Chapter 1579 Gift Giving

Some cried bitterly, some knelt in reverence, some closed their eyes in prayer. Everyone had different expressions and movements.

Although they were prepared, the villagers knelt down less than ten minutes into the movie, which was faster than Duran expected.

In fact, the villagers were also wondering why the clothes worn by the gods in the movie were different from those on the temple murals and statues, but it didn't matter. That was the Lord Brahma, the true God who could not be disobeyed.

They just had to kneel down and offer their faith, and then the gods would bless them to reincarnate into good families in the next life.

Hinduism says that people are just nothingness when they are alive, and they are truly immortal after death. If you think about it this way, the sufferings of life are not sufferings, but there is no need to care about living without any meaning.

Because they believe in the afterlife, the living Indians are submissive. Even if they are degraded as untouchables, they will not resist, because reality is meaningless.

However, gods are still very important in their hearts. There are many gods in Hinduism. In addition to the three main gods, there are also water gods, fire gods, sun gods, and animals and plants, such as lotus, elephants, old cows, and even mice.

You can choose any god you want to believe in. Some people even believe in different gods every day and pray to different gods every day.

But the status of the three main gods is still unshakable, so when the three main gods appeared on the screen with voice-over, the villagers could not think of any other way to respect the gods except kneeling.

This is their belief.

"Are you the messengers of God?" Singh also knelt down, but he knelt not only for the movie, but also for the people of the Ming Dynasty. It was these people of the Ming Dynasty who brought the message of God and told them how God had protected them.

Only God can split the mountain with one punch to save the oppressed people and split the water with one palm to fish out the drowning children.

At this time, don't wonder why God doesn't let them die, but wants them to live and suffer. Because the gods have their own decisions, they will not let people die. Even if life is meaningless, they must live, because this is the will of the gods, and believers cannot and do not need to disobey. Living will naturally lead to death, and there will naturally be benefits after death.

The crew was shocked by these crying villagers. They could not understand why the villagers' reaction was so exaggerated.

"When they worship us later, you should be calm and don't panic." Duran reminded the crew.

The Brahmins knelt, so the villagers naturally had to kneel.

These people are the messengers of God, the messengers from the Kingdom of God.

Duran thought that Zhang Wuji wanted food, and it seemed that there was no need to trade. Even if these people starved all the untouchables to death, no, they starved all the civilians to death, they would pay tribute to the messengers with all their strength. Moreover, when offering sacrifices to the gods, they would not ask for material rewards, but only for a good life after death.

Within a few days, the surrounding villagers cut back on their clothes and took out their family property and lined up to send it. There was no need to exchange anything. They were all voluntary, and there were even people like Singh who wanted to offer all three daughters to the messenger of God.

There are more than one family who want to offer their daughters, and they are all high castes such as Brahmins and Kshatriyas. If they are lower castes, there is no chance to offer their daughters.

Of course, if there is no daughter, offering a wife is the same, because the wife is also the husband's property. He is not giving away women, but donating property, which is an act of worshipping God.

The crew never thought that the locals were so enthusiastic about gods. If it were the Ming Dynasty, although they could deceive people, it would definitely not be so exaggerated. Moreover, the Ming people would definitely ask for blessings when praying to gods and Buddhas, either for promotion and wealth or good health. They would never be so selfless as to even give away their wives and daughters.

Too pious, so pious that it is scary.

Dongfang Bubai regretted deceiving these honest people. The Ming people advocated reciprocity or not accepting rewards without merit. Now they just made a movie and deceived people's coffins. It really does not conform to their long-term education.

"What should we do now?" This was caused by Duran, and Dongfang Bubai hoped that Duran could solve it.

"Of course we will continue. We will accept all the gifts they send. We can choose whether to return the gifts or not. If anyone thinks the local women are beautiful, we can keep them."

"Now that there are more women than men in our Ming Dynasty, what do we need their women for?" Dongfang Bubai felt that there was no need to keep these women: "And how can I let them be separated from their families and abandon their wives and children?"

The problem is that they are all willing and even feel honored. However, Duran did not interfere with Dongfang Bubai's decision.

In the end, Dongfang Bubai thought about it for another night and finally decided to only accept food and not other tributes.

Although the villagers were very surprised, the gods had their own arrangements, so the Brahmin quickly persuaded everyone to go back and only leave the food. Singh still felt that it was a pity not to let his daughter serve the gods. He didn't understand whether those gods were men.

Dongfang Bubai was really not a complete man.

After the initial climax of faith, some people finally began to notice the clothes worn by gods and gods. They realized that the gods were the closest to gods and wore the same clothes.

Then they could not be heretics and had to be close to gods, otherwise they would not be respected enough.

"God's messenger, can you give us more beautiful and noble divine clothes?" Singer said humbly.

These clothes were originally intended to be traded to them. They took the initiative to ask for it, and Dongfang Bubai immediately had people distribute the clothes and gave them to them. Now the fleet needs to vacate the cabin to store food.

The villagers who got the clothes came to pay tribute again. Anyway, it was the rhythm of losing everything, but the more they lost, the more glorious it was.

The crew couldn't stand it anymore. Why did they give away all their property at any time? Didn't they really consider the lives of themselves and their families?

There was really no need to consider it, because as long as there was faith, the family would naturally be happy after death.

What's more exaggerated is that in order to be closer to the messenger of God, the whole family moved to the port. You know, there is no place to shelter from the wind and rain nearby, but they are not afraid at all. The simplest shed is fine. It doesn't matter if there is wind leaking on all sides. They kneel down to the port on time every day, regardless of wind or rain.

Fortunately, India is hot enough, with an average temperature of about 22 degrees throughout the year, and the coldest weather is above 16 degrees, basically there is no cold time. At this temperature, there is no concept of snow at all.

Soon a small village was formed outside the port.

The news from the seaside was finally transmitted to the city with the sea breeze. When the local monks and officials heard that there was a messenger of God, they immediately sent people to investigate.

After watching the movie, the investigator went back and immediately told his leader that it was really a messenger of God. He also saw God and saw God protecting them from the devil.

As a result, the people in the city were not calm and immediately prepared heavy gifts to pay respect to the messenger of God. The gifts they prepared were much richer than those of rural farmers. They were packed with gold, jewelry, and various precious metal utensils, packed in several boxes, and carried by people and elephants.
