What made her speechless was not anything else but the position of the gold-plated statue.
"Song Yuan, you don't even know the basics of worshiping statues, so what kind of statues do you want to worship?"
Song Yuan did not reply immediately, but looked at the statue nervously, fearing that their conversation would be overheard by that thing.
Su Keke saw his scruples and explained: "It's not here now. If it wants to gather the power of faith, it won't just point to you as a believer."
Song Yuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. No wonder Su Keke didn't avoid the thing when he spoke. It turned out that the thing wasn't there.
"When will this thing come back?" Song Yuan asked.
Just after asking, he remembered that he had not replied to Su Keke's words, and hurriedly explained: "I know what you said about the particularities. Statues of gods are usually placed in a bright living room.
When my distant cousin gave me this statue, I told him that if my parents found out that I was offering the statue, they would definitely throw it away and scold me. But my cousin said that he gave it to me.
This statue of mine is different from other statues, and it can be placed in the bedroom."
Because Song Yuan had strongly requested that no one was allowed to enter his bedroom without his consent, so his parents would not enter his bedroom. It was okay to put the statue in the bedroom.
"My cousin said that as long as you burn good incense and offer good offerings, the gods won't care about this kind of thing..."
After talking about it, Song Yuan became more and more embarrassed and ashamed.
Although he didn't fully believe his cousin's words about the protection of the statues at the beginning, he was still shaken in his heart and had the idea of believing them rather than trusting them.
Anyway, it doesn’t cost much to change the offerings to the statue every day and burn incense every day.
What's more, this gold-plated idol was given to him by his cousin without asking him for any money. Although the gold-plated thing is not very valuable, it shows his cousin's thoughts. This is what Song Yuan thought at the time.
Now he understands everything, he is seeking his own death in everything.
If he hadn't been greedy, he wouldn't have been deceived by his distant cousin.
The so-called string of golden ebony that switches on and off is fake, so I will lose some money, but this statue is different, it attracts things that can kill people!
Su Keke glanced at the silent but still very present man next to him, blinked at him, his eyes were particularly bright, "Apprentice, tell him."
Qin Mochen looked at the little girl and raised his eyebrows, "Yes, Teacher Xiao Su."
The man explained seriously: "No matter what kind of god this statue is, the location of this statue is taboo.
A person's body is most relaxed when sleeping, and it is inevitable to show ugly appearance. If you put a statue of a god in your bedroom, don't you want the gods to see your unrestrained sleeping posture? If it is a couple's bedroom, it will be even more disrespectful to the gods."
Song Yuan was shocked. The other party explained it very clearly. He understood the matter as soon as he thought about it.
If a man is having sex with a woman and the gods are watching, it will definitely stain the eyes of the gods. No matter who the gods are, they will be furious.
Fortunately, he was single. Song Yuan thought about his sleeping position and found that there was nothing indecent about it.
Su Keke's lips curved, "What my apprentice said is right. You should be glad that this statue has not been consecrated, and no god has appeared. Otherwise, let alone granting any of your wishes, it would be nice not to vent your anger."
Song Yuan's nerves were tense upon hearing this.
He was wrong. He would never believe in these gods and ghosts again, lest he get nothing and cause trouble for no reason!
Now, Master Su Keke and Qin Mochen just talked about the taboo about the location of the statue. When Su Keke approached the statue and recognized what kind of god it was, when he looked at Song Yuan, he suddenly showed sympathy.
"Song Yuan, think about it carefully. Does your distant cousin have any issues with you?" Su Keke suddenly asked.
Song Yuan's expression changed, and Su Keke suddenly asked what he meant by this.
Could it be that my cousin caused this thing on purpose?
Is he deliberately harming himself?
Song Yuan shook his head with a dark face, "This cousin and I are too far apart and don't often interact with each other. We just happened to bump into each other last time and chatted for a few words. I found..."
He no longer wanted to say the next words.
He found out that the two of them were like-minded and then got deceived. He had no shame to say such things.
Su Keke looked at Qin Mochen and blinked, "Uncle...apprentice, do you recognize this statue?"
Qin Mochen has a smile in his eyes, want to test him again? xdw8
He has read so many books that he can even recognize the Wuxiang Shen, so how can he still not know the one in front of him?
Qin Mochen didn't remember to say that. He stepped forward and took a closer look at it. After confirming what he was looking for, he said, "It's the God of Poor."
Su Keke immediately gave him a look of appreciation.
Qin Mochen thought it was funny, but it felt good to be praised by the teacher.
Song Yuan was stunned for a while when he heard this.
He had heard of the God of Wealth, Guanyin, Tathagata, and the God of Wen and Wu, but he had never heard of this poor God.
"There are folk songs about poor gods in many places. On the first day of the lunar month, people worship gods, on the second day of the lunar month, people worship people. On the third day of the lunar month, people beg for rice... On the 14th day of the lunar month, the lights are bright. On the 15th day of the year, after prayers are finished, people pick green flowers to cure all diseases.
.
On this day, people clean up, fire cannons, burn incense, and offer paper to the poor. This is called "sending the poor", which means offering sacrifices to the poor god. However, people prefer to call them poor ghosts."
Song Yuan was stunned when he heard this. He stared at the golden statue. How could it be... a poor god?
"Although this statue is gilded, his clothes are ragged. Song Yuan, didn't you notice?"
Su Keke pointed to the golden bowl held by the statue, "Look carefully. Is there a gap in the bowl?"
Song Yuan quickly took a closer look.
There seems to be a gap!
This statue is holding a chipped bowl. Why does it look like... a beggar?
"I saw that this god was plated with gold, so I didn't pay attention to that. Who knew he was actually a poor god!" Song Yuan's expression looked like he had eaten shit.
Qin Mochen tapped the statue with his knuckles and scratched it with his nails. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "This is not gold plating. The thickness of the gold plating layer must be more than 0.18 microns to be called gold plating. If it is not enough, it is a cheap process."
gold'."
Song Yuan was speechless.
His expression was very ugly.
That distant cousin not only gave him a poor god, but also a worthless poor god painted with gold?
Why on earth did he harm him like this?!
What kind of grudge does his cousin have against him or his whole family? He actually wants them to become paupers!
"Is this... the poor god who appeared two days ago?" Song Yuan asked in a difficult voice.
"Of course not. Didn't I say that the poor god didn't consecrate the light? It's not him who showed up." Su Keke glanced at him, "Do you want it to show up? If the poor god shows up, it's not a good thing. Your family will miss it."
If you leak money too often, you will become poorer and poorer."
Song Yuan quickly said: "No, no, I don't want this poor god to appear!"
"Su Keke, what exactly is this thing attached to the statue?" He then asked.
The poor guy is not good, and that thing is probably even worse.
"I won't know until it comes." Su Keke took something out of his bag and said, "Go and burn a stick of incense for the statue and summon it."
