Chapter 48 Fengshen

It was a man in white clothes with intricate patterns mixed with blue and gold.Long silver-white hair hangs down, and the tail of the hair is light blue, like the purest sky.The long hair covered half of the face, and the rest of the face was cold and hard. There was a faint golden dragon hovering behind him with a fierce look in his eyes.

Chu Zhou raised his heart, but the other party just looked at him blankly, his golden eyes were full of disappointment, seeing him turn around, he froze for a moment, then a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, he waved his sleeves, and disappeared in an instant.

"You are..." Chu Zhou had just opened his mouth, and he was the only one left there. He swallowed his unspoken words, thinking in his heart, could this be... Fengshen?

He looked around in place, but there was no one except the branches dancing in the wind.He tentatively called out, "...Lord Fengshen?" The leaves rattled, as if catering to his voice.

The person suspected of Fengshen did not appear.

Chu Zhou raised his head, saw that the sky was getting dark, frowned, and decided to go back first.

After he left, Fengshen appeared in front of the shrine again, staggered a bit before standing still, looked at his back, and murmured: "...it's a human being..."

It turns out that there are still humans coming here...

It's been a long, long time... he hasn't seen a human being.

It was already dark when Chu Zhou went back.

Seeing that he came back so late, the village chief asked curiously, "Why did you come back now?"

While walking back, Chu Zhou replied, "I went to the woods today, and I was a little confused about the direction, so I was delayed for a while."

"It's the forest by the village. It has just rained. Be careful not to go too deep."

The village head told him that this is a mountain forest after all, and the people in the village usually move around it. If you go deeper, the villagers will not be familiar with it.

"No..." Chu Zhou originally wanted to make it clear that it was the forest on the opposite side, but suddenly realized that he couldn't explain how he crossed the river, so he just nodded and agreed, "Okay, I will pay attention."

Seeing that the village chief was about to leave, he stopped and pretended to ask casually, "Well, no one usually goes to the opposite forest?"

The village chief was stunned for a moment, laughed, and said, "We can't cross the river. Besides, there's nothing important in that forest. It's enough to go to the forest next to the village." He was worried that Chu Zhou would be curious. Wanting to pass, I reminded, "Don't cross the river."

Seeing his serious expression, Chu Zhou nodded and agreed.

However, he went to the opposite forest the next day.

The Kappa was still observing the human beings in the river. When he asked the other party for help, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Is the god you mentioned last time the Wind God?"

The kappa shook his head and replied: "I don't know, it's just a story, and it was only told when I was a child, and no one has heard it now."

"So, what is the content of the story?" Chu Zhou asked.

The kappa stopped his movements and thought about it carefully, and finally said in frustration: "I can't remember, I just remember that a god who manipulated the red dragon saved mankind hundreds of years ago."

At that time, he only thought that it was a dragon, and the one who could control the dragon must be a very powerful god.But the storyteller did not tell its continuation, and he gradually forgot the story of the gods, and became interested only in observing human beings.

Red Dragon?But what he saw was a golden dragon...

But when the other party appeared in the shrine, he could disappear out of thin air, and there was a dragon behind him, so it should be Fengshen, right?

After Chu Zhou crossed the river, seeing that the kappa was about to sink to the bottom, he asked curiously, "Why are you alone every time?"

"They," Kappa's expression drooped, and he sighed sadly, "They are all getting ready..."

"What preparation?" Chu Zhou just asked, Kappa shook his head, then went back below the water surface and did not move.

Chu Zhou didn't ask anymore, maybe it was the Kappa's own activities, and humans couldn't let them know.

He followed yesterday's road to the shrine again, where it was still quiet, as if the person who appeared yesterday was just his hallucination.

Yet he knew it wasn't an illusion.

Chu Zhou first called out "Lord Fengshen" twice, but the other party didn't come out, and he didn't feel lost, so he walked into the shrine.

I don't know how many years no one has come here, but the shrine has not been turned into ruins inexplicably, but it looks a little dilapidated.

He put the things he brought aside first, took a deep breath, and started to work.

Pick up the plaque and wipe off the dirt on it. It stands to reason that the wooden plaque should have been turned into dust long ago, but after wiping it clean, the word "Fengshen" is still vaguely discernible, as if it hasn't been dropped for too long.

The story is about hundreds of years ago...

He couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it any further.

Hang up the plaque, almost remove the weeds on the steps, and pile the fruits picked on the road on the leaves...

"Huh—" Chu Zhou took a deep breath, and couldn't help but smile when he saw the completely different shrine, "Perfect."

He was a little thirsty, and seeing that Fengshen hadn't appeared, he reached out and took a bite of a fruit, licked the splashed juice, and shouted into the air after eating, "Master Fengshen?"

There was only the sound of wind in the air, but he somehow felt that Fengshen must be nearby, so he smiled a little, louder his voice, and said in a relaxed tone, "Master Fengshen, then these fruits will stay here." There seemed to be the sound of robes flapping in the wind, but there was still no one.

Chu Zhou narrowed his eyes, walked out, looked back at the tidier shrine, and said with a light smile, "See you tomorrow."

Fengshen appeared at the shrine after he had left, walking slowly to the pile of fruits with a little vain footsteps, picked up the red fruit with plain white hands, and tentatively took a bite.

So sweet.

Why would that human being do these things?Obviously, no one believes in him anymore...

He recalled that human's serious expression, it was so beautiful, that look.He swallowed the pulp with difficulty, and murmured, "See you tomorrow..."

When Chu Zhou came again, all the fruits on the ground had disappeared, and there was a small wooden figure made of branches on the leaves.

Looking at that ugly little wooden man crooked, he couldn't help but a smile appeared on his face, and he was a little moved. Would the gods thank others so seriously?

He picked up the little wooden figure, held it in the palm of his hand, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Lord Fengshen."

Suddenly there was a gust of wind, and the leaves rustled, as if responding to him.

Chu Zhou put down a few more fruits, but Fengshen still didn't appear. Although he didn't know why, he still stayed in the shrine for a while and told some things about the village.

Soon, the sky darkened again.

"See you tomorrow."

Chu Zhou left with the little wooden man.

One day, we will see each other.

Two days later, Chu Zhou came to the shrine every day, bringing some different fruits, and what he harvested was the little wooden figurines that were made better and better.

Moreover, Fengshen gradually stopped avoiding him.

From completely disappearing at the beginning to now occasionally bumping into each other, he can faintly feel that the other party is also tentatively meeting him.

Perhaps, this is a god who is afraid of communicating with humans?

On this day, Chu Zhou got up early and decided that he must talk to Fengshen today—Fengshen appeared when he was about to leave yesterday, and stood in the shrine to watch him leave—should be acknowledging his existence.

When he walked out the door, he saw that the villagers had already woken up. All of them gathered together, looking at the big river in the distance from time to time at the entrance of the village, and then immediately looked away, discussing something.

The expressions on people's faces were serious and expectant, excited and a little bit sad, as if they had to do something that had to be done, and a couple of older people had the most troubled expressions.

——Or, among these people, only their faces are really sad, but they have to pretend to be happy.

I don't know if they saw him coming, or they just finished their discussion. As soon as Chu Zhou approached those people, they slowly dispersed, leaving only the village chief standing there.

"Today is a good day." Seeing him approaching, the village chief said suddenly.

"Ah?" Chu Zhou was stunned by this thoughtless sentence, and it took a moment to echo, "Ah, yes."

That's right, today, he should be able to get to know Fengshen.

Seeing that the village chief was only looking at the river, Chu Zhou couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing here just now?"

The village head squinted his eyes and looked at him. Seeing that he really didn't know, he smiled and said, "You will know in the afternoon."

In the afternoon, they will hold that ceremony, using the most pious way to worship the gods who protect them.In this way, when there is heavy rain next year, they will not be washed away by the flood.

"Remember to come back in the afternoon," someone called him from afar, and the village chief hurriedly said something to Chu Zhou before leaving, "Crossing the river is absolutely not allowed."

Chu Zhou waited for him to go far before looking for the kappa. The kappa was floating listlessly on the water. Seeing him coming, he swam over with low interest.

"You...what's the matter?" Chu Zhou was still wondering what the village chief said, but when he saw the Kappa like this, he suppressed his doubts and asked worriedly.

"It's okay," the Kappa shook his head and replied, "Their activities will start soon."

Last time, Chu Zhou thought that this might be the activity of the kappa themselves, so it was inconvenient to ask, but seeing that the kappa has been so unhappy, he asked, "Don't you like those activities?"

"No..." The kappa took him to the other side of the river, with a frustrated expression on his face, "I'm different from them..." After finishing speaking, he buried himself in the water again.

Chu Zhou frowned. Seeing that the Kappa sank into the water and couldn't ask anything, he sighed and walked deep into the forest.

Human beings, after so many years, finally a human being knows that he exists as the wind god.

——Although, he has already fallen into a monster.

Looking at the newly restored shrine in front of me, it is completely different from the abandoned one before.

For hundreds of years, he has been trying his best to maintain the original appearance of the shrine, but the shrine has gradually become dilapidated. Just like him, no human beings know of his existence.Even though he silently guarded this land for hundreds of years.

He sometimes wonders if there is at least one person who knows that there is such a monster who was once a god guarding them?

Presumably not.

If he had a little faith, he wouldn't always be a monster.

But now, there is a human being who can clean the shrine, call Lord Fengshen every day, and send him some fruits...

Before he was a god, he had never been so close to a human being.

Gradually approaching like this, he seemed to have some other thoughts uncontrollably.

Want to be closer to each other, want to listen to each other, want to stand with each other...

This human being was the first human being he wanted to get close to.

When Chu Zhou walked to the shrine, he saw Fengshen standing at the door with fluttering clothes, and the golden dragon behind him seemed to be a little more docile, dancing around behind him.The exposed golden eyes were shining softly, looking at him intently.

He paused, walked over, and got closer, facing the half gentle face, his tone unconsciously became a little nervous, "...Master Fengshen?"

The other party laughed, his light blue long hair swaying gently, wisps of breeze blowing towards his face, his voice was gentler than he had ever heard before.

"My name is Yimulian."
