Liaozhai: A Poor Monk Transcends to Immortal

Chapter 91 Mountain God
It was a sunny day, a rare good weather after the storm.

Putting down the last scripture in his hand, Xu Zisu slowly stood up. The Xuan Mizhu was flowing in his mind. Under the influence of the Buddha's accumulation, the multicolored Xuan Mizhu was suddenly enveloped in a golden light.

The power of divine consciousness is also a bit stronger than before.

After regaining consciousness, there was a loud noise in my ears.

Is there anyone in the temple?

Ever since he handed those monks over to the Demon Suppression Division, there has been no more monks in Dingyuan Temple. Why are there still sounds coming from him now?
Then he went downstairs,
In the Zen room, dozens of ragged figures were crowded together, and there was a pot of charcoal fire burning in the room.

Looking at these beggars from a distance, Xu Zisu shook his head helplessly and sighed after a long time. Even in troubled times, beggars are still prevalent, let alone a world like this.Moreover, he is about to leave. If the temple can enable these people to survive this cold winter safely, it can be regarded as a merit of Buddhism.

The next day, after sealing the Sutra Tower, he quietly left Dingyuan Temple.
-
Chaimen smelled the bark of the dog, and the snowy night returned to others.

Accompanied by gusts of cold wind, a crisp knock on the door sounded.

The dogs in the courtyard looked at the closed door and kept barking.

"Little master, wait a moment. Maybe my son who went up the mountain is back."

Hearing the knock on the door, the woman withdrew her hands from the brazier, rubbed her hands together, and walked towards the courtyard.The door of the house was opened, and the bitter cold wind blew in, and the flame in the basin could not help but weaken a bit.

"What are you calling, don't you know who you are?"

The woman muttered something and then hurriedly opened the courtyard door.

"Squeak!"

"Tiger."

"Mother, my son is back."

"Come inside quickly. It's very cold outside."

As the woman spoke, she wanted to take her son's hand, but the man invisibly avoided her.

The woman's figure froze slightly, but she didn't care. Instead, the dog located in the corner of the courtyard grinned and roared.The man glanced over and saw that the black dog in the yard seemed to be frightened, wagging its tail and getting into its kennel.

Then, he followed the woman into the house.

"Amitabha, the young monk has seen the donor."

The man entered the house and saw that there was only one person in the house. He couldn't help but be startled, and then he smiled and nodded towards Xu Zisu.

"Son, this little master missed Sutou and will stay here tonight."

"As long as mom agrees."

The woman picked up the brazier, and the fire suddenly increased. Then she pulled over a wooden stake. In the mountainous countryside where carpenters are hard to find, this is a wooden stool.

"Son, you must be cold. Take off your clothes quickly to keep yourself warm."

Looking at the burning fire pot, the man frowned slightly, then shook his head: "Mom, I'm not cold."

After saying that, he found a corner and sat down.

Seeing that his son was looking very strange today, he just thought he was too tired. He immediately took the earthen pot on the side and poured some wild vegetable soup into it.

"Son, Mommy will heat you some soup to warm yourself up."

There was a trace of impatience on the man's face, and he said irritably: "Mom, you should rest for a while, I'm not hungry."

While holding up the fire frame, the woman asked with concern: "Why aren't you hungry? I've been up in the mountains for a day, and I'm afraid I'll freeze."

Without listening to the man's words, he directly put the earthen pot on the fire.

Not long after, a trace of hot steam came out of the earthen pot, and then there was a gurgling boiling sound.

Seeing this, the woman hurriedly lifted the earthen jar down, perhaps it was too hot to handle, she couldn't help but gasped, and dropped the earthen jar to the ground.

Seeing this, the man quickly stood up and came over, held the woman's hand and blew on her.

The red and swollen hands that had been scalded were suddenly covered with a layer of frost.

The man seemed to realize something and hurriedly let go of the woman's hand, then walked aside and sat down silently.The woman covered her hands and was stunned for a while. After a while, two big drops of turbid tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes.

"Son!"

Then, a burst of crying interrupted the silent night, echoing the cold wind outside the door.

After a long time, the man stood up slowly: "Mom, Lord Mountain God, please say goodbye to me. You will be alone in the future, so you must take care of yourself."

After saying that, she walked out of the door leisurely. Although the crying woman didn't want to do anything, she could only watch her son disappear into the wind and snow.

The overly sad woman did not notice at all that the young master who had stayed overnight had disappeared at some point.

Facing the wind and snow, the man drifted straight up the mountain.

In the mountains and old forests, a dilapidated temple stood quietly, covered with heavy snow, and its outline could be vaguely seen. Then the man entered the temple and never came out.

Looking at the mountain temple in the mountains and forests, Xu Zisu was not surprised. Since ancient times, villages with a mountain to rely on for food would build a mountain temple in the mountains and forests to seek blessings. However, this one seemed a little different.

Walking through the snow, we approached the temple and slowly opened the temple door.

Ashes fell for a while, and it was obvious that no one had come to worship for a long time.

The mountain temple is very narrow and can only accommodate three or five people. There is a mountain god enshrined at the top, along with two attendant gods.

The very ordinary clay body of the mountain god shone with divine light in Xu Zisu's eyes. The attendant god on one side also shone with wisdom, but the attendant god on the other side was unremarkable.

There is only Shenguang, there is no heel, and he is the righteous god in the mountains!
Since he came down from the mountain, he has seen countless temples, but not many of them have gods. The only one that seems to have a god is the Jin'an Temple.

Unexpectedly, there is a god in this barren mountain.

"Little monk Pudu, I have seen the mountain master."

After the words fell, the mountain god's mud body suddenly flashed with divine light, and then a middle-aged man in brocade robes appeared, not like a god, but like a rich man.

"I'm polite."

Sure enough, the mountain god who appeared was full of divinity.

Monks and demons can only use incense to cultivate, but they can only turn into mana, and cannot condense divine power. Only with a god position can they condense incense and call themselves gods.

"The young monk is confused. I wonder if Shanzun can solve it?"

"Please tell me, little master."

"There is no god in the world, how did the mountain master get the status of god?"

"Young Master, I guess you are not from my Yuhua Mansion."

"The young monk has arrived from Songjian Mansion."

Hearing this, the mountain god nodded: "My Yuhua Mansion, Yi Ming Shenjun, has been awarded the Book of Gods, so my Yuhua Mansion has a mountain god, an earth god, and a water god to protect all people."

Xu Zisu frowned slightly: "When did this happen?"

"It's been half a year. I am a good man in Qingling County. I am so valued by the Lord God that I can be crowned the God of this mountain."

Consecrated to the position of god?

I still remember that in the Mountain Lingkou of Jiuyao Mountain, there was a God who was conferred by the Emperor of Heaven 5000 years ago. I didn’t expect that there is a king who was conferred the status of a god now. I just don’t know whether this God is a human being or an alien.

If it's a human being, that's fine, but if it's a different species, becoming a god is not a good thing!

"Thank you Shanzun for clarifying my doubts."

"I don't know the Orion who just happened before?"

"This boy was once polite to me, but something unexpected happened yesterday, so I kept him by my side as a servant."

Xu Zisu nodded, it was just a human soul and he didn't care much.
