Jiang Yanfeng said: "Mo Jin can't finish it, but this is a gift from the immortal alone, so..."
Before he finished speaking, the villagers said, "It doesn't matter, we are satisfied as long as we have water to drink."
"That's right. We can't give the Immortal the impression that we are greedy."
A little kid looked up and asked, "Brother Mo Jin, why did the immortal give you honey water alone?"
Mo Jin shook his head, "I don't know either."
He did nothing but replied to the immortal with two words, and then he got the honey water.
Jiang Yanfeng raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.
He asked: "What do you plan to do in the future? Have you thought about it?"
"In the future? In the future, we will grow more crops, have enough food and clothing, and live a good life!"
"Village Chief Jiang, stop beating around the bush and just tell everyone what you want to say!"
"Yes, you are the only one in the whole village who is educated. I believe you."
Hearing this, Jiang Yanfeng immediately gave up the idea of preaching to everyone. He said, "I want to open a private school in the village so that the children can learn to read and write with me during the day."
What he didn't say was that he wanted to compile a book to record the deeds of immortals.
"That's a good thing!"
"I have long wanted my child to go to school, but my family is poor and we don't have the means."
"Village Chief Jiang, if you want my child to learn to read with you, what are the conditions?"
"Village Chief Jiang, are children the only ones who can learn? I want to learn to read, too."
"I want to, but I still have to farm, otherwise I won't have food to eat next year."
The villagers expressed their opinions.
Jiang Yanfeng smiled and said, "My private school welcomes villagers of all ages to study with me. In addition, I don't need to pay tuition."
The villagers immediately retorted, "How can we not pay tuition? This is the rule. Even if we are poor, we can't learn from you for nothing. Otherwise, what will you eat and drink?"
You can't always rely on the immortals to feed you.
Jiang Yanfeng said, "Listen to what I have to say. I teach you to read, but there are conditions. I plan to set up a Mingyue sect, and only believers can enjoy the benefits of free reading."
"Ming Yue Sect?"
Most of the villagers were confused.
Only one of the more lively children suddenly shouted: "I remember now, the fairy who gave us food and drink called himself Mingyue!"
The elder next to him immediately said, "Don't be rude. How can a mortal call an immortal by his name?"
Jiang Yanfeng said: "After the sect is established, we will use the moon in the sky as a totem. I will gradually improve the doctrine and register the basic information of each believer."
The villagers said:
"Village Chief Jiang, let alone establishing a sect, even if you change the name of the village, we will all support it."
"Anyway, I must join the Mingyue Sect and believe in Mingyue Immortal."
"Yes, if I don't worship her, I will feel uneasy... In my lifetime, I have only seen the Immortal Mingyue appear. She is really good."
Luo Mingyue was outside the cardboard box and originally wanted to tell Jiang Yanfeng not to do all this, but after listening to the villagers' ideas, she put herself in their shoes and thought about it. If she was about to starve to death and could only count on the illusory gods to save her, she would also lack a sense of security, not knowing when the gods would abandon her.
Thinking of this, Luo Mingyue sighed and decided not to stop them.
Jiang Yanfeng said a few more things. First, the immortal had his own things to do and it was impossible for him to watch over them every day. Although the immortal did not reward them with food now, everyone should be considerate of the immortal and not develop negative emotions such as resentment and dissatisfaction in their hearts.
Second, no matter how tired you are every day, you must take a shower and keep yourself and your living environment clean at all times.
Third, now that the villagers have no worries about food and clothing, they need to find a way to open up a road to the town, or go to the neighboring village and ask a stonemason to carve a stone sculpture of an immortal so that it can be worshipped in the future.
The first two things are easier for the villagers, but the third one is difficult.
A villager said: "The road to the town is blocked by poisonous beasts, we can't get through..."
Mo Jin said: "I'll find a way."
His father made a living by hunting poisonous animals. He died in the mountains on his last try. After that, the Mo brothers never went up the mountain again. However, there was a book about hunting poisonous animals at home, but the Mo brothers could not read and could not understand it.
Jiang Yanfeng said: "That's all I have to say today. In addition, I still need a few days to prepare the location and teaching materials of the private school. I will notify you when they are ready... Now everyone go home and cook and eat."
When Luo Mingyue heard this, he took out the prepared stone basins without saying a word and put them down one by one.
"The immortal is coming!" some children cheered.
