The mountain ghost blows out the lights

Tunan knew that he had to ask this question. He smiled miserably and sighed: "What kind of power. Didn't you see it all? It's gone long ago."

"Me?" Yan Jinping said, "I didn't see anything."

"What's the matter." There was no smile in his eyes, "Didn't you snatch my godhead even if you cried for your father and mother? Why do you really take things in your hands now, but regret it?"

Tunan: "..."

He licked his dry lips, and took a step back with difficulty, guarding against Yan Jinping's sudden attack and cutting off his head with a knife.

How can there be such an aggrieved god in this world who takes care of such a small area, loses all his powers, and pushes the 'good old man' whom he despised in the past to this point.It's just a loss of face, it doesn't make sense.

Tu Nan didn't want to answer Yan Jinping's question.

But in the current situation, life is in the hands of others, and he can't help but think about it.

"I..." He paused, as if trying to organize his words, "I don't know why."

This is the truth. If Tunan knew what was going on, he would not have allowed the situation to develop into what it is today.

He still has the same youthful appearance, with a clear voice, as long as he lowers his eyelids a little, it seems as if he has been wronged: "Those people in the city are crazy, who knows what's going on with them!"

After obtaining the godhead through the capture, Tunan discovered that the gods were not as easy to be as he thought.

Godhead needs the nourishment of faith to exert its due effect, but Tunan... Tunan doesn't know where to get faith.

His godhead was taken by himself, and heaven and earth did not recognize him, only the godhead itself, so Tunan never really received guidance on what a "god" should do.

And because he himself is a newly born spiritual vein and has not been with Yan Jinping for long, so he lacks common sense, and he doesn't know how to deal with things like 'emotions' and 'interpersonal relationships'.

At the very beginning, because Tunan helped people solve the big problem of "the former mountain god who eats people", the people in Tunan City trusted him very much. Even if he did nothing, he could still obtain a steady stream of power from mortals .

But only these are not enough.

"I don't know why." This question has troubled Tunan for a long time, and no one can answer it for him.

He said slowly to Yan Jinping: "Why did my godhead suddenly start to weaken? Did you know what I was going to do, so you tampered with the godhead in advance?"

But it doesn't make sense. If Yan Jinping had anticipated that Tunan would steal his heart, Tunan's plan should not have been successful from the very beginning.

"Do you know?" He asked again persistently, "Why is this?"

Yan Jinping: "..."

He probably understood what was going on, but asked back: "Then what did you do?"

"Me?" Tunan gave him a puzzled look and frowned, "I didn't do anything."

He did become a mountain god, but he never did anything that a mountain god should do.

Tunan never listened to any prayers of the people under his rule, let alone, like Yan Jinping, rushing back and forth for a few short-lived ordinary people to realize their short-sighted wishes.

——He is a god.What qualifications do those superficial and ignorant mortals have to force themselves to do that?

With such thoughts in mind, the mountain god simply ignored the Tunan people's voice and concentrated on enjoying the power he had just obtained.

Tunan seems to be born lacking such an ability of empathy. When he finds that the people he should protect are suffering, the beliefs he receives will be extraordinarily strong and loyal.

In order to make the prayer stronger, he even artificially exacerbated this kind of suffering - natural disasters, man-made disasters, unfortunate coincidences, the more the city of Tunan declines, the more loyal people will be to the gods' prayers.

For the first few years, he did it this way, and it seemed to work.

"Then if that's the case." He said softly, "Why is it useless now?"

It is clear that the Tunan people have suffered as before, and their belief in the mountain god has not weakened. They even built a worship hall and even stipulated so many rules for him.

Why is the power of faith he gained getting worse day by day?

Tunan didn't understand.

And during the years he'd been searching for answers, Tunan had grown weak, very weak.

The gods are based on faith. If the godhead cannot absorb power from the outside world, it will turn to digest the host's own body.

It’s fine if it’s your own godhead, your own things will never kill you, at worst, you will fall into a deep sleep to accumulate strength—but Tunan’s godhead was stolen by him, and for it, Tunan is just an outsider , is a large energy source that can be used by it at will. Naturally, it can be squeezed as it wants.

Before Tunan became a half-hearted mountain god, he was just a spiritual vein, which Tunan didn't understand.

The desire for godhood stems from a desire for power and freedom, which he gains briefly, only to find himself quickly losing his freedom, followed by a slow loss of power.

The mountain god cannot leave the place under his jurisdiction for too long, and must return to the mountain regularly.The range that can be left depends on the ability of the mountain god itself.

Tunan really wants to be worshiped by the Tunan people, but now every household has his statue, and people burn incense and offer offerings to him every day, but his ability and godhead are fading day by day. He doesn't know where it came from problem.

He didn't understand, but Yan Jinping and Shen Lianxing, who heard what he said, understood.

"Oh, I see." Yan Jinping elongated his voice, speaking each word slowly and clearly, "They don't believe you."

Faith collapse is an irreversible process once it starts, and Tunan simply doesn't understand what he has worked so hard to get.

If you treat the mountain god like this, there will be ghosts if you can be good.

Tunan closed his eyes tremblingly, and did not refute.

Kind of funny.

Yan Jinping took Duan Shui off his shoulder, and slowly drew a semicircle in the air, finally pointed the tip of the knife straight at Tu Nan, and asked him, "Are you finished?"

Tunan had nothing to say on his face, and his complexion was pale. His complexion was not good-looking at first, but now he looked even more unhealthy. He didn't look like a mountain god, but like a ghost wandering out of the wilderness.

"Look at you, how can you treat a fairy like this?"

Holding his long knife, Yan Jinping discussed with him politely: "I think they don't need you now anyway, and it's useless to keep your life anyway, so don't take it, okay?"

Tunan: "..."

Of course he didn't want to die, otherwise he wouldn't have talked nonsense with Yan Jinping for so long, but now Yan Jinping has asked what he wanted to ask, whether to die or live... I'm afraid it's not his choice.

"I...I know that I was sorry for you in the past." He cautiously turned to the side, found Yan Jinping's knife point following him, and then gave up moving. He stood still and sighed deeply, weakly trying to let the Yan Jinping changed his mind, "But if you think about it carefully, was it my fault at the beginning?"

Yan Jinping frowned, and slightly raised the point of the knife: "What do you want to say?"

"How easy it is to control people." Seeing something interesting, Tunan immediately persuaded in a soft voice, "Especially in this kind of isolated place with no news... No one knows what kind of group they are like better than you Think about it, who was the person who hurt you the most? Is it really me?"

The young man's gloomy voice was slightly bewitching, trying to divert Yan Jinping's attention to other places.

He looked at Tunan City meaningfully, and gestured: "They don't trust you, they betray you, and they let you be easily destroyed."

"Even so, you have to sympathize with them and help them...get rid of me?"

Tu Nan also knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to beat Yan Jinping now, and this was his quiet show of weakness.

Yan Jinping finally figured out what Tunan was trying to hide.He sneered, but after hearing these words, he didn't feel any irritated. He just shook his head and said with emotion: "It seems that you still don't understand."

After all these years, he still hasn't made much progress, even the incitement is so clumsy - he doesn't understand the core of these things from the root.

"They are knives, Tunan."

"You're the one with the knife."

Just such a waste, how could I ask him to be tricked into that?

When Yan Jinping brought up the water cut off again, he thought it was absurd and ridiculous, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with Tunan, and he didn't say hello.

The location was found accurately, and the thing was done to him before.Gouging out and picking again with the blade, a ball of golden light was picked out.

This is the godhead that Tu Nan once took away from Yan Jinping.

It didn't look like this originally, it was originally bigger, and the color was also thick golden, which contained a heavy power of faith, even among the mountain gods, it could be regarded as a very powerful godhead.

Now there is only a pitiful little dot left, which can hardly maintain its shape when it is exposed to the sun. After shaking a few times, it scattered into countless debris and fell into the ground.

It was originally something from this mountain, and since Yan Jinping no longer needed it, it returned to the forest by itself.

There is no nostalgia for the previous host.

Tunan: "Ah, ah... ah!!"

The pain came without warning, he didn't expect Yan Jinping to act so resolutely and mercilessly, and when he came back to his senses, everything was settled.Before all other thoughts came up, the first thing Tunan felt was severe pain.

He didn't know when he bent down and when he knelt on the ground.The burning pain almost tore his spirit apart.Tunan's pale fingertips sank deeply into the soil, all the small sounds in the mountains disappeared, and only the roar of blood boiling came from his ears.

Like Yan Jinping in the past, he didn't completely rely on the godhead to survive, but just took out the godhead, so he wouldn't die immediately.

After shouting meaninglessly for a long while, Tunan finally stopped shouting gradually, leaving only heavy panting, his trembling arms were unable to support his body, so he had to fall to one side.

He... simply fell back into the dust again.

Still alive in pieces.

Yan Jinping flicked the tip of the knife twice, looked down at Tu Nan's curled up body, and slowly fell into thought.

Tunan can die, but Tunan Mountain cannot live without spiritual veins.

The spirit vein is the vitality of a mountain. If it disappears completely, the plants on the mountain will wither immediately, and the animals will not stay here. From then on, the mountain will be regarded as 'dead'.

How to do it?

He hung the knife beside Tunan's neck, and gestured up and down, left and right twice.

Go straight to the knife?This location does not seem very suitable.

Tunan was pale and trembling, and tried his best to move away from the blade, but he really didn't have the strength. After working hard for a long time, he still stayed where he was.

At this point, struggling is nothing but lingering.

Tunan had almost given up hope, but he couldn't control his emotions.

He used to think that Yan Jinping was pathetic and pitiful, that he was stupid, and that there was no other fool like Yan Jinping in the world.Gullible, kind, and ridiculously vigilant.To plot against him, you don't even need to think of any excuses.

Even if Yan Jinping hid in Yanjing City like a bereaved dog, Tu Nan was unwilling to admit that he had never stopped being jealous of him.

Why?

I have obtained his god position, his followers, everything about him, and he can only drag his broken body back to the town of mortals to linger on his last breath. I don't know where he died.

Why can he still live smoothly, still get the love and trust of so many people, even the heart that he lost, he can make a new one?

Why is Yan Jinping?

Tunan couldn't figure it out.

And during these years in Tunan City, he couldn't figure it out more and more.

"I……"

He opened his mouth hoarsely, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible.

The author says:

The root of everything is jealousy.

...But Tunan is just a young goblin after all, and he doesn't bother to communicate with "mortals" he doesn't like, so until now, he still doesn't understand anything.

There were many things he couldn't understand, especially Yan Jinping.Don't understand his true strength.

This story is not over, there is still a part.
