Chapter 1734: Cloud Cave

A fox statue was dug out from the snow. It was about half a person's height when standing up. It was made of stone, and not just any stone.

Fragments of jade can be seen on the stone that makes up the statue, and the statue may have originally been a piece of raw jade.

It is very rare to use this thing to make statues, and judging from the size of the statues, it should be able to produce a lot of good jade.

The statues in most temples are actually made of clay and then coated with a layer of paint. If the statues are made directly from raw jade ore, it means that either there is a large amount of jade produced here, or the offerings themselves are very important.

But the sculpture was actually a fox.

"Don't look at me, I'm just a vixen."

"This should be the land god, and the temple should be a land temple."

Li Chengxi said:

"On the way here, I encountered Ye Zimen. The land temple still worshipped a yellow fox. It's not strange to worship a fox here."

The difference between the land god and the monster is huge.

Land gods usually have the shape of animals, rather than mutated animals like monsters. In addition, land gods are still "gods" after all, while monsters are spirits, which is an essential difference.

For example, the land gods and river gods that Yang Yiyi and her companions met when they went to southern Xinjiang are closely related to the land and rivers they control. They can never leave the place where they were born and raised, but monsters do not have these restrictions.

Yang Yiyi looked up and down at the fox statue:
"What's the use?"

"It's useful. There's still some divine power left in this thing."

In fact, it is not real divine power, but rather the power of faith.

God transforms mortals' faith into divine power for his own use, but what remains on the statue is still the power of faith, not the transformed divine power.

The land god will only bless the area under his control with good weather and good harvests. If any evil creature or monster comes, he will fight it for three hundred rounds.

Basically, the land god disappeared because he wanted to protect the land that gave birth to him.

The power that supports the land god comes from the incense burning by mortals. The more prosperous the incense burning and the more mortals respect it, the stronger the power of the land god will be, and vice versa.

Let’s take the example of the land god that Yang Yiyi met. The snowy owl land god had no other magical powers except for speaking. The main reason was that there were not many incense sticks.

On the contrary, the river god they met before entering southern Xinjiang was able to use magic to lead Yang Yiyi and the others to the river, and also gave them three scales that had the effect of repelling water, because the river god was often worshipped by people.

It stands to reason that there has been no incense for at least a thousand years, and the power of faith in the statue of the land god should have dissipated long ago, but it still retains a little bit.

This also indirectly shows that this place was very popular in the past.

"Don't move. All of you step back a little. I'll see if I can get the land god out."

Divine power is a transformation of the power of faith, a purer power, so it should be possible to recharge it.

As Li Chengxi said, everyone except Yang Yiyi stepped back a little, and then Li Chengxi reached his hand into the screen.

A striking blue light flew from Yang Yiyi to the statue, and then a golden light became so bright that it was difficult for people to open their eyes, and they all covered their eyes with their hands.

The fox spirit and capybara spirit almost fell to their knees upon seeing this. The perception of monsters is much stronger than that of humans. Even a tiny bit of insignificant divine power can be felt with the terrifying might of God.

After a while, everyone felt the light dimming and opened their eyes to look.

The fox statue seemed to be cracked, with countless dense cracks appearing on the surface and then falling off.

A jade fox crawled out from inside, shook off the remaining stone powder on its body, and looked up at everyone.

Although it looks cute, the fox's eyes are as weathered as an old man's, as if it has seen through the world.

It didn't speak, and I don't know if it can. The jade fox lowered its front paws, as if bowing its head to Yang Yiyi, or to Li Chengxi.

“Are you from this land?”

Hearing Li Chengxi's words, the jade fox nodded in agreement.

"What on earth happened here?"

There was a flash of sadness in the jade fox's eyes, and it gestured with its two paws, but it was really hard to understand.

"Is there a place called Boyun Cave here?"

This time the jade fox nodded vigorously, then jumped out of the land temple and shook its tail, as if to say, follow me.

"Follow them, and be careful, there are too many weird things in this place."

According to Lei Lei, the land god has no bad intentions. If he kills a living being, he will disappear into thin air. Therefore, in the eyes of the cultivators, the land god is more trustworthy than humans.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

For Qin Yan, everything that has happened recently has challenged her worldview. In other words, since she met Yang Yiyi, she has often encountered things beyond common sense.

Li Chengxi first appeared on the way to southern Xinjiang, then he saw witchcraft and nine phoenixes in southern Xinjiang, and now he sees monsters and land gods. These things obviously only exist in legends, but they are right next to him. It feels very unreal.

Even Ning Xianer couldn't get used to it. After all, Father Eagle always avoided people when he went to Tianjue Palace.

On the other hand, for Yang Yiyi, it was very natural.

From the moment she fished the Book of the Sky out of the spring, no matter how strange the things that happened were, she thought they were natural.

——It may also be that I am too straightforward and don’t think too much.

Following behind is a fox whose entire body is made of sparkling jade, and two monsters. The scene looks weird no matter how you look at it.

Although the land god had regained its ability to move with the support of Li Chengxi's divine power, it was already in a state of exhaustion. The reason it was able to move now was purely because Li Chengxi's divine power acted like a tiger and wolf medicine, allowing it to temporarily regain its vitality.

It is hard to say how long this land god can continue to be active, and it is useless even if Li Chengxi injects it with divine power.

Fortunately, the God of Land is worthy of being the God of Land, and he knows his territory very well.

It led Yang Yiyi and the others back for a while, and then, as if it was going around a mountain wall, it took Yang Yiyi and the others up to the other side where the water was much flatter.

In this dark environment, it would be difficult to find the place without the guidance of someone familiar with the environment.

When it reached the halfway point of the mountain, the fox began to walk on a path that was close to the mountain wall, so small that a person could barely move across by leaning sideways.

It was not difficult for others to get there, but the two monsters took a lot of effort and finally climbed up safely.

When it was around two o'clock in the morning on Li Chengxi's side, the Jade Fox led Yang Yiyi and the others to climb a cliff on the mountain wall.

This is a hillside that is slightly raised on the mountain wall. Looking from below, it almost merges with the mountain wall. After everyone came up, the jade fox pointed to the mountain wall on the other side of the cliff.

Yang Yiyi turned her head and looked, there were only mirror-smooth stones, no cave.

For a moment, everyone thought they were fooled by the Jade Fox, but Li Chengxi said:

"It's a trick. There's an illusion in front of you. You can reach out and touch the cave."

Qin Yan reached out her hand and touched it twice doubtfully, and suddenly one of her hands sank into the mountain wall, which scared her.
