Chapter 148 Incense Becomes Shinto! (seeking subscription)

"Bangdang."

There was a crisp sound, which was very clear in this silent shrine.

For a moment, everyone looked towards the ruins not far away.

As early as in the phantom picture, they had seen the magnificent main hall of the shrine.

As of the death of Han Guangren and Chen Chuyan, the main hall of the shrine is still in good condition.

Then the ruins in front of him were obviously created by the god of agriculture and that evil thing.

Just looking at this vast ruin, one can perceive their astonishing destructive power.

Apparently, Saturn is stronger than he appears on the screen.

Hearing the movement in the ruins at this moment, everyone became vigilant for a while.

"Quack."

Su Mo stepped on the remaining gravel on the ground and walked forward.

Song Ruyuan and others also followed closely.

On the contrary, the many strange monsters under the high platform seemed to be still immersed in the ceremony and never moved for it.

Soon, a group of people came to the ruins.

Looking at the ruined walls and wooden beams and rubble in front of them, everyone's nerves were tense.

Su Mo waved violently in the direction of the voice.

A thick broken wooden beam snapped open, revealing a squeaking gray mouse below.

"After a long time, it turned out to be a mouse. Give me a fright."

Zhuo Ningning patted his chest and said with lingering fear on his face.

Yao Wenkai next to her glanced at her and asked aloud:

"Do you think mice can survive in this environment?"

Zhuo Ningning was taken aback suddenly.

It is quite normal to have rats in the ruins.

But before they held the ceremony, this place was permeated with the sinister mist all the year round.

In this case, do ordinary mice still exist?
Zhuo Ningning's scalp exploded.

At the same time, the flying mouse opened its mouth.

Its mouth suddenly protruded outwards, turning into a huge mouth the size of a washbasin, filled with countless sharp teeth, and it rushed towards everyone.

"Pfft!"

It was as if someone reached out and grabbed the mouse.

It hangs in mid-air, unable to move at all.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but gather together to observe carefully.

Only then did they see that the limbs of the mouse were very similar to those of humans.

It looks like shrunken and wrinkled hands and feet.

There are several rotten wounds under the body, and the empty inside can even be seen through the wounds.

Apparently it was long dead.

"If nothing else happens, this should be an experimental product of the Liu family.

Just, how did it appear in this place? "

Chen Shuo looked puzzled.

Song Ruyuan thought for a while and replied:
"This should be the sacrifice prepared by the Liu family at this festival.

It's a pity that the catastrophe broke out before it could be dedicated to the god of agriculture.

Afterwards, the rat probably slipped into the shrine in the midst of the chaos, and stayed here after his death until today. "

"That's about it."

Su Mo crushed it on the spot with his spiritual hands.

"It seems that it has eaten a lot of corpses here, otherwise it would not have grown to such a degree."

Su Mo frowned slightly as he looked at the black air after the corpse had dissipated.

He always felt that the breath of this mouse was faintly familiar.

It seems to have seen it somewhere.

I just think about it carefully but I can't remember it for the time being.

"Forget it, it shouldn't be too important."

Su Mo comforted himself, and turned to look at the ruins ahead.

As far as the eye can see, the whole ruins are close to the size of a football field, covered with countless building debris.

If you need a muck truck to clean it up, it will take at least two or three days, and dozens of trucks will be transported.

but now--

"Get up!"

Su Mo stretched out his right hand and lifted it up abruptly.

In the next second, under the stunned gaze of Xue Lansu and others, countless building wreckages seemed to have lost gravity, floating into the air one after another.

In an instant, pure spiritual power swept through all the wreckage of the building.

Make sure there is nothing critical.

The garbage was merged into a ball by Su Mo, turned into a huge garbage ball, and thrown aside.

Looking at the garbage ball that was 20 meters high, the corners of Chen Shuo's mouth twitched slightly, and he said to Su Mo:
"Can we throw this ball farther away? It always looks like it's going to collapse at any moment."

Su Mo thought about it and found it reasonable.

Immediately lifted up the entire giant ball and threw it towards the distance.

Along with an arc disappearing into the air, there was a faint tremor on the ground.

When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help but look at each other.

I hope there is no unlucky person living there.

When they came back to their senses, the group all looked at the only wreckage left in the open space.

It was a humanoid statue.

He was wearing a blue scholar's robe, with a high bun on his head.

But the face is very rough, the body is powerful, and the muscles are extremely strong.

It felt like a samurai who forced himself to play a scribe.

And his location, according to the layout of the entire shrine hall, should be in the main hall of the main hall.

He should be a statue enshrined in the ancestral hall.

Could it be that this is the true face of the god of agriculture?

"The whole shrine has been completely smashed, but this statue looks intact.

Perhaps the god of agriculture has a lot to do with this statue.

Just like the saying in the classics that incense becomes a god. "

Hearing Xue Lansu's speech, everyone also thought a little bit.

As early as in ancient times, there was a method of becoming a god with incense.

The spiritual things in the world, no matter the ghost or the spirit of vegetation, can use the power of incense and fire to cast a golden body of desire and upgrade to the god position.

This is a cultivation system that is very different from that of a magician, and it is also a cultivation path that many predecessors have gone through.

It is rumored that after this system has been cultivated to the extreme, it is not weaker than the high-level existence of the magician system.

But in comparison, the way of incense is more difficult to practice.

The first is to gather incense, which is formed by the faith of the world.

The world's human nature is fickle, and incense is easy to get and easy to lose.

Generally, if you give favors to believers, you can get incense.

But human nature is often very greedy, and the further you go, the more demanding you become.

If it is not satisfied, it will even cause resentment from kindness.

There are not many similar incidents in the past.

In addition, the more advanced you are, the more incense you need.

This leads to the need to spread beliefs, and contests over beliefs often lead to new disputes.

And even trigger a war of gods.

In the past, there were not a few little gods who died under the battle of gods, or were even swallowed.

From this point of view, burning incense to become a god is more cruel than the magician system.

The last and most critical point is that incense is toxic.

Incense is born because of people's beliefs, and it will naturally be infected with various worldly desires.

This kind of desire is the most terrifying poison in the world for the gods who pursue purity and detachment.

If it is not eluted and refined, it will definitely suffer a very serious backlash when it is promoted, or even fall directly on the spot.

The further back, the higher the level, the more serious the poison of incense.

This is the catastrophe that accompanies the gods for life.

It is also the price you must pay for choosing this path.

At this moment, looking at the portrait of the green-robed warrior in front of him.

Su Mo always felt that the other party gave him a very familiar feeling.

It was derived from the familiarity of temperament, maybe he had seen his kind somewhere.

"The god of incense? No, no, there are no traces of incense gathered on this man's body."

At this moment, Song Ruyuan and others also discovered this.

In the way of incense becoming a god, idols are extremely crucial instruments.

Especially in this kind of most important shrine in the whole village, if this statue is left by a deity who has become a god with incense, it will definitely have an unimaginable miraculousness.

Under normal circumstances, the statues of the gods are contaminated with the incense offered by believers all the year round, and over time they can be imbued with spirituality and become spiritual objects.

In the future, it can even become the secular body of a god.

With the help of idols, gods can physically walk on the earth.

Therefore, the idol is an extremely important instrument for the gods.

Especially the statues in the main hall of the shrine must be closely protected to prevent them from being damaged by Xiaoxiao.

But the statue in front of him shows no signs of careful protection at all.

He looks lifelike, but has many scratches on his body, and there are even smoke and fire marks near his feet.

Everyone can fully imagine that a custodian was negligent for a moment, and the falling incense candle burned the statue.

Maybe the keeper of the shrine was punished afterwards, but the statue has not been restored, which can already explain everyone's attitude towards him.

"It seems that this statue is not a statue of the god of agriculture.

So the question is, since this is not a statue of the God of Saturn, why is it enshrined in the shrine of the God of Saturn? "

Yao Wenkai asked out the doubts in the hearts of many people on the field.

Song Ruyuan thought for a while, and said:
"Is there a possibility that the god of agriculture didn't walk the way of becoming a god through incense?
Judging from the information we collected earlier, the actions of the God of Saturn are indeed very similar to the way of incense and fire.

For example, to give blessings to the three major families, or to ask the Liu family to prepare a divinely descended body.

But don't forget that in the past 150 years, the God of Saturn has not expanded his blessing objects.

Theoretically speaking, to collect beliefs, the entire village must have much more supplies than the three major families.

But he limited his target to the three major families.

Even if offering sacrificial wine during the ceremony, it is far from collecting incense.

What he did gave me the feeling that he was bound to the three major families.

This is not what normal gods should do at all. "

"Maybe he's screening fanatics?"

Chen Shuo put forward his own views.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Song Ruyuan nodded slightly, and then said:
"But even if they are fanatics, among the three major families, only the Liu family can barely meet the requirements.

The behavior of the Chen family and the Han family cannot actually be classified as fanatics.

If the god of agriculture has practiced incense and become a god, he can clearly feel the level of belief of the believers, and he will definitely know this.

But he was attacked by Chen Chuyan during the ceremony, which is somewhat unclear. "

When everyone heard this, they also noticed the problem.

Xue Lansu said in a condensed voice:
"Maybe the God of Agriculture did not practice incense to become a god, but he must have collected incense, at least from the three major families, otherwise there would be no theory of blessing.

So here comes the question, a god who doesn't want to practice Shinto, then what is he collecting incense for? "

"I'm afraid we have to start with the statue in front of us."

As Su Mo said, he looked at the statue of the green-robed warrior not far away.

As early as when everyone was discussing, he had already carefully checked the condition of the statue, and found some clues.

And now, it's almost time to verify the clues.

Su Mo didn't have any nonsense.

He pointed like a knife, and the crimson blood condensed on it, and even the temperature of the air rose rapidly in an instant, and the surrounding was filled with a sense of dryness and heat.

Immediately afterwards, under everyone's gaze, Su Mo pointed to the belly of the statue.

"噗嗤" sounded lightly, as if the red-hot iron tongs were submerged in ice and snow.

This god statue, which was still intact in the great war hundreds of years ago, directly manifested a wound on its belly.

The moment the wound appeared, a terrifying black airflow rushed out of it.

At first glance, it looks like the tide breaking through the dam, turbulent and irresistible.

However, when Su Mo withdrew his hand, the wound on the stomach quickly began to heal, and soon returned to its original state.

Only the entire statue has faded a little, and it looks like porcelain that is about to break.

Although during this process, everyone did not hear any words, and did not do more actions.

But the scene they saw before them was enough for them to know what happened.

At this time, the leaking black air flow seemed to have found a gathering point, and they all gathered together.

Immediately afterwards, it condensed into an illusory old man figure.

The kind-hearted old man with white beard and hair looked at everyone on the field and said with a smile:

"I can sense the ceremony you held, so you must all be descendants of the Chen family village, right?
Today, you are able to come here to hold the festival again, which is considered intentional.

Now the entire Chenjia Village has been destroyed due to the invasion of external evils. As the god worshiped by Chenjia Village, I feel very sad about this.

It just so happens that you descendants are here now, with my blessing, maybe you can rebuild the Chen Family Village and repeat the glory and prosperity of previous years! "

Listening to Saturn's persuasive words, everyone seemed to feel his eagerness.

Su Mo sighed, and asked:
"Dare to ask the God of Agriculture, where did the evil that invaded Chen's Village that day go?"

"Of course I suppressed it."

The God of Agriculture stroked his beard and said with some complacency:
"The evil spirit was unexpectedly strong, thanks to being in Chenjia Village, with me, a local god, making the move.

If it were placed elsewhere, the entire city might be devastated. "

Chen Shuo listened, and couldn't help but groan:
"But even if there is a god like you stationed in Chen Family Village, there will still be heavy casualties. Doesn't this mean that it makes no difference whether there are gods or not?"

"That's a bad word."

The god of agriculture restrained his face and said in a solemn voice:
"It's because I, the god, is in the Chen family village, that's why we can eliminate the evil spirits and stop him from going out to harm people.

If it was changed to another city without gods guarding it, the evil would only become stronger and more harmful after devouring the people.

Although I failed to save the villagers of Chenjia Village, it seems quite dereliction of duty.

But I saved more people outside of Chenjia Village, isn't that a credit? "

"I have already understood what you said. It is not impossible for us to enshrine you, but before that, there is a question that needs to be answered through you."

Su Mo said in a low voice.

After hearing this, the God of Agriculture smiled slightly and said:
"But it doesn't matter."

Su Mo looked at the god of agriculture, and asked in a concentrated voice:
"Who sealed you here?"
