Mu Qing stood in front of the window all night, standing until the sky was bright and the birds were crying. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

There was a faint roar from the earth, Mu Qing looked at it with great eyes, and saw the old ape riding on the "Erha" who he "remembered" from a distance, and was raising his arm as if to stop the running of the beasts behind him, and when he turned around, he seemed to see Mu Qing in the window, and the thin arm like a silk thread waved down,

And then

The earth trembled, the turf and dust flew together, the trees and the distant mountains were pale!

"Stop!" the old ape raised his right arm, and his loud voice suppressed the roar of the galloping, and also stopped the demons who were scattering.

"Smack!" the old ape patted the head of "Erha" under him, "Say hello to Mr."

Before the temple was broken, I remembered the uneven voices of young men and women:

"Good morning sir!" "Good morning sir!" "Good morning!" "...... Okay!" Woo...!"

"Good morning, sir!" the old ape jumped down lightly, and gave the "Erha" who was still bowing his head and whining, and told it to shut up.

"A few days ago, I went back to the mountain and told Mr. Wang the news that he woke up and fell asleep, and the white wolf taught this kid a hard lesson, and he was still angry. The king and the old brothers in the mountain were very happy to hear that Mr. had woken up, and if it weren't for the fact that their cultivation was at a critical juncture, I am afraid that they would have to go out of the mountain to visit Mr. Yesterday, the king instructed me to take these little cubs to help Mr. recover his divine power as soon as possible, and then take him into the mountain when the time comes. ”

"The king......!"

For a moment, Mu Qing felt that all eyes were fixed on him, making him even more unsure of how to answer.

In the end, it was the old ape who broke the strange tranquility.

"Sir, come out first, let them clean this temple first, so that they can live in it later. ”

When Mu Qing walked out of the temple gate slowly, the old ape's little hand waved vigorously, "Little cubs, why are you stunned, why don't you get in and clean up for me!"

Then the ground trembled beneath his feet, and the old ape and a large group of "little calves" squeezed into the ruined temple.

Mu Qing seemed to be a little unable to stand these movements, he walked away as quickly as he could, watching from a distance as far as this land temple opened up on the mountain wall trembled at the feet of the demons.

In the middle of a burst of chickens and dogs, the old ape's loud voice sounded: "Don't be stunned, you, you, you... You, you, you... Get the doors and windows right, you, you, you, you... Tidy up the walls, you, you, you, you, you... The roof was a bit dark, cleaned it up......"

The movement in the temple was even louder, and the fluttering was mixed with all kinds of strange sounds:

"Whew... Whew..."", "Sting... "Puff, puff", "Click...", "Bang!", "Bang!", "Bang!", "me", "me", "Boom", "Boom", "Bang!", Woo..."......

Mu Qing's face twitched for a while, fortunately, this land temple is made of stone, if it was the original one, it would have become ashes.

Soon, the old ape rushed to Mu Qing's side from the broken temple with a gust of wind and smoke and dust, and then sat down idly like Mu Qing, "admiring" the "magnificent scene" behind him:

The continuous wind swept through the grass in front of the temple, blowing until the grass fell and the ground was bare, and the trees on the opposite side were also shaking, and the green or green and yellow leaves fell one after another......

Until the old ape sent Mu Qing to sit down on the shrine, Mu Qing had not come back to his senses, and the temple had already changed a lot at this time: the doors and windows were still open, and the door panels and windows hidden in the shadows of the walls were gone, probably because the wood was rotten, and it would disperse when the wind blew...; The bluestone floor was almost spotless, and there were a few shabby but still fluffy futons?... Forget it, don't worry about the details...; The stone case is still the same, the dust has been brushed off, the incense burner is crooked, and next to it is a pair of candlesticks that are also standing crookedly, as for the shallow claw marks on it, it is harmless... Well, no harm, Daya! The shrine is still cold and hard, and the white marks outline a bit of "dust" A crooked stone plaque on the wall behind him finally revealed its true face: the carved delicate pattern wrapped a few large characters in the middle, and the white on it was not the original Mu Qing did not think about it, anyway, he didn't know what was written on it; the surrounding stone walls stripped off the original mottling, and the gray lines on the gray wall like pencil lines outlined an abstract painting; the depth above the head could finally be seen, but it was a pattern that was a hundred times more complex than the wall -- gray, white, The black is intertwined on it, like a profound freehand, and like the true meaning of the world, which makes people bow down...... In short, the cleaned up land temple is full of freshness and mystery!

Mu Qing sat on the stone platform, holding the cane in his left hand and placing it on his lap, his right arm was still empty, and his eyes were still a little confused.

The old ape came up with a group of "heads".

"Sir, please take out the Earth God's Judgment so that we can go down the mountain and help you pay your vows. ”

Oops! That "Earth God Judgment Book", what kind of gui is this, I don't seem to have seen any books in so many days!

Mu Qing closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, calmed his nervous emotions, and pondered, but he still couldn't think of how to crack it.

Time passed little by little, Mu Qing still didn't move, although he closed his eyes, he could still feel a large gaze stabbing at him like a sword, if he could still sweat, he was afraid that he was already in a cold sweat at the moment, thinking of this, he couldn't help but clench the wooden staff in his hand.

At this moment, under the high concentration and condensation of the spirit, Mu Qing suddenly felt a burst of warmth from the wooden staff in his hand, as if it was extremely compatible with him, and the delicate gourd on the staff had a faint hint of summoning.

Mu Qing was excited, he grabbed the gourd and pasted it on his forehead, concentrating to induce, and felt a void in the haze, two rolls of wooden tablets, a carving knife, and a small iron seal suspended in it, Mu Qing imagined reaching out to grab them and take them out, and when he opened his eyes, the three things were already placed on his lap.

The beasts were shocked, and the old ape's eyes flashed with a relieved smile, he took a scroll of wooden tablets, stretched out his hand, and shook his head to assign the task:

"Li Jiaerlang was bitten by a snake while collecting firewood, poisoned and unconscious, and Li Laohan kowtowed for help. Not... Dahei, you go dig up a few herbs and send them to him, remember not to show them to others!"

"There are birds and beasts attacking the fields of Zhang Laohan's house, please disperse them. Well, Greyback you go. ”

"The beasts of the mountains attack people...... Well, if you go to Xiaohua, it will be considered a lunch at noon. ”

“......”

"The Liu family's fields are scarce, and they seek a bumper harvest. Well... A few of you, go to Wujia Town, dozens of miles away from the mountain, to carry a few bags of rice and grain, remember not to show it to others, and even more so to guard against the land in that town. ”

“......”

After a while, the crowded land temple became empty again.

"Mrs. Wang's hen flew into the woods, and the villagers couldn't catch up, so they begged the land lord to help send it back. Alas, all the trivial things have to be sent...... Little four-eyed, don't look at it, it's just you, catch chickens for Mrs. Wang. ”

There was a flutter, and the sound faded away.

The old ape watched the last "Erha", which Mu Qing was most familiar with, run away and disappear, and then turned back.

"These little cubs, none of them are worry-free, especially this little guy, which is the most headache. ”

The old ape was probably too old, just like the old men in the past, he liked to chatter, so Mu Qing sat quietly on the stone platform and listened to him.

Originally, this place belonged to the Nanshan Mountain Range, because of the junction with the Beiju Luzhou, the locals called it Nanshan according to the name of the Beidi Demon Clan. The land temple is located on the edge of Nanshan, and Mu Qing's "territory" is bounded from here to the plain under the mountain, about a hundred miles in a radius, and Wujia Town, which is dozens of miles away from the mountain, is occupied by Mu Qing for hundreds of years of "sleeping", and the adjacent land gods began to expand their territory. As for why this land temple is not under the mountain but on the border, Mu Qing doesn't know, but it doesn't matter, now it seems that only the monsters in the mountain will accept the miserable self now.

Time passed in the chatter of the old ape, and unconsciously passed a small half of the day, from time to time there were little demons who completed the task and rushed back, and then rushed down the mountain after being assigned a new task by the old ape. During this period, the old ape also asked a few little demons to pick fruit for him as lunch. Seeing the old ape munching on an unknown fruit in front of him, while roaring loudly, Mu Qing's throat shrank, but unfortunately he has not been hungry until now, and even if the old ape gives him a fruit, I am afraid that his teeth will be shattered. As for the group of little demons, in the words of the old ape: Don't worry about those unconscionable cubs, even if I starve to death, they will still be alive!

One by one, the little demons returned the task back and forth, the old ape gently grabbed Mu Qing's left hand, stuffed the iron seal into Mu Qing's hand, and lightly imprinted a similar glyph on the wooden tablets engraved with curved handwriting, as the imprints increased, Mu Qing felt that he was gradually recovering, and the broken right arm was gradually growing!

Mu Qing was a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to say more, so he could only intercept a few words from the old ape's long words, and then add his own speculation, which roughly understood.

It turns out that the land as a priest has the duty of guarding the land and the people, he obtains the wish power from the residents who believe in him, in order to restore and increase his own divine power, this wooden tablet is recorded on the villagers under the mountain to his "land lord" petition and prayer, what he heard in his dream is probably these, when the little demons complete the wish on the wooden tablet, and then Mu Qing, the genuine "land god", personally printed the land god seal on behalf of his identity, it can be regarded as a conclusion, and the villagers' incense wish power turned into Mu Qing's "divine power" to restore itself. Of course, not all the petitions can be completed, some of them require Mu Qing, the land god, to exert his divine power to complete, and some even have to report to the Heavenly Court of the underworld to listen to the verdict, so the old ape picked some tasks that the little demons could complete from near and far and distributed them.

As the imprints fell, the wooden tablets gradually disappeared, and at this time, another scroll of wooden tablets placed on Mu Qing's lap was constantly increasing—this scroll of the Earth God's Judgment was a collection of the completed wishes, and it was placed separately to facilitate the land and the superiors to consult. As for the carving knife, according to the old ape, it is to engrave the judgment of the land god on the judgment of the earth god, and it also needs Mu Qing to do it himself, and it will consume Mu Qing's divine power like the land seal, in the words of the old ape: salty and eat radish and worry about it, sir, you are like this, and write him a yarn-- these are the identity symbols and work tasks of the land lord.

After summarizing, Mu Qing smiled bitterly in his heart: The "golden rice bowl" of the land god is not easy to take!
