"Mr. Chen.
It's getting dark soon, and we plan to rest in a small temple ahead."
The journey went smoothly all day. Near dusk, the caravan manager approached carefully and asked.
"Manager Xu can make his own arrangements."
Chen Yushu's voice came from the car.
So half an hour later, the caravan stopped in a slightly deserted temple.
The small temple is an abandoned one with a statue of Guanyin in the middle and two boys sitting on it.
It’s just because there are no people around, so the incense gradually disappeared.
However, perhaps because there are caravans or pedestrians stopping here all year round, the temple is not deserted and there is relatively little dust.
As soon as they entered the temple, the group of people felt relieved.
Some people made fires and cooked, while others laid out the ground and made a place suitable for their rest. Of course, there were also a few alert guards who patrolled and explored the surroundings.
The entire caravan has its own responsibilities.
“It is said that this temple was quite effective in the early days and was very popular.
However, due to the changes in the world, demons and ghosts were rampant, and this place was far away from human habitation, so it gradually became deserted.
It just happens to be a shelter for countless passers-by.
Otherwise, in this remote place, you might really run into something dirty."
A monk who had been traveling for many years spoke up and explained.
“That was indeed the case before.
However, I heard that things are slowly becoming a bit uneasy here.
I heard that some time ago, the Li family business encountered a strange thing when passing by here, but fortunately it was not too dangerous and was solved by two three-incense monks.
But this also indicates that this place is not as safe as we thought.”
“I’ve heard about this, too.
A beast soul of the evil ghost level broke in.
It's not very dangerous.
We have so many people here, and we have Senior Wang and Senior Yu, two masters of Dao, here, so there is no need to worry too much."
…
As they talked, they couldn't help but look eagerly at Wang Wei and Yu Xiao.
Both of them smiled, revealing a hint of complacency.
Chen Yushu naturally heard the conversation between the few people, so he got off the carriage and started walking around in the temple.
When his eyes flashed, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
“Is there still a trace of residual divine power here?
It’s faint, but it’s there.”
If it was before.
He had no perception of this so-called divine power.
However, he had just broken through to the state of meditation and reached the level of sitting and forgetting. His perception of any power between heaven and earth had already reached an unimaginable level.
Naturally, you can sense the special atmosphere around you.
The reason why he judged that this was divine power was because of the magic skills he had cultivated before, the art of borrowing divine power.
At that time, he borrowed the Great Sage's arrival, and the aura he exuded was very similar to this aura.
Therefore, he judged that there had actually been a true god in this temple before, or one of his gods had descended.
However, perhaps because the temple has been abandoned and uninhabited for too long, its divinity has gradually dissipated?
After a lot of thoughts in his mind, he finally walked to the statue.
He took out three incense sticks from the storage bag, lit them one by one, and then inserted them into the sandalwood in front of the statue.
There are actually some traces of incense on the sandalwood, which means that passing travelers or caravans must have offered sacrifices.
Of course, it is very rare.
This can be seen from the traces above. The last time he was defeated was probably several years ago.
The temple is completely abandoned and most people don’t dare to worship there.
Because in this world where ghosts exist, if you worship in an abandoned temple, you are very likely to attract ghosts and gods.
"Does Mr. Chen believe in this Bodhisattva?
I do know that there is a Guanyin Temple in Daocheng County. Although it is not very popular, it is very effective. I can take you to see it when the time comes."
Shopkeeper Xu had been keeping an eye on Chen Yushu. When he saw Chen Yushu lighting incense, he hurried over and said respectfully.
"After all, this is a temple with gods. If you disturb me rashly, I should burn a stick of incense."
Chen Yushu smiled and said.
"A temple with gods?"
Shopkeeper Xu was stunned when he heard this.
"right.
There are gods in the temple.
I just don’t know whether it has dissipated or has already left.”
As Chen Yushu spoke, his eyes suddenly fixed.
Because he saw the incense he lit float up slowly, then quickly turned into mist, and then turned into wisps of fragrance, flowing into the area around the Bodhisattva statue and being absorbed by it.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yushu felt that the divine power around him seemed to have increased a little.
"Is there really a god in this temple?"
Shopkeeper Xu was stunned for a moment, then seemed to remember something and quickly called out to someone behind him, "Quick, bring the incense."
He knew that Chen Yushu's identity was not simple, and even the head of the family respected him very much.
Since the other party said there is a god in this temple, then there must be one.
Then he naturally needed to light a stick of incense to protect himself and the safety of his caravan.
Soon, the man brought the incense and lit it. Then Manager Xu bowed hurriedly and quickly ordered, "Everyone, take one stick of incense and bow once."
There are quite a few monks who travel by stealth in the caravan, and they all carry things like incense with them, so naturally they are not short of it.
Even though many people were grumbling in their hearts, they all worshipped honestly.
Chen Yushu didn't stop him either.
Just look at the statue carefully.
Sure enough, as countless incense sticks burned, its efficiency in absorbing incense increased, and the divine power it spread around began to gradually become more obvious.
"Thank you!"
a long time.
Just as Chen Yushu was sitting in a corner, planning to ignore the matter for the time being, a voice rang in his ears.
"But the gods from the upper realm, Guanyin, are here in person?"
Chen Yushu responded quickly.
"no.
I am just a Dharma soul.
As the world suddenly changed, the spiritual energy faded, and now, only a remnant soul remains, barely surviving."
An inexplicable voice from within the statue quickly responded.
"Dharma Soul? What about your current situation..."
Chen Yushu was stunned and guessed that it might be a god from the past, or even a fragment of the soul left by Guanyin.
This is actually very normal.
Such beings left because of the changes in the world, but they did not want to completely lose the development and opportunities of this place, so they left behind a wisp of their soul to make plans.
However, over time, this split soul will gradually dissipate because it is not replenished.
It is worth mentioning that Li Yangyang, the one favored by God, had the opportunity to develop to where he is today because of the opportunity of Taoism granted by a soul fragment left by an ancient god.
Therefore, although this kind of ancient god's soul is rare in this world, it does exist.
For example, he has encountered a case now.
“You will die soon!
Even if the incense burns a little today, it won't last long."
Fahun spoke.
"What if we relocate the temple to maintain its prosperity?"
“For me, divine power is the foundation.
Only the incense of monks is the source of our divine power.
You guys are either warriors or Yin-walking monks. The power of incense can supplement my divine power.
For ordinary people, the amount makes no difference to me.
Not to mention.
The fundamental divinity gradually dissipated due to the rules of heaven and earth.
Even if there were monks who could support it, it would only delay it for a dozen years at most, which wouldn't be very meaningful."
Fahun obviously had no intention of continuing to maintain it and directly denied it.
"That's a pity."
Chen Yushu was silent for a moment and said.
But I also know that this is true.
Divine power may be replenished by the incense of monks, but divinity is the most important thing and will inevitably dissipate with the passage of time.
Only when the main spirit personally injects it can it be maintained for a long time.
However, the heaven and earth were severed, and the gods retreated. As long as the heaven and earth remained unchanged, it was impossible for the main spirit to descend, and naturally it was impossible to inject divinity into these Dharma souls.
"Originally, if it weren't for the incense you lit, I would have completely perished in the past few days.
In this case, I will also give you an opportunity, as a way of thanking you for extending my life."
Then, the Dharma Soul spoke.
Then, a golden light turned into a stream of light and appeared in front of Chen Yushu.
“This is the mysterious light of the law.
It is a kind of divine perception of the world that I have gained over the years.
Once absorbed, it will be able to absorb a bit of my understanding of the rules of heaven and earth, thereby speeding up my cultivation.
It even has a certain improving effect on the soul of cultivators.
However, there are pros and cons.
After all, this mysterious light of law is my comprehension of the rules of heaven and earth. If fellow Daoist absorbs it, the efficiency of his comprehension of the corresponding mysterious rules will be weakened.
Although it is not completely incomprehensible.
But it will be lowered to a level.
Between gains and losses, fellow Taoists will experience it for themselves."
Immediately afterwards, the voice of the Dharma Soul also sounded.
"Law of Mysterious Light?"
Chen Yushu was stunned.
Looking at this ball of golden divine light that seemed to manifest countless mysterious laws, he began to think.
No doubt about it.
Although the other party is a Dharma soul and a split soul, the origin of the original body is extremely high.
Nature has its own understanding of the rules of heaven and earth, and its understanding is absolutely thorough.
Even if the main spirit leaves, the soul fragments it leaves behind, and the insights accumulated over hundreds or thousands of years, are definitely a huge legacy.
It will definitely increase his strength to an incredible level in a short period of time.
Especially in the understanding of the rules of heaven and earth.
It can definitely be greatly accelerated.
But as it says, the disadvantages are also very obvious.
That will affect his subsequent cultivation and understanding of the rules of heaven and earth.
For example, the state of meditation he is in right now is the Zuwang Sutra. Once he absorbs this mysterious light of rules, the efficiency of his comprehension of the rules of heaven and earth may be constant, or even at a constant level.
The gap is huge.
If he were just an ordinary cultivator, then this little impact would be insignificant.
How many cultivators would be stuck in one realm, unable to advance for years? If they had the opportunity to increase their understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, the corresponding bottleneck would be broken immediately, and their strength would be instantly improved.
But Chen Yushu is different.
His state of meditation is extremely high, and his understanding of the laws of heaven and earth is very clear.
It is naturally impossible to ruin one's future just for the sake of profit.
But I have to say that this Rule Xuan Guang is a good thing, and it would be inappropriate not to collect it.
After all, this Dharma Soul clearly looked like it was about to dissipate, so it was obviously very sincere of it to give such a thing.
I am indeed very grateful to him.
So, Chen Yushu replied: "This thing is indeed a good thing.
If I don't accept it, I would be ungrateful.
However, this thing is indeed detrimental to my future practice.
So, I wonder if I can give this benefit to my spirit?"
"Since the things have been given away, there is no reason for me to take them back.
If you want to give it to someone else, it has nothing to do with me."
Fahun replied quickly.
"In that case, thank you very much!"
Chen Yushu thanked her, then quickly said in a low voice, "Xiaohong!"
"Brother Yushu, I'm here."
Soon, Xiaohong's figure rushed out from his ghost gourd.
"I'll give you this mysterious light of rules."
Chen Yushu said casually.
"Thank you, Brother Yushu!"
Xiaohong naturally knew that this was a good thing.
Then he jumped quickly to the mysterious light of rules and grabbed it.
The mysterious light paused slightly, then instantly poured into her soul and body and was quickly absorbed by her.
Dharma Soul, no longer speak.
After Xiaohong absorbed the mysterious light of rules, her soul body vibrated slightly, and her cultivation level began to soar rapidly.
The early stage of evil spirits, the middle stage of evil spirits, the late stage of evil spirits...
Moreover, her soul body quickly became solid and tough, and in a trance it seemed like a real entity, almost comparable to some evil ghosts.
Fortunately, Chen Yushu was used to setting up formations in his own place of practice.
Because of the isolation of various auras, other people could not notice the changes in the aura around him at all.
Naturally, no trace of Xiaohong could be found.
Seeing that Xiaohong's strength was improving rapidly, but no special changes occurred, he was nervous at first, but soon calmed down.
Thus, time passes.
It was not until the crescent moon was high in the sky that Xiaohong woke up again.
"how?"
Chen Yushu asked repeatedly.
"Brother Yushu, I feel like I've become so powerful all of a sudden.
I feel like even my grandfather is not as good as me."
Xiaohong's soul did not grow larger because of this, but the aura on his body was obviously different, and it stabilized at the peak level of evil spirit.
It was just because he had forced a breakthrough, so his aura was slightly scattered, appearing to be extremely yin.
“This is just the beginning.
Once you truly absorb the rules and insights within, your strength will increase again."
Chen Yushu explained with a smile.
It is clear that this time, the Dharma Soul has indeed given a good thing.
At least for Xiaohong, it is extremely precious.
Otherwise, with her cultivation aptitude, it would take at least dozens or even hundreds of years to reach such a level.
Even if he helps, this time can be greatly shortened, but it will still take at least several years.
Moreover, because of this opportunity, she will hardly encounter any barriers when entering the level of the evil spirit.
You know, if an ordinary ghost reaches the peak of evil spirits, it is almost extremely difficult to surpass it.
Among his several contracted spirits, the reason why Zhu Jiuzhi and Feitian Xuejiang were able to cross the level of evil spirits and reach the level of haunted spirits was because they had actually practiced for decades or even hundreds of years, and their accumulation was already rich enough.
Otherwise, you will remain at the level of evil spirits. (End of this chapter)
