Chapter 6 This is the true god

  Zhao Cheng waited until the crowd dispersed and went to sleep, then pulled Wang Da aside. Lowering his voice, he said: "Tell me about that spirit, what's going on? Is it a ghost trying to deceive us?"

  Wang Da showed a fierce expression, but here is the kindness of the people, and he himself has read books and seen much. He was admired by the villagers and respected. So he suppressed his anger and said: "That's a good god..."

  "What did you give them?" Li Zheng asked: "Don't forget, more than a decade ago, that god had killed people!"

  Wang Xiong indignantly said: "Father, bring out the things and let the village head see them, so as not to wrong a good person!"

  Wang Da was also provoked by others, and he couldn't care less about the old saying that "wealth should not be revealed". He brought Li Zheng back home, took out a tall wine cup from under the bed.

  "Hiss..."

  Here, the crystal cup is even more exquisite than the two people who have seen it. The body of the cup is crystal clear and transparent, not to mention its beautiful shape. The wall of the cup is as thin as a piece of paper. It's so beautiful that it's almost unbelievable that it was made by human hands.

  "This is priceless!" Li Zheng no longer doubted Liu Yi's good intentions. He just looked serious and said, "In my opinion, this can at least be exchanged for one million dollars. Are you planning to sell it? Aren't you looking for death..."

  The Wang family father and son only knew that the crystal cup was valuable, but they had never thought that it would be worth one million dollars. They were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped. In their entire lives, they had never seen ten thousand dollars put together before.

  On the second day, the villagers behind the mountain blew and beat their way towards the temple in the mountains.

  It's not too far away, it's just that the mountain road is a bit difficult to walk. Halfway up the mountain, there is a flat area with dense weeds and three tile-roofed houses, one of which has already collapsed.

  Everyone walked in and felt that the temple was gloomy. The god's statue had a green face with fangs, its expression was terrifying. If it weren't for yesterday's lifesaving grace, normally they would not have entered this temple even when passing by.

  Just as he was about to take a closer look, he saw that the statue, although terrifying, had a faintly glowing aura on top of it. It was white and pure, despite being tiny. He couldn't help but exclaim: "This is a true deity!"

  As soon as they heard this, the villagers put their minds at ease. Under the command of Li Zheng, everyone worked together to clean up the inside and outside of the temple, pulling out all the weeds. Then they started repairing the roof tiles.

  Nowadays, most villagers live in houses with thatched roofs. At that time, the monk Hu built a temple, which was funded by himself, not only was the earth compacted and solid, but even the roof tiles were of high-quality black tiles.

  After all, it's been a long time, and many tiles can't be used anymore. So just covered another layer of thatch on top.

  Many hands make light work. Before dusk, the entire temple was renovated. Inside and out, even with a coat of whitewash, it looked like new.

  But at this moment, a fragrance that cannot be described wafted over. Someone went in to take a look and was immediately stunned, with dozens of bowls of cooked instant noodles neatly arranged all over the floor.

  A kind of strange smell they had never smelled before made their stomachs rumble, and their mouths watered uncontrollably.

  "It's the spirit manifesting itself!" someone shouted.

  "This is the god looking at us helping him repair the temple, so he rewards us with food!"

  The villagers had originally heard many stories about the Wang family father and son, but they just treated them as jokes. They had never seen a god like this before, who would eat incense and candles for food. How could he possibly produce any extraordinary delicacies?

  But now that I've seen it, I feel grateful and reverent. One by one, they bowed their heads respectfully, lit incense, and then took a bowl to devour the food voraciously. They even licked the soup clean.

  One bowl per person, a total of fifty-three bowls. Only the last villager swallowed his saliva to take it, but it was empty.

  "Chen San is lazy at work. We are working hard while he runs to the shade of a tree on one side and takes a nap!"

  Everyone who heard it gasped in amazement. In their hearts, they felt even more reverence and awe for such a wise and discerning ruler, whose rewards and punishments were so clearly defined, which was truly astonishing and intimidating.

  Chen San felt ashamed and covered his face with his sleeve, about to leave. But he was pulled back by Li Zheng, who laughed and said: "It's nothing, Chen San probably caught a cold last night and isn't feeling well. If you don't mind that I've eaten half of this bowl of noodles, take it and eat it!"

  Chen San was moved to tears, his eyes almost overflowing with emotion.

  All these Liu Yis are clearly visible in the god's image. During the day, he is drowsy and asleep in the god's image. Yesterday, he was frightened and his soul was also damaged.

  However, as the villagers worshiped and offered incense, Liu Yi soon recovered. Moreover, with the fragrance of the incense, combined with the newly renovated temple, a miraculous change appeared around him.

  Never has it been so luxurious, the endless stream of incense and wishes, constantly swarming in. All were transformed by this summons, transformed into a drop-by-drop, like white ** divine power.

  Originally, it was a sea of knowledge, but only a sea of consciousness, not a physical object. The silk threads of cloud and mist seeped out, like smoke and fog, and under the transformation of the symbol, they transformed into drop by drop of water droplets.

  Carve out a small spiritual pool. It's called a spiritual pool, but it's just the size of a bowl, and soon the bottom will be filled with a thin layer. However, upon closer inspection, it seems as vast as the great ocean, containing countless living beings.

  This is divine power, transformed by the wishes of all living beings, every single drop possesses infinite strength.

  Liu Yi suddenly had an epiphany, when this bowl-sized spiritual pool was completely full, he would be able to transform. Truly become a divine spirit, and now it's just occupying the incense fire, having a little bit of small magical powers as a spiritual ghost.

  Then the thick fog gathered around him, slowly expanding. It was as if Liu Yi had an extra space made of mist beside him, no longer that small muddy idol.

  It wasn't until the temple was completely repaired that the fog suddenly shook and split open. Liu Yi found himself in a room about one zhang (about 3.3 meters) square, with a black-tiled roof, although the ground was still earthen. There was a faint light, enough to ward off wind and rain.

  This room is about ten square meters. Although it's small, it's much better than hiding in the statue before.

  "This is indeed a Taoist temple!" Liu Yisheng suddenly became enlightened and felt joyful in his heart. He finally wasn't a lonely wandering ghost anymore.

  After today's events, eight or nine out of ten villagers will become believers in their own homes.

  In the spiritual sea of Chi Hai, Liu Yi suddenly realized that he had to wait for a hundred believers to worship him before he could transform into a divine spirit.

  Waiting for all the villagers to leave, Zheng was still there. It wasn't until then that Liu Yi noticed him and was shocked.

  This person has a hint of spiritual clarity on his head, and is actually a medium.
