Chapter 41 Mountain Temple
The attributes of the village construction order do not contain any detailed instructions or clauses regarding the establishment of a religious organization, which means that Zhang Yang can do whatever he wants, even if he calls himself a god and lets everyone worship him.
But he also knew that it would be great if things were that simple.
Since the survival of the company for the next three hundred years is at stake, he must choose a religious organization that is the most widespread, easiest, and least likely to cause any unexpected problems.
So the first thing he considered was ancestor worship, that is, ancestral temples, which is also the most widespread type of Chinese civilization on the earth.
But after careful consideration, he decided to build a mountain temple first.
The reason is very simple. He feels that a person must have awe to exist in this world, whether it is awe in the heart or awe in the mind.
Although fearless is a positive word, if a person really becomes a purely fearless person, it will be a disaster for himself, the people around him and the society.
However, one should not be too reverent or timid, binding oneself and others within rules and regulations, which will only result in the stench of a zombie.
Just these two criteria eliminate most of the religions that Zhang Yang knows.
The mountain temple represents a corner of a huge, mysterious and ethereal system of gods and ghosts. However, such a system, which could not be fully explained even in three days and nine nights, does not bind people tightly, but at the same time it can give people enough awe.
Of course, Zhang Yang had no intention of digging into the larger system of gods and ghosts. He just wanted the people in his village to have something to fear, and not be too free and casual.
In addition, the mountain temple can easily be related to its own ghost priest. If handled properly, the two may complement each other.
In fact, Zhang Yang could also build a land temple, a city god temple, etc., but these two types of temples would first require more talents. In this wilderness, a mountain god temple is more reliable.
Building a mountain temple is very simple, even easier than building a level 1 dwelling.
He found a place with good scenery on the hill and built a small house. Zhang Yang personally cut a statue of the mountain god with wood that looked nothing like it. When he placed it there, two pieces of information were immediately reflected.
"Do you want to build a special building for the village - the Mountain God Temple? Please complete the Mountain God's Conferment, find a complete or incomplete demon soul, 50 units of demon blood, and 1,000 energy points, and seal it in the Mountain God Temple."
"It means that different demon souls will have different effects, and a complete demon soul may rebel after being enthroned as a mountain god, but the architectural features of the mountain god temple will also be stronger."
The content of this information surprised Zhang Yang a little. After thinking about it, he kicked over the rough mountain god temple, threw the mountain god statue into the fire, and directly suspended the construction of the level 3 residence. He asked all the craftsmen to build the mountain god temple. At the same time, he called Wu Yuan and asked him to personally carve a mountain god statue.
After a busy whole day, a very different mountain temple was successfully built, which could accommodate at least a dozen people for worship.
And the mountain god that Wu Yuan cut himself, hmm, why does he look so familiar? Isn't this Duan Jiu who died at the hands of the Spider Lord? The one who fought side by side with Wu Yuan, but he died and Wu Yuan survived.
Zhang Yang did not stop Wu Yuan from remembering his comrades-in-arms. When the statue of the mountain god, which was as tall as a person, was erected, new information was revealed.
"Do you want to build a special building for the village - the Mountain God Temple? Please complete the Mountain God's Conferment. Please find at least one complete demon soul above level 5, or enough incomplete demon souls above level 5, 100 units of demon blood, and 2,000 energy points, and seal them into the Mountain God Temple."
"This means that the overly powerful mountain god will definitely rebel. Please be prepared for battle."
"It's really interesting that the mountain god would rebel!"
Zhang Yang chuckled and waved for Wu Yuan to come over with the Violent Bear group of four. They stood at the entrance of the mountain temple like an iron tower. Then he took out the nine remaining souls of the Red Eagles that he had kept in his hands and asked for the village construction order to start the conferment.
Suddenly, a white light flickered and enveloped the statue of the mountain god. In the white light, the shadows of nine red eagles cried and rushed into the statue. In just a few seconds, the statue actually came alive. It was majestic without being angry, and it looked directly at Zhang Yang, as if thunder and rage were about to pour down.
But at this moment, Wu Yuan and the four members of the Baoxiong group took a step forward at the same time, full of murderous intent.
"Uh, little god - meet the village chief."
In the white light, the statue of the mountain god that came to life actually immediately revealed a brilliant smile and slightly bowed to Zhang Yang.
The next second, the white light dissipated, the statue of the mountain god returned to its original state, and pieces of information were instantly projected out.
"Successfully completed a special building, a level 3 mountain temple."
"Increases village prosperity by 15 points."
"Building function: You can spend energy to buy level 3 Concealment Amulet/Protection Amulet/Vision Amulet from the Mountain Temple, each piece costs 100 energy points."
"Building function: Deterrence. When soldiers fight against beast-type monsters, their morale increases by 15%."
"Building function: Faith, villagers' loyalty increased by 5."
"Building function: Submission, with a small chance of subduing wild monsters."
"Building function: Ghosts and spirits. There is a chance that haunted incidents will occur in the village."
"Building function: praying for good weather and good harvests. There is a small chance of success."
——
“Very good!”
Zhang Yang was very satisfied. It was indeed a mountain temple with a fantasy background and was very useful.
At that moment, he spent 6,000 energy points and bought 20 concealment talismans, 20 protection talismans, and 20 vision talismans in one go. He then gave them to Wu Yuan and asked him to distribute them to the patrol team members.
These three types of talismans are very useful and can save lives at critical moments, although they also have great disadvantages.
After dealing with the matters at the mountain temple, Zhang Yang had no time to rest, and hurried to check the farmland that Wu Yuan and his team had reclaimed in the past five days.
It covers an area of 200 acres, which is spectacular at first glance. It is also enough to show that the soldiers like Wu Yuan are very dedicated and have not been lazy.
You have to know that they first have to cut down the trees, clear away the huge tree roots, and then use shovels to dig the land down forty centimeters. It's really a huge project.
At this time, when Zhang Yang personally stood in such a large piece of reclaimed land, new information was naturally reflected in the village construction order.
“210 acres of new land have been reclaimed.”
"Soil fertility, level 5."
"Land reclamation level, level 5."
"Soil moisture, level 5."
"Number of weeds in the land, level 5."
"The land was successfully cultivated and 21 level 5 farmlands were obtained. After the first harvest of crops, the village prosperity will be obtained."
——
This information made Zhang Yang very excited. He had wondered before why farmland did not have the same prosperity as the village. It turned out that it had to wait until the first harvest.
Moreover, the calculation method for the village construction order is that ten acres of farmland is counted as one building, and then the farmland grade is calculated based on indicators such as soil fertility.
Wow, the land in this primeval forest is really fertile.
22 pieces of level 5 farmland equal 198 points of prosperity. Then, we can find a way to make the villagers' loyalty reach 80, so that they can have three children.
This is of great significance to Zhang Yang. After all, he can only be in charge for 20 years, so he can actually only command the fourth generation of residents. The more children he has during this period of time, the more confident he will be in getting through the 280-year cutscene in the future.
