Chapter 8: Miracles, Messengers
In fact, Zhou Bai didn't dare to make it clear, Weili can only be attributed to himself.
It's just that a mortal said this in front of the gods, which was contrary to common sense, and he didn't want to stimulate the mountain gods too much.
The atmosphere was cold, the scene was very embarrassing for a while, and it is estimated that the mountain god did not expect a country hunter to dare to disobey him, and he may be a little dissatisfied in his heart.
But soon he burst out laughing, and looked at Zhou Bai's eyes full of appreciation.
"Pitching is worthy of heaven and earth, acting is worthy of one's own heart, and there is some taste of reading seeds. If it weren't for the fact that your ancestors were all from Qingshan Village, I would have thought you were a disciple of a great Confucian. ”
"Praise the gods." Suddenly, the divine pressure was dispersed, and Zhou Bai's thoughts condensed on the bronze gate were finally relieved, and he was not mistaken about the gods.
This mountain god should be an official of a certain dynasty, with his own ethics, and he was enshrined after his death, but the later generations of the dynasty did not recognize it, so he almost fell.
"Why do you ask for such help from me when you don't believe me?" The mountain god bowed slightly, and the color was right.
He didn't mention the grace of driving away wolves and saving his life, because in his opinion, this was the fate that He Dong had offered for many years, and now he owed a favor.
Zhou Bai wanted to reach a cooperation agreement with the mountain god as much as possible, so he said directly: "I just want to ask the god for one thing, if I agree, within a month, I should spread the name of the mountain god in a hundred miles." ”
"Good."
……
In the next few days, there were often vibrations and low roars in the Xiaoqingshan Mountains, and occasionally the divine light and black gas collided, which were seen by the villagers under the mountain.
Zhou Bai took this opportunity to trumpet the power of the mountain god, saying that this was the mountain god cleansing the demons and ghosts and cleaning up the poisonous miasma.
The news spread far and wide by the believers of Qingshan Village who had seen the miracle, and several nearby villages, especially those attached to Xiaoqingshan in other directions, sent people to investigate.
The mountain god who only exists in the mouths of the old people in the village can actually shelter the believers again?
Many people didn't believe it, and there were even ill-intentioned ruffians who tried to report it, as long as the hunter He Dong had a lie.
And Zhou Bai, who thinks that he is acting as a mountain god in the mortal world, was not slapped in the face.
With the continuous worship of the first batch of believers, the mountain god gradually regained his authority and control over Xiao Qingshan, even if the divine power is not much, it is not some unsuccessful demons and ghosts that can be subverted.
A large number of evil ghosts were suppressed by the mountain gods as a whole, and a small number of ghosts and demons who did not harm people were accepted as mountain patrol envoys and mountain protection orders, and the clear air in the mountains began to suppress the turbidity.
The clogged earth qi flowed freely, the dried springs spewed out mountain springs, and the animals on the periphery gathered in the mountains.
Even though the snow falls in the cold winter, there are still new buds from the ancient trees, and the yellow leaves and white snow appear to be kind and green, full of vitality.
This is not a miracle, as long as you go to Xiaoqingshan or even look at it from a distance at the bottom of the mountain, you will know that the words of the awakening of the mountain god are not false.
In these troubled times, the law of the dynasty is gradually losing its majesty, and the strange things that were lost in the world in the past are endless.
Coupled with the government's tyrannical expropriation, there are too many helpless people, who doesn't want to ask for a sustenance.
As a result, the believers of the Xiaoqingshan Mountain God have grown at a rate that is almost visible to the naked eye, one thousand, two thousand, three thousand......
By the five days before Zhou Bai was to leave, more than 3,000 people had worshipped the mountain gods, and a large number of wooden and ceramic statues had been invited home.
For this reason, after Zhou Bai obtained the consent of the mountain god, he elected fifteen temple ministers to manage the mountain temple, and they performed their own duties, which not only accelerated the conversion speed of pilgrims and believers, but also turned the consecration of the god statue into a business.
The five surrounding villages have selected the location of the temple, and all expenses are allocated by the temple account.
Five thousand believers made Zhou Bai's origin point become blackjack, which made him a little disappointed.
[Origin point: twenty-one] (You are a god in the eyes of outsiders, and you have prestige in the countryside, and the origin point is added to five; You bother to spread the belief of the mountain god, and you are blessed by the mountain god, and your favorability increases, and the origin point is increased by five. )
It's a pity that the time is too short, and the names of He Dong and the mountain gods are limited to spreading among the countryside, even if the range is more than 100 miles, there are not too many believers from the county seat.
If I were given another month, I might be able to take the county "market", which is the most populous place.
It's a pity that I can't go back, not to say that falling asleep will cause accidents, let's just say that it is impossible to miss the county exam in the main world two days later.
If you want to make a breakthrough again, there is not enough time, so Zhou Bai plans to enjoy life in another world, but who expected a big change.
The rebels, who were originally quite far away, took advantage of the heavy snow to launch a surprise attack, and broke five county towns and one prefecture city in half a month.
At this time, the rebels had already arrived at the border of the prefecture, and the imperial court was furious, and the garrisons of the surrounding counties and prefectures were gathered to prepare to defend to the death, and it would take a lot of time for the forbidden army to be dispatched.
The smoke clouds of war have been lifted, and whether it is a thief or a soldier, it is an existence that ordinary people are unwilling to face.
Bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grates.
A large number of people from the front line and rebel territory have fled, and Xiaoqingshan, which has access to the rear prefectures, is a good choice.
At the head of Qingshan Village, a large number of outsiders gathered here, and Zhou Bai led a group of temples to fight to keep them.
"Stay in Qingshan Village, we will help build a house, if the money is lost or not enough, you can apply for a guarantee from the Mountain Temple!"
"Mountain gods? Can God be blessed? ”
"Listen to them, there are no demons and ghosts here, and there are no bandits and soldiers, so you should stay."
"But if you anger the mountain god, it's hard for you to die."
"Our old couple can't walk anyway, worship God honestly, what are you afraid of......"
In this way, Zhou Bai gave up his otherworldly vacation and turned to shine in the last few days.
Xiaoqingshan has the appearance of the mountain god, which is a blessed place that can feed people, and you can be blessed there.
Driven by external forces, the name of the mountain god began to spread among the homeless, and these homeless people gathered to Xiaoqingshan for an ethereal hope.
Even due to the restrictions of information and transportation in this era, the growth of mountain god believers did not explode in a short period of time, and the number of new believers increased by a few hundred in a few days.
However, Zhou Bai's move to keep the displaced people and spread the influence of the mountain god allowed him to gain another ten points of origin.
There were only twenty-one points in the past two months, but with the help of dynastic turmoil, the rebels attacked this era event, but they could easily obtain ten points of origin.
Unconsciously, Zhou Bai had a clearer understanding of the acquisition of the origin point.
It's okay to expand your influence, and it seems like it's okay to participate in the major events of the current world?
Because the so-called divine envoy He Dong is here, more and more people have come to Qingshan Village for help, but there have been no displaced people worthy of Zhou Bai's attention.
Until the last day, a group of elite men armed with knives and arrows tried to enter Xiaoqingshan.
"Dongzi, be careful, these people have seen blood, and they don't know if they are soldiers or bandits." The old village chief said to Zhou Bai very cautiously.
Zhou Bai also knew that this group of people was not simple, they acted competently, and their eyes were full of murder.
The leader is even wearing leather armor, the heavenly court is full, the nose is straight and wide, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is not an ordinary person at first glance.
Zhou Bai was frank and fearless, stepped forward and talked straight, what was he afraid of in Xiaoqingshan.
However, when he got closer, this ordinary person who had never met gave him inexplicable pressure, and without words, Zhou Bai's mind was also clicked on the pages of the bronze portal.
"These strong men, dare to ask what you are doing in Xiaoqingshan?"
"Li Lai, the post man of Mi County, bring the brothers to Xiaoqingshan and fall into the grass for the sake of the Kou!"
