Immortality: Start with Clay Statues in Deserted Temples

After Gu Changsheng died, his soul was stuffed into a clay statue in a deserted mountain temple. He wanted to call for help, but found that he had become a "god" - if the incense burned, he would not die; if the incense burned out, he would be completely gone. So this unlucky guy with a confused face began the most frustrating road to becoming a god. He didn't dare to show too many spirits, for fear of alarming the heavens and being used as a shrine for obscenity; but he also didn't dare to show no spirits at all, for fear that the incense would be cut off and he would die first. He secretly treated the villagers' illnesses, secretly protected the village from disasters, and relied on word of mouth to spread the word. The dynasties changed one after another. Those great gods who were entrusted by heaven and had great incense disappeared one by one as the temples were destroyed, but he was always the inconspicuous clay statue in the deserted temple. Someone asked the old man in the village who this immortal was. The old man replied: "I don't know the name, I only know the spirit. It has been there for hundreds of years."
