Chapter 14 Mazu Temple
After arranging the work of the territory, Ouyang Shuo suddenly seemed to have nothing to do. Thinking of the statue of Mazu that I found in the market before, I suddenly had an idea.
The village temple was built in the southeast corner of the territory, as the basic building of the third-level village, covering an extremely wide area, and the area was comparable to the current lord's mansion. As a village-level temple, the village temple has only one main hall.
In front of the main hall is a square surrounded by stone walls, which is extremely atmospheric. Passing through the square, you will see the main hall. In the main hall, there is the shrine platform, which enshrines the wood-carved statue of Mazu and two statues of the accompanying gods. In front of the shrine, incense is around, and it looks extremely solemn.
When the player builds a village temple, they can choose which god or gods to worship. There is no doubt that Ouyang Shuo chose Mazu and Mazu's reparance clairvoyance and Wanlier.
Ouyang Shuo exited the main hall, came to the middle of the square, and took out the statue of Mazu (remnant).
"System prompt: It has been detected that the player has no clothes and has a special item: Mazu God Statue (Remnant), this item is very consistent with the current village temple, do you want to use it?"
"Use!"
A flash of white light flashed, and the statue of Mazu flew up from his hand and hovered in the air. The statue gradually grew larger, and finally became a 9.6-meter-high white marble Mazu full-length statue, which fell in the center of the square. Mazu is like holding Ruyi, stepping on the reef and waves, graceful and atmospheric.
"System prompt: The village temple of Shanhai Village is blessed by the statue of Mazu, and it will be automatically renamed Mazu Temple, and the attributes will be greatly improved, please check it out for yourself!"
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for building a Mazu temple in the wilderness without clothes, spreading the belief in Mazu, and rewarding 200 merit points and 400 reputation points."
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for breaking through 1000 points of reputation without clothes, improving to become famous, and automatically obtaining a silver-level title - Baume & Mercier (10% increase in the favorability of historical figures)."
Ouyang Shuo hurriedly checked the attributes of the Mazu Temple to see what surprises he could bring to himself.
[Name]: Mazu Temple (sealed)
[Type]: Hidden building
[Function]: Spread the belief of Mazu, improve the satisfaction of residents by 20%, and increase the popularity of the territory by 5%
[Characteristics]: Blessing of the Sea God (Increases the fleet's ability to resist storms at sea by 40%)
[Evaluation]: This is a sealed Mazu temple, with a faint trace of Mazu divine power. Incense is offered to help break the seal.
Oh my god, it's really a hidden building. This time it really hit the jackpot, and the rarity of the hidden building is comparable to that of an artifact. In the past five years, there were no more than five well-known hidden buildings. Even if there were hidden buildings in the lord's territory that were deliberately concealed, Ouyang Shuo estimated that the total number would not exceed ten.
The Mazu faith is one of the most representative folk beliefs in China. Mazu is also one of the three major deities worshipped by the state, the other two being the Yellow Emperor and Confucius. For such a revered deity, temples are defined as hidden buildings, but it is also said that in the past.
The accident of the Mazu Temple attracted the attention of the villagers. The nine-meter-high statue of Mazu is really a bit of a standout in these cabins in the first-class villages, and you can't pay attention to it.
The villagers rushed to the Mazu temple one after another, and saw the white marble Mazu statue standing in the center of the square, and they all bowed sincerely and thought it was a miracle.
At this point, the Mazu belief officially took root in Shanhai Village, slowly spreading to the entire Lianzhou Basin, and eventually to the entire southern coast. Ouyang Shuo is looking forward to the day when the prosperous incense can lift the seal of the Mazu Temple and restore the glory of Mazu.
Out of the Mazu Temple, Ouyang Shuo went straight to the barracks. In the barracks, the militia squad has been divided into two squads under the auspices of Shi Wansui, led by Zhang Daniu and Sangouzi respectively.
The two who had just become the captains of the detachment looked extremely excited and faintly proud. People like Migoko, who are usually a little gloomy, have a smile on their faces.
Ouyang Shuo didn't have the time to show off with them, and handed over the "Seawater Salt Drying Technical Manual" to Shi Wansui, after a brief explanation. He directly called the first team and followed him to the woods to the west to look for wild boar cubs.
As usual, the team made a brief stop at the lumber yard. Depositing the war horses, Ouyang Shuo called two lumberjacks. Let them nail a large cage out of a wooden plank, and fill it with hay. Two militiamen were arranged to carry the empty cage and go straight to the area where the wild boar was active.
Along the way, it was also calm, and when you encounter wild dogs and wild wolves that are not long-eyed, you can solve them directly and quickly. After all, the militia has been promoted to level 5, and after a whole day of fighting yesterday, it is no longer Wuxia Ameng.
I don't know if it's a matter of luck, or if the beast cubs are really scarce. In the morning, I encountered a lot of wild boars, but I didn't see a single wild boar with piglets. The teacher is not good, and Ouyang Shuo's stubborn temper has also come up. He simply did not go back to the lumber yard to rest, but simply ate some dry food that he had brought, and ordered the soldiers to rest directly in the woods. After an hour, re-prepare for battle.
Taking advantage of the break, he pondered it carefully to see if there were any negligent details that he did not grasp and worked in vain. Suddenly, the figure of the boar king from yesterday flashed through his mind.
By the way, the "Wild Boar Domestication Technique Manual" was dropped from the wild boar king, does it also imply that the wild boar cubs are nearby? Anyway, Ouyang Shuo was going to take them for a spin in the afternoon, it was better than headless flies like now.
An hour later, he beckoned to Zhang Da Niu, who was not far away, "Da Niu, come here." ”
Zhang Daniu immediately trotted over and said humbly: "My lord, are you looking for me?!" ”
"Well, we're going to change tactics in the afternoon. I decided that we would go straight to the place where the boar king showed up yesterday. That area may not be peaceful, you tell the brothers below to cheer up, don't drop the chain for me. Do you understand? ”
"Understood!"
"Go, call everyone up, and we'll go at once!"
The team rushed to the place where Shi Wanzai and the Wild Boar King fought yesterday, and the scene was still a mess. Ouyang Shuo took the lead, and after Zhang Da Niu pressed, a group of six people formed an attack formation and slowly advanced along the footsteps of the Wild Boar King.
After walking for almost half an hour, just when Ouyang Shuo began to doubt whether his speculation was correct. A "hum" sound came from not far away, and I couldn't help but feel refreshed. It's too familiar, this kind of cry is very similar to the cry of the wild boar king yesterday, and I can hear it at once. Is there still a wild boar king?
Cautiously continuing to move forward, only a dozen meters away, a cave appeared in front of everyone. The cave is three meters high and more than two meters wide. Through the entrance of the cave, a huge wild boar can be vaguely seen lying in the hole.
This boar was larger than a normal boar, but it was not as large as the boar king's huge body. What's even happier is that next to the wild boar, more than a dozen little piglets are lying in a row. Ouyang Shuo used primary reconnaissance to check the attributes of the wild boar.
Name: Mutated Boar (Elite)
[Level]: Level 8
[Skill]: Savage Charge
[Evaluation]: This is a mutated female wild boar who was robbed by the wild boar king to breed offspring.
It turned out to be the wife and children of the wild boar king yesterday. Level 8 elite monsters, with Ouyang Shuo's current strength, are still a little reluctant if they are hard to shake head-on.
The easiest way is to let the militia form a circle while the boar has not yet discovered them, and at the same time throw the spear in his hand at the boar, and keep it from dying and seriously injured. The problem is that in this way, it is easy to accidentally kill the piglets lying next to the wild boar, which is a bit more than worth the loss.
Another option is to have a fast militia first lure the boar out of the cave, while the rest of the men lie in ambush on either side. When the boar rushes into the ambush circle, everyone attacks together, and the storage can be killed. There are certain risks associated with this. After all, you have to fight wild boars in close quarters, and if you are not careful, you may be hit by wild boars.
At the critical moment, Ouyang Shuo made a decision and decided to adopt the second method. The probability of manslaughter in the first method was too great, and he couldn't believe that this group of recruits could throw their spears accurately. For the sake of this group of wild boar cubs, it is worth taking some risks, and it is worth asking for wealth and danger! Besides, as long as it is not seriously injured or died on the spot, it can still be treated by relying on Dr. Song's gold sore medicine.
The plan was settled, one militiaman was arranged to seduce the wild boar, and the rest were ambushed in the grass on either side. The militiaman picked up a stone from the ground, ran to the mouth of the cave, and threw the stone in his hand at the boar. Wild boars are attacked for no reason, where can they endure it. He got up violently and rushed out of the hole, vowing to tell the story of this little thief's broken corpse. As soon as the militia saw the boar get up, they ran back.
Soon, the wild boar ran into the ambush circle. The five of them quickly burst out of the grass and stabbed their weapons into the boar's body. He was not greedy for merit, and immediately pulled out his weapon after being stabbed, and quickly retreated.
At the critical moment, the accident still happened, and the spear of a militiaman was actually stuck by the skeleton of a wild boar and was not pulled out for a while. When he reacted and was ready to abandon the spear and retreat directly. The angry boar had already reacted, turned its head, and was about to launch a savage charge.
At this time, Ouyang Shuo on the other side also reacted. He did not retreat, but advanced, and stabbed the iron spear in his hand into the boar's body again. The boar was attacked from behind, and sure enough, it stopped again, ready to turn around and deal with the bastard who was sneaking up on the bastard from behind.
It's a pity that it has lost its last chance to seriously wound the enemy. When Zhang Daniu and the others saw Ouyang Shuo rushing up again, they all reacted and turned around to re-encircle the wild boar. Another round of punctures, the wild boar finally couldn't stand it anymore and was seriously injured to the ground.
Ouyang Shuo ordered the militia not to act rashly, so they formed a circle on the periphery, waiting for the wild boar to bleed to death. He knew that a badly wounded beast was dangerous, and the blow before death was no joke. Good hunters have enough patience, and the impulsive faction has long been fed to the beasts.
"System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for successfully killing a mutated boar (elite) without clothes, and reward 1000 experience points."
"System Prompt: How can the player say that the level of no clothes has been increased to level 8!"
With a flash of white light, Ouyang Shuo was successfully promoted to level 8, and the militia was also promoted to level 7. Go up and collect the carcass of a wild boar and get two wild boar skins.
Perfect Boar Skin: Quality 6, high-grade leather collected from the Boar King, which can be used to craft armor.
After getting rid of the wild boar, everyone can finally get the spoils of war with peace of mind. A group of people came to the entrance of the cave, and the dozen or so little piglets were huddled together, at a loss. Ouyang Shuo counted carefully, there were twelve heads, it was really a big gain. No, six people surrounded the little piglets, and caught this group of little guys who had no resistance into the cage in three or two clicks.
Just as everyone was about to walk out of the cave, Ouyang Shuo suddenly noticed that something flashed in a corner of the cave. I walked over and searched and found a black ring.
[Name]: Ring of Courage (Black Iron Grade)
[Attribute]: Increases troop morale by 5%
[Evaluation]: A ring with a single effect, if it is used reasonably, it will have unexpected effects.
In the black iron level equipment, the attributes are good, and it is a relatively rare accessory. Ouyang Shuo directly put it on the middle finger of his right hand.
At this moment, a system announcement sounded, making Ouyang Shuo stand on the spot.
"System Announcement: Congratulations to the player Emperor Chen for becoming the first lord in China to upgrade his territory to a second-level village, and he will be rewarded with a merit value of 1100 points!"
"System Announcement: Congratulations to the player Emperor Chen for becoming the first lord in China to upgrade his territory to a second-level village, and he will be rewarded with a merit value of 1100 points!"
"System Announcement: Congratulations to the player Emperor Chen for becoming the first lord in China to upgrade his territory to a second-level village, and he will be rewarded with a merit value of 1100 points!"
Emperor Chen, the representative of a new generation of a powerful political group in reality, is the head of the six hegemons of Handan. The first player to establish a village in China is now the first lord to be promoted to a second-tier village.
For the representatives of these big powers, there is only one reason that restricts the upgrading of their territory at this stage, and that is the lack of architectural drawings. The population problem that restricts Ouyang Shuo is not a problem for them at all. Directly let the individual adventurer settle down, and the population can be replenished in an instant.
The inertia of history is still strong, and Ouyang Shuo, a reborn butterfly, still has a long way to go if he wants to cause a tsunami. In the next few days, the other five members of the Handan Six Tyrants should also be upgraded to second-level villages one after another.
