Chapter 184
Lebin is a city with more plains than other cities.

Except Kim Soo.

Jinxiu is an area inhabited by the local Yao people. It is located in the northeast of Leibin. Nearly [-]% of the territory is mountainous and hilly. It can be said that it is a city built in the mountains.

The city center is located in the canyon river area.

It is said to be a city, but it is actually a small town with a population of less than 15. It is only six kilometers from the beginning to the end along the main road.

Small and small, it is actually a very interesting place.

The residents here are composed of Yao, Tong, Miao, Dong, etc. Among them, the Yao nationality is the largest, accounting for more than one-third.

The folk worship of Yao folk gods is even more serious than that of other minorities, and there are as many as seven or eight hundred gods worshiped.

There are three main categories:
One is the ancestor god, such as the ancestor of the Yao people, King Pan;

The second is local patron saints, such as Shegong, Tudi, Linggong, Sanjiegong, Ganwang, and Kaishanzu;

The third is the family patron saint, such as Kitchen God, Door God, God of Wealth, and Thunder King.

Except for the ancestor god, there is no strict boundary between the local patron saint and the family patron saint.

But the choice of the house god is not random.

Take Shanziyao of the Yao nationality as an example. If you want to divination through the master, you should respect whoever you think is suitable.On New Year's Day or when the family is uneasy, they burn incense paper to worship the gods, praying for their spirits to bless them, eliminate disasters and bring blessings.

Since the god of deceit is mentioned, besides the god, there is naturally a deceit.

But these weirdnesses are different from ordinary weirdness.

You must know that the so-called gods in the folk often do not just refer to immortals in a narrow sense.

All gods, immortals, ghosts, monsters, witches, illusions, etc., with "divine nature" can all be called gods.

Gui, who can be regarded as a home god for a long time, has been worshiped by people for a long time, and is tainted with incense, so he has a little more divinity.

Of course, this kind of god is just a false god, and it is far worse than the righteous god.It can be understood as another group of practitioners of a different race from the human race.

……

There are many mountains, so there are many strange things.

On Jinxiu's Dayao Mountain, there are things including but not limited to mountain spirits, foxes and the like.

Some are good and some are evil.

Those who do evil will naturally be punished, while those who do good are usually transformed into earth-bound spirits to live in other people's homes to keep them safe.

This kind is also called Baojiaxian in the Northeast, and the family protector in the South.

Such as the more common Hu Huang Chang Python, Qingfeng Guizhu, Liu Baihui and so on.

They all mean the same thing.

Fox tricks are the most common of them.

The so-called foxes are animals such as foxes, weasels, and civet cats.

This kind of ghost has a characteristic that it can be attached to dishes, bowls, pens and other things that humans often use, and incarnate as "pen fairy" and "dish fairy".

The more common ones are the foxes that foxes turn into after death. They often have achieved success in cultivation during their lifetime, but instead of going to reincarnation after death, they guard their family in exchange for the merits of heaven and earth.

After all, foxes are relatively smart and belong to the canine family, and their appearance is a little more pleasing than other animals. They know how to choose a cultivation method that is beneficial to them.

There are similar records in ancient books such as "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" and "Yuewei Thatched Cottage Notes".

Even the Civil Affairs Bureau will choose to be lenient in such a situation.

It's similar to the difference between a stray dog ​​and a pet dog. The latter has been certified and vaccinated, and the status is different, and the treatment is different.

Of course, if the family protector does something bad, he will also be taken in.

……

Thanks to the government,
In recent years, Dayao Mountain has been developed a lot of tourism resources. Foreign tourists come to play on holidays, and the people in the mountain take the opportunity to sell their own local products. Life is much better than before.

Shen An and Shen Ning's parents are the beneficiaries.

Set up stalls in the market during the day to sell various small handicrafts, sign up to participate in ethnic cultural performances at night, and earn two shares of money.

As for the two brothers and sisters, when they came home from school at night, after eating and finishing their homework, they would obediently take a bath and watch TV, and then went to bed at some point.

Because they live in the mountains, people seldom go out at night, and close the doors and windows after dark.

In recent years, tourists from outside have come in. In order to drive the local economy, the government has only developed cultural performances with ethnic characteristics at night.

On this day, Shen An and Shen Ning, two elementary school students, as usual, finished their homework, took a shower, watched TV for a while, and then got ready for bed.

Shen Ning was young, just when he was lethargic, he fell asleep when he lay down.

As the eldest brother, Shen An made sure to close the doors and windows before going to sleep.The parents brought the keys, and they would open the door by themselves when they came back.

Just as Shen An was lying down, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

"Who?"

Shen An was puzzled and went to the living room to ask.

No one should.

He thought he heard it wrong, and was going to go back and lie down and continue to sleep.

Then I heard the knock on the door again.

"Who's outside?!"

Shen An's voice raised a bit.

Still no one responded.

He was a little nervous and didn't dare to open the door.

Although he is only ten years old, he is smart and has a sense of vigilance.

He was curious again, so he looked out through the peephole on the door, and he met an eye lying on the door.

"what!"

Shen An was so frightened that he backed away and fell to the ground. He was in a bad state, startled and angry, and wanted to open the door with a stick to drive away the guy who scared him outside.

"Just don't go out, it can't get in!"

At this moment, an old voice suddenly came from the ear.

Shen An's hairs stood on end, he turned his head and saw a fat old fox sitting on his shrine.

Why do you say fat?
Because he had never seen such a round fox with the shape of a pig.

Why do you say old?
Its demeanor and expression make it look like an elderly man, especially the few beards and eyebrows, half of which are white.

Shen An's eyes widened, and he subconsciously shrank back.

What is this? !

……

The fat fox was very unhappy with his fearful expression: "I have stayed in your house for so many years, and you still don't know me?"

"You are……?"

Shen An hesitated.

The fat fox was furious and cursed: "Don't you know how to read? You don't know the name of the family god you worship?"

Shen An saw the God's Lord card next to it, and he was stunned for a moment before he realized: "You are Mr. Hu? It turns out that Hu means fox."

He just said, why would he enshrine a tablet surnamed Hu when his family name is Lu.

I also asked my parents before, but they would only say that this is the god of the house, don't be rude, but never tell him other information.

Dare to feel that Mr. Hu is a fox.

The fat fox snorted softly: "If it weren't for the sake of you being a child, if someone else pointed at me, I would have slapped him long ago."

Knowing that it is the family god enshrined by her family, Shen An felt relieved.

Children of the Yao nationality have been exposed to concepts such as family gods, land protection gods, and ancestor gods since they were young. In addition, they are still young, so they are not afraid, but more curious.

So he asked, "Grandpa Hu, what's outside the door?"

"Traveler."

"What is a traveler?"

Although the fat fox looked proud, he explained patiently: "It is the master who leads the soldiers and horses. After he died, there was no one to inherit his mantle, so he wandered around to see if he could find a successor. It seems that he is interested in you." gone."

Fancy me?
Shen An didn't understand anything else, except the last sentence.

Thinking of that terrifying eye, I trembled with fright.

What kind of traveler, could it be that he wants to capture and eat him?

The fat fox was about to laugh at him, but suddenly his face changed slightly, his figure disappeared from the shrine, and then appeared at the door, stretched out his claws, and kicked the foot that stepped in.

The fur on the fox's tail exploded directly.

Shen An stared blankly for a while, not knowing what was going on.

The fat fox had a serious expression at this moment.

The strength of this traveler is stronger than it imagined.If it was its heyday, I wouldn't care, but now it's just a fox ghost.

Mana is limited.

And there is no military and horse altar in the family's house, this wanderer must be driven away, otherwise it will try its best to attach itself to the two children.

The child is weak and can't bear it. If it is light, it will be a serious illness, and if it is serious, it will die.

The time has come to act as a household god.

Fighting!

Winner stays!

For the old fox, he definitely couldn't lose. If he lost, he would have done nothing for so many years.It does not enter reincarnation after death, so it must come to be the household god of mortals?

One is incense, and the other is merit.

It is equivalent to signing an agreement. Only by protecting the safety of the house can it get these things. It is better to break the contract and pay a price.

Therefore, even for myself, I must keep these two little ones today!
……

Shen An's eyes widened.

Seeing the fat fox firmly blocking the things outside the door from coming in, I felt a little more calm for no reason.

He never thought that God really existed in the world.

Although I have been worshiping gods since I was a child, I have heard all kinds of stories about King Pan and other gods, but I have no idea about the real gods.

With his knowledge reserves, he naturally couldn't understand what was going on now.

However, this does not prevent him from having the idea and emotion that he is being protected.

It's just that Mr. Hu, the fat fox, is suffering.

In order to protect this family and keep his job, he could only do his best to block You Shi from the door.

Fortunately, Master You may have been very strong during his lifetime, but after death, only relying on instinctive consciousness, the strength that can be displayed is limited, which makes him have a slight upper hand.

After some wrestling, You Shi retreated.

The fat fox slumped on the ground like a human being, gasping for air, looking a little sluggish, and gurgling some inexplicable words.

Shen An watched this scene in surprise.

This is, it's over?

"Why are you standing there? Go get me three sticks of incense!"

The fat fox, who had regained his breath, was immediately upset when he saw the kid staring at him stupidly.

"Oh oh oh!"

Shen An hurried to get incense.

"Light it on, put it in the incense burner!"

The fat fox reminded impatiently, feeling that this kid is extremely stupid, and he doesn't know what the traveler likes about him.

Three sticks of incense were placed in front of the god's card.

The ignited smoke seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force, floated in front of the fat fox, and was sucked into the body by it.

Shen An watched, becoming more and more surprised.

"It shouldn't come again, go to sleep."

The fat fox waved its paws.

"So where did it go? Did it hurt anyone else?"

Shen An asked.

The fat fox glanced at him: "Who knows? My task is to protect this home, and other people are not within my protection."

Shen An was suddenly worried: "Then, can the land god and King Pan drive it away?"

The fat fox rolled his eyes angrily: "Your Pan King has long since disappeared, and the land god is the same. If it is still there, it will not let this kind of thing run around!"

"what?"

Shen An was surprised.

King Pan and God of Land are both missing?

"Okay, okay, go to bed, I'm going to bed too."

The fat fox impatiently waved his hand, stopped answering, jumped back onto the shrine, and got into the main card of the god.

Shen An stared blankly at all this, and finally went back to her room.

What happened tonight had a huge impact on him.

But when he walked back to his room, the fat fox reappeared, squatting on the shrine, frowning.

The little guy's question just now awakened some bad memories.

If the gods of heaven and earth are still there, and the order is still there, then things like You Shi can go around and harm mortals.

At this moment, its expression suddenly changed, and it appeared outside the door of the house.

……

I saw a tall and slender figure standing outside the door.

Although he couldn't see the other person's face clearly, he felt very young, exuding a supreme majesty.

Just looking at it, the fat fox was so scared that he closed his eyes and fell to his knees.

"Fox trick?"

Chen Jingle frowned.

The fat fox was trembling with fright, and hastily kowtowed: "The young one is the guardian god of the family enshrined by the family with the permission of the master, not some lonely soul in the mountains."

I'm afraid that if I say it too late, I will be out of my wits in the next second.

Although I don't know the origin of the person in front of me, but the momentum will not deceive people, and the intuition will not deceive people.

It has a feeling that if there is even the slightest bit of disrespect in oneself, just one thought from the other party can make him live or die.

It is a top-level powerhouse!
It is better than those big monsters it has seen before, whether it is the land god or the mountain god, it is even stronger!
hiss~
It was said just now that the gods of heaven and earth disappeared. When will such a powerful existence appear in this world?

Ha people!

"Family protector?"

It turned out to be the case.

Chen Jingle pondered for a while, then nodded slightly: "Are you fighting this Youshi just now?"

He pinched a figure between his five fingers, it was the miniature version of You Shi.

The fat fox, who was lying on the ground, looked up slightly, his pupils trembled, and quickly lowered his head: "Yes. Just now, the traveler suddenly appeared at the door. I was afraid that it would hurt the two children in the house, so I drove him away. ... Please be punished by the gods."

At this moment, it has a turbulent storm in its heart. Although the traveler relied on instinct afterwards, he can handle it so easily, and the means are beyond its imagination.

The origin of the person in front of him is even more unpredictable.

"You have fulfilled your duty, why should you punish me?"

Chen Jingle said calmly, "How long have you been the patron saint of this family?"

"Back to fairy tales, it's been 43 years."

"Why don't you go to reincarnation, but stay in the world and be a family god?"

The fat fox hesitated for a second: "Shangxian doesn't know something. The great-grandfather of this family once had kindness to me, so I made an agreement with him that if he couldn't achieve enlightenment, when the time comes, I will be the god of his family and protect him." 50 years for descendants. Now 43 years have passed, and my task will be completed in seven years, and it will not be too late to go to reincarnation by then."

Chen Jingle was surprised: "So that's the case."

I didn't expect this fox ghost to be so committed.

"By the way, what year did you become refined?"

"The Year of Gengxu."

1910, that was a hundred years ago.

A trance flashed in Chen Jingle's eyes, and it was fleeting, another existence from the old era.

After pondering for a moment, he asked, "How familiar are you with Dayao Mountain?"

The fat fox quickly said: "It's pretty familiar. Before the little one turned into a fox, he was an elder of the fox clan. It's just that he hasn't gone up the mountain for a long time after he became the family god. I don't know if it's changed a lot."

"Do you have any juniors on the mountain?"

"There are some."

"Okay, then you can take a trip to Dayao Mountain with me!"

"Yes!"

The fat fox didn't dare to refuse, but was just wondering, what is this big guy going to do in the mountains?
With the opponent's strength, even if the entire mountain range is flattened, no one dares to say anything, so why bring it?
Could it be that……
