When Xu Qingfeng and Liu Qing communicated, they were silently chanting in their hearts, and they didn't say anything.

The two of them made a big deal, but in the eyes of others, it was Xu Qingfeng who knelt there holding the incense and did not move.

Everyone prayed like this, and Xu Qingfeng looked like this, and no one thought it was strange.

At most, it felt like he was praying a little longer.

However, for a person who has not succeeded in entering Beijing three times to catch the exam, it is normal to be anxious.

After the exchange, Xu Qingfeng got up and went to the temple keeper Lao Sun to ask for a statue of the god of the land, saying that he wanted to invite him home to worship.

His behavior also caused the rest of the people to follow suit.

Lao Sun had some hesitation, but he still reminded them that this statue needs to be worshipped, and it must be worshiped every day, otherwise it will be blasphemous and may cause ominousness.

Lao Sun's statement made most of these readers dispel their thoughts.

Offering incense to the god of the land is just a whim, and most people still look down on this god in their hearts.

asked to bring the idol back, also thinking that maybe he could bless himself, anyway, it didn't cost money.

But now I hear that after taking it back, it will be enshrined, and I will have to worship it every day, so I feel that it is too troublesome.

And the worship of a land god at home, or a land god elsewhere, seems a bit nondescript.

Only a few still insisted on asking for the idol and inviting the idol back.

This includes Xu Qingfeng.

Of course, Lao Sun did not refuse, and took a statue to everyone who still insisted on the idol.

When leaving, these decent scholars also gave each of them a few copper plates to Lao Sun.

There aren't many tips from everyone, but dozens of people add up to a lot.

Some of the copper plates rewarded were the money of the two, and some of the money were the money of the five, and after they left, the old grandson counted it, and there were more than 500 yuan.

This was the first money he received after becoming a temple keeper.

There is no merit box in the land temple that accepts money, and there is no income, so it is purely to open the temple with money.

This time, it's because these scholars are decent people, and everyone has money in their families, so they will give some tips.

After receiving the money, Lao Sun had some joy and some trepidation, and then went to ask the black starling who was locked in the cage:

"Divine envoy, do I want to give this money to the owner, or do I keep it for myself?"

He wanted to keep it for himself, but he didn't dare, for fear that the Liu family would think that he was corrupt, so he asked the divine envoy to call the shots.

The black starling replied: "Keep it for yourself, it's not easy to guard the temple every day, this is the reward for you." ”

It's just a few hundred words, and Liu Qing can't look down on this money.

And to tell the truth, Lao Sun is fifty or sixty years old, and it is not easy to take care of this land temple, and he has done a good job, and he should receive this money.

He spoke, and Lao Sun carefully put away the hundreds of dollars, put them in a clay pot, and then put the clay pot under the bed.

I am very grateful to those who read, and I think that it is better to have more such generous pilgrims, these are high-quality pilgrims.

The group of high-quality pilgrims in his heart came over, and a lot of money was spent, and more than 100 taels were donated to the bursary.

But when I went back, no one felt wronged, and they all felt that this trip was worth it.

The money was spent, but it was donated to the school, and it was a meritorious thing.

And the Liu family also promised to make a merit monument and engraved their names on the stone tablet at the school gate.

As long as that school is still there, and that merit tablet is still there, their names will be handed down.

As a reader, they care a little bit about reputation, and they think it's worth it.

What's more, on this trip, I saw a starling who could only talk to them, and he also made two poems.

Dozens of people had the same dream again, and they saw the existence of miracles.

In this way, the trip is worth it.

On the way back, they were discussing how to compile a book of what they had experienced on this trip.

Dozens of people who went were involved, those who could write travelogues, those who could write novels, and those who could write poems.

Everyone hands in a piece of work, and they can make up a book.

- Most of the books in this world are quite thin, and one can be made out of one or two thousand words.

If this story becomes popular and becomes a myth, their names will be passed down through the ages.

Speaking of this, they are quite excited.

On the way, someone also asked Xu Qingfeng why he asked for that portrait of the land god.

Worshipping a god for a long time is a very troublesome thing.

If you don't make offerings, you may bring disaster to yourself.

For the sake of a land god, it doesn't seem so worthwhile.

Xu Qingfeng replied with a smile: "Anyway, there are other gods at home, plus a land god, it's just convenient, it's not much trouble." ”

He didn't tell these friends about his private dealings with the land gods.

He felt that since the land god had promised himself, he would definitely help.

However, there are so many lifters in the world, and there is only one god who can manifest in the world, as far as he knows.

If other people come to worship this land god and make a deal with the land god, it's really hard to say which one the land god will help.

He didn't want to publicize it and add competitors to himself.

Not to mention anything else, there is another person in the same company, although this one is his best friend, but he doesn't want this best friend to become his competitor.

If you want to share this, you have to wait until after the high school jinshi.

The group walked to the town, had lunch at the only restaurant in the town, and then rented a carriage and headed to the county.

Most of them are not from the county seat, but they are all studying in the county and have bought houses in the county seat.

The reason why they all choose to live in the county is mainly because there are more people reading there and it is more convenient to communicate.

There is a literary club among the dozens of them, and they often exchange articles together to improve each other.

Sometimes I will organize a group to help some poor young ladies who are unfortunately in the dust.

If you stay in your hometown, life will be leisurely, but there will be a lot less exciting.

Xu Qingfeng also has a house in the county, and together with the yard, it covers an area of more than one acre, and the house is not big, but with a small garden, a family of several people lives there, which is not bad.

It was bought by his family for a few hundred taels of silver.

In addition to him and his wife, there lived a son, a daughter, and two children, as well as two young maidservants, a cook and an old slave sent by the family, a total of eight people.

As soon as Xu Qingfeng got home, he took out the portrait of the land god and beckoned the two young maidservants:

"This is the true god I invited, you hurry up and set up a shrine for me, and offer this land lord, and you will have to put incense every morning, noon and evening in the future, and you can't be rash."

His wife was puzzled: "You didn't believe in this before, why do you want to get this today?" And you are also a land god - you are a dignified old man, worship a land god, are you not afraid of being laughed at when you spread it? ”

"What do you understand?"

Xu Qingfeng shook his head and said:

"Don't say such things in the future, let me tell you, this land lord is a true god! I have seen him appear with my own eyes, so you have to be respectful and do not neglect anything. Whether I can enter high school next year depends on this land master! ”
