Urban Witcher

Afterwards, these people present took turns to put ingots and paper money into the incense burner to keep the flame strong. Then, under the leadership of the pair of hall masters, they began to chant some kind of spell. The sound training, the sound is not consistent, buzzing, but the scene is still very shocking.

Ye Shaoyang and the two of them acted indiscriminately, followed by opening their mouths indiscriminately.

After reading for a while, Xie Yuqing turned Ye Shaoyang with her arm, and said: "When these ingot candles are burned, this ceremony will be over, and the people will leave at that time, what are you going to do?"

Ye Shaoyang raised his head slightly, looked towards the direction of the roof, he didn't even babble, his expression was dignified.

Xie Yuqing followed his gaze, only saw a large cloud of smoke coming out of the incense burner, the smoky atmosphere, nothing out of the ordinary happened.

"What's going on?" Xie Yuqing asked.

Ye Shaoyang said: "Look at the smoke, did you find anything?"

"What?" Xie Yuqing was puzzled, and looked over again, and found that the smoke from the incense burner did not dissipate immediately, but condensed in the air, hovering slowly, and did not dissipate.

Xie Yuqing also noticed this, she was very curious, and asked in a low voice: "Are you looking at the smoke? Is it because there is no wind that it doesn't disperse?"

Ye Shaoyang shook his head slowly, and said, "Just because you can't feel the wind, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Look carefully at the smoke..."

Ye Shaoyang turned his head to look, and the people on the left and right were all hanging their heads, reciting the scriptures silently, completely intoxicated by this emotion, no one noticed the two of them at all, so he took out a grapefruit leaf and peeped it from Xie Yuqing's eyes. After wiping it, Xie Yuqing understood, looked at the smoke above her head, and almost covered her mouth in surprise——

Under the yin and yang eyes temporarily opened by the pomelo leaf, Xie Yuqing saw the golden light with dots of sparks in the smoke, hovering gracefully in the air, and then merged into the statue of Grandma Ling. All around, the red light is shining, and the world is moving. At a glance, there is a very peaceful feeling.

Looking further down, these golden rays of light all come from the incense of ingot candles burning in the incense burner.

"Is this...spiritual power?" After being with Ye Shaoyang for a long time, Xie Yuqing also understood some magic terms.

Ye Shaoyang slowly shook his head, his eyes flicked over the heads of these believers present, and he murmured: "This is probably power of will."

"What strength?" Xie Yuqing didn't understand.

But Ye Shaoyang didn't explain any more, because she couldn't explain a sentence or two clearly.

The power of will is the oldest kind of power. To put it bluntly, it is the power of faith. It has been discovered and used since ancient times: when believers face a god statue (or god card) to offer sacrifices, they will generate the power of this belief from the incense of the sacrifice, attach to the god statue, and accumulate more and more power as the vows accumulate. As more and more people come and go, the idol will become more and more "live", and finally become a god.

But this kind of deity is limited to exist on this statue, and has nothing to do with the deity of the deity, that is to say, becoming a god is actually just this deity, not the deity behind the deity.

In fact, in the final analysis, this is also a kind of evil spirit—an evil spirit that is born out of the power of will. If the deity of this god statue is still within the Three Realms and is near the god statue, it can absorb these wish powers, transform itself, and improve its cultivation. Many ghosts and demons in the world have cultivated in this way. When he arrived at the tablet of the Yin God granted by the Yin Division, he became the boss of one party in the world.

The 12-year-old Cicada and Seventh Granny that Ye Shaoyang had dealt with was such a kind of yin god.

But for more statues, the masters behind them have already been reincarnated, or the spirit has died, and the distance from the statues in the ancestral hall is far away, so there is no way to harvest the power of vows. Even if the power of wishes is strong, and it is accumulated in the statues, under normal circumstances It is also difficult to produce real gods, but a kind of unconscious energy body. If it is the wish force produced by normal sacrifices, this energy body is very pure and can suppress all ghosts and demons.

Not only those gods, but many sages and great men throughout the ages, because they received incense for a long time, will also produce very powerful energy bodies, such as the Confucius Temple, Yuewang Temple, and Guandi Temple in various places, it is basically impossible to be haunted, which is the reason . Even if there are sculptures for human beings in some urban centers and schools, no one worships them, but people come and go nearby, and the thought of admiration and respect for him deep in their hearts will give birth to thoughts, which will attach to the sculptures, and people will come and go. Where people go, as time goes on, it will also become a place where demons and ghosts evade.

All that he saw in front of him made Ye Shaoyang think about it a lot. Could it be...the so-called granny spirit is really someone, and she is near here, and she wants to become a god through this method?

This is basically impossible.

Throughout the ages, it is not impossible to become a god by being enshrined by others, but there are very few creatures who succeed. First of all, the process is very long, and it is not as real as cultivation. Moreover, it is not easy for ordinary people to believe in you and worship you. thing. If you go the other way, like Grandma Seven, first go to the local people to enshrine yourself out of awe, you may attract powerful mages to destroy them before they are enshrined by the people.

Therefore, although mages have been aware of the power of wishes since ancient times, they seldom use them. They are generally regarded as natural forces that are difficult to control. Many of them became true gods, such as Prince Yue, who first became the head of the Shenxing Department, and later became the Marshal of the Border Guards, a pivotal figure who guarded one side for the Yin Division.

Not to mention Guan Gong, whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, they all respect him as a true god and have a high status.

Confucius, the most holy teacher, has an extraordinary status in the Yin Division, and his value is beyond words...

Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the regime has been in chaos, and the magic world has also been fragmented. There is no restriction on the behavior of many mages, so many mages began to practice evil, and developed a set of evil cultivation spells. One of them is to use sacrifices to create evil gods... ...To put it bluntly, it is to transform the power of the people's sacrifices into the body of the god statue through some kind of sorcery, forming an evil thing.

In principle, as long as there are people offering sacrifices, the cultivation of this "evil god" will become stronger and stronger. These are why there are so many evil gods in Southeast Asia, but they are actually spawned by wizards through this method, and then these mages who create evil gods can use them to do many despicable things. As these evil gods received more and more enshrinements, and their cultivation became stronger, many things happened from time to time to devour their masters in order to get rid of the constraints of the mages... nt
