A swarm of heavy artillery bombarded the cultivators.

Chapter 1814 The Four Gods of the House
The Kitchen God left a warning and disappeared.

Tu Sanyi's face turned pale.

In this world, if a god says you are not pious, it is almost like a death sentence, and you will have difficulty going anywhere.

But the white rice at home can only last until the lean season!
If I continue to offer offerings as I did when my parents were alive, everything will be gone in two months at most, and I won’t even have enough to buy sweet potato rice.

Tu Sanyi was just an ordinary young man. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Outside the house, the sun is rising in the east and has already revealed a silhouette.

"not good!"

Tu Sanyi shuddered.

No matter how scared or afraid he was, when the sun was about to rise, he immediately instinctively did certain things. Many things that he had been taught by his parents since childhood, like breathing, were immediately remembered again at this moment.

Tu Sanyi went to his parents' room again and took out incense, candles, paper money and rice.

Here, he hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and took out the same amount of rice as the Kitchen God of Kaoshan Village. He came to the gate, lit the candles, and kowtowed continuously to the two majestic portraits on the doors on both sides.

"Kowtowing to Guangcheng Xuan Ge Lord, Exorcist Iron Mace Lord"

"… the courtyard is solemn and the divine light resides, the windows are peaceful and auspicious… the iron armor drives away the evil spirits and protects the house, the golden whip brings blessings into the hall… the evil spirits are patrolled day and night, and the descendants are protected at dawn and dusk."

Tu Sanyi kept chanting while sprinkling pieces of white rice in his hands.

The white rice fell into the fire and turned into wisps of green smoke and dissipated. It was obviously enjoyed by the gods. No strange phenomenon occurred, and there was no scolding like from the Kitchen God.

Tu Sanyi breathed a sigh of relief.

The door gods are responsible for exorcising evil spirits, avoiding disasters and protecting the home.

If there is no door god in the house, ghosts will definitely come to the house at night and devour the person's heart, liver and spleen.

It’s not that he doesn’t know how powerful it is.

The truth is, there is not much white rice left at home.

Even if he didn't eat or drink, it would be useless, because he couldn't afford white rice on a normal day, and often filled his stomach with wild vegetables and sweet potatoes. If he was lucky, he could catch loaches, grass carps and the like, and after offering most of them to the gods, he could have a little meat, but this was a rare opportunity.

If it were just the Kitchen God, he would work very hard and perhaps be able to grow more food and survive the year.

"Thank you, Gate God, for your generosity..."

Tu Sanyi kowtowed continuously.

This is the method his parents taught him.

It is rumored that Guangcheng Xuan Ge Jun and Quxie Tie Jian Jun were the guards of the Emperor before he became a god. They made many military achievements. After the Emperor became a god, he appointed them as the door gods of the world and they enjoyed endless incense from all over the world.

All the incense offerings from the door gods in the world are enjoyed by these two gods.

That is to say, unlike the kitchen god in Kaoshan Village who has a horse head and a human body, all places with doors are inhabited by incarnations of these two gods, and they generally do not issue decrees.

After bowing to the door god, Tu Sanyi went to the water jar to worship the well god, and went to a piece of land in front of the door to worship the field god and the field god.

These four, the door god, kitchen god, field god and well god, are collectively known as the "Four Gods of the House". Every morning when mortals get up and wash up, the first thing they do is to worship these four gods, and all of them must be done before the sun rises completely.

If you fail to worship a god, or make mistakes during the worship, causing the god to become furious, you will face very terrible consequences.

Tu Sanyi worshipped the four gods one by one with an uneasy mood, and the offerings were all the same amount of white rice.

Perhaps his piety touched the gods, and no gods were displeased afterwards, not even the gods of the field and the well, who had the same unique consciousness as the kitchen god of Kaoshan Village. This moved Tu Sanyi deeply, and he secretly vowed to work hard this year and raise all the offerings to the four gods next year to increase the merits of his deceased parents and have a good rebirth in the next life.

He lit a fire, quickly cooked two sweet potatoes and the wild vegetables he had picked yesterday, then Tu Sanyi went out carrying a hoe.

"Third son, are you going to hoe the fields today?"

Just as I walked out of the house, an old man with wrinkled face came back carrying firewood and greeted me.

This is our neighbor, Mr. Zhou.

Unlike Tu San's family who are all alone, Grandpa Zhou has six sons and a prosperous family. The two families used to be relatively close, but have become much more distant recently. This is probably because they are afraid that Tu San, who has exhausted the family savings, will have to borrow money to hold a grand funeral for his parents.

——In this world, everyone believes that after a family member dies, if they hold a grand funeral for him or her and pray to the four gods, the family member will have a better life in the next life.

Tu Sanyi is such a person, and he is even more stubborn. He held a funeral for his parents that was much more extravagant than others, and borrowed money from all his relatives and friends for this purpose.

"Yes, Master Zhou."

Tu Sanyi was a dull person. He replied and couldn't help but look behind the old man.

Sure enough, he saw a pretty girl with a red rope tied in her hair. She followed behind Grandpa Zhou, holding a branch in her hand as if pretending to do the work.

The girl also looked at Tu Sanyi, her eyes full of disgust, and walked away quickly.

Tu Sanyi glanced at the girl secretly but didn't dare to look at her any further.

This girl is Zhou Xiaocui, the most beautiful woman in Kaoshan Village. She is the only girl among more than a dozen boys in the Zhou family. She has been spoiled since childhood and is loved by many villagers.

The same is true for Tu Sanyi.

When his parents were still alive, he asked them to go over and act as a matchmaker for a girl, but he was immediately kicked out, which made him look like a big joke.

But now his mind has changed.

"We can't afford to raise a girl like this who is spoiled and can't do farm work..."

Tu Sanyi recognized the reality and had his own plan in mind: "My family is poor, and most girls won't look down on me. After working for a few years and saving some food, I can ask the elders in the village to act as a matchmaker for a widow whose husband has died. I should be able to get married, and then I can start a family and let my parents continue to have descendants."

With hope for a better future, he went to the fields and started weeding.

The sun in the sky was scorching, as if it could burn people's skin, but he was unaware of it and worked hard, sweating profusely, looking forward to the harvest.

At this moment, deep in his soul, a consciousness began to awaken.

“This sun is wrong.”

"The sun contains a substance that burns the soul, causing the souls of living beings to evaporate and turn into some kind of substance that floats away. This is why the living beings here do not live beyond the age of fifty."

Jiang Ding watched silently.

What puzzled him was that under such sunlight, a mortal could only last two or three years before dying, so why was he still alive?

If you want to know the answer, just find a random god and search his soul.

But this will bring risks, even if it is only a very small risk, which is unacceptable to him. The number of times he takes action must be limited to one or two times, like the Son of God. At other times, he should not do it himself if he can. This is the principle.

Jiang Ding was not in a hurry.

As time goes by, all the secrets of this world will naturally appear before him.
