The Mountain God Shrine

The number of people going into the mountains was not much different from before.

The main issue is that a group of people left, and a new group of people arrived.

As a result, the number of people coming here has remained basically the same.

After wandering around the mountains for a while, Fang Zelin looked around but still couldn't find a clue.

It was already noon. Fang Zelin swept the stones on the side and prepared to sit down and rest.

Just then, Fang Zelin's ears twitched slightly as he heard what sounded like a heavy object falling into the water.

There were also gasps of surprise.

Upon hearing the sound, Fang Zelin immediately got up and ran towards its source.

After a short while, Fang Zelin arrived at a pool of water.

Although it's autumn now, it's still very hot. I wonder if some kids have come here to play in the water?

As Fang Zelin thought this, he came closer and saw a child in the pool, slowly swimming towards the shore.

Seeing this, Fang Zelin relaxed and was about to tell the other party not to play in the water when suddenly his brows furrowed slightly.

I hadn't looked closely before, but upon closer inspection, I realized that the child hadn't swum to the shore on his own.

It was as if the water was lifting the child, carrying him towards the shore.

Fang Zelin was taken aback upon seeing this. Could it be that some expert had made a move?

Thinking of this, Fang Zelin immediately perked up and quickly began to carefully sense this subtle fluctuation of Law Power.

Once the child reached the shore, the Law Power was immediately withdrawn.

Seeing this, Fang Zelin quickly followed.

After following behind for about a few minutes, Fang Zelin arrived at a mountain god temple.

The mountain god temple is not large, in fact, it is very small, and not even a single person can fit inside.

It's basically just a small temple made of piled-up stones, with the incense burner placed outside.

Looking at the incense ash, it seemed that no one had come to burn incense for a long time.

Just now, that wisp of Law Power clearly returned to this mountain god temple.

Just by looking at it, it's clear that the mountain god temple only has a little bit of Law Power, which is nowhere near as good as Fang Zelin's.

Fang Zelin was stunned for a long time after seeing this. "This is the master that everyone was talking about? So all the previous rumors were just falsehoods?"

After thinking for a moment, Fang Zelin decided to invite the mountain god out for a chat.

However, after Fang Zelin used Law Technique to call out, he also felt a slight fluctuation coming from the mountain god temple, and then he became immersed in the magic again.

"Only a sliver of vague intelligence?"

Fang Zelin thought about what he had just sensed and immediately frowned.

After sitting down, Fang Zelin carefully sensed the situation for a while and roughly understood the current state of the mountain god temple.

This mountain god temple must have been worshipped for a long time, so it has somehow developed a little bit of sentience.

However, the incense offerings were subsequently cut off, leaving the situation stuck in this awkward position.

Putting aside everything else, it's been so long since anyone has offered incense to this incense burner.

Even so, the mountain god still relied on his limited Law Technique to do what little he could.

The path of spiritual cultivation is truly not easy.

This is actually very similar to him; he didn't receive any guidance on his cultivation journey and just followed his own path in a daze.

As Fang Zelin thought about this, he couldn't help but recall his cultivation journey and all the various aspects of it.

And some things that happened during my own cultivation made me feel a strange sense of emotion.

A mountain breeze gently blew past Fang Zelin, and then past the mountain god temple.

Sweep away all the fallen leaves in front of the mountain god temple.

Fang Zelin and the Mountain God Temple were sitting opposite each other. When he saw this scene, his eyes flickered slightly, his heart skipped a beat, and a sense of enlightenment inexplicably arose in his mind.

More than a year of spiritual practice, what I have seen and heard, and the words of the Dao De Jing that I have spoken—all these words flashed through my mind at this moment.

"Excuse me!"

In just a short while, Fang Zelin's entire demeanor changed, becoming even more otherworldly.

Fang Zelin stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the mountain god in the temple, and then made a slight movement in his hand. Bearing the Heavens Sword sensed Fang Zelin's thoughts.

It immediately flew to Fang Zelin's hand on its own.

Fang Zelin drew his sword and began to write on the left and right sides of the mountain god temple, infusing the words with the sliver of enlightenment he had just gained.

"The temple is small and deserted, swept by the wind; heaven and earth are moved, and the moon serves as its lamp."

The line of text contained some of Fang Zelin's recent insights.

Just as the two lines of text were finished being carved, a flash of inspiration struck, and a strange charm slowly spread out, only to quietly disappear again.

The soft light flickered for a moment before slowly dimming.

After a short while, the characters no longer showed any luster; the two lines of characters carved into the stone only appeared vigorous and powerful.

Meanwhile, in the nearby mountains and forests...

An old man was looking at the man in front of him. After finishing his instructions, he was about to say something more when he suddenly sensed something and immediately looked in the direction of the mountain god temple.

"This is."

After carefully sensing the situation, the old man's expression changed drastically. He then waved his hand, sending the man away.

The next moment, mist rose up around the old man and immediately headed towards the direction of the mountain god temple.

Fang Zelin, seeing that he had some insights into the meaning of the words, immediately smiled with satisfaction.

With this, the mountain god should also be able to benefit from it.

The moment he sat down in front of the mountain god's temple, a sudden realization dawned on him, and it brought him some benefits.

In that instant, he gained a clearer perception of the world around him.

This is a real and tangible benefit.

Just as Fang Zelin was about to say something, he suddenly frowned.

A quick glance revealed a cloud of mist spreading out in the distance, clearly heading this way.

What is that?

Fang Zelin was taken aback when he saw this, not knowing where the fog came from, and quickly stepped aside.

As he retreated, Fang Zelin used his Supreme Sensitivity to probe into the mist.

"Could it be the master I've been searching for all along?"

The thought flashed through Fang Zelin's mind subconsciously. Although he held some anticipation, he dared not venture into the fog.

A moment after Fang Zelin stepped back, the fog rolled in and then enveloped the mountain god temple.

Immediately, an old man appeared in front of the mountain god temple.

When the old man scanned the mountain god temple with his cloudy eyes and saw the extra couplets on the left and right, he was immediately stunned.

Upon closer inspection, his expression suddenly changed.

If ordinary people can't see it, how could he not?

These characters contain Spiritual Power, and possess an indescribable charm that flows through them.

It's clear that immortals have visited this place!
