Chapter V Treaty Conclusion
As a result, of course, the mountain people and villagers around Xiaoqingshan did not dare to worship incense, and gradually the temple was dilapidated, and the mountain god himself could only fall into a deep sleep.
However, the temple has the advantage of being small, and it is not too famous, and the upper echelons of the court will not deliberately stare at it.
The believers of the mountain god did not dare to continue to make offerings, but they did not dare to take the initiative to report the existence of the temple.
When most of the wild gods were cut down and the temple was destroyed, the temple of Xiaoqingshan Mountain survived at the cost of being dilapidated and in disrepair, and the incense was cut off.
Fifteen years ago, in order to survive, He Dong, who went up to the mountains to hunt, entered the temple and continued to receive extremely meager incense.
After persevering for many years, although the amount is small, it has not completely fallen the mountain god.
It's just that he is too weak, and this time he manifested himself to drive away the wolf, consuming the last of his divine power, even if Zhou Bai put on a few more incense sticks, it would be useless.
At the end of the exchange, the heavy rain stopped, and the outside of the temple was already a little cloudy, and it was dawn soon after.
"I can't think of the last believer before the fall of God, remember to leave and don't come back, I will try to suppress a few more evil spirits in the last few days."
"Also, you have been infected by ghosts, and after a long time, it is inevitable that your body will be weak, and bringing the incense ash in the furnace back to soak in water can eliminate this difficulty." The mountain god was informing Zhou Bai of his final arrangement.
The glimmer of light on the idol fades, the cobwebs are thick, and the worn statue of the god whose lacquer coat has fallen off will return to its original shape.
Hearing this, Zhou Bai hurriedly put down the half-eaten roast wolf meat in his hand and spoke out to stop the mountain god's thoughts.
"Don't give up on yourself, I can help you get enough incense to restore the peace of Xiaoqingshan!" Zhou Bai's expression was solemn, and his speech was sonorous and powerful.
This provoked the mountain god to look at Zhou Bai a few more times, and then shook his head and said: "The Dazhen Imperial Court has a strict law, how can it give you the opportunity to spread my faith." ”
"You are sleeping here, you don't know the white clouds and dogs in the outside world, the great truth of more than two hundred years is now crumbling, the nobles have no way, and the thieves are everywhere......"
That's right, according to some of the memories left by He Dong, Zhou Bai concluded that the Dazhen Dynasty was about to fall.
In his words of persuasion to the mountain god, there may be exaggeration, but it is also his last resort.
Zhou Bai had previously projected his thoughts on the origin point entry, only to discover what was the most important thing that could be obtained through the heavens.
The origin point can manifest the things obtained from the other world, and the most important thing is that Zhou Bai did not find any restrictions, which means that the origin point is enough for him to do whatever he wants.
The rules for obtaining the origin point of the Heavenly Book of Fortune are still unclear, but it is certainly not wrong to use the mountain god as a breakthrough.
Zhou Bai didn't forget the origin point of the accumulation of the Heavenly Book of Qi Luck, because the mountain god appeared to change from zero to one, which provided a direction for obtaining the origin point.
"No wonder there have been ghosts in the mountains recently, it turns out that the humanitarian force is weakening, if I don't suppress it, there will be ghosts who will come down the mountain to plunder blood and food in the near future."
"The blood-stained ghosts are ferocious and inhumane, or there is a slaughter of the village, if the blood food is enough, the ghosts will give birth to powerful ghosts and even ghost kings......"
The mountain god finally achieved immortality as a god, and he didn't want to die easily, so he finally agreed to give Zhou Bai a chance.
and also told Zhou Bai that the spread of faith must be before the mountain ghosts go down the mountain.
For a month, the mountain god will not see the hope of recovering his strength, so he will show the last divine power and try to keep Xiaoqingshan peaceful for a while.
"Chirp~"
The mountain resounded with the chirping of birds one after another, and the glimmer of light representing the mountain god on the statue disappeared.
However, the morning light shone into the main hall, and it was still bright.
……
Zhou Bai stood outside the temple, looking at the winding path down the mountain, and let out a long breath of white air.
Not only did he survive the first night of his advent, but he also became attached to a god.
In the midst of emotional ups and downs, he carried wolf skin and the most essence of wolf meat alone, and held a fragrant plaster bowl wrapped in rags in his hand, and went down the mountain step by step.
The mountain is a small green mountain, and the village under the mountain is naturally called Qingshan Village.
The terrain under the mountain is flat, there is fertile land to cultivate, and the small green hill can be used for wood picking, hunting, and looking for medicine, so the village is not large, but there are also hundreds of households, nearly 500 people.
Originally, life in Qingshan Village was very good, and it was not a problem to eat enough and live in peace.
But since the decline of the Great Zhen Dynasty, natural disasters are frequent, displaced people are everywhere, and careerists who have rebelled have emerged one after another.
In this case, the imperial court could only increase taxes and transfer troops to quell the rebellion, which fell into a vicious circle.
Qingshan Village is also the focus of taxation in the county, so that they have gone from having surplus food in every household to now hungry and full.
The grain in the fields has to pay taxes, and the villagers can still rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, but at the right time, there are "fierce beasts" in the mountains that harm people.
After a few young men and women never returned, they were left alone, and He Dong, who made a living from hunting, had to go up the mountain.
This time on the mountain, He Dong did not return overnight, and the people in the village thought that he had died in the belly of the beast.
There are kind-hearted old people in the village, and they are even ready to go and pack up his clothes at home, and then set up a clothed mound.
Unexpectedly, He Dong, who was occupied by Zhou Bai, actually appeared at the head of the village with a swagger, and brought back a few wolf corpses.
This is big news, wolves are dispatched in packs, and it is difficult for a person to survive to reach the sky, let alone fight back.
Even they think that man-eating beasts are more and more widespread wild wolf packs.
Many people didn't believe that such a strong man was around, but as Zhou Bai distributed wolf meat from house to house, the villagers had to believe it, and gradually brought a lot of awe in gratitude.
Today, when they are hungry, they can still eat a meal of meat, which is a great kindness.
In the middle of the village, in the house of the old village chief.
"Fuyuko, how did you survive? Haven't you seen anything else besides the wolf? With a look of great surprise, the old village chief surrounded Zhou Bai to check his body.
As a result, except for some traces of thorny grass and sharp stones, Zhou Bai did not have major injuries all over his body, and even had some peculiar temperament because his soul had changed.
"What do you know? The hunters who disappeared in Xiaoqingshan are probably not because of fierce beasts. Zhou Bai asked in a strange tone while looking for things on the stove to put the wolf's legs aside.
In He Dong's memory, the old village chief of the whole village treated him best, not only helping to restrain his parents after death, but also taking care of food and clothing at ordinary times.
"And the old man, I sell off? Have you forgotten that ten years ago, your thatched hut was overturned by a strong wind, who helped? And that time your kid had a high fever, who ......" The old village chief blew his nose and kicked his face, looking angry.
"Stop, stop, slow down, didn't I come the first time?" Zhou Bai was overwhelmed and hurriedly appeased the old man.
"Is it a ghost?" The old man is not verbose and gets straight to the point.
"Yes, the yin qi in the mountains has accumulated and attracted those things, and fortunately the mountain god appeared to save me."
"The one in the mountain temple? No one worshipped the old man's grandfather's generation, but he didn't expect it to be powerful. ”
"The mountain god said that wild ghosts may want to go down the mountain to harm people, so I should wait and do it myself."
"This, this, how should this be!"
"If you want to protect Qingshan Village, there are some risks, and you have to come forward to ......"
