I have a fortune book

Chapter 4

After a short rest, Zhou Bai stood up and bowed three times to the dust-masked idol to show that he did not intend to be disrespectful in his next actions.

It is a pity that there are only cold incense ash left in the clay pot used to replace the incense burner, and there are no incense candles to offer beside it.

The cold wind kept howling, the wolves outside the ruined temple were staring at each other, his blood was empty, and his strength was about to be exhausted. Everything seemed to be the same as the instructions in the luck entry.

Before rebirth, he didn't dare to travel freely, because he was worried about falling into such a dangerous situation.

Zhou Bai is now trying to use his strength to break the situation. If the mountain god has any remaining power, he can save himself temporarily, otherwise everything will be over.

He held a hunting bow in his hand, put the arrow on the string, and approached the creaking wooden door step by step.

A wild wolf noticed the movement, its waist was arched high, its fangs were exposed, and its mouth dripping with saliva let out a low growl.

Immediately, wild wolves gathered around and wandered outside the wooden door, as if they were ready to attack at any time.

The wind and rain are dark, and the night is low.

Relying on the hunter's ability to the utmost extent, Zhou Bai pulled the tendon bowstring to the full moon, pointed the arrow in the direction of the wooden door and waited for the opportunity.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and Huo Liang's light shone for an instant.

The ruined temple was illuminated transparently, and the pack of wild wolves outside was also clearly visible. Zhou Bai seized the opportunity, and immediately released his fingers that were clasping the arrow.

huh~
Arrows shot out quickly from the wooden door and window grille, and a tall wild wolf was shot through the head and fell down whimpering.

Dark red blood flowed out from the wound, mixed in the rain, and the smell of blood mixed with water vapor, escaping in all directions.

The pack of wolves howled and groaned in excitement, rushed forward one after another, baring their teeth.

But this dilapidated temple is like some kind of forbidden place, even if their companions die in front of them, they don't dare to cross the threshold.

This performance further confirmed Zhou Bai's conjecture that the gods here have not yet fallen.

"Crack~" He took a deep breath and opened the decayed wooden door.

A pair of green wolves' eyes reflected the scene they couldn't figure out, the prey that was surrounded to the brink of death was actively provoking.

Sometimes Zhou Bo jumped out of the threshold, and sometimes into the temple, provoking wild wolves to attack.

But back and forth, none of the wild wolves succeeded in culling, but the bloodthirsty instinct of the wolves became more violent.

At this time, there were still cunning wild wolves who were indifferent and still wanted to wait and see. Zhou Bai gritted his teeth and exhausted all his strength, bent his bow and set an arrow, and shot directly.

Especially the wolf that was obviously stronger, it had been quite calm, so it was directly nailed to death by three consecutive arrows.

At this time, without the restraint of the wolf leader, the pack of wolves completely lost their minds and rushed forward.

Zhou Bai's arrows were exhausted, and the remaining strength was also used up in the three arrows that killed the wolf, and now he could only retreat.

He stepped back in front of the statue, quietly watching the rushing wolves, not only was there no fear on his pale face, but a strange look of anticipation.

God?Even if the second generation is a human being, he has never really seen it.

Finally, the first frizzy wolf stepped into the temple, and the forbidden line that the wolf warned was crossed so easily, nothing happened.

Immediately afterwards, other wild wolves also rushed in. They wanted to tear up the presumptuous prey. The wolf king was too cautious, otherwise he would have died from the counterattack of the prey.

The wild wolf that charged first had already leaped high, pointing directly at Zhou Bai's fragile neck.

Zhou Bai leaned helplessly on the side of the altar, he didn't care about the wild wolf, he just stared at the Qiyun Tianshu with his thoughts.

With a big foul mouth, sharp wolf claws, and disgusting saliva almost dripping on his hair.

"Boom!" Between lightning and flint, a transcendent and majestic coercion swept across the entire temple.

At the same time, the entries in the Qi Luck Book changed, and as the tadpole-shaped text twisted, the Qi Luck was no longer dark and sluggish.

[Luck: Willows are dark and flowers are bright]

【Origin point: [-]】

Vaguely, Zhou Bai seemed to smell a ray of incense, and he could feel that the coercion was not aimed at him.

The scene of being thrown down by wild wolves did not appear, because the mountain god of the ruined temple appeared.

ooh...

After howling for a while, all the wild wolves escaped from the temple with their tails between their legs, as if they had encountered something extremely terrifying.

Some wild wolves panicked and knocked unconscious on brick walls or pillars, and were immediately dragged away by their companions, as if they were afraid of disturbing the temple owner.

Zhou Bai turned his head, only to see that the lacquer was peeling off, and the dilapidated and decayed statue was completely new, with a god living in it, emitting a faint light.

"I've seen the mountain god, but I haven't thanked him for saving my life." Zhou Bai hurriedly bowed and bowed three times with sincerity.

The mountain god stared at him expressionlessly, and didn't make a sound until Zhou Bai broke out in cold sweat.

"You are very smart, you can guess that I have not fallen." The voice was not salty, but dissatisfaction could be heard.

Zhou Bai didn't dare to raise his head, and continued to bend down to worship. If it were him, he would also be unhappy because he was being used.

Fortunately, not long after, the mountain god seemed to think of something, and continued: "This is a reward for your service for many years, and there is no need to be polite."

At this time, although His voice was majestic and serious, it was not losing its gentleness.

"It's a trivial move, I dare not be self-sufficient." Zhou Bai heaved a sigh of relief, straightened up and cupped his hands.

He slowly cleared up some fragments of memory, and it turned out that this body had been bound up with this god since childhood.

When I was a teenager, I used the temple to shelter from the rain while hunting, and then whenever I chased the prey too late, I would spend the night here.

He Dong is a person who knows how to repay his kindness. Every time he spends the night, he will make up a stick of incense the next day. The incense ash accumulated in the mud bowl is accumulated over the years.

In addition, the imperial court forbids worshiping gods who have not been officially sealed, and ordinary incense can only be used to worship Wenwu Temple, so joss sticks are very expensive.

Almost half of the harvested prey was used to offer incense, and it was at the risk of being captured by the court. From this point of view, "I" did have a lot of karma with the mountain god.

"Hey, you don't have to come here anymore, and you don't come here on this mountain, it's dangerous." The mountain god sighed, and said with a bit of sorrow and vicissitudes.

"What do you mean by respecting God? Is it because I'm not pious enough, or because I don't have enough incense." Zhou Bai was in a hurry, he hugged his thigh with great difficulty, how could he give up so easily.

"I was enshrined as a god by the mountain people thousands of years ago, and I became the mountain god of Xiaoqingshan in private, but the human way is too tough..."

Maybe it's because I haven't communicated with people for too long, and the mountain god talked a lot, which made Zhou Bai understand the cause and effect.

The power of humanity in this world suppresses the world, and few gods have attained the Tao. Up to now, the Dazhen Dynasty is extremely strict with the gods of the world.

There are only a handful of official deities that can be recorded in official documents, and most of them are founding meritorious deities.

It is even more impossible for the "wild gods" in remote places like Xiaoqingshan Mountain God to be granted imperial seals.

The hundreds of years of becoming a god were fine. Although the humane court also looked down on wild gods, at least they would not kill them all.

Until the last two dynasties, all temples for wild gods and prostitution were banned, and people who dared to believe in wild gods joined clans and villages.
