death of mountain god

"I've been doing very well...I think so too." Chen Yuan touched his chin, "Let me think about it, I did a lot of things today."

"First, when entering the mountain, the two wooden piles at the entrance of the village are the pass of Pingya Mountain. I created a mourning scene all over the street. In fact, I don't understand. The red flowers and willows are not good-looking, so I simply made it white. The demon in the village Kill them all, and clear the way for you, so that no dirty things will hinder our mountain god's eyes."

Shen Yuntan pointed at the center of Chen Yuan's eyebrows, but she stopped her with her hand: "I have known since that lantern, that you have always been in Qingyang, and you have always been in Baiyu Mountain."

"It's been... keeping it from me."

Chen Yuan burst into tears suddenly, her eyes were red, her nose was also red, like a frustrated human girl crying, she still covered her eyes with her hand, and said with a choked voice: "Do you want me to forget that you are the mountain god again? ?”

As soon as people feel lonely, they want to raise some small animals, such as cats, dogs, birds, fish, even a potted flower. Shen Yuntan sighed, and the mountain god is second to none. He raises a strange-looking rabbit, left over from ancient times. At the time when that continent was in decline, he watched this little thing grow from glutinous rice balls to a fat rabbit half the size of an arm. How could he have the heart to make her forget himself with the love of licking a calf?

But he is already a god who stepped into the grave, but she still has thousands of years, how to explain this matter?

Chen Yuan took a deep breath: "You asked me to accompany him and protect him. I did it, and I did it every time. In your eyes, this is my only value. I respect you and thank you. I think Every time you held his bones, until he was reborn in the world after a hundred years of reincarnation, I never persuaded you, you are partners who have been bound together since birth, and I have no position to persuade you."

"This time, you said that you are leaving and going to a faraway place. Well, as before, I will continue to accompany Zhou Li, let him go to Baishi Temple, and let him live intact until now. I have always done it. Well done, but why are you keeping it from me?"

"Now that I have done something wrong, can you end my long life with your own hands?"

The soft white light fell on the top of Chen Yuan's head, warm and clean, like the sandalwood tree deep in her memory, she seemed to have returned to the days of Xiaobai Tuanzi, when she was always lazy, didn't want to move, didn't want to practice, just Wanting to be an ordinary rabbit, Shen Yuntan kept poking her head, earnestly and kindly: You are lazy now, but the pain will be in the future, other rabbits can become tall and thin beauties, but you are still A fat rabbit with big ears.

Fat head and big ears?Isn't that a description of a pig?Bai Tuanzi finally stretched his legs reluctantly, and Shen Yuntan continued to scare: If you don't practice hard now, you will be worse than a pig in the future.

Suddenly the white light was bounced back by something, Chen Yuan frowned, and his pupils turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Shen Yuntan's body was shaken, he shook his head: "You still have a long way to go, you may have to walk alone for a long time, I did many things wrong, such as ignoring your self-awareness, but you don't Use my mistakes to punish myself, from now on, you can live freely, as long as you are kind."

Chen Yuan's hair grew longer, her nails also grew longer, and her eyelashes fluttered non-stop. When she finally calmed down, her pupils turned dark red, and her lips lifted, revealing her crooked teeth: " late."

Shen Yuntan thought, it must be very painful, how could it be like this?That little girl who had been laughing and laughing for thousands of years, became like this in less than half a day.

Chen Yuan giggled: "Zhou Li just asked me why my finger wasn't injured, right? Now I can tell you, because I'm a fake."

She put her finger into the flame again, and from the fingertips, she slowly turned into a painted paper figurine. The flame jumped up, first burning it into different shades of gray, and after a few seconds, it was completely reduced to ashes .

"It's a puppet." Black picked up the gold flakes in the paper ashes, and smiled wryly: "Real gold is not afraid of fire."

Shen Yuntan closed his somewhat sour eyes, fell back, and hit Zhou Li directly beside Zhou Li. The pillow was soft, and he felt that he was about to sink into it.

Before Zhou Li was born in this life, Shen Yuntan had a dream. In front of his eyes was a slowly rotating large stone plate with numbers engraved on it. At first glance, it looked like a giant sundial lying sideways. People told him, but he realized in an instant that this is his lifespan. From now on, he will experience life, old age, sickness and death like ordinary people, but he will not be reincarnated. Instead, his body will become a mountain like the ancient gods. With a handful of dirt, blood flows into rivers, and eyes turn into stars.

After that, he had the same dream every night, looking at the dial from various angles, and he was familiar with every tiny crack in the stone plate. The twilight of Twilight will then end, and the old order will be completely replaced by the new.

There are permanence in the sky, and the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, demons and ghosts are unavoidable. On the day of dusk, the temple on Kunlun Mountain collapsed. The golden crow perched on the hibiscus tree was either dead or injured. The jade pot with arrow branches, the sky weeps for it.

The Queen Mother of the West watched Yizhu chiseling teeth in the field of Chouhua, killing nine infants on the fierce water, defying the strong wind in the lake of Qingqiu, shooting up ten days and then going down to kill Jiaojiao, cutting off snakes in Dongting, and sealing birds in Xi'an. mulberry forest.She looked at the joy of all the people, but her heart was pierced like a knife. Monsters are similar to humans, with both good and evil. It is not that humans are inherently good, but demons are inherently evil. It's the remains of a demon.

There is an oak tree on Baiyu Mountain, soaked in nectar and became a demon. He worshiped under the Queen Mother of the West. He stepped on the ruins of the temple with bare feet, without bending his knees or bowing his head, with the upright posture of a tree demon.

Sitting proudly on the altar covered with cracks, Queen Mother Xi asked, "Who are you?"

The dryad said: "White the oak tree at the foot of the mountain."

The Queen Mother of the West laughed loudly: "You have a name and a surname, and your name is Zhou Li."

The tree demon also laughed: "Okay, my name is Zhou Li."

The Queen Mother of the West looked at the endless winding river: "Do you like people or demons?"

Zhou Li did not hesitate: "Demon."

The Queen Mother of the West was silent suddenly, she didn't continue to ask the reason why this young tree demon, maybe she has already guessed, if it is not my race, its heart must be different, so why do you like it?

The prosperous age is a prosperous age in the world, but it is the end of the road for demons. The gods found that their destiny dial began to turn. Day by day, death followed like a shadow. Zhou Li watched meteors fall one after another, and suddenly thought of the Queen Mother of the West.

The Queen Mother of the West is no longer there, but the altar hanging above the ruins is not broken. Zhou Li stepped forward and touched the cracks emitting soft white light. At that moment, he inherited the will of the Queen Mother of the West. The monsters in the world sensed the birth of the new god, and for a moment, all the monsters shouted to welcome the new god to take his place.

Zhou Li was no longer that little tree demon. After thinking for many years, he finally figured it out. It was not God's will to be a demon by soaking in nectar. , she deduced the prosperity of human beings and the decline of demons, and planted the seeds of life-saving for all the demons with her own power.

The end of the demons came earlier than the Queen Mother of the West expected, and human heroes emerged one after another, all of whom took killing demons as the right way. Within a few decades, the demons were forced to go to the Kunlun Mountains.

A handsome young man Yiyi stood in front of the ruins and begged to see him. Zhou Li sat on half of the altar and swayed his feet. He still didn't feel that he was a god. Look, he didn't even recognize the stone altar, but apart from him, the world was once again He couldn't find another god, which made him very confused. What kind of thing is he?

The familiar figure approached slowly, bowed his head and saluted: "God, I'm from Baiyu Mountain."

Zhou Li said, "Come here, I can't see clearly."

The boy's posture was much more pious than that of Zhou Li back then. He walked up to the altar step by step, and was shocked to find that the altar was only half a piece: "God, your altar..."

Zhou Li pulled him into his arms, and the two teenagers with similar stature rolled to the ground. Zhou Li laughed heartily: "Look, I'm a false god."

The young man pushed him away, stretched out his hands covered in mud, at a loss: "God, please don't touch me, I'm too dirty."

Zhou Li rolled around in the ruins, rubbing against the boy's chest in disgrace: "Look, I'm dirty too."

The young man looked like he was about to cry. Zhou Li was silent for a while, then got up and sat back on the altar. The moment he got up, dust and mud fell to the ground. When he sat on the altar, he really looked like a god.

"You see, I'm actually just a oak tree. I wasn't even a demon. The Queen Mother of the West asked me to be this god, so I had no choice but to come." Zhou Li rested his chin in one hand, "Is it that I don't know what to do? In fact, I I know, and I thank her too, but she seems to have bad eyesight. There are so many trees in Baiyu Mountain, why did she fall in love with me, an uncarvable piece of rotten wood? I think you are very good, otherwise, you come to be this god Bar."

The young man seemed very sad, his eyes seemed to be watching a sunset: "God, may I know your name?"

"Zhou Li." He saw dark clouds above the Kunlun Mountains, today is not a good day, this child shouldn't be here, "I remember you, our roots used to intertwine, the branches and leaves used to cuddle together, your smell is very good , At that time, I kept thinking, if you transformed, you must be more beautiful than the flowers all over the mountain."

The young man's face suddenly brightened, his eyes seemed to be full of stars, and his address did not change: "God, I don't have a name yet, my surname is Zhou, okay?"

Zhou Li glanced at the rolling black cloud at the entrance of the hall again. It seemed to be the incarnation of the way of heaven, punishing all things that violated the way of heaven. He shook his head: "This surname is not good. Your name is Yun Tan, and your surname is... Shen."

In short, don't be surnamed Zhou anymore. Queen Mother Xi's bestowing the surname is like a conspiracy, but it cannot be refused. He doesn't want to give this surname to anyone he likes.

A few flashes of lightning flashed in the black cloud, Zhou Li's expression changed, he protected the young man behind him, and talked to him with a smile: "Yun Tan, I can't help myself, but I can't sit on this white stone for nothing. , There are some things that should be done or have to be done, if there is an emergency, these little monsters are helpless and unable to live, then I will count on you."

The young man didn't say a word, Zhou Li thought the child was fainted from fright, and when he looked back, he found that the palm-sized face was covered with tears, and the tears mixed with mud, which looked a bit funny, he was stunned, and then gave a wry smile , I was shocked to realize that I had done the same thing as Queen Mother Xi.

The next moment, he raised his feet and walked in the direction of the thunder and lightning. Just as he took a step, a heavy object hung on his hind leg. The young man hugged him tightly, buried his face in the bend of his leg, making him unable to break free.

Zhou Li squatted down and pushed the boy's slender and long fingers away. The boy used a lot of strength, his joints creaked. Zhou Li couldn't help but kissed the boy's miserable forehead. The body froze immediately.

"God bless you, don't stay here anymore, find a small place to hide, remember?"

The young man couldn't stop the god, he stared at the figure in the black cloud obsessively, the lightning kept flashing across his side, and the pale light illuminated the god's body.

At the last moment of the ancient prehistoric era, Zhou Li gave up his godhood to Shen Yuntan, and later, a mountain god appeared in Baiyu Mountain.

The author has something to say:

"Huainan Ziben Jingxun": "When Yao was caught, he came out in ten days, scorching grains, killing plants and trees, and the people had nothing to eat. Jiao, Chisel, Jiuying, Dafeng, Fengxun, and Snake are all Harm to the people. Yao sent Yi Zhu to chisel teeth in the field of Chouhua, killed nine infants on the fierce water, and sent strong winds to the lake of Qingqiu. When the bird was sealed in the mulberry forest, all the people were happy, and Yao was regarded as the son of heaven."
