Chapter 66: Opening of the Business (Second Shift)
The next day, in the land of Mantuo, outside the gate of the waterworks.
The noonday sun baked the wet grass and the sweaty people, but everyone present did not have time to dislike the hated sun at the moment, but all of them looked at Ikyu with solemn expressions.
Ikyu wears a robe given by the system and stands behind a two-meter-long incense table.
The incense case was freshly made, freshly painted with crimson paint, and at the moment it was emitting a slightly pungent smell.
And there are four things on it, a miniature version of the wooden statue of Amitabha, a small copper stove, three large incense sticks, more than a meter long, plus a lighter.
The wooden statue of Amitabha Buddha is made by pilgrims, a craftsman who is familiar with wood carving, and the statue of Amitabha Buddha in the Buddha hall is imitated in equal proportions, and finally made a finished product of 20 centimeters high and 10 centimeters wide, but the carving is still a lot worse, and there is no way to sculpt the original Buddha statue on the face of the three points of compassion, three points of indifference, three points of mystery, and a point of compassion for all beings, but it is enough.
That incense is an extended version of last night's Yixiu and Wukong's master and apprentice who stayed up for most of the night to make, but the master and apprentice were tired, and the master and apprentice in the early morning had two dark circles under their eyes to participate in the opening ceremony of the water plant.
There is no need to introduce the copper tripod, in the Atlantis continent, everyone worships all kinds of gods, basically one crystal coin, you can buy ten.
The most important thing is the lighter, he is not an ordinary lighter, it is the Landis continent from the earth, the boss of lighters, whether there can be a hot start today depends on it.
Seeing that the time is almost up, according to the rules of the Hehuo country, they worship the gods and never pick the night, the fire god is the same as the sun god, symbolizing the light, symbolizing the fire, so everything is important, such as marrying, such as the first war between the two countries, such as the opening of the water plant today, will choose 12 o'clock at noon.
Ikyu didn't have much resistance to this question, so he chose noon, when the sun in the sky was already high in the sky, and the hour hand pointed to the twelve.
Yifeng, who was standing next to Yixiu, winked at Yixiu, turned around and knelt in a tray in his hand next to him, knelt down respectfully, and kowtowed three times to the statue of the god of fire on the tray, and then invited the statue of the god of fire to the side of the statue of Amitabha.
When the two idols were in place, several young men and women dressed as servants carried the heads of pigs, cows, and sheeps, and placed them on the left side of the statues of the god of fire.
Immediately, a few more people took trays and plates, and put a number of melons and fruits on the right side of the Amitabha Buddha statue.
Seeing that the preparations were ready, except for Yixiu and Wukong's master and apprentice, everyone paused their chests, knelt down towards the two gods, raised their hands high and pointed to the sky behind their backs, showing the shape of wild geese spreading their wings, and shouted in unison:
"Praise to Lord Hephaestus, the god of fire, and bless your people for the eternal glory of your people. After everyone finished speaking, they buckled their heads three more times before they stood up.
This arrangement also has its own considerations, since he has gained a firm foothold here in the name of the god of fire, this scene will also be pretended for the time being.
Therefore, it is not only in line with the rules but also harmless to let everyone worship the god of fire first, and then it is time to take a break from the performance.
I saw Ikyu grab three thick sticks of incense with his left hand, and muttered to himself, "Oh Mani Mani, don't be fire, oh Mani Mani, don't be fire"
In fact, no one could understand what Ikyu was singing, and the tone was almost the same, but he sang differently every time, but everyone felt that Ikyu was talking to the gods, so their expressions became extremely respectful, and when they looked at Ikyu, they suddenly became a little more scorching.
After singing this ugly song, under the gaze of hundreds of people, Yixiu slowly grabbed the lighter placed on the incense table with his right hand, clicked, and turned on the lighter linkage switch.
The next moment, a pillar of fire, equivalent to ten times the amount of fire produced by a normal fire engine, suddenly erupted from the fuel injection port of the fire engine, instantly scalding out a little white smoke from one of the incense sticks.
"Praise to Lord Hephaestus, the god of fire"... "Hail to Lord Hephaestus, the god of fire. ”
The next moment, everyone present knelt down again and made a prostrate salute to the lighter in Yixiu's hand.
Because they are all natives in the vicinity, they have also seen the projection, and they have heard others say that this lighter is an artifact given to Ikyu by the fire god Hephaestus himself.
Seeing a lighter is like seeing the god of fire, just as a token issued by a king is delegated to a regional consul to hold in his hand, and seeing a token is like seeing a king, for them it is an atomic bomb, it is faith, how can they not worship it.
And this is the effect that Yixiu wants, and he gives this water plant a name, the name recognized by the god of fire, of course, it is more ridiculous that it is borrowed from a lighter, but it can also achieve unexpected results, at least this name can scare away many people with bad intentions.
Next, it's the turn of today's main lord to appear, the god of fire wants to worship, of course, Amitabha Buddha also wants to worship, and Ikyu personally inserted three incense sticks on the incense burner in front of him.
Then, everyone got up, no need to bow again, but followed Yixiu to recite the "Diamond Sutra", of course, not a whole, there is a small part about blessings, in order to make everyone understand, Yixiu also specially translated, into a semi-vernacular scripture, which made everyone stumble to finish the scriptures.
The last time it fell, Yixiu immediately communicated with the system, although his heart was more painful, but he still ordered the system to summon the only task reward he had not redeemed now - lucky charms.
Three seconds later, when everyone was about to leave and start cleaning up the venue, Ikyu suddenly turned around and said loudly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, wait. ”
When everyone heard this, their footsteps suddenly paused, and they looked at it suspiciously.
Ikyu continued, "Just now the poor monk sensed Amitabha's blessing to us in the dark, and Amitabha Buddha said to the poor monk, Buddha, I am very satisfied with everyone's sincerity today, and decided to bless one of you, please get ready, maybe the next moment, the blessing of the Buddha will come. ”
"What?", a middle-aged man sighed in surprise, as if he remembered something, he was originally at the back of the line, and he spread his steps to squeeze to the front.
But what he could think of, others could think of, so more people rushed towards Ikyu.
As soon as he felt that the time was almost up, he gave an order to the system, and then, a golden spell appeared in front of Taylor, and the charm was suspended in mid-air, although it was in the bright sun, it was really very conspicuous.
Before everyone could react, the spell fell into Taylor's hand.
Everyone sighed for a while, saying that their blessings were too poor and they didn't get the blessing of the Buddha, but although Yixiu said to everyone, don't be discouraged, as long as you try your best to worship the Buddha, one day the Buddha will notice you.
In fact, how did they know that all this was a break to make the scene bigger and make it a dark box operation.
Only the stupid Taylor dragged the lucky charm in his hand, and he was so happy that he laughed almost like a chrysanthemum.
Half a minute later, when everyone's eyes were on him, and when he gave orders as the factory director, Taylor reacted and gave everyone his first life as the factory director.
"Everyone, today's task is to produce 3,000 bottles of water, and then Mr. Yifeng will help operate it, and everyone will be responsible for delivering it to the nobles and celebrities in several nearby cities, do you understand?"
When these workers heard Yi Feng's impassioned words, they were all excited, and they opened their throats and shouted, understood, understood, only Yi Feng stood aside and his face looked a little gloomy.
