After a few seconds of silence, the people who had hid in the houses carefully walked out one by one. When they saw the snake corpse floating on the river, they all cheered.
"I'm waiting to see the gods. I would like to thank the gods for helping me get rid of the snake demon in Liuhe Village. I'm very grateful." Afterwards, the villagers knelt down to Xu Ran one after another, showing gratitude in their eyes.
"I'm not a god, I'm just a mortal. You don't need to kneel down and worship me," Xu Ran said to everyone.
A gentle force held their knees, allowing them to stand up uncontrollably.
The water snake spirit had done many evil things and was killed here by Xu Ran today. The villagers of Liuhe Village were very happy and looked at Xu Ran with eyes filled with gratitude and awe.
"Thank you to the gods for getting rid of the snake monsters in Liuhe Village. I don't know the name of the gods. Our village is willing to erect a stone tablet for the gods so that future generations will remember the kindness of the gods." The oldest villager in Liuhe Village stood up and looked at Xu
Ran said.
Xu Ran wanted to refuse, but when he saw the hopeful eyes of each of the villagers, he turned and said: "I don't have a Taoist name. I follow my master to learn the Tao in the mountain. I go down the mountain to practice, punish rape and eliminate evil. If there are monsters that cause trouble,
I have a sword that must be cut with the sword, and it is called Dragon Cutting. From now on, please call me Dragon Cutting Taoist."
In fact, the sword that Xu Ran used most was the Qingfeng Sword, but Qingfeng Taoist was not easy to hear, so he named himself after the Dragon-Slaying Sword and gave himself the title of Dragon-Slaying Taoist.
There are many traveler poets in Dongli Kingdom. Every time they go to a place, they see the customs and customs, or learn about strange stories and stories, and they record them in their biographies.
It is recorded in "Liuhe Biography" that "Liuhe Village was originally peaceful and peaceful, with good weather and good weather. Suddenly, a water snake spirit occupied the Liuhe River and liked to eat people. The king once sent five thousand elite soldiers, but they were dragged into the river by the water snake spirit. No one was spared. Dongli Kingdom
In the past xx years, Taoist Master Zhanlong passed by Liuhe Village and killed the water snake spirit with his sword, leaving behind a mark named Taoist Master Zhanlong. The people of Liuhe Village will remember the kindness of Taoist Master Zhanlong from generation to generation."
Of course, these are all things for later.
Xu Ran killed the water snake spirit and wanted to leave, but the people of Liuhe Village enthusiastically persuaded Xu Ran to stay. Within half a month, they built a lifelike statue of Xu Ran, which stood at the entrance of Liuhe Village.
This is a stone tablet erected by the villagers of Liuhe Village to commemorate Xu Ran for helping them kill the snake demon. They hope that generations of Liuhe Village and ancestors will not forget the kindness of Taoist Dragon Slayer.
"Hey, what a strange feeling." While Xu Ran was practicing, he suddenly discovered that a mysterious power had entered his body, and his cultivation was growing slowly. Although the growth was slow, Xu Ran could still feel it.
"Is it possible that this is the so-called merit?" Xu Ran opened his eyes, thoughtfully.
"Thank you Taoist Dragon Slayer for your kindness. I, Liuhe Village, will never forget it from generation to generation."
"Thank you Taoist Dragon Slayer for your kindness. I, Liuhe Village, will never forget it from generation to generation."
In a daze, Xu Ran seemed to hear someone singing his name. Xu Ran stopped practicing and involuntarily went to the sky above Liuhe Village and found that the villagers of Liuhe Village were actually kneeling and worshiping in front of the statue they had built for themselves.
Moreover, he kept mumbling to himself, chanting extremely piously, and the words he muttered were the sounds that appeared in Xu Ran's mind when he was in a trance.
"Could this be the so-called power of faith?" Xu Ran muttered.
"It seems that in Journey to the West, it is not unreasonable for the gods of the upper world to ask mortals to build temples for them, and for the Tathagata to ask Tang Sheng to learn Buddhist scriptures from the West," Xu Ran said thoughtfully.
Suddenly I understood something.
The power of faith is the so-called incense.
The people in the lower world use incense to worship the gods in the sky every day, and the gods in the sky are blessed by the power of faith, and their cultivation will slowly increase even if they do not practice.
No wonder there are so many temples to gods and goddesses in the "Journey to the West" plane.
The gods in heaven are worshiped by mortals in the lower world and gain the power of faith. If the people in the lower world are in trouble, they will go to the temple to pray and be pious, and the gods in heaven will sense the difficulties encountered by the mortals in the lower world, so that the lower world can solve the problems for the people.
This is actually a mutually beneficial thing. You give me faith and I will help you solve your difficulties.
A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Xu Ran's mouth, extremely shameless towards the gods in the sky.
There are temples all over Dongli Kingdom to worship the gods in heaven, but there are monsters causing trouble in Dongli Kingdom, but no gods take action.
Regardless of whether it is the power of faith or the power of incense, the heaven that protects Dongli Kingdom is left, absorbing faith or incense over time, but there are monsters in Dongli Kingdom causing chaos.
However, the gods in heaven did not come forward and watched helplessly as the monsters caused chaos.
Therefore, Xu Ran despised the gods in heaven.
In real world terms, this kind of inactive god is a corrupt official.
This is certainly not the case in Dongli, but also in many places.
"Since you don't cherish the faith of these people, don't blame me for interfering," Xu Ran said to himself.
There are hundreds of people worshiping Xu Ran in Liuhe Village. Xu Ran has received a very weak power of faith, which is almost negligible, but there are thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions of believers.
The weak power of faith will be multiplied ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times.
This is a huge amount of 'wealth'.
Xu Ran's eyes were burning, as if he had discovered a 'way to make money'.
....
This is a rocky mountain with jagged rocks. There is a cold pool in the middle, about five miles in radius. There is air conditioning on the surface of the cold pool, the water in the cold pool is bitingly cold, and there is no one living in it for hundreds of miles.
The phantom soul of a black snake floated here, and then sneaked into the cold pool.
Under the cold pool is a magnificent palace.
"Sister, sister, you have to avenge me," the black snake's soul phantom transformed into a young man in black robes, crying and crying.
"Shut up you bitch, don't call me sister, I'm not your sister." The next moment, a scolding sound came.
The woman was wearing a blue dress and a hairpin on her head. She had a pretty face, but she had a cold and arrogant expression on her face. The woman walked out aggressively and looked at the young man in black robe with dissatisfaction.
"elder sister"
The young man in black robe seems to be a little afraid of women, even though there is only one soul left, he is still shrinking.
Although the young man in black robe looked timid on the outside, he was filled with hatred in his heart. Damn you bitch, we were all born from the same father after all, but you actually called me a bitch.
Although he was angry in his heart, the young man in black robe did not dare to show it.
His father is the Dragon King of Bibotan, a dragon, and his mother is a black snake in the mountains.
Long Ben likes to be promiscuous. This dragon is romantic by nature and is merciful. He had a romantic night with Black Snake's mother and gave birth to Black Snake.
Snakes are originally terrestrial creatures, but because of the dragon, black snakes are familiar with water.
To put it mildly, it is a mixed race; to put it worse, it is a crossbreed.
