This was the first time Liang Haoran had heard such a statement. "Master, are there many gods in the world?"
Wei Mian shook his head, feeling melancholy whenever he mentioned this. "With the rapid development of modern society, there are fewer and fewer people with faith. You see the most people believe in the God of Wealth, but most of them are just following the trend and are not necessarily devout in their hearts."
Modern people value profit and are willing to believe in gods that can bring them more benefits, but they can abandon them at any time if they find that they are not so effective.
Moreover, a major movement many years ago that destroyed various religious sects was also the fundamental reason why many gods disappeared.
Wei Mian had no idea about the management methods of those in power. Each dynasty had its own method of cultural control, such as the Qin Dynasty's burning of books and burying of scholars, the Western Han Dynasty's abolition of all schools of thought and the promotion of Confucianism alone, the Qing Dynasty's literary inquisition, and so on.
They are all important parts of historical development, and she is not willing to judge right or wrong.
However, at this stage, most of the gods disappeared because no one worshipped them, and it was extremely difficult for some of them to stay.
The next day, there were a lot more people in Grandma Huang's yard. These people lived closer to Anji, while some who lived farther away had not returned yet.
Nanny Huang specially invited Wei Mian and the other two over and explained the situation in the tomb to the Huang family. After some discussion, they finally asked Wei Mian to help invite the god back.
They could not control other people in the village to worship the god, but since the god was able to keep the sickly and young Huang Ermei alive and preserve the only bloodline of the Huang family, he must have done the Huang family a favor.
The Huang family knows how to repay kindness, so no matter whether this guardian deity can bring benefits to the Huang family in the future, they are willing to worship him.
Wei Mian smiled with relief upon seeing this. He had to admit that this family’s character was fine.
So she picked an auspicious day, performed a ritual and invited the gods to come, and even calculated the horoscopes of the people who came to dig the grave, and found the four most suitable ones.
Then the villagers who were watching discovered that after the tomb next to the Huang family cemetery was dug up, there was a half-human-high statue inside.
The statue is made of pottery, and the color on it is mottled, but you can still see that it is an old man with a white beard, a bit like the Earth God in Journey to the West.
The eyes of the statue were full of love, and everyone who saw them felt that the eyes were like a loving elder looking at them, which made the villagers who originally came just to watch the fun feel a little strange.
Wei Mian didn’t recognize this statue, but the aura around it was clean, completely different from the evil gods she had seen before.
The task of cleaning the statue was given to Huang Ermei, after all, she was the one who had been devotedly worshipping it for many years.
After everything was settled here, the Huang family, under Wei Mian's guidance, brought the statue home and enshrined it in the empty room in Grandma Huang's house that had been unused.
The interior had been arranged according to Wei Mian's requirements, and she then taught him how to offer sacrifices, as well as precautions such as the placement of tributes.
As for the discolored areas on the statue, since there was no place to invite the same statue back, the god did not have enough strength to attach to the new statue in order to rebuild his body. So Wei Mian asked Huang Ermei to buy paint of the same color and paint it.
After being fished out from underground with great difficulty, the statue is now not picky about anything. The most important thing is to survive.
After the Huang family's offerings, the power around the statue has become more solid. However, it is probably impossible to restore the glory of the heyday of the statue.
Wei Mian could clearly feel the gratitude conveyed by the other party. She smiled slightly, turned and left.
After making sure that nothing was wrong at the Huang family's side, the three of them set off back to Qingping. This time, with the protection of the statue, even if Huang Ermei was with Fang Xiaoliang, she would not be as miserable as his ex-wife.
Besides, it is not certain whether the two can get married. As long as they worship the statue diligently, knowing that it is not good for her, the statue will subtly influence her certain thoughts.

Ever since Zheng Hao and Liang Haoran were listed on the Feng Shui list of Hong Kong City, many people have been asking about their identities. When they learned that one of them was the second son of the Qingping Zheng family and the other was Wei Mian's apprentice, they could only sigh and say, "It's as I expected."
Perhaps such a young and capable Feng Shui master can only be produced by a large family or a famous teacher, which also further recognizes the abilities of the two.
The video of the Feng Shui Master Competition has long been broadcast on Hong Kong City TV. Now is the Internet age, and the inland areas have naturally received the news, so many people in the circle know about it.
It turns out that Zheng Heng is not the only outstanding son of the Zheng family in this generation. Zheng Hao, who has always been lazy, has also achieved such remarkable achievements.
They all knew the content of the assessment and were fully aware of the difficulty of the competition. They knew it was not a gimmick or a show.
That is why, when they look at their own younger generations who are nothing, they can't help but be a bit picky, always feeling that they are inferior to others in every way.
Wei Mian didn't feel much. Her fortune-telling shop was on the right track. Many of the people who came here on weekdays were from other places, including quite a few celebrities and politicians, so she had much less time to teach the two of them.
However, Feng Shui is not something that can be learned by just staying at home; you also need to practice it more often.
For some simple appointments, she simply sent two people out. If they didn't do it well, she would cover it, and there was someone to ask if they didn't understand.
The two of them made rapid progress under this kind of education. Of course, Wei Mian was not a capitalist who exploited labor, she paid them!
Because of this, the two of them started making money. Although it might not be as much as Zheng Hao's previous pocket money, it was one of the rare times he had more money in the past year.
Zheng Hao couldn't help but sigh that it felt so wonderful to have money in his pocket. He thought that he had never been so poor since he was a child, so he became more determined to study hard and make more money.
