"The white snake with thick arms obviously didn't offend him, but he just beat the snake to death directly.
Because of this, Qianzi even scolded him and then drove him away. At that time, the victory was not as big as that of Xiaodie now."
"Then what?" Tang Li asked.
"You can think of it later. Not long after, something happened to him in the mountains. By the time he was discovered, he was completely unrecognizable."
"Then what happened to his family? Why did it become what it did later?"
"That's because after he killed the white snake, various disasters began to happen in their village. People in the village said that he killed the snake, and the mountain god became angry, so he began to deliberately target them and wanted to drive them out.
."
Zhang Shengli heard about this, but he did not express any opinions.
In his opinion, these are all superstitions and are not the case at all.
On the contrary, what Liu Ye said just now made him a little suspicious.
He didn't believe it, but Tang Li listened very attentively, and seemed to have an inexplicable loyalty to such fascinating stories.
"I'm telling you, there is a mountain god in Yuelong Mountain. It's deep in the mountain. Don't believe it. But the death of Huzi's father probably has nothing to do with the mountain god."
Master Liu's words made Wei Xiuyuan a little dissatisfied.
He has returned from abroad, and he only believes in science for this kind of thing.
"How about the Jade Emperor? How do you know there is a mountain god? Have you seen it?"
"Go, go, you will be everywhere!" Mr. Liu rolled his eyes at Wei Xiuyuan and said angrily: "If there is any mountain god, go to the mountains and see."
Wei Xiuyuan was dissatisfied and pointed at Zhang Shengli and said, "Shengli goes to the mountain every day. You should ask him if he has ever seen the mountain god?"
Master Liu glanced at Zhang Sheng yesterday who was immersed in eating, shook his head and said: "He is different, the mountain god will not specifically target him."
"What do you mean?" This time, even Su Shicheng was intrigued and started to ask.
"Have you not heard from the villagers? That Yuelong Mountain is his family's back garden. I don't know which generation started, but it has always been like this. Their family has a relationship with the mountain god."
"What about his grandfather? If that's what you said, what happened to his grandfather?"
"His grandpa, that was an accident!" Mr. Liu glared at Wei Xiuyuan.
Zhang Shengli didn't speak. Although he seemed to be eating, he was actually staring at Mr. Liu.
He has never been able to see through Master Liu that he is the only one left in the village who is of the same generation as his grandfather.
There was a mysterious master incident in the village, and he had doubts about Liu Ye, so he tried many ways.
But the more he probes, the more confused he gets, and the longer he stays in contact with Mr. Liu, the more he realizes that Mr. Liu is just an old man who knows nothing.
"Is there really a mountain god? Could it be that it was the mountain god who was secretly protecting Yuelong Villa before?" At this moment, Zhang Shengli also began to doubt.
Liu Ye took another sip of wine: "This mountain god eats incense. There was a mountain temple in Zhangjiacun during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but it was later demolished. If you can't eat incense, it will damage the strength of the mountain god, so
Ah, Shengli’s grandfather was attacked by wild beasts in the mountains just when the mountain god’s strength was declining.”
Zhang Shengli was slightly startled: "Mountain Temple, Ming and Qing Dynasties?"
"Yes, our Zhangjiacun is different from several other villages. The other villages were moved here later. Our Zhangjiacun has been living here for generations. There used to be a mountain temple on the mountain."
"So evil?" Zhang Shengli was stunned for a moment.
"There's nothing so evil about this. Anyway, you have money now. If you don't believe it, find someone to rebuild the mountain temple to ensure that this place is safe."
Wei Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled bitterly. Su Shicheng also kept smiling, but it was Tang Li.
"I think it's okay. We're not short of money now. We rely on Yuelong Mountain to make a living. What's wrong with worshiping the mountain god?"
Zhang Shengli looked at Tang Li and then at Master Liu: "But I don't even know what this mountain god looks like, how to make a statue of it, and how to worship it."
Mr. Liu chuckled: "I have it at home. I'll bring it to you after dinner."
Zhang Shengli was speechless. He always felt that he should not invite Master Liu to this meal. It was originally a common meal, but now it has become a place for Master Liu to promote superstition.
For example, Wei Xiuyuan, after hearing this, although he is not superstitious, he now nodded and agreed: "I think it is feasible, just build a temple so that everyone can have spiritual sustenance, let alone the villagers, we will do it
Business people also often burn incense and worship gods."
Another example is Su Shicheng: "I have been to many places, and some famous tourist destinations will have temples. This is not a superstition, but a custom and culture. I see nothing wrong with building a temple in the mountains."
Tang Li, on the other hand, nodded her head.
Zhang Shengli put down his bowls and chopsticks, and without consulting other people in the village, he directly made a decision: "Okay, let's build one."
However, after he finished speaking, he still looked at Mr. Liu with some uncertainty: "Do you really have that mountain god statue at home?"
"Can I still lie to you? Instead, I worship him every day. Look at me, no one in the whole village has lived longer than me. This is the benefit of worshiping the mountain god."
Zhang Shengli curled his lips, his face full of disbelief.
Mr. Liu lived a long life, but he lived alone for most of his life without even a single heir.
If you worship the mountain god and live like Master Liu, I guess many people will not only refuse to worship, but will even curse him.
This was just what Zhang Shengli was thinking about, and he didn't dare to say it in front of Mr. Liu.
Now that I'm older, what if I get to the point where I feel sad and something bad happens and I can't even catch my breath and it passes?
After the meal, it was unclear whether Zhang Shengli was really happy with the others, but Mr. Liu was really happy.
I had just finished eating, and with my hands behind my back, I bent over to go home to pick up some mountain god statue.
This made several people shake their heads and smile bitterly.
"Master, Mr. Liu is superstitious. Why don't you follow the superstition? That mountain god is a lie and cannot be taken seriously."
Su Shicheng laughed: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with having a temple in the mountains. It can be an additional means of publicity, and it can also make Zhang Laoliu happy. The longer he lives, the better it is for the village."
"Is there still such a thing?"
"No, I showed it to Mr. Liu. He is about seventy years old this year. Even though he is older than me, with his current physical condition, there will be no problem if he lives for another ten or twenty years.
.
Logically speaking, our environment here should have some elderly people, but there are not.
In our village, seventy is considered the oldest person, which is very abnormal, so as long as he is happy and can live an extra ten or twenty years, he might be able to change the current situation in the village."
Zhang Shengli was a little confused by what he said, and he seemed to understand but he didn't care as long as a few old guys were willing.
It’s just a temple, how much can it cost?
But when Mr. Liu came to the fairy garden with the statue of the mountain god, Zhang Shengli looked at the statue of the mountain god and felt dizzy for a while. He even wondered whether Mr. Liu was out of his sight and had taken it by mistake.
