C273 Great Ape Brothers (1/2)
Yang Feng was secretly surprised in his heart when he heard Kong Wen talk about the incense fire force. If it was in the past, Yang Feng would definitely not believe such fake things, but after experiencing so much, Yang Feng actually believed a lot of what Kong Wen had said about the incense fire force.
Furthermore, Yang Feng was slowly thinking from Kong Wen's words, could the so-called incense fire force s' matter be related to the Chinese destiny? All the sects and schools in the cultivation world were fighting over luck, and that was all they could get.
However, Taoism and Buddhism were different. Some Chinese people in the dynasty would especially believe in Buddhism, and at that time, the Buddhist incense would flourish a little, but there were also some Taoism and Taoism that were specially worshipped by Chinese people, so at that time, the incense would flourish in Taoism and Taoism.
Aside from the fact that the status of the Confucianism was not shaken, Buddhism and the Taoism had a different relationship. That was why Yang Feng thought that the incense fire force matter was related to the destiny of China. Of course, this was only a guess on Yang Feng's part.
The reason why Yang Feng did not ask Kong Wen whether the incense fire force's matter was related to the luck their sects were fighting over, was because Yang Feng wanted to obtain the luck of the Witch Clan in the future. The reason why Yang Feng did not ask Kong Wen whether the incense fire force's matter was related to the luck their sects were fighting for, was because Yang Feng wanted to obtain the luck of the Witch Clan in the future.
Following that, Kong Wen explained the difference between the faith power of incense fire force and that of the West. Whoever the incense fire force worships, can obtain the incense fire force, just like how Confucius was the one being worshipped by the Confucian school, so when Confucius came to pay his respects, the incense fire force that was produced would naturally be absorbed by Confucius, which meant that the Xuan Du Mage, but as for the use of incense fire force, Kong Wen did not know.
And the power of faith of the West, whether Christian, Jewish or Islamic, the power of faith that their worshippers generated through prayer, eventually reached the highest god in this sect through certain channels, and not by offering sacrifices to whoever got the power of faith! Just like Islam, their first belief in it was naturally Mohammad. However, the faith energy that was generated by praying to Mohammad was then transmitted by the Ancient Orchid Scripture to the true God, An La, above him. It had nothing to do with Mohammad at all!
Compared to them, the Chinese sects were much better. Whether it was the Buddhist Sect or the Taoist Sect, other than the supreme saints, their disciples could also enjoy the status of incense fire force s, so this was the reason why there were so many temples in Hua Xia, and the people offering sacrifices to them were all different!
There was also something else that the power of faith could not compare with the incense fire force, that was, the incense fire force had a reward, and the power of faith was a plundering, there was no reward at all.
Taking Confucianism for example, what the Confucius worshiped was the reincarnated Confucius of Xuan Du Mage, so the incense fire force produced from worshiping Confucius would be absorbed by the Xuan Du Mage, but the Xuan Du Mage did not want to absorb these incense fire force for nothing. He had to return the favour by making those people who paid him their respects give him something in return, to satisfy the wishes of those who paid their respects to him. But because there were more than ten million people who paid their respects to Confucius, the Xuan Du Mage was naturally not able to repay them all. However, as long as there was a bit of repayment, and a part of the people's wish was fulfilled, then there would be even more people who paid their respects to Confucius, and in the future, the Xuan Du Mage would also receive even more incense fire force!
Of course, this was the benefit Xuan Du Mage reaped after obtaining the incense fire force. If the Xuan Du Mage only absorbed the incense fire force and did not recompense them, then the people who worshiped him would think that he was a failure and that the number of incense fire force he received would decrease as well. Furthermore, the Xuan Du Mage would lose some of his cultivation because of this!
Therefore, regardless of which deity was worshipped in the various temples in China, one must have something in return after absorbing the incense fire force. This was also the reason why one could often hear spirits appearing in a certain place in China, a certain temple, or a certain god.
But Western Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, their worshippers' faith was absorbed by the supreme God of their respective sects. This had nothing to do with the person who spread the faith of their sect, and there would be no returns even if the faith was absorbed by that supreme God!
As a believer of those Western sects, they could only pray every day to generate the power of faith. However, they had no right to receive anything in return. This was an act of plundering! However, they would fool them. Although China had the largest population in the world, its believers were not as many as the Western sects.
After Yang Feng finished listening to Kong Wen's explanation of the differences between the power of faith in the Western world and that of the incense fire force, he finally had some understanding towards these two types of energies. However, what Yang Feng wanted to know the most was the relationship between incense fire force and qi flow, as well as the uses of energy such as incense fire force s, and whether it could be used to absorb incense fire force s or not. He did not say anything about this though, as Yang Feng did not know about this matter.
After listening to all of this, Yang Feng said to Kong Wen, ”Senior, thank you for telling me these things. Haha, we have also been bothering you for such a long time, it's time for us to leave. If there's a chance in the future, we should come visit senior!”
