Maoshan Taoist priests practice falsehood and become reality

Chapter 37 The Incense Spell
  At dawn, Su Heng returned to the apartment.

As soon as you enter the door, you will feel a small and unfamiliar feeling.

There is no harm in comparing. I have seen the large flat floor of Xia Qin's family and the high-end psychic research institute. In comparison, this apartment is like a doghouse.

But Su Heng didn't dislike it. After all, this was his first home in a strange world. No matter how small it is, it has always been a place that sheltered him from wind and rain.

After briefly washing up, Su Heng lay on the bed and sorted out what happened during this period.

Whether it was Xia Qin's curse or the evil spirit incident in Baihua Village, black marks left by Class A evil spirits were found at the scene.

There is no doubt that there is an A-level evil spirit operating in District 9.

Su Heng clicked on her phone to see if there was any relevant news.

"What are the frequent cases of evil spirits hurting people?" The probability may exceed 6%", "The draft related to the expansion of investigators officially enters the review process today", "High temperature weather, residents in many places have heat symptoms, how to prevent heat stroke, experts teach you some tips", "A man was arrested for dating in a hotel , insisting that 500 yuan is the betrothal gift in installments"...

Su Heng clicked on the first news item, and a short interview video popped up.

Ru Yue: "Yang Shuang, what do you think of the recent increase in the probability of cases of evil spirits injuring people, or the possibility that it has exceeded the 6% safety zone?"

Yang Shuang: "I think this is nonsense. First of all, there is currently no public data to support this statement. Secondly, people sense that evil spirits appear frequently, which just shows that people are paying more attention to seances. People I like topics related to evil spirits. The media has been reporting on them and the Internet is discussing them, so it feels like there are related cases happening every day. In fact? Put down your mobile phone, go to the street and take a look, where are the evil spirits?"

Su Heng scrolled down, and the messages below were full of excitement.

[You say it and I laugh]: Another cloud anchor who has the ability to come to the outer city to have a look. Who dares to go out on the streets at night now?
  [Love eating egg yolk pie]: I think Yang Shuang is right, but only in areas with higher security. In relatively sparsely populated areas, the probability of evil spirits appearing is indeed increasing.

[Wings of Freedom]: Yang Shuang is a big **, a friend of mine was killed by an evil spirit, and he is still talking nonsense!

[Sitting on the clouds]: The outer city is unclear, but the inner city is very safe. I haven't heard of any evil spirits. Don't be led along.

Comments are polarized, with some supporting Yang Shuang and others opposing it. Su Heng noticed that most of the people who opposed Yang Shuang lived in outer cities. Most of the supporters live in urban centers.

Very strange.

Since evil spirits are attracted to crowds, in the past, such cases mostly occurred in places with high population density. However, nowadays, uncharacteristically, they mostly occur in outer cities with low population density.

On the other hand, the reason why evil spirits have a bad reputation is that they have no thinking and cannot communicate. As long as humans appear in their field of vision, they will inevitably attack.

Among the injury cases announced so far, the evil spirit rating has not exceeded D level.

This shows that the A-level evil spirits have not really taken any action in the ninth district, but have indirectly harmed a very small number of humans by spreading curses in a subtle way.

"Obviously we can severely damage the entire ninth district with one blow, but we still have reservations."

Based on the analysis, Su Heng did not feel that the A-level evil spirit was without thought. On the contrary, it may have been acting according to its own will.

Know how to exercise restraint and be patient.

Su Heng even suspected that the explosion on Xingchen Street was deliberately caused by evil spirits to eliminate traces of their existence.

If that's the case, it's too dangerous. After all, there is no guarantee whether the evil spirit will attack Xia Qin again.

But how did the A-level evil spirit enter the safe zone? Is it possible that the protective cover is damaged?
  Su Heng couldn't understand.

"With my current strength, it's still difficult to compete with an A-level evil spirit."

Faint small words appeared in his eyes.

Name: Su Heng

Identity: Maoshan Taoist priest (true and passed on)…

Spells: Pure Heaven and Earth Divine Curse (True), Pure Heart Divine Curse (True), Cleansing Mouth Divine Curse (True), Blessing Incense Magic (False·100/100), Golden Light Magic (4/500·False)…

Mind Dharma: Gu Yi’s Mind Dharma (True Level 1)
  Origin: 2.7 (0.4 daily increase)

Helping Xia Qin eliminate the curse, she gained 2 source points, which automatically increased by 0.4 after zero o'clock every day. Currently, Su Heng has 2.7 source points.

There are still 2.3 source points left to turn the fake Golden Light Divine Mantra into a real one. Passive alone will take five days if you do nothing.

It's been a while, do you want to take the initiative to hunt evil spirits?

Su Heng had no clues and was running around like a headless fly. It was too stupid. Su Heng remembered the news headline that he saw "The draft related to the expansion of investigators officially enters the review process today."

What about entering a séance as an investigator?
  He clicked on his phone again and read carefully.

"...In view of the risk of escalation of the evil spirit situation, it is necessary for the seance to expand its strength to cope with emergencies...The talent recruitment standards should lower the threshold..."

The more I look at it, the more I think about it.

"The initiator of the draft is Wei Zonglin. Could it be that he has already known about the entry of Class A evil spirits into the Ninth District? Is this expansion of investigators from the society actually a response plan?"

"Of course, it could be just a coincidence."

"In short, given the investigators' prior attention, if the review can pass, it will indeed be a good choice."

After some brainstorming, Su Heng finally felt tired. He sent a text message asking for leave to his master, and then fell asleep.

……

At 12:26, ​​Su Heng fell asleep and woke up naturally.

Su Heng was eating lunch and checking messages on her phone.

The master replied, asking him to pay more attention to rest and come back to the Taoist temple when he has time.

Xia Xiaoling didn't send any message, so she probably hadn't woken up yet.

Just in time, Su Heng was ready to practice Gu Yi's mental method during his rare free time.

When practicing, you need to take a bath to purify yourself, light incense, sit cross-legged, and recite the inner teachings repeatedly.

Su Heng took out a porcelain bowl, filled it with one-third of the millet, and when he put in three sticks of incense, he suddenly remembered the incantation.

The incantation mantra is mainly used to pray for incense and spread it to heaven. In the past, Su Heng felt that it was not useful. In addition, due to the tightness of the source, he did not choose to practice the mantra to make it true after reciting it for a long time.

"Anyway, I can't practice the Golden Light Divine Curse, so why not try the Zhuxiang Divine Curse."

Consuming 1 source point can transform the Incense-Blessing Mantra (false) into the Incense-Blessing Mantra (true). Do you want to change it?

"Yes."

After consuming 1 source point, the incantation will change.

As per the old rules, Su Heng first recited the mouth-purifying mantra and the mind-purifying mantra to fill up the buff.

Then, he lit three sticks of incense and muttered:
  "The Tao is learned from the heart, and the false incense is passed down from the heart. The incense burns in the jade furnace, and the heart is in front of the emperor. The true spirit is looking forward to it, and the immortal is coming to the pavilion. The ministers are informed, and it reaches the nine heavens."

The smoke curled up and rose slowly.

Su Heng sat cross-legged and silently recited Gu Yi's teachings in his heart.

Time passed by, and Su Heng, who was immersed in practice, suddenly heard the disembodied sound of chanting coming from the sky.

The content of the chanting is exactly Gu Yi’s mental method!

However, the sound of chanting seemed to contain the sound of the great road, causing Su Heng to unknowingly start repeating it.

"The ice has been cold for thousands of years, and everything is still. The mind and spirit are united, and the energy should follow each other. There is no ignorance, no anger, no desire, no pursuit... The sun and the moon work hard, and the grain clothes are completed."

"...the sun and the moon work hard, and the grain clothes are completed."

After finishing reciting, Su Heng opened his eyes again and saw that the three sticks of incense in the porcelain bowl in front of him had already burned out.

Logically speaking, it takes an hour to burn a stick of incense.

But he clearly felt that only a few minutes had passed.

At this time, Su Heng was full of energy, feeling heat surging in his body, and quickly checked his own cultivation.

Small words appeared faintly in his eyes.
