Chapter 222 Fragrant Volcano Temple
Meanwhile, in Kangcheng.
"Mom...isn't this a bad idea...shouldn't we have told Tiger and the others beforehand?"
Looking at Yi's mother, who was directing a group of people to burn incense and worship the statue, Yi Chen's lips twitched.
"Didn't I tell you, your mother, that we should build a temple and burn incense for the mountain gods?"
Besides, we weren't the only ones who saw the mountain god and his companions back then.
Let's set aside whether the police station has over a thousand people and whether their discipline is strict or not.
Jiang Wu's gang, along with some who hadn't shown up yet but were watching from afar, had already started bragging about it when they got back.
The existence of the Mountain God and other deities is no secret in Kangcheng.
That's why I did it this way.
Now that everyone makes a living by hunting, we need to distinguish the mountain gods from those wild beasts.
Otherwise, what if the people of Kangcheng, once they have some interaction with the Mountain Gods, don't recognize them and offend them?
Besides, the mountain gods are the saviors of our Kangcheng, so what's wrong with paying them homage?
I've already told Lao Qin that in difficult times, we don't care about materialism anymore.
What we Cannes people need right now is a spiritual anchor. Only when we have hope do we have the motivation to keep living!
Yi's mother pursed her lips, but spoke with great conviction.
"OK then……"
Yichen was speechless and could only look blankly at the small "mountain god temple".
The entire mountain god temple is only the size of a telephone booth, with a huge snake carved on it, coiled at the very back.
Ahead were four tigers of different sizes: one majestic, one benevolent, one alert, and one very fat.
In addition, a sable stood in front of the alert tiger.
The entire statue is so lifelike, it seems to be from the same mold as the ancient people.
And this is also Yi Mu's masterpiece.
She drew portraits of the Cang Nian family and then had the police station's earth-elemental ability user create a statue of them.
As a wealthy woman before the spiritual revival, Yi Mu had nothing to do all day, so she cultivated an interest in painting to cultivate her mind and pass the time.
Originally, she wanted to build a grand temple to show the gratitude that the Cang Nian family had shown to Kang Cheng!
However, considering that Kangcheng's resumption of production relies entirely on manpower, and the vast majority of people don't even have a house.
At this time, going to such lengths to build a temple would not only fail to bring incense offerings to the Cang Nian family, but it would be lucky if they didn't get criticized.
Fortunately, thanks to the third-tier evolved meat from Cang Nian, Kang City is seeing a steady stream of third-tier powerhouses emerging.
Without the Queen's command and coordination, the scattered Zerg unsurprisingly wandered aimlessly near Kangcheng, significantly increasing the defensive pressure on Kangcheng.
However, this also provided Kangcheng with more food sources and made it easier for second-tier evolvers to emerge.
Among the thousands of evolved individuals in Kangcheng, there are quite a few with earth-type abilities or those who can excel in building houses.
Therefore, under the coordination of the Kangcheng Police Department, everyone worked together and many houses have been quickly erected.
More people now have a place to stay instead of living in tents or even sleeping directly on the ground.
The previous exodus and riots caused by the insect swarm were quickly suppressed by Qin Changyi's decisive and ruthless methods.
After the purge, many civilian evolvers were executed, but with ample evolutionary resources, Qin Changyi was not worried about the safety of Kangcheng.
The scum among the evolved beings are gone once they're dead; only the evolved beings who are continuously trained can truly protect Kangcheng.
However, the conflict between people resulted in many deaths, and most people instinctively panicked.
Even though they understood that the police were eliminating those who oppressed them.
But they couldn't be sure if the police would once again become a source of oppression for them.
Therefore, in order to alleviate such panic, Qin Changyi agreed to Yi's mother's plan.
The story of Cangnian's family was embellished with some artistic flair and told to the people of Kangcheng, making it a myth and inspiring them to worship Cangnian.
According to Yi Mu's account, Cangnian was the reincarnation of a mountain god. In this life, his family was captured by poachers, so he traveled hundreds of miles to Kangcheng to rescue them.
This incident caused quite a stir not only in Kangcheng, but also on the Chinese internet.
For several days, the trending topics were all about young Cang Nian being photographed by passersby on the street.
At that time, many busybodies connected the dots and speculated that Cangnian had deliberately lured passersby to the poachers' base in order to rescue his family.
Therefore, Cangnian also earned the nickname "the smartest tiger cub".
However, at the time, everyone just regarded it as a far-fetched coincidence.
As for Yi Mu, it means that Cang Nian's family was rescued by the citizens and police of Kangcheng, so they are friendly to the people of Kangcheng and are the guardians of Kangcheng.
Therefore, anticipating that Kangcheng would be destroyed by the insect swarm, he stepped forward, killed the insects, and saved Kangcheng.
Through this embellished story, Qin Changyi wanted to convey to the people of Kangcheng not only a spiritual sustenance but also a subtle hint.
That is, the people of Cannes do not need to fear that the police will become an oppressive force over them. If the police really do that, they will be punished by the Cang family.
Although it sounds far-fetched, Cannes right now really needs a strong emotional support.
In addition, people in the Northeast Snow Mountain area generally believe in gods and ghosts to some extent, and the Five Immortals of the Northeast are something that most people in China have heard of.
Therefore, through the spread of public opinion, this story quickly became a consensus among Cannes residents.
A powerful mountain god protects Kangcheng, a mountain god stronger than the police force.
If the police dare to bully them, they will be punished by the mountain god!
What if people are afraid of a powerful being?
Then let's create a more powerful entity that is purely friendly to everyone and can serve a regulatory role!
The Cang Nian family holds this significance for Kangcheng.
As a result, the anxiety and fear in the hearts of the Cannes residents have indeed decreased considerably.
Considering that modern people are somewhat resistant to kneeling, Mother Yi simply said that the mountain god does not like kneeling, and everyone can offer incense while standing.
As for incense, there's nowhere to get it under these conditions. When people are digging through ruins looking for supplies, nobody knows how to dig for that stuff.
Therefore, to simplify it further, just find a dry grass stem, light it, and burn it in the incense burner placed in front of the small temple.
The beastman mountain god doesn't have many rules!
No problem!
As a result, many survivors in Kangcheng would light incense before going out, praying for a bountiful harvest and a safe and peaceful day.
After returning, I lit incense to thank the mountain god for protecting me and allowing me to return safely.
Whether the Cangnian people actually have such authority or can protect them is irrelevant.
Since it's free, I might as well believe it a little!
