"Since this is not a strange thing, it's just an ordinary way to ask for medicine and cure diseases. Why don't you explain it clearly to them and insist on making it magical? Isn't this a waste of effort? If it's not to pretend to be a magician to defraud money, why bother with it? ." Song Siyuan didn't understand. Tian Liumei's medical skills were amazing. If she opened a medical clinic, she might become a famous doctor in eight villages in ten miles. However, she had to treat diseases under the guise of a goddess. This made her curious.
"Yaomei'er, you are not a country person, and you don't know the difficulties of country women." Tian Liumei sighed and explained helplessly: "Country people don't believe in doctors and ghosts. If you are a doctor, you still have to talk to them. Explain, what disease you have, what medicine you need to take, or how to treat it. They don’t have time to understand these. They won’t believe you if you tell them too much. Instead, they say you are trying to defraud money.” She pursed her lips and took a deep breath. : "Then the disease can only be eliminated in the name of ghosts and gods by reciting mantras to exorcise ghosts. In this way, for them, as long as the ghosts and gods on their bodies are eliminated, the disease will be cured. They cannot accept that they are sick, but If I can accept that I have offended certain gods, then I can only pretend to be a goddess and cure diseases in the name of ghosts and gods."
"Of course, I didn't become a goddess for this reason at all. There is another reason, which is related to my safety." Tian Liumei mentioned this point quite helplessly: "When I came to Baixiong Ridge, there were only a few people around me. Outside the Imperial Concubine Temple, there were no houses at all. There were weeds and dead vines all around. At night, there were all kinds of wild beasts outside the temple. Even though I was older at that time, I was afraid of such movements. I had to tighten my grip as soon as the sun set. The temple door is closed, and we don’t even dare to stay in the courtyard, so we can only lock the hall door.”
"At that time, even if I really opened a medical clinic in Tangmen, who would be willing to come? An unmarried woman in this barren mountain has to avoid suspicion. If someone really comes to me, then I will I have to be afraid. I am alone. As long as someone wants to harm me, I will not survive no matter how prepared I am. Until one night, there is a knock on the door..." Granny Tian still remembers that night after many years. After eating the tribute, he locked the hospital door and knocked on the door. Just when he was about to curl up in a corner to rest, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Tian Liumei was only in her thirties at the time, alone in the barren mountains. How could she not be afraid? She immediately picked up the iron rod used to comb the ashes of the statue in front of each other and slowly walked to the door.
"Who?"
"Who is it?" Tian Liumei asked loudly several times in a row, but there was no response. She only heard the knocking on the door becoming more frequent, and even turned into a banging on the door.
When Tian Liumei saw this, it was obvious that a living person was outside. She was so frightened that she quickly yelled at the mysterious man who refused to speak out.
That night, Tian Liumei thought that she would never survive the accident. She knelt in front of the statue of the imperial concubine for several hours without daring to get up. She kept praying to the statue, asking the imperial concubine to save her life. If she could survive the night, I will always keep the temple clean and tidy throughout my life.
I don’t know if the prayers had an effect, but gunshots suddenly rang out outside the yard. Someone yelled at the mysterious man, and then the strange knocking on the door stopped.
When Tian Liumei went out and took a look, the thing that fell in front of her door was not a living person. It was clearly a black monkey that was stronger than a burly man. It looked like a human being, and he was still wearing unknown clothes. Where the dead man's shroud was pulled out, it can be seen that the black monkey has become a spirit and is ready to dig graves.
The person who fired the gun was a hunter who was patrolling the mountains at night nearby. According to what the hunter said, Yongming is near Guangxi, and there are many rugged wild mountains, caves and peaks. There are indeed giant monkeys pretending to be humans and knocking on the hunter’s door in the forest. , if someone opens the door unprepared, they will basically be dragged back by the wild monkey and made into food.
At the end of the day, Orion cut off the head of the monkey and gave it to Tian Liumei. He bluntly said that monkeys are smart and will not come when they realize the danger when they see heads of the same kind. As long as they hang their heads on the stakes in front of the door, what kind of wild monkeys are they? They didn't dare to come over.
Tian Liumei was grateful, but she also breathed a sigh of relief. If the person who came was really a living person, and she opened the door unprepared, she didn't know what would happen.
She turned back to look at the Imperial Concubine, and a tear suddenly flowed out of the statue's eyes, sliding down her cheeks as if crying. Although it was because of dew dripping from the tiles, Tian Liumei could feel that the Imperial Concubine had really appeared. Otherwise, how could there be hunters hunting horses and monkeys at night in the barren mountains and wild mountains?
After this incident, Tian Liumei also understood some truth. She was alone now. If she encountered danger today, she might be able to wait for rescue. Could it be that she could be rescued every time she encountered danger?
Instead of relying on others, it is better to save yourself. From then on, Tian Liumei began to dress up like an old woman. At the same time, she also deliberately became talkative. Whenever someone came to offer incense, she would claim that it was the imperial concubine's will to save people. She could channel spirits and dream. If anyone respected her , then you can get the blessing of the imperial concubine. If someone offends her, the imperial concubine will be angry and her bad luck will start from the ancestral grave.
Tian Liumei has excellent medical skills. Under the bluffing skin of the goddess, she can gain the trust of the people. The people who are cured by her are equivalent to giving her a reputation. Her reputation as a spiritual healer became more and more popular, and of course, she went from a down-and-out woman to a goddess respected by everyone in the ten miles and eight villages.
This identity is the biggest reliance to truly protect her safety! In the past, she was just a thief who had returned from serving her sentence. Anyone who wanted to bully her could bully her. Even if she died in the temple, the local government would not hold anyone accountable. They drove her to White Bear Ridge, originally to let her fend for herself. Suicide, if anyone really dares to do anything to her, it will be her own fault.
Becoming a goddess is different. Rural people worship and worship gods, and they are respectful to any gods and never neglect them. However, any goddess who can channel spirits is almost equivalent to a living god in the countryside. Any villager who sees it must respectfully ask Well, even if you ask for help from the Goddess, you will have to offer whatever good things you have at home.
All in all, if they want something from the goddess, they must respect and fear the goddess. In addition, the goddess can channel spirits, and offending the goddess may mean offending the gods. If there is no accident, they will not even have the thought of being negligent.
Now that Tian Liumei has become a goddess, no one dares to look down upon her anymore. Her magical powers and virtues are considered to be among the best among the villagers. If she were to be killed, everyone would be stabbed in the spine.
At the same time, the more effective she is, the more people will come to White Bear Ridge, and the more people come to see her, the more she will be able to accumulate popularity. In places where there are many people, some things must be restrained in speaking and doing. It was impossible to do whatever she wanted. If someone made things difficult for her, she would have to weigh Tian Liumei's weight.
Ordinary savages, no matter how evil they may do, will not bully the gods. As long as they dare not dare to face such obstacles in their hearts, Tian Liumei will be able to stay safe.
