"What? A cultivator?" Xuejian and Jingtian looked at him in confusion.

The two of them were curious, and after satisfying Guan Liyuan's vanity, he also gave them a "popular science"!

Guan Liyuan also learned about this thing from Zixuan's jade slips, which contained several methods of practicing the incense and fire way.

As the name suggests, it is a way of practicing that relies on incense and sacrifice to forge the body of a temple god.

However, human cultivators rarely practice the incense and fire way. It is not a matter of talent, but more because of nature. When humans practice the incense and fire way, they are likely to really regard themselves as high gods, and then forget themselves and develop in the direction of cults...

The ending is often either being wiped out by other Taoist sects, or being backfired and killed during the tribulation.

On the contrary, some spiritual monsters may be "spared", such as the "Five Great Immortals" in the mountains and forests, which refers to five monsters that are easy to evolve into the incense and fire way-weasels, foxes, hedgehogs, snakes, and rats.

For the demon race, it is much more promising than the way of blood-eating, because it has a longer lifespan, and if you practice the way of merit and virtue and benefit the people, you can weaken the disaster...

Of course, there are often people who seek death in the demon land, such as suddenly asking people to pay tribute to boys and girls, and they are often wiped out faster, and once you practice the way of blood-eating, the disaster will backfire more fiercely.

According to Zi Xuan's comments, in addition to the long lifespan, the most prominent advantage of the way of incense is that it requires very low comprehension, but it also has great defects. The upper limit is basically fixed at the first level of thunder disaster, and the power will drop significantly if you leave the range of sacrifice, and the temple will be destroyed and the vitality will be greatly damaged. If you don't practice the way of merit and virtue to reconcile, it is easy to go astray - there is no future.

Especially in some remote places, some people who think they are smart only rely on intimidation and threats to force others to worship the temple gods. There is resentment hidden in the incense, and the spiritual energy cultivated is also mixed, which is no different from the way of blood-eating... Compared

with the mountains and forests, it is easier for landmines to be born in coastal areas...

After all, going to sea is not only more dangerous for ordinary people, but also more uneasy. Moreover, there are more opportunities to save people in the sea - if you save a few boats, your reputation will be publicized!

After hearing that there was a landmine in Zhenjiang, Guan Liyuan simply took Xuejian and Jingtian to the "Zhenjiang General Temple" that night.

This temple is on the edge of the city and does not occupy a large area. There is only one main sacrificial hall and a small house where the old temple priest lives. However, the paint bricks are very new and the incense is very sufficient - it is not that there are still people coming to worship at night, but Guan Liyuan opened his eyes with all his strength and could see the smell of incense.

I heard from the waiter that this temple has been around for more than 400 years. I think the main body of the temple god should be a demon. After all, even if a human is a half-immortal, his life span is no more than 200 years. The life span of a practitioner of the incense and fire way will not be twice as long. Moreover, Guan Liyuan really doesn't believe that he can easily meet a half-immortal! However

, over the past 400 years, this small temple has been renovated frequently.

This is not surprising. After all, there are many sea merchants who go out to sea from Zhenjiang. They are all wealthy people. Once the fleet is rescued occasionally, they will definitely renovate the general temple. Sometimes, even if it is successfully run into a big business, it has nothing to do with the "general", and it will also be considered as the blessing of the general.

If it weren't for the fact that there are only a few old temple priests in this temple, and there is no anti-theft at all, it would not be strange to repair the golden body!

"Ah! Who are you?" An old temple priest heard the voice and was startled when he saw Jingtian.

Guan Liyuan looked at him complainingly, as if saying: It's all your magic sword that scared people!

Jingtian: ? ? ?

Jingtian felt wronged. The magic sword was obviously wrapped up. No matter how you look at it... It's all you who scared me, okay?

Although there are people with strange hair and eye colors in the world of Fairy Sword, it is still scary to see someone dressed in white in the middle of the night!

"Don't worry, old man! Although my little brother looks fierce, he is not a bad guy..." Guan Liyuan stepped forward to explain.

Those who don't know would think he is from the Tang Dynasty in the East.

The old temple keeper:...

"Hey, everyone, if you want to worship the general, come back tomorrow morning. The temple is closed at night." The old temple keeper said.

"Oh no, we are not going to worship the general, but we have something to ask." Guan Liyuan said.

Just when the old temple keeper was puzzled, he saw a divine light behind Guan Liyuan - only Jingtian and Xuejian behind him saw that it was Guan Liyuan who cast a "flame curse" behind him!

"You, you... No, are you an immortal?" The old temple keeper almost bit his tongue.

"I don't dare to be an immortal, I just want to send a message to the sea for Shushan, and ask the general to open the sea." Guan Liyuan is good at making up stories, after all, no one knows Xu Changqing.

The old temple keeper immediately invited Guan Liyuan and the other two in, but it was a pity that Guan Liyuan did not let him watch the prayer.

Guan Liyuan came to the main hall dedicated to the temple body, locked the old temple keeper outside, and then walked around the statue three times to the left and three times to the right, calling out "Zhenjiang General" every time...

The statue of the temple body looked like a big-bellied leather-armored general riding a carp, holding two whips in his hands, and painted with copper, looking majestic.

After six temple calls, a phantom of a carp condensed from the statue of the temple body and floated in front of Guan Liyuan and the other two.

"Huh? Are you the mount of Zhenjiang General? Are you a carp?" Xuejian asked curiously.

It was not known whether the big carp was born with a good temper or felt Xuejian's righteous aura, but said very honestly: "This general is a golden carp that entered the sea, but this general is not a mount... This temple body is just for the convenience of worship."

Sure enough, Guan Liyuan said that this general should not be a human... So this carp is the real body!

"Don't carp live in rivers? Are you lost?" Xuejian asked in confusion.

General: ...

"No, some carp can survive in light salt water, that is, in the coastal area, and only return to fresh water to spawn, such as sharp-finned carp." Guan Liyuan said knowledgeably on the side.

"I see." Xuejian nodded in understanding.

General: ...

Is it really okay for you to discuss the issue of carp spawning in front of this general?

"Sharp-finned carp, sharp-finned carp, we want to go to Penglai, can you take us there? Can I help you build a golden body?" Xuejian asked maliciously. "

Don't hurt me, my merits can't carry a golden body... and it's not a sharp-finned carp, it's a golden carp that enters the sea! No... it's the general, the general!" the general corrected.

"Then you take us to Penglai, or I will help you build a golden body... all gold!" Xuejian said in a domineering manner.

General: ... I think you are making things difficult for me, the general?

Guan Liyuan held her back and bowed to the general, saying, "My friend was joking. Please don't be offended. In fact, we were entrusted by Shushan to deliver a letter to Penglai... If the general is willing to open the door of convenience, Guan will be grateful. Moreover, when I came in, I found that some arrangements in the general's temple seemed to be omitted. If the general doesn't mind, I can instruct the temple priests to rearrange them."

When the general heard Shushan, he couldn't help but feel a little timid and a little distant. When he heard Penglai, his eyes moved slightly, and after hearing the following words, his eyes sparkled.

The cultivation of the earth requires very low comprehension, but it requires a complex "sense of ritual", otherwise the efficiency of the conversion of incense will be greatly reduced!

The general was a carp that had opened up some spiritual wisdom more than 400 years ago and was much larger than its peers. Because he saved several people out of instinct, he was instructed by a passing expert and embarked on the road of the earth. However, he was still very stupid at the time and didn't understand the expert's instructions. Some arrangements seemed to be true or false...
