Chapter 955: For God, one should seek incense

Tianyun's state at the moment was very strange, as if he was half asleep and half awake. Upon hearing this, he really didn't want to drink the cup of tea anymore, but picked it up and fed it to the unconscious Yang Qingqing.

The tea seemed to be filled with pure and elegant light, shining with a light that was invisible to the naked eye, like stars and moonlight, flowing into Yang Qingqing's lips and teeth.

Afterwards, he didn't know if it was Tianyun's illusion, but he felt that inexplicable changes seemed to have taken place in Yang Qingqing's body. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth gradually gathered and cleansed her body.

The mortal body, which was originally full of acquired impurities, began to emit an extremely pure aura.

There is no doubt that this cup of tea with a fragrant aroma is a rare opportunity in the world.

"A cup of Bodhi water can dispel a thousand disasters and gather wisdom. I will not stop you anymore, go on...someone is waiting for you at the top of the mountain."

Seeing that his task had been completed, the old man in brocade clothes smiled kindly, picked up the teapot, shook it carefully a few times, listened to the sound of the water inside, and revealed an extremely satisfied smile.

In front of Tianyun, he actually took the pot of tea as if it were a treasure.

Then, he turned around, turned into a wisp of white mist, and disappeared into the pavilion.

Tianyun was a little dazed. He carried Yang Qingqing on his back, walked out of the pavilion, and continued walking towards the top of the mountain.

Although he didn't get to drink the tea, just by smelling a whiff of its refreshing fragrance, his body felt as if a long-drought had finally brought him some strength.

After walking a long way, he seemed to sense something and looked back.

There was no pavilion on the mountain road along the way, only a green forest with dense weeds.

For some reason, Tianyun always had a premonition that the old man in brocade clothes just now might be the mountain god of this place.

However, it seemed as if a mysterious voice told him that he still had to go to the top of the mountain to find Yang Qingqing's soul.

"Maybe he is some strange person... If he is really the mountain god of this place, why would he help me?"

Tianyun's consciousness was a little fuzzy, and he couldn't quite understand what had just happened. He could only shake his head, carry Yang Qingqing's body on his back, and continue walking towards the top of the mountain.

I don’t know how long I walked, but this peaceful uphill road gradually helped Tianyun regain his composure.

The closer he got to the top of the mountain, the clearer distant memories began to reappear in his mind.

A thick thorn bush grew in the weeds. Most of its kind were cleared away by the people who went up the mountain. Only this one was spared because it was hidden by the weeds.

As the days and nights rotated in an endless cycle, nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and as guided by the previous God of Tianyun Mountain, a tiny spirituality was born in the roots of the thorns.

Most of the various plants in the mountains do not live to see the birth of spirituality. They are either picked and cut down by human beings, or become food for other creatures, or... they fall over the years, and completely disappear after several cycles of withering and flourishing.

Still, it is the only one that is lucky enough to survive, and it uses the thorns all over its body to avoid being harmed by other creatures.

After countless years, the spiritual creatures in the mountain reproduced and died out gradually. The mountain god also made a serious mistake by mistake and was taken to heaven by the Heavenly Court, where he died under the Immortal Beheading Guillotine.

The thorns continued to grow ignorantly, their roots densely spread underground, unaware that the mountain god was dead.

Until the day when it successfully cultivated into a human body, golden light descended from the sky, and five pieces of golden paper fell to the mortal world, accompanied by an oral instruction...it became the new god of Tianyun Mountain.

For 'wild' creatures like these that become gods, if they had no name before, then the name of their divine position almost represents their real name.

Only then did Tianyun realize that he was the only intelligent creature left in the entire Tianyun Mountain. The others were either punished like the previous mountain god, or fell into the path of demons and wandered the world without a trace.

From spirit to god, it also became him, the god of Tianyun Mountain.

Later, after a period of ups and downs that he was not willing to recall, Tianyun studied the "etiquette" of the gods in heaven, and gradually learned how to be a "qualified" mountain god.

Although the gold paper was incomplete, it roughly stated the virtues that a god in heaven should have and the rules that he should abide by; and the gods in heaven told him that since he had become a god, he should consider heaven and earn more incense from the human world, which would not only strengthen himself, but also make heaven more glorious.

Those who serve the gods should seek incense and offerings.

These words accompanied the God of Tianyun Mountain throughout his life.

In the early days, for thousands of years, he worked diligently and tried every possible way, but he could not make any achievements in the matter of incense.

Those old-time mountain and river gods always warned him not to be too obvious.

Tianyun didn't understand at that time. He thought that the predecessors didn't want him to be in the spotlight, so he became more cautious. Even though he wanted to get closer to the mortal world down the mountain and understand them, he gave up this idea because he was "warned".

It was not until 10,000 years after he became a god that he accidentally learned a more "quick and effective" method from the nearby mountain and river gods, and then he suddenly realized it.

It turns out that if there is not enough incense, just create some disasters, and those mortal creatures will come to offer sacrifices by crying and shouting.

As long as people don't know the truth, won't the devout incense sticks continue to come?

So... this is what the warning about not being too obvious meant.

Tianyun felt that he had realized something, and in order to integrate into the circle of those seniors and not be excluded, he also began to join them with a smile.

At the beginning, he still felt compassion for those ordinary creatures because it was as if he saw his former self in them.

Being ignorant and naive, facing sudden disasters or blessings, one can only endure silently and choose to adapt, and even in the end, one does not know why.

But gradually, he got used to it and even became more vicious.

Tianyun spent tens of thousands of years gradually spreading his name in the nearby areas, suppressing other mountain and river gods, and inducing mortals to establish the imperial capital of the country at the foot of Tianyun Mountain to ensure his own prosperity.

Later, he still envied those noble immortals in the sky, and his ambition grew. He was not satisfied with being a mountain god, and gradually set his sights on the path of advancement.

He also wanted to go to heaven and become a high-ranking official in the mountain tribe, to manage the mountain and river gods who were high above the mortal world.

Such ambitions lasted for ten thousand years. He became more and more familiar with those shady means, and joined forces with other mountain and river gods, reaping and scheming again and again. Although he still had to dedicate most of the merit and golden light to the immortals to share, his priesthood still advanced to a level of nearly seventh grade.

Until the kingdom at the foot of the mountain was changed to Dayue Kingdom, until a young immortal god traveled to the human world...

Everything has changed.

That guy didn't know any rules, couldn't understand hints, and was terribly stupid. For a group of ant-like creatures, he actually started a battle with me in the mountain, and fought until he was bloody.

But the young immortal succeeded, and pulled him down from the altar, and even to punish him, stripped him of everything he had and threw him into the "Mortal Purgatory".

"Li...Li Yuan..."

The moment he reached the top of the mountain, Tianyun felt a pain in his head as if the world was collapsing. He muttered and recited the long-forgotten name.
