Chapter 23 Promotion
At this time, Zhang Qingchang sang: "The auspicious time is here, please give me the statue of God!"
Zhang Jingyun's face was flushed, and when he lifted his hand, the red silk fell down, revealing the statue of the land god. When everyone saw that he looked like a young official, wearing a ninth-rank official uniform, with a majestic figure, exactly the same as the statue of the land god in the other four villages.
Zhang Jingyun lit the first incense stick and bowed respectfully.
Zhang Qing followed the second stick and bowed down. The rest of the people burned incense in order according to their seniority. Not long after, the entire ancestral hall was surrounded by cigarettes, and the villagers felt even more solemn. At this time, everyone's incense was finished. Zhang Jingyun led the villagers to bow down again.
Fang Ming was above the statue at this moment. As the Qingxi villagers bowed collectively, the golden seal on his head shook violently and became bigger again. The white air poured in and turned into a slight red air. The red luck on his head grew rapidly, and soon it occupied half of the overall luck.
The divine power in his body continued to transform, and half of it turned into red divine power, constantly wrapped in the talisman of the priest. After a moment, the talisman of the priest was promoted and the runes became more mysterious. But Fang Ming could understand the meaning at a glance, "The Land God of the Eighth Grade Qingxi Township", the talisman shone brightly, and a red and white light was generated from it, rushing into Fang Ming's sea of consciousness.
Fang Ming was dizzy and immediately woke up. This time he obtained a new magical power, "Distraction and possession", which could consume a lot of divine power, divide the divine spirit, and attach it to mortals. The longer the last time, the greater the consumption.
Fang Ming was overjoyed, and then his red and white light flashed, and the original official uniform of the ninth rank also turned into the eighth rank official uniform, which seemed more orthodox. Originally, Fang Ming could have changed the official uniform when he was promoted to the eighth rank, but unfortunately, all villages had already shaped statues of the ninth rank official uniform. If you want to change it, it would be OK, but it was meaningless. It would be better to save your divine power and keep it to this day, and then take a miracle.
With a thought, red divine power surged out, and the statue of the land god suddenly was wrapped in red light, alarming everyone below. Zhang Jingyun opened his mouth wide and looked at the strange scene, but could not say a word.
The villagers around were even more at a loss. In a flash, the red light dissipated. The statue of the land god was solemn and still looked like a boy, and it seemed a little different. At this time, Zhang Qing said in a lost voice: "The official uniform... the official uniform has changed, and it has become the official uniform of the eighth rank..."
The villagers calmed down and saw that the official ninth rank official uniform on the statue was gone, and they were replaced by the official eighth rank official uniform: wearing a beam crown on the head, a red silk top on the outside, white socks on the feet, a leather belt and a ribbon on the waist, and especially a yellow oriole on the chest, which is a symbol of the eighth rank civil servant of the Daqian rank.
They knelt down one after another and said, "The God of Land has appeared!" "The God of Land is blessed!" "The God of Land is powerful!" and other words.
Fang Ming smiled slightly. He not only changed this statue, but also modified the statues of the land temples in the other four villages. However, there were too many statues invited by everyone to go back, and the modification was too useless, so he did not move.
But even so, it is an amazing miracle, especially in Daqian, who had no gods before.
Fang Ming's move was to learn from the methods of Western gods, show miracles, gather believers, and deepen faith.
Originally, it was just a random try, but now it was very effective. Through the faith line, Fang Ming could clearly know that more than 150 ordinary believers in the other four villages increased, and more than 20 devout believers increased, which greatly increased his income.
In Qingxi Township, more than 500 people have become ordinary believers, and even more than a dozen devout believers. This is the beginning, and Fang Ming was very satisfied.
At the same time, I also understand that most Western gods have shown miracles after they were just won by the gods, and there is indeed a reason. Of course, all miracles are the best for the first time. If there are too many, they will be worthless. But Fang Ming is also a foundation-making career now and doesn’t care about so many.
It was night, and because the villagers were richer than the villagers, there were still lights in Qingxi Township, which were twinkling like fireflies.
In the land temple law area, Fang Ming was having a banquet for the ministers in the lobby.
Since Qingxi Township has 200 households and more than 1,000 villagers, the land temple was built very large, and the surrounding small temples of about 100 acres are naturally incomparable. In addition, Fang Ming showed miracles on the spot and deepened his beliefs, the land temple derived from the land temple was extremely large, with a total of 100 acres, which surprised Fang Ming.
Fang Ming decided on the spot to activate it immediately and relocate all the Qingyu Village base camp here.
The main hall was also magnificent and generous, enough to accommodate a hundred people. Fang Ming was very happy today and ordered the banquet. Even the old and weak in Qingshan Village invited them together.
Fang Ming sat in the main seat and saw that there were Yin spirits sitting below, each with a seat. There was a flat table in front of him, full of chicken, duck, fish, meat, wine and fruits, which were extremely rich.
In secret, he sighed. He could only use his divine power to evolve the sacrifices and things he had eaten. Some things in his previous life were quite strange and could not be displayed. The rest were only these. Although it seemed to the villagers and villagers, it was very rich, but it was probably a bit insufficient to ascend to the county government. He wondered whether he would find a chef ghost in the future.
However, at this time, these dishes were just decent, and the Yin spirits ate very quickly. Even He Yuqing felt that the food was a bit rough, but when he thought that he was already a ghost, he could not even eat the clear water steamed buns in the mortal world. He smiled bitterly and then put chopsticks like rain.
At this time, Guo Sheng stepped forward and toasted, saying, "Congratulations to the lord, killing the enemy and opening up the foundation of Qingxi Township, which is really gratifying. I have a poem to offer to help the wine be prosperous!"
Fang Ming played with the wine glass and smiled playfully. This was the first time he had heard a toast poem from another world. Although He Dong and Zheng Kuan knew a little about literature, they did not know these literati methods. They said, "What poem do you have? Come and recite it!"
I only heard Guo Sheng sing: "I don't care about buying a treasure knife for a thousand gold coins, and changing sable furs to wine is also a blessing. Take care of it with all your passion, and you can still transform the blue waves."
The sound of the lingering sound was lingering around the beams. Everyone was stunned for a moment. He Yuqing reacted and said, "Okay! This poem is wonderful!"
Fang Ming drank all the wine in the glass, laughed with his palm, and looked very happy.
He Dong, Xie Jin, who was beside him, gritted his teeth and wondered if he would also find some books to read.
However, at this time, you cannot express it on your face, you must also show a smile and exclaim.
After Guo Sheng, although no one came out to present poems, the atmosphere had already heated up. The group of people drank wine and ate vegetables, gradually let go, and laughter was often seen at the banquet, and the cups and plates were in a mess.
After the banquet, He Dong, Wang Liulang and others received a message from Fang Ming and came to the study to discuss matters. Although they drank some wine, they were low in their condition and were also a ghost body. With the spiritual power, they lost all their spirits.
The lobby of the Land Temple Dharma Realm is too large, and Fang Ming’s subordinates are the core people, and this is just too empty.
Fortunately, the legal territory was vast, so Fang Ming set out another study room, which was the size of the legal lobby of Qingyu Village, which happened to be used to discuss matters.
The study room is elegantly arranged, and it was invited by He Yuqing. The bookshelf is filled with classic articles from this world, and the meaning of a book is emitting, which is quite stylish.
This was evolved by He Yuqing, led by Guo Sheng and helped by Fang Ming. As long as he meditated on the article in his heart, Fang Ming could turn the article into books and preserve it. This godly method made He Yuqing stunned.
Fang Ming also looked through it and found that the classics of the articles in this world are very similar to those in the previous life, and those in the Qin Dynasty were basically the same, which made him amazed! At the same time, he was secretly thinking about the relationship between the two worlds.
Fang Ming scanned and saw Wang Liulang, Xie Jin, He Dong, Guo Sheng, Zheng Kuan and others were all there, so he nodded and said, "Since you have moved the foundation here, some layouts should be changed!"
Wang Liulang, He Dong looked at each other, took the lead in kneeling down, and said, "Please give me the order!"
Fang Ming nodded and said, "First, there were Yin soldiers, Qingyu, Qingshan, Dachang, and Yuanhe villages, one army was stationed in the land law territory, and the old and weak were still supporting the Qingshan village law territory. The remaining two fires were stationed here, and I set aside fifty acres of land as a military camp!"
He thought about it again and said, "Wang Liulang, Xie Jin, you will have a fire each time. Wang Liulang's troops are stationed in Qingyu and Qingshan Villages, Xie Jin's troops are stationed in Dachang and Yuanhe Villages. They are usually trained, inspected the villages, drove away evil spirits, and still listened to your dispatch. Although the villagers have shelter, they still need Yin soldiers to check for shortcomings and make up for leaks. It is of great importance. You must do this well!"
Wang Liulang and Xie Jin saluted and said, "Receive the order!"
"He Dong, you will take someone to register the believers in Qingxi Township to record the incense. You should be familiar with this matter, but there are the sum of villagers in the four villages in Qingxi Township. The work is complicated. If you take Guo Sheng and the others to do this, I will have a reward!" Fang Mingshou turned around and said to He Dong.
"Do your job for your lord! Never mind! How can you be greedy for rewards? Don't worry, I will do this forever even if I have fought my life!" He Dong looked loyal, secretly happy, and took his subordinates to take the order.
"Well, if you can do this, I will feel at ease." Fang Ming knew He Dong's thoughts, but as long as he was a human being, who wouldn't have some selfishness? As long as it didn't hinder his major affairs, then I don't have to worry about it.
So Fang Ming nodded and said, "Basically these are the things. If you report nothing else, just step down!"
He Dong, Wang Liulang and others looked at each other and retreated.
Fang Ming closed his eyes and thought about his future plans.
Qingxi Township has reported the demise of the ancestor spirit, but the forbidden ghost Cao Si Lingzhu Taoist was ordered to support him. The county had no choice but to archive this matter in advance and wait for Lingzhu to come back to deal with it, so there is still time.
However, the Zhang family has been silent since the completion of the Land Temple, and no one has come to participate today. The intention of asking him to call Li Dazhuang to shake the scene was vain. It seems that he has some intentions and should be vigilant.
Qingxi Township is already in hand, where should we develop next?
Thinking of this, I think of the policy of surrounding cities in the countryside in my previous life. But if you think about it carefully, there are few residents in Daqian, and the villagers in Anchang County are not as crowded as those in the county. Besides, the distance between the townships is too far, which is exhausting and difficult to control.
Moreover, if it is a chaotic world, as long as there is a war, there will be a large number of people who die. In the chaotic world, only by defending the city can we protect a large number of believers.
Moreover, even if the villagers were armed, they could not defeat the regular army. Why? They couldn't eat enough, had poor equipment, and were in chaos. The Yellow Turbans in their previous lives were often chased by the court troops who were more than ten times their own strength and were eventually wiped out.
It seems that if I want to develop, the next step is only the county town, and I just have the magical power of distracting the spirit and possessing the body. Should I go and see the situation?
