After the divorce, I became a mountain god
Chapter 355 Green Valley
Xu Boan was still showing these little people knowledge about traffic safety. When he sensed the call, he didn't care about anything else. Popularizing safety knowledge to the little people is important, but opening up new bases is also very important. Otherwise, if they missed it once, it would be hard to say whether they could activate it next time!
I have always been a person with aspirations. The more bases we have, the better. Besides, the little people are enjoying watching the videos, so let them watch them for now. Just treat it as a summer entertainment and watching a movie. It won't be a big deal anyway.
Although the summoning sensation this time was very weak, it was estimated to be a small temple gate.
Normally speaking, although such a small place may receive incense and prayers, it will definitely not be as much as a large temple.
However, based on the principle that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, Xu Boan quickly came to the mountain temple out of curiosity.
In the main hall of the mountain temple, there were indeed two bubbles hanging in the air. Xu Boan looked at the smaller bubble, and after careful examination, he concluded that the content in the bubble was indeed a scene he had never seen before.
Looking closely, the place was covered in cobwebs, the doors and windows were broken, and there was a pattern of people bustling around in front of you.
The scene in the bubble looks like a place surrounded by mountains, with an open space in the middle, and some little people are praying.
At that moment, Xu Boan's consciousness flashed, and he came to a statue... Oh my god, where is the statue! Xu Boan had just arrived and had not noticed where he was, but he felt a sense of suffocation very intuitively.
This is unlike the several mountain temples Xu Boan had visited before. Not only is the space large, but the statues are also tall and mighty. It looks very majestic and gives people a great sense of deterrence.
At the moment, this place seems to be just a simple small house, as if it was barely built up with stones in the early years. The place where the statue is placed is only... only a pile of boulders, with the words "Grandpa Mountain God, Grandma Mountain God" written crookedly in front.
Wow, they even saved the trouble of using statues of gods and replaced them directly with piles of stones. How economical!
Even the statues of the gods are left, so you can imagine the size and scale of the temple!
This place is just like a simple small pavilion, without even an inner hall or courtyard wall. It looks exactly like a small temple at the entrance of a village!
The so-called small roof can only simply cover the statue and the small incense burner. If people want to gather here, they have to stand in the open space in front.
Xu Boan looked around and saw dozens of little people wearing ethnic minority costumes, neatly arranged in a square shape, all kneeling.
The leading man was a tall, skinny and dark-skinned young man, the result of long-term outdoor labor. He wore a hand-woven hat on his head with a very wide brim to block the strong sunlight, wind and rain in the grassland area.
His hair was thick and curly, like black flames dancing on his head. He tied it casually behind his head, looking free and uninhibited.
His beard was like a black waterfall, extending from his chin to his neck, adding a bit of mystery to him.
He was wearing a yellowish white robe that looked like it was made of hand-woven wool. The collar and cuffs of the robe were embroidered with exquisite and strange patterns.
These patterns are not only brightly colored but also have very smooth lines, full of the unique charm of national culture.
He also wore a wide belt around his waist, with copper buckle-like decorations on it, which not only served as a decoration, but also highlighted his rough and heroic temperament.
He was wearing homemade sheepskin boots, which were waterproof and durable, making them suitable for walking in the mountains.
However, when Xu Bo'an looked carefully, he found that only the leader-like man standing in front had relatively complete clothes and shoes.
The people standing behind the man were also dressed similarly to the leader.
But most of them were skinny and some even wore straw sandals or went barefoot. They looked nothing like the sturdy man in the lead.
Look into the distance again, there is an endless green plain!
Xu Bo'an was quite surprised.
Hey, what's going on? This place looks like a grassland. Aren't we mountain gods? This grassland must be a land temple!
However, this grassland was different from the grasslands Xu Boan had seen in the past. In Xu Boan's impression, the grassland was an ocean of green grass and trees, with horses galloping freely in the green ocean.
But the grassland in front of me was a completely different scene. The green ocean in the distance had turned into a withered yellow, and the sparse sheep and horses looked listless.
After a careful look, Xu Boan guessed that this person should be a bit like the backward people living in the mountains.
Just as Xu Bo'an was looking around, a voice rang out.
“Grandpa Mountain God, the people of Cuiyun Mountain suffered from an earthquake two years ago. The water veins were broken due to the abnormality of heaven and earth. In recent days, we have also encountered drought. The grass has died and the livestock have no grass to eat, resulting in the death of some livestock.
Now people in the whole village are either starving or seriously ill. Some elderly people and very young children are dying due to their poor resistance, and some have even starved to death or died of illness.
Now everyone in the village who can move is here. When we were exchanging goods, we heard that a mountain god appeared in our Yushan area. We are really at our wits' end, so we thought of trying our luck and begging the mountain god to save us."
Xu Boan was quite surprised to hear the words of the leader.
How was he able to activate the mountain temple?
Originally in Hongya Village, Xu Boan had always believed that Wang Guifen was able to have such ability because she was his believer.
However, Xu Bo'an was surprised by Duan Xiaoshan's call from the Duan family not long ago.
Now, the people in this ancient village that looks like a tribe can actually summon me and communicate with me. What is the reason for this?
As the man finished speaking, the people behind him also started shouting, "Please, Mountain God, save us too." Then there was a burst of kowtows.
Xu Boan saw it all, and although he didn't understand the reason, he immediately felt a sense of responsibility and mission to save the people.
If an official does not serve the people, he might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.
It’s the same when you’re a mountain god!
Can not
Although Xu Boan felt very sympathetic after hearing about the sufferings of these people caused by natural disasters, he, who was worshipped as the mountain god, still sorted out his emotions before majestically saying, "Where... is this place?"
When Xu Bo'an's voice was heard, the people kneeling on the ground opened their eyes as wide as copper bells and opened their mouths as wide as if they could swallow a whole egg. They were stunned. This expression lasted for dozens of seconds.
Then they reacted, and it seemed as if a brilliant light broke through the air, instantly changing the originally sad and gloomy faces of the people who were kneeling at this time.
There was a surprise and excited smile on his face, and tears were flowing in his eyes, tears of excitement.
The leading man exclaimed, "Did you hear it? Did you hear it? The Mountain God has appeared. The Mountain God has really appeared?"
Then he kowtowed and said, "Grandpa Mountain God, this is the territory of Cuiyun Mountain."
When Xu Bo'an heard this unfamiliar name, he asked in confusion: "Cuiyun Mountain? Is Cuiyun Mountain far from Yu Mountain and Shanyang County?" Hearing the question from the mountain god, the leader showed joy and excitement on his face, as if he had met a long-lost relative.
He took a deep breath, calmed his inner excitement, and began to tell the story: "You are really the God of Yushan Mountain. It's great. It's really you! Cuiyun Mountain is also part of the Yushan Mountain Range and one of the 32 peaks of Yushan Mountain. The place we are in is called Cui Valley, which is a valley bottom. In the early years, there was an artificial lake gushing out of groundwater. The climate was good, the harvest was abundant, there were herds of cattle and sheep, and there was no need to pay taxes. Everyone lived a very contented life.
But this drought is too severe. The fields here have long been cracked, the rivers have dried up, and even the livestock can hardly survive. People have no water to drink and no food to eat, and their lives have fallen into despair. We once sent people out of the mountains to seek help, but the journey was long and we encountered bandits. In recent days, we have heard that the rebels outside are causing chaos, so our people have not been able to get out smoothly. "
"Oh? Why don't you have to pay taxes?" Xu Bo'an asked curiously.
The man proudly introduced: "Our Cuiyun Mountain is located at the junction of Shanyang County and Lingyang County. It is under the jurisdiction of different government offices. Because the location is remote and deep in the mountains, the path is quite inconvenient to walk on, so the officials are too lazy to come."
After hearing the man's introduction, Xu Bo'an realized that this place was actually a lawless area. No wonder no one came to collect taxes!
Moreover, it is obvious that these people are not good people. In all likelihood, they were a group of good fighters before the disaster struck.
Those temporary runners in the county government are willing to risk their lives to fight with these people. They are really courting their own death!
Therefore, this place does not need to pay taxes, which is very reasonable!
Xu Boan asked again: "You just said that when you were exchanging goods, you heard that a mountain god appeared in the Yushan area! Who told you this?"
The man hurriedly said, "To answer the Mountain God, I don't know his name, but I heard his companions call him Yan Bazong, so he must be an official."
Strict control?
Isn’t this the name of the former Shanyang Order Yan Shouyi?
Wasn't he going to Qingmu Mansion to take up his post? Why hasn't he left Yushan in these few days?
And what is the IQ of the servants who follow him? It has been made clear that they are going to be promoted, but you are still calling them by their old job titles when they were at a lower level. You really don't know how to chat!
If this kind of person is put in the workplace, he won't even know what's going on when he's being bullied!
Xu Boan said in a deep voice: "When did this person exchange things with you!"
The man replied, "Not long ago, Grandpa Mountain God, do you know this Chief Yan?"
Xu Bo'an did not answer the man's question, but instead asked: "What did you exchange? What did you exchange for?"
The man hurriedly said, "Originally we planned to exchange some water, rice, flour and other food, but the other party refused to exchange water with us. They said they didn't have enough water, so we only got some simple food!"
As he spoke, the man spread out some bags beside him, and Xu Boan saw some grains that looked red like sorghum.
Although Xu Boan didn't know what these were, there was no doubt that they were all coarse grains.
In the real world where Xu Boan lives, coarse grains are good things.
But in this barren and backward place, people still want to eat some fine grains. As for these coarse grains, people just have no choice but to choose to eat them.
Xu Bo'an asked again: "Then how did you know the news of the mountain god's appearance from him?"
The man said with emotion: "This official saw our miserable state and wanted to help us, but he said that he was powerless for the time being and had no good solution.
However, he knew that in some villages in Shanyang County, the mountain god had appeared. Under the care of the mountain god, the villages had no worries about food and drink, and no worries about disasters. It was like a paradise on earth!
He asked us to try to think of a solution, and gave us some incense sticks for us to burn to honor the Mountain God. Because the official was in a hurry, he left at full speed. We didn't expect that we would be so lucky to meet you, the Mountain God!"
Xu Boan nodded slightly. Yan Shouyi was really a warm-hearted and kind-hearted person.
It is said that a kind person cannot command an army, a righteous person cannot accumulate wealth, a benevolent person cannot engage in politics, and a good person cannot do business. Yan Shouyi does not fall into the cliché at all!
Even the need to burn incense was taken into consideration. It was simply feeding these people.
He strictly abides by the principle of being kind-hearted, and our Lao Xu is not without it.
Xu Boan immediately waved his hand, and a cool breeze blew past, bringing a breath of fresh air to the hot and dry venue. Those who were kneeling here with chapped lips and pale faces suddenly felt a comfortable breeze coming, and they felt much better.
Xu Boan did not waste any more words. He immediately returned to the real world and took out a piece of hand-torn bread. Then he opened the package, twisted the hand-torn bread a few times with both hands, and tore the bread into pieces. Then he teleported it through the mountain temple and brought food to the people in Cui Valley.
As soon as Xu Bo'an's hand-torn bread appeared, many people moved their noses, obviously having smelled the fragrance of the bread.
"What is this? What's that smell? It smells good!"
"It smells so good, I've never smelled anything so sweet and delicious."
"Me too, where does this smell come from?"
"Stupid, didn't you hear what the Mountain God said? This delicious food must be a gift from the Mountain God."
"Stop talking nonsense and keep your heads down. If you raise your head and talk nonsense, it will be disrespectful to the gods!"
The leading man snorted, then kowtowed three times and said, "Cui Gu people, thank you, Grandpa Mountain God, for giving us food and bringing us new life!"
Then he inserted a lit incense stick into the small incense burner.
In an instant, Xu Boan felt a sense of comfort and was stunned.
So many incense sticks and wishes? (End of this chapter)
