Chapter 111 The Immortal King's Tribulations
In the darkness, Wang Goudan felt that he was being stared at by the entire village, but everyone's eyes were fanatical and joyful. As the rain fell on his hair and face, he clearly couldn't open his eyes, but he was very happy.
"Goudan, take good care of your benefactor and don't disturb him tonight."
The village chief Wang Shan knew that Wang Goudan had saved a noble man who had been unconscious for two days after coming to the village. The villagers planned to offer sacrifices to the river god and send the purest and most beautiful girl. Originally, everyone in the village thought that they should send the beautiful Wang Jinglan, although Wang Shan disagreed.
But Wang Goudan and Wang Dalin rescued a strange man and brought him home. Wang Jinglan was no longer innocent when she lived with the strange man. Wang Shan also understood the painstaking efforts of the father and son. After all, Wang Jinglan was the only child left in the Wang family.
Later, when the granddaughter heard this, she stepped forward and offered to become the bride of the river god, because only in this way would the villagers have food to eat when it rained and would not starve to death.
The daughter-in-law and son at home cried their hearts out, but the granddaughter got into the wedding sedan with a smile on her face. Now that I think about it, everything must have been decided long ago. Whether it was Wang Goudan saving people or the granddaughter taking the initiative to sacrifice to the river god, they were both lucky people.
When Wang Goudan heard what the village chief said, he quickly spoke.
"Hey, we promise not to disturb you."
It was already late at this time. If they went home to get water, they would definitely disturb the important person, so Wang Goudan understood what the village chief meant.
The other people in the village were also excited and happy. After the village chief told everyone about their arrangements to go home, they hurried back home one by one. Even though water droplets hit their faces as they walked on the road, everyone was happy.
It’s good that it rains, it’s good that it rains, it’s better than letting the crops in the fields dry up.
Everyone returned home with a smile on their face, and the villagers who were originally a little weak at home had already taken out things from their homes to collect water the moment it rained. When they saw the family members who had prayed for rain coming back, they immediately smiled.
Everyone in the village was busy running around, even the old people who stayed at home went out into the rain to get wet, and later heard about the Dragon King from their family members who came back.
It turns out that gods really do exist in this world, and the Dragon King is a black dragon with golden eyes. Lightning is suspended under his claws and he can ride on clouds. The key point is that the Dragon King actually has a human form, and looks like a young general with red hair.
Every household in the village was happy, but they couldn't help but lower their voices because the god's friends were in their village. The rain was still falling outside the window, and they must not speak loudly. What if they disturbed the Dragon King's friends?
On the east side of the village, Wang Qingfeng, who had seen the Dragon King with his own eyes in his life, was extremely excited. He asked his son to light the most expensive kerosene in the house, and then lit a fire in the big house in the square. Outside the door, a curtain of rain fell, and in the dark and quiet, there was only the sound of burning firewood.
"Handy, go get me the piece of wood that your father and I treasure most. And Dachuan, get the carving knife and our food."
The owner of this house is the most famous carpenter in Wangjia Village and also the best carpenter in the surrounding area. He once went to a large county town to learn carving. After returning to the village, he taught his craft to his two sons.
Carpenter Wang's name is Wang Qingfeng. He was given this name by a fortune teller when he was a student. At his command, his youngest son Wang Qiao went to get his father's most precious piece of Dalbergia odorifera. This piece of Dalbergia odorifera is actually only as long and wide as a human arm. It was the material left after Wang Qingfeng carved something for an important figure.
These dignitaries all liked to use yellow pear wood to make furniture. After Carpenter Wang got this piece of Dalbergia odorifera, he couldn't let it go. He took good care of it for decades, but he was reluctant to use it to carve things.
At this moment, he carefully stroked the expensive Dalbergia odorifera, which was also the most expensive thing in their family.
"Tonight we will see the true form of the Dragon King. The village chief has already promised the Dragon King that he would build a temple for him and carve a golden statue. I, Wang Qingfeng, have nothing but this little craft. I intend to use this Dalbergia odorifera to carve a humanoid form of the Dragon King and enshrine it in the village ancestral hall."
Everyone in the Wang family was happy because it was raining. When they heard that the head of the family wanted to use the most noble Dalbergia odorifera to carve the Dragon King, naturally no one objected. They immediately nodded in agreement.
Only the Dragon King is worthy of such a beautiful Dalbergia odorifera. It would be great if I could have more expensive wood so I could carve a better one for the Dragon King...
Wang Qingfeng's eldest sons Wang Dachuan and Wang Qiao thought the same thing at the same time. Both of them had a lame leg. Nowadays, many people who did not want to be conscripted would break their legs because they could not run fast with broken legs, so the conscripts would not take them away by force.
Over the years, Wang Qingfeng taught his skills to his two sons, especially his youngest son Wang Qiao, who was very clever and dexterous, just like his name. So he began to teach his two sons.
"You two will simultaneously carve the true form of Lord Dragon King using the wood from your homes. Your father has taught you this art for many years. If you disgrace yourself now, you will disgrace yourself to Lord Dragon King."
Wang Dachuan and Wang Qiao immediately nodded excitedly. It was such an exciting thing to be able to carve the real body of the Dragon King!
Under normal circumstances, they need to find an auspicious day to worship the Dragon King, then kneel down and beg the other party if they can be allowed to carve. Then they need to take a bath and change clothes to wash off the smell of money on their bodies, and then carve while offering sacrifices to the Dragon King.
But now there is not so much time. The rain outside the door is a gift from Lord Dragon King. They have just been drenched by the rain sent by Lord Dragon King, which can be regarded as a wash away of all worldly desires...
Soon, Wang Qingfeng started to get busy with his two sons.
Although the other villagers did not know how to carve, after returning home, changing clothes and collecting rainwater, they all found it difficult to fall asleep. It was the first time in their lives that they saw a god, so they knelt on the ground and worshipped sincerely towards the rain, praying in their hearts that the Dragon King would bless their families.
This is the power of human faith, which is also the incense.
Only when humans believe in gods can gods gain more powerful magical powers.
Wang Goudan and his son Wang Dalin returned home in silence. Seeing that it was raining outside, Wang Goudan's wife took out all the pots and pans in the house to collect water. Wang Jinglan also finished her busy work with her grandmother. After waiting for a long time for grandpa and dad to come back, the Wang family was still silent.
It seemed that everyone was used to silence most of the time. Both of them were wet, and then they pulled the two women to the room farthest from where Qin Lang slept.
The house where Qin Lang was located was already the best house in Wang Goudan's house. It was the main house, and the side house was some distance away. Wang Goudan then spoke.
"Has the nobleman lying in bed woken up?"
He didn't wake up for two days. Originally, Wang Goudan wanted his son to serve the noble man because he saw that the noble man was a man. However, his son was just like himself. He had been working in the fields for a long time and his hands were very rough. Not to mention feeding the noble man a sip of water, just touching the noble man's exposed wrist would make him red.
There was no other way, so Wang Goudan asked his twelve-year-old granddaughter to serve the nobleman so that he wouldn't climb up the social ladder. The whole family had rough hands, and only Wang Jinglan's hands were better, so she could feed the nobleman water without breaking his skin.
"Not yet. It's raining outside. Jinglan and I took a lot of jars from the kitchen to collect water. We didn't disturb anyone."
The old woman said this, but she thought about the fact that the man had not woken up for two days and she didn't know if he would ever wake up again. If she hadn't seen that this person didn't have a fever, she would really suspect that he was dying.
"That's good, that's good."
He is a good friend of the gods. Damn, their Wang family has made great progress. They saved the gods who came down to earth to experience tribulations. This will be written in the ancestral hall in the future.
Then Wang Goudan immediately became serious.
"Don't disturb your rest. Go to bed early tonight. I'll prepare the best meal in the house tomorrow morning. If you wake up, please serve you well. You are a good friend of the Dragon King."
Wang Goudan then told the story of praying for rain. The two women were stunned. They had never imagined that the noble person their husband had rescued wasn't just an ordinary person, but an immortal who had come down to earth to experience tribulations? No wonder he was so handsome...
Wang Jinglan thought of the immortal's appearance. His face was even paler and more delicate than a woman's. He really didn't look like a mortal...
Just as Wang Goudan and a few others were talking, there was a noise at the door. Wang Goudan hurried over in the rain and saw the village chief Wang Shan and his son Wang Dazhuang, as well as Wang Huaer, who was identified as a sacrifice by the Dragon King, drenched in the rain.
"Goudan, my Hua'er will be staying at your place starting tonight. If you wake up, please have Hua'er serve you personally. This is the order from the Dragon King."
That's right, the Dragon King had personally instructed this granddaughter of hers to be the immortal king who would serve in the mortal world and endure tribulations. Naturally, she would have some good fortune after a hundred years, which would be better than living a mediocre life in the mortal world.
"Yes, Village Chief, I'll arrange for Huaer to come in right away."
Wang Goudan naturally would not resist the arrangement of the gods. He then discovered that the village chief had brought something with him, so he covered it tightly with his straw raincoat.
Afterwards, Wang Huaer was arranged to live in Wang Goudan's house. As her father, Wang Dazhuang prepared bedding for his daughter, while Wang Shan stuffed the fine grains and dried meat in his hands into Wang Goudan's hands.
"When you wake up, please make proper arrangements. Let someone notify me and I will come to visit you."
At this moment, no one dared to offend the lying Qin Lang, and Qin Lang became the life-saving straw of the entire Wangjia Village.
Wang Goudan naturally nodded repeatedly, and then watched the village chief leave in the rain.
It was all good after all. The Dragon King had shown favor to Wangjia Village, and they wouldn't end up with nothing. The best thing was that everyone could survive...
Qin Lang, who was undisturbed by everyone, was lying on the bed listening to the sound of rain outside the window. He was in a good mood. After the window was opened, the cool breeze made his body feel very comfortable. The most important thing was that Qin Lang found that the system was really powerful!
[Infinite Sweet Rain Water]: You can take out endless sweet rain water from the jade bottle to quench your thirst, nourish your body, and be immune to all poisons.
【Infinite Fasting Pill】: You can take out endless Fasting Pills from the jade bottle. Take one pill and you can go without food for half a year.
So Qin Lang just drank a mouthful of Ganlin water to make his body feel very comfortable, and then took a fasting pill, and now the hunger in his body completely disappeared.
It seems that this system of dressing up to become a god can really make people become gods. It is really cool to give out such a cultivation prize in the ancient world!
Now Qin Lang knew that the character he had created for himself, the immortal king who experienced tribulations in the human world, was complete.
After all, people live in this world to eat and drink. Who else but the gods don’t eat and drink?
