Chapter 70: Believer Mingxiu
Unconsciously, it has been more than a month since I came to Gumu County, and the time has entered July.
For more than a month, Liu Qing basically stayed in Gumu County, extending to the boundary of Xiaojinzhou at most.
Liuzhen is his home base, but his authority has been established over there, and he usually doesn't need to go there to deal with anything in person.
There are already so many incense that there is not much room for development.
By taking a little time every day to process the wishes over there, you can show the people over there that you are still working.
The number of believers over there is growing every day, and by July, the number of believers has broken 5,000.
More than eighty percent of his divine power was consumed in that collective healing activity.
However, after the number of believers increased to a few thousand, he provided a lot of divine power every day, and it didn't take long for his divine power to return to the state before collective healing.
Now in July, his divine power has at least doubled compared to before the collective healing.
Gumu County is the territory he currently wants to develop, but so far, only Xu Qingfeng can provide him with divine power, plus a Mingxiu.
Twenty or thirty people put incense every day, and there were only seven or eight believers.
Xu Qingfeng was not Liu Qing's believer yet, which made Liu Qing feel particularly depressed, and he felt that he had cultivated a white-eyed wolf.
If it weren't for the usefulness of this guy, he would really want to leave it alone.
The next scientific expedition was three years later, and he had already made a decision, and by that time, if it wasn't his followers, he wouldn't cultivate.
However, he is not without achievements here, at least he has developed Mingxiu into his own disciple.
Mingxiu's mental journey is quite complicated, at first he believed that there were ghosts and gods in this world, and then he entered the Dao Palace and became a Taoist priest, following Master Yun Yi, he saw that Master Yun Yi did too many things to pretend to be gods and ghosts, and he didn't believe in ghosts and gods anymore, and felt that all the legends of ghosts and gods were fake, just nonsense made up by the Dao Palace.
It wasn't until I met Liu Qing and witnessed the miracle that I knew that there were really gods in the world.
It's just that this deity is different from what is recorded in the Dao Palace classics.
Liu Qing would take some time to communicate with him every day, mainly through dream-making, all kinds of wonderful realms, the sound of the avenue, so that Mingxiu was completely trapped.
He gave birth to an idea, that is, all the gods worshiped by the Dao Palace were pseudo-gods, and the Dao Palace was also pseudo-gods.
They stole the Dao system.
The true gods are buried.
His thoughts made Liu Qing feel quite relieved - this is a real believer.
Then he told him that the true gods were also enshrined in the Dao Palace, but the gods were different from the gods, and there was also a dispute between the gods.
He also said that the number of divine energy enshrined in the Dao Palace is almost exhausted, and a new era will soon be ushered in.
A new group of gods will emerge.
If you want to become a new god in the new era, you must stand with him and follow the trend, so that you can enjoy the way of the gods and rest with the heavens.
- Such a statement was made after communicating with Mingxiu for more than a month and completely turning Mingxiu into his own believer.
He also told Mingxiu that he is now in the God Realm, although he has boundless mana, but the mana can only reveal a little bit to this world.
The mana he possessed now was less than one billionth of his own mana.
If you want to let more of his mana enter this world, you need more faith and more incense.
Mingxiu also told him that in the future, he would take the development of Liu Qing's incense belief as his top priority.
The Taoist temple and the city god temple have not yet been built, and the text he proposed to enshrine Liu Qing as the city god of Gumu County has been sent to the caravan to the seat of Master Yunyi in the state city, and he has also received a reply from the mage.
Master Yun Yi had already promised him the right to be the master, and he was also a mere city god, so he naturally would not refute it.
He also expressed his appreciation for opening up the situation so quickly after coming to Gumu County.
Mingxiu came over with twenty Taoist places, and in more than a month, five places have been spent, three of which were spent on the three county bigwigs of Chen Zhushu, Luo County Lieutenant, and Xia Qianhu, and they were not sold for money.
The other two were spent on two large merchants in the city, and one was sold for two hundred taels of silver.
- Of course, on the surface, it is not for sale, but for the teacher.
Then he had five more apprentices, all of whom were teenagers.
Those who can afford the quota of Taoist priests are not ordinary families.
Such a family has a strong reproductive ability, and there are a lot of future generations.
Choosing one to be a Taoist priest is also to share the family's risks.
Although you can't get married as a Taoist priest in this world, you can have a Taoist couple, or even more than one, and it's not a big deal.
If a Taoist priest can climb to the position of a mage, he can also keep the family's wealth for decades.
The thinking of not putting eggs in one basket is also shared by the big families in this world.
There are still fifteen Taoist priest places, and Mingxiu is not in a hurry to release them.
The less it is released, the more expensive it is, and he still understands this truth.
There is no shortage of money now anyway.
Even, since he believed in the god Liu Qing, he didn't have such a strong desire for money.
He wanted to be a god himself.
In his opinion, following Liu Qing is the best way to become a god.
The five apprentices are all the kind of people who can't learn martial arts like him, and they can't learn literature, to put it mildly, they are mediocre, and to put it mildly, they are waste.
The youngest was only twelve years old, and the oldest was only fifteen.
After these disciples came into his door, he gave them names.
He is not a very responsible master, so he named these five apprentices with the five elements, and in addition to the five elements, add a spiritual character, which is the name of the five apprentices.
He has to bow to Liu Qing every morning, noon and evening, and his apprentices must of course follow him, and they have to bow to Liu Qing every day.
In this way, Liu Qing has five more pilgrims in Gumu County.
However, they are just pilgrims, not believers.
Mingxiu didn't tell the apprentices anything that was very rebellious to the Dao Palace.
Liu Qing said that now that the Dao Palace is powerful, of course he will not say anything unfavorable to the Dao Palace.
On the surface, he still behaved respectfully to the Dao Palace, but he didn't think so in his heart.
The construction of the Taoist temple and the Chenghuang Temple has already begun.
The statue of the god was carved at the end of June.
The high-quality wood is used, and the carved facial features are Liu Qing's facial features.
For the carving master, Liu Qing also used the dream-making technique, and entered the master's dream as a city god, which deepened his impression, so that he could carve his image.
It's just that he hasn't been enshrined by incense yet, and Liu Qing is attached to it, and he can't feel anything different.
