168. The idea of a sacred land where incense burns to deities.
After sensing the new world coordinates, Mo Jiang did not immediately intend to explore them.
At least for the time being, he will not be exploring new worlds.
The reason is quite simple: he has just broken through to the Ten Yang Realm and is not yet stable. Moreover, the potential of this realm has not been fully developed. Putting aside everything else, there is still considerable room for improvement in his attributes.
After breaking through the Ten Yang Realm, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill also entered the Ten Dragons and Ten Elephants level. In the following period, Mo Jiang's physical condition will enter a period of rapid improvement.
In addition, Mo Jiang also has matters to attend to in this world.
It is currently unknown whether the [Thousand Sons] demon tamers who clashed with him are under the command of Thousand Son Tree.
There was also the dagger left behind by Wang Meng before her soul was scattered. She had Mo Jiang stick this dagger into the Thousand Sons Tree, piercing through Ying Yunxia's name, breaking the Thousand Sons Tree's protection of Ying Yunxia, and cursing her from a distance.
However, the Thousand Sons Tree was first blown apart by the Six Burials Bodhisattva, and then it was caught in the huge explosion created by Mo Jiang, which shattered the Ghost Realm.
Whether Ying Yunxia's name, which she carved on the thousand-child tree, can still be found is truly a matter of luck.
The probability is roughly the same as winning the lottery jackpot.
Three days ago, after Mo Jiang was blown back to the Thousand Trees Old Site Pit, he couldn't even find the location of the Thousand Trees Ghost Realm again, let alone enter it again. Even Yubaba's use of the Thousand Trees Heart couldn't find the location of the Thousand Trees Ghost Realm.
It was most likely blown to pieces.
But promises must be kept, and Mo Jiang always feels awkward and uncomfortable when he sees an unfinished task in his task list.
Without eliminating this mission, he had no interest in exploring new worlds.
……
A day later, Mo Jiang and Nie Moli boarded the high-speed train back to school.
Mo Jiang's injuries were not serious, and he recovered quickly after a hearty meal.
But what prompted them to leave so quickly was not that Sue had once again eaten up all of Yubaba's food supplies, but rather Yubaba's very obvious avoidance behavior over the past few days.
They weren't hiding from Mo Jiang, but from Nie Moli.
That same day, Nie Moli asked Qianzi Niangniang that after the matter was settled, Granny Tang needed to reveal the things she had been hiding.
Judging from the fact that Granny Tang has been busy going out these past few days and hasn't met with Nie Moli alone, it's clear that the old lady doesn't want to talk.
Before leaving, Nie Moli searched the entire house but found no clues.
She knew that Granny Tang was hiding something very important, something related to her, but if Granny Tang didn't tell her what it was, Nie Moli really wouldn't be able to guess.
After all, Nie Moli is only a psychology student, not an acting student, so she can't read scripts.
As for Mo Jiang, he was simply feeling awkward, since twice consuming all of someone else's stored food was not something to be proud of.
Granny Yu wasn't short of money for the food from Sumire, but Sumire himself felt embarrassed to stay any longer.
"So, it's not really appropriate for you to just leave like this, is it?"
On the high-speed train, Mo Jiang fiddled with the branches that had fallen from the trunk of the Thousand Son Tree while talking to Nie Moli.
There weren't many people on the high-speed train at that time, and the journey wasn't short, so I just wanted to chat.
“There’s nothing wrong with it. My mother-in-law doesn’t want me to ask. Staying here will only make her go to the market before dawn, and give her an excuse to buy you food.”
As she spoke, Nie Moli paused, "And I can roughly guess that it's probably related to my parents."
Upon hearing this, Mo Jiang paused for a moment, then continued fiddling with the branch in his hand as if nothing had happened.
Nie Moli was raised by her grandmother, and having known her for so many days, she has never heard her mention any other relatives besides Granny Tang, so her parents are obviously no longer alive.
Meanwhile, in that alternate dimension, which he now calls the "Netherworld Blessed Land," the name "Netherworld" is taken from a fragment of the Thousand Tree Ghost Domain. The Underworld Ghost Domain is the Netherworld Land, while "Blessed Land" is taken from a fragment of the "Turbid Earth Cave Heaven."
A blessed land, formed from fragments of a turbid earth cave, can be considered a blessed land to some extent.
Mo Jiang discovered that the Blessed Land of the Netherworld was not empty except for the shrine; he found some things inside.
Some memories, or rather some wishes, are prayers offered to the Goddess of a Thousand Children.
After all, the Thousand-Child Goddess's previous incarnation was only one step away from becoming a deity, so she still had the means to absorb the power of incense offerings and prayers.
Those prayers became fragments of memory for the Thousand Trees, and during the explosion, these wishes were also blasted out and fused together with the fragments of the Turbid Earth Cave.
Looking at the characteristics of the Netherworld Blessed Land, he couldn't help but have some ideas.
Can the shrines in the blessed land of the dead accept the power of incense offerings and prayers?
If it is possible...
Several ideas immediately arose in Mo Jiang's mind, each one extremely audacious.
In modern times, the function of the grotto-heaven is basically not considered, and the killing power of the holy light distributed through the shrine is far inferior to that of firearms.
Of course, this could also be due to insufficient incense offerings and faith, since this thing is inextricably linked to faith no matter how you look at it.
Perhaps with more faith, those who borrow from the divine light will have their credit limits increased.
He immediately thought of Skaritz in the Middle Ages; when it comes to fanaticism, what period can compare to the Dark Ages?
Bring the Blessed Land to them and grant Henry and his men access to the Holy Light. The Holy Light doesn't even need to be incredibly powerful; as long as it spreads, they can easily start a New Cross movement.
At that point, neither the Pope nor the Pope would dare to invite me fishing, even if they wore helmets.
He looked at the branch in his hand. Although it was one of the few spoils of war from the Thousand Sons Tree Ghost Domain trip, he had previously thought it was of little use.
But if it really is as he thinks, and this blessed land can absorb incense and faith...
Mo Jiang might be able to take a seat in the divine position that Lady Qianzi desires.
However, there are still some things to figure out. Mo Jiang is completely clueless about the path of incense and deity worship.
Whether the Netherworld can absorb faith still needs to be tested over some time.
But faith is something that is never easy to test.
After thinking for a moment, Mo Jiang suddenly asked, "By the way, do you know which sect on a famous mountain has real skills? I mean, the kind that Granny Tang has."
Since the Netherworld Cave Heaven was obtained in this world, the method of becoming a god through incense offerings should also be found in this world.
Mojiang doesn't plan to immediately embark on the path of spreading his faith, but learning more is never a bad thing.
Hearing the question, Nie Moli glanced at her companion in surprise. "She never mentioned it. My mother-in-law rarely talks about these things with me, and I think she shouldn't know either."
"But I heard my mother-in-law say that she has a senior brother who might know about these things."

169. The name "Ghost Shop" sounds like something out of a Japanese anime.
Upon returning to Nie Moli's school, they were informed that classes were suspended and students needed to move out of the school within a week.
The reason was not explained, but anyone who knows about the previous 18 suicides of school leaders would not be surprised.
The school offered two options: stay in a hotel arranged by the school or arrange for students to find their own accommodation.
The school's suspension of classes was not unexpected for Mo Jiang. After all, if a student commits suicide 18 times in a row, it will make the news. But if a school leader commits suicide 18 times in a row, that would be truly big news.
Especially since these leaders had absolutely no possibility of suicide, yet they all jumped to their deaths in quick succession, the truth must be thoroughly investigated and the murder gang must be caught. The city's leaders will have to sleep with one eye open.
The school suspended classes directly, and dormitories were arranged separately. As for professional courses, the school leaders discussed with other schools and arranged for students to attend classes at nearby schools.
In short, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Nie Moli is unlikely to attend many regular classes this semester.
On her way back to school, Nie Moli, who had been thinking about it for a long time, finally voiced her thoughts.
"You mean..."
Mo Jiang frowned and repeated what Nie Moli had just said, "You're planning to open a paranormal 'all-purpose shop' to handle people's problems in this area?"
This person, who looks quite cool in that red coat, comes up with such childish and immature ideas.
Perhaps it was because Mo Jiang's facial expressions were poorly managed, or perhaps Nie Moli's psychological knowledge was strong enough, she clearly saw Mo Jiang's disapproval.
“My mother-in-law told me that my birth chart is purely Yin and that I have encountered a series of supernatural events. Some kind of luck or something else has changed, and I will often encounter similar things in the future.”
Even my mother-in-law can't do anything about this. It's better to get involved beforehand than to be accidentally dragged into it later.
Nie Moli is a person of principle. After realizing that she was just like the highly sensitive investigator, she gave up the idea of running away.
Since there's no way to avoid it, we might as well take the initiative.
Mo Jiang had no intention of interfering; he wasn't the kind of person who would willingly interfere with other people's decisions. Nie Moli's demeanor undoubtedly indicated that she was seriously making plans for her future.
Unless you can offer a better solution, interfering in other people's life plans is undoubtedly a sign of immaturity.
Not to mention that Nie Moli is a very opinionated person and will not easily change her mind.
"So, does Yubaba know about this?"
“I was planning to tell her, but she’s been avoiding me lately.”
Clearly, because Granny Yu has been avoiding Nie Moli recently, she doesn't intend to tell Granny Yu her own plans.
A petty woman.
After thinking for a moment, Mo Jiang said, "If you're planning to hire someone, consider me one."
The things in this world that are useful to oneself are the various kinds of ghosts and the possible path to godhood through incense offerings; these things are obviously not things that can be bought on the market.
The existence of spirit controllers and powerful sorceresses like Yubaba suggests that such extraordinary individuals must have some kind of gathering place.
To get in touch with this group, you have a high chance of encountering paranormal individuals through paranormal events.
Otherwise, for a city with at least a million people, the difficulty of trying their luck is no less than winning the lottery jackpot five times in a row.
Even in terms of probability, the denominator would be an astronomical number.
Although she could ask Granny Tang, considering Nie Moli's current mood, she probably didn't want to call Granny Tang at all.
"By the way, would you like to learn something from me?"
Considering Nie Moli's birth chart indicating her ability to summon ghosts, Mo Jiang wondered if he should teach her some life-saving techniques.
After all, Nie Moli is different from me. When she encounters a ghost, she can rush up and fight. Even though she has a pure Yin birth chart, Nie Moli is just an ordinary human.
Facing a demon, she had virtually no advantage; her chances of survival were slim to none.
Extremely low.
Another point is that the other party's pure Yin Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny) has been activated, which is somewhat related to me.
If it weren't for her desire to resolve Wang Meng's obsession, Nie Moli wouldn't have been marked by the Thousand-Child Goddess, thus completely activating her pure Yin Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny). 6 (Six) 〓I〢『器~!2玐似司巴. U705.COM First Release
Nie Moli did not refuse. She had witnessed how Mo Jiang had forcefully shaken the Ghost Realm and even subdued the vengeful ghosts.
It's almost like a power that transcends dimensions.
"Sure, what can you teach me?"
What should we teach?
Mo Jiang pondered the skills he possessed and quickly selected those suitable to teach.
He took out two swords from his inventory, both exquisite pieces crafted by the blacksmith Martin, and placed them in the dormitory corridor.
The old girls' dormitory had been vacated by everyone else a few days ago, leaving only Nie Moli behind; even the dormitory manager was nowhere to be found.
After all, the incident of eighteen school leaders jumping to their deaths was too horrifying, and there were already strange stories circulating about the old girls' dormitory. It's not impossible that some people would intentionally or unintentionally make connections.
Mo Jiang gripped the longsword with both hands, raised it above his head, the blade hanging behind him, making a gesture as if he was about to swing it forcefully.
He then twisted his waist, causing the sword blade to slash horizontally from his side.
The blade left a trail in the air.
"Fiore stance, the noblewoman's stance. This move is very deceptive, but it requires a large and heavy sword to be powerful enough. Give it a try."
Full armor and weaponry have always been twin brothers. Mo Jiang naturally has a good understanding of weapons. If you were to create a D&D-style character card for him, it would definitely include words like "weapon mastery".
However, he doesn't usually need to use them. When choosing weapons, he prefers those that allow him to take advantage of his physique and strength.
