The sky was overcast, and the black clouds were very low. It seemed like it was going to pour down at any moment.
Huan Xin sat not far from the grave, and the old lady floated beside him, telling him a meaningful story.
It turns out that this place is not a tomb at all, and the old woman in front of her is not a ghost or monster. But this mountain god sitting on the mountain.
Huan Xin was shocked at first. The mountain gods in his mind were all the little old men in Journey to the West, the great sage who jumped out with a stamp of his feet. However, the kind and solemn old lady in front of him claimed to be the "mountain god" here.
Then Huan Xin slowly learned from the old lady that the so-called mountain god was really the mountain god.
In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, there were successive disasters. The northwest border area was also impoverished, and the people lived a very miserable life. At that time, the old lady was still a young girl who was only 28 years old. His father was a quack doctor, and the girl was not the doctor's biological son. She was an orphan picked up by the doctor during the war. The doctor's surname was Fang, and his name was Fang Wencai. Doctor Fang also spent a lot of effort to rescue the infant baby from the pile of dead bodies scattered everywhere.
Fang Wencai is also a descendant of Taoist medical lineage. Although he is a traveling doctor, he has superb medical skills and is famous for his ability to save lives and heal the wounded. Fang Wencai traveled around the world, although he was nearly 40 years old, but he had no children of his own. From then on, he raised the little girl as his own. From then on, the father and daughter practiced medicine and depended on each other. He gave the little girl the word "Ning" to express his hope for the world. If the balance can be balanced, the people will be at peace.
After many years, the little girl gradually turned into a beautiful and generous girl. Fang Ning is not only smart, but also sensible and filial. Basically inheriting Fang Wenchai's legacy, Fang Ning can accurately prescribe the right medicine every time he treats a patient.
In this way, the life of father and daughter practicing medicine was difficult, but it was also a blessing to both of them. When the father and daughter came to this place in the northwest, it was still a small village, not even a county seat.
There was a serious plague here at that time. The father and daughter had always been committed to treating illnesses and saving people, so naturally they couldn't just sit idly by. Unfortunately, this place was too barren and lacked medical care. Seeing people dying one after another, Fang Wencai and his daughter were helpless and helpless.
But Fang Wencai, who has been practicing medicine for many years, naturally would not give up. He vowed to cure the plague here, so he carefully studied the symptoms of the plague, consulted ancient and modern materials, and finally came up with an effective treatment method based on the inheritance of Taoist medicine.
But the good times did not last long. Fang Langzhong became ill from overwork and accidentally contracted the disease. But he did not give up, and still worked tirelessly to treat the villagers. Fang Ning also tried to persuade his father many times to no avail. In the end, Doctor Fang still could not get over it.
Just before Fang Langzhong died, he had figured out the characteristics of the plague and provided effective medicine, which he handed over to Fang Ning. A year later, the plague was slowly brought under control, and finally all were cured. Fang Ning became a "living Bodhisattva" in the hearts of the people here. But Fang Ning also lost the only relative he had depended on since childhood.
The righteous deeds of Fang Ning and his daughter were also widely circulated in the local area. Later, the government at that time also praised them with great awards. They reported it to the court and finally gave the father and daughter the title of "Benevolence to the Common People". So Fang Ning buried his father here and opened a small medical clinic here to continue his father's legacy of saving lives and healing the wounded.
In this way, Fang Ning stayed here for the rest of her life, and she gradually grew older from a young girl. He spent his whole life hanging pots to help the world and benefit the people. He was deeply loved by the people and was known as the "living god".
Naturally, God saw Fang Ning's kindness and dedication throughout her life. Just when Fang Ning was about to die, heaven sent blessings to Fang Ning. The people all knelt down to pray for blessings. Finally, God made her the mountain god of this place. I accept the incense offered by the people here and bless them with peace.
In this way, Fang Ning truly became a mountain god. The people also built a mountain temple for Fang Ning on the top of the highest mountain here, and worshiped it for generations to pray for blessings and avoid disaster.
Time has changed, but for hundreds of years the mountain temple has been standing on this mountain. People who suffer from disasters or diseases will come up to the mountain to pray for blessings and the protection of the mountain god.
In this way, in modern times, with the arrival of New China, the people slowly accepted the new ideas, and the legend of the mountain god was naturally integrated into the ranks of feudal superstition. In addition to the elderly in the village, they sometimes also adhere to the tradition of going up to the mountain to worship. Young people rarely believe this anymore. In those turbulent ten years, the slogan of defeating all demons and monsters became an indispensable slogan for every revolutionary at that time.
At this time, the precarious mountain temple could not escape the fate of history. Being completely pushed by the group of revolutionary young generals back then, they pushed the shrine and statue to the foot of the mountain and buried it with soil. This is what Qing Xin saw now.
Speaking of this, Qing Xin also felt a little sentimental, but didn't know how to express her thoughts at this time.
Next, Grandma Shan Shen told him that during the movement at that time, her tablet was secretly taken away by a young man. Her deity is attached to the tablet. There has never been a memorial tablet for the first time, and the magic power of the mountain god grandma has been almost restricted. She has wanted to leave here many times to find her own memorial tablet, but every time she goes further away from the mountain, her magic power will be exhausted. The old lady is also frustrated and wants to Let's follow the broken mountain temple and let it be buried in dust.
Over the years, people seem to have gradually forgotten that this mountain temple once existed. Over the years, some children have always come here to play from time to time. It was not until the appearance of Qingxin that the old lady of the mountain god appeared.
She felt that Qing Xin also had a power from the gods. Although it is not easy to notice, the old lady still feels it very clearly. Just when she was thinking, she didn't expect that Xiao Min accidentally stepped on it and trampled on the mound of sealing earth. The blood in it was still left on the remains of the mountain temple. The mountain god was also a god even when he was young. Naturally, the old lady of the mountain god had to punish him for this blasphemous way, otherwise the cause and effect of Xiao Min's contamination would be even more troublesome than this.
At this time, I heard the mountain god's grandma say slowly: "That little girl has violated the gods after all. Old lady, I am not a stingy person. As long as she repent sincerely, she will be fine in two days. There is just one thing. I don't know what I can do, little friend." Can you help my old lady?"
After hearing this, Huan Xin naturally understood what the mountain god's grandmother wanted, and she also considered it in her heart. If my great-grandfather is here, then of course it won't matter, but after all, I am a child who has just graduated from elementary school. Besides, after so many years, can I help my grandma find him?
"Grandma, do you want me to help you find the tablet?" Huan Xin asked hesitantly.
The mountain god grandma nodded lightly and said: "Yes, it is best to find nature. I have been protecting a place all my life. Although the temple is gone, this is the duty given to me by God. Without the gods, I am at my wits end." , for many years, you are the only one who can see me."
