Ford Tianguan

Chapter 48
"What is this group of people doing? Just passing by, why are you still stopping here, isn't it because you want to do something bad?"

As soon as he focused his eyes, he saw the banner with the three-legged golden toad painted on it, and there were faint fluctuations of divine power on it.

"This filthy aura is the aura of wealth among the aura of wine, sex and wealth. It is not a good thing for a true god of authority like me." Huang Tian was a little apprehensive.

"Could it be that they are here to develop the mountain forest? To mine the spiritual mines in the mountain? To collect mountain goods?" Huang Tian wondered for a moment.

Huang Tian didn't come forward to drive them away, and still hid in the dark to observe.

Then I saw a golden toad jumping from the chariot and horse into the forest, and said to the big bluestone with the big characters "Huang Tianling" written on it, "this mountain god, we are a caravan of merchants, and we are going to pass by." Guibao, I wonder if it is convenient for us to pass by?"

Huang Tian listened, but he still didn't dare to go out, if he lured himself out and then got stuck, the gain would not be worth the loss, he said he was just passing by, right?What if you tell a lie?
Moreover, this golden toad should be in the realm of wandering gods, and his cultivation is still higher than his own. He is full of wealth and can defile the light of the gods.

In case of mastering a metal supernatural power and making a point to become steel, even Huang Tianfu will not be able to escape.

Seeing that there was no response for a long time, Jin Chan said to the merchant, "It should be a god who doesn't like trouble. I read that word, and it should be an earth god. The earth god is always generous and kind. As long as you are polite enough, you should not to blame."

Once the merchant heard that it was not a monster or an evil god, he felt relieved.

Immediately, a tablet was written "The Seat of the Mountain God of Huangtianling", and it was placed under the big bluestone.

Then they took out the tribute, carefully cleaned out a place, put some things on it, lit incense sticks and candles, and offered fruits, desserts and the like.

Huang Tian just said in his heart: "Don't set fire to the mountain, just sit in prison!" Then he heard it clearly, coming from nothingness.

It is the incense and vows produced by these people's sacrifices that contain their prayers.

The content of the prayer is all about the hope that I can pass through this mountain forest safely, I hope that I will not get lost, and I hope that I can reach the next supply point on time.

Huang Tian only found it novel, strictly speaking, this was the first time someone worshiped him.

However, Huang Tian still didn't come out, nor did he want to keep them as his followers.

One is that if one does not follow that path, incense worship is optional, but it can be regarded as the recognition of all living beings, a manifestation of power in one's body, the so-called "fame".

The second is that they themselves carry a God of Wealth, the God of Wealth is the kingly way, and they believe in mountain gods, and it is better to have faith in the God of Wealth.

After the sacrifice was completed, the Golden Toad saw that no god appeared yet, so he said, "Maybe that god is not at home, we have already fulfilled our etiquette, let's go on and go through this forest."

"Yes!"

The chariots and horses continued to walk, and the guards in front took machetes to clear the way and cut off some thorns blocking the way.

Huang Tian didn't want them to destroy every plant and tree in the forest, and really open a road, which would attract people to and fro.

So he cast magic to make the mountains and forests unblocked, without thorns blocking the way, and without snakes and insects biting.

In this way, the machetes of those two people were useless.

After the caravan passed through the forest safely, the golden toad said: "Here you can write down, this god likes peace, and just now secretly sheltered you, it is a response to your request, let us travel through the forest almost half of the time, you can go on in the future There is no need to detour this way.”

The merchant nodded: "I also sensed it, and there is almost no obstacle."

Huang Tian secretly said: "What am I? I'm afraid of trouble, but cause trouble instead. Forget it, wait a few more times to see if this God of Wealth is someone we can make friends with."

After waiting for the caravan to leave completely, Huang Tiancai came out to enjoy the tribute and see what delicious food it was.

But as soon as he showed up, he saw seven or eight little ghosts rushing out to fight for these tributes.

These little ghosts have big heads, small bodies, and black faces. The young ones look like they are only a few months old, and the big ones are less than seven or eight years old.

They usually hide in tree holes and crevices of big rocks, which can be regarded as a shelter, where they can avoid the wind, sun, rain and frost.

What they usually eat is swamp sludge, dead branches and leaves, the excrement of wild animals, and the rotting corpses of dead rats. It is extremely pitiful.

The biggest extra meal is all kinds of bugs, which can suck up their yang energy and vitality.

They couldn't suck the blood of any bigger living beings, and even a wild cat's yang energy could wash them away.

These are the children who died young, they are not eligible to be buried in the ancestral graves, and even the coffin cannot be opened. Many of them only have nicknames, and there is no official name. Therefore, there are no inscriptions, or even the birth register of the land. None are recorded.

It's not that the city god doesn't want to seduce them, it's just that they are children at heart, they like to hide the most, and they can't catch them, and they even keep hiding from the underworld.

And because they died when they were most alive, they often had a lot of obsessions, and they were very nostalgic for their former home, and often wanted to go back and have a look.

Their parents would come to sweep the offerings from time to time in the first two years, bring some tributes, and remember the poor child.

But waiting for the second child, the third child, they have to focus on the living, and the dead children are naturally neglected and gradually forgotten by their biological parents, without any incense.

In this way, there are no tributes during the Cold Food Festival, and no cold clothes during the Cold Clothes Festival.

The original home, because of the existence of door gods or the like, or guarding the land, and the recent inspections by Huang Tian, ​​it is even more impossible to get close to it.

Therefore, these ghost boys can only live in the wild, earn their own living, and are bullied and even killed by other ghosts.

But occasionally there are troublesome times, that is, when children are playing games in the wild, they will join them.

Some who feel jealous will take away their souls and take them with them to wander and play in the wild.

But as long as you summon the soul, call the soul, you can take the soul back.

Huang Tian saw them snatching incense and tribute like wolves and tigers, like starving ghosts, he couldn't help feeling sorry for them.

Among them, those who ate it had brighter complexions and stronger strength, and those who hadn't ate it curled up in a corner and wept, or looked at them helplessly, showing envious expressions.

"These little ghosts are pitiful. I'm not short of a little incense and tribute, so I'll give them to eat."

"It's a pity that I don't have a place for them to live in. My Earth Spirit Treasure Cave is full of earth turbidity. If they get it, it will be even more difficult for them to get rid of the Qing Ling."

"If I send them to the Earth Temple, I'm afraid they'll disperse when they see me. First, they don't trust me, and second, it's hard to catch them. I'm familiar with the Requiem Curse and the Exalting Curse, but they are obsessed with it." No need, you can’t get over it at all, let’s find a way later.”
