Zombie World, I am a wild god in Renjia Town

But once the belief in Huang Daogong spreads, their charity home may directly lose a source of income.

Uncle Jiu had a strange look on his face. "If Huang Daogong wants to grab the business, then let him. After all, there's a lot of money to be made helping people subdue demons and monsters."

What he said is quite right. It's not like supernatural events happen every day, so how could there be so much business coming in?

In fact, the money they earned from helping people exorcise demons and monsters was not much, far less than what they earned from helping people with feng shui.

Huang Daogong can’t possibly also help people with Feng Shui, right?!

Moreover, they can get a sum of money from the town every year to subsidize all matters related to the charity cemetery.

After all, the charity cemetery was established by the government, and the master and apprentice were only responsible for guarding and managing it.

Therefore, Huang Daogong's action had little impact on their charity cemetery.

Wencai and Qiusheng exchanged a look of surprise. "Master, something's wrong with you. Given your usual stingy nature, how could you not care about losing this much money?!"

Uncle Jiu stood with his hands behind his back and said righteously, "What do you know? Your master has always been a man of high moral character. Huang Daogong is willing to help the villagers solve their problems. This is a great thing. How could your master resent it?!"

Although he said this, he was muttering in his heart that ever since Huang Daogong appeared, he had received several generous wages from the Ren family.

Moreover, it is foreseeable that he will be able to get more generous rewards from the Ren family and other pilgrims who worship Huang Daogong.

So, Huang Daogong is almost like the God of Wealth to him.

How could he have any complaints against Huang Daogong?

Besides, what he just said was the truth. As a disciple of Maoshan, he took it as his responsibility to subdue demons and monsters.

If Huang Daogong could protect the safety of the residents of Renjia Town and kill the evil spirits that invaded Renjia Town, he would not have time to applaud, let alone feel any resentment.

"My fellow villagers, please listen to me."

Master Ren took over his daughter's words. He looked around at everyone and said with a smile, "My family has been protected by Huang Daogong time and time again. I, Ren Fa, am also a person who knows how to repay kindness, so I want to repay Huang Daogong for his kindness to our Ren family."

"At the same time, as a member of Renjia Town, I also want to do something practical for our Renjia Town."

"Zhuang Daogong told me in a dream that Renjia Town is in danger of invasion by evil spirits. I personally don't want anything to happen to Renjia Town, or to anyone here, so I think I can't just sit back and do nothing."

"I, Ren Fa, have made this known. Any family that worships Huang Daogong will receive a portion of rice from my Ren Mansion. At the same time, I will invite skilled craftsmen from the town to make a statue of Huang Daogong, and then have Uncle Jiu consecrate it. Then, I will build temples for Huang Daogong in the streets and alleys of the town, and worship Huang Daogong. I hope Huang Daogong will bless our Renjia Town with peace and prosperity."

"it is good!!"

"Master Ren is kind and righteous!"

When the people below heard that they could receive rice as a reward for offering sacrifices to Huang Daogong, they immediately gave Mr. Ren a warm round of applause with joy.

Master Ren looked at the people below who kept complimenting him, and his face suddenly lit up with joy.

Although his Ren family has declined somewhat in recent years, as the local emperor of Renjia Town, it is still more than enough to provide a supply of rice.

Moreover, even if he could not provide the money, he could still compensate in other ways, such as collecting less rent from the land or the shop next year.

Some knowledgeable people below listened to Master Ren's speech and looked puzzled. Why did this move seem so familiar?!

Isn’t this the “egg-throwing” tactic often used by foreign missionaries when preaching in the country?!

When foreign missionaries entered a country to preach, they would usually win over the local gentry, and then borrow money from the local gentry to give small favors to the common people so that the common people would believe in their God.

This tactic has been proven effective in the country, allowing churches to gather a large number of "believers" in a short period of time.

It can be predicted that under Mr. Ren’s magical operation, the number of Huang Daogong’s “believers” will likely increase dramatically.

Moreover, unlike God who simply distributes eggs, Zodiac God really appears to save people from suffering.

This makes it easier for Huang Daogong to gain faith and attract believers among the people than for God.

Could this be the legendary "learning from the barbarians to defeat them"?

Chapter 36: Huang Daogong is the God of Wealth, and the Trend of Welcoming the God

"Master, will Renjia Town really be invaded by evil spirits as Huang Daogong said?!"

Wencai asked Uncle Jiu with some concern.

Their charity cemetery deals with corpses all year round, making it the easiest place to attract evil spirits.

As the caretaker of the charity cemetery, he had to worry.

Uncle Jiu frowned slightly, "Since Huang Daogong warned us in a dream, there's a high probability that some evil spirits are targeting our Renjia Town."

Some things flashed through his mind and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Master, should we also take a tablet of Huang Daogong back to worship and ask for his protection?"

Qiu Sheng reiterated his previous proposal.

Wencai agreed repeatedly, "Master, Senior Brother is right, we should get a tablet of Huang Daogong back to worship."

There are three ways to worship gods, namely, offering statues, portraits and ancestral tablets.

Among them, the production period of ancestral tablets is the shortest.

You just need to take a piece of yang wood, carve the name of the god you want to worship on it, and then ask someone to consecrate it.

Uncle Jiu thought for a moment after hearing this, then slowly nodded, "We can indeed ask for a tablet of Huang Daogong to be enshrined in a good family, and use his divine power to deter the evil spirits we have subdued over the years."

The charity cemetery is not just a charity cemetery, it is also Uncle Jiu’s Taoist temple.

Because Uncle Jiu had straight eyebrows, his master gave him the Taoist name Yimei.

Yizhuang is his Yimei Taoist temple, and it is also one of the resting places for corpse-driving teams that travel all over the country. Corpse-driving teams often stay in Yizhuang to rest all year round.

In the charity cemetery, in addition to the morgue, there is also the ancestral hall, the Lingying Hall for worshipping spirit babies, and the House of Good Deeds for sealing evil spirits.

The place where accidents are most likely to happen is a house that has done good deeds. If you are not careful, an evil spirit may break the seal and escape.

Therefore, it is very necessary to ask a true god to go back and suppress all the evil spirits.

"Uncle Nine!"

Just as they were discussing, Master Ren came over with Ren Tingting, smiling broadly, and bowed to Uncle Jiu, "I have a favor to ask of you."

"Master Ren, please speak."

Uncle Jiu's heart moved, and he guessed what Master Ren meant.

As expected, Master Ren said with a smile, "I intend to establish temples dedicated to Huang Daogong in various blocks of Renjia Town to pray for his protection and safety. Therefore, I would like to ask you to help preside over the consecration ceremony when the time comes."

Uncle Jiu naturally wouldn't refuse this opportunity to make money and do good deeds. "Master Ren, don't worry, I will help you with the consecration."

Look, the God of Wealth Huang Daogong has brought him another opportunity to make a fortune.

Moreover, he could foresee that as the news of Huang Daogong's efficacy spread, there would definitely be many people asking him to consecrate their deities.

This income is much more than that earned from exorcising demons and monsters, and most importantly, it is safe.

It's like making money while sitting back.

"As for the matter of helping Huang Daogong build a temple and a shrine, Uncle Jiu, if you are capable, please do more work and take on more responsibilities. Don't worry about the reward. We in the Ren family are not stingy people."

"sure."

Uncle Jiu's face was calm, but he was overjoyed in his heart. He thought that Huang Daogong was truly the God of Wealth and must bless him with endless wealth.

"Tingting, the way you spoke just now was no less impressive than the storyteller in the teahouse. You spoke so beautifully."

Wencai scratched his head, smiled foolishly and praised Ren Tingting.

Qiu Sheng also gave Ren Tingting a thumbs up, "Wencai is right, Tingting, you are as brave as a man. If you were in the past, you could have been a female general as described in operas."

“Thank you for the compliments!!”

Ren Tingting smiled sweetly, and her youthful and beautiful appearance almost made Wencai look like a pig.

……

Time passed little by little.

Ren Fa's speech in front of the Huang Daogong Temple spread throughout the entire Renjia Town in less than half a day due to the spread of information by people with ulterior motives, immediately causing many people to become agitated.

Offering sacrifices to Huang Daogong can earn you rice! ?

There is such a good thing! ?

Many people who were almost penniless and could barely make ends meet were overjoyed and eagerly waited to welcome Huang Daogong, and then go to Renjia Town to receive rice to improve their lives.

Therefore, under the encouragement of Mr. Ren, Renjia Town ushered in a wave of welcoming the tablet of Huang Daogong.

Huang Dao also heard Master Ren's speech in the temple. To be honest, if ordinary people worship his statues, portraits or ancestral tablets without consecrating them, he would not receive any value from the incense offerings.

After all, the unconsecrated statue has no connection with him, so how can he receive offerings from it?

However, there is also a benefit to Mr. Ren's actions, which is to spread his beliefs and help him lay a good foundation of faith in Renjia Town.

Besides, it’s not like he couldn’t collect incense points all the time.

There are three common ways to consecrate a statue:

The first thing is naturally to ask a master to perform a consecration.

The second is that the gods themselves come down and use their own divine power to help consecrate the statue.

The third is that believers offer sacrifices all year round. Under the nourishment of incense over the years, the statue will naturally be consecrated and will also gain some additional magical effects.

When people come to worship his ancestral tablets, they must walk before his statue. He can use the art of divination to observe the fate of the believers and personally help to consecrate the tablets according to the circumstances, thereby expanding his jurisdiction and attracting believers.

It’s not that he doesn’t want everything in the basket, but his divine power is too low to take care of everyone, so he can only pick and choose.

Good people, consecrate!

For traveling merchants and travelers passing by, consecrate!

For those who are surrounded by evil spirits, consecrate them!

Most of the ancestral tablets worshipped by the people are carved by themselves and look very rough. Some are gray clay statues made by craftsmen themselves.

When Huang Dao saw the various statues and tablets placed in front of his statue, he not only did not feel disgusted, but felt a sense of joy. This proved that his faith was expanding step by step, penetrating into the grassroots and among the people.

The general public is the most solid group of believers.

If Huang Dao wants to obtain a large amount of incense value, he must make the common people believe in him.

Now, he has finally taken the first step to visit ordinary people's homes, striving to have every household worship him as soon as possible.

Chapter 37: He did a lot of evil, and the tablet of Huang Daogong exploded

"Ding, incense value +30!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for acquiring a new territory - the Li Dafu family. As a reward, I will give you 100 kilograms of high-yield rice seeds!"

"Ding, incense value +50!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for acquiring a new territory - Zhang San's family. Amulet x100 is a reward!"

"Ding, incense value..."

With Huang Dao's help in the consecration and the people's welcome, his territory suddenly increased dramatically and he received many rewards from it.

These rewards are simple and closely related to the lives and safety of the people.

At the same time, any family whose house has been blessed by Huang Dao will inevitably dream of Huang Dao visiting their home when they fall asleep at night.

When they woke up the next day, they couldn't help but share their strange dream with their neighbors.

Considering that the Ren family welcomed Huang Daogong into the family at that time, everyone in the Ren family dreamed of Huang Daogong's visit.

They immediately realized that the true god Huang Daogong had come to their home.

And as they shared their thoughts, they were surprised to find that many people had dreamed of Huang Daogong himself visiting their homes.

This means that they are all families blessed and protected by the Zodiac God.

They thought that since the appearance of Huang Daogong, the Ren family had opened their granaries to distribute grain to help the people, and also allowed the people to offer sacrifices to Huang Daogong in exchange for a portion of rice.

Isn’t this the blessing bestowed by Huang Daogong?!

Thinking in this way, they believed in Huang Daogong more and more and took the initiative to spread Huang Daogong's kindness.

As a result, this strange thing of dreaming about Huang Daogong entering the house spread from one person to another and became a hot topic in Renjia Town.

Some people who also worship Huang Daogong but have never dreamed of him couldn't help but feel suspicious, as they seemed to have not received Huang Daogong's protection.

When they thought about their own situation and the bad things they had done, they couldn't help but feel terrified.
