Chapter 52 The Glorious and Difficult Task
It was already getting late at this time, and it was already evening when the bandits came. After the battle, it was already starting to get dark.
The Bai family will definitely not be able to leave today and will have to stay temporarily in Gaojia Village.
There are limited houses in the village, and it cannot accommodate so many people.
The tenant farmers who came from Baijiapu were all farmers who were used to hardship, and they were not very particular. They ran to the city wall and squeezed in with the refugees who lived behind the city wall, and they made do with it.
But Bai Yuan, Mrs. Bai, and the young master of the Bai family cannot be crowded together with those refugees.
After some hesitation, the three of them looked at the brand new "Daoxuan Tianzun Cave".
In ancient times, it was common to stay in temples and Taoist temples when traveling. If there were no empty temples and Taoist temples managed by monks, you could just stay there directly.
But in Gaojia Village, the situation is a little different. The Heavenly Lord is hanging above the head, and his spirit appeared not long ago.
Under such circumstances, who would dare to live in his Taoist temple without any heart or soul?
Others couldn't understand Bai Yuan's hesitation, but Thirty-two understood it. He smiled and said to Gao Yiye: "Mr. Bai wants to live in Tianzun's cave, but I don't know if Tianzun will allow it?"
Gao Yiye listened carefully to the voice from the sky and smiled: "God has approved it."
Bai Yuan was overjoyed and quickly bowed her head in the air: "I am in trouble today. I have offended many people. I will build a temple for the Heavenly Lord in the future."
Gao Yiye said again: "Tianzun has an order. After an hour, when the villagers have rested, Thirty-Two, Third Lady, and Bai Yuan will all go to Tianzun Temple. The old man has something he wants you to do."
The people whose names were called perked up, especially the third lady. She didn’t expect that she, a woman, could actually be called by the Heavenly Lord to explain things to her. She was so excited that her whole body trembled: "A civilian girl... a civilian girl... can get...
The Heavenly Lord values...the blessings gained through cultivation in three lifetimes."
The group of people began to look forward to the hour passing quickly.
It got dark very quickly. After the sun fell below the horizon, the whole world instantly fell into darkness. Only the moon in the sky and a circle of lanterns on the city wall were still emitting dim light.
The villagers had all rested, and only two sentries were still wandering around the city wall.
Several oil lamps were lit in Daoxuan Tianzun's cave. Four people, Gao Yiye, Thirty-Two, Third Madam, and Bai Yuan, sat in a circle around the oil lamps.
As for Mrs. Bai and Mr. Bai, they were not named and were not qualified to participate. They did not even dare to approach.
Gao Yiye listened attentively and said happily: "Here comes the Heavenly Lord."
The other people quickly became serious and sat upright, with their backs straight.
Li Daoxuan looked at the people inside from the window: "I only called you here because you are the only ones in Gaojia Village who can accomplish this. This is a glorious and arduous task."
As soon as Gao Yiye finished relaying the narration, Thirty-Two responded quickly: "No matter how difficult the task is, I will do my best until I die."
Bai Yuan also made a big salute to the statue of Li Daoxuan next to him: "My life was saved by Heavenly Lord. As long as Heavenly Lord gives orders, no one dares to disobey."
Li Daoxuan: "I need believers. I hope you can make more people become believers of Daoxuan Tianzun Sect."
The two men were slightly startled.
At this time, it was the third lady who was in high spirits. She knew more about religion than the two men. She said to the two men next to her: "Why are you so stunned? Isn't the request of Tianzun very normal? Incense, incense! You are all
don't know?"
The two men suddenly realized, yes, which god doesn't want his temple to be prosperous with incense? Although they don't understand why the gods use incense, they know that the more incense, the better, and all gods like it.
However, the two men were a little confused as to how to spread this matter. They couldn't help but look at the third lady at the same time and thought: No wonder Tianzun wanted to call her to speak, she knows much better than the two of us.
The third lady said with a serious face: "In order to increase the number of believers, the women of the people know some methods. They build Taoist temples all over the world, cast golden bodies, and station Taoist priests in various Taoist temples to explain the scriptures and solve doubts for the believers. They also have to send Taoist priests to travel around the world to guide the believers.
The grace of the Heavenly Lord spreads all over the world..."
As soon as she said this, the two men wiped away their sweat: "We... do we have the strength to do this?"
Li Daoxuan smiled: "Otherwise, how can we say it is a glorious and arduous task? A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world? When you are not strong enough, start from the surrounding areas and slowly expand bit by bit.
That’s all.”
Thirty-Two and Bai Yuan bowed to the ground: "It is what the Heavenly Lord said."
Li Daoxuan said in a deep voice: "I am not one of those evil gods who show off and deceive. You need to be careful not to pretend to be gods and deceive others. You must provide substantial help to the people and let them join voluntarily instead of forcing them to join with a knife.
"
Thirty-Two and Bai Yuan quickly said: "I don't dare."
Li Daoxuan said: "Bai Yuan, are you going back to Baijiabao tomorrow?"
Bai Yuan: "Yes! The thieves chief has been killed by the God of Heaven. The remaining thieves are not afraid. I want to return to Baijiapu and clean up the mess there."
Li Dao
Bai Yuan: "..."
Li Daoxuan: "Go out and take a look at your carriage."
Bai Yuan was stunned and hurriedly walked out. The carriage stopped at the entrance of "Daoxuan Tianzun Cave". He walked to the front of the carriage in three steps and two steps at a time. He opened the curtain and saw that half a cart of flour was piled inside.
I don’t know when the ball was put in.
Li Dao
Bai Yuan took a deep breath and bowed to Tian Chang: "Tian Zun is kind."
Li Dao
The third lady immediately understood: "Every time a person is cured, the daughter of the people will tell him that this is the grace of the Lord."
This woman really understands religion!
When Bai Yuan heard her words, he suddenly woke up and quickly said: "When I help the villagers around Baijiabao, I will also tell them that these are the food gifted by God."
Li Daoxuan: "Yeah! Let's do it like this."
After saying that, he "disappeared" outside the "clouds"...
Gao Yiye: "Tianzun, he has returned to heaven."
Everyone "hooted" and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
