This time, everyone shook their heads and started talking at a high pace.
"No, that woman came from outside."
"It was picked up by Ai Changsheng at first, and then he lived in the village..."
"Had a lung disease two years ago and died..."
"Young people, do evil..."
The villagers' chatter made Gongshu Jie roughly outline the image of a woman in distress.
Educated, should have a decent background, but has a natural birthmark on his face and looks ugly. For some unknown reason, she wandered into this remote mountain, almost frozen to death in the snow, and was picked up by a kind-hearted young man from the mountain village. After that, she married the young man who saved her and settled down here.
But she died of illness two years ago, and the young man who rescued her disappeared three years ago. The husband and wife left only one daughter, and now the daughter lives with the young man's elder brother's family.
After understanding the cause and effect in his heart, Uncle Jie stopped the conversation and asked the old village chief to dismiss the villagers gathered at the entrance of the village. In the end, there were only a few clan elders in the village, and the village chief's heirs.
The old village chief looked at Master Wu Zhu, and after hesitating again and again, he asked cautiously.
"Master Wu Zhu, have you found the Demon Seed?" The old village chief did not forget this matter.
Although the white wolves in the mountains are the most afraid, they are also afraid of the demons mentioned by the black-robed witch. The old village chief was really worried that Master Wu Zhu would forget about the Demon Seed because of the White Wolf God.
However, Uncle Jie obviously did not forget this matter. He looked at Hanyu Mountain in the distance and said.
"The devil is either hidden deep enough that it has integrated into the soul of the possessed person, and the devilish energy is not visible. Or I have lost it, and it is not here at all."
"In short, I will stay here for a while. I won't leave until I confirm that the Demon Seed is not there, you don't have to worry about it."
"The only thing to remember is that in the future, you are not allowed to slander the white wolf god in the mountains. The wolf god is broad-minded and doesn't care about you, but you can't do it knowingly, understand!"
Gongshu Jie's words were very severe, and the clan elders nodded again and again in fright, "I'll understand, I'll understand."
Uncle Jie nodded in satisfaction and walked out of the village.
"Okay, you guys are gone too. Do whatever you need to do. With me here, that devil can't turn the sky."
After speaking, Gongshu Jie disappeared from the sight of the villagers, and did not give the village elders a chance to get close.
Several old people looked at each other, and someone asked, "What should I do next..."
The old village chief paused the cane in his hand with a serious expression, "Of course I listened to Master Wu Zhu! It is forbidden for the villagers to spread rumors and slander Lord Wolf God."
"Also, the Double Ninth Festival is coming soon. I have to prepare carefully for this harvest sacrifice. I must not be fooled like before."
"The wolf god is not a monster, so I should sincerely worship it. Go back and tell everyone that from today onwards, every household should give incense to the wolf god every day, and we must not neglect it!"
Chapter 19 The Great Deed
For the next few days, Gongshu Jie stayed near Shuisheng Village in pursuit of the Demon Seed.
But he did not live in the village, nor did he have contact with the villagers.
During the day, he roamed outside the village and in the mountains, using his feet to walk every inch of the land inside and outside the Shuisheng Village, looking for every place where there might be residual demonic energy.
At night, find a clean place to sit down, close your eyes, and drink dew.
As a witch, he has long stopped eating human fireworks and does not need to eat or drink water.
As for the ugly widow who died two years ago, although he was curious, the Huotong Kingdom believed in the god of fire and worshipped cremation.
Apart from knowing that the ugly widow's surname was Mu, he couldn't ask for any more useful information.
He also visited the mountain temple in the deep mountains twice, and indeed saw the lettering left when the mountain temple was built under the altar.
However, during his two visits, he failed to see the white wolf again. The divine beast seems to be still cultivating, only the huge vortex cloud over Hanyu Mountain is slowly circling, and it seems to be getting bigger and bigger.
The villagers are busy. The Double Ninth Festival is approaching, which is the season for harvest sacrifices.
Not only do they have to harvest the crops in the fields, they also need to prepare sacrifices for the wolf god. Because of the order from the village chief, this year's sacrifices can no longer be as casual as in previous years, and require sincerity, so the villagers are much busier than in previous years.
And Uncle Jie's stay here has almost reached the limit.
As a witch in a city, in charge of the fire god incense sacrifice, in major festivals such as the Nine-Nine Double Ninth Festival, he must rush back to Qianzhen City to preside over this year's harvest sacrifice.
As for the Demon Seed, after cruising in the past few days, Uncle Jie has confirmed that the Demon Seed is not here. The reason why he didn't leave was because he wanted to see Lu Heng before he left.
But the cold feather mountain was always calm, the wolf god did not leave the customs, and Gongshu Jie could only sigh about this.
However, on September 5th, a flock of birds suddenly flew in the Hanyu Mountain, and a long howl of a wolf came from afar. In the sky, vortex clouds were surging and thunder light was mighty. Although there was no thunder, it seemed that Lu Heng's exit, and even the robbery clouds in the sky were happy.
"Huh... I finally figured it out."
After emerging from the ground, Lu Heng returned to the ground again. The down-to-earth feeling made him feel happy.
However, after leaving the customs, Lu Heng suddenly discovered a strange thing.
"Huh? Why has the power of incense in this mountain temple suddenly increased?"
Lu Heng, who was aware of this, couldn't understand it.
When he repaired the demon body before, the wolf demon's 80 years of incense and wishing power were almost consumed by him. The rest of the incense and wishing power were all given to the girl named Xiao Ai.
Logically speaking, there should be no incense in the temple temple.
The agreement between the wolf demon and the villagers is to ask the villagers to worship a stick of incense to the wolf demon clay sculpture at home according to the number of the twelve earthly branches, that is, every 12 days. Now it's not the next time to worship incense, and it stands to reason that there will be no incense in the temple.
But after Lu Heng sensed it a little, he found that not only the incense and wishing power had been accumulated in the mountain temple, but there were even a lot of them! It is almost equal to the amount collected by the wolf demon in the past six months.
Lu Heng was a little stunned. After careful sensing, he found that all the incense and wishing power came from the aquatic village at the foot of the mountain.
He was even more startled.
What happened to these villagers? Why did he suddenly become so religious
Back then, the wolf demon coerced and lured, using various methods frequently, and used the power of the mountain god to protect the crops of the Shuisheng Village for 80 years, and could only get a little incense.
Now that Lu Heng has done nothing, why did this group of villagers suddenly become devout? Could it be that some disaster happened in the village, and this group of villagers went to the doctor in a hurry and wanted to ask Lu Heng for protection
But Lu Heng checked these incense wishes, but found that these incense wishes did not contain that kind of strong wish.
This group of villagers is simply worshipping him.
That's a strange situation.
Lu Heng thought about it carefully, and felt that this matter was probably related to the black-robed Wu Zhu Gongshu Jie.
While cultivating underground, Lu Heng also felt that Uncle Jie had entered the mountain twice. It's just that Lu Heng didn't want to meet this Wu Zhu again, lest the other party see out his pretentious nature, so he never showed up.
Now that five days have passed, the Double Ninth Festival is approaching. In this world, the Double Ninth Festival is a major festival for harvest sacrifices, almost as important as the New Year's Eve Spring Festival.
As a witch of a city, the uncle Jie must have rushed back to Qianzhen City to preside over the sacrifice. Even if Lu Heng was confused, it was impossible for him to check with him again... uh...
Faintly, Lu Heng suddenly felt a hot breath coming from outside the mountain and was rapidly approaching here.
Immediately afterwards, Uncle Jie's clear voice echoed in the mountains.
"Welcome to God's exit."
Not long after, a figure in black robe came from outside the mountain to ride the wind and landed in front of the mountain temple.
The black-robed Wuzhu smiled and saluted, "Uncle Jie has seen God."
"..." The huge white wolf looked at him speechlessly, and was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Isn't Uncle Wu Zhu still back in Thousand Needles City? The Double Ninth Festival is coming soon. "
Gongshu Jie smiled and said, "Actually, I'm going to go back today, but I didn't expect to meet the gods just before leaving. It seems that my fate with the gods is not over."
Lu Heng looked at him wordlessly and asked, "With Wu Zhu's foot strength, how many days will it take to get to Thousand Needles City from here?"
"Six days," Gongshu Jie stood up straight and said, "But if you travel in the wind day and night, you can arrive in three days."
… well, you guys are so persistent.
Lu Heng shook his head helplessly and said, "Uncle Wu Zhu has been waiting for me for so long, but he has something to ask? Have you found the absconding Demon Seed?"
"The Demon Seed has not been found, but I have already checked inside and outside the Shuisheng Village to confirm that the Demon Seed is not here," said Gongshu Jie, "but that Demon Seed is unpredictable, maybe there is some kind of secret technique that I don't know about. If God has free time, he can also pay attention.”
"Okay, this is a hands-on effort, I will pay attention," Lu Heng looked at the uncle Jie in front of him, thought for a moment, and said, "The temple is poor, there is no tea to entertain, no tables, chairs and benches... Well, I am in the mountains. There is a group of monkeys that can make fruit wine. If Uncle Wu Zhu doesn’t dislike it, I can let them bring the wine.”
Gongshu Jie smiled, "I have heard the name of monkey wine, but I have never tasted it. Now it is a good thing."
"Okay, then I'll leave here."
Lu Heng tapped the ground lightly with his front paws, used the power of the mountain god to pass the order to the monkey group in the mountain, and then turned around and walked to the top of the main peak behind the mountain temple.
Lu Heng took a step forward, shrinking into an inch, and he and Uncle Jie appeared in the forest dozens of feet away. Another step was taken, and the surrounding scenery changed again. One person and one wolf were already standing on the top of the main peak of Hanyu Mountain.
Lu Heng stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the mountains and rivers under his feet, and said.
"Although there are no pavilions, pavilions, stone tables and chairs here, but the view is wide, you can overlook the inside and outside of Hanyu Mountain, and you can see the small mountains. Please wait for a while, and the monkey wine will arrive later."
Gongshu Jie stood on the top of the mountains, with his feet on the bluestone, the mountain wind blew his face, and smiled and stroked his palms, "Da Shan."
He sat on the ground and looked at the huge white wolf in front of him, and felt more and more that this divine beast was indeed extraordinary, and it was significantly different from the ferocious and brutal beasts in the legend.
The existence of this divine beast in Huotong might be a good thing.
Chapter 20 The Lord of the Tribulation
The huge thunder and lightning vortex cloud is still suspended in the sky and slowly rotating.
In the vortex cloud, there are lightning flashes from time to time, but there is no thunderous roar, and there is no real thunder. It seems to be just an ordinary rain cloud.
But under this thunder calamity, even a Shinto witch like Gongshu Jie felt a little pressure. If it was an ordinary evil spirit, I'm afraid it would have been shivering and unable to move.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help sighing, looking at the mountains and rivers under his feet again, filled with emotion.
The Hanyu Mountains are remote and inaccessible. Except for the aquatic village outside the mountain, there is no one in the vicinity. The mountain range is also mediocre, not a famous mountain or river.
But with the presence of this wolf god in the mountains, a small Hanyu Mountain is instantly magical.
But this time, Uncle Jie didn't come to test the details, but simply wanted to make friends with this extraordinary ancient beast, so there was no more pressure, and his mentality was much calmer.
Sitting on the top of the mountains, he smiled and talked with the white wolf god beside him, talking about some interesting things about the fire in the country, and talking about all the disasters he had experienced in the past, the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Soon, the monkeys in the mountains brought the fruit wine they brewed.
Not many, only two gourds, Lu Heng and Uncle Jie each divided it.
"This group of monkeys under the gods is quite clever, and it feels smarter than ordinary monkeys," Gongshu Jie sighed after taking a sip of monkey wine, "This monkey wine is really delicious."
In front of him, the huge white wolf tapped the gourd lightly with its front paws, and the stopper of the gourd automatically opened. Then, a stream of liquor flew out of the gourd and entered the big mouth of the white wolf.
Lu Heng nodded and said, "It tastes really good."
Although Lu Heng is not good at drinking, nor does he like drinking. But the monkey wine brewed by Baiguo is different from ordinary wine. The sweetness of the fruit overwhelms the pungency of the wine. After drinking it, it still feels a little sweet. Even Lu Heng, who doesn't like drinking, thinks it is good.
However, the scene of his use of magic power to control the drinking water made Uncle Jie's eyes shine.
Mana Royal Object, this is not something to be surprised by. What surprised Uncle Jie was that what Lu Heng Yujiu used was not mana, but the power of lightning.
This means that the foundation of cultivation in this White Wolf God is not mana at all, but lightning! Not only can he control thunder and lightning, but he is even the power of thunder!
This ancient beast is indeed extraordinary.
Uncle Jie's heart was shocked, and he only felt that he had opened his eyes today. In the past, he had only heard that the legendary divine beasts were all extraordinary, but no one could elaborate on what the extraordinary beasts were, but today he experienced it personally.
Controlling Tianlei itself is already very scary, but even the body is filled with the surging power of Tianlei, and the foundation of enlightenment is Tianlei. In essence, it is completely different from the mundane thing that refines spiritual energy into mana like him.
It's just the difference between clouds and mud!
Uncle Jie was in awe, and couldn't help but sigh, "The power of the thunder is so fierce, I'm afraid this Hanyu Mountain is going to become a forbidden area for evil spirits. If the vortex clouds in the sky do not disperse, no monsters dare to approach without authorization... hey... The only pity is the vortex. The clouds are deep, blocking the sky, and it seems that the mountain is a little gloomy."
Uncle Jie's words were a subconscious emotion after he was amazed.
However, after speaking, he regretted it and realized that what he said was inappropriate.
Isn't such words mocking the gloom and gloom of Han Yushan? Why can't I control my mouth!
Uncle Jie felt a little regretful, but after finally getting to know this God Lu Heng, the atmosphere was so harmonious. As a result, I opened my mouth to talk nonsense again, which ruined the atmosphere... This... hey... Why can't I control this shit
Uncle Jie was extremely regretful.
However, Lu Heng was not angry, nor did he feel offended. He looked up at the huge swirling cloud above his head, and at the dimly lit mountains under the cloud, he couldn't help but nod his head.
"Indeed, this vortex cloud obscures the sky, and it does make the mountain look gloomy. There are guests here, and it is my rudeness to let the dark clouds cover the sky and not see the sky... Please wait a moment."
After speaking, Lu Heng closed his eyes slightly and felt it in his heart. As the power of the thunder in Lu Heng's body surged, the huge vortex cloud spinning in the sky also seemed to be affected. Immediately afterwards, the dark clouds revolved and surging continuously, and thunder flashed in the clouds.
Finally, in the middle of the vortex cloud, the black cloud slowly spread out, revealing a gap, revealing the blue sky above the clouds. The dazzling sunlight came in through the gap in the center of the vortex cloud, just fell on the peak of Hanyu Mountain, and fell on Lu Heng and Uncle Jie.
The main peak of Hanyu Mountain, which was originally gloomy, was instantly sunny and the sun was shining.
Only then did Lu Heng open his eyes and said with a smile, "That's the way to entertain guests."
