The officials of the human world worship the gods of the underworld,
Just like an emperor worshiping Buddha,
Not necessarily believe it, but just for peace of mind.
Wang Zhe stood outside the Chenghuang Temple, observing quietly.
The people who were worshiping were much more pious. Wang Qian looked at it with the "Qi Watching Technique" and saw only a little bit of light flying out from the people who were worshiping and blending into the clay statue of the City God.
"He is absorbing the incense and will power of the people."
People compete for a breath, Buddha competes for a stick of incense.
Some incense gods became gods by accumulating people's wishes.
In the eyes of everyone, the City God statue was high and majestic, and they did not dare to look at it.
In Wang Zhe's eyes, the colors on this clay sculpture seemed to be a bit brighter than those seen two days ago, as if they had just been repainted.
"Is it possible that this clay sculpture can also become a god?"
People come and go,
Wang Zhe observed carefully outside, and everyone who came out of the Chenghuang Temple would have a happy and satisfied smile on their face.
It looked as if the City God had heard their wishes and promised to fulfill them.
Among them were the officials from the Yamen. Lao Hou, who came out of the Chenghuang Temple, saw Wang Zhe outside and immediately stepped forward.
"Azhe, have you gone in to pay homage to the City God? I feel that the City God is particularly effective this year. I feel that he has heard my wish." Lao Hou said excitedly.
"Wish you to have a fat boy?" Wang Zhe said with a smile.
Well, well, Lao Hou nodded, and Sun Xiulian on the side lowered her head in shame.
"The city god has appeared!"
A shout suddenly came from the Chenghuang Temple.
Wang Zhe hurriedly looked inside and saw that the City God's Temple in the main hall was actually emitting a colorful glow.
The people inside Guo Beicheng immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the ground one by one.
Even some people who had left the City God's Temple knelt on the ground. Wang Zhe's assistant and Sun Xiulian also knelt on the ground.
"The city god bless you, the city god bless you!"
Among the crowd, Wang Zhe was the only one standing there, neither kneeling nor worshiping, standing out from the crowd and standing out from the crowd.
"Azhe, please kneel down and ask the City God for blessing!" Hou Zhu at the side tugged on his clothes.
"A spirit has appeared?!" Wang Zhe stood on the spot and used the "Qi Watching Technique" to look towards the City God's Temple.
I saw a vague figure in the glow. It seemed to be wearing a red robe similar to the one on the statue of the City God, but I couldn't see the appearance clearly.
He looked at the shadow, and the shadow seemed to be looking at him,
Look at him, the only one who doesn’t kneel down and worship!
The colorful rays of light dissipated in just a moment, and the shadow of the city god also disappeared, leaving only the light of incense outside.
Even if you use the "Qi Watching Technique", you can't see anything.
However, the devout people still knelt on the ground, and more people flocked to the City God's Temple and worshiped the City God. Some of these people had just worshiped the City God.
On the way back, they heard the appearance of the city god and rushed back to worship again. They were extremely pious.
"Is it possible that there really is a city god? Or..." Wang Zhe thought of the black energy from two nights ago.
"I hope I'm overthinking it." He looked at the statue of the City God being worshiped by everyone in the temple amid the curls of green smoke.
"You know, the City God just appeared. I saw it with my own eyes. You should really go worship the City God!"
"I say that every time I come back."
"It's true this time. I'm not the only one who saw it. If you don't believe me, just ask Lao Li, he's there too!"
"It's true. I saw it too. He was wearing a red robe and was surrounded by colorful rays of light."
"Where are you going in such a hurry?"
"Go and worship the City God."
"Didn't you just go there?"
"Azheyou should really go in and pay homage to the City God."
...
On this day, the biggest thing that happened in Guo Beicheng was the appearance of the city god. In less than a day, this incident spread throughout the nearby villages and towns, and people came to worship one after another.
Until dark, there were still people coming and going in the Chenghuang Temple, and there was a constant flow of incense.
Wang Zhe stood outside the City God's Temple for a long time, observing for a long time, looking at the people kneeling devoutly, but the City God did not appear again.
But the incense power on the statue of the City God was many times stronger than when he saw it a few nights ago.
If that night he was just covered with a thin layer of gauze, then the current City God is covered with a thick layer of quilt, a quilt made of the power of incense and wish.
Back home, he was still thinking about it.
There are mountain spirits and wild monsters in this world. He has seen them before, and they can be considered monsters.
"Is it possible that there really are gods in this world?"
At night, after practicing, Wang Zhe stood on a high place and looked at the City God Temple.
It was already night, and there were still people going to worship. The light of the incense from the statue of the City God was so rich that it seemed to be substantial. Wang Zhe could detect it even without using the "Qi Watching Technique".
Next, for seven consecutive days, there was a constant flow of incense in the Chenghuang Temple.
The city god's appearance became more and more mysterious,
Then, something even more magical happened,
A lame old man in his sixties in the city came to the City God's Temple to serve as a temple blessing. He said that the City God entrusted him with dreams at night.
People who came here to worship and pray were quickly cured of their illnesses, businessmen made a fortune, and lost things were found...
One after another, everything shows the efficaciousness of the City God.
Wang Zhe watched with his own eyes a couple carrying a seriously ill child into the City God's Temple to pray. After kneeling down to worship the City God, the temple priest took a piece of talisman paper and a bowl of water, lit the talisman paper, and the burned ashes dissolved in the temple. Put it in a bowl of water and give it to the child.
With the blessing of "Qi Watching Technique", Wang Zhe saw a faint light shining in the bowl of water.
The child's complexion improved significantly after taking the talisman water, and the ominous gray aura on his body also subsided.
"Does this really work?"
Wang Zhe had heard rumors about Fu Shui's treatment before, but now he saw it with his own eyes.
"Is it really so effective?" Wang Zhe glanced at the City God's Temple.
The couple was extremely grateful to the City God.
Soon, there was another rumor in the City God's Temple: the City God was efficacious and the talisman water package could cure all diseases.
People spread the word of mouth, so the incense will naturally become more prosperous.
Not only people from Guobei County, but also people from nearby counties came here.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
On the next day, Lao Hou happily ran to Wang Zhe's side.
"Azhe, Xiulian is pregnant, and I'm going to be a father!" Lao Hou looked excited.
"congratulations."
Wang Zhe saw him looking happy a few days ago, but he didn't say much at the time.
"This City God is so efficacious. If you have any wishes, Azhe, go and pay homage to the City God. He will surely help you realize it."
"He can't satisfy my wish." Wang Zhe said with a smile.
"What are your wishes? Do you still want to be a county magistrate?"
"I want to live forever."
"This kid, I'm talking to you about business!"
"I also mean it sincerely."
"You, hurry up and find a wife, so that you don't have to think about things all day long and lose your integrity!" Lao Hou glared at him.
