Chapter 319 Soul Eater
There are no specific rules for burning incense and offering sacrifices to gods in daily life. As long as you recite the corresponding titles of gods and immortals, light the incense, and insert it into the incense burner, you are good to go.
There is no need to kneel or offer any tribute. The only difference from other people who do not worship this god is that one has to call himself "disciple" when offering incense.
Of course, this "disciple" does not mean that you are really his disciple, but it is a polite name, a humble title. In general, such as "Disciple so-and-so, meeting so-and-so", the meaning of daily incense is probably to say hello to the immortals, similar to the meaningless greeting of "Star God, I pay my respects to you", the main purpose of which is to prove that you have indeed registered with this immortal.
However, if someone who does not worship the immortal god calls himself a "disciple", he will be in trouble. The consequences of "deceiving the gods" are not something that everyone can bear. This is also the reason why the monks in the ten continents and three islands would burn incense to each other when they communicate with each other at the slightest disagreement.
Nietzsche and the others actually didn't know the so-called daily incense-asking process. Although the Jade Emperor had learned it in class in the project team, he had never put it into practice. He could only take the incense awkwardly, bowed, and said, "Disciple Zhongzhou Taiyin Sect [Jade Emperor], pays homage to the God of Fortune, God of Wealth, and God of Longevity..."
The other players followed suit, awkwardly imitating the Jade Emperor, holding incense, bowing in a messy manner, and inserting them into the incense burner at random.
Strangely enough, such a disrespectful offering of incense actually worked, which surprised the old priest who was squinting and not very optimistic about the players' behavior.
No matter how strange the players' behavior is, as long as they can prove that they have indeed been worshipping the Three Stars of Fortune, Longevity and Happiness and are recognized by them, they can be considered normal monks.
After offering incense, Niu Helu led the players out of the temple, where Chakota was waiting at the door.
Niu Helu nodded to Cha Keta invisibly, and Cha Keta's tone became much friendlier. She said, "Now that you have offered incense, you are now a friend of the Hu Buyu clan! By the way, you just said you wanted to do business with us. Liuzhou is bitterly cold and has no special products. Only Kunwu Stone is very famous. Are you interested?"
Most players had no idea about the various spiritual materials mentioned in the "Records of the Ten Continents", and could only parrot back the question: "Kunwu Stone?"
"A kind of ore, one of the most useful spiritual ores for forging weapons, especially swords. We also use it quite often when refining weapons. I received two pieces after completing my daily tasks last week, but I have never been willing to use them!"
Guan Tangbao was an instrument cultivator and was quite familiar with Kunwu Stone, so he immediately introduced it to everyone.
Chakota nodded and said, "That's right. The best Kunwu Stone can also assist in spiritual practice. It is priceless. Every time the flying boat of the Fu Lu Shou Chamber of Commerce comes here, they also collect Kunwu Stone."
Nietzsche asked, “How do you sell it?”
"Look at the quality. We have collected all the washed Kunwu stones. You can pick some. There are many low-quality ones that are worth dozens of spiritual stones each. There are also good-quality ones that are worth thousands of spiritual stones each. There are also top-quality ones that are worth tens of spiritual stones. It's just that top-quality Kunwu stones are hard to come by. We have only found one in all these years."
Chakota said, glancing at the eager people, and added: "If you can exchange with elixirs or various spiritual plants and medicinal materials, we can lower the price a little bit."
Miscanthus excitedly typed in the team channel: "Great! This time when we trade with the Hubuyu clan, we shouldn't be forced to lower the price!"
Other players also discussed, "I don't think so. I don't think there are many profiteers like the Fu Lu Shou Merchants!"
"I like this plot! Won't it be the dumping ground for our community in the future?"
"Be bold! We can be middlemen! We can directly buy other players' goods and sell them here! Anyway, we are the only ones who can be teleported to Liuzhou!"
"Fuck! Fellow Daoist, you have a good brain! You must have made a lot of money in the bull market, right?"
"A hero never brags about his past achievements. Recently... I've lost a lot..."
Nietzsche was naturally happy too. She was worried about what to do with the pile of spiritual herbs and plants in the warehouse that were not selling well! However, no matter what she thought in her heart, she was quite calm and asked, "We do have a lot of spiritual herbs and plants, but I don't know what you need?"
Chakota counted on his fingers and said, "We want as many as we can find for calming the mind and warding off evil spirits. We also want some for healing wounds! If there are any calcite stones, we want them too!"
"Concentrate and calm down? Exorcise evil spirits?" The Jade Emperor was very confused: "No matter how bitter and cold your Liuzhou is, what spiritual materials can you use to exorcise evil spirits?"
"Eh? You really don't know?"
This time it was Chakota's turn to be confused.
She thought for a moment and said briefly, "Since the Soul Devouring Rift imprisoned the Sword Sect, a very strange creature has begun to appear in Liuzhou. They are neither alive nor dead, wandering around, and they only go to places where living people gather. They are very weak and have no attack power, but they will emit an aura that pollutes the soul, causing people to go crazy and turn into... monsters...
"We all call it the Soul Eater, because everyone suspects that it escaped from the Soul Eater Rift, or even from the Sword Sect...
“This is also the reason why no merchant ships are willing to come to Liuzhou. Only the Fu Lu Shou Chamber of Commerce comes occasionally, and they never stay overnight. They come and go on the same day.
“In the entire Liuzhou, only places that can support the barrier are relatively safe, but even so, we have to send people to the surrounding areas every now and then to clean up those wandering soul eaters.
"So it was really strange that you showed up outside Hubuyu Town without any hesitation."
Wu Ke frowned and muttered, "Why does this sound so familiar? Zombie siege? Biochemical Liuzhou?"
King Bamboo Grass rolled his eyes and typed a long paragraph in the team channel, his disgust almost overflowing the screen: "You are so stupid! Isn't this exactly the same as the various headless people we encountered before the mission! And the diary written on the wooden board by the disciple of the Sword Sect we found mentioned something like 'Yinglong Breath'!"
Renxinhuadao, however, spoke up and emphasized, "Hey, you two! Stop talking nonsense. We killed Yinglong a long time ago. Where did this Yinglong come from? Is it a new one?"
The Jade Emperor analyzed in the group microphone: "Maybe it's not the 'Yinglong Breath'! The so-called 'Yinglong Breath' is also a second-hand clue. It is the notes of an NPC who is probably crazy. It may not be the truth! Maybe it is some kind of demonic energy or ghost energy or something like that!"
