"How can you talk like that? I just complained a little, why are you insulting me?"
If all those who worship the Qilin God are people like you, then the Qilin God isn't a good deity at all, and I'd rather not worship him!
The outsider was so angry that he stood up and was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, they were immediately surrounded by kneeling people.
"How dare you insult the Qilin God?"
“Brothers and sisters here, if we don’t teach him a lesson, he will really think that we believers are easy to bully.”
"Yes, teach him a lesson and see if he dares to spout nonsense again."
The villagers surrounding the outsider were about to start fighting as they talked.
Just then, the door that had been tightly closed suddenly opened.
After a burst of beautiful music, a man dressed in ethnic minority clothing came out first.
"Divine messenger! Divine messenger!"
"May the divine messenger be well and may you receive my greetings!"
"Divine messenger, has the Qilin God issued any divine decree today?"
Those who were about to argue immediately knelt down again upon seeing the messenger dressed in ethnic minority clothing, asking with anticipation on their faces.
The divine messenger did not speak, but waved his hand, and hundreds of pigeons suddenly appeared in the previously empty place, flapping their wings and taking off, creating a spectacular scene.
At the same time, the divine messenger's body slowly rose into the air and actually stopped in mid-air.
The ignorant common people were instantly fooled by this intimidating scene and shouted loudly, "Qilin God! Qilin God! Qilin God!"
The divine messenger seemed to enjoy the feeling of being adored. He smiled, waved to the people, and said loudly.
"Everyone, the Qilin God has sensed your unwavering faith and has decided to appear at the lantern festival tomorrow night."
At that time, everyone will receive the blessing of the Qilin God, and longevity and living to a ripe old age will be no problem.
This news left the followers of the Qilin God completely overjoyed.
"Am I dreaming? Can I really see the Qilin God?"
"That would be wonderful. I just want to live a few more years and see my family prosper and have descendants."
"Is your Qilin God really that powerful? Can it even grant people longevity?"
The last question was asked by the stranger who didn't make it.
The believers were in a good mood, so they didn't argue with this outsider anymore. They even told him about the great power the Qilin God had displayed before.
"Of course. Back then, the county magistrate's father was seriously ill and it seemed like he wouldn't survive. Just then, the Qilin Divine Envoy came out of seclusion and touched him. The county magistrate's father stopped spitting blood immediately."
Within two days, he was able to get out of bed and walk around, and now he walks with incredible agility, showing no signs of having ever been seriously ill.
"That's right. And then there's Zhou's only grandson. I don't know what happened, but he suddenly started having a fever and talking nonsense. He was such a good kid, and now he's not going to make it."
Desperate, Zhou, the richest man in China, went to seek help from the Qilin Divine Messenger. And guess what? The moment the Qilin Divine Messenger arrived, the child was lively and energetic again.
The stranger was almost incredulous after hearing this. He asked doubtfully, "Is it really that miraculous? Or is it just a rumor?"
An old woman slapped the stranger with displeasure, "Why are you so suspicious, young man? I did hear about the first two from others, and I did see the divine messengers saving people."
Old Liu's wife on our street was on the verge of death when a divine messenger appeared and simply moved a finger, and she was fine again.
I saw this with my own eyes, it's absolutely true. Besides, Old Liu is just a wood-boring fellow; aside from being skillful with his hands and knowing how to make little contraptions, his house doesn't have anything of value.
Xu Jinhuan listened silently and summarized the information, and finally understood the development of the Qilin God in Tongqiao County.
The person behind this is quite cunning. First, he took care of the county magistrate, then he took care of the richest man in the county, and later he even put skilled craftsmen to his own use. His plan is truly meticulous.
It would be difficult for anyone else to break through this intricately woven web, but unfortunately for them, they encountered Xu Jinhuan, a person who could bring them down silently.
The Qilin envoy in mid-air was completely unaware of this and was still vigorously promoting the so-called blessings.
"The richest man in Zhou is willing to give away half of his wealth in exchange for the health of his family members."
The Qilin God was moved by his sincerity, and not only ensured his grandson's healthy growth, but also blessed the Zhou family's descendants with a lifetime of peace and safety.
"The Qilin God is a truly benevolent deity. The more you give, the more he will give back to you. Let's all give!"
The kneeling crowd didn't think there was anything wrong with what the divine messenger said; some even echoed his sentiments.
"The Qilin God is indeed a benevolent god. I heard that Zhou the richest man's concubine is pregnant again. Maybe she can give him a son and break his family's nine-generation single-son fate."
"Oh dear, then I'll offer a hundred taels of silver and ask the Qilin God to bless me with a long life of a hundred years!"
"I offer twenty taels of silver, hoping my wife will give me a big, healthy son."
"I offer one tael of silver to bless my family with peace and safety."
The Qilin envoy in mid-air nodded in satisfaction, pointing to the attendant holding paper, pen, and a box of incense money.
"Two waiters, hurry up and register everyone. Those who donate more than one hundred taels today can admire the majestic appearance of the Qilin God up close at the lantern festival."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and some immediately increased their donations.
"I want to change it to one hundred taels; I can't miss this great opportunity!"
"Then I need to change too. The chances of a deity descending to earth are so rare. When you finally encounter one, you really can't miss it."
Xu Jinhuan looked at the group of people who seemed to have lost their minds and only knew how to hand over their money, and sighed speechlessly. This money is really easy to make.
She pulled out several hidden weapons from her sleeve, covered them with her invisibility ability, and threw them at the Qilin Divine Envoy in mid-air.
"Swish"
Those with sharp ears seemed to hear a snapping sound, and then they saw their revered divine messenger suddenly fall from mid-air, landing somewhat disheveled on the ground.
"A divine messenger?"
What happened?
"Could it be that the divine magic has failed?"
Everyone looked at the divine messenger with suspicion.
The divine messenger glanced menacingly at the corner, assuming it was a problem with the person setting up the mechanism, never imagining that someone had discovered it.
"Boss, what's going on?"
Xie Datou stared blankly at the divine messenger. He was almost convinced by what the messenger had just said, but then suddenly he fell down.
The few gestures the divine messenger made as he fell clearly relied on his lightness skill, so how did he manage to stay suspended in mid-air?
