Reborn as a Snake: Many Children, Many Blessings, Only I, the Green Snake Immortal
Chapter 24 Mountain God! Incense Offerings Belonging to Xu Qing! Compromise!
Xu Qing stared in the direction of the black mist, the roar from before still echoing in his ears.
It was menacing and cold, sending a chill down one's spine.
What's inside the black mist is definitely not a friendly stunt.
Unfortunately, we know too little about the Black Mist region, and no news has ever come out of it.
Liu Mei had lived in Xuan Yin Mountain for many years and had never seen the black mist show any unusual activity.
Xu Qing didn't know how dangerous it was inside, so he didn't dare to go in and investigate rashly.
He looked in two other directions.
Huaguolin and Wolongtan are quite far from the Black Mist area. If something really happens here, then we'll have to consider going to those two areas.
The original owners would most likely not agree, so it would come down to strength.
We'll have to wait a while longer!
He now lives by the clock, calculating the days until his wives give birth.
Xu Qing looked at Liu Mei, whose belly was round and full, and he could vaguely sense the rich life force emanating from it.
"Have a few alert people keep an eye on this area and report back if anything happens."
Xu Qing gave a word of advice.
Immediately afterwards, he took Liu Mei back to the Taihang Mountains.
In the days that followed.
Everything in the mountains and forests is as usual.
The area of black fog returned to calm, as if the previous riot had never happened.
Many villages at the foot of the Taihang Mountains still require people to go into the mountains every day to beg for food.
Even though they heard that a powerful demon had emerged in the Taihang Mountains, they had no choice.
They live off the land; their skills lie in the mountains and forests. If they didn't go into the mountains, their whole family would starve to death.
When Xu Qing patrolled the mountains and forests, he would occasionally encounter hunters who were hunting.
They may be hunting prey, or they may be acting as prey.
Xu Qing watched coldly from the sidelines.
He remained unmoved when the hunter killed the creatures of the mountains, and equally unmoved when the wild beasts of the mountains tore at him.
It's all about survival; there's no right or wrong in it.
Besides, he's too lazy to do things that don't bring him any benefit.
However, sometimes when Xu Qing passed by the scene of the battle, he would only glance at it.
The beasts, sensing the presence, either became terrified and their limbs went limp, or they abandoned their prey and turned to run away.
In this way, the hunters escaped with their lives.
Sometimes, this can even lead to the killing of a ferocious beast and the acquisition of a fine pelt.
They didn't know what was going on.
The hunters, being foolish, thought it was the mountain god's blessing and knelt down to pray, thanking the mountain god for saving them.
It was just a trivial little incident.
But Xu Qing quickly noticed the anomaly.
Whenever the hunters prayed for the protection of the mountain god, a faint wisp of blue mist would fly out from their bodies.
Finally, it all fell on Xu Qing!
Xu Qing stopped abruptly, his vertical pupils gleaming as he carefully observed the azure energy flying towards him.
This thing looks all too familiar.
He just took on a lot of people a few days ago.
Incense!
Although extremely faint, it was a real offering of incense!
"Mountain God..."
A system panel appeared before Xu Qing's eyes.
His current identity has changed from "Lord of Taihang Mountain" to "Snake God of Taihang Mountain".
The difference of just two words carries completely opposite symbolic meanings!
The original mountain gods of the Taihang Mountains have long since had their spirits destroyed.
The strongest person in this area right now is Xu Qing. In a sense, he is the newly born mountain god of the Taihang Mountains!
"The mountain god they're talking about... is me, which is why the incense offerings come to me!?"
Xu Qing was well aware of the benefits of incense and its endless uses.
There was no reason for him to refuse, so he took out the jade bottle and absorbed the wisps of green energy into it.
And in the days that followed.
Xu Qing noticed that incense was appearing every day, and the amount was increasing!
He was curious and went out to investigate.
He quickly found out the truth.
The hunters, having narrowly escaped death, returned to their village and told the story of what had happened.
Few people believed it at first.
But as the rumors multiplied, naturally some people began to believe them.
Whether it's true or false, it's good to have peace of mind.
therefore.
When some hunters prepare to set off at dawn, their families will respectfully place some simple offerings, light an incense stick, face the direction of the mountains, and pray to the mountain god to bless their family members with a safe return.
Over time, the number of worshippers gradually increased.
Moreover, these incense sticks suited Xu Qing very well, and their quality was much better than what the monk Xiushan had collected before.
But the quantity is still not large.
Xu Qing absorbed some of it and could feel the changes in his body, but they were very subtle and difficult to detect.
at the same time.
Dongshu Village.
Zhu Gang, the landowner, quietly revealed himself.
The old man gazed at the Taihang Mountains in the distance, his expression constantly shifting.
First, he was shocked and horrified, then his face turned blank with confusion, and finally, he looked worried.
"If it had succeeded, it should have been released long ago!"
"There's been no movement for days; they're probably all dead inside again!"
"What am I going to do! Why am I so unlucky!"
Zhu Gang frowned deeply, and pulled out two handfuls of his beard.
The new king of Taihang Mountain is too powerful; even the bald monk of Xuanyang Temple is no match for him.
It's easy to imagine that this place will become a hotbed of trouble in the future!
When that happens, these powerful immortals will start fighting each other, wouldn't he suffer for no reason?
But as the land, he could not leave without permission.
How can this be good?
The local earth god looked worried, and the Fengyang City God Temple was equally unsettled.
Inside the hall, the City God of Fengyang, civil and military judges, and various generals and officers were present.
Their faces were all grave and grim.
The monk Xiushan has not returned for several days, and it seems that the worst has happened.
What should I do?
Report to the State Administration of Taxation?
Putting everything else aside, forget about any future promotions; you'll be stuck in Fengyang County for the rest of your life, unable to move.
This alone was enough to make the many underworld officials in the hall hesitate.
"Gentlemen, does anyone have a good plan?"
The City God of Fengyang's voice was hoarse; he had been worrying a lot these past few days, and his mind was somewhat wandering.
No one spoke; the group of underworld officials lowered their heads and remained silent.
"The only thing we can do now is to report it..." a captain began.
All eyes fell on him, and he immediately swallowed the rest of his words.
"To unite the Wuliang Sword Sect and the Dongjiang Academy?" a judge asked.
But it was immediately rejected.
"If we make too much noise, we won't be able to keep it a secret any longer."
"In my opinion, that demon hasn't descended the mountain to cause any trouble yet, and our City God Temple hasn't lost any manpower. Why don't we try to keep it under control for now?"
Upon hearing this, all the underworld officials in the hall fell silent.
After a long while.
"This is a last resort."
"What you say makes sense. It doesn't matter if that beast killed some people, the key is that it killed people from the Demon Slaying Division and Xuan Yang Temple. We need to appease them properly."
"It's just a delaying tactic; they'll settle things later."
"It's a big deal when powerful demons slaughter cities in other prefectures. We've only lost a few dozen people, it's nothing. What we need to do now is suppress the situation!"
"That's excellent!"
The worry between the brows of the City God of Fengyang dissipated somewhat.
He nodded and said, "Let's do it this way for now, suppress the matter, and we can discuss the rest later!"
