Mind's Eye Observation Under Incense and Fire Prayer Power

He didn't explain, however. Placing some items into his backpack, he said, "Mom, these are guaranteed to be safe. You guys try them out first and see how they work. If it's really no good, then like you said, we can just treat them as perfume."

In any case, the Red Face Cream worked extremely quickly. It would show results within a few days, and by then, the two of them would be able to personally experience the efficacy of the Beauty Ointment.

Guan Lin, Luoyang

The Guanlin Temple is the burial site of Guan Yu's head. Guan Yu, who passed through five passes and slew six generals, dared to face his enemies alone, and had his bones scraped clean to remove poison, was known as "an enemy of ten thousand men." Unfortunately, he was careless and lost Jingzhou, retreated to Maicheng, and was later ambushed and killed by Eastern Wu. Fearing retaliation from Liu Bei, Sun Quan presented Guan Yu's head to Cao Cao in Luoyang. The astute and talented Cao Cao was not fooled. He carved a body of Agarwood Incense for Guan Yu and buried his head with the rites of a feudal lord south of Luoyang city (in present-day Guanlin Town).

Later, Sun Quan also buried his body in Dangyang, Hubei, with the rites of a marquis.

Shu Han built a tomb of attire and crown for Guan Yu in Chengdu. Since then, the common people have referred to Guan Yu as "head resting in Luoyang, body lying in Dangyang, soul returning to its homeland."

Guan Lin was a temple in the front and a tomb in the back. It is one of the three major Guan Temples at home and abroad, and the only Guan Di Temple in China that combines tomb, temple, and forest offerings. It is also the only Guan Temple in the world called "Lin," which was the highest level of Guan Temple in ancient times, as only the tombs of sages could be called "Lin." Before Guan Yu was enfeoffed as "Holy Lord Emperor Guan," only the tombs of the civil sages Confucius and Mencius were called "Lin."

Every year, Father Huang's family would come to Guan Lin to burn incense for Holy Lord Emperor Guan. According to Father Huang, Holy Lord Emperor Guan protected Huang Huai as he grew up safely, so he would keep his promise and worship Holy Lord Emperor Guan every year.

Although Huang Huai and his family delayed for two or three days on the road waiting for Dad Huang, and accompanied Huang Shan to visit a few scenic spots, when they arrived at Guan Lin, they saw a sea of people from afar.

Fortunately, both Huang Huai and Huang Shan were already accustomed to such scenes. The three of them did not stop and entered Guan Lin directly.

In an office, Huang Huai and his family met Father Huang.

At this moment, Huang Chuanye, Huang Huai's father, was talking to someone. Seeing his wife and children arrive, he smiled and nodded.

However, Huang Chuanye couldn't help but freeze when he saw his wife. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he had seen something incredible.

Mother Huang, who had been standing beside her children with a smile, naturally felt her husband's gaze on her almost immediately, especially the look of astonishment in his eyes.

Mother Huang's lips curled slightly, and she was overjoyed. She hadn't expected the Beauty Ointment her son had given her to have such astonishing effects. In just a few days, it had truly brought about a tremendous change in her.

She wouldn't dare say she had instantly become a dozen years younger as Huang Huai had claimed earlier, but she could feel that she looked several years younger in just a few days.

Although she had always maintained herself very well, and despite being over forty, she looked no older than her early thirties, wrinkles would eventually start to appear at the corners of her eyes and on her forehead as she aged. The traces left by time on her face could not be erased by external forces after all.

But now, the skin on her face, which had lost its youthful suppleness, had regained its moisture. When she discovered this, Mother Huang could hardly believe it herself.

Seeing her husband's amazed gaze now, Mother Huang couldn't help but give Father Huang a playful glare. She exuded an effortless charm that left Huang Chuanye stunned.

Huang Huai stepped forward and said to the middle-aged man his father was talking to, "Uncle Liu!"

Liu Yuan was one of the people in charge of the Guanlin Temple. Because Huang Huai's family came every year and always donated a sum of Incense and Fire money to the Guanlin Temple, they had become acquainted with Liu Yuan over time.

Due to their shared interests, Huang Chuanye and Liu Yuan had become good friends, so Huang Huai's family would always meet Liu Yuan first when they visited the Guanlin Temple in recent years.

Liu Yuan smiled and said to Huang Huai, "Indeed, this child Huang Huai is becoming more and more spirited. Brother Huang, you have such a son; you can consider handing over your business to Huang Huai sometime."

Being praised for his son, Huang Chuanye was naturally full of pride. He smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'd like to have some peace and quiet, but that depends on whether this child is willing to take over my business."

Hearing this, Liu Yuan burst into laughter. He stood up and said to Huang Chuanye, "Brother Huang, since Sister-in-law and the others have arrived, I'll take you to burn incense for Old Master Guan."

Led by Liu Yuan, Huang Huai and his group headed towards the main hall where Holy Lord Emperor Guan was enshrined.

The crowds along the way were immense. Even with Liu Yuan leading the way, it was more than half an hour before it was Huang Huai's family's turn.

Looking at the majestic and solemn Statue of Holy Lord Emperor Guan, perched high in the hall, Huang Huai's family lit thick incense candles and devoutly bowed to Holy Lord Emperor Guan.

The moment he lifted his head after kowtowing, Huang Huai's gaze fell upon the imposing Statue of Holy Lord Emperor Guan before him. A peculiar light flashed in his eyes. As Huang Huai stared, the Statue of Holy Lord Emperor Guan seemed to gather a dense, sea-like aura of Incense and Fire power around its body. The surging Incense and Fire Prayer Power hovered in the air above the hall, astonishing Huang Huai.

With just one glance, a sense of fatigue washed over him from the depths of his heart. Huang Huai quickly calmed his mind and averted his gaze. The Statue of Holy Lord Emperor Guan naturally lost its divine aura under Huang Huai's Mind's Eye Observation.

Yes, this ability to observe all things with his Mind's Eye was a small skill Huang Huai had developed not long ago after adapting to his surging mental power.

This ability wasn't particularly useful, but it allowed Huang Huai to see the different auras contained within certain objects.

After several experiments, Huang Huai discovered that he could only perceive anomalies in specific objects, such as revered portraits or items. Among these, he most frequently found statues that enjoyed Incense and Fire Prayer Power.

Just like the Statue of Holy Lord Emperor Guan before him, which had been worshipped by countless people for years, accumulating an immeasurable amount of Incense and Fire Prayer Power. Under Huang Huai's Mind's Eye Observation, he saw the magnificent and vast phenomenon of surging Incense and Fire Prayer Power, like a rolling sea, that he had just witnessed.

However, seeing such a grand and vast scene, with Incense and Fire Prayer Power covering the entire hall and even extending further, like a surging tide, Huang Huai was truly shocked.

He knew that Holy Lord Emperor Guan's Incense and Fire were flourishing. Although the crowds who came to worship Holy Lord Emperor Guan every year were like a sea of people, he had never had a clear understanding.

Now, with his Mind's Eye Observation, Huang Huai realized that the Incense and Fire of Holy Lord Emperor Guan were truly frighteningly abundant.

Just thinking about it, there were tens of thousands of Guan Yu temples worldwide. Wherever there were Chinese people, there was Guan Gong, and people worshipped Guan Gong.

Just as Mazu Niangniang is worshipped wherever there are Chinese people along the southeastern coast and in Southeast Asia, few deities could rival Guan Gong in terms of the abundance of Incense and Fire.

Guan Lin, as the only Guan Gong temple in the world called Guan Lin, was renowned both at home and abroad. Countless people came from all over the world every year to offer their Incense and Fire before this golden statue of Holy Lord Emperor Guan.

Looking at the golden statue of Holy Lord Emperor Guan before him, Huang Huai couldn't help but have a thought: what would happen if this statue of Holy Lord Emperor Guan were brought to another world?
