Chapter 14: Building a Mountain Temple
In order to avoid more regrets, the village chief Wumu discussed with everyone to build the mountain temple as soon as possible.
Because as long as there is a mountain god temple, their village will be protected by the mountain god and they will no longer have to worry about being "invaded" by monsters.
The mountain god does not eat humans, but he has a lot of rules. For example, the location must be near a mountain.
Village chief Wumu thought about it and agreed. Since he was a mountain god, the closer to the mountain he was, the better.
The closer to the mountain, the stronger He becomes, and the more likely He is to exert powerful strength!
"Aqiu..."
Yang Xiangwei sneezed.
Who is missing me?
As for Feng Shui, Village Chief Wumu didn't quite understand it, but the Mountain God said that we should choose a place with open terrain and good views.
He thought that it should be "the higher you stand, the farther you can see". If the vision is not good, the mountain god will not be able to see what happens in the village.
Therefore, this "perspective" must be very important.
His son Wu Zhuo, who was following him, had a headache: "Dad, what kind of place do you want to choose?"
"Of course we have to choose a good place for the Mountain God. Come here and stand here and take a look. Can you see our entire village from here?"
Wu Zhuo stood over and found that the view from this position was indeed good, right...
"Dad, isn't this a bit far from our village? If something happens, can the mountain god make it there?"
"You can only see if you have a good vision. If you can't see, it's useless."
Wu Zhuo: "Dad, have you forgotten that our village is so small? It doesn't matter if the view is good or not, we just need to howl. On the contrary, here, the view is good, but by the time the mountain god rushes over, someone might have already been harmed."
After comparing, Wu Mu Village Chief was a little hesitant.
"And, Dad, what are you going to do with the statue of the mountain god?" Wu Zhuo reminded, "We don't even know what the mountain god looks like. Even if we hire a master, he won't know how to carve it."
Village chief Wumu slapped his forehead. Yes, he only remembered asking how the mountain temple was built, but he forgot about the statue.
Village chief Wumu made a trip to Huangshan.
Yang Xiangwei had also forgotten about the statue and said, "Forget it. I'll give you a rock from Huangshan Mountain when the time comes and you can carry it back. As for my statue... we'll talk about it later."
Compared to the statues, Yang Xiangwei feels that the mountain temple is the most important.
Having a mountain god temple is equivalent to marking out the territory. Then you can invite a "clone" back and He will be able to descend.
As for the details later, they will be improved slowly later.
When the village chief Wumu heard that the person being invited was "mountain stone", he thought that this was Yang Xiangwei's true body. Without thinking too much, he went back to continue to preside over the construction of the mountain temple.
Because of the limited conditions in the village, Yang Xiangwei did not require them to build a green tile brick house, but only required it to be wide, big, clean and sturdy.
After all, if something happens in the village in the future and he is too late to get there, they can also run into the mountain temple and hide.
"The Mountain God Temple is a symbol of my authority, and is equivalent to a protective device. When you are in danger, you can hide in the Mountain God Temple."
"Ah, hide in the mountain temple?" Village Chief Wumu was stunned for a moment, and asked cautiously, "Lord Mountain God, is it true? Can we really... hide in it at any time?"
He remembered that for other gods, their territories were sacred and inviolable. Except for elders, messengers and the like, no one else could approach easily.
Ordinary people can only enter the temple when they need to offer sacrifices.
Yang Xiangwei smiled and said, "Of course, otherwise why would I ask you to build a mountain temple? The mountain temple is not only a place for me to stay, but also a place to protect you."
Village chief Wumu was in a daze. He returned to the mountain temple that was under construction in the village and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Didn't you go up the mountain to look for the mountain god? Did you go or not?"
Village Chief Wumu turned around and saw his son Wuzhuo. He said blankly, "Do you know what the mountain god just said to me?"
"What did I tell you?"
"The mountain god said that this mountain temple is not only his shelter, but also ours. So if we encounter any danger, we can enter the mountain temple immediately..." said the village chief Wumu. "Do you understand? We can enter the mountain temple at any time."
Wu Zhuo was not able to react for a moment and said, "Isn't this normal? If we don't go in, how can we burn incense to Him?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit by Wumu Village Chief: "You mean anytime, anytime, understand? Normally, those temples can be entered casually by people like us?"
Wu Zhuo understood instantly and froze: "Dad means that the mountain god... allows us to go in at any time?"
"Yes, especially when we encounter danger. If He cannot get us there in time, He will let us enter the Mountain God Temple, saying that the Mountain God Temple is a symbol of His authority and also a protective device."
"No wonder the mountain god asked us to build the mountain temple a little bigger. I was wondering why we should build such a big temple for such a small village. It's such a waste..."
Before he could finish his words, Wu Zhuo was slapped by his father again.
But this time, he did not feel wronged. Instead, he felt warm in his heart and full of joy.
Suddenly remembering something, Wu Zhuo exclaimed, "Dad, what did you just say? A protective weapon?! This mountain temple will become a protective weapon in the future?!"
Oh My God!
Isn't this something that only nobles can possess?
I heard that each protective device is very expensive and not affordable for ordinary people.
Even those knights, the swords in their hands and the armor they wear are not necessarily protective weapons.
"Well! Otherwise, why do you think I am so surprised?" Village Chief Wumu once again looked at the mountain temple that was under construction and said, "A protective magic weapon. We ordinary people can't even get access to it, but we actually have it, and we built it with our own hands..."
If there could only be one mountain temple in a place, the village chief Wumu would like every household to build a mountain temple.
If that's the case, then doesn't it mean that every household in their Yilan Village has a protective device?
At this time, Chief Wumu did not know that his dream would come true in the future, because in addition to the temple, there is something else that can be taken home, called a "shrine".
A tablet or a statue of a god, as long as you bring it home, enshrine it in the shrine, and offer it sincerely with three incense sticks in the morning and evening, it will protect you.
There are also various things that have been enlightened and consecrated, such as incense ash, talisman paper, talisman strings, etc. All kinds of things that we see in daily life, as long as you ask the mountain god to consecrate them, they can become protective magic tools or even offensive magic tools.
Of course, Village Chief Wu Mu didn’t know this at the moment. He just told everyone that the Mountain God Temple was not only the shelter of the Mountain God, but would also be their sanctuary in the future.
Everyone cheered and worked more carefully to build the mountain temple, using whatever was sturdy and trying to make it taller and larger.
If it is impossible to complete it in one go, then leave enough space for expansion in the future.
They believe that once other people know that their village has this treasure, more people will want to come to their village.
