Immortality is above

Chapter 150 149: You can’t bear my gift

"Are you guilty?"

The majestic shout rang in his ears, and the old farmer was so shaken that he lay prone on the ground and said tremblingly: "Please forgive me, the land master... I will definitely try my best to let the whole village." Take out the best things, prepare a new tribute, and sacrifice it to the master. "

He did not ask what crime he had committed. He neither dared nor needed to. At this time, just admit your guilt.

It's just that my heart is bleeding.

The whole village had to suffer a lot from having to pay tribute again. The cold winter that they finally got through turned out to be even more difficult to get through in the spring.

The days to come will be even more difficult.

But there is no other way. Solving the immediate crisis first is the most important thing.

"hey-hey!"

The land master's laughter was very scary, but he could tell that he was probably satisfied.

Over time, a certain traditional custom was formed. As the saying goes: "When you pass the temple, you worship";
Yiyun: "If you worship many gods, you will be blessed by them!"

The third uncle was muttering in his heart and feeling uneasy, but when things had developed to this point, he was no longer able to interfere.

"it is good."

The land master said: "Go and call him in. I have something to say."

When you kneel a lot, your knees will naturally become weak. If you suddenly see someone who refuses to kneel down, you will not only be surprised, but also feel scared.

However, for many people, they don’t mind coming to pay homage for peace of mind and good luck.

The third uncle was so confused that he didn't dare to disobey his orders. He ran out immediately and looked at Chen Liubai with a different look in his eyes. He was still confused in his heart. He didn't know his identity and why he refused to deal with the land master. Could he have done anything blasphemous? thing? That’s really troublesome. If you’re not careful, you’ll bring trouble to the village:

At this time, the third uncle was really panicked: "Then, what should we do?"

The third uncle was stunned and did not react in time. He originally thought that the other party was angry because he felt that the tribute was not of good enough quality, but he didn't expect that there was another matter, so he hurriedly said: "It's just a passing ranger."

Especially for the people at the bottom of the Immortal Dynasty, including the majority of casual cultivators. Their cultivation is shallow, and when they encounter problems, it is difficult to solve them independently, and they often need the help of ghosts and gods.

Chen Liubai agreed simply, as if he had expected it and was waiting.

Gradually, the concept became ingrained.

"Yes Yes."

The third uncle was secretly breathing a sigh of relief when he heard the land master shout:

"This young hero, please enter the temple with me."

The great prosperity of Shinto lies in the soil suitable for its development, rather than appearing out of thin air overnight.

"Let's not talk about the tribute for now... tell me, how many people did you bring into the village?"

"what!"

The land and mountain gods and various temples in towns and villages are actually built there, and ordinary passers-by will not take the initiative to worship if they have nothing to do.

"Ranger? Humph, you old man, do you know that you have caused a huge disaster and will bring disaster to the whole village?"

Returning to the temple, he quickly knelt down and worshiped on the ground again. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Chen Liubai standing there, tall and straight, with no intention of kneeling down at all.

Just like the look on the third uncle’s face now:

Originally, the Land Lord was just looking to raise an army to punish the guilty, but Chen Liubai would have been better off not to kneel down when entering the temple. Wouldn't this be adding fuel to the fire?
He quickly winked at Chen Liubai, but the other party was unmoved and still stood upright.

"Tsk, tsk, you kid, why don't you worship after entering this temple?"

The voice of the land master came down.

Chen Liubai looked directly at him: "I'm just a passerby, not a local villager."

The Lord of the Earth's voice suddenly became louder, with a certain sharpness: "What about passers-by? Now that you have entered this temple, you must bow your head and give gifts to show respect. Otherwise, it will be a crime of 'great disrespect'."

Chen Liubai raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure you really want me to salute?"

"Of course."

The tone of the land was very proud.

"Forget it, then I'll give you a gift."

Chen Liubai said.

Hearing this, the third uncle who was lying on the ground couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was really worried that this young man was so arrogant that he would not bow his head.

But if you don't bow your head, you will suffer big losses.

If you make the gods angry, you may not die, but a serious illness is inevitable.

When Chen Liubai made a move, he did not kneel down, but put his hands together. This is a "bowing" gesture.

The Daqian Immortal Dynasty had its own set of rituals, which were rich and well-organized. Different relationships and different etiquette were clearly distinguished.

Among them, "making a bow" is mostly between people of the same generation, and it means neither arrogant nor humble.

How could the landowner be satisfied with such a gift? He will definitely be furious.

The third uncle is worried.

The next moment, a crisp sound was heard, as if something was tearing apart.

He was startled and subconsciously raised his head. He still couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, but then he heard the earth god's horrified cry:

"what!"

The crackling, like fried beans, and the tearing sound were endless, and it clearly came from that gorgeous and sacred statue.

This statue was made from a carefully selected piece of good wood and was carved by a master. It then completed various procedures, including "consecrating", "pretending to be dirty", "inviting the gods", etc., and finally After the sacrifice, he has the charm of Dharma light.

But at this moment, spider web-like cracks appeared all over the statue!
The old man was stunned, his head was buzzing, he was dizzy, and he almost fainted.

Within the scope of Shinto laws, if a temple is the body of a god, then the statue of the god is his soul. If the statue of the god is destroyed, the temple will not be able to sustain it and will collapse soon.

So, what's going on right now?

The third uncle was shocked and couldn't understand.

This is the temple of Tu Tu Gong, his home court, and Chen Liubai has not been seen doing anything.

It's just a bow.

"You, who are you?"

The tone of the Earth God's voice was so sharp that it was deformed. He used to sound aloof and arrogant, but now he became angry and even filled with undisguised fear.

After the bow, Chen Liubai said with a half-smile, "After the ceremony, can we get down to business?"

"You? It turns out it's you..."

This land is not stupid, it finally reacted.

As a local ghost and god, he had heard about the arrival of the new edict and received the news. It's just that they have always been arrogant and don't take it seriously; besides, the gods divide the land and each has their own responsibilities and jurisdiction. According to the divine law, they are not allowed to leave the place without being recruited.

Therefore, the people in this village only knew Chen Liubai based on a "rumored" impression. With his way of doing things, he couldn't tell the depth. When he found Chen Liubai, he just felt suspicious and wanted to interrogate him, so he deliberately Let the third uncle bring people in.

Unexpectedly, he hit the iron plate directly.

In the Taoist court system, the instructor is the superior of the local ghosts and gods, and the superiors are asked to salute their subordinates.

Is this gift so pleasant?

Fortunately, Chen Liubai only bowed, not knelt down.

If you kneel down and worship, the statue will not appear cracked, but will fall apart and be scrapped.

Chen Liubai turned to the old man and said, "My father, please go out first and let everyone disperse. It's okay."

The third uncle is a weather-beaten man. Although he has lived his whole life and has hardly left the administrative area of ​​​​Gaohua City, he still has a certain look in his eyes. At this time, he also reacted, and he was excited and worried at the same time.

He immediately thought of the story in some market storybooks. There was a popular routine called "Your Majesty, the Imperial Envoy, makes a private visit to investigate the case." The final outcome always comes to light and the injustice is redressed.

However, when this routine is placed on the land of immortals and ghosts and gods, many variables will be added.

However, these things cannot be controlled by the old man, and worrying is useless, so he has to exit outside obediently.

Facing the curious faces of the villagers, he immediately made a waving gesture and led them away, retreating far away.

There are gods three feet above your head. If you criticize yourself rashly, you will cause trouble and trouble.

But now?

The situation becomes more complicated.

It is true that the young adult has magical powers, but his position is another matter.

After all, there are lessons to be learned. After so many years, there is nothing new.

For them, the ability of the other party does not actually matter. What matters is the attitude. If they do not stand on the side of the villagers, or if they are perfunctory and leave behind, the mess left behind will only make people worse. The whole village was even more miserable.

In this case, how could the third uncle not have doubts?
……

In the temple, in front of the cracked statue, Chen Liubai stood proudly and shouted: "Do you know the sin of this land?"
