Qiu Sheng suddenly jumped up from the bed, sweating profusely, gasping for breath in fear. He touched his neck with both hands and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no tooth hole on his neck.
"Huh~ It turned out to be a nightmare!!"
He wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"That dream just now was so real!!"
Qiu Sheng couldn't help but shudder when he recalled the real feelings in his dream.
If possible, he would never want to experience the horror of being bitten to death and sucked blood by zombies again.
He sat on the bed to calm his breath, looked out the window and saw that it was already dawn, then jumped out of bed, put on his clothes, and went out to wash up.
After a while, Wencai and others also came out of the room.
"I dreamed of Mr. Huang Daogong last night!!"
Wencai said happily: "He gave me a talisman!!"
Jiale said with equal delight, "I had the same dream, and I got an amulet too!!"
As soon as the words fell, the two of them looked at each other. They never thought that they both received the dream message from Huang Daogong at the same time, and both received the amulet bestowed by Huang Daogong.
"Not only you, I also received the amulet given by Huang Daogong."
Qingqing came out holding a washbasin. When she heard the conversation between Wencai and Jiale, she took out the amulet hanging around her neck and showed it to him with a smile.
"Sister Qingqing, I also dreamed of Mr. Huang Daogong last night."
The young prince came out rubbing his sleepy eyes. Seeing the amulet in Qingqing's hand, he happily shared his dream from last night.
After they talked, it turned out that they all entered the Zodiac Temple through their dreams last night and got an amulet from the temple.
Of course, what they said about dreaming about Huang Daogong was not accurate. At most, they just dreamed about the statue of Huang Daogong.
However, even so, it was enough to make them happy.
Wencai and Jiale had witnessed the power of Huang Daogong's amulet with their own eyes and were very happy to have obtained such an amulet.
Qingqing and the little prince both had joyful smiles on their faces.
"You all dreamed of Huang Daogong and received the amulet he bestowed upon you!?"
Qiu Sheng was listening to Wencai and the others talking, and suddenly he felt dizzy as if the sky was falling.
He said with despair, "Why was I the only one who dreamed of Old Master Ren last night and was bitten to death by him?!"
He was the only one in the entire charity cemetery who never dreamed of Huang Daogong.
Is this right!?
"Amitabha, Qiu Sheng, you don't have to worry too much. To be honest, I had no dreams last night, and I didn't dream of Huang Daogong either."
Master Ikkyu saw how depressed Akio was and used himself as an example to comfort him.
In fact, he didn't care that he didn't receive the gift from Huang Daogong. Instead, he was very happy to see his disciple Qingqing get a talisman.
He learned from Wencai and others about the power of Huang Daogong's amulet. Now that his disciple Qingqing has such an amulet, she will no longer have to worry about being harmed by demons and monsters.
Therefore, he was very grateful to Huang Daogong for giving him the amulet.
Uncle Jiu walked out and was slightly startled when he heard Qiu Sheng's words. Then he was delighted. If everyone in the charity cemetery could dream of Huang Daogong, it was impossible for Qiu Sheng not to dream of him.
The only explanation is that Qiu Sheng dreamed about it but didn't realize it.
He recalled the time when Wencai entered the Huangdao Temple for training, and immediately laughed and scolded: "You idiot, you are born with blessings but don't know how to appreciate them. You usually seem quite smart, but when things happen to you, you can't see through them."
"Master, is there any meaning to this dream of mine?!"
Qiu Sheng's eyes lit up.
Uncle Jiu looked at Qiu Sheng's bewildered expression, shook his head and smiled, saying, "If my guess is correct, just like Wencai's earlier prediction, this is a test from Elder Huang Daogong. If you can pass it, perhaps you too will have a great opportunity."
"real!?"
Qiu Sheng's face was filled with joy, and all his previous depression disappeared.
Compared to the amulet, it is more important to obtain the great opportunity bestowed by Mr. Huang Daogong.
Don’t you see that Wencai was given the opportunity by Huang Daogong and instantly transformed himself into a genius in cultivation, and no one dared to look down on him anymore.
Qiu Sheng had long been envious of Wencai's fortune, and now that it was his turn, he was immediately overjoyed.
Jiale looked at Qiusheng with envy as he entered the Huang Daogong probation period. When would this good thing be his turn?!
Uncle Jiu looked at everyone with joy on their faces, and couldn't help but feel moved by Huang Daogong's generosity in giving amulets to everyone.
He just helped Huang Daogong build a Huangdao Temple, but almost everyone in the charity house received rewards from Huang Daogong.
This favor was really hard for him to repay.
From now on, I will bow down and worship Huang Daogong for the rest of my life!
"Ding, incense value +100!"
"Ding, incense value +100!"
"Ding, incense value +100!!"
In the main god space, Huang Dao quickly received the incense value from the charity cemetery. When he saw that the three of Uncle Jiu, his master and his apprentice had all reached the incense value of over a hundred, which was the level of hardcore believers, he smiled.
Sure enough, showing grace is most often the best way to increase the faith of believers.
Now, after rounds of kindness, Uncle Jiu and his two disciples have finally all become his die-hard believers.
Huang Dao's eyes flashed slightly. Uncle Jiu was a disciple of Maoshan Sect. He could use this to infiltrate his influence into the group of Maoshan disciples and gain greater benefits.
Not to mention anything else, just because the Maoshan Taoist priests worshipped his statue, he could obtain priceless fertile land from the rewards in his jurisdiction.
This is of no harm to him.
Chapter 136: Report from the Provincial Capital: Huang Daogong drives the mountain to make horses, pilgrims, and the spread of faith
provincial capital!!
A new day arrives on time.
"Newspapers for sale, newspapers for sale!!".
On the streets, newspaper boys waving freshly printed newspapers shouted, "Today's highlights: the Beijing Railway strike, a shocking scandal in the presidential election... Huang Daogong drives the mountain to make a horse!!"
Amidst all the eye-popping national events, a piece of bizarre news suddenly appeared:
Huang Daogong whips the mountain to drive away the rocks, turning the mountain into a horse!
All the passers-by were startled and subconsciously looked at the newsboy.
In everyone's impression, newspapers from the Republic of China period should be serious, with a mixture of literary and vernacular content, which makes later generations yearn for and trust them.
In fact, this is not the case. In fact, as early as the Republic of China period, newspaper content such as clickbait and anecdotes have always been an important means for newspapers to attract readers.
As early as the Republic of China period, people attached great importance to the creativity of titles, and the so-called "title party" appeared.
Some of these titles are humorous, some are sharp and spicy, and some are puns...
For example, when He Yingqing was a high-ranking official in southern Hunan, he returned to his hometown to sweep the grave of his deceased mother on Qingming Festival. The newspaper headline was "Senior Official He went to Yuelu Mountain to sweep his mother's grave yesterday."
During the Republican era, prices soared while wages stagnated. Newspaper headlines reporting on this phenomenon included titles like "Civil servants aren't worth anything—even if they were, their prices should rise!" and "Prices easily drive people away, thinning sesame cakes and making fried dough sticks thinner."
Some local newspapers, due to their lack of interviews and reports on major news, are unable to compete with newspapers with a strong foundation. They can only make a big fuss about local authorities' announcements, social developments, theft and robbery cases, interesting stories about famous performing artists, curious social news, cults and folk customs, civil conflicts and lawsuits, etc., and strive to become leisure reading materials for the ordinary people.
The newspapers would describe in detail and highlight the bizarre incidents of murder, fire, major theft, fraud, cults and folk customs that were reported from informants at the police station, court or in the community, in order to create a sensation and attract readers, thereby expanding the newspaper's circulation.
In order to increase the appeal of newspapers, some newspapers even go so far as to sacrifice accuracy.
At that time, some people in the newspaper industry believed that the more thrilling and bizarre the story was, the more newsworthy it was.
This led to the frequent appearance of unconventional social news headlines in some local newspapers during the Republic of China period, many of which were simply to cater to the curiosity of the general public.
Publishers of various local newspapers also often provide sales guidance to newspaper sellers by reminding them of the key points of the day's newspaper content.
So in the streets or near the scene where the news happens, you can hear the sound of people selling newspapers in a sensational and exaggerated manner.
So, please stop saying that modern "news is dead".
In fact, news was already "dead" as early as the Republic of China period.
In other words, exaggerated and sensational reports have always been a problem with newspapers.
It is not a modern phenomenon.
It was in this atmosphere that the seemingly feudal and superstitious news of Huang Daogong driving the mountain into a horse was published in the provincial newspapers.
When the newspaper boys shouted the news of "Huang Daogong driving the mountain to make a horse", it really attracted some ordinary citizens to buy a newspaper and read it for entertainment.
They looked at the detailed report on "Huang Daogong Driving the Mountain to Make Horses" in the newspaper and the series of photos on it.
In the photo, one can only see hills moving to make way, lining up on both sides waiting, and then a hill striding through the mountains and finally stopping at the entrance of the village.
The Zodiac Temple on the hill is clearly visible!!
These photos are arranged in a series, like a comic strip, one link after another, fully showing the magnificent scene of Huang Daogong driving the mountain like a horse.
Citizens were amazed at the connected photos.
Most of them do not believe that such a miracle exists in the world. They just think that it is a piece of bizarre news fabricated by someone using technology to take photos.
However, it must be said that this piece of bizarre news is very fascinating because the photos are like comic strips.
Huang Daogong's name was also imprinted in their hearts all of a sudden, just waiting for things to ferment in the future and detonate the memories in their hearts.
However, although most people laughed off this bizarre news, a small number of people believed it firmly.
In any era, there are always many people who are deceived into buying "health products".
As soon as these people saw the content in the news newspaper, they immediately developed faith in Huang Daogong, a god who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and had great supernatural powers.
Some people even went to Renjia Town to make a pilgrimage and worship Huang Daogong.
……
Qijiaxiangtang.
Qi Tiezui opened the door to welcome customers as usual, sitting in the old tea camp sipping tea and waiting for business to come.
When he heard the newsboy outside the door shouting the news report of "Huang Daogong drives the mountain to make horses", he immediately sat up under the surprised gaze of the waiter Xiaoman, rushed out of the door and waved to the newsboy, "Kid, give me a newspaper!!"
"Chenghui, two cents!"
Qi Tiezui took out two one-cent copper coins and stuffed them into the newsboy's pocket. He picked up the newspaper and started reading. His eyes fell directly on the report "Huang Daogong Whips the Mountain to Drive Away the Stones, Turning the Mountain into a Horse!"
He looked at the photo of hills being driven into formation to welcome the passing of the hill where the Zodiac Temple was located, and his pupils shrank.
He was not like those ignorant petty citizens. He had heard of the name of Huang Daogong a long time ago and had asked people to inquire about him privately. He knew a lot about the miracles left by Huang Daogong.
But he never imagined that when he heard news about Huang Daogong again, it was in the newspaper.
Moreover, this time Huang Daogong whipped the mountain, drove away the rocks, and drove away the hills in full view of everyone.
The scenes of supernatural powers displayed in the photos really brought great shock and excitement to his little heart.
"This great god Huang Daogong is truly extraordinary!!"
Qi Tiezui pushed his glasses up and muttered to himself.
Huang Daogong had only been in the public eye for a short time, but news and beliefs about him had already spread to the provincial capital.
He had a premonition that it wouldn't be long before Huang Daogong's faith would spread like wildfire to the provincial capital, setting off a wave of faith in the city.
After all, Huang Daogong is not a god who just eats and does nothing, but a real god with great supernatural powers and extremely effective.
As long as people realize this, spreading the belief in Huang Daogong will be as easy as drinking water.
Even without much propaganda from others, people will spontaneously believe in Huang Daogong.
Qi Tiezui looked at the photo of the Huangdao Temple in the newspaper and sighed, "Things are going to change."
at the same time.
In Ren Tingting's small courtyard.
Xiaolian went out to buy groceries. When she heard the newsboy's call, her face immediately lit up with joy. She paid for a newspaper and happily brought it back to Ren Tingting, "Miss, Master Huang Daogong has performed another miracle. Look, it's in the newspaper."
"real!?"
Ren Tingting's face lit up with joy. She took the newspaper and took a look. Looking at the report and photos showing Huang Daogong's great supernatural powers like moving mountains and filling the sea, she was overjoyed.
