This stone tablet can indeed be regarded as a historical relic. However, Zhong Yunqi and the others still don't know how this has anything to do with what they are talking about today.
At this time, the old mayor said to where his three sons were standing: "Boss, go back to the back hall of our house and get the book under the shrine."
"Yes, Dad!" The eldest son of the old mayor nodded, turned around and squeezed out of the crowd, heading towards his house.
The others, including the second and third children, had never known anything about the book before.
During festivals, they would go to the back hall to worship and burn incense and paper.
But I never know what kind of notebook is underneath.
What the old mayor said was actually something he didn’t even know when he was young.
His father only told him when he reached a certain age.
The old mayor turned to look at his grandson Zhong Yunqi, and said slowly:
"Xiao Qi, except for you, no one in our family is well-educated!
There are not many educated people in our town.
We don’t quite understand the big principles you’re talking about!
Look at these folks around you.
All we know is that we have all lived in this town in our time, and we have all followed the instructions of our ancestors from generation to generation, guarding the sacred mountain and worshiping the gods on the sacred mountain.
Maybe those great principles you talked about are all true.
Maybe, what we have always followed is the right thing!
But look at everyone!
None of that matters, you know!
We are willing to worship the gods on the sacred mountain, and we are also willing to believe that there are gods protecting us!
This is what our ancestors have insisted on for generations, this is our root!"
The old mayor Zhong Yuanshan is not young anymore, he speaks very slowly!
However, every word he said touched everyone's heart!
yes!
Do those really matter?
This is how everyone has been coming from generation to generation!
Even if there is no so-called god, they still want to worship!
This is their root!
Looking at his little grandson who fell silent, the old mayor continued:
"Xiao Qi, no matter what you want to do, there is one thing!
The sacred mountain must not be moved at all, and no one can stop today's worship!
If you still don’t want to listen, then just ask everyone!”
These are the last words of the old mayor!
He threw the question back to his grandson, and also gave the decision-making power to everyone in the ancient town!
Zhong Yunqi looked around at the people around him.
He seemed to want to say something more, but found it difficult to speak.
Because the firm eyes of everyone had undoubtedly told him the answer!
No one can stop today’s worship!
In the end, Zhong Yunqi could only sigh in his heart and say nothing more!
He took the young people from the town committee with him and withdrew from the crowd and stood at the edge of the square.
"Brother Zhong, are we really not going to stop it? Didn't we agree when we came here that we would come here to spread science, impart knowledge, and make everyone rich?"
A young man with glasses who came here to teach couldn't help but said.
"You have also seen this situation now, and we can't stop it even if we want to!
Moreover, during this period of time, the mysterious disappearance of livestock raised by several families in the town has also made those people who were finally persuaded by us turn back!
This is very detrimental to the development of our work, but we can't find any useful information."
