At this time, the worship ceremony was completed, the statue of the god emitted light, and a gentle woman with a kind face appeared in the void, just like the statue of the god.
I only heard a soft female voice, as if speaking from the bottom of my heart, "This god is entrusted by the talisman of Qingxia Zhenren to protect the living creatures of this land and water, harmonize the atmosphere of the mountains and rivers, so that the wind and rain will be smooth and the grain will be plentiful every year."
Everyone was filled with happiness and said, "I have seen the Goddess of Ceres."
These people just saw Ceres Goddess appearing as a saint for a moment, and they couldn't control themselves. They had a little bit of faith, but it was still very shallow.
But this little bit of incense poured on her like hot spring water. Of course, Goddess of Ceres is the ghost of the loquat tree. At this time, she can sense herself very clearly. The ghost that was about to disperse gradually solidified, avoiding the danger of being scattered.
Moreover, she has experienced the thunder catastrophe of transformation. The Yin soul is capable of being Yin within Yin, but it can also produce Yang within Yin. The power of incense and fire invades into it, combines with it, and actually merges into one body, giving birth to a trace of divinity.
From then on, she was no longer a wild god created by Shen Lian, but she had a close relationship with her followers, and they both prospered and suffered losses.
At this moment, or rather the Goddess of Ceres, she suddenly sensed a door opening in the endless void, leaking out a trace of moral energy, falling on her body, and the words "Ceres are immortal" came into her heart.
The traces of black and yellow moral energy did not all fall on her, but a small amount of it entered the temple Zhu Qi Sanguang. At this time, Qi Sanguang also reacted and was quite confused.
Others fell towards Shen Lian. Shen Lian smiled lightly and waved his robe sleeves, and the traces of dark yellow disappeared.
——
The autumn wind is bleak, and the flood waves are rising. Shen Lian is on the upper reaches of the Chongqing River. The autumn water is swollen, and the red leaves are flying on both sides of the bank. It is a sad sight.
He pressed the sandalwood sword in his hand, and there was a trace of dark-yellow aura flowing on it, as if the whole body was made of a piece of warm topaz, slightly transparent.
That dark and yellow energy is also called merit.
The law of heaven is sovereign, with clear rewards and punishments. Shen Lian set up a Valley God for Yuguan to regulate the Qi of the mountains and rivers. Therefore, when the Valley God appears, there will be traces of black and yellow Qi flowing into the Valley God, and a small part of it will be separated and go to the Valley God. Shen Lian came.
Although Shen Lian knew the theory of merit, this was the first time he obtained it. The aura of merit is difficult to say and easy to say. It is nothing more than complying with the destiny and taking the initiative to participate in it.
However, things that comply with destiny often have big causes and effects, and it may not be beneficial or harmful if they are involved.
Shen Lian had previously consecrated the God of Grain. Originally, if any merit came, he would have received a small share of it. However, later on, the God of Grain was different from the deity he was consecrated to because he had the yang of yin, combined with incense, and transformed into a divinity.
Shen Lian's Fu Zhao was like a matchmaker, introducing the ghost of the loquat tree to the acquaintance of Chongqing River Lingji and Qi. Because of the birth of divinity, and the pure mind of the ghost of the loquat tree, it harmonized with the mountains and rivers. The two hit it off, and the God of Grain became The gods of this place are recognized by the mountains and rivers.
Therefore, Shen Lian only gained slightly more meritorious deeds than Qi Sanguang, and at the same time, he had almost no connection with Gushen. In the future, Gushen's malfeasance in his duties would not implicate him.
As for Qi Sanguang's ability to obtain meritorious deeds, it was only because his status as a temple blessing was recognized by the newly promoted Valley God, and he served as a bridge between gods and mortals.
Now that Shen Lian has taken care of the descendants of Master San Taoist, rescued Mr. Su's loquat tree, and given him a blessing, he feels much happier.
He vaguely felt that after doing this good deed, he had touched the realm of returning elixirs, but he seemed to have missed something. He could follow this feeling and forcefully break through, but it seemed there would be flaws.
Shen Lian suppressed his impulses, calmed down his emotions, and did not use his merits to deepen his cultivation, so he simply gave him the wooden sword.
It became what it is today.
Shen Lian whispered to himself: "I haven't given you a name for so many years, how about I just call you Xuande Jian?"
Xuande means virtue that is latent but not external. It is also the combination of Qingxuanzhixuan and meritorious virtues.
When Xuande Jian heard the name, he groaned in an ancient tone.
Shen Lian said: "You have to call me that even if you don't like it. Who calls me the master?"
The autumn wind blows on his face, and Shen Lian's mood is relaxed, not at all sad or sentimental because of the bleak autumn scenery.
Shen Lian feels that he can adapt to any environment, but what he likes most is to be alone, because he is not from this world. Even though he seeks immortality, he still feels alienated from the world.
This feeling did not subside as his cultivation deepened, but would appear from time to time.
Loneliness and loneliness seem to be sad, but sometimes this emotion does not make people negative, because there are no unnecessary disturbances, and they fall into a particularly transcendent tranquility.
It is different from meditating and becoming calm, and it is different from being calm between life and death. It can be described in one sentence, "originally there is nothing."
Shen Lian crossed the Chongqing River. The rushing river water had no impact on him. He kept walking to the west. He didn't know how far he walked. Shen Lian didn't even fully understand where the Killing Viewer was.
Unknowingly, I left the Great Zhou realm and truly arrived in the Western Wilderness.
Desolation does not mean desolation, but desolation.
If it was said to be deserted, why would there be anyone there? Then someone opened his voice and said, "The king asked me to patrol the mountain."
Shen Lian was awakened from the indescribable tranquility by this unpleasant singing voice.
He didn't have an epiphany, but his mind was much more relaxed. The singing disturbed him, but it couldn't make him feel angry.
Of course, the owner of the singing voice didn't seem to be planning to let him go, "Hey, that kid in front of me, stop right there." '
To be precise, the person singing is not a human being, but a person with the head of an animal and a human body.
This is a deer demon with little magic power. It can take on human form, probably because it was enlightened by the big demon.
The deer demon sniffed in the distance, picked up a steel fork, stepped forward and said, "Who are you? You have no human smell on your body, how come you look like a human being?"
The monsters in the Western Wilderness have a habit, that is, they like to eat people. In order to be able to eat people, they have developed a special skill, that is, every time they are hungry and want to eat people, they will smell it on the mountain. They can smell it. The scent of a human being dozens of miles away.
There is no human smell on Shen Lian's body, and the demon's sense of smell may not be the same as that of humans.
Shen Lian's body smelled of pure vegetation, which was not a good taste for a demon who was used to eating meat and fish.
There are always monsters who like to eat vegetarian food, but this one is definitely an exception.
Shen Lian smiled lightly and said, "I am just a human being."
The deer demon shook his head and said: "No, no, you are inhumane. How can you be a human? Don't try to lie to me."
Then he raised his head and glared angrily: "I guess you must have deliberately lied to me and wanted to make me embarrassed in front of the king. Because the king asked me to patrol the mountain and catch someone back to cook for the new distinguished guests."
Shen Lian suddenly remembered a saying, if this demon can die, it must be stupid.
