Magic Item Master

Chapter 115 Persuasion
In fact, the reason why the gods agreed with Zhang Sen as the God of Wisdom, apart from hoping to keep Zhang Sen, is that the God of Wisdom is not a priesthood with a great effect.

This is just an idle job, and there will not be many believers at all, so they are not worried at all that Zhang Sen will compete with them for believers.

But now the result has surprised all the gods, Zhang Sen has developed so many believers without saying a word.

All the gods rushed to Indra's palace almost at the same time. After entering the palace, they wanted to ask Zhang Sen for an explanation. Zhang Sen's wanton development of believers was essentially robbing their believers. The power of faith they could get every day was already gone. Significantly reduced.

"Everyone, I know why you are here this time, but I hope you can calm down and sit down and listen to me." Seeing that the situation was not at its worst, Zhang Sen said with a smile.

If the gods came up and shouted to kill, he would really hesitate to help them.

But now, although the gods are filled with righteous indignation and seem very dissatisfied, they have not yet reached the point of doing something, obviously they still care about friendship and do not want to tear their faces.

Indra said at this time: "Everyone may wish to listen to the thoughts of Fellow Daoist Zhang Sen. Fellow Daoist Zhang Sen is the god of wisdom. Do you think your wisdom can surpass that of Fellow Daoist Zhang Sen?"

"That's good, but the ugly words are up front. If you can't convince us, Fellow Daoist Zhang Sen, you must return the believers to us!" Vayou said bluntly.

Zhang Sen nodded and said, "Okay, everyone sit down!"

The gods sat down on the futons in the palace one after another, looking at Zhang Sen, waiting for Zhang Sen's explanation.

"Everyone, what do you think believers are?" Zhang Sen glanced at the gods and asked with a smile.

Vayuqian replied: "A believer is a believer, so what kind of demons and ghosts are there?"

"Sun God, what do you think?" Zhang Sen smiled faintly, looked at Surya and asked.

Surya has always been steady, he pondered for a moment and replied: "Believers are the objects of protection of our gods."

"Hehe, what does Luna think?" Zhang Sen looked at Su Mo again and asked again.

Su Mo rubbed his chin and said with an idea: "The believers are our friends?"

"Hehehehe, you all misunderstood, you should all be curious about how I developed so many believers, right?" Zhang Sen let out a long laugh, and then said slowly.

Vayu replied again: "I know, it's because you have unimaginable wisdom, Fellow Daoist Zhang Sen, and those people are all impressed by your wisdom."

"This is just one of the reasons. In fact, believers are our customers. There is a saying in my world called 'customers are God', which means that customers exist like Brahma, and we need to respect them." Zhang Sen smiled Said.

Vayu and the others suddenly showed doubts, how could a mere human being be comparable to Brahma!

Vishnu, on the other hand, seemed to have realized something, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"We gods need the power of faith, and the power of faith can make us stronger.

Where does the power of faith come from?

Of course it comes from the believers. If we don’t get the power of faith for a long time, we will become weaker and weaker, and we can’t even defeat ordinary Asuras. What about the believers without our help?
They are not necessarily incapable of survival, and may even be self-reliant.

So they are the buyer's market, but we are the seller's market, they are our customers, we need the believers, isn't that the truth? "Zhang Sen explained slowly.

Vayu was puzzled and said, "What does this have to do with the increase in the number of believers, Fellow Daoist Zhang Sen?"

"Because my products are good, look at the Vaisya merchants in the human world, do the cheap and good things sell out faster, while the expensive and bad ones take longer to sell If you go out, you might not even be able to sell it," Zhang Sen replied.

As the god of wind, Vayu naturally wanders around the human world frequently, he nodded and said, "That's true."

"Now everyone understands." Zhang Sen said with a smile.

Suliye nodded and said, "I understand, but fellow Daoist Zhang Sen, as the sun god, I can't satisfy all kinds of requirements like you all the time, so won't my followers become less and less?"

"Yes, our responsibilities are fixed, so what should we do?" Su Mo also asked.

Zhang Sen took out a piece of paper and distributed it to each god with a wave of his hand, saying: "This is my plan, the name is "Quality God Cultivation Plan", please take a look first."

All the gods looked down at the Sanskrit written on the paper one after another very seriously.

This plan is very simple, that is to focus on the role of each god in daily life, and try to guide everyone to become believers of all gods, so as to achieve the result of equal sharing of the power of faith.

After a while, Vishnu was puzzled and said: "Friend Zhang Sen, your plan is very good, but in this way, everyone can get the same power of faith, how to reflect the importance of each, and the priesthood is different, busy priesthood If you have to pay more, but get the same as everyone else, how can you reflect fairness?"

"This question is very good. The next step is the key point. In order to reflect fairness, from the first day to the seventh day of each year, we will perform tours in the lower realms, so that every god can get attention and get closer to the gods." The distance from the human world." Zhang Sen replied with a smile.

Why can Buddhism thrive?
The most fundamental reason is that it is very close to the masses. Sakyamuni walked in the human world to spread beliefs. He can see and touch it. Naturally, it is much better than the rare gods who don’t even know whether they exist or not.

Brahmins can indeed contact the gods, but that is only a small number of people, and it is actually difficult for most human beings to contact the gods, and may even be unable to determine the existence of the gods for a lifetime.

And what Zhang Sen has to do is to shorten the distance between each other, so that the world can truly feel the existence of the gods, so as to strengthen their faith.

Vishnu was puzzled and said, "How does this reflect fairness?"

"Every 12 years is a reincarnation, and in ten years everyone has the opportunity to perform at the finale, and the remaining two years are used to make up for the gods who have worked harder in the priesthood, so that they can get more opportunities to perform at the finale, and thus get more A lot of power of faith." Zhang Sen replied.

Vishnu suddenly realized, but still had doubts: "Is it really possible to do this?"

"Whether it is feasible or not can only be determined after trying, but if we don't make changes, when human beings can completely stand on their own, we will completely decline!" Zhang Sen said seriously.

The gods were startled, and immediately remembered most of the humans in "Fengshen Yanyi".

The human beings there don't seem to have any fixed beliefs, and they can rely on their own strength to accomplish everything.

If one day the humans in their world are the same, what will happen to these gods?
If humans don’t believe in God, is God still God?

The gods fell into deep thought one by one.

In the end, Vishnu was the first to agree to join Zhang Sen's plan, followed by Surya, Suma, and then other gods also responded one by one.

Zhang Sen sent off the gods with a smile, returned to his futon and sat down, looked at Indra and said, "God, don't you want to join our plan?"

"No interest, this kind of power that needs to rely on mortals to be strong, once it loses mortals, it will be like rootless duckweed.

I still prefer to believe in the power I have cultivated. If possible, I even want to transfer the title of God of Thunder to other gods and concentrate on practicing my "Thunder Body Tempering Magic Art". "Indra still closed his eyes and said lightly.

Ok.

This Indra has been completely misled.

Zhang Sen smiled helplessly, then closed his eyes and began to respond to the prayers of the priests in the human world. His belief spread very quickly, and it was already rumored that the Rice Dynasty had entered the hostile Dashui Dynasty.

He passed down the technology of windmill mill, plow technology, knowledge of photosynthesis and technology of making liquor to the priests.

All of a sudden, the technology tree in the human world climbed up again, and because of the popularity of the windmill mill, Vayu found that his power of faith had increased a lot, and the knowledge of photosynthesis was used to plant it, which also increased the power of faith for Surya. Liquor made Su Mo discover that the priesthood of Dionysus is not impossible to increase faith.

The news quickly spread to the palace of the gods through the big mouth, and the gods paid more attention to Zhang Sen's plan.

Zhang Sen has a large number of followers, and he began to consciously pass on some civilized knowledge, such as the invention of chopsticks, which made ordinary people no longer use their hands to grab food, and the discovery of toilet paper, which allowed people to go to the toilet in a more civilized way.

Under his instruction, the gods began to appear in the human world.

When people prayed for help from the gods, the gods would appear occasionally, and many people's beliefs became firm.

There is a huge difference in the power of faith between those with strong beliefs and those with weak beliefs. Zhang Sen has proved this through experiments, so the world of Indian mythology actually has great potential to be tapped.

In fact, although Zhang Sen himself attaches great importance to the power of faith, he has not yet reached the point where he would die without the power of faith.

As Indra said, this kind of power is like rootless duckweed once it loses the belief of mortals, and he is not an aboriginal of this world after all, this kind of power is too unstable for him.

The reason why he does so many things is that on the one hand, he really has the idea of ​​accumulating the power of faith, and on the other hand, he is giving back to the goodwill of the gods, hoping that they will not decline like Indian myths and be completely replaced by Buddhism.

In fact, he obtained the power of faith, and now he seldom uses it to think about things in the human world, and most of it is spent on revising "Thunder Emperor's Body Tempering Divine Art".

After all, this exercise was created by Indra according to his own situation. Although he can also practice it, it is not the most suitable exercise.

So he had to modify the details to make the exercises more suitable for him.

This takes a lot of brain cells and energy.

Without the priesthood of the God of Wisdom, he would have no way to modify the exercises, but now he can do this, but it takes a lot of power of faith and divine power of wisdom.
