God's Taoism is free and easy, starting with taking in the clam girl

Chapter 82 Piety?

"Where is the source of so many incense...won't it come from this evil dragon?"

Yun Xi couldn't figure it out even if she broke her head. She is the plague god of a county, and her followers are far above Wei Wu's.

But it will take several years to collect so many incense sticks, and there must be no use or waste in the middle, let alone the tax on incense sticks.

But this is extremely pure incense income.

It is estimated that the only one in Anyuan County who can accumulate so many incense sticks is that evil dragon.

When Yunxi mentioned the evil dragon, Ao Qing also recalled it, turned to look at Wei Wu with an inexplicable expression, and asked:
"Fellow Daoist, before distributing dragon meat to the villagers, did you ever extract the blood essence and incense power from the evil dragon?"

"So to deal with the evil dragon, we need to extract blood essence and incense fire divine power?" Wei Wu was stunned. He just collected the scales and skin of the evil dragon. The flesh and blood were simply processed and distributed to all the creatures in the village.

"So that's the case, so it makes sense."

The incense in this world cannot be accepted indiscriminately. If the gods accept the incense of unknown origin, it is easy to suffer unforeseen disasters. Knowing the source of the incense, Ao Qing couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

She explained: The source of these incense and fire powers should come from the half body of the evil dragon, which was swallowed by the villagers but could not be absorbed, so it was fed back to fellow Taoists. "

"Qinchun Dragon King thinks this is normal?"

Seeing Wei Wu and Ao Qing discussing this matter seriously, Yun Xi seemed to think that this matter was normal. She suddenly felt that she had become a seventh-rank god for so many years in vain.

"Not to mention whether the villagers can absorb the divine power of the incense stick attached to the dragon, the more than 200 incense sticks alone are enough to show that this matter is not simple."

"Why isn't it easy?"

Ao Qing looked puzzled.Don't look at her as a ninth-rank Dragon King, in fact, she really doesn't know much about Shinto, and she only has a half-knowledge of many things and doesn't understand them comprehensively.

Most of the information comes from the words and deeds of my father.And her father, when he was the highest god, was only the ninth-rank dragon king, and his understanding of the divine way should not be comparable to that of the seventh-rank great god.

If it weren't for them being from the carp clan of Yunmeng Zelong, there are many talents in the clan, and there are gods everywhere, and they would know a lot of secrets through the exchange of news.

Otherwise, if you meet an ordinary wild god, your level of knowledge will be far behind her.

Seeing the three people looking at him full of doubts, Yunxi sighed slightly in his heart. He didn't know how the three of them practiced to such a level. Could it be that they all depended on saving the common people?No wonder it is said that meeting the right person is more important than hard work.

She calmed down and explained: "You Daoist Wei, there is a special word in the Shinto to describe the situation now - the transformation of incense..."

"As we all know, incense with different attributes used by different gods is poisonous, so incense between different gods cannot be used directly. If you want to absorb incense from other gods, there is another way besides the familiar spirit and soul fusion that you are familiar with. Incense transformation..."

"The so-called incense transformation is to allow believers to absorb objects containing incense from other spirits and gods, and then convert the incense to the gods through rituals or tributes."

After hearing Yunxi's words, Wei Wu not only did not turn the clouds to see the sun, but became even more puzzled.

"But I didn't feel that they were holding a ceremony..."

"That's the problem."

"Can believers directly feed back their beliefs to the gods they serve without going through rituals?" Wei Wu suddenly thought of a possibility, and asked hastily.

Yunxi's eyes gradually deepened, and her voice became more ethereal:
"The god of Shinto incense protects believers, and believers pay belief and tribute. This is a very mature mechanism. In Shinto, not only gods have grades, but believers are also graded. From the most common believers to the highest saints , a total of six grades."

"Believers must reach at least the fourth level if they want to transform their divine power without going through rituals."

"Fourth level?" Wei Wu was at a loss, this information completely touched his shortcoming.He shelters the believers to solve their problems, but in fact, he has always been too boring, treating their needs as those game tasks on Blue Star.

As for the feedback and changes that completing the task will bring to me, I don't care too much.

The so-called level of believers is even more unheard of and never thought of.

Ao Qing and Xiao He Mu also looked at each other in blank dismay. At this moment, they also discovered the lack of knowledge in themselves, and they had never heard of such content that seemed to be common sense of Shinto.

Yunxi only came across this kind of information when he was in the seventh-rank priesthood, so the reaction to Wei Wu and the others was expected.

After the three of them gradually digested the information, she slowly said: "The so-called fourth level is called a pious believer..."

"General believers, superficial believers, true believers, pious believers, fanatics, and saints are six grades of believers. The incense and divine power that believers of each grade bring to the gods are different. The higher the rank of believers , the more incense and divine power it brings to the gods."

"Similarly, the lower the gods are, the harder it is to gain the devout belief of believers..."

"Ordinary little gods are mostly general believers and superficial believers. I am a county plague god who has stepped into the seventh rank, and there are only two devout believers."

Speaking of this, she rolled her eyes at someone who was listening with gusto.

"One of them was my former priest, but now his faith in me has collapsed, and he lives in the village..."

"Pious believers are usually exclusive to middle-level or even high-level gods. For small gods like us, they are elusive existences."

"So, do you still think this is normal? Don't you think that Wei Daoyou lives in a corner, and when there are only more than 200 believers, can he still have more than 200 devout believers?"

"Or is it that every villager in the village is a devout follower of Wei Daoyou?"

After Yunxi said something, Zhuanzhu and Ao Qing also understood the difficulty of this matter, and looked at Wei Wu at the same time.

Wei Wu couldn't help falling into silence. Every scene after the villagers joined the village flashed through his mind. He witnessed and accompanied the growth of most of the villagers. The relationship between the two parties is not so much a relationship between gods and believers as relatives. .

Judging from the stories that happened between them, they are even closer than some distant relatives.

To be honest, although he has become a god to a certain extent, he doesn't like the strong title of "believers", and prefers to treat them as his family...

Therefore, the more affectionately the villagers called him, the more he usually paid attention.

However, with the increase in the number of appearances, his address in people's mouths has gradually changed from Big Brother Shi, Uncle Shi, and Grandpa Shi to the current Master Shi...

After a long time, Wei Wu woke up from the silence. Seeing that everyone was still looking at him with concern, he couldn't help shaking his head.

"As Yunxi said, pious believers are very precious, I dare not expect them to be extravagant. It's just that the matter has come to this point, and we can't explore the reasons for it, so we can only take precautions to deal with accidents..."

"Instead of guessing blindly, it's better to practice hard, am I right?"

Hearing the words, Xiao He Mu's eyes blurred immediately, and the eyes he looked at the master thickened.

"That's right, the master has added so much incense, I can't wait to try the effect of practice..."
