In late autumn, it is already very cold in the mountains.

It is often foggy in Yishan, and in the early morning of late autumn, even on a sunny day, the mountain fog is thick. Lin Jue got up very early, pushed the door and went out, and saw that the entire courtyard was shrouded in thick fog, and he could not see the houses opposite, or even the courtyard.

The ancient pine trees in the middle were also difficult to see clearly under the thick fog and dim light of the early morning. Only their outlines could be seen.

It’s really easy to sleep in this season and temperature.

Fuyao was in a daze and wanted to sleep for a while, but Lin Jue went out to cook, so he had no choice but to shake his head and get up to follow.

I couldn't help but fall over while walking, but there was no other way.

Fortunately, the stove was warm and it was easy to sleep.

Lin Jue walked along the eaves, but before he reached the stove room, there was a knock on the door outside.

"who?"

It's obviously not human at this early date.

Even if you come from a village at the foot of the mountain or another Taoist temple in the mountain, if you arrive at the gate of Fuqiu Temple so early, you still have to leave in the middle of the night.

However, Lin Jue was not timid and calmly opened the door.

With a creak, the door opened.

The mountains, fog and rain outside are heavier.

What came into view were two lanterns. When the wind blew and the fog dispersed a little, I saw two spirits holding lanterns behind them: a clouded leopard standing as tall as a man, and a tall and thin macaque. They were holding lanterns.

He stood at the door without saying a word, staring at Lin Jue.

Lin Jue then knew——

This is the messenger sent by the mountain god to pick them up.

"So early..."

But it’s not easy to grind anymore.

"Please wait a moment. I'm not the only one going there. I also want to call my junior sister and senior brother."

After Lin Jue finished speaking, he walked back.

The clouded leopard and the macaque turned to look at each other without saying anything. They continued to stand silently in the mist outside the door holding a lantern, motionless. When they discovered that the Taoist priest had left a fox behind, squatting on the ground and watching them, they started again.

He lowered his head silently and looked at the fox.

As soon as Lin Jue walked back to the inner courtyard, his junior sister had already gone out rubbing her eyes. She and Lin Jue had similar schedules and were going to light the fire and make breakfast.

Lin Jue woke up the third senior brother again.

The three of them hurriedly packed up and went out.

The two envoys also walked back.

The fog on the mountain was really thick, and the early morning light was already dark, and now it was even more hazy and hazy. Fortunately, the two envoys carried lanterns, and everything became clear wherever the lanterns illuminated.

The two envoys took them deep into Yishan Mountain.

At first, we took the same road that Taoists from Fuqiu Temple often take to go up the mountain or to Xianyuan Temple, but not long after we walked, we took another road.

The Taoists of Fuqiu Temple often go walking in the mountains. They are very clear about the roads in each nearby mountain, and even the places where there are no roads but are passable. However, the road that the mountain god's messenger takes them to take is by no means anything they are familiar with.

A road, because this road did not exist before.

This is a straight path.

The messenger held the lantern and just moved forward. No matter where he went, wherever the light shone, whether there were thorns, old trees, or even weeds and dead branches on the ground, they all automatically moved out of the way to form a path.

The previously steep places in everyone's memory have become smoother, and the impassable places have become passable. Even places that were originally cliffs and cracked abyss now have more roads.

As the three people and one fox walked, they looked around, looked at each other, and made eye contact.

The messenger said nothing, but was very patient. If he found that they could not keep up, he would stop and wait deep in the mist ahead with a lantern, and wait until they approached before continuing to move forward.

There are often ancient pines in the mountains, either growing on the road or taking root between the boulders and cliffs.

As the messenger of the mountain god walked, he occasionally passed by the ancient pine trees beside him. Where the lantern shone, the ancient pine trees immediately turned from green to red, and the color was just like the pine flowers in spring and summer.

When the junior sister saw this, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Lin Jue——

Senior brother, do you think what I said before was right?

Lin Jue noticed her gaze and naturally knew what the junior sister wanted to say at this time, but just smiled and did not answer.

Gradually the sky became brighter and brighter, and the fog became lighter.

Lin Jue and the others walked to the bottom of the valley, feeling a little tired. They could roughly tell where they were by looking at the tall and straight stone mountains that looked like bamboo shoots pointing straight to the sky.

I couldn't help but stop and look up at the mountains. It was tilted upwards. All kinds of strange mountains were covered with ancient pines and rugged rocks. The blue sky and white clouds were faintly visible behind them. They were unbelievably tall. In comparison, the people walking among them were unbelievable.

People are too small and have a strong sense of oppression.

"call……"

All three of them couldn't help but gasp.

If it were an ordinary person walking here, I don’t know how many times I would have rested along the way.

The three of them never rested.

When I looked up, I saw a clouded leopard and a macaque standing on the road ahead holding lanterns. They turned sideways and looked back at them. The three of them looked at each other and then continued to follow.

Only the fox was not tired and jumped lightly among the strange rocks.

Before I knew it, I had reached the halfway point of Lianhua Peak.

Passing through the pass between Lianhua Peak and Lianrui Peak, the line of sight widens. This is a good location to view Tiandu Peak, but today it is very cloudy and foggy, making it difficult to see. The three of us have been to this place many times, and in memory it should be next to it.

It's just a stone wall, but now there's an extra passage.

The passage seemed like the rocks split apart, revealing stone steps, leading straight to the Lotus Peak. However, there were ancient pine trees growing beside it, with their branches sticking out, as if to welcome them.

The messenger of the mountain god walked forward with a lantern.

After passing through the passage, there is a different world.

Like in the Lotus Peak, or like above the clouds, between the majestic and strange mountains guarded like petals, suddenly there is a palace with a simple style, and there are stone steps born from the granite leading to the depths of the palace.

There are lamp posts on both sides of the stone steps, like jade pavilions.

There are also stone carvings, representing various mountain spirits.

Until we came to a palace.

"Squeak..."

The messenger held the wooden pole and stretched out the lantern. As soon as the light was reflected, the palace door opened, but they stood at the door, turning their heads to look at the three people and the fox, but did not enter.

"Thank you both."

The three of them thanked them and then entered.

The palace looks luxurious from the outside, but there are not many furnishings inside. There is only a couch at the top. There are two people sitting on the couch, a middle-aged man wearing ancient Chinese clothes, and a graceful woman wearing a dress that shows her figure.

The green and shiny clothes resembled the feathers of a peacock.

There were four monsters standing on both sides, all of them transformed into human forms, but not completely.

They are blue lion, white elephant, falcon and black bear.

Not only were these four monsters extremely tall, like hills and giants, the three of them had no choice but to raise their heads when they looked at them. Their aura was also extremely terrifying and had a strong sense of oppression. What is conceivable is that they did not completely transform into human forms.

It’s definitely not because of insufficient cultivation and moral conduct.

Even the usually bold fox had no choice but to stare at them quietly.

"I've seen the mountain god."

The voice of the third senior brother came from the front.

"I've seen the mountain god."

"I've seen the mountain god!"

Lin Jue and the others then followed, one after the other.

"No need to be polite."

The voice of the mountain god came from above. It was as loud as a mountain collapse and echoed endlessly, but it was somewhat peaceful. After speaking, he asked: "Are you the Taoists on Fuqiu Peak?"

"Exactly."

"Hahaha..." The mountain god smiled, "Last year in the cold winter, your Taoist temple cooked meat. The taste was very rare. Who cooked it and what was used to cook the meat?"

When the three of them heard this, they were all startled.

I immediately remembered that snowy and cold night.

Could it be that the person who knocked on the door of the Taoist temple that night and begged for meat was not an ordinary spirit, but one sent by the mountain god?

While he was thinking about it, two eyes were already cast towards Lin Jue.

"Reporting to the mountain god, I cooked it and stewed it with some spices, so it tastes very strange and is not often eaten in the world below the mountain," Lin Jue said.

“It tastes okay.”

The mountain god raised his head and let out a cheerful laugh, and then got down to business: "I heard from you that the world below the mountain has changed again, and there are even strange things that may affect me, Yishan?"

"Yes, now the imperial court has become corrupt again, and it's almost time for the world to be in turmoil again."

Lin Jue didn't know how long this Yishan Mountain had existed, nor how long the Yishan Mountain God had existed, so he had no choice but to tell him the truth about what happened at the foot of the mountain.

I won’t mention my own conjectures.

After hearing this, the mountain god fell into deep thought.

After a long time, another voice came:

"To put it this way, I'm afraid it's not simple. If it affects the entire Huizhou area, if you don't discover it in time and leave it alone, it may also affect Yishan. You should be remembered for your contribution."

"I just informed the mountain god that I hope to take action early to avoid trouble." said the third senior brother.

"Thank you to the mountain god." Lin Jueze said.

"Don't worry too much. Even if there is a demon king, if he has not reached the realm of ancient power, he will not offend me at will in Yishan Mountain."

The mountain god glanced at Lin Jue, then at the third senior brother, thought for a moment and said:

“But we have to guard against it.

"Fuqiu Peak is at the outermost edge of Yishan Mountain. If it is affected, you are indeed vulnerable to disaster. In this case, I will give you a token to take with you. If any monster offends and comes to Yishan Mountain, you can hold it.

As a token, recite my divine name, the mountain god of Yishan, and my divine power will come immediately. You can also be considered as a guard for me, Yishan."

The mountain god waved his sleeves.

An object flew towards Lin Jue.

Lin Jue was a little surprised and reached out to take it. It was a token as big as a palm.

The token is made of metal. I don’t know what it is. It seems to be heavier than ordinary steel, but it is not as good as gold and silver. It has the charm of mountains and rivers.

"When you walk in the mountains, the forest will naturally open a path. Even if you leave Yishan Mountain, it still has my magical power and can suppress evil spirits."

"Thank you, mountain god."

"I am not a human being, so I don't need to adhere to the traditional etiquette of the world."

The mountain god took another look at him, then looked at the fox sitting obediently beside him, and suddenly smiled: "You are not an ordinary fox monster."

"I don't know, junior." Lin Jue happened to ask for advice, "Please ask the mountain god for advice."

"Every time the world changes, kings and gods change, there are always immortals who realize the Tao. Practice well and don't forget your true heart. Maybe he is among you." There was a lot of emotion in the voice of the mountain god, as if he had seen it all before, and then he waved to them.

He waved his sleeves and said, "Go back."

There was a little light coming from behind.

The three of them looked back, and at some point, the clouded leopard and the macaque holding the lantern were already standing behind them.

The mountain god did not inform him.

Lin Jue had no choice but to salute:

"Farewell."

"Although I am not a human being and do not need to adhere to the traditional rituals of the world, I am a god and have nothing to do in my free time. You can worship me."

"Respect the law and decree."

The three of them had no choice but to follow the two envoys and walk out. When they turned around at the door, they saw that the mountain god, concubine, and four tall monster guardians behind them had all turned into stone sculptures.

Lin Jue clenched the token in his hand.

This mountain god is surprisingly kind.

I suddenly thought of the words in the book——

"It is said that the four mountains and the five mountains all have gods. Among them, the gods of the five mountains are holy and wise, and the gods of the four mountains are kind. Now it seems that the gods of Yishan also have their own style."

Lin Jue murmured to himself.

This mountain god did not live the same life as Mount Yi, but he was also an elf born in the mountain. After practicing for a long time, he was worshiped by fertilized monsters and became the god of the mountain. After that, I don’t know how many years passed.

Such a mountain god has infinite power as long as he is in the mountain. Unless he has the power to shatter the aura of the entire mountain, nothing can be done to him.

But this is both divine power and imprisonment.

The mountain god is the god of the earth and cannot leave at will. Although he can sit and watch the changes in the wind and clouds and the ups and downs of the world, he is still rooted here. Many things can only be heard and seen, and he cannot personally participate in and experience them. Most of them are boring.

No wonder he has a long life, but he asks for meat to taste and sacrifice from them.

When we walked out of the mountain, the clouds and fog had already dispersed, and the sky and the earth were wide open.

…

When I returned to Fuqiu Temple, it was already noon. I first told all the brothers and master about my meeting with the mountain god today, and then I placed the token of the mountain god in the temple and enshrined it in the Banshan Hall.

In this way, no matter who finds something strange, they can return to the temple and ask for help from the mountain god.

Moreover, the mountain god said that this token has the effect of suppressing evil spirits. Although I don’t know how to use it or how useful it is, it will not be a bad thing if anyone goes down the mountain to eliminate evil spirits and takes it with them.

It can also be regarded as the blessing of the mountain god.
