Chapter Twenty-Six: The Mountain Gods Walk at Night

As for such a thing as reincarnation, where is it so easy? This kind of thing has always been a special case, not a regular rule.

Maybe Wen Fei used to have the ability to send these ghosts to reincarnation, but now he definitely doesn't have this ability.

In ancient times, this kind of mountain must have been sparsely populated. It is this mountain god, and it is impossible for so many Yin Souls to accumulate in the cave.

But in this day and age, the population is exploding. Even the former mountainous area has a population of tens of thousands. Qingshan Town alone has a population of more than 10,000.

When the population increases, there are naturally more ghosts. With the accumulation of hundreds of Yin Spirits, it is no wonder that the former Mountain God was so annoyed that he even thought about arresting all the Yin Spirits into the ghost prison.

Wen Fei naturally couldn't do this, but how to place these ghosts suddenly became a problem.

First of all, the first way that Master Wen Da came up with was to expand the ranks of civil servants. At least recruit a hundred Yin Souls in one go, as a ghost soldier, with such a tenth of the number of Yin Souls, as the basis of his own rule, then at least his position will be stabilized first.

Then, there are so many ghosts that have to be fed. But you can't rely on the consumption of mountain qi. These ghost soldiers are useful.

At that moment, Wen Fei released dozens of ghosts to go back, all of which were ghosts that had not been dead for too long. It's all within ten years, and you can go back to your dreams.

If such a ghost walked dozens of miles to Qingshan Town. This journey was naturally very dangerous, but dozens of yin spirits gathered together, and the yin qi gathered. It's much stronger.

Don't say that the night wind can't move, it's the mountain spirits and wild monsters wandering in the mountains, and even those predatory animals that come out at night. They didn't dare to get closer, so they avoided from afar.

It was said that this night, it was already the second half of the night, and this remote town in the mountains, at 90 o'clock in the evening, there was no longer half a figure.

And this kind of second half of the night, it stands to reason. But there are no half pedestrians.

There are two father and son who got up in the middle of the night and wanted to go to the river to catch fish. I felt that something was wrong, and I didn't know when the temperature would be. It was even colder, and the exposed skin was a little numb from the cold.

There seemed to be a layer of mist all around, and the flashlight couldn't go far. But I vaguely seemed to hear footsteps, and it didn't sound like a small number.

"Daddy. Is it the last time the soldiers are here again?" asked the young man.

The older man shook his head: "It's not like it." The last time they came, they were driving a big truck and making such a big noise. It's impossible to come here without movement this time......"

The young man was even more strange, and the flashlight shook into the distance, and said, "Then who else is walking in the middle of the night......

Before he finished speaking, his face froze suddenly. The older one glanced at the light of the flashlight, and his face froze suddenly, and the person began to tremble.

I saw it in the mist. There are many shadows walking. Some of them seem to be wearing clothes like those servants in the ancient yamen. It's just that I can't see it really in a trance.

The young man originally thought that he was dazzled, but when he looked at the shocked expression on his father's face, he immediately knew that he was not mistaken.

Father and son, you look at me, and I look at you. They all clearly saw the fear on each other's faces.

"Don't ...... Don't be silent, be careful of the alarm......" The older one swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with a trembling voice.

The young man almost lost his voice in fear and was about to scream, but when he heard his father's words, he naturally reacted and nodded subconsciously. I wanted to find a place to hide, but I found that I was trembling like sifting chaff, and I couldn't pull my legs at all. And looking at the father around him, it seems that he is not much better than himself......

But at this time, in the mist, it seemed that in a flash, there was a figure, floating towards their father and son.

"The ghost walks, and sure enough, his feet don't touch the ground!" The young man actually thought of this in his heart, not that he was not afraid, but that he was already afraid to the extreme: "Why did you have footsteps just now?"

Not only can't I control my whole body, but I can't even control the thinking of my brain. A hot current flowed down his thighs.

After a while, he was blown by the cold wind, and a spirit below made him realize that he had actually peed his pants. Seeing that the shadow was getting closer and closer, the young man could no longer hold back and let out a hoarse scream......

The screams of killing pigs shook the whole town. So the legend of encountering ghosts at night quickly spread throughout the town.

The next day, before noon, rumors had spread throughout the town. Not only did the father and son see it, but several families dreamed of their dead relatives coming back in the middle of the night to support their dreams.

For a time, all kinds of rumors spread around, and people were panicked. Before it was time for lunch, there were already people in twos and threes, coming to the gate of the City God Temple to inquire about the news.

"I heard that it was the last time I was a soldier who blew up the statue of the mountain god...... Now the ghosts under the mountain god are uncontrolled and roaming around......"

"yes, yes, I went up hunting in the mountains last time. Something strange happened and almost scared me to death...... We used to be so peaceful in this place, but there were no such things. It must be that the mountain god is gone, and no one cares about the mountain spirits and wild monsters!"

"Uh-huh. Last night. I dreamed of my dead grandfather, and I said that I had no place to eat or live now, and I was very pitiful ......

"The Zhang family, father and son, were scared to death last night. If there were ghosts roaming the town every night, how would you live?"

This resonated with everyone, yes! Think of sleeping until midnight, the streets are full of ghosts, how much people should respond!

And what if those ghosts float into the house? I think of the husband and wife fighting in bed, and a few ghosts standing next to them watching...... The scalp is starting to tingle......

All kinds of rumors spread rapidly, and the more they crossed the town, the more panicked they were, but after the worst, they invited the most respected old man of the Chen family out of the town to come to the City God Temple and find Wen Fei, a Taoist priest, to discuss a solution.

"Our Qingshan Town was originally a small town in the mountains, and it stands to reason that it was originally under the jurisdiction of the mountain god. This city god temple was originally dedicated to the gods of the state and county, and here, it is somewhat conflicting with the duties of the mountain gods. In my opinion, this City God Temple might as well be changed to a Mountain Temple!"

An old man shook his head and said, as soon as he said this, the townspeople who heard it immediately felt that it made a lot of sense. They all looked at Wen Fei, after all, Wen Fei was the master here.

The ancient mountain god bears the responsibility of the yin division of a place. This is a legacy of ancient times. The most famous is the god of Mount Tai, who was the lord of the underworld in ancient times.

Speaking of which, in ancient times, the gods and spirits of various mountains and rivers were responsible for the underworld, but none of them were really in charge of the entire underworld.

Until after the Ming and Qing dynasties, Buddhism and rivers. Transform the belief of the Yama King into the Ten Halls of Yama Yunyun, and only then can you be regarded as commanding the entire Yin Division.

But at the level of state ideology, it is unwilling to admit it. It is only circulated in folk beliefs, just like the Jade Emperor.

"The villagers want to shape the golden body of the mountain god to worship, and it's nothing. Wen Fei naturally agreed, knowing that the old man who shook his head was naturally the nursery that Wen Fei found.

It's none other than the old man of the Chen family. The Chen family is a well-known figure in the town, having joined the army and fought in the army when he was young. Later, he returned home and became the secretary of Qingshan Town, and his prestige was already high. Now that his son is the secretary again, his respected old man comes forward, but it is very suitable!

"Then it's decided!" The old man was also an old-fashioned extravagant figure, and immediately slapped his thigh and shouted: "Every family has to pay for it." Every family, pay ten yuan, and mold the golden body of the mountain god!"

Wen Fei immediately said: "Since this is related to our Taoist temple, I can pay this money from the Taoist temple!"

The old man waved his hand: "No, this is a major matter to keep the town safe, and it must not be sloppy at all." Every family must contribute money and efforts, otherwise how can they show sincerity!"

Saying this, many people sighed a little. At this time, many families only earn a few hundred yuan a year. Ten dollars is a lot of money.

Otherwise, how could Wen Fei's last fur income make the two guys in the foreign trade company have a thief's heart? It's really hundreds of thousands, and in this year, that's an astronomical amount!

Wen Fei originally didn't plan to let others pay for it, and the total was only a few thousand yuan, which was just a drop in the bucket in Wen Fei's opinion.

But at this time, Old Man Chen spoke in high spirits, and Wen Fei couldn't stop him. Besides, the old man also has a point in speaking.

If you don't frighten them, where can you make these people devout and believe? Offering incense? There are still hundreds of ghosts to feed in their own cave mansion?

Counting these ghosts, they are all locals, and they are all the ancestors of these people, so it is natural for them to offer incense.

"Actually, you don't need to make a big move," Wen Fei said with a smile: "Our Qingshan Town was originally a mountainous area, and it was under the jurisdiction of the mountain god of this small Qingshan. Now that something has happened to the mountain god, it is the same thing for the city god to take care of it! In fact, there is no need to re-establish the troublesome things of the golden body.

"If you want me to see it, it's better to get a few hundred dollars in the town. Repaint the gold paint and feel free to fix it. It's only a few hundred yuan, and it doesn't cost much! It's just that in the future, you still need to make more offerings from the fathers and elders. ”

Listening to Wen Fei's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. praised Wen Fei as a professional, what he said really makes sense!

You must know that the people believe in the Tao, and there is no such thing as piety. It's just for peace of mind. Now when I heard Wen Fei's plan, it only cost a few hundred yuan, and I immediately agreed to it one by one. (To be continued......)
