Chapter 6, this is the righteous deity

However, upon seeing it now, there is a sense of gratitude and reverence in my heart. One by one, they respectfully bowed their heads, offered incense, and then took a bowl, devouring it ravenously. They even licked the soup clean.

This is the deity observing us as we assist in repairing the temple, thus rewarding us with food

The top of this person's head radiates a clear and ethereal light, indicating that they are a person with spiritual insight

Wang Xiong, filled with indignation, said: "Father, take out the items for the village chief to see, so that he does not wrong an innocent person!"

Once the crowd dispersed and Zhao Cheng was able to sleep, he pulled Wang Da aside. Lowering his voice, he said: "Tell me, what exactly is going on with that deity? Could it be a trick by a ghost?"

Upon hearing this, a wave of hissing arose among the crowd. In their hearts, they felt an even greater sense of reverence and fear; such keen insight and clear distinction between reward and punishment were truly astonishing and daunting

"What exactly did you give them?" the village chief asked. "Do not forget, many years ago, that deity had indeed caused the death of people!"

However, after all these years, many of the roof tiles have become unusable. Therefore, a layer of thatch was added on top.

As all the villagers retreated, he remained there. At that moment, Liu Yi finally noticed him and was taken aback

It was not until the temple was completely repaired that the mist suddenly trembled and split apart. Liu Yi found himself in a room of about one zhang in size. Although the ground was still earthen, it had black tiles. There was a faint light, sufficient to shield from the wind and rain

The room measures over 1.3 meters, approximately 10 square meters in total. Although it is small, it is certainly an improvement compared to the previous situation of hiding among the deities.

Hiss ... ...

Nowadays, most of the houses where the villagers live have thatched roofs. However, the monk who established the temple back then invested a considerable amount of resources, not only ensuring that the rammed earth was solid, but also that the roof was covered with high-quality black tiles

Not too far away, but the mountain road is somewhat difficult to traverse. At the halfway up the mountain, there is a flat area overgrown with wild grass. There are three tiled houses, one of which has already collapsed

Liu Yi could see everything clearly within the statue. During the day, he was in a state of drowsiness inside the statue. He had been somewhat frightened yesterday, and his spirit had been somewhat damaged.

One person, one bowl, a total of fifty-three bowls. Only the last villager swallowed hard and went to take one, but it was completely empty

Upon hearing this, the villagers felt relieved. Under the direction of the village head, everyone worked together to tidy up both the interior and exterior of the shrine, completely clearing away all the weeds. They also set about repairing the roof tiles.

After today's events, it is highly likely that eight or nine out of ten of these villagers will become followers of their own.

This is a priceless treasure! The village chief no longer doubts Liu Yi's character. He solemnly said, "In my opinion, this could at least be exchanged for one million. Are you planning to sell this? Are you not seeking death..."

However, as these villagers began to offer incense, Liu Yi quickly regained his composure. Moreover, with the incense offerings and the entire temple being newly renovated, a miraculous transformation began to unfold around him

Wang Da, provoked by someone, disregarded the ancient adage that wealth should not be displayed. He returned home with the village head and took out a tall wine glass from a box under the bed

Here, it is evident that the two individuals are far more knowledgeable and experienced. Not only is the crystal cup completely clear and transparent, but its design is also exquisite, with the walls of the cup being as thin as paper. Its beauty is almost unbelievable, as if it were crafted by hand.

Never before has there been such extravagance, with an unceasing flow of incense and wishes, continuously surging in. All of it has been transformed by this summoning, turning into drops of divine power, akin to a white liquid.

The Wang family only knew that this crystal cup was valuable, but they never imagined it could be worth one million. They were so shocked that their jaws nearly dropped. In their entire lives, they had never seen what ten thousand looked like when placed together.

The villagers had mostly heard the story of the Wang family and their son, initially treating it as a joke. They had never encountered such a divine being, one who consumed incense as food. How could they possibly present any delicacies that had never existed in the human realm

Someone shouted: "This Chen San is slacking off at work, while we are working, he has gone to sleep under the shade of a tree!"

At that moment, an indescribable fragrance wafted in. Upon entering, someone was instantly stunned to see dozens of bowls of prepared instant noodles neatly arranged all over the floor

A strange fragrance they had never encountered before filled the air, causing a rumbling in their stomachs and an uncontrollable secretion of saliva.

On the second day, the villagers behind the mountain began to play music and make noise as they headed towards the shrine in the mountains

Chen San, feeling ashamed, was about to leave with his face covered by his sleeve. However, he was stopped by the village head, who laughed and said: "It's nothing much, Chen San probably caught a chill last night and is feeling a bit unwell. If you don't mind that I've eaten half of this bowl of noodles, feel free to take it and eat it!"

Upon taking a closer look, one could see that although the statue was terrifying, it emanated a small yet pure white divine light, measuring only a few inches in length. One could not help but exclaim: "This is a true deity!"

Wang Daxian showed signs of anger, but being a person of integrity and having received an education, he was well-read and knowledgeable. He was respected and admired by the villagers. Thus, he suppressed his anger and said: "That is a good deity..."

Originally, the sea of consciousness is merely a sea of awareness, not a physical entity. Threads of vapor seep out, resembling smoke and mist, which, under the transformation of incantations, are transformed into droplets of water.

Following the dense fog, it began to accumulate around Liu Yi, gradually expanding. It was as if a space composed of mist had emerged around him, no longer confined to the small clay idol.

"This is a manifestation of the divine!" someone exclaimed

This is divine power, transformed by the will of all beings, with every little bit possessing infinite strength

As the group entered, they felt an eerie atmosphere within the shrine. The deity's statue had a green face and sharp fangs, its appearance was terrifying. If it were not for the life-saving grace received the previous day, they would not have entered this temple under normal circumstances.

While gazing at the spiritual pool within the sea of knowledge, Liu Yi suddenly realized that he must wait for one hundred devotees to offer their worship in order for him to transform into a deity

This is the dojo! Liu Yisheng gained enlightenment, and his heart was filled with joy. He was no longer a wandering soul.

Chen San was overwhelmed with gratitude, and tears nearly welled up in his eyes

A small spiritual pool was created. Though it is called a spiritual pool, it is merely the size of a bowl, and soon it was filled with a thin layer at the bottom. However, upon closer inspection, it appears to be as vast as the ocean, containing countless beings within it

With many hands, the work is made light. By the time evening approached, the entire temple had been transformed. Both the interior and exterior had been coated with lime, giving it a completely new appearance.

Liu Yi suddenly had an epiphany; when this bowl-sized spiritual pool was completely filled, he would be able to undergo a transformation. He would truly embody a divine being, whereas now he merely occupied a position of incense and had only a small degree of spiritual power as a spirit.
