The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

However, considering that the matter itself was a meritorious deed, he did not intend to ask any further questions.

"Then, Bodhisattva, do you have any other solutions?"

“Since this place is beyond the reach of my Buddhist power, this scripture is useless. However, if you can reach it, there is a way.”

"Oh? What method is it?"

"Hehe, that is to create your own scriptures, young friend. By sincerely reciting your name, you can guide power and purify the evil spirit."

Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow. She really did have this ability, but the principle was a little different, and the power she lent out didn't have any purification capabilities.

If it were only within the Journey to the West world, with her power, any evil spirits and vengeful ghosts would be reduced to ashes in an instant.

However, in the Star Iron World, spirits like Suiyang have very special attributes. Even someone as powerful as the Commander would probably find it difficult to completely destroy them. The only option would be to shatter them and then seal them away.

Even the power source of the Zhu Ming Immortal Boat is the Great Sui Yang – Sui Huang.

After all these years, the Fire Emperor is still alive and well, which shows how difficult it is to destroy this thing.

"What if the evil spirit you want to purify is powerful? The strongest one is even as strong as mine."

Ksitigarbha was stunned for a moment. A malevolent spirit that was no weaker than Bai Zhi's? What was that? Could it be called a malevolent spirit? Was it a Yin spirit?

"Young friend, are you perhaps joking?"

"Of course not, it's just that those evil spirits are indeed quite special, and if I only lend my power, I'm afraid it will be difficult to purify them."

"So that's what you're worried about, young friend. I guess you think that Buddhist magic is more effective at purifying evil spirits than ordinary magic, is that right?"

"Exactly."

Bai Zhi nodded. Although Taoism also has methods to suppress evil spirits, such as thunder magic, Buddhism is indeed a specialist in purification, and its methods are both fast and effective.

"Hehe, young friend, there is no need to worry. This humble monk observes that your form and spirit already possess the divine nature to enrich all living beings. If a set of scriptures is created specifically for you, it can guide this divine power and achieve a purification effect."

Angelica dahurica: ...

She felt that she, a celestial being and a dignified hunting envoy, was somehow drifting further and further away from a path of abundance lately.

Her path of hunting is stagnant, but her path of abundance is advancing by leaps and bounds. If she were to travel to other worlds more often, she would likely earn several more titles as the Goddess of Abundance.

If Aha were here, he would probably laugh.

"In this regard, I can teach you how to write scriptures in a way that can specifically guide out the divine nature of all beings, so as to suppress and purify evil spirits."

"Then... thank you in advance, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."

Bai Zhi paused for a moment, but still did not refuse Ksitigarbha's kindness.

Because this is indeed what she needs. If it really works, she will bring back the weapon-forging methods from the underworld and the methods for purifying and suppressing evil spirits from here.

Even if the power of the sun is far stronger than the so-called power of the wronged spirits, and the materials cannot completely suppress it, the combination of these scriptures to suppress it will still allow the weapons of Zhu Ming's Immortal Boat to achieve a breakthrough.

Hmm... I can also give the method to Möbius later and see if he can come up with something even more amazing.

Chapter 757 Bai Zhi: What, you're praying for my figurine?

“There are techniques to prayers and scriptures. These words and rituals point to a certain being and borrow power from it, just like my original vow sutra. As long as you recite it sincerely, you can perceive it.”

“Young friend, although you have no clergy, you certainly have divinity. Your divinity is very broad, so we should try our best to use some specific scriptures and prayers to point to you.”

After saying this, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva placed the scripture in his hand into Bai Zhi's hand, saying, "Young friend, you may refer to this humble monk's scripture."

Bai Zhi curiously opened the scripture. It didn't contain any mysterious or difficult incantations, but rather a long discourse on the merits of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, his grand vows, a series of stories about his spiritual practice, and his teachings to all beings.

"Hey, isn't this just a book bragging about your achievements? I thought it was something special. Little Bai, bring out your deeds and brag about them, no problem at all."

The monkey also went over to take a look and found that this thing was just a boastful autobiography, at most containing some personal reflections and experiences.

"Uh……"

Bai Zhi had pretty much figured out the essence of the sutra. The philosophy discussed in it was indeed quite profound, but it mainly talked about the achievements of Ksitigarbha himself.

This is likely why reciting this scripture can guide the power of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva; under these precise conditions, people's prayers will be accurately received by Ksitigarbha.

In more modern terms, these scriptures are like addresses or ID numbers.

"Hehe, what Benefactor Sun said is correct. If you write your achievements into the scriptures and people read them, they will understand a part of what you experienced back then, and they will be able to draw strength from you."

"My achievements?"

She has indeed accomplished a lot, but think about writing down all her actions and having them talked about every day, what kind of shameful play is that?

After thinking about it, Bai Zhi felt a chill run down her spine.

"Bodhisattva, is there an easier way? Is there a shorter way to recite the scriptures?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva gave Bai Zhi a strange look. "Young friend, your request is not unreasonable, but if it's too simple, it might be received by a similar deity, unless..."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva hesitated, as if he wanted to speak.

"Unless what?"

Bai Zhi quickly asked.

“Unless these worshippers possess a statue of you, the more lifelike the better, then combining it with a short prayer is also very effective.”

"My statue?!"

Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment.

Seeing this, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva assumed that Bai Zhi also found this troublesome, and said:

"The reason I didn't mention this before is because statues are not easy to make. Compared to scriptures that can be passed down orally, statues that are very similar to you, young friend, are probably difficult to mass-produce."

His idea was natural, after all, in the world of Journey to the West, the productivity of ordinary people was still very low, and it would cost a lot of money to create a lifelike statue.

Moreover, these scriptures were originally created for the purpose of expanding their dissemination. With such inexpensive channels of dissemination, they naturally wouldn't choose expensive methods.

However, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva probably has no understanding of the productivity of the interstellar age.

Bai Zhi twitched the corners of her mouth. To her, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's words, translated, were roughly equivalent to—praying for her figurine.

So now the problem is, you write down a bunch of your achievements, and then people keep praising you all the time.

Or would it be better to collect figurines and then come up with a suitable prayer yourself?

It's embarrassing to have people constantly recount your achievements; it feels like your childish antics are being sung everywhere. But releasing your own figurines...

I hope there won't be any abstract messages like "Follow Baizhi Miao, thank you Miao".

Thinking about this, Bai Zhi felt like her head was about to explode.

Both of these choices are so confusing!

Seeing Bai Zhi frowning as if she had some difficulty, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva comforted her, saying, "Young friend, although this scripture is indeed difficult to compile, it is only a matter of time. You can manage with a little effort."

Bai Zhi looked helplessly at the compassionate gaze that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva cast upon her.

Master, it's not a matter of hard work!

But she couldn't say anything about it, so she could only force a smile and say, "Thank you for your concern, but I still want to use the statue as a guiding condition."

Bai Zhi thought about it and decided that compared to those long and somewhat melodramatic autobiographical scriptures, figurines would be a better choice.

At least, it saves some effort in compiling scriptures.

"This……"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was taken aback for a moment, "Since that's what you think, young friend, this humble monk has nothing more to say."

"Then, this humble monk will teach you how to use this statue and ritual to channel power."

"Thank you for your help, Bodhisattva."

"Hehe, no trouble at all. What you've done is to help the world. I'm more than happy to do so, how could I find it troublesome?"

After a pause, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva continued, "I'm sure you've seen many temples, where monks or Taoist priests often burn incense before praying."

“What the Bodhisattva said is true.”

Bai Zhi nodded.

"Burning incense is a step to concentrate and guide the mind, and the utensils used for burning incense are also particular. For example, in Buddhism, they are often lotus flowers, treasure vases, goldfish, etc."

"As for the Taoist school, it is based on Yin and Yang, the Eight Trigrams, cranes and pine trees. Young friend, you need to choose an incense burner that suits your own characteristics."

"So there are all these intricacies?"

Bai Zhi really didn't know any of this. Although she had studied under Patriarch Bodhi for several years, these kinds of things were not included in what she learned.

After all, compared to the magic of Bodhi Patriarch, these things are things that ordinary people would use to employ some extraordinary power.

Neither the monkey nor she needed this thing, so naturally they didn't know some of the details.

"Hehe, young friend, you are a dragon, born sacred, it is normal that you do not know the methods of mortals."

"Then, if there is a statue as a medium, then all we need to think about is the ritual and the prayer. However, we must be careful that the prayer is guided by divinity, not magic."

“These two are fundamentally different. Your divinity is abundant and fertile, carrying strong vitality and holiness, and can naturally suppress and purify spiritual life.”

"...This humble monk will also teach you some methods I use to purify sins. If these methods can be integrated into divinity, they can enhance the purifying power."

……

Chapter 758 Bai Zhi: Actually, I Can Be an Emperor Too

"Hiss... how do I do this prayer?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has just told her some small tips and his thoughts on sin.

Now, we've saved one step: devising a mature and effective prayer ritual.

Bai Zhi scratched her head.

For some reason, she felt a strong sense of déjà vu.

The soul projection skill of his level 3 sheep talisman manifests as a sun.

Zhu Ming Immortal Ship is an immortal ship primarily built for casting. It contains weapons that look ancient but are actually very high-tech.

Among these weapons, there are some special ones that can not only turn the defenseless into super experts, but also bewitch people and lead them astray.

Now, he had to deal with this matter, and the solution was to burn incense and pray before her statue to suppress and purify the soul hidden within that high-tech weapon, keeping it pure and preventing it from corrupting its owner.

Suiyang = Machine Soul.

Prayer = soothing the soul.

As the object of prayer, and with the soul projection being the sun, then what is oneself?

Thinking about this made Bai Zhi laugh at herself.

Thinking about it that way, it really makes sense. If my method could purify those things, I'd be a second Emperor or a god of all machines in the Warhammer world.

Since things have come to this, the prayers and such become simple.

A moment later, Bai Zhi had already prepared her prayer:

Ringing the bell once purifies evil thoughts, inscribes runes, and awakens the weapon's spiritual light; ringing the bell twice sharpens the blade, unlocks wisdom, and endows the weapon with extraordinary power; ringing the bell three times is a way to devoutly burn incense, pay homage to the divine artifact, and praise the Dragon Lord of the Divine Capital.

Now that we've arrived at these equations, we must directly modify the prayer of the God of All Machines.

"Judging from your satisfied expression, young friend, it seems you have a plan in mind."

"Yes, thank you for your help, Bodhisattva. I already have a plan in mind."

Bai Zhi nodded and said with a smile.

"That's good. I hope my words can be of some help to you, young friend. It would be a good deed for me."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva chanted a Buddhist mantra, then sat down in the same spot again and continued to guide those souls.

"Monkey, let's go. Let's go back to Yama now. He should have some news by now."

After things were settled here, Bai Zhi seemed very happy.

Back in the underworld, the craftsmen were already eagerly waiting. As soon as Bai Zhi appeared, they all crowded around her.

"My lord, I have improved some methods that can suppress evil spirits."

"I've also thought of a way, and it's definitely better than this guy's!"

"None of you will do it; it has to be my method."
