In front of the mountain temple, Chu Chen recalled the past and couldn't help but sigh that the world was unpredictable.

After drinking a few more sips of the fire cloud, he put away the wine gourd, hung it back to his waist, and stood up with a little drunkenness.

Just as I was leaving, a strange sound suddenly came from behind.

Chu Chen frowned slightly, turned his head and looked back, and saw the statue of the mountain god enshrined in the temple, which had been peeled off with a long time ago, shaking violently, causing a large area of ​​dust to fall from the roof, as if something was about to break out of the body.

"With a mere mountain ghost, how dare you act in front of the little monk?" Chu Chen lowered his eyes, his sideways eyes were filled with joking. The true energy in his body turned, and he immediately dispelled the strong alcoholic spirit in his body.

Then, Chu Chen started to move the golden body of the Mingwang, his eyes ignited the red lotus karma fire, and a circle of scorching sunlight rose behind the Dharma Image's head.

In an instant, the air around him fell into the stove and pissed with heat.

The majestic golden Buddha light filled the entire ruined temple, and the red flames flowed lightly like ribbons, intertwined and flashed.

"The Buddha is merciful, the man is merciless, the old man has no malice!!" The broken mountain god statue shivered and hurriedly issued a voice to beg for mercy.

Chu Chen Bao looked solemn and scolded sternly: "Who is the monster? You haven't quickly revealed your true form!!"

Upon hearing this, the statue of the mountain god immediately released several black smoke, but after encountering the Buddha's light emitted from Chu Chen's golden body, it melted like lard falling into charcoal fire.

Wow!

Several shrill screams rang out, and the ghostly trembled in the statue of the mountain god, begged: "Can the monk take away his magical powers? I really can't stand your magical power!"

A sneer appeared on the corner of Chu Chen's mouth.

The Vajra chapter of "The Great Sun Tathagata Sutra" and the two supernatural powers contained in the Taizang chapter all inherit the supreme Buddhist teachings, have the characteristics of subduing demons and demons, and suppressing filth. They are the nemesis of all ghosts and monsters.

Chu Chen relied on his magic power, but he was not afraid of ghosts playing any evil tricks, so he took off his golden body.

After the Buddha light karma fire disappeared, the black smoke in the mountain god statue emerged again, and condensed under the statue into an old man with a hunched figure and white hair. The old man showed his true body, his expression was still in shock, and he bowed to Chu Chen and bowed.

"The old man is named Xue Liang, who is the mountain god guarding the local area. He doesn't want to accidentally bump into the Buddha. I hope to forgive him!" The old man trembled and reported to his house, probably because he was scared by Chu Chen.

Mountain God?

When Chu Chen heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice: "Haha, this temple has not seen any incense for a long time. It has obviously been abandoned for many years. Where did the mountain god come from?"

"Don't get angry, the old man is really a mountain god..."

Xue Liang was stared at Chu Chen's eyes that contained the red lotus of karma. He felt like he fell into an ice cellar. He explained in fear and fear: "Although the old man is not a mountain god named by this dynasty, he has never done evil things to do evil. He has always abides by his duties and does his best to protect the landscape."

"Please look at the Buddha. This is a jade certificate given by the court when the little old man was named the mountain god. The name of the little old man is also recorded on it."

As he said that, Xue Liang got up from the ground, took out a piece of jade pendant wrapped in yellow cloth, lowered his head, and held it respectfully in front of Chu Chen with both hands.

Chu Chen took the jade certificate full of cracks and glanced casually. The jade certificate was indeed engraved with "In the 18th year of Yuanshou of Great Chu, Huo Qinian, the chief minister of Tianlu Temple, appointed Xue Liang as the god of guarding Yundangshan, and ranked third in the third grade!"

Since the first dynasty of ancient times, Tianxia, ​​the human race dynasty has a tradition of enfeoffing the Yin God.

In addition to establishing the Taimiao to worship the ancestors of the family, the emperor also had the Confucian Temple, the Martial Temple and the Temple. Among them, the temple was the place where the righteous gods of the Sanjiang and the Five Mountains were worshipped. When the king of any dynasty was founded, he must first enfeoff the Five Mountains of the New Dynasty, declare the ownership of the Nine Provinces, and to uphold the foundation of the country.

Usually there are only three rivers and five mountains to the emperor's pardon ceremony, including the initial location selection, person selection, agreed title, etc.

The first-rank official of the dynasty is worthy of enjoying the national incense.

As for the imperial enfeoffments below the Lord God, most of them are under the responsibility of Tianlu Temple, which is run by Confucianism. Generally, the ghosts of Taoist monks after the corpse are dismantled will be selected to shape the golden body for them and turn them into the divine way.

Confucian scholars would not enter the divine way because the sage and his master once said that his son did not say that his powers were in chaos. Therefore, after the death of a great scholar, his tablet was directly placed in the Confucian Temple.

Moreover, the status of the Confucian Temple is far above the temple.

Since the second dynasty of Jiuzhou, the Dragon and Han dynasties, the Confucian temple has always been the Confucian sages, and has been passed down for generations without changing.

Let’s talk about the mountain god Xue Liang, the Great Chu, who was granted the title of his god, was the previous dynasty when the country was destroyed in the dark era. Xue Liang kept saying that he was a mountain god, but the mountain god in the previous dynasty would not be recognized by this dynasty because one emperor and another minister, let alone the mountain god was an important bargaining chip for the dynasties to win over the Taoist sects in history.

Therefore, he lost the incense and his golden body was disrepaired for a long time. Xue Liang's divine nature gradually dissipated over time and turned into a lonely and wild ghost-like existence.

"Tsk tsk, you are a very good-looking mountain god from the third-grade mountain god who was founded by the Zhengqing of Tianlu Temple." Chu Chen threw the jade letter back and joked with a sarcastic smile.

If Xue Liang had not lost his divine nature, Chu Chen would never dare to mock him in such a tone.

Because the strength of the third-grade mountain god is equivalent to that of the peak master of the third-grade middle-grade, he can easily step on his feet, let alone replying while kneeling.

"I dare not take it, I dare not take it..."

It is estimated that he has lived for countless years, and Xue Liang also realized that this is not the same as before. He smiled and picked up the jade slip, carefully wrapped it in yellow cloth and stuffed it back into his arms, and then praised: "The little old man is just a Yin god in the previous dynasty. It is not easy to hide in the dilapidated temple and barely survive. If he still falls into the eyes of the young Buddha, it can be regarded as the little old man's fortune."

Chu Chen was amused by Xue Liang's humiliation.

This guy was once a third-grade mountain god who was so glorious, but now he is cautiously flattering him as a junior. He really lives for a long time.

"I remember that you did not disturb the little monk from meditation last night. I know that you have no evil intentions. I came out this morning and must have asked for the little monk." Chu Chen shook his head and smiled and said, "What are you asking for? Let's listen."

Xue Liang hurriedly thanked and said, "Thank you, Lord Buddha! Lord Buddha's heart is like a mirror, and he can see through the little old man's thoughts at first sight. The little old man admires him so much!"

He wears all the things he wears, but does not wear flattery, Chu Chen accepts it calmly with a smile.

Then, Xue Liang spoke out his request.

"The Buddha clearly understands that the young man was in the Yundangshan Siwei for more than a thousand years. Although he had no contribution, he also worked hard. The old man lost his position of god due to civil strife in the previous dynasty. He could have gone elsewhere to practice ghost paths, but he still insisted on the ruined temple here, because the young man really couldn't let go of this mountain and water in his heart."

"For the old man, Yundang Mountain is equivalent to being born in his hometown, so he never wants to leave."
