In the City God Temple, incense is vigorous.

Gumu County is the only place in the world where every village has built a City God Temple.

For the vast majority of the people in Gumu County, there is only one true god in this county, and that is the City God.

There are also other gods enshrined in the Taoist temple, many gods who sound very powerful.

But none of them protected them.

The only one who really protected them was this city god.

They're basically people who haven't read a book, but that doesn't mean they're stupid.

They can still tell who is good to them.

It is precisely because of this understanding that they believe in this city god.

Not just Gumu County, some nearby areas. There are also those who believe in this city god.

However, that is, in those areas near Gumu County, the radiation circle is not very large, only about ten miles around Gumu County.

A little further afield, there is not much discussion of the Chenghuang.

Gumu County is a benevolent government, the county government is relatively generous to the people, there is no wanton expropriation, the people live relatively relaxed, have spare time to spread some news, can spread the story of the city god's apparition to everyone's ears.

However, in other counties, the production tasks are too heavy, and they either work in the fields every day or serve as conscripts, and they have no free time to talk to others about what they have and don't.

They didn't feel the benefits of the city god in Gumu County.

The way of transmission is relatively blocked, and there is no power to spread, so most people don't know the existence of such a city god as Liu Qing.

Some people know, but they don't feel anything.

However, in the counties of Xiaojinzhou, everyone knows that the city god in Gumu County is very spiritual.

People who live in the county have much better living conditions than people outside the city, have more free time, and have more channels to get information.

On the second day of February last year, the news of the collective treatment of people in Gumu County reached the ears of those people in Xiaojinzhou.

This one was mostly spread through caravanserans.

Those who are sick or whose family members are sick, after hearing such news, they go to many places to verify whether this is the case.

After receiving some definite answers, they are ready to come here for treatment on the second day of February this year.

Of course, there is still no bottom in their hearts, because they do not belong to the people of Gumu County, and they don't know if the city gods of Gumu County are willing to treat them.

But a lot of people still came.

This does not include the sinners of those counties.

Those sinners, the first could not afford to travel that far to seek medical treatment, and the second did not know much about such things.

Even if someone told them, it was only a myth and did not have the ability to verify it, so of course they did not take this kind of rumor that seemed to be out of touch with reality so seriously.

The people of Gumu County have more or less witnessed Liu Qing's miracles, such as waking them up in a dream to catch bandits, such as possessing starlings to spread God's will to them.

People from other places have not witnessed such miracles, and it is obviously unlikely that they would come to seek medical treatment at a huge cost.

That is, those people in the city, who have the money and time, can travel so far to seek medical treatment for a hope of survival.

Even they themselves felt that hope was slim.

This also includes the people of the state city.

The area of Xiaojin Prefecture is very large, and the overall shape is narrow from north to south, long from east to west, and it is wound into a long strip according to the shape of the Tibetan Gold Mountains.

The north and south are only three or four hundred miles apart, and the east and west are separated by more than a thousand miles.

From the farthest part of Xiaojin State to Gumu County, you have to walk hundreds of miles.

When Liu Qing returned to Gumu County, there were already some people in the city who came to seek medical treatment to live here, and after they came, they also went to the City God Temple every day to burn incense and bow down, hoping that the City God could treat them.

On the second day of the second month of February, more than 10,000 patients came to seek medical treatment.

The total number of people is not as high as last year's, but more than half of the people who came to seek medical treatment this time came from other places.

The local patient was almost treated by Liu Qing last year.

In a year's time, although there were some patients, the number was not large, and the condition was not very serious.

The amount of incense that the local patients need to consume is also very small, and some of them are Liu Qing's followers.

Among the people who came from other places, there were some who were rich but could not be cured, and some who were not particularly seriously ill but had no money to be treated, so they could only come all the way to seek medical treatment.

Headache, fever or something, people will not come so far to seek medical treatment.

They have to consume much more incense.

However, no matter how many people put it together, the amount of incense they need to consume is not as much as that consumed by a cultivator like Lin Youmeng.

He easily cured these people's illnesses and gained some believers.

The most important thing is that his reputation can be spread through these outsiders.

In Gumu County, he is a city god canonized by the Taoist temple, with an official status, in the Taoist palace's genealogy, he can openly engage in feudal superstition within the scope of his own jurisdiction, and he does not have to worry about being blamed by the Taoist temple.

This time, so many outsiders came to the collective treatment, and most of them still have a certain amount of spending power, which has brought great business opportunities to the county.

The City God Temple also took advantage of this opportunity to sell some of the peripherals at cost price.

- is the real cost price, don't try to make money, as long as you don't lose money.

Of course, the surrounding area of the City God Temple is related to the City God.

There is a statue of the god of the city god here, which is no longer a printed picture, but a porcelain statue fired in batches, all of which are based on Liu Qing himself.

The size of the statue is not big, only about three inches, but each one is very exquisite, and this one was designed by Liu Qing himself.

Each idol has been lit - that is, it has been placed in front of the shrine of the City God Temple and has been worshiped with incense, and it has a connection with Liu Qing.

Offering such a statue, Liu Qing can also receive incense.

If you bring such a statue back to worship, you don't need to come here to burn incense in the future, and you can also get the protection of the gods.

The Dao Palace does not allow the people to build obscene shrines privately, but the Dao Palace will not stop what kind of gods the people want to worship in their own homes.

A ceramic statue of a god, paired with a volume of "The True Book of the Earth Induction", has become a peripheral product of the City God Temple.

Such a product, without making their money, was sold to them at cost price, and they could continue to be blessed by the city god when they were enshrined, and it was impossible for those who were cured to refuse this piece of peripherals.

Some bought more than one copy, and bought several or even a dozen copies as soon as they made a sale.

They feel that this city god is very spiritual, not only to worship themselves, but also to bring some to relatives and friends to worship.

In one day, more than 50,000 copies of merchandise were sold.

This means that Liu Qing's Chenghuang branch has added more than 50,000 units dedicated to him based on family units.
