Chapter 210 The Six Secrets of Descending Truth: Divine Vision
After laughing, Chen Miao suddenly remembered the scene when the room was filled with light when he recited the "Incantation for Descending to the True Child".

Why is that?
This has never happened before when using other incantations, nor when performing the ritual to release the ghost infant on Huang Jinjin's body.

Chen Miao opened the book and came to the page on miscellaneous skills.

He was stunned when he saw it.

The Six Secrets of Subduing Truth: Divine Vision

"Why is there an extra suffix?"

Chen Miao reached out and stroked the "Six Secrets of Descending Truth: Divine Vision".

Immediately, new information came to his mind.

The term "divine attention" means that one has received the attention of immortals or gods.

The content of this version of "The Six Secrets of Subduing Truth" remains unchanged, but due to the effect of "Divine Vision," it has many additional effects.

When burning incense, it is not necessary to hold it in your hand.

When burning incense, the practitioner can successfully perform the ritual within fifty meters of the incense stick.

When burning incense, the practitioner may delay the ritual by one minute.

After incense is burned, the smoke can be directed for a specific purpose, depending on the practitioner's control.

In addition, Chen Miao received another piece of information.

Above 【神瞩】, there are two other suffixes: 【神降】 and 【神临】, but the conditions for their appearance are unknown.

As Chen Miao processed this information, he suddenly had a feeling.

This is the true effect of the incense burning ritual!

His previous incense-burning method was only a half-finished product!

"Divine intervention, divine descent, divine arrival—could it be that from now on, when I burn incense, I can summon immortals and gods?"

After the initial shock, Chen Miao was also somewhat puzzled.

"But which deity could be descending?"

Chen Miao himself didn't even know which deity he was worshipping.

Thinking of the four words I wrote on the memorial tablet, could it really summon the gods of the mortal world?

Do such gods and immortals exist?

Chen Miao shook his head. No matter which deity or immortal they were, they were beyond his control.

Since they can be summoned, it means they are allies, so what's there to be afraid of?

"However, does the appearance of this divine decree mean that I have been recognized by the gods and immortals?"

"Was it because of the ghost baby I performed, or because of my mindset at the time?"

Chen Miao thought about it and felt that it was probably related to mindset.

"Are the two subsequent suffixes also related to this?"

After memorizing it, Chen Miao took out four ordinary incense sticks from his bag.

After lighting it, Chen Miao used something from the hotel to hold it in place and took a few steps back.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Miao recited the incantation to suppress the evil spirits.

Sure enough, when the incantation was recited, the room was once again enveloped in a faint light.

The smoke from the incense appeared, swirling above the incense sticks to form a cloud of mist.

As if sensing something in his heart, Chen Miao stretched out his palm.

As he made this movement and conveyed his thoughts, wisps of incense smoke gathered in Chen Miao's hand.

The cloud of incense smoke, which was originally as big as a washbasin, shrank to the size of a palm when it reached Chen Miao's hand, but it was much denser.

Chen Miao's eyes lit up slightly as he looked at the plume of smoke.

With a thought, the smoke rose again, turning into a light mist that enveloped Chen Miao's entire body, making him appear and disappear.

With another thought, the smoke transformed into a wisp, swirling around Chen Miao like a long snake.

After playing for a full minute, Chen Miao noticed that the incense smoke was getting fainter and fainter until it disappeared completely.

"Can I only control it for one minute?"

Despite this, Chen Miao was still very excited.

He immediately tested the delay.

This time, no incense smoke rose during the recitation of the mantra.

Chen Miao waited for a minute before seeing the four incense sticks quickly burn and then turn into a cloud of incense smoke that floated in the air.

"This way, we'll be able to do many more things in the future!"

Suddenly, Chen Miao thought of something.

He extended his left arm, using yin energy to stimulate the yin lines, causing them to appear.

Immediately, he manipulated the incense smoke to rush towards his left arm.

The incense smoke did not disappoint him; it actually burrowed into his left arm.

Chen Miao's eyes lit up as he watched the shadows gradually fade away.

"It really works!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Miao realized something was wrong.

He can still communicate with the Yin Pattern; the Yin Pattern is still there, but he can't see it anymore.

Reaching out to touch the area with yin marks, Chen Miao felt a layer of warmth.

"Could it be..."

A minute later, Chen Miao saw the reappearance of the Yin pattern and sighed.

"As expected, it was only temporarily concealed."

"Regular incense sticks can mask the smell for a minute, but what about the incense in the book?"

Chen Miao exchanged four of them directly.

He needs to figure this out; it's very important to him!
Soon, new incense smoke appeared and covered the area where the yin pattern was located.

This time, a full five minutes passed before Chen Miao allowed the Yin patterns to reappear.

"Five minutes is still a bit short."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Miao took out all the ordinary incense sticks from his bag. Then he tested several other incantations, but only the incantation for suppressing evil spirits could cover it.

Then, Chen Miao lit all the incense sticks in the bundle.

The incense smoke was very thick this time, but it could only cover the area for a minute.

"It seems to be related to the quality of the incense, not the quantity." "Perhaps the effect will increase when we receive divine intervention?"

"No, if a god truly descends or comes down, perhaps the Yin marks can be erased directly!"

Suddenly, Chen Miao thought of the Yinqiao Aperture!
Immediately, he activated the Yin Bridge, using the Yin energy within it to summon the smoke from incense offerings.

Subsequently, the effect of ordinary incense sticks doubled, providing full coverage for two minutes!

Chen Miao was overjoyed and immediately exchanged for four more incense sticks, this time doubling the amount as well.

"From this perspective, continuing to nurture the Yin Bridge acupoint might also help eliminate Yin lines?"

The more Chen Miao thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Thus, he had two possible methods to resolve the freckles!
"One of these two methods is methodical but time-consuming, while the other is abstract but might lead to success next time! It's really hard to say which one is better or worse."

The appearance of the Yinqiao Aperture gave Chen Miao some other ideas about whether the remaining nine apertures should all be nourished with Yin.

I glanced at the time; it was already 11 p.m.

Chen Miao didn't waste any more time on this. Instead, he took out a talisman brush and other tools and began to draw talismans.

He wouldn't feel at ease without a high-quality spirit-suppressing talisman!

Perhaps because he was in good condition, Chen Miao drew five exquisite talismans in just one hour, consuming only two and a half coins and leaving half a bowl of chicken blood.

"continue!"

……

The next day, Chen Miao got up at eight o'clock.

I'm up so late not because I went to bed late last night.

He went to sleep at 1 a.m. last night.

The reason he didn't wake up according to his biological clock was most likely because of the appearance of the old ghost that night, which left him physically and mentally exhausted.

It wasn't until today that Chen Miao finally recovered.

After washing up and packing his things, Chen Miao checked out of the room.

Instead of going directly back to Tianmen County, he went to Zhao Gongzi's shop in the University Town again.

"Take this talisman. If the peach talisman cracks, dye it with your blood. That should save your life."

"It'll be no use contacting me then, I won't be able to get there in time. Just remember to run straight to the police station."

Chen Miao's words left Zhao Gongzi somewhat stunned.

Although he also graduated from Lin'an Civil Affairs Vocational and Technical College, he believes that some things in this world do not exist just because they have not been seen.

But he never imagined that this matter would be recounted by Chen Miao in this way.

Even though Chen Miao looked serious, they were too familiar with each other.

He had seen Chen Miao, drunk, run into their dorm room and proudly say, "Do you know how high I peed just now?"

He had also seen Chen Miao and his teammates play games all night, lose all night, and then argue with their teammates for the entire last game.

Therefore, Chen Miao's words at this moment made it difficult for him to overturn his previous stereotypes.

But since Chen Miao was speaking so seriously, he didn't joke with him.

"Okay, thanks... But when did you start doing this as a side job?"

Chen Miao waved his hand.

"It's a long story. I hope I never hear you mention the broken peach charm again. I'm leaving."

Chen Miao didn't linger and drove away from the university town.

Zhao Gongzi watched Chen Miao's departing figure, then looked at the talisman in his hand, shook his head, and hung it on a decoration rack in the studio, placing it together with the previous peach talismans.

……

Chen Miao returned to Tianmen County in the afternoon.

During the three-day trip, everything at the museum was normal.

Luo Zhiyong commissioned Yang Jiuhua to write a eulogy again and offered corresponding discounts to the guests' families.

This gave the guests' families a very good impression of Luo Zhiyong and Tianmen Funeral Home.

Perhaps due to the hard work during this period, the business of Tianmen Funeral Home has improved significantly compared to when Chen Miao first took over.

Chen Miao even considered whether to recruit another emcee to share the burden on Luo Zhiyong.

This will also free up more of his time to improve himself.

Thinking about recruitment, Chen Miao considered other positions as well.

When business was slow, one hearse and one driver were enough.

That's probably not possible now.

We need to recruit another hearse driver. As for the hearse, the facility already had two, but one of them resigned, leaving the other empty.

It's not entirely true that the car is empty, since Jiao Zhiyong would occasionally switch between driving it to prevent it from breaking down due to prolonged disuse.

As for whether to add another mortician, Chen Miao thought about it and decided that it wasn't necessary.

As Shi gradually learned the ancient methods of facial concealment, he became more and more proficient in ordinary facial concealment techniques and enjoyed the process.

Even Chen Miao felt that the current workload was not enough for his apprentice to practice on.

As for Shi Manman taking a vacation, let's not even talk about the fact that Shi Manman basically doesn't take vacations. Even if she does take one, Chen Miao can temporarily fill in for her.

Unless neither of them is in the museum, but that's rare.

However, Chen Miao felt it would be better to recruit another person as the cold storage manager.

Although Li Fu didn't say anything, it wasn't good for an old man to stay in the cold storage all day without going out. It would be best to find a young man to take turns with him.

We also need to recruit one or two more salespeople, and we should recall the chefs from the cafeteria.

After considering it all, Chen Miao realized that there were quite a few people they needed to recruit this time.

With more people hired, expenses naturally increase.

However, Chen Miao was no longer as concerned about income as he had been at the beginning. As long as the funeral home's profits paid his uncle the 200,000 yuan, he was happy to use the rest of the profits to develop the funeral home.

After dealing with the personnel issues at the museum, Chen Miao began searching for information about scorpions.

He plans to buy scorpions to breed ghost scorpions.

Old Gui was right about one thing: he couldn't always be thinking about hand-to-hand combat with a sword.

Not only is this dangerous, but it also lacks flexibility in combat, and the derivative content in the book will be more rigid.

Therefore, it is very necessary to cultivate Ghost Scorpion.
