Chapter 483: Flatterers! Aren’t you?
"Brother Zhang, please stop defending your village chief. This is not the first time I have dealt with him. I don't know what kind of person he is.
His heart is extremely evil!
If the Mountain God’s wife hadn’t reminded us, we wouldn’t have known that there would be a divine rain during the Mountain God Zhang’s initiation ceremony.
I think it is 100% that Zhang Yongde deliberately concealed it from us and did not want us to know. He wanted all the benefits to be reaped by Zhangjia Village alone and not let outsiders like us take any advantage! "
Village Chief Zhou snorted. He had a good relationship with Zhang Yongde, so he didn't have to worry about Zhang Yongde getting angry if he said something bad. He said unhappily:
"He forgot that although Mountain God Zhang was born in Zhangjia Village, he is now the mountain god of Shiziling. We are all citizens of Shiziling and are also considered to be the people of Mountain God Zhang. We have the right to enjoy the benefits brought by Mountain God Zhang!"
He didn't say anything bad about Zhang Chengze. He didn't have much contact with Zhang Chengze, but with his experience, it was easy for him to figure out what kind of person Zhang Chengze was and knew that Zhang Chengze would not do such a thing.
Furthermore.
Zhang Chengze is the eldest son of Zhang Shanshen. Not to mention that this was not done by Zhang Chengze, even if this was done by Zhang Chengze, he can only regard it as done by Zhang Yongde.
He is not bullying the weak and fearing the strong. He is a man of insight and wisdom. In the future, their village will still need the care of Zhang Shanshen. Not to mention Zhang Shanshen, he cannot even offend Zhang Shanshen's family.
otherwise.
Just now.
Zhang Shanshen's sister blocked his way and kept talking bad about Zhang Shanshen. If he didn't know her identity, he would have rushed up to her and interrupted her chattering with a few punches. How could he allow her to spread rumors?
Don't say that what Zhang Guilian said were all rumors. Even if what she said was true, he would not allow others to say bad things about Zhang Shanshen, especially in the mountain temple. That was the best time to show himself in front of Zhang Shanshen.
Unfortunately, the one who spread rumors about Zhang Shanshen was his sister. He didn't know why Zhang Shanshen's sister would spread rumors about her elder brother, but this was a family conflict between them. How could he, an outsider, be qualified to interfere?
I could only suppress the anger in my heart and listen to Zhang Guilian's endless rumors.
Zhang Yongde ignored Village Chief Zhou's sarcasm. He knew that during Zhang Deben's deification ceremony, there would be a divine rain. It was Li Ping who told him so. He said enthusiastically to the Confucian scholars around him:
"Master Tong, the divine rain is the divine rain. Anyone who is baptized by the divine rain will be free from disease and disaster and live a long life!"
He didn't know that Li Ping had told him not long ago that there would be a divine rain during Zhang Deben's deification ceremony. Was this something Li Ping had just remembered, or was she deliberately waiting until Zhang Deben's deification ceremony was about to begin before telling him?
He didn't try to guess, nor was he too lazy to guess, what Li Ping was thinking.
He only needs to know that this is a great thing for their Zhangjia Village.
Apart from those who received the invitation and came to participate in Zhang Deben's deification ceremony and the people near Lion Hill who came to join in the fun, only the entire Zhangjia Village, young and old, received the baptism of the divine rain. In the future, when it comes to talking about this incident, they, the Zhangjia Village, can still be superior to others.
Now, the new mountain god of Shiziling, Zhang Deben, comes from their Zhangjia Village. The entire Zhangjia Village is baptized by the divine rain. No other village near Shiziling has this benefit. This is one of the clear proofs that Zhang Deben favors their Zhangjia Village.
after.
Whether it was him or other villagers in Zhangjia Village, when they visited relatives in other villages near Shiziling, they were all arrogant and could sit in the right seat at meals. "No illness, no disaster, and a long life?"
Tong Weicai's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he wanted to ask in detail about the specific benefits of the divine rain, such as whether it could cure men's problems - of course, as a normal man, he did not have this problem, but who made him have so many friends that he always had a few friends who were impotent, not to mention that his master was a first-rate sex-hungry ghost.
If the divine rain could really cure that condition, his master would most likely need to come here and receive the baptism of the divine rain.
Zhang Yongde nodded, his face full of excitement, and said, "That's right, Master Tong, you must participate in Deben's deification ceremony later!"
"No problem, no problem, I love having fun with the people the most!"
Tong Weicai chuckled and asked, "Village Chief Zhang, do you know why there was a divine rain during the deification ceremony of Mountain God Zhang this time?"
What he actually wanted to ask was whether there would be another baptism of divine rain besides this one.
He actually didn't care why there was a divine rain baptism during Zhang Deben's deification ceremony. He wanted as many beneficial things as possible.
He is not the kind of person who likes to get to the bottom of things. As long as it is a benefit, he will not and does not want to care how it came about.
Zhang Yongde did not answer Tong Weicai's question, but subconsciously turned his head to look at Li Ping.
He didn't even know about Zhang Deben's deification ceremony and the baptism of divine rain. It was Li Ping who told him about it before. How could he know about it? How could he answer Tong Weicai's question?
Li Ping stepped forward and replied, "Master Tong, our family's Deben will send down a divine rain during the deification ceremony today because he knows that Lion Ridge has been lacking resources for so many years due to the lack of mountain gods to take care of it.
He knew that the people living near Lion Ridge depended on Lion Ridge for their livelihood. Due to the scarcity of resources in Lion Ridge, the people living near Lion Ridge were extremely poor.
Many people were killed by wild beasts or died of hunger. As the newly appointed mountain god of Lion Hill, he had to consider the people of Lion Hill.
He will take advantage of this deification ceremony to send down a divine rain in order to nurture the resources of Lion Ridge!"
At this point, Li Ping paused and looked at the excited faces around her. They had all lived in Lion Ridge for who knows how many years, so how could they not know the influence of Lion Ridge on them? She continued,
"As for why my Deben also called for a divine rain at the mountain temple, it was because of my Deben. What he hoped most was that everyone would be free from illness and disaster and live a long life!"
"Well, you are worthy of being the Mountain God Zhang. As soon as you became the mountain god of our Lion Ridge, you immediately thought about the people around our Lion Ridge!"
When Village Chief Zhou saw Li Ping finished speaking, he immediately stood up and flattered her, "He is the new mountain god of our Lion Ridge. I am the first one to agree!"
'Flattery! '
The others around, hearing Village Chief Zhou's shameless words, couldn't help but curse in their hearts and said righteously:
"Need I tell you? The position of Mountain God of Lion Ridge has been vacant for over a hundred years, waiting for Mountain God Zhang to take over. I believe that with him as the Mountain God of Lion Ridge, the people living near Lion Ridge will be able to live a good life!"
