Where the wind chimes sound, there is a god

Chapter 52: Temple Edict
White clouds rose, and the Moon God flew away, leaving behind only people kneeling in worship.

Chen Beimo landed on a nearby hill. As a believer, he needed to be mysterious and powerful, not kind. The more mysterious a god was, the more devout his believers would be.

The more unknown something is, the more awed people are.

But he couldn't just wave his hands and leave. After all, this was the initial stage of building faith, and he needed to watch it personally to avoid any trouble.

By the lake, Yuan Ze glanced at everyone, spit out his snake tongue and sniffed, then said: "There are unclean people among you. But they have done too few evil things, so they can't be eaten yet."

As soon as these words came out, everyone retreated in fear. Only Chen Hanrui bravely replied: "Snake Lord, we have to thank you for your care these days. If it weren't for your reputation, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to give birth safely.

If you have any instructions, we will do our best. "

"Really?" Yuan Ze laughed strangely, "If there are any extremely vicious people, just throw them into the lake for me to enjoy.

If I do not accept someone, then he is a good person. "

"Yes, I will keep the Snake King's teachings in mind." Chen Hanrui's heart trembled slightly, but she still forced herself to reply.

Yuan Ze smiled and moved closer to Chen Hanrui. His bloody red snake tongue moved beside her ear. He looked at her meaningfully, then turned around and swam into the lake.

The snake shadow disappeared, and everyone around the campfire gasped for breath, finally calming down from their shock. Although this night was extremely exciting and terrifying, it was also the most amazing night in their lives.

Chen Hanrui held the magic bell in her hand, like a symbol of authority, and she looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, you have heard what the priest and the snake king said just now. Starting tomorrow, we will build a village and a temple.

I am the temple priest, and I will temporarily act as the village chief. After the temple is built, we will find another village chief and three elders. Do you have any objections?"

Naturally, no one would come forward, and they all remained silent, which was considered as their agreement.

Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "Is this power?" All those who had always been dissatisfied with her no longer dared to make a sound.

"In that case, I will first arrange the construction of the temple which will start tomorrow.

We need to find mud, thatch, and large wooden beams..."

On a hill not far away, Chen Beimo was sitting quietly. With his eyesight and hearing, he could see even if it was dozens of feet away.

Behind him, a big snake broke through the bushes, coiled up and turned into a lovely beautiful snake.

"Yuan Ze pays respect to the Lord God!"

Chen Beimo didn't look back, but said calmly: "In the few months since I left, your intelligence has greatly increased and your speech has become fluent. It seems that you have practiced hard."

"Thank you for the praise, Lord God. I have indeed been practicing diligently and have never missed a single day." Yuan Ze bowed with a smile.

"How many people did he eat, and how much blood did he drink?" Chen Beimo's calm voice revealed a feeling that made people's spines chill.

Yuan Ze was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head. He only said, "Please forgive me, Lord God. I did eat some blood, but they were all treacherous and evil. I didn't kill innocent people."

The moonlight illuminated the ground. Chen Beimo was silent for a moment in the light and shadow, and then he said, "Forget it. Even if you did it, it's too late. The law of nature is clear, and the way of God is fair. You will definitely suffer in the future.

Get up. "

Although Yuan Ze had matured a lot mentally, he was still inexperienced and didn't quite understand what was said, so he just thought it was to spare himself.

"Thank you, Lord God!"

"It is difficult to practice the way of demon. Even if you have my protection, I am afraid that the road will be bumpy. So you should commit less murder and forgive others when you can." Chen Beimo warned.

If it was a disciple, he would never teach like this, but the one in front of him was a snake demon. If she was unkind to others, groups of people would die. Since she was naturally kind, he had to persuade her to be a little kind.

"Yes, I will remember it." Yuan Ze naturally agreed, and then asked: "May I ask you, Lord God, do you know how much I have achieved in Taoism, and when will I be able to achieve the true fruit?"

Chen Beimo had read many books on metaphysics and history, so his horizons were naturally broadened. He was no longer a rookie who knew nothing. He said carefully: "You cultivate the water of the abyss. The rivers are deep and the lakes are wide, and the water is deep and deep. Therefore, the force is strong and the water of the ghost soul can capture people's hearts.

If one follows the human race's method of cultivation, one must at least be a sixth-grade spiritualist to gather the energy in the dantian and combine it into a pill. Only a third-grade spiritualist can transform it into a human form and become a congenital Taoist body.

Today, you can only be regarded as a cultivator who has just entered the spiritual realm. However, with your powerful demon body and yin-deficient snake nature, you can be compared with an ordinary cultivator of the eighth or ninth rank.

If you continue to practice at your current pace, it will take at least three or four hundred years to achieve a human body."

"Three or four hundred years?" Yuan Ze opened his mouth wide when he heard this, "But my life span is less than three hundred years at most!"

Yuan Ze was a little terrified. According to this statement, he would never be able to cultivate the innate Dao body in his life, and there would be no way to become an immortal. He could only rely on searching for spiritual medicines and spiritual objects in the world, and refining them to enhance his cultivation.

But where are the spiritual objects in the world easy to find? If the God hadn't helped her with the spiritual peach tree last time, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to get close to the cave now.

The only thing she could rely on was to eat human blood! If she ate the blood of dozens or hundreds of people and refined it, she could increase her cultivation by several decades. If she ate thousands of people, even if the effect was greatly reduced, she could reach the transformation realm in a hundred years!
Yuan Ze's heart was getting more and more agitated, and even though the God gave her advice, she was hard to listen.

After all, the way to survive is right in front of you. Even if there are natural disasters or calamities, the chance to survive and practice to achieve enlightenment is right in front of you. The temptation of the great way is really irresistible for monsters without moral and ethical awareness.

Seeing the murderous aura gradually rising in her eyes, Chen Beimo shouted, "If you really do something cruel and kill innocent people, I will personally pluck out your heart and gall, and peel off your snake skin to make a piece of clothing."

Hearing this, Yuan Ze was startled and sobered up. He almost became possessed, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, little demon, I absolutely dare not."

"If you want to achieve the right result, you don't have to practice only one path, you can also achieve the way of God." Chen Beimo put away his indifference and said, "In the future, you will be a snake king under my seat, worshiping me day and night. There is a way for the immortals, and it is not a bad idea to become a priest."

"God?" Yuan Ze hesitated for a moment before asking, "But I am just a demon, so I am afraid I cannot seek the position of a god, right?"

The god she mentioned was naturally the position of a righteous god, not a small evil god in the countryside.

Chen Beimo shook his head and chuckled, “You cultivate the water of the abyss, and the source nourishes you, so you are the god of gold giving birth to water and the official who nourishes wood.

There is a saying in the Three Fates: People born in the sixth month of the lunar calendar see deep water, and when they meet Shenzi, they will be prosperous and produce gold. They must be well-known and successful, and the young master will enter the forbidden forest.

You already have water in your destiny, which means you are in charge of official positions. You also have gold in the water of Shen and Zi, which gives birth to water. Jia and Yi will naturally have energy. If you concentrate on cultivating yourself and nourishing your spirit, you can obtain this position of energy. "

Yuan Ze listened again and again, but he didn't understand the first part, but he did hear the second part. That is to say, her request for the right position of the god was supported by the law of heaven and earth and the gods of heaven and earth, and she could obtain the right position of the water god!
"The little demon thanks the Lord for his teachings!"

After she understood the general result, she was overjoyed and bowed down.

Chen Beimo waved his hand, "Go and practice well. You and I both still have a long way to go."

After Yuan Ze left, a black snake jumped out of his sleeve. Under the frosty light of the moon, the translucent black body of the snake was so beautiful that it was enough to arouse countless male and female snakes.

Beichen Jun crawled out, spit out his tongue, neighed towards the village at the foot of the mountain, and then wagged his tail at him in dissatisfaction.

Chen Beimo glanced sideways and asked with a smile: "Why? You also want to be a snake king and show off your power?" Beichen Jun shook his head and pretended to roar, and actually let out a low roar.

This roar is fundamentally different from the hissing of snakes, which means that it is really not a pure snake.

Chen Beimo looked at it carefully with some surprise. The ink-black scales tightly wrapped around the graceful and slender snake body. There was also a pattern similar to a seven-star array pattern imprinted on the center of the snake's eyebrows, which would have been overlooked if you were not careful.

The most important thing is that Beichen Jun’s round head has become a little oval at this moment. If you look closely, you will find that it no longer looks like a snake’s head.

"When did you change like this?"

Beichen Jun raised his head and roared proudly. The sky was covered with dark clouds and the moon was hidden. Only the seven stars in the north were shining brightly.

"Is this the legendary dragon transformation?" Chen Beimo wondered, "Don't they say that a snake will turn into a python after a hundred years, and a python will turn into a python after another hundred years...

How many years has it been?"

No, he seemed to have overlooked the fact that Beichen Jun might be a stone snake. If this stone was passed down from ancient times, the era recorded by the Wang family was thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago, so Beichen Jun might have accumulated strength in the ancient stone for tens of thousands of years?
Beidou?
Chen Beimo looked up at the deep night sky. The six gods were in charge of the changes in the stars. He didn't dare to speak falsely in case he might arouse the magical powers of some immortal.

However, if it gets involved with the stars, I am afraid it will inevitably be linked to the Six Gods Division.

That night, Chen Beimo on the top of the mountain vaguely sensed the blending of vitality and yin and yang in the village, and was afraid that many lonely people would be disturbed by the noise from next door.

And this is naturally the influence of Beichen Jun.

The black snake looks at the moon, standing in the upper position, with the moon and the yin converging. The snake is like a dragon and its color is black, which represents the birth of sex and can trigger the confluence of yin and yang.

Fortunately, Chen Beimo was not affected by it, otherwise it would not be a good thing.

Little did he know that Yuan Ze at the bottom of the lake was also affected by this energy. Even the cold lake water could not suppress the ripples in her heart, and she had no choice but to fall asleep.

On the second day, as the morning light rose, countless golden threads fell from the grass and trees onto the soil. Clouds rose and slowly floated across the sky, and the people of Yunze Village began to work.

Some were transporting soil, some were cutting wood, some were searching for things in the mountains, and the women were making prayer flags or drawing simple pictures to be used to decorate the temple after it was built.

To the northeast of Lingze Lake, a temple is slowly being built.

Chen Beimo did not interfere with them, nor did he give them too much help. Digging mud, burying soil, cutting wood and transporting wood, countless hard work were completed bit by bit by these people. This temple will be built by the believers themselves. Every piece of mud and every place of land will be leveled and built by them.

Only in this way can faith become purer and belief stronger.

Nearly a hundred people worked for more than ten days before this simple Water Official Temple took shape. It would still take some time before it was completed.

However, Chen Beimo did not have much time to wait. During the past ten days, he practiced while watching the bits and pieces of power of faith floating from the magic bell. Finally, he had the basic power of the gods.

When the believers recite, the wind chimes ring, and he can sense what the believers are asking for.

Now I am lacking divine power, and cannot use any magic. The only magic I can use is the first one, which is to invite you into a dream.

When using divine power to sense the dreams of believers, it can be shown that all the things said in the dreams are remembered.

That night, Chen Beimo rang the magic bell, and the sound of the bell was carried into the dreams of Chen Hanrui and a dozen villagers by the wind.

In the dream, Chen Beimo wore a water official's concubine on his head, and in front of him stood two snake kings, one green and one black. Clouds rose from under his feet and the sky was bright. He told them that at noon tomorrow, he would manifest a temple and command the gods to appear, so they should make preparations early.

That night, Yunze Village was in a state of unrest, with many people being awakened and running around.

When the sky gradually turned pale and the morning light gradually brightened, the area in front of the Water Official Temple made of mud and wood was already filled with people.

From the elderly to young children, men, women, young and old were all there.

Chen Hanrui changed into a light blue robe. Although it was not new, it was washed very cleanly. Everyone looked at her with eager eyes.

After all, the time to witness a miracle has come, and with the protection of the gods from now on, their lives will get better and better.

Chen Hanrui raised her palm, and the crisp sound of a bell rang in the morning breeze and reached everyone's ears. She said solemnly: "The whole Yunze Village relies on the mercy and protection of the God to survive.

Today we build a temple and burn incense, praying to the Water God to descend to the world and teach us the common people. We humbly hope that the God will guide all the people and send down miracles from heaven!
kneel!
bye! "

Everyone knelt down in unison as ordered, and then worshiped the statue of the deity in the temple whose face was covered with a red cloth.

"Goodbye!"

"Three thanks!"

Everyone followed the etiquette again.

Chen Hanrui inserted three incense sticks on the table filled with offerings. The incense in the simple incense burner burned, and wisps of green smoke rose up and drifted into the clouds with the wind.

Seeing that there was no sign of abnormality, Chen Hanrui could not help but feel anxious, so she said, "Follow me to pay homage to the God.

Please have mercy on me, Lord God!"

The villagers behind him immediately followed and bowed and shouted, "Please have mercy on me, Lord God!"

One after another, the sound of pious prayers rose into the sky along with green smoke. The magic bell in Chen Beimo's hand also shone brightly with golden light, absorbing the power of incense and faith.

Chen Beimo then revealed the clouds, and thick fog rose. The vast fog covered the surrounding sky and earth and disappeared. Only the people and a water official temple in front of them remained.

Everyone was amazed and saw fish and shrimps swimming in the fog. In the sky, there were faint fog dragons and fog snakes passing over their heads.

The red cloth in the temple was also blown away by the wind, revealing the true appearance of the statue.

In the clouds above the temple, Chen Beimo stood solemnly, with a pretty female snake and a huge black python standing in front of him. They were the Yuanze Snake King and Chen Beichen Snake King standing on both sides of the statue in the temple.

Chen Beimo's magic energy contained sound, and the ethereal sound like that of immortals resounded.

“Now I manifest the temple, the statues are my eyes, the wind is my ears, and I observe and listen to the appearance of all living beings in the nine-layered sky.

Couples in this world are destined to be lonely and widowed. They will suffer from punishment and extinction. This is because they did not do good deeds in their previous lives. They will suffer this in this life. If there are good men and women who enjoy quietness in the morning and evening, bathe, burn incense, light lamps and recite sutras, practice fasting and give alms, their reputation will spread all over the world. In the past and present lives, they deliberately did things wrongly. They are all grievances. They will turn into eyes and money, cheat people of money and property, and turn into animals. If there are good men and women who are willing to give money, fast and bathe, and recite this sutra, they will not be punished. Pray for blessings and blessings will come. Misfortunes will be eliminated.

Now I am passing on the precious edict. Those who recite my sutras will receive my protection!"
