Ozuki and Minyang stayed at Huazhi's place to study the clues of recent anomalies.Came here to start making memories from day one.

Min Yang was born and raised here, a fan of the authorities, and can't think of anything wrong at all.

Obscure Moon and Hanagi asked about the mountain ghost.

Mountain ghost: "I have been on the mountain all the time, and only saw the rise of the snake demon clan in the Thousand Buddha Cave."

Obscure Moon: "Is there any strange, or special places, such as in the mountain city."

The mountain ghost thought for a while, and said: "The mountain city was full of disasters a few years ago, and there was an earthquake."

"Years ago?"

"...It seems like ten years ago."

Ozuki looked at Min Yang.

Min Yang frowned.

The mountain ghost continued: "That earthquake was terrible... No, it wasn't just an earthquake. Everything was very strange that day. I hid in the cave and was terribly scared. It was already a few months later when I came out of the mountain again."

"..."

"I thought that after I left the mountain, the mountain city would be in ruins. It turned out that the mountain city was fine. At that time, it was also the time when the young master was born."

"..."

Min Yang was born ten years ago, and the birth of the young master in the mouth of the mountain ghost was when Min Yang broke the egg.

Obscure Moon asked: "Shan Gui, are there any companions here? Do they remember?"

The mountain ghost shook his head: "They were killed by the people from the Thousand Buddha Cave long ago. Even if there were, it would be useless. They all lived in the mountains and did not go to the mountain city. At that time, the mountain city was still protected by gods and Buddhas. Bless."

Everyone was even more puzzled.

"When did the gods and Buddhas leave the mountain city and no longer bless the mountain city?"

"It was also ten years ago."

Ten years ago!What the hell happened ten years ago!

Obscure Moon felt puzzled: "Has the religious atmosphere here always been so strong?" It is obvious that the gods are respected here, and the lights every night are enough to prove it, not to mention the influence of the Thousand Buddha Cave that permeates all aspects.If people go missing, they come directly to the Thousand Buddha Cave to ask for them. This has already regarded the Thousand Buddha Cave as an omnipotent god.

The mountain ghost said: "The weather in the mountain city has been bad since ancient times, and there have been many disasters, so it has always been enshrined to various gods."

"Every family?" Ozuki and Huazhi exchanged glances.Nowadays, when one mentions the gods and immortals, one must think of the way of heaven, and these so-called gods are probably filled with ghosts and snake gods indiscriminately.Maybe there will be people from the demon world who will do the opposite and become gods in the eyes of the people in the mountain city.

Obscure Moon asked: "Have the people in the mountain city worshiped the way of heaven?"

"Of course, the Thousand-Buddha Cave itself was built for the gods of the Dao of Heaven. In the beginning, it was true that all the gods contended, but later on, the Dao of Heaven became the mainstream."

At this time, Min Yang suddenly said in a childish voice, which was also the first question she asked the mountain ghost: "What happened before the Thousand Buddha Cave?"

"Huh?" The mountain ghost was taken aback.

"You said that the Thousand-Buddha Cave was built for the gods of the Dao of Heaven. Before the Thousand-Buddha Cave was built and the Dao of Heaven was not used as a belief, what was the main belief in the mountain city? There must be a belief that many people believe in, and it has not been broken. "

The mountain ghost thought about it for a long time, and his thoughts drifted for a long time, but suddenly remembered something: "Yes! There is a legend in the mountain city, saying that it is a true god!"

"True God?" What kind of God is this?The true gods of the Dao of Heaven refer to the gods and immortals who have gone through a lot of calamities and have truly realized themselves.And the true god that the mountain ghost talks about doesn't seem to be within the Six Realms of Heaven.

"There is a legend in the mountain city. A long time ago, there seemed to be no words. It is said that there will be a real god coming in the spring of doomsday, bringing new life to the mountain city, and giving everyone infinite life. So the mountain city The people of the world have been silently looking forward to the coming of the true God in their hearts."

Thinking of Minyang's birth in this life, Ozuki looked at Minyang again.

Min Yang had never seen such a legend in any books, so he continued to ask: "After that, there were words, but didn't this legend be recorded in the words?"

"Yes. The time before Qianfo Mountain was not gods and Buddhas, but hieroglyphs. It is this legend. But because of the construction of Thousand Buddha Caves, this legend was wiped out. I don't know what happened later, and I didn't see it in other places. This kind of text is recorded. But there is indeed such a legend, and it is known to the elderly in the mountain city up to the age of [-], and the children as young as five years old." Obscure Moon and Huazhi just came to the mountain city At that time, the waiter in the store also mentioned the legend of the real body in one sentence.

Min Yang frowned.There is no written word for this legend, and it has been passed down for so long only by word of mouth.

——This kind of legend seems to be the real belief.If you are firm and unwavering, if you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening.

Everyone continued to be silent.The amount of information is still too much and too complicated to make sense of.

Obscure moon is walking back to Thousand Buddha Cave with Min Yang on her back.

Min Yang lay on Ouyue's back, said: "I think I'm a monster."

This is the first time that Minyang has doubts about his own existence.She has been worshiped as a god since she was born, and she is held as high as the sky.

Wuyue said: "You are not, you are a person of the way of heaven."

Min Yang asked: "A man of the Dao of Heaven is as weak as I am, and as ignorant as I am?"

"People of the Dao of Heaven do not represent strength and wisdom. They also have joys, sorrows, sorrows, and weaknesses."

"Oh, then I'm not a man of heaven."

Obscure Moon: "..." Why is Min Yang in this life so self-defeating?

Thinking of this, Min Yang actually felt a little funny: "Baby maid, you said that I have been a 'man of heaven' for so many years, and now if I am not, what should I do?"

Min Yang had thought about this problem before, if she left the mountain city and the Thousand Buddha Caves, and she found Xuanling Island, the sacred place in her heart, what would she be doing at that time, and what kind of person would she become.

Ozuki sighed and said, "Just be yourself."

"..." Minyang remained silent, but she kept thinking about these three words of Ozuki, to be herself.So who am I now?

Thinking of this, Min Yang asked, "Then what kind of person am I now?"

You are a bear boy...

Of course, Ozuki couldn't say that: "You're fine, whatever you do is fine."

"Huh!" Min Yang was not happy with such a compliment, because no matter how nice the words were, they were not what she wanted to hear.

Obscure Moon said: "If you don't know what kind of person you are now, then what kind of person do you want to be?"

"..." Min Yang remained silent, but he kept thinking about the answer to this question in his heart.

It was dawn when the two returned to the Thousand Buddha Cave.The sky is bright, this is what the day should look like, not like the night illuminated by lights.

At this time, a group of people surrounded the Thousand Buddha Cave.It stands to reason that there would not be so many people in the Thousand Buddha Cave in the morning, and the mountain city is very strange recently, as if buried with explosives, and it is not yet the time for the explosives to explode.

Min Yang looked at the crowd and said, "Come into them, I want to know what they are going to do!"

Yunyue nodded, and put on a shawl to cover the seedlings on her back, and got into the crowd.

Entering the core area, I heard people's noise very directly.

It turned out that these people were all outsiders. Someone saw a scene of black mist devouring humans last night. Coincidentally, they seemed to have seen the figure of the young master.

So they come now and ask three questions:

[-]. What is that black mist?

[-]. Why did the young master appear in that place;

[-]. Isn't the young master a god? Why doesn't he save people?

Min Yang listened to their words in his heart, and was so angry that he kept pinching the flesh on Yue's back.

Min Yang's uncle Zhi Xun stepped forward and faced the crowd: "First, the black mist you are talking about is just the fog of a mountain city. The lights are dark, the mind is unclear, and the things you see are not clean!"

"..."

"Second, it's the same as the one above. You're wrong. The young master has been sitting in the Thousand Buddha Cave all this time. How could he go to such a place in the middle of the night?"

"..."

"Thirdly, the young master is of course a god! There is no doubt about it!"

"..."

It's a pity that the more you say it, the more people don't believe it.Especially the third one.

A person yelled: "Then you call out the young master, we have to confront the young master face to face!"

Zhixun said angrily: "Presumptuous! Young Master, you can call me at your word?"

"Why can't the young master call out? Is our incense money paid for nothing?"

——Do you think that gods can appear just by appearing?

——When you have such thoughts, you have already begun to disrespect the gods, and even, you no longer believe in the existence of gods.

Min Yang saw everything in his eyes, and his nails almost scratched the palm of his hand.

Obscure Moon quietly said: "You are."

You are a god.

When Miyue returned to the Thousand Buddha Cave with Minyang on her back, Minyang jumped off Miyue's back and ran angrily into the cave owner's niche.

Ozuki followed closely behind Minyang.

The cave master's cave is resplendent and resplendent, no less than that of Minyang.

The statues of gods and Buddhas in the cave are lifelike, as if they will move in the next second and walk out of the cave.It gives people the illusion that they are so close to God.Little do they know that these are just sculptures, just media, just substitutes, not real gods.

At this time, the cave master was making and drinking tea leisurely.It seems that he is not in the same time and space as the people around him, and he is indifferent to the affairs of the world.In the past, she was dressed gorgeously and enchantingly, but today she is dressed in plain robes, as if the lead has been washed away, and it still gives people a sense of sophistication.

Wuyue felt surprised, such a cave master, is it really the black mist that looks like a human and ghost like last night?

But Min Yang could see that this kind of plainness was similar to dehydrated vegetables, it was not tasty, it was not good-looking, and it was dry, and it would break when twisted.

Min Yang stood in front of the cave master and asked, "Father, do you have anything to say to me?"

The cave master glanced at Minyang, and then took a deeper look at the moon behind Minyang, and then set up an enchantment in the cave, then took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "No."

Min Yang: "Hmph, then tell me, what was the monster in the mountain city last night?"

The cave master chuckled, "If you ask that, you must already know."

"Then why are you?"

The cave master suddenly burst into a monstrous smile, full of sarcasm, as if Min Yang was too naive in front of him: "Monsters eat people, just like people eat animals, it's a matter of course."

"In this case, why do you want to deceive them and say that we are gods?"

"I didn't deceive them like this, I just told them-you are a god."

"..."

Min Yang's pupils have turned into animal-shaped golden pupils, obviously on the verge of collapse: "In this case, why do you only eat outsiders?"

The cave master laughed mockingly, laughing wildly, laughing like no one else.

Min Yang frowned, this father, is he going crazy.He vaguely saw a steady stream of black air oozing from the Cave Master's body, but it seemed to be alive.

The cave master suddenly stopped laughing wildly, and said: "Because I only eat people, and the people in the mountain city are no longer human."

Min Yang's heart skipped a beat: "What do you mean?"

The cave master was smiling, but there was no smile in his words: "When you were born, the mountain city happened to experience a disaster comparable to the end of the world, and everyone in the city died."

The big mountain is born, the sky is collapsed, the earth is cracked, the sun, moon and stars are dimmed.The house collapsed, the smoke and dust billowed, and the world's creatures suffered countless deaths and injuries...

——Such words suddenly popped up in Min Yang's mind at this moment.

Minyang was a little unsteady, Ozuki approached Minyang, hugged Minyang from behind, and Minyang leaned on Ozuki's body.

The cave master continued: "The people in the mountain city are not human, they are all dead."

"..."

"Outsiders are the living people. And I only eat living people. Only living people can feed my demons."

"..."

"This is also the reason why there are no gods in the Thousand Buddha Caves, only monsters like us. Ghosts and gods, ghosts are existences that are opposed to gods. Gods protect people, but they don't care about the existence or annihilation of ghosts. Gods and Buddhas save people and themselves, but not demons. .Because monsters are all existences that should go to hell."

"..."

"The mountain city is full of ghosts, it is a ghost city. The mountain city, without the protection of gods, is an abandoned city."

Min Yang thought it was ridiculous, but couldn't laugh, and clenched his fists: "Then why didn't the gods appear, and the ghosts of the mountain city didn't go to hell."

The cave master smiled: "I have to ask you."

"..." Min Yang was taken aback.

"They are contaminated with the baleful aura of your birth. Heaven is not rare, and hell would not dare to accept them."

"..." Min Yang was silent.

"Your mother died because of your birth, and I feel like I lost the whole world.——So, I want to collect some compensation from it." The Thousand Buddha Cave is the so-called compensation.But in fact, the Thousand Buddha Cave is more like a hole of nothingness, no matter how it is filled, it cannot be filled. In the past ten years, the hole in my heart has become bigger and bigger, and I have become a demon, and it is still difficult to escape.

Min Yang was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised her head and said, "Are you the only one who knows about this?"

"Hahahaha..." The Cave Master suddenly laughed, "No one will believe it if I tell it - not many people know about it. The people in the mountain city don't know it themselves, they think they are still alive, and they deceive themselves and others to create Come out of a brightly lit city that never sleeps, and feel that I am blessed by a real god."

"..."

The more the cave master thought about it, the more interesting he said: "They didn't work so hard when they were alive! Besides telling themselves that they are still alive, they also need a god—you, you are not bad. They chose you to be their god."

"..."

"But if it wasn't for you, they'd figure out how to create one. So don't take yourself too seriously. They lied to themselves, so big that you lied to yourself."

"..."

"You think they are your believers, so have you ever thought about how He De can become their believers because you have never had any dogmas of belief."

"..."

"Because what they believe in is not you, but you in their eyes."

"..."
