I really don't want to be a teacher

In front of Lian Ge's eyes, at his side, and around, the scenes changed one after another.

"One day, I passed by a village. At the entrance of the village, an old man in the village was seeing off a person wearing a Taoist robe. You went up to ask for a bowl of water, and the old man in the village gave you a bowl of water and asked you to sit in the courtyard, and then you were ready to go again. go out."

The system prompt beeps,

Lian Ge stopped again, the scene around him changed again, and the voice in his ear gradually became clearer,

This is a village in the mountains. There are several mountains beside the village, one of which is slightly higher, and the others are slightly lower.

On the slightly higher mountain, it seems that people don't go there very often, only some of the lower places have some fields, and the higher places are full of foliage, shrubs and weeds are intertwined, and there are no mountain paths in sight.

On the lower mountains, along the slopes, some terraced fields are reclaimed. Along the terraced fields, a meandering stream flows from the top of the mountain, down through the fields, and then around the foot of the mountain, half of the village.

Some houses in the village are scattered along the river.

At this moment, Lian Ge was standing in the village, in the courtyard of the village entrance household, holding a bowl of water in his hand from an old man's house in the village.

The old man was in a hurry and was about to go out of the village.

"The old man is in such a hurry to go out, why is there something urgent?"

Looking at the bowl of water in his hand, Lian Ge said in a calm tone.

"...You asked the old man. It turns out that the old man is going out to look for wise people to solve the village's affairs."

Immediately afterwards, the system prompt sounded again,

In front of Lian Ge, the old man who was walking out of the yard also stopped, turned around and said,

"...Some things have happened in the village recently... I invited several Taoist priests to come back and look at them, but they didn't work. I have to go to the town to have a look... You have drank water and rested your feet. Let's go quickly, so that you don't get caught in time, and it's bad luck."

"...You heard, the old man said so. Say that you also know about ghosts and gods, let the old man tell you about the things in the village."

"The old man was overjoyed when he heard the words, so he quickly told the whole story of the village and told you about it."

The system prompt beeps.

The scene before Lian Ge's eyes changed.

It was still in the courtyard, it was the afternoon sky before, now it is evening,

Apart from the old man before, there were many other people around the yard.

"...Master, for so many years, the weather in our village has always been good, and there has been no disaster...I don't know what happened this year, what kind of bad luck we encountered...Since last month, everyone in the village has started to make a Strange dream."

"... There was nothing in the dream. They all dreamed of staying in the house, sleeping on the beds of each house, and then in the middle of the night, as if they heard someone knocking on the door... I woke up in the dream and went to I opened the door. As soon as I opened the door, I saw an old man standing in front of the door. His hair and beard were white, he was wearing tattered clothes, and he was holding a walking stick in his hand. Say, say he is here to collect debts."

The old man stood beside Lian Ge and spoke to Lian Ge aloud.

Chapter 780 Assessment: Debt

"...everyone in the village had the same dream. They all dreamed that it was the old man who came to collect debts."

"...At the beginning, people in the village talked about it. When they realized that the whole village was having this dream, they felt that something was wrong. The village still wondered if the village had provoked something and owed others something."

The night took over from the evening sky, and the dark night filled the village,

By the light of a bonfire lit in the yard, the village talked to Lian Ge,

"...But after much deliberation and searching, I can't think of anything. It seems that the village has never owed anyone... Our village is in the mountains, and these things are taboo on weekdays, and we don't know What to get from outsiders... I really can't figure it out... But at night, the village just keeps having this dream."

The old man frowned tightly, raised his head, looked at the darkening night, seemed a little puzzled,

"...You said that the weather in our village is good every year, and there is no disease or disaster. Why did such a thing suddenly happen at this time, and a debt collector came..."

"... At the beginning, I had this dream for several nights in a row, and the people in the village were a little annoyed, thinking about dreaming again, and when I dreamed, I didn't open the door for the old man to see if I wouldn't dream again ... But in the dream, I can't remember it, or every night, I dream of someone knocking on the door, and I go to open the door, and when I open the door, I see the old man coming to collect debts..."

"...A few days ago, the village really couldn't do anything, and they couldn't figure it out. So I went to the Taoist temple in the town and invited a Taoist priest to come back... The Taoist priest said that our ancestors were here, and we didn't make a good job of it." Priestess, I haven't worshiped for a long time, so I found the door and knocked on the door one by one."

"... At that time, many people in the village thought the same way... The old man still couldn't figure it out. It is said that every year during the Qingming Festival and the Chinese New Year, there are sacrifices in the village. Why... But at that time There was no other way, so I followed the Taoist priest's words and performed a ritual ceremony to enlighten my ancestors, and then performed a good sacrifice... I thought it would be better now, but the result still didn't work...The dream was still happening one after another ..."

"...In the past few days, I have invited several Taoist priests one after another. Master, the explanations given are either the same as that Taoist priest, or there are some other explanations, but none of them are very useful..."

"...Master, please help me to find out what's going on here?"

The old man was talking, and then looked at Lian Ge.

"Is there anything else besides dreaming?"

Lian Ge glanced at the old man and the villagers surrounding the yard, and said aloud.

"That's not true. I just had this weird dream over and over again... It's just that at night... some people in the village wanted to stay awake, but they couldn't. At some point, you fell asleep..."

"... Right now, it's getting dark, and after a while, it's time to dream again..."

The old man was talking, but the voice stopped.

Lian Ge glanced at the old man in the village, then turned his gaze away,

"You heard what the old man in the village said, and stayed in the village until late at night."

The system prompt sounds again.

The scene around is changing,

Still in the courtyard, the moon hanging obliquely in the night changed its position, and the permeating night gradually deepened.

In the night, the flames of the bonfire burning in the yard were jumping, and there were some crackling sounds of firewood in the bonfire.

Beside the yard, there were not fewer people from the village surrounded by the yard, but more and more people, either standing or sitting on a stool moved from their own house.

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge looked outside the village entrance along the village road beside the courtyard.

"...It's about time, master...It's about this time, the people in the village can't stand it any longer."

Next to him, the old man in the village said to Lian Ge, his body tensed up, and he also looked out of the yard.

Without turning his head, Lian Ge looked outside the village,

In sight, a man with a cane, hair, and a snow-white beard, with a slightly hunched figure, dressed in some ragged and shabby clothes, walked step by step from outside the village, from the entrance of the village to the village in the darkness of night. .

Glancing at the old man with a walking stick, Lian Ge raised his head slightly and looked at the way the old man came from. Behind the old man was the slightly higher mountain beside the village.

Moving his feet, the old man walked into the village step by step,

Immediately afterwards, those standing or sitting around by the yard slowly, slowly, or lay down, or leaned on, closed their eyes, and fell asleep,

Holding a cane, the old man on the road to the side of the yard raised his head, looked over here, and seemed to see Lian Ge,

Immediately afterwards, he quickened his pace, walked up to Lian Ge in a few steps, and bowed towards Lian Ge.

"...The little god Chen Shan, the mountain god, has seen a celestial master."

Putting the walking stick aside, respectfully, Chen Shan and Lian Ge greeted each other.

"You're welcome."

Lian Ge stood up, shook his head, and said something out loud.

Turning his gaze again, he glanced at the people in the village who were lying or leaning on the yard, who had already fallen asleep.

Chen Shan followed closely and turned around, following Lian Ge's gaze,

"...The incident in Chenshan Village was indeed done by a little god. I have disturbed the celestial master. I hope the celestial master will forgive me."

After realizing it, Chen Shanshen bowed to Lian Ge and said again.

Looking back at the mountain god, Lian Ge shook his head and didn't say much.

And Chen Shan Shanshen bent his body again, and continued to speak aloud,

"...The name of the little god and secular family is Chen Weimu, and he was also a member of the Chen family hundreds of years ago. He did some things before him, and he was named the mountain god of Chenshan. Cut off...but the little god still keeps Chenshan Village safe and sound every year, free from disease and disaster...This month, the little god is leaving...so I come here to ask for more than a hundred years of incense debts, and get all the fruits."

Bowing down, Chen Shan Shanshen looked at the villagers in the yard, and spoke again.

Lian Ge nodded when he heard the sound, then turned his gaze to look at some villagers in the yard.

"... The matter of the little god has disturbed the celestial master, and I hope the celestial master will forgive me."

"After they wake up, I will talk to them."

"Thank you Heavenly Master, the little god thanked the Heavenly Master... That day, the little god will leave first."

The mountain god Chen Shan bowed to Lian Ge respectfully,

Waiting for Lian Ge to nod, he picked up his crutches, took a few steps back, turned around, and with the crutches on his feet, he moved his feet and gradually walked away from the village.

……

Seeing the figure of the mountain god disappearing into the night, Lian Ge turned his gaze to the villagers who were lying or leaning on the yard,

Randomly sat down.

As the night deepened, the bonfire in the middle of the yard crackled a few more times, and the flames danced for a while, and the villagers who had fallen asleep gradually woke up.

At first I was a little puzzled, then I gradually sat up, stood up,

"...Eh? Did you fall asleep just now?"

"...Eh... I don't think I had that dream just now..."

"...Yes, I didn't dream, I didn't dream... That's right... It must be the master, it must be because the master is here..."

"...Thank you Master...Thank you Master..."

The villagers were a little surprised, and thanked Lian Ge gratefully,

The elders in the village were also a little happy, and then walked up to Lian Ge,

"...Master, has the matter in the village been resolved now?"

The old man in the village asked again.

Looking at the old man and the villager in the yard, Lian Ge shook his head,

Turning his gaze again, he looked at the top of the slightly higher mountain outside the village,

"Remember what's on top of that mountain?"

With a calm tone, Lian Ge asked aloud.

Thanks to the boss of 'Deep Sea No. [-]' for the reward.

...Tomorrow will add an update, today will be...um...tomorrow will add an update.

Thanks man...

Chapter 781 Assessment: Battlefield

"...that mountain... I haven't been to that mountain for a long time."

"...There are shrubs, weeds, branches, weeds all over the place, and the hillside is so steep that it's impossible to pass people..."

"... I remember when I was young, there was still a faint path leading to the top of the mountain on the slope, but I can't see it now."

"...The last time I was digging in the field, the doll followed me in the house. Without paying attention, he went to the forest on the top of the mountain, and I followed it... It seems that there is a temple on the top of the mountain."

"...Eh, yes, I have seen it too. When I was young, I went to that mountain forest. There was indeed a temple on the top of the peak, but the temple has collapsed. When I was young It's already collapsed, and you can't see much of its original appearance, it just looks like a temple..."

"...It fell down a long time ago. The green bricks used to build the walls were covered with a thick layer of moss, and they were almost buried by the fallen leaves around them. The shrubs and branches are here, and they are no different from other places in the forest, so you can barely see some traces..."

"...If it's a mountain temple, I haven't seen any statues..."

"...It is estimated that the temple was crushed under the wall by the fallen temple, and the broken tiles were under the ground, and there were so many leaves under the forest. It must have been buried."

……

"...Master, you see what you want to say, is it the temple on the top of the mountain outside the village...the temple...what's going on?"

"Look through the genealogy and village chronicles in the village."

Listening to the voices of the village people in the yard reflected by the fire,

Looking at the people in the village with puzzled faces reflected in the firelight,

Lian Ge got up, said something aloud, and moved away.

"...Eh, eh...Master, please sit down and stay..."

Behind him, the people in the village responded and persuaded him to stay.
