Chapter 482 Damn, you took all the benefits for yourself?
"Divine rain? What divine rain?"
After hearing what Li Ping said, not only the Zhangjia Village people, but even the people from other villages around were curious.
"The divine rain is of course divine rain. I'm not too sure, but according to Deben, anyone who receives the baptism of divine rain will be cured of their illnesses - no, it should be said that the rain will cure their illnesses, and they will be free of disease and disaster, and they can even live a hundred years!"
Before Li Ping finished speaking, she saw that everyone around her was breathing rapidly. She knew that they were shocked by the effect of the divine rain, so she pretended to be surprised and said:
"Don't you know about this?"
"How would we know this?"
No matter whether it was the elders of Zhangjia Village or the prominent people of other villages, they all looked regretful.
If they knew that participating in Zhang Deben's deification ceremony would bring such benefits, how could they have come alone? They would have had to mobilize the entire family.
"Village Chief Zhou, what are you doing?"
When the elder of Zhangjia Village saw a white-haired old man turning around and preparing to leave the mountain temple, he couldn't help but ask.
although.
He could probably guess that Village Chief Zhou was going to do something when he turned around and prepared to leave the mountain temple, but he did not point it out.
Village Chief Zhou smiled and said, "I have something to do. I'll go home and come over soon!"
Naturally, he was embarrassed to tell the elder of Zhangjia Village that he had heard Li Ping introduce that there would be a divine rain during Zhang Deben's deification ceremony. After being baptized by the divine rain, he would be free from illness and disaster and live a long life. This was a great thing for an old man like him and his grandchildren.
Of course he had to go back as soon as possible and call all his family members over. If possible, it would not be a problem to call all the young and old in the village!
He couldn't help but wonder, he would learn from Li Ping at this time that there would be a divine rain during Zhang Deben's deification ceremony. Was it because the people in Zhangjia Village deliberately hid this news and waited until Zhang Deben's deification ceremony began - no, they would only say it after the divine rain fell.
If Li Ping hadn't been so nosy, he wouldn't have known about this good thing.
"Village Chief Zhou, your Zhoujia Village is a long way from our Zhangjia Village. I don't know how much time it will take to go back and forth. Deben's deification ceremony will start soon. If you can't make it back, we will not delay Deben's deification ceremony. We will wait for you to come back!"
The Zhang family elder reminded him, and seeing the embarrassed look on Village Chief Zhou's face, he smiled and said, "You must not delay receiving the baptism of the divine rain because of a small matter, otherwise you will not be able to enjoy the benefits of being free from disease and disaster and living a long life!"
Village chief Zhou couldn't help but curse the Zhang family elder in his heart, saying he was a good-for-nothing. How could he not hear the boasting in his words?
He didn't want to talk to him, for fear of hearing his boasting again and again, which would make him so angry that he would fight with this bastard on the spot. No matter whether he won or lost, he and even their Zhoujia Village would be the ones who would suffer.
After all, the new mountain god of Lion Hill is from Zhangjia Village, so he is related to this old guy by blood.
Village Chief Zhou suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that an elder from Zhang Village also turned around and quickly left the mountain temple, shouting:
“Brother, what are you doing? The deification ceremony of Zhang Shan God will start soon. You are the key figure in the ceremony, and it is indispensable. It will be bad if we delay the deification ceremony of Zhang Shan God because of you!” The elder of Zhangjia Village who was stopped by Village Chief Zhou smiled and said, “I’m going to go out for a while and will be back soon!”
"convenient?"
Village Chief Zhou sneered secretly. How could he not know what this old man wanted to do? Since his family could not benefit from it, he did not want other people's families to benefit from it anyway. He said seriously:
"Brother, look at what you said. Don't you have a toilet in your mountain temple? You need to go outside to relieve yourself. There are so many people outside that it will be difficult to get in. Just relieve yourself in the mountain temple!"
"This, this, this..."
Just when the Zhangjia Village elder was in a dilemma, Li Ping stood up and said:
"Uncle, Auntie should have been carried out by the village chief. You know who the village chief is. He is a good village that cares about our Zhangjia Village. He knows that there will be a divine rain baptism when my family Deben becomes a god, so naturally no one will be left behind. Not only your family, but also people from other families, even the old, weak and disabled, have been called over!"
"That's good, that's good!"
Hearing this, the Zhang family elder breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, but when he saw the strange expression on Village Chief Zhou's face and remembered what he had just said, his face was full of embarrassment. He was old, but not too thick-skinned, so he changed his words:
"I'm going to the toilet in the mountain temple right now. I'll be right back!"
Not long after.
"Village Chief Zhang, you are really capable!"
One after another, the prominent figures from the villages around Shiziling could no longer suppress the anger in their hearts when they saw Zhang Yongde coming over with a middle-aged man dressed like a Confucian scholar, followed by four sword-wielding constables.
"Village Chief Zhou, what do you mean by this?"
Zhang Yongde frowned slightly and looked at the prominent people from other villages, all of whom had unfriendly expressions. There were thousands of puzzles in his mind. It was clear that not long ago, when he left the mountain temple, they were very warm and there was no conflict at all. How could it suddenly become like this?
"What do I mean?"
Village Chief Zhou snorted coldly. He really wanted to ask Zhang Yongde if he really didn't know, what he meant or if he was just pretending not to know. However, looking at Zhang Yongde's expression, he could tell that no matter if he really didn't know or was just pretending not to know, he would definitely be hiding something. He said angrily:
"You had someone inform us that today is the ceremony for the deification of Zhang Shan God, and asked us to come and participate. Why didn't you tell us that there would be a divine rain during the ceremony?"
"Divine rain, what divine rain?"
Before Zhang Yongde could say anything, the middle-aged man next to him, who was dressed like a Confucian scholar, asked with his eyes lit up.
"Everyone, let me introduce you first. This is the advisor of the Qingyang County Magistrate. He is here on the orders of the County Magistrate to participate in the deification ceremony of our village master Deben!"
Zhang Yongde introduced it respectfully, and then explained: "Village Chief Zhou, I just found out about the divine rain as well!"
Village Chief Zhou snorted coldly, obviously not believing Zhang Yongde's words. Just as he was about to say something, Zhang Chengze stood up and said apologetically:
"Village Chief Zhou, I'm sorry, this is all my fault. I just remembered that my father's initiation ceremony would result in a divine rain, and I forgot to tell our village chief, so he was unable to inform you!"
