The aunt took us to her residence, which is an ordinary double-storey house in the countryside, the room is very large, there are several rooms, some are still cement bricks, there is no decoration, many in the countryside are like this, after the house is built, because the funds are broken, so there is no decoration, compared to the hustle and bustle in the city, the countryside is almost quiet at night.

Because the aunt's family lives in a higher position, so looking down from the balcony on the second floor, you can see the appearance of the whole village, lighting lights, glowing and hot in the night sky, the whole village is surrounded by mountains, only one is connected to the outside world, not completely closed, most of the people in the village are old people left.

If there is a village, there must be a grave mountain, and usually this kind of village with a history, the people in the village will be buried on the same mountain after death.

When I came here, I was able to see a mountain that felt different, and it was the tallest mountain in the surrounding area.

According to the aunt, the mountain is the one that blesses the village, and the village also builds a mountain temple for the mountain god of the mountain, which is worshiped every year.

In the evening, my aunt specially made six dishes, steaming, and very kind to ask us to come out for a bite to eat.

Although this aunt is a money fan and likes to gossip, she is still willing to treat guests.

After chatting a few words, I went straight to the point, smiled and asked Auntie, "We like to listen to some stories, especially some mountain anecdotes, Auntie, your mountain temple seems to have a history, does it have any stories?" ”

Aunt is also a somewhat superstitious lord, heard us talk about the mountain god, the look can't help but be a little respectful, said: "In fact, in the past, we were very poor here, how can there be these flat-roofed houses now, are some earthen houses, at that time there were only a few families in the village, it was particularly difficult to eat a meal of meat in a year, and later, the director of the village committee in our village said that he dreamed of a white-haired old fairy, and the old fairy said that as long as we worship it every year, it can protect our safety and give us wealth, so since then, Our village began to get richer, but it wasn't particularly rich, but it was still much better than before.

For so many years, we have been insisting on worshipping, and we have to come up with the best tribute to the mountain god, pork, beef, mutton, chicken, no one is missing, better than what we eat for the New Year, but no one complains, because we all know that all we have now is the blessing of the mountain god, because there is a mountain god, and basically no one in our village has had a major illness over the years, that is, a minor illness, and it will be good soon to worship the mountain god.

I remember that because he couldn't give birth to a child in the country, his old mother was in a hurry to die, and there was really no way, so he slaughtered the fattest goose in the family and worshiped the mountain god, and it turned out to be less than a month. ”

This kind of thing is actually in the record, but there is absolutely no aunt who said so mysteriously, with such a powerful ability, this ability only exists in some mythological stories such as Journey to the West, the Romance of the Gods, etc., my ancestors have seen many mountain gods, most of them are some spirits who have become spirits, because they have cultivated for many years, opened up spiritual wisdom, and have some Taoism, they occupy the mountain as the king and call themselves the mountain gods.

Therefore, if a mountain has a mountain god, you must first ask the mountain god to say goodbye, you must place three wines, a glass of wine poured out this cup of wine is for the sacrifice of the mountain, a glass of wine is for the mountain god to drink, and a glass of wine is for the mountain god to drink, if it drinks, it means that you can enter the mountain, if it does not drink, it means that you can not enter, if you insist on entering, it will come to you for trouble.

Because of my inheritance in this lineage, I need to see feng shui, so I often go into the mountains in person, and I can't avoid asking the mountain god, because for an unfamiliar location, it must be the best to ask the local area, and it is the most convenient to get information, so the relationship between my family and the mountain god is quite harmonious, because the mountain god sometimes encounters some troubles, such as they have been cultivating for many years, becoming the climate, and they will inevitably be baptized by thunder, so they will find a way to collect some life-saving things.

Compared with other spirits, the mountain god is actually a kind of strength, after all, the mountain is the king, if there is no certain way, it will definitely not be possible, this mountain god, can have some protection effect on the villagers, indicating that the road is not shallow, and this mountain is so tall, not ordinary spirits can occupy.

I continued to ask, "When did this mountain temple start to exist?" ”

Auntie thought for a while and said, "Probably my grandfather's generation has it, it's very old anyway." ”

"Your grandfather's generation! Damn, how old is it? ”

Even Zhang Long couldn't help but burst into foul language when he listened to it, it is knowledgeable, the stronger this mountain god is, the more difficult it is for us to control the situation.

The aunt looked at him a little strangely, and said, "The mountain god is an old immortal, so it is not a problem to live for two or three hundred years." ”

Not only two or three hundred years old, as far as I know, this creature wants to practice into a spirit, at least after a hundred years of cultivation, this will give birth to Lingzhi, but at this time it is still very weak, and after a hundred years, Lingzhi is more intelligent, able to understand people's words, this is Chengjing, but at the moment it is still not very powerful, another hundred years, after the accumulation of Neidan in the body, just like our Ning Dan, can gather the aura of heaven and earth, you can use these aura to do some demon methods, we call it Daoxing.

If according to what the aunt said, as early as her grandfather's generation, this mountain god could already do some demon magic.

Then it is at least 500 years, this is still a conservative estimate, according to its ability, I think 500 years is definitely impossible, at least it may be thousands of years.

This is a thousand-year-old demon, and his strength is simply unfathomable.

I heard that an old demon like this who has cultivated for thousands of years has long been hiding in the mountains and not coming out, because once it is born, it will inevitably lead to a heavenly calamity, and it is no wonder that these villagers have never seen it.

Zhang Long rolled his eyes, continued to eat, and stopped talking.

"But I heard that a month ago, Old Man Li seemed to have seen the mountain god."

Auntie mentioned it casually, but it was a very important message for us.

"And where does this man live?"

The aunt replied, "If you look in this direction, the house on the far left is where he lives. ”

"What are you looking for him for, he is the most unproductive in our village, he is short, fat, ugly, and now he has not married a wife in his thirties, and it is estimated that he will be beaten for a lifetime, a few years ago because he attempted to rape the daughter-in-law of the Zimin family, he was almost not beaten to death by Zimin and his father on the ground, and since then, one of his legs has been lame.

He is also a hard-working person, his own conditions are too poor, and the family has no money, but he deserves it, I don't know how many of these immoral things he has done, a few years ago he deceived a woman from other places to come over, and scared others away on the eve of his wedding, the police came, and took him to prison for a year before he came out, over the years, the outside world has changed a lot, and he is lazy to do, so he wanders around the village every day, stealing other people's vegetables to eat, and no one cares about him, after this guy was beaten, he only dared to steal some dishes that no one eats.

But the strange thing is that since this guy saw the mountain god, he has been closed, and he doesn't know what nerves he has drawn, except for the village chief, who has been there once in the past few days to see that he is not dead, no one else has been to his house, but recently this kid has been a little more diligent, and he has renovated the old house at home, and he doesn't know where the money came from. ”

I guess this guy's abnormality should be related to seeing the mountain god, but in the end, this mountain god doesn't seem to be a bad thing, he hasn't done anything bad, but I think it's not that simple, the mountain spirit fled to this neighborhood, and it must have some kind of connection with this mountain god.

I chattered for a long time, but I really couldn't ask what to ask.

It's eleven or twelve o'clock again, and it's late.

"Oh, talking and talking, it's so late, my son and daughter-in-law have gone to work in the city, you can just stay in their rooms and rest for the night."
