Chapter 16 The first shot of Taoist fame
Qi Meng is an ordinary person selling steamed buns in Bluestone Town, but he feels that Bluestone Town seems to be a little different these days, because more and more people are talking about one thing in their mouths. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Taoism.
That's right, this is it, it sounds like a sect, but just this morning, Qimeng has heard several waves of guests discussing this sect, especially a strong man wearing a hat who can't see clearly, and one of them is talking about what is good about this Taoism, and what Taoist priests will heal people's wounds and diseases for free.
Gratis?
Qimeng is also an old fritter who has been in business for many years, and he doesn't believe in this kind of pie in the sky, but later a few guests seem to have been to the sect called Taoism, and the meaning revealed in his words seems to be that this Taoist treatment really doesn't cost money.
The three of them became tigers, and soon Qimeng's heart was shaken, could it be that this Taoism really can't cure diseases for free? Although he didn't have any serious diseases, he had a lot of minor diseases such as rheumatism, and he couldn't see it well when he was looking for a doctor, and he was reluctant to spend money when he was looking for a priest, so he just left it alone, and at most he just endured when it hurt.
Now this Taoist treats diseases for free, and I don't need money anyway to see for myself, maybe I can cure myself......
Thinking of this, after seeing off the last wave of guests, Qimeng packed up his stall and walked towards the Taoist religion that people said.
There are many similar situations, in the east of the city, in the south of the city, or in the west and north of the city, the word Taoism seems to have become a hot word, and many people driven by curiosity go to the place called Taoism.
And Qimeng found the Taoist church, was stunned, and said with some doubts: "Huh, was this a sect called the Grass God Sect before?"
The old priest Caton really wanted to establish the Grass God Sect at that time, so the geographical location of the Grass God Sect was very good, and the area was not small, and it was very conspicuous in Qingshi Town. Although no one believes in the Grass God Sect, there are many people in Bluestone Town who know the Grass God Sect, which also saves Rhodes a lot of trouble.
Walking into the church, Qimeng saw a strange symbol carved directly above, which seemed to be a word but did not seem to be, anyway, Qimeng did not recognize, but he knew that it was the emblem of Taoism, because there was also this symbol on the chest of the priest in front.
This strange symbol is the traditional Chinese character of the earth's 'Dao', and it is also the emblem of Taoism now, and in the past few days, Rhodes found out that the emblem on the church is still the grass of the Grass God Sect, but fortunately, last night let Arudiba find a blacksmith in the south of the city to make a few emblems overnight and changed the logo in the church, maybe there will be a lot of jokes.
Chimon looked around, and he found that there were quite a few people who had come to see the doctor, and the one who had just left after being treated by the priest was none other than the man he knew, Pol, the cobbler next door.
Wait, isn't Pol's foot crippled? Why did you just see that his legs and feet are no different from normal people, could it be that this priest cured them?
Qi Meng was a little excited, even his face turned a little red, it seems that this Taoist rumor is true, thinking of this, Qi Meng hurriedly lined up behind the people waiting for treatment, and poked his head out from time to time to take a look.
......
"Dao Ancestor is above, hello, what's your name?"
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him with a somewhat pale face, Rod asked with a smile.
"Chimon, Chimon Dieter. ”
Looking at the kind smiling face of the priest in front of him, Qimeng felt a little warm in his heart, and sat on the stool and rubbed his hands a little nervously.
"Mr. Chimon, I don't know what is wrong with you?"
Rod asked as usual, but he found that Qimeng's face suddenly turned red, his eyes were a little floating, as if he was embarrassed to explain, smiled, and Rod then said to him,
"Mr. Chimon, if you are sick, just tell me if you feel unwell, and I will help you heal. ”
In the past few days, Rod has also seen the power of the rejuvenation technique, whether it is a disability or a disease, all of them have been cured, the difference is only the amount of mental power consumed, which makes Rod more confident in his heart.
"This ...... All right. ”
Thinking that he had come to Taoism here to heal his illness, Qimeng gritted his teeth, approached Rhodes and said softly,
"Father, I'm the one, and that won't work. ”
"That?"
Rod was slightly stunned, then reacted, and smiled,
"It's okay, Mr. Chimon, you can cure it, you close your eyes. ”
As soon as he heard that this hidden disease Rod could also be cured, Qimeng's heart was excited, and he quickly closed his eyes and waited for Rode's treatment.
"Rejuvenation!"
Rod silently recited in his heart, and as soon as his mind moved, he saw several crystalline green points of light appear in the air, floating into Qimeng's body.
At this time, Qimeng's brows furrowed slightly, he felt a hot air appear under his lower abdomen, warm, itchy, as if there was a long-lost feeling quietly waking up, his eyes began to heat slightly, and his breathing was slightly short.
"Whew~"
Soon, Chimon let out a long breath, opened his eyes, and showed a light of joy, looking at Rod, he said excitedly: "Oh, great priest, thank you so much, I don't know how long this disease has bothered me, today I am finally cured by you, really, I am so happy!"
As he spoke, Rhodes saw the level of a junior believer slowly appearing on Qimeng's head, he had seen this situation many times, although not every patient who was successfully cured would believe in Taoism out of gratitude, but there were not a few people who became believers.
"Alright, Mr. Chimon, not only that disease, but also all other minor ailments in you. ”
Smiling, Rhodes continued,
"However, Mr. Chimon, you are now recovering from a serious illness, so you must pay attention to moderation. ”
"Uh-huh, thank you Daozu, thank you Father. ”
Chimon nodded excitedly, but the people behind him were urging, and he was embarrassed to continue to occupy his position, and after thanking Rhodes again, he left in a hurry, not knowing what he was doing.
Some people who want to try because they have no money to treat diseases or suffer from incurable diseases are cured, they go back to carry out free propaganda for Taoism, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and the number of believers is also growing rapidly, so after three days, there is a Taoist free treatment for people in the east of the city, and everyone knows about it in the whole Qingshi Town.
Bizarre rumors such as the living dead, flesh and bones, what a wonderful hand, seven times in one night, and what rejuvenation are also spreading among the people, but none of this is beyond Rhodes' expectations.
"Brother Carlin, these days I have been squatting in various taverns or stalls to promote our Taoism, and many people want to join our Taoism. ”
Arudiba threw the hat in his hand and smiled. If Chimon had been here, he would have found out that the strong man with the hat was none other than Arudiba.
"Well, good job, Dao Ancestor will be proud of you. ”
For praise, Rod has never been stingy, squinting his eyes slightly, he recalled the past few days.
A few days after leaving Donglin Village, he first ran through all the slum villages next to Qingshi Town and established a solid rural base area, and he recruited about 300 believers, plus the 80 or so people in Donglin Village before, close to 400 people. Then he picked out the forty men with the highest degree of faith out of the three hundred, and asked them to squat in every place in the city where there were many people, whether it was a tavern or a tea stall.
Subsequently, he asked these people to secretly publicize the news that Taoism can cure all diseases through small talk or other means, and then find a few excuses from other believers to exaggerate the truth of the matter. And so on, and the news spread quickly, and then he waited for the patients in the church to come and advertise himself for free.
This was Rod's plan, and now it seems that the plan was successful, and Rod called it,
The first shot of Taoist fame!
