Land god

Chapter 9 Prayers

Since then, the female wolf has never approached the village again.Du Qian also paid attention to this. He had never thought about communicating with creatures other than humans before. Now that he thinks about it, since there are ghosts and gods, things like "psychic communication" are not impossible~

This thought was like opening a floodgate. Du Qian soon discovered that he was gradually able to let more and more creatures understand his meaning.

Those small animals on the mountain were all regarded as experimental objects by him.He instructed a little squirrel to hide its food in a safer place, and let a trapped hare find its own way out. After trying more times like this, he found that he could even gradually sense the food. To the minds of these creatures!

On the pine tree next to the Earth Temple, the squirrel was full of "nuts, nuts", a snake gliding in the grass looked indifferently at this increasingly cold world, it wanted to find a place to hibernate in advance... The thinking of these animals is often very simple, instinctive, and easy to understand.

Du Qian never tires of being with the animals in nature, he just feels that his body and mind are almost integrated into it, and he is indistinguishable from them.But at this time, the villagers began to sacrifice again, and Du Qian's attention was drawn back.

The second and sixteenth day of every month are the days of offering sacrifices to the God of the Earth, which is called "Ya Sacrifice".Every year, the sacrifice on the second day of February is also called "head tooth", and the sacrifice on December [-] is called "tail tooth". Now it is October [-], which is another day of tooth sacrifice.

The Yasi this time is different from the previous ones in that someone is making a wish to him.

Du Qian found that, unlike those believers on the earth who casually make wishes and want everything, people here take making wishes very seriously.

Early in the morning, when it was just dawn, Du Qian saw at the foot of the mountain a peasant woman in her thirties who was wearing a blue cloth, kneeling and walking up the mountain from the foot of the mountain. The distance from the foot of the mountain to the halfway up the mountain is only a few hundred meters, and it took a whole half a day to kneel and walk before arriving at the Earth Temple at noon in the sun.

At this time, the other priests had finished burning incense and left.

I saw that the peasant woman was tall and tall, with a round face and a chubby face. Her knees were already worn out. She wiped off the sweat, took out incense sticks and some white-faced steamed buns decorated with red flowers from the basket she brought, After offering good incense, she placed the steamed buns in front of the temple. She knelt in front of the temple and prayed devoutly: "I beg the land grandfather to bless my family with a baby and import it, and bless me to give birth to a big and fat boy in the coming year. If I can achieve my wish, I will wear three feet of red to show my respect." Grandfather of the Land."

Although there was no one around, the peasant woman was still ashamed after saying the words of begging for a child. She lowered her head and bowed a few times before hobbling and preparing to go down the mountain with a basket in her arms.

Zhang Gai was also very embarrassed to hear these words in the temple, but he still introduced to Du Qian: "This is the daughter-in-law of Zhang Erqing's family. She has been married for seven or eight years and has not seen a baby. She is very kind. Honest farmer."

Du Qian nodded, noncommittal, saying that the God of the Land does have the function of protecting the family and importing children, but in Du Qian's mind, there are many possibilities for infertility, and it is not something that he can guarantee casually.He could only do his best to help for the sake of the other party's sincerity.

Then he saw Du Qian reaching out his hand to hit a little golden light and fell into the ground. He stretched out his hand and fished it again, and a ball of yellow gas was pulled out from the ground. He grabbed the yellow gas and threw it at Zhang Erqing's wife who was going down the mountain. It entered her body when she didn't realize it.

"This is a mass of earth energy, which can help a woman conceive, but whether she can conceive depends on her own good fortune." Du Qian explained to Zhang Gai who was not sure why.

Witnessing the "Blessing of the Lord of the Land" with his own eyes, Zhang Gai was excited for a long time, and then he thought that he was also a servant of the grandfather of the land, so he felt a sense of pride, and felt that it was a blessing to be able to work under the grandfather of the land !

The daughter-in-law of Zhang Erqing's family here just came down the mountain, and not long after, a young man carrying two large black-painted wooden boxes on a pole was walking quickly towards the village from a long distance.

This small village does not see a single outsider for ten days and half a month on weekdays, so this person attracted Du Qian's attention as soon as he came, but he did not go directly into the village, but went to the hill where the Earth Temple is, carrying a pole Go up the mountain and come to the Earth Temple.

"Grandpa Land, the little man Xing Liu'er is here to burn incense and kowtow to you. The little man travels to the countryside only to sell some small objects of needles and thread, and prays to Grandpa Land to bless the journey. Don't encounter any wolves, tigers, leopards, bad guys and robbers. If you can come safely and return safely, Xiao Liu'er will burn incense and kowtow to you every month when you come here."

Du Qian laughed in the temple, it turned out that Xing Liu'er was a salesman, his words revealed a witty energy, and his lively and cheerful appearance was very pleasing.

After worshiping the gods, Xing Liu'er carried his suitcase down the mountain, then entered the village, took out a rattle drum from his bosom, and started beating it "dang bang bang bang". After a while, many peasant women and children came out of their homes, shouting Friends gathered around him—it is not easy to meet outsiders in the village, even if you don’t buy his things, it’s good to watch the excitement.

Although this village has a small amount of land, the life of the villagers is still decent because of the rich resources of medicinal materials and wild animals in the mountains. Most people have a few extra money, so Xing Liu'er's business is good, and he sells a lot of things .But just as the sun was setting in the west, he picked up the suitcase and left again - he couldn't make it back before dark.

After the sun went down, Du Qian left the Earth Temple and walked around the village. On the way, he met the Kitchen Goddess again, and he greeted with a smile, "Sister Lin, how are you?" Like a magpie in appearance, the fiery red bird boasted: "This bird is really beautiful."

After getting along for a long time, Du Qian always had a smiling face, and the attitude of the kitchen god became much more friendly. With a smile, she took the bird from her shoulder and held it in her palm, and said to Du Qian, "This is the fire I raised." Ling, it took more than 20 years to cultivate such a fire."

"Fire Spirit?" Du Qian was very curious. Apart from his knowledge of things related to the God of Earth because of his succession to the position of God, he was still ignorant about other gods.

Seeing him looking at him curiously, the Kitchen Goddess couldn't help smiling, and explained: "The hearth of this mortal's house is lit every day, and the fire is constantly burning. After a long time, it is easy to gather the essence of the flames to form a fire spirit. It is short-lived, and usually dissipates by itself in less than half an hour. However, they are naturally fire-loving, and they often fly into the firewood to ignite them, and then cause disasters. Our Kitchen God has the duty to subdue these fire spirits and prevent fires .This fire bird is the first fire spirit I have subdued. Over the years, it has been driven to devour other fire spirits, and finally grows to the point where it can have a shape, but it has transformed into a bird shape."

When the Kitchen Goddess introduced it, the fire bird shook its feathers and jumped back and forth in her palm, bringing up sparks. Du Qian could clearly feel that there was a wave in the sparks that made his spiritual body tremble. I can't help but marvel at the magic of this fire spirit.

The two gods chatted for a while, and because the kitchen god had to go to other houses to check the fire spirits, she left. Du Qian walked around the village, and then went to Nanshan.

The village is surrounded by mountains on all sides. The east side of the mountain is small and flat. It is where the Earth Temple is located. There is a dirt road connecting the outside world.

Nanshan is not big, with little vegetation. It is the cemetery where the ancestors of the villagers are buried for generations. The flat land under the mountain is the land cultivated by the villagers.

The West Mountain and the North Mountain are much steeper and farther-reaching. The West Mountain has many rocky cliffs and produces medicinal materials such as Ganoderma Lucidum and Astragalus.The Beishan Mountain is the highest, and there are mostly dense pines and cypress forests on it. There are many wild animals in it, and it is a place where hunters in the village often go.

As a piece of land, Du Qian has jurisdiction over a land boundary of [-] miles, so not only the entire village, but also the surrounding mountains are also within his scope of responsibility.It was only at this time that he realized that the "mountain god" and the "land" are the same thing.

Therefore, Du Qian has also formed a pattern now. Every other day, he will patrol around, first in the village, then in Nanshan, and then in Xishan and Beishan.Anyway, now he can not only escape from the earth, but also float, and it doesn't take long to make a round.

The cemetery in Nanshan is very clean, and most of the people buried in it have died of old age, so there are no such things as evil spirits and ghosts. It is just because it is a place where corpses are buried, so more or less gathered some Yin Qi .

Du Qian turned around and saw that everything was fine, so he floated towards the west mountain. The cliff of the west mountain was his favorite place to go, because there would always be some rare flowers and plants growing in the rock crevices on the cliff. , for Du Qian, this is like a treasure hunt, which can greatly satisfy his curiosity.Anyway, for him now, there is no difference between a cliff and a flat ground, and there is no need to worry about falling down.

The rain is good this year. On one side of the hill that is not too steep, a large area of ​​wolfberry vines is full of onyx-like wolfberry fruits. Recently, many villagers will come here to pick wolfberry, and it is also an income to sell it to the pharmacy after returning home.

Du Qian knew that there were several nests of snakes living here, some of which were highly poisonous snakes, so this time he came here specially, went to the snake nest to say hello to these snakes, and told them not to go out during the day for the next few days, so as not to be confused with those who came to collect medicine. The villagers clashed.

As a cold-blooded animal, snakes are always indifferent, but they will still listen to Du Qian's words, because through communication, Du Qian's heart will be truly conveyed to them, making them understand that this is also for their safety consider.

After a long period of practice, Du Qian became more and more proficient in using this "psychic" ability. He found that there is no way to lie about this kind of consciousness communication with other creatures, but it is precisely because of this that it is easier to establish trust.

Over time, Du Qian discovered that during this kind of communication, his own heart became brighter and calmer.

Because in the consciousness of these birds and beasts, there are no secular, rules, dogmas and hierarchies in the human world, so they don't need to hide their thoughts, and all their thoughts are in line with their own heart.Under the influence of them, Du Qian also became more and more aware of himself, and unknowingly, he made his state of mind reach the state of internal and external transparency.
