Chapter 168: Chapter 96: Teacher’s Kindness is as Heavy as a Mountain_2

Granny Sha said, "Green Sheep, Old Hu, let’s offer some incense to the Mountain Lord first."

Each of them, a person, a fox, and a sheep, held incense and bowed deeply toward Chen Shi.

Chen Shi hurriedly dodged, but he was held down by the Green Sheep and the bearded man, unable to move.

"We are not worshiping you, but the Mountain Lord, so don’t feel embarrassed!" Granny Sha said.

Chen Shi had no choice but to stand still and wait for them to finish their worship, then he saw the incense in their hands rise and fly into the small temple, automatically inserting themselves into the incense burner.

"Granny, you are the elders, let me kowtow to you in return!"

As Chen Shi said this, he was about to bow to the three, whose faces abruptly changed, and they quickly blocked him with their hands. Granny Sha, with a stern face, exclaimed, "Little Ten, we are worshiping the Mountain Lord, not you, it doesn’t disrupt the order of seniority! If you kowtow to us, by implication, the Mountain Lord would also have to kowtow to us, and that is something we cannot accept; we might even shorten our lifespan!"

The Green Sheep and the bearded man nodded repeatedly.

The Green Sheep said, "While the Mountain Lord resides in your temple, you should not bow to anyone you see, understand? Just nod at most!"

Chen Shi nodded.

Granny Sha heaved a sigh of relief, looked around his small temple, and pondered, "Has your shrine turning into a small temple caused any abnormalities?"

Chen Shi honestly replied, "Nothing abnormal, except that I feel I can now summon the Mountain Lord and Huang Hu."

The three stared wide-eyed at each other.

They could even summon the Mountain Lord?

Did this small temple even understand what kind of being the Mountain Lord was? It dared to command the Mountain Lord!

The Green Sheep scoffed, "Summon the Mountain Lord? I don’t..."

Before the word "believe" could leave its mouth, it was muffled by the bearded man’s hand.

Granny Sha laughed, "Little Ten, no need to test, Granny believes you. Green Sheep, if you spout nonsense again, I’ll hotpot you tonight!"

The bearded man nodded repeatedly.

Chen Shi asked, "Granny, now that the Mountain Lord is residing in my small temple, like my own Divine Embryo, will I still be able to receive blessings from the True God during the Divine Descent Grand Ritual the day after tomorrow and obtain another Divine Embryo?"

Granny Sha asked, "Have you ever seen a person with two Divine Embryos?"

Chen Shi shook his head.

Granny Sha smiled, "Since you already possess a Divine Embryo, there won’t be a second one. Little Ten, stop overthinking. Isn’t the announcement tomorrow? You should head to the county town early to avoid any delays."

Chen Shi called Black Pot, got into the wooden cart, waved goodbye to them, and the wooden cart headed toward the county town.

"Little Ten, it’s best not to expose your small temple to others."

Granny Sha still worried, called out loudly, "And don’t let others see the Divine Embryo either!"

Chen Shi replied, as the wooden cart gradually moved away.

Once the wooden cart had vanished from their sight, Granny Sha’s smile disappeared, and she exchanged glances with the Green Sheep and the bearded man.

"Little Ten’s stone godmother definitely has some issues!"

Granny Sha said, "Old Chen entrusted Little Ten to us on his deathbed, a responsibility of care. We cannot be careless; we must prevent any Evil Spirits from targeting Little Ten!"

The Green Sheep said, "The stone godmother bestowed neither early nor late, only after Old Chen died, clearly fearing Old Chen would uncover its secret."

The bearded man laughed heartily, "The three of us are no less capable than Old Chen. While Old Chen was alive, he could suppress the stone godmother slightly; together, the three of us can certainly suppress it greatly at Huangpo Village."

The three set out immediately, heading straight for the yellow earth mound outside the village.

In a short time, they arrived in front of the yellow earth mound. Stepping forward, the sky tilted and the yellow earth rose as if suspended above them while they stood over an endless void, struck by a strong sensation of falling.

Behind the bearded man, nine tails appeared, which he shook vigorously, shouting, "Stabilize!"

The sensation of falling immediately ceased.

The three moved forward, attempting to ascend the yellow heaven.

However, with each step they took, the pressure increased sharply, as if climbing a mountain with each step toward the sky!

The unspoiled state of this patch of yellow earth over six thousand years was not without reason.

The trio was indeed formidable, bravely enduring the pressure, and reached the top of the mound, fixing their gaze on a scholar ghost hanging from a crooked-neck tree.

Supporting each other, they struggled toward the old willow tree.

Zhu Xiucai curiously watched them, seeing the three odd figures appearing as if they were on their last legs.

"Don’t die at my feet; I can’t stand that sight! If you’re going to die, choose another place!" Zhu Xiucai quickly called out.

The three ignored him, trembled under the increasing pressure, and their faces turned red.

Their legs shaking, they finally reached the willow tree.

"Thud!"

Granny Sha, overwhelmed by the pressure, knelt on the ground, supporting herself with her hands, trying not to bow, but the pressure on her neck was as heavy as Tai Mountain, forcing her to bow or risk breaking her neck.

"Thud!" "Thud!"

The Green Sheep and the bearded man also knelt simultaneously, unable to get up.

The bearded man’s body trembled, he gritted his teeth, and shakily took out several incense sticks from his chest, lit them all at once, and forcefully inserted them in front of the stele under the willow tree.

The pressure on him lifted rapidly, and the bearded man relaxed, rolling over to lie on his back on the grass, gasping for air.

Seeing this, Granny Sha and the Green Sheep also took out their incense, lit them, and placed them in front of the stele, greatly reducing their pressure.

After resting for a moment, the three hurriedly descended the mound.

Granny Sha turned back, looking at the old willow tree with lingering fear, whispered, "What is the origin of the godmother Old Chen found for Little Ten?"

She frowned, currently Chen Yindou was in the underworld, restraining the Evil Spirit from entering Chen Shi’s body, leaving no time to inquire further, otherwise, she could have asked him in the underworld.
