Incense Has Its Owner

At the end of the Dayu Dynasty, the Earth Temple of the Mountain God had been abandoned for many years. The immortal gate took over the spiritual veins, the government took over the temple property, and the evil spirits wore the gods' skins and received incense. When Xu Guanchen woke up, he became the last temple blessing in Qingcang Mountain Temple. The ruined temple is leaking, the incense burner is cracked, the statue of the god is headless, and the coffin of the old temple's Zhuchen Banmiao is still parked in the side hall. The county clerk came to the door with documents to collect the temple property, but the villagers at the foot of the mountain brought the corpse of a child, saying that the child heard the mountain god calling the door last night and died in Laosonggou this morning, with food still on his lips. Xu Guanchen lit the last three sticks of incense in the temple. The cigarette did not rise towards the statue, but got into the nostrils of the child corpse. Under the shrine, an old book was opened. This fragrance has its owner. From this day on, Xu Guanchen guarded the ruined temple, repaired incense burners, inquired about the souls of the dead, examined false gods, seized temple property, and established mountain regulations. When he accepts incense, he also checks the price behind the incense; when he protects the mountain people, he also remembers the people he failed to protect. Ordinary people burn incense to seek wealth, children, recovery from illness, and the death of enemies. Immortal sects refine incense into wish elixirs, the government writes temple properties into tax rolls, and evil spirits deceive people into sacrificing their lives with efficacious wishes. Xu Guanchen only established one temple rule: Those who receive incense must protect one person. Later, there was a new tiger in Qingcang Mountain, a righteous god in the mountains and rivers of the state, and a new place for the incense in the world.
