"Ask the gods to take action?!" Everyone was shocked.
For people in the desert, gods are such mysterious existences. Many people equate gods with holy places and have never thought of asking gods to help them.
What's more, they don't know how to ask the gods to take action.
"Yes, since the gods have given me revelations, it means that he is paying attention to this land." Chu Ci said firmly: "As long as we sincerely request him, I think he will help us."
Several senior members of the Lie tribe present looked at each other. Chief Lie hesitated for a moment and asked: "Then how should we ask the gods for help?"
"This is simple." Chu Ci smiled slightly: "We need to cast the statue of the god first, build the temple, spread the name of the god, let the god feel the reaction, and then..."
Listening to Chu Ci's words, the expression on Patriarch Lie's face relaxed.
Although there are many requirements mentioned in Chu Ci, they can basically be solved by manpower and require very few resources.
This is much better than what Chief Lie had imagined. According to some ancient records in Lie City, he knew that asking the gods to come would require a lot of precious offerings. He originally thought that a lot of things would need to be offered to the gods. That would be a big problem for Lie City today.
Not a small burden.
The others also breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't know the story Chu Ci made up, so they still had doubts about what Chu Ci said. But since the price of asking the gods was not high, there was no harm in giving it a try.
"Okay, I will arrange people to start this matter." Patriarch Lie pondered for a while and said: "In a month, the temple can be established."
"It doesn't take a month, half a month is enough." Captain Bailie said solemnly: "I will mobilize the power of the patrol team, make this matter a top priority, and go all out to build the temple!"
"We will also prepare materials for requesting rituals from the gods." Several other senior leaders of the Lie Tribe also said.
After making arrangements for a while, Patriarch Lie looked at Chu Ci: "After the temple is completed, we need to trouble Saint Chu again."
"It should be." Chu Ci smiled broadly.
Liecheng senior management, done!
After leaving the inner city, Luo Jiuyou looked at Chu Ci from time to time.
"What's wrong? There's something on my face?" Chu Ci looked confused.
"It's nothing, I just think it's a shame for you not to be a god." Luo Jiuyou sighed: "You have such an ability to tell lies with your eyes open, how come it took you so long to obtain the status of a god?"
"Be careful, I will sue you for slander!" Chu Ci said solemnly: "I am a god of justice, not a magic stick. All this is to save the people of Liecheng!"
Luo Jiuyou looked at Chu Ci speechlessly. I saw how excited you were when you were making up a story just now. Wasn't it fun to lie to others?
Chu Ci coughed dryly and explained: "This is a necessary means. We don't have much time to slowly cultivate believers. We can only quickly build the temple through the high-level road of Liecheng, and then slowly stabilize the faith.
"
In a godless place like the Spitting Fire Desert, it is especially difficult to cultivate believers. Basically, no sand people can pray at the altar ceremony.
Even if Chu Ci wants to perform a miracle, someone needs to know how to pray. You can't just run over and ask you what you wish for.
At this time, a good identity emerged. Chu Xin's identity as a pilgrim who was cared for by the gods would be more useful than Chu Ci's own identity as a god in some aspects. After the temple was built, he could also serve as the initial priest's teacher.
Altar knowledge.
Many sand people have never seen gods, but many sand people have seen pilgrims. For some things that are inconvenient for gods to come forward, Chu Xin can explain and guide them, which can be more conducive to the spread of faith.
Luo Jiuyou naturally knew these things, she was just surprised by Chu Ci's actions immediately.
You must know that when she was listening on the sidelines, she felt a little ashamed when she heard Chu Ci's fabricated story. As a speaker, Chu Ci could actually say those words so calmly.
To deceive believers into building their own temples, is this something that a serious god can do?
If he hadn't seen Chu Ci obtain the divine status of heaven and earth with his own eyes, Luo Jiuyou would have thought that Chu Ci was the god of lies and deceit.
However, Luo Jiuyou had to admit that this method was indeed very efficient. With the intervention of Liecheng's senior officials, they were able to save a lot of time in cultivating believers.
For today's conflict-ridden Fire-Spitting Desert, time is of the essence. The earlier the war is stopped, the more lives can be saved.
"After the temple is built, are you confident that the water source problem can be solved?"
Luo Jiuyou was a little worried. If Liecheng built the temple according to Chu Ci but did not solve the water source problem, the prestige of the god would undoubtedly plummet, which would be extremely detrimental to cultivating believers in the future.
"Don't worry, I already know the problem with the water source, and I won't do anything I'm not sure about." Chu Ci looked confident.
"Of course I believe you, but judging from the appearance of the people in Liecheng, it is not an easy task to develop followers in the desert." Luo Jiuyou sighed.
It can be seen from the attitudes of Patriarch Lie and Captain Bai Lie that they have awe for the legendary gods, but they only have awe and no belief.
In this land, there are no traces of gods. The desert people have long been accustomed to relying on themselves. The only thing they can call faith is the desert itself. At this time, it is difficult to change their minds and make them believe in gods.
Chu Ci looked thoughtful: "You are right to worry. It will be difficult for the temple to develop just by saving the water source. A strong medicine is also needed."
After all, only the upper echelons of the Lie tribe knew that gods could save water sources. Most of the other people could not see or know about it, which made it difficult for them to have faith.
Moreover, it takes a while to sort out the earth's veins through the idols, and sorting out the earth's veins requires the power of faith. We cannot always use the power of faith obtained from Jiuge City to fill this gap.
What Chu Ci needs is to gain a group of loyal believers in a short period of time. Only with believers can there be a foundation, so that the temple can develop quickly.
After thinking for a while, Chu Ci had an idea in his mind.
The fastest way to make humans believe in gods is undoubtedly to send miracles.
Then he will give the people of Liecheng a miracle!
Condensing a string of beads and putting them on Luo Jiuyou's wrist, Chu Ci said: "I want to go back. I condensed these beads with illusion power. They contain illusions and can temporarily maintain your image.
"
Luo Jiuyou frowned slightly: "Go back? Did something happen in Jiuge City?"
"No." Chu Ci shook his head: "I suddenly thought of a way that might help people in Lie City quickly develop faith. I need to go back and prepare."
After briefly discussing his thoughts with Luo Jiuyou, Luo Jiuyou showed a look of surprise.
"Then I should continue to stay in Liecheng?"
"Well, you just stay here. One of us still needs to be in charge of Liecheng to avoid problems. By the way, he can help me with the early preparations."
Luo Jiuyou nodded slightly.
"I'll leave Liecheng to you. I'll go back quickly. If Liecheng asks about my whereabouts, I'll rely on you to help me solve the problem."
"Do not worry."
Chu Ci stretched out his hand to condense a starlight anchor point, bury it in the space, circulate the star power, and build a starlight channel.
After a while, a starlight passage connecting Lie City and Jiuge City was completed.
Before entering the starlight passage, Chu Ci was still a little worried. He looked back at Luo Jiuyou and said, "You must never leave the city!"
If Chu Ci gets lost in this desert, there really is no place to look for him.
Luo Jiuyou's expression froze, showing an expression of embarrassment.
"I know! You hurry up and leave!"
Watching Chu Ci disappear into the space, the embarrassed expression on Luo Jiuyou's face gradually faded, but after seeing the magic bead on his wrist, he didn't know what he thought of, and his pretty cheeks turned red again.
