Chapter 3 Incense Offerings, Imperial Decrees to Immortals and Gods
Incense offerings?
New changes are emerging.
Chi Le's gaze sharpened.
Following the prompt, a panel appeared in front of Chi Le.
【Qingshan Temple】
Rank: One (Damaged)
[Building: Main Hall (Durability: 1/10)]
[Deity Included: Changxi Village Fortune God (Tier 1)]
Number of people eligible for protection: 1/1
Incense offerings: 2
[Note: Incense offerings can be used to elevate the status of Qingshan Temple, enshrine deities, repair damaged Qingshan Temple, and order the enshrinement of immortals and gods...]
[Requirements for the renovation of Qingshan Temple: 10 incense offerings]
Looking at the surroundings through the panel in front of him, Chi Le glanced at his surroundings.
A roof with holes, mottled mud walls, and a stone floor overgrown with weeds.
As the master of this temple, I feel that my own territory is rather shabby.
Attention eventually returned to the panel.
He did want to renovate this dilapidated Taoist temple.
However, the only two people who offered incense disagreed, and their attitude was very firm.
Bang bang bang!
The dark figure outside the door was still relentlessly banging on the wooden door.
It makes irregular sounds.
The main hall, which originally had 2 points of durability left, has now had 1 point worn down by the shadow.
The wooden door shook even more violently, and several holes even appeared.
It was as if the next impact would allow the shadowy figure to break through the barrier of the Taoist temple's main hall and enter the temple!
Chi Le looked up at the hole in the roof.
Because of the thick fog, he couldn't see what the sky looked like.
Personal items, such as his watch, did not come into this world with him.
He didn't know when dawn would break.
In other words, he didn't know how long the knocking of evil spirits and demons outside the door would continue.
He didn't know how long the remaining 1 point of durability in the main hall could last.
Chi Le glanced at Chen Hao subtly.
He had just received some information about the world from someone.
It's true that she can leave and return to her original world at any time, but to ignore Chen Hao's life or death is too cold-blooded.
Moreover, leaving evil spirits and demons outside unattended and allowing the Qingshan Temple to be damaged is not what he wants to see.
Without sufficient strength, the Green Mountain Temple, which can resist evil spirits and demons, is his greatest reliance so far.
We must deal with the shadowy figure outside the door!
After offering incense, Chen Hao returned to his original spot with his head down, but he keenly sensed that something was amiss in his surroundings.
The surrounding light white mist, like clouds, began to flow and change.
Like a still, stagnant pool of water, a pebble was thrown in at this moment, sinking straight to the bottom of the mud.
The fine silt churned and spread in the water.
A very ominous feeling welled up from the bottom of his heart.
Chen Hao's throat tightened, and all the muscles in his body tensed involuntarily.
The abbot seems to be in a bad mood?
An absurd thought arose in his mind.
Could it be that I did something wrong when I offered incense, which displeased the abbot?
Chen Hao quickly dismissed the thought, not daring to think about it further, for fear that he would be expelled from the temple by the abbot for this very reason.
He didn't want to face the dark figure outside the door.
Chen Hao had personally witnessed the cruel methods of the shadowy figure in the fog.
He cut open his abdomen, and all his internal organs were gone.
He was so badly mutilated that his body was completely torn apart!
You should know that the dead man's arm was as strong as one of his own legs.
He was known throughout the village for his strength and fighting ability.
Even when faced with evil spirits and demons lurking in the mist, their deaths are so gruesome.
His arms and legs are so thin that even demons and evil spirits would find him too skinny to fill their teeth.
The thought of the miserable state of his fellow villagers sent a chill down Chen Hao's spine, and he lowered his head even further.
Sitting upright in her chair, Chi Le noticed Chen Hao again.
"Judging from Chen Hao's reaction, the evil spirits and demons outside the door are probably not simple. Hmm, this is a tough one."
Chi Le thought about it, her gaze becoming somewhat serious.
Feeling the gaze from the abbot, Chen Hao noticed out of the corner of his eye that the pale white aura surrounding him was churning and shifting even more violently.
Chen Hao immediately trembled like a leaf, and cold sweat soaked through his clothes on his back.
If I can go back this time, I must ask the village elders how to properly offer incense at Qingshan Temple!
Chen Hao screamed inwardly, but dared not make the slightest movement with his body.
Too lazy to pay attention to the trembling Chen Hao, Chi Le was more annoyed by the dark figure outside the door.
If I were to smash my already dilapidated wooden door to pieces...
If the amount of incense needed to repair the Taoist temple increases, the consequences will be unbearable!
Even if the idea is tricky, we must solve it!
Of course, to deal with the shadowy figure, he certainly wouldn't have to do it himself.
It might scare Chen Hao, but if he were to face the shadowy figure alone in his current state, he would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den.
[Incense offerings] Besides repairing Qingshan Temple, there is another function that Chi Le wants to try.
[Imperial Edict to the Immortals and Gods]
[Currently, 2 incense points can be consumed to summon the God of Fortune of Changxi Village.]
"Imperial Edict"
It consumed the last 2 points of incense.
The clay statue of a deity behind them, whose face was obscured, suddenly emitted a faint golden light.
After gathering roughly at the forehead of the statue, it burst forth!
The complete mural of an old man with a cane, embedded in the corner of the wall, evoked a ripple-like reaction.
It's like fallen leaves floating on a mirror-like surface of water, creating ripples.
The next moment, a thin old man with a cane and a white beard stepped out of the painting and stopped in front of Chi Le.
The old man bowed slightly and greeted the elder respectfully.
Then, the old man stared at Chi Le with lifeless eyes, seemingly waiting for his next instruction.
"Kill it."
Chi Le wanted to see how powerful the deities appointed by the imperial edict were, and whether they could deal with the evil spirits and demons outside the gate.
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man slowly walked towards the door.
The dark figure outside the wooden door seemed to sense a threat and stopped ramming the door.
His eyes were fixed on the seemingly frail, thin old man with a cane inside the door.
Intuition was constantly giving it warnings.
Danger!
keep away!
The dark figure moved backward.
The dark figure took two steps back and then stopped.
Crimson eyes, like two fireballs hanging in the air, darted back and forth between the old man and Chen Hao.
Having temporarily distanced himself from the local earth god of Changxi Village, the desire for fresh flesh and blood began to erode the shadow's reason.
I want to eat!
The fear given by intuition and the greed given by the instinct of hunger are tearing each other apart.
The dark figure wandered around in place, neither moving away nor getting closer to the wooden door of Qingshan Temple.
Taking advantage of this break, the local earth god of Changxi Village, leaning on his cane, started walking.
The invisible barrier did not stop the old man as it had stopped the shadow.
The local earth god of Changxi Village crossed the threshold smoothly and left Qingshan Temple.
They saw the old man come out.
The dark figure stopped in its tracks, the crimson light flickering in its eye sockets freezing.
The battle between fear and greed within our very nature has come to an end.
Fear completely took over.
run!
In its remaining rationality, there was only this one thought.
Boom!
The local earth god of Changxi Village tapped his cane on the ground, producing a dull thud.
But the dark figure, which had already turned its head and started to move, suddenly stopped.
It's not that it doesn't want to leave.
Instead, beneath its body, several sharp earth spikes emerged from the ground, piercing its legs and torso.
Roar!
The shadowy figure let out a scream.
Its survival instinct drove it to constantly twist its body, trying to break free of the soil spikes.
But it was all in vain.
Boom!
The local earth god of Changxi Village struck his cane again.
Several more burrs quickly emerged, piercing the shadowy figure's body as easily as chopsticks poking into tofu.
One of them even pierced directly into the head of the shadowy figure.
The screams and struggles stopped.
The local earth god of Changxi Village turned around and walked back to Qingshan Temple.
After bowing respectfully to Chi Le, it transformed into a pale golden light and disappeared into the mural.
Whether it was Chi Le's imagination or not, the mural depicting the land god of Changxi Village seemed to have a slightly more vibrant color.
Chen Hao, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed, his face filled with shock that seemed to leap onto Chi Le's face.
No wonder he is like that.
Those are evil spirits and demons!
A terrifying thing that you try to avoid at all costs, a being that can easily tear you to pieces!
Now, it hangs there not far from the entrance of the Taoist temple, just like cured meat that has been skewered and hung on a bamboo pole to dry at home.
Most importantly, the "master" behind him sat in a chair the entire time.
He didn't even bother to take action himself, but simply summoned a figure from a painting.
I thought there would be a fierce battle no matter what.
He was worried about the thin old man and broke out in a cold sweat for him.
Judging from his appearance, he's probably not as healthy as I am.
Who would have thought that a casual flick of the cane would obliterate the evil spirits and demons!
But Grandpa Li next door does this all the time, so why doesn't he have the same effect?!
Chen Hao stared at Chi Le in shock.
What incredible divine power this is!
