mountain ghost

Chapter 36
Although the tangerine peel was used as a pretext for plundering goods, but the superficial skills were still well done.

In the carry-on cargo stretcher, apart from some animal skins just received, there are also many daily necessities and odd knacks, but now that his soul has been hooked to the Nether Yin Division, Lu Chen accepts these things without hesitation.

"Soap root powder for washing clothes, this thing is useless to me... Bone meal, who would use this to brush teeth..."

"These vegetable seeds can be kept, and they will be planted in the yard later, and they will try something new once in a while. Silk thread, I found it, and it is quite strong. It can be used to replace fishing thread, embroidery needles for sewing clothes, and it is not at all used to make handmade fishhooks." question……"

Lu Chen quickly found what he needed from those goods.

Then he mobilized his spiritual power, his fingers were like a red-hot soldering iron, he bent the embroidery needle into a hook, his fingertips condensed a sharp point, cut out a small barb, and a simple fishhook was made.

Then I went to the bayberry tree next to it. At this time, the fruit on the tree had been eaten up by the birds, and only the lush branches were left. I broke off a soft and slender branch, trimmed it slightly, and then installed the hook and fishing line. .

Such a simple handmade fishing rod has been made.

"My first shot in this world, Impossible Air Force!"

Lu Chen dug out half an earthworm and used it as bait, then swung his club with confidence.

……

At the same time, at the foot of Taihang Mountain, Qinghua Village.

Cuiniang took the talisman bestowed by Lu Chen, and she went down the mountain safely and returned to the village.

Knowing that she had been missing for several days, the old father and the villagers at home thought that something had happened long ago, but they were so surprised to see her return safely, they came to visit one after another, asking questions incessantly.

Cuiniang didn't hide anything.

Because after her disappearance, the village chief's grandfather was so anxious that he had already reported it to the government. Now that he came back by himself, of course he needed a reasonable explanation.

She told how she was stunned by the traveling merchant, how she was included in the picture scroll, brought to the mountain, and rescued by a gentleman in the temple. Hidden.

"That itinerant businessman, I thought he was a mischievous one before, but I didn't expect him to be a bad bastard!"

"It's a good thing that Cui Niang is lucky this time, otherwise, if she is really taken away, it will be troublesome."

"It's terrifying to be able to put people into paintings. I'm afraid it's not the means of monsters. Cui Niang, is the gentleman in the temple you mentioned true or false? He can actually deal with such villains?"

"Yes, I remember that there is only one mountain temple in the mountain, but it has not been enshrined for many years. It has long been dilapidated, so there is no one living there, right? Cui Niang, tell me, what is the name of that gentleman? , if you are really an expert, we might as well pay a visit and thank you."

A group of villagers asked curiously.

Only then did Cuiniang realize that she had left in such a hurry that she forgot to ask for the name of the husband, so she faltered for a while, her face flushed.

Seeing this, the other villagers couldn't help but become suspicious.

"What Cuiniang said is true. In that mountain temple, there is indeed an unworldly expert named Lu. I was lucky enough to meet him."

At this moment, someone in the crowd spoke.

When everyone heard the rumors, they all followed the reputation. It was a middle-aged Orion with a strong body. It was Zhang Orion who led Lin Xiaofan into the mountain that day. His name was Zhang Dali, and he was also from Qinghua Village.

"Old Zhang, what you said is true?"

"Of course it's true. The last time I led the way into the mountain for Mr. Lin from Taiyuan Mansion, I encountered many monsters and almost died. It was all thanks to Mr. Lu who rescued him. He is the priest of the mountain temple, but I I heard a monster call him the mansion..."

Zhang Dali said seriously.

Before he went down the mountain, he didn't tell these things, mainly to avoid unnecessary trouble, and now seeing Cui Niang being questioned by everyone, he opened his mouth to prove for her.

After all, this matter is related to the girl's innocence. If it is not convincing, who knows how other people will chew their tongues behind their backs. A big girl with yellow flowers will not be able to talk about her husband's family in the future.

"Miaozhu from the mountain temple? It turns out that there are really high-level people in the mountains!"

Zhang Liehu seems to have a small reputation in the village, and most of the others believed what he said.

But some old people couldn't help but change their faces when they heard the title Fujun.

"Dali, are you really sure that there are monsters calling that gentleman like that?"

"Yeah, I can hear you clearly."

Zhang Dali didn't understand the meaning of the title Fujun at all, he just thought it was some kind of respectful title from the big demon, just like they called the county magistrate Lord.

"You young children, before the Taihang Mountains, there really were mountain gods. The name of the mansion is a respectful title for the main god of one side. If this is the case, the extraterrestrial master you are talking about is probably..."

When the old village chief said this, he seemed afraid to continue.

When everyone heard this, their faces changed drastically.

Could it be that the mountain god really appeared?
"Regardless of whether it is true or not, this expert saved Cuiniang, he is kind to us, and we should show it out of emotion and reason."

The old village chief said so.

When everyone heard the words, they all nodded in agreement.

But how to repay them, they can't think of it. After all, they are all poor people, and they don't have much gold, silver and property.

At this time, Zhang Dali said: "I have been to the temple before, it has been in disrepair for a long time, dilapidated, and even the statues in the temple are gone. It is very inconvenient for Mr. Lu to live there. If we can find a way to go up the mountain , rebuilding the temple is considered a reward, right?"

"Yes, our village depends on the mountains to survive, so there is a tradition of offering sacrifices to the mountain gods for generations. In recent years, because of the frequent turmoil in the mountains, we dare not trespass, so that the temples in the mountains are cut off. If we can take this opportunity, restore The temple, renewing the incense, may also be a good thing with immeasurable merit."

The old village head nodded in agreement.

But soon there was another problem.

"However, there are many spirits and monsters in the mountains. Usually, hunters must be cautious when entering the mountains. If they enter the mountains to build temples, they will definitely need to mobilize a lot of manpower. If they encounter any danger at that time, I'm afraid..."

This is also something that other villagers are worried about. Not everyone dares to enter the mountain at will.

After all, they do know that there are spirits and monsters in the mountains.

"You don't have to worry about this. When I went down the mountain, that Mr. Lu gave me a talisman, saying that with it, I would be safe. I did not encounter any danger along the way."

At this time, Cui Niang took out the piece of cloth.

Everyone looked carefully, but they couldn't see any mystery, but thinking that Cui Niang, a weak woman, could return from the mountain without incident, it must be for protection. If everyone acts together, there is no need for this symbol to protect her scared.

"In this way, the safety issues and manpower issues are all solved. But rebuilding the temple, these alone are not enough. The wood can be obtained locally, but other materials need to be purchased with money, and the statues are rebuilt. Our village How much money do you have?"

The old village chief asked again.

Everyone is distressed, they live in the mountains, they can barely eat, and they have to pay taxes every year, so how much spare money do they have in their hands.

When Zhang Dali heard the words, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Don't worry, the village chief. I have thought of someone. He must be willing to contribute money to rebuild the temple."

The person he was talking about was naturally the young master of the Lin family who spent money like water.

Thinking of Lin Xiaofan, ever since he met Mr. Lu that day, he has been thinking about it, several times he wanted to bring rich gifts into the mountain to meet him again, but he was afraid of encountering monsters, moreover, he would not have a suitable opportunity to show his hospitality, and he was afraid of being disgusted by Mr. Lu.

So very distressed.

This time, the villagers of Qinghua Village volunteered to rebuild the temple in order to repay their kindness, which is a good thing, Mr. Lin will definitely be willing to help.

They contribute, and Mr. Lin contributes money.

If Mr. Lu can be favored, Mr. Lin may have the opportunity to worship in the fairy gate. At that time, he will not only repay his kindness, but also get some rewards. Why not do it?
