Chapter 92: The Transformation of Wu Bogong in Solo Village

Yong County, Solo Village.

The village seemed particularly quiet in the middle of winter.

However, on every sunny day, you can still see many villagers, with their heads hunched, sleeves inserted, leaning against haystacks, basking in the sun and chatting.

Thanks to the Internet, life in Thoreau Village has become much better this year.

At least there's no problem filling my stomach.

Many wealthy families also bought new coats, which made the children run around the village beautiful, and some old ladies were so jealous that they kept gossiping about them, saying that it wasn't even the New Year yet, why were they wearing new clothes? They were just showing off.

However, compared with the prosperous village, the land temple outside the village seems a bit desolate.

It has been so cold and no one has gone to worship for a long time.

Naturally, no one cleaned it up.

The temple, having lost its popularity, appears to be becoming increasingly dilapidated.

The howling north wind blew through the cracks in the wooden door and blew the incense ashes on the incense stand everywhere.

Makes the temple look even more dilapidated.

Fortunately, the land gods live in the underworld, and the underground palace in the underworld is as majestic as ever.

At this time, a private banquet was being held in the underground palace.

It is the dead of winter and people are hibernating.

The activities of burning incense and offering sacrifices have been greatly reduced, so the local land gods are moving around more frequently.

Most of those who visit Wu Bogong now are the "people with lofty ideals" who supported Wu Bogong in the beginning.

That special period of unity made this small circle seem extremely solid.

"Hey, it's already the middle of winter and the annual tax is coming. Are you all ready?"

As they drank and chatted, the local chief of Da Zhou couldn't help but ask about the upcoming big problem.

"Alas, what's the point? Ever since the advent of the Internet, my incense has been declining day by day. I'm afraid this year's annual tribute will be a big problem."

The landowner of Xiaozhao Village sighed and drank the worry-relief drink in the cup.

"It's difficult for me too. Although the City God Temple has reduced incense offerings by 30%, it is still a bit overwhelmed to provide the remaining 70%. We are relying entirely on the incense offerings during the Spring Festival."

"Don't panic, everyone. If it doesn't work, we can get together then."

The land owner of Cuifengping comforted him.

He said he was just pooling money together, but in fact he was already planning to pay out money to subsidize his brothers.

Compared with other land gods, his situation is much better.

However, among the few people, there are few who earn money from the online course section. Although the money is not much, it is better than what the villagers earn from their daily sacrifices.

"We can still cope with it this year, but what about next year? And what about the years after that?"

Wu Bogong couldn't help but sigh.

"Uncle Wu, why don't you try online classes?" advised the land god of Xiaozhao Village.

Before Wu Bogong could speak, the landowner of Cuifengping said:

"It's difficult to join the game now!"

"How to say?"

"You also do online courses, how can you not know the situation? How many people are competing for donations in the online course section now? The income from my donations has been getting lower and lower day by day. It seems that if there is nothing new, I am afraid that I will be forgotten by the public!" The land owner of Cuifengping shook his head and sighed.

"How could this be? As far as I know, the Internet has spread to several cities with a population of over ten million. How could there be no incense? Could it be that Gu Zhenzai kept it for himself?" said the local land of Da Zhou.

"Who knows! Maybe he is hoarding the incense and withholding our offerings." The local god of Xiaozhao Village said sarcastically.

"Not really, it's just that the strong will always be strong! For example, in the online course section, there is a dragon girl who specializes in teaching people to dance. Her paid videos have been viewed over a million times each, and her popularity is as great as that of a palace."

"As far as I know, there are no less than a hundred people who have such incense. If you watch their videos, you will know that we are still behind the times."

At this point in the conversation, the atmosphere at the banquet became particularly dull.

"My job as a director is to protect the people and educate them! Now, with the advent of the Internet, all the gods and immortals are trying their best to study online videos. It's ridiculous! I think if this situation continues, the world will collapse!"

The land owner in Xiaozhaozhuang was somewhat furious.

Everyone was silent. "Actually, there is a way out right now."

Wu Bo, who had been silent all this time, spoke up.

"Oh, what way out?"

"Farming!"

Wu Bogong said solemnly.

Everyone looked at each other, a little confused.

"Now that food is linked to Internet points, many villagers are unwilling to go to the county town to exchange points because the mountains are high and the roads are long. This gives many practitioners an opportunity."

"In this case, why don't we farm, exchange food for points, and then exchange points for incense? With the power of our land, after combing the veins of the earth, the harvest will surely be high."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the local gods at the table looked at Wu Bogong in surprise.

"Why are you looking at me like this?"

Wu Bogong felt his back crawling with fear when he was looked at.

Cuifengping Landlord said with relief: "You finally figured it out. I thought you would reject the Internet forever."

Upon hearing this, Wu Bogong's face froze and he fell silent.

The local landowner of Cuifengping was stunned when he saw this, and quickly explained: "Mr. Wu, I'm not mocking you, I just..."

"It doesn't matter!"

Wu Bogong waved his hand and said with a slight sigh:
"I have always thought that Gu Zhenzai created the Internet for his own selfish interests, but now looking at his various actions, perhaps that is not the case. To be honest, on the day of the beginning of winter this year, Laozi had a rare meal of eight-treasure rice and offered me a bowl of it. This is the first time I have had such a precious offering since I took office in Solo Village."

The land gods were slightly shocked when they heard this, and all kinds of feelings surged in their hearts.

What if the Internet has taken away their incense?
But the Internet still provides them with many opportunities to earn money.

It’s just my lack of ability, I can’t blame anyone else.

At least among the people around me, the Cuifengping Land God has developed quite well.

In addition, "farming" mentioned by Wu Bogong is also a good way to go.

Their land god originally practiced the way of his own land and was most adept at combing the veins of the land.

If we can find three or five people to unite and enclose a piece of wasteland to farm, you won’t believe it, there really is a way out.

The most important thing is that Gu Zhenzai has indeed been doing practical things for the people of the world.

Whether it is online teaching;
Or points for food;

Especially the recent quelling of currency turmoil is said to be a task that was taken on by the company after the online bank was seized.

Character is revealed in details, and people’s hearts are revealed in trivial matters.

For all these reasons, they really had no reason to blame Gu Zhenzai.

In fact, even without the Internet, paying incense and offering tributes every year is still a headache.

"what!"

As the few people's thoughts were wandering, the Earth God of Cuifengping suddenly uttered a light "eh!"
"what happened?"

The other land gods looked over.

"You guys should go online and have a look. The Internet has been updated again. There is a lot of content. There is also a new 'Internet Temple'?"

The Cuifengping Earth God hurriedly greeted him.

The local gods were startled when they heard this, and quickly chanted the spell and logged into the Internet.

As the update pop-up window popped up from the lower right corner, a lengthy instruction manual came into my mind.

The local gods frowned and pondered the contents of the explanation quietly.

After a while, they all looked up suddenly, looked at each other in confusion, and said with a look of doubt:

"What does this Internet temple mean? Can people worship directly through the Internet?"

"It seems like we can also build temples on the Internet and receive incense and worship?"
