Chapter 1734 Cloud-clearing Cave

A fox statue was dug out from the snow. It was about half a person tall when erected. It was made of stone, and it was not an ordinary stone.

Fragments of jade can be seen on the stone that made up the statue. This statue may have been a piece of raw jade ore.

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

The statues in the general temple are actually clay sculptures, and then coated with a layer of paint. If the statues are made directly from raw jade ore, either a large amount of jade is produced here, or the object of worship is very important.

But the sculpture is a fox.

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

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

Li Chengxi said:

"When I came here, I was on the road, just when I ran into Yezimen, and there was a yellow fox in the land temple. It's not surprising to worship a fox here."

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

Land gods usually only have the shape of animals, not mutated animals like monsters. In addition, land gods are still "gods" after all, while monsters are spirits, which are essentially different.

For example, the land gods and river gods that Yang Yiyi and her friends met when they went to southern Xinjiang before were closely related to the land and rivers they controlled. They could never leave the place where they were born and raised, while monsters did not have these restrictions.

Yang Yiyi looked up and down at the fox statue:

"What's the use of this?"

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

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

Gods transform mortals' faith into divine power for their own use, and what remains on the statue is still the power of faith, not the transformed divine power.

The land god will only bless the place under his control with good weather and good harvests. If there are evil monsters, he will fight with it for three hundred rounds.

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

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

Let's take the land god that Yang Yiyi met as an example. The snow owl land god has no magical powers except speaking, mainly because there are not many incense.

On the contrary, the river god met before entering southern Xinjiang was able to cast a spell to lead Yang Yiyi and her friends to the river, and also gave them three scales with water-repellent effects, because the river god was often worshipped.

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

This also indirectly shows that the incense here was prosperous back then.

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

The divine power is transformed from the power of faith, a purer power, and it should be possible to charge it.

According to what Li Chengxi said, everyone except Yang Yiyi stepped back a little, and then Li Chengxi reached into the screen.

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

The fox spirit and the capybara spirit almost knelt down when they saw this. The perception of monsters is much stronger than that of humans. Even if it is just a little bit of insignificant divine power, they can feel the terrible and magnificent divine power.

After a while, everyone felt the light decrease and opened their eyes.

The fox statue seemed to crack, and countless dense cracks appeared on the epidermis, and then fell off.

A jade fox came out from it, shook off the stone powder left on its body, and looked up at everyone.

Although it looks cute, the fox's eyes are as vicissitudes as an old man, with a sense of seeing 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 the land god here?"

Hearing Li Chengxi's words, the Jade Fox nodded in response.

"What happened here?"

The Jade Fox's eyes flashed with sadness, and its two claws gestured back and forth, but it really couldn't understand.

"Is there a place called Boyun Cave here?"

This time, the Jade Fox nodded fiercely, then jumped out of the land temple, and shook its tail, as if to say follow me.

"Follow me, be careful, there are too many strange things in this place."

According to Lei Lei, the land god has no bad intentions. If the land god kills, it will disappear into thin air, so in the eyes of the cultivators, the land god is more trustworthy than people.

–--——---——

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

At first, Li Chengxi showed up on the way to Southern Xinjiang. Later, he saw witchcraft and Nine Phoenix in Southern Xinjiang. Now he saw monsters and land gods. These things only existed in legends, but they were right next to him. It felt 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, Yang Yiyi was very natural.

From the moment she fished out the Qingtian Book from the spring, no matter how weird things happened, she thought it was natural.

——It may also be that her mind is too straightforward and she didn't think too much.

Following a fox made of jade and glittering all over, and two monsters following behind, this scene is so weird.

Although the land god has regained its ability to move with the support of Li Chengxi's divine power, it was originally in a state of exhaustion. Now it can move, purely because Li Chengxi's divine power has played the role of a tiger and wolf medicine, allowing it to temporarily return to life.

It is hard to say how long this land god can move, and it is useless for Li Chengxi to inject more divine power into it.

Fortunately, the land god is worthy of being a land god, and he knows his territory very well.

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

In this dark environment, if there is no familiar environment to lead, it is really hard to find it.

When it came to the middle of the mountain, the fox began to walk on the path close to the mountain wall, the kind that a person could barely move sideways.

It was not difficult for others to get there, but the two monsters took a lot of effort to get there, and they climbed up without any danger.

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

This was a slightly raised slope on the mountain wall, and it almost merged with the mountain wall from the bottom. When everyone came up, the Jade Fox pointed to the mountain wall on the other side of the cliff.

Yang Yiyi turned her head and saw only smooth stones like mirrors, but no cave.

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

"It's a trick, there is an illusion in front, you can touch the cave with your hand."

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