"So that's how it is." After hearing this, General Fan was filled with emotion.
As a veteran general of the imperial court, she was naturally aware of the existence of demons and evil spirits, and had even fought against their "believers." She was very clear about the strange and eerie aspects of these demons and evil spirits.
Unexpectedly, there was a true god in this world who had been protecting them all along, but he was far away in Qingzhou, and no one knew about it.
"General, this... this..." Master Song stammered for a long time.
"You are given a chance to redeem yourself. Go and build a temple and erect a statue for the Mountain Goddess! From now on, you will serve in the temple until your sins are washed away!"
General Fan's expression was serious.
Upon hearing this, Master Song scrambled off to find someone, leaving only the surrounding villagers behind.
"You can all go now. Settle the children first. You can go to the temple to worship after it is completed. It's the same thing." Zhongheng waved to the crowd, his gums showing as he smiled.
"Oh dear, I never expected that I would inadvertently attract so many believers to the Mountain Goddess!"
"Qingcheng will also have a temple to the Mountain Goddess!"
Zhong Yan, who was standing next to her, coughed.
"Ah, of course, besides the Mountain Goddess's blessing on my sister, if it weren't for your planning, we wouldn't have been able to succeed like this, right?" Zhongheng hurriedly ran over like a sycophant and massaged his sister's shoulders.
"Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"Alright, stop showing off and hurry up and go find Xiao Chan!"
Zhong Yan waved her hand helplessly.
Just as they were about to turn around to look for him, they suddenly saw the familiar figure float up again.
Holy crap, the Mountain Goddess has descended again?
A group of people knelt down in unison, incredibly quickly.
"Brother and sister, don't get excited, I'm just practicing my abilities." Huaichan's little face was full of excitement.
This divine intervention also brought her tremendous benefits; she clearly felt that she had become much more adept at controlling this ability.
"So it was you. You scared me half to death." Zhongheng patted his chest.
He thought that the Mountain Goddess had seen him showing off.
"This is..." General Fan, standing beside him, was even more confused.
Why does this little guy look exactly like a god?
“General, this is our younger sister. She is also a follower of the Mountain Goddess. Her mother lives far away in the desolate mountains…”
Zhong Yan gave a brief explanation of the Divine Descent Technique.
"So, the true form of the deity did not descend; this was merely one of the abilities of the Mountain Goddess." General Fan was shocked.
"Mother, Mother, why did you come so quickly?" A man dressed in brocade robes ran over from a distance.
When General Fan saw him, he snorted coldly again.
"Mother, I was confused for a moment. I just thought I was familiar with that scholar and that he wouldn't cheat someone I knew, so I sent the two children over there. Who knew..." The man was filled with regret.
"When will you learn your lesson?" the old man said, exasperated.
"So many things have happened in Qingcheng, have you completely forgotten about your mother? If it weren't for Shuangshuang, I would still be completely in the dark!"
"Since she's advising you, you should listen to her more; it might even help you grow wiser!"
man:"……"
"Yes, yes, Mother is right."
The old general rolled his eyes in anger.
The group dispersed, and Zhongheng also left with his sister, two children, and a group of brothers.
"You two are still too impulsive!" Zhong Yan gently pinched the bridge of the two little ones' noses.
"By the way, Xiao Gan, why did you suddenly show up? Were you pretending to be stupid all along?"
The boy she was leading with her right hand was the one she had brought from outside earlier—the boy whose entire family had been wiped out.
The child hadn't spoken before, and she thought he'd been drained of his luck and had lost his mind. Who knew he'd suddenly appear at the crucial moment?
The boy nodded, offering no further explanation, and kept his head down.
Thinking of the child's family, Zhong Yan sighed.
Alas, what a chaotic world!
"Xiao Gan, this winter is too cold. Most of the roads are blocked by ice and snow, so we can't travel long distances. We will stay here, but next spring we will go to the barren mountains and may never come back. Would you like to come with us then?"
“The barren mountain is where the Mountain Goddess resides. My second brother learned about the Mountain Goddess there and received her blessings.”
"We'll live in the mountains then, which will be much safer than here."
After hearing this, the boy kept nodding his head.
"Alright, let's wait and see. Once this winter is over, we'll surely have a vibrant future!"
Zhong Yan kept rubbing her hands together, breathing on them as she looked at the darkening sky.
A clear, full moon slowly emerges, its watery light flowing down to illuminate the unknown path.
[Ding ding ding ding ding...]
On Yu Luo's side, system panel notifications kept ringing out.
