Chapter 141: [First Believer]
...
When Zhang Shitou heard this, the one who talked to him should be the tallest and largest white tree in the woods.
After a while, there was no sound. Zhang Shitou asked several times, but there was no sound. He knew that the appearance of the divine tree had passed.
He was very excited, but he didn't expect that he would see God appear and become God's first believer!
Finally, he waited until dawn, and immediately walked out of the woods and returned to the village.
Zhangjia Village is a small village in the mountains, with about 30 households living in, all of whom are surnamed Zhang.
A village was married to someone who was married to each other. After Zhang Shitou disappeared, everyone in the village went out to look for him. Unexpectedly, he saw Zhang Shitou come back on this day.
But before they were happy, they saw Zhang Shitou's hand breaking and becoming a handless person.
The woman cried bitterly, the man was sad, but Zhang Shitou showed calmness, as if his hands were not his.
He called out all the villagers, told them about their own experience, and said that the tall tree was a god, and was sent by the leader to save the people, asking the villagers to follow him to worship the sacred tree and believe in the sacred tree.
These words did not convince the villagers, but instead made the villagers feel that Zhang Shitou was already possessed and was talking crazy now.
So at the order of the village chief, several big men stepped forward together, grabbed Zhang Shitou, locked it up in the room, locked it up, and told his wife to guard it so that he could no longer let him run around.
Zhang Shitou was in the room and had time to practice the mental method given to him by Ao Wu.
Because he had been immersed in the body by the spiritual energy of the old tree head in the mutated woods, he practiced at this time and achieved twice the result with half the effort.
Although he could not practice quickly like absorbing spiritual energy in the mutant woods, the thin spiritual energy in the air still allowed him to achieve success slowly.
After waiting for a few days, Ao Wu did not see Zhang Shitou bringing anyone here. He didn't know what happened to him, and he didn't think about it.
He remembered Qiangou Village, where hundreds of people were also the source of believers, so he took Li Yuanba to Qiangou Village.
After winter began, there were several heavy snowfalls in Shandong, which was as warm as spring in the mutated woods, and snowy outside.
Qiangou Village is quiet in the snow, and everyone is staying at home and not coming out to do anything.
When Ao Wu walked into the village, the people on the mail tower found Ao Wu and waved their hand to report their name. The people in Qiangou Village shouted happily.
After a while, the village chief Wang, Wang Baishan and old Wang ran out.
Ao Wu and Li Yuanba were dressed thinly, which made them stunned. Then they quickly invited Ao Wu and the others into the house, where the fire was burning to keep warm.
"Village Chief, Brother Baishan, what do you think of my ability?" Ao Wu looked at them and asked.
ability?
They didn't understand what Ao Wu asked about this. When talking about Ao Wu's ability, Lao Wang was the most qualified to comment. From seeing him kill Ergou and Bai Wuding, to later destroying ghosts, Ao Wu's ability made him think that Ao Wu was a god.
The village chief Wang Lao and Wang Baishan have also seen Ao Wu's ability. Only gods can do this seriously.
"God man, your ability is great!" said the village chief Wang Lao.
Wang Baishan nodded.
Ao Wu asked, "Can I teach you, are you willing to learn?"
These words stunned them again.
This goes without saying, of course I am willing to learn it.
"The gods want to accept disciples?" Wang Baishan asked excitedly.
If a mountain person has the ability, he can hunt more food, eat enough, support his family, have children, and of course he is willing to learn!
"Anyone can learn. Just go to the woods of the Northwest Ridge every day," Ao Wu said.
Northwest Ridge, have the woods become wild? Many animals become evil!
"Aren't the beasts there very fiercely? Can you go?" Village Chief Wang asked worriedly.
"Yes, we live in it. The tallest tree can help you learn my skills."
"Is that true? It has something to do with that tree?" Village Chief Wang was stunned.
"That is a spiritual tree, and you need to believe in it in order to absorb his power for your own use."
"Ah, is this the same as believing in Buddhism?"
"Yes, but Buddha is nothing, and the spirit tree can give you strength."
At this time, they also understood that Ao Wu came to invite them to be believers.
Although Ao Wu's ability made them very eager, they wanted everyone in the village to believe in a sacred tree and go every day, so they hesitated.
"Okay, I will select two or three people in the whole village to learn skills with the gods. I will let them come to worship you as your teacher." After considering the matter, the village chief Wang said.
But Ao Wu saw his reluctance, and it was obvious to these two or three people.
Ao Wu: "Is there any difficulty?"
"This..." The village chief Wang was a little embarrassed. Seeing that Ao Wu was not angry, he said: "It is a good thing to learn the skills of gods and humans. We cannot ask for it, but hundreds of people in the village need to support them and cannot learn them all!"
"Oh, the crops have not been well grown recently, and the harvest is not satisfactory before winter begins. This winter is barely available, and the food will be out of stock after spring begins. Then, men will be allowed to hunt for a while, but depending on the snow this year, there will be no good days in spring tomorrow. I am afraid that this income will be sad again!"
"Everyone works together and can think of ways. If everyone believes in the sacred tree, then there will be no one who will farm!" Village Chief Wang said embarrassedly.
After hearing his words, Ao Wu knew that he had misunderstood. Believing in the divine tree is not a monk, and he can't even go home to plant it.
But he didn't say it immediately, but saw something from the perspective of the old village chief.
To attract people to the church, of course, it must be tempting and make believers feel that it is beneficial to add it.
Buddhism, doing good and cultivating virtue can accumulate merit for the next life.
Taoism says that accumulating virtue can turn bad luck into good fortune in this life.
What is Ao Wu's sacred tree? You can enter the ancient martial arts world in one step and practice their skills by entering the sect. But no one who has never tried this thing knows, and ordinary people do not pursue this.
What they want is food and clothing!
Believing in Buddhism is to feed and live in the next life.
Practicing Taoism is to seek food and clothing for this life.
Ao Wu had to think of a way that would also allow them to have enough food and clothing to attract them to the church.
Now the village chief Wang Lao said that two or three people would learn, Ao Wu agreed first, and then he would think of a solution, not be afraid that others would not join the sect.
After agreeing, Ao Wu wanted to go back.
Old Wang quickly stood up and shouted, "Jun Xiucai, Jun Xiucai, I'm counting it as a part of me, I want to join the tutor!"
He first made enemies with Ao Wu, but later was rescued by Ao Wu, and was taken in Qiangou Village so that he would not be hiding in the cave. Now Ao Wu has established a sect, and the village chief Wang Lao has concerns, but he has not.
In order to repay Ao Wu's kindness, he had to join in.
And he also admired Ao Wu and believed that if he joined, he would not suffer any losses.
