Chapter 122 The Boy Cuts Off His Worldly Ties
Compared to the resentful look on the face of Wang Shan, the village chief of Wangjia Village, Wu You's eyes lit up. Since he learned to read and write from his family, Wu You naturally knew how to write. He saw the neatly arranged fonts on the white scroll, and the words written in golden ink were even more beautiful.
He couldn't describe what the feeling was like. The slender and exquisite font accompanied by gold gave a feeling of dancing on the drawing paper. The pen strokes were thin and strong, yet had a sharp beauty. It was a font that Wu You had never seen before.
Qin Lang naturally used the Slender Gold font. In fact, he knew many fonts, but because of the golden ink, he was used to using the Slender Gold font, which gave people a very expensive feeling.
"What on earth is this? Boy, what does the Star Lord need from us?"
Wang Shan didn't understand what was on the drawing. He thought it was something that the gods wanted, but he couldn't see anything by looking at the disc.
Wu You had already recognized the font on it and knew it was a millstone, so he spoke.
"This is a divine object created by the Star God. It's called a millstone and is used to grind flour."
Having read the instructions carefully, Wu You spoke, leaving Wang Shan even more puzzled.
"Grinding flour? What is this? This flour..."
I couldn't help but touch my face, but was I talking about my face?
Wu You saw the village chief's confusion and continued.
"This item is a magical agricultural tool. Place wheat in the millstone and it will produce fine flour. The Star Lord wrote on it that flour is an ingredient that can be used to make a variety of foods."
This was something Wu You had never seen before. Even the nobles only ate hulled wheat or rice, but real white rice was only eaten by the nobles. Wu You had never heard of this flour.
However, this is something that the Star Lord has instructed him to do, so he must accomplish it.
"This is how a millstone is made. Please ask the village chief to find a skilled craftsman in the village to come and make this to fulfill the Star Lord's order."
Although Wang Shan was a little confused about this wonderful thing sent down by the Star God, after listening to the boy's explanation, he realized that this was something that turned wheat into flour. It was very powerful! It was used for making food!
It seems that the Star God has compassion for the suffering of the people and has sent down such a divine object from the sky, which immediately made Wang Shan excited.
"I'll ask someone to arrange it right away."
He hurried to find a craftsman in the village who could polish stones, and soon several people came, including an elderly woman. In a place like a village, men and women do the same work, even polishing stones, both men and women have to do it.
The village chief found some paper in the village and asked Wu You to copy the production method of the stone mill onto cheaper paper. Then he gave Wu You the gold-edged scroll to carry with him.
When the villagers came over and knew that it was a creation drawn for them by the gods, they immediately became very motivated and soon began to study it. After all, the ancient craftsmen were also very smart.
Qin Lang has already handed the matter down and believes that the villagers will be able to handle it. He himself has once again received a task.
[Ding Dong! Host, please pray for the rain to fall upon Chenjia Village, and obtain offerings from all the villagers to build the Dragon King Temple...]
A familiar system sound. Qin Lang had already told Wang Huaer not to disturb him without permission and just to guard outside, so the next second he switched to [Dragon Roar in the Nine Skies] and soared into the sky, heading towards Chenjia Village.
The earlier the villages prepared, the richer they were. They all urgently slaughtered chickens, sheep, and pigs, and even selected human sacrifices. All of these had to follow the rules. After calculating the auspicious time, they began to worship the Dragon King.
Because they knew about the existence of the Dragon King from Wangjia Village, they directly told the heaven that they wanted to offer sacrifices to the Dragon King. This is like why later generations always call out the names of their family members when they visit the graves, which is to tell the heaven and the earth who these things are for.
Qin Lang naturally soared out from the sky again. This time the sky was bright and a huge black dragon circled in the sky. Then dark clouds covered the sky, lightning and thunder flashed, and along with the appearance of the black dragon, a sweet rain fell.
Naturally, everyone in Chenjia Village had the same reaction as Wangjia Village and Wujia Village, and then contributed a large amount of faith value to Qin Lang, and the faith value directly exceeded 200,000.
Unexpectedly, the faith value of only three villages increased so quickly. Qin Lang then understood what the people had been forced into. As long as they could survive, they were willing to believe anything.
This time, Qin Lang brought back another human sacrifice for the Dragon King. It was also a beautiful little girl, thirteen years old this year. Although she had not yet reached the age of marriage, she had indeed grown up to be as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water, very beautiful and clean.
In every village with hundreds of people, there is always one beautiful child. In order to win the favor of the Dragon King, the human sacrifices are always the most beautiful and innocent children. Wang Huaer seems to be used to it. When she saw a golden light descending into the yard and the girl sent by the Dragon King, she habitually went over and told the new boy everything, letting them know what to do next.
Qin Lang was really busy in the next two days. The villages that learned the news about the Dragon King began to worship the Dragon King after a few hours. Qin Lang went there directly after receiving the system task and brought back a human sacrifice.
Originally, Qin Lang thought that someone would be perfunctory with the Dragon King, or that the sacrifices or human sacrifices were not good. However, he did not expect that not only did each of these villages give Qin Lang a surge in faith points, but also that the human sacrifices offered were all the best children in the village.
After two days, there were seven boys in Qin Lang's yard, led by Wang Xing'er, all of them were beautiful children as tender as green onions.
After Wujiacun learned that Wu You was not dead and had even become a boy beside the Star Lord, they spent a large amount of money to buy a lot of fabrics and daily necessities and sent them to him. Knowing that the Star Lord liked bright colors, all the fabrics they bought were in delicate colors.
Over the past two days, the women of Wangjia Village worked hard to ensure that the seven boys in Qin Lang's yard were dressed neatly. The girls all wore the same skirts, except for Wang Huaer, whose skirt was a different color. The boys wore red, blue, and white, which made the three boys look extremely handsome.
Qin Lang bestowed elixirs on these children, knowing that they would rely on him in their lives. Seeing the faith value soaring to 700,000, he was in a good mood. If the clothes in the dressing system could not be worn by these children, Qin Lang would definitely give these children some good clothes.
"The seven of you are all disciples of the Dragon King. Now that you have followed me, you must sever your worldly ties and be reborn. Today, I will bestow upon you new names."
When they heard that the Star God was going to give them names, the seven people all knelt down. They knew that although it was their destiny to leave the world, the Star God would never rule out letting them meet their former families. It was just that they knew better in their hearts who their faith was.
"Please give me a name, Star Lord."
Everyone knelt in unison. The people of the surrounding Wangjia Village were envious. If possible, who wouldn't want to be given a name? Wang Jinglan was also envious. Although her family had saved the Star Lord, her grandfather and father had said that favors should not be rewarded. Even if she wanted to follow the Star Lord, she couldn't speak up and could only watch with envy.
Qin Lang looked at this group of beautiful children and gave them names one by one.
"Wang Huaer, from today on, you will be the Lotus Boy."
"Wu You, you are a good book boy."
The same goes for other people, of course. All their names have been replaced, and from now on, when they walk on earth, they possess the power of gods and spread miracles on their behalf.
Although these boys and girls still look like children, each of them has abilities beyond ordinary people. If they do not change their identities, they will definitely be exploited. But now, after changing their names, they are truly untainted by the mundane world.
From then on, when the families of these people saw these children again, they could only respectfully call them "boys", just like worshiping gods.
These boys all took the elixir given by Qin Lang. The Lotus Boy was in charge of Qin Lang's affairs, the Book Boy was in charge of issuing Qin Lang's decrees, the Fortune Boy was in charge of entering the bills of items sent from each village, the Biyun Boy was in charge of everyone's clothes and burning incense, and the Golden Spirit Boy, Miaoguan Boy and Mingxia Boy were in charge of mundane matters.
Although these children are generally under the age of fifteen, they are all carefully selected from the most beautiful and intelligent ones in the village. Some are good at accounting, some are dexterous, and some are eloquent. Just looking at each of them makes Qin Lang feel good. It is already a pleasure to see them appear in front of Qin Lang every day with different bright clothes and flowers.
After waving his hand to let everyone leave, the now good book-reading boy reported to Qin Lang.
"Your Excellency, the Star Lord, Wang Shan, the village chief of Wangjia Village, has led the villagers in making a millstone and is currently conducting trials. Does the Star Lord have any instructions?"
Now, the children who follow Qin Lang no longer eat grains and have escaped from the cycle of reincarnation, so they are all very beautiful with red lips and white teeth.
"There's nothing to explain."
Qin Lang didn't expect that the people of Wangjia Village could make a millstone in three days. It was quite fast. After thinking about it, he waved to the boy who was good at calligraphy. When the other party came forward, he waved his hand and five pills fell into the boy's hands.
"The grinding wheel is laborious and difficult to make. Give this pill to Wang Shan and ask him to arrange for a capable person in the village who can eat the divine power pill to grind flour and beans for the villagers."
This was also a difficult task, and the boy who was good at calligraphy immediately bowed and agreed.
After Qin Lang went to rest, Shanshu Tongzi went to the place where millstones were made in the village. Many people in the village gathered here, making surprised and strange noises.
"Oh my god! Is this flour? So white? Is this what the gods eat?"
"This flour is like pearl powder. Is it really edible?"
"So wheat can be ground into this shape..."
Everyone was talking at once, and the village chief Wang Shan was also shocked as he looked at the flour in the earthenware jar. Some of the flour was very white, which was ground from new wheat, and some was yellow, which was ground from old wheat.
Although grinding the wheat is laborious, it is much simpler than husking the wheat before. Two men were pushing the millstone hard to turn the wheat inside into flour, and another woman was adding wheat.
When they saw someone coming, everyone reacted immediately.
"Meet the good book boy."
Everyone in the village already knew the new names of these boys and understood that they were like immortals. The boy who was good at writing nodded, then let the two men go. He was just a small man with only one arm each, and he gently pushed the millstone.
The millstone was turning and white flour flowed out of it. Everyone looked at the good boy in surprise, shocked by his supernatural powers.
Because only gods can possess such great strength.
Seeing that the millstone was working properly and the flour it produced was just as described in the scroll, the good boy was relieved. He took out the jade bottle from his arms and handed it to the village chief Wang Shan.
"The Star God has compassion for the world and feels the difficulty of making and grinding mills. He has specially bestowed five divine power pills. The village chief will arrange for them to grind flour and beans for the villagers as appropriate."
As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Shan immediately led all the villagers to kneel down and loudly thank the Hundred Changes Star God.
This mill is difficult to make and takes effort to pull, but it is still excellent. The wheat can be turned directly into flour without being hulled, and there are magical ways to eat it, which is something that the people in Wangjia Village would never have dared to imagine before.
Now that the Star God has bestowed the miraculous medicine, everyone should kneel down to express their gratitude.
Qin Lang felt a surge of faith in the house again...
