Qin Luo's principle is that with great power comes great responsibility. If the mountain god oppresses the people, then he should naturally intervene.
"Immortal Master, Black Mountain is very dangerous."
Chen Xingzhou invited them to perform a ritual to help the souls of the dead, not wanting Qin Luo to be in danger.
Qin Luo chuckled lightly, "Even scholars dare to climb the mountain, so why shouldn't I, a cultivator, dare to do so?"
"On behalf of the people of Chenjiagou, I thank the Immortal Master." Chen Xingzhou clasped his hands in gratitude and bowed deeply.
"Senior brother."
"I'll go with you."
Ziyue grabbed her senior brother's sleeve.
She knew that Montenegro was a very dangerous place.
"What did Master say before we went down the mountain?"
"Master told me to listen to you."
"Old man, please take good care of my junior sister. If I don't return, send her back to Longhu Temple."
"Master, please rest assured."
Chen Xingzhou nodded heavily.
Zi Yue watched Qin Luo walk unhurriedly towards Black Mountain, then placed her hands in front of her and prayed silently.
Senior brother!
You must come back safely!
The Black Mountain is rich in spiritual energy, with tall trees and lush foliage, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate.
The mountain was dimly lit, and a chilling wind swept over them. Qin Luo climbed the steps, with Chen Chang'an's ghost following behind.
Halfway up the mountain.
There is an ancient mountain god temple.
call!
A gust of black wind blew out of the temple.
"Be careful, Immortal Master."
Chen Chang'an had experienced something similar before.
Leaves tumbled on the ground, and trees on both sides of the mountain road snapped in half, yet Qin Luo remained unmoved.
Qin Luo braved the demonic wind and entered the mountain god temple. Inside the temple was a clay sculpture of a kind-faced old man.
"Hehehe."
A cold laugh came from the clay sculpture.
A golden light gleamed deep within Qin Luo's eyes, and the world before him became clear. He saw through the clay sculpture and said coldly, "I thought it was a real mountain god, but it turns out to be just a rat."
Click!
The clay sculpture suddenly shattered.
The black rat spirit hiding within revealed its true form. Its body rapidly expanded, becoming tall and ferocious. Its scarlet eyes were filled with murderous intent, and it roared with a ferocious expression, "Taoist, we've always kept to ourselves. Are you sure you want to be my enemy?"
Qin Luo narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "It is because you are greedy and insatiable, hiding in the clay sculpture to absorb incense offerings, and you have just gained a little bit of cultivation and you are already planning to harm the people at the foot of the mountain."
Chen Chang'an only realized after seeing the black rat spirit that the mountain god temple was not inhabited by a mountain god, but by a monster.
The black rat spirit dared not make a move, unable to see through Qin Luo's cultivation level, and turned to try to escape through the back door of the mountain god temple.
"Heh, trying to escape?"
Qin Luo raised his hand, golden light emanating from his fingertips. He drew a talisman in the air and said indifferently, "Thunder Technique? Lightning Strike!"
Boom!
A thunderclap resounded.
A golden bolt of lightning descended from the sky.
Golden lightning connected heaven and earth, and the black rat spirit was pulverized in the lightning, its very soul being completely obliterated.
The commotion at Black Mountain was huge, and the people of Chenjiagou were in a panic, thinking it was the wrath of the mountain god.
Chen Xingzhou and Ziyue waited for Qin Luo to return at the foot of the mountain. After the thunder, Chenjiagou, which had been shrouded in dark clouds for a long time, saw the bright sunshine again. Since the mountain god appeared, they had not enjoyed such bright sunshine for a long time.
The people of Chenjiagou flocked to the foot of the mountain. Chen Xingzhou told them that a celestial master had come up the mountain to deal with the mountain god. Everyone waited for Qin Luo at the foot of the mountain, eager to know the outcome.
Halfway up the mountain.
The mountain god temple was destroyed by lightning.
Qin Luo stood amidst the ruins, facing the wind. Chen Chang'an's ghost bowed to him, saying, "Thank you for your help, Immortal Master. I will remember the promise I made."
"I don't need you to be my slave."
Qin Luo said seriously, "I think you are very suitable to be the mountain god. Why don't you stay in Black Mountain?"
"Can I become a mountain god?"
Chen Chang'an couldn't believe his ears.
Qin Luo admired Chen Chang'an. A mere scholar, powerless and weak, yet he dared to fight monsters to the death. "If the Black Rat Spirit can be a mountain god here, why can't you?"
The spells in the Daoist True Explanation can not only exorcise spirits, but also command them. Qin Luo formed hand seals, his imposing figure like the ruler of the world. "Chen Chang'an, in the name of the Dao Ancestor, I hereby appoint you as the Mountain God of Black Mountain to protect the people of this place."
"I obey!"
Chen Chang'an readily accepted.
He could not be reincarnated after becoming a mountain god, but he was content to stay in Black Mountain to take care of his fellow villagers.
Golden rays of light rose from the ruins of the mountain god temple. This was the power of incense offerings. This power merged with Chen Chang'an's vengeful spirit, weaving a golden robe for him.
Chen Chang'an suddenly heard the sounds of all things in the mountains; he was now living in the world as a mountain god.
"Thank you, Immortal Master."
Chen Chang'an bowed again.
Qin Luo smiled and nodded, "If you ever have any trouble, come find me at Longhu Temple. Goodbye!"
...
"Senior brother!"
Qin Luo returned to Chenjiagou.
Ziyue excitedly ran to his side.
Chen Xingzhou bowed deeply, his expression excited, and asked, "Immortal Master, is the Mountain God still alive?"
The people of Chenjiagou all gathered around.
“The mountain god in the temple is not a real mountain god. It is a rat that hid in the clay sculpture and became a spirit after absorbing the incense. Its power is not high. I have already crushed it to pieces.”
"OK."
"Thank you, Immortal Master, for ridding the people of this scourge!"
The people of Chenjiagou were extremely grateful to Qin Luo.
"Black Mountain has a new mountain god."
Who is it?
"Chen Chang'an."
Qin Luo announced it on the spot.
Upon hearing that the new mountain god was Chen Chang'an, the surrounding people were both surprised and delighted. They knew that Chen Chang'an was kind-hearted and that as the mountain god of Black Mountain, he would surely treat the surrounding people well.
Chen Xingzhou was moved to tears. He had thought his son was gone forever, but he never expected him to become a mountain god.
Chen Xingzhou knew that Qin Luo must have arranged for Chen Chang'an to become the mountain god. He was extremely grateful and said, "Immortal Master, how can I possibly repay your great kindness!"
"Shall we begin the feast?"
A crisp sound rang out, and the foot of the mountain suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at Ziyue, who awkwardly scratched her head.
"Little fairy, let's begin the feast."
Chen Xingzhou said with a smile.
The surrounding people burst into laughter.
Laughter and cheers echoed through Chenjiagou once again.
