"There is no mountain god here..."
There are countless peaks and mountains in the world, but not one of them has a mountain god.
However, mountain gods can also be divided into innate and acquired.
The innate mountain god does not rely on the faith of living beings.
The aura of the mountain has spiritual wisdom and attains the Tao to transform into the form, and it is the innate mountain god. This type of mountain god often has vast supernatural powers and powerful magic, especially in the place where he was born, and is equivalent to the incarnation of the mountain.
Most of the gods of Houtian Mountain come from faith.
They are also divided into natural gods and human gods.
Sometimes, when people see a mountain that is majestic, majestic, or holy, they spontaneously regard it as a sacred mountain. Over time, the incense promotes the birth of a mountain god, and there is a real mountain god.
Some are mountain fairies and ghosts, but they have not gone down a bad path, but have become good friends with people. As long as someone offers incense and has many followers, they become mountain gods. Or the imperial court ordered and the Heavenly Palace agreed to confer a person with outstanding virtues as the mountain god of a famous mountain.
Xiantian Mountain Gods are usually born in places far away from the human world, where spiritual energy is abundant. Houtian mountain gods are usually born around areas where people live or even in cities. The more prosperous the place, the easier it is for mountain gods to be born.
Many mountains around Changjing have mountain gods.
Yanhui Mountain is not an unknown mountain. It has a name and is majestic. It is located near Changjing and on the edge of the official road. Although it is not strange that there is no mountain god, it is more normal to have a mountain god.
In addition, there are often goblins and ghosts that harm people...
"..."
Song You closed his eyes and felt the aura of the mountains.
As expected, nothing was found.
I also asked the mountain animals for advice.
Still nothing.
Thinking about it, this place is close to Changjing. If there is a real big monster practicing here, and letting the little monsters in the mountains go out to harm people for him, he must be good at hiding it.
However, Song You was not in a hurry, so he found a place to sit in the shade of a tree on the mountain, basking in the sun and enjoying the spring scenery.
Tomorrow is the Spring Equinox.
At the Spring Equinox, day and night are equally divided, and the yin and yang of heaven and earth are both strong and weak, achieving a perfect balance that is both harmonious and mysterious. The spirits of heaven and earth, monsters and ghosts, mostly practice the yin and yang method or the spiritual energy method of heaven and earth. They absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and gather the essence of the sun and the moon. Human monks also use these two methods for most of their practice.
When the spring equinox arrives, the yin and yang are balanced and the spiritual energy is in harmony. If there are powerful ghosts or human monks practicing somewhere, they will inevitably break this balance and interfere with this harmony.
No matter how well you hide it, you can't hide it.
Apart from heaven and earth, if anyone else can achieve this perfect balance and harmony, it can be called a great power.
Eat dry food and drink some water at noon.
Don’t forget to take a nap.
The calico cat jumped around next to him, catching butterflies or flying insects. Sometimes it climbed up the tree next to it, scratching its claws on the bark and making a sizzling sound. Sometimes it got into the grass and disappeared without a trace. After a while, Then he came back with his mouth open, sniffed between his nose, and then left again.
As for what the Taoist priest was doing on the mountain and why he didn't leave, the calico cat didn't ask much.
It’s not that I’m not curious, I’m just used to it.
This Taoist priest always does strange things, always likes to walk on remote roads, and always likes to climb to the top of the mountain. She used to ask questions, and the Taoist priests also answered them, but she also felt bored by them, so she didn't bother to ask anymore.
Anyway, just follow him.
It was spring when the flowers were blooming, and occasionally some small animals would pass by Song You. When Song You saw them, he would just advise them to leave quickly, otherwise they would suffer a lot if his Sanhua Empress came back.
At night, it was late at night.
The yin and yang gradually balance and the spiritual energy becomes harmonious.
The stars were all over the place. The Taoist, followed by a confused calico cat, stepped onto the top of the mountain again. Looking up, whether it was the aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, or the aura of starlight, what appeared in the eyes of the Taoist was peace and tranquility. There's only one thing that's a little strange.
There's a little bit of gloom over there.
Usually it is difficult to detect, but now it looks like a piece of pure white paper with a little dust on it, which is very abrupt.
So the Taoist pointed in one direction:
"I'm going over there."
"What are you going to do?" the calico cat said in a daze, raising a paw to rub its eyes while talking, "are you going to pee?"
"There's a monster over there."
"There's another monster!"
"It's a big monster."
"Can't Sanhua Empress go?"
"Okay." Song You paused, "But please ask Sanhua Empress to stay in her robe."
"Are you staying in the sack all the time?"
"It depends on Empress Sanhua, but no matter what, after getting there, Empress Sanhua will stay in her robe." Song You paused, "Don't get separated from me."
"Well……"
The calico cat thought for a while and realized that human eyes were not as good as cats and could not see the road clearly at night, so he said, "I'll walk for a while."
"good."
The cat is in front and the Taoist is behind.
Let’s borrow some starlight.
Then the stars on this mountain seemed to be a little brighter.
Not much, just a little.
I can only see things vaguely with the starlight, and I still can't see clearly what the road conditions are. Now I can only barely discern the road. Even the calico cat was only vaguely aware of it. He raised his head and stared at it. He just thought it was a cloud above his head that had been blown away by the wind and didn't pay much attention.
"Go this way."
Calico cats find paths that humans can walk.
Climb one mountain, then climb another.
Finally arrived at a place where the Yin Qi is slightly heavier.
Song You followed the slightly unexpected source of Yin Qi and only came to a cliff.
Under the starlight, the cliff shows a light gray color. When you touch it with your hands, you can see that it is an uneven stone wall with a rough frosted texture, and even powder will fall off when you touch it.
"It's really done."
Song You opened his mouth.
This is a monster spell.
This kind of spell blocks both the human heart and the human body. If you want to pass through it, it will be difficult to rely on brute force alone. However, if you see through its essence, you will know that this is not a stone wall, but a hole. Close your eyes and then help. With a little spiritual power, it can be easily overcome.
There might be a big hall inside.
Maybe a hole.
Maybe there are institutional restrictions, maybe not.
In any case, there is no reason to break into someone else's house without knocking.
I don’t know if there are any spirits watching at the entrance of the cave, or if there is any other exit. In short, the Taoist looked around and found nothing. When it was almost dawn, he knocked on the stone wall:
"Is there anyone inside?"
There was a faint echo inside.
This ordinary-sounding voice seemed to have been carried far away inside, echoing endlessly.
Unless you are deaf, I am afraid you can hear it.
After a while, no one responded.
"My surname is Song Mingyou, and I have come to visit you. Since you are in the cave, why don't you come out and see me?"
"Well?"
The calico cat had already returned to its sash, with only its head exposed. When it heard the Taoist talking to himself, it couldn't help but look up at him and make a confused sound.
But she saw a hand reaching out and pushing her back.
"Won't you come out?
"Then...
"call……"
Song You breathed forward casually.
The breath becomes fire, and the flame becomes a dragon.
This flame hit the stone wall, but it did not spread along the stone wall. Instead, it easily passed through and ended up nowhere.
The Taoist seemed to be just talking to himself: "It would be a pity to destroy such a wonderful cave..."
"Boom!"
There was a muffled sound in the mountain.
Then there was a sharp voice: "Who is so bold? Dare to break into my cave!"
Song You couldn't help but take a few steps back.
With the starlight in the sky, I saw a dark wind flying out and stopping at the entrance of the cave. The wind dissipated, revealing a figure staring directly at him.
Song You took a deep breath.
An evil spirit.
"My surname is Song Mingyou. I come from a mountain in Lingquan County, Yizhou. I swam to Changjing. Because I didn't have enough money, I came to the mountains to slay demons. Unexpectedly, I found the cave under my feet." Song You raised his hands and bowed, "Look at the yin under my feet. The evil spirit is so strong, it’s either a thousand-year-old ghost or a Yin cultivator monster.”
"How did you find me here?"
"I have my own abilities."
"What do you mean by calling the door?"
"Here, I gave birth to monsters and ghosts in the mountains, and then ordered them to go down the mountain and rob mortals to practice for themselves." Song You said, "I wonder if I'm wrong?"
"That's nonsense!"
"oh?"
"Can you see me eating people?"
"Is your step a ghost?"
"What about ghosts?"
"Why should I deny it when I am full of sinister energy?"
"You're the only one here?"
"I'm the only one." Song You answered truthfully, "Why don't you sign up for your number?"
"Grandpa Wei of the Jin family is the same!"
"It's indeed a ghost."
Song You said in his heart: No wonder.
Listening to him talk, I felt like he was a ghost.
"How are you doing?"
"Encourage every step to do good."
"How do you persuade me to do good?"
"He can eat countless people with one step and commit many evil deeds. Death is a good thing."
"So much nonsense! If you want to do justice for heaven, it depends on your ability!" said the ghost, "I have been cultivating here for many years, and you are the first to find it. In this case, please keep your life!"
"good……"
After Song Yu finished speaking, he spat it out casually, like a breath of wind, but it was like a dragon's flame.
"snort……"
The ghost snorted softly. He had experienced this flame just now in the cave. It was just ordinary fire. Ordinary ghosts were naturally afraid of it. However, he had practiced here for three dynasties and was not afraid of this.
"Canopy!"
The flame was in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Just as he was about to wave his hand to disperse it, he felt the extraordinary nature of the flame, which seemed to make his soul tremble.
"not good!"
This is real fire!
The big ghost quickly turned into black mist and got out of the way. The flames hit the wall and quickly disappeared.
When he turned to look at Song You, he had already opened his eyes wide, knowing that this was not an ordinary Taoist, but a person with profound Taoism.
Only in troubled times do monsters emerge, and so do masters who can conquer them. The big ghost first experienced troubled times six hundred years ago, when he was still a little ghost. The last troubled times we experienced were two hundred years ago. At that time, Taoism had already become a climate, but we were able to hide well. In the following two hundred years of peace, there were few demons and Taoists in the world, and he rarely fought against them. In the past few decades, he felt that his Taoism had deepened. Even in the troubled times, he was enough to become a ghost king, and there were not many Taoism in Changjing. The profound expert has just begun to have ideas for the people under the mountain, but he is very unfamiliar with fighting with people who practice Taoism.
During this encounter, I was a little flustered, but also a little excited.
After practicing hard for many years, I finally found a place to use it.
"Where are the monsters in the mountains!"
Hearing his angry shout, the mountain trembled.
Birds fluttered up.
Immediately, there were a series of sounds in the forest, either the grass and trees were pushed aside, or the branches were broken.
More than a dozen goblins and ghosts quickly gathered around.
There are mountain monsters like the day before yesterday, there are also other mountain animals that have become spirits, and there are other evil things. It is assumed that they were all bred by this big ghost. If there were no special circumstances, after the mountain monster was killed, it would be these spirits that would take its place and cause harm at the foot of the mountain. At this time, they all followed orders and rushed over. The stupid ones looked at the big ghost, and the smart ones stared at Song You.
