Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 181 Pulling the Thread of Faith

Shang Liangshan looked at the spirit for a while, but couldn't figure out what was going on. He decisively gave up on finding trouble and raised his hand, saying, "Get up."

The spirit rose up in response, looking timid, acting entirely on instinct.

This situation was within Shang Liangshan's expectations, so he was not disappointed.

The next step was to place the spirit, so he sent a message to Xiaocao, asking it to come over.

Not long after, Xiao Cao came out from underground. When he saw the hazy spirit in the hall, he was stunned. He thought it was the three spirits in the well that ran out by themselves.

After repeated confirmation, he was sure that the spirit in front of him was not one of the three spirits in the spring.

But the strange thing was that he had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this spirit.

He asked respectfully in confusion, "Master, what is this spirit?"

"He was the fanatic who died yesterday. For some reason, he was forcibly pulled here by the Mountain and River Seal." Shang Liangshan explained.

"It was brought here by the Mountain and River Seal." Xiao Cao was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself, "When did the Mountain and River Seal have this function?"

"It should be a new skill generated after the Mountain and River Seal devoured the Xuanhuang Stone. It can be considered a pleasant surprise. From now on, when the fanatics die, we don't have to worry about guiding them."

"Congratulations, Master." Although Xiaocao didn't understand how the Mountain and River Seal swallowed the Xuanhuang Stone, it didn't stop him from congratulating him.

Shang Liangshan nodded calmly and said, "Xin Ling's soul is weak. Take him to the spring to warm him up and observe him carefully."

"Yes," Xiaocao agreed and waved to Xinling.

Xin Ling bowed devoutly to Shang Liangshan before leaving the hall with Xiao Cao.

"One worship can generate a ray of wish power. The fanatical believers are indeed the temple spirits and the most precious treasures." Shang Liangshan could not help but sigh, and there was a glimmer of precious light in his eyes as he watched Xin Ling leave.

He withdrew his gaze and his thoughts raced.

“What changes have taken place in the Mountain and River Seal? Summon it out and take a look. No, it’s better not to move it rashly.” Thinking of this, Shang Liangshan closed his eyes and sensed the Mountain and River Seal.

It is troublesome not to be born with spiritual intelligence. If you want to understand something, you have to perceive it.

His perception was incredible. The Mountain and River Seal was not only devouring the Xuanhuang Stone and evolving the Taoist temple, it was also spontaneously pulling the thread of faith.

The original line of faith was connected to the barrier of the Huawai Taoist temple, a bit like an antenna.

As Shang Liangshan's perception deepened, he discovered that the Mountain and River Seal not only pulled the thread of faith, but also had numbers.

The Mountain and River Seal is like a central processor, organizing the threads of faith in an orderly manner and assigning them numbers.

"Line number." When Shang Liangshan sensed the number, he was a little stunned.

Because he didn't expect that the line of faith would surge by as much as five thousand just because he hadn't paid attention to it for a few days.

Such a surprise made him think about the reason for the sudden increase in the line of faith.

The result was naturally to be shot. After one guess after another, in the end one could only shake his head and get rid of the trouble.

Shang Liangshan put away his thoughts and carefully sensed the thread of faith pulled by the Mountain and River Seal.

In his perception, crystal-clear thin lines stretched out from the void, spread out in a fan-shaped pattern in an orderly manner, and penetrated into the body of the Mountain and River Seal Peak, continuously injecting the power of faith, which was a bit like charging.

At the foot of the mountain, crystal clear river water flows, and a light mist rises up, spreading out and nourishing the outer Taoist temple.

Wait, Shang Liangshan remembered that the original river around the mountain and river was stagnant water, like an ancient well without waves, but now it is flowing slowly.

Dead water becomes living water, where does the river flow and where does the source of the water come from?

He followed the direction of the river and soon made a new discovery: the river was blocked by a raised mountain spring.

Clear spring gurgles out of the spring and flows to the higher upstream.

Sensing this, he suddenly realized that the power of vows was like a spring, gushing out clear springs.

"Where does it flow to?" Shang Liangshan returned to the main topic and soon discovered that there was a small underground river below the outer side of the descending mountain spring, flowing to the spring of the Huawai Taoist Temple.

It's truly a perfect cycle.

"It would be great if the Mountain and River Seal could have reverse output." As soon as the thought came to his mind, Shang Liangshan was stunned. Maybe it could.

He did it as he thought. He chose a thread of faith numbered 158, controlled the Mountain and River Seal, separated a wisp of spiritual energy, and output it in the reverse direction.

A wisp of spiritual energy turned into a snake, and under Shang Liangshan's perception, it pierced into the line of faith, moving like a snake, lightly swimming upstream at an extremely fast speed.

It didn't take long before it reached the end of the line of faith, rushed into the illusory human body, and completed the soul-entering-body transfer.

"Beautiful." Shang Liangshan couldn't help but shout out loud. He was excited for a long time before he calmed down. He thought about how to give the river seal, input dream commands, soul ferrying commands, and independently give soul ferrying commands to the new line of faith.

After thinking for a long time, Shang Liangshan decided to use a stupid method, which was to control the mountains and rivers himself, become a sorcerer to ferry souls, and form a mark.

The nascent thread of faith, whose light was dimmed, became the subject of experimentation.

Because according to Shang Liangshan's experience as a charlatan for many days, there are only two reasons why the line of faith is dim: one is that the believer is sleeping, and the other is that the believer's faith is not firm.

If it is the first, the charlatan dream and the soul ferrying will be carried out at the same time. If it is the second, just give up.

The test process went more smoothly than Shang Liangshan had expected, and the next step was to command the Mountain and River Seal to operate autonomously.

Once the order was given, the Mountain and River Seal moved in response, and yellow light flowed, caressing the threads of faith like silk playing a piano.

When the yellow light passes by the dim line of faith, it will automatically separate a ray of yellow light into a snake, pierce into the line of faith, and lightly flow upstream.

Shang Liangshan then picked up a dark thread of faith and followed the yellow light snake to watch.

When the yellow light snake rushed into the hazy human body, it instantly turned into a colorful bubble.

He was very familiar with these colorful bubbles.

Because he is a charlatan, pretending to be a god and giving his believers the special effect of ferrying souls, that's it.

The result is self-evident. Those who believe in me and pretend to be gods will gain eternal life and soul salvation in one go.

His spiritual consciousness was withdrawn, and he began to sense the operation of the Mountain and River Seal, which made Shang Liangshan stunned.

After the yellow light circled the peak, it did not stop but continued to move.

How can this be solved? My almighty book friends are online and urgently needed. If you have any good ideas, please leave a message.

(I have a headache thinking about the strokes. Give the protagonist an instruction to run it once late at night.)

Shang Liangshan had no choice but to give orders to the Mountain and River Seal, to operate it once every night.

In this way, believers will undoubtedly benefit a lot, but problems also arise.

Can the incense and vows provided by the believers offset the consumption of spiritual energy? If so, that's fine. If not, then we have to do it manually.

After all, I haven't studied much and am not good at science.

Well, the liberal arts are not that great either.

Now that the matter was settled, Shang Liangshan had no intention of continuing to practice and decided to go out for a walk.

As a result, when he appeared on the top of the rock, he found that it was already dark and the stars were shining.

He looked at the old patriarch lying in the pavilion in confusion and asked, "Old patriarch, how long have I been in seclusion?"
