I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 529: Burning incense is really useful
A wisp of faith power rose from the thatched house and floated in front of Xia Qingdai. She stretched out her hand to try to control it, but the green smoke dissipated directly in front of her eyes.

Xia Qingdai stared at her hand for two seconds, then complained, "What a waste! I might as well just take a deep breath and inhale it."

She had just speculated that opening a new wild map would allow her to gain access to the original power, but she was disappointed when she realized that she had overthought.

However, Xia Qingdai was still very curious about why this thatched house suddenly appeared in her landscape glass tank. With a thought, she shrank rapidly and landed in the yard of the thatched house.

A tabby cat that was originally lying on a thatched roof and dozing in the sunset suddenly stood up on all fours, arched its back, and its golden fur exploded under the dazzling sunset, like a balloon that was suddenly blown up, and a low panting sound came from its mouth.

When Xia Qingdai heard the cat's meow, she tilted her head slightly and saw a tabby cat standing on the low roof. She suddenly smiled at it.

"Meow-"

The tabby cat leaped toward the open space on the other side and uttered a very shrill cry. It was obviously frightened and ran away.

The child, who was counting ants in the yard, turned around when he heard the cat's cry and said in a long, babyish voice, "Mommy, Mommy, Da Huang ran away~"

"Let it go." A young woman's voice came from the room.

Xia Qingdai tilted her head in the other direction with a puzzled look.

This cat is so sensitive that it can sense her presence. Generally speaking, although she looks like a humanoid monster in modern times, she can scare away cats, dogs and human puppies. But when she turns into a villain, she no longer has that domineering aura, and no small animals will be irritated by her.

Today, this cat is the first Lilliputian animal that can clearly sense her when she is invisible. It's really strange.

However, Xia Qingdai did not dwell on this question for too long. It was not surprising that animals were more sensitive. Old people often said that spiritual animals could even see things that humans could not see.

She was now more curious about the woman burning incense in the house, and she didn't know whether the appearance of this small wild map had anything to do with the woman inside?
Turning and stepping into the threshold of the thatched hut, Xia Qingdai saw a young woman kneeling on a mat that was so tattered that its original color could not be seen.

But she was seen holding an incense stick between the middle finger and index finger of both hands, with her thumb on the end of the incense, raising it to her chest, showing a pious posture of holding incense.

After finishing the worship, the young woman used her left hand to insert the last stick of incense in her hand on the left side of the incense table. She moved her lips slightly and silently recited the blessing with a respectful look on her face.

Xia Qingdai followed her pious gaze and was stunned again when she saw the picture of the deity hanging in front of the simple incense table.

Without her, the person in the painting was too similar to her. But she was sure it was not herself, because she did not have the otherworldly and sacred smell of the person in the portrait.

After carefully examining the portrait for a while, Xia Qingdai finally realized, "Isn't this the portrait of the ancestor god that Wen Renyi mentioned?"

The portrait and the stone statue are absolutely of the same lineage, even the fairy clothes have the same wide-sleeved style.

Xia Qingdai looked at the young woman praying devoutly, then at the familiar stranger in the portrait, and the three incense sticks inserted in front of the portrait.

Suddenly, she had a bold association. Isn't this a derivative of the stone statue map?
It turns out that we Chinese are the ones who should worship Buddha and pray to God. We not only know that we must kneel down and worship the true God respectfully, but we also do it very seriously. As the saying goes, sincerity is the key to success.

I think the incense offered to the portrait is the key to triggering the thatched house to appear in her landscape box. When Xia Qingdai is next to Owen, the perspective can move with Owen's movement. She can see whatever she wants and go wherever she wants without any delay.

On the starry sky map with the stone statue, even though Wen Renyi was the owner of the mountain village and had his back scratched by the stone statue, he was unable to help Xia Qingdai broaden her horizons.

Unless Xia Qingdai kept holding the stone statue and flying close to the ground, she could expand her field of vision, but it was also unstable. If the stone statue flew too high and too far from the ground, the map below would disappear, leaving only a vast expanse of fog.

Now the appearance of this bunch of incense is as if telling Xia Qingdai that it is the key for her to start clearing the wild map copy, which is quite like the meaning of a single spark can start a prairie fire.

Just imagine, what if all the people of the Qing Dynasty burned incense in front of her portrait? The scene is too beautiful to watch!
Xia Qingdai did not stay in this dim and low thatched house for too long, and walked back to the yard.

Standing in the middle of the yellow mud ground, Xia Qingdai looked around and found that the outside of the yard was shrouded in thick fog.

The sun was clearly setting in the sky, and the light in the yard was golden, but there was thick fog. In other words, the thick fog was fake, and it was just blocking her from seeing the world outside the yard.

Maybe if someone outside lit incense and prayed devoutly, it would help her open her eyes.

Xia Qingdai then looked around the small courtyard again, and suddenly discovered that there was a basket filled with crystal rice in the corner of the house.

It is literally "big" rice, each grain of rice is as big as a small person's palm!
Isn't this the rice she gave to Wen Renyi? How come it appeared in this small thatched hut?

Xia Qingdai tapped her chin with her finger, rolled her eyes twice, and quickly recalled. Wen Renyi had said before that he would go down the mountain to recruit some workers, so he thought he was going here.

This means that this place must be not far from the mountain village.

Yes, the hostess of this house is worshiping a portrait that looks very much like her. Of course, she can't be too far away from the stone statue. This is clearly within the coverage of the dilapidated temple where the stone statue was placed before.

Xia Qingdai figured out the reason why this wild map appeared and decided to leave.

Just as she was about to leave, the little child who had been squatting in the yard watching the ants came staggering over.

Xia Qingdai originally thought that he was coming for her, but unexpectedly he was going for the basket full of rice.

The little guy squatted down in front of the basket, opened his mouth slightly, held his little face and looked at the basket longingly, sucking saliva from the corners of his mouth from time to time.

This cute look made Xia Qingdai laugh, and it was easy to guess what was going on in the little guy's mind at this moment.

"Mom, Mom, I'm hungry. Can we have dinner today?" The little guy called out to his mom, but his eyes never left the rice basket.

"We'll eat together when your father comes home." The young woman got up from the mat, walked to the child, and lovingly stroked his little rat's tail. She consoled him, "Today, I'll cook you wild vegetable and potato soup."

After a pause, as if he couldn't bear to see the child's face completely fall, he smiled and said, "How about I give you half a grain of fairy rice?"

"Great! Great! That's great!"
