Chapter 168 The Goddess Statue: A Story That's Hard to Explain



Kui Kui did not venture deeper into the mountains, but returned to Wangjia Village and came to the graves of Old Lady Wang and Yan Shi'an.

She personally carved the tombstone for Yan Shi'an and kowtowed three times.

She knelt in the snow, knowing it was cold, yet unable to feel it.

She remembered that Yan Shi'an was her mother, and she also remembered how depressed and sad she was when her mother left, but she could no longer feel that way now.

Kui Kui sighed softly and muttered to herself, "This is for the best."

She stood up and said to A-Da behind her, "I'm very relieved to leave Wangjia Village to you. I don't know if I'll ever come back, so I'll leave the care of my mother's and grandmother's graves to you."

Ah Da wanted to follow Kui Kui, but since Kui Kui had already spoken, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

He bowed and said, "Yes."

Thank you.

Ah Da scratched his head awkwardly and said, "My benefactor, you're too kind. It's what I should do."

Kui Kui didn't say anything more and left with his younger brother Kui.

Ah Da watched his younger brother Kui's figure gradually shrink as he watched him go, feeling very envious.

He did not leave until his younger brother Kui completely disappeared into the snowstorm.

The villagers of Wangjia Village had already gotten up and saw a Hulk standing in front of Old Lady Wang's grave from afar.

"Mountain God! The Mountain God is here!" a villager shouted.

Hearing the commotion, many villagers came out to see the true face of the mountain god.

The villagers had long heard of the legend of the mountain god, and some had even seen it with their own eyes when they went to the back mountain.

But the other villagers didn't believe him, thinking he was just seeing things.

After all, they had never heard of any mountain god; in the past, it was always shamans who protected the peace of this area.

However, after Old Lady Wang passed away and Kui Kui left Wangjia Village, no more spirit mediums emerged in their village.

Now they're safe and sound, protected by the mountain god!

“I told you there was a mountain god, but you didn’t believe me. Last time I went to the back mountain, I was almost buried in the snow, and it was the mountain god who saved me.” As he spoke, a villager immediately knelt down.

Once the first person knelt down, a second one soon followed.

Soon, the entire village was kneeling.

However, no one recognized that the mountain god was the same zombie Ah Da from before.

Seeing this, Ah Da blushed on his green face and couldn't say a word. He covered his face, disappeared into the ground, and fled as if he were escaping.

When the villagers saw him disappear, they exclaimed that the mountain god was incredibly powerful.

In order to ensure that the mountain god would continue to protect them, every household in Wangjia Village contributed money and labor to build a mountain god temple.

For a time, the mountain god temple was bustling with worshippers.

Ah Da has been cultivating very quickly these past few days, as a magical power has been coming from the south.

Suspicious, he took advantage of the darkness and went to Wangjia Village.

He stared in astonishment at his mountain god statue, his mouth agape.

To prove whether the magical power was related to the mountain god temple, he simply moved into the temple and spent his days inside the mountain god statue.

Whenever someone comes to offer incense and pray for blessings, he can feel that power.

He will also do his best to fulfill the villagers' wishes within his capabilities.

For example, people pray for a safe return from hunting in the mountains, or for their children to stop crying at night.

The villagers whose wishes have been fulfilled will come to give thanks, and when they do so, the power is even more pronounced.

The story of the mountain god's miraculous power spread throughout the village, and almost every household would come to offer incense, making the incense offerings increasingly prosperous.

Ah Da didn't know that these powers originated from faith; he only felt that these powers were good and very strong.

He couldn't be by Kui Kui's side to help him solve his problems, but what if he could give this power to Kui Kui?

He dared to think and dared to act. Taking advantage of the night when no one was around, he moved his mountain god statue to the side and then sculpted a goddess statue that was a size larger than the mountain god statue.

The goddess was dressed in the style of a woman from his previous life, wearing a long, flowing robe.

The goddess's appearance was exactly the same as Kui Kui's.

To make the goddess statue more divine, he painted her clothes in various colors, used garnets he found in the mountains for her eyes, and inlaid peridot on her forehead.

From then on, the goddess had red eyes and a forehead that glowed green.

Ah Da looked at his work and nodded with great satisfaction.

He followed the example of the villagers, lit incense, placed it in the incense burner, and then kowtowed three times to the statue of the goddess.

Kui Kui, who had just entered the underworld, suddenly raised an eyebrow.

The power of faith? Who?

She projected her divine sense and immediately saw the statue that Ah Da had erected for her, and she felt somewhat speechless.

For a moment, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Oh well, let it be.

Kui Kui and his younger brother Kui walked one after the other on the road to the underworld, which was covered with spider lilies.

Since there's no way to go to heaven, surely we can go to hell.

Just as Old Lady Wang returned from summoning the soul, she saw Ox-Head rushing over.

"Sweetie, your granddaughter is here, she's in the main hall!"

Grandma Wang's pupils dilated slightly, and her heart skipped a beat. Had something happened to Kui Kui?
