346, Divine Mask (1/2)

On the outline of the heart chakra, there are statues of gods standing upright.

In front of the throne of God,

The mental energy was condensed into lamps, candles and incense, and all these gods were enshrined.

These divine positions then emit golden-red or golden-green firelight, flowing around the chakras and gathering towards the top of the ‘Kitchen Lord God Position’.

Among the more than twenty divine thrones,

Only the Kitchen God's tablet emits a golden-purple fire.

These various divine positions are also hierarchical, with clear distinction between upper and lower levels.

Purple is precious,

Cyan comes next,

Crimson is the lowest.

The gods turn the fire discs on the chakras and push the fire to gather at the ‘Kitchen King God’.

In front of the Kitchen God's throne,

The candles flicker,

The incense floats.

The heart lamp suddenly lit up, and wisps of light emanated from behind the memorial tablet, spreading backwards like a spider web. At each node where the light strands were intertwined, a more illusory, almost transparent divine tablet could be vaguely seen.

Or a divine tablet that has collapsed or been destroyed.

These sacred cards extend all the way back along with the spider web - pointing to a black and yellow sacred card at the end,

The image of the divine card is extremely blurry.

The writing on it is also erratic,

But Su Wu gathered his energy and could barely see it clearly.

He saw several handwritings written on the sacred tablet that were different from the Li Kui characters, different from the hidden characters, and different from any other characters that Su Wu had seen, but they seemed to be related to every kind of characters.

Seeing those handwriting,

He almost didn't need to think about anything, and he clearly understood the meaning of those handwritings: Yin Xi Zao Prince's position.

After Master’s ‘Zao Lord God’, why are so many gods involved?

They may have become so illusory that they have almost disappeared.

Or it may simply collapse or break.

as well as,

What does the ‘Yinxi Stove Prince’s title’ at the end indicate?

The thoughts in my mind turned around,

Su Wu's idea was to track down clues over and over again.

After he saw the 'Zao Lord God's Table', there were still several tablets with writings that were barely legible.

However, these tablets all collapsed.

On the tablets, you can vaguely see the words "Zhijin Mountain God", "Zhijin River Goddess" and other words - these tablets were made after the master fried the master, master's grandmother, master's wife and master's uncle.

The opened temple.

Su Wu had seen these collapsed temples before.

Even the 'Zaojun Temple' was built on the ruins of the temple of the 'Brocade Little Qinghe Goddess'.

After collecting these clues, Su Wu had a clear understanding in his heart: "There is a high probability that the gods behind Master's 'Zao Lord God', which have collapsed, collapsed, or become illusory and transparent, are 'Yinxi'." Mai Zao Tuan Zi' is a temple opened in the past dynasties.

The ‘Yinxi Stove Prince’s throne’ at the end is the source of the inheritance of Yinxi Meridian.

This ability to trace back to the origin,

is unique to me,

Or is it an ability unique to each generation of stove masters? "

Su Wu's thoughts were circulating on the spider web behind the Kitchen God's throne.

suddenly,

His mind touched an illusory tablet that was about to disappear.

By some strange coincidence, Su Wu's hands formed the 'Heart Lamp Enshrinement Seal'. The energy he sent over turned into candles and incense, arranged in front of the illusory tablet.

The lights are burning slowly,

The writing on the tablet is in this incense offering,

Little by little it became clear.

It was as if an invisible hand was tracing on the tablet, tracing over and over again along the traces on the tablet, re-outlining the faded and mottled writing on the tablet clearly.

‘The White Dragon River God’s throne’.

As the writing on the god's throne became clear,

The entire illusory and transparent tablets also solidified a bit.

Around the outline of the tablet, golden and red fire began to flash.

This divine throne was illuminated by Su Wu. Su Wu did not feel the slightest change in himself.

He thought in his heart that maybe lighting up a magic card brought about extremely subtle changes to himself, because he couldn't feel it.

With this thought,

Su Wu continued to offer incense and incense to several illusory and transparent tablets - those tablets that had collapsed and collapsed, but could not be lit up with the incense and incense from the heart lantern.

Several divine bits were lit up, but he still didn't feel any changes in himself.

After testing for a long time, he was still unable to determine what effect these tablets would have after they were lit.

Su Wu simply gave up the idea of ​​continuing to explore.

Open your eyes slowly.

It's slightly cool outside.

In early spring, the weather is still very cold.

In this early morning, there won't be any singing insects making noise in the grass.

Getting up from the bed, Su Wu put the quilt on Gou Sheng next to him, and added firewood to the extinguished brazier at the entrance of the temple.

The flames rose up, finally bringing some warmth to the cold temple.

The light and fire also reflected the face of Qingmiao sitting by the brazier.

Qing Miao lowered her eyelids slightly, not daring to look at Su Wu's face. She stared at the flames in the basin and whispered, "Elder brother, why don't you sleep a little longer?

It's still early before dawn,

I'll just stay here. "

Ever since the master set the rule of two people taking turns to watch the night, the kitchen team has been enforcing this rule to this day.

The invasion of severe monsters will not pick a time when everyone happens to be awake.

The rules of night vigil are necessary.

Qingmiao held a sewing basket in her arms, which contained some finely stitched shoe mats, both large and small. She probably wanted to prepare a few pairs of summer and autumn shoes for her fellow apprentices.

"I've had enough rest.

If you are sleepy now, you can go back and sleep for a while. I will keep vigil for you. "Su Wu picked up the needle and thread in the bamboo basket, looked at it, and said casually to Qingmiao.

"If I go to sleep now, I won't be able to get up during the day.

I'm not going to sleep..." Qingmiao raised her head cautiously, using the bright and dark firelight to secretly look at Su Wu's face.

Su Wu lowered his head and rummaged through Qingmiao's sewing basket to find some fine colored threads and a piece of coarse cloth. He then raised his head to meet Qingmiao's eyes and said, "I'll lend you some needlework."

Qingmiao looked away and agreed absentmindedly: "Senior brother, just take some needles and threads if you want to use them. What are you talking about whether to borrow or not?"

She paused,

Then he turned to look at Su Wu: "Senior brother, are your clothes torn? Let me sew them up for you.

I can sew it more firmly. "

"No. I picked up some balls of thread to play with." Su Wu shook his head, stood up and crossed the threshold of the temple. He saw a zombie standing like a wooden stake on the left side of the temple door. He sat outside the temple door and looked at Looking at the twinkling stars in the distant sky, I was silent for a long time,

Then the ghost hand stretched out from his armpit, twisted the iron needle, and threaded the colored thread.

Embroider on the coarse cloth.

Qing Miao, who was already doing needlework, was a little tired. When he saw the movements of Su Wu's hands, he was a little curious, so he stuck his head out of the door and looked at the hazy darkness. What was the elder brother's black hand embroidering?

On the black coarse cloth, the outline of a face is gradually outlined by needle and thread.

The colored lines then fill in the patchy texture within.

The movement of Su Wugui's hand paused from time to time.

Frowning, he looked at the dramatic face that was gradually being outlined.

Then the stitches were removed and the embroidery was started again.

In this way, the stitches are removed and embroidered, and the stitches are removed again after embroidering.

I repeated this several times, and when it was almost dawn,

Su Wu finally embroidered a face on the coarse cloth with an indigo background, white lines outlining the shape of fish scales, and bulging horns on the forehead.

The moment the facial makeup was about to be completed, in Su Wu's heart chakra, on the intertwined cobwebs behind the 'Zao Lord God's Table', a tablet 'White Dragon River God', which was lit by Su Wu's heart lamp, suddenly appeared. golden red light,

That ray of light soaked Su Wu's mind,

As Su Wuyi’s energy flows,

Gathered on that mask outlined with colored lines!

"𩠌Satahacha!"

The moment when the energy of mind surges,

Qingmiao was in a daze for a moment, as if he heard some incomprehensible language.

Then she gathered her thoughts, but did not feel any abnormal changes in her surroundings.

The eldest brother picked up the mask, which was only made of silk thread and coarse cloth, looked at it for a moment, and suddenly handed it to Qingmiao: "Here, you put it on and try it on."

"Wear this?" Qingmiao took the mask, somewhat confused by Su Wu's request.

Su Wu nodded.

Seeing this, Qing Miao stopped asking any more questions.

Putting down the sewing basket, she put the exquisitely embroidered dragon-shaped mask on her face - the moment she put on the mask, she suddenly felt that the world in front of her became blurry and chaotic.

It's like there is a layer of water vapor permeating the place,

She couldn't help but reach out and touch the 'water vapor' intertwining all around.

The moment your fingers touch the vapor,

He himself escaped into the water vapor,

Control it as you wish,

Flowing back and forth in these currents,

Even going so far as to penetrate into the real rivers around you!

Wearing that mask,

It was as if in an instant, he turned into a fish and could freely shuttle in the river!

This feeling was too strange. Qingmiao only tried it briefly, then hurried back to the place, took off the mask, looked at Su Wu anxiously, and handed the mask to him: "Elder brother, this is... …”

"When we were in Yangping Town earlier,

I consulted with those horsemen about the legal system.

There is something hidden in my heart, but I have never been able to express it systematically.

Now I can.

——This "incense descending", which is similar to the Nuo god mask, is my biggest gain. "Su Wu took back the facial makeup. The 'White Dragon River God' facial makeup painted only with ordinary needlework can already make people escape into the water veins and flow around the rivers.

If sewn with craftsman's silk thread,

It should be more effective.

He had done a lot of research on the Nuo god's face before, mixed his own parody facial makeup, and observed the arrangement of ghost lines in Lao Laozi's zombie body, but he still couldn't copy even one Nuo god's face.

Now after lighting up those illusory tablets behind the ‘Zao Lord God’s Table’,

But it can project some kind of power from those illusory tablets onto ordinary facial makeup.

Although the effect is still not as comprehensive as Duan Gong, Ma Jiao, and Shen Han's Nuo God Face, the side effects are not as strong as them. Taken together, it is also an incredible means of protecting the 'Yinxi Meridian'!

Su Wu quickly took apart the sewn mask and put it back into its original shape.

He turned to Qingmiao and said, "Wait until I change this mask, and then I will teach you the detailed rituals, so that you can use this mask freely, for self-defense!"

He paused and heard rustling sounds in the temple.

Knowing that the junior brothers and sisters were about to wake up, he added: "Wake them all up, get ready for breakfast!"
