Chapter 15: The Temple is Completed

Mr. Liu's body was parked for seven days and finally buried.

In the course of seven days, Liu Qing obtained more and more incense, and his divine power became stronger and stronger.

However, after the burial, the source of divine power suddenly decreased, from nearly two thousand incense offerings at the peak to only two or three hundred, this huge gap made Liu Qing feel quite unhappy.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

I'm used to a lot of deep influx, and all of a sudden it's so much that I'm really not used to it.

Just the two or three hundred incense sticks, or the two brothers who accumulated virtue and did good deeds compulsorily ordered those people in the Liu family compound to do it.

However, there is no longer any reason for those people to bow down in batches with incense as they did the other day before, to provide additional divine blessings.

It is also impossible to make incense every other hour, even at night.

Now it is three meals a day, and the incense is applied before eating, but the incense has become long incense, and the burning time has become much longer.

In the past few days, the consumption of incense sticks has been too great, and they have bought all the goods in the county, and now they are almost used.

Two days earlier, Liu Jide asked his family to prepare for an incense-making workshop, which could save a lot of money.

Construction of the Land Temple has begun.

The Taoist temple in the county sent a person with drawings to guide them on how to construct.

The establishment of the ancestral temple has specifications and standards, which must be carried out under the guidance of the Taoist Palace, and cannot exceed the specifications.

However, the specifications of Liu Qing's land temple still exceed the specifications of ordinary land temples.

The land temples that are found in every village are often only one or two square meters in size, and the houses are relatively low, with a statue placed in them, and then an incense burner is set up to make incense.

People of average height have to bend down and bow their heads if they want to get inside, otherwise they won't be able to get in.

The incense is also incense on the outside.

There are two reasons for this.

One reason is that small places don't have the financial resources to build big temples.

Another reason is that the god of the land is not a powerful god and does not deserve such attention.

The Liu family is the richest family in the entire Gyeongju, and of course it is impossible to build such a small temple.

I can't afford to lose that person.

In terms of financial resources, the Liu family is not lacking.

The main reason is that the rank of the land god is too low to enjoy a higher scale of worship.

However, the Liu brothers still won a higher standard for their old father.

The reason is that Master Fufeng's edict says that Liu Qing is the land god who protects the entire Liuzhen.

Then it can't be compared to the land god in the village.

Under the arguments of the two brothers, and under their high gold content, the Taoist people sent by the county Taoist temple to guide the construction were finally convinced.

The scale given is far more than those village-level land temples, but slightly inferior to the City God Temple - after all, the lowest city god temple is also at the county level, and a town-level earth god cannot be encroached upon.

The area of the temple is not large, but the Liu family has set aside a large area for this temple to build a relatively large courtyard.

This is the pomp of the Liu family.

Originally, Old Man Liu died, and the Liu family prepared a grand funeral, and the treasures that accompanied the funeral were prepared worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, but they were stopped by Liu Qing.

When communicating with incense, Liu Qing said that there was no need for a thick burial, no funeral goods, and that saving that money to do more good deeds, poverty alleviation or something, much better than this.

The Liu brothers also listened to his arrangement, and buried the old father without any extravagant funeral goods.

The tens of thousands of taels of silver saved were used for the construction of the land temple.

Liu Qing's statue was also made by one of the most famous masters in the county, using the best wood and carving it according to life-size proportions.

Of course, the image should also be carved according to the image of Mr. Liu himself.

But in the carving, it was slowly carved into the image of another person.

It is the image of Liu Qing before the crossing, not the image of Liu Lao, who has lived for a hundred years in this world.

The rest of the Liu family saw that something was wrong, and felt that this idol did not look like their old man at all.

When the old man was seventy years old, he asked someone to paint the portrait, and then he painted it again every four or five years, and there were many images there, and the carver also carved according to the images.

As a result, the carving is completely different from the one on the picture, which has to make people doubt the ability of the carver.

However, Liu Jide and Liu Xingshan thought that his father was like this back then, but the pictures were distorted, and the painter who was close to him back then did not draw them well.

They have such an illusion because Liu Qing has used the dream-making technique on them for several nights in a row, gradually transforming the image of Old Man Liu into his original image.

The time in the dream is different from the time in reality, under the effect of dream-making, the two brothers have lived with their old father for more than ten years in the way of memories, and in which process, the image of their old father has completed the original image of Liu Qing.

As for the real image of Old Man Liu back then, he had been replaced by Liu Qing with the Dream Crafting Technique.

There is no such thing as a camera in this world, and there is no way to preserve the images of the year, the two brothers simply thought that the carver carved it like, and the rest of the people could not come up with conclusive evidence to refute it, and in the end, only who had the most power was justified, and passed the carved version.

As for why the carver was able to carve such an image, it was also because Liu Qing used the dream-making technique on him, and the appearance of that image in his dream also affected him.

In the process of carving, he consulted the two brothers on how to make it more realistic, and the revisions they came up with were the same as what he saw in his dream, so he naturally revised them in that direction.

It took more than a month to build the Land Temple.

When the statue of the land god carved according to the image of Liu Qing was invited into the temple, the important figure of the Hongfa Hall in the state city Linghe Daoist came over, and the Taoist master of the county town also brought the team over.

This is the endorsement of the legitimacy of this land temple.

The plaque of the Land Temple is still written by Master Fufeng himself.

For this plaque, the Liu family paid a thousand taels of silver for the pen.

All this was done to show the world that this is a legitimate land temple, and the land god enshrined here is also a righteous god recognized by the Taoist Palace.

In the book of the land of the Kobo Temple, the name of Liu Qing, the land god of Liuzhen, has been recorded.

After Linghe Daoist and Wang Guan came over, they were also taken aback when they saw the scale of this land temple, and they were a little uneasy.

Later, he was persuaded by Liu Jide, who has the ability to make money, with a reason full of gold.

Wang Guan even personally led several Taoist priests to make a ritual to invite God, invited the statue of Liu Qing into the temple, put the shrine, and also put the first incense stick on this land temple.
