But the little girl at this time could not escape.
She lay limply on the rattan sedan chair, her expression horrified, her limbs stiff and her eyes closed.
If he hadn't heard the little girl's heartbeat continued, Lu Heng would have thought that the little girl was scared to death by him.
Hey... what kind of evil do you say this is made of
Although he was not a handsome guy in his previous life, he was not ugly enough to make children cry.
It's a good life in this life, he actually scared the little girl into fainting and incontinence on the spot, making him look like a monster who does all kinds of evil.
Um? Wait... Monsters
Lu Heng stood beside the rattan sedan chair, pacing and thinking, flipping through the vague and incomplete memories of the giant wolf again.
After the wolf monster was crushed by the thunder, its soul completely dissipated. Lu Heng only inherited some memory fragments after passing through. He can only infer the wolf monster's general experience of monster birth based on these fragmented information, but he cannot know each specific memory. thing.
But now, after carefully reading through these memory fragments, he found some useful information.
It seems that not long ago, the wolf demon informed the villagers at the foot of the mountain what sacrifices to offer it.
The sacrifice was related to the cultivation of the wolf demon. Although Lu Heng couldn't recall the specific requirements for the sacrifice, it should not be the right way to practice.
Looking at the girl who was bound and sent by Wu Hua Da, and the strange behavior of the group of villagers, Lu Heng immediately thought of a legend—Giving a virgin to a monster
Depend on!
That wolf demon has been a mountain god here for 80 years, but because of the stagnation of cultivation, he asked the villagers to worship it as a virgin? This is the cultivation route that only true demons and monsters take.
After being a mountain god for decades, the result is this
No wonder he was hit by the thunder of the sky, he really deserved to die.
Inside the mountain temple, after Lu Heng figured out everything, he looked down at the little girl in front of him again.
The girl was wearing a slightly loose wedding dress, and even in a coma, she was still curled up and felt very insecure.
How can I not frighten her out again
After thinking about it, Lu Heng jumped directly onto the altar and merged into the clay statue.
Then he blew a breeze, and after the breeze fell on the girl's face, the little girl who had closed her eyes and frowned, gradually softened her expression.
After a while, the girl slowly opened her eyes, and after seeing the mountain temple in front of her slightly dazedly, she suddenly remembered the terrifying scene she saw before she fainted.
"save-?!"
The moment the girl opened her mouth in horror, she suddenly found herself able to speak.
She hurriedly lowered her head, only to realize that the rope on her body had been untied and was no longer tied.
In this empty mountain temple, although it still looks strange and dark, the huge white wolf can no longer be seen.
In the empty and deserted mountain temple, there was only a girl alive. She shrank her neck nervously, and looked at everything around her in panic and uneasiness, not knowing what was going on.
Could it be that the white wolf she saw before she fell unconscious was her illusion? Otherwise why hasn't she been eaten yet
Also, who helped her untie the rope on her body
The girl hurried to the door and looked out the door.
It was still pouring rain outside the house. It was impossible to travel on such a rainy day, and there were no kind people outside.
She could only turn around again, nervously looking at the white wolf clay sculpture on the altar, shrinking her neck.
Could it be... Could it be Lord Mountain God who helped her untie the rope
The girl thought in panic and uneasiness, carefully looked at the white wolf clay sculpture on the altar, and felt that the clay sculpture of the white wolf was a little different.
It was an ordinary clay sculpture as before, and there was no change, but the little girl vaguely felt that the clay sculpture seemed to come alive, and the eyes of the clay sculpture seemed to be looking at her...
The girl called out cautiously, "Shan... Lord Mountain God?"
This low calling sound is weak and the mosquito chirping, if you are far away, you can't hear it at all.
But the clay sculpture on the altar suddenly moved, and the clay sculpture white wolf let out a low laugh.
"You actually called me...Aren't you afraid of me?"
The moment the clay statue spoke, the girl was so frightened that she stepped back several steps, and her expression became horrified again.
But maybe the clay statue didn't look as scary as the giant wolf before, or maybe the low laughter of the mountain god didn't sound ferocious, so the girl didn't faint from fright this time.
Although still terrified, the girl immediately knelt down and kowtowed desperately.
"Lord Mountain God! Please don't eat me! Please don't eat me!"
The girl desperately begged for mercy, and she couldn't think of more begging words at a young age, so she could only keep repeating such a sentence.
And the clay statue on the altar made a sound again.
"Okay, don't kneel, I won't eat you. I'm a mountain god, not a monster, how can I eat people?"
The clay statue said such words, making the little girl a little dazed.
Lord Mountain God doesn't eat people? Then why did the village offer virgins to the mountain gods...
The girl looked blank, but Lu Heng didn't plan to explain.
Although he transmigrated into the body of the monster, but the soul is a human being, how could it be possible to do such a thing as cannibalism
Seeing that the little girl's mood had recovered, Lu Heng jumped out of the clay statue.
The moment the huge white wolf appeared in the mountain temple, the girl was frightened and trembled - the impact of this huge monster on mortals was too great.
But this time the little girl was not frightened and fainted. Although she was trembling with fear, she forced herself to kneel there, for fear that she would annoy the mountain god in front of her.
Outside, the rainstorm gradually stopped.
Lu Heng looked down at the little girl in front of him and asked, "What's your name?"
"Little... Xiao Ai, the mugwort of wormwood."
"Xiao Ai... I see," Lu Heng nodded, spit out a wooden sign from his mouth, and said, "You can go back. After you go back, tell the people in the village that I don't need you to sacrifice to me anymore. Boys and girls."
"This wooden plaque is my mountain god's order, which can take you out of Hanyu Mountain and back to the village."
"And you are walking in the mountains with this wooden sign. All the beasts in the Hanyu Mountain dare not hurt you. You can go back now, it will be dark after a long delay."
Lu Heng looked at the sky outside the house. Although the rainstorm had stopped, the mountain road was muddy, and it would take a long time for the little girl to go back alone.
If it is delayed for a long time, the mountain road after dark is not easy to walk.
Of course, the quickest way at this time is actually for Lu Heng to send the girl back in person.
With the power of the mountain god, he can walk in this Hanyu Mountain, or even escape directly, and it will not be long before he can walk out of the deep mountain.
It's just that Lu Heng still has a strong power of thunder still remaining in his body, and he is still seriously injured. Before dissolving the power of thunder in the body, he could not leave the mountain temple at all, and he needed to rely on the incense and vows accumulated in the temple to suppress the thunder in his body.
Anyway, with his Mountain God's Order, this little girl can walk out of Hanyu Mountain by herself.
After sending the girl away with the mountain god decree, Lu Heng went underground again and continued to practice, trying to dissolve the power of thunder in his body as soon as possible and restore the ability to move freely.
The days of cultivating in the ground every day are not very wonderful.
Chapter 3 Monkeys
And the girl named Xiao Ai felt a little cold touch after taking the palm-sized wooden sign.
The wooden sign is wrapped around a silver thread and can be hung around the neck.
She tugged gently and found that the silver thread was very tough and could not be pulled at all.
Raising her head, the girl looked at the white giant wolf in front of her, and heard the low voice of Lord Mountain God again.
"Okay, let's go and go back to your family."
Although the voice was still low and serious, and there seemed to be echoes faintly, the girl was no longer so afraid.
She knelt down sensible and kowtowed vigorously.
"Thank you, Lord Mountain God!"
The torrential rain outside the house has stopped at this time, but the road in the mountain is still muddy and difficult to navigate.
The little red embroidered shoes the girl was wearing didn't go far before they were stained with mud and water, and even the skirt of the big red wedding dress was dirty.
But she was happy.
She originally thought that she was going to die or would be eaten by Lord Shanshen, but she did not expect that Lord Shanshen would not only not eat her, but also let her go home. This was a happy ending that she could not imagine.
After walking a distance, the girl looked back in the direction of the mountain temple.
Under the gloomy sky, the mountain temple surrounded by dense forest was slightly gloomy, and the white wolf in the temple had disappeared.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have imagined that there would be such a big wolf in this mountain.
Is this the mountain god that everyone fears and fears... It doesn't seem to be the same as what the village elders said.
The girl was a little confused.
Growing up in Shuisheng Village since childhood, the legends she heard about mountain gods were all rumors that mountain gods were powerful, terrifying, and even cannibalized.
But after seeing the real Mountain God in person, she found that although the Mountain God is indeed majestic and looks scary, she is not at all cruel and terrifying as rumored.
There are even some... kind
The girl quickly shook her head and threw the idea out of her mind.
How can the mountain god be said to be kind? Such a majestic and powerful mountain god, she should be in awe.
Thinking like this, the girl clenched the wooden sign in her hand again.
I don't know what material this small wooden sign is made of, the tentacles are cold, and when I hold it, I feel light and airy. She should have been very tired after walking so far on the muddy mountain road.
But now I don't feel tired and still walk lightly.
And holding this wooden sign, she actually knew in her heart which direction to go to get back to the village - she had never been to the mountain temple before, and she didn't know the path in the mountain at all.
In the sky, the light gradually became gloomy and dim.
It wasn't a sign of heavy rain coming, but it was getting late and dark.
The girl who noticed the change in the sky was a little anxious. If she couldn't get out of the mountain before dark, after dark, she didn't bring a lantern and torch, and she couldn't walk on the dark mountain road at all.
Although Hanyu Mountain is not a famous mountain or river, it also has cliffs.
If she is unfamiliar with the path, if she walks in the dark and accidentally falls off the cliff, she will die.
The sign given by Lord Mountain God can only protect her from being eaten by beasts, but it doesn't say that it can protect her from falling to her death.
Thinking of this, the girl walked even faster.
The hem of her skirt was already covered with dry mud, and the mud solidified on the hem of the skirt, making the skirt extremely heavy. And after walking in the mountains for so long, she gradually started to get hungry.
Gollum—
The grunting sound in the stomach was extremely harsh in the deserted mountain forest.
The hungry girl walked for a long time on the muddy mountain road, and finally couldn't hold it anymore and sat on a rock to rest.
In the dimming mountain forest, the girl clutched her hungry and colic stomach, her eyes full of tears.
so hungry... so hungry...
She can't move anymore.
Although she won't get tired walking in the mountains with the mountain god's order in hand, she is so hungry that her feet are weak.
The girl sitting on the rock covered her stomach, looked at the increasingly dim sky with tears in her eyes, and murmured, "I'm so hungry..."
She didn't know how long she had to go, but she really couldn't.
If only there was something to eat now, the girl thought to herself.
But growing up in a mountain village since childhood, she also understands that no fruits and vegetables are ripe at this time of year, and there is no wild fruit that can be eaten in the mountains and forests.
… She had thought so.
But something suddenly fell on top of her head, causing her head to hurt a little.
The girl picked it up and looked at it, stunned... Walnut? Why are there walnuts here
She raised her head, only to find a dozen monkeys squatting on the tree above her head.
When these monkeys appeared, they all stood on the branches and looked down at her, as if they were watching something fun.
