Chapter 266: The Grand Temple
Chapter 266: The Grand Temple
"May our God be with you!" The fanatics were stunned at first, and then they shouted in unison along with Mr. Zhao, who had the fastest reaction.
"You believers of God, please stand up." Yijiu raised his hand with a look of compassion, and the holy light was almost shining upon him.
"Thank God, thank you Lord Tongyu." Mr. Zhao thanked sincerely.
"Thank you, God. Thank you, Lord Commander." All the fanatical believers thanked in unison.
"Zhao Er has already told me in detail about your piety and hardships. When the temple is completed and the statues are returned to their places, on the day of the temple's opening, I will report the truth to my lord, the God of Reincarnation." Yijiu spoke loudly with dignity and used his energy.
"We, the believers, thank the Lord Commander." Mr. Zhao said loudly.
"We, the believers, thank the Lord Commander." The fanatical believers followed in unison.
"What a talent, his last name is Zhao, I wonder if it's the Zhao Lei on the list?" Yijiu muttered to himself, but said: "All believers, please get busy first and gather again in the evening. Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao, lead the way to the temple to choose."
"Yes." Mr. Zhao and Zhao Er accepted the order respectfully and led Yijiu and his group in front, heading out of the depths of the valley.
"Lord Tongyu, the temple has been almost built and is currently being finished. The main construction now is to build rooms for believers." Mr. Zhao began to introduce the situation in the valley.
Yijiu was not surprised at all that the temple was about to be completed, because he understood the hearts of people in the outside world better than anyone else in Forgotten Land.
The two groups of members were surprised when they heard this. They thought that the first stop would be extremely busy, but now it seems that everything is ready and just waiting for them.
I have to say that the depth of Zhao Zhuan Valley is really not small. After listening to Mr. Zhao's description of the situation for a long time, I secretly measured it.
They had traveled a distance of three miles before they arrived at Luntai, which Mr. Zhao had mentioned.
Luntai is a terrain, and the inner valley looks like a lifted wheel, so Lungu is the original name of the valley, and the temple is located in Luntai.
According to Mr. Zhao, he bought this valley at a huge price with the intention of building a manor.
Now people contribute to building temples to show their piety.
"Very good, very good." Yijiu praised generously.
"It's what believers should do." Mr. Zhao smiled apologetically.
"May I know Mr. Zhao's name?"
"The believer's surname is Zhao and his given name is Lei."
"So you are the temple ceremonial officer personally appointed by Lord Nishin. You are quite good."
This second god is naturally Xiaocao.
"Perform the ceremony? Are you serious?" Zhao Lei was so excited that he lost his composure and quickly apologized: "Please forgive me, Lord Tongyu. I was too reckless."
"There's no need to do that. Zhao Zhili is a smart man. There's no need to be too restrained."
"I dare not, I dare not." Zhao Lei said he dared not.
Yijiu smiled and said nothing more. He quickened his pace because he heard the shouts of people working in the deep valley, and there were quite a few people doing so.
"Zhao Zhili, how many believers are there in the valley?" asked the letter.
"To answer Lord Shenshi's words, there are nearly a thousand believers in the valley. They all gathered from all directions a month ago, following the orders of Lord Er Shenyu." Mr. Zhao introduced the situation of the fanatical believers in the valley.
When Yifeng saw the blue brick and tile temple, which was backed by mountains and faced the water, with bluestone as its base, logs as its pillars, four meters high and covering an area of 300 square meters, two words flashed through his mind: grand.
He was so generous that he patted Zhao Lei on the shoulder and said, "You did a good job, and the believers did a good job."
"Thank you for the praise, Lord Tongyu." Zhao Lei said loudly.
"Thank you, Lord Tongyu, for your praise." Several local tyrants and gentry who came with them responded loudly.
"No need to be so polite. Let's find a place to discuss business. Zhao Er, go and notify the believers named by this commander to come for the meeting." Yijiu reported a string of names.
After Zhao Er took note of it, he hurried away to call for help.
"Lord Commander, gentlemen, please come this way." Zhao Lei led the way.
After passing a path through the woods, the view suddenly opens up.
A large pavilion appeared in front of Yijiu and the other two. It was obvious that this pavilion was the private land of the local tyrant Xiang Kun.
After arriving at the main construction site, Yijiu asked the others to form teams and spread out to find out the situation, so the number of people in the pavilion, including the three of them, totaled 8 people.
Yi Jiu sat down and drank a cup of tea, then looked at the five local tyrants and said, "You are all smart people, so let's be frank. I'm sure you have guessed that the God of Reincarnation is the temple spirit."
The five old men nodded in unison when they heard this. They were local tyrants and naturally knew more than the villagers. They also had information channels and could provide references and corroboration.
Zhao Lei, the representative, said truthfully: "We believers have used our connections to inquire about the various magical properties of the temple spirits and have confirmed some of them."
“But what surprised believers like me was that we received news that no temple spirit would be like a god who has turned back to God and selflessly bestow spiritual energy to nourish people like us who are seriously ill and dying.”
“Yes, if it weren’t for God’s grace, I would have died a year ago, and the grass on my grave would be more than a meter tall.” The old man, who was about sixty years old, with a ruddy face and leaning on a cane, said with great gratitude.
“Not only can it cure diseases, it can also cure hidden injuries. I was originally lying in bed waiting to die, but after receiving the grace of my god, not only did my hidden injuries recover, I also broke through to the fourth level.” said the old man with white and black hair and a fierce face.
"Everyone here has not received the blessing of the God of Reincarnation, and everyone is a fanatic. So let's not show our loyalty, but get down to business so that Lord Commander can make arrangements." The old man dressed like an old gentleman rubbed his ears.
Some saliva splashed on his ears.
"Yes, yes, yes. Ghosts have been rampant recently. We need to let Lord Commander know so that we can take precautions. Lord Commander, let's protect the temple well." said the old man dressed as a wealthy businessman.
"Dong Dong Dong" Yijiu knocked on the table and said, "Zhuan Huishen felt that the world was dark and demons and ghosts were about to wreak havoc on the human world, so he gathered you fanatics to build a temple so that he could show his power and bless the world."
"So stop talking nonsense and focus on finishing the temple first. Choose a day to invite the elephant and open the temple."
"To be honest, there are more fanatics than just you who built the temple."
“So we, the clergy, have to follow the river eastward.”
Zhao Lei's face immediately changed when he heard this and he said, "Master Tongyu, if you leave, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to protect the temple."
"It is the duty of the Spirit Guards to protect the temple. We are only responsible for... Never mind, we'll talk about it later. You just need to remember this."
"That is, the more incense and prayer power the temple gathers, the safer the temple will be."
"The void passage in the temple." The old gentleman blurted out with a gleam in his eyes.
"It's good to have someone who understands. I won't waste my words."
"Spiritual Guard?" Mr. Zhao's eyes lit up when he thought of something.
"The temple's void passage sends spirit guards over to guard the temple." The wealthy old man connected the dots.
"So the power of incense and vows is the key." The old man with the cane murmured.
