After being forced to debut in metaphysics, I became popular

In previous commissions, Yan Shixun once met a client who wanted him to help exorcise evil spirits, saying that someone died in the family for no reason, but when asked about the details, he hesitated and refused to elaborate. It was still Yan Shixun. Xun directly figured out the whole story based on the face of the client and the circumstances at the time.

There was an old man in the client's family, and because of the tradition of the family, he went to the mountains for a secret burial.I just asked Mr. Feng Shui to calculate the location of the burial. When I broke the ground and excavated, I dug the wrong location because of the sloppyness of the client's brother. The digging was off by one meter, so I had to dig a new one at the originally calculated location. .

The Feng Shui master who went to see it changed his face when he saw the two graves on the ground, and asked the client's family to quickly fill up the wrong pit.

But in order to be lazy, the client brother didn't care about this matter. Instead, he sneered at Mr. Feng Shui and directly drove him away.

'Your family only needs to bury one, why open two graves?If you don't fill it in immediately, one day this tomb will be useful to your family. After leaving these words, Mr. Feng Shui shook his sleeves and left.

And when the old man in the client's family is buried, according to the rules there, he needs to set up a shed next to the grave to guard the grave for three days.Unexpectedly, on the first night, the client brother fell into the wrongly dug grave next to it and died because he was too drunk and couldn't see the way in the dark.

Next to the new tomb, a new tomb was erected.

The words left by Mr. Feng Shui have become a reality. Since he doesn't want to fill the grave, the two graves can be used.

It's just that at that time, instead of soil, bones will be used.

The client was terrified, so he came to Yan Shixun, wanting to know if this matter would continue to involve other people in the family, and wanted Yan Shixun to help drive away the troublemakers.

But at that time, after Yan Shixun figured out the whole story, he was already very clear.

This thing is over.

Since there are two graves, the errand who handles the matter will take away two people.The cause has been formed, and the result must respond.

At this time, when Yan Shixun saw the records of the mountain temple that had been left to rot in the utility room, and could use the description "the village digs trees, and the people eat the mountains", he couldn't help but think of the time when he There is no commission to take over, and when I came, I saw the bare Wolf Peak without a tree in the car.

There has always been a habit of brushwork and short notes of major events in China, which can be summarized to the extent of "digging trees in the village", which is definitely not to say that a villager digs a tree and walks away.

Instead, all the villagers moved, dug up all the trees on the Wild Wolf Peak, and turned all the available resources in the mountain into money and food for themselves.

The holes left by the dug-out trees are left on the Yelang Peak, all over the mountains and plains, like graves dug for themselves by the villagers who dig and sell trees without restraint.

Not only did it completely destroy the feng shui of Yelang Peak, but it also made it impossible for Yelang Peak to feed back the power of vegetation and creatures to the mountain gods.

Fate and feng shui were broken, and Yelang Peak became a dustpan full of holes in the sieve, unable to retain any spiritual energy, but because of the loss of the barrier, evil spirits took advantage of the opportunity to invade this originally peaceful and prosperous land even more recklessly. land.

On the other hand, the loss of trees also makes the soil layer of Yelangfeng mountain and the original ecosystem fragile. It doesn’t even need extreme weather, just a few consecutive rainstorms may cause problems such as landslides and mudslides. As far as the village is concerned, it is a disaster.

Originally, the power of the mountain god comes from all the creatures on the land under its jurisdiction. Not only people's beliefs and incense will strengthen the power of the mountain god, but also the mountains and forests with lush trees and plants and animals will also give the mountain god powerful power, so that the mountain god can bless The people, deter evil and Chong, and ensure a rich and safe life for all the people.

While the nearby villagers have a good harvest, they will also be more grateful for the protection of the mountain god, so they will offer incense offerings, and their beliefs will be fed back to the mountain god, thus forming a virtuous circle.

However, if during this period, the villagers were bewitched by the evil gods and lost their minds, and were no longer satisfied with a rich life as they used to be, but came up with crooked ideas, the chain of virtuous circle would be broken forever.

The power of the mountain god is rapidly draining, but the power of the evil god will increase rapidly because of the worship and belief of the villagers. Between falling and rising, the mountain god is likely to become the disadvantaged party.

Yan Shixun stared down at the ink stains on the wet and soft rice paper, slightly dazed.

Will it be this time?

More than ten years ago, the villagers may have cut down all the trees on the Wild Wolf Peak out of their own greed or bewitched by the evil gods, and pushed the mountain god who had protected them from the throne with their own hands. , but instead worshiped the evil god as a mountain god.

Therefore, the power of the mountain god was completely lost, leaving only an empty seat of the righteous god, which was grandly occupied by the evil god.In the end, the mountain god who has been nourishing and guarding one side of the land without reservation has been robbed of a temple, and he has been driven to a corner, barely relying on the strength of the past believers.

...Really, let the wolf into the house.

Yan Shixun thought about many possibilities, such as natural disasters, such as the destruction of the way of heaven, but he did not expect that the protected person would destroy his own foundation.

He remembered the murals he had seen in the main hall.

Those villagers were hung on the wall with their souls as markers, and they were only used as items to show off by the evil gods, but they did not receive any nourishment or protection.Moreover, those villagers have incomplete souls, and they don't even have the possibility of going to the underworld to reincarnate.

It's not even just the murals, the ghosts that appeared in the atrium, the scarecrows that broke into the main hall... might all be villagers from back then.

—Is this what they want?

For the immediate benefit of the year, he drove away the mountain god, and enshrined the evil god who promised to give wealth as his own god, but he just turned himself into such a fate.

A sense of sadness spread from Yan Shixun's heart.

He really wanted to meet that mountain god face to face, and ask him—do you hate him?Resent those villagers who abandoned the mountain god?

"There are many ways you wouldn't have ended up where you are now."

Yan Shixun lowered his eyebrows, rearranged and stacked the rice papers that were originally scattered with his slender fingers, and his tone was as flat as sitting and chatting with that mountain god.

"The villagers used to offer you the incense and the power you possessed. If you have not unreservedly fed back all these powers to the villagers, then at the very least, you can still retain the power to deal with crises, instead of losing it because of the interruption of the cycle. I have gained the power to fight against those evil things. I saw the record in the records of the Mountain God Temple, the output of the nearby villages and the money each household got in that year. The animals in the forest told them that they were not allowed to destroy the farmland and made the land fertile and suitable for crops to grow. Back then, the fields around here would not have had such a high yield, and even if the villagers didn’t dig up trees and destroy the mountains, they could still be called rich.”

"Or, when the villagers are bewitched by the evil gods and do wrong things, you can stop the losses in time, and severely warn and punish those villagers. Maybe they will not continue to act like this without fear, but will die out of fear." Stop. In that case, although you are injured, everything is still too late."

"But, you didn't do anything." Yan Shixun asked the quiet air, "Why?"

The dilapidated and dimly lit house was silent, without any echo, only the sound of the rainstorm beating against the eaves of the house.

After a long time, a shallow sigh came from the air, as shallow as Yan Shixun's auditory hallucination.

——Because, although they have made mistakes, they will not be punished... They are no longer children running around the sacred tree. They have their own judgments and responsibilities, and they should bear the consequences for their choices.The reasons they choose, good or bad, no one else can interfere with, not even me.

It's just that they need to bear the evil consequences of the evil causes themselves.That's all.

Like a mother's lowered brows and eyes, the brows are full of kindness and tenderness.

Even the rain-soaked and cold house seemed to be surrounded by warmth.

Yan Shixun's hand, which was arranging the rice paper, paused for a while, and then continued to straighten and fold the rice paper as if nothing had happened, and put it in a dry place in the house, so as not to prevent the severely corroded rice paper from being damaged again. damaged.

"But even though you said you wouldn't intervene, you still relented and didn't leave here. Instead, you continued to watch over the dead villagers in the mountain temple."

The faint light fell on Yan Shixun's long and narrow eyes, as if illuminating a pool of sea water, clear and sober.

"Otherwise, you wouldn't stick to the old statue and insist on staying in the main hall, and you wouldn't rely on a little strength gathered from the mountain temple records to barely support yourself, living in such a dilapidated and leaky house. "

The mountain god did not refute what Yan Shixun said, but fell silent.

This allowed Yan Shixun, who had originally mixed up true and false information to tentatively ask, to confirm his guess.

——Those villagers had indeed all died that year.

That being the case, I am afraid that the entire area including Wild Wolf Peak has already fallen into the hands of the evil god, and there is no living person left in the nearby villages. The scarecrow guards the fields for the evil gods, or obtains the yang energy of the living to become a power supply.

And the souls of the villagers turned into ghosts standing in a daze in the atrium.

Because the evil god took away part of the souls of the villagers and painted them on the walls of the main hall as a means of control and a sign of showing off, the ghosts with incomplete souls did not respond to the outside world, even if Yan Shixun stood beside the ghosts In front of him, he still kept looking up at the evil god in the main hall.

I don't know if I still believe in the evil god as fanatically as before, or if I am regretting and want to get back the missing part of my soul from the evil god.

But these things have never been known to the outside world, even in the circle of people who have been engaged in exorcising ghosts and suppressing evil spirits all year round, no news has been revealed. No one knows that there is a place where evil gods took away the seat of the mountain god and turned day and night into black and white. , and all the villagers die.

I'm afraid it was made by the mountain god.

The gentle mountain god neither wants the villagers who have become evil spirits to hurt others, nor does he want those exorcists to know the truth about Yelang Peak, so he handed over the incomplete souls of the villagers to the underworld .The mountain god knew very well that the villagers would not be able to reincarnate if their souls were incomplete, they would just be scattered on the spot and turned into ashes, no matter good or evil, they would have no chance of reincarnation.

So the mountain god used the remaining power to protect her people for the last time, and trapped all the villages near the wild wolf peak, including the mountain temple, in the rainstorm. barrier.

Perhaps, the mountain god is waiting for a moment when he can send the souls of those villagers who are kind and have done nothing wrong, and get a chance to reincarnate.

Because of the acquiescence of the mountain god, the last fragment of thinking was put together.

In the blink of an eye, Yan Shixun thought everything through, all the story sequences were smoothed out, and the logic formed a closed loop.

He finally knew the cause and effect of Wild Wolf Peak.I also know why divination cannot be done here, asking gods to ask gods, etc. All orthodox methods that require ghosts and gods to respond to borrowing power are all ineffective.

God dies.

An upright god who never made mistakes died here. For heaven and earth, the Tao here has collapsed, and the villagers have turned from humans to ghosts, and the land has lost all vitality.

It's an abandoned place.

In the eyes of heaven and earth, this land is already full of sins, and it has been taken over by the dead mountain god, so there is no need to respond.

That's why Yan Shixun was like standing in a closed metal box, unable to get a response from heaven and earth.

As for those villagers...

Yan Shixun did not believe that the officials would turn a blind eye to the disappearance or death of all the people in a whole village.He guessed that more than ten years ago, the authorities had already learned about this matter, and had sent people to try to solve the problem here, but they failed repeatedly. The nearby things spread.

This place has become a deserted place placed by the heaven and earth and the government. For more than ten years, the mountain god has never given up fighting for power from the evil god, so as to continue to protect her people, and the dead villagers, their souls It has also been trapped here for too long, becoming dazed and confused.

Only mountain gods.

Only the dead mountain god still did not give up and wanted to protect her people.

from beginning to end.

Yan Shixun, who had figured everything out, couldn't help but feel a little moved. Between the corners of his sharp eyes and the brows, he unconsciously revealed a soft emotion, with respect and admiration for the mountain god.

"If it were me, I would be very willing to send them to experience the punishment of the underworld, so that they can realize what they did wrong."

The man who had been standing quietly by the door suddenly spoke out, his deep magnetic voice carried a majestic aura, as if the words spoken from his mouth were the final sentence.

The man's pale, thin lips slightly pulled up, showing a sneer for a moment: "They should be thankful that they met such an overly soft-hearted god like you - to feed a mountain and river with your body, even at the expense of breaking yourself The mountain god is rare."

There seemed to be a wry smile in the air.

It is not only agreeing with the man's words, but also laughing at his own situation.But in that laughter, there was still no trace of remorse, but gentleness as always, even if there was something wrong, he would only be harsh on himself.

——Mountain gods are not gods, but the earth and mountains, lakes and fields.It doesn't matter whether I exist or not, where my power comes from, I should go back there.The power lent to me by the creatures of vegetation, I should use it for their protection.

I just can't worry about those good children. They shouldn't be trapped in the Wild Wolf Peak by their families and cannot leave. I want to watch them leave with my own eyes and go to the next stage of life.That's why I have been guarding in the mountain temple, using my remaining strength to give them the last shelter, waiting for time for a miracle to happen.And now, I have finally waited for that moment.

The avenue is 49, and the hexagram is only 63.

Heaven and earth will never allow things to be truly perfect, but will always reach perfection, but there is a glimmer of life left for people to explore and resist.

And now, that one, the mountain god finally arrived.

Because the heavy rain washed away the originally planned route to the Wild Wolf Peak, the director Zhang Wubing had to change the route, but because he opened the way ahead and due to physical problems, he accidentally ran into the barrier set by the mountain god. Entering the Wild Wolf Peak in the torrential rain also made Yan Shixun enter the mountain temple, and saw the mountain gods and evil spirits who had been trapped here for more than ten years.

The last hexagram that was not completed, the last hexagram that was not exhausted, was finally completed at this time.

In the void, the mountain god's eyes fell gently on Yan Shixun, amazed by this completely different human ghost exorcist.

Falling into a place where heaven and earth have no answer but not panic, being in the boundary of ghosts and gods but not relying on the power of ghosts and gods, but being proud of one's own identity, smashing evil gods with a mortal body is worthy of killing gods.

Such a ghost exorcist who does not stick to the rules of the world, but has his own judgment and clear good and evil, is the miracle she has been waiting for for more than ten years...

Yan Shixun noticed the gaze that fell on him, as if the warm sunshine was shining on him, making him feel warm and comfortable and relaxed, gentle and leisurely, incompatible with the cold and dark surroundings.

Is it the old mountain god?

Yan Shixun thought about it, and before he had time to study the doubts brought to him by the man's sudden utterance just now, he put on a serious expression and said seriously: "Since the villagers of Yelang Peak have died, there is a natural boundary between the dead and the living. , should no longer be stranded in the human world, even being trapped in this place is not a safe approach."

"The dead have a place where they should go...and you have worked very hard to accompany them through the journey one after another. It is time to say goodbye."

Yan Shixun slowly raised his slender palm forward, stretched it out into the empty space, and slowly flattened his palm upwards, as if waiting for someone's hand to hold his hand.

"Mountain God..."

His expression was serious: "It's time to let go. Unlock the restrictions of the rainstorm, let those remnant souls go where they should go. I assure you, all karma will be liquidated, and there is no way to do evil." People, will not and should not get a bad result."

"And those who have done evil things and even caused the death of gods." Yan Shixun's eyes flashed sharply, and his light red lips spat out cruel words mercilessly: "They should go to the underworld, Usher in the judgment that belongs to them, and repeatedly recall the evil they have done in this life in the pain of hell."

Suddenly, circles of ripples appeared in the originally empty air, and even the surrounding scenery was blurred.

And a translucent figure slowly emerged from the air.

The mountain god's eyebrows are downcast and compassionate. Even though she has experienced the betrayal and injury of the people she sheltered, and even lost her god's position because of it, and she is on the verge of broken death, there is no trace of resentment or anger on her soft face. Still as gentle as ever.

The children who chased and played around the sacred tree in the village have long since grown up. They got married and gave birth to their own children, but they are no longer satisfied with the rice in the fields, and what they see in their eyes is no longer the beautiful scenery of mountains and forests. A smooth and happy life with the village, but money, money, endless money.

Greed made those children break free from her protection, turned back into the arms of the evil god, listened to the whispers of the evil god in their ears, and destroyed the entire Wild Wolf Peak for their temporary prosperity.

However, everything you get will come back one day...

The evil god did not use its power to protect those children, but kept luring them to overdraw the aura of the Wolf Peak, telling them that there would be no problem doing so, causing the creatures on the Wolf Peak to lose everything they needed to survive and become became a place of death.

And those children who were blinded by greed also ushered in the time for them to repay their debts.

The evil god is asking them for the debts owed by the extra wealth.

If you can't repay the debt, you will pay with your body and soul.Those children became servants of the evil god, guarding the fields for the evil god to harvest, and trying to hurt other innocent people for the evil god, just to give their power to the evil god...

The sacred tree has long been cut down, and the ribbons that were once hung on the sacred tree by the old people and children with smiles on their faces have also faded in the wind and rain.

For a long time, no one thought of the existence of the mountain god.

However, the mountain god, who had lost his position as a righteous god and was on the verge of disappearing, suddenly heard someone crying and begging her.

——"Mountain God, please help me, I don't want to be trapped here, looking at the faces of these relatives and neighbors who have done wrong things every day."

The young woman was crying in the mural, obviously controlled by the evil god, but her kindness and strong belief that she never did evil still made her voice reach the ears of the mountain god.

The mountain god recognized her. When the child was young, he tied a piece of red rope he wove to the branch of the sacred tree, and said with a red face that it was a gift for the mountain god.

This is a good boy and shouldn't be stuck here.

——"Mountain God, I know I was wrong. I am willing to sacrifice to you every day in the future. Please save me and my family."

——"Mountain God! I used to serve you the rice as a reward for the next year's harvest. But now I am standing in the rice field and guarding the field, being used as a scarecrow to drive away birds. Pay off the debt and the soul cannot be peaceful day and night. Why! Why are you not merciful!"

——"Shanshen grandma, I want to see my mother, can you help me? She didn't come back after she went to the mountain temple. My brother took my eyes, and my father said that my mother was taken away by God. I I can't find my mother, Grandma Shanshen, can you give me back my mother?"

——"Mountain God... I have been working in the fields all my life, and I have never withheld any sacrifices for you. I am also grateful to you for allowing us to feed our children, fill our stomachs, and have surplus food to enrich our families. But Why, let me get old and suffer this kind of crime? Please save me, let me really die."

——"Mountain God..."

……

All kinds of voices are mixed together, ringing in the ears of the mountain god all the time.

She tenderly gazed at the handsome young man in front of her, stretched out her hand tied with a faded red string, and slowly put the soft, rounded palm into Yan Shixun's outstretched palm.

"it is good."

"Please send those good children to the next stage of life they should have gone to."

A golden light suddenly lit up in Yan Shixun's hands.

At this moment, the words of the mountain god became an unchangeable oath, forming a yin-yang contract with Yan Shixun.

God is asking man to do something that God has not been able to accomplish.

Yan Shixun looked back at the gentle eyes of the mountain god, those sharp eyes couldn't help but ripple like broken light, glowing with a rare tenderness.

"it is good."

"Please rest assured, I will fulfill your commission."

"The cycle of cause and effect is clear, and those who have evil causes will have evil results, and those who are good will be reborn."
