Chapter 13: It's Good to Be Rich

Liu Qing's consciousness drifted around Liuzhen, and when it was shining in the east, he began to rush to the Liu family's compound.

This world is a world of very backward productivity, but at the same time it is a world that is not polluted by industry.

Green mountains and green waters, thatched houses, and Liuzhen in the early morning is as beautiful as a landscape painting.

- If you just pass by, and don't live here, it's really beautiful and picturesque.

However, Liu Qing was not in the mood to see the scenery along the way, and he wanted to return to the Liu family compound before the sun came out.

On the way home, I saw groups of people going to the Liu family's compound, and on the way, they were also excitedly discussing how delicious the Liu family's food was.

Obviously, those people went to Liu's house for breakfast.

You can eat a free meal if you go to Shangxiang, and you can eat it with your belly open, which is simply worth it for them.

There is some gratitude to the Liu family in his words, and he feels that Old Man Liu has accumulated virtue and done good deeds all his life, and after he died, he brought such benefits to everyone.

If there are more such people, their poor life will be much better.

The only thing that has a little regret is that Old Man Liu's body will only be parked for seven days before it will be buried in the ground.

By that time, there will be no place to eat.

For these people, Liu Qing did not look down on them, but hoped that the more such people there were, the better.

Before the sun came out, Liu Qing rushed back to the Liu family compound.

The sun had not yet come out, and he had already felt the threat brought by the far east, and knew that he could not exist in the sun now, so he could only obediently hide in the mourning hall.

In the afternoon of this day, the Taoist priest invited by the Liu family from the county town came over, rested for a while, commanded the subordinates of the Liu family to set up the stage, and began to do things in the evening.

Liu Qing obtained some fragmented memories outside of Old Man Liu, and there was a picture of a person flying in the air in his memory, knowing that there was an extraordinary power in this world.

Those Taoist priests came to do things, and he hid in the coffin and was a little worried, whether he would capture him, the soul who had crossed over from the other world.

But seeing that they had done the Dharma all night, it didn't have any effect, so I was relieved.

I thought to myself: "It turned out to be just a group of swindlers who engaged in feudal superstition, and I was worried in vain." ”

Before Liu Qing crossed, he had also seen the elders in the family die and invite Taoist priests or monks to do things, and the rituals were relatively simple.

This time, the Liu family invited a Taoist priest to do it, and the scene was very big.

There are more than 100 set paintings related to those ghosts, ghosts, gods and gods, including the 33-day picture of Taoism, the eighteen-story hell map, and the various gods and goddesses of various ways to subdue demons and subdue demons, each picture is painted on a cloth that is four or five feet high and one zhang long, and I don't know how many years it has been, and there is a sense of history when it is hung.

Those paintings are also very freehand, the size may not be standard, but the artistic conception is vividly expressed.

The gloomy horror of the eighteen-day map and the purity and remoteness of the thirty-three-day map are all well expressed.

Those sets unfolded to form small compartments, and walking around them was like entering the thirty-three realms step by step from the eighteen layers of hell.

There are also a lot of magic weapons brought by the Taoist priests, all kinds of them, although they can't see any effect, but they are still quite bluffing to use, just like that.

Although it is a feudal superstition, Liu Qing watched it with relish.

β€”β€”After another day, he accepted the incense offerings of so many people, and his divine power was even stronger, and he could clearly perceive the situation within thirty meters of him, even if he was lying in the coffin, he could sense the rituals made by the Taoist priests.

The perceptual radius is thirty meters, not thirty meters in diameter.

That's a big range.

Within this range, what is perceived is much clearer and more comprehensive than what is seen.

On this night, because of the Taoist priest, the neighbors who lived nearby came to see the excitement.

They are not only lacking in material civilization, but also lacking in spiritual civilization, and there are usually no entertainment activities.

Some of them didn't go back until two or three o'clock in the middle of the night.

watched the excitement here, and got another notice - as long as you incense Mr. Liu at night, you can also eat a free supper.

There is nothing good to eat at night, just a bowl of somen noodles, so that they will not starve and watch the excitement.

Just such a notice made those neighbors happy and praised the Liu family for their generosity.

After watching the excitement in vain, and being able to eat a meal, where is there such a good thing in this world?

The Taoist priests invited by the county also found that it was a bit abnormal for this family to hold a funeral, with so much incense, and their family had to put on incense every other hour, and they had to kneel for a few minutes when they put on incense.

They don't know how this is exquisite, and they are a little curious, but they just can't ask.

They just take the money to work and do their own thing, there is no need to ask.

These Taoist priests collected a lot of money from the Liu family, and they were very tired from work, and they had to do a ritual every hour, do it for half an hour, and then rest for half an hour, from day to night, until the day before the funeral.

If you are an ordinary person, you can't hold on at all.

Fortunately, they all do this, and after doing the rituals, they can fall asleep quickly.

Just sleep intermittently, work intermittently, and persist for three or four days.

One day later, the Liu family compound even set up a stage, and invited the troupe to come over and sing.

The official eunuchs, the scholarly family, did not do this when there was a funeral, but the landlords and old fortunes of the people liked this, which could attract more people to come and watch the play, and by the way, they would keep vigil for the deceased, which would be more platoon-like.

It was very satisfying to watch the lively neighbors that night, and I could see the Taoist priests doing things and singing.

After the Taoist priest finished the ritual and rested, the troupe began to perform.

And those of them who watch the excitement, as long as they put on the incense, they can eat and drink for free.

Liu Qing didn't go out at night, and he also followed to watch the excitement.

In this process, his divine power was still increasing at a relatively fast rate.

The number of people who are incense has not increased much, after all, everyone who can come nearby has come, and those who are too far away have to walk for half a day to eat a meal, so they have to sum up whether it is worth coming.

On the fifth day of the funeral, in the afternoon of the same day, Liu Jide's eldest son-in-law Qin Kai rode a fast horse to the Liu family compound.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he shouted excitedly:

"Father-in-law, father-in-law, Master Fufeng's edict has come down! Except for the old members of our family, he was named the land god of Liuzhen! ”

At this time, hundreds of neighbors who had eaten in the courtyard of the Liu family had already come, and when they heard Qin Kai shouting like that, their eyes widened - Old Man Liu had become a land god? What's going on?

- Didn't the old man just die? How did you become a god?

- Is it so good to have money?

Liu Qing, who was hiding in the coffin, also heard such a shout, and was finally relieved.

The position of the land god has been obtained, and with a stable source of incense, he can also justifiably engage in feudal superstition, develop believers, and harvest faith in the future.

I can't help but sigh:

"It's good to have money!"
