"It should be nearby, underground!" Chongchong shouted.
If there was anything on the surface of this mountain range, it should have been found long ago. It can only be found underground.
At that moment, Lin Chen and Yue Chan fell into the mountain forest. Chong Chong sensed carefully and kept guiding the direction, and finally set foot in a mountain valley and a rift valley!
When he set foot in this place, Lin Chen was shocked. He instantly felt that the mountain topography was different from other places. It was as if the heaven and earth had naturally set up a field here.
Lin Chen stretched his hand towards the rock wall on one side. Although his expression changed, his hand actually penetrated the rock wall directly!
This rock wall does not really exist, it is an illusion!
Lin Chen's pupils suddenly shrank, and even his senses couldn't see through this illusion!
Even if the fog here interferes with perception, it shouldn't be like this.
Lin Chen frowned, his body was filled with divine power. He walked into the rock wall, but when he went forward, he was blocked. There was nothing in front of him, but it was hard.
This is the rock wall!
A combination of reality and reality?
Lin Chen took a step back, but behind him was a hard rock wall!
Lin Chen's heart was really shaken now.
Behind you is the road you just walked on. It was just an illusion a moment ago, but now it has turned into a real rock wall!
What the hell is going on in this damn place!
No wonder even half-steppers from the Kingdom of God may die here. With the mist miasma greatly weakening perception, and with such a natural field, how can we get out?
Lin Chen snorted coldly and immediately slashed out with his sword!
The sword light slashed out and slashed into the rock wall, but the rock wall was an illusion. However, there was a "boom" immediately. It should have hit the real rock wall, but there was no sound!
With this sword, nothing changed, it was like a stone sinking into the sea and disappearing!
"What should we do next?" Yuechan asked with a pale face.
"There must be a way to the underground hidden here. Just find it," Lin Chen said.
Just find it out...
Yue Chan is a bit bitter, how can it be said so simply?
But now I can only follow Lin Chen's arrangements.
The eye of law.
Lin Chen and Chongchong shared their pupil power, and the line of law suddenly filled the entire field of vision. However, this time is different from the past. Now Lin Chen's ability to withstand the eye of law has been greatly enhanced.
Even if it is so chaotic and intertwined, it will not be like before, as if the head is about to explode.
The thread of laws is very complicated, and many laws are constantly beating. It is naturally not easy to find the one you need.
Fortunately, Chongchong is there, and the connection between it and the ghosts can confirm each other with the thread of law.
"This way?" Lin Chen walked in one direction, following the lines of the law. As for whether the illusion was real or not, through these lines, Lin Chen was able to get a glimpse of it.
After that, there was no more "ghosts hitting the wall", unable to move forward, and walking was relatively smooth.
Yue Chan was speechless. She didn't even know how Lin Chen did it. After all, she didn't even have the slightest clue. She alone couldn't crack the field here.
After walking for about half a day, Lin Chen and the others came to the mountainside of a mountain. Here, there was a very short broken brick house. It was very dilapidated, and the bricks and stones were weathered.
Looking inside, you can see a half-ruined statue sitting in it.
"It's like a small temple dedicated to the mountain god," Yue Chan said.
In addition to the big temples in various places, there is often a very small temple, which is used to worship the land of the mountain gods and share some incense with them to ensure the peace of the big temple.
The size of this small temple indeed seems to be dedicated to a mountain god.
"Gods such as the Mountain God and the Earth are very weak. The incense they can obtain is limited, and almost all of it comes from the fingernails of other incense gods," Bai Shu said.
The land of the mountain god is also the god of incense. People pray for the rich products of the earth before worshiping the mountain and knocking on the soil, and then the incense is gathered.
However, people's reverence for the earth is naturally not as good as their respect for the gods, so they only believe in it, which is considered as building temples on the land and giving the mountain gods a little benefit from the land.
Of course, ordinary people are just doing these things with the simplest concepts, and they don't know.
The land of mountain gods that did not exist before was born in this world because of them.
"There is nothing here anymore, but there is still such a small temple. It's really strange," Yuechan said with a frown.
Mountain gods are just small gods with weak power and are often built outside large temples.
Nowadays, all the big temples have disappeared, and no traces are left, but this temple is still there, which is naturally extraordinary.
What Lin Chen saw was that this temple had a special line of law, and it was probably connected to a mysterious area somewhere.
But he couldn't catch it. After all, knowing the law and using the law are completely different things.
"How did the ghost find this place?" Lin Chen frowned.
Is it the main soul of the Ten Heads and Nine Infants that is leading, allowing the ghosts to come here to do something, or is it that the ghosts themselves are related to this place?
Purgatory, that place was a small world created by a powerful emperor in the past. It was later used as a prison, and the people exiled in it were all extraordinary beings.
Although ghosts are formed because a large number of broken souls gather together again, rather than living souls directly turning into ghosts, it does not mean that the past knowledge has been completely lost.
Maybe the strong ones among them retain memories of the past!
"It's hard to say. Purgatory is an extremely evil place. After the death of the emperor, there seems to be someone still controlling that small world, and the souls of dead people are constantly being transported into it," Bai Shu said.
"Normally, the souls sent in will eventually be sent to reincarnation and undergo rebirth, but this has been proven to be a failed attempt. The souls will be broken, and ghosts will eventually breed. However, there are exceptions, such as the main soul.
Undestructed by the power of purgatory, it still exists today.”
Lin Chen nodded. In short, he still had to find the ghost first. This guy should have gone underground, but now Lin Chen couldn't find it.
"There should be something underground here, but how to get down?" Lin Chen's eyes flashed.
It is obviously not easy to force a breakthrough. The mountainous terrain here is not so easy to break through. Otherwise, if there is really something down here, it will not remain until now.
"How did that ghost get down?" Chong Chong was also puzzled. There was no road here, but its induction did come from here.
At least the ghost spirit must have arrived here before disappearing.
"When you get to this mountain and this world, maybe you can only ask the owner of this place," Bai Shu said.
The owner of the mountain is naturally the mountain god.
"Can this mountain god still exist? It is so dilapidated that it has long since lost its incense." Lin Chen frowned.
Once the incense of the weak gods is cut off, they will continue to decline and disappear over time.
Not to mention, the mountain god's land rarely condenses the divine personality, and it cannot last long.
"Who knows, let's try it," Bai Shu said with a smile.
Lin Chen nodded, then took out three sticks of incense, lit them, and inserted them into the cracks in the stone in front of the statue.
The white smoke curls up and disperses into the air. This is incense.
Of course, incense is not just about incense and fire, it also requires inner belief, and the will of faith is the key to promoting the divine power of incense!
"Are you really religious in your heart?" Yuechan glanced at him.
"Of course not," Lin Chen said.
He never believed in God, let alone worshiped God!
Yuechan sighed. Although their Xuannv Palace did not have a main god of faith and was not a religious orthodoxy, she still had a reverence for the gods.
Especially small gods such as mountain gods and earth gods. In her opinion, they are the gods who truly protect the land and water, unlike those powerful gods who only seek to gather incense and condense their divine personality.
The next month Yuechan took out three sticks of incense, lit them and shook them out. White smoke slowly rose up.
She knelt in front of the small temple and prayed devoutly, hoping to get help from the mountain god to eliminate evil spirits!
Lin Chen looked slightly sideways, he couldn't do this.
Hope it's of some use.
The little white smoke began to change. It no longer curled up, but slowly floated towards the broken statue of the god, swirling around the statue!
It's so obvious
Variety!
Is divinity still there?
It seems that he is really hungry, as if the land is completely dry, and when there is a little water source, he can't wait to absorb it, somewhat regardless of his image!
God rarely shows such an urgent look, after all, it undermines the majesty of God.
But that’s right, it’s all like this, why should we care about the majesty of the gods?
Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, now there has been a change, at least the gods above still exist.
It's just that this god only cared about swallowing the incense and had no other reaction.
Lin Chen frowned for a moment, then stepped forward, "Since you have collected the incense, please give me some reaction, otherwise I will have to demolish your temple and destroy your statue!"
If you take advantage of it and do nothing, even God will praise you!
Yuechan immediately shouted, "Young master, you can't do this!"
"If we don't go in, we will all be in trouble. How can we care about this down-and-out god?" Lin Chen snorted.
Since there is no response, then you have no choice but to take action.
At that moment, Lin Chen drew his sword, Dao Yi·Zhan Shen was ready.
"Stop, stop, young hero, don't be impulsive, I'm here..." A weak and old voice sounded in the minds of Lin Chen and Yuechan.
The mountain god is responding to them!
Yuechan's eyes flashed, and she was a little surprised. The mountain god here actually responded. It seemed that the god was also contaminated by the secular atmosphere and was afraid of power.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lin Chen snorted.
"Young hero, I misunderstood. I just couldn't respond to you. The kingdom of Laochan's kingdom is destroyed, and the last of my divine power is about to drain away. If it weren't for the little incense just now, I would have dispersed with the wind!" the mountain god said hurriedly.
The sound is indeed very weak.
After hearing this, Yuechan inserted a few more sticks of incense and lit the candle to further replenish the incense for the mountain god.
The mountain god now devoured it even more regardless of his image, and finally recovered a little, which was considered to be the life of the god.
"Are you the mountain god of this mountain?" Yuechan asked.
"Yes, it's a pity that no one has set foot on this mountain, let alone worshiped. Although the old man has gathered his divine power and built the kingdom of God in the past, he can't withstand the passage of time and has already reached the point of decay." The mountain god lamented.
The gods of incense were born from the faith of living beings, and they bear the incense. They are indeed high above the world, but once there is no incense, they will become trees without roots and are destined to wither.
This is the disadvantage of the incense gods. Even if they can condense the kingdom of God themselves, or even step out of the kingdom of God and truly manifest in the human world, they cannot condense divine power by their own strength.
Yuechan sighed.
She couldn't help the mountain god more. After all, the mountain god couldn't live without his mountain. The mountain was already in the death fog area and was inaccessible. Even if he was alive today, he would die soon.
This is the tragedy of the land of mountain gods. They cannot be transferred by spreading faith like other incense gods.
Their roots are here.
"Sir, Mountain God, can you tell us about the situation here?" Yuechan asked.
Since they can't do anything, they don't need to talk nonsense and just get to the point.
"Okay, it's fate that we meet each other. Let me talk to you," the mountain god said slowly.
According to what he said, before the rescue, this place used to be a powerful Taoism that believed in a rain god.
It is said that this place was in drought for an extremely long period of time. The land was dry, no grass could grow, and no food could grow at all. The people could only survive by eating tree bark and even clods of soil.
In order to survive, people began to worship the Rain God, hoping that the Rain God would appear and bring heavy rain, moisten all things, and save the people from fire and water.
I don’t know if it was the number of days, but not long after that, it rained heavily, and the people saw hope from despair. With water, there was a possibility of survival!
From then on, people began to worship the Rain God in large numbers, and the scale became larger and larger, until finally, the belief in the Rain God spread throughout the world!
The Taoist tradition established with the help of the Rain God's belief came into being, called the Rain God's Mansion. With the deliberate guidance and spread of faith by strong men, the strength of the Rain God's Mansion began to grow rapidly, and the Rain God condensed his divine personality and built a
kingdom of god, become
It was the top incense god at that time.
It’s just that the power of the world rises and falls again and again, for the eternity of time.
The Rain God Taoism eventually prospered and declined. Once the spirit and form were destroyed, new Taoisms began to appear on the earth, each competing for faith.
However, no incense gods were born again. To this day, this area has even become a barren mountain and wilderness where no one can visit, and everything has returned to the nature of heaven and earth.
"Why did the Rain God fall?" Lin Chen asked curiously.
According to the Mountain God, the Rain God has reached an extremely high level, not far behind the current Mountain and River Immortal.
"Young hero, where is the pinnacle of martial arts that a warrior seeks in his life?" the mountain god asked.
"Emperor", Lin Chen thought for a while and replied.
Beings with the title of emperor, such as the Three Ancient Emperors, should be the pinnacle of martial arts!
"What about the ultimate point of Shinto?" the mountain god asked again.
Shinto, the path of the gods, they are also growing and growing. Where will they end up?
Lin Chen had never thought about this problem.
"The divine realm is illusory, but the divine realm that does exist is a world that is born to be the kingdom of gods!" Shan Shen said, full of yearning.
"The world where gods live?" Lin Chen's eyes flashed and he snorted slightly.
"Yes, the god of incense seems to be born with this obsession, that is, one day he will ascend to the divine world and become a god. It seems that only in this way can he be regarded as a true god!" The mountain god was bitter and sarcastic.
The temperament of this mountain god is similar to that of humans. He talks so eloquently that he does not look like the majestic gods of the past.
"But if the gods ascend, what about the remaining religious traditions?" Lin Chen wondered.
"I don't know this," the mountain god said.
He is just the mountain god here, just a small god. In the past, he followed the rain god to gain glory and survive to this day.
However, there is a white book to answer this question, "There are two ways. One is to teach people to ascend. This is also the reason why people in this world are willing to worship gods, because one day, they can follow the gods and ascend to become gods!"
"The other is to leave a powerful enough divine fetus before ascending so that the Taoist system can continue to operate. Maybe one day there will be another god who can ascend to the divine world. At that time, the two will become one and they will be in the divine realm. I'm afraid
It also has a high status!”
"Of course, no one knows the specific situation of the God Realm. Everything is just a guess based on various signs in the past. There have been many examples of ascension, but whether it was truly successful or not cannot be verified."
Spirit world.
The sky burial pit is said to be a corner of the divine world that fell into the human world.
The Dingjun Mountain God List is also a sacred land.
The Immortal Emperor is behind the Divine Screen, far away from the human world, and seems to be in the divine world.
The world of gods is probably real.
It's just that it's too far away from the world, and also too far away from Lin Chen now.
"What was left after the Rain God failed to ascend?" Lin Chen asked.
There is obviously something beneath this mountainous area.
The mountain god was silent for a long time and said, "Before the rain god ascended, he found Lao Chan, gave him his supreme divine power, and borrowed the mountain of Lao Chan. He planted something in this mountain range, but what it was, Lao Chan didn't know what it was.
I don’t know.”
Don’t even the mountain gods know about it?
"Then the Rain God failed to ascend and never appeared again." The Mountain God sighed.
"Since the Rain God is dead, why don't you go and find out for yourself?" Lin Chen said.
"To tell you the truth, young hero, I was able to condense my godhead by chance because of the rain god's light. Since the things of the rain god have no purpose, I don't dare to touch them at will."
"Moreover, Lao Chan doesn't have that ability. The power deployed by the Rain God cannot be broken through by lesser gods like Lao Chan," Shan Shen said.
"But someone has already gone down," Lin Chen frowned.
Hearing this, the mountain god was shocked. Even the statue of the god showed a slight divine light, "This is impossible. Except for the rain god, no one knows about this place, and no one can enter!"
Moreover, entering the mountain without disturbing Him, what kind of existence can actually do such a thing!
