Chapter 495 Grand Good Teacher's Persona

The last time Hu Ma entered his Natal Spirit Temple, he only felt like he was entering an ordinary place. It was only because this place was too similar to his own Natal Spirit Temple that he felt a sense of familiarity.

But this time, entering again, it was as if he had developed a sense of close connection.

He had already cultivated his Dharma Body. Now that his spirit entered the painting, it naturally took the form of his Dharma Body. However, the moment he entered the Natal Spirit Temple, he saw the remnants of the large red robe in front of him suddenly blown away by a gust of wind, decaying on the spot.

The dust after the decay transformed into conscious mist,飘飘荡荡(piāo piāo dàng dàng, drifting and swaying) and filling the surroundings of the Natal Spirit Temple.

He was startled at first, but then Hu Ma understood. Wasn't this the mist within the Natal Spirit Temple? His own Natal Spirit Temple was surrounded by this dark red mist. Even contacting other reincarnators required using the incense of life, passing through this mist to find them and exchange information.

Hu Ma had even thought before that reincarnators, relying on their Natal Spirit Temples, seemed able to ward off some disturbances and spiritual damage.

The mist should be playing this role.

Originally, this Natal Spirit Temple was dilapidated and devoid of mist, but now, with the decay of the large red robe's body, it appeared.

The appearance of the mist was only the beginning. Hu Ma, now in a spiritual state, suddenly felt his heart beating. This long-withered Natal Spirit Temple vaguely showed subtle changes.

Vitality flowed, as if echoing his spirit. Then, he discovered that the key to this echo was the seal he had obtained from the old elm tree.

The seal was originally blank, but now it seemed to have life, resonating with the Natal Spirit Temple.

It was as if the seal belonged to the Natal Spirit Temple. Now that he had brought it in, a subtle connection between it and the Natal Spirit Temple was established. Immediately afterward, his own Dharma Body actually had spiritual light condensing.

This spiritual light rotated around his Dharma Body. Looking closely, he could see that this spiritual light contained countless voices of prayer or worship, countless scenes of kowtowing and burning incense.

"Is it the stone horse?"

His heart trembled, and he realized.

The stone horse outside Stone Horse Town was originally a clay and stone statue, without any spirituality. However, because the surrounding people believed in the legend, the stone horse received countless sacrifices and incense. Until he rode the horse to slay the plague, the incense had a destination.

From that moment on, he felt that there was something more in his spirit.

But at that time, he didn't know its use. Now, coming to this Natal Spirit Temple, he saw these spiritual lights slowly condensing, rotating bit by bit, and finally converging in one place, landing on the incense table.

About three feet long, covered in fine lines, with spiritual light inside, it had a sacred aura that inspired awe from afar.

"So it is…" Looking at the incense of life and then at the incense burner placed on the side of the incense table, how could Hu Ma not understand? He hadn't seen the Grand Good Teacher's three volumes of heavenly books, but with this seal, he had obtained his Natal Spirit Temple? However, this Natal Spirit Temple was merely a withered shell, and only the incense of life could activate it. And this incense of life… was it the worship of the people?

When he understood this, he was immediately excited. He stared at the incense of life on the incense table and slowly moved his feet forward.

*Thump, thump.*

As he approached, his heart couldn't help but beat faster. When he finally touched the incense of life, he immediately felt an invisible roar and impact surge within him.

His spirit was currently in the painting, and he even felt that outside the painting, his body sitting cross-legged in front of the painting had begun to tremble slightly. His face was growing paler, and the foundation of his body was rapidly collapsing.

But Hu Ma inside the ghost cave also felt a slight tremor in his hand at this moment. He only felt that this seemingly simple incense of life was becoming heavier and heavier, its weight almost exceeding the limit of his spirit.

"Not good…" Before his body collapsed, he raised his hand and released the incense of life, even retreating a few steps himself.

"Huff…" Taking a deep breath, Hu Ma frowned tightly, feeling a bit of annoyance in his heart.

"My cultivation is too low." He had awakened the stone horse, obtained this seal, and had the identity to activate this Natal Spirit Temple, but Hu Ma hadn't expected that the problem would appear in such a ridiculous thing. He only had three pillars of cultivation and didn't have the foundation to use this Natal Spirit Temple! Three pillars of cultivation, sixty years of power, was already the limit of mortals, but no matter how extreme, it was still an ordinary person.

Earlier, he was ridiculed by Monkey Wine for not being able to call reincarnators from a distance.

Because of insufficient cultivation, he suffered losses in duels and was ridiculed by the Meng family's second young master.

Unexpectedly, he would be ridiculed by the predecessor who left this spirit temple when inheriting this Natal Spirit Temple. Three pillars of cultivation can't make a man, is that right? No, only by not being a man can one have more than three pillars of cultivation! What is this? He secretly complained in his heart, the password is there, there are still gold coins in the account, but his keyboard is broken?

In addition, although he didn't succeed in trying, he couldn't help but look at the incense table with some expectation.

When the incense of life was inserted into the incense table, this Natal Spirit Temple would be completely activated, and the Natal Spirit Temple could call other reincarnators. Then, could he use the name of the former Old Eyebrow Lord, or Grand Good Teacher, to call other reincarnators? Grand Good Teacher, the large red robe had said, was an identity that they would all borrow, but Old Lord Eyebrow used it more often. Then, when he activated this spirit temple, wouldn't that mean that he was the real Grand Good Teacher?

And if this was the case, with the position used by the previous generation of reincarnators, coupled with the incense of life condensed by the faith of the people around Stone Horse Town for decades, how far would the calling range be? A thought vaguely arose in his heart: "Wouldn't it be a call to all reincarnators?"

Thinking of this possibility, a phrase jumped out in his heart: "Third Volume of Heavenly Book: Summoning Divine Soldiers from the Sky?" If he could really call all reincarnators, wouldn't there be people to help him wherever he went? How was this different from summoning divine soldiers from the sky?…

After confirming the use of this Natal Spirit Temple, he pondered for a while and then slowly withdrew from the painting.

Before, when his skills were low, he didn't feel that the three pillars of cultivation had any impact. But as he entered the mansion and saw more skilled opponents, he vaguely realized that these three pillars of cultivation were becoming his biggest weakness. Everything he did was constrained…

However, how to break through the three pillars of cultivation? Not to mention that there was no corresponding method in the skills he had learned, even the *Zhen Sui* Book had no records at all.

He couldn't really go to Monkey Wine and have him plant a worm in his head, could he? After some thought, he couldn't think of any way immediately, so he could only silently sort it out in his heart and plan to return to the Blood Food Mine first.

There was still something in his left arm that he had subdued but hadn't had time to interrogate, and he couldn't delay it for too long.

At this time, while he was silently thinking, his heart suddenly stirred slightly, and he immediately sank into a state of deep thought again.

This time, he returned to his own Natal Spirit Temple and then heard a sobbing voice: "Senior…" "Old Bai Gan Senior…"

"Uh…" Hu Ma heard this familiar voice and couldn't help but perk up, cautiously saying: "Di Gua Shao (Sweet Potato Liquor)?"

"It's me." Di Gua Shao's voice contained an unknown amount of grievance: "I've arrived…"

Hu Ma didn't react for a moment: "Arrived at what?"

"Stone Horse Town ah," Di Gua Shao said, "I've been going day and night ah, I've exhausted two horses, and the inside of my thighs have been chafed with blisters, and I've finally run to this town…"

"But you…" She became more and more aggrieved and cried out: "Why didn't you wait for me…"

"What the hell is this…" Listening to her words, Hu Ma reacted and understood. He had a feeling of both laughter and tears. He had already asked Monkey Wine to send a message on the first day that the Great Hall Official appeared, asking them to come and help.

Of course, the journey was indeed long, and it was difficult for people, but fortunately, Er Guo Tou (Double Distilled Liquor) and Miss White Wine arrived in the second half of the third day. But this Di Gua Shao… the show is over, big sister, and you're just arriving?

It wasn't that we didn't wait for you, it was mainly that the Meng family and the *Shousui* (Year-Keeping) Great Hall Official didn't wait ah…

There was no way, he could only comfort her with a mix of laughter and tears: "But at least, things went smoothly."

"The Meng family? The Great Hall Official?"

Di Gua Shao was startled: "Is it the Tongyin Meng family? The Great Hall Official is the *Shousui* Great Hall Official, right? I did inquire about that."

"Yes."

Hu Ma said: "Neither of these two are easy to deal with. It's good that you didn't run into them." He subconsciously wanted to comfort Di Gua Shao, with your little skills, you wouldn't be a match for these two.

"My God," But unexpectedly, before he could finish his words of comfort, Di Gua Shao became even more aggrieved: "How many treasures must those two have on them…"

Hu Ma was stunned by her question and heard her say again with both anxiety and sadness: "The most important thing is how big this event is, how lively it is! I heard those martial artists who left this town discussing it."

"When I ate a bowl of tofu brains in this town, even the old man selling tofu brains said that this Lantern Fire Blessing Assembly had divine soldiers descending, riding horses to slay the plague, this…"

"…This is the big scene I've always been looking forward to, but I just didn't make it!"

Hu Ma didn't know how to comfort her all of a sudden and could only sigh: "There should be opportunities in the future."

"Can't wait for the future, you have to do it when you come!"

Di Gua Shao didn't listen to this comfort and vaguely made a sniffling and wiping-tears movement, saying: "Now that I'm here, the Yiqian Sect here seems to have a strong foundation. Senior, do we want to mess with them?"

"?" Hu Ma felt a little flustered and quickly said: "No, no, be careful, if it's really not possible, you should wait for a while. I happen to have something I need your help with."
