In the evening, during the lessons.

"Huh?!, you want to build the altar of the water elemental god?" Dong Hezi was taken aback when he heard Bob Faith's explanation.

When I first arrived in this world, I found that everyone here would choose a god to worship, and there were even rumors that the unbelievers would be nailed to the walls of the Hidden Ones and punished forever, and some said that their souls would fall into the depths of the nine layers of hell and be swallowed up by the lord of hell. Of course, there are other more terrifying, weirder theories.

Although the practitioners are all people whose fate is up to me, I am deeply skeptical of these statements. But in the spirit of following the local customs, and more things are better than less, he said that he revered Elichia, the god of the water element. I chose this deity mainly because I felt that her teachings were closer to my own ideas. And the word "reverence" was deliberately used instead of "faith".

I didn't expect these people to take it seriously! What nonsense, that water elemental god didn't help with a single thing, and he actually wanted to repair an altar for her?

He deliberately said: "Bob Feth, you must understand that the most important thing in believing in a god is not to build an altar temple for her, nor to sing praises for her, but to change your heart according to her teachings, so that her expectations can penetrate into the depths of your soul, this is the true belief." And we druids are not pastors, so we don't have to do any missionary duties. So personally, there's no need to build these things. ”

As a true practitioner, Dong Hezi does not believe in gods, nor does he oppose his students believing in any gods! Because practitioners will be jealous of ghosts and gods, and if they believe in them, they will be suppressed openly and secretly, and there will be no possibility of progress. But I also have to think about the way back for the ordinary people here, in case the souls of the unbelievers really have to be punished, then it is also a good thing to build an altar so that the souls of these ordinary people can have a home. Because not all people are suitable for cultivation.

Ignoring Bob Firth's look of loss, he continued, "But I know that you are afraid that if you don't respect the gods, your souls will not find a home after death. It is also appropriate to build an altar as a token of respect. However, the god of the water elemental is a god who does not like extravagance and pompousness, and this altar does not need to be luxurious or ornamental, as long as it has a basic structure. When the time comes, I will make a statue for you and engrave her name. Then it will be available for you to worship. ”

Bob Feth was overjoyed, the teacher's words were equivalent to indirectly accepting that the townspeople had become believers in the god of the water element, and his parents no longer had to worry about the souls after death, so he said excitedly: "Then you must make a big statue! I heard that in the temple of the big city, the statue of the god can be several stories high, and we need one here! I know you will be able to do it." As he spoke, he shook Dong Hezi's shoulder and pleaded.

Dong Hezi lamented in his heart, what a trouble. But he said, "Good, good, good, we must build a very big statue." ”

Winter is the time of the farming, and here is protected by the seal of the wind, and the wind and snow are difficult to invade and the sun is shining within 10 miles. So the townspeople picked up improvised tools and joined the ranks of building altars. Since there was no open location in the town, they chose a flat area of 1 acre (about 6 acres) outside the town as the site for the altar. In particular, families affected by the snow were particularly active, as if building an altar was more important than rebuilding their homes.

This made Dong Hezi a little unhappy, and even maliciously speculated: maybe they felt that the living conditions of the arsenal were better than their own earthen houses, so they deliberately delayed time and did not rebuild their own houses.

However, complaining is complaining, in the past few days, he still took a serious look at the relevant historical materials of the water elemental god. Because on the day of the inauguration of the altar and statue, there is also a ritual to ask for the blessing of the god of the water element. This can make Dong Hezi very troubled, he hasn't even prayed once, how can he ask the god of the water element to bless these townspeople?

Besides, the god of the water element is notoriously disliked for ignoring believers, and has been in the main physical plane for tens of thousands of years, and there are only some very loose church organizations. It was impossible to expect her to respond to the believers at this ceremony, and when the time came, she secretly cast a few spells to bless the townspeople, so that they would think it was a blessing from the god of the water element, and forget it.

But the things on the face should be a little bit like that, for example, there should always be a set of prayers. But when I searched the information myself, I really couldn't find a formal prayer other than a simple doctrine!

Alas - I have to make up my own again, it's difficult!

Two weeks later, our Grimm "Mage" finally returned from Lirux City with a tired and alcoholic face. By this time, the altar had begun to take shape.

It is a two-story circular altar that is only one story tall but covers an area of 1 acre. The lower floor is a circular foundation, and the upper floor is a large pool of water one person deep, with a 30-foot (about 10 m) wide protruding platform in the middle for the statues.

Dong Hezi often came down from the mountain to inspect the progress, and by the way, he used spells such as "stone plasticization" to turn the altar made by the townspeople into a single stone building. On this day, while he was casting a spell, Grimm came over from the small castle.

"Dear Great Druid, good day. I haven't seen you these days, I miss you so much. Grimm waited for him to finish the spell, and saluted and greeted him very politely.

Dong Hezi smiled secretly in his heart, this kid had never seen him so polite. He must have been reprimanded by his uncle, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore. Well, he also felt that his position in his uncle's heart was not guaranteed, so he was so polite to me in order to win me over to consolidate his position. Whatever, since you respect me for three points, then I will respect you for three points.

So he said with a smile: "I've been out for so long this time, it seems that I bought some magic test materials with good materials." ”

"yes. Grimm hurriedly said, "I have picked a lot of high-quality materials this time, and I believe that my magic experiment will be smoother." ”

Dong Hezi smiled secretly in his heart, this kid was afraid that others would know about his spending a lot of time. But when he looked at his pale and miserable face and godless dark circles, the fool understood what he was doing these days. However, he still said politely: "Then congratulations on you learning the third-order arcane as soon as possible, and when you get the official mage qualification, you must invite us to Lilux City to play for a few days." ”

Grimm laughed dryly, "Definitely, definitely." Then he mysteriously leaned into Dong Hezi's ear and said, "Master, I'm in a little trouble." ”

Dong Hezi secretly said in his heart, you kid also know that this time there was a disaster? There was a snow disaster in the town, but you have been there for three weeks, and you haven't even seen a single figure. Your image in the old baron's mind was not good, and now it has plummeted! Fortunately, you understood it sooner, and perhaps you could remedy it.

But I heard Grimm whisper: "When I was in Lilux City, I found a few beautiful girls to play, but the 'Imperial Maiden' suddenly became bad, and it leaked out every time. ”

Dong Hezi was stunned for a moment. When has it been, still thinking about women! I really can't help him.

But he had to say, "Did you drink a lot of wine before running errands?"

Grimm nodded: "I did drink a lot, and you know that playing with these women, you naturally have to find some wine to cheer up." ”

Dong Hezi said sternly: "The 'Imperial Maiden's Technique' I taught you mainly seems to be a method of indulgence on the surface, but in fact, the core is a 'thrifty'. It prevents unnecessary wear and tear, invigorates the blood, refreshes the mind, and prolongs life. Therefore, the emphasis is on taking advantage of the trend, and we must not force ourselves to be strong and fight for the sake of indulgence. Moreover, this technique is the most taboo for overeating, especially after drinking. If there is both, then it is naturally uncontrollable. ”

"But you said that when you practice to the highest level, you can even control dozens of women. "Grimm was a little anxious.

Dong Hezi asked rhetorically, "Then have you practiced to the highest level?"

Grimm hurriedly begged: "Then you can tell me a little more, so that I can practice to the highest level as soon as possible." When I become a High Master, I will definitely repay you for your kindness. ”

Dong Hezi sighed secretly in his heart, what a hairy boy! He didn't have any status but only thought about such things. I had to tell him: "When you have practiced the part I taught, I will teach you more." Otherwise, if you teach rashly, not only will it not be beneficial, but you will not be able to achieve it quickly. ”

Grimm reluctantly left.

The so-called extreme of things must be opposed, so all qiē Taoist techniques regard "pursuing the extreme" as a taboo. But these are things that Grimm cannot understand, and perhaps the ultimate strength, the ultimate glory, and the ultimate happiness are his deepest expectations.

Two weeks later, the altar and the colossal statue were inaugurated.

"This is the statue you created with a spell?" Bob Firth pointed to the huge three-story statue in disbelief, and said with a slight dissatisfaction, "I heard that the water elemental god is a very beautiful lady, why do you just make a big stone to fool us?"

Indeed, this mammoth-sized colossus was only slightly humanoid, and only had an upper body. It has a short body, stubby arms, and worse, it has no facial features on the protrusion that can barely be called a "head"! And the surface of the body has nothing but the appearance of some flowing water and water droplets! The pair of arms, to put it bluntly, are just two stubby curved pillars, not even palms and fingers. This can also be called a "lady"? Even a fat aunt with a strict figure is more tangible than it!

"Who said I got a stone at random?" said Dong Hezi "confidently", "Don't you see the bracelet on her wrist?"

The front end of the pair of "pillars" does have a huge "bracelet", and it is very carefully shaped, with beautiful patterns, evenly set several precious stones, and smooth textures of metal. But how does that thick look like a pair of big handcuffs?

This is also to blame for the fact that there is too little information about the water elemental god, and there is no specific description of her other than knowing that she often appears as a goddess. The lazy Dong Hezi simply referred to a game called "World of Warcraft" on the earth, copied the water element in it, and even copied the bracelet exactly.

"This—" Bob Feth was completely speechless, "it's not beautiful at all, and if this kind of statue is worshipped as a god, will it be a blasphemy?"

Dong Hezi frowned, it seems that the gods in this world still have a very profound influence on people. Bob Firth had been learning Taoism with him for a while, and it stands to reason that these consciousnesses should be diluted. But it seems that he still retains too much awe, which is very detrimental to a true practitioner. In the future, I will find an opportunity to make it clear to this kid that if he is still obsessed with ghosts and gods, then he will not be accepted as a registered disciple.

So his tone became stern: "Bob Feather, I have said it many times, and the key to devotion to the gods is whether it can be measured by material prosperity. The shape of this statue is not about whether it is ornate or not, but whether it is integrated into the understanding of the gods. Mortals speculate about the appearance of the gods according to their own standards, and the gods are in love with people, and occasionally appear in humanoid guises. But this is not the true face of the gods, just an expedient measure for communication. ”

"And when I made this statue, I completely removed the speculation of the world, and directly shaped it according to the doctrine of the god of the water element! You can see that its mist-like lower body indicates that the god is a representative of water, and its thick body represents the inclusiveness of water, and the faceless head is even more suggestive of the invisible nature of water! What I have created is the original appearance of the goddess Eliqia, not the beautiful shape that some people have imagined! This is the true respect for the gods!"

These pretended profound words really calmed the little boy Bob Faith, and he was stunned for a moment, but he actually thought about it seriously.

Three days later, under a clear sky, the ritual officially began.

More than 500 people from the town gathered under the great altar. They were all dressed in tatters, with chapped hands and feet, and their faces were yellow, but the men, women, and children looked excited. Because this ceremony was presided over by Master Dong Hezi himself, he prayed that Goddess Elikia would send blessings to them and accept them as followers of the water elemental god.

The world is painful, but the thought of the soul after death will fly into the eternal kingdom of God seems to be insignificant, and even the exhaustion after days of toil becomes a kind of glory. They looked up respectfully at the huge statue, but their eyes were full of pride. They occasionally whispered and waited for the ritual to begin.

Dong Hezi on the altar shook his head secretly, there are too few, there are too few people. More than 500 people, which may sound like a lot, but when you swing under the altar, there is only a sparse piece, and there is more than any small town on the earth. In this world, a town with a few hundred people is already relatively large, and a few thousand people can be regarded as a "city", and a town with more than 10,000 people can also be mixed with the hat of a "big city". Compared with the earth, the difference is a thousand times!

Looking at these old and young people with hungry and cold faces, I really feel shabby. The human civilization in this world has been developing for tens of thousands of years, and there is also the support of those strange magic, why is it still so poor?

Dong Hezi eliminated distracting thoughts, waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then began to chant.

A soft, clear chant echoed through the crowd, not loud, but it was clear to everyone, no matter how far or near. Although they didn't understand every word, the sound seemed to have a magical power, and everyone couldn't help but feel peaceful, and this thought completely enveloped the body and mind like a tide, and even the most naughty children quieted down and immersed themselves in the sound. All of a sudden, it was as if everyone was enjoying a piece of music.

Dong Hezi is the Chinese version of "Taiyi Shengshui Changsheng Sutra". Of all the texts he studied, it was the only one that most closely resembled the teachings of the water elemental god. This sutra uses water as a metaphor to explain the Tao, although it is not a profound thing, but it is also just right to use it at this time. You have to take some responsibility for acting.

In order to create a better atmosphere, put an end to the discussion of the earthlings when they hold a conference. When chanting the scriptures, he secretly used Xuangong to make the voice clear to everyone. At the same time, he also used a bit of Taoism in the "Secret Demon Treasure Record", so that this voice has a bit of charm power, making people calm and focused, making the whole ceremony look solemn.

Seeing that the people below were quiet, and their faces were full of pious looks, Dong Hezi put his mind at ease and continued to chant the scriptures.

Well, to be honest, since I came to this world, I have been thinking about the Immortal Body Dao Technique, and I haven't reviewed many classics. At this time, it is interesting to sing this "Taiyi Shengshui Changsheng Sutra" again. Reading and reading, the mind was slowly immersed in the artistic conception of the Taoist Sutra, and gradually entered a shallow level of concentration.

In this fixed state, I experienced the enlightenment of the avenue like water, and I slowly had a sense of mist, as if the five organs and souls had entered a pure and boundless sea, and there was a sense of cleansing and dust between the moist and moist.

There are often various "visions" that are true or false in the fixed state, but whether they are true or false, they should not be attached. Many great cultivators even ignore these things. It's just that this time it's not a practice, but to pass the time, so Dong Hezi casually sank his mind into the pure sea of consciousness and felt the happiness of various tissues in his body.

Unconsciously, I suddenly felt that a force of water appeared out of thin air with the germination of various tissues in the body, and it lingered around the body.

"Hmph, it's the same as the real thing. Dong Hezi's thought flashed, and he often encountered similar illusions when he practiced in the past. Once you believe it to be true, you will not move forward in your cultivation at least, and at worst you will go astray!

As soon as the thought flashed through him, he heard a strong noise—a commotion that woke him out of his steady.

Just feeling a little annoyed, I suddenly saw people under the altar, young and old, kneeling on the ground and worshiping! A few bold people pointed at the altar.

Dong Hezi looked back, a large cloud of dense mist shrouded the large pool of water formed by the altar, and the huge statue of the water element shrouded in mist seemed to have become a living thing!
