Reborn as a snake, creating a magic method in the real world

Chapter 81 News Report, Celebration and Worship (Third Update)

As the villagers in Longyuan Village publicized the existence of the mountain god, soon the villagers in the next village heard about it and came here admiringly.

The village next door is not big and has a slightly smaller population, but there are contacts between the two villages. They are more or less related to each other and the relationship has always been good.

"Let me tell you, when this mountain god first appeared, it started from one night when two people in our village came back from your wedding banquet and met a group of small animals."

A villager from Longyuan Village told the story vividly, "I was at the scene at that time, and those little animals seemed to have become spirits, and they were all staring at us."

"If these are just accidents, then the mountain god will punish the wicked and save the little grass girl, and they will also form an indissoluble bond with our village."

Longyuan Village didn't convince the firefighters, but it did convince the people in the next-door village.

In addition, they believed in this a little bit, and they had heard about it before, and now the mountain god has completely shown a miracle and saved them from the water and fire, and they are even more convinced.

"Village Chief Liu, Master Shanshen has shown great kindness to our two villages. If it wasn't for him, I'm afraid our family would be gone now."

Liu Deming nodded repeatedly, "Village Chief Wu, you are right."

Village Chief Wu next door first expressed joy, and then after worshiping the mountain god through Liu Deming, he looked at the small mountain god temple in front of him with a somewhat dissatisfied expression.

"Village Chief Liu, you have always been prudent in doing things, why are you so careless this time? Master Shanshen lives in such a small room, doesn't he feel pain in his back and legs! You are stingy, you need to change to a bigger one!"

The small temple has been washed by heavy rains, and for a while, the outer bricks have faded.

In addition, this small temple was originally built by a few villagers.

At that time, there were not many people who believed in the mountain god, so I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Now that Village Chief Wu said so, it seems a bit out of place.

It doesn't fit the status of the master of the mountain god at all.

"Master Shanshen spent so much effort to save us, we must be grateful! We must pay back! Not to mention how polite it is to act like those temples in the city, at least this way is not acceptable."

Liu Deming nodded repeatedly when he heard Village Chief Wu's words, with an expression of self-blame and annoyance on his face.

"Thank you, brother, for your reminder. Look at my stupid memory. I have been busy with the celebrations these days, and I almost forgot. After the celebrations, I will pick a good day and build a new mountain temple together!"

Village Chief Wu nodded repeatedly, "I will also send someone over to help when the time comes."

The two village chiefs quickly finalized the new mountain temple plan and passed it on. All the villagers were very happy and willing to pay for the construction together, without any objection.

As preparations for the previous things are being completed, the celebration in the village is about to come.

At the same time, the mountain fire was completely extinguished, and there was no possibility of it re-igniting. The firefighters and others were also preparing to leave.

Before Qian Qixue and others left, they were stuffed with a lot of good things by the villagers.

"We don't have any gifts to give. These are home-grown cooked vegetables and fruits, without hormones, so they are safe and safe to eat."

Qian Qixue quickly waved his hands, "These are our duties, everyone really don't want to give them away."

However, the villagers couldn't resist being too enthusiastic.

Qian Qixue could barely hold it in his hands, and looked at his teammates next to him, he had a chicken in his left hand, a duck in his right hand, and a bunch of hot peppers hanging around his neck, all of which were masterpieces of the villagers.

The scene is inexplicably funny.

"I've worked hard for you these days. If you didn't fear life and death and helped us put out the fire, I don't know what will happen. Everyone will see it—"

Hearing this, Qian Qixue and the other firefighters were deeply moved, and even more so.

This group of simple folks, within their ability, took out the best things to express their gratitude.

However, in the next second, the words of the villagers made many firefighters dumbfounded.

"However, the biggest hero is still the mountain god. Thanks to the manifestation of the mountain god, the timely heavy rain not only controlled the mountain fire, but even eased the drought."

"By the way, are you really not staying to participate in the celebration?"

Facing another invitation from the villagers, Qian Qixue shook his head helplessly, "No."

After bidding farewell to the villagers, Qian Qixue and others embarked on the journey back.

The scenery outside the car window kept receding, looking at the endless green hills around, two of them were extremely dark and looked particularly abrupt.

These are the traces of the wildfires that once raged. It is not known how long it will take to recover.

However, the one closest to Longyuan Village is lush and lush, and has not been affected at all, forming a sharp contrast.

"Captain, tell me, is there really a mountain god in Longyuan Village? Those villagers said they have noses and eyes."

Facing his teammate's question, Qian Qixue fell silent, and only sighed after a long time: "Who can tell clearly about the affairs of the world, whether there is or not, we must always maintain a certain amount of awe and respect, just like we Chinese people have to worship their ancestors every year and festival, so is burning paper sacrifices really useful? But, why bother with these things?"

……

Soon afterwards, this incident was also reported by the TV station, not only to promote fire prevention, but also to highlight the great achievements of the local fire brigade.

"According to our station's report, a heavy rain came suddenly. The wildfire that had been going on for several days was finally contained and stopped spreading. Thanks to the joint efforts of firefighters and various departments, the wildfire was finally extinguished."

The mountain fire affects the hearts of all parties. Now that the mountain fire has finally been extinguished, everyone's hearts can be completely relieved.

It is worth mentioning that the TV station not only reported that the mountain fire was extinguished, but also mentioned that Qian Qixue and others were trapped in the forest, but were able to escape because of the heavy rain.

Including the story of the mountain god in Longyuan Village, it was also mentioned later, but the space is not too large, it is just an anecdote, and it is mentioned in one stroke without much ink.

"It's great, it's just God's blessing. The mountain fire is finally extinguished. If it continues to burn, I don't know how much damage to the ecology will be."

"Wow, wow, so moved. Watching the firefighters fight against the raging wildfires, I was worried several times, for fear that something might happen to them."

"For such a large wildfire, according to the feedback from the scene, the death rate is still relatively low, and there are very few cases that can be extinguished."

"Don't you think the heavy rain is strange? It's obviously not raining. So what the hell are those villagers saying it's caused by the mountain gods?"

"The weather changes a lot, so it's not surprising that it rains suddenly. As for the mountain god, it's a feudal superstition. There's nothing to make a fuss about."

"Anyway, there were only dozens of casualties, so it's a blessing in misfortune. I remember when there was a wildfire in the past, and many people died."

"No, that wildfire caused heavy casualties, and it was not extinguished in the end. It waited until it continued to burn until nothing was left to burn before it was extinguished."

There was a lot of discussion on the Internet about this, but the main focus was on the extinguishing of the mountain fire. We also saw the villagers' theories about the mountain god, but they didn't take it to heart.

Because of the limited length of the report, the official only briefly mentioned it, and the news was not very popular, so no one deliberately discussed it.

……

No matter what those firefighters and the Internet think, they can't stop the upcoming celebrations in Longyuan Village.

This time the event was even more grand and lively because of the participation of the neighboring village.

Unlike the previous sacrifices, the weather was dry at that time, and they were praying for rain. Even though the villagers were happy on the surface, they were also worried.

This time was different. The heavy rain contained the fire, so they no longer had to leave their home, which they depended on for survival. At the same time, several more rains followed, which completely alleviated the drought.

<divclass="contentadv">The crops in the crop fields have been moistened by the rain and have regained their vitality. Everything is developing for the better.

Everyone was beating gongs and drums, and it was more lively than New Year's Eve. Because the neighboring village also came, there were a lot of people. This kind of grand occasion was unprecedented in Longyuan Village.

The activity process is first a parade, then a sacrifice, and then everyone sings and dances together.

The village head called several young men in the village to form a dragon and lion dance team. At the same time, he also invited Hu Xiaocao as the leader to lead the big guys forward and place the mountain statue.

Because they were worried that the fire would devour the statue last time, Hu Xiaocao and her daughter also brought the statue out, but they haven't put it back yet.

Hu Xiaocao and her daughter were still a little unbelievable when they received the news.

The woman wanted to refuse, "How can Xiaocao do such a big thing well, she is just a child, if something goes wrong, then we will be seen as a joke."

The village chief touched Hu Xiaocao's head, smiled and said: "Xiaocao is smart, I believe she will do well, and this matter can only be done by her."

In order to prevent the statue from being destroyed by the fire, Hu Xiaocao took it out, and she should put it back again, and Hu Xiaocao has a close relationship with the mountain god, and he has seen the true face of the mountain god, so of course he is the most suitable candidate.

After listening to the village chief's words, the woman also nodded, "Then Xiaocao, you have to behave better, and don't let everyone down on you."

Hu Xiaocao's face flushed with excitement, and she nodded excitedly, "Don't worry, Mom!"

After finalizing everything, the parade is about to begin.

"The auspicious time has arrived and the celebration begins!"

It was already five o'clock at this time, and the afternoon sun was not so big, nor was it so warm, hanging in the sky, coating the whole village with a faint golden edge.

The village was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and even a red silk was spread beside the temple of the mountain god at the foot of the mountain.

The long procession began to set off. Hu Xiaocao walked in the front holding the statue of the mountain god, followed by the village head and some respected figures in the village.

Then came the dragon and lion dancers, followed by the villagers.

The procession goes from the entrance of the village to the end of the village, then circles around the village, and finally ends at the mountain temple at the foot of the mountain.

The purpose of doing this is to bring blessings to the village.

The sound of crackling firecrackers is endless, and red lanterns are hung at the door of every household, which is comparable to the New Year.

The faces of every villager are filled with warm and joyful smiles.

Hu Xiaocao walked on the road covered with red silk, this feeling was unprecedented, she subconsciously straightened her back, her little face was tense, for fear of making any mistakes and embarrassing the mountain god grandpa.

The whole village is not big, and it only takes nearly half an hour to walk the entire distance, mainly because people don't walk very fast.

Soon they arrived at the temple of the mountain god at the foot of the mountain. The village chief assisted Hu Xiaocao and respectfully put the mountain god back.

The sacrificial objects had already been placed beside the temple, not to mention chicken, duck, fish, and a whole pig, etc., enough to show the sincerity of the villagers.

"Our Longyuan Village was able to escape the catastrophe this time, all because of the blessing of the mountain god, so I decided to change the mountain god to a bigger place after this celebration is over. Do you have any opinions?"

Facing the inquiry from the village chief, everyone said in unison, "No objection!"

The village chief picked up the incense candle and knelt down on the ground, bowing deeply to the mountain god.

"I, Liu Deming, have thanked Master Mountain God for helping us in a critical moment and protecting our Longyuan Village from disaster."

For a moment, everyone knelt down and kowtowed to the mountain temple.

"Thank you, Master Mountain God, for your kindness and virtue, we will never forget it!"

The expressions of the crowd were pious and respectful, like saints on a pilgrimage. Although there were many people, the whole team was very orderly and very quiet, without any noise.

They kowtowed and burned incense and worshiped the gods in one go.

The cigarette smoke continued to rise, converging into a white river and drifting towards the sky.

The clay statues in the temple still looked at the crowd blankly, but under the cover of the setting sun, there seemed to be some inexplicable charm.

Everyone was bathed in the sunset, feeling relaxed and happy as never before. The green mountains not far away were also bathed in the sunset, taking on a different color, as if they were celebrating with everyone.

After worshiping the mountain god, the rest is free time for activities. The villagers gathered together, and the village head even took out the good wine he had collected for many years, and drank happily with everyone.

"I'm so happy today, we must not get drunk!"

"Okay! If you don't get drunk, you won't return. See if I don't drink you down today."

"Don't just drink. If you eat more food, you won't say such things."

It was getting dark at this time, but it did not affect the nature and enthusiasm of the villagers at all. Looking at this situation, the celebrations would not end until at least midnight.

While the crowd was waiting to eat, there was a man who stood out. He was wearing a mask, covering most of his face. He was very special among the villagers.

But now everyone was eating and drinking, and no one noticed his presence.

This person stood next to the mountain god temple, looked at the mountain god statue, and then his eyes fell on the green mountains not far away.

Are there really mountain gods in the world?

This idea has been lingering in his mind, lingering, and driving him to this celebration.

As night fell, the green hills also became as thick as thick ink, and the outline gradually became unclear, as if there were many mysteries hidden, waiting for people to explore and discover.

The drunken villagers noticed the existence of this person and patted him on the shoulder, "Why don't you come over for a drink, bro."

"I still have something to do, you can drink."

Seeing his back in a hurry and his strange attire, the villagers rubbed their eyes, "What a weird person, what kind of mask are you wearing at this time?"

A companion came over, "If you don't drink, what are you doing here?"

"It's nothing, I just met a strange man wearing a mask."

He pointed, but he couldn't find the figure of the strange man just now.

The others smiled, thinking they were drunk, "I think you just can't drink anymore, so you deliberately found an excuse to escape!"

"Who escaped! Let's go back and fight for [-] rounds."

After mumbling a few words, the villagers returned to the wine table.

After the man walked away, he slowly took off his mask, revealing a majestic middle-aged face.

Sun Zhenbang glanced back at the endless green hills, with a complicated expression on his face, and then quickly disappeared into the night.
