The city guarding god holding a copper mace was staring at Li Yi in shock at this moment.
I thought that the person who rushed into Xinzhou City was a mountain Taoist who had no documents and had no way to guide him. He planned to give him a few maces to let him know the power and drive him out of here, but unexpectedly, a bronze mace would force the opponent's dragon and tiger aura out.
As one of the city guards of Xinzhou City and the righteous god enthroned by the court, he still has some insights.
The energy of dragon and tiger is also called the energy of emperor.
Only the emperor is qualified to have it, and of course it is not ruled out that some princes also have such aura.
"You, how could you have the emperor's aura of a dragon and tiger on you? Who are you?"
The city guard retreated in shock. He no longer dared to wave the copper mace in his hand. This was not just because of the other party's identity, but the silver-colored tiger was staring at him at this moment.
If he swung his copper mace again, the silver tiger would definitely pounce on him and swallow him.
"I am just a practitioner who travels around the world. There is nothing special about it. You have taken action just now, but I don't care about it because of your responsibility. If you come again, I won't be polite. If you take action, you won't be serious. If you kill you, don't blame me."
Li Yi didn't want to get too entangled with the city guarding god, so he still strides forward.
The face of the God of Warden at this moment did not change. He held the copper mace in his hand, but he did not dare to take action anymore, so he could only watch him enter the city.
A Taoist holds the aura of dragon and tiger that only the emperor has. Such an outrageous thing is not something he can do with, but he only has a city guardian. This matter must be reported and let others deal with it. You should not get involved.
Thinking of this, the city guardian god immediately left his post and turned into a ray of blue smoke and flew towards the City God Temple in the city.
Li Yi raised his eyes and saw the wisp of blue smoke, but he did not stop him. As long as the other party did not come and provoke him, he would not mind blowing all these monsters and monsters into ashes with a mouthful of Hu Feng.
After entering the city, he found that the power of faith in this world was really everywhere.
Through a wine shop, Li Yi saw a divine throne enshrined in the wine shop, with three incense sticks inserted next to it. Although the divine throne was very old, it was shining brightly in his sight, with spiritual energy gathering. In addition, there was also the blessing of incense belief.
It can be seen that there is really a god in that position, but God is not here.
He also saw two stone lions placed in front of a mansion. The stone lion was blessed by the power of faith. Over time, he was spiritual and watched the people coming and going on the street. Anyone who dared to break into the mansion privately would be bitten by the two lions.
The longer the mansion is prosperous, the stronger the power of the stone lion will manifest. On the contrary, if the mansion is defeated and the population is small, the power of the stone lion will also decline and eventually become an ordinary person.
"Although the stone lion did not accept incense, it received the blessing of faith. The stone lion was placed there. The people on this mansion subconsciously felt that the stone lion could shock ghosts and evil spirits. Over time, faith was attached to it, and the stone lion was really spiritual and had the ability to conquer the house."
"There is no God in this world. When there are too many people who believe in it, there will be God. Whether a lion can keep a house and whether the statue of a god will protect people depends on people's beliefs. If they believe, there will be, and if they don't believe, there will be no. Therefore, the power of incense and belief is both a kind of power and a kind of constraint. Once others don't believe it, then the belief collapses and everything will no longer exist."
Li Yi walked on the street and felt enlightened.
"If you want ordinary people to believe that everything must first take its shape. The lion is majestic, so it can help the house. If it were a cat, the shape would be a big difference, and people would not believe that cats can help the house, and beliefs would be difficult to gather, so the shape should be consistent with the image."
"The statue of the god in the land temple was destroyed by a silver lightning bolt from me. It is because the image is gone and the faith is gone. People will believe in a statue of god, not a pile of soil. Although the essence of both is the same, the soil has no shape, so it cannot form an image or gather incense belief. The statue of god is processed and shaped by people and possesses the image of the land god, so people believe that the statue of god can protect themselves, so the statue of the clay possesses the power of the land god."
"The same is true for the Emperor. All the people believe that the Emperor is the son of a true dragon, so the Emperor will naturally have the aura of dragon and tiger. If the Emperor's image is gone, then the belief collapses and the fate will be like the Land God."
"So, people in this world, gods, or emperors all need to maintain their image. I saved that woman before, and those of Lao Liu believed that I was a master who could save people, so I gained their faith power. When I was in the temple before, they suspected that I was a demon from the mountains and wild monsters."
"No wonder the city guarding god is unwilling to let Taoist people enter the city. There are many people in the city. If I use spells to cure diseases and save people, I can easily gain the faith of all people. In a short period of time, my strength will increase rapidly. The local city god must not sit idly by and let the power of incense faith be stolen by a wild Taoist. This is no different from rushing into the bank to grab money."
"Wait, I haven't read any books, why did I have such an understanding?"
But Li Yi suddenly realized that something was wrong with him and was able to understand these principles of practice.
But soon.
However, he noticed his abnormality, and saw an illusory crystal bud appearing on top of his head. It was the flower of the soul planted by Xiang Xiangzi in his body.
Obviously, this understanding is not Li Yi’s own, but from Xiang Xiangzi.
As the top practitioner of Taoism at the Sanhua Realm, Xiang Xiangzi's understanding and talent are naturally extraordinary. Otherwise, she would not have become one of the seven fairies of the Heavenly Dao Sect and mastered the three top Taoism methods.
"If I build a statue of Xiang Xiangzi in this world and is worshipped by incense, then Xiang Xiangzi doesn't even need to wait until I break through the Three Flower Realm and her soul can recover and wake up again. If I continue to calculate, can I leave a ray of the power of the soul in the statue and use the power of incense to nurture the second soul?" Many thoughts came to Li Yi's mind.
He felt that this world of incense became a god has endless potential, and it would be amazing if it could be turned into its own use.
"So, still want to rebel?"
Li Yi scratched his head. If you want to monopolize the power of the belief in this world, there is no other way than to rebel and become an emperor, because as long as you sit on the dragon throne, the beliefs of the people in the world will automatically bless themselves. It doesn’t matter whether you are Li Yi or Tai Yi, or Da Yi.
The people only recognize the emperor, not your identity.
This is the power of image.
If Li Yi really became the emperor, then he only needs to maintain his image as an emperor without collapse, and the power of incense can continue to flow. At that time, his practice will not be a thousand miles a day.
"But the power of incense has great flaws. Once the belief collapses, my fate will be as miserable as the land god. Therefore, the power of incense is false and not real. What I have to do is to use false cultivation and the power of incense to cultivate one's own power. Even if I leave this world in the future, the lack of incense will not affect myself."
Li Yi became more and more aware of it.
Xiang Xiangzi's primordial flower is really easy to use and is very suitable for a martial artist like him who has no culture, otherwise he would not have come up with such an excellent idea.
So he doesn't want to use the great method of collecting qi in the world. He absorbs the spiritual energy in the world. Now he has only one purpose, that is, to create incense and gather beliefs.
Because relying on one's own practice is too slow, borrowing incense to achieve enlightenment is the shortcut.
In Xinzhou City, there were crowds of people and people traveling around. Although there were strange ghosts and ghosts in remote places outside the city, in such a big city, there were still flowers and brocade, like fire cooking oil.
Li Yi saw a lot of scarce things along the way.
He saw someone selling centipedes on the roadside, a black and red centipede as thick as an adult's arm, nearly two meters long, looking hideous and terrifying.
However, this centipede is very popular and has been bought by many people.
Finally, it was bought by a wealthy businessman at a high price. After buying it, he cut open the back of the centipede with a knife in public and took out a bead the size of a thumb.
"It's rising, it's rising, and I've really gambled on the centipede bead." Some people exclaimed, while others regretted that they didn't add more money to buy it.
"It's really out of the way. It seems that I'm lucky."
The rich businessman was very happy and bought a brocade box and packed the bead. At the same time, he gave the centipede to the dealer who caught the centipede and asked him to sell it to the pharmacy for some money to exchange for it as a lottery ticket.
Li Yi stood aside and listened for a while before he knew what was going on.
It turns out that this kind of centipede has become a spirit. If you catch it, you can take out a bead from behind if you are lucky. It is called the centipede bead, also known as the Dingfeng Pill.
People who catch centipedes dare not gamble, for fear of losing money, so they sell it for money to let rich businessmen gamble beads.
"These things are similar to the treasures of the four seas and continents." Li Yi said in his heart: "The world is quite rich in spiritual energy, and the treasures of the four seas and continents are definitely more precious than those of the four seas and continents. Moreover, many people are very knowledgeable about the treasures of the mountain and continents and are not unfamiliar with them. Most people know that there is a probability that the centipede will be bred."
Then he walked a while and saw someone selling three toads. The three toads were covered with mosquitoes and flies and maggots, which looked very disgusting.
But it seems that the seller deliberately sold the toads with maggots.
A passing traveler doctor walked by. After seeing this, he immediately became interested and asked the toad seller about the price. Finally, he took out a lot of money and bought a toad with maggots.
"Doctor, what's the use of buying a toad with maggots?" Li Yi couldn't help asking curiously.
The doctor who traveled to see Li Yi dressed up as a Taoist, immediately saluted respectfully: "The Taoist priest is polite, the Taoist priest doesn't know that this toad with maggots is a rare good medicine. Because the toad is poisonous, the flies and worms will not fall after death, otherwise they will be poisoned to death. However, there are always some exceptions after death. They are bitten by flies and worms and have maggots. Just like this, I took them back and mashed them into plasters for special treatment."
Speaking of the latter, the traveling doctor stopped. He smiled and was unwilling to disclose the symptoms he had treated, for fear of ejaculation of the prescription.
"So that's it. Thank you for your answer." Li Yi nodded without asking any more questions.
After a few polite words, the traveling doctor did not stay for a long time and left in a hurry. It was obvious that he went to find a pharmacy to match the plaster.
