After the divorce, I became a mountain god

In the past, whenever Li Qingshi came to see me, he would kneel on the cushion and look very pious.

But why did he lie down directly today? Was it because he was too tired?

However, based on Xu Bo'an's understanding of Li Qingshi, he quickly denied his own thoughts.

Xu Boan looked carefully at Li Qingshi who was lying on the mat, and instantly discovered something abnormal about Li Qingshi's body.

I saw that the left half of Li Qingshi's arm was swollen like a lotus root injected with ink, and black blood was oozing out of the wound.

Veins bulged on his neck, his hands were tightly gripping the ground, and a hissing gasp came from his throat. He looked at the statue of the mountain god in front of the temple with a distracted look, and murmured in a low voice: "Grandpa Mountain God... Grandpa Mountain God..."

How is this going?

Seeing that Li Qingshi was seriously injured, Xu Bo'an did not dare to delay and asked quickly, "Li Qingshi, what happened to you?"

When Li Qingshi heard the voice of the Mountain God, he felt as if he had hope. His heart instantly calmed down and he looked at the statue of the Mountain God with hope in his eyes.

Li Qingshi spoke with difficulty, "It was a worm... a worm bit me... Grandpa Mountain God, please save me!"

A long worm, isn’t that a snake?
After hearing what Li Qing said, Xu Boan looked at Li Qingshi's arm. In just a short while, the swelling in Li Qingshi's forearm had gradually spread to the upper arm at a speed visible to the naked eye. The swelling in his arm was much thicker than a pig's leg.

Seeing this situation, even a fool would know that the snake that bit Li Qingshi was extremely poisonous.

Seeing that the situation was very urgent, Xu Bo'an didn't say anything more. Without saying a word, he quickly turned his attention to the temple in Kaoshan Village. After grabbing a handful of incense ash, he came to Li Qingshi again.

Then, Xu Boan hurriedly applied the incense ash in his hand evenly to the swollen area of ​​Li Qingshi's arm, especially the wound, where he applied the ash several times.

Then he fed the remaining incense ash in his hand directly into Li Qingshi's mouth. In order to make it easier for Li Qingshi to swallow, Xu Boan gave him some water. After Li Qingshi swallowed the incense ash, Xu Boan put him flat on the ground.

After observing for a while and seeing that the toxin was no longer spreading, Xu Boan took the acupuncture needle and began to apply acupuncture to the swollen part of Li Qingshi's arm. Xu Boan did this because he had learned a very special acupuncture therapy from the Zhang family's ancestral medical book. This unique acupuncture method could force out all the toxins in the arm.

After the acupuncture, Li Qingshi's arm was no longer swollen as before. In addition, with the effect of the incense ash used externally and internally, after a while Li Qingshi felt that he was not as uncomfortable as before.

Li Qingshi felt much better and quickly stood up and knelt on the cushion in front of the incense table. After he kowtowed to the Mountain God, his eyes were filled with tears. He looked at the Buddha statue in front of him excitedly and said, "Thank you, Mountain God. If you hadn't come in time to save me, I'm afraid I would not be alive now! The poison of this worm is too strong."

Xu Bo'an said, "You are my people, so it is my duty to save you. But why are you so badly injured? Normally, the poison of a venomous snake would not be so powerful."

Li Qingshi said, "I was also very surprised. When I was in Kaoshan Village, I often followed my grandfather to do farm work in the fields. I also often went to the woods of Kaoshan Village with my friends to play hide-and-seek. I have encountered long insects before, but they would not actively hurt people. However, the long insects I saw today were not only extremely strong, but also chased me after seeing me. I fled in a hurry, but when I was about to run to the door of this mountain temple, I was bitten by it. In a hurry, I quickly closed the temple door and ran to you for help."

After hearing Li Qingshi's narration, Xu Bo'an felt that it was somewhat mysterious and asked, "Then do you know why that long worm kept chasing you?"

Li Qingshi raised his hand and scratched his head, and replied in confusion: "To answer the mountain god, I don't know much either. I was on my way to find Weiwei, but seeing that it was getting late, I thought of resting in this temple for a night and setting off again tomorrow morning.
When I was less than a mile away from the mountain temple, I saw a place with very tall and straight trees. I had been traveling for the past few days and the water I brought with me was almost gone. Seeing the tall trees, I guessed that there might be a source of water nearby.
Unexpectedly, when I was about to get close to the tree, a very thick and golden long worm suddenly emerged from the middle of the tree. When it saw me, its eyes stared at me intently, and I was so scared that I trembled all over. I turned around and ran away. Unexpectedly, I was just one step away from the temple gate, but unfortunately I was bitten by that creature. You know what happened next! "

Hmm? A golden snake? What's going on? Xu Bo'an has never seen a golden snake in his life. It's really rare!

Just when Xu Boan was feeling strange, he suddenly heard a strange "hissing" sound coming from outside the mountain temple. Li Qingshi immediately recognized that the sound outside the door was the sound of a snake spitting out its tongue.

Could this be the strange snake that bit Li Qingshi just now?
As the saying goes, "Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years." Li Qingshi was originally a man who dared to fight against giant pythons, but after being bitten by a snake, he became very worried.

When Li Qingshi heard the sound, he immediately trembled all over and turned pale, his voice trembling as he spoke: "Grandpa Mountain God, outside... that sound seems to be the movement of the long worm that bit me just now."

Seeing that Li Qingshi was so frightened that his words were trembling, Xu Bo'an quickly comforted Li Qingshi and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

When Li Qingshi heard the comforting words from the Mountain God, the fear in his heart was slightly relieved, but Xu Boan could still feel the fear from the bottom of his heart in Li Qingshi's eyes.

Normally, the little ones would calm down immediately after hearing his comforting voice, especially Li Qingshi, who was the first person he met in the bonsai world and had faith in him that could not be expressed in words. So why was he so scared after hearing his comforting voice today?

What kind of power did that snake have that could frighten Li Qingshi to such an extent?

Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an became very curious and wanted to see who the snake that bit Li Qingshi was.
The temple was relatively well preserved, and there was no open air on the roof, so Xu Boan could not raise his eyes to look outside. He could only listen carefully to the hissing sound made by the snake inside the temple.

After listening for a while, Xu Bo'an's eyes suddenly moved, and he was quite surprised.

The sound of the snake made no difference to Li Qingshi, but to Xu Bo'an, who was able to communicate with animals, he could hear it clearly.

"This is the temple of the mountain god. Come out quickly. If you blaspheme the mountain god, I will never let you off easily..."

When Xu Boan heard what the snake outside the door said, he was a little puzzled. Could it be that this snake had some kind of connection with this temple?

As Xu Boan thought of this, the power of the incense began to tremble violently. He almost forgot that the power of the incense could answer his questions. Thinking of this, Xu Boan consumed a bit of his power, and a story suddenly flooded into his mind. Good man, this snake really has a story.

It turns out that the mountain here is called Pearl Ridge, not because pearls are produced on this mountain, but because a long time ago, a clear spring gushed out from the peak of this mountain, and the spring water was as crystal clear as pearls, hence the name.

At that time, the snake was still young. By chance, it became the right-hand man of the mountain god. It was agile and often shuttled through the mountains and forests, guarding the spiritual springs, herbs, and rare birds and animals in the mountains and forests. Because its whole body was golden, it was called Xiaojin!
One year, Xiao Jin met with an accident and was severely injured. Thanks to the mountain god who tried his best to rescue him, he was given the opportunity to fall into a sleep and recuperate from his injuries in a way similar to hibernation.

Later, after many years of transformation, Xiao Jin finally recovered. But when he woke up, he found that the breath of the Mountain God was gone.

It was not until Xu Bo'an's involvement in the bonsai world that Xiao Jin felt the familiar atmosphere of the past.

Therefore, Xiao Jin has been guarding the mountain temple here for some time. Unexpectedly, Li Qingshi accidentally entered it this time. This made Xiao Jin feel offended and he attacked Li Qingshi.

After Xu Boan learned about the whole incident, he was shocked.

Xiao Jin was actually the little hairy god under the former mountain god? This was too unexpected.

After knowing this, Xu Bo'an looked out the door and said in a dignified voice: "Xiao Jin, the mountain god has returned, don't be so presumptuous!"

Xiao Jin, who was irritable just now, became gentle instantly when he heard the voice of Grandpa Mountain God. He said, "Hiss, Grandpa Mountain God, you are finally back. I have been guarding here for many years, waiting for the day when you come back! It's great to hear your voice again."

After saying this, he shook his strong body happily.

Xu Bo'an said to it: "The person inside is my friend, please don't hurt him!"

After hearing what the Mountain God said, Xiao Jin was like a child who had done something wrong. He said very meekly, "Hiss, I thought he was going to invade the Mountain God Temple and offend you, the Mountain God, so I hurt him. Please forgive me, the Mountain God."

Xu Bo'an naturally would not punish Xiao Jin for such a misunderstanding, and immediately said: "Ignorance is not a crime. I will not blame you. I have just treated him."

Xiao Jin was very happy to hear that Xu Boan did not blame him, and said, "Hiss, the poison I released can only be cured by you, Grandpa Mountain God. I am so happy, it really is you, Grandpa Mountain God."

After hearing what Xiao Jin said, Xu Bo'an couldn't help but sigh that Xiao Jin had lived for so many years and had indeed become a smart person. He actually had so many tricks and even knew how to test him.

But it doesn’t matter. Xiao Jin is the little god under his seat. If he was a fool, Xu Boan would not like him.

And with Xiao Jin's presence, I might be able to learn more about the past history of this place.

Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an looked at Xiao Jin with a look of relief and said, "Since you are the Little Hairy God under my seat, I will let you return to your place now!"

At the same time, the vague statues in front of the mountain god statue in the mountain god temple suddenly flickered, and then gradually revealed the appearance of Xiao Jin. This meant that the third Xiao Mao God under the mountain god had returned to his position.

When Xiao Jin returned to his position, Xu Bo'an said to Li Qingshi, "Li Qingshi, I have just taken the little snake outside the door as my little hairy god. It will not hurt you again. Go and open the temple door!"

Li Qingshi knew that since the Mountain God said so, the snake would definitely not hurt him again. But how could a poisonous insect like that be worthy of being the Mountain God's sitting little hairy god?
Li Qingshi had doubts in his mind and mustered up the courage to say to Xu Bo'an: "I dare to ask, that long worm is poisonous, and its behavior is so vicious. If you accept it as your little hairy god, you must be careful."

Xu Bo'an patiently explained to Li Qingshi: "I just counted with my fingers and have figured it out. Its name is Xiao Jin, and it has been guarding here for many years. It just thought you were going to invade its territory and had improper intentions towards the Mountain God Temple, so it hurt you."

"Ah! So that's how it is! It was Little Stone who was presumptuous."

Only then did Li Qingshi realize that there was such a misunderstanding. He completely let go of the fear in his heart and stepped forward to open the temple door that he had just blocked.

Xu Bo'an took a glance through the open door and was stunned.

Wow! Can this guy be called Xiao Jin?
At this moment, a snake about two meters long was coiled outside the mountain temple. It was as thick as an ordinary person's forearm, and its standing body alone was one meter tall!
At the same time, its raised head was spitting out tongue from time to time, looking cautiously into the temple, and its eyeballs moved from time to time.

The most eye-catching thing is that the bright and pure gold color emits a faint light, which is instantly eye-catching and looks like a product of handicraft at first glance.

If you couldn't see its eyeballs moving from time to time, it would be hard to believe that it was a real living creature!
Although this snake is not as big as the giant jungle python that Xu Boan encountered when he first met Li Qingshi, it is definitely not small.

Not to mention Xu Boan, a mere mortal, even Xu Boan felt a little nervous after seeing this.

It's obvious that this thing is not easy to deal with!
Seeing the temple door opened from the inside, Xiao Jin slowly crawled in from outside the door. He looked at Li Qingshi without that fierce look he had just shown. Instead, he stared at Li Qingshi and hissed non-stop.

Li Qingshi said in confusion: "Grandpa Mountain God, what on earth is that long worm doing?"

Xu Boan understood what Xiao Jin meant and immediately explained: "He is apologizing to you!" (End of this chapter)
