Chapter 484 How could we let you kidnap our village god?
"Madam Mountain God, Mountain God Zhang and I have never met, but I have heard of his deeds. I fully support him becoming the mountain god of our Lion Ridge.

I believe that we have the mountain god Zhang in Shiziling, who will definitely lead the people of Shiziling to live a good life!"

Tong Weicai flattered him.

If Zhang Deben was just the mountain god of Lion Ridge, he wouldn't need to flatter. Although he didn't hold an official position, he at least had some achievements and was a scholar.

Now he is Wei Yuan's advisor. In the entire Qingyang County, he cannot be said to be second to none, but at least he has status and position.

There is no need for him to fawn on the small Lion Ridge even if a mountain god emerged.

But Zhang Deben, the mountain god of Lion Ridge, is different from other second-rate mountain gods. It’s not that he really admires what Zhang Deben did.

He didn't understand Zhang Deben before, but after Zhang Deben became the mountain god of Lion Ridge, he got to know more about it. After learning about what Zhang Deben had done, he not only did not admire him at all, but secretly cursed Zhang Deben for being stupid.

Not to mention helping the elderly, the weak and the disabled in Zhangjia Village, let’s just talk about helping his brother-in-law in Qingyang County, Du Guan.

Originally, Du Guan was just a poor man in the county town. He couldn't find a wife in the county town. Even in the villages around the county town, few people were willing to marry their daughters to him. Otherwise, he would not have gone to a poor and remote place like Zhangjia Village to find a wife.

It is not known whether Zhang Deben fell in love with Du Guan, or was fooled by his city dweller identity, or whether Zhang Guilian wanted to marry Du Guan and become a city dweller.

If it weren't for Zhang Deben's help without caring about the losses, Du Guan would have to worry about having enough food every day, let alone getting rich. But after Du Guan became rich, he became arrogant and completely forgot how he got rich. He didn't take Zhang Deben, his brother-in-law, seriously.

If it were a normal person, let alone a brother-in-law, even if it was a blood brother, before he became rich, he would never help at any cost, regardless of the loss.

If Zhang Deben did this, what else could it be but stupidity?
He knew what Zhang Deben had done, and it was good enough that he did not laugh at Zhang Deben behind his back. How could he possibly flatter Zhang Deben in public?

After all, he is the legal advisor of the Qingyang County magistrate and has status, so he also needs to save face.

He would flatter Zhang Deben because he knew that Zhang Deben had a promising nephew.

Not only is he the third place in the imperial examination, but he is also the prime minister's son-in-law. He has a bright future.

If Zhang Deben could say a few good words for him in front of Wang Ruhai, and Wang Ruhai would remember him, then when the time came for him to become successful, why would he still need to be Wei Yuan's advisor?
Being a legal advisor is good, but if he has a choice, he would rather be a county magistrate.

"Master Tong, you're too kind!"

Li Ping frowned slightly, and a flash of surprise flashed in the depths of her eyes. She didn't expect that the master who came from the county town would also flatter others. She said seriously:
“But my Deben told me that since the King of Hell chose him to be the mountain god of our Lion Ridge, he will definitely do his best to take good care of Lion Ridge.

Cultivate one natural treasure after another, so that the people living near Lion Ridge can live a good life!"

“Madam Mountain God, if Mountain God Zhang can really cultivate one natural treasure after another in Lion Ridge, it can really let the people of our Lion Ridge live a good life.

The price of natural treasures is not cheap, and they are very popular not only in Qingyang County, but also in other places! "Tong Wei's eyes lit up. He knew that the profits of natural treasures were huge, and he wanted to get involved, but after thinking about it, he realized that it was not his turn to do this. What good thing was there? No, as long as it was something that could make money, his county magistrate would intervene. How could it be his turn? It would be good enough to leave him a sip of soup, so he changed the subject:

"But if we want to cultivate natural treasures in Lion Ridge, we need a lot of divine rain. From now on, will there be divine rain every now and then in Lion Ridge?"

"Master Tong, you are right. The land in our Lion Ridge is too scarce after all. Without the care of the mountain god for so many years, only weeds can grow. If we want to cultivate natural treasures, we need a lot of divine rain!"

Li Ping nodded.

During this period, Zhang Deben discussed many things with her while she was sleeping, including how to develop Lion Hill, and she gave suggestions.

But most of the time, they would ask for advice from their niece. It can only be said that their niece is worthy of being the wisest of their family.

Gave one reasonable suggestion after another!

If she hadn't known that her niece's entire heart was pinned on her family's Ping An and she was unwilling to leave the Wang family, she would have wanted to keep her niece here and have her become a priest in her uncle's mountain temple.

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Ping noticed pairs of fiery eyes. She knew what they were thinking without even thinking about it. Most likely, they were thinking about Shen Yu. She smiled and said:

“Everyone, as I just said, our family’s Deben hopes that everyone can live a long and healthy life, but it is difficult to achieve this by relying on a divine rain.

Therefore, our family Deben has decided that, every once in a while, in addition to the divine rain at Lion Ridge, there will also be a divine rain at our mountain temple. When the time comes, you are all welcome to come and receive baptism!"

"Really?"

Whether it was Village Chief Zhou or anyone else, even the elders of Zhangjia Village, their eyes lit up when they heard what Li Ping said, and they couldn't help but ask, "Madam Zhang - no, Madam Mountain God, do you have a specific time?"

"The specific time?"

Li Ping thought about it, pretended to be thinking, shook her head, and said regretfully: "That's not the case. The divine rain can't fall casually. It requires many harsh conditions. Our family can't guarantee that it will fall on time, but we will notify you one or two days in advance, so you'd better come to the mountain temple from time to time!"

Her husband Deben had told her about the conditions for making the divine rain. There are many requirements, but the biggest requirement is incense. If the incense is stable, it cannot be said that it can rain every day, but once a month is not a problem. It can be fixed at a fixed time. However, her niece finally denied it.

Letting the people around Lion Hill visit the mountain temple from time to time to inquire about the news of the divine rain can contribute a lot of incense to her family's virtue.

"Like This!"

Village Chief Zhou looked a little disappointed, but not much. Compared to being able to receive divine rain many times, this little thing was not a problem. He changed the subject and said:
"Madam Mountain God, I wonder when Mountain God Zhang can visit the Mountain God Temple in our village?"

Li Ping was about to answer when Zhang Yongde quickly changed the subject, saying, "It's getting late. Deben's deification ceremony is almost here. We should get ready quickly to avoid being held back at the critical moment!"
