9, [Meet the Mountain God in front of the Mountain Temple]
I was curious, and changed directions in the square and walked over to check.
It is not difficult to get to the small temple because there is a small path leading to the foot of the mountain, which is considered to be a little human trace, and the path goes straight to the temple gate.
The building is very short, built with bricks, only half a person tall, half a foot deep, and three words "Shan Shen Temple" written on the lintel, with no artistic sense. Looking closer, I saw that there was no statue in the middle, only five cinnabar words "Yunzhong Mountain God."
The terrain of the small temple is not high and there are traces of erosion around it, but the mountain temple itself is not affected by the flood.
It is very deserted, without offerings, no incense, and no temple blessings - this kind of small temple cannot contain temple blessings at all. Judging from the traces, no one has been here for at least half a year.
Fang Chang is a practitioner who is not the same as these righteous gods on earth, but he still respects these gods who maintain the order of heaven and earth.
He broke the fine pine branches next to him as incense, used his magic power to ignite it, stepped forward and inserted it into the incense burner in mid-air, and then bowed his hand to serve as a gift.
The movements above can naturally not be concealed by the mountain god.
When Fang Chang burned incense, the mountain god who received a large incense would know. Then the mountain god who was staying in the mansion suddenly discovered that it was the practitioner he met last time.
Is this coming?
I'm afraid.
The mountain god wanted to hide deep in Yunzhong Mountain, but he was reluctant to give up this mansion that had been in operation for many years and the fundamental temple.
Still struggling, I felt that the person above was raising incense, turned around and wanted to leave, gritted his teeth, the mountain god paused the crutch in his hand, appeared at the gate of the small temple, and shouted to Fang Chang who was turning around and leaving:
"Please stay!"
Fang Chang turned his head and saw that the mountain god appeared, so he stopped and turned around and said, "It turns out that it was the lord of this mountain who was in front of him, and he was rude."
"Don't dare," the mountain god quickly returned the favor and said respectfully: "Hold this position only to manage the Yunzhong Mountain on behalf of heaven and earth. He does not own this mountain, and he dare not be called the lord of this mountain."
"I'm the next surname Zhang, you can call me the God of Zhang or the God of Zhongshan. The small temple has limited places and the conditions are simple and difficult to entertain. I hope we can forgive it."
Seeing that the mountain god was full of etiquette, Fang Chang smiled and said, "I don't know what the hell of Shan Shan appeared to meet?"
The mountain god who was still nervous was still worried. Seeing that Fang Chang was gentle and polite, he was also very calm in his heart. This may be a moral expert, so he told the reason: "A few days ago, during the flood, he was patrolling the mountains and saw the immortals rescued beasts in the flood, and thanked the creatures in the mountains for their thanks."
"I dare not, don't dare." Fang Chang felt a little ashamed, because he knew that he might start eating the creatures in the mountains at any time - probably after the pottery was cooked.
He continued to say to the mountain god: "I'm going to join Yunzhong Mountain and practicing here, and I'll be disturbed in the future. And the materials and food required need to be obtained from Yunzhong Mountain, and I hope that the god Zhang Shanhai will be forgiven."
Of course, the mountain god dared not say anything, and he didn't care about the other party's use of mountain supplies. What's more, compared to those consumed, the more immortals in Yunzhong Mountain were the biggest gain this time.
Even if it does not bring any benefits, you can have an object of communication as you do now and relieve the loneliness of hundreds of years.
Shan Shen knew that Fang Chang mentioned food and food, and he knew that not all immortals would choose the method of eating wind and drinking dew.
So the mountain god bowed again and said, "Please use the Supreme Immortal. You are here only to manage it. There is no mountain, let alone the grass and wood products in the mountains. As long as you do not abuse it or destroy it at will, you will not violate the subordinates' duties. I don't know what the Supreme Immortal is called?"
“Long below.”
"Fang Shangxian is in front of him, the little god is polite."
The mountain god gave Fang Chang to the big rock under the shade of the tree next to him, took out chestnut pine nuts to entertain him, and the two sides had a great conversation.
Since entering the practice, it is not a monster. This is the first time Fang Chang has come into contact with an extraordinary person, so he is naturally full of curiosity. The mountain god was enfeoffed here by the county magistrate for hundreds of years, and he has been held back for hundreds of years. Due to his responsibilities, he cannot visit other gods around him.
Therefore, both sides have gained a lot from this exchange.
Especially the mountain god of Yunzhong Mountain, he did not expect that Fang Chang's understanding of the great way was extremely exquisite and rewarding. Although the righteous gods such as the mountain god, land and city god did not follow the path of cultivation, these understandings were still of great benefit to them.
As a result, the mountain god was even more respectful to Fang Chang, and the "Super Immortal" shouted more smoothly.
During the chat, Fang Chang asked: "I wonder if the mountain village at the foot of Yunzhong Mountain is under the jurisdiction of the God of Shanzhan?"
"Not." Yunzhongshan Mountain God shook his head, "The villages at the foot of the mountain are all subject to the jurisdiction of the four lands, except Linxi Village, which was allocated to the jurisdiction of Yunzhongshan Mountain God because it was in the valley. The specific reason is no longer verified. This is what happened before my post."
"Oh? How long has the God of Shan Zhang been here?"
"There was a strange thing in four hundred and seventy years. At that time, there was a Zheng County Magistrate at the foot of the mountain. He was able to send a dream before leaving office, so he selected the deceased virtuous. At that time, someone had a reputation for his life, but was lucky enough to get it. He was enfeoffed here. In fact, it has been nearly five hundred years." The mountain myth is full of sighs about the years.
The imperial edicts of the government are very simple. You only need to post a notice and repair the temple where the mountain god is located. These notices are useful because they are useful to the people. More people know about this matter will be recognized by heaven and earth.
If the former mountain god had never dreamed when he left office, and after a long time, the people spontaneously entrust their title, or the rules of heaven and earth automatically choose the mountain god to take office, there will be no vacancy here.
"I don't know if there is any illness in Linxi Village at the foot of the mountain. Can the mountain god know the reason?" Fang Changshun asked.
"oh?"
"When I went up the mountain to get water today, I saw the direction of Linxi Village at the foot of the mountain. It seemed that there was a storm of disaster and decline. I didn't know what happened."
The mountain god frowned and said, "I am just a small god below, and I don't understand the method of looking at the qi of the Supreme Immortal. As for the matter of Linxi Village at the foot of the mountain, I will wait for me to investigate."
After chatting about some things in the mountains, Fang Chang was about to say goodbye: "I thank you for the reception of the God of Shan Zhang this time. I just have important things today, so I can't bother you."
He also wants to get clay.
The mountain god smiled and said, "Thank you for your advice today. But the little god has no body. Fortunately, the mountain in Yunzhong is rich in resources. These excellent chestnuts and pine nuts are not high in the mountains, but they are very delicious. It is quite rare to sell at the foot of the mountain to a hundred pounds. Fang Shangxian is also invited to accept it with a smile."
Fang Chang did not refuse and accepted the small bag of nuts. The two sides agreed to walk around and communicate frequently, breaking up and returning.
After packing the chestnut pine nuts, he returned to the foot of the mountain where he had taken the clay, took out the stone pieces to dig, and collected broadleafs as he did last time, and filled a basket before heading towards Xianqi Cliff.
Chapter completed!
