I was a charlatan in India

The round-faced merchant's house was not far away.

He had just finished his pilgrimage.

Although Da Tian never responded to him, his business had always been stable, which must have been due to divine protection.

People who run a business usually go to two extremes.

Or they might be like Vasudiv, believing that their family owes its current success entirely to their own efforts.

Or there are round-faced businessmen like him, who gradually make it seem like it doesn't matter whether he's there or not; they're just naturally gifted.

This is not foolishness, but rather a result of being overwhelmed by trivial matters and too lazy to think about these daily routines, so one naturally chooses a direction and runs headlong into the distance.

Human energy is finite.

However, today, an uninvited guest has entered his life.

She was a slightly thin woman. Her hand didn't move, but the door was inexplicably knocked on. It was quite extraordinary.

Of course, any round-faced businessman who looked down might have noticed something amiss.

Arti spoke with feigned seriousness: "I bring the blessings of the heavens."

Compared to last time, her tone was noticeably more solemn.

She was overjoyed.

These adults, it turns out, can also be just as fearful as they are when they make mistakes.

Brother Da Tian is indeed amazing; even the high-caste lords are afraid of him!

As a result, she became even more immersed in the role.

Of course, to the round-faced businessman, the voice sounded noticeably immature and somewhat strange.

But it doesn't matter. What threat can a woman pose to me?

She said she brought the blessings of heaven, so she must be a believer herself.

So the round-faced merchant politely said, "Please come in."

Shenhe manipulated Xianghui's body and nodded slightly.

He then walked straight to Linga and directed Alti to kneel down and worship.

Pshaw, they said I didn't need to practice asceticism, but they just wanted me to become a believer.

Arti grumbled inwardly but did as he was told.

The round-faced merchant did not stop them.

It is considered improper for believers to use the lingam for worship, but usually only Brahmins who are religious practitioners care about this.

A businessman like him values ​​interpersonal relationships more.

Besides, even the heavens didn't stop it, so why should I?

Of course, there must be a purpose behind this.

Shenhe wondered if he could use this method to make Linga in front of him belong to Arti.

That way, even if I don't respond to these believers, I won't have to run around the map every day.

Even if it doesn't work, it won't have much of an impact, right?

As Arti made his pilgrimage, Shenhe nervously manipulated the incense ash body, making corresponding movements.

然而，意料之外事情发生了。

With Shenhe's response, a wish gradually emerged.

"I want to have a normal life."

Hmm... Arti, what nonsense are you thinking...?

wrong!

Shenhe was suddenly startled, and a sinister idea gradually surfaced in his mind.

This wish... could it belong to the body of incense ash?

Almost simultaneously, Shenhe received an affirmative answer.

Damn, it really is!

At the same time, a voice entered through the linga and echoed throughout the space.

"Damn it, it really is!"

!!!

That voice was clearly my own thought!

Could it be that this body made of incense ash has been identified as his own?

correct.

That desire to "have a normal life" is undoubtedly Shenhe's wish!

Does that mean he can bypass the enormous energy required to create a divine body and obtain a physical body in this way?

Shenhe became excited instantly.

He tentatively probed, trembling, how much arduous effort would be needed to fulfill this wish.

He needs to know the answer immediately!

immediately!

The space quickly provided the results.

There are quite a few, but you can get a feel for them.

This is roughly equivalent to the power of asceticism accumulated by Agni.

In other words... if I satisfy another ascetic of roughly the same level, I can live as a human!

I no longer need to be a Genlinga!

In an instant, even the chest of the incense ash body rose and fell slightly.

However, could this also become a weakness?

After all, I just responded to the incense ash body. If it gets damaged, wouldn't that affect me?

Space quickly provided the answer.

Before Xiang Hui's body gained life, she did not have the concept of "death," and naturally could not involve Shenhe.

Shenhe finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The surprise was so great that Shenhe overlooked some details.

For example, the subject used in space is...

"she".

There's clearly more to this incense ash body than meets the eye.

Furthermore, the Linga in front of us has indeed established a connection with the Shen River.

There is no doubt that this idea is feasible.

Any believer who has responded can help Shenhe claim the lingam by making a pilgrimage!

Well, I'm sorry, believers!

Only when your gods become stronger can they...

From now on, Shenhe will not only steal incense ash, but he'll even start stealing linga!

The round-faced merchant was unaware of what was happening and simply watched casually.

Since we have nothing to do at night, waiting a while won't hurt.

He didn't want to go back too soon to deal with his wife, who was in her late thirties.

This public grain...

Hey!

A moment later, Arti stood up and secretly patted the dust off his knees inside his robe.

Then he spoke.

"The heavens say they are pleased with your piety."

The round-faced merchant was taken aback by what he heard.

What does that mean?

Is he going to ask me for money next?

He claimed to bring the blessings of heaven, then pulled out an item and made her buy it...

I know this routine very well!

Thinking of this, the round-faced merchant watched the woman warily, waiting for her to make a move.

Unexpectedly, what happened next was completely beyond his expectations.

The woman slightly raised her hand and pointed at Linga.

The next second, ghee, wheat cakes, rice, and eggs appeared out of thin air on the ground.

In addition, the incense ash also gathered like a vortex, as if surrounding the lingam!

This, this is...

This is undoubtedly a miracle!

No, it was stolen from Mina's house.

Seeing the round-faced merchant's shocked expression, Shenhe turned his head slightly, and even Xianghui's body trembled a little.

Of course, the other party had no idea what he was thinking.

The round-faced businessman was already silently regretting his actions.

Damn it, how could I have had such blasphemous thoughts?

The woman before him had clearly obtained some kind of extraordinary power.

Why would someone like her need to scam me out of my money?

Foolish!

Speaking of which, I also ran into two masters at the bathhouse a few days ago.

It seems something big has indeed happened in Varanasi! The rumors are definitely true!

Seeing the round-faced merchant breathing heavily, Shenhe timely instructed Arti to proceed.

"However, the offerings to the Linga are somewhat meager. Since I'm borrowing them today, I'll supplement them for you."

"Now that the divine oracle is about to descend upon Varanasi, offering sacrifices with devotion will greatly benefit us believers."

While following instructions and spouting nonsense, Arti secretly glanced at the tributes that Shenhe had placed down.

The more I look at it, the more familiar it seems.

Waaaaah, those look like my snacks.

She was heartbroken.

"Yes, yes!"

The round-faced merchant no longer displayed any air of being the master; he was completely waiting for orders.

Such a person must have something to do when he arrives; he can't possibly make a trip just to borrow a linga.

Oh, and the blessings of Heaven!

He had no doubt that the man before him was the divine messenger of the heavens, about to bestow blessings upon him!

Oh no, I was so disrespectful just now, I hope it will have some consequences!

God, forgive me!

I will worship you even more devoutly from now on! I promise!

Tomorrow, no, in a little while, I'll go prepare the offerings!

We guarantee your satisfaction!

He lowered his head even further, awaiting divine instructions with utmost reverence.
