Let’s talk about Mr.
Jin Dian’s accumulation of wealth.
In the 1930s, the warlords were fighting, and the people were in dire straits.
The Yellow River flooded year after year, and the people had no way to survive.
Some local gentry gathered to discuss and planned to build a Dragon King Temple on the edge of the Yellow River to protect this area from good weather.
At this time, an old fortune teller came from nowhere and told everyone: "You guys are really ignorant.
I don't know how many temples have been built on both sides of the Yellow River to worship the Dragon King who brings rain from all over the world.
There will be droughts and floods.
Floods don’t always follow the common people of Li.
What's the reason for this?
Just because the temple is full of clay bodies, you can burn incense and make offerings, how can it show its effectiveness?
Now listen to me, at noon tomorrow, there will be an immortal family passing by in the Yellow River.
It's a chance.
It’s rare, something you can only come across, so please come and watch it when the time comes.”
Everyone was half-believing and half-doubtful, wondering if there would be any fairy family in the Yellow River, or maybe there would be a big fish.
Most people thought that the old fortune teller was just talking nonsense and didn't want to pay attention to it.
But there are always a lot of good people, and the news soon spread all over the country.
From the dignitaries to the traders and footmen, they all came specially to watch.
There were huge crowds of people on the shore, shoulder to shoulder, and the city wall seemed to be built.
Gathered together, it was so crowded.
Everyone has been waiting since morning.
The turbid current in the Yellow River is rolling, but there is no movement.
Seeing the sun rise at noon, people can't help but talk about it, thinking that they have been deceived by charlatans.
But then the sharp-eyed people see Two small black spots appeared downstream.
At that time, the crowd exploded, and they all pressed forward to see what was going on.
They saw the corpses of two boys and girls, dressed in ancient clothes from head to toe, floating against the current in the Yellow River.
At that time, they witnessed this movement against the current.
The people who found the corpse, numbering in the tens of thousands, knelt down to worship.
At this time, the fortune teller stood up, dragged the floating corpse to the shore with a hook and pole, burned it in public, and then mixed it into the mud.
He molded two clay bodies of "the two immortals in harmony" and built a temple on the spot to worship them.
The common people all said that this time When they met a true immortal, they were afraid of falling behind others, so the rich would contribute money and the powerful would contribute, so those faithful men and women took off their gold and silver jewelry on the spot and asked the old fortune teller to preside over the construction of the temple.
In fact, this matter is also a deception in the golden pin industry.
It is the so-called "eye-catching method".
The two floating corpses that floated down in the Yellow River were beggars abducted from other places by the fortune teller.
They were fed until they were fat and then killed.
They were then dressed up with costumes from the troupe, sealed with wax, and hidden at the bottom of the river.
Someone upstream used a winch to drag the cable backwards, which resulted in the spectacle of a "dead body walking against the current".
This group of people took advantage of the superstitious psychology of the people, took the opportunity to amass money, and became rich in one fell swoop
