Chapter 169 (Monthly Pass for Temple Repair)

Some people have even enshrined a wooden sign at home with the words "Dragon God's Head" carved on it. They kowtow and pray every morning and evening. If they have any ailments, they will disappear the next day!

This is really blessed by the Dragon God.

As a result, everyone felt that it was too insincere to just worship at home. Why should we build a temple for the Dragon God?

In order to repair the Dragon Temple, they even planned to build the ancestral hall later.

We had already made preparations and took advantage of the fact that just after the rainy season, it was a good time to build the ancestral hall.

But then everyone thought that the Dragon God's blessing over the past few months was real. In this case, the temple should be built first.

My ancestors are all from my own family, so I shouldn't be blamed.

After discussion, everyone reached the same opinion.

Then the whole clan was gathered in the open space at night and held a meeting.

Discuss where to build a temple for the Dragon God and what specifications to build it.

Another thing is to take advantage of Xiao Ling finally coming back, and ask Xiao Ling what the Dragon God means.

Of course Jiayin agreed.

She asked her father, who said that building a temple would be good for her. If more people believe in it, she can gain the power of faith.

As long as the good news does not change the world structure, uses divine power indiscriminately, and absorbs some merit and power of faith, the laws of heaven will not target her.

Now that the Dragon God has agreed to build the temple, the next step is to discuss the scale of the construction and the appearance of the statue.

After all, they have never seen the Dragon God and don’t know what the Dragon God looks like. They can’t just imagine something, right? Isn’t that offensive to the Dragon God?

As soon as Jiayin asked for the Dragon God's appearance, he immediately sent a message to Xiaoling and described his true form.

So I listened to Xiao Ling's crisp and clear voice: "The head is like a cow, the horns are like a deer, the eyes are like shrimps, the ears are like an elephant, the neck is like a snake, the belly is like a snake, the scales are like a fish, the claws are like a phoenix, and the palms are like a tiger. On its back

There are eighty-one scales, with ninety-nine yang numbers. There is a beard beside the mouth, a pearl under the chin, an inverse scale under the throat, and a mountain on the head. By the way, the Dragon God is golden!"

When everyone heard it, they realized that this was different from the dragon totems they had seen!

Listening to Xiao Ling's description, there are so many characteristics mixed together, and I don't know what it looks like?

You must know that the dragon totem used by the royal family of the Great Yan Dynasty is not so detailed. It is just a simple drawing. It feels like a snake with horns and beards.

It seems that people no longer need to be afraid of violating taboos.

But just listening to Xiao Ling's description, they really couldn't imagine it!

What a headache.

Just when everyone was feeling worried, a refreshing young voice sounded: "Xiao Ling, come and see, does the Dragon God look like this?"

Everyone looked towards the place where the sound came from and found that at some point, Yang Chengsi had drawn a picture on the ground with a small wooden stick.

Everyone looked at the painting on the ground. Although there were only a few strokes, it was very shocking! The shape and appearance were exactly the same as what Xiao Ling just described!

Jiayin came over and looked at the ground. She was really surprised when she saw it at first sight. Isn't this what she looked like in her true form? Except for the different colors.

She had admired her own body in the water mirror many times. Cousin Yang was really amazing. He could draw her appearance just by listening to Xiao Ling's description.

Although there are some details that are a little different, it's generally not bad.

Then Jiayin sent a message to Xiaoling: "That's it. Just make your body a little fatter, your head a little bigger, and the color can be changed to gold."

Xiao Ling said quickly: "Yes, yes, the Dragon God said it is like this. Just make the head bigger, the body fatter, and the color can be changed to gold."

The patriarch, Fang Yunping, was also very excited. It would be easy to describe it with a specific look, and they could follow it.

At this time, Yang Chengsi said again: "How about I carve it out of wood first, and then let the craftsmen make a big one according to it."

Everyone agreed that this was a good idea. They also knew a little about the Yang family, and Fang Wei learned the exquisite wood carving skills from his uncle's eldest cousin.

This is not just carpentry but real carving craftsmanship.

For example, the few people in the Fang family who are good at carpentry can only make some simple furniture. It would be difficult for them to carve patterns on it.

The Yang family's cousin is different. All he makes are hollow carved furniture, which are beautiful and expensive. They are sold exclusively to wealthy families.

Just like when they went to the county to find someone to carve a shrine, ordinary carpenters couldn't do it.

Fang Yunping clapped his hands directly, "Thank you for your hard work. The Yang family boy is really amazing. He can draw a description of three or two sentences. From now on, he will definitely be better than his predecessor."

Everyone on the side nodded in praise.

At this time, someone asked: "Then how big of a temple do we want to build? Chief, do we have enough money?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience fell silent and all looked at Fang Yunping.

Fang Yunping cleared his throat and said: "There are still more than 800 taels of silver left. I originally planned to keep it to build the ancestral temple. Now we can build the Dragon Temple first, but it will definitely not be too big."

Eight hundred taels to build an ancestral hall is pretty good.

If it were to build a temple, it would be a bit unsightly.

What was built was the size of a family temple, which was indeed a bit shabby.

After hearing the good news here, he sent a message from his spiritual consciousness and asked Xiao Ling to ask them how much silver they needed to build the big temple.

After listening to Xiao Ling's question, Fang Yunping calculated and said: "If we build an ordinary temple, it will be the one with two entrances, with only the main hall and the side hall. It will cost at least two thousand taels. If we build a larger temple with three entrances, it will cost at least two thousand taels."

It costs three to four thousand taels no matter what, and that doesn’t include the golden body of the statue.”

Temples are not like private houses, the wood used is more exquisite, and the pigments are extracted from gemstones and are very expensive to build.

So after these repairs are completed, the statues inside need to be gilded, which is not a small sum of money.

What Fang Yunping thought of was to use that small box of gold.

Originally, Fang Yunping thought that it would be reserved for emergencies in the clan in the future. After all, he still had to send the children in the clan to school.

Each year's exams, as well as the fees for future scientific examinations, must be set aside.

After all, they don't have any income yet, and they still have money to buy a shop, etc., so they have to plan for it.

However, building a temple is indeed a big deal.

After all, everyone knows the miraculous power of the Dragon God. With the Dragon God’s blessing, are you still afraid that you won’t have money and other things in the future?

When Jiayin heard this, he was a little excited, hey! I can finally throw out the money!

Directly let the little spirit fly to the middle of the open space and tell them about the Dragon God's reward.

Little Ling was a little confused, but he still obeyed and flew to the open space in the middle.

According to the meaning of Jiayin, he said: "This is a reward from the Dragon God!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a row of large boxes appeared in the open space!

Everyone was stunned on the spot, not knowing how to react.
Chapter completed!
