Chapter 142: Broken Temple
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ten minutes later, in the forest in the south of the mountain.
The crooked mahogany pillars supported a dilapidated old temple. The ground was scattered with debris, and the roof showed signs of man-made repair. Unfortunately, human strength could not stop the speed of its destruction, and sunlight still leaked from above.
The entangled ivy had already eroded more than half of the building and was about to break through the eaves. However, because it was too thick, it faintly provided some support for this dilapidated temple.
“This is the Earth Temple?” Ji Jing stepped onto the bluestone slab at the entrance. It was covered in weeds and moss, and her original appearance could hardly be seen.
This place looked even more desolate than the room that had been struck by lightning in the Taoist temple. It was hard to imagine that this was the place where the lively and persistent Earth Guild lived.
Who’s at the door?” A short old man suddenly emerged from the temple. His beard was white, but his body was as strong as a young man who often exercised.
Ji Jing quickly matched him with the local god’s profile picture in WeChat.”Are you the local god?”
“Yes, who are you?” The local god straightened his clothes and sized them up warily. Could it be someone who came to fulfill his wish? However, he had never heard of any wish that had come true.
“I’m Ji Jing, and this is my friend Ming Ze.”Ji Jing gave a simple introduction.
“Oh, it’s you!” The local god nodded in surprise.” Mingze…” This name seems a little familiar…
Ming Ze, isn’t that the head of the Bai Ze clan? The local god’s expression changed and he turned to run!
In a flash, Ming Ze waved his hand casually. The local god had only taken two steps when he crashed into the invisible barrier.
“Where are you going? The immortals on this mountain have long died out. Where did you come from?”Ming Ze’s tone was flat, but to the local god, it sounded like an evil spirit.
” Me, me…” The local god ran left and right, but he couldn’t get out. He crashed into the barrier until it was really painful. He finally gave up and sat on the ground.
“Sigh………………………….. I am Earth No. 2.” The local god sighed helplessly. If Ming Ze wanted to stop him, who could escape? Forget it, he had resigned himself to his fate. Perhaps his life on the land was destined to come to an end today.
“Don’t scare him.” Ji Jing tugged at Ming Ze’s sleeve and he removed the barrier.
Ji Jing squatted down and asked,” Don’t worry. I came here today to look for a child. It’s Bai Wang. You know him.” I promised you that I would offer you a sacrifice, so I came along the way.”
“Are you serious?” The local god’s hope was rekindled. He looked at Ji Jing on the left and Ming Ze on the right. Seeing that Ming Ze had removed the barrier and had no intention of making a move, he patted the soil and stood up.
“Quick, the offering table is over there.” The local god pointed at the only relatively new item in the room, a clean table.
“Tell me first, what does the Earth God Number 2 mean?” Ji Jing asked as she walked. ”
“This…” The local god scratched his head and began to tell his story.
It turned out that he used to be an ordinary little demon in this mountain. At that time, the mountain god was still there, and the former earth god was still there. There, there was a constant stream of incense, and the mountain was always lively.
Because he lived very close to the local god, he often helped the local god handle the affairs of the vow, so he became familiar with it after a while.
However, the good times did not last long. A violent turmoil suddenly began in the human world. Humans could not even eat their own food and could not even keep their lives, let alone worship the gods. The incense in the mountains declined from then on. Later, the war in the human world stopped, but people’s faith continued to decline.
Immortals relied on faith to survive. Without faith, gods would lose the meaning of their existence and die.
The first to leave was the god in the city, who had died before the turmoil began. Later, the mountain god also left in the war. Later on, the former local god also gradually weakened.
That day, the ignorant little demon had originally wanted to send the former local god on his last journey, but he did not expect to save a child on the way. It was the old Bai Wang..
