Smoke and smoke swirled around the temple like the morning fog between the towering mountains.
After Lin Mu used the Ethereal Opening Technique, he could communicate with the netherworld and talk to ghosts and gods at night.
The smell of smoke and smoke naturally entered his nose.
"This is…the incense offered by the devotees?”
Lin Mu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that after the incense was burned out, it would still exist in another form in a dimension that people couldn't see.
Whoosh!
Suddenly.
The incense smoke in the temple seemed to have encountered a giant dragon sucking in water and quickly swept away.
Lin Mu subconsciously raised his head and looked at the source of the incense smoke.
However…
The statues of the Four Heavenly Kings stood on the high altar.
Just like how mortals lit up cigarettes and breathed in and out smoke, they continuously breathed in and out the incense in the temple!
Lin Mu's heart skipped a beat when he saw this.!”
In the stone statues of the Four Heavenly Kings.
An illusory figure could be vaguely seen. This figure's appearance was no different from the statue.
It was just not very real.
"There are no gods in the world. As more people believe in them, there will be gods.”
This sentence flashed across Lin Mu's mind, and he understood something more: "Incense fire created these gods, but rather than calling them gods, it would be better to call them the spirits of the statues.”
Just as he was deep in thought.
The statues of the Four Heavenly Kings seemed to have sensed that someone was watching them. They stopped breathing incense and turned to look at Lin Mu.
Lin Mu looked at them.
In an instant!
"…"
Endless whispers entered his ears.
These whispers were like countless people nagging in his ears, or like the sound of an old tape that could not be heard clearly after it was damaged.
In the blink of an eye.
Lin Mu felt dizzy, as if he had downed a few bottles of white wine in one gulp. His consciousness became a little blurry.
It felt like he was not in control of himself.
"Taishang Star, adapt without stopping."
"Exorcise evil and bind evil spirits, protect your life."
"Wisdom is clear, mind is calm."
"The three souls are eternal, and the soul is not lost."
At the critical moment.
The Heart Cleansing Spell suddenly rang in Lin Mu's heart.
Under the circulation of the spell.
The whispers in his ears had turned into harmless voices.
"Benefactor, benefactor…?"
Seeing Lin Mu's dazed expression, the reception monk couldn't help but call out a few times.
Lin Mu woke up and averted his gaze from the statue. He looked at the reception monk and said,""Little Master, what did you say just now?”
"Uh…"
The reception monk choked and could only repeat,""This little monk said that you don't have to pay respect to all of the Arhat Palace. If you have the heart, you can choose one Arhat to pay respect to!”
Lin Mu pretended to be surprised and asked,"If I only respect one person, won't the other seven Arhats be jealous?"”
At this moment, after the baptism of the Heart Cleansing Spell.
His spirit had recovered, and the dizziness and discomfort had completely disappeared.
“……”
Sensing Lin Mu's difficulties, the reception monk was a little angry, so he put his palms together and said,"Amitabha. Honoring Buddha is all about sincerity.”
"This little monk sees that benefactor doesn't seem to be a sincere person. Please do as you please!”
"Farewell!"
After the reception monk finished speaking, he immediately turned around and left the Heaven King Hall.
"You really can't help but tease me!"
Lin Mu pursed his lips and looked at the Arhat Palace in front of him with a serious gaze.
The Four Heavenly Kings had all been worshipped as gods.
There was no reason for the Eight Great Arhats to still be clay statues and stone bodies, right?
The thought fell.
Lin Mu walked into the Arhat Hall.
This time, he learned from his experience and did not look directly at the statue's eyes. Instead, he looked at the statue's upper body.
Whoosh! Suck!
Sure enough, the Arhat Hall was also filled with incense smoke.
The statues of the eight great Arhats also had gods!
"It seems like these incense smoke can increase the spirituality of the statue.”
Lin Mu's gaze wandered around the incense cloud and he thought to himself,""Without the incense smoke, the spirituality of the statue will slowly dissipate.”
No wonder…
In some ancient novels, gods such as the City God and the Judge had to be polite to the officials and scholars in the human world.
After passing the Arhat Hall.
He walked into the courtyard of Prajna Temple.
On both sides of the stone path in the courtyard, there was a bronze cauldron about two meters long and one meter wide.
The cauldron was covered with a layer of incense dust and hundreds of sandalwood sticks.
"Great Buddha Hall…"
Lin Mu walked along the stone path and stood in front of the palace.
There were more than ten devout devotees in the hall.
They held sandalwood incense in their hands and knelt on the praying mats in front of the Buddha, muttering something.
"Will a wish to God really come true?”
Lin Mu looked at the endless stream of visitors who came to pay their respects to Buddha and could not help but shake his head.
Perhaps the devotees were not stupid.
He just wanted to find a spiritual sustenance!
"Amitabha!"
Just as Lin Mu shook his head, a Buddhist proclamation came from the left side of the hall.
Then…
A white-robed old monk with white eyebrows and a white beard walked over."Benefactor, when you saw my Buddha Golden Body, not only did you not bow, but you also shook your head.”
Lin Mu sized up the old monk and asked in surprise,""Does the law state that we have to kowtow when we see a Buddha statue?”
“……”
The old monk's expression froze. This poor monk was talking about Buddhism with you, and you're here talking about the law with me?
Are you the reincarnation of a barbell spirit?
"Master, it is reasonable if the law does not prohibit it…"
Seeing that the old monk did not speak, Lin Mu added,""Since the law doesn't say anything, it's reasonable and legal for me not to kowtow.”
"Amitabha!"
The old monk chanted the name of Buddha again and said,""Don't tell me benefactor isn't afraid that Buddha will blame you?”
"I'm not afraid!"
Lin Mu seemed to have unintentionally glanced at the Buddha statue of Shakya and said with a smile,""How can the Buddha blame me? Could it be that he flew up and punched me?”
"Amitabha! I've sinned!"
The old monk's face was almost unable to hold it in. He put his palms together and said solemnly,""Benefactor, your demonic roots are deeply planted. I'm afraid there will be a disaster in the future. Only by cutting off the three thousand threads of worry and accompanying the green lamp can we resolve this disaster!”
"The day before yesterday, did you guys fool Director Wu like this?" Lin Mu smiled.”
"Amitabha."
The old monk narrowed his eyes and smiled kindly.""This Penniless Monk doesn't understand what you're saying.”
