I was a god in the 18th century

Xia Qingdai returned to her room and continued to lie by the glass tank to look at the wild pictures. This was an unknown place, full of freshness, and it also stimulated her passion for infrastructure construction.

The first thing was to build a temple to shelter the statue from the elements, and she had plenty of that in stock.

Although she was basically floating on the sea during her sophomore year and could no longer sell silk skirts, she still had the songs written by Irving and Mozart in her hands, and she could make a lot of money by selling one or two of them.

She has made a name for herself in the modern music world by using Mozart and Irving as her own guns. Every piece she sells becomes a hit, and it can be said that it is very popular and appeals to both the elite and the masses.

Therefore, now she no longer has to work hard to sell songs, but people come to her and invite her to sing.

Xia Qingdai would take any job that offered better conditions. It didn't matter that she couldn't write, and it didn't matter that Mozart was far away, because she always had Irving, who was a great writer of pop songs, by her side!

In other words, she has always refused to use her real name or show her face, otherwise, with her talent and beauty, she would have become famous a long time ago.

Xia Qingdai certainly didn't want to disclose her real information, after all, her current fame came from Mozart and Irving. She could be an "art carrier", but she didn't have the nerve to stand under the spotlight, tell lies and enjoy the flattery of others.

This is a digression, so let's not talk about it for now. Anyway, Xia Qingdai is not short of money anymore, so when she sees the various mini models recommended to her by shopping websites, she will buy them and put them in the locker in the cloakroom for emergency use.

Mini buildings are the most collected items. She has all kinds of models of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, courtyard houses, ancient castles, etc.

At this time, she took out a brick and wood structure model of the Wuye Temple in Mount Wutai from the locker.

It can be used to place the statue without losing its dignity and it looks quite impressive.

This temple is magnificent, with double-eaved hip roofs, three-bay halls, four corridors, five ridges and six beasts, a hall in front of the hall, and a curved porch. The column bases, sparrow tops, lintels, brackets, arch eyes, etc. are carved with dragons, phoenixes, lions, unicorns and other beautiful patterns. The beams are carved and the buildings are painted, with details in place. Even the steps are carved with exquisite patterns. It is almost a one-to-one replica of the Wuye Temple in Wutai Mountain.

Even though it was just a model, Xia Qingdai had spent nearly ten thousand dollars on it, so she was reluctant to put it on the market easily.

Now that she had seen this miraculous statue, she decided to decorate the Wuye Temple and use it as her other base. Of course, the plaques with the words "Dragon King" engraved on the front and back halls must not be kept, so it was left to Wen Renyi to have someone re-carve them.

In the future, with Owen and the statue, she can travel between ancient Europe and the Qing Dynasty. It’s a wonderful thought.

While Xia Qingdai was sitting cross-legged on a blanket in front of the bay window and building a temple model, the little people below were busy with their own things.

Owen was invited by Staunton and Macartney to attend a salon to discuss how to deal with the etiquette dispute with the Qing Dynasty.

Wen Renyi was digesting what he had seen today as the living "ancestor god", and was holding a meeting in the village to educate everyone.

Wen Renyi would not personally take part in the brainwashing and stand at the forefront, because he was not good at speaking. This kind of thing was always handed over to his deputy, the young man Hong Yansong, who was also his military advisor. Wen Renyi was responsible for leading everyone to worship in religious activities.

By the time Xia Qingdai had almost finished building the Wuye Temple, the brainwashing meeting on the wild map below had also been started, and the crowd gathered in the open space was dispersing in twos and threes.

The people living in the mountain village are basically mountain dwellers and refugees who have abandoned their registered residence due to desperation, as well as members of the Wen family who escaped from Gusu.

The replenishment of daily necessities for so many people was mainly carried out through Taohua Village at the foot of the mountain which was under their control.

Since ancient times, imperial power has never extended to the countryside. As long as the head of the village does not report it actively, the county magistrate will not be able to find out the situation here at all. Even if he finds out, he will not bring a few yamen runners to attack the stronghold. Most of the time, he will turn a blind eye.

As long as the people in the mountain village do not openly declare themselves king and rebel, the county magistrate really does not want to pay attention to such a poor mountain village.

At this time, Xia Qingdai held the Wuye Temple with both hands and looked at the wild picture in the corner of the glass tank. The stone statue was still standing in the center of the wild picture. She carefully placed the Wuye Temple right behind the stone statue, stirring up a cloud of dust.

When he was about to move the stone statue with his bare hands, he saw Wen Renyi who appeared in front of the hall at the first moment. Seeing his appearance, Xia Qingdai's eyes turned and she turned into an invisible little man and landed next to the stone statue.

As soon as he landed, Wen Renyi next to him looked over, his hand still on the hilt of the knife, his brows slightly furrowed.

Xia Qingdai met Wen Renyi's sharp gaze and felt uncomfortable with his gaze as if it were real. She even felt that he could see her.

She asked him, "Can you see me?"

Wen Renyi's eyes didn't change as he stared at her, obviously he couldn't hear her.

Xia Qingdai took two steps towards him, and the latter drew out a knife, the blade gleamed fiercely and was chilling.

The young man who has been living on the edge of a knife for years is very vigilant.

Xia Qingdai was afraid that she would be accidentally injured by his sword energy, so she quickly mobilized a little power of faith and showed up: "It's me."

"Qiang!"

Wen Renyi put away his knife and silently saluted Xia Qingdai.

Xia Qingdai turned around and pushed open the door of the front hall of the Five Gods Temple, and walked in first. Then she turned around and smiled at Wen Renyi who was standing there: "This hall is used to worship the stone statue. I will make some noise later, you cooperate with me."

"Yes, please allow me to burn incense and bathe first."

It's fun to work with smart people. It works just by one click. Xia Qingdai touched Xiao Qiong's nose and said with a smile, "Okay."

She wanted to absorb the power of faith here continuously, so she naturally couldn't just move the stone statue into the temple casually. She had to make some noise to make the effort worthwhile.

To invite the gods back to their places, of course there must be a sense of ritual!

Wen Renyi left her sight after paying his respects. It seemed that his residence was not nearby.

Xia Qingdai returned to the modern era and took out a large white smoke sheet that could create fog. This thing is often used in film and television dramas and fire drills. It produces a lot of smoke but little odor.

She broke off a small piece of smoke cake and put it into the "temple" which still had its roof open.

After a while, Wen Renyi, who had jumped into the pool nearby for a quick bath, came over with Hong Yansong and others.

This time he didn't have a knife in his hand, but a bunch of incense.

The other people who followed Wen Renyi here were really stunned when they saw the "temple" that appeared out of nowhere.

"This, this... My Lord, am I dazzled? Why do I feel like there is an extra temple here?!"

"Oh, yes, yes, I saw that too."

"And me, I saw it too."

Everyone looked up at the temple, put their hands together and talked to the people around them, their hearts were shocked beyond words. (End of this chapter)
