Chapter 182 Mountain Temple

Uncle Sun did not allow Lu Tian and the others to go to the back mountain because the back mountain was not very flat, not to mention many wild animals, and the road was rugged. In some places, there was no way to go. You need to use things within the rope to climb, otherwise it is fundamentally impossible. Unable to reach the destination.

As for when the mountain temple on the back mountain was built, this has to be talked about from a long time ago.

Behind Panlong Peak is a long stretch of mountain range. Zu Mountain is a very famous Qinling Mountain in China, so this mountain range has many very precious Chinese medicinal materials.

When Western medicine was not very developed, hordes of herbalists would go into the mountains to collect medicines in exchange for money.

The Houshan Mountain Temple also has a long history. Legend has it that a talented father was seriously ill, and the other party went to the mountain to collect medicine, but after three days, the other party had nothing. Seeing that the dry food was eaten, he prayed to the mountain god and said if he could dig it. When he came to the herb to save his father’s life, he helped build a mountain temple in the back mountain.

Sure enough, after the other party finished praying, he really found Polygonum multiflorum in a crack in the stone, and that Polygonum multiflorum had become a man.

After obtaining Polygonum multiflorum, Xiucai’s father’s illness gradually improved. In order to repay the mountain god’s favor, Xiucai kept his promise to build a mountain temple in the land where Polygonum multiflorum was excavated. From then on, everyone who went to the back mountain to collect medicine must be in the mountain god. Incense in the temple, so as not to return empty-handed.

Therefore, the Houshan Mountain Temple has always existed. In the past hundreds of years, not only did it not collapse, but it has also changed its appearance. To this day, it has been completely built in red brick, and there are sculptures of mountain gods.

The road to the back mountain is very small, and there is no way to go in many places. Lu Tian and the others, holding a machete, broke through the thorns all the way, and finally came to a bumpy stone wall.

This road is actually not the main passage to the back mountain, but Lu Tian and the others took a shortcut, so there is no way to go.

“Lu Tian, ​​you are here to wait for me, I’ll go up and pull you.” Daniel inserted the machete in the belt loop, grabbed the rope that fell on the stone and pulled it hard to see if it was strong.

Because this road was often used before, there were ropes fixed on it, which made it easier to go back and forth.

“No, I will go up first, you are below.” Lu Tian refused directly.

Because Daniel’s body is much stronger than Lu Tian, ​​I don’t know how long the rope has been left on the stone arm, if it breaks in the middle, that’s not a big deal!

Although Daniel is strong, his sensitivity is not as good as Lu Tian’s. If the rope breaks, the opponent will definitely fall into a big somersault.

“Well, you go up first, if you can’t, you can jump down, I will catch you.” Daniel chuckled, then squatted down and said: “Come on, step on my shoulders, so come faster.”

Lu Tian tugged on the rope, then found a crack in the stone with his feet, and then jumped up.

Since he was a child living in the mountains, Lu Tian often accompanied his grandfather to gather medicine, so this kind of stone wall poses no threat to him at all.

The stone wall tens of meters high, even if Lu Tian’s speed is faster, it takes more than ten minutes, but during this period he still saw several herbs, so he put them in the basket all the time.

The top of the mountain is a bamboo forest, which is also a good place to pull the bamboo shoots, and the rope to go up the mountain is tied to a big tree in the bamboo forest.

After checking the ropes again, Lu Tian beckoned to the bull below, “Brother Niu, come up, no problem.”

Hearing Lu Tian’s voice, Daniel grabbed the rope’s hands and feet and used it to climb up, and the opponent’s speed was not slow, showing that he often came to this place.

After Daniel went up the mountain, the other party quickly replaced the rope on the tree with a new one. This is an old rule. Everyone who goes up the mountain must replace it with a new rope to prepare for the next time.

It was already ten o’clock in the afternoon, and there were at least two hours away from the mountain temple, so they had to hurry up, otherwise they might really have to spend the night in the mountains.

Walking on the road, Lu Tian and Daniel talked about the topic of last night and listened to each other’s thoughts.

Around 12:30 noon, Lu Tian and the others finally came to an area full of rocks. There were no plants in this place, only exposed rocks, and the mountain temple was beside a cave in the middle of the rocks.

The cave is the place where the herb gatherers sleep at night. Because it is behind the mountain temple, everyone thinks that they can be blessed by the mountain gods and will not provoke those mountain spirits at night.

“It’s finally here. It seems that I can go back before dark.” Lu Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he arrived at the destination, Lu Tian was still a little nervous, because he was afraid that the scene like last night would happen again. What should he do if he fails? Does he really want to open the master’s grave for a bone test?

Since people’s living standards have become better and better, few people have come to this place, so the mountain temple has lost its former glory, and even the incense has been cut off for a long time.

A canonized little god, incense is very important to them, and it is also the basic guarantee for them to live here.

The mountain temple is not very big, it is bigger than the earth temple, and people can enter into it and bow down.

The statue of the mountain god is a young woman, the other party is dressed in red silk, sitting there casually, looking rough, but it is also considered to be alike.

Lu Tian stood outside and looked at it, then opened his schoolbag and took out the contents.

“Lu Tian, ​​hurry up, we will go back later.” Daniel urged.

Because Daniel has heard people say that the back mountain is not clean since he was a child, he has an instinctive fear of this place.

Not to mention Daniel, even Lu Tian rarely comes here, as the so-called water is deep and there are gods in the mountains.

The gods here are not fengshui masters, but the kind of monsters built into spirits.

Most of the spirits who are successful in cultivation like to live on the high mountains, because there are few people here and they will not disturb their cultivation.

And some monsters like to enter the mortal world in human form, and experience the love and hatred of mortals. This is also an experience of tempering the Taoist heart.

Lu Tian nodded to Daniel. He didn’t want to spend the night here. After all, the back mountain was too dangerous, and he would enter the Jietian Peak when he went up.

The Mount Tianfeng is the back mountain of the back mountain. Master Lu Tian has gone to gather medicine before, but no one else would dare to go.

I heard that in the Jietian Peak, you can’t see the sun when you raise your head, you can’t see your fingers in the dark, and there is a thick leaf on the ground.

Of course this is just a legend, maybe not so scary at all.

Lighting a stick of incense, Lu Tian bowed to the mountain god: “Mountain god empress, I am a disciple of Zhang Dezheng, and my master has lived and died for no reason. I hope I can tell the truth.”

After all, Lu Tian inserted the incense into the incense burner, and then quietly opened his eyes and looked around.

There was no one around, and nothing strange appeared, which made Lu Tian frowned slightly.

“Lady of the mountain god, my master treated you very well when he was alive. You didn’t say anything about it, and you deliberately avoided me. What do you mean?”

Lu Tian said angrily, but the cold statue in front of him did not move at all, and even the incense was burning weakly.
