Cultivation of Immortals Begins with Drilling Wood To Make Fire

  Chapter 10 [The Mountain God Meeting in front of the Mountain God Temple]

  Curiosity in his heart, Fang Chang changed direction and walked over to check.

   It is not difficult to walk to the small temple, because under the cover of weeds, there is a small path leading down the mountain, which can be regarded as a little crowded, and the path goes straight to the temple gate.

This building is very short, built of bricks, only half a person high, half a foot deep from front to back, and three words "Mountain Temple" written on the lintel with no artistic sense. With five cinnabar characters "Yunzhongshan Mountain God."

  The terrain of the small temple is not high, and there are signs of erosion around it, but the mountain temple itself has not been affected by the flood.

  It was very deserted, with no offerings, no incense, and no temple blessings—this kind of small temple simply couldn’t hold temple blessings. Judging from the traces, no one has been here for at least half a year.

  Fang Chang is a practitioner, and he is not in the same way as these righteous gods on the ground, but he still respects these gods who maintain the order of heaven and earth.

  He folded thin pine branches for incense, used mana to ignite it, stepped forward to insert the half-empty incense burner, and then bowed his hands in salute.

  The movement above cannot be hidden from the mountain god.

  When Fang Chang offered incense, the mountain **** who received a large amount of incense knew it, and then the mountain **** who lived in the mansion suddenly discovered that it turned out to be the practitioner he met last time.

   Is this coming to you?

   I was afraid.

  The mountain **** wanted to hide in the depths of Yunzhong Mountain, but he was reluctant to give up the mansion that had been in operation for many years and the fundamental temple.

  Still struggling, he felt that the people above had paid homage, turned his head and wanted to leave, gritted his teeth, the mountain **** stopped the crutch in his hand, appeared at the gate of the small temple, and shouted at Fang Chang who was turning to leave:

   "Please stop!"

  Fang Chang turned his head and saw the mountain **** appearing, so he stopped and turned his head to salute: "It turns out that the owner of this mountain is in front of you. I'm being rude."

   "Don't dare dare", the mountain **** quickly returned the salute, and said respectfully: "I am taking this position to manage this cloud mountain on behalf of heaven and earth. I don't own this mountain, and I dare not call it the owner of this mountain."

   "My surname is Zhang, you can call me Zhang Mountain God, or Yunzhong Mountain Mountain God. The small temple has limited space and poor conditions, and it is difficult to entertain everyone. I hope Haihan."

  Seeing that the mountain **** was well-mannered, Fang Chang smiled and said, "I don't know if Zhang Shanshen appeared to meet you. What's the matter?"

The mountain god, who was still worried in his heart, was determined to see Fang Chang treat others with gentleness and courtesy. He might be a man of high morals, so he explained the reason: "During the flood a few days ago, I was patrolling the mountains. I once saw the gods rescue animals in the flood, and I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of the creatures in the mountains."

   "Don't dare." Fang Chang felt a little ashamed, because he knew that he might start eating those mountain creatures at some point—probably after the pottery was fired.

  He continued to say to the mountain god: "I will devote myself to Yunzhongshan and practice here, and there will be a lot of troubles in the future. And the food and materials needed must be obtained from the products in Yunzhongshan. I also hope Zhangshan God Haihan."

   Of course the mountain **** dared not say anything, and he didn't care about the other party's use of the mountain's materials. What's more, compared with the consumed ones, the fact that there were more immortals in the Yunzhong mountain was the biggest gain this time.

  Even if it doesn't bring any benefits, you can still have someone to communicate with like now, and resolve the loneliness that has been going on for hundreds of years.

  When Fang Chang mentioned diet, the mountain **** knew it well. He knew that not all immortals would choose the method of eating wind and drinking dew.

So the mountain **** cupped his hands again and said: "Please use it as you please, I am just taking care of this place. There is no mountain, let alone the vegetation in the mountains. As long as you don't abuse it or destroy it at will, it will not violate your duty. No Do you know what the Shangxian is called?"

   "Long below."

   "Fang Shangxian is face to face, the little **** is polite."

  The mountain **** gave Fang Chang to the big rock under the shade of the tree next to him, and took out chestnut and pine nuts to treat him, and the two sides had a happy chat.

  Since entering the practice, he is not considered a monster. This is the first time Fang Chang has come into contact with extraordinary people, so he is naturally full of curiosity. And the mountain **** was sealed here by the county magistrate for hundreds of years, and also held back for hundreds of years. Due to his duties, he couldn't visit other gods around him.

  Therefore, both parties have gained a lot from this exchange.

  Especially the mountain **** of Yunzhongshan, he did not expect Fang Chang to have an extremely subtle understanding of the Dao, which was quite rewarding. Although righteous gods such as mountain gods, land city gods, and the like do not take the path of cultivation, these understandings are still of great benefit to them.

   As a result, the mountain **** also respected Fang Chang more, and the "Shangxian" shouted more smoothly.

   During the chat, Fang Chang asked: "I don't know if the mountain village under Yunzhong Mountain is under the jurisdiction of Zhang Mountain God?"

"No." Yunzhongshan Mountain God shook his head, "All the villages under the mountain are under the jurisdiction of Sifang Land, except for Linxi Village, which was allocated to the jurisdiction of Yunzhongshan Mountain God because it is in the valley. Why is it not available? Kao, this happened a few years ago, I don’t know.”

   "Oh? How long has Zhang Shanshen been here?"

"In 471 years, there was a county magistrate Zheng at the foot of the mountain. He had a dream before the previous mountain **** left office, so he selected a virtuous person from the past. It has been nearly five hundred years since then." The mountain myth is full of sighs about the years.

  The official seal is very simple. It only needs to paste a notice and repair the temple where the mountain **** is. These notices are useful because they are useful to the common people, and the more people who know about them, the more they will be recognized by heaven and earth.

  If the former mountain **** did not entrust his dream when he left office, after a long time, or the people spontaneously choose the mountain god, or the rules of heaven and earth automatically choose the mountain **** to take the position, there will be no vacancy here.

   "I don't know if there is something wrong in Linxi Village at the foot of the mountain. Does the mountain **** know the reason?" Fang Chang asked casually.

"oh?"

   "Today when I went up the mountain to fetch water, I saw the direction of Linxi Village at the foot of the mountain. It seemed that there was an aura of disaster and decline. I don't know what happened."

  The mountain **** frowned and said: "I'm just a tiny little god, and I don't know the way of the gods to look at Qi. As for the matter of Linxi Village at the bottom of the mountain, let me investigate."

   Chatting about some things in the mountains again, Fang Chang was about to leave: "Thank you Zhangshan God for your hospitality this time, but I have important things today, so I can't bother you."

  He also has to fetch clay.

The mountain **** smiled and said: "Thank you for your guidance today, but the little **** has nothing to grow on. Fortunately, there are a lot of products in Yunzhong Mountain. These high-quality chestnuts and pine nuts are not produced in the mountains, but they are very delicious. They can be eaten at the foot of the mountain." It's quite rare to sell it for a hundred coins per catty, so I ask Fang Shangxian to accept it with a smile."

  Fang Chang did not refuse, and accepted the small package of nuts. The two parties agreed to walk around and communicate frequently, and parted ways.

  After packing the chestnut and pine nuts, he went back to the foot of the mountain where he took the pottery clay, took out the stone flakes and dug, and collected broad leaves as the last time to make the bottom, filled a basket full, and then went to Xianqi Cliff.

  Although the previous fruits have been eaten, with these nuts, dinner is already settled.
