Devotion to divine spirits always requires the recitation of their doctrines, offerings of sesame oil, and frequent worship.
This is the conventional behavior, the contribution necessary when ordinary people interact with divine spirits.
However, if the object of worship is not a True God, then a mere stick of incense and a little sesame oil are far from sufficient.
Obviously, the elder who became a Walking Corpse was not a True God.
"My brother-in-law said he would give me a village, and he would give us some wells—"
Elder Ran wanted to say that the Wu family should not be deceiving people like this.
But not only did his sentences seem incoherent, the incoherence was also cut off halfway by the temple priest of the Wu family:
"Yes, the village has been given to you, hasn't it? And aren't the Corpse Nourishing Wells being dug as we speak? My Wu family has not broken its promise."
