Chapter 250 I will support you for the rest of my life

Those who believe in gods always recite their teachings, offer incense and oil, and worship them from time to time.

This is generally what ordinary people need to pay to gods.

But if the deity you believe in is not a genuine one, you can never get rid of it with just a stick of incense and a little fragrant oil.

Obviously, the old patriarch who has become a zombie is not a real god.

"My brother-in-law said he would give me a village and some wells—"

What Old Man Ran wanted to say was that the Wu family couldn't harm people like this.

But not only was his speech a bit incoherent, but he was also interrupted by Wu Miaozhu only halfway through his speech:
"Yes, the village is given to you, and the corpse well is being dug. My Wu family has not broken its promise."

Wu Miaozhu frowned and said, "You guys don't even want to donate blood, do you want me to do it myself?"

This Wu Temple Priest has the cultivation base of the late foundation building stage, which is enough to shock everyone present.

Old Man Ran looked at Tian Lin, but Tian Lin still shook his head.

The Wu family is a clan of the Xiangxi Sect, and there must be disciples of the Xiangxi Sect in the clan.

The Wu family has survived in the Northern Wilderness for longer than the entire Wendao Sect has been operating in the Northern Wilderness.

Of course they were afraid of the Wendao Sect, but they did not think that Tian Lin had the strength to allow the Wendao Sect to intervene, nor did they think that the Wendao Sect would stand up for Old Man Ran's small Huilong Village.

In the final analysis, although the reason why the Wu family ancestor became what he is now was ultimately due to Monk Wusheng, a small part of the "credit" came from Elder Gao.

The Wu family hasn't even gone to ask Dao Zong for help yet.

"Okay, okay—then donate blood!"

Old Man Ran walked forward and picked up a dagger next to the altar on the altar.

He gently cut his palm and blood dripped into the jar.

Even he had surrendered at this point, and the villagers who followed him had no choice but to cut flesh and bleed after Old Man Ran made way.

Soon, the temple was filled with not only the scent of incense oil, but also a faint smell of blood.

After the last person who donated blood had left, the temple priest lifted the altar on the altar.

After he looked at the half jar of blood in the jar, he carried the jar to the sedan chair on the stone platform.

The sedan chair was still banging as the temple keeper poured half a jar of blood onto it.

Most of the blood disappeared on the sedan chair, and only a few drops fell on the ground under the sedan chair.

At this time, the noise inside the sedan became louder, but Wu Miaozhu was not nervous.

He took out three incense sticks from his sleeve and inserted them into the incense burner.

Half an hour passed like this, and there was no more collision sound in the sedan chair, and the temple became quiet.

"From now on, if you hear the sound of a gong at night, it means the hour of the Ox has arrived. No one is allowed to go out after the hour of the Ox, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

After the temple keeper finished speaking, he said to Tian Lin: "Fellow Daoist Tian, although you are not from Gongming Village, for your own safety, please be sure to follow the rules."

Tian Lin glanced at the peace incense in the incense burner in front of the sedan chair.

Then he said to the temple keeper: "Don't worry, Taoist Wu, I will never cause any trouble."

The temple keeper smiled and nodded, then said to Old Man Ran:
"There will be a small sacrifice every ten days from now. Come here at noon every day to burn incense and donate blood. No one in the village, young or old, male or female, must be absent. There will be a big sacrifice once a year, and no one can be absent from the big sacrifice either. Don't say I didn't warn you."

After saying this, he glanced at the incense on the incense burner, then took out three more sticks from his sleeve.

In fact, it’s less than half a quarter of an hour at this time. How could a normal incense stick burn so quickly?
But Wu Miaozhu obviously didn't want to explain this. He waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please leave. Remember to prepare a room for Fellow Daoist Tian."

Old Man Ran led the villagers away from the temple and invited Tian Lin to his new home.

It was not until they arrived at the new house that Old Man Ran spoke up: "You, my brother-in-law, still treat me as his brother-in-law? Isn't this cheating me?"

Tian Lin said: "In fact, the area around Wuliang Mountain is the territory of Wuliang God. The Wu family placed Gongming God in Wuliang Mountain. Aren't they afraid that Wuliang God will get angry?"

Old man Ran had just arrived at his new home and had not yet checked the stove and fire.

Fortunately, he had a treasure in his storage bag. He took it out to boil water and make tea while explaining to Tian Lin:
"Because the powers of gods are different, they may not necessarily exclude each other. Moreover, this so-called Gongming God is now just a walking zombie, without any divine power at all."

Old Man Ran thought for a moment and said to Tian Lin in more straightforward terms: "The current Gongming God is just like the Qianshi Niangniang who was made into a corpse and placed on the altar.

In order to truly turn Master Qian Niangniang into an evil god, how many years did Yujia Village spend?
And if this Gongming God wants to become a deity, I don’t know how many years of our support will be needed.”

Tian Lin understood what old man Ran said. Now this Gongming God is just an ordinary top-grade walking zombie.

But after decades of worship by Old Man Ran and his villagers, this Gongming God will slowly become a true god.

In short, the Wu family not only wanted the people of Huilong Village to provide for their ancestors, but also wanted them to help "create gods".

In fact, this is a method of "raising corpses", just like training magic weapons.

If the corpse can be raised to produce a drought demon, it is equivalent to controlling a Yuanying level strongman.

Similarly, if the walking zombie is truly cultivated into a god by them, then it would be equivalent to Wu Jiashan having a Nascent Soul-level combat power.

But, is it really that simple?
Not to mention how difficult it is to raise a Nascent Soul-level fighter, just think about it, if they really raise such an evil god, can the Wu family control it?
"The Wu family hasn't produced a Nascent Soul expert in a long time, so they want the deceased old patriarch to continue to work hard for the Wu family?"

Tian Lin murmured and looked out the door.

There was a knock on the door, and a villager from Huilong Village came in and bowed to Tian Lin first, then said to Old Man Ran: "Village Chief, Uncle Wu and the others want to discuss something with you."

This is as it should be. If Tian Lin had not occupied Old Man Ran, the villagers of Huilong Village would have come to complain to Old Man Ran long ago.

Originally, according to Old Man Ran, everyone came to the Wu family to make a fortune, but the current situation is completely different from what Old Man Ran said. They will have to guard the Gongming Temple for generations to come.

This is definitely not a good business.

Because "creating a god" cannot be accomplished overnight, it takes decades of hard work to awaken the god.

And if you want to give the gods powerful divine powers, it will take hundreds or thousands of years.

Before that, one cannot expect any response or reward for offerings and worshipping.

In other words, Huilong Village has to pool the strength of the entire village to work for Gongming Temple for free.

Moreover, worshiping evil gods will most likely lead to many unspeakable things happening.

It’s like the village that gave birth to the Goddess of Childbirth. It has now become a mass grave and even the name of the village is not remembered by later generations.

For example, Lady Qianshi was destroyed twice.

How can anyone who gets involved with these evil gods have any good karma? They will all be punished.
