Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

Chapter 776: Faith surges, strength improves

On the other side, in the Magic City, there is the resettlement area of ​​the Tiantong Church.

Through a deep sleep, Zhang Zhiwei recovered all the energy he had previously consumed. At the same time, while he was sleeping, the Qi in his body was automatically operating, and the Qi consumed in the previous battle was replenished.

He has returned to his peak state, and even has made some progress.

This made him feel delighted. After replying to his master's message, he took the "national teacher" with him and began the daily self-examination, sorting out his own life and looking for reasons to improve himself.

Zhang Zhiwei never believed that one's cultivation level could be improved just by fighting.

Of course, he did not completely deny this statement, but this kind of breakthrough or improvement should be based on a sudden realization in a life-and-death crisis, or seeing through some truths, just like hearing the truth in the morning and dying in the evening is enough.

Fighting can only increase experience and skills, but cultivation must be put into practice and achieved through down-to-earth practice.

Although the battle he had fought before looked grand, it was not that dangerous for him, let alone allowing him to comprehend the truth between life and death.

A battle of that intensity shouldn't have allowed him to improve in any way, but he did, so he started to pull the "State Master" to check himself.

After going through it carefully with the "National Master", he found that other aspects of himself were not much different, but the power of his faith was several times more than before.

"I gained so much weight just after sleeping. Did the previous incident have such a big impact? Or did the fat guy promote me?"

Zhang Zhiwei didn't know that the people at Jianghu Xiaozhan had made a video of the scene in which he destroyed the Japanese pirate fleet and was selling it widely, which made him have countless little fans out of thin air. This was one of the reasons.

The second reason is that this battle between the Japanese fleet and the enemy was fought in broad daylight. Even if the Japanese army had cleared the scene before setting out, there were still many witnesses on the tall buildings in the distance.

Due to limited eyesight, these witnesses could hardly see the full picture, but even so, it still caused a huge sensation in the Magic City.

As a result, a rumor has been circulating in the Magic City in the past few days that a god covered in golden holy light has descended and easily killed all the Japanese pirates and destroyed their fleet.

This is the most mainstream view. Although it seems unreliable, too many people say it, and people tend to follow blindly. More and more people believe it. Of course, this is also the fact.

As for who this golden god is, there are many different opinions. Some say it is Erlang Shen, some say it is Sun Wukong, and some say it is Mazu...

But more people thought of the Tiantong leader who had become famous a few days ago, and wondered if it was his masterpiece. So they went to the Tiantong Church to ask the fat bishop inside.

The reply they received from the fat bishop was that the golden god was the descended Tiantong Sect Master.

This statement did not even require any explanation. As soon as everyone saw the statue with the incarnation of lightning stationed on it, they immediately believed it.

There is no other reason, it's just that the statue's charm is so great that even mortals can see its extraordinaryness at a glance. Standing in front of it, there is an indescribable tranquility in the heart, as if all the irritability has gone away.

The combination of various factors has led to unprecedented development of the Tiantong Church, with a momentum far exceeding that of the past.

The previous rumors about the leader of Tiantong fighting against the vampire king, solving the problem of the ghost soldiers borrowing the road, and protecting the safety of the entire Demon City, although the rumors were detailed, they were still somewhat illusory. How could they be compared with the battles in this play?

The sounds of gunfire and artillery fire in the city, the blood stains on the ground that could not be washed away with water, the large amount of warship wreckage floating on the sea, and the swollen bodies of the Japanese soldiers could not be faked.

There was no large-scale legion battle or enemy warship bombardment here, but such a thing happened. If it wasn't the arrival of a god, what else could it be?
Therefore, the number of believers in the entire Tiantong Church has expanded several times, and it is crowded almost every day, but the number is increasing.

This also allowed Zhang Zhiwei to receive a lot more power of faith.

After the power of faith reached a certain amount, a part of it actually began to nourish Zhang Zhiwei's soul, allowing his sexual power to be improved.

Zhang Zhiwei's sex and life are one, and the effect of improving his sex power naturally affects his whole body, but it is very subtle, but he still notices it.

“Has quantitative change led to qualitative change?”

Zhang Zhiwei said to himself that as a person who knew his own life to the utmost, he could understand the reason for the current change in an instant, even if he had just noticed it.

"The effect of the power of faith on oneself should not be so simple, there must be a deeper level of change!"

As soon as Zhang Zhiwei thought of this, his mind was determined and he instantly entered a state of extreme tranquility. Then, his consciousness rose steadily, transcending his physical body, and his soul came to a world composed of black and white lines.

His consciousness remained high, observing himself from a perspective beyond the heavens and the earth.

From this perspective, everything around is made up of black and white lines. These lines are very simple. Whether it is a person or an object, they are all outlined with a few simple strokes, but they are very vivid and people can recognize their true appearance at a glance.

But what is strange is that among these black and white lines, there is an outlier, and the lines that make up him are extremely complex.

If the others were stick figure-like figures, he was a complex portrait repeatedly outlined and filled in with pencil.

Moreover, this portrait is colorful, with strands of golden lines interwoven among the black and white lines, spreading all over the body, flowing slowly, and showing a tendency to increase in number.

“The gold has definitely become more abundant.”

Zhang Zhiwei said to himself, in the past, although he had many lines on his body, the gold color was only limited to his head, covering his entire face. It looked like a golden mask that was exactly the same as his original appearance. As for the other gold colors on his body, there was very little.

But now, gold has spread all over the body, although the concentration is far not as high as on the face, but this is a trend. If it continues, sooner or later the whole body will turn golden.

"Because of the abundant power of faith, there are more golden lines in the lines. If I continue, will it condense into a golden body? Or should I say..."

A word "reward body" came to Zhang Zhiwei's mind. Reward body is a Buddhist term, referring to the body of wisdom and merit obtained by Buddha through practice.

The so-called perfection of merit means the perfection of the reward body.

Merit can actually be equated with the power of faith to a certain extent.

“If everything turns into gold, then it means that one has become a god in a certain sense. The physical body is the incarnation, and the subjective consciousness that has been polished to the extreme is the Dharmakaya.”

Then, Zhang Zhiwei thought again, "In fact, it is the same when it comes to Taoism. The ghosts and gods we command are actually retribution bodies."

Zhang Zhiwei stared at his own slender body. Generally speaking, Taoist ghosts and gods are conferred after death, and then they can only be formed over time with the power of a lot of faith.

And he hasn't even died yet, but it's already formed? And judging by the effect, it's much stronger than those ennobled ghosts and gods.

"Unfortunately, my soul and body are fused together, and there is no distinction between you and me. This retribution body cannot be ordered to leave. However, there is always gain after loss. Although the retribution body cannot leave, it exists in the body, which is a certain improvement for myself."

Zhang Zhiwei thought to himself, and then, with a thought, his consciousness returned to the world and to his soul.

The black and white lines disappeared, and everything around him returned to normal. He stretched himself, stood up and walked out of the room. Outside was Pig Stable City, and outside that was the Tiantong Church resettlement area.

Because he had received a large sum of money, Wang Ai began to invest heavily in expanding the resettlement area. After getting advice from Zhang Zhiwei, he added some public fitness areas in the public places of the resettlement area, which contained some single and double bars and other fitness equipment.

So now the surrounding area is filled with the steady roar of mechanical sounds and densely packed workers working busily.

"Brother, you finally came out!"

As soon as I went out, I saw Tian Jinzhong shouting with a look of surprise.

"I'm taking a nap, why are you standing guard at the door?" Zhang Zhiwei asked puzzled.

"I've only seen you sleep a few times. You slept for such a long time this time. I was worried that you might have hurt your energy in the previous battle. Now it seems that you're fine!" Tian Jinzhong said with a smile.

"I am a little tired, but not really exhausted!" Zhang Zhiwei said, "I just took the time to sort myself out. I don't feel any other discomfort."

At this time, Zhang Huaiyi, who was leaning against the wall, said in a deep voice: "Spending time to sort out yourself? Brother, do you mean... you have made progress again?"

Zhang Zhiwei smiled and said, "Your eyesight is improving. You have discovered this."

Zhang Huaiyi was stunned. He just said it tentatively, but he didn't really see anything?
"Where have you improved?" he asked nervously. Although his failure was terrible, his brother's success was even more worrying.

"As the number of believers increases, the power of faith increases, and the blessing to myself becomes greater and greater." Zhang Zhiwei did not hide anything and told the truth.

"So it's about faith." Zhang Huaiyi heaved a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't about his life, it would be fine as long as it was about the golden light and thunder method.

Zhang Zhiwei was too lazy to care about Zhang Huaiyi's little thoughts and said, "How is it going? Have those forces that should be hit been hit?"

Zhang Huaiyi said: "It went very smoothly. There was basically no resistance. Lü Ci almost shit on their heads, but they didn't even dare to fart. They apologized in various ways. When they heard that Fatty Wang wanted to expand the facility, they were very enthusiastic and donated money and manpower."

"Then they are quite smart." Zhang Zhiwei said.

He was not surprised by this result. If he was really that stubborn, he would probably not be able to gain any influence in the Magic City.

Zhang Zhiwei noticed that the incense and qi aura on Zhang Huaiyi was getting stronger and stronger, and asked, "How is your performance of the divine mask going?"

"Through my contemplation during this period, I have made great progress. I believe that I will be able to try to break through to the third level soon!" Zhang Huaiyi said with a smile.

Zhang Zhiwei nodded and said, "Then hurry up. The power of faith has been increasing rapidly in recent times. If you miss it, it may be much more difficult to condense it in the future."

If you want to play yourself, you must first eliminate all internal and external distractions. Internal distractions are self-evident, while external distractions mainly come from the power of other people's belief in yourself.

If you have little power of faith, then it is naturally very simple. You just need to overcome the delusions in your heart. It is relatively simple.

If your own power of faith is very strong, then when you are concentrating yourself, these powers of faith will turn into delusions to interfere with you, causing you to forget your true self and condense a mask of divinity that conforms to the ideas of believers.

It can be said that the stronger the power of faith, the more difficult it is to condense it.

Although Zhang Zhiwei had the power of faith when he was condensing it, it was mainly promoted by him and Tian Jinzhong's big mouths. It was not much, nor was it strong.

Of course, with his abilities, no matter how strong his faith is, he can put aside all distractions and evolve into his truest self.

But Zhang Huaiyi is different. Last time when the Municipal Council forcibly demolished the resettlement area, he forced himself to show his power in front of people, which made him a big shot and received a lot of power of faith. It is more difficult for him to evolve himself than Zhang Zhiwei.

Upon hearing the news, Zhang Huaiyi's face changed. He had previously been busy changing his priesthood in the minds of his believers and considering what kind of abilities he would gain after a successful performance, but he completely ignored the difficulty.

If it was the previous Tiantong Church, the difficulty would be increased a little bit, after all, he, the big-eared general, was not very famous.

But with several operations by the senior brother, the Tiantong Church has become the largest church in the Magic City, and there is a trend of expanding outward.

As the most prominent big-eared general under the tutelage of the Tiantong Sect Leader, his status also rose with the tide.

If I continue to drag it on, I'm afraid that when I play myself again, I may not be playing myself, but the big-eared god. In that case, what's the difference between this and an ordinary divine mask?
We must hurry up... Zhang Huaiyi said: "Brother, I plan to start the ritual of condensing the godhood tonight... Please help me protect the law."

"No problem!" Zhang Zhiwei nodded.

Upon learning that Zhang Zhiwei had come out of seclusion, Lu Jin and others came to pay their respects. Not only Tian Jinzhong, but they were also worried that Zhang Zhiwei had injured his vitality in the previous battle. After seeing that Zhang Zhiwei was full of energy and full of energy, everyone felt relieved.

Lu Ci complained, "Brother Zhang, you were too harsh last time. Those fence-sitters are quicker to change their stance than anyone else. There is no need to hit them. If you slap him, he will smile and turn his other cheek. It's really boring."

He was a little unsatisfied.

"The faces of these forces are really disgusting!" Lu Jin also felt like he was punching the air.

Zhang Zhiwei glanced at the two of them and said, "You two are two brainless idiots. I told you to beat someone up and vent your anger, but you still end up getting so angry?!"

Lu Jin immediately became unconvinced: "Don't hit someone who smiles at you. The other party has already shown that attitude, so it's not easy for us to be ruthless!"

"They are just some underworld gangs or something. There's nothing wrong with being ruthless to them. If you are not satisfied with them, just find an excuse to solve the problem. What's the problem?" Zhang Zhiwei said casually.

In his hands, human life is sometimes very heavy, and sometimes lighter than a feather.
