Chapter 332 Mountain God
A gust of wind blew through the temple, and Li Ming immediately woke up. He felt a little strange in his heart. With his own cultivation level, he would not fall asleep so unconsciously even if he ate three pounds of rice mixed with drugs, let alone eat normally. What was going on?

He immediately looked around, but everything was different now.

It was autumn and it was raining heavily outside the temple. As the saying goes, every autumn rain brings a chill, so the weather was naturally cold, otherwise Li Ming would not have thought of eating hot pot. But at this time, the climate felt mild, and there was a difference around. Li Ming carefully observed the surroundings. The light was dim, but different from the night, as if it was the dark sky at dusk.

He was clearly in the temple just now, but now he is on a flat grassland. Could it be Yan Tiannan?
Li Ming's heart moved, and then he saw Yan Tiannan still lying on the ground and snoring, so he walked up to him and shook his arm.

He rubbed his eyes and looked around dazedly, then suddenly shook his head and sighed.

"Oh, how did I get you involved? It's okay. I will protect you."

"You're protecting me?" Li Ming pointed at his nose, wanting to laugh but unable to. The situation was tricky now, but he didn't look panicked at all. Maybe he really had a way to deal with it, so he nodded.

Then Yan Tiannan took Li Mingchao forward. After a few steps, they saw a palace. The palace was covered by clouds. There were guards and maids on both sides, all of them were beautiful and handsome. The palace was surrounded by exotic flowers, and the fragrance was intoxicating.

At this time, Yan Tiannan laughed and said, "It's already this hour and you're still putting on a show, wasting your energy. Are you planning to intimidate me?"

Then an old voice was heard.

"Of course not. I was afraid of neglecting my two friends, so I specially decorated it a little. Ling'er, please invite the two distinguished guests up."

Along with this old voice, a girl with a delicate face and wearing a green silk dress jumped out of the palace.

Only then did Li Ming realize that the things around him seemed a little unreal. He already had some guesses in his mind, but he kept silent.

Then the girl led the two of them into the palace. An old man was sitting in the palace, with two rows of attendants standing below him.

At this time, Yan Tiannan stepped forward and said carelessly: "You are also a god of good fortune and honor, and have been granted an imperial decree. How come you have such a poor reputation?"

The old man gave a bitter laugh and sighed, "It's a long story."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Li Ming finally confirmed that it was just as he thought. The old man was the mountain god, and this place was his divine domain.

Thanks to the last time he went to the library to look up information about fairies, Li Ming also learned something about ghosts and gods.

Since monsters exist in this world, there are naturally gods as well, but there is no such thing as a heaven that is high above and can decide the fate of the world.

On the contrary, they are independent of each other. In the beginning, the natural creatures born and nurtured in the mountains, rivers and lakes condensed their spiritual wisdom and naturally mastered the laws governing the operation of heaven and earth.

It can usually be seen in famous mountains and rivers, but not in all mountains and rivers. It is very rare.

Some gods are kind to humans and use their divine power to protect the area from bad weather. Therefore, in ancient times, people built temples to worship them. Later, it became a tradition to build mountain temples and river temples for mountains and rivers in various places.

However, not every temple can show its magic. Many temples are built to follow the trend. There are very few real gods, and some are moody and cause harm to the people.

Of course, after the world was settled, just like with the demons, the human race signed a contract with them, forming a tacit understanding that they would not cause disasters without permission. In return, they could participate in human society to a certain extent and enjoy various benefits. The gods were born from the fate of heaven and earth, but they were also trapped in one place, unable to move. They were born with naturally powerful divine power, but they could not further develop. After the human race's great cultivation reached a certain level, they could annihilate them. At that time, even if heaven and earth gave birth to such gods again, they would be in trouble.

Not to mention that this process takes hundreds or thousands of years, the reborn god is no longer the same as before.

Therefore, these gods also follow the rules.

So why did Yan Tiannan say that this person was conferred an imperial title by the court? There is a reason for this.

At first, human beings everywhere built temples, but soon people discovered that these originally godless places seemed to have spiritual responses. It turned out that human beings believed that burning incense could bring out the god of humanity.

Compared with the righteous gods of heaven and earth, the power of this kind of gods is much weaker and they have great limitations. Based on this situation, the imperial court first wiped out the evil gods in the world, and then stipulated that only the gods officially conferred by him could be considered righteous gods, and ordinary people were allowed to worship them.

As for whether your incense is popular or not, he doesn't care. In fact, not every place or every temple can produce human gods.

Some temples have everything and are very popular, but they just can't produce a humane god. Some places may just be a small village, but they can produce such a humane god.

Moreover, the God of Humanity has a limited lifespan and cannot live forever. After he disappears, he will often be unable to respond to the wishes of his believers and will end up in a miserable end.

Therefore, there are many temples in the world, many of which were once very popular, but as the lifespan of their gods came to an end, the incense stopped and finally no one cared about them.

The book "Notes from the Thatched Cottage" once recorded that the protagonist encountered righteous gods working together to fight against monsters, and he helped evil gods when they harmed people, etc.

However, this was the first time Li Ming had encountered him since he came down the mountain. Since Yan Tiannan said that this person was the God of Fortune and Blessings, he didn't need to be afraid.

After figuring out everything, Li Ming felt relieved, because as far as he knew, these so-called gods actually did not have strong powers, and at most they could affect people mentally. If they recruited people into the realm of gods like they were doing now, it would be impossible for them to harm him.

Moreover, Li Ming can leave at any time. He only needs to release his mental power to tear apart this divine domain. This is the power of an innate warrior!

Therefore, even when facing the gods created by heaven and earth, humans with supernatural powers can have equal dialogue with them. Only the most powerful gods can be considered on the same level as the gods.

This little god is really nothing special to Li Ming, so he is relieved and waits to see what happens.

The mountain god sighed deeply, then said, "My friend, you don't know this, but I was originally a traveling doctor. During my lifetime, I had some medical skills and often treated patients, which earned me a lot of merit and a great reputation. After my death, I was granted a title by imperial decree. Five hundred years ago, I became the mountain god within a hundred miles!"

He said it lightly, but even a fool knew that those who accumulated merits and were named gods of the underworld must have saved countless lives with their superb medical skills during their lifetime to be treated like this.

According to Li Ming, it is okay to confer titles on small gods, but if the god's position is higher, it will consume the court's luck. Therefore, after the great chaos five hundred years ago, the court of Daxia has almost never conferred titles on gods.

Although these righteous gods of humanity have longer lifespans than ordinary people, they still have a limit. Five hundred years is considered a long lifespan. Therefore, there are very few righteous gods in the world today. I didn't expect to see one today.

PS: Thank you for the reward from book friend Huan Cangzi, thank you very much!
