay the aging of the body and quickly restore physical and spiritual energy through sleep.
Ability 3: Charge in a group
Because their movement speed was too slow, the clay puppets tried to wrap themselves into a ball and charge at the enemy by rolling stone balls.
Rating: They're slow, but they're also long-lasting!
The moment Chen Changan walked out, the clay puppets all knelt down on one knee. The leading clay puppet seemed to be slightly taller than its peers. It said respectfully:
"Follow the orders of the Earth God, and the Clay Golem will fight for you until death."
The other eleven clay puppets also said in unison:
"Fight for you until death!"
Chen Changan's sense of security increased slightly by 100 points, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly as he said:
"I don't like the name puppet. From now on, you will be called Mud Guards, okay?"
The leader of the soil guards still knelt down on one knee and swore:
"As you wish, from now on, we are the earth guards. We will make every effort, even if it costs our lives, we will become your loyal shield to resist all invading enemies, life and death!"
Many soil guards swore in unison:
"Life and death!"
Chen Changan smiled slightly, feeling more confident about fighting against the invasion of wargs.
