Calabash Fairy

Looking at Yang Sheng kneeling before him, his heart filled with a complex mix of fear, excitement, and other emotions, Fang Yan was not surprised by his reaction.

Even though he had responded to Yang Sheng's prayers several times before, this is the distance between God and man...

Fang Yan waved his hand lightly, and as a gentle breeze swept by, Yang Sheng's complex emotions gradually calmed down.

"There's no need for such formalities."

"Please stand up first, I have something to ask you."

"Yes, Lord Mountain God."

Upon hearing this, Yang Sheng lowered his head and slowly stood up, his heart pounding with unease.

"Yang Sheng, would you be willing to become the temple keeper of my mountain god temple in the future?"

After the Mountain God Seal changed, the first person Fang Yan thought of was Yang Sheng, who was standing in front of him.

This man was virtuous and talented. He had previously defied public opinion and led the villagers of Xiahe Village to build a temple to worship him. In recent years, he has also written books and biographies to spread his divine name. He has a deep connection with the people of Xiahe Village.

If we choose to follow God, who else but this one could be qualified?

......................................

As Yang Sheng slowly awoke from his sleep at dawn, the gentle voice of the Mountain God echoed in his ears.

"You should focus on managing Xiahe Village for now; this will be a good deed for you. When the time is right, come up the mountain."

...when the temple keeper...becomes a deity under the command of the mountain god...

Yang Sheng recalled everything that happened in his dream last night, and he was still somewhat bewildered.

This all happened so suddenly...

Yang Sheng lay on the bed in a daze for a long time, but suddenly he remembered another matter that the Mountain God had told him in his dream. He slapped his forehead, quickly got up, put on his clothes, and called out:

"Xiao Chuan! Go and call your brother Xu Hu!"

..........................................

"Mountain God! That witch dares to commit violence in the village! Please open your eyes! My poor son..."

"Oh dear, this is unbearable! My husband idles away his days away, and he even insisted on forming some gang with a bunch of hooligans, and now look what he's done..."

Halfway up Qingfeng Mountain, in front of the Stone Pool.

Accompanied by four little demons, Fang Yan sat cross-legged facing the Xiahe Village below, listening to the prayers of the ruffian family members that kept coming to his ears.

With a slight movement of his fingers, the prayers that had been constantly emanating from his ears began to fade away, and soon a commotion arose in the homes of the ruffians who worshipped his idol.

Suddenly, these people saw their mountain god statues fall backward with a series of loud cracking sounds! No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't straighten the statues!

This sudden scene terrified them!

Hearing the commotion below the mountain, the group of lesser demons behind Fang Yan all poked their heads out, looking down with curiosity.

These noisy little ones can only calm down when they're around him.

Fang Yan chuckled and said:

"Instead of revealing ourselves to the world and directly telling the villagers that these scoundrels' actions are wrong, it would be better to let the world experience firsthand what it means to have divine intervention."

"If they can truly believe this in their hearts, they will naturally be much more careful in their future actions."

Dahuang asked with some doubt:

"Master, you said these humans were fine before, so why have they been arguing so often since the beginning of this year?"

Infected by the mysterious water, observing the lives of the villagers at the foot of the mountain is also a pastime for the four little demons when they have nothing to do. Having a common hobby is one of the reasons why their relationship has become so close.

Fang Yan patted Big Yellow's head and chuckled:

"Humans are driven by desires."

"When people encounter a strong wind, they hope to have a wall to shelter them from the wind. Once they have a wall to shelter them from the wind, they hope to have a roof to keep them from the rain. Once they have both a wall and a roof, it would be even better if they could have a straw mat to put under them."

"Having desires is actually a good thing. Look at how Xiahe Village changes every year. It is precisely because people have the desire to live a better life that they have the motivation and the changes we see today."

"The only variable here is whether each person can control their desires, whether they see them as motivation, or whether they let the fire of desire continue to expand and burn until they are consumed by it."

As Fang Yan spoke, he glanced at the four little demons beside him. Apart from Xuan Shui, the other three looked confused, and he couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

"Perhaps you'll understand someday."

Fang Yan looked down and saw that Xiahe Village was becoming increasingly noisy, clearly because the sudden changes were beginning to take effect. Yang Sheng and Xu Hu and the others had also gathered together.

When he appeared to Yang Sheng in his dream earlier, he instructed Yang Sheng and Xu Hu to tell the villagers that the twenty-odd ruffians had made improper advances toward Qiu'er, a girl who was only fourteen years old, which angered the mountain god. That's why the mountain god bestowed Qiu'er with his abilities to punish them.

Given the tremors that shook the mountains that day, and the fact that the sacred mountain statues in these ruffians' homes have now all fallen over, the villagers naturally believe it without a doubt.

In this way, Qiu'er also transformed into the mountain god's agent, and the villagers would understand that if they did bad things, they would attract the mountain god's attention, which could be considered as killing two birds with one stone.

Furthermore, he had already instructed Yang Sheng to tell Xu Hu to have the man erect a stone tablet at the entrance of Qingfeng Mountain, as he had a purpose for it.

In fact, Fang Yan was indeed somewhat angry about this matter.

These hooligans coveted Su Xueyi's beauty back then, but they were so frightened by her that they decided to teach her a lesson. Now that Su Xueyi is gone, they've set their sights on Qiu'er, a fourteen-year-old girl.

Not to mention that he was the one who saved Qiu'er's life back then, and he has watched this girl grow up to where she is now. He also has a close relationship with the Yunhua Fairy lineage. Just looking at what these scoundrels have done makes him quite annoyed.

Qiu'er whipped these people with her Soul-Slaying Whip, giving them a lesson they would never forget. Even if the pain in their souls healed in the future, it would inevitably become a shadow over their lives.

This event will inevitably be recorded in the "Mountain God of Qingfeng Mountain, Volume Three" that Yang Sheng is currently compiling, adding a significant chapter to it.

.....................................

Half a month later, in Xiahe Village, things indeed developed in the direction Fang Yan had predicted.

First, the earthquake and the toppling of the mountain god statue were interpreted as the mountain god's wrath. The unruly family members, terrified, rushed to Qiu'er's house to beg for forgiveness. Then, they hurriedly took offerings up the mountain, praying for the mountain god's forgiveness...

In the eyes of the villagers of Xiahe Village, it was unimaginable to lose the protection of the mountain god!

At the opportune moment, Yang Sheng stepped forward and said that he had received a decree from the Mountain God that if these people sincerely repented, the Mountain God, being merciful and compassionate, would show leniency.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the village became more orderly, and the previous rumors about Qiu'er disappeared one after another.

Xu Hu then delivered the blank stone tablet to the foot of the mountain.

At the moment this monument was erected, witnessed by the villagers, the ten large characters "When a thought arises in the human heart, heaven and earth know it all" suddenly appeared out of thin air on the monument amidst a flash of golden light.

Just one glance is enough to inspire awe...
