In the past few days, the apparition of Shui Bo on the Baiqing River spread rapidly in many towns and villages along both sides of the river, becoming another hot news after the apparition and trial of the City God in Mianyuan County.
Many people swore that they were at the scene when Baiqingjiang Shuibo appeared and witnessed this miracle with their own eyes.
However, when they described this miracle, they had different explanations, which led to multiple versions of the apparition, all of which were vividly described.
For a time, the Shuibo Temple located outside Baiyu Village became famous, and countless people came to burn incense and pray.
Even some people who were far away from the Baiqing River risked their lives and came here.
No matter whether Uncle Bai Qingjiang Shui can take care of their situation, it is always good to burn incense and become familiar with them.
If in the future, I ask Baiqingjiang Shuibo for something, I might be able to rely on this familiarity to get Baiqingjiang Shuibo's blessing.
In addition, other towns and villages along both sides of the river have also begun to actively build Shuibo temples.
This time, it was no longer Baiqingjiang Shuibo who entrusted them with a dream and asked them to build it, but they took the initiative to build it.
Baiqingjiang Shuibo's reputation is unparalleled, and the incense in Shuibo Temple is becoming more and more prosperous day by day.
During this period, there were too many people burning incense, which even caused a fire. Fortunately, the river patrol yaksha kept watching the river, saw that the situation was different, and brought water to put out the fire in time, so that the temple was not burned and no one was injured.
Originally, Uncle Bai Qingjiang was a little worried that this incident would affect his popularity. However, he never thought that after this incident spread, the pilgrims came even more enthusiastically.
Not only that, they rushed to follow suit and took the initiative to set fire to the temple...
Who doesn’t want to see the water waves in the river fly out to put out the fire on their own?
You can also see magical powers and magic in the last incense. There is no such thing anywhere else!
The pilgrims were enjoying themselves, but they suffered from the patrolling Yaksha who was guarding the riverside and was as tired as a dog every day.
Bai Qingjiang Shuibo also felt that this was not possible. If one day the patrolling Yaksha had other matters, wouldn't his temple be burned down?
Shui Bo's temple was destroyed by fire, which would be a great loss of face!
After discussing with the officials in the Shuifu Mansion, Baiqingjiang Shuibo contacted Qin Shaoyou, the non-staff prime minister, listened to his opinions, and finally decided to ask the temple Zhu to place a brazier at the entrance of the temple every day when the temple opens. , the patrolling Yaksha moved water and turned it into rain to extinguish it, which was regarded as a ceremony to open the temple door.
In addition, no pilgrims are allowed to deliberately set fire in the temple.
If someone violates this rule, he will be warned first, and if he violates it again, he will not be allowed to enter Shuibo Temple, his incense will not be collected, and he will not be blessed.
After this rule was introduced, the deliberate setting of fires in temples was finally brought under control.
But every morning, when Shui Bo Temple opens its doors, the number of people who come to watch is increasing day by day.
In addition, more and more people came to Shui Bo Temple to burn incense, so in the open space outside the temple, people gradually started to set up stalls and start small businesses, and the business was good.
The fisherman who had chatted with Qin Shaoyou and the others for a while would bring the fish he caught to sell here every day. The business was actually very good. Not only did he sell the fish quickly, but he also sold it at a very high price.
Because people think that the fish caught next to Shuibo Temple must be contaminated with spiritual energy. Whether it is bought and released or eaten, it is a good choice.
Every day when he returned to the fishing boat and counted the coins, the fisherman felt that he was one step closer to his dream of marrying a wife, which made him very happy.
Equally happy was Bai Qingjiang Shuibo.
The temple was full of incense, which made him laugh so hard every day that he couldn't close his mouth, and he became a little fatter.
Some people are happy, some are not so happy.
For example, Zhu Xiucai.
After Baiqingjiang Shuibo appeared, Zhu Xiucai, who was good at chasing hot topics, returned to Mianyuan County and immediately opened a new book to write the story of Baiqingjiang Shuibo.
Of course, when it came to confidential content, Zhu Xiucai did not write anything.
Either it was passed over in one stroke, or other case stories that could be written were changed and placed on the heads of Bai Qingjiang Shuibo and Qin Shaoyou.
Zhu Xiucai felt that his new book was very well written and would definitely continue its previous popularity and sell for a good price.
But when he found the library and showed the outline and the beginning of the story to the bookseller he had worked with many times, the other person shook his head.
"Master Zhu, your story is indeed well written. But this brotherhood is out of date. People nowadays don't like to see brotherhood. Or, you change Bai Qingjiang Shuibo to a woman and let Qin
Sir, let him have a poignant love story between man and god. Or, let Sir Qin and Uncle Bai Qingjiang develop a relationship that goes beyond brotherly love, struggle between morality, ethics, man and god, and be tortured to death.
Only in this way can we have a selling point and make money."
Zhu Xiucai was shocked: "But Uncle Bai Qingjiang Shui is not a woman, and we adults don't have that kind of hobby...Aren't you just making it up!"
The bookseller followed suit: "It's a romance, but I didn't say it had to be true."
"You can't make up any nonsense!"
After some struggle, Zhu Xiucai refused to revise the manuscript according to the bookseller's suggestion, even if the bookseller was willing to increase money.
Because he knew that this was not a matter of money. If he really had to write according to the bookseller's suggestion, even if he did not offend Qin Shaoyou, he would still offend Bai Qingjiang Shuibo.
At that time, no matter how much money you give, what's the use? It's not just about making money but spending it!
The bookseller who was rejected by Zhu Xiucai did not miss such an opportunity to make money. He turned around and found another person to write a story about the abnormal love between Qin Shaoyou and Bai Qingjiang Shuibo.
…
Of course, the characters in the book all use pseudonyms.
But people with a discerning eye can still tell at a glance who the characters in the book are about.
So, just when the bookseller had printed these books and was preparing to sell them to make money, his library was sealed by the government officials, and he was taken into the county government office for interrogation because someone reported that he leaked the secrets of court officials...
After hearing this, Qin Shaoyou had black lines all over his head.
God damn leaked the secrets of imperial officials...
Who was this clever person who came up with this crime of reporting? What kind of secrets of court officials did that bookseller leak?
Fortunately, those books have not been sold yet, otherwise, others would really think that there is some unclear relationship between him and Uncle Bai Qingjiang, and it would be a secret...
Qin Shaoyou originally wanted to go to the county government next door to talk to An Mutong about this matter, but as soon as he left the business room, he saw a night watchman guarding the city gate and rushed back to the Demon Suppression Division.
Seeing Qin Shaoyou, the night watchman hurriedly dismounted, raised his hands and said: "Sir, there is a monster coming from outside the city, saying that it is coming to seek refuge with you."
