Chapter 1 Ninth Grade Qingxi Mountain God
There is a boundless world.

There is one land, and the empire stretches across it.

One day.

The golden list outside the sky manifests, there are various powerful people fighting in chaos, the text on the list is dim, and they fall into the boundless.Countless starbursts fell and disappeared.

In the Ming Empire, the five powerful auras surged from the capital of Shangjing and rushed straight to Xiaohan.

In the thirteen palaces of the empire, there are three more figures soaring into the sky, one monk, one swordsman.

The golden list is gone, the sky is cloudy, and the strong retreat.

The entire Ming Empire, however, was undercurrents surging due to this battle outside the territory.

……

The Ming Empire was divided into north and south Zhili, Thirteen Tianfu, countless states and counties, and its territory was boundless.

Yanping Mansion is located in the southern part of the empire, with high mountains and steep mountains, the most wild.

Nanping Prefecture, Songxi County, Qingxi Mountain.

Lin Zhao was like a candle in the wind, flickering unsteadily.

"I didn't expect this gold list to bring me here!"

In the belly of the mountain, a withered yellow manuscript is buried deep.From the list of essays, Lin Zhao's ghost is exposed, standing on the list of essays.This ghost is weak, if it wasn't for the protection of Wenbang, it would have been like thousands of wandering souls in the world, and the soul would return to heaven and earth once the seven days expired.

Lin Zhao looked around, there was mud all over, and he didn't know where he was.But just now he lived on the gold list and fought against the strong in this world, but he could see it clearly.

"The powerhouses in this world don't seem to be following the way of immortality, let alone the way of god." Lin Zhao recalled.

The Jinbang came across the border, and the strong men in this world blocked it. With one punch and one kick, they moved the heaven and the earth and broke the void.

The strong man who intercepts the gold list is obviously the strongest in this world.Lin Zhao lived on the Jinbang, so he could see the battles, but he couldn't see their faces clearly.

The Jinbang erupted, severely injuring all strong men, and when it fell into the sky, Lin Zhao saw a few strong men.

Located in the north, there are five people whose momentum is like a rainbow, like stars.

There are three people from all directions, each with their own skills and good temperament.

Lin Zhaoming realized that these eight people were probably the most powerful people in this land.

"The gods are self-obscuring, and the golden list falls in the sky, and no one can find its trace. I hide in the golden list, and I must be safe." Lin Zhao thought for a moment, only to feel that the ghost was weak, and fell into a deep sleep.

……

The sun rises and the moon sets, day and night.

In a blink of an eye, I don't know how many years have passed.

Lin Zhao is sometimes awake, sometimes asleep, and has no concept of time.

this day.

In Qingxi Mountain, a gleam of golden light appeared on the dry gold list, and a complex talisman rose from it, sinking into the sleeping Lin Zhao's body.

Lin Zhao suddenly woke up, and there was a majestic voice in his mind, like Huang Zhong Dalu——

"The Mountain God of Qingxi Mountain in the Ming Dynasty!"

The talisman radiates light, covering Lin Zhao's whole body.Lin Zhao's ghost body is extremely weak and will dissipate at any time.At this time, illuminated by the golden light of the talisman, it solidified quickly, and the long-lost power returned.

Lin Zhao moved his hands and feet, feeling comfortable.Although he is not a body of flesh and blood, but the body of the ghost has been completely transformed. Now Lin Zhao is the Ninth Grade Qingxi Mountain God, and he can be called the Earth God, the God, or the Yin God.

The heaven and earth career position descends, and infinite mighty power is added to the body.

A ghost can achieve extraordinary power in an instant!

"It turned out to be a mountain god!"

There was surprise in Lin Zhao's eyes.

There are high and low grades of mountain gods.

As strong as the God of Three Mountains and Five Mountains, his status is comparable to the Righteous God of Heaven, Yan Luo of the Underworld, and Dragon King of the Four Seas, and weaker than Lin Zhao, who is a small God according to a small mountain, and is of the ninth rank!

"No matter how small the god is, he is still a god, so he can avoid the pain of soul dissipation and reincarnation." Lin Zhao was overjoyed, and it took him a long time to calm down, sit cross-legged, and comprehend the mountain god talisman seal.

"Mountains, forests, rivers, valleys and hills, which can come out of clouds, cause wind and rain, and see strange things, they are all called gods."

The mountain god is transformed by the will of a mountain, or appointed by the heaven, or born naturally, and there are even mountain spirits and ghosts refining the mountain to extract talismans and occupy themselves as gods.

Of course, the latter is an evil god and is not tolerated by the heavens.If it is discovered in the wild, it will inevitably be captured by the heavenly soldiers and sent to the eighteenth level of hell.

But in this world——

Lin Zhao concentrated his attention and realized that there is no God in this world!
"Heaven does not exist, hell does not exist, and the six realms do not appear!"

"This--"

Lin Zhao opened his eyes suddenly, the horror in his eyes was inexplicable.

In the prehistoric times, the Heavenly Court is in charge of the stars in the sky, the mountains, rivers and rivers on the ground, and the underworld.

There are gods in the sky, and there are gods in the earth.

But here, there is only Lin Zhao with a single mind!
"Is it really a desert of the divine way?" Lin Zhao couldn't help but think of the supreme demeanor displayed by the powerful people in this world when the gold list broke the boundary and came to intercept it.

"Perhaps, this place no longer belongs to the Heavenly Court, nor is it under the jurisdiction of the Great Desolation!"

Lin Zhao understood.

Instead, he swept his eyes and landed on the gold list beside him.

"Gold List."

This gold list was snatched by Lin Zhao from a ghost in the Great Desolate Continent, and he has not got anything with him for decades.When the body died, Jinbang revealed its miraculous powers, bringing Lin Zhao to break through the world.

Lin Zhao stretched out his hand and held the golden list.

From the gold list, there is a majestic message.

""Taishang Kaitian Holding Talisman Yuli Contains True Body Dao Haotian Mysterious Method"?!"

Lin Zhao was short of breath.

The Jinbang taught the Dharma, a mysterious and incomprehensible method of cultivating the divine way fell into his mind and was deeply rooted.Lin Zhao recalled carefully, and found that the follow-up of this method was shrouded in mist, and it was hard to see clearly.

Only the first layer can be seen, it is the method for Yinhun to become Yinshen.

From ghosts, you can practice to the ninth rank of gods, or land, or mountain gods, or Hebo, you can count them all from your heart.

"Great fortune!"

Lin Zhao laughed loudly.

The god-blessed talisman seal, the position of the mountain god, has become the ninth rank!

This is an external force.Once the mountain god's talisman seal was deprived, Lin Zhao's power of the ninth-rank mountain god would dissipate like the wind, and he would return to the ghost state.

But it will be very different if you practice to the ninth rank!

That is real power, which belongs to oneself and cannot be taken away.

Furthermore, the divine power of the talisman god comes from the incense, and without the incense, the supernatural powers will not be manifested.But he can become a god by self-cultivation, and his divine power is like mana, and he is no longer a rootless duckweed.

Lin Zhao calmed down, suppressed the urge to practice immediately, and sorted out other information obtained from the gold list.

"In this world, the divine way does not exist, yet the golden list can refine the divine way talisman and bestow divine positions on living beings!"

Lin Zhao was shocked.

Only then did he know that the mountain god talisman seal was originally extracted from the Qingxi Mountain with the remaining power of the gold list.The mountain god talisman was achieved, and the power of the gold list was also consumed.

Fortunately, Lin Zhao and Jinbang landed in Qingxi Mountain, a small mountain with a radius of only a few miles. If they landed on Baiyu Mountain, dozens of miles away, the power of Jinbang would not be enough to refine the Shinto talismans.

"If you can replenish energy for the gold list, not only the land gods such as the mountain god land can be easily refined, but even the gods of the ten kings of the underworld and the star kings in the sky can be easily refined!"

Lin Zhao held the gold list in his hand, his heart was agitated.

He unfolded the gold list, only to see that there was only one line of gold characters on it——

Ninth Grade Qingxi Mountain Mountain God: Lin Zhao!
……

Time flies like an arrow.

It has been more than half a month since Lin Zhao became the mountain god of Qingxi Mountain.

In the past half a month, Lin Zhao was roughly familiar with the mountain god's seat.

mountain god.

The reason why he can be worshiped by people is that he can call the wind and rain, snow and hail, can bless one party's safety and health, and the livestock will prosper, and he can also bring disasters and disasters to harm one party.

Mountain gods are more easily offended than any kind of deity.

Anyone who passes through high mountains and snowy ridges, hanging rocks and cliffs, virgin forests, etc. must be careful everywhere. It is best not to make loud noises, or make a lot of noise, otherwise the mountain god will be angered, and immediately there will be violent winds, thunder and lightning, and heavy rain. If it pours, it will flood; if it is winter, it will be filled with wind and snow, covering the sky and covering the earth.

Of course, these can only be done by a mountain god with profound divine power.Lin Zhao was a mountain god at the beginning, and he was still a ninth-rank hill, with low divine power, even rarer magic spells, and limited supernatural powers.

Lin Zhao sits cross-legged on the mountain, and the body of the mountain god is hidden from outsiders.

The beasts in the mountains and the birds in the forest are psychic. They can feel the faint divine power here, and they dare not approach.

"The talisman gods have no divine power in themselves. Only when they are sacrificed with incense can they turn incense into divine power and perform supernatural powers."

"Although Qingxi Mountain is not a deep mountain and old forest, it is also inaccessible. Where does the power of incense and vows come from?"

Lin Zhao frowned, looking at the birds, insects and beasts, lost in thought.

He guessed that there is no god in this world.That being the case, Lin Zhao naturally has an infinite desire to make progress.

He occupies the position of the mountain god of Qingxi Mountain, and he does not forget to practice when he patrols the mountains and forests.

"Taishang Kaitian Zhifu Yuli Contains True Body Dao Haotian Mysterious Method" is mysterious, and it is extremely difficult to practice.Lin Zhao practiced hard for half a month, but he couldn't even get started.

He comprehended the Dharma and learned that this Dharma should be assisted by the power of incense and fire, which is the way to practice the Dharma and go straight to the sky!
It's a pity that Qingxi Mountain Liao is uninhabited, so there is no incense to speak of.

The birds and beasts in the mountains, fearing the majesty of the mountain god, contributed a few strands of incense after half a month.According to this progress, even a drop of divine power may not be able to accumulate for decades.

"I have to think of a way!"

Lin Zhao got up and walked in the mountains.

Beside Qingxi Mountain, there is a clear stream flowing, hence the name.

With a radius of more than ten miles, it can only be regarded as a small mountain.Compared with Baiyu Mountain, which towers into the clouds dozens of miles away, it is even more like a small mountain.

For more than half a month, Lin Zhao made a clear inspection of Qingxi Mountain early.Every gully, every ancient tree, and even every bird is very familiar.

Lin Zhao, as usual, patrolled the mountains and forests, thinking about the method of accumulating incense.

In the distance, a figure approached quietly.

Lin Zhao's eyes lit up.

The man moved swiftly, but quietly.With a broken blade tied around his waist and a strong bow in his hand, he kept moving forward.

"God bless, let me hunt two pheasants!"

Zhao Sanshi holds a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, and a pair of eagle eyes scans around, looking for prey.

Suddenly, a pheasant jumped out, causing noise.

"Red-tailed Pheasant!"

Zhao Sanshi was overjoyed, he took the bow and shot the arrow in one go.

Swish!
Unfortunately, the arrow landed behind the pheasant and missed.The pheasant was startled and ran away.

The red-tailed pheasant was extremely fast, Zhao Sanshi hurried to catch up, but he knew that he would not be able to catch up.

But unexpectedly, just two steps after chasing, a big rock rolled down from the mountain, hitting the red-tailed pheasant so dizzy that it couldn't move.

Zhao Sanshi stared wide-eyed, stepped forward in twos and threes, and grabbed the red-tailed pheasant in his hands.The pheasant was sober, struggling desperately, how could it break free.

"Ha ha!"

"I didn't expect my third child to be so lucky!"

A red-tailed pheasant weighs two to three catties, and a live red-tailed pheasant is even more valuable.

With just this pheasant, Zhao Sanshi won't lose out if he enters the mountain this time.

"I said that there must be a lot of prey in this deep mountain! Next time, you can call the second brother and the others to come together!"

After capturing the red-tailed pheasant, Zhao Sanshi did not linger in Qingxi Mountain, he carried the prey and turned back to the village outside the mountain.

Zhao Sanshi left happily, Lin Zhao stood in the mountains, watched his back disappear, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Accumulate for more than half a month, seven strands of incense, push the boulder to consume one strand, and the remaining six strands will build a dream for three nights."

"I hope you don't disappoint me."

Lin Zhao flicked his big sleeves, escaped into the mountainside, and disappeared.

……

Out of the range of Qingxi Mountain, through several miles of mountain forests, there is a village named Qingxi Village.Qingxi, which flows from the side of Qingxi Mountain, happens to pass through this village.

Qingxi Village has nearly one hundred households and more than three hundred villagers, which is not a small scale.

Zhao Sanshi came back with a red-tailed pheasant, causing quite a stir.This red-tailed pheasant is not slow, good at hiding, and the most difficult to hunt.But its dazzling red tail and delicious meat are deeply loved by the rich in the town.

Hunting a red-tailed pheasant, the harvest is no less than hunting seventeen or eight mountain rabbits.

Zhao Sanshi smiled all the way, crossed Qingxi Village, went to the town to sell red-tailed pheasants, brought back two catties of fat meat, and did not come back again until evening.

The dinner is rare and sumptuous.

Zhao Sanshi was only [-] years old, and his lovely wife had an eight-month-old belly, and the two of them ate a lot.Seeing the smile on his wife's face, Zhao Sanshi felt beautiful in his heart.

night.

Zhao Sanshi fell asleep with his wife in his arms.

……

"This is where?"

Zhao Sanshi looked around and found that he did not know when he came to the foot of Qingxi Mountain where the red-tailed pheasant was hunted during the day.

He slapped his forehead and remembered that he was hunting.

Tightening the bow in his hand, Zhao Sanshi was about to show off his skills when he suddenly noticed a red-tailed pheasant skipping ahead.Zhao Sanshi hurriedly set up his bow and shot an arrow, but it was a pity that the arrow hit nothing.

"what--"

Zhao Sanshi felt that this scene was somewhat familiar, and he followed the stolen red-tailed pheasant.

He raised his head and looked up, but Zhao Sanshi was startled by this look.

On Qingxi Mountain, a general wearing divine armor was shrouded in divine light.He stretched out his finger, and a big rock rolled down, knocking the flying red-tailed pheasant unconscious.

At the same time, a majestic voice sounded——

"The red tail offended the majesty of the mountain god, and punished you to be hunted and sold to the world!"

"The red tail offended the majesty of the mountain god, and punished you to be hunted and sold to the world!"

"The red tail offended the majesty of the mountain god, and punished you to be hunted and sold to the world!"

Three voices sounded in succession, shocking Zhao Sanshi into a daze.When he came back to his senses, he saw the god shrouded in divine light cast his gaze over, as if the real gaze woke up Zhao Sanshi.

"Hoohoo!"

In the room, Zhao Sanshi sat up suddenly, with a trace of sweat on his forehead.

"It turned out to be a dream."

He looked back and saw that his wife was sleeping soundly.

Zhao Sanshi lay down, worried about waking his wife.It's just that when he lay down, the eyes of the general who claimed to be a mountain god seemed to cast him from the air.Zhao Sanshi shook his head, secretly thinking that this dream was too real.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Sanshi fell into a drowsy sleep.

Early the next morning.

Zhao Sanshi remembered the dream he had last night, and told his wife as an anecdote.His wife laughed at him for being stupid for hunting.

But for the next two days, Zhao Sanshi was having this dream.

In the dream, the mountain god was majestic and his eyes were like torches. As a result, Zhao Sanshi didn't catch a single prey in two days.

"Mountain God! Mountain God!"

On the third day, Zhao Sanshi entered the mountain again, bowed to Qingxi Mountain at the spot where he hunted the red-tailed pheasant——

"Lord Mountain God, bless me to hunt the prey."

Unusual, this time Zhao Sanshi did not ask for the protection of God, but the protection of the mountain god.

Strange to say, after this bow and knock, Zhao Sanshi actually caught two prey.Although it was not as relaxing as the red-tailed pheasant, it was better than the previous two days.

As the evening approached, Zhao Sanshi returned to his previous position and bowed three times to Qingxi Mountain.

"Thank you, Lord Mountain God, for your blessing! Thank you, Lord Mountain God, for your blessing!"

Zhao Sanshi quickly descended the mountain, carrying a pheasant and a hare.

"Humans are the spirit of all things, and the power of incense is the purest and most powerful. It is true." Lin Zhao felt a ray of incense power coming from the dark void, and landed in the divine talisman seal of Linzhao Mountain.

Only Zhao Sanshi contributed two strands of incense with two prayers a day.

"It seems that this method is feasible." Lin Zhao looked in the direction of Qingxi Village and thought to himself.

He used the method of building dreams with incense and fire to evolve the dream of the mountain god.After that, he used the body of a god to drive away the prey in the mountains, so that Zhao Sanshi got nothing for two days.

Such behavior really made Zhao Sanshi wake up.Worship Qingxi Mountain, worship the mountain god, and become the No.1 follower of Linzhao.

Lin Zhao also gave blessings and drove away pheasants and hares for Zhao Sanshi to hunt.

In this way, the income of incense has increased greatly.

……

In a flash, another ten days passed.

For ten days, Zhao Sanshi came to Qingxi Mountain every morning and evening to worship the mountain god.His thoughts are pure, and he feels that the mountain god has great powers.Since worshiping the mountain god, the number of prey hunted every day has doubled.

In the past, at most one or two prey were hunted, but in these ten days there were at least two, and sometimes even seven or eight prey were hunted, which made Zhao Sanshi very happy.

The sun rises.

As usual, Zhao Sanshi worshiped the mountain god and went hunting in the mountains.

But after half a day, Zhao Sanshi didn't even catch a single prey.

"How is this going?"

Zhao Sanshi thought to himself, maybe the mountain god is not working?

As soon as this idea came into being, there was a sudden burst of thunder in Qingxi Mountain, which startled Zhao Sanshi.

Rumble!
Rumble!
Zhao Sanshi looked up, there was no sign of rain in the sky, and he couldn't even see the dark clouds, and a bright sun swept across the sky.

"a bolt from the blue?!"

Zhao Sanshi was a little scared.

At this time, the birds and beasts in Qingxi Mountain ran wild, countless birds flew into the air and croaked; countless pheasants, hares and even huge wild boars roared past, and they were very frightened.

Rumble!
The thunder still did not stop.

Zhao Sanshi felt evil and didn't dare to stay longer in Qingxi Mountain, so he hurried back to Qingxi Village.

By night.

Zhao Sanshi had another dream.

He dreamed that the mountain god was standing in front of a ruined temple, which was dilapidated, with wind on three sides and rain on four sides.

The statue in the temple is very similar to the image of the mountain god, but the statue is dilapidated, and even one arm has been broken.

The mountain god stood in front of the ruined temple with an angry look on his face.

When the mountain god was angry, there were bursts of thunder in the sky, birds and beasts frightened away, mountains and rocks rolled, and floods torrential, a scene of annihilation.

Zhao Sanshi was terrified, but when he saw the mountain god's gaze, he woke up suddenly.

When I opened my eyes, the sky was bright.

"The destruction of the temple of the mountain god caused the anger of the mountain god!"

Zhao Sanshi was flustered.

In the past few days, I have seen the magic of the mountain god, and I believe in the existence of the mountain god [-]% to [-]% in my heart.The accident happened again yesterday, coupled with the dream last night, Zhao Sanshi was even more certain that there must be a mountain god in Qingxi Mountain.

"Don't blame the mountain god! Don't blame the mountain god!"

"The villain will build temples and statues for the mountain god!"

Zhao Sanshi was so lucky that he found Lao Zhang, a mason in the village, his second brother Zhao Ershi, and Zhou Tieniu, the boss of the Zhou family.

"Third son, you want to build a temple for the statue of the mountain god?" Zhao Ershi was stronger than Zhao Sanshi, in his twenties, with an unbelievable expression on his face.

"Yes!" Zhao Sanshi nodded.

"Third brother, are you crazy?" Zhou Tieniu, as his name suggests, was as strong as an iron ox, with two bull eyes staring.

Old Zhangtou sat aside and didn't interrupt to speak.

He didn't believe in the mountain god's theory in his heart.But when there is business coming, he won't talk too much.

Zhao Sanshi glanced at Lao Zhang, pulled his second brother and Zhou Tieniu aside, and whispered what had happened in the past ten days.

Zhao Ershi frowned after hearing this, "Third son, you mean that you hunted those prey these days because you worshiped the mountain god?"

"That's right!" Zhao Sanshi looked at the two of them and said, "Second brother, Tieniu. I hunted red-tailed pheasants, and at night I dreamed of mountain gods. Yesterday, there was thunder in the mountains, and you also heard it. At night, I immediately dreamed of it again." Mountain God."

"Think about it, why don't I usually dream, and when I dream, it is related to the mountain god?"

Although Zhao Sanshi is in Qingxi Village and has little knowledge, it doesn't mean he is stupid.It is precisely because these situations cannot be explained that he believes in the existence of mountain gods so much.

Zhou Tie Niuweng said, "Third brother, I heard from the storyteller in the town that some of the powerful sects of my Ming Dynasty are good at charm, can make people have nightmares, and kill people invisible, don't you—"

"Screw you!"

Zhao Ershi slapped Zhou Tieniu on the back of the forehead, and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about! The third child is a hunter, what is the witch from the sect to seduce him for?"

Zhou Tieniu shrank his neck, not daring to say any more.

Seeing that the two of them didn't quite believe it, Zhao Sanshi said anxiously, "Second brother, Tie Niu, please help me. After Lao Zhang has finished sculpting the statue of the mountain god, carry it to Qingxi Mountain for me, and then help me build a statue of the mountain god." The temple is fine. I don’t have much money now, so I can only do this, and the mountain god will definitely not blame me if I know it.”

"Forget it, it's nothing to move a statue and build a mountain temple to shelter from the wind and rain. But I can tell you, Qingqing is about to give birth, please be normal!" Zhao Ershi patted Zhao Sanshi on the shoulder , said seriously.

"Thank you second brother!" Zhao Sanshi nodded hastily.

Zhou Tieniu is the follower of the two brothers, and Zhao Ershi agreed, so naturally he would not be unwilling.

this day.

According to Zhao Sanshi's description, Lao Zhang made a statue of the mountain god out of clay.

This mountain god statue is as tall as a person, with a horizontal sword, it is very powerful.

By the next day, the statue of the mountain god had solidified.Zhao Sanshi, his second elder brother, and Zhou Tieniu carried the statue of the mountain god into Qingxi Mountain.

The road to Qingxi Mountain was difficult, but fortunately, the three of them were young and vigorous, and with some strength, they finally reached Qingxi Mountain in time for noon.

After going up to Qingxi Mountain, Zhao Sanshi and the others let out a long sigh of relief, feeling extremely tired.

"what--"

Zhou Tieniu took two breaths, looked at the two brothers Zhao Sanshi, and asked, "Do you think there is any difference here?"

"What's the difference?"

Zhao Ershi was puzzled.

Zhao Sanshi's eyes lit up, "Tie Niu, do you feel that after entering Qingxi Mountain, your head is very clear, just follow...just follow..."

Zhao Sanshi couldn't find an adjective.

"That's right. My mind was confused from being tired just now, but after taking a few breaths on this mountain, I don't seem to be very tired." Zhou Tieniu said excitedly.

Zhao Ershi heard the two talking from the side, and felt that Qingxi Mountain was a bit special.

But he didn't think too much, and urged, "Don't talk about what's there, build the mountain temple quickly, and go home for dinner!"

"Good good."

As soon as Zhao Sanshi heard about building a mountain temple, he immediately responded.

The three of them grew up in Qingxi Mountain since they were young, and it was easy to build a house.Before evening, a simple mountain temple built with earth and wood was built.

Zhao Sanshi carefully carried the statue of the mountain god into the temple and placed it in the middle.

Then he took two steps back and respectfully bowed three times.

Zhao Ershi and Zhou Tieniu looked amused, but they only looked at Zhao Sanshi, but they didn't see the fleeting light of the Zhongshan God statue in the mountain temple.
