Chapter 1911
Mountain God 15
Sun Shan told the villagers the whole story.
The villagers were shocked.
They were almost eaten by a tiger.
Everyone was furious that San Yatou had turned into a ghost to harm them.
Unable to confront San Yatou directly, they vented their anger on San Yatou's family, who were the culprits.
San Yatou's brother and sister-in-law could no longer stay in the village, so they sold their ancestral land and went elsewhere to make a living.
The villagers heard that one of their rescuers was a mountain god, so they built a temple to the mountain god at the foot of the mountain.
Dan Qing was surprised to find that he had an additional source of worship.
Shan Qing and Liu Tong entered the city before the city gates closed.
The inn where they stayed was not far from the county magistrate's residence, and both Shan Qing and Liu Dong were able to enter the magistrate's house with their spiritual senses to observe the scene inside.
Dan Qing saw that the county magistrate's aura was black and multicolored.
There was also a touch of gray in it.
That was the color of annihilation.
This county magistrate's good days are over; his bad deeds have begun to backfire.
Even without their intervention, this county magistrate wouldn't live much longer.
After he dies, the eighteen levels of hell await him.
The four of them stayed in the county town for one night before setting off.
There were people behind and in front of them, who were also scholars going to the prefectural city to take the imperial examination.
A carriage sped by, the wind lifting the curtains to reveal the figures inside.
The group of scholars looked over and saw a face with a lotus-like appearance.
The scholars were all stunned.
Some people are very polite; once they realize what's happening, they immediately look away.
But there were also lecherous men who made comments about the beauties in the carriage.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew up the sand and dust on the ground, which then entered the mouth of the scholar who was talking so much.
The scholar's voice abruptly stopped.
Liu Tong and Shan Qing exchanged a glance and both shook their heads.
That scholar deserved to be punished for his own lack of manners.
The group walked for a while, leaving the other scholars behind.
The other scholars were all too weak to even kill a chicken, and their physical strength was nowhere near that of the others.
After walking for a while, the scholars could no longer walk and sat down to rest.
Dan Qing and his companions continued walking unhurriedly when suddenly a carriage stopped beside them.
The carriage curtain was lifted, and the beautiful woman that the scholars had seen earlier stepped out of the carriage and knelt before Shan Qing.
"Greetings, Your Excellency Mountain God!"
Shan Qing: "Get up."
When the beautiful woman punished the outspoken scholar, Shan Qing and Liu Dong realized that this woman was no ordinary person.
The demonic aura she used contained a trace of divine power, indicating that this female demon had been in contact with gods for a long time and might even be a follower of a certain god.
Shan Qing: "Which deity's servant are you?"
The beautiful woman said, "I was once a handmaid of the Holy Mother of the Three Realms, and my name was Chunhua."
Dan Qing exclaimed in surprise: "The Third Holy Mother? The Third Holy Mother of Mount Hua? Yang Jian's sister and Chen Xiang's mother?"
Chunhua: "Yes."
Dan Qing was astonished; a true deity had appeared!
"Where is the Holy Mother of the Third Princess? May I go and pay my respects to her?"
Shan Qing actually wanted to get to know Chen Xiang and Yang Jian through the Third Holy Mother.
Especially Yang Jian, who was Shan Qing's idol. Shan Qing had read Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods, and already liked Yang Jian very much.
Later, I watched The Lotus Lantern and became even more fond of the God of Justice who endured humiliation and hardship.
Unexpectedly, she could meet her idol after time-traveling; Shan Qing was incredibly excited.
But Chunhua poured cold water on his enthusiasm.
Although the Third Holy Mother was rescued from the foot of Mount Hua by Chenxiang, she destroyed her immortal roots in order to be with Liu Yanchang and grow old with him, thus entering the cycle of reincarnation.
After the death of the Third Holy Mother, Chenxiang took over the position of the Mountain God of Mount Hua and protected Mount Hua.
But one day five hundred years ago, Chenxiang was suddenly summoned back to Heaven by Yang Jian, and never returned.
It is said that there has been no further news of Yang Jian at Guanjiangkou.
Dan Qing also learned from the Xuanmen people that they could not contact the ancestors who had become immortals, which meant that there was indeed a problem with the Heavenly Court in this world.
Shan Qing: "Is it true that all the gods in Heaven have left this world?"
Chunhua shook her head.
She was just a minor demon serving the mountain god; how could she possibly know anything about the affairs of the Heavenly Court?
Dan Qing didn't ask any more questions and followed Chunhua to her residence at the foot of Mount Hua.
Chunhua originally lived in the alternate dimension of the Holy Mother Temple. Later, the Third Holy Mother and Chenxiang left one after another, and the alternate dimension in the Holy Mother Temple closed. She could only build a house not far from the Holy Mother Temple.
The house was very large, and the servants inside were not human, but various little demons taken in by Chunhua.
These little demons have no fighting power and can only rely on Chunhua for protection.
Chunhua had the little demons prepare a sumptuous meal to entertain Shan Qing and the other three. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Chunhua handed a jade token to Shan Qing.
This is the Mountain God's token of Mount Hua. When Chenxiang left, he left it behind and told Chunhua that if he did not return, and if he encountered a suitable deity, he should give this jade token to that deity.
Dan Qing took the jade tablet and infused it with a bit of divine power.
Suddenly, his vision blurred, and he found himself in a new space.
There was a young boy's figure in the space, but he was very weak and looked like he was about to disappear.
"Are you Chenxiang?"
"I am a wisp of celestial spirit left behind by Chenxiang, and I am about to dissipate," Chenxiang said. "Don't waste time, listen to me..."
It turns out that Chenxiang was summoned back to Heaven because he was going to fight.
This World Cup has been targeted by an evil force from outside the region.
It was an octopus-like monster that could corrupt other living beings and assimilate them into monsters like itself.
The gods of Heaven fought valiantly to stop the evil god's invasion.
One after another, the gods were killed by the evil gods, but the evil gods were not faring well either, being severely injured by the gods.
In the end, only Yang Jian, Chen Xiang, Nezha, the Jade Emperor, and Buddha remained on the side of the gods, who were the most powerful.
Although the evil god was severely injured, he still wanted to invade the world.
Ultimately, Buddha and the Jade Emperor set up a formation that could completely annihilate the evil god.
Those who survived sacrificed their own lives to activate the formation, perishing together with the evil god.
Therefore, the gods in Heaven did not leave; they all sacrificed themselves.
Chenxiang: "I don't know if there are other evil gods beyond this world. The Heavenly Court must be rebuilt, and there must be someone else to resist the evil gods. The fact that you were able to open this jade tablet of mine means that a god has been born in our world again. The heavy responsibility of rebuilding the Heavenly Court and resisting the evil gods from beyond the realm is entrusted to you."
Shan Qing: "..."
He was just an ordinary mountain god, just an ordinary time traveler, and he couldn't bear such a heavy burden!
Chenxiang: "There is a teleportation array at Guanjiang Estuary of my uncle that leads directly to the Heavenly Court."
Shan Qing: "..."
He used to really want to go to Guanjiangkou to see his idol, but now...
Can he not go?
Having said these words, his power was exhausted, and Chenxiang's celestial spirit dissipated.
Dan Qing's vision blurred, and she was back in reality.
The others all stared intently at Shan Qing.
Dan Qing sighed: "I saw Chen Xiang!" (End of Chapter)
