Jiang Wen sat cross-legged, a treasured sword in his hand.
After he finished speaking, the crowd seemed to awaken from a dream. Noticing their own disheveled appearances, they felt surprised. However, they didn't get up immediately, but instead sat on the ground, quietly savoring the feeling from just now.
After listening to Jiang Wen's sermon, everyone felt as if their hearts had been cleansed, becoming transparent and open-minded. Many patients with depression even discovered that the suppressed emotions had vanished at that moment, and they once again felt what it was like to be human.
Those with anorexia wanted to eat, those who were depressed wanted to sing heartily, those who were socially anxious suddenly wanted to find friends, and those who hated the world felt that the road ahead was bright.
Everyone heard the Dao they wanted to hear, unlocking the shackles that bound their hearts.
Jiang Wen watched the myriad forms of life, remaining silent. He certainly knew that his sermon would have such a great impact. This was not only because he had cultivated the "Yellow Court Scripture" for many years, and was no longer the young boy he once was, but also because when he preached, he was also possessed by the Dao Ancestor, using the Dao Ancestor's mouth to preach, which led to the scene before them.
"It seems that my guess is correct, this divine power really has other wonderful uses," Jiang Wen sighed. He had always wondered what the effect would be if he possessed the Dao Ancestor and used this to lecture on scriptures. Today, he tried it and found that the effect was extraordinary.
Enlightening all living beings and teaching the world. This may be the true use of the ability to possess divine statues.
In the past, he used it to observe luck and bestow blessings, which were all unorthodox methods.
"Only today did I understand what the Dao lineage on the stone tablet meant. It is not only to transmit the Dao, but also to enlighten all living beings," Jiang Wen suddenly realized, feeling that the confusion in his heart had cleared. A cool sensation spread from his brow, and his heavenly eye seemed to have changed again.
Temporarily putting these things aside, Jiang Wen asked people to maintain order on the scene.
The first day of the grand ceremony ended, and the people who listened to the Dao slowly dispersed. However, everyone's face was different from when they came, all with a smile of enlightenment.
The little foxes also went about their own business after listening to the Dao, leaving Yan Gongli, Bai Jing, and others waiting to meet Jiang Wen's gaze.
"What are you looking at me for?" Jiang Wen asked curiously, seeing their strange expressions.
"It's just that you seem a little unfamiliar," Yan Gongli frowned slightly and said. "I have seen saints preach, but that person was the Great Sage of Langhuan. Even my master has never done such a thing as you, it's really strange."
"What's so strange about that?" Jiang Wen laughed frankly upon hearing Yan Gongli's words. "The Great Dao is not the Dao of one person, and all paths lead to the Dao. I just walked a little faster and told you about the scenery ahead. In ancient times, heaven and earth were all chaotic, and no one knew where they were. Then someone walked the road and achieved the Dao, and that is the Dao. Today I can preach, and you can do it in the future."
Yan Gongli stared at Jiang Wen for a long time before sighing softly, "I didn't expect you to have already walked ahead of me."
"I'm just a little faster, waiting for you ahead," Jiang Wen got up leisurely, brushed off the dust from his body, and walked towards the platform. He turned back to look at Yan Gongli and waved to her. "Let's go, I haven't had lunch yet."
"Tch." Yan Gongli couldn't help but smile when she heard this. Looking at Jiang Wen's distant figure, a hint of tenderness appeared in her eyes.
"No matter how far you walk, you can always return to the starting point. Even my master is not as good as you."
Thinking in her heart, she quickened her pace. Following closely behind Jiang Wen, the group headed towards the temple.
The afterglow of the sermon at the grand ceremony was still spreading, and everyone who had heard the sermon was talking about their feelings and thoughts.
After learning that many patients with depression had recovered, the status of the abbot of Jingxu Temple in the hearts of the worshippers was even higher.
Just preaching and lecturing on scriptures could cure people's illnesses and allow many people to let go of their obsessions. The abbot of this Taoist temple was simply an immortal.
Many people posted this incident online, which not only caused controversy, but also triggered a scolding war in various social media comments. Many people did not believe this, and many people believed it.
After all, such miracles had appeared in the past few days, so it was not unbelievable that Taoism had immortals.
Of course, because there were no videos of the scene, this matter could only be commented by netizens as a rumor. Many people who had heard the sermon were also helpless about this. After all, they were immersed in the abbot's sermon at the time, so who would have taken out their mobile phones to record videos?
Without evidence, this matter disappeared after trending on the hot search. However, the consequences were foreseeable. When Sunday came, more people would come to Jingxu Temple to visit the grand ceremony.
For Jiang Wen, this was nothing. After stepping into the perfection of Refining Qi into Spirit, he had already transcended mortals.
Even if the world is full of disturbances, no matter how many things happen, they are just a gentle breeze to him.
Even the most powerful weapon in the world would be useless to Jiang Wen. He even wanted to try whether he could use the Universe in His Sleeve to collect the exploding nuclear bomb, if possible.
In addition, after the White Fox Clan came, Jingxu Temple had been expanded a lot, enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people to travel together. Moreover, because of the spiritual spring and Jiang Wen, the Boundary Pearl was constantly growing every day.
He had enough places to build more Taoist temples.
Therefore, facing many worshippers, Jiang Wen only had joy in his heart. He even considered whether to move a few mountains in when he returned to Dagan to fill the other places in the Boundary Pearl, after all, the places expanded by the Boundary Pearl were a bit barren.
Trying to upgrade the statue, he was told that the merit value was insufficient. Thinking of the merit value spent on the initial upgrade, Jiang Wen felt that the next upgrade would probably cost seven figures of merit value. Millions of merits, when would he be able to save that up?
Temporarily extinguishing the idea of upgrading the statue, Jiang Wen continued to busy himself with the affairs of the grand ceremony.
In the evening, after the worshippers had left, he took some time to meet Shen Yueshu's roommates. Jiang Wen was then prepared to go to the back mountain to hold the Heavenly Fox Ceremony for the White Fox Clan.
Shen Yueshu was very curious about what the Heavenly Fox Ceremony looked like, clamoring to go too, and Jiang Wen agreed to her.
After she told her roommates, she followed Jiang Wen to the towering tree in the back mountain.
Looking up at this incomparably tall locust tree, Shen Yueshu felt shocked every time she looked at it.
From a distance, it was just a tall tree, but only when you got close would you feel how tall it was.
Under the big tree, the White Fox Clan was gathered here.
They had already built an altar, preparing to sacrifice to their ancient ancestors.
Just as Shen Yueshu was looking forward to the Heavenly Fox Ceremony, she saw a little fox trot over. Then, pointing outside, she said, "Sister Yue's friends have broken in here, what should the abbot do?"
"Then take them to see it. After it's over, just erase their memories of this period," Jiang Wen didn't care. Shen Yueshu on the side was a little ashamed.
After all, she brought her friends here, and she had told them not to run around. She didn't expect them to break the rules of the Taoist temple and come here to die.
"I'm sorry. It's my friends' fault," Shen Yueshu said quickly.
"It's okay, it's all small things," Jiang Wen smiled. "I don't let outsiders in just because I'm afraid they can't accept this kind of scene, not because there's anything secret here."
Hearing Jiang Wen's words, Shen Yueshu breathed a sigh of relief. She was still very afraid that her friends' actions would cause Jiang Wen's disgust.
Looking at Jiang Wen, who was concentrating on preparing for the sacrifice, she whispered, "Thank you."
"If you want to thank me, you still have to practice hard," Jiang Wen said.
"..." Shen Yueshu was speechless, just rolling her eyes at Jiang Wen silently.
Why is this person so annoying, she thought indignantly.
