Chapter 5 The role of incense

"pity!!"

"such a pity!!!"

However, when Zhao Shi wanted to collect the cup into the space, he failed. The originally solid space became illusory.

It seems like it will disappear at any time.

"what happened?"

"Why is that so?"

Zhao Shi frowned and thought secretly.

This space is extremely important to him.

After a moment, Zhao Shi's face showed a trace of realization, and he understood what was going on.

It should be incense.

No, to be precise, it is divine power.

The magical power of incense!

The use of space requires the consumption of incense and divine power.

Zhao Shi also saw the ancestral spirit barrier, and his range of activities was the space within the barrier.

In this ancestral spirit barrier space, he can appear in any corner at any time, flying is not a problem at all, and he can even control some objects in the space. He feels like he is omnipotent.

god?
Yes, it should be said that in this space, he is God.

However, when he was about to experiment, he found that the ancestral spirit barrier, like the divine power space in his body, had become illusory.

Ordinary people cannot see the barrier without the help of divine incense.
But this had no effect on Zhao Shi.

As a spirit, it's like instinct to look at the ancestral spirit barrier.

In other words, the ancestral spirit barrier exists because of him. Not only can he see it, but he can also feel the existence of the barrier.

Ok?
Suddenly, Zhao Shi discovered that this ancestral spirit barrier was not an unlimited existence, but was connected to himself in a certain way and consumed his own energy.

As his energy was depleted, he felt himself becoming weaker.

When these energies are exhausted, he will probably disappear.

Incense?
Probably!

Incense is the basis of his existence and the foundation of his survival in this alien world.

The consumption of appearing and staying in the tablet is very different.

That.
If he didn't come to this world, would there be no consumption?

Zhao Shi thought to himself.

No matter what, the top priority now is to accumulate incense!

After I reveal myself tomorrow, I will ask Ling'er how to accumulate the incense.

Incense is the foundation.

I learned from my daughter that this world is not peaceful and there are evil monsters. Only the ancestral spirits can fight against them.

Zhao Shi remembered a saying on the Internet that the only thing that can kill evil monsters is evil monsters.

Although they are called ancestral spirits, they are essentially the same as those evil demons.

While Zhao Shi was thinking about this, the young woman Jiang Ling walked into the ancestral hall again.

However, at this time, Jiang Ling was holding a bench and an embroidery in her hand, sitting next to Zhao Shi's tablet and doing needlework, muttering to herself as she worked: "Boss, I'm closing our tavern. I remember you said that I'll give it to you in the future, and you will definitely make our tavern the best restaurant in Qing County, so I can just follow you and enjoy the good life!"

"I had no choice before. When you were away, I had to support our daughter. Now that you are back, I don't care anymore. Whether we live happily or starve to death depends entirely on you."

"Back then, you suddenly disappeared."

For the whole afternoon, Zhao Shi did nothing but sit quietly beside Jiang Ling'er, listening to her talk about the past years.

It was also through Jiang Linger's narration that Zhao Shi had a general understanding of the other world.

More than ten years after Zhao Shi disappeared, the world was still relatively normal.

Warriors are superior.

Yes, a warrior.

Zhao Shi already knew this, and he had planned to go to a martial arts school to learn martial arts.

The fact that the Jiang family's tavern could continue to operate smoothly had a lot to do with a martial arts school called "Fang's". Zhao Shi had heard people talking about it before, saying that Jiang Ling'er's mother, his mother-in-law, was the mistress of the eldest senior brother of Fang's martial arts school.

Jiang Ling'er is the daughter of the eldest senior brother.

After they got married, Jiang Ling'er was afraid that Zhao Shi would misunderstand, so she told him about the relationship between her mother and the senior brother.

Her mother and the senior brother were childhood sweethearts who grew up together. Unfortunately, the senior brother eventually married the museum owner's daughter.

The person now is the owner of the Fang family martial arts school.

Perhaps because of guilt, he has always taken good care of the tavern. It is also because of this that the tavern has been able to operate steadily in this world where people eat each other.

As for Jiang Ling'er, she was picked up by her mother.

Martial arts!

Musha!
It really exists in this world.

It's not the kind of fancy moves, but the real martial arts, lifting a thousand pounds, breaking boulders with your palms, and fighting a hundred enemies alone. Thinking of this, Zhao Shi felt a surge of heat in his heart.

Just like back then.

Who didn’t have a dream of being a martial arts hero or a hero in the martial arts world when they were young?
For this reason, Zhao Shi asked a lot of questions about martial arts.

Unlike martial arts novels, the martial arts in this world have five levels: training the skin, training the flesh, forging the bones, refining the marrow, and exchanging blood.
Zhao Shi didn't know how powerful each level was.

However, the eldest senior brother of the Fang family martial arts school was said to have reached the Flesh Refining Realm, and was vaguely known as the best among the younger generation in Qingshan County.

It was normal at first, but then it changed. Six years ago, a firestorm fell from the sky.
From then on, the world changed, and strange monsters appeared.
Warriors are like children facing strange monsters.

It was only a few years ago that the Imperial Court's Demon Suppression Bureau developed incense that could summon ancestral spirits, and only then did humans gain the ability to fight against evil spirits.

To say it's a counterweight is a bit of an exaggeration.

It can only ensure that the human race will not be extinguished.

The evil monsters first appeared in the mountains or rural areas, and have recently spread to the cities.

That’s why there was a scene where Zhao Yan summoned the ancestral spirits.

To summon the ancestral spirits, one needs to burn incense, but it is more than just incense.

Bloodline descendants!
Please pray for the gods!
A pious offering!
There is only a slight possibility.

Bloodline descendants are the coordinates, incense is the introduction, and pious offerings are the foundation of existence, and none of them can be missing.

As Jiang Linger spoke, she looked at Zhao Shi's tablet from time to time. Her eyes were extremely gentle and there was a hint of smile on the corners of her mouth, which made Zhao Shi beside her stare in a daze.

This woman is his wife.

A wife who is married in a formal way.

The age of thirty-five or thirty-six is ​​when a woman is at her most beautiful.

Jiang Linger didn't know that Zhao Shi was right next to her. She kept talking to herself, as if she wanted to pour out all the thoughts she had felt over the years.

At the last moment, Jiang Linger sighed softly and said, "Dad, in the future, don't blame Yan'er for being cold to you. This child has suffered so much over the years. Take your time, the child will eventually accept you."

Time passed by little by little, and Zhao Shi felt weak. He knew he couldn't stay there any longer, so he quickly returned to his own world.

In his own world, it was just daybreak and Zhao Shi, who had not slept all night, did not feel sleepy at all.

It's amazing.

It seems that the power of incense or the divine power of incense has many functions that he is not aware of.

After breakfast, Zhao Shi did not deliver takeout today.

Since space can transmit items across boundaries, the first thing to do is to improve the lives of the mother and daughter.

The most direct one is naturally money.

Zhao Shi chose to buy a silver ingot in installments, a 500-gram silver ingot.

There was no other way. With all his savings totaling only 500 yuan, he could only choose to pay in installments.

He had never considered installment payment before. After all, he might forget about himself at any time, and choosing installment payment would only add burden to his parents.

Not so now.

The space connecting the two worlds gave him enough confidence.

Suddenly, Zhao Shi was stunned. In just a moment, his confused mind became clear, just like drinking a glass of cold drink in the hot summer. Then, a few wisps of invisible smoke appeared in the somewhat illusory space, and then merged into the walls of the space, slowly repairing the illusory space.

"Ok?"

"This is."

"The power of incense?"

Zhao Shi was startled, and tried to sense the tablet carefully. He saw that in front of his tablet, more than a dozen people, young and old, were respectfully worshipping his tablet.

Worship!

So is this the incense that is produced?
Right!

Isn’t this how those legendary gods gain worship?

Some things are in common.

After listening carefully, Zhao Shi realized that these people came to his house to avoid evil spirits.

After several years of development, there are more and more evil spirits and the county town is no longer safe.

A few days ago, a house on their street was destroyed by evil spirits.

After knowing this, Zhao Shi didn't dare to slack off even a little. He had never seen such evil spirits before and didn't know what methods these evil spirits had.

Fortunately, nothing happened overnight.

At daybreak, everyone paid their respects once more before leaving the Zhao family's home.

Two sacrifices a day, this is the price they pay to avoid evil spirits.

The Zhao family is relatively good. If the Chen butcher's family at the corner of the street wants to obtain their protection, they not only need to offer sacrifices, but also need money, which is calculated per person.

I dare not not give it.

When there were no evil spirits on this street, everything was fine. I felt that the evil spirits were far away from me and I could live my life as usual.
