Chapter 10: Incense and Merit
Recently, some strange things happened in Lijia Village, Ganlian Peak Lianhua Village, and Wushui Peak Xiaohe Village in Qifeng Mountain.
First, the hunter leader of Lijia Village, Li Lang, who is well-known around, disappeared mysteriously. After only two or three days, another hunter named "Li Sanniu" was missing in Lijia Village.
This scared the villagers of Lijia Village very much. They stayed and didn't dare to sleep. More than a dozen people patrolled in the small mailbox outside the village every night, and the blazing bonfire surrounded, for fear that some monsters and monsters were targeting Lijia Village.
Then, in full view of the crowd of people in Lijia Village, a temple "raised from the ground".
This scared the villagers of Lijia Village very much and knelt down and shouted, "Immortal, please spare my life."
Unexpectedly, what came out of the temple was not the so-called "immortals", but the familiar hunter leader Li Lang.
Li Lang told the villagers that he was poisoned by Li Sanniu, and it was the "Qifengshan Mountain God" who saved his life.
Now, Li Sanniu has been punished by the mountain god, and Li Lang has received the gift from the mountain god and is under his command.
Lord Shan God felt that the villagers of Qifeng Mountain had a hard life and set up this temple. As long as the villagers burn incense and pray sincerely under the statue of the mountain god in the temple every day, the mountain god will protect the village from being invaded by wild animals, and live and work in peace and prosperity!
If it were someone else, the villagers of Lijia Village might be skeptical, but Li Lang said that they couldn't help but believe it eighty or ninety percent.
After all, Li Lang had a very good reputation in the village in the past, and the villagers were still willing to believe him.
In addition, the appearance of this temple out of thin air was indeed not done by ordinary people.
That mountain god who can do this must be an amazing immortal!
For an "immortal" who is willing to protect the village, he needs to pray and burn incense every day, and there is no need for three animals. The cost is not high. In addition, with Li Lang's endorsement, the villagers decided to give it a try.
The next day, the villagers of Lijia Village, under the organization of the village chief "Li Ankang", had more than 100 households in the village, so they entered the mountain temple to burn incense and pray.
Then, just after the last family finished praying, suddenly someone exclaimed—
It turned out that all the crops in the village began to grow rapidly, and they all matured in less than three moments!
This was a lot more effective than Li Lang's statement.
Although there are many hunters in Lijia Village, there are more than 100 households and hundreds of people in the village. How can it be that hunting is the only way to survive? Do you really think that the beasts in the mountains are given for free?
Most villagers actually rely on farming to survive.
This full of crops and grain is really a great thing for the villagers.
After this day, most of the villagers in Lijia Village became loyal believers of the mountain god. They burned incense and prayed more on time than eating.
This incident later spread to Lianhua Village in Shenlian Peak and Xiaohe Village in Wushui Peak.
When the villagers of these two villages heard that Lijia Village had such good things, they were extremely envious.
Some of them are flexible in mind, and after careful consideration, they find something is wrong.
It is obvious that he is the "Qifengshan Mountain God", but he is from Lijia Village, so is our Lianhua Village/Xiaohe Village? There is no reason!
So, the two villages organized some strong men, brought three animals and offered sacrifices, and crossed dozens of miles of mountain land to Lijia Village Mountain Temple to worship the mountain gods.
Although the villagers of Lijia Village were unhappy, they came to worship the mountain god after all, so they didn't have the courage to stop them and had to let them go.
Unexpectedly, after the villagers in Lianhua Village and Xiaohe Village worshipped the mountain gods, the statue of the mountain god in the mountain temple shone brightly, and a golden phantom that reached dozens of feet high appeared above the temple.
"Lotus Village and Xiaohe Village are sincere and sincere. They are also specially granted two statues of gods such as Fengshan Mountain for me, and brought them back to the temple. They should be protected, which is the same as Lijia Village!"
After saying that, the huge mountain god figure waved his hand, and two statues, several feet tall, were like statues in the mountain temple of Lijia Village, flew to Lianhua Village and in front of the people of Xiaohe Village.
Seeing this miracle, the villagers in the three villages knelt down one after another, thanking the mountain god for their kindness.
Later, after the villagers of Lianhua Village and Xiaohe Village returned to the village, they were told that there was also a mountain temple similar to Lijia Village in their village, but there was a lack of statues of gods.
After the villagers of the two villages placed the statues into the temple, they immediately organized sacrifices and worshipped the whole village.
On that day, Xiaohe Village, which is adjacent to the tributary of Wujiang River and makes a living by fishing, countless plump big fish rushed to jump into the fishing nets and fish baskets of the villagers in Xiaohe Village, and even jumped directly to the shore.
The Lotus Village, which mainly cultivates land and lotus, has harvested a lotus, and the lotus and lotus roots in the pond, and the happy villagers are overjoyed. Since then, like Lijia Village, they have become loyal believers of the mountain god of Qifeng Mountain.
—————
In Feifeng Peak Cave, Wan Xuan felt the continuous generation of incense power and was also very satisfied.
The God of Steam and Fire, as the only one who walks in the chat group (although he believes in Shinto), told Wan Xuan that if you want the incense to flourish, first of all, you have to let those believers who worship you feel the personal benefits!
Everyone has greed. Only when you can bring enough benefits to others will people be willing to follow you.
Although this sentence is a bit one-sided, it is generally very accurate. Just like Wan Xuan was looking for a job in his previous life, everyone and the boss also like to be generous and profitable bosses. The truth is the same.
That's why he spared no effort to ripen crops, transform into divine shadows, and drive away the fish.
Strictly speaking, Wujiang next to Xiaohe Village is not under the jurisdiction of the Shan God's Clergy, but who made this world without the Water God Hebo? No one came to him to judge!
Strictly speaking, it is not without it. There is an old turtle in the foundation-building stage hidden in that branch of the flowing water vein. Using the division of the mortal world, it belongs to the "second-level monster".
Although this water area is still in the geographical area of Qifeng Mountain, Li Lang and other Yin soldiers are enough to deal with it, in order not to disturb the villagers, Wan Xuan took action himself to subdue the old turtle.
Who made him short of people? He looked at the turtle and felt very handsome.
And all the hard work was not in vain.
The incense and vows produced by three villages and more than 400 households are worshipped every day, not only has the power to replenish the divine power he consumed several times of displaying the saints, but also has a lot of surplus.
At this moment, he was playing with a square-hole copper coin with an ancient style.
The copper coin is half a palm-sized, with four seal characters "Incense Merits" engraved on the front, and the reverse is the full view of the fourteen peaks of Qifeng Mountain, which looks very exquisite and atmospheric.
This copper coin is a treasure made of a large amount of incense and vows, and is called "Merit Money"!
