“Local God No. 1 discovered it first, but he was too weak to move. So, I was the one who saved him. At that time, I thought that since fate was so coincidental, why not let Bai Wang do the last sacrifice to the local god?”
The local god sat cross- legged under the eaves, his left hand resting on his knee as he propped his head. He looked amused.” I didn’t expect that kid to be so unreliable. He actually sacrificed him to me.” I didn’t know what was going on either. Anyway, when I woke up the next day, I suddenly realized that I was the second local god.”
“Seriously, Bai Wang saved me once. Because at that time, I was poisoned, and my demon life was about to come to an end. Without this opportunity, I would probably have died just a few days after local god number one.”The local god said faintly,” Becoming the second local god has actually extended my lifespan by more than ten years.”
Ming Ze leaned against the large tree in the front of the court.” The previous local god passed his power to you. You also happened to receive the incense that only immortals can offer. That’s why you look like you’re neither a demon nor a god.”
The local god nodded in pain. That was indeed the case.
However, the most powerful and soundless force in the world was time. The world had changed.
Now, the number of people who believed in these supernatural things had decreased by a lot. The local god had tried so hard but still failed to obtain enough incense. His fate seemed to have been destined.
“How long can my incense last for you?”Taoist priests would always carry incense on their bodies. Ji Jing took out her best incense and candles to offer sacrifices to the local god. This was her respect for this story.
“This….” This is really a good incense!” The local god couldn’t help but take a deep breath. Such an exquisite feast was rare in the world! Good incense could provide more telekinesis, and only very particular people had access to it.
In the past few decades, it was already good enough to have incense. It was better for Bai Wang to stick a cigar than nothing. This was the first time that the local god had received such a standard incense stick in Ji Jing’s hands. The last time he had seen it was when the mountain god was still around.
However, the local god was now like a patient suffering from anorexia. His whole body was suffering from a systematic disease because he had not eaten anything. A big meal could only save him for a while.”lt’s worth a week! No, a little more, two weeks!”
The local god happily waited for Ji Jing’s sacrifice. Ji Jing looked at the burning red candle and felt sad. Two weeks, two weeks when the local god didn’t use any spiritual power, was too short in the river of time.
Ji Jing’s sacrifice alone was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. It could not save the local god’s death.
“There are so many yao in the Thousand Treasures Village, is there no one who can offer sacrifices to you?”Ji Jing frowned and tried to think of a way, but the gods had disappeared for too long, so she was not very clear about these things.
Ming Ze and the local god shook their heads.
“Gods are born for humans. Only human sacrifices will be returned to the gods.”Ming Ze plucked a long weed that was half the height of a person from the side, then weaved a butterfly and placed it in Ji Jing’s palm as a form of comfort.
“That’s right. The demons ‘sacrifices are useless. They just have the intention.
Moreover, most of the demons had an unrestrained personality. How could they be kind enough to do these sacrifices?”The local god wasn’t nervous at all. He was already prepared for his demise.” During the worst period, I lay in bed and couldn’t move at all. I thought I was going to die soon. It was only because Bai Wang said WeChat marketing that I was saved.”
“Are there many people looking for you on WeChat?” Ji Jing was a little curious. Were there many people like Liang Xiao who believed in him without a doubt?
“At the very most, this is the number of incense offerings that we have eaten.”There were those who made a wish but didn’t fulfill it, and there were those who fulfilled their wishes but were demons. After eliminating these, the local god opened his palm.
No wonder no one cared about the temple. Ji Jing looked at the five fingers of the local god. Such weak incense really didn’t have any effect.
After the ritual ended, the little old man enjoyed the feast and bounced back to the Thousand Treasures Manor. It seemed that he no longer cared about the weak incense offerings and his imminent disappearance.
After the ritual, Ji Jing and Ming Ze returned home.
On the way back, Ji Jing couldn’t help but sigh. She looked at Ming Ze beside her and said,””Is there really no way to help?”
On their way back, they took the demon carriage that Ming Ze had picked up from the Thousand Treasures Village. It was pulled by the Nine-Headed Demon Bird and flew forward on the Demonic Path. The flowing fire falling from the wings of the Nine-Headed Demon Bird along the way was particularly contrasting with the setting sun..
