Chapter 603: Substantial pie

When a person is in a desperate situation, at any moment likely to die, and suddenly arrives at a paradise, obtaining the warmth and abundance they have dreamed of, when their state of mind rises and falls sharply, they can obtain Qi.

And at this time, is it giving them dignity? No, it is teaching them obedience, letting them know that as long as they are obedient, everything will be fine, and being a good child will lead to simple happiness; only then is it easiest to obtain Qi.

Letting the refugees think for themselves—not to mention whether they have the ability—those who like to think independently not only have no Qi, but are instead unstable factors; they not only don't believe in the savior themselves, but will also persuade those around them not to believe.

This is the conclusion Little Wei Yuan reached after reading a pile of history books and some missionary classics circulated by the Great Precious Brilliance Pure Land. In short, if you want Qi, you cannot let them think; simple-minded refugees are good refugees.

Little Wei Yuan stood up abruptly and immediately gave a series of tasks to Human World Fireworks: design a room for commoners to live in, it must be a multi-story building. Such a simple task received feedback in an instant, and just the design plans provided over a dozen options.

Little Wei Yuan directly eliminated the overly simple and elegant plans, recalled the style of the Wei family courtyard when he was young, and then picked the one most similar. If you ask refugees to imagine a royal palace, they can't imagine it; what can move them most is still the large mansion of the landlord in their hometown.

Thus, Little Wei Yuan picked an old-fashioned plan with a full set of red wood heavy-lacquer furniture and handed it directly to Yu Zhizhuo, asking him to arrange for a few sets to be built in Zhike Town as quickly as possible. Yu Zhizhuo didn't quite understand, but Little Wei Yuan needed it urgently, so he arranged it immediately. This kind of work was too simple for a Dharma Form master craftsman of his level, so he immediately broke down the tasks and assigned them, and in less than a day, ten sets were built in Zhike Town.

Immediately following, the first batch of over thirty thousand refugees arrived.

Upon stepping into Azure Void, the refugees immediately felt their spirits lift, vitality bursting within their bodies, and many hidden illnesses disappeared without a trace. The sky was exceptionally blue and high, the sunlight exceptionally warm and gentle; placed in such a world, they didn't even feel that hungry anymore.

Subsequently, a tall archway appeared before them, and hundreds of fully armored soldiers guided the refugees to divide into several teams to pass through the sides of the archway. The soldiers told the refugees that only official residents of Azure Void who had reached the commoner rank were qualified to enter and exit under the archway, and the refugees accepted it naturally, feeling it was only right and proper.

Passing through the sides of the archway, cultivators gave each refugee a small steamed bun. This small bun wasn't enough for a single bite for the refugees, but cultivators kept saying that after registering to join Azure Void, they would be given a large steamed bun.

Immediately following was registration at the drill ground; after registration was completed, each person would have an extra wooden tablet and a large steamed bun in their hand, with their own name written on the tablet.

These refugees were all going to join Azure Void, which saved a step, and everyone was taken to the next venue to take a bath.

Little Wei Yuan had long ago ordered people to dig four large pits, pour cement, and pre-bury water inlet and outlet pipes. The water in the pits was three chi deep; the weather in the Shaman Domain was hot, so there was no need to heat the water additionally.

The refugees all had to take off all their clothes and then be driven into the water to bathe. The water had a thick medicinal smell, and after they entered the water, in the blink of an eye, a pit of clear water turned into turbid soup.

Each large pit could hold four or five hundred refugees at a time, and every stick of incense time could clean two thousand refugees; after each batch of refugees left the pit, they would be given a new set of clothes. In order not to dirty the new clothes, the refugees all washed themselves very earnestly.

Once a batch was washed, the four bath pits would be refilled with water. The clothes taken off by the refugees would be piled up in one place and burned. It was just that what Little Wei Yuan didn't expect was that after washing only four or five batches, the water outlet pipes in three of the four bath pits were actually blocked.

This made Little Wei Yuan realize once again that fine engineering was unreliable, so he simply released dozens of Dao Foundation warriors; after they finished washing, he directly used Dao techniques to lift the dirty water and then brought in new water. Such immortal-like means unexpectedly allowed Little Wei Yuan to receive quite a bit of Qi in advance. The refugees who changed into new clothes lined up in ten teams to visit the residences of the commoners of Azure Void.

The ten large mansions that had just been rushed to be built, full of the rich style of the Wei family courtyard and bearing the obvious personal color of Wei Youcai, made the refugees dizzy, and they all expressed that the mansions of famous wealthy families in their countryside were just like this.

These houses were all divided into two from the middle, with a large road in the middle, and the refugees walked on the large road, passing through the center of the houses. At this time, a soft, bubbly female voice kept saying in the air: "In Azure Void, as long as you become an ordinary commoner, owning such a residence is not a dream..."

Little Wei Yuan was watching intently in mid-air when he heard Cui Yu next to him say in a neither-fish-nor-fowl tone: "It's not a dream, it's a fantasy."

Little Wei Yuan glared at him: "Why are you tearing down my stage?"

Cui Yu pointed below and said: "This courtyard of ten zhang square, are you sure you can give one to every commoner?"

"The courtyard is just the background, the garden and the main hall are too." Little Wei Yuan's face didn't change and his heart didn't beat faster.

To be precise, everything in the mansion was a background, similar to the blue sky and white clouds in advertisements from the world beyond the heavens; only that tiny side room was real.

After leaving the mansion, cultivators gave each refugee a bowl of steaming medicinal soup, and then gave each person an oil pancake rolled with meat. Then there were special people to take them to reclaim land, desperately hinting to the refugees, both openly and secretly, that the fields they were opening up might be theirs in the future.

【In the future, possibly】 These keywords were all automatically ignored by the refugees.

!

One by one, the refugees had the painted pie in their heads, grabbed the real pancake in their hands, and were finally taken to kneel and give thanks before Little Wei Yuan's statue. This step made the cultivators of the Primordial Beginning Palace look sideways one after another, but Little Wei Yuan had a thick skin, counting the Azure Qi that kept coming in, laughing until his mouth couldn't close, and naturally didn't care about small secular prejudices.

This last step wasn't thought of by Little Wei Yuan himself, but when he was arranging the series of ritual processes to welcome the refugees, Monk Kong Que appeared from nowhere and said to Little Wei Yuan: "If the Wang Fu wants to harvest Qi, the simplest and most direct method is to erect a statue, guide the refugees to kneel and worship, and let them know who they should thank; that way the Qi is harvested the fastest and the most."

Speaking of harvesting Qi, the Great Precious Brilliance Pure Land was professional after all, with a heritage of at least one hundred thousand years. So Little Wei Yuan attached great importance to Monk Kong Que's opinion, but also felt quite ashamed, while insisting that Kong Que not call him Wang Fu.

Kong Que said: "If the Wang Fu doesn't like it, then Great Joy Bodhisattva is also fine. Oh, not putting up your statue is also fine; placing a few Dharma Forms of the Great Joy Wang Fu up there is the same, the Qi is ultimately harvested by you."

Little Wei Yuan felt that it was still better to place his own statue.
