The face of the statue is missing, what does this mean?
The landlord was surprised and confused, and then quickly asked his wife to take a photo of him.
The wife was a little hesitant, but under the constant urging of her husband, she could only say, "Sir, I didn't mean to offend you, I hope you can forgive me," while picking up her mobile phone to take pictures of the statue with its facial features disappearing.
When the photo was sent, the landlord almost fainted when he saw this scene.
He looked at the photo in disbelief, his hands were shaking, and the shock and anger in his heart increased dramatically!
He had personally requested this statue from someone else, and he knew its origin better than his wife.
This statue actually looks no different from other statues. The only difference may be that this god is not the god commonly worshipped by local people.
Over there, most families would choose to enshrine the God of Land, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Guan Gong, Kitchen God, etc. at home. Some would also enshrine local gods due to different legends and customs handed down from different regions and villages.
However, the god he worshipped was not one of the gods mentioned above, but an evil god.
Many years ago, his career was not going well and he was in a bad mood, so he went to find an old friend to express his depression.
That good friend was his childhood playmate from his hometown. When he grew up, he had some good fortune and made a lot of money in business. He became a well-known wealthy man in their village and even moved his entire family abroad.
It was just a coincidence that time, as his good friend was visiting his hometown to pay homage to his ancestors, and he happened to run into him.
Thinking that his friend had his own way of doing business and had achieved remarkable results, he decided to shamelessly ask him for advice and learn some experience.
The good friend still missed their old friendship and took time to chat with him for a while.
When his friend heard him say that he lost nine out of ten times in a deal, he immediately said something mysterious.
"You're just totally unlucky."
Isn't it? It was obvious that the people who entered the industry first made money, so he followed suit, but the industry was no longer profitable.
The most important thing is that the time interval between him and those friends who made money entering the market was not very long. As a result, when it was his turn to enter the market, something suddenly happened.
Let’s talk about opening your own store. After you open it, don’t even think about making money. It would be good if you don’t lose all your money.
But he always does various investigations and analyses to make sure that there are no problems with the ideas he is optimistic about.
But when it was his turn to do it himself, he couldn't make any money no matter what.
As for what his friend said about his bad luck, he had thought about it.
For this matter, he invited all the gods he could to his home and worshipped them sincerely.
I thought that since I had asked so many gods to bless him, he should be feeling better, but the effect was not significant.
He really didn't know what to do.
When his friend heard him say that he had asked many gods to bless him, he laughed out loud and said.
"Do you know how many believers those gods you invited have to bless every day? Hundreds of millions, maybe? Take our village, for example. There are hundreds of thousands of households, and every single one of them needs their blessing almost every day. Can those gods even take care of it all?"
When the landlord heard this, he suddenly felt that he had never considered this issue before.
But what my friend said does make some sense.
With so many believers, can the gods really notice every one of them?
"But hasn't every household in our country done this for generations?"
He asked his friend in confusion.
There are quite a few people doing business in their village, and many of those who are considered successful in their businesses also worship those gods.
My friend scoffed at what I said and said, "Look at those people. They make as much money as I do, and they live as well as I do now."
The landlord naturally didn't know the specific assets of the others, but judging from what he saw on the surface, his friend did look more arrogant.
It seems that my friend is really the most powerful person in their village.
For a moment, the landlord looked at his friend more eagerly. He couldn't wait to know how his friend did it.
Seeing that he looked anxious, his friend didn't keep him in suspense any longer, but gave him a very serious warning before he said anything.
"You better keep your mouth shut! Don't tell anyone about this, not even your mother, wife, or children!"
At that time, the landlord only wanted to know how his friend was able to do so well in his business and make so much money. He didn't dare to say anything else and quickly agreed, almost swearing an oath.
Seeing him like this, his friend told him the secret of how he got rich.
At the beginning, my friend was just like the landlord. Nine out of ten times he did business, he lost money and lost a lot of money.
He began to doubt whether he was cut out for business and planned to work in a factory, but suddenly he had a fortuitous encounter.
This adventure is related to what he just said about "inviting gods".
Like the landlord, he had been madly praying to various gods. However, no matter how he prayed day and night, his business did not improve. Frustrated, he decided to give up the business.
However, before he decided to go to the factory, he went traveling for a while, intending to adjust his mentality to face the new job.
Then when I was traveling, I found a small stone statue sitting on the ground in a corner by the road.
The stone statue looked like a statue of a god, but it was covered with weeds and debris. It was gray and old, with no signs of being worshipped by anyone.
If it weren't for his sharp eyes, he probably wouldn't have noticed it.
Because of the customs of their hometown, my friends and I certainly know that we should not worship unfamiliar gods casually.
Even if it is not a stranger god, even if it is someone else's god, you should not worship directly without the other person's consent. This is too abrupt and informal, and may be disrespectful to the god.
So at that time, my friend had no intention of worshipping the statue on the roadside. He just took a curious look and wanted to leave.
However, for some reason, when he looked at the statue, a voice seemed to suddenly come from his mind.
The voice was very strange, and it said to him: Do you want to be successful, rich and prosperous, and healthy and long-lived?
No matter which of these words it is, it represents the desire of the general public to achieve.
Of course, friends are no exception. They all dream of making a lot of money and becoming rich overnight.
Moreover, the voice was bewitching, as if his friends had already seen how he would become wealthy in the future.
So he replied in his heart without even thinking: Yes!
After he responded, the voice continued: I can fulfill your wish, you just need to invite me to your family to worship.
When my friend heard this, he suddenly came to his senses and looked at the inconspicuous statue on the ground with some hesitation.
He didn't even know what kind of god this was, so how could he dare to invite it into his home so easily?
The statue also noticed his hesitation and quickly spoke to him in its heart.
It tells its friend where gold is hidden nearby and that he will definitely find it if he goes digging.
Gold?
Is there gold around here?
My friend went to the place mentioned by the statue with half belief and half doubt, and unexpectedly he actually dug up a small piece of gold!
The moment he saw the gold, he immediately realized the power of the statue, and hurried over and knelt down in front of him.
He wanted to make money so badly that he didn't care about anything else. Now he had finally met a god who could really help him dig up gold and make money, so naturally he didn't want to miss it.
Moreover, it was the first time that he encountered a statue that had consciousness and could communicate with him, which was even more magical.
Finally, he took the statue out of the weeds on the roadside, excitedly took it home and worshipped it.
After he brought the statue home, his life soon became prosperous. Everything he did went smoothly, and he made a lot of money.
Truly realizing the magic of the statue, he naturally became more respectful to it, and even had the altar specially built by a specialist using top-quality wood.
As for tributes, they were all the freshest and most expensive things.
He thought he had done his best, but the statue appeared in his dream and asked him to replace the statue with a beautiful body.
Nice body?
My friend didn't understand what this meant at first, but after the statue's impatient explanation, he realized that the stone statue at this moment was not its body at all. It was just trapped in this broken and small stone statue for some reason.
When my friend heard this, he immediately understood that this was because he was dissatisfied with his current physical appearance.
He hurriedly asked what shape and appearance the statue wanted, and learned that there was only one requirement for the statue, and that was luxury.
Isn’t this simple?
The friend immediately asked someone to specially build a stone statue, carefully carved it, and even painted it to give it an exquisite appearance.
It looks very luxurious and impressive at first glance.
He just didn't know how to depict the facial expression of the new stone statue, so the statue told him to leave some space on the face.
My friend didn't understand why, but he obediently asked the master to leave the face of the statue.
Then he respectfully placed the new stone statue on the altar. The next day, he discovered that the stone statue on the altar, which had no facial features or expression, had grown facial features!
The friend was very shocked, but after confirming the stone statue, he realized that the god inside the statue was still the same god, and he felt relieved.
It seemed that the invited deity had entered the existing stone statue, and its facial features and expression were probably its own.
It’s just that the facial features and expressions of the new statues make people feel uncomfortable after looking at them for a long time. They are not as awe-inspiring as the gods that were worshipped at home before.
This made his friend gradually realize that the god he invited was probably not a righteous god, but the legendary evil god.
He couldn't help but feel uneasy and even afraid, but because of his current wealth and good luck, he didn't dare to do anything rashly.
In the end, he decided to deceive himself, pretending to be ignorant and continuing to worship the evil god.
However, not long after, he began to feel unwell.
Even though you sleep well, when you wake up the next day you will feel weak in your limbs, dizzy and tired.
This condition continued for two days without improvement, so he immediately went to see a doctor.
However, the doctor's examination results showed that he did not get enough rest. No matter how he explained, he slept long enough and it was impossible that he did not get enough rest. The doctor could only give this answer.
He knows his own physical condition best. It is obvious that he has been sleeping well and sleeping for a long time recently. How could he not sleep well?
This situation is obviously wrong.
The doctor couldn't solve his problem, and his condition had been getting worse. Finally, he could only seek help from the statue and ask what was wrong.
The answer given by the statue of the deity almost scared him to death.
For the idol said that it had taken from him what it needed.
What is it that the idol needs to be taken from him?
My friend was not stupid either. After thinking about it quickly in his mind, he finally realized that the strange feeling in his body during this period must be because the statue had taken away something!
For example, essence, longevity, etc.!
