"After all, I still can't help it!"

He Heng sighed and went up the mountain, and then was stopped by the earth dog that looked like a lion.

"I want to see Professor Wang."

He knew that the spirit beast was intellectual, it could understand human speech, and even some powerful spirit beasts could even speak human words, which was no different from the legendary monsters.

The earth dog raised his paw and wrote two words crookedly on the ground.

"Retreat."

"The professor is in retreat, when will he be out?" Looking at the two words written by the earth dog, He Heng was also surprised.

"I don't know." The earth dog shook his head as a reply.

I didn't see Wang Gan, and He Heng didn't stop on the "Shenzhi Mountain", and after going down the mountain, he directly called back to the capital.

To tell you the truth, people are in retreat, and people don't see it.

"I really don't understand what those people think, they are already planning to tear their faces, what are they doing with these superficial articles?"

On his way back, snow began to fall in the sky.

This is the first snow of the winter, and the snowflakes are small and scattered.

As he drove through the town, he suddenly changed direction and went to a Taoist temple in a corner of the town.

At this time, the Taoist temple was deserted, and there were very few people coming except for the New Year's festival on weekdays, but now on snowy days, there are even fewer people who come.

Just an old man is here to watch the door, or part-time.

When He Heng saw the old man, he took the initiative to step forward and handed a cigarette to the old man.

"It's a cold day, and it's still snowing, why are you here again?"

The old man had some impression of him, this person came a few days ago, and the cigarette he gave him was very good, and he looked like a leader in that faction, and he stayed in the Taoist temple for a long time when he came last time.

"Passing by, stop by and have a look." He Heng said with a smile.

"You smoke, I'll look around." As he spoke, He Heng handed the old man a cigarette.

"Okay." The old man smiled and nodded.

He Heng entered the Taoist temple, advanced to the main hall, worshiped Sanqing, and then went to the side hall, and went straight to a corner of the side hall, where there is a stone sculpture, full of dust.

This stone carving is full of pits, scars everywhere, and it seems that it has suffered a lot of sin.

Part of the statue's head was knocked off, and one of its arms was broken. The other palm is facing the sky, open, as if holding something.

"Mountain God!" He Heng said two words in his mouth, and his voice was very soft, so light that only he could hear.

During this time, he stayed in Qizhou to investigate Wang Qian and the "Shenzhi Mountain" where he was located.

After checking around, he found out that there was once a mountain temple on that mountain, and a mountain god was enshrined in it.

Later, the mountain temple disappeared, and he consulted a lot of information, and there was a legend that there was a man-eating lake at the foot of "Shenzhi Mountain", and many people fell into it without explanation.

So there was that "mountain temple".

In order to suppress the cannibalistic lake.

Conquer water with soil and suppress demons with gods.

After the "Mountain Temple" was built, that strange thing really didn't happen.

Until one day, two children of a family fell into the lake again, and the family lost their minds and went to the mountain temple to scold the mountain god.

That night, there was the sound of the earth shaking in the mountains, and the next day it was discovered that the lake had disappeared, and the dripping land where the lake had been located had been flattened.

People realized that it was the manifestation of the mountain god.

Later, I don't know why, the mountain temple gradually fell into disuse, and encountered a period of turmoil, so it was demolished, and it was actually secretly sold.

There is also a rumor that about 50 years ago, there was a severe drought in Qucheng, and many reservoirs dried up.

A statue was found in a dry reservoir at the foot of the western mountain, and next to the stone statue was a white skeleton with a broken skull.

At that time, the villagers thought about it, so they salvaged the stone statue and moved it to the current Taoist temple.

"Reincarnation Paradise"

After seeing this news, He Heng immediately came to this Taoist temple and found this dusty stone statue in a corner of the side hall.

After careful identification and analysis, he guessed that the stone statue placed in this corner was most likely the mountain god statue on "Shenzhi Mountain".

When those people stole the statues, they could not go to the village openly, but should have to cross the mountains, and the nearest road was to the west of the West Mountain, which was far away from the village.

There is a section of the mountain road on the west mountain that is relatively steep, and the bottom is close to the reservoir, and the stone statue is so heavy, they must have had an accident during transportation, and the stone statue fell into the nearby reservoir.

In the process, it is likely that he also took a thief into the reservoir and drowned in it.

During this time, He Heng also consulted some experts in the identification of historical relics, and according to their analysis, the history of this stone statue is at least 500 years.

According to the records of the mountain temple, the mountain temple was built no earlier than two hundred years ago. This is not consistent with the situation described in the information.

According to very limited records, there are two theories about the origin of the mountain god statue on "Shenzhi Mountain", one is that someone took the mountain stone in the mountain and carved it for three days and three nights, and asked the master to cast a spell to open the light, so it has divine power.

Another theory is that the "statue of the mountain god" fell from the sky. Directly smashed the ground into a big pit, and people built a "mountain temple" around the statue of the mountain god.

He Heng personally prefers the latter statement.

According to the legend recorded in the relevant sources, the mountain god has two treasures.

One is the "Mountain God Seal", which can command all things in the mountains and mountains in hand, and can also seal the land and protect the mountain gods.

One is the "Mountain God Sword", holding this sword to kill demons and protect the peace.

He looked up at the "idol" in front of him.

Looking at it like this, the "Mountain God Seal" should be held in the palm of this intact hand, and the "Mountain God Sword" should be held in the hand of the broken arm.

It's clear that those two things are missing, where did they go?

These days, He Heng has also been thinking about this matter, there are two possibilities, one is that it was really sold, and the other is that it may be picked up by someone, a local.

The statue of the mountain god fell into the water, and a person died, and those who stole the idol must have been very panicked. It's possible to lose it.

Broken arms, with swords should be relatively easy to see, and they may be taken away and sold.

If it is a seal, it is shaped like a mountain stone, and it is in a forest with lush vegetation.

Nine times out of ten, they will choose to steal the idol at night, and it is very likely that they will not find a single stone in the dark, panic, and not a single stone.

If the "Mountain God Seal" is true, it is a magic weapon.

Could it be that Wang Qian inadvertently got that magic weapon, and because of fate, he had the cultivation of his current body?
