Eat the incense of the world, I am actually the underworld

Chapter 98
The setting sun dyes the green waves, and the strong wind blows the hills.

Sitting in front of the Jiuyao Cave, Mo Chuan looked at the sunset in the wilderness, which had a special flavor, but there was a hint of murmur in his heart.

It has been half a night and a day since he sent Monk Deng Cao and Ya San'er there last night, but there is no news at all.

This made Mo Chuan suspect, did those two goblins take the opportunity to escape?

Or was it eaten by a goblin?

It's just looking for a cow, how long will it take?
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

As soon as I thought about it in my heart, a stick of incense came up, and when I looked away, it was the monk Deng Cao's incense offering.

"...Has the cattle become a spirit?"

Hearing Monk Deng Cao's report, Mo Chuan was somewhat surprised.

His heart moved, and his figure disappeared into the cave.

When it reappeared, it was already thousands of miles away in an unknown barren mountain.

Under the setting sun, Monk Dengcao was offering incense with his hands, murmuring.Not far away, an old farm ox with two horns on its head was kneeling and lying on the ground, with Yasaner staring at it.

When Mo Chuan appeared, the old cow was taken aback. If Ya San'er hadn't bared his teeth intimidatingly, he might have gotten up and fled.

"Master Dao, you are here! Look, this is the farm cattle lost by grandma."

When Monk Deng Cao saw Mo Chuan, his face was full of flattery and credit.

At this time, he has recovered his nine-inch appearance, but the energy of performing the technique has been exhausted.

However, his appearance is still that of a boy, but it was permanently changed by Mo Chuan.

At this time, when the old farm ox heard what the monk Deng Cao said, he trembled with fright and begged for mercy repeatedly.

"Master Dao, don't kill me, don't kill me, I have hard work without credit, I have cultivated the land for 13 years, and it can cover this mountain, I, I just want to live..."

"what happened?"

When Mo Chuan heard this, he asked curiously.

"Master Dao, it said that the grandma's son was going to kill it to eat meat. It was afraid, so it took advantage of the night to crush the ox chews and escaped."

Monk Deng Cao explained concisely.

Hearing the words, the old farmer also pretended to be pitiful and begged for mercy, and finally made Mo Chuan understand the cause and effect.

It turned out that this farming ox also had a great opportunity. About seven or eight years ago, he ate a spiritual grass in the mountains in a daze, and gradually gave birth to spiritual wisdom.

The goblin was born for the first time, and she didn't care about the world.

When the old farm cow was ignorant, he followed his instinct and stayed at the old woman's house.

Although it is necessary to plow and work every day, there are also people serving food and lodging, which is not too hard.

Seven or eight years have passed.

Until a while ago, the old woman's son yelled that the cow was old, and before it was old enough to lose its meat, he quickly killed it and ate the meat, or sold it for money.

Ants are greedy for life, let alone farming cattle?

When the old cattle heard this, how could there be any reason to stay?Quickly took advantage of the night and fled.

Because of his timid nature, he didn't stop when he escaped, and ran straight into the mountains.

Thanks to Yasan'er's good nose, otherwise he might not be able to find it.

Mo Chuan shook his head in his heart after hearing the cause and effect.

This whole thing...is hard to break!

The old farm cattle are said to be demons, but in essence they are still the property of the old woman's family. If they are killed, they will be sold.

But from the perspective of an old farming ox, there is nothing wrong with running away?
After all, who would risk their life?
As his thoughts flickered, Mo Chuan asked, "Do you have a name?"

When Monk Deng Cao saw Mo Chuan asking such a question, his heart skipped a beat. Well, once the name is asked, this is no longer a beast.

The old cow said in a daze, "Grandma called me Dajiao."

"Pindao is short of a mount, would you like to save some leg strength for the poor?"

"This..." The old farm cow showed hesitation, obviously no longer trusting humans.

"Forget it, let's go, don't hurt anyone in the future!"

Mo Chuan shook his head, snapped a piece of silver to Monk Dengcao:
"Go and bury this piece of silver under the cowshed, and say that the cow has become fine, and let it live. This piece of silver is a reward from the big horn, and let them stop looking for it."

Monk Deng Cao took the silver and asked curiously, "Master Dao, this silver is yours...why do you say it's from an old cow...with a big horn?"

Mo Chuan said: "Don't worry about scarcity but inequality. If the villagers know that the money is poor, the incense in that earth temple will be destroyed."

Monk Deng Cao looked thoughtful when he heard the words.

"Go back quickly."

After Mo Chuan finished speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared.

"I, can I go?"

Seeing Mo Chuan leave, the old farmer hurriedly stammered and asked, but looked at Ya San'er.

"let's go!"

Ya San'er put away his murderous intentions, and his attitude became much more amiable.

Hearing the words, the old farm cow quickly stepped forward and ran into the bushes, feeling very lucky to have escaped with his life.

……

Let's say that after Monk Dengcao took the money, he followed Mo Chuan's instructions and buried it under the cowshed. Then he knocked on the chaimen of the old woman's house and told him about repaying the favor with the cattle.

The old woman's family was naturally skeptical when they heard the words.

However, it was about money, no matter how mysterious it was, it had to be confirmed.

Taking advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun, the family really found excavation marks under the hay in the cowshed. When they dug it up, they found that there was really money.

It's not humane to understand the complicated emotions in it for a while.

When it was getting dark, the old woman slapped her thighs, asked for incense, and rushed to the deserted earth temple at the entrance of the village to offer incense and fulfill her vows.

The villagers were very surprised when they saw this, and they stopped to inquire one after another.

He also heard that there was a fairy boy in the Earth Temple responding, and everyone's thoughts suddenly became active.

If this land temple is so effective, why don't we pray for peace too?
Anyway, a few sticks of incense are worthless.

For a time, in front of the half-person-high Earth Temple, incense was lingering like clouds, and the sky was blackened.

It's a pity that no fairy boy responded this time.

On the other hand, the two seriously ill villagers felt a lot more relaxed after worshiping, and even slept soundly at night.

This made everyone believe more and more that a true God might have come to the Earth Temple, and many villagers even planned to renovate the Earth Temple so that the True God could live more comfortably!

'Start with another incense stick! '

Inside the Jiuyao Cave, Mo Chuan felt relieved when he looked at the villagers worshiping in front of the Earth Temple.

The incense sticks offered by these villagers are numerous and miscellaneous, and the sum of ten people is not as good as the old woman's one.

But fortunately, most of these incense sticks do not require repayment.

It belongs to passive income, such as Fuluan Temple in Qingshui County, Yunji Temple in Xishan City...etc.

Of course, if it is completely ignored, it may not be long before the Earth Temple will be abandoned again.

However, having said that, it doesn't have to be a wish.

Mo Chuan only needs to guarantee "miracles" every now and then, and the witch of the Xiqiong Mountains is the best example of this.

Coincidentally, he holds the "Fei Mou" in his hand, which has the ability to avoid epidemics.

Treating some diseases is easy.

If you meet a pious incense holder, you can treat it casually. It doesn't take much effort, but it is enough to ensure that the incense will not fade!
'Well, no, it's not just incense...'

Suddenly, Mo Chuan felt a sense of mystery that was both familiar and unfamiliar floating in his heart.

He frowned for a while, then slapped his thigh suddenly.

Isn't this the feeling that the people of Shoushan Town canonized Lei Jun?

'That's right, this is the Temple of the Earth. The villagers worship the land, and their words contain prophecy. If it continues like this, I am afraid that it will not be long before I will be able to occupy the land position of this village. '

Mo Chuan's thoughts flickered, he called out Monk Dengcao, and asked the name of the village.

The answer was: He Yuan.

"The land of Heyuan, Lord Lei of Shoushan Mountain... is a bit interesting. I don't know if this land of Kyushu can be connected into one piece in the long run?" '

"Flickering—"

A flutter of birds' wings brought Mo Chuan's attention back to reality.

Not long after, a familiar voice came from outside the cave.

"Little God Shengqu, dare to pay respects to Immortal Elder Mingchen."
