Chapter 1734: Cloud Pushing Cave
A statue of a fox was dug out of the snow. It was erected about half a person's height. It was made of stone, and it was not just any ordinary stone.
Fragments of jade can be seen on the stones that make up the statue. This statue may have been a piece of raw jade.
It is very rare to use this thing to make a statue, and judging from the size of the statue, you should be able to get a lot of good jade.
Generally, the statues in temples are actually made of clay, covered with a layer of paint, and made directly from jade ore. Either a large amount of jade is produced here, or the object itself is very important.
But the carving was a fox.
"Don't look at me, I'm just a vixen."
"This should be an earth god, and the temple should also be an earth temple."
Li Chengqi said:
"When I came here, even when I encountered the Leaf Gate, there was a yellow leather child enshrined in the Earth Temple. It is not surprising that a fox is enshrined here."
The difference between an earth god and a monster is huge.
Land gods generally only have the shape of animals, not mutated animals like monsters. In addition, land gods are still "gods" after all, while monsters are spirits, so there is an essential difference.
For example, the land gods and river gods that Yang Yiyi and the others encountered when they went to southern Xinjiang were related to the land and rivers they controlled. They could never leave the place where they were born and raised, but monsters did not have these restrictions.
Yang Yiyi looked up and down the fox statue:
"What's the use?"
"It's useful. There is still some divine power left in this thing."
In fact, it is not a real divine power, it should be said to be the power of faith.
God converts mortal faith into divine power for his own use, and what remains on the statue is 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 weather. If an evil creature comes, he will fight it for 300 rounds.
Basically, the earth god died because he wanted to protect the land that gave birth to him.
The power that supports the Earth God comes from the incense of mortals. The more prosperous the incense is and the more respect it has from mortals, the stronger the Earth God will be, and vice versa.
Let’s take the example of the land god that Yang Yiyi met. The snow owl earth god had no magical powers other than speaking. The main reason was that he didn’t have much incense.
On the contrary, the river god they met before entering southern Xinjiang was able to use magic to lure Yang Yiyi and the others to the river. He also gave them three scales that had the effect of repelling water, because the river god was often worshiped by people.
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 Earth God should have dissipated long ago, but it still retains a little bit.
This also shows from the side that the incense here was at its peak back then.
"Don't move. You all step back a little. I'll see if I can get the Earth God out."
Divine power is transformed by the power of faith. It is a purer power, and it should be possible to recharge it.
According to what Li Chengqi said, everyone except Yang Yiyi stepped back a little, and then Li Chengqi reached into the screen.
A striking blue light flew from Yang Yiyi to the statue, and then the golden light burst out, making people unable to open their eyes and covered their eyes with their hands.
The vixen and capybara almost knelt down when they saw this. The monster's perception is much stronger than that of humans. Even with just a little bit of insignificant divine power, they can still feel the terrifying divine power.
After a while, everyone felt the light decrease and opened their eyes to take a look.
I saw that the fox statue seemed to be cracked, and countless dense cracks appeared on the surface, and then fell off.
An emerald fox emerged from inside, shook the remaining stone powder on its body, and looked up at everyone.
Although the appearance of the fox is very cute, the eyes of this fox are as aged as an old man, and there is a sense of seeing through the world.
It didn't speak, and I don't know if it couldn't. The jade fox lowered its front paws, as if bowing its head to Yang Yiyi or Li Chengqi.
"Are you the land here?"
Hearing Li Chengqi's words, Jade Fox nodded in agreement.
"What happened here?"
Sadness flashed across the eyes of the jade fox, and his paws were gesturing back and forth, but he really couldn't understand.
"Is there a place called Poyun Cave here?"
This time the Jade Fox nodded sharply, then jumped out of the Earth Temple, swishing its tail, as if to say follow me.
"Follow, be careful, there are too many weird things in this place."
According to Leilei, the land god has no bad intentions. If the land god kills, he will disappear. Therefore, in the eyes of the monks, the land god is more trustworthy than humans.

For Qin Yan, everything that has happened recently has challenged her outlook. In other words, ever since she met Yang Yiyi, she has often encountered things beyond common sense.
First, Li Chengqi appeared on the way to southern Xinjiang. Later, he saw witchcraft and nine phoenixes in southern Xinjiang. Now he saw monsters and earth gods. These things obviously only existed in legends, but they were right next to him. It feels very unreal.
Even Ning Xianer couldn't get used to it. After all, Father Ying always avoided people when he went to Tianjue Palace.
On the other hand, for Yang Yiyi, it was natural.
From the moment she fished the Qingtian Book out of the spring, no matter how weird things happened, she took it for granted.
——Maybe I’m too straightforward and don’t think too much.
Following a fox whose whole body was made of jade and sparkling, and two monsters following behind him, this scene looked weird.
Although the earth god regained his ability to move with the support of Li Chengqi's divine power, he was already in a state of exhaustion. Now he can move. It is purely because of Li Chengqi's divine power that he has acted like the medicine of tiger and wolf, allowing him to temporarily return to his glory. .
It is hard to say how long this earth god can remain active. It is useless for Li Chengqi to inject divine power into it.
Fortunately, the God of the Earth is indeed the God of the Earth, and he knows his own territory very well.
It led Yang Yiyi and the others back for a while, and then seemed to go around a certain mountain wall, leading Yang Yiyi and the others up from the much gentler place on the other side.
In this dark environment, if you don't have someone familiar with the environment, you really can't find it.
Arriving halfway up the mountain, the fox began to take the path that clung to the mountain wall again, the kind that a person could barely move by turning sideways.
Others said it was fine in the past, but the two monsters spent a lot of effort and climbed up without any danger.
When it was around two o'clock in the morning on Li Chengqi's side, Jade Fox led Yang Yiyi and the others to a cliff on the mountain wall.
This is a hillside that is slightly raised on the mountain wall. From below, it is almost integrated with the mountain wall. When everyone came up, the Jade Fox pointed to the mountain wall on the other side of the cliff.
Yang Yiyi turned around and looked around. There were only rocks as smooth as mirrors, no caves.
For a moment, everyone thought they had been fooled by the Jade Fox, but Li Chengqi said:
"It's a blinding trick. There is an illusion blocking the way. If you reach out and touch it, you can touch the cave."
Qin Yan reached out her hand and touched it twice suspiciously. One of her hands suddenly fell into the mountain wall, which shocked her.
