Refining God with Incense: from Abandoned Temples in the Mountains to the Supreme Taoist Lord
by Xi'an
About This Novel
On a rainy night, Lin Qingyuan, an ancient building restorer, died in a deserted mountain to save a child. His soul was found in a broken statue of an unknown goddess, and he became the lowest wild god - no edict, no temple book, no incense, only the crumbling ancient temple to accompany him. Faith is thin here, evil spirits are watching, and the gods are withered. Lin Qingyuan must learn to control the power of incense wishes in the countdown to the temple's collapse, refine the good and evil impurities in believers' prayers, and embark on a completely different path: suppressing disasters, guarding an inch of pure land, and protecting a group of living beings. She has saved the dying old man guarding the mountain, pacified the plague-ridden village, slain the hypocritical water ghost in the river, and fought against the temptation and suppression of the orthodox Shinto. She has also faced the incarnation of the shadow caused by the toxicity of incense, condensed the faith of the people in the flames of the battlefield, and chosen her own path under the iron law of heaven. From a tiny spark in a village or a mountain, to being recruited by the state capital, responding to the devil's calamity, and then uniting the sky with the "Tao" to establish a guardian law recognized by the world - she is not a golden name in the jade book of heaven, nor is she an evil creature spawned by blood and food, but a supreme Taoist who uses the human heart as a furnace, wishes as a fuel, and forges the word "guard" into a godhead. This is a long journey for wild gods to light lamps from the dust and refine their hearts with incense. So what if no one decrees it? The human heart is the heaven, and my way is self-made.
