Chapter 441 The Incense System of Dayu Country

There is a temple beside the rich river city. The temple worships the mother of the river. The incense is lingering, the mist is dense, and the golden body has been wrapped in a layer of tobacco oil.

The incense is constantly burning, and the voices are bustling. Li Changxiao saw the temple and went in for a walk. Looking at the kind-looking statue with drooping eyebrows, Li Changxiao remembered that it seemed that since they left the Buddhist city, he had not formally seen the drinking buddy he fished out of the river again.

I don’t know if she will still drink. I guess she has quit drinking a long time ago. After all, she is a pioneer walking in the front of the road. She can’t just wander around like me.

Although the mother of the river temple is not like a Buddhist temple, it also needs to be taken care of. This responsibility usually falls on the head of the local respected rain master.

The rain master is on the way of sacrifice, but he is also close to incense.

Although the incense has not been completely passed, it has long shown the effect of prolonging life.

Unlike the martial artists of Tongqiao Dao, the black market merchants of Stealing Life Dao, and the Way of Sacrificing Life..., these ways of prolonging life are mostly for mortals, and the effect of mortals embarking on these paths is far better than that of cultivators.

Because mortals have a short lifespan. Many cultivators are already hundreds or even thousands of years old. Even if they have reached the extreme, it is difficult for martial artists of Tongqiao Dao to add one or two hundred, or even two or three hundred years of lifespan out of thin air like mortals.

Although there is an effect, it will be discounted.

The difference with the incense road is that the incense road is not easy to increase lifespan, but it can delay the passing of lifespan.

Moreover, the incense road has a certain threshold. If a cultivator does not have the cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage, walking the incense road is undoubtedly like using a bamboo basket to fetch water, which consumes energy and effort, but in the end it is nothing.

In the past, Longcheng Fu Ren wanted to imitate Mu Qin when he was in the foundation building stage. At that time, the incense road had not yet become a system, and it was not known whether it was good or bad.

Fu Ren dared to be the first, his courage and boldness are commendable, but it's a pity that his cultivation is not enough.

Li Changxiao still remembers the chaotic scene when the reform was just popular, with a small temple every three steps and a large temple every ten steps. Whether it was a prosperous city or an uninhabited countryside, there were endless wild temples and countless wild gods. It can be seen that most cultivators favor incense.

After experiencing the initial chaos, it naturally returned to normal. Incense was attached to the court, or it was closely connected with the court.

The incense god system was extended in this way.

Although the Great Yu Kingdom that Li Changxiao traveled to was more than 18000 miles away from the Lingtian Dynasty of Lingtianzhou, that system extended here.

So here, seeing the River Mother Temple is strange and normal.

Perhaps the Great Yu Kingdom specially invited the River Mother for the orthodoxy of its incense god system.

Li Changxiao entered the Hemu Temple, not knowing whether the Lord Hemu would know that on this ordinary day, there was a familiar person or half an acquaintance who visited her territory.

He did not burn incense, in his words, he would not make trouble. If his incense brought some bad luck, it would not be good.

The Hemu Temple is not only a golden statue, but also has many facilities. Li Changxiao paid a little incense money and followed the disciples of Master Yu to the canteen in the back to eat vegetarian food.

The vegetarian food was all vegetarian, bean sprouts, winter melon, but it had its own fragrance. After Li Changxiao finished eating, he vaguely remembered that the vegetarian food tasted familiar.

I still remember that he once took Zhao Qing to eat vegetarian food in the temple. At that time, he also taught Zhao Qing all his survival skills. He told her that if she was down and out, had no money, and was hungry, she could take two copper coins as incense money and eat vegetarian food to her heart's content.

The vegetarian meals in the Hemu Temple are very cheap. Those who are not in trouble are charged three copper coins, and those who are in trouble are charged one copper coin. This rule has been in place since some time and has continued to this day.

It is naturally a good deed. I don’t know how many people remember the Hemu Temple’s kindness of a meal. At the same time, it is an iron rule.

It is said that there was a person who was blinded by profit and privately changed the price of the vegetarian meal, secretly adding a copper coin.

As a result, the next day, cracks appeared on the golden body of the Hemu, and no matter how it was repaired, it could not be repaired. It collapsed half a month later.

The original gold also turned into stone. He suffered a great loss for a small profit. Not only that, the man’s reputation in the local area was also ruined, and he finally left in disgrace.

There are many rules in the Hemu Temple, and there are countless legends. It is still sung by the people.

Li Changxiao was eating vegetarian meals, and various stories came to his ears, such as the appearance of the Hemu, the Hemu receiving children, and the Hemu sending souls.

Li Changxiao, who was half an insider, could not help but say that his drinking buddy was really busy.

The territory of Dayu Kingdom was vast and it was considered an orthodox dynasty. The court also had its own incense system.

Headed by a river, followed by the four gods of the southeast, northwest, twelve mountain gods, seventy-two minor gods, and three hundred and twenty-one gods.

The system of incense gods was quite complete. Some good officials and good people who benefited the country and the people would be canonized as gods after death, and given a priesthood, so that they could enjoy incense in the future.

The court hoped that the country would be stable, and the monks hoped to get incense.

The two complemented each other and were mutually beneficial. They had been formed hundreds of years ago.

Li Changxiao wandered around the Hemu Temple, and unconsciously, he thought of so many things.

"When will I go back to Dragon City to take a look?"

Li Changxiao murmured.

He patted his sleeves and passed by the crowd, but everyone seemed to have never seen him.

…

Dayu Country.

Qingrao City

The girl Xiaozhen passed by a temple and saw that it was so lively, so she wanted to join in the fun.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she took a step, she was stopped by Ji Xue, whose eyes were cold and a bit warning.

"I'm going."

Xiao Zhen didn't know when she developed a spoiled personality and confronted Ji Xue. Then she turned around and looked at Ji Beiming pitifully.

In the past, if there was any disagreement, Brother Beiming would always stand by her.

"Xiao Zhen, you really can't go to this temple, or even get close to it."

Ji Beiming said gently, touching Xiao Zhen's head.

"Ah?"

"Okay."

After hearing this, Xiao Zhen was really not willful. Among the mermaids, she only took Ji Beiming's words to heart.

"But why?"

After leaving the Hemu Temple, Xiao Zhen couldn't help asking.

"Because... there are very dangerous people inside." Ji Beiming's expression, which was always calm and smiling, showed a moment of solemnity.

"In short, in the future, in the city with such temples, be more cautious and don't be too presumptuous." Ji Beiming said to Xiao Zhen, with a serious tone.

"By the way, Xiao Zhen, what is your third wish? Have you thought about it?" Ji Beiming asked casually.

"Well...think about it soon." Xiao Zhen's eyes rolled around, her youthful face was quirky and charming, with the unique brightness of a girl.

"By the way, where is Brother Ji Lu? I haven't seen him for several days." Xiao Zhen suddenly asked.

"Him."

Ji Beiming looked to the west, "He went to find someone."

"Looking for someone?"

"Yes, looking for someone who overestimates his own abilities."

"Oh, that person deserves death."
