On the Avenue.

Chapter 597: Small Temple Receiving Great Incense

Chen Shi was stunned. Along the way, he saw rainfall in many places, causing the people who had turned into mud figures to turn into mud and water.

He originally thought that it was the person who caused the pollution of the avenue who did it, but now it seems that there may be other reasons.

"If it wasn't you who cast the spell, who else in Feng'an County has the magical power to cast a spell to make it rain?" Chen Shi asked.

Chu Xiangxiu said: "My Taoism can destroy people's physical bodies, golden bodies, and cultivation. Even the immortals' spirits will turn into mud. But it cannot affect the incense. The gods in Feng'an County should all have this method. In addition, the gods of the Thunder Department can also cast spells to rain outside. If the cultivation is very strong and the Taoism is profound, like you, it can also be done."

Chen Shi hesitated for a moment and said, "You can go now."

Chu Xiangxiu was slightly startled: "You won't capture me and take me back to heaven?"

Chen Shi said, "You still have something on your mind. Go and deal with this matter first. After you're done, I will capture you."

Chu Xiangxiu stood up and bowed to him: "After I handle this matter, I will come to see you in person. But I will not surrender. If you want to take me to heaven for trial, you must use your real skills."

Chen Shi bowed slightly in return: "Then I will be waiting for you."

Chu Xiangxiu turned and left.

He stopped again, turned around and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, you also came from the Dark Sea, and you also achieved enlightenment in the Dark Sea. You have the same external power as me in your body."

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "I am different from you. I have not been attacked by the outsiders."

Chu Xiangxiu left, and a voice came: "I can feel the power of the external path from your body. It may be because your integration of the path has not reached the perfect state, so you can't feel it."

Chen Shi frowned. Did Chu Xiangxiu really sense the power of the heretic from his body?

Why didn't he notice?

"My state of integration is not perfect? ​​Is it because I integrated the Dao with the True God from the outside world?"

He felt a little uneasy.

He merged with the Tao three times: at Daoxu, in Jingzhong, and in Xiniuxinzhou.

In his opinion, the part most likely to go wrong should actually be the Hedao in the Well, because that is the abnormal point of the Avenue!
The second is Daoxu, which is obviously not a normal place.

The place least likely to have problems is Xiniu Xinzhou.

"I am in harmony with the Way in the Well, and what I am in harmony with is the Way of Demons. The Way of Demons is obviously also a kind of heterodox way."

He said silently, "What Chu Xiangxiu sensed might be the harmony of the well."

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the door. Chen Shi looked and saw the clay Buddha Mahasthamaprapta lowered his head and walked through the door of Chu Xiangxiu's house and entered the Chu family.

Chen Shi raised his eyebrows. The clay Buddha seemed to be chasing the person who cast the rain spell, but it was also possible that he was casting the rain spell to kill the people of Feng'an County to force Chu Xiangxiu to show up. However, this was just a guess by Chen Shi and there was no evidence.

The clay Buddha bent his body, picked up a few pieces of paper, and carefully examined the talismans and divine patterns on them.

Hei Guo quietly left the Chu family and came to the door, only to see clay Buddhas, clay Arhats, clay Vajras, and clay masters walking into this small village, blocking Chu Xiangxiu's way.

These gods all come from Mahanabhadra Temple of Mahasthamaprapta and are enshrined in various halls.

Although their Buddhist and Taoist cultivation was abolished and their golden bodies were destroyed, their Shinto cultivation was still there.

Obviously, the clay Buddha also found the source of the pollution on the road and found it here.

"This level of talent is frighteningly high."

The clay Buddha praised, "It's a pity that you don't use your skills in the right way. If you can convert to my Western Paradise, you may be able to walk on the right path."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Bodhisattva is also a person who sympathizes with talents. Does Bodhisattva know where the land god of Feng'an County has gone?"

"I don't know."

The clay Buddha shook his head. "Feng'an County is under the jurisdiction of the Thunder Province. The appointment and dismissal of priests is in the hands of the Thunder Department. If you want to know where the Earth God has gone, you must ask the Thunder Department."

Chen Shi said: "The people of Feng'an County used to believe in the God of Land. Now that the God of Land is gone, the Mahanabo Temple can grow stronger."

The clay Buddha said: "The Thunder Province is very big, it can accommodate the Mahanabo Temple and the Earth God."

Chen Shi took out a stick of incense, lit it and stuck it into the ground, saying, "Where has the God of Land gone? Whether he is alive or dead, we can tell by burning a stick of incense."

The incense smoke curls up and floats upwards.

Chen Shi stared at the column of smoke, only to see it drifting in the wind and soon dissipating.

"The Bodhisattva is wrong. Thunder Province can accommodate the Mahanabha Temple, but it cannot accommodate the Earth God."

Chen Shi retracted his gaze and said, "As a god, if he doesn't accept the incense, there is only one possibility, that is, he is dead."

The clay Buddha frowned slightly: "I don't know about the death of the land god."

He walked out and said, "Chu Xiangxiu is a disciple of the Earth God, but he possesses strange magic, causing disasters in Feng'an County and killing countless lives. The Buddha is merciful. As long as he converts to heaven, he will still have a chance to give up evil and start over. In the future, he may achieve enlightenment."

Chen Shi's voice came from behind him: "Do you want to cut off the lineage of Feng'an Land God? Chu Xiangxiu is the only heir of Feng'an Land God."

The clay Buddha lowered his head and walked through the door. He stopped outside the door and turned back to say, "But he can get a better Taoist tradition. Donor Chen, I won this bet. I will solve the pollution of the road in Feng'an County. The Mahanabha Temple is bound to flourish, and Buddhism is bound to flourish as well!"

Chen Shi followed him out of the Chu family and said with a smile, "How can the Thunder Department sit back and watch and allow the West Heaven to grow stronger?"

The clay Buddha walked towards Chu Xiangxiu who was surrounded and said in a deep voice: "The Heaven Court can accommodate the Western Heaven, the Underworld can accommodate the Western Heaven, and the Thunder Department can naturally accommodate it as well."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Buddha, others may not know who killed Feng'an Landlord, but Feng'an Landlord must know who killed him. If we revive him, we will know everything. I am not talented, but I happen to have the means to revive gods."

The clay Buddha glanced back at him, then continued walking towards Chu Xiangxiu, saying calmly: "Chen Tianbing, you are just a heavenly soldier, don't think too highly of yourself. The spirit of Feng'an Land God is annihilated, who can bring him back to life? This is an unsolved case."

The group of clay Buddhas, clay Arhats, clay venerables, and clay Vajras surrounding Chu Xiangxiu all attacked Chu Xiangxiu.

When Chu Xiangxiu raised her hand, the earth surged and countless muds surged like waves, swallowing up all the clay Buddhas and clay Arhats.

He practiced the Shinto Taoism passed down by the God of Land, and the magical power he comprehended was to control the land. He was very adept at dealing with these clay Buddhas and clay arhats.

"King Kong cannot win!"

A clay Vajra activated his Dao, and golden light shone from his body. His body became bigger and bigger, and higher and higher. He stood up from the surging mud, and grabbed Chu Xiangxiu with the power of the supreme Vajra. Chu Xiangxiu pointed, and the moment his huge finger touched the clay Vajra, he showed a look of horror, and suddenly his body turned into powder, and the mud fell to the ground.

"The Kingdom of Buddha is in the palm of your hand!"

Another clay Buddha shouted, slapped his palm, and it was spinning. In his palm, there was a world, which was getting bigger and bigger, expanding rapidly. Chu Xiangxiu felt the world spinning, and then she found herself in the palm of the clay Buddha.

"In my Buddhist country, how can you control the earth?"

The clay Buddha smiled slightly. The Buddha Kingdom in his palm was his palm. Standing in the Buddha Kingdom and looking at him, he saw that his face was dozens of times larger than the sun and the moon, and his body was tall and majestic, like a giant god standing in the sky, invincible.

The clay Buddhas and clay Arhats that had just fallen into the ground jumped up one after another, fell into the Buddha's kingdom in his palm, and attacked Chu Xiangxiu.

Chu Xiangxiu raised her foot and stomped her feet. She looked a little shy, but her attack was really ruthless. She said, "Your Buddhist kingdom is not mud?"

The face of the clay Buddha changed drastically. The Buddha's kingdom began to churn, and the earth flew upward, forming countless huge earth dragons, which strangled the clay Buddhas, clay Vajras, and clay Arhats, entangled and crushed everyone!

The clay Buddha who was using the Buddha Kingdom in his palm looked at his right hand in horror. His right hand no longer looked like his own hand. His palm reorganized and it was like thousands of tentacles flying around, strangling his companions!

Not only that, this change also spread to his arms. His arms were also made of mud, but they came alive, and tentacles made of mud were flying in the air. If you look closely, they are not tentacles, but mud dragons!

The clay Buddha immediately raised his hand to cut off the arm to prevent the situation from spreading, and flew up.

He had just flown into the air when he saw that the land within a radius of hundreds of miles around the village seemed to come alive, rising up and turning into a giant palm with the mountains as its five fingers. With a loud bang, it slammed into him and smashed him into powder!
Chu Xiangxiu withdrew her hand, turned around and saw an endless sun rising slowly. It was the magical power of the Mahasthamaprapta Clay Bodhisattva!
"boom!"

A giant hand made of rocks and soil in the sky thrust downwards, blocking Chu Xiangxiu. The two's magical powers collided, and the extremely heavy giant hand was burned through by the scorching sun. With an extremely violent collision, Chu Xiangxiu flew backwards with blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.

The Great Strength Bodhisattva looked at his hands and arms that kept exploding, a little surprised, and praised: "Well done, well done, donor Chu, your Taoism is simple but pure, and has reached the point of being skillful and reaching the essence of the Tao. You are destined to be with me in the West."

He clenched his fists heavily, shattering Chu Xiangxiu's Taoism. His palms and arms recovered automatically, and he flew up and started chasing after Chu Xiangxiu.

His strength is many times greater than that of other clay Buddhas and clay arhats. After all, Mahanaba Temple is his temple. He has the most incense and the strongest divine power, so his strength is naturally greater.

At this moment, he frowned slightly, and felt his arm go numb. He was startled: "Dark Sea Strange Dao!"

A strange force in his arm interfered with the flow of his divine power and affected his strength.

His cultivation was far superior to Chu Xiangxiu's, and the divine patterns on his body were even more exquisite, so he should not have been invaded by Chu Xiangxiu's strange way. But this strange way was not the one that invaded now, but the strange way hidden in the incense that Chu Xiangxiu gave him!
Long before he was contaminated by the strange way, this strange way had already been lurking in his body, waiting for the opportunity to attack!

Now is the time to strike!
On the other side, Chu Xiangxiu tried her best to steady her body, but she couldn't help retreating for hundreds of miles before she stood firm. She immediately exerted force with both feet and ran forward, heading straight for the Mahasthamaprapta Clay Bodhisattva!

This is the opportunity he has been waiting for!
The purpose of ambushing this strange path he had laid was to get rid of the Mahasthamaprapta Clay Bodhisattva!

Suddenly, clear and crisp shouts were heard, and thousands of Mud Concubines along the way jumped up one after another, their clothes fluttering, and they raised up earthen magic weapons and attacked him.

Monks need a companion of the opposite sex to practice, one is to protect themselves, the other is to satisfy their sexual desires. Such a companion is a consort.

These clay consorts were originally consorts in the Mahanabha Temple. Because they had to serve the Bodhisattvas and Arhats and were worshipped on a daily basis, they possessed some divine powers, but they were also polluted by outsiders and turned into clay figures.

Chu Xiangxiu turned a blind eye and raised his hand to slap forward. Many concubines exploded and turned into mud. They flew up with his palm and flew towards the clay Buddha Mahasthamaprapta!

They regrouped in the air and transformed into a giant hand, but before they reached the Mahasthamaprapta Clay Bodhisattva, suddenly a string of Buddhist beads flew into the air, whirring and spinning, and absorbed the palm of the hand into the Buddha's light.

Behind the Buddha's light is a pure land of bliss, like a jade world.

Almost all the magic weapons in Feng'an County turned into mud. Even the exorcism banner sent by the North Pole Exorcism Institute could only last for one day before turning into mud. However, this string of Buddhist beads remained intact without any damage. It was obvious that the power of the Buddhist beads was far greater than that of the exorcism banner!

The Pure Land of Bliss formed by the Buddhist beads is composed of Taoist patterns, forming various images of the Great Dao. These strange images are all images of the Buddhas and cannot be shaken by Chu Xiangxiu's strange Dao.

This treasure is called the Eighteen Right Mindfulnesses, and is a treasure for subduing demons that was refined from the original body of Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta.

The so-called 18 mindfulnesses refer to 18 kinds of self-awareness. Buddhism says that the four elements are empty, and that one needs to abandon all mindfulnesses before one can achieve enlightenment. Mahasthamaprapta refined all his thoughts to only these 18 kinds, which is remarkable.

The Eighteen Mindfulness Buddhist beads were spinning, and Chu Xiangxiu couldn't help but spin with them, rapidly approaching the beads.

"Shh!"

He passed through the Buddhist beads and was about to enter the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss when suddenly the beads shrank and were placed around his neck.

Chu Xiangxiu's head disappeared, but she fell down intact, standing on the ground.

At this moment, his head appeared in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. The Buddhas surrounded him and chanted Buddhist teachings. The rumbling sound came from all directions.

Chu Xiangxiu wanted to move but couldn't. She struggled hard but couldn't escape.

His hands could not help but clasp together, and his mouth could not help but chant along with the Buddhas.

The clay Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "My joy in having Chu Xiangxiu is greater than my joy in having Feng'an County. With such a good disciple, the West Heaven will prosper and the incense will flourish."

He waited quietly, waiting for Chu Xiangxiu to convert, so that the pollution of the avenue could be broken.

On the other side, Chen Shi returned to the land temple and asked Hei Guo, "Do you have any incense? I haven't prepared any since I left Xiniu Island. The one I just burned was the last one."

Hei Guo took out several bundles of incense, all of which were top-quality sandalwood.

Chen Shi shook his head: "I want something thicker."

Hei Guo took out a large incense stick as thick as a bucket from his own little world. It was much taller than a human.

"This one is enough!"

Chen Shi was overjoyed and lit the incense stick and stuck it in front of the land temple. This temple was a small temple but received a large incense stick, so the incense stick was taller than the temple.

Chen Shi offered sacrifices to the small temple behind his head. Behind his head, the temple was filled with divine light, as if floating in the mysterious air, appearing quiet and mysterious.

"Godmother, I am Chen Shi. I have encountered difficulties in Feng'an County of Thunder Profound Province. I want to borrow your power to revive the land of Feng'an! Please help me, Godmother!"

Chen Shi bowed to the land temple, and all the divine powers floating between heaven and earth in the entire Feng'an County shook violently!

In the Xuanhuang Sea, in the Houde Guangda Heavenly Palace, Hou Tu Huang Di Ji slowly opened his eyes and said with a smile: "It's rare for the prince to be serious for once. Well, let him be."

In Feng'an County, the broken divine power and incense that were floating between heaven and earth came one after another and gathered in the land temple, gradually forming a divine image. A small land god appeared in the temple.
