I have a magical tree

Although he doesn't know much about Incense Shinto, he still knows these most basic things.

The monk has made many attempts to achieve immortality, and he suspects that Incense Shinto is one of them.

Those who eat water are good at swimming and can be cold, those who eat soil are careless but wise, those who eat wood are strong and whisk, those who eat grass are good at walking but stupid, those who eat leaves are silky but moths, those who eat meat are brave and strong, and those who eat grain are wise and Yao, those who eat Qi will become gods and live long, and those who do not eat will not die but will live long.

When gods understand it, they are called gods. The last two sentences represent two paths, one is Qi refining, and the other is the incense and fire divine way.

In a sense, the gods of the Incense Shinto are indeed non-eaters. Even the Qi Refiners need to eat Qi to swallow the heaven and earth, but the Incense Gods do not!

Including the female mountain god in front of me just now, eating incense does not actually count as eating. It is just a form of replenishing the incense. In fact, you don't need to eat it at all. You can directly absorb it into yourself to achieve the same effect.

The gods of the Incense Shinto cast their golden bodies with the thought of incense. The incense burns endlessly, but the divine body is immortal and the thought continues, so it will never decay.

The so-called never forget, there must be repercussions!

This is a very strange way of practice. If the incense and believers can be guaranteed to be endless, then the deity can exist for a thousand years, ten thousand years, or even endless years. In a sense, it can be regarded as immortality.

But the immortality obtained in this way is naturally not perfect. The human heart is complicated. If you peel off the skin and flesh, you only have 206 bones, but if you put on the skin, you will have 48,000 features in the world!

Even believers cannot escape this stereotype. They are still human beings, and as human beings they have selfish motives. If they have selfish motives, they will betray them, even when facing gods.

When there are many believers, thoughts become mixed, and when desires become abundant, it is like digging for gold in the sand. Even if the gods have the means to purify the thoughts of incense, they cannot be 100% unaffected.

As a result, the immortality of the incense gods is like a castle in the air, with an unstable foundation and collapse at the first touch.

Dealing with such gods is also very simple. Cut down the mountains and destroy the temples, disperse the believers, cut off the incense, and achieve miraculous results immediately.

This is why since ancient times, most incense gods have needed to be conferred by the court. In fact, it is not that the court has the ability to confer gods, but that they need a stable and legal channel to obtain incense believers.

The female mountain god in front of me is a fish that slipped through the net. She belongs to an orthodox god of incense and fire that is not authorized by the imperial court.

"I can't remember clearly. Many things are specious. I only vaguely remember that I stayed on that mountain for a long, long time, and later found a white deer to accompany me... There used to be a mountain temple here, too. It was big, but there was no shortage of incense, but then one day, it suddenly disappeared, and the mountain temple was destroyed. From then on, I couldn't eat enough and had no choice but to sleep. Later, Bailu also starved to death, so I'm the only one left. If you hadn't come here today, I would have died in my sleep!"

The female mountain god spoke very slowly, taking a long time to think about every word she said, but even so, it was still a very rough story, with no specific time or detailed details.

The most talked about thing is about the white deer. Unfortunately, the white deer is no longer there.

"Then do you still remember the temple blessings here?"

The female mountain god shook her head, "I have no impression!"

"He said you showed up to save him!"

The female mountain god tilted her head, "Maybe, my memory is not very good! But I know him, he offered incense to me, even though I can't use the incense!"

"Then after you have replenished it, can you use the incense?"

"No, the incense you gave me is too little. It's not even enough to fill my stomach, let alone repair the golden body. If the golden body is incomplete, it can't be used!"

She remembers this clearly, and imagines it as well. These things are related to her survival. If she doesn't remember, she will be in big trouble. That's why she suddenly wakes up from her deep sleep and forgets most things except herself. Incense is still needed, and the golden body needs to be repaired.

Xu Dao was helpless, "But I don't have any more, or in fact, I don't know where the incense on my body comes from! By the way, what is your name? Or how should I call you?"

"I...I..."

Well, Xu Dao knew it at a glance and forgot about it!

"What are you going to do in the future? Will you continue to go back to sleep?" Xu Dao asked again.

"Can I follow you?" The female mountain god responded quickly this time.

Xu said: "..."

Shouldn't he ask? But it seems that the result will be the same regardless of whether you ask. People are coming for you and they cannot give up easily. The reason is that Xu Dao can provide pure incense.

"How are you going to follow me? I don't know much about gods!" Xu Dao wondered if he still had to find a place for her to stay? He can't let this person float around him like a ghost all the time, right?

"I know this! Come with me!" The female mountain god turned around and walked out of the house.

Just as Xu Dao was about to speak, his vision blurred, and he was shocked to realize that he had arrived outside the mountain temple in the blink of an eye.

Is this a divine method?

Even a mountain god with a broken body and a broken golden body actually has such magical powers?

However, when he looked at the female mountain god, he saw the female mountain god standing aside in great distress.

"What's wrong, why don't you continue?"

"I'm hungry! I can't get through with you! It's too far!"

Xu Dao sighed, "Just tell me which direction it is, and I'll go by myself!"

"It's on that mountain!" The female mountain god raised her hand and pointed.

The next moment Xu Dao used her magical power and disappeared on the spot. The female mountain god looked at this scene, but was stunned for a long time, and then she reacted, and disappeared on the spot with a flash of golden light.

At the top of the mountain, Xu Dao waited for a moment, and the female mountain god also appeared beside him.

"What should I do next?" Xu Dao looked around, and was surprised that there was no monster on this mountain.

"It's not far, you follow me!" The female mountain god led the way in front, took Xu Dao through the layers of shade, and stopped in front of a natural stone cave.

"This is it, this is where I live!"

Xu Dao sensed it, and did not sense any danger, so he followed the female mountain god into the cave.

Crossing the cave, there is a different world, he seemed to have stepped from one world into another, a unique sense of freshness, and the cave was not that dark and cramped.

This is a cave house, although it is only built of stone, but the specifications are strict and unique.

"Did you build this cave yourself?"

"That... probably not!" The female mountain god shook her head. "But I have always lived here!"
