I have a magical tree

He was a little worried, but hesitated to speak, wanting to persuade the old man not to believe in so-called ghosts and gods. To believe in these things, it is better to believe in his own reliability.

However, when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to speak. He could feel that Granny Wu attached great importance to the statue. If he forcibly blocked it, would it cause the old man to lose his last breath?

Granny Wu seemed to notice Liang Zuo's worries, "Don't worry, sir, I'm not crazy yet, and I won't believe in ghosts and gods at will. This god does exist, and it has already helped me in Keling Village once!"

When Liang Zuo heard this, his heart became even colder. This strange existence actually responded?

"Grandma, don't be deceived by him, and don't follow his so-called guidance, otherwise Keling Village will be in disaster! If this thing really works, how can Keling Village suffer such a disaster?"

The best way to deal with things like evil gods and ghosts is not to touch them at all, and don't believe anything. Having a statue of him like Granny Wu is even more taboo among taboos.

"Grandma, let me handle this matter, and don't mess with it again in the future! Now that we have arrived in the county, we have our own magic circle to protect the county, so there is no need for such domestic false gods!"

Liang Zuo was about to reach out and take it. He only regarded it as the family god of Keling Village. After all, the people of Keling Village had indeed always lived under the protection of that family god. Leaving him at this time might make him feel uneasy. It is understandable that the statue should be remembered.

But as he said, this thing is no longer needed. There is a magic circle guarding the county. Although it is not as good as the protective magic circle in the city, if the Inspection Department and the Demon Suppression Department are also guarded day and night, the safety of the city will still be What can be roughly guaranteed is much safer than in villages and towns.

But Granny Wu stopped it with one hand and shook her head, "Anything else is fine, but I really can't give you this thing!"

Liang Zuo was a little anxious, "Others can't understand, don't you understand? The talk of ghosts and gods is just to comfort people's hearts. We are born to rely on ourselves after all. When we are in villages and towns, we are forced to serve family gods. , why are you still thinking about it now?”

Serving the family gods is not just about offering incense and kowtow. It requires sacrifices, and the sacrifices are not the so-called three animals, but human beings! And it must be alive!

Otherwise, it would not be called the most primitive and bloody method of sacrifice.

Keling Village is relatively good in this regard. All old people who are about to die sacrifice themselves, and there is never any forced action. However, Liang Zuo knows that in Heishan Prefecture and other villages and towns, on the day of each sacrifice, , there are unbearable things happening, and they are forbidden repeatedly.

Because people are all greedy for life, and there are indeed too few outliers like Keling Village.

Granny Wu shook her head, "This is not the family god of my Keling Village. Don't worry, he is not actually a god. It's just because he has great kindness to our Keling Village, so he is no different from a god to us." !”

Liang Zuo was stunned, "Really?"

Then, he suddenly thought, Yu Keling Village has great kindness? Could it be that you are referring to yourself? But what he did was really just his duty as an official, and he didn't save the young men in Keling Village after all! What qualifications does he have to accept statues and offerings?

For a real official, having his achievements recorded in statues by the common people is a reward comparable to leaving his name in the history books. This kind of official is someone who has done a lot for the local people and is sincerely supported by the local people.

Although Liang Zuo thought he had a clear conscience, he had nothing worth boasting about.

"Grandma, I told you that doing these things is all my responsibility as an official. I really can't bear this kind of worship." Liang Zuo was a little stunned. He felt that he was unworthy from the bottom of his heart.

Perhaps, he will be qualified only after he has thoroughly read the Great Imperial Edict of Taizu!

Granny Wu was stunned when she heard this and remained silent for a long time. "Actually, it is also possible to worship the statue of your Excellency..."

Liang Zuo: "..."

It’s not me who co-authored it!

Liang Zuo smiled awkwardly and turned to look at an official who happened to be approaching, "What did you say? I'll be there right away!"

The official looked confused, but was quickly pulled away by Liang Zuo.

Grandma Wu couldn't help but smile when she saw this. This person was indeed very interesting. She had also seen Liang Zuo reading the Great Patriot of Taizu every day, even if he had a moment of free time on the road. It's like there is a treasure mountain hidden in Taizu's imperial edict.

It is said that with this person's realm and ability, he can even memorize a copy of Taizu's imperial edict, let alone read it. I don’t know what I’ll gain from watching it every day!

Even she could memorize the content of Taizu's imperial edict, but the more clearly she memorized it, the more cruel the reality became.

In fact, remembering some things too firmly and remembering them too clearly is not a good thing!

Granny Wu sighed, carefully wrapped the half-finished statue in cloth and put it in her arms.

They say the future is unpredictable, but Granny Wu knows that her future can actually be seen at a glance. The only thing left unfinished in this life is probably this statue!

"Shanfang, come here!" The little girl not far away from the old lady waved.

This little girl is probably the most obedient and sensible child in the village. She carries a small bundle on her body and helps her mother push the cart from time to time. Although the little strength she had on her body didn't have much effect at all, every time she exerted force, her face turned red, which made people look very pitiful.

After walking for a whole day, she didn't complain as much as the other children. Now the other children have gone to bed, but she still walks on her own.

She knew that if she got on the car, her mother would have to use more strength, and her mother was already pushing the car to her limit.

"Go! You have helped me a lot today. It's not far now. My mother can do it alone!" The lady beside Shanfang touched her head and signaled her to go to the ancestor.

Shanfang nodded and came to Granny Wu's car. Granny Wu stretched out her hand to pull her into the car, and rubbed her legs with some heartache. This girl is smart and stupid. Her slender legs and feet are already a little swollen, but she didn't say a word.

"Grandma, I'm fine, I can still walk by myself!" Shanfang laughed.

"I know you want to help your mother, so I didn't call you, but now it's almost time, you don't have to go anymore, just stay here! Talk to the old ancestor!"

"Okay!" Shanfang breathed a sigh of relief. She felt okay when she was walking. When the pain reached a certain level, it would become numb, but when she really rested, the accumulated fatigue and pain would burst out in an instant.

"Does it hurt?"

"No!" Shanfang gritted her teeth and shook her head.

"Okay, you can't cry out in pain casually. Among the children in Keling Village, you are the most courageous girl." Grandma Wu laughed with a kind of happiness and joy.
