Spiritual energy resurgence? My former empress wife has also revived!

In Sichuan Province, a famous temple is built on a mountain, attracting a constant stream of worshippers.

Recently, the number of worshippers at the temple has increased, and some worshippers even stay on the mountain after offering incense, occupying the entire mountain and even negotiating with the government to demand various privileges.

"Holy crap, are these guys crazy?!"

A police officer who came to maintain order gasped as he looked at the abrasions on his arm.

"Xiao Zhang, are you alright?"

The veteran police officer asked with concern.

"Captain Wang, I'm fine. It's just a superficial injury. I'll just put some medicine on it when I get back."

"I was a little careless because that person looked so thin; I didn't expect him to be so strong."

Xiao Zhang moved his injured arm.

He glanced up the mountain a few more times, then hesitated and said, "Captain Wang, wasn't it said that after these religious fanatics occupied the temple, no food was ever transported inside?"

"It's been so many days, can they really go without food and water for so long? Are they really going to take over the mountain and become kings?"

Captain Wang shook his head and said, "Who knows? That temple is a bit eerie. You might not know, but before the incident, one of the officers from another team went to the temple to resolve some disputes."

"But after he entered the temple, he also became a fanatic. His team leader and members all said that the man did not believe in Buddhism at all, but after entering the temple, he became a fanatical Buddhist believer."

Xiao Zhang clicked his tongue and said, "That's so weird?"

"Yes, so the higher-ups have told us to stay here and try not to go in, saying they'll wait for professionals to handle it."

"Professionals? We're police officers, aren't we professionals?"

Just as the two were talking, a fleet of light armored vehicles arrived at the foot of the mountain, from which emerged fully armed police officers.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Zhang and Captain Wang exchanged a glance, utterly astonished.

A leader walked over and said to them, "Comrades, please move away. This area has been taken over by us."

Xiao Zhang tentatively asked, "Boss, why have so many people been sent over?"

The armed leader hesitated for a moment, but then said without hiding anything, "Some fanatics recently stormed government offices in Sichuan Province."

"According to the investigation, those people have all been to this temple. We were ordered to surround the temple and not allow anyone inside to come out, until professionals come and handle the matter."

Following the leader's gaze, Xiao Zhang and Team Leader Wang finally saw the so-called professionals.

Those people were also dressed neatly, looking like a special squad.

The special team leader gave a few instructions, and several team members volunteered to take their weapons and equipment up the mountain path.

Xiao Zhang noticed that these people were going up the mountain at an extremely fast speed, far exceeding that of normal people.

Zhang was stunned by what he saw. Even special forces wouldn't have this kind of speed, right?

After an unknown amount of time, the leader of the special forces team who had not yet gone up the mountain began to feel uneasy. He took out his walkie-talkie to make contact.

Not long after, the squad leader walked up to the armed police leader, his face grim, and said, "Completely seal off this mountain and absolutely do not allow the people in that temple to come down."

"It has been authorized from above that if anyone defies orders and refuses to listen, shooting is permitted!"

"Our team members, after entering that temple, inexplicably became fanatical Buddhists as well."

"One of our members has a strong spirit and held out for a while, which is why he sent out the intelligence. This place is very strange. Our branch of the Administration Bureau is too weak to handle it."

Xiao Zhang vaguely heard their conversation, only hearing words like "Management Bureau" and "Soul," but he still didn't know what exactly happened.

……

Western suburbs of the capital, the Yuanshi Daluo Sect—

The old Taoist Xuanwei was discussing matters with Lou Guanxue.

"Senior sister, have you seen the government's request report?"

The old Taoist priest sat on a futon, his white hair and youthful face giving him a very classy air.

Not far from him, Lou Guanxue was holding a mobile phone, looking at some news reports.

Mass Hysteria Incident Occurs at a Temple in Southern Province

A large number of fanatics appeared at a temple in Beijing.

The Sichuan provincial government is being attacked by Buddhist believers, who have issued a demand that all Chinese states establish Buddhism as the state religion.

Monks causing disturbances at temples across the country, suspected to be linked to foreign forces.

Lou Guanxue's lips parted slightly, her tone grave: "Sect Leader, what is your opinion?"

Her voice trembled, and she looked incredulous.

The old Taoist Xuanwei noticed that Lou Guanxue was acting strangely. His smile disappeared, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "This doesn't seem like the behavior of the Buddhist sect, at least not like the Buddhism I know."

"Most of the reincarnated Buddhists have gone to Southeast Asia, but it's said to be even more chaotic there."

"There are indeed some reincarnated Buddhists within the various regions of China. The government sent people to inquire about them, but those reincarnated Buddhists did not know the situation and said that this matter had nothing to do with Buddhism."

Lou Guanxue hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "This kind of fanatical faith reminds me of a group of people."

"Oh? Who is it?"

The old Taoist Xuanwei sat up straight and asked solemnly.

"Ancient gods from the time of the ancient heavens!"

Lou Guanxue's tone was filled with unprecedented worry: "...As far as I know, those ancient gods were most adept at exploiting people's faith."

"Ancient gods?"

Xuanwei was filled with doubt and surprise: "...I have heard of such 'beings' in ancient books, but I don't know much about them."

"Senior sister, you were born in the ancient times, so you should know a lot about these so-called ancient gods, right?"

"So how should this be resolved?"

Lou Guanxue pursed her lips and sighed softly, "To be honest, I don't know much about these ancient gods."

Her voice was melodious and her tone was gentle, like that of a fairy who did not eat the food of mortals, but there was a slight embarrassment on her face.

Before the old Taoist Xuanwei could ask any more questions, Lou Guanxue explained, "When I was born, almost all of those ancient gods had already disappeared."

"I was born at the end of the ancient heavens and did not experience the period of rule by the ancient gods."

The old Taoist Xuanwei's eyes widened as he asked, "Why have those ancient gods disappeared?"

Lou Guanxue's face suddenly flushed red with intense excitement: "Those ancient gods have all been killed by Master."

"By the time I was born, there would be almost no ancient gods left."

Her words revealed an undisguised longing and heartfelt reverence and respect for her master.

The old Taoist Xuanwei opened his mouth wide, seemingly not expecting the reason to be this.

The patriarch, all by himself, killed all the ancient gods?

He learned from the ancient texts that those ancient gods were like incarnations of the Great Dao rules, and were extremely terrifying beings!

then,

The two fell silent.

Even Lou Guanxue didn't understand the ancient gods, nor did they know their methods.

If this incident is truly related to the reincarnation of an ancient god, they are now completely in the dark and don't know what to do.

Faith can also be called the power of incense and vows.

However, during the immortal era after the destruction of the ancient heavens, cultivators almost avoided these beliefs.

Having been tainted by too much incense offerings can easily cloud one's Daoist heart, making it impossible to see oneself, thus leading to one's demise under heavenly tribulation.

Even those Buddhist practitioners who are skilled in using incense and vows only use incense to create golden statues, and dare not use it for cultivation.

……

An old residential area in Qiantang City.

After hesitating for a long time, Yin Hang finally decided to come and see Brother Qin.

In the bedroom, Qin Zijun was playing games in front of the computer. A Devon Rex cat was lying on the computer desk, purring occasionally.

Qin Zijun paused the game, looked at Yin Hang who came in through the door, and said with a smile, "Shouldn't it be working hours now? What are you doing here?"

Yin Hang scratched his head, looking embarrassed, and said, "The government has recently encountered some troubles and has consulted many reincarnated individuals, but none of them know how to resolve them."

Qin Zijun, recalling some news she had seen, smiled and said, "So the government sent you to question me?"

Yin Hang sighed: "No, the government has always thought that you, Brother Qin, are just an ordinary reincarnation, the monk Mingxiang."

"Even some of the great masters of the Taiqing Realm in the past don't know the specifics of this incident. How could the government possibly send me to ask you, Brother Qin?"

"I came here on my own. The government officials may not know how powerful Brother Qin is, but do you think I don't?"

Yin Hang smiled smugly, somewhat dissatisfied with the shortsightedness of the government and the management bureau.

My brother Qin is so awesome, if you had come and asked earlier, the problem might have been solved long ago.

He is now a loyal fan and the most devoted admirer of Qin Zijun.

My brother Qin is none other than the legendary "Primordial Great Luo Heaven"!

Yin Hang composed himself and cautiously asked, "Um, Brother Qin, you should know how all this happened, right?"

Qin Zijun smiled calmly, with an innate sense of composure: "This is the method of the ancient gods."

"Ancient gods?"

Yin Hang had never heard of this term before.

"Hmm, a bunch of defeated underlings I wiped out, not worth mentioning."

"Kill them all?!"

Yin Hang's mouth gaped open.

Brother Qin, can you please stop saying such pretentious things so easily?

Upon seeing Qin Zijun and learning the reason for the incident, especially given Qin Zijun's nonchalant attitude, Yin Hang was no longer worried.

He added, "Oh, and I also received news that the Imperial Observatory discovered a palace on the moon, which may contain reincarnated beings!"

"Moon?"

Qin Zijun was taken aback, and a cold and noble figure inexplicably flashed through her mind.
