Chapter 653 The Secret Method of the Tree God
Five hundred miles northeast of Luobao City, there is a small island dozens of miles away from the land, called Dongyuan Island. Because it is far away from the land, the island is not big and steep, and the properties are barren, no one has ever lived on the island. Occasionally, fishing boats dock and stop, and it has not been developed into a tourist area.
Deep in the steep cliff of Dongyuan Island, there are two men and women. The temperature here is much lower than that of Luobao City, but these two people are soaked in a pool in a cold weather. This is not a hot spring. From the surface, except for the exposed places of their heads, they are already frozen. It seems that the water here is colder than other places on Dongyuan Island.
The two of them were soaking with their eyes closed, but the man suddenly frowned and said "Huh".
"Brother Han, what's wrong?" The woman opened her eyes and asked gently.
The man shook his head, a little strange, and then explained: "When I came a few days ago, I passed by Luobao City. It was rumored that there was a demon alliance planning humans, and many righteous people rushed to eliminate monsters. I did not follow him, but saw many of them attacking an ancient banyan tree. I also knew about the ancient banyan tree. It was a big monster who had been a spirit for hundreds of years, and its strength should not be underestimated. Although the people in my righteous way were not good, the consequences of the tree monster if it fought desperately were unimaginable."
"So you took action?" the woman asked with a gentle smile, as if she was not surprised by this.
"The tree demon has been forced away, and what cannot move is his body. I am afraid that they will suffer losses, so I secretly helped them with help, set up a barrier for the ancient banyan tree, and cut off its vitality. Even if the tree demon returns, it will not be able to return to its position. In this way, the tree demon's strength will be greatly reduced, so I don't have to worry."
"What happened later?"
"I came here later, but..." the man frowned slightly again, "Just just now, I vaguely felt that the barrier I arranged was destroyed, and it completely collapsed in a very short period of time. This is incredible!"
The woman was surprised and then comforted: "Maybe you felt wrong. With Brother Han, how many people in the world can break your barrier? There is no need for senior experts to help the demon clan, and there may not be such a strong demon clan."
"I hope so," the man did not relax. "It seems that I have to go and learn about it again. If someone can break my barrier, this is a big problem and will be my natural enemy."
"Let's continue to practice, and I will walk with you in the same place."
"good."
The two of them did not speak and continued to practice in the ice water.
After Murong Shu completed his appearance, he left his body again and appeared beside Pu Yang.
"Not bad!" Pu Yang smiled and praised: "I thought it would take at least one day and one night to recover slowly. I didn't expect you to change it so much in half an hour."
Murong Shu sighed: "I rely on you. If you hadn't broken the barrier, I would have no place to use it. I could only watch my body die, and without Yinquan's help, I would have to heal myself with all my strength, and I wouldn't have that fast speed."
"Look! You are still some believers, the tree god. This manifestation once made you admire everyone, and it will probably be spread online in a while." Looking at those people who were shocked and fearful, Pu Yang was a little funny. If they knew that the worship of the "tree god" was watching them from behind, they were actually a monster, and I wonder if they would run away in fear?
Murong Shu hesitated for a moment, then involuntarily observed left and right, then said cautiously and quietly: "I do this not only to satisfy my vanity, nor to look at their fearful and terrifying attitude, nor to tease them. In fact... when they worship me, I can get a little power. I don't know how this came about, but it can really make me gain something."
Pu Yang couldn't help but be surprised, "Can incense and light candles help you improve your cultivation? Then why don't you buy more, burn incense for yourself every day, and how much experience value should you get?"
Murong Shu was a little embarrassed, and then shook his head: "The difference has nothing to do with incense and candles, but with people. When they worship me from the heart, no matter whether they have any requests or repentance that has done bad things, I can get some strength. It has nothing to do with their starting point, but only with their sincerity and time. Of course, most people are not sincere and time can only last for a while. Even so, as long as there are too many, the harvest will be great."
Pu Yang then thought deeply and could see that Murong Shu told the secret because of his life-saving grace. This should be related to his cultivation and even a shortcut to practice!
"In the past, I could not transform. No matter how deeply rooted I was, no matter how big the body could grow, my harvest was limited, and my body could not move, so I was limited by the environment. Other demons could go to a more suitable place to practice, and I could find treasures in heaven and earth, but I couldn't. I also don't have any inheritance techniques and could not learn from my masters. Apart from absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, I could only wait for time and exchange for a little progress."
Murong Shu slowly told his experience: "In the past, this place was either a big city or a small number of villagers. When I had certain abilities, I helped them ride the wind and cool down and stop drought within a certain range. The original purpose was to do good deeds and accumulate virtues so as not to be eliminated by the demon hunter. Later I found that their sincere respect could allow me to gain an indescribable strength, which was faster than I naturally practiced."
Pu Yang suddenly realized that this was the secret of Murong Shu becoming Luo Bao’s greatest demon!
According to human division standards, the Wood clan belongs to plant elves, which are even lower than animal monsters. It is already difficult to obtain wisdom and cannot be inherited. The cultivation process will only be more difficult and slow, and usually accumulate magic power through a long period of time.
Murong Shu has always been called the number one monster in Luo Bao's area. However, because of his low-keyness and disagreement with others, other demon clans also stayed away from him, and he also felt that he was mysterious. Xiang Hehai was a sea clan, Qin Yao was from another place, and other demon clans were similar. Everyone only knew that Murong Shu was a native of this place for thousands of years, so he remembered that his powerful magic power was inseparable from the longest time he had practiced.
Now his sharing made Pu Yang discover that a large part of his power came from believers. Over the past few hundred years, he has not known how many generations of villagers he has experienced. The more uncivilized the ancient times, the more pure the faith of the villagers, the more sincere the people. Now people are impetuous and smart, but the population base is larger and many people are many times larger. There are always some sincerity, and there are many people seeking fame and fortune. This is the reason why Murong Shu grows stronger and stronger.
"You can do it too." Murong Shu suddenly said.
"Me?" Pu Yang shook his head: "I can't create a god myself, right? It's a historical opportunity to have today. If it were now, others wouldn't be able to copy it."
"No, you human race are born with conditions that we do not have. When you can become a hero and a great man, and when countless people are fanatical about you, you have the opportunity to absorb the power of faith! The same is true for the stars today. When a star can gather a large group of fanatical fans, even if the work is a little mediocre, it can achieve its reputation and commercial value. On the contrary, if you cannot gather fanatical fans, even if the work is outstanding, the stars will be inferior to the work."
This old guy can even use the stars of the world to make Pu Yang a little funny, and people also think: "Celebrities rely on popularity, politicians rely on support, and religious leaders rely on believers... They are essentially the same. As long as you use their methods well, it is the so-called power of faith."
Seeing that he understood it, Murong Shu sighed again: "This is why since ancient times, the righteous way has been there forever. The so-called "attaining the truth has many helps but not helps the truth is this principle. By killing and plundering, evil methods may grow rapidly in a short time, but in the long run, they cannot be compared with the right way that the people want. What the people want! In a sense, it is the same. It can be admired by hundreds of thousands or hundreds of people, and can become a great sect family; it can get more support from the people and support the country's destiny."
Pu Yang was shocked. He thought Murong Shu was just a shortcut, but he didn't expect that many things could be understood. This seems to be not a steady shortcut, but it is also understood from the most orthodox Sunshine Avenue!
Good policies have long been wise to the people's will, and the people's will have long been passed, and the country's fortune will flourish. However, the last emperors often suffered from long-term corruption, and those who lost the support of the people, the policies were difficult to implement, and the country's fortunes were declining.
Perhaps it is a bit mysterious and unproven to link popularity, support, people's hearts, etc. with the power of faith, but in turn, popularity can gather the commercial value of celebrities, people's hearts can promote the prosperity of the country, and sincere belief can make the recipient enhance his magic power.
Why is the Tianshi Mansion a sect that has lasted for thousands of years? In addition to the brand and profoundness of the Taoist ancestor Zhang Tianshi, the founder of Taoism, also has the efforts of each generation of Tianshi, including its own development, the political and economic environment, and the image of the righteous way of eliminating demons and defending the Tao for thousands of years. Not to mention the hearts of the people in the world, at least around the Tianshi Mansion and in the hearts of some Taoist believers, they are very admired and worshipped.
On the other hand, another sect familiar to Pu Yang, the Yizhendao Danyang Sect where Fu Zheying is located, has fallen to a few people, has no brand, no background, and no popularity or believers. Even if Zhang Qinghe and his apprentice work hard, their starting point will be low and they have been poor and destitute.
After thinking a lot, Pu Yang smiled and said, "Thank you for telling me such a secret. I can't use it for the time being. Maybe I have a chance in the future. Don't worry, I won't spread it casually."
