Chapter 65: The wise and upright are the gods who die
"Master Dao, this is the statue of the god you asked me to carve. My skills are limited and I don't know if Dao can take a fancy to it!"
Carpenter Yu rubbed his hands with some anxiety and said to Zhou Tunan.
In front of him, there was a half-man-tall wooden statue.
The carving is a woman holding a sword in her hand and playing a piano on her knees. She looks heroic, but also gentle and beautiful.
Although this carving is not only ingenious, it is at least not bad, with a bit lifelike taste.
Zhou Tunan praised it all the time: "Good craftsmanship, good craftsmanship! How bad is this craftsmanship? I'll give it to you now!"
The carpenter Yu smiled honestly and said, "How dare you ask Master Dao to collect money? Last time, if my girl was not Dao's help, I'm afraid it would be gone! Xiao Cui, she's just here to kowtow to Master Dao!"
As he said this, he called a seven or eight-year-old girl to come and kowtow to Zhou Tunan.
It turns out that Carpenter Yu is from Zhangjia Village nearby. Her daughter Xiao Cui is pale and thin all year round, and she is weak and sickly. Almost everyone thinks that Xiao Cui will not grow up and die sooner or later.
Later, after showing Zhou Tunan, a bowl of Three Yang Dharma Water fell down and pulled out countless roundworms. From then on, his body gradually improved.
This also made Zhou Tunan realize that in this era, many children have problems with roundworms.
In fact, don’t talk about this world, even Zhou Tunan’s previous life was solved in the 1950s and 1960s.
In short, Carpenter Yu felt that Zhou Tunan saved his daughter's life and refused to accept Zhou Tunan's wages, and asked his daughter Xiao Cui to come over to kowtow to Zhou Tunan, thanking Zhou Tunan for his life-saving grace!
But Xiao Cui was also well-behaved and obedient, and came directly to kowtow to Zhou Tunan.
Zhou Tunan pulled her up and touched her little head, but said to Carpenter Yu: "Since that's the case, I won't give you money! Don't say I'm stingy behind my back!"
Yu Carpenter smiled silly and said, "Who dares to collect money from our Zhangjia Village to work for Master Dao? Master Dao is afraid that he will let me get stabbed by someone!
Almost every household in our Zhangjia Village has been treated by Dao’s illness, and they all thank Dao for his kindness!
Yes, the village chief said that since Master Dao carved this statue of the goddess, he must have built a temple.
At that time, where will Dao Master build the temple? Just say it, every household will come out to help Dao Master!"
Zhou Tunan is preparing to build a temple!
The underground secret sect of the Tianmen Sect needs to build the altar of gods and evil incense.
However, a serious Taoist like Zhou Tunan doesn’t have to hide it so much. Just build a temple directly, just go to the government to report it.
In fact, it doesn’t matter if you don’t report it!
Now that the spiritual energy in the world has disappeared, all kinds of ghosts and gods have disappeared one after another. The construction of temples will no longer affect the sensitive nerves of the government, and now the management of nature is not strict.
If it were an era of sufficient spiritual energy, any Taoist would have to undergo strict review by the government to build a temple. There are many more requirements for the gods worshipped. The righteous gods who were not included in the court sacrificial rituals cannot be worshipped!
Zhou Tunan was too lazy to go to the county government to report, and planned to build a small temple first.
Just as I was worried about the lack of money, I was very happy to hear this saying by Carpenter Yu.
In this way, isn't the matter solved?
He said with emotion: "That's so sorry!"
Yu Carpenter said seriously: "Yes, Taoist, has cured so many diseases for the people of Zhangjia Village, but has never received a penny."
Now that Master Dao is going to build a temple, what is my strength?
As for matters like materials, Dao Ye doesn’t need to worry about it.
There are so many things in the mountains, so we just need to put some effort into cutting them. However, Dao still needs to pay for some bricks and tiles.
But it doesn’t take much, I guess ten taels of silver is enough!”
Zhou Tunan nodded repeatedly when he heard this. Ten taels of silver were just a small sum of money.
Such an era is really simple and simple!
Zhou Tunan has gained some new understanding of merit and morality.
Although he is a time traveler, he agrees with the rule of law in his heart.
However, after living in this world for a long time, I have begun to deeply realize that although the rule of law is necessary, morality is also indispensable!
If the rule of law is a machine that maintains the operation of society, then morality is the lubricant.
Without moral lubrication, then the cold machine of the rule of law will cause countless problems if it continues to operate.
For example, no one dares to help an old man when he falls...
I said a few more words to Carpenter Yu, and waited until Zhou Tunan was about to return to the Qiyi Village.
Then Carpenter Yu asked someone to help and carried the statue of the god back to Zhou Tunan.
Now Zhou Tunan has a high prestige in Zhangjia Village. As soon as he asked Zhou Tunan to help, a large number of people volunteered to come and get in hand, got in a car, and sent the statue back to the Yizhuang.
Because of the good wood, this statue is still very heavy!
Zhou Tunan wanted to leave everyone to eat, but was rejected by these people.
He didn't want to say much, after all, many people feel bad about places like charity villages!
Zhou Tunan sent Yu and others away, and suddenly spoke and asked, "By the way, Master Dao. Who is the goddess you are planning to worship here?"
"You said this!" Zhou Tunan laughed: "This is Madam Lin!"
As he said that, he briefly told the story of Lady Lin.
But the historical background has been hidden.
By the way, Zhou Tunan's original "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" blurred the historical background.
However, there are two types of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" published by Tianmen Sect. One is publicly circulated by Zhou Tunan's original version.
Another version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has a real historical background, but it is circulated secretly in private.
Now both versions of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" have been circulated. Although the speed of information circulation in this era is too slow, it has not yet achieved the effect of spreading it across the country.
But it also spreads rapidly within a small range!
This is of course related to Zhou Tunan's original story, which is written in a touching enough way.
Moreover, he tried his best to write in oral language, similar to Water Margin and Journey to the West, which was naturally easy to spread!
However, it is normal that I have never seen a mountain village like Zhangjia Village and have never heard of it!
At this moment, after hearing the story of Madam Lin, Yu and others sighed repeatedly. One and two saluted to the statue of the god, and worshiped a few times, "As such a loyal and virtuous daughter, you should stand an statue to worship it!"
In the tradition of Eastern civilization, there has always been a habit of erecting monuments for loyal ministers and martyrs, and even building temples and sacrifices.
It is said that one is smart and upright to die and be a god!
Therefore, there is no objection to Zhou Tunan's enthronement of this Lady Lin as a god.
Zhou Tunan looked at it with a smile and said, "Not only that, this magical and extraordinary thing. You will know in the future!
The reason why I cast spells to cure you is because I borrowed the power of this goddess!”
When everyone heard this, they even felt awe: "Then you have to bow again!"
Some said: "In the future, the temple is completed, and we must come to burn incense and kowtow!"
Chapter completed!
