A few days later, Lin'an City.
The former site of Cuiqing Tower, the former residence of the Zhang family.
A brand new temple rose from the ground. It was not magnificent, nor was it grand and imposing.
The one-month deadline given by Wei Wu was indeed too tight for You Wenqu.
Given the lack of funds, we have already done our best to level the ground, pave bluestone slabs, and build the main temple.
But no matter what, it was already very difficult to occupy a large piece of land and build a temple in the heart of the bustling Lin'an City.
The main temple, the most elaborate part, is supported by thirty-six pillars and is several inches taller than the palace gate.
The core of the main temple is the statue of the Green Ox Immortal.
The statue is as tall as a tower. The immortal stands holding a cow, with a smile on his face and his eyes looking into the distance, as deep as the abyss.
It seems like one glance can see through the ages, and it seems like one glance can see through people's hearts.
The immortal has a tall and slender figure, and his back is like a wall, which forms a very sharp contrast with the burly and strong divine bull behind him, whose body is as muscular as a dragon.
However, it is this contrast that further highlights the mystery and lightness of the Green Ox Immortal.
Today is the opening day of the Qingniu Immortal Temple, and the people in the capital are naturally talking about it.
Temples are sensitive places.
When ordinary people worship gods and immortals, they usually go to some remote and desolate places to do so secretly.
It’s hard to say whether it works or not.
There is only one rule: worshiping gods is risky, and you need to be cautious when entering a temple.
If you worship openly, the government can arrest you or turn a blind eye.
And now, a temple has been built openly in the central area of Lin'an City, and it is on the former site of Cuiqing Tower, and the Zhang family, which is not weak, has also been forcibly demolished.
It is said that the Zhang family is in a miserable state now. Not only have they lost their ancestral property, but they have not yet received the compensation for the demolition.
It cannot be said that it was not received, it was “donated”.
As for whether it is donating or being donated, it is hard to say.
Anyway, the Zhang family said righteously that it was a voluntary donation.
As for the common people, what they love most is the excitement.
As soon as the temple opened, a huge crowd of people came in like a dark cloud, surrounding the temple so tightly that no one could get in or out.
Everyone stretched their necks to look inside, just to see something new.
But... no one worshipped.
The kind that you just look at but don’t worship.
The reason is simple. When the temple opened, the city guards and the government office worked together to maintain order.
Under the watchful eyes of the government, no one dared to be the first to take the risk.
If you kneel down, the authorities will arrest you on the spot, and that would be unfair.
The government has done a lot of this kind of thing.
This is called fishing enforcement, just waiting for you to take the bait.
What?
It's impossible for the government to make such a big fuss just to arrest someone. There are plenty of ways to play tricks on people. Is it unnecessary to just take off your pants to fart?
To shut up.
Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
You must not be the first one to stand out.
If you want to be the first one, be the second one and wait for others to test the waters first.
"Go on!"
"Hurry up and worship!"
"What are you waiting for?"
"That's right, hurry up and bow to the front, everyone is waiting to see the show."
"Stop squeezing! You'll get pregnant if you keep squeezing!"
"..."
Outside the statue, the crowded people were shouting and encouraging each other.
"I offer ten mithril coins. Whoever comes forward to pay their respects will receive them immediately!"
Finally, some young men from wealthy families who were eager to watch the fun started playing the game of "there must be brave men when there is a big reward".
Ten mithril coins are not a lot, but definitely not a small amount either.
For ordinary people, this is the amount they earn throughout the year.
"I!"
At this time, a ragged blind man raised his hand tremblingly.
The blind man's surname was Cheng, and he was called Cheng the Blind. He had disheveled hair and sores all over his body. He was a beggar in the area, and his house was poor, so everyone avoided him.
The temptation of ten coins to Cheng Xiazi, who lives today but not tomorrow, is no less than that of a perpetual bachelor seeing the top courtesan in Cui Qinglou.
It's a waste of life, so why not take a gamble?
So, Blind Cheng took the ten mithril coins, and under the guidance of the crowd, Doctor Clang knelt in front of the statue.
