I have a fortune book

Chapter 5 Contract
As a result, the mountain people and villagers around Xiaoqingshan naturally did not dare to offer incense anymore, and the temple gradually became dilapidated, and the mountain god himself could only fall into a deep sleep.

However, the small temple has the advantage of being small. It is not very famous, and the upper echelon of the imperial court will not pay special attention to it.

Believers of the mountain god dare not continue to make offerings, but they also dare not take the initiative to report the existence of the temple.

When most of the wild gods were cut down and the temples were destroyed, the Xiaoqingshan Mountain Temple survived at the cost of dilapidation and disrepair, and the incense was cut off.

Fifteen years ago, in order to survive, He Dong, who went hunting in the mountains, came to the temple by chance and received extremely meager incense.

Persisting for many years, although the amount is small, it has kept the mountain god from falling completely.

It's just that he is too weak, and this time he manifested his holiness to drive away the wolves and consumed the last of his divine power. Even if Zhou Bai burned a few more incense sticks, it would not help.

At the end of the exchange, the heavy rain had just stopped, and the outside of the temple was already a little bit bright, and it would be dawn soon.

"Unexpectedly, there is the last believer before Shenyun. Remember to leave and don't come back. I will try to suppress a few evil spirits in the last few days."

"Also, you have been trapped by ghost energy for a long time, and you will inevitably become weak. Taking the incense ash in the furnace back and soaking it in water can eliminate this difficulty." The mountain god was telling Zhou Bai his final arrangement.

The shimmering light on the statue gradually dimmed, covered with cobwebs, and the dilapidated statue with its paint peeling off will return to its original shape.

Hearing this, Zhou Bai hurriedly put down the half-eaten roast wolf meat, and uttered a voice to stop the mountain god from thinking.

"Don't give up on the gods, I can help you get enough incense to restore the peace of Xiaoqingshan!" Zhou Bai looked solemn and spoke sonorously.

This caused the mountain god to look at Zhou Bai a few more times, then shook his head and said: "The Dazhen court has strict laws and regulations, how can I give you the opportunity to spread my beliefs."

"You sleep here, unaware of the white clouds and dogs in the outside world, the Dazhen of more than 200 years is now crumbling, the nobles have no way, and thieves are everywhere..."

That's right, according to some memories left by He Dong, Zhou Bai concluded that the Dazhen Dynasty was about to collapse.

There may be exaggerations in the words of persuasion to the mountain god, but he did it as a last resort.

Zhou Bai had previously projected his mind on the entry of the origin point, only to find out what is the most important thing that can be obtained by traveling through the heavens.

The origin point can manifest things obtained from other worlds, the most important thing is that Zhou Bai didn't find any restrictions, that is to say, the origin point is enough for him to do whatever he wants.

The rules for obtaining the origin of the Qiyun Tianshu are still unclear, but it is definitely right to use the mountain god as a breakthrough point.

Zhou Bai didn't forget that the original points accumulated in the Heavenly Book of Qi Luck were changed from zero to one just because of the manifestation of the mountain god, which provided a direction to obtain the original points.

"It's no wonder that there are ghosts in the mountains recently. It turns out that the power of humanity is weakening. If I don't take action to suppress it, ghosts will come down the mountain in the near future to plunder blood."

"Blood-stained ghosts are ferocious and inhumane, and may have the act of massacring the village. If enough blood is obtained, ghosts and even ghost kings will be born from the ghosts..."

The mountain god finally attained the immortality, and he didn't want to die easily, so he finally agreed to give Zhou Bai a chance.

And also told Zhou Bai that the spread of faith must be done before the mountain ghost goes down the mountain.

One month, one month, the mountain god can't see the hope of recovering his strength, so he will show his final power to keep Xiaoqingshan peaceful for a period of time.

"Chirp~"

There were chirping birds chirping one after another in the mountains, and the shimmering light representing the mountain god on the statue disappeared.

However, the morning light shone into the hall, and it was still bright.

……

Zhou Bai stood outside the temple, looking at the winding path down the mountain, and let out a long breath of white air.

Not only did he survive the first night of Advent, but he also became attached to a god.

In the midst of emotional ups and downs, he carried the wolf fur and the most essential wolf meat on his back alone, and held the incense ash bowl wrapped in rags in his hand, and went down the mountain step by step.

The mountain is Xiaoqingshan, and the village under the mountain is naturally called Qingshan Village.

The terrain at the foot of the mountain is flat, there are fertile fields to cultivate, and the small green hills can be used for collecting firewood, hunting, and searching for medicines. Therefore, the village is not big, but there are hundreds of households, nearly 500 people.

Originally, life in Qingshan Village was easy, with enough food to eat, and a stable life was not a problem.

However, since the Dazhen Dynasty's national power has declined day by day, natural disasters have been frequent, refugees have been everywhere, and careerists who rebelled and rebelled have emerged in an endless stream.

Under such circumstances, the imperial court could only increase taxes and mobilize troops to suppress the rebellion, which would instead lead to a vicious circle.

Qingshan Village is also the focus of taxation in the county, making them go from having surplus food in every household to being hungry and full now.

Food in the fields has to be taxed, and the villagers can still rely on the mountains to eat, but at the right time, there are "beasts" in the mountains that harm people.

After a few young men left and never came back, He Dong, who made his living by hunting, had to go up the mountain all by himself.

This time when he went up the mountain, He Dong didn't return all night, and everyone in the village thought he had died in the belly of a ferocious beast.

A well-meaning old man in the village even prepared to pack his clothes at home and set up a tomb.

Unexpectedly, He Dong, whose body was occupied by Zhou Bai, would appear at the head of the village in a big way, and bring back several wolf corpses.

This is big news, wolves are dispatched in packs, it is difficult for a person to survive alone, let alone counter-kill.

They even think that the man-eating beasts are the increasingly rampant wild wolves.

Many people didn't believe that such a strong man was around, but as Zhou Bai distributed wolf meat door to door, the villagers had to believe it, and gradually brought a lot of awe in their gratitude.

It is a great kindness to be able to eat a meal of meat today when we are all hungry.

In the middle of the village, at the home of the old village chief.

"Dongzi, how did you survive? Didn't you see anything other than wolves?" The old village head looked around Zhou Bai with extremely surprised eyes to check his whole body.

As a result, Zhou Bai had no major injuries except for some traces of thorny grass and sharp stones. He even had some strange temperament because of his soul changing.

"What do you know? The hunter who disappeared in Xiaoqingshan probably wasn't because of a beast." Zhou Bai asked in a strange tone while looking for something to put the wolf's legs on the stove.

In He Dong's memory, the old village head of the entire village treated him the best, not only helping to restrain his parents after death, but also taking care of him with food and clothing.

"I'm playing tricks on the old man? You forgot that ten years ago, your thatched cottage was overturned by a strong wind. Who helped? And that time when your kid had a high fever, who was it..." The old village chief blew his beard and rolled his eyes, looking annoyed. Can't figure it out.

"Stop, stop, slow down, didn't I come here the first time?" Zhou Bai couldn't help it, so he hurried to appease the old man.

"Is it a ghost?" The old man didn't hesitate, and got straight to the point.

"Yes, the yin energy in the mountain is stagnant, attracting those things. Fortunately, the mountain god appeared to save him."

"The one in the mountain temple? The old man's great-grandfather was never worshiped by anyone in his generation. I didn't expect that he still has power."

"The mountain god said that wild ghosts might come down the mountain to harm people, and told me to wait and do it myself."

"This, this, this, what should I do!"

"If you want to save Qingshan Village, there are some risks, and you have to come forward..."
