Chapter 4 The mountain gods manifest their spirits, and the willows and flowers are bright
After resting for a while, Zhou Bai stood up and bowed three times to the dusty masked idol to show that he had no disrespect in his next actions.
Unfortunately, the clay bowl used to replace the incense burner was only cold incense ash, and there were no incense candles to offer.
The cold wind was howling non-stop, and the wolves outside the broken temple were eyeing each other, their qi and blood were empty, and their strength was about to be exhausted, and everything looked the same as the instructions of the luck entry.
Before being reborn, he did not dare to cross at will, because he was afraid of falling into such a dangerous situation.
Zhou Bai is now going to use his strength to break the situation, if the mountain god has divine power left, then he can save himself for the time being, otherwise everything will be over.
With a hunting bow in his hand and an arrow on his string, he approached the creaking wooden door.
A wild wolf sensed the movement, its waist arched high, its fangs exposed, and its saliva beak let out a low roar.
Suddenly, the surrounding wild wolves swarmed and roamed outside the wooden gate, as if ready to attack at any moment.
The wind and rain were like darkness, and the night was low.
Zhou Bai relied on the hunter's ability to the greatest extent, and laboriously pulled the cow tendon bowstring to the full moon, and the arrow was aimed at the direction of the wooden door and waited for the opportunity.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and Huo Liang's light shone instantly.
The ruined temple was illuminated transparently, and the wild wolves outside were also clearly visible, Zhou Bai seized the opportunity, and the fingers that clenched the arrow suddenly let go.
Shout~
Arrows shot out of the wooden door and window, and a tall wolf was shot through the head and fell with a whimper.
Dark red blood flowed from the wound and mixed with the rain, and the blood and water vapor blended and escaped in all directions.
The wolves were irritated and irritated, and rushed forward, baring their teeth.
But this obviously dilapidated temple was like some forbidden place, and even if their companions died in front of them, they would not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool.
This performance confirms Zhou Bai's conjecture, and the gods have not yet fallen.
"Crunch~" He took a deep breath and took the initiative to open the decayed wooden door.
In the eyes of a pair of green wolves, they were puzzled by the scene, and the prey that was surrounded to the point of dying was actually taking the initiative to provoke.
Zhou Bai sometimes jumped out of the threshold, and sometimes jumped into the temple, provoking the wild wolves to attack.
But back and forth, none of the wild wolves succeeded, but the bloodthirsty instincts of the wolves became more and more irritable.
At this time, there were cunning wolves who were indifferent and still wanted to continue to wait and see, Zhou Bai gritted his teeth and exhausted his strength, bent his bow and arrows, and shot directly.
In particular, the head wolf, which was obviously stronger, had been quite calm, so it was directly nailed to death by three arrows in succession.
At this time, there was no restraint from the head wolf, and the wolves completely lost their minds and rushed up.
Zhou Bai's arrows were exhausted, and the little strength he had left was also used up in the three arrows that shot the head wolf, and now he could only retreat.
He strode back to the idol and quietly looked at the wolves rushing towards him, his pale face not only not fearful, but a strange look of anticipation.
Jinni? Even if the second was a human, he had never really seen it.
Finally, the first furried wolf stepped into the temple, and the forbidden line that the wolf had warned about was crossed so easily, and nothing happened.
Immediately afterwards, other wild wolves also rushed in, they wanted to tear this prey apart, the wolf king was too cautious, otherwise how could he die from the prey's counterattack.
The wild wolf that rushed first had already jumped high and pointed directly at Zhou Bai's fragile neck.
Zhou Bai leaned weakly on the edge of the god platform, he didn't care about the wolf, he just stared at the Heavenly Book of Luck with his mind.
The foul mouth, sharp wolf claws, and disgusting saliva almost dripped down his hair.
"Boom!" Between the lightning and flint, a transcendent and majestic coercion swept across the entire temple.
At the same time, the entries on the Book of Fortune have changed, and the tadpole-like text twists, and the luck is no longer dark and sluggish.
【Luck: Bright Flowers】
[Origin point: 1]
Vaguely, Zhou Bai seemed to smell a wisp of incense, and he could feel that this coercion was not aimed at him.
The scene of being pounced on by a wild wolf did not appear, because the mountain god of the broken temple appeared.
Whew......
After a wail, all the wolves fled from the temple with their tails between their legs, as if something terrible had happened.
Some wild wolves panicked and knocked unconscious on the brick wall or pillar, and were immediately dragged away by their companions, as if they were afraid of disturbing the owner of the temple.
Zhou Bai turned his head and saw that the lacquer clothes were falling off, the dilapidated and decayed statue of the god was renewed, and a god lived in it, exuding a slight light.
"I've seen the mountain god, and I haven't thanked you for saving my life." Zhou Bai hurriedly bowed, and bowed three times sincerely.
The mountain god stared at him expressionlessly, and it wasn't until a cold sweat broke out on Zhou Bai's back that he spoke.
"You're smart enough to guess that I'm not falling." The voice is neither salty nor light, but the dissatisfaction can be heard.
Zhou Bai didn't dare to raise his head, and continued to bend down and worship, if it was him, he would be unhappy because he was used.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the mountain god to seem to remember something, and continued: "This is to reward Xie Er for his many years of service, and there is no need to be polite." ”
At this time, his voice was majestic and pure, but it was not unsoftened.
"I don't dare to hold myself in a small way." Zhou Bai breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up and arched his hand.
He slowly cleared out some fragmented memories, it turned out that this body had formed a fate with this god since childhood.
When he was a teenager, he once hunted and borrowed a temple to shelter from the rain, and then as long as he chased his prey too late, he would spend the night here.
He Dong is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and every time he finishes the night, he will make up a stick of incense sticks the next day, and the incense ash accumulated in the mud bowl is accumulated over many years.
There is also the imperial court that is not allowed to worship the gods who have not been sealed, and the general incense can only be used to worship the Wenwu Temple, so the incense and candles are sold very expensive.
Almost half of the prey harvest is used to offer incense, and it is at the risk of being arrested by the imperial court, so it seems that "myself" has indeed formed a lot of karma with the mountain god.
"Alas, you don't have to come again in the future, and there are fewer people on this mountain, it's dangerous." The mountain god sighed and said with some embarrassment and vicissitudes.
"What does it mean to honor God? Is it because I'm not religious enough, or because I don't have enough incense. Zhou Bai was in a hurry, and finally hugged his thighs, how could he give up easily.
"I was worshiped as a god by the mountain people a thousand years ago, and I was privately enthroned as the god of Xiaoqingshan Mountain, but humanity is too tough......"
Maybe it's because he hasn't communicated with people for too long, and the mountain god has a lot of words, which makes Zhou Bai understand the cause and effect.
In this world, the power of humanity suppresses the world, and few gods have attained the Tao, and today's Dazhen Dynasty is even more strict with the gods in the world.
There are only a handful of canonical deities that can be recorded in official documents, and most of them are founding feats.
The "wild gods" in remote places such as the Xiaoqingshan Mountain God are even more unlikely to be enthroned.
Fortunately, it was okay for hundreds of years to become a god, although the humane court also looked down on the wild gods, but at least it would not kill them all.
Until the last two dynasties, the obscene shrines of wild gods were banned, and people who dared to believe in wild gods sat together with clans and villages.
