Quickly wear a chapter to end

The original owner was the mountain god of Kuishan, who was worshipped by the people and received incense from the world. The place blessed by the original owner had good weather and the people lived and worked in peace for hundreds of years. It was a pure land.

However, a plague god that occurs rarely in a thousand years appeared in the world, causing the plague to spread everywhere. The people protected by the original owner also got the plague. The original owner used all his magical powers to save only a hundred people.

But those who survived lost their loved ones and relatives. They resented the original owner, who accepted their offerings but did not protect them from suffering. They complained that the original owner had the ability but did not save their relatives.

The original owner understood their feelings very well, but she had consumed too much and in the end she couldn't even maintain her human form, nor could she explain it.

But there was a sensible person among these people. He was a little boy. He had a small body but very clear eyes. It was a pity that he died young.

Perhaps because of his short life, the boy was very bold and argued with the scholars, speaking for the original owner. Even when he was beaten by them and spitting blood, he refused to admit his mistakes.

After those people left, the original owner turned into his original form, came to his side, thanked him for his righteous words, and healed his wounds.

"You are the mountain goddess, right?"

The original owner nodded.

"If I can see the Mountain Goddess before I die, I will die without any regrets."

"Mountain Goddess, you don't need to waste your divine power on me anymore. I am a short-lived person. I have been helpless since I was a child. Now I am alone. No one will miss me even if I die."

The original owner couldn't bear it and was willing to share his luck with the boy, so that he could avoid the fate of young death.

But as a condition, the boy must rebuild the mountain temple for her and guard it for thirty years.

The young man readily agreed, but after the original owner performed a secret technique and fell into a coma, the young man did not keep his promise. He felt that human life was short, and if he was asked to guard the mountain temple for thirty years, his life would basically be over.

How is this different from being short-lived?

The young man inherited the luck of the original owner, and by chance he embarked on the journey of searching for immortality. Before ascending to heaven, he remembered the original owner, and went to Kuishan to break up the original owner's soul, and his immortal body was refined into his magic weapon.

……

"Mountain Goddess, I don't want to die, can you save me?"

In a remote and dilapidated mountain temple, a five-year-old boy knelt devoutly on a mat, his eyes full of desire for life.

Zhang Shan looked at the child and could vaguely see what he would look like as an adult: that ungrateful and treacherous boy.

The original owner was not unaware of Lin Feng's request, but life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God. Forcibly changing a mortal's fate will be punished by God. There are too many people like Lin Feng.

If Lin Feng's fate was changed, then other people would come to her for help, and those who wanted to gain immortality would also ask her for help. This mouth must never be opened.

Lin Feng knelt on the mat for a long time, but did not feel any changes in his body, and felt lost.

But at the same time, people also question the divinity of the mountain goddess here.

"Isn't it said that the goddess of the mountain in Kui Mountain is very effective? Why doesn't the goddess of the mountain show up and help me?"

The little boy was unhappy in his heart, but he disguised it well and didn't let others see it.

Zhang Shan watched Lin Feng leave angrily. After everyone walked out of the mountain temple, her eyes fell on the dilapidated mountain temple again.

To put it nicely, it is a temple, but in fact it is just a cave. There is a big stone in the cave. The shape of the stone is a fox, which is also the prototype of the original owner.

Thousands of years ago, he cultivated Taoism and became an immortal, leaving his mortal body and becoming a local immortal in Kuishan, protecting all living beings.

Over the centuries, her body has been petrified.

Zhang Shan smashed the stone, revealing the exquisite bone inside the stone. The exquisite bone emitted golden light. Zhang Shan combined with the exquisite bone and slowly turned into a fairy-like girl.

At the moment the stone statue was smashed, the earth and sky of Kuishan Mountain shook violently, the location of the mountain temple collapsed directly, and the cave disappeared.

"What's going on? There hasn't been an earthquake in Kui Mountain for many years. Didn't the mountain goddess protect us? Why did the earthquake happen?"

The original owner has protected the people of Kuishan for thousands of years. The people here seem to have forgotten their original intentions. They only ask the mountain goddess for help in everything and they will get what they want.

This kind of prayer has changed its meaning. It is too easy to get. They will not cherish it, nor will they be grateful. Just look at the original owner's mountain temple and you will know that thousands of years have passed, and the mountain temple is still a gloomy cave, and incense has not been lit for a long time.

They were able to see that the thing was actually the mat they were kneeling on, and the original owner had not received the power of faith, but had continued to help them, and his cultivation had not improved for a long time.

Maybe Kuishan is too peaceful. The people have enough food and drink, are in good spirits, and have the leisure to go up the mountain to see what is going on?

However, when they arrived at the mountain, they saw that the mountain temple was gone. They couldn't even tell which stone was the entrance to the cave. "Village chief, the mountain temple is gone. What should we do?"

The old village chief stroked his beard, his plump body trembling. After looking at the situation, he said nonchalantly, "It's gone, so what? How come we have lived for so many years and have never seen the mountain goddess appear? Maybe the older generation is fooling us."

"But isn't it because of the mountain goddess's blessing that we can live a good life?"

"We can live a good life, which is clearly the result of our own efforts. It has nothing to do with the Mountain Goddess. She has received our incense for so many years but has never done anything for us. Now she is probably too ashamed to face the world and has disappeared on her own."

Others also thought it made sense. They seldom came to the mountain temple, so if it was gone, it was gone.

The fact that the people of Kuishan can live a good life is indeed inseparable from their efforts, but what is more important is the right time and place. You know, in other places, no matter how hard-working the people are, they cannot have enough food all year round.

The original owner brought them good weather and protected the peace in the area, preventing bandits from committing crimes in the village and making the officials naturally have a good impression of them.

This is a mysterious thing, people call it fortune.

The original owner brought good fortune to the people of Kuishan.

But now, they seem to no longer be needed.

Zhang Shan has now become an immortal, but the original owner chose to stay in the lower world, so she cannot leave Kuishan.

After the mountain temple disappeared, the faint power of faith also dissipated.

The disappearance of the mountain god temple caused a heated discussion in Kuishan Village. Some people didn't care, while others seemed to have lost their backbone.

Lin Feng, who traveled thousands of miles to Kui Mountain to extend his life, was also dumbfounded. Before he could extend his life, the mountain goddess ran away?

She ran up the mountain and saw that the mountain temple was really gone. She sat down on the ground in disappointment, "What should I do? What should I do? Will I die?"

"But I don't want to die, what should I do?"

There was a very efficacious mountain god temple in Kuishan, which attracted many people to burn incense and pray, but the mountain god temple collapsed in the blink of an eye, and the sacred stone disappeared with it.

Many people came out of curiosity, took a look, shook their heads and left.

Among them, there was an old man with a white beard. He counted with his fingers and said, "The mountain goddess has not left, but the protection this place had received before has also disappeared."

"real or fake?"

"Is there really a mountain goddess?"

"Then why did the mountain temple collapse? Where did the sacred stone go?"

The crowd kept talking to the old Taoist priest, who was also very good-tempered. "The Mountain Goddess is disappointed in you. If you want to gain the protection of the Mountain Goddess again, then you should build a temple and erect a statue for her."

"But I still suggest that you get a statue to worship, so that the mountain goddess will feel your sincerity."

"Will the Mountain Goddess really bless us again in this way?"

"Sincerity can move metal and stone! This is all the old Taoist said."

This old Taoist priest was quite skilled in Taoism, and Zhang Shan did not stop him from revealing the secret. If someone worshipped her devoutly for three to five years, it was possible for her to lend a helping hand and protect them again.

Some people believe it, some people don't.

But when the harvest came out this year, everyone was worried and asked, "Could it be that the mountain goddess really blessed us?"

Now that the mountain goddess doesn’t bless them, the harvest will be bad?

"Head of the family, this year's grain production has dropped by more than half compared to previous years. How are we going to get through this year? We have three more mouths to feed, and my eldest son's wife is pregnant with a baby..."

"We still have some money at home. Let's go to town and buy food after we finish eating."

"But that money is reserved for Lao Wu's studies. We can't touch that money!"

Thinking about the high-ranking officials who left the village and the relatives who were taken to the city to live a good life, the village chief gritted his teeth and finally did not touch the money for Lao Wu's studies.

"Yes, this money cannot be touched!"

Just two days later, their fifth brother came back. It was said that he had committed a crime in the academy and was kicked out by the teacher.

At the same time, those high-ranking officials who had already left the government and had bad conduct were all dismissed, and some were even exiled after their homes were confiscated.

They returned to Kuishan Village, but this time, the crop yields in the village were poor, they couldn't grow crops well, and they couldn't get enough food.

In previous years, Kuishan Village had surplus grain to sell in the town. This year, the situation was different. Seeing this, the grain shop owners also raised the price of grain.

"God damn it, that shopkeeper Wang is so evil. We used to sell him three cents a pound, but now he's selling us fifteen cents a pound. Why doesn't he just rob us?"

Everyone was indignant, but if they didn't buy, there would be no food.

At night, the village chief and his wife lay in bed, tossing and turning but unable to fall asleep. His wife also woke up and said, "Boss, do you think what the Taoist priest said is true?"

The village chief did not answer, he was not sure either.

"Although the Zhou family's harvest this year is not much, it is much more than ours, and at least it can support a large family. I heard that they picked up a stone from the back mountain and hired a craftsman. Now the statue of the mountain god is enshrined in the family temple. What do you think, should we take it..."

"Go to sleep and stop thinking about it."

The village chief also had doubts in his heart, but he didn't want to contradict himself. He just didn't believe that without the Mountain Goddess, their family would starve to death.

Obviously they would not starve to death. After so many years of accumulation, they had saved a lot of money, which could support their family for decades.

But if that were the case, the fifth child in their family would really have no money to go to school.

In the huge Kuishan Village, there are only three or five households that have invited statues of gods. It’s not the number of people, but the quality of them. The power of faith that Zhang Shan has received is much stronger, so he can give back a little more.

This little bit of feedback will not cause them to starve to death, but it will be impossible for them to live a life of wealth and glory.

Many people did not believe that the Mountain Goddess had such great powers at first. Only a few people who had served as officials knew what kind of life people lived outside Mount Kui.

As the years passed, the situation of Kuishan became similar to that of the villages outside. People complained bitterly, and all of them became pale and thin. Many people died during that period.

At this time, people began to believe what the Taoist said and looked for stones in the mountains to carve statues. However, as the years passed, their lives did not get better.

Some people are still persisting, but some have become impatient and feel that they have been deceived and that the Mountain Goddess doesn't care about them at all.

So they smashed the statues to express their anger and unwillingness.

Among these people, Lin Feng is one of them.

Over the years, his health had deteriorated. He had seen many doctors, but none of them could cure his illness. He placed his hope on the mountain goddess and knelt down to worship her for two years, but there was no improvement in his health.

"hateful!"

This year, the plague god appeared and Kuishan Village fell earlier than in the previous life. Hundreds of people in the village fell ill.

"Help, I don't want to die..."

More and more people died, and the scene was bleak everywhere. Zhang Shan just watched coldly. This disaster was destined, and even the original owner could not turn the tide.

Lin Feng felt drowsy and confused, "What's wrong with me?"

He has been an immortal for many years, and his body is no longer a mortal body. Apart from being injured in fighting, it is impossible for him to get sick.

Moreover, he had not felt so weak for a long time. This feeling reminded him of the humiliation he had suffered before embarking on the path of cultivation.

I fell asleep in a daze, and woke up again, and found that I was really reborn.

"Forget it. I won't die. I hope she can come and save me as soon as possible. Since she helped me once, I won't mind her neglecting me. I will leave her body intact in the future."

He waited and waited, but the mountain goddess never came to save him. After being reborn, Lin Feng did not survive the plague and died of illness.

Seeing his body gradually getting colder and finally losing his breath, Lin Feng's face turned black.

"What is that fox doing? Why doesn't it come to save me?"

Lin Feng is an ascended immortal with a very powerful soul. He came to the back mountain to look for Zhang Shan, but in Zhang Shan's eyes, Lin Feng was just a young man who had just started out.

With a wave of his hand, he took back the luck that did not belong to Lin Feng.

When the luck returned to Zhang Shan, there was lightning and thunder in the sky. Without the cover of the secret technique, Lin Feng's secret was exposed. The thunder from the sky descended and directly struck him to pieces.

These thunders seemed to drive away the darkness, and those who were infected with the plague gradually recovered, but too many people died from the plague.

Take Kuishan Village for example. Most of the people died, and only a few were left. But without exception, they were all believers of the Mountain Goddess.

After this incident, those people believed in the Mountain Goddess without a doubt, and Zhang Shan gained a very strong power of faith.

The feedback of the power of faith is only for individuals, not families. It does not mean that you can get whatever you want, but you can only get what the mountain god is willing to give you.

Zhang Shan: "You are free to arrange your life!"

Don’t I know clearly what kind of life is suitable for you?

Starting from Zhang Shan, a complete belief collection system has been established. If you give up on God, God will also give up on you. Even if you are in a desperate situation and give up on yourself, God will not give up on you!
