Goddess Wanhua Mirror

So Lu De learned from the pain and continued to move to the border area of ​​the kingdom far away from Emperor Shangao. At the same time, he carefully read the research notes of the old astrologer, and gradually had a plan in his mind.

Lu De felt that with his current living conditions, if he continued to be an exile hiding in Tibet, he might not last long.Although it is a way to seek refuge with the nobles, there are also risks. The most important thing is that he looks like a beggar now. Even if he takes the initiative to seek refuge, the nobles may not be willing to take him in.So Lude planned to use the gift left to him by the old astrologer to go to the border area to "start his own business".

Although Luther was a staunch atheist in his previous life, he himself has no ill feeling towards those normal religions.As long as you obey the law, be kind to others, and believe in anything, it is a harmless personal freedom.

So Luther intends to inherit the mantle left to him by the old astrologer and establish a new religion.Firstly, to improve my current poor living conditions and build a place to settle down. Secondly, under the guise of religious belief, I will turn a corner and spread some advanced knowledge to the hardworking people in other worlds. up.

Lude, who continued in exile, traveled to many places, secretly inspected the branch churches in some places, and learned from their operating methods. Finally, he heard that in a place called Pine Tree Village, there was a dilapidated temple that no one wanted. Although the settlement is next to the Earl of Lumley, because it is a newly developed land, it is theoretically a land directly under the royal family. The local area has not been entrusted to any nobles yet, so it is an ideal "novice village".

In this way, Lu De came to Songshu Village admiringly, and used an "artifact" in his luggage to change his appearance into a kind-hearted old man with a white beard. He successfully won the trust of the villagers and settled down in the local area.

Speaking of this artifact, when Lude first checked his luggage, he didn't know how to use it. He just felt that the stone mask looked a little weird, giving him the illusion that he could no longer be a human being once he put it on.Later, I found out that this thing is called "Hume's Smile", which is an out-and-out artifact.

The so-called "artifact", as the name suggests, is a treasure created by the gods. Because of the use of magic, it has incredible abilities.Hume's smile is a disguise artifact made by Hume, the God of Thieves. As long as it is worn on the face, the mask can become anyone according to the appearance in the user's mind, with no loopholes from head to toe.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why the old astrologer fell into the hands of the Knights of Light has a lot to do with him accidentally forgetting to take this artifact.

The old man originally wanted to attract the pursuers first, and let the young apprentice take the research materials (and the fire of the source) to a safe place, and then use Hume's smile to change his disguise, throw off the pursuers and go to talk to little Lude. confluence.As a result, before parting ways with Lude, the old man accidentally picked up the hard leather pouch that held the mask, and ran to deliver the head with a few pairs of large underpants.

In the first two months after arriving in Pine Tree Village, Lu De tried to keep a low profile. He was not in a hurry to preach to the local villagers. Instead, he devoted his energy and time to repairing the dilapidated temple, and at the same time, he tried his best to establish a good relationship with the local villagers. , understand their living conditions and customs.

Lude has no way of knowing the exact date of construction of this nameless temple in the village, but basically it can be concluded that it should have been destroyed in the famous "Battle of the Gods" 300 years ago.This unparalleled war eventually led to the fall of hundreds of gods, and the population of various races in the mortal world dropped by nearly two-thirds, and it has not fully recovered until today, 300 years later.

At the location of the Nameless Temple, there should have been a town with a large population 300 years ago. The Battle of the Gods destroyed this place, and the survivors fled south one after another. The ruins of the city were then covered by the ever-expanding virgin forest.Only the temple, blessed with a trace of remaining divine power, barely survived the erosion of time and nature, and finally waited for human beings to set foot here again.

Lude regards this place as "the place where the dream begins" and has spent a lot of thought on repairing and remodeling.During this period, he also discovered that there was a universe behind the temple. In one of the seemingly inconspicuous empty rooms, there was a hidden door leading to an underground cave. It was so dark that he didn't know where it led.

Lu De was not in a hurry to explore the unknown underground space, but used a cabinet to block the secret door first.Afterwards, it proved that his caution was completely correct, because there seemed to be something else in the tunnel. One night when he was sorting things in this room, the cabinet behind him suddenly moved without warning, which startled Lude. Quickly find some heavy objects for reinforcement.

As for the villagers on the other side, after Lu De settled down, he gradually became acquainted with everyone, and the missionary work was gradually carried out imperceptibly.

Thanks to being an undercover policeman in his previous life, and fighting wits and courage with cult members and MLM leaders, Lu De can be said to be well-informed in this regard. Now he has changed his career to become a big fool, and he is higher than ordinary liars. .Simply relying on the eloquence of the tongue, without performing any magic spells in public, let these villagers believe in their identity as priests!

However, in terms of preaching, Luther is indeed more pure than most missionaries in this world.After all, he really has no intention of harming others, unlike those religious gods who only talk about "in the name of God" and use deception or even threats to induce civilians to believe in their own gods. The real purpose is to hollow out these believers wallet.

Relying on the wisdom and routines from another world, Lu De's initial activities in Pine Village were very successful.The residents in the village obviously didn't feel that he was actively preaching, but most of them had subtly accepted Lude and the sect he believed in first.Believe that in this world, there really exists a god of medicine who is in charge of "healing" and who loves the hardworking people in the world!

End of this chapter

By carefully reading the three research notes left by the old astrologer, Lu De summed up the three major elements for creating a new god. These three are concept, image and crucial belief.

The first step in creating a god is to establish a concept. In the native language of this world, this is called a "divine position".The existing gods have different positions in charge, and some of them have multiple roles, and the positions are related to the main source of belief for these gods.

The second step is to clarify the image of the gods, endow them with gender, appearance and personality characteristics, and get the approval of the majority of believers, so that the gods in the hearts of believers can be more clear and three-dimensional.

The third and most important step is to collect beliefs.

Old astrologers believe that faith is a kind of spiritual energy, which will be generated from the emotional fluctuations of mortals towards gods. In theory, whether respect, love, or fear, these emotions can produce faith, and through daily prayers and large religious Rituals can further improve efficiency.

When this kind of homologous spiritual energy gathers to a certain extent, a god may be born from it.The original fire is powerful. This thing is like a 5G signal base station. Within its scope of action, it can not only speed up the collection of beliefs, but also manually wake up the gods when the collected beliefs reach the minimum critical value.

The advantage of creating a god in this way is that it is efficient. The old astrologer created a new god from scratch with less than [-] disciples and six months. Premature babies still need further acquired training to gradually become stronger.

According to this theory, the initial birth of the gods should have originated from the imagination of the ancients out of reverence for nature. They felt that behind everything in the world, there may be one or many extraordinary beings who are managing the operation of the world. Therefore, calling these great beings gods and trying to communicate with them gave birth to the earliest religions and the first batch of gods.

But the irony is that mortals don't know that it is their delusions that create gods out of nothing.Lu De didn't know whether the gods themselves knew where they came from, but he reckoned that even if they knew, they would definitely not take the initiative to tell mortals, lest they be threatened by believers with "abandoning the pit".

certainly!As long as the total number of believers is enough, even if there are three or five thorny heads who like to make trouble for nothing and threaten to quit the religion, the gods will not care.

The above three points are the creation process summed up by the old astrologer through continuous experimentation and exploration, and the personal test has been successful.The old man even discovered that the new god created in this mode would have a special bond with the holder of the fire that awakened him, making it easier for him to control and intervene in the behavior of the new god.

On the other hand, Lu De is based on the foundation of the predecessors, integrating the earth cheating... technology to improve and perfect, thus further improving the efficiency.

First of all, in terms of concept, Lu De thought carefully, and finally named the first god he planned to create as the "God of Medicine"!

The current medical field in this world is still very backward, and it can even be said to be very primitive. This is mainly because this world has magic and divine arts. These two "supernatural fields" have skills related to healing.Especially the sacred healing and great resurrection skills in the divine art system, these two advanced skills are more powerful than the other. The former can survive as long as people are not dead, and the latter can survive in place even if they die. It just doesn't make sense.

But regardless of magic or divine art, these high-end treatment methods are difficult to popularize on a large scale, so naturally they have little to do with the majority of low-level civilians.Ordinary people can't easily come into contact with those high-ranking magicians and priests, so once they get sick, they can only choose to rely on their own immunity to fight hard, or seek help from those pharmacists or witches with uneven levels, and try to touch them with their lives. try your luck.

So in a sense, taking medicine is the only life-saving means for the poor at the bottom, and calling medicine a god is naturally the god of the poor!

In the process of subtly preaching, Lu De first established a trust relationship among the villagers, making them believe that he is really a priest, and then slowly let go of their guard. This is the first step common to all deceptions.

In order to ensure that he was a fake, Lu De lied to the villagers that he was undergoing a trial given by the goddess, and that he was not allowed to use magic for three years.The simple or simple-minded villagers did not doubt him, they only thought that the old priest was really very pious.

Later, Lu De successfully developed the first batch of a dozen or so believers in the village, and then felt that the time was almost ripe, so he picked a sunny and sunny day to gather all the believers together, intending to hold a "blessing ceremony".

He asked the believers who participated in the ceremony to take a bath. The reason was that the blessing ceremony must be solemn, and all the filth in the body and mind should be washed first. Only with sincerity can one obtain the blessing of the goddess.

According to Lu De's previous investigation, there are two main reasons why the villagers do not want to take a bath on weekdays. One is that they do not have the concept of maintaining personal hygiene, and the other is that the local conditions do not allow them to take a bath frequently.Most people do not have a bathroom, and there is no public bathhouse in the village, so if you want to take a bath, you can only go to the river near the village to take a wild bath.

However, the local climate is between the temperate zone and the sub-frigid zone, and only around summer is warm in a year, and the source of the river comes from the nearby snow-capped mountains, so the water in the river is really cool.Lude wanted to take a bath one day, but within 5 minutes of getting into the water, his cold feet cramped.

According to Lude's request, the first batch of a dozen or so believer villagers built a simple shower shed by the river, and then brought a large pot to boil hot water. Rubbing mud!

After all the believers have been washed, the average person has lost two catties, and each of them has red and steaming skin, just like freshly cooked prawns.

Then, under the leadership of Lu De, these believers danced the eighth set of radio gymnastics, which Lu De used as a "dance of blessing", by the river facing the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and stretched well. A body that is very stiff due to work on weekdays.

Taking advantage of the blood flow of this group of people, Lu De quickly put on a standard smile, and asked everyone if they felt that their bodies had become much lighter, and did they feel a warm feeling in their bodies?If so, then congratulations, you have successfully obtained the blessing from the goddess.In the future, as long as you persist in praying for blessings, you can continue this effect, making believers healthier and less likely to get sick.

Everyone experienced it, and it seemed that this was really the case, so in the atmosphere of collective blind obedience, they all sincerely praised the benevolent God of Medicine.

In Lude's eyes, at this time, the brows and brows of these villagers are constantly floating out a series of flickering spots, floating towards the direction of the temple...

End of this chapter

The result of this test made Lu De very satisfied. He used "blessing activities" to create a sense of ritual, and then used the physical comfort brought by hot baths and radio gymnastics to make believers mistakenly think that they had received the response of the goddess, which in turn made Faith output has been greatly increased in a short period of time.

This is the same as Zhao Xshan selling abductees. Real-time positive feedback will convince the participants, and you will be numb if you stomp on it!

However, the villagers seem to have been deceived, but in fact they have lost nothing.Lu De did not make money, and he did not kill. On the contrary, he improved the poor hygiene habits of the villagers and tried to improve their physical fitness. Therefore, Lu De is very proud that he has achieved a win-win situation.

As more and more villagers began to believe in the God of Medicine, Lu De collected more and more belief energy, and a group of "colorful auspicious clouds" that only he could see gradually formed in the main hall of the temple.

Whenever he looks at this invisible and magical thing, he can't help but feel a desire to reach out and touch it, but when he thinks that he hasn't finished the pre-work, he can only restrain himself first. this hand.

Another important condition for creating a god is to establish an image.It is far from enough to rely on empty words to describe this point. Therefore, portraits and statues are needed to help strengthen the impression in the hearts of believers and let them know what kind of appearance the gods they believe in are like.

As for how to make the image of the god enough to impress the believers, and to be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Lu De believes that the goddess must be more affinity than the male god, so the medicine god he created is not only a goddess, but also must be young and beautiful in appearance, otherwise it will be Sorry for the word "goddess".

Here I have to mention the astrologer again. His old man is simply a living negative example.

In little Lude's life memory, this old man is not only a erudite and talented master of miscellaneous studies, but also a book painter with unique taste, a salty old man who likes to hunt strange things with strong flavors.

This is quite reflected in his research notes. Obviously, he was still studying the movement of celestial bodies in a serious manner, but the next page of "duang" will show you a heavy-duty color map-a pair of eagles with long ponytails without clothes The orc loli caught Luther off guard so that he felt like he was going to go blind!

It was his bad habit that indirectly caused his underground church to be regarded as a cult.He made an extremely curious appearance for the god he created, with many slimy and twisted tentacles and 28 scorpions growing in layers on the lower abdomen, just like those indescribable foreign gods described by Lovecraft.

And what makes people feel speechless the most is that this unscrupulous old pervert always has a kind of "honey juice self-confidence" and never thinks that the problem lies with himself. If everyone doesn't like or agree with his (heavy) taste, it must be Because their tastes are too weird and not as "popular" as his.

It feels like you met a beast x lover named Beifeng. When you two understand each other's sexual fetishes, this guy first shows a very disgusted expression, and then uses a very embarrassing tone to you.

"Xiong Chai! You actually like human girls who have no hooves, no tails, and no hair. It's strange that you have a sexual fetish!"

It's almost the feeling of wanting to kill someone.

So in order not to repeat the same mistakes, the God of Medicine created by Lu De himself will definitely not deal with these bastards, but a very simple and unpretentious beautiful girl with big breasts.

Although Lu De was a glorious people's policeman in his previous life, he is also an older Two-dimensional otaku who has been single for the same length of time as his age.When he is not performing tasks, he mostly uses them to play games and watch anime.

In Lu De's own words, the main reason why he hasn't found a girlfriend at such an age is that he finds it troublesome, and he is afraid that something will happen to him during his mission, which will delay other girls.As for the task of carrying on the family line of the old Lu family, Lu De also has a twin brother, Lu Cai, who usually just raises a "paper man wife".

As a senior rubber man, Lu De not only buys figurines on weekdays, but also has strong hands-on ability. He has a set of professional tools, draws pictures and makes them by himself, and even sends out tutorial videos for making figurines. Therefore, those who hang out in the house circle can be regarded as a little famous.

But right now, Lude is in a different world after all, and he didn't bring the tools and materials for making figures, so everything has to be done from the beginning. The whole preparatory work alone took Lude two months. time.

He first drew a relatively crude sketch of the goddess on a wooden board with charcoal pencils.Because he is in a different world, no one will pursue copyright issues, so he directly refers to his wife Chuanjing in a certain mobile game, so that the goddess in his works has a huge "justice" and a special attack on the sexual obsession of "chongguoren". White-haired twin ponytails.Although the degree of reproduction of the sketch drawn purely by memory is not exactly the same, it does have an "internal flavor"!

But just having a portrait is not enough, Lude is going to make a statue that can be placed in the temple next.However, there is only one carpenter among the skilled workers in the village, and his craftsmanship is by no means outstanding. He can only do some simple household items, so Lu De can only rely on himself in this matter.

He first built an earthen kiln by himself in the backyard of the temple. He had seen this thing in his hometown in the countryside when he was a child, because his grandparents were old workers who did it, so Lude also understood it more or less. Some.The earthen kiln has been tested several times, and it can barely be used.

However, the first few attempts at pinching people, Lu De failed, because what he wanted to pinch was a life-sized clay statue, not a 16:1 miniature figure like a hand-made one. Fortunately, he overcame them one by one in the end.

After as many as eleven failures, Lu De finally made a satisfactory clay sculpture in No. 12 attempts.The beautiful goddess is sitting on a throne full of flowers, holding a medicine bottle in her hand, and looking down at the front with gentle and loving eyes.

After looking up and down at his own work, Lu De couldn't help showing a satisfied smile on his face, especially on the part of the goddess' chest. The clay he collected was not wasted in any sense.

"For God's sake, don't let it rain!"

Maybe it was Lude's prayer that helped. For the next week, the sun shone brightly in Pine Tree Village every day, and the clay sculpture dried quickly without any cracks on the surface.

Lu De was surprised to find that a part of the temple was automatically transferred to the clay sculpture, which seemed to be protecting the statue intentionally.

This discovery made Lu De very happy. As more and more beliefs gathered together, this group of colorful auspicious clouds gradually began to show some wisdom, indicating that the efforts these days have not been in vain, and the power of faith he collected has reached The minimum requirement for creating a god is met, and then as long as the statue is built and displayed to the believers in the temple, there is almost only the last step left.

Thinking that he, a person from Earth, traveled to a different world and really created a god from scratch by himself, he, a fake priest, couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, maybe he will soon become a real thing!

End of this chapter

It was a sunny day, and the village head of Pine Tree Village, Old Rom, was patrolling around the village on crutches as usual.When the old man was young, he had served as a pikeman in the king's army, but he was discharged from the army because of an arrow shot in his knee before he could make a name for himself, and he lived strong until he was 60 years old.

However, the reason why he was elected as the village head by the villagers of Songshu Village has nothing to do with his age and knowledge. It is simply because he has many sons and five strong laborers in his family. Naturally, he has more confidence in speaking and doing things in the village.

Because of being a soldier, the old Roma once followed Daliuer's belief in the "Heavenly Mad God of War Fei Golai" for a period of time, but just like most civilians who were forced to join the army because of life, this short period of time His belief only lasted until he was discharged from the army, so he didn't have any aversion or resistance to the new priest in the village and the goddess he believed in.

But old Roma is the village head of Pine Tree Village after all, and he has the responsibility to keep an eye on the new residents, even if they are priests.

Fortunately, after several months of observation, Old Rom generally thinks that the priest is a pretty good guy. Although he has never seen him use any magic skills, he seems to have good medical skills.

Once, Rom accidentally twisted his waist and couldn't sleep at night due to the pain. He was carried to the temple by his sons for help.The old priest showed him, but he didn't see any magic spells. He relied purely on a kind of unarmed healing technique called "massage", and his pain was relieved by just kneading.

After that, Old Roma became more friendly to the priest, because no matter whether the other party was a liar or not, at least this medical skill was very useful to their village.

As usual, old Rom walked around the village, and finally walked east towards the temple.He planned to chat with an old priest of similar age, and let him pinch his arrow-wounded old leg by the way.

Old Rom was walking slowly, when a group of talking and laughing villagers walked up behind him.The old man looked back and found that there were a lot of people. Except for those in the village who had started to believe in the God of Medicine, there were still many who didn't believe it. Now they were all walking to the temple together, and they seemed to be here to join in the fun.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Village Chief."

"Are you all going to the temple?"

"I heard that the goddess statue made by the priest himself is finally finished. The two sons of the carpenter said it is very beautiful, so we are going to take a look."

"Goddess?"

Hearing what the villagers said, Old Rom was slightly taken aback for a moment, but then he didn't take it seriously.As the most well-informed elder in the village (in his opinion), old Roma had visited the Supreme War Temple in the capital when he was a soldier, and the statue enshrined in it was so magnificent!The ten-meter-high colossus was carefully carved from a single block of marble by the hands of the master, and it was blessed with the magic of holy light. He still remembers the shock when he first saw it.

In comparison, Old Rom didn't mean to look down on Priest Lude, but he didn't think he could make something more powerful than this.

However, if he doesn't take it seriously, Old Rom still has a mentality that the people who eat melons like to watch the excitement, and he limped along with the villagers and walked towards the temple. From a distance, he saw the priest Lude standing at the gate, He was smiling and waving at them.

"Here we come, brother!"

"Ah, it's okay to be idle, come and have a seat."

Since Lude, who "doesn't pretend to be old", lied that he is 66 this year, and he is half a round older than the old Rom who has just turned [-]. Therefore, when he usually gets close to this old hoodie who has a lot of say in the village, Lude takes advantage of it without a trace. A wave of cheap.

After a few pleasantries, everyone was invited into the hall of the temple. Old Rom found that many men, women and children from the village came.In addition to those believers who have converted to the God of Medicine, there are also many melon-eaters like him who are purely here to join in the fun. A group of people suddenly filled a large room.

And on the minaret in the center of the hall, a one-person-sized statue of the God of Medicine has been placed on the originally empty stone pier, but the statue is covered with a piece of linen, mysteriously seducing people's curiosity .

At this time, Lude came in from the door. Seeing him coming in, those believers who had converted to the God of Medicine stood up to pay respects to the priest. Some especially pious old ladies were so excited that they touched Lude with their foreheads. the back of his hand to show his respect for the priest.

Like many salesmen selling health care products on the other side of the earth, during the process of preaching, Lu De's "main targets" have always been the middle-aged and elderly people in the village.Because these villagers generally have many chronic illnesses, poor living habits and years of field work, lumbar muscle strain is a common phenomenon.

And Lu De just learned massage and cupping from his mother. In the current environment with poor conditions, these traditional Chinese medicine methods can just come in handy, and almost immediately improved their physical condition, a small number of widowed old ladies.Some "unreasonable ideas" were even kneaded by Lude's strong and powerful (compared to the elderly) big hands.

And as long as Lu De can handle these old people, it won't be long before they will spontaneously persuade the younger generation of their family members to follow along with the letter.This kind of deja vu situation is almost the same as that on the other side of the earth, so Lude didn't know what to say for a while.

It is worth mentioning that Lu De's knowledge of herbal medicine is all sorted out from the old astrologer's miscellaneous notes, because the animals and plants here are not the same as those on the earth, and there are quite a few differences.

The reason why this old man became interested in herbal medicine seems to be that after he passed middle age, he was a little unable to go shopping, and he was too embarrassed to ask priests or magicians for help, so he wanted to prepare some "strong and strong" tiger-wolf medicine by himself. Medicine, so he has also researched some tricks in this area. In a secret room in his home, he has specially collected one hundred and eighty sticks of wine.

Standing on the minaret, Lu De roughly estimated that there were nearly 300 people in the village, filling the temple hall of more than 200 square meters to the brim.

Although he failed to attract everyone in the village in the end, this result is enough to satisfy him now.So Lu De clapped his hands, first quieted down the originally noisy hall like a vegetable market, and then spoke loudly to everyone.

"Everyone! Dear men and women of Songshu Village! Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to visit the temple. I am here to thank you."

Lu De bowed deeply to all the people present. The villagers did not expect that they would be so solemnly thanked by the priest for just coming to watch the excitement. A flattered little chuckle.

You must know that in those big towns with walls, those powerful sects generally hold a certain amount of real power, and the status of priests is completely comparable to that of nobles. The monks and nuns in the country will also be higher than the common people.

Lude also knows about these situations, but he wants to buy people's hearts and maintain his character as a "ascetic priest who is undergoing the test of the goddess", so this kind of condescension is necessary.Bending down and bowing can collect a wave of faith, and this wave of business is a steady profit for him.
