Chapter 204: Eat a lot but don’t get fat
Is the incense burner empty?

Zuo Qing and the elders of the Zuo family who were outside the temple were also shocked at this moment.

What is going on? What exactly happened?
why?
The temple keeper is also a trustworthy elder of the Zuo family. He is a dignified sixth-level realm lord and is responsible for guarding the temple in the core area of the Zuo family. But he doesn't understand what's going on now.

The incense burner filled with Cangzhou's incense now looks as empty as a piece of rice that has been eaten by insects. It looks full and round on the outside, but in fact it will shrink if you pinch it and turn into powder if you rub it. It can't become rice when cooked, but soup. It's just an empty shell that looks terrible!
It's really hard to imagine what happened to cause this to happen.

Stolen?
Who stole it?
Anyway, no matter what, the fact that the incense burner in front of them had turned into worm-eaten rice and hollow loofahs would not change. Zuo Qing and several elders did not have time to think about why they were so weak.

Someone must be playing tricks!

Block this place first!
Zuo Qing used magic and several clan elders immediately took action!

But at this moment, the ground of Zuo's house suddenly collapsed.

In the Zuo family's garden, the 'golden body', the array of golden bodies and gods composed of countless incense sticks, collapsed at this moment!

"what happened?"

"Ok?"

"Wow...you still have this hand?"

Outside, the spectators who saw the Zuo family's formation suddenly turned to ashes all gave their comments.

Among them, Shui Cangcang frowned.

The Shui family ancestor tapped the table lightly: "Divine will? The will of a demon? What demon? How can we not see it? We can't even sense it?"

On the other side, the "Pantheon" of the Zuo Family Ancestral Hall collapsed at this moment.

Although no one knew why, people with discerning eyes had already recalled what had just happened.

Just now, meteors left by the fallen gods streaked across the sky, and some of them fell over the Zuo family. One of them was about to smash into the protective formation.

At that time, Zuo Qing took the initiative to reach out and cut open the formation, creating a gap and taking in the fragment of a god. (See Chapter 201 for details)
At that time, no one thought there was anything wrong. Zuo Qing just showed everyone the state of mind of a god after his fall.

But actually, there was also a rat that went in at that time.

It's just that no one saw it.

Shu Jian was just sighing at his luck and thinking about how to get in when Zuo Qing cut a hole himself, and he crawled in openly and rustlingly.

Luckily, no one saw him.

And what happens after you climb in?
Of course...eat.

You know, as of now, the foundation of this entire formation is the 'Golden Body of Incense'.

The so-called golden body of incense is essentially to use the smell of incense, combined with some special methods, through the technique of "gilding" to condense a layer of gold on the body surface.

This layer of gold gas, above the floating dust, is not subject to wear and tear. It preserves the neutral gas, cultivates the true form of the gold liquid, nourishes the jade talisman's original body, and finally produces a layer of 'skin shell' that is soundless, colorless, odorless, tasteless, and untouchable.

Yes, the essence of the golden body of incense is actually a layer of gold paint painted on the outside, which will not affect the inside. The dark gold layer can isolate the outside world, produce extremely strong defense, and to some extent can increase physical strength, and the increase is quite large.

The method of making and applying this kind of thing is called the "incense method".

But no matter what, this mysterious thing actually has a basis, and that basis is the "gold energy".

Metal has the properties of "aggregation and solidity".

Wood is called bending and straight, fire is called burning and rising, earth is called farming, metal is called following and changing, water is called moistening and descending; these are the properties of the five elements.

Cong means to obey; Ge means to get rid of, reform, and change. Gold has the characteristics of being soft and hard, changing, and killing. Gold represents the properties of solids. After everything grows, it will reach a solidified state, and gold is used to represent its solidity. It is extended to mean killing, descending, astringing, and cleaning. All things or phenomena with such properties can be attributed to "gold".

This is also the reason why the Dharma body formed by the aroma of incense is called the "golden body of incense".

And these are what hamsters like to eat the most.

Who remembers? What is the fundamental practice of Rat Mountain? What are they best at?
It's 'Eating Gold Qi'. (See Chapter 128 for details)
The mouse's front teeth gnaw on the gold energy, crush it into pieces and then refine it into the lungs. When it is needed, the gold energy can be exhaled. A breath of Gengjin energy is like a rain of flying swords.

Instead of refining it into the lungs, you should refine it into the hair on your body, so that you can resist attacks.

What is Shu Jian's nickname?
He had said it since the first time he met Gao Jian.

His self-introduction at that time was: "My dear friend, I am the elder of Baishan Jiangshu Mountain, my name is Shu Jian, and people give me the nickname Golden Rat!!!" (See Chapter 27 for details)

At that time, why did Shu Jian come to contact Gao Jian?
The reason is very simple, that is, it is not the first time that Shu Jian has seen someone chosen by Li Zuofang.

Shu Jian and Shushan are actually forces planted by Li Zuofang in Cangzhou. The reason why Shushan has been able to survive until now under the oppression of various parties and even maintain a certain degree of autonomy is actually because of the support from the capital Yangjing.

Li Zuofang said that he had little control over Cangzhou, but he still cultivated a large force like Shushan in the local area as an extension of his control over Cangzhou.

Shu Jian felt that Gao Jian was a bit pitiful, so he came to remind him not to go to Cangzhou to die.

Many people have gone to Cangzhou to die, although they have different names, and Gao Jian's name is particularly big.

He is the only one among thousands of people in these years who went to Cangzhou under the name of "Li Zuofang" in the true sense, which shows how much Li Zuofang values him.

So Shu Jian went to find Gao Jian and showed up on his own initiative, hoping that Gao Jian would not go to Cangzhou and live a good life.

Needless to say, what happened after that.

Gao Jian has created miracles time and again, defeating the strong with the weak, and even went to the East China Sea to find a top helper like Jingjiang Jun. Although Li Zuofang also helped him, if Li Zuofang could have found him at the beginning, he would have done it long ago!
He just helped Gao Jian, but the whole thing, from the beginning to the end, was done by Gao Jian himself. Even Li Zuofang didn't expect this. He just found out that Gao Jian had done something big, and he immediately chose to follow up with his keen sense of smell. In the end, he tied Jingjiang Jun to Li Zuofang's layout in Cangzhou through Gao Jian's relationship.

And now, with the help of Jingjiang Jun, Li Zuofang finally has a qualified and usable high-end combat force, and this high-end combat force has played a significant role at this moment.

Jingjiang Jun held the front line, and Shu Jian could play out Li Zuofang's initial positioning of Shushan.

Why did Li Zuofang support Shushan?
It’s very simple, and I think everyone has figured out the reason.

Rat Mountain naturally restrains incense and golden statues!

I'm fucking eating!
The rat was eating the golden statue of incense crazily, gnawing at it continuously!

Long, long ago, when Li Zuofang first started to support the Shushan forces, he had already considered this point. It was only because there was not enough power to fight against the high-end combat power of the Zuo family that Shushan temporarily hibernated! Jingjiang Jun has made up for this now. The time is ripe. Under the command of Gao Jian, the knife-wielding man, he launched an offensive to restrain the Zuo family.
All the preparations have been confirmed here!
You, the Zuo family, have your own little plans and feel that you are using your insights to integrate internal conflicts.

Isn't that Gao Jian? Gao Jian is taking advantage of this bait that popped up when you were integrating the internal conflicts, and taking the opportunity to seize the Zuo family's weak spot!

Use the opponent's trick on him, use the opponent's trick on him, everyone use the opponent's trick on each other.

Then take a look...

Whoever it is, he must be at a higher level!

Shu Jian gnawed very quickly.

Devour the golden body and teach you to return to your true form of mud!
What is the immortal golden body of incense? If your cultivation level is not at the seventh level, it is no different from candy beans in Shu Jian's mouth!
It’s a great tonic. It’s really a great tonic!
I usually don’t dare to eat it because if I eat it I will be beaten to death by the Zuo family.

But now, after consuming so much golden energy, Shu Jian felt like he was going to die of pleasure!
His cultivation, his foundation, and his physical body were all filled with incense and golden body at this moment. Even though he was a natural alien species in the seventh realm, this improvement was astonishing.

No, it’s better to say that, precisely because he is an alien species, his progress is actually very slow. It is simply unbelievable that he can have such progress!
The golden body and golden energy condensed from more than 30% of the incense in Cangzhou every year turned into food for the rats!
There was a fierce fight outside and no one cared about him inside, which directly led to Shu Jian's wonderful buffet at this moment.

This is completely different from Gao Jian's plan.

But why plan the same?
There is more than one way to solve a problem, and everyone's behavior is different, just like every player who plays a game, some complete it and some quit, and among those who complete it, their methods of completing it are all different.

Gao Jian will understand.

Just as Shushu was eating frantically, an elder of the Zuo family suddenly discovered something.

He stretched out his hand.

Magical power unfolds!

Magical power: picking stars.

The magical power comes from a wizard of the eighth realm!
The star-picking squadron in the sky, the green bull crossing the pass. A new courtyard of Penglai appears in fantasy, with bamboos outside the flowers and mountains beside the bamboos.

If the emperor comes, it is the hardest thing to have leisure in life, and it is impossible to have leisure in the world. The gods will take half of it first, and leave the other half for you.

This is a great magical power that can pick stars, and its purpose is to capture the "star officials"!
Although this magical power has not actually captured the celestial god "Star Official", there are legends circulating about it.

According to the famous immortal gate "Legendary Building", there is indeed a story about "picking stars". (For details of the Legendary Building, see Chapter 152)
In the past, there was a practitioner who invented the magical power of picking stars. When he tried it for the first time, he stretched out his hand, reached into his sleeve, and then placed the object on the table. It was as dark as stone, but at night it would shine brightly and illuminate the walls.

He hid it, and whenever he had guests, he would take it out to light the way for them to drink.

This thing is made of the energy of heaven and earth. It shines brightly. If you look directly at it, you will be blinded by the rays of light.

One night, his wife was sitting opposite him, holding her hair, when she suddenly saw the star gradually become smaller like a firefly, moving and flying. His wife was just beginning to feel surprised, but then she saw that the star stone had entered her mouth, and she could not spit it out, but had actually swallowed it.

His wife ran in surprise and found him. He was also full of surprise. Then she fell asleep and fell asleep. In her dream, a spirit came and said, "I am the star Shaowei. My life was shortened because of the loss of a virtue by my ancestors. I will never forget your kindness. And I am blessed to be brought back by heaven. It can be said that we are destined. Now I am your heir to repay your kindness."

This man happened to be childless, so he was very happy to have this dream. His wife was pregnant, and when she gave birth, the room was filled with light, like stars on the table, so he was named "Xing'er". He was very alert.

So he passed on his magical power, and there came into being a magical power in the world, called "Picking Stars".

But apart from him, no one else can really pick a star, or even pick a "star official".

But this does not prevent Picking Stars from being a great magical power that requires extremely high levels of cultivation to master.

If you can't pick the stars, you can always pick a mouse.

Under such great magical power... the mouse who was eating suddenly felt the hair on his body stand up!
Run!

----------

And on the other side.

When Gao Jian was wielding his sword to command, he found that the backup from Shushan had not arrived yet.

He immediately realized that there was a change in his plan.

But he didn't panic.

After all, there are bound to be variables. No matter how arrogant he is, he would not think that he can plan everything out in such a large-scale battle where the Nine Realms take action and there are 20,000 to 30,000 practitioners or even gods joining in the fight.

Therefore, there will definitely be variables that he cannot calculate. Whether it is Jingjiang Jun or Shushan, they are not easy to deal with and have their own opinions. It is impossible for him to completely control them.

But it doesn't matter.

Accept the change and go with the flow.

At times like this, what is tested is tacit understanding and trust.

There are always some leaders who regard suspicion as a talisman and narrow-mindedness as a scepter. They are like trapped beasts in a glass cover. They are overly sensitive to any disturbance in the outside world and suspicious of the slightest changes within the organization.

Such people, when faced with external pressure, often fall into the abyss of self-destruction.

External pressure is like a magic mirror that exposes the fatal weaknesses of narrow-minded leaders. This stress response not only fails to resolve the crisis, but will exacerbate internal turmoil.

Doomsday often begins with self-isolation. The more suspicious you are, the more support you will lose; the more narrow-minded you are, the more you will be alienated by your friends and relatives. This process of self-isolation is actually a chronic suicide, which will eventually lead to the collapse of the entire alliance.

In the face of pressure, only by trusting at the most dangerous moment can we
Gao Jian believes that he is the weaker party, so at this time... he must trust and not doubt Shushan.

Suspicious people are not broad-minded enough and cannot tolerate risks. Instead, they will push others away from themselves.

So, even though Gao Jian was in great danger at the moment, he still chose to tolerate and trust.

"Your support didn't come?" Zuo An had already realized the reason why Gao Jian didn't respond to that posture just now.

"Then you're dead. The test is over." Zuo An breathed a sigh of relief.

It was confirmed that Gao Jian had no backup plan.

Then you can open the first trump card, and after opening it, kill Gao Jian.
