Chapter 473: Believe in the God of Fire and Receive Blessings (Third update, please vote)
If we say that the most chaotic place in Dragon City is not the West City where small tribes often fight each other, nor the East City where several large tribes that control the underground forces of Dragon City are located, but the South City where the largest number of savages are located.
The situation in South City is very complicated. Some of these savages are savages who believe in their own totems, but the totems were broken by others.
There are also savages who can't stand the daily fighting and want to find freedom to come to South City.
There are even savages who ran in from outside, who were truly born in the wilderness.
They are afraid of entering other tribes for various reasons, and rely on doing odd jobs in Dragon City, or helping to run horses, and farming to make a living.
It has always been difficult to govern this place.
Xin once tried to absorb them into the Ri tribe, but these people were wild and could not stand being restrained in the tribe, causing a lot of trouble, so Xin gave up. In
the past two days, children often jumped and ran in the alleys in the south city, singing the jingle.
No one took it seriously at first, but after hearing these two sentences over and over again, they inevitably remembered them.
This jingle is not something profound, it is basically just a few sentences:
The God of Fire appears, the world opens; divides yin and yang, determines the eight trigrams; grants totems, many changes; prevents natural disasters, repel human disasters; believes in the God of Fire, and gets blessings...
These few sentences were remembered by people in a short time, and people inevitably discussed a few sentences in their casual conversations.
"What kind of blessing is this? Not starving to death is a blessing."
The bald man spat on the ground and wiped the corner of his mouth with his dirty hands. He didn't believe these nonsense.
The bald man got his name because his head was full of bald spots. Because the bald spots on his head were really special, he became famous in South City.
As long as someone mentioned the one with bald spots on his head, everyone knew that they were talking about the bald man.
After he spit and spoke, he still felt dissatisfied and made sarcastic remarks to the God of Fire until he was dry-mouthed. Then he returned to his yard with satisfaction.
However, that night, he met with a disaster. His door was broken open and he was captured overnight. When the neighbors heard the noise and ran out, they didn't even see who had captured him.
Such things were not surprising in South City. Everyone just thought that Baldy had offended someone and estimated that his life was in danger. The next day, someone moved into his house.
Many people were arrested like him. In a few days, there were at least hundreds of people, most of whom were famous and eloquent.
Baldy was tied up and taken away. He struggled all the way but could not get free. He didn't know how long it had been. When the hood on his head was removed, he found himself in a valley outside Dragon City. There were
many people who were brought next to him like him. They were all tied to wooden sticks like him. Next to each of them stood a burly warrior with a wooden stick in his hand.
In front of them stood a middle-aged man wearing a wide robe and linen clothes with big sleeves.
"I'm telling you, listen. I'll ask you questions and you answer them. If you answer well, you'll be given food. If you answer badly, you'll be beaten. Do you understand?"
The middle-aged man had a clear voice, which sounded very pleasant to the ear, but these savages did not obey his discipline. As soon as he finished speaking, some of them started cursing.
The middle-aged man smiled at him and said nothing more. He just waved his hands, and the warriors next to him immediately took a big stick and beat him all over the face. They didn't stop until the man's skin was torn.
"Do you have any more questions?"
The clear voice sounded, and the tied people hurriedly shook their heads. How could they dare to have any doubts?
"Okay, then you just listen. If you don't understand, don't ask. Just try your best to remember it."
The man said, and took out a beast skin scroll from his arms. With a clear voice, he began to read the contents.
The middle-aged man was naturally Shao, and what he read was naturally a book written by a witch.
Shao read slowly and calmly in the wind and snow, just like teaching in the classroom.
After reading the creation chapter, he began to explain in detail, such as how the god of fire created the world, how to separate day and night, how to make air, etc. What
he said was naturally different from the brief writing in the book. In his explanation, he described those scenes in great detail, as if he had seen them in person.
Many people were fascinated by what they heard. It's good to just listen to the story regardless of whether it's true or not.
After he finished explaining, he began to ask questions, one by one. Everyone had different questions, but they were all about what he had just explained. Those
who could not explain clearly were beaten by the soldiers next to them, and those who could explain clearly were treated to delicious food and drinks.
In this way, Shao began to implement his plan. In the next half month, he explained the entire book, and everyone was beaten at least four or five times.
Lesbian performed well among them. He was eloquent and had a quick mind. He could remember things after being beaten.
Half a month later, Shao began to teach for the second time, still starting from the first chapter, still explaining it vividly, and then asking questions.
Those who could answer, and answered well, received food and drink as well as copper rewards. Those who answered poorly were beaten even harder than before.
Another half a month passed, and more than 200 people out of several hundred stood out, and they were basically able to answer all of Shao's questions.
"Your loyalty to the God of Fire is recognized, and they, because they are not pious enough to the God of Fire, will bear the wrath of the God of Fire."
Shao's voice was still clear, but as he waved his hand, the stone knife fell, and those who were excluded were all beheaded on the spot.
This really scared the 200 people, and some even lost control of their bladders.
Shao looked at their terrified expressions, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
Shao changed to another valley and began to teach again. This time, he asked everyone to be able to tell the contents of the book and to describe it as well as he did. He
was not afraid of making mistakes, or changing the seven-day creation story into eight-day creation, or changing the separation of day and night into separation of black and white. As long as he was passionate and could tell the story with surging emotions, it would be fine.
Half a month later, these people basically met Shao's requirements, and he was satisfied.
"If I can catch you once, I can catch you twice. Next, I will let you do things. If you do well, you will have food and drink. If you don't do well, you will be beaten and scolded at the least, or beheaded at the worst. Do you understand?"
Shao was now a devil in the eyes of these people. How dare they shake their heads? They nodded like chickens eating rice, and they almost broke their necks.
More than 200 people were sent back to the South City, wearing brand new animal skins, carrying jars of yellow millet, and holding strings of copper coins.
"Baldy, where did you make a fortune to bring back so many good things?"
A neighbor asked in surprise when he saw Baldy coming back like this.
The neighbor just asked a simple question, but the lecher's eyes lit up, he put the millet on the ground, put the copper in his pocket, and ran to the neighbor quickly.
"You don't know, since I believed in the God of Fire, I have received this blessing. God of Fire, you don't understand, let me tell you, the world was originally dark, and then the God of Fire woke up, he said there should be light..."
The lecher was eloquent, and now after a month and a half of training, he spoke with gestures, which made him more convincing.
But after listening for a while, the neighbor thought he was crazy. The God of Fire was a totem, and the world was not what the lecher said, how could he believe it.
Seeing that the neighbor didn't believe him, the bald man took out his own millet and copper coins as evidence. The neighbor was half-believing and half-doubting, so he held out a handful of millet in his hand.
"If you believe, this millet is yours."
The neighbor stared with wide eyes, looking at the bald man like a fool, and then the word "belief" came out of his mouth.
Without saying anything, the bald man handed a handful of millet to the man and said, "This is the blessing of the God of Fire."
After he finished speaking, he proudly held his jar and walked back home.
On the way, he met several acquaintances who greeted him, and he used the same method. He went up to them and started talking, regardless of whether the other person was okay or not, and held the person and didn't let go until he finished talking.
If the man said he believed, he would be let go. If he didn't believe, he would be tempted with money. If the temptation didn't work, he would be threatened.
Although Lesbian had some fame, he was not a fierce character, so no one cared about his threats. He
walked home and found that his house was also occupied. He didn't care. Such things often happened in Longcheng. He also occupied the house himself.
He knocked on the door and found a woman with a child in the yard. It turned out that the woman's husband died and the house was occupied by someone else. She had no other choice but to occupy Lesbian's house. When
Lesbian came back, the woman didn't dare to occupy the house anymore and was willing to leave. But Lazy said that if they were willing to stay, he had no objection.
Because he was a lesbian, no one liked him, so he is still single.
The woman didn't mind him being a traitor, but she wanted him to promise not to sell her daughter before she would live with him.
This made Lai Laitou very excited, and he agreed to everything and lived with the woman that night.
Lai Laitou, who had lost his virginity, was so excited that he couldn't sleep at night. He thought to himself, how come he had a woman after suffering for a month and a half? Was it really a blessing?
Thinking of this, Lai Laitou couldn't sleep even more. He first prayed devoutly for a while, then pulled his woman up and began to excitedly describe the power of the God of Fire.
"Is it really that powerful?"
This woman obviously had no experience. She didn't even know that the Fire God was the totem of the Fire Tribe in the Fire Tribe Alliance. She just listened to Lai Lai Tou's clear and logical explanation and thought it was true.
"How could it be false?"
Lai Lai Tou's eyes widened and he asked in dissatisfaction.
The woman was afraid and nodded repeatedly to show that she believed it.
"Not only do you have to believe it, you have to talk more, tell it to everyone you meet, and you will be blessed. Tomorrow morning, your daughter will eat yellow millet. This is the blessing given to you by the God of Fire."
When the woman heard that her daughter would eat yellow millet, she became excited and asked with wide eyes, "Really?"
"Pah."
Lai Lai Tou spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground and glared, "How could it be false?"
The woman believed it again, and was so happy that she hugged Lai Lai Tou again and gave him a good beating.
Lai Lai Tou was really tired this time, and fell asleep immediately. When he got up the next day, he really made yellow millet for them.
It was not watery, but thick.
"If I listen more and talk more, can my child still get blessings?"
The woman asked excitedly.
"Of course, the God of Fire said that hard work will be rewarded."
Lai Lai Tou said firmly.
"Then tell me again, I want to learn it too and tell others."
Lai Lai was stunned. This is what the middle-aged man asked him to do. He didn't expect that someone would be willing to learn it so soon. When he teaches his daughter, won't he be able to get another bowl of yellow millet?
This is really a blessing.
The God of Fire said: Work hard to renew, and there will be blessings.
