In addition to the water and fire refining method to enlighten ghosts and refine the nectar of magical food, etc., there is also incense money that is common to ghosts and gods. In fact, it is a special solidified product of the power of faith.
It is not only the power generated by devout believers who pray that is called the power of faith. The thoughts generated by ordinary people's inadvertent worship, admiration, love and other emotions can be gathered to a certain extent to form a power that is not inferior to faith. It's just that these desires of all living beings
The power of incense is more complicated than the power of faith, that is, the power of faith, and the impurities in it are also difficult to refine. That's why Taoist monks say that incense is poisonous. Only gods can directly use the power of incense to transform it into their own divine power. Taoist Xuanmen
Monks from other sects or other sects only use this power indirectly.
According to Taoist legends, the paper money that ordinary people burn for their ancestors is actually the most basic incense money. However, the level is too low. At most, it only expresses some grief or prayers of living people. It is of some benefit to lonely souls and wild ghosts, but the true gods are not.
Dismissive.
The incense money refined by Taoist masters is different. The incense money refined by mana can even be taken to the underworld and heaven to be exchanged with ghosts and gods. The advanced ones are even called Tianyin, which is a concentrated form of faith.
The power is a good thing that the gods can directly absorb and transform into divine power.
Taoism has a method for refining incense money. John has not tried it, but he has heard about it.
The first is the carrier. The better the carrier, the more effective the incense money will be.
There are no square-hole copper coins or gold ingots in this world, but you can also use tin foil and gold foil to form gold and silver coin shapes. It is not difficult for craftsmen in this world. As long as it is a coin shape recognized by the general public, it will be easier.
Relying on the power of faith, those strange and strange things will get twice the result with half the effort.
It is not difficult to make incense money for sacrifices. The key is that the person who performs the sacrifice must have magic power and relevant scientific rituals. This is actually similar to a disguised sacrifice to the gods.
Because there is no custom of burning paper money in this world, these gold and silver coins are not money spent for the ancestors in the underground world, but appear as a carrier of the power of faith, a copycat version of the secondary faith power of divine power.
Of course, for ancestral spirits and ghosts in the underworld, this thing can also be used as money. Whether it is to absorb and strengthen the spirit power, or to exchange it with other ghosts or demons, devils and other creatures in the lower world, it should be very popular.
of good stuff.
The batch of incense money that John refined before was only the most rudimentary version, because he was not a formally ordained Taoist priest, and the incense money was closely related to the Taoist pantheon.
The water and fire in the refining ritual are based on the image of the sky and the shape of the earth to obtain the true energy of the sun and the moon, and use talismans to divine its transformation, and then uplift all the souls who have fallen into the netherworld.
Although mana is the basis of everything here, the talisman is the decisive factor in the quality of the incense money.
"Fu" refers to the words used by the gods, and "瓓" usually refers to the ultimatum that records the merits of heavenly officials, the names of gods and gods in the ten directions, the summoning of gods, and the performance of martial arts. A Taoist priest can only be named after receiving the 瓓.
Only those who have the Taoist priesthood can have the Taoist priesthood. Only when the Taoist priests have the Taoist priesthood can the chapters and verses in their fasting rituals be enshrined in heaven and receive the protection of the gods. Otherwise, the verses in the fasting rituals and rituals will be invalid.
Immortal Taoist talismans sound similar to Shinto priests. In fact, they were created by the senior monks to imitate the gods. They are the source of all Taoist practices. Later, the Taoist ancestors established their norms and established corresponding levels. At each level, new ones were awarded by superior teachers.
Talisman.
According to the discussion in the past life forum, everyone generally believes that the talisman is actually a specific symbol for practitioners to record the laws. What is granted by God, and what drives the heavenly soldiers and generals are all anthropomorphic. To put it simply, the corresponding laws are invoked through the talisman.
And achieve the process of exerting supernatural power.
John believed that he deserved the care of the Father of Nature, the anthropomorphic pan-consciousness of nature, which was equivalent to being in the eyes of God. The power of laws he could call upon was roughly similar to the talisman used in primary Taoism in his previous life.
Therefore, he can only refine incense money of this level for the time being, unless he studies the specific form of the set of talismans in his previous life in this world.
After all, there are no institutions like Heaven, Earth, Thunder Palace, and Cao Cao in this life.
In addition, the pools and fire swamps set up during the water and fire refining actually have special requirements.
Time is urgent today, so John can only keep everything simple, but now it seems that the effect is also very good. Didn't he notice that the ancestral spirits looked at him now as if they were looking at some rare treasure?
The newly refreshed ancestral spirits now gathered around John, each bragging about the professions and skills they had mastered during their lifetime, trying to get more benefits from John. Normally, in order to reduce consumption, the ancestral spirits basically stayed in a state of sleep.
, as spiritual beings, they no longer have the physical desires of the human body, and these things that John created happened to be the same delicacies and beauties that mortals can't part with. It can be said that a group of people have been empty for hundreds of years.
When the ancestral spirits encounter this situation, they naturally cannot resist the temptation to offer incense.
However, most of these twelve ancestors are spellcasters, mostly warlocks, and there are also mages and bards. These are things that John does not need yet. What he needs most is the inheritance of swordsmanship and natural magic.
Fortunately, there are druids and sword dancers among the ancestral spirits, and that is Claudius, the leader of the ancestral spirits.
As a pure-blooded half-elf, Claudius was born in the age of the gods. Not only did he receive the favor of nature to become a high-level druid, he was also a legendary sword dancer. You must know that this profession generally only exists among elves, and among humans
It evolved into the sword master profession there, and now it is said that it has almost been lost.
Claudius lived for hundreds of years during his lifetime, and the wealth of knowledge he mastered throughout his life can be imagined. This is also the most fundamental reason why those ancient families continue to prosper, because they have the blessings of their ancestors, even if the family fails due to
Even if the inheritance is lost due to accidents, there will still be ancestors to teach you.
However, the enthusiasm of his ancestors failed, so John continued to cast the three-light food spell and the nectar food spell, two spells to refine the ghosts.
"The vast essence generates Dharma Qi, and the mist condenses in the sky. The two lights are clear together, and the five latitudes communicate. The three lights are bright, and the precious Qi condenses in the three palaces. The emperor meets the nine elders in the hometown, and swallows the wealth of hundreds of bones. The golden flower illuminates the scene, and the body
Like the sun and the moon. If you recite the Tao and go before the Holy Spirit, you will have endless life for eternity..."
"Eating cold nectar, the taste of Dharma is endless. Qianhe flows seven treasures, what is the obstacle? If you eat and drink this Dharma, you will ascend to heaven and ascend to the purple sky. The merits are high and majestic, and the food will make you pure. All the things that have been done will be accomplished.
On behalf of the order, I will remove your three sufferings and give you nine profound blessings. When you are about to receive the food, all the heavens will praise you. There is so much sorrow in the cold court, so I look back to pay homage to the Yuan Emperor. The Nv Qing Ling Bao Talisman, written by Zhongshan Zhen Emperor. A single thought ascends to Taiqing,
Think again and take refuge in nothingness. Beneath the nine shadows of merit and virtue, the purple light is swirling..."
As the spell ended, a large number of delicacies and fine wines emitting white light appeared on the table.
Although it was only changed by John using the dry food and water stored in his own space, to the spiritual beings such as the ancestral spirits, these food and wine are real.
You must know that although they do not need to eat or drink, they are not emotionless puppets. Naturally, they also need to relieve loneliness and soothe their mood, otherwise they can easily degenerate into existences like evil spirits. Usually the ancestors use sleep to maintain themselves and relieve their stress.
The rate at which sanity points decrease.
After they took refuge in the Kingdom of God of the King of Knights decades ago, the situation has become much better. Although the Kingdom of God does not have everything like the heaven preached by the Church of Light, with only happiness and no sorrow, for the ancestors,
Compared to the struggling underworld, it is also a place almost like heaven.
However, as the ancestral spirits attached to the Double-Headed Eagle family, the treatment is naturally much worse, so this kind of delicious food enjoyment is not much for the twelve Heisenser ancestral spirits present.
Only Claudius, because his identity is old enough and his strength is strong enough, can occasionally find a place at the banquet of the King of Knights.
Therefore, the eating habits of several ancestors are really embarrassing. Of course, compared to the nobles who pay attention to etiquette. In the eyes of John in his previous life, etiquette is actually just pretending. In ordinary life, as long as it does not affect other people's ability to eat comfortably, it is fine.
