The surroundings suddenly fell into silence.
Zhang Wenfeng stared at the black willow bottle in his hand and recited the scripture silently. After a long while, he calmly asked: "What conditions do you have? Tell me. If it doesn't violate moral conscience, I can consider it."
This remnant soul of the former mountain god who got into the bottle is a cunning guy.
She cleverly used words to guide him, allowing him to discover small flaws, bring up the topic of the willow bottle, and then bring out that this bottle is a rare storage bottle, which made him not be tempted.
Treasures in the storage space are extremely rare at the current stage of rising spiritual energy.
It is only seen in descriptions in classics.
No wonder he could coexist with that Shinto thief for hundreds of years. This remnant soul is very scheming.
He had obtained the treasure but didn't know how to open it. If he used strong means to force the remnant soul, it would be counterproductive.
Remnant Soul tricked him into using a wrong method, which would most likely destroy the treasure he obtained.
What's the point of squeezing the remaining soul to death?
So we still have to use exchange. The purpose of the other party revealing such a rare treasure is to survive.
The former mountain god chuckled bitterly and said, "Fellow Taoist, you have set the framework so rigidly that even if I have the conditions, it will be difficult for me to raise it."
Zhang Wenfeng did not give in at all and said: "You can't be too greedy as a person or a ghost. If you don't tell me how to use the bottle, the bottle is still here. I want to find out its purpose. It's just a matter of time. I'm not greedy."
He spoke clearly.
The mountain god of the previous dynasty was at his wits end. When he encountered such a master who was not moved by the treasure, he could not make any plans no matter how hard he tried.
Furthermore, this man is terrifyingly shrewd, obedient and knowledgeable, and able to draw inferences from one example.
The air fell silent again.
Zhang Wenfeng was not in a hurry at all. To deal with this kind of old monster that had lived for hundreds of years, he could only adapt to the ever-changing situation by staying the same. He first drew the frame clearly, and if you had the skills, you could do some fancy work inside.
When we were almost reaching Nitan Village, the former mountain god finally spoke.
"Okay, I only have one condition. You open the gate of hell and chant sutras to save me and enter the underworld, so that I can reincarnate as a human being."
Since he was living a miserable life in this life, he decided to think clearly about his next life in a short period of time.
After I actually made my decision, I felt a sense of relief and my whole body felt relaxed.
Zhang Wenfeng is really impressed by this person, he has great wisdom.
This condition is not a condition for him. The only trouble is that the underworld is not opened by his family, and it is impossible to guarantee that the remnant soul of the former mountain god will be reincarnated as a human being.
What if this guy's sins are so serious that Hades refuses to let him enter reincarnation?
If we take a step back and let him reincarnate as an animal to redeem his sins, it is more likely that he will become a person who breaks his word?
You can tell some lies casually with your mouth, no matter how many baskets of lies you tell.
There are some things you must not say randomly, especially if you have made a promise to Shinto, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable.
After Zhang Wenfeng thought about it, he said: "Let me open the gate of hell to chant sutras to save you and enter the underworld. This condition can be agreed to. However, whether you can be reincarnated as a human in your next life is not something I can decide, but depends on the merits you have accumulated in this life." .”
The mountain god from the previous dynasty seemed to be very confident in himself, and said with a smile: "I was a diligent official and performed good governance during my lifetime. After my death, I enjoyed incense and peace for more than a hundred years, and I never made any big mistakes. I believe I can be reincarnated as a human being."
He changed the topic and slightly modified his conditions: "Can you allow me to stay in the ghost bottle for a while longer? It doesn't need to be too long, about a month. Then you can choose a good day to open the ghost gate and chant sutras." Just save it for me, you don’t need to guarantee anything else.”
Zhang Wenfeng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I promise you."
The deal was concluded, and the former mountain god informed Zhang Wenfeng of the secret of how to open the ghost bottle into a storage bottle.
He is generous and not worried at all about the other party breaking his promise.
The way of gods and ghosts has its own set of rules.
Zhang Wenfeng wrote down the magic formula, untied the torn package on his back, put the willow bottle in it to prevent it from being exposed to the sun for a long time, and stopped it in a water vat that was not very high but very thick, with gnarled branches and thick walnut trees. In front of the tree, he asked: "The evil thing has enlightened four ancient trees. I have seen peach trees, willow trees and poplar trees. Is there another one like this walnut tree?"
He saw no sign of the ancient walnut tree becoming a spirit.
On the ground directly south of the ancient tree fence, fresh offerings and burned incense candles were placed.
"That's it."
The mountain god in front of him breathed out a little breath, quickly retracted into the bottle, and said: "This walnut tree has good roots. It has been receiving incense for more than three hundred years, but the age is still slightly insufficient. It is estimated that it will take more than fifty years to have a chance. Open up wisdom and take form.-->>

"
Not all ancient trees that live long enough can be transformed into spirits.
Most of them grow in vain, and in the end they can only be used as firewood, and they are too hollow to be used as furniture.
Furthermore, the traitorous evil thing enlightened the ancient tree, and it had no good intentions, and did not care about the good or the bad, just to devour it and improve its cultivation in the future.
Zhang Wenfeng said oh, no wonder he couldn't see it, it turned out that it was still early.
Turning around and waiting to go down the mountain, the mountain god in front of him continued: "For more than fifty years, fellow Taoist, if you can't wait, there is a ready-made trick to make this walnut tree absorb enough incense nutrients in advance."
Zhang Wenfeng stopped and asked, "Are you saying that the incense buried in the mountain temple underground can be used?"
Apart from the fact that there was plenty of incense there, he really couldn't figure out where to get it?
"Yes. The power of incense and wishing originally does not distinguish between the past and the present. It is artificially restricted and distinguished."
The mountain gods of the previous dynasty naturally have a say in the power of incense.
Zhang Wenfeng thought for a long time and revealed the truth in one sentence: "Do you want to take this opportunity to absorb some of the incense's wish power?"
The former mountain god smiled, not embarrassed after being exposed, and explained: "My residual soul is too weak."
Dealing with the young Taoist priest in front of him requires a lot of energy. He needs to replenish incense to strengthen his soul power. The most important thing is that he wants to use the power of incense to keep his soul intact when he is reincarnated as a human being.
He has been a mountain god for many years and knows a lot about ghosts.
Seeing the other party's admission, Zhang Wenfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Everything has a limit. I hope you will absorb the power of incense and vows and not exceed my limit."
This is a very blunt warning, meaning there will be no next time.
He did not dare to underestimate the remnant soul living in the bottle, and just wanted to send it on its way as soon as possible.
Both times he made deals, Remnant Soul's words had hidden little traps that no one knew about.
"Sure, don't worry, I won't ask for trouble."
That's how it was settled.
Zhang Wenfeng didn't stop any longer, and went down the mountain to discuss how to collect the incense with the remaining soul of the mountain god.
As a monk, he has keen senses, so it is not difficult to avoid villagers he may encounter on the road in advance.
Returning to Xianling Mountain, Zhang Wenfeng had only reached halfway up the mountain when he heard a donkey braying "Ah uh... ah uh..." from above, and then he saw the guy rushing down from above with a baby badger on his back.
"Master, why did you end up like this? Did you fight with the dwarfs again?"
The donkey walked up and down the hillside as if it were on flat ground. It moved its tail skillfully and stopped next to the viewer. It blinked its cute black eyes and asked with concern. The viewer's body was dirty and torn, and even the package was torn. Yes, it was obviously a bad fight.
He patted the donkey's door, and then patted the young badger who stretched out his head to imitate the donkey's movements.
Zhang Wenfeng smiled and said through the message: "Let's go, we'll talk when we get up."
Donkey was worried about being trapped by the ancient tree sprites using illusions last night, and said through a message: "Master, I have been thinking hard for a long time today and figured out a way to deal with those two slippery sprites."
"Oh, what's a good idea? Tell me."
"Let's not talk about it for now. I will demonstrate it to you when the time comes. It's a pity that the little dwarf didn't come up the mountain today, otherwise it would be so beautiful."
The donkey grinned and showed his teeth in a deliberately fake way. He thought it was fun.
The viewer gave it a slap on the butt.
The second senior brother and Yue Anyan, who were meditating in the Taoist temple hall, heard the braying of a donkey and walked out of the temple gate to the top of the mountain intersection. The second senior brother raised his voice and said hello: "The temple master is back."
The old lame man, who was having a lively chat with Wei Xingde in the dining hall, let go of the iron drill after hearing this.
After reaching the top of the mountain, Zhang Wenfeng waved to Wei Xingde, who was standing in the dining hall and watched as he refused to come out, and said with a smile: "You can go home. Those two evil creatures have been eliminated. You will not have any more trouble."
Wei Xingde hurriedly smiled and took the two children out of the door, cupped his fists and saluted to express his thanks.
Zhang Wenfeng briefly explained the matter, saying that the Daolu branch of the county sent out many people to find the evil creature's lair in Banni Lake, and fought fiercely to eliminate the evil creature and eliminate future troubles forever.
There was quite a commotion at Banni Lake, and the villagers in the two nearby villages were already alarmed.
I just don't know what happened, and there are a lot of discussions.
Dozens of people died in Banni Village, and the case was serious. Dean Wu unified the story and blamed the evil beings for causing trouble, and the evil beings had been killed to calm the people and not cause panic in the nearby villagers.
