Mountain gods
"Since our baby came back from the ancestral hall, she has become chattering."
"Hey! It's no wonder that the accident of the second dog hit this child quite hard. ”
"Stone, Dad told you, we Orion went up the mountain to lick the blood at the tip of a knife, you want to eat it, and the beasts want to eat you. You and Ergou Nawa have played since childhood, and my father and I have grown up naked together, and I am very uncomfortable when they are gone, but we have all avenged them. Father Shi lowered his voice and suppressed his voice, didn't you see it, how scary it should be, but I can't let your mother know. Come, your mother has made you wolf's tail soup to strengthen your child's guts. ”
"Dad, the second dog is not dead. Stone sat on the ground sharpening a rusty iron knife. ”
Father Shi sighed, everyone has already searched all the places that can be found nearby, if the second dog really ran into the mountains, it will be more than lucky.
"Let's eat, what are you sharpening this broken knife for? When the time comes, Dad will look for you, and Li Bo will give you a good one. ”
"Dad, this knife was given to me by the mountain god."
"Hey! This kid..."
The moon and stars are scarce, the frogs are chirping, and the trees on the col pull out long shadows on the village road.
Several tower-like men carried a tightly wrapped cloth and walked out of the village, pinching their hands and feet, but the leader was a thin old man, holding an iron crutch but not a crutche, for fear of making a little movement.
The group carried things to a remote place outside the village and set them on fire. After burning, he was about to leave, but he found that there seemed to be something in the ashes, and the old man used a crutch to pull it out, and found that this thing still had skin and flesh...... Rabbit!
In the ancestral hall
"Shi Er, your baby is amazing! Isn't that a rabbit when the game is burned? ”
Lin Mu: "Uncle Li, isn't that rabbit there originally?"
Lao Li: "Can I not see the firewood I piled up?" It's really evil, I still wonder, why don't I even have a bone, I didn't expect to pick up a rabbit. ”
"Lao Li, are you lying to everyone?"
"I lied to you, can the village chief still lie to everyone! We saw it with our own eyes. ”
Village Chief: "How do you know about the stone?" You talk about it carefully. ”
Shishi's eyes were a little wandering, and he said, "On that day during the sacrifice, I suddenly fainted, uh, in a dream I dreamed that a voice told me that it was a rabbit."
Village Chief: "So it must be the mountain god who has appeared and let the stone give us a wake-up call."
Stone: "Yes, village chief, when I passed out that day, I seemed to have seen the mountain god, and it was exactly the same as the stone statue."
"Did the mountain god say anything else?"
"He said the second dog wasn't dead yet."
"Did the mountain god say where the two dogs were?"
"He said that Ergouzi was caught, but he can't save it yet."
"Who caught Ergou?"
Although this group of men still asked questions in the tone of an elder, their attitude became much more respectful.
The village chief said slowly, "We have been hunting for a living for generations, and we have seen a lot of strange things in the forest, and countless tigers and wolves have been killed, but it is the first time that we have killed a monster." The rabbit is estimated to have become fine over the years, and came out to harm people. This is still a rabbit spirit is more ferocious than a tiger wolf, if it is really something else, then we can really deal with it. ”
Everyone was silent, although these hunters were a little stupid, but they were not fools, and the ferocity of the rabbit did leave a deep impression on them.
The village chief said, "But we have the protection of the mountain god, and the mountain god has entrusted the stone to pass on the word to everyone. As the head of a village, I decided that the key to the ancestral hall would be kept by the stones, which would come to the ancestral hall every day to worship the mountain gods. ”
"Village Chief! I'm not convinced! Lin Mu suddenly shouted.
Everyone was surprised, Lin Mu, this kid is not a few years older than the stone, and he has never been able to play with the stone, but he didn't expect to contradict the village chief.
"The key to the ancestral hall can only be held by the village chief, so if you give it to the stone, is the stone the next village chief! The stone has never even been up the mountain, and no one is better than him in the bow hunting method! Maybe the mountain god's manifestation is just his luck, maybe next time the mountain god will give me a dream. ”
Xiao Mang: "Although the stone is not good at hunting, but literacy is the most here for us, and the next village chief is not impossible."
Lin Mu: "What's the use of being literate!" Can you eat it as a meal? ”
Shi Er: "Village Chief, the stone is still too small, and it is really inappropriate to hand over the door key to him." ”
Stone: "Lin Mu is right, I can't be the village chief, and I can't take this key."
Village Chief: "Whoever takes this key!" Whoever is the head of this village is the same! It's all about protecting the village! Although the stone is small, it is suitable to hold the door key now, and no one should squeak. Just in case, everyone must be prepared not to let the monsters harm the villagers, let alone let the monsters harm the village! Stone, you go and worship the mountain god, if the mountain god is manifesting, you can tell me immediately! And the books that those servants took last time, are there any about monsters in them that you can tell you about? ”
Stone nodded, "Seems to be a little." ”
"Demons, can transform into human form, can hide grass and trees, can understand human language, often confuse people's hearts, snatch souls, demons come, disasters also come. Believe in my lord's 'Void God' and worship my lord, you can break the obstacle and avoid demons! ”
——
It doesn't matter if there are no keys in the place where it should be, and it is difficult to enter the place where it should not be even if there is no door or lock.
No one knew that Stone had ever been to the ancestral hall alone...
"Are you a mountain god?"
"You baby, you can really see me!"
"Mountain God, is Ergou still alive?"
"The baby is still alive."
"Where is he?! I told the village chief to save him! ”
"I can't save him yet."
"I'm going to save him!"
"Don't worry, don't worry, it's not time yet."
"Is this a youkai?"
"What do you see?"
"Bunny!"
"That's the rabbit."
"Bunny demon?"
"Just a normal rabbit."
"Why is this rabbit so big?"
"You have a lot of problems, don't say, don't say."
"Then the mountain god, are you a monkey demon?"
"Haha... What do you think I look like, baby? ”
"I saw monkeys, no wonder Zu Xun didn't let me hunt monkeys."
"Hahahaha, good! Good! Good! I really didn't expect that such a spiritual baby as you could appear in this village, and he could see through my true appearance. ”
"Spiritual power? Truth? What is it? ”
"You can see through the transfiguration, this is your spiritual power. Without transfiguration, it is its true nature. ”
"Then the mountain god is a monster?"
"You baby, demons are also good and bad, and you also have spiritual power, so aren't you also a monster. Grandpa told you that you must not tell anyone about this, otherwise there will be a big disaster in the village. You will not come here tonight and tell no one. Do you remember? ”
"I remember, can the mountain god also see what a youkai is?"
"Haha, the spiritual power is different, and the ability is also different."
"What is the power of the mountain god?"
"My ability is amazing, I can understand the language of all things, and I can hear the words of all things."
"Don't ask so much, grandpa will give you a treasure!"
"This broken knife? It's all rusty, can it still be used? ”
"Haha, the rust is a little rusty, grind it.".
"By the way, you baby don't go out and say that the mountain god is a monkey."
"Well, I remember, Grandpa Monkey."
