It was about three days before Xiao Zhengyi's body began to emit a sour odor.
The Bailu Temple's main hall was finally rebuilt.
Xu Shenxing sat cross-legged on the praying mat a little restlessly. Qin Xingyan sat respectfully beside him. Jasmine, on the other hand, was not used to sitting cross-legged and had already slipped off somewhere.
"Xingyan has already told us about the little monsters at the foot of the mountain. I would like to thank you personally."
The current Abbey Dean of the Bailu Temple thanked Xu Shenxing once again.
Xu Shenxing, who did not know what expression to use, became even more uneasy.
He felt that if he were to ask these Taoists when they would pay him, he would be beaten to death by Qin Xingyan.
So, he decided to use a silly smile to get away with it.
"I've heard from Xingyan why you're here." Faced with Xu Shenxing's kind smile, the Abbey Dean felt that it was time to talk about something more practical. "To be honest, we haven't done much research on spirit veins … After all, in the past, there was plenty of spirit energy. Even without spirit veins, one could still cultivate. But in this era, the spirit energy has dried up. Even if we want to study spirit veins, we don't have the means and conditions to do so. "
This was like a laboratory. When they had enough funds, they did not want to commercialize a certain experimental product. When they were short of funds, they remembered that they still had that product, but they had no money to commercialize it …
The current cultivation world of the Chinese Empire was in a similar awkward situation.
"However, although ordinary cultivators do not have the ability to sense and protect spirit veins, there is another kind of existence that can instinctively sense and protect spirit veins."
"Oh, so that's how it is!" Xu Shenxing crossed his arms and nodded seriously.
Seeing his expression, Qin Xingyan, who had lived in Ying Apartments for a while and knew a little about Xu Shenxing, immediately felt that this guy did not understand anything. He was just trying to maintain his image as an expert and was subconsciously pretending to be cool …
That was indeed the case.
"That's right, that kind of existence is …"
The Abbey Dean paused for a moment, then blurted out the name together with Xu Shenxing.
"God."
"A fairy, I guess."
Xu Shenxing and the old man looked at each other. After a long while, Xu Shenxing pretended that nothing had happened and said, "Well, God."
"It's too late to change your mind now!"
Qin Xingyan finally couldn't help complaining with his eyes half-opened.
But our hero didn't care.
He stroked his chin and said, "But the Earth God is also a god, right? Jiang Jin clearly has a deity, so why hasn't the spirit vein improved? "
After all, the old abbey dean was old. Having experienced so many ups and downs, he was naturally more tactful. Different from the outspoken Qin Xingyan, he pretended not to notice Xu Shenxing's pretentiousness and continued to explain in the slow tone of an old man, "Then it may be that the land is relatively weak. His power is insufficient, or his position is unstable."
"Oh, that guy is indeed quite weak …"
Xu Shenxing thought back and realized that the Earth God of Jiangjin couldn't last more than ten seconds under his hands. That should be counted in.
Then, he carefully recalled that ever since he returned to Earth, it seemed that other than the old abbey dean in front of him who used the power of the entire White Deer Temple and the Crimson Heaven Mountain Vein to hold on for 30 seconds, nothing else could last more than 10 seconds in front of him …
"That's right. After all, in this era, there are not many temples of the Earth God in the heyday. It's inevitable that the strength of this kind of deity will decline." The old abbey dean sighed and sounded like he was lamenting about this.
Xu Shenxing suddenly understood. When he first met the Earth God, she did say that her temple was demolished during the period of the Four Olds and had not been rebuilt until now.
"In short, if we want to restore the spirit vein, I'm afraid we can only ask for help from other deities."
The old abbey dean came to a conclusion.
"Let me ask you … if the spirit vein continues to leak like that, what will happen?"
Xu Shenxing thought for a while and asked the old man, "Will it just be a simple increase of abnormal events and move closer to the ancient times?"
"Of course not … If breaking the spirit vein could restore the spiritual energy to the level of the ancient times, cultivators would have done so long ago." The old man smiled bitterly and said, "The amount of spiritual energy in each spirit vein is fixed. Once too much is lost, the vitality of that place will be cut off. The land will become saline-alkali land where plants can't grow. The ground will sink and collapse to form sinkholes. The air will become turbid and even miasma will start to form. The water will be contaminated by filth … In short, it will become a place where humans can't live."
"That's really not good." Xu Shenxing could not help but frown. He did not expect the consequences to be so serious. "Then do you know where other deities can be invited to Jiang Jin? Ah, just leave it to me. You don't have to worry about it … "
"Actually, I don't know either. In this era, all the deities seem to have disappeared. It's already incredible that you can find a deity … You know, even in Crimson Heaven Mountain, where there is still some spiritual energy, there are no mountain deities anymore. " The old man shook his head, but before Xu Shenxing could show a disappointed expression, he waved his horsetail whisk and slowly said, "However, if you trust this poor Daoist, this poor Daoist has a way."
"What is it?" Xu Shenxing's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly.
"Since you can't find other deities, why don't you become a deity yourself, master?"
The old abbey dean smiled calmly and told Xu Shenxing and Qin Xingyan his idea under the dull eyes of the old abbey dean.
It turned out that during the anti-Japanese war, Yun Guanyu, the abbey dean of Bailu Temple, once saved a strange person on the battlefield. After the man recovered, he gave Yun Guanyu a Deity Tablet. What was unbelievable was that the tablet contained the deity position of a God of War!
However, the Bailu Temple was full of cultivators and did not have a deep understanding of martial arts. Occasionally, there were one or two people who were good at fighting, but they were far from being able to inherit the deity position. In fact, after a study by a group of senior officials of Bailu Temple, they found that in this era where spiritual energy was scarce, no one could cultivate to the level of inheriting the deity position through martial arts.
It was not until Xu Shenxing appeared out of nowhere and beat up the whole Bailu Temple for a groundless crime that the old men were surprised and doubtful at the same time, they also realized that Xu Shenxing might be the only person in the world who could inherit the deity position.
Later, the old abbey dean proposed to ask Xu Shenxing to help those monsters move because he wanted to test Xu Shenxing. If Xu Shenxing forced those monsters to move by force, the Bailu Temple would not have taken out the Deity Tablet.
But Xu Shenxing didn't do that (although from a certain perspective, he was even more overboard). All he did was scare the other party. Moreover, he didn't care about the gains and losses, and sold the favor of all the demons to White Deer Temple. Compared with the Deity Tablet, which could only be seen but not taken, this favor was obviously more valuable.
Therefore, after that, the senior officials of Bailu Temple unanimously decided to give the deity position to Xu Shenxing.
— Anyway, their proud disciple Qin Xingyan lived in Xu Shenxing's house. Maybe the deity position would be exported to the domestic market …
