"The Duke of the country entered the mountain, but did he offend the god in the mountain?"
In Huo County, Wang Wengong was sitting in the main hall of the county government office. His eyes were closed tightly, and there seemed to be hundreds of millions of thoughts flowing in his chest.
Next to Wang Wengong were Chen Tu, the county magistrate, and the county's chief scholar, both of whom had uneasy expressions on their faces.
No matter the county magistrate Chen Tu or Xi Xiucai, one can see the reluctance on their faces, and there is also a sense of helplessness and tension in them.
For others, they may not know how the terrifying scene came about.
But there are 80,000 people in Huo County, but many people know that the terrifying scene in the world happened not long after the god in Guishan took the noble man into the mountain.
The god in the mountain sent the yellow demon down the mountain to pick up the noble man. As soon as Mo Yao burned a stick of incense, a big star appeared in the world and was about to fall into the nine states of Xia.
As long as you use your brain a little bit, you will inevitably think that the big star is inseparable from the god in the mountain, or even the noble person who entered the mountain.
At this moment, it was only half an hour before the dust settled, and there were rumors in the county.
Most of these rumors were caused by the noble man offending the god in the mountain, causing the god to be furious, and it was only then that the horrifying scene of a huge star falling into the world emerged.
As for why gods eliminate disasters?
Naturally, the gods and men in the mountains are merciful. Although they are angry in their hearts, they do not want to implicate the people of all Xia and Jiuzhou, causing all life in this vast land to be devastated!
Wang Wengong himself, at this moment, felt like he had been in the mountains, but it felt like he was in another world...
Chen Tu and Xi Xiucai came hand in hand, and Wang Wengong knew the meaning in his heart. These two people did not come on their own initiative, but were probably forced by the big families in the county.
Others in Jiuzhou in the Xia Dynasty may turn a blind eye to the gods, but Huo County is right in front of Guishan. There are another 80,000 people in the county. If there is a big change in the mountains, all 80,000 people in the county may have to leave their homes and move.
When Wang Wengong opened his eyes, he also saw the expressions on Chen Tu and Xi Xiucai's faces.
However, when he saw the tension on Chen Tu's face, Wang Wengong's eyes softened a little. Just this hint of nervousness shows that the county magistrate in front of him is always worried about the future direction of the county.
Wang Wengong restrained his thoughts, listened to the words of the two men, and nodded slowly.
"You have indeed offended the God of the Mountain!"
"Just like what the people in the county said, I, a person from down the mountain, don't know the gods, humans, and gods on the mountain, so my words are often offensive."
"It's just that the man of God is generous. He doesn't care about me, a man from the mountain, and even sent my subordinate Huang Yao to send me back!"
"As for you and others in Huo County, there is no need to move."
"There may be changes in the mountains, but whether the changes are good or not bad may be due to the good fortune of Huo County."
Wang Wenggong spoke slowly, perhaps because he was walking between life and death and the desolation of life. Although there is still a look of worry on Wang Wengong's eyebrows, his words are more open-minded.
When he walked into the county government office, Wang Wengong had already heard the discussions among the people in the county.
What's more, when he travels as a prince, he has his own personal entourage by his side.
The person who followed him did not go up the mountain with him. He stayed in the county and served as his eyes and ears. There were rumors in the county that since he came down from the mountain, there were people who followed him to tell Wang Wen Gong.
"It's good if nothing happens, it's good if nothing happens!"
After hearing Wang Wengong's words, County Magistrate Chen Tu and Xi Xiucai looked at each other, both seeing luck in each other's eyes.
According to Xi Xiucai's status, he shouldn't have appeared here.
Seeing the terrifying celestial phenomena before, and knowing that Xi Xiucai was the enlightened gentleman of the yellow demon raised by the gods in the mountains, Chen Tu did not dare to trust him.
If it were Chen Tu alone, even if he was forced by a big family in the county, he might not be willing to come to meet the former Duke. But when he brought the scholar to the table, Chen Tu felt a little courage out of thin air.
"Well, I wonder if the Duke has ever asked the name of the god in the mountain?"
"There are 80,000 people in the county, and everyone is grateful for the kindness of the gods in the mountains. The people in the city even build a lifetime shrine for the gods in the mountains, and they offer incense every day."
County magistrate Chen Tu carefully looked at Wang Wengong in front of him. Seeing that the old man's tone was not impatient, he asked for advice in a low voice.
The theory that the god in the mountain appeared has been rumored in Huo County for two or three months, but in fact not many people wanted to worship the god in the mountain.
Now that the gods and men in the mountains have magical powers, almost all the big families in Huo County are waiting outside the county offices, rushing to build a shrine to the gods and men in the mountains.
Most people say that the ancients feared power rather than virtue.
Although there is a fallacy in this statement, there is also truth in it.
Although everyone in Huo County knew about the gods in the mountains before, no one could really see the gods. At most, they could only see a light and shadow, or a white rainbow.
The moon in the flowers and the water in the mirror is undoubtedly a little less awe-inspiring.
But now everyone in Huo County knows that if the god in the mountain is angry, Huo County may be reduced to ruins in an instant.
Knowing that the god in the mountains has supreme supernatural powers, the big families in the county just want to spend a large sum of money to build a temple for this god in the mountains!
Such actions are all due to human nature.
What the ancients thought was nothing more than that if you have weird tricks and I can't offend you, then I will build a temple for you and make offerings to you with endless incense.
For the sake of this incense love, I don't ask for any blessings, I just ask that I never be punished.
It's not out of fear of power rather than virtue, but it's really a helpless move!
Human power is so weak in the face of nature. This act of offering incense is useless, but it can calm people's hearts.
In the eyes of the ancients who had inconvenient transportation and more rural sentiments, this was probably the best way they could think of to deal with dangers that they could not withstand.
"Building a temple and a shrine for the gods in the mountains?"
When Wang Wengong heard Chen Tu's words, he subconsciously wanted to reprimand him. But thinking about the young man in the mountains, Wang Wengong forcefully suppressed the urge again.
After two breaths of silence, Wang Wengong seemed to have thought of something and spoke slowly.
"There is no need to build temples and ancestral halls for the gods in the mountains. If the county magistrate is willing, he can enshrine the images of the sacred trees in the mountains in the temple."
"The sacred tree is an ancient building tree. This is not disrespectful to the gods, but the gods don't care about the fireworks in the world."
"Jianmu is a treasure of gods and men. There is a lot of love and care in my words. Please ask me to ask the officials for an edict for the sacred tree and seal the edict for Jianmu."
"All the people in the county worship Jianmu alone, which is enough to please the gods and men in the mountains."
Wang Wengong suppressed his displeasure, and then listened to the rustling and commotion outside the county government office. He knew that the establishment of temples and ancestral halls was mostly the idea of big families in the county.
If he did not allow the big families in the county to build temples and ancestral halls, not only would he offend others, but in fact he would not be able to stop these people from building temples and ancestral halls after he left.
Rather than blocking, it’s better to comb.
It was the god in the mountains who told him that he might as well just go along with the flow.
Sure enough, when Wang Wengong finished speaking, the rustling sounds outside the county government office turned into a sigh of relief again.
"As for the name of the god in the mountain, there is no one who has entrusted me with it, so it is inconvenient to tell others."
Wang Anshi added that the county magistrates Chen Tu and Xi Xiucai were forced to come, so he was not forced.
If he hadn't said this, the county magistrate Chen Tu Moyue would not have dared to embarrass him. However, even if the big families outside the county government did not have the courage to kill people and silence them, Wang Wengong could not get out of Huo County in a short time. It's difficult.
"Thank you, Lord Duke, for clearing up the confusion!"
Chen Tu asked because he wanted to know something, and he didn't stay here for long. He just bowed to Wang Wengong and said goodbye.
This really made Chen Tu dare not have anything to do with Wang Wengong in front of him. Even Wang Wengong himself said that he offended the mountain god because he was magnanimous.
Chen Tu still has to perform his duties in Huo County, but he doesn't dare to bet on whether the god in the mountains will really forgive Wang Wengong in front of him.
"Stay here, Mr. Xi, please stay."
"I will leave for Bianjing in the near future. Since Sir is the enlightened teacher of the Yellow Demon in the mountains, he must know something about the things in the mountains. How about going to the capital with me?"
When Wang Wengong saw Chen Tu leaving, he didn't say much. But when he saw Xi Xiucai following him and saluted him again, Wang Wengong quickly stopped him.
"this……"
"My lord, please forgive me."
"Every holiday, I have to go to the mountains to learn enlightenment with my student. I really can't get away..."
Xi Xiucai was stopped by Wang Wengong, with a somewhat complicated look on his face. As a scholar, it is naturally impossible to say that I don’t want to see Bianjing City.
But Xi Xiucai also remembered that he was still the enlightened teacher of the yellow demon in the mountains.
"Mr. Xi, there is no need to worry."
"There may be big commotion in the mountains recently. Mr. Xi's enlightenment for your student will probably only take some time."
"If I'm wasting a little time, why don't I ask Mr. Xi to go to Beijing with me to meet the Holy Spirit? If I'm alone, I might not be able to explain the affairs of the gods and men in the mountain to the current officials!"
Wang Wengong bowed his hands to the scholar in front of him, his words full of sincerity.
This mountain god is really too big. He wants to bring Xi Xiucai with him because Xi Xiucai has been into the mountains countless times, so he must know something about the things in the mountains!
When Xi Xiucai saw Wang Wen Gong in action, he turned away and did not dare to accept this gift.
By now, Xi Xiucai already knew the identity of the noble man in front of him. The other party respected him as Mr. Huang Xiao Kaimeng, but he himself did not dare to ask Da to accept this gift.
Seeing that Wang Wen Gong paid so much attention to it, and listening to Wang Wen Gong's words, Xi Xiucai had no choice but to return the favor and comply with Wang Wen Gong's request.
Huang Xiao in the mountains had no idea that his enlightened teacher was about to leave. If Huang Xiao knew about this, he would have to spend half a day in the mountains to celebrate!
He couldn't figure it out. He was a good dog, so why did he have to learn the ways of the world?
Even if you want to learn it, it is a yellow demon in the mountains, so it should be learned from the emotions of demons, or the emotions of animals.
At this moment, Huang Xiao was standing in front of a big insect in the mountain. This big insect in the mountain was also very funny. It actually covered its eyes with its claws and shivered all over. It looked very silly and cute.
It seemed that the big insect felt that by covering his eyes with his claws, he could not see the terrifying scene outside, let alone the changes in the mountain at this moment.
But Huang Xiao stretched out his paw and patted the big cat on the head.
Visible to the naked eye, every time Huang Xiao's paws patted, the body of the big mountain cat trembled with fear, which was really fun.
Although Huang Xiao was teasing his free-range big cat, his eyes also fell on the figure in the mountain.
The figure of the young man rides on a green wooden dragon and stands just above the wooden dragon's head, like a god relegated to the world, or like an immortal coming to the world.
As the wooden dragon rolled and moved, one could clearly see the young god's frown.
If someone stands next to the young god, they can actually hear the young god murmuring to himself.
"Trouble please!"
"The hills in the Dabie Mountains are really short. If I had known this, I should have moved to Huangshan Mountain early in the morning."
"If I go to Huangshan, I probably won't have to worry about changing the scenery in the mountains!"
"Huangshan Mountain is already misty and misty. Coupled with the strange pines and rocks, even without any modification, it still fits my idea of a blessed land and a cave."
"But now that I've made up my mind, it's too late to say this. I just want to think about how to embellish the mountains in front of me!"
Yuan Sheng frowned and murmured, then pointed lightly at the hill in front of him.
In just an instant, the hills in front of him grew out of the ground, and in a matter of seconds, the small hills of thirty to fifty meters turned into mountains of nearly one thousand meters.
As a price, the rocks for several miles around the mountain were dissipated.
If people at the foot of the mountain could see what Yuan Sheng was doing at this moment, they would probably remember in their hearts that the god in the mountain had the power to move mountains.
But only Yuan Sheng himself knew that he was just moving rocks using earth escape.
If others want to ask Yuan Sheng why he does not need to form seals to cast spells, Yuan Sheng has an answer.
He has been practicing for this skill for a long time.
For no other reason than that Yuan Sheng wanted to maintain his image of a fake fairy in front of outsiders. In other words, the process of forming seals is actually happening between his fingers!
Senju Hashirama can think of anything with just a clap of his hands. He was once better than anyone else. He could just raise his hand and have a spell appear in a silent place. Isn't that too much?
