Chapter 97: The tiger is the fetus, and the tiger roars in the forest
Chen Shi felt a little uneasy. After he woke up from death, he had always dreamed that he could practice again, get rid of his status as a useless person, and have a new divine fetus. Then he could become a scholar, pass the imperial examination, become an official, exploit the people, and let his grandfather live out his days in peace.
But now, grandpa has gone to the underworld, and it seems that there is a big problem with his divine fetus.
It was supposed to be a blessing from the true God, and a divine fetus was born. But now it has become that when you encounter a lonely soul or a divine image, you take it into the temple and make it into a divine fetus!
If there are other gods on the shrine, will the true God still bless the scholar during his divine descent sacrifice?
"I have been worshipping my godmother for more than two years and finally received her blessing, but I don't know whether this blessing is good or bad."
Just as he thought of this, he saw the yellow tiger in the small temple, peeking out from the temple door, looking around, as if it was quite curious about the outside world.
This small temple seemed to have a magical effect, allowing the divine appearance of gods like it that had been unable to condense for a long time to finally condense.
It had never been able to truly stabilize its divine appearance and could have dispersed at any time, but when it arrived at Chen Shi’s small temple, the divine appearance became stable.
The image of the deity with the head of an ox and the body of a man on the shrine also stopped its disintegrating trend. Although it had not yet been completely formed, it was much better than before.
Chen Shi used the mirror to look at the scene in the small temple. He saw three incense sticks inserted in the incense burner, and the aroma of the incense was rapidly flowing towards the statue of the god.
Huang Hu was also observing the mirror in Chen Shi's hand, and seemed very curious about himself in the mirror.
This is an adult tiger, which seems to be quite docile and gradually approaches.
Suddenly, a head as huge as a mountain popped out from the small temple behind Chen Shi, and the shadow covered the mountaintop. A terrifying sense of oppression instantly spread to all the hilltops of Qianyang Mountain!
In front of the temple gate, Hei Guo was confused and thought that his little master had finally lost control. He looked up and saw the tiger's huge head. He immediately lay down on the ground and pretended to be asleep.
The world of the living is too dangerous, Gouzi thought.
At the same time, all the spirits in Qianyang Mountain, big and small, including the godmothers in the surrounding villages, felt the breath of the yellow tiger, which was ancient, immemorial, and powerful.
And behind the yellow tiger, there is another aura like the majestic Qianyang Mountain, solemn and compassionate.
Youcai Village, Hu Family Courtyard.
Granny Sha was visiting here, discussing with Hu Xiaoliang how to lure out the evil spirit from Chen's body, when suddenly the bearded man opposite her stood up abruptly and looked towards the mountains in doubt and surprise.
"Mother-in-law, did you sense it?"
Granny Sha asked in confusion, "What did you sense?"
Suddenly, she also sensed a powerful aura coming from the mountains, which was even not inferior to that of the Great Snake Xuanshan, but it was a bit wilder than that of the Great Snake Xuanshan!
The big snake Xuanshan has experienced the baptism of a long period of time and has become extremely peaceful and calm, but this aura contains extremely violent power!
"There is a creature in the mountain that is comparable to the giant snake Xuanshan!" Granny Sha was extremely surprised.
The big snake Xuanshan is like the spirit of Qianyang Mountain. His cultivation is unfathomable. He can be said to be the strongest master that Grandma Sha has ever seen.
At this moment, the aura emitted by the master in the mountains was actually on par with his, which made Granny Sha marvel at it.
"It's not that powerful aura!"
The bearded man was still in shock and asked, "Did Grandma sense this aura?"
Granny Sha asked in confusion, "What's behind this aura? Old Hu, don't play dumb!"
The big man with curly beard said: "The king of Qianyang Mountain seems to have awakened!"
"What?" Granny Sha's face suddenly changed.
The tiger king of Qianyang Mountain has awakened.
The bearded man immediately stood up and said, "As a citizen of Qianyang Mountain, I must go and pay homage to the mountain king!"
"I'll go with you!" Grandma Sha immediately followed him.
In a village in the mountains, Qingyang stood on his legs, leaning against a tree and drinking tea from a cup. Suddenly, his hand trembled and the cup fell to the ground. He looked up in confusion.
Ordinary people are mortals and cannot see the huge head of the tiger, but they can see the mountain-like head of the yellow tiger, and the shadow it cast almost covers its village.
"Tiger..." it said in doubt.
It got on all fours and headed towards Qianyang Mountain.
Qingyang had just walked out of the village when he suddenly saw the trees in the mountains falling down. An extremely huge old turtle came out from nowhere, shook off the heavy rocks on its body, and spewed thick smoke from its nostrils. It also walked towards the mountain where the Mountain King Temple was located.
"Boom!"
The water level in the mountain stream suddenly increased dramatically, rushing and flooding. However, when it reached the flat ground, it suddenly shrank into a bundle and turned into a long river more than ten feet wide.
There was a flash of silver light in the river, and suddenly a huge creature jumped out of the water, making a deafening dragon roar, like a bull roaring in the mountains, but the sound was extremely loud and deafening.
It was a silver dragon, still a young one, but it could already control the water.
Qingyang had seen her once a hundred years ago, and had no news of her since then. He did not expect that she was still alive.
Along the way, the huge spirit beasts seemed to be summoned and walked towards the Tiger Temple at the same time, and their numbers increased.
Li Xiaozheng, the governor of Xinxiang Province, was sitting in a carriage, driving slowly along the provincial road towards the provincial capital. Many masters of the Li family surrounded the carriage. Suddenly, Li Xiaozheng's voice came from the car: "Stop."
The driver stopped hastily.
Li Xiaozheng lifted the curtain of the carriage, stepped out of it, and looked towards the Qianyang Mountains.
"This breath..."
There was a bright divine light behind his head, and in an instant his spirit soared into the sky, standing in the clouds and looking towards the mountain.
Amid the clouds and mist, he could only see an enormous tiger head roaring in the mountains, awakening countless spirits in the mountains.
Li Xiaozheng was shocked and doubtful, and withdrew his spirit.
"Dad, what happened?" Li Jun stepped forward and asked.
Li Xiaozheng's face was solemn, and he said, "There is a new master in Qianyang Mountain, and he is showing off his aura recklessly. I'm afraid this is not a good thing for our Li family."
He was worried. The Li family tried their best to make him the governor of Xinxiang Province for the wealth in Qianyang Mountain. However, the Li family wanted to make other clans think that their goal was the real king's tomb, but the Li family's goal was actually the Ming treasure ship.
While other noble families were keeping a close eye on the True King's Tomb, they managed to get hold of the Ming treasure ship. By the time these noble families reacted, the treasure ship had already fallen into the hands of the Li family.
However, the changes in Qianyang Mountain this time made him a little worried.
The big snake Xuanshan looked at Huang Hu silently, a little dazed.
When the tiger head poked its head out of the temple, not only him, but all the spirits in the entire Qianyang Mountain felt the call from the ancient True King era.
This call comes not only from blood suppression, but also from the respect of the people. It is the panic of the Ming Dynasty soldiers and migrating people when they boarded the treasure ship across the vast dark sea and came to the New World.
They needed a deity who could help them gain a foothold in the new world and fight against diseases, plagues and evil spirits. This call led them to move a statue of a deity that protected them while they were crossing the sea from the ship, and to build a temple and shrine in Qianyang Mountain, and to place the statue of this deity in the shrine. From then on, there was a deity in Qianyang Mountain that looked out to the sea and protected the mountains, guarding this new hometown of the Ming Dynasty.
He is not only the god guarding the mountains, but also the god who drives away epidemics. He is also the doctor who heals the people of the Ming Dynasty who have landed in Xinxiang from illnesses caused by the long-distance migration.
He is a descendant of Shennong. He cured the yellow tiger and saved the blue dragon. He is in charge of medicine. While helping all living beings, he is also in charge of the nine sun thunder and fire, allowing mortals to have the power to kill gods and immortals.
He is called, the Great Sage of Medicine and Heavenly Physician of the Three Realms, the Great Sage of Kaiyuan Universal Salvation, and the Great Sage of Induction Universal Salvation.
The Lord of Inspiration and Gunpowder, Sun Da Zhenren!
The gunpowder he invented allows mortals to blow up the golden elixirs of cultivators, shatter their Nascent Souls, and shatter their Primordial Spirits!
In the era of the True King, he incarnated and came to Xiniu Island, walking among the mountains, curing illnesses and saving lives, while the yellow tiger that followed him guarded the mountains, dispelled evil spirits and maintained order.
Many of the spirits in Qianyang Mountain are medicinal herbs planted by this mountain king. Now they have become spirits that protect the mountains and rivers and safeguard the local people.
The great snake Xuanshan looked towards the Tiger Temple and silently said in his heart: "Tiger, why are you sleeping? And why are you awake?"
His spirit walked down from the top of his head and transformed into a man in black. He held a stick of incense in his hand and offered a sacrifice from afar, saying, "You are the master of Qianshan, and I am the son of Qianshan. I should offer my incense to the one who gave birth to me and raised me."
Chen Shi also noticed the changes in Qianyang Mountain. Strands of extraordinary power were floating up from the mountain and flying towards the small temple behind his head.
That was the extraordinary power formed by the incense offered by the spirits in the mountains, which poured into his small temple and helped the gods in the temple to form their divine appearances.
Among them are young spirits like the stream girl and the ginseng baby, as well as spirits that have not yet formed such as the giant trees, vines, and strange beasts in the mountains, godmothers who protect people in each village and village, and powerful spirits like the big snake Xuanshan and Grandma Zhuang.
They are the spirits guarding Qianyang Mountain, and they are also the people of Qianyang Mountain, who have benefited from the blessings of this mountain.
We should repay the mountain for the kindness it has given us.
This is the simple value of the spirit.
Chen Shi looked through the mirror and saw that the image of the tiger was solidifying in the shrine of the small temple.
It seems that in just two or three days the image of the tiger god will be completely stable and there is no need to worry about it being destroyed.
"But tomorrow is the day for the results to be announced, and the day after tomorrow is the day for the God's Descent Ceremony. Should I take Shanjun with me to participate in the God's Descent Ceremony?"
Chen Shi was worried. He closed the door of the main hall, walked out of the Tiger Temple, called Hei Guo, and drove down the mountain.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Hei Guo became nervous. He stood in front of the wooden cart and barked at the mountains.
Chen Shi sat on the cart and felt that the wooden cart was vibrating slightly. The frequency of the vibration was getting faster and faster, and the amplitude was getting bigger and bigger.
He was still in wonder when he saw the spiritual beasts all over the mountains ahead running towards him, sweeping across the hills and destroying the jungle like a flood.
"With so many spirit beasts, if one of them steps on me, I'm afraid they can crush me into mud!"
Chen Shi was just about to start the wooden cart and drive it at full speed when suddenly the sky became unusually bright. He looked up and saw a blazing fire from the sky heading straight for Qianyang Mountain. Behind the fire was a billowing black smoke that was several miles long. Judging from the direction of the fire, it was the Shanjun Temple!
"Xiao Shi, why are you here?" came the voice of Grandma Sha.
Chen Shi hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Granny Sha holding a small basket and standing on the forehead of a huge white fox. The white fox had a circle of black hair under its neck and nine tails behind it, looking very ominous, and was also running towards the Tiger Temple.
"don't want--"
A human voice came out of the white fox's mouth, vaguely the voice of a bearded man.
Chen Shi also saw a giant green sheep running wildly in the herd. The front body of the green sheep was extremely strong, with bony muscles. Its horns were like extremely sharp knives, but the knives were fifteen or sixteen feet long, and its claws were like scimitars. Ordinary spirit beasts did not dare to approach it.
"Uncle Qingyang!"
Chen Shi was puzzled. Why were they here?
The green sheep leaped up with all its might, stepped on the auspicious clouds, lowered its head and tried to crash into the fire coming from the sky, even as if it wanted to knock the fire away!
However, the flames came with great force, coming down at an angle and accelerating continuously, and Qingyang had no time to hit the flames!
The white fox howled and wagged its tail. The sky above seemed like glass, shattering into pieces. The space collapsed, and countless sharp fragments tried to block the fire.
But I saw flames roaring, passing through countless space fragments, and coming near the mountain temple!
Many spirit beasts roared, some offered up their inner elixirs, some activated their innate magical powers, and some flew up together and crashed into the fire, but it was too late.
In the mountain temple, the extremely ancient giant tree suddenly became extremely lush, and its crown became larger and larger, like a giant umbrella holding up the sky, trying to block the flames.
It was an apricot tree, which had spirituality and was trying to protect the Mountain God Temple at that moment. However, the next moment, flames penetrated the crown of the apricot tree and hit the Mountain God Temple.
An extremely bright light came from the impact point, which was extremely dazzling. Then a blazing fireball shot up into the sky, mountains were shattered, and countless huge rocks flew into the air.
The extremely scorching hot wind expanded, carrying unimaginable power from outer space, and rushed in all directions!
Many spiritual beasts were directly ignited by the flames, and their flesh and blood turned to ashes in an instant, leaving only the bones standing in place. But the next moment, the bones turned red in the scorching hot wind and burned to ashes.
Chen Shi jumped out of the car, saved the black pot, and held the big dog in his arms. He was about to fight to the death against the erosion of the heat wave, but suddenly the wind and the sea were calm. He looked hurriedly and saw huge hexagrams of different lengths, whirring around him, blocking the hot wind.
Chen Shi let go of the pot, still in shock.
But seeing huge rocks falling from the sky, the surviving spirit beasts were running wildly to avoid the falling rocks. Some of them didn't have time to dodge and were smashed to pieces, with flesh and blood all over the place.
The hot wind soon passed, and Chen Shi looked towards the top of the mountain, only to see that the mountain that emerged from the ground had been cut in half, with black smoke billowing from the broken mountaintop. As for the mountain temple and the huge apricot tree, they had been reduced to ashes.
He was very familiar with this scene.
When he and his grandfather went to the Moon Festival, a small hill appeared from the ground. On the hill was a dilapidated temple. He practiced in the hill, and the sun shone through the temple. When he was going down the hill in the early morning, a stream of fire fell from the sky. The fire was a meteorite, which hit the dilapidated temple and destroyed the hill.
Now, this scene is happening again!
Chen Shi suddenly remembered what his grandfather said when he returned home.
"There are so many things like this in Xiniu Island."
Grandpa has seen many similar things.
Now, he witnessed it again.
The sound of the explosion made Chen Shi's ears buzz. He could not hear Grandma Sha's voice, but could only see her anxious face. She was saying something to him, as if asking if he was injured.
Uncle Qingyang stood in the air and cursed, pointing to the sky and the ground, spitting out dirty words, but he still couldn't hear it.
The white fox staggered over, looking distraught. Suddenly, it glared at the distant mountain and loudly questioned the big snake Xuanshan, as if blaming Xuanshan for not blocking the fire.
Chen Shi's ears were still buzzing.
As grandpa said, there were indeed many similar incidents in Xiniu Xinzhou, but at that time grandpa and his colleagues were powerless and failed to save the gods in those temples.
but……
"I saved him." Chen Shi was inexplicably happy and said silently in his heart.
