Taoist master wants to ascend

Chapter 394 Incense and the Magical Use of the Black Whale

‘Did Daoist Master Long also learn the true method of worshipping gods? ’

Looking at the mist floating in the air, Li Yuan couldn’t help but wonder. When he asked before, he was just brushed off. Obviously, this person saw something.

But he was no longer surprised.

The small temple is connected to three rooms. The main hall enshrines the tablets and incense burners of the ancestors of the Dragon Gate in the past. The two rooms on the left and right are the residences of Long Xixiang, where the ancient elephant spirit dragon pestle and the blue dragon cassock are placed respectively.

Li Yuan knew the layout of the small temple very well, but he had never entered the two rooms on weekdays. Now that Daoist Master Long had promised, he looked around.

And on the bookshelf in the left room, he saw a yellowed booklet with four small characters on it:

"A Brief Biography of Incense and Fire."

Li Yuan reached out and picked it up, and glanced at it. In addition to this book, there were more than ten books on the bookshelf, some new and some old. They were not martial arts secrets, but various miscellaneous books.

A Brief Biography of Incense and Fire, Biography of Yuan Qing, Biography of King Zhenwu, and Notes of the Ancestors, etc.

Li Yuan did not go out either, and picked up the Brief Biography of Incense and opened it on the spot.

"The root of man, the three treasures, spirit, energy and spirit."

"Incense and fire, that is, the power of God, originate from the human heart. It can be transformed into incense and fire with the guidance of special rituals and methods. It can be used to refine elixirs and cast weapons, and it is also an indispensable item for various rituals."

"Burning incense and gathering fire can carry the immortality of God."

Li Yuan was attracted by the first few sentences. The ancient book was obviously quite old, and the words on it clearly had the style of the previous dynasty.

"An ancient book from at least a thousand years ago, and the tone seems to be related to the worship of gods?"

Li Yuan thought about it, and with the blessing of photographic memory, he memorized it word by word.

After the opening, the book mentioned the method of collecting incense that he was very concerned about. As expected, it was the worship of gods.

"Incense, spiritual power, can only be led by 'gods'. Only when you practice the worship of gods and enter the room and touch the Tao, you can gather incense."

Enter the room?

Li Yuan pondered.

Although he only had the introductory chapter of the worship of gods, he had not missed a day of visualization in these years, and his accumulation was actually very deep. In addition, the nourishment of the spirit by the black whale's aura obviously met the conditions.

"Strong emotions are more likely to give birth to incense."

In the book, Li Yuan saw the part that confirmed his guess. Obviously, the Dragon and Tiger Temple had mastered the secret of incense many years ago.

He was not surprised, after all, incense was still floating in the main hall.

Afterwards, the book mentioned that the relationship between the statues, tablets and incense is not complicated. In essence, it is an introduction.

Leaving your own spirit as a support, you can absorb incense within a certain range.

"The fastest way to collect incense is to build a temple..."

Li Yuan was not surprised and continued to flip through it.

The book mentioned "gods", and as he knew before, the gods on the Dayun God List were divided into three levels: Dharma masters, boys, and masters.

"Nine Dharma masters, thirty-four boys, and eight hundred masters."

Li Yuan wrote down this number, but he couldn't help but think of the Motian Nine-Headed God he had seen before. There are as many as eight hundred evil gods of this level.

"No, this book is quite old. In the past thousand years, various forces have hunted many, and there must not be so many now."

There was a book called "Two or Three Things About Gods" on the bookshelf. Li Yuan took a look and continued to flip through it.

Afterwards, the booklet recorded information about the nine Dharma masters, of which the most mentioned was the Hundred-armed Taoist, and the least mentioned was the Thousand-eyed Bodhisattva.

"Thousand-eyed Bodhisattva, one of the nine Dharma masters, is suspected to be the oldest god, perhaps from the sky. It is said that there was a similar legend in the year of its birth..."

Li Yuan subconsciously raised his head and saw only the roof.

"Well, it matches what Emperor Gan said. Did this Thousand Spirit Dharma Master, or Thousand-eyed Bodhisattva, also fall from the sky?"

After a moment, Li Yuan closed the booklet and put it back in place. After a little thought, he did not touch the other books on the bookshelf.

If this sense of distance cannot be grasped, how can I coax the old man?

"There are three grades of incense."

Li Yuan returned to the main hall and lit incense for the ancestors one by one, still thinking about the content of the incense biography.

Dharma master, boy, master

This ancient book divides incense into three levels, and each level has upper and lower levels. According to the description, Li Yuan feels that this is similar to his classification.

It's just that there is no such thing as not being able to enter the level.

"A devout believer can get a wisp of lower-level master in a year. Ahem, first-level incense can only get a wisp of second-level incense in three to five years..."

Li Yuan found that incense is more precious than he thought.

What is a devout believer?

Three bows in the morning and evening, one incense burner in the morning and evening, serving a god with sincerity, chanting its name and scriptures day and night, there are actually very few such believers, and most people only worship occasionally.

Such believers may not get a wisp of first-level incense in a year.

"According to this calculation, a devout believer will need at least 129,600 years to get a wisp of seventh-level incense..."

The numbers in the ancient book are both zero and whole, and Li Yuan is a little shocked, but after a change of mind, he finds that this number is actually not very large.

After all, no god has more than one believer.

If we find 130,000 devout believers, we can gather one strand in a year. If we find 1.3 million believers, it will take about a month. If we find 13 million believers…

“130,000 devout believers, I’m afraid only the nine Dharma Masters have them? Or maybe they don’t have them?”

Li Yuan thought about it.

There are tens of millions of households in Hengshan City, but those who intend to worship gods may not have millions of people, and the number of devout believers may not be tens of thousands, let alone hundreds of gods.

After doing the calculation, he felt that this was a huge number.

"It's not too much. If this Dharma Master-level incense is so precious, it would be a waste to use it to save a Chu Xuankong... Or are you prepared for something else?"

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and sensed the Thousand Spirits Savior Monument. Before, he only knew that this incense was precious, but now that he had a reference, he found that he had underestimated it.

With so much incense, I’m afraid Qianling Dharma Master will feel physical pain, right?

At this thought, Li Yuan's heart trembled:

"This monument must not be taken out!"

boom!

Suddenly, Li Yuan heard an indistinct loud noise, similar to a beast's roar, a dragon's roar, or a thunderous explosion.

"This is?"

Li Yuan was startled, quickly walked out of the house, turned over and was on the roof.

It was already dark at the moment, but he saw at a glance the place where the loud noise came from. A fire dragon with a dazzling red light suddenly rose into the sky somewhere in the Hengshan City.

Like a divine sword, piercing into the depths of the night:

"roar!"

As the roar of the dragon reverberated, large swaths of lights in Hengshan City were lit up, and multiple sounds of breaking through the air were heard in the Longhu Temple at the same time. There were figures flashing across the hills and rooftops.

"This is the flame dragon phase!"

"Red Flame Dragon King! One of the four great guardian Dharma kings of the Evil God Sect, he is actually in Hengshan City?!"

"No, go and inform the Lord!"

In the mountains, all kinds of exclamations exploded. The fire dragon rising into the sky was so dazzling in the night. The scattered firelight could be seen dozens of miles away.

"King of Scarlet Flame?!"

On the roof, Li Yuan was startled, and instantly thought of Long Xixiang who had just come down the mountain:

"There is such a big fish?!"

Li Yuan was a little surprised. He discovered that he had the potential to be a fisherman, and he could always find such a big fish that could eat people.

"Dragon Xixiang!"

In the night, several miles away, Li Yuan heard a roar, and his voice was filled with shock and disbelief:

"You, you actually..."

Boom!

The frightened and angry voice disappeared completely after an instant.

Li Yuan looked up and saw a familiar blue dragon soaring in the night. It was one of the 'Wind Tiger, Cloud and Dragon Appearance' of Master Long.

"Dragon Master also went down the mountain with you?"

The cloud dragon danced across the sky, and the hundred-foot-long fire dragon was crushed by one claw, turning into a large fire and dissipating in the air. Immediately, the cloud dragon's long roar resounded through the night, waking up the entire Hengshan City.

Completely drowning and covering the roar of the Scarlet Flame Dharma King.

"The rivers and lakes are too deep."

Li Yuan wiped away the cold sweat and felt a little happy.

If he hadn't always been prudent and would attack people from the Evil God Sect when he saw them, he might have suffered a big loss if he wasn't careful.

The Red Flame Dragon King is no ordinary master...

"This old guy hides too deeply."

Li Yuan's teeth were a little sore.

In the past two years, Longhu Temple has eliminated evil cultists at least three times, and twice of them, the Dragon Dao Master was paying attention. How dare this Red Flame Dragon King lurk, or even avoid it?

this……

"call!"

After a brief shock, the night returned to calm, except for the lights in the Longhu Mountains.

Li Yuan turned around and saw an old man with an unattractive appearance stepping forward and landing on the eaves.

"Uncle Cang."

Li Yuan hurriedly held his hands in greeting.

This old man is none other than Cang Xianzhi, the deputy sect leader of Humen.

"That's just a wisp of true energy. That old thief doesn't have the guts to come in person."

Cang Xianzhi looked into the distance into the night, his face sinking like water.

"Come with me."

Before Li Yuan could reply, he was already being held down by his shoulders. The next moment, the wind howled and the scenery on both sides passed by at high speed, and he was already being dragged towards Hengshan City.

The true energy is like a cover, intersecting with heaven and earth.

Li Yuan was filled with envy.

When it comes to the speed of Qinggong, he is still faster than Master Cang when he exerts all his strength, but this kind of outward release of his true power still makes him a little jealous.

"call!"

After several ups and downs, the two of them landed in Hengshan City.

Li Yuan glanced around and saw the old man he had seen in the evening. At this moment, he was slumped in the courtyard of the house, his legs trembling, as if he had seen a ghost.

"This old thief is so brave!"

This was the first time Li Yuan saw Master Long looking like this. His long eyebrows were twitching, his face was as dark as water, and he was full of murderous intent.

"Deserves to be killed!"

Long Xixiang's voice was low.

Even if there was just a ray of murderous intent from the two great masters, Li Yuan felt frightened. Yu Banzhou, who was slumped on the ground, was almost stunned by fright.

He never dreamed that when he woke up at night, he would encounter these two giants. The Grand Master would take action, which almost scared his liver and gallbladder to pieces.

"Dragon Master, spare your life!"

Suddenly, as if he noticed the gazes of several people, Yu Banzhou suddenly came back to his senses and fell to the ground with a 'pop'. His legs and feet were shaking and he couldn't even kneel down:

"He forced me to come to Hengshan City to lurk..."

"Who are you?"

Long Xixiang glanced at him coldly.

"Yu, Yu Banzhou, deputy hall master of Youzhou branch, hall master Lin Chonghu..."

"Lin Chonghu?"

"Previously, a few days ago, I was arrested by Dragon Dao Master along with Fang Chao, the protector..."

"When did you sneak into Hengshan City?"

During Long Xixiang's interrogation, several people in the courtyard were a little surprised. Few people in the Evil God Cult were so weak-minded. Previously, Fang Chaotong and Lin Chonghu both refused to cooperate even if they were beaten to death.

"This time, this time it's only been more than ten days."

Yu Banzhou felt weak all over.

"Oh? This time?"

Long Yingchan frowned slightly.

"Hui, Huilong Taoist Master, three times before and after, that old guy forced me to come..."

Yu Banzhou was very cooperative and told everything he knew.

"Then the old thief lurked several times, what is his intention?"

Long Xixiang asked.

"In order to find the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer..."

"..."

Li Yuan was shocked. Was this coming after him again?

Yu Banzhou gasped for breath: "...and, and Qin Shixian, the master of Star Building!"

"Master Qin?"

"Zhaixingxinglou master?"

A ray of sword light came through the air, and immediately converged. Nie Xianshan landed in the courtyard, his brows furrowed:

"This old thief thinks that the owner of Star Reaching Tower is hiding in Longhu Temple?"

"……yes."

Being scrutinized by the four giants, Yu Banzhou felt his voice tremble a little, and he answered tremblingly:

"He, there is a secret message in his sermon, saying that the deputy leader has figured out that the Sea Splitting Black Whale Hammer and Star Reaching Tower masters are all here, and they are all in Longhu Temple!"

Star-catching poster?

Li Yuan frowned and instantly thought of the bronze tower master. After thinking about it for a moment, he was shocked.

Born in Zhaixing Tower, recognized Wang Wenyuan, and was injured by the Demon-Suppressing Dragon Divine Sword...

‘It’s all right! ’

Li Yuan pinched his fingers. Where could the Evil God Cult's Star-Zhaing Building Master and such a deliberately hidden great master be found?

"Are there any of your people still in the city?"

"have!"

Yu Banzhou struggled to answer, mentioning the names and characteristics of more than ten people.

Long Yingchan glanced at Nie Xianshan, who frowned and turned to leave.

"Go back to the mountain for another trial, and bring Lin Chonghu and Fang Chaotong over too!"

Long Yingchan grabbed the remaining half of the boat, but it disappeared into the night without any movement, followed by Cang Xianzhi.

Long Xixiang stretched out his hand to grab Li Yuan's shoulder, and tapped his foot lightly, streaking across the night sky like a rainbow.

"The Grand Master's speed is much faster."

Li Yuan didn't hear the sound of the explosion, but the speed was far faster than his current speed. He was stunned for a moment, and when he regained consciousness, he had already arrived at the small temple.

"Master..."

He wanted to ask something else, but Long Xixiang just waved his hand and disappeared. The appearance of the Red Flame Dragon King made the killing intent boil in his heart and he couldn't suppress it.

"Star-Zhaining Building Master, Black Whale Hammer..."

Li Yuan closed the temple door silently and frowned. Just thinking that there might be people from the Evil God Cult secretly watching made him feel a little upset.

"The master of the Bronze Tower should be the master of the Star Building. Unfortunately, he has not been seen since he drew his sword..."

After a while, Li Yuan calmed down before returning to the house. He glanced at the sleeping cats and mice. He was also a little tired, so he put on his clothes and lay down.

Buzz~

In the palm space, there is a faint red light.

After the Black Whale Hammer recognized its owner, he could theoretically use it outside.

only……

"You have to think of a way to cover it up. If you take it out and cause a big fuss, you're asking for trouble."
