Pangolin is the Mountain God 26
The pillar of light on Hulu Mountain disappeared, and the statues in the mountain temples on the two opposite mountains were emitting bright light, representing that the god was protecting the world in his own way.
And what they have to do is to protect this god.
With the first successful example, they began to formulate a three-year plan to protect and restore the world's forests. The trees were cut down, the rivers were filled with sewage, and the garbage at the foot of the mountains piled up into mountains.
One by one, they all disappeared.
Instead, there are planted trees, trickling rivers, and cleared grass.
And the most important and indispensable part is to build a 100% replica of the mountain temple on each mountain.
The official plan has not been announced to the public, but people have gradually begun to realize that the strange phenomena that appear from time to time around the world may be related to those mountain temples.
After all, every once in a while, a pillar of light would emerge from the direction of Hulu Mountain and head straight for the second mountain. Then, as if passing a relay, another pillar of light would emerge and head straight for the third mountain.
Then, the last relay's forest will begin to change. The trees will grow wildly, and countless vines will gather at the foot of the mountain and bloom clusters of flowers, turning the town at the foot of the mountain into a fairy tale world.
Not only that, the air around the mountains and forests has begun to improve, the climate is no longer as hot as before, and even people's various sub-health problems seem to be slowly improving.
All these changes cannot be concealed at all.
The authorities had no intention of concealing all the miracles created by the mountain god, but instead waited and watched people's reactions and acceptance before slowly announcing the existence of the mountain god.
Some senior officials have also expressed concerns about this.
"If we rashly announce all this, will it cause anxiety and panic among the people? What if something unexpected happens that goes against our plans..."
The more irritable lieutenant general slammed the table, puffed his beard and glared, and said in a very firm tone: "Then we will nip all accidents in the bud."
"We are not the only living beings in this world. If we disappear, it will have no impact on the world at all."
Without waiting for anyone to speak, he sneered a few more times: "Don't forget, it is humans who are killing this world bit by bit, killing countless gods."
For a moment, the surroundings were quiet and silent.
Although they had never seen such a scene with their own eyes, their imagination was enough to guess that the scene at that time must have been extremely tragic and brutal.
"Now, does anyone have any objections?"
It was extremely quiet all around.
Waves of emotions once again flowed into the mountain temple closest to them, forming a mutually beneficial cycle with the mountains and forests.
More and more people are posting online.
"Our village is at the foot of the mountain. In just a few minutes, many vines and flowers suddenly grew. What's even more miraculous is that my grandmother's asthma was inexplicably cured."
"We live in the town, not at the foot of the mountain, and we can clearly feel that the temperature here is not as hot anymore. The air is better, and the sky is no longer gloomy and foggy."
"What the hell is going on? Is there any big shot who can come out and explain it?"
"I still stick to my original idea. This is definitely a revival of spiritual energy. Our world is about to be upgraded. Maybe in a while, we will see supernatural beings with flames all over their bodies and can fly."
"Have you read too many novels and watched too many movies and TV shows?"
"Then how do you explain why pillars of light appear from every mountain every once in a while, connecting them together? I guess in two years, all the mountains in the world will be connected, just like a spider web."
"Impossible?"
Despite all the speculations online, no one has ever guessed the correct answer.
It wasn't until half a month later that the Internet became lively again.
Led by Hulu Mountain, most of the mountains and forests are connected layer by layer like a spider web, and finally converge into an extremely spectacular picture. Everyone looked up at the sky, and their hearts could not calm down for a long time.
There are even some people with wild imaginations who asked online: Could this be aliens causing trouble?
But why didn’t the official come out to explain from beginning to end?
Everyone was confused and puzzled, and could only watch as the pillars of light across the sky gradually dissipated as time went by. It seemed that everything had returned to calm, but everyone knew that things were not over yet.
After a while, a new round of news began to appear on the Internet about a certain mountain village or town growing a large number of vines, and the flowers, plants and trees in the park became even more lush. Several old trees were rejuvenated and grew more than ten meters tall.
All of this brings considerable emotional power to the mountain temples around, which is then transformed into more spiritual energy, continuing to improve the surrounding environment and air.
At this time, the authorities began to release information about the mountain temple bit by bit.
At the beginning, people scoffed at this and thought it was all nonsense. Even if aliens and the revival of spiritual energy were used as excuses, they were more reasonable than having it all be related to the mountain god.
Mountain god?
This priesthood doesn't sound very impressive.
Besides, how could there be a God in this world?
But as one person after another posted online, they said that before the strange phenomenon appeared in the mountains where they were, several groups of troops had gone up the mountain and stationed there for a period of time.
Every day, a large amount of cement, steel bars, stone bricks and other materials were sent to the mountain, as if something was being built. Ten days later, these people left, leaving only a dozen soldiers to guard the mountain pass.
Not long passed.
The soldiers told them that they could go up the mountain at will, but they were not allowed to destroy the trees, flowers and plants. After going up the mountain, they could go to the mountain temple to worship.
Mountain temple?
Only then did they understand what these people were busy doing on the mountain. It turned out that they were building a mountain temple.
They went up the mountain with curiosity.
Then, they saw the most magical scene in their life.
The mountain temple actually glowed and grew countless vines and flowers. Then the entire mountain changed its appearance, including their village.
Then, the soldiers asked them not to tell anyone about this within six months.
Half a year?
One after another, people came forward and said that they had received the same request, that they were not allowed to tell anyone about the mountain temple within six months.
The mountain temple, the light pillar, the mountains and the villages and towns surrounding the mountains and forests, these clues, when pieced together, seem to really point to the most incredible truth.
——Do mountain gods really exist?
They were skeptical until another mountain forest was planning to build a mountain temple. The local villagers heard the rumor from somewhere and believed that the mountain temple would be harmful to the village, so they firmly opposed its construction.
But in the end, the village could not resist the official's mandatory requirements. On the day when the mountain temple was built on the mountain, the village did not experience any strange phenomena like other villages.
Everything was exceptionally peaceful.
The officials were worried, and a lieutenant general was even sent to the mountain god temple to try to communicate with the mountain god to find out the reason.
However, the mountain temple remained quiet.
——It’s as if the mountain god has abandoned this place.
The authorities did not dare to invite Zhao He over, for fear of getting the answer they were afraid of. They found the villagers and said they could help them move to the town and provide them with corresponding subsidies, hoping that they would evacuate the village.
Most people in the village agreed.
Only a few people still choose to stay here, saying that they are old and do not want to move. As usual, the government gave them some subsidies and told them not to go up the mountain again in the future.
The villagers naturally agreed, but privately felt that the emergence of the mountain temple had destroyed the original life of their village and caused most of the familiar people to leave.
They also felt bored staying here.
But if I move away, I feel reluctant to leave the place where I have lived for decades, and I am even more resistant to the appearance of the mountain temple.
In fact, Luo Chen would not be angry about such a small matter, nor would he take it to heart. In fact, all his attention was focused on a certain city, carefully sensing every place underground.
His expression gradually became solemn.
The edge of this city happened to be shrouded in a trace of spiritual energy. If it weren't for his exquisite control over the spiritual energy, he would probably have overlooked the specialness of this place.
In order to verify his guess, Luo Chen began to mobilize a large amount of spiritual energy to spread to the city in order to better detect every place underground.
The next second, his expression became serious.
Hulu Mountain.
Zhao He was bending over to harvest rice. Even in the hot summer, the village was still cool and comfortable. He felt a cool breeze blowing, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and was filled with joy.
The money from selling this batch of rice is just enough to buy Ni'er a new exercise book, some nice clothes and hairpins, as well as the best and freshest fruits that the mountain god likes the most.
Zhao Xiaolu walked home with brisk steps. When she passed the river that had once caused her to be paralyzed, she was no longer as scared and frightened as before.
She knew that the mountain god would protect her.
But the children in the village were all reminded by their parents: "Follow Zhao Ni'er home after school and pay more attention to her safety. You know, if she loses a hair, watch out for your butt!"
The children had always kept their distance from Zhao Ni'er, a top student, and now they were even more frightened and scared. Every time Zhao Ni'er crossed the bridge, their hearts would jump.
It was not until Zhao Xiaolu safely crossed the river that the children patted their chests exaggeratedly to express their relief.
Zhao Xiaolu covered her mouth and laughed several times. It was obvious that all this was irrelevant to her before, and it would not affect her emotions or mood.
But now, she feels in a particularly good mood every day. When she looks at the mountains, she thinks they are extremely beautiful. When she looks at the water, she thinks it is extremely beautiful. Even the ordinary flowers, plants and trees on the roadside make her so happy.
Because all of this... is closely related to the Lord Mountain God.
Even the sound of the wind seemed to carry the mountain god's concern for her, drying the sweat from her forehead.
She squinted her eyes happily, and her ponytail bounced in the air.
When they got home, Zhao Xiaolu's mother had already prepared the meal. Zhao He was in charge of carrying heavy objects. After a quick wash of his face and neck, he hurriedly took off Zhao Xiaolu's heavy schoolbag and asked with concern, "Are you tired today, Ni'er? Are your arms and legs sore?"
Zhao Xiaolu obediently shook her head and helped her mother serve the rice. Thinking of the sudden gust of wind today, she said to her parents, "It was such a strong wind today. It must be the mountain god coming to see me."
Zhao He also remembered the cool breeze between the fields and forests, but he didn't think it was the mountain god. However, he agreed, "Our Ni'er is so smart and sensible. The mountain god likes you the most."
Zhao Xiaolu smiled shyly, "No, it's not."
When the Zhao He family finished their meal, another gust of wind blew into the house, mixed with the faint fragrance of grass and flowers, and a majestic yet gentle voice came from the wind.
"Long time no see."
Zhao He and his wife, as well as Zhao Xiaolu, were all stunned and stood there, feeling an incredible surprise and disbelief.
It’s the Mountain God!
Zhao He was so excited that Ni'er's previous rumor suddenly came to his mind, and he wanted to slap himself.
Maybe that gust of wind was really sent by the mountain god!
"Lord Mountain God." Zhao Xiaolu's eyes sparkled, and she looked around hurriedly, trying to find Luo Chen's figure in the wind swirling in the house. "Where are you?"
As soon as the words fell, the sound of the wind disappeared, and a pangolin appeared in the house out of nowhere. The Zhao He family was stunned for a moment, "Lord... Mountain God?"
Their tone was a little hesitant.
Because the pangolin in front of them was at least several times smaller than the mountain god they had seen before, it could almost fit in the palm of their hand.
Pangolin nodded slightly, his voice as authoritative as ever, "Sit down. I need you to do something."
Zhao He nodded without thinking.
"Contact the authorities and have them immediately notify the people of this city within the hour, saying that a major earthquake is about to strike."
Zhao He's eyes widened instantly.
earthquake?
Pangolin then proceeded to explain the second thing: "Have them send a helicopter to take you to that city. When the earthquake occurs, you must immediately awaken the statue as you did before."
Statue of a deity?
Zhao He nodded hurriedly and turned to run: "I'll go find them right away."
Luo Chen looked at the two people who were full of worry but never said a word to stop him, and said in a calm and firm voice: "I will bring Zhao He back safely."
Zhao He's wife held the child's hand tightly and said, "We know, but I'm wondering if this will harm your body."
Luo Chen felt a slight warmth in his heart, and his voice was filled with the confidence that only a god could have, looking down upon all living things: "No, including everyone in that city, no one will die."
Zhao Xiaolu mustered up her courage and gently pinched... the pangolin's claws. She whispered, "I'll pray for the mountain god."
This little guy looks particularly serious.
Luo Chen chuckled: "Okay."
At the same time, Zhao He ran as fast as he had ever run in his life, and rushed to the foot of the mountain. He found the soldiers resting in the pavilion and said, "Quick, tell your superiors! There's going to be a major earthquake in X City!"
The soldier's eyes widened instantly, and he could barely speak. "Where did you—" His voice suddenly stopped, and then he shuddered: "Y-Did the mountain god say that?"
Zhao He was already out of breath, holding onto the window and nodding desperately.
The soldier's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly dialed an internal phone to report this important news to his superiors. Regardless of whether the news was true or not, he could not afford to gamble with the consequences.
When the superiors received this information, they were shocked and panicked. They hurriedly reported it to the higher-ups, layer by layer, until it finally reached the top. After only a few minutes of discussion, they immediately made a decision.
"Immediately notify all citizens of City X to go to open areas to avoid the earthquake and evacuate all people."
"Quick, everyone move!"
Ahhhh, I'm spinning up. I received two grenades!
I would like to give a very special thanks to Bei Ming Yi Tiao Yu for the two grenades, and the cute little Shang Hao Jia for the mines. I am so happy, I am so blessed.
