Chapter 156 Dark Clouds Cover the Sky

The magical power is finally lit up!

Fang Yi couldn't wait to see the specific functions of this magical power.

But before he could take any action, he suddenly discovered that the amount of power of faith coming over at this time was particularly huge.

"What day is today? Why are there so many incense sticks?"

Fang Yi felt a little strange.

Suddenly, he recalled that he had just taken out his cell phone and looked at the time, which showed April 5th.

"Oh, today is Qingming Festival, no wonder there are so many incense sticks."

Fang Yi vaguely understood something.

Although Qingming Festival is a day to worship ancestors, many people will go to temples to burn incense and worship gods.

Then, the dozen or so sects and temples that worshipped Huangshan Daojun and Hunyuan Taichu Daojun naturally gained a lot of power of faith and lit up this magical power in one fell swoop.

"It took more than a dozen sects and temples so long to light up a magical power. If not, it would take at least several years with just my small number of believers."

Fang Yi couldn't help but secretly sigh that it was a wise decision for him to give that group of people a chance.

Let’s see what effect the magical power has.

Fang Yi immersed his soul into the part of his magical powers that was lit up by the energy field.

"Fuck! So perverted?"

He was shocked by this magical power!

This magical power is actually an incarnation outside the body!

As the name suggests, an incarnation is a body created outside of one's own body, which has the same thinking as the original body.

There are two types of incarnations in mythology.

One is to create countless fake bodies, and the strength of the fake bodies is much weaker than the original body.

The other is to separate out a real body, and this incarnation is no less powerful than the original body.

And Fang Yi got the second one!

He was a little frightened when he saw it. "The external incarnation can create an incarnation with the same strength as the original body. Although each use will consume its own Dan Qi, and if the incarnation uses magical powers or spells that consume a lot of Dan Qi, it will collapse due to exhaustion of energy. But if it is created and not used normally, it is like having two of me in a critical moment to fight others!"

It is worthy of being the magical power in the energy field of Hunyuan Taichu Da Dao Jun!

Fang Yi was already extremely excited to have obtained such a miraculous magical power.

"It's a pity that this magical power also has its flaws. The avatar doesn't have a soul like the real body. Some magical powers that require the use of the soul cannot be used, such as the dead tree coming back to life. In addition, the avatar cannot practice. Its strength is fixed at the strength of the person who uses the magical power when it is used."

He analyzed the pros and cons immediately.

Despite this, Fang Yi was still very satisfied.

If you are going on a long journey in the future, you can leave an incarnation behind to guard the temple.

After learning about what kind of magical powers there were, he was even more looking forward to Hunyuan Taichu Da Dao Jun being able to develop new magical powers.

After all, the first magical power that was conceived is so magical, the next one will definitely be better.

"It's a pity that there are so few believers. The next one will probably take three months, or even longer."

Fang Yi was quite helpless.

Faith is something that cannot be forced.

Only by showing your divine power all day long can you attract a large number of believers.

But it takes an opportunity to show one's power. Wouldn't it seem stupid if you show your power randomly when there is nothing to do?

We’ll talk about it later.

Fang Yi shook his head and slowly floated down from the top of the mountain.

…

Foot of the mountain.

He was just about to ride Red Hare back to the palace.

As soon as he floated down, Fang Yi saw a little boy of four or five years old holding a handful of green grass and handing it to the mouth of Red Hare, with a smiling young couple standing next to them.

You can tell at first glance that it is a happy family of three traveling to Huangshan.

"Mom, why don't horses eat grass?" the little boy asked in a baby voice, tilting his head.

The woman with the ponytail laughed and said, "Maybe it's not hungry. Come here quickly, little treasure. The big horse will kick you if it gets angry."

"oh."

The little boy rushed back.

The shaved-head man reached out and picked up the little boy. "Xiaobao, let's go up the mountain to watch the sunrise now, okay?"

"Okay." The little boy nodded vigorously.

The three of them went upstairs while chatting.

Fang Yi couldn't help but frown.

It’s not that he felt uncomfortable with the little boy teasing Red Hare.

Instead, Fang Yi "saw" the little boy's "soul was covered with dark clouds", as if he would not live long.

The most important thing is that after he discovered this sign, he immediately used his spiritual sense to check the little boy’s physical condition.

To his surprise, the little boy was in perfect health.

It doesn't look like a short-lived physique.

Fang Yi still didn't believe it and his soul left his body to observe the little boy's lifeline.

What is unexpected is that the lifelines of such a healthy little boy were all broken!

"It doesn't make sense. He was so healthy. Barring any accidents, he should have lived to be 70 or 80 years old. How could he die young?"

He felt really strange.

For this reason, Fang Yi used his magical sense to keep an eye on the little boy, wanting to see what was going on.

…

Return to the palace.

Zheng Xian stood at the door and looked out, as if he was expecting something.

Fang Yi rode forward and asked, "Abbot Zheng, what are you looking at?"

"Palace Master." Zheng bowed first, then said with a wry smile, "Today is Qingming Festival. Logically, many large Taoist temples and Buddhist temples would have many people burning incense. The scale of our Taoist Temple is barely good, so I wanted to see if anyone came to burn incense and worship the gods. Unfortunately, I didn't see a single person."

Fang Yi said calmly: "If there is none, then there is none."

Zheng Xian said anxiously, "Palace Master, you don't know that the income of domestic Taoist temples and Buddhist temples comes from several sources. First, ticket revenue, second, incense money, and then there are rituals, merit boxes, lay offerings, self-operated businesses, etc. No one came to burn incense during the Qingming Festival, which means we have no believers. Without believers, there is no source of income, and that would mean eating up all the money."

Fang Yi doesn't care about money or not.

He still has a large sum of Swiss francs in his Swiss bank account.

Even if the palace had no income for decades, he could still support this group of Taoists.

But when Fang Yi heard Zheng Xian's words, he couldn't help but feel moved.

Yes, no one came to burn incense.

Isn’t it because there are no believers?

If there are enough believers in a temple, is it possible for me to gain more power of faith?

Although other Taoist temples and Buddhist monasteries enshrine Huangshan Daojun and Hunyuan Taichu Daojun, it is impossible for them to give all the power of faith to themselves.

Only a small portion can be obtained.

Most of them were given to the gods mainly worshipped in Taoist temples and Buddhist temples.

Fang Yi wondered whether he should find an opportunity to recruit some believers.

Well, let me think about what to do next.

Fang Yi was about to dismount and go inside.

Zheng Xian sighed again and said, "Don't even mention the tourists. Even in Tanjiaqiao Town, which is relatively close to our temple, no one comes here to burn incense and worship the gods. Even if the people in the town knew that we have a Taoist priest here, they can come to us for rituals in the future. At least we can have some income."

Yes, there are tens of thousands of people living in Tanjiaqiao Town.

If some of the people in this town are recruited as believers, not only can a lot of power of faith be gained, but Tanjiaqiao Town, as the eastern gateway to the Huangshan Scenic Area and a secondary tourism service base, will definitely recommend more tourists to the temple.

Fang Yi felt that if he wanted to gain a large number of believers, he should first adapt to local conditions and start from the villages and towns around him.

He waved his hands and said, "It's okay. Slowly people will come to burn incense and worship the gods."

Zheng Xian sighed and said, "I hope so."

We chatted a little.

Fang Yi led the Red Hare inside.

Return to the private courtyard.

He first sent the Red Hare back to the stable.

Afterwards, Fang Yi returned to the bedroom and practiced martial arts to restore his Dan Qi, while keeping an eye on the little boy with an extremely strange fate.

He wanted to know how such a healthy little boy could have his life cut off.

It doesn't make sense at all!

Fang Yi knew from the beginning that the lifeline represents a person's lifespan.

But he had observed before that this lifespan can be changed.

For example, if a person suffering from an illness is cured by himself using the magical power of "Tiantong Protecting Life Sutra", it is possible that he can live a few more years.

Or eating a golden apple could add two hundred years to your lifespan.

In other words, the length of life is not fixed and unchangeable.

"If that's the case, why does the little boy look like he's going to die?"

Fang Yi really couldn't figure it out.

He used his magical perception to see that the little boy and his family of three first climbed up to watch the sunrise.

Afterwards, the three of them played in Huangshan for the whole morning.

It was almost noon when the little boy and his family of three returned to town.

I stared for a long time but didn't find any clues.

Suddenly, Fang Yi used his magical perception to see that the little boy who was walking towards the restaurant somehow broke free from his mother's hand and turned back towards the road.

At this moment, a fast-moving car was coming towards them.

The little boy was about to be hit.

Fang Yi immediately activated his spiritual sense and was near the little boy in an instant, wanting to see if he could cast a spell to save the boy's life, to perform the so-called "change of fate".

However, what was shocking was that as soon as the divine consciousness came nearby, it was actually pulled into the divine realm!

Fang Yi only felt a flash before his eyes.

The next moment, I was in a dark place.

Despite this, Fang Yi could still clearly see a ferocious evil ghost in the darkness.

Although this evil ghost had a ferocious face, it was actually very weak. It attacked his spiritual consciousness dozens of times without causing any damage.

Logically speaking, since it is so weak, Fang Yi should not need to pay any attention to it and just withdraw his spiritual sense.

However, his magical perception saw that the little boy was hit hard by the car and flew more than ten meters away, rolling many times on the ground.

The little boy's parents were stunned for a second, and then rushed over crying.

Fang Yi could use his magical perception to clearly see that the little boy died the moment he was hit.

In other words, even if he rushed over now and used the "Dead Tree Resurrection" technique, it would be useless.

What?

The little boy died like this?

Fang Yi's heart suddenly shook.

The death of this little boy was so strange. He suddenly broke free from the adult's hands like a madman and rushed to the middle of the road. Coincidentally, a car was driving by.

These are nothing.

After all, Fang Yi decided to see if he could change his fate by intervening.

But who would have thought that as soon as he released his spiritual consciousness and was about to cast a spell to rescue the little boy, he was inexplicably dragged into the realm of gods by an evil spirit!

This is no longer a matter of coincidence!

It was as if everything was arranged, and the little boy had to lose his life at this time and in this place!

Fang Yi felt inexplicably frightened.

Does it mean that once the lifeline is broken, even if the person is in good health, he will have to die?

He didn't know if his guess was right.

But Fang Yi had murderous intentions.

If that evil ghost had not suddenly pulled his consciousness into the divine realm, he would have been fully capable of saving people.

Whether or not the person is saved is one thing.

It’s another thing to be blocked from saving someone.

Fang Yi felt offended as if he wanted to do something but was blocked by ants.

"How dare you stop me from saving people? Today I will break up your energy field!"

Fang Yi's eyes turned cold.
