Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 16: The unexpected birth of a ghost
Of these three traditional methods, the so-called dry kissing method is the most interesting.

In the past five thousand years, there has been a common custom in rural areas called adopting godparents. In the north, it is called adopting a godfather or godmother, and in the south, it is called adopting a foster father or foster mother.

The difference between the two is also very big. In the northern method of adopting a kinship system, people are usually recognized as their own children. They adopt a kinship system for different purposes. If one feels that his own children are fragile and he wants to raise them, he will adopt people with many children as his godfathers and godmothers.
Those who think their children have a weak destiny and want to take advantage of their luck will find it difficult to marry those who have a happy family, wealth and power. Usually, only those with a good enough relationship will agree.
No matter which one it is, you need to visit your godfather and godmother every year to enhance your relationship.

In the southern method of adopting a child, the adopted child is usually a non-human being, such as a stone, a tree, etc., and these are all things with some special features, because people believe that they are spiritual beings that can communicate with ghosts and other things, and provide shelter for the child to prevent them from being disturbed by ghosts.

(In fact, in modern times, this method has become a custom and way for two families to enhance their relationship and friendship.)
This folk method may seem ordinary, but it actually has some potential, because its effectiveness depends entirely on the strength of the godparents you recognize.

If you acknowledge it weakly, the help it provides to you will naturally be small. If you acknowledge it strongly, the help it provides to you will naturally be large.

Among the two methods of finding relatives, I currently cannot find any important person with whom I have a good relationship, so I give up the first one.

The second type is the key point, which is to recognize spiritual objects as godrelatives. Ordinary spiritual objects are useless to him, unless they are big trees or stones at the entrance of the village that are regarded as godrelatives by many people and have been worshipped for many years. Maybe they can be of some help.

So, is it possible that I can accept God as my godparent?

Louis's eyes involuntarily turned to the statue of the Kitchen God, and then he began to turn the page, magnifying the law and looking at it carefully.

After a brief observation and thinking, Louis shook his head and nodded. Among the detailed methods of the Ganjin Fa, there was actually something about God's recognition of relatives.

In the description, gods are said to be special, extremely powerful, and the pinnacle of spirituality. To recognize one as a godparent, one must first obtain the other's consent. Secondly, one must also be qualified, otherwise one will not be able to bear it and will suffer backlash. These qualifications are related to mysterious things such as fate and luck.

Things like fate and luck are too mysterious and illusory, so let’s not consider them for now.

"Give it a try. Remember, the Kitchen God is the guardian deity of the family, and this is the only statue of him in the other world that I've personally worshipped for so long. If this one doesn't work, there's no hope for the others."

In fact, it was because the Kitchen God was the only magic in the Min Dian that was related to gods (the stove ash magic). He had always felt that the reason why his magic, which was not suitable for local conditions, could be effective was that it had a lot to do with the Min Dian. Therefore, if the statue of the god wanted to be effective, he might have to choose one that was related to the Min Dian magic.

Louis first took out a bowl of water, dropped a drop of blood from his middle finger into it, then quickly knelt down in front of the statue of the Kitchen God and began the ceremony of three kneelings and nine prostrations.

At the same time, he chanted, "Grandpa Kitchen God, my son Louis... may his protection keep him healthy and free from illness and disaster... I will always offer him offerings in the future, with gratitude in my heart."

Louis recited it over and over again while knocking his forehead against the ground. Each time he hit it hard, traces of blood soon dyed the ground red.

As he performed the ritual, the statue moved slightly, the incense ashes in the altar began to swirl in a breeze, and the drop of blood in the clear water remained condensed and shimmered.

The next moment, blood flew into the statue and landed on the table, on the cover of Emilia's diary, which was separated by a layer of wood under the statue. A black light dissipated, and the two eyes of the statue suddenly came to life, as if they had a hint of spirituality.

The wisps of smoke emitted by the three thin incense sticks condensed at this moment and puffed onto Louis' body, smelling surprisingly fragrant.

Looking at this scene, Louis stood up and looked at it in surprise and doubt. This was not the same as what was recorded in the book.

If God agreed, the vision should be much more powerful than this, and there should be a mysterious knowledge in the consciousness that agreed, but none of this happened.

But if there is no consent, how do we explain these situations?

After a detailed review and inspection.

Louis frowned at the statue.

It seems like it succeeded; but it also seems like it didn’t.

He did recognize a god relative, but not a god. To be precise, he recognized this statue of the god.

This statue has a spirit and has an inexplicable relationship with the Kitchen God.

"What is this?"

Louis was a bit amused. Since the other party was not a true god, but just a spirit born from the statue, what power could he have?
Doesn't this go against your original intention?
Moreover, how did the spirit happen to be born?
Shouldn't the birth of a spirit be a matter of chance and coincidence?

"Well, I've already admitted it, there's no going back on my word."

"Anyway, adopting a godparent is a gamble, as long as there's no loss."

Louis kowtowed again respectfully, offered fruits and vegetables, and then began to watch the other two traditional methods.

When he looked, he did not see any faint light coming from the eyes of the statue.

Enlarge the handwriting.

Various detailed introductions and methods are presented.

The method of using the rooster head to exorcise evil spirits. Since ancient times, the crowing rooster has been called the most yang thing. People generally believe that the crowing of a rooster indicates the appearance of the sun, and when the sun comes out, all ghosts will disappear.

Therefore, the method of using the rooster head to dispel evil spirits was derived. Throwing a rooster head over the roof can dispel the evil spirits in the house.

Well, this is another traditional method to deal with ghosts and evil spirits.

There's no way around it, most folk customs seem to be related to ghosts.

Louis shook his head and looked at the last folk method.

Magic trick: Blade-spitting technique.

This technique is actually just one type of magic trick. Five thousand years ago, magic tricks, or juggling, could be regarded as a huge grassroots industry. For example, there were acts such as breaking stones with the chest, swallowing swords, three immortals returning to the cave, and the magic rope. There were a mixture of techniques and magic tricks in them. Although most of them were just fancy tricks, they were also very powerful when practiced to a deep level.

Throughout history, there have been many extraordinary people who used their powerful magic to sneak into the court and became very powerful for a time. Of course, the court was treacherous, and most of these people ended up in a bad way.

The so-called blade-spitting technique is actually somewhat related to sword swallowing, or sword swallowing is a part of this folk method. Once you master it, you can swallow sharp blades raw, hide needles under your tongue, and even when you master it, you can spit it out like a hidden weapon, which is very powerful and can easily kill people.

Louis nodded, his eyes slightly filled with joy. This was probably his first technique that had direct killing power, although it needed to be fully developed.

"I have to get my medicine made again. It's so troublesome to find medicine in America."

"And there's a rooster head. Do the chickens here crow?"

……

Time passed slowly.

The next day.

Louis held the needle in his mouth, his tongue moving cautiously.

Opposite him, Emma looked up at him while eating, and immediately lowered her head when he shifted his gaze to her.

Louis ignored her fear, but it did not change the fact that she would continue to undergo "correction" today.

But David went out so early in the morning. What was he doing?

Louis thought about the surprise David mentioned.
