Author: Half Life of a Caterpillar

…

"Last night, everyone dreamed of the mountain god, saying that we were doing things that were against the laws of nature in his name. This made us very scared. I wonder, priest, can you ask the mountain god for us?"

After the village chief finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on the priest. An invisible pressure formed in their eyes, which made the priest feel worse and worse. He could only suppress his inner uneasiness and face the villagers.

"What is against the law of heaven! What ridiculous words are these! The Mountain God has never issued an oracle, and even if it is really the Mountain God who entrusts a dream, it will only be given to me, how could it be given to you!"

"Could it be that you made a mistake?"

The priest seemed calm and composed on the surface and seemed to find the words of the villagers extremely absurd. He knew in his heart that the mountain god he served was just a god that he had made up and did not exist. How could it be possible for him to entrust people with dreams? Therefore, he did not believe the villagers at all.

Rhetoric.

"One person can make a mistake, but now there are so many people, how can they make a mistake?"

"That's right, that's right!"

The priest's words failed to fool the villagers, but instead made them unhappy.

"Oh! How brave, are you questioning this priest or the mountain god?"

Seeing that the villagers began to doubt him, the priest's face couldn't help but change, and he looked at the villagers with a stern look. Those who were caught by his eyes couldn't help but feel cold in their hearts and did not dare to look at him.

"But I see you don't have the guts to be disrespectful to the mountain god. Since you have been diligently offering sacrifices to the mountain god for so many years, I can help you pray to the mountain god!"

Anyway, it was just pretending to be a show. Although Brother Gou and the others were not here and no one was cooperating, they had managed these villagers so obediently for so many years that the priest no longer took them to heart.

All he had to do was pretend that the mountain god appeared and possessed him to fool the villagers, so the priest let the man into the temple.

There is also a statue of a mountain god that reaches the top of the temple in the center, and the two sides are covered with red cloth strips embroidered with patterns. The temple is extremely dark, and the only place that can get light is a skylight on the roof, and the sun shines from outside.

When you come in, the smoke from the incense burner fills the space inside the temple, and the sunlight refracts in, filling the space with the mystery of clouds and mist.

After the villagers came in, they seemed to be shocked by the environment inside and the statue of the mountain god. Their steps slowed down a lot, and no one dared to whisper to each other.

"I will communicate with the Mountain God later and ask him to possess me. If you have any questions, you can ask him directly, but you must be careful and don't rush into him!"

After the priest finished speaking to everyone with a serious look on his face, he turned around to face the statue, knelt on the futon with his palms facing the sky, and hummed some tones in his mouth.

"Why don't you mortals kneel before this god!"

After the priest knelt down three times and bowed nine times, his body suddenly began to twitch and twist, and then he got up from the ground in an extremely weird posture. If Li Mu were present, he would definitely say "Train to Busan"!

And because his actions caused the surrounding villagers to back away in fear, the priest stood up and was silent for a while, then slowly raised his head, looked at the crowd and said indifferently, and at this time his voice was hoarse.

And there is also a tearing feeling that makes people shudder.

"Sama...God?"

The village chief asked the priest in surprise. No one in the village had seen the mountain god, let alone the possessed mountain god, so the village chief hesitated.

"Yes, it is this god!"

"I already know your purpose of coming. You said that this god gave you a dream and said that offering sacrifices to me is against the law of heaven. Is that right?"

"Yes, Lord Mountain God!"

"Fart! I have been cultivating in the God Realm, so how can I talk about my dreams? What's more, the goddesses who were sent to me are now practicing with me in the palace, so how can I offer them as living sacrifices!"

The priest waved his hand and strode towards the village chief, with such momentum that no one dared to raise their heads.

"Lord Mountain God, you said that our goddess is practicing in the temple. Can you please show up to see us? This will also dispel our doubts!"

At this time, a question came out from the crowd, which made the villagers look at each other. The priest looked over, but the voice just now was hidden in the crowd, and there was no way to find out who made the question.

The priest did not expect that on such an occasion, someone would dare to question the mountain god, and he was shocked and angry. However, the villagers did not think so much. Instead, they felt that the voice was right. Some people also reacted. There are so many people in the village.

Everyone has the same dream. If you say it is a coincidence, who would dare to believe it?

"Yes, please ask the mountain god to let the goddess appear!"

Although most of the villagers are still afraid of the mountain god, but that is because they are afraid of disaster befalling them. Now some people have raised their heads, and some people have mingled in and started to boo. Anyway, more than one person is booing, and the villagers who have a lucky mentality

Taking the opportunity to vent his emotions, the priest suddenly lost control of the scene, and the expression on his face became increasingly gloomy.

"Or are you just making up the so-called mountain god theory?"

"Presumptuous! Who are you? How dare you question this god!"

At this time, questions came out from the crowd again, which made the priest's eyes light up. He had been listening carefully to the movements in the crowd since just now. Although this voice was quickly drowned, he still noticed its position. The priest's eyes widened.

He pointed at the crowd, pointed his finger at someone inside and shouted harshly.

The villagers who were just taking chances just now dispersed in a panic and exposed the person. However, when they saw his appearance, everyone was a little surprised, because they didn't know this person at all, and they couldn't help but talk about it.

"You are not a local villager? Who are you! How dare you attack this god!"

The priest noticed from the villagers' conversation that this person was not a local villager, which made him very happy, so he sternly reprimanded him.

"Confronting the gods? I don't dare to do that, but there is no so-called mountain god here at all, but a magic stick who relies on pretending to be a god!"

boom!

The person standing here is Li Mu. He sneaked in when the villagers entered the mountain temple, waiting for the opportunity to reveal the priest's true identity. When the priest pulled out the trick of possessing the mountain god, he knew the opportunity.

When it arrived, I began to question it.

Li Mu's words immediately caused a commotion among the villagers. The priest's face changed, and he looked at him with gloomy and uncertain eyes, wondering in his mind who the person who suddenly appeared was.

"Are you wondering who I am, and how did I know you were pretending to be a ghost here?"

Without waiting for the priest to react, Li Mu took the first step and walked out of the crowd to face the priest.

"Master Priest, oh no, it should be Master Fox, right?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I found that you guys are either dogs or monkeys, but none of them are human. As expected, you only gave them the wrong names, not the wrong nicknames!"

The corners of Li Mu's mouth raised slightly, and he stared at the priest playfully. He looked at Li Mu with wide eyes and disbelief, and the surprised villagers around him also looked at them with blank expressions. He knew that he could not show his timidity, otherwise

He cannot walk out of this mountain temple alive.

There is really no good idea in this chapter, so the writing is very poor.
