Taoist temple in the mountains

Chapter 82, Mountain Spirit

Beside the small pavilion next to the main hall of the Taoist temple.

The scent of the clear-leaf light tea was steaming, and Miss Shanling was also sipping the clear tea carefully.

It wasn't until here that Li Yun discovered that the mountain spirit girl had a body, not a pure soul, and she could still be seen even with the Celestial Eye closed.

It's just that after Li Yun stared at it for a long time, the mountain spirit would become transparent, and finally dissipate, looking as if he was shy, and lowered his head from time to time.

The conclusion is that this mountain spirit can see it if it wants you to see it, and it can’t be seen if it wants you to see it. One, when he wants you to see him, he can see him at any time, but if he doesn't want you to see him, how can you not see him.

"The water is delicious. I have never drank such delicious water before." The little girl Shan Ling held the hot tea in her hands and pursed her mouth slightly.

"Have you never drank tea before?" Li Yun was a little curious. Tea culture is one of the treasures of ancient Chinese civilization. The food culture has been passed down from the past to the present. Even if it is a mountain spirit, it is impossible not to drink tea. In the past, in the worship culture, tea and wine were also indispensable things, not one of them.

This Xiangtou Mountain was also dedicated to the father-in-law of the land a long time ago, but as time passed, because more and more people believed in the core values ​​of materialism, the land temple was directly abandoned, and it had even been demolished before. A small land spirit tablet is enshrined.

It's just that no one worships the Lord of the Land anymore.
Shan Ling nodded, and then said timidly: "Well, before I died, Miss invited me to drink tea. Although it was delicious, it was not as good as this cup."

before death?
The system continues at this time.

"The so-called mountain spirits used to be called mountain gods. Higher ones can become spirits from the dragon veins of one land, or they can be bound to the land after death like her and not reincarnated in the reincarnation department. They can be called higher-level earth-bound ones." Spirits, also known as mountain gods, were in charge of the land's veins and feng shui in the past."

Li Yun had an idea, and asked in doubt: "In the past?"

"With the continuous development of science and technology, the human way prospers, and the divine way recedes. Many things that only the gods can do can be done by humans themselves. The weather is smooth, the land is fertile, and all things grow, all of which can be adjusted from a scientific point of view. For example, the land Fertilizers can be used for fertilization, artificial rainfall can be achieved when the weather is favorable, artificial reproduction and release can be achieved for human beings, deforestation can be punished by laws, and there are many more things that can be done by humans.” The system paused, and then said: “This world There is no need for mountain spirits anymore, including this mountain spirit, which has lost its original control and power over the mountain, but as a high-level earth-bound spirit, it can appear anywhere on the mountain at will, and can leave the bondage within a certain period of time land."

Li Yun understood. To put it simply, Shanling land is now unemployed and laid off, and it no longer manages a land area like before.

"Then how should these mountain spirits who have lost their god status be dealt with?" Li Yun asked doubtfully.

"Reincarnation, these mountain spirits will be reincarnated, or ascend to heaven and transform, no matter what they choose, it depends on themselves. There are also small mountain spirits like this one who stay in the world. They become mountain spirits for some reasons, but they did not reincarnate for some reasons , did not ascend to heaven, but remained in the human world." The system said lightly.

Looking at the beautiful and lovely little mountain spirit in front of him, Li Yun also understood that he had an obsession in his heart and was unwilling to be reincarnated, waiting silently in the world.

"Brother, who were you talking to just now? It's scary, is there a ghost?" Xiao Shanling shrank back, with a frightened expression.

Li Yun looked at the little mountain spirit and was speechless. Aren't you yourself a ghost mountain god? What does it mean to be afraid of ghosts?
"Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, the poor are just talking to themselves, don't take it to heart." Li Yun sat cross-legged on the futon and smiled faintly.

Looking at Li Yun's healing smile, Xiao Shanling also calmed down. She didn't feel the trembling feeling just now, but she was still extremely nervous, sitting upright, without any sense of god at all. She looked like a little girl next door in the countryside. Same.

"What's your name?" Li Yun asked a moment later.

"My name is Hanxiang, how about you Daoist brother?" Xiao Shanling asked.

"Pindao Daohao Dan Ziyun, you can call me Daoist Yun, or you can continue to call me big brother." Li Yun waved his whisk and said with a faint smile: "How did you find the Taoist temple of Poverty?"

Li Yun grew up here, but he has never encountered a mountain spirit or anything. If it was going to appear, it would have appeared a long time ago, so why wait until now.

"I don't know. Anyway, I know this is here, so I came here. As for why I came here, Hanxiang doesn't know." Hanxiang Xiaoshanling lowered his head, he came here for nothing, isn't he looking for trouble.

Immediately, Li Yun thought of the "Book of Saving Human Beings" to attract ghosts to Taoist temples. At this time, the "Book of Saving Human Beings" finally played its due role, but it was not ghosts that were attracted, but mountain gods.

"Pindao is a Taoist temple here, which can be used for worshiping gods, offering incense, praying to gods, and you can also seek luck from the poor." Li Yun smiled slightly, and at the same time secretly thought that there should be no taboo for the unemployed gods to worship gods.

"Is it possible to pray to gods here? Like those temples?" Han Xiang's eyes suddenly brightened a little, full of hope.

Li Yun nodded, no matter whether it works or not, the job of the Taoist temple is to burn incense and pray for people.

"How much incense money will it cost? I can't afford ten taels of silver now." Han Xiang lowered her head and rubbed her fingers, looking very nervous, she didn't have any incense money with her now.

"The amount of incense is only at the discretion of the layman, and there is no mandatory requirement for how much." Li Yun laughed.

"Huh? I thought you still need ten taels of silver to worship a temple. Other temples require ten taels of silver." Han Xiang's eyes sparkled and he said, "Big brother is really a good person."

Immediately, the little girl Hanxiang took a copper coin from her neck with great care and attention, and the four characters [Kaiyuan Tongbao] were engraved on this copper coin.

Hanxiang came to the main hall of the Taoist temple, threw the copper coin into the cash box, and knelt down quietly to worship.

"Gods and Buddhas all over the sky, all gods, please help the little girl if you hear it"

"Please advise the little girl on what to do."

The years are quiet, and the girl in a white embroidered skirt worships quietly.

Li Yun opened his Celestial Eyes and saw that the statues of the Three Blessings on the portrait did not respond, and there was no luck feedback, but a golden edge extended from Han Xiang's body.
