The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Different from the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, the path of Shinto does not value the practitioner's own cultivation, but pays more attention to the cohesion of incense and vows.

Simply put, the more followers of Shinto practitioners, the stronger they are.

However, it is too difficult to establish a belief from scratch, so the vast majority of Shinto practitioners will attach to an existing belief entity, hoping to reduce the difficulty of practice.

This shortcut has proven to be effective.

The vast majority of practitioners who switch to Shinto can possess the strength of ordinary ghosts and gods in an extreme time and become a qualified ghosts and gods.

However, since it is a shortcut, it will naturally have its consequences and costs.

Attaching to an entity with faith means that Shinto practitioners give up their dominance, and every word and deed must conform to the taboos of the entity of faith.

Ordinary people who practice spells just need to abide by various taboos when using spells, so that their words and deeds are in harmony with ghosts and gods.

However, practitioners who have embarked on the path of God have to abide by the taboos of ghosts and gods almost all their lives.

To lose oneself and become the incarnation of some kind of powerful ghost is a shortcut to Shinto.

It wasn't until Confucianism came to power and mastered the power of sacrifice to ghosts and gods that these taboos and regulations were slightly relaxed.

Because Confucianism, who has mastered the power of national sacrifices, can completely customize a certain kind of divine power for individuals—that is, "mortals enshrine the gods."

Since the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties, innate ghosts and gods have long ceased to be the mainstream in the Central Plains, replaced by all kinds of mortals who were made gods due to meritorious deeds.

The most famous among them is Guan Yu, who has the name of "loyalty".

But even if the taboo is slightly relaxed, this method is not to build a belief from scratch, so the strength in all aspects is still not as good as the really powerful ghosts and gods.

Therefore, in order to break through all kinds of shackles, the fourth method of conferring gods was born naturally.

It is neither becoming a god by oneself, nor becoming the incarnation of a god, and it is not becoming a god in the body of a mortal...

The fourth path of Shinto is to plunder the authority of the gods, seize the divinity with one's own body, and finally become a god walking in the world, a human god in the eyes of the world.

The boa constrictor god who lost his faith originally became the Mohu Luojia of the eight gods.

Then, by chance, he became a part of Pei Wende, and finally helped him become the second true god who descended from the world after the "true gods of the heavens".

However, after all, the Boa Constrictor God is just a dying god originating from an ancient country in the Western Regions.

His divinity and power have long since disappeared with the passage of time.

Leaving a priesthood empty was also included in the ranks of the eight gods, becoming one of the eight unborn gods.

If it weren't for Pei Wende being strong enough as his human god.

Not to mention being compared with the original ghosts and gods such as Taishan Fujun, Haotian God, and Taiyi Tianzun, he may not even be able to compare with the stronger land and mountain gods.

If this is the case, the boa constrictor god who has been blessed by Pei Wende's lifelong cultivation, merit, and faith has already reached the limit of a god without feet.

So in this situation, how can Pei Wende, whose divine way has come to an end, break through his limit?

The answer is naturally to take the boa constrictor god as the cornerstone, plunder the rights and responsibilities of other gods, and upgrade the footless god to the god of scales, the god of beasts, and even the god of life.

"The remains of the Buddha, the source of Buddhism..."

Gently holding the phalanx of Sakyamuni in his hand, Pei Wende, who already understood the essence of the gods, could clearly perceive the huge belief and merit gathered on this phalanx.

These beliefs and merits were not possessed by the Buddha during his lifetime.

In other words, the original Sakyamuni was just a practitioner like Pei Wende, and the relics left by him were no different from those left by other Buddhist practitioners.

It's just that with the passage of time and the prevalence of Buddhism in ancient India and the Central Plains, the relics left by him during his lifetime have naturally become some kind of sacred objects.

Thousands of years of worship, thousands of years of belief, thousands of years of worship...

Even a stubborn stone can become a sacred object, let alone a relic that originally possessed various supernatural abilities.

With the help of this phalanx of Sakyamuni, which has extraordinary significance, Pei Wende can completely declare to the outside world that Mohu Luojia is a god transformed from the phalanx of Buddha.

No matter how many people believed this statement, with the passage of time, Pei Wende was more or less able to transfer the belief and merits on his finger bones to the boa constrictor god.

At that time, in addition to the identity of the god without feet, the boa constrictor god may also have the title of an incarnation of Buddha.

Of course, although this method can perfectly inherit all the attributes of this phalanx, the time that can be consumed is counted in hundreds of years.

If it was another practitioner, he would be able to successfully advance to a powerful ghost and god comparable to the Yang God of the other side at the cost of a hundred years, and he would naturally earn it.

However, Pei Wende has practiced so far, and it has only been more than ten years.

Yuanshen has been promoted to Yangshen, and Dharma Xiang has successfully crossed the other side...

Under such circumstances, it would be too long for Pei Wende to wait another hundred years for the transformation of the boa constrictor god.

Therefore, Pei Wende took a more brutal approach as a matter of course.

click...

Accompanied by a clear cracking sound, the Sakyamuni Buddha Treasure, which was enshrined by countless people for thousands of years, was crushed so abruptly by Pei Wende.

"I belong to Weishan Mountain, and I have always done my own way!"

Staring indifferently at the crushed finger bone relic, Pei Wende discarded all the attributes related to Buddha, and only absorbed the merits and beliefs stored for thousands of years.

hold head high!
In an instant, a silent dragon chant spread throughout Weishan Mountain.

In the next instant, the boa constrictor god descended, Fudo Myoka descended, and Shakyamuni Buddha descended...

At this moment, Pei Wende seemed to be the co-incarnation of the boa constrictor god, Fudo Myoko, and Sakyamuni Buddha, bursting out with unprecedented spiritual brilliance.

hold head high!
Another dragon chant resounded through the heavens and the earth.

Pei Wende, who had transformed into a furnace, stood still, and a ferocious clawless black dragon emerged from his celestial spirit cap.

I saw that this clawless black dragon first devoured its own true form - the boa constrictor god.

Immediately afterwards, it devoured Pei Wende's Dharma form - Fudo Mingwang.

In the end, the clawless black dragon, still feeling inadequate, pounced on the Buddha statue transformed by the Sakyamuni Buddha treasure.

hold head high!
In the end, the clawless black dragon successfully integrated the three powers of Tao, Buddha, and God into one, and once again roared up to the sky, completing the most important transformation in his life.
