Knowing that he had arrived at a town with a large flow of people, he felt happy and immediately used the art of exorcism.
But the object of exorcism is oneself.
It is yourself who drives you!
"The new use of the exorcism technique is to find the coordinates of the Zhenwu statue, and then I can possess it and enjoy the incense and offerings."
The god's form has a natural response to the god's statue. This is how the art of exorcism is originally used. The god who is worshiped descends the form and moves under the direction of this spell.
Moreover, there must be traces of White Lotus Sect activities in crowded places. They always like to distribute small leaflets in crowded places, so in this way, they have a foothold with strong incense and can also enjoy the autumn breeze.
"He has dispersed a lot of the incense of all peoples in the Great Revealed Huaguang Dharma Master, and has not fully obtained it. I have also consumed a lot, and I must replenish it immediately."
Soon, the method of exorcising gods guided Ji Xiang and possessed him on a bright and solemn statue of Zhenwu.
Directly possessing a statue instead of reflecting it is not a strange method. Anyone with a divine position can do this. The Yinsi Divine General in the Forbidden City can possess a statue. Lord Huo also did this in Shichahai. , directly changing the bearded image of Lord Huode into her own beauty, which is the ability of her divine status.
Although Ji Xiang does not have the status of Zhenwu, he does have the status of the other three holy generals, especially Marshal Tianpeng. The so-called Tianpeng is here for convenience.
The statue of Zhenwu moved his eyes, and a weak radiance emitted from it, but this statue was not on the main seat. Ji Xiang looked at the temple. Although the temple was not particularly big, it was well decorated and had a touch of the Ming Dynasty's power. It was filled with the feeling that the local government had obviously sealed this place.
"It's normal not to be on the main seat. This temple doesn't seem to be dedicated to Emperor Zhenwu. There are many temples that enshrine Zhenwu in side halls, or as companions to the god of the main temple. After all, Emperor Zhenwu was very popular in the Ming Dynasty. of exuberance.”
"Is this the temple of the White Lotus Sect?"
"It doesn't look like that."
Ji Xiang looked at the layout of the temple. This was a folk temple, not one set up by the White Lotus Sect. It was also easy to identify the White Lotus Sect’s temples. See if there were any unfamiliar gods, or foxes enshrined. The monsters in the mountains can be seen at a glance.
Just like the Eastern Mahayana Temple, Ji Xiang felt something was wrong when he saw them putting the fox in the temple.
But at that time, Dongdacheng Temple claimed that it had official procedures and was a formal unit. In fact, it was true. The county officials in the official government became your people, but they were just procedures for your family.
Ji Xiang looked at the statue of the temple owner. The temple owner was a goddess, but he had never seen it before, but she was wearing armor...
Mulan’s temple?
There were only a few named female generals in ancient times, but there was no temple gate in sight, and Ji Xiang didn't know who they were.
There are many people who spontaneously build temples to worship some ancient people, and some are even just people who follow the tradition.
The souls of these people may not really become gods. The person who gave birth to divinity, or mastered divinity, is often another person, or the god has received the incense for many years and gave birth to spirituality on his own, thus transforming into a god with the help of a statue. Became a living local god.
But again, he cannot belong to the Thirty-six Heavenly Gods.
In short, there seemed to be nothing wrong with this temple, and the incense was very regular. Ji Xiang felt at ease and began to practice to repair his body and spirit. However, some pilgrims outside also had some doubts about the Zhenwu statue.
They felt like something was wrong with the statue, but they couldn't explain it clearly.
It seems that the beard is a little shorter than the last time I looked at it?
Most people thought it was an illusion and just thought that the statue of Zhenwu had become more effective. So under such publicity, when Ji Xiang felt the power of the strong incense coming from him, he saw that many people did not go to worship it. Worship the temple master and come to worship yourself.
In front of the statue of the temple owner, there are scattered incense and it is deserted.
As for the temple blessings, they didn't seem to care. Instead, they saw the bustle of people here in Zhenwu and immediately began to vigorously promote it to attract more pilgrims to come and donate merit money.
They even slightly increased the price of incense.
This made Ji Xiang dumbfounded.
"I am possessed by the statue. Mortals can't see the problem. They just feel that the statue is stained with incense and has become spiritual after receiving offerings. So it feels efficacious and will come here to worship. But I robbed the incense from the temple owner. This is not a good thing."
"This is me stealing someone else's incense. If there is a feud and the impact is not good, I, the great Taoist master, will not do such things."
Ji Xiang immediately stopped practicing, and the spiritual power of the Zhenwu statue gradually faded away. Then the pilgrims who came from behind realized that the Zhenwu statue did not have the magical feeling that the previous pilgrims had advertised.
But they didn't shout for refund.
After all, we have come to the temple, so it is good to pay our respects. What if it works?
Ji Xiang felt familiar in his heart.
Sitting on the altar, being worshiped by all people, the sacred tablets in the Great Puli Earth were like this back then. They accepted the wishes and incense offerings from the lower world, and countless prayers rose into the blue sky, no matter it was a good deed. If you do something wrong, the gods will always hear it.
Thinking together, Ji Xiang almost alarmed the evil spirits in the temple. He immediately calmed down and saw a red puppy appearing under the statue of the temple owner.
Ji Xiang recognizes this kind of puppy spirit.
"Lianggui, the essence of the house, calling its name can improve people's eyesight."
This is a kind-hearted god.
The little red dog waggled its tail, turned twice in front of the statue of the temple owner, and then looked at the statue of Zhenwu. It seemed that it heard Ji Xiang calling it, but it couldn't find Ji Xiang's presence, so it disappeared.
The temple director also saw the puppy, but just as he was about to drive it away, the puppy disappeared. The temple director was confused and stopped caring about its problem.
Soon it was night and the temple no longer received visitors, but the door was still open.
Miao Zhu didn't seem to want to lock the door, which Ji Xiang found strange.
You don’t even take the sesame oil money home, are you afraid it will be stolen?
There seemed to be a new servant in this temple. Seeing that the temple door was open, he kindly reminded him, but the temple blessing smiled:
"No need to close the door, the temple owner hasn't come back yet! When she comes back, the temple door will close by itself!"
"By the way, you newcomers, don't come here to steal money in the middle of the night. If you get killed then, don't blame me for not warning you!"
Temple Zhu reminded the new servants and told them:
"The temple owner has a bad temper. She hates people saying bad things about her. A scholar once came here to humiliate her, but she shot him in the back with an arrow. After the scholar returned, he had a big sore on his back. The next day Just die."
"But she does things for people. As long as she agrees, she will definitely do it and keep her promise. Even if she is a woman, that is true."
Several servants looked at each other: "Miao Zhu, you just said bad things!"
Only then did Miao Zhu react: "Bah! I didn't tell you. Who among you heard it? Who dared to hear it? Don't ask for this month's wages!"
After saying that, he left. Several servants did not dare to stay and left the place one after another. However, some people still looked at the merit box and seemed to have a bad idea. They decided to come back later in the night.
The temple door is open.
Some watchmen on patrol also came here, came in to burn incense, put money into the merit box themselves, and then left.
Around the second watch, a young girl stood at the door and shouted to the main hall of the temple from a distance:
"Who is this god who comes to my temple to ask for incense?"
"My temple usually doesn't have such a strong aroma."
Ji Xiang said nothing.
Can this be criticized?
This is called borrowing.
The girl walked in step by step, looked around, stayed at the Zhenwu statue for a while, and then shook her head:
"It seems that he has left. The incense of the Zhenwu statue is so prosperous. How could Mao Shen be so bold as to borrow the incense of Master Zhenwu?"
