Lu Heng became worried. If it didn't rain all the time, wouldn't the grass on this mountain wither and die
Looks like I'll have to figure out a way to make some changes...
Thinking like this, Lu Heng continued to walk forward.
Although there is no rain or snow in the mountains, it is very troublesome, but now there are more troublesome things that need to be dealt with by Lu Heng.
Walking forward along the bluestone trail, Lu Heng came to the top of the stone steps leading down the mountain.
The girl named Xiao Ai was sitting on the steps at this time, holding a broom in her arms, holding her cheeks in her hands, staring blankly at the heavy snow outside the mountain, wondering what she was thinking.
Under the gloomy sky, the girl who was sitting on the stone steps in a daze, with a thin body, withered yellow leaves falling behind her, had a bleak atmosphere.
Lu Heng walked up to her and asked with a smile, "Xiao Ai, why didn't you urge that monkey head to practice today?"
The girl quickly came back to her senses, "Lord Wolf God."
She said happily, "Are you out?"
"Well, we're out of customs," Lu Heng walked to the girl, sat side by side with the girl at the top of the bluestone stairs, looked at the flying snow outside the mountain, and said, "Why are you so leisurely today? At this time in the past, you Shouldn't you be teaching that naughty monkey head a lesson?"
With that said, Lu Heng glanced at the girl beside him and said with a smile, "In the past, at this time in the mountains, it was really windy and the sky was high and the monkeys were screaming. Why doesn't the monkey bark and disappear today? You gave it a holiday?"
Lu Heng's teasing made the little girl blushed and a little embarrassed.
"Lord Wolf God..." the little girl shouted in embarrassment.
Lu Heng laughed for a while, and then said, "Okay, I won't make fun of you. Come on, is there anything you're worried about? I think you've been sitting here for a long time, because the monkey head is too naughty, Do you think you can't teach anymore?"
The little girl hesitated for a while, and then said loudly, "Lord Wolf God, you... Do you think it's right for me to force him to practice?"
Lu Heng looked at her with a half-smile, and asked, "What do you think?"
The little girl let out a long sigh, her face wrinkled, "I don't know..."
She stared blankly at the flying snow outside the mountain, her expression very distressed, "It is a wild monkey in the mountains, playing with the monkeys in the mountains every day, happy and happy, without any worries. Although its lifespan is short, but But carefree.”
"I want to lead it to practice and teach it the method of demon cultivation. Although it is willing to learn, its mind is obviously not above cultivation. Compared with cultivation, it is more willing to play with its monkeys."
"I forced it to do asceticism with me. Although it didn't complain, it wasn't happy either. But if I gave up, I felt that I, who gave up halfway through teaching, didn't do my duty... I..."
The little girl looked at the Wolf God helplessly and asked softly, "Lord Wolf God, what should I do?"
The little girl who has always been strong, now has a rare weak expression. In the bleak cold wind, it seems so weak and helpless.
It's just that although her weak and helpless appearance is lovable, Lu Heng really wanted to laugh when he saw it.
This little girl, at a young age, already has the troubles that only parents can have...
Is this the reason why this little girl let the monkey into the mountain to play today? She is confused whether she should continue to force Bai Yuan to practice
Lu Heng thought for a while and said, "Xiao Ai, do you know the reason why there are so many living beings in the world, but there are few who can become refined forms?"
The little girl was startled and shook her head, wondering why Lord Wolf God asked this question.
Lu Heng looked at the snow-capped land outside the mountain and said, "The monsters in the mountains are different from humans. Humans are born with the five elements, and they can set foot on the path of cultivation at any time. As long as the predestined dharma arrives, you can also cultivate your own body and rejuvenate your youth.”
"But the spirits in the mountains are different. Most of the spirits have no one to teach them, and they know how to practice. Therefore, the spirits in the wilderness rely on their natural instincts for their initial practice."
"All things in the world, when they are born from the mother's womb, there will be a mouthful of innate essence in their body. This innate essence can be strong or weak, and the weak is not enough."
"But for those with strong innate energy, the innate energy in the body will unconsciously guide the spiritual energy into the body. Therefore, the initial cultivation of the monsters in the wilderness relies on this innate energy."
"When the spiritual energy accumulated in the body gradually increases, they will open up their spiritual wisdom, become more intelligent, and begin to consciously use the innate vitality in their bodies to cultivate, and gradually they will be separated from ordinary beasts."
"So before it can be transformed into a human being, this innate vitality is the most important foundation for a demon cultivator to become enlightened. If it is broken and damaged, one's cultivation will be lost."
"The monkey head is the monkey king in the mountains, and the female monkeys in the monkey group have long since lost the essence of Yuanyang. If there is no one to teach them, they will never be able to set foot on the path of demon cultivation."
"Even if you are willing to teach and guide it the method of demon cultivation, but without that mouthful of Yuanyang essence as the foundation, its cultivation before transforming into shape will be difficult and bumpy."
"And the monkey head is very old. If you don't practice well, you will only have a few years to live at most."
"You are neither its parent nor its teacher. If it is just to repay, there is really no need to force it to practice."
"Because it is in such an absent-minded state, even if it forces you to practice, the effect will be limited. At most, it will only prolong a little life, but the loss of freedom and happiness will outweigh the gains."
"If that's the case, why don't you just follow suit?"
Lu Heng said with a smile, "Don't force the monkey head too much, just supervise a little, how far you can go on the path of demon cultivation, all depends on yourself."
"Many things in this world have to talk about fate."
"The person who has no fate, even if you send the benefits to it according to its head, it is afraid that it will not be blessed."
"You can do what you are supposed to do and have a clear conscience. If the monkey head doesn't have the law, then no one can blame it. Anyway, if you and I are in this mountain, we can keep the monkey head safe for life."
"To repay your kindness, you don't have to teach it to practice, let it prolong its life, protect it for a lifetime, and make it happy every day. This is also a way to repay its kindness."
"What's more, you are not a monkey, so you know the joy of monkeys?"
When Lu Heng said this, he couldn't help laughing, "Perhaps in the eyes of the monkey head, it would be better to be a carefree wild monkey in the mountains, cultivating to become a demon and worrying about the mundane world."
Lu Heng's words made the little girl stunned.
She lowered her head and murmured the words of Lord Wolf God.
"You are not a monkey... The joy of knowing the monkey..."
After a while, the little girl raised her head and looked at the wolf god in front of her, her eyes firmed, "I know what to do, thank you Lord Wolf for teaching."
The little girl's expression at this time was finally a lot easier, no longer the look of the gloomy face before.
It seems that the knot has been resolved.
Only then did Lu Heng stand up with a smile, and said, "If that's the case, then go ahead and sweep the floor. I should go back too... eh?"
While speaking, Lu Heng suddenly felt something and looked in the direction outside the mountain.
I saw that outside the Hanyu Mountain, in the heavy snow like goose feathers, two figures cut through the sky one after the other and flew towards this side.
Although the distance is very far, ordinary people are afraid that they can't see anything, but Lu Heng and Xiao Ai are not ordinary people, they can clearly see that the two figures in front and behind cut through the sky, and finally landed on Hanyu Mountain. middle.
Looking at the direction, it is probably the direction of the Kazebu camp.
Xiao Ai was a little surprised, "Lord Wolf God..."
Lu Heng thought for a while and said, "It seems that a guest is coming."
He turned around and walked towards the tree-lined path behind him, "Okay, let's put aside the monkey head thing. If my expectations are correct, it should be the priest from the Li tribe's Vast Sea Department. Go and clean it up, and prepare to welcome you. guest."
"Yes, Lord Wolf God," the little girl bowed and saluted, watching Lu Heng disappear into the tree-lined path.
In the Hanyu Mountain, it was temporarily quiet, only the sound of the mountain wind whistling.
Chapter 48 Li Po
The icy mountain wind whistled across the forest, and the heavy snow fell continuously, turning everything between heaven and earth into silvery white.
In such a mid-winter season, the villagers of Shuisheng Village have huddled in their own houses, sitting around the firewood to keep warm, reluctant to go out to suffer from the cold.
However, it was still lively in the nearby Xifengbu camp.
The thinly dressed Li people seemed to ignore the severe cold of the wind and snow, and were still busy with their own affairs in the snow. Adult males are all shirtless, and their knotted muscles are not afraid of being exposed to the cold wind.
Women only wear short-sleeved narrow skirts that are easy to move, and their bare skin does not feel cold in the cold wind.
Those naughty children are mostly just wearing a pair of pants and rolling around in the snow, playing and playing.
If it weren't for the heavy snow, anyone who entered the camp by mistake would not think that it was winter when they saw the cool and flimsy outfits of the Li people.
Among the group of Li people in thin and cool clothes, Qianqian, who was wearing a white gauze skirt and a wreath on her head, was the most normal one. Although the thin gauze skirt also did not have the ability to resist the cold.
When the snow fell, she was carrying a barrel twice her size through the camp to a small col on the edge of the camp. Here is a simple fence built out of logs, with a huge tortoise lying on it.
These huge alien beasts are pets kept by the Kaze Department, and they are also travel pack beasts, which can carry a lot of luggage and heavy objects. The tortoise in front of me was raised by the girl.
In the snowstorm, the huge tortoise was sleeping. The wind and snow in the sky and the severe cold in the mid-winter were also unable to affect it, and even because it had been lying in the snow for too long, a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the huge tortoise shell.
Qianqian came out of the fence with a huge wooden barrel, and rang the bell on the fence.
"It's dinner, it's dinner!"
Qianqian shouted like this, and the sound of the shaking bell woke the sleepy tortoise.
The tortoise opened its sleepy eyes and saw the girl standing outside the fence, pouring all the contents of the huge wooden barrel into the trough.
With the sound of clattering, what was poured out of the wooden barrel were all finely broken and hard stones, with some mud mixed in between them.
"I'll give you something to eat today," the girl said after pouring out the stones in the wooden bucket, lying on the fence, holding her cheeks with her hands, watching the tortoise slowly crawling inside, "This is granite, I was there yesterday. I picked it up from the mountains just now, and you have a good time today."
In the girl's light humming, the huge tortoise had already come over, stretched out its strange bird-like head, and began to devour and chew the stones and soil in the trough.
Amidst the crunching sound, the girl outside the fence hummed softly and was in a good mood.
The nine tribes of the Li tribe all have their own iron-eating beasts.
This tortoise was the iron-eating beast kept by their Xifeng Department. It has a long life and likes to eat gold, iron, mud and stone, and it can purify and refine the mud, stone, gold and iron in its belly into high-quality ore for smelting by the Xifeng tribe.
I fed this tortoise today, and in a few days, I can come back with high-quality ore.
Thinking like this, the girl smiled and stretched out her hand to touch the bird-like head of the tortoise, and said with a smile, "Good ~ good ~ eat slowly, eat more, I have given you such delicious granite, you You have to extract some high-quality ore for me~”
The girl laughed and comforted the tortoise, not knowing if the tortoise understood her words, ignored her, but buried her head and continued to chew on the stones in the trough.
quack - quack -
In the crisp sound of the tortoise chewing the stone, the smile on the girl's face became more and more happy.
But at this moment, she suddenly felt something, and quickly turned her head to look outside the mountain.
In the blizzard outside the mountain, two figures cut through the sky and were flying towards this side.
Among the familiar auras, one of them was the ordinance sent by the priest's grandfather to the Hanhai Department.
The other is…
"Grandpa Li Po?" The girl jumped up happily, even ignoring the huge empty barrel outside the fence, and trotted towards the camp.
There, two figures flying from outside the mountain just landed in the camp. Although most of the Li people in the camp looked up in surprise, after recognizing the identity of the person who came, everyone lowered their heads and continued to work on their own affairs.
The girl was running in the camp, looking in the direction of the main tent from a distance, waving happily.
"Grandpa Li Po!"
The girl's voice made the two who had just arrived at the camp all look at her.
In front of the huge main tent, standing beside the tall and burly Orhan was a middle-aged man with gray hair and a vicissitudes complexion, but not too old.
Like Li Ju, the priest of the Hierophant Ministry, he was also shirtless, with dark tattoos engraved on his muscles.
It's just that the pattern of this tattoo is not the same as that of the Kaze Department.
Seeing Qianqian's appearance, the priest named Li Po couldn't help but smile and said, "It's Qianqian... Where's your old man? Isn't he in the camp?"
Qianqian walked over with a smile and said, "Grandpa Li Ju is holding fire in the sword stove, Grandpa Li Po, I'll take you to find him."
The girl's answer made Li Po startled, "Stood the fire in the sword furnace? Haven't you moved here for a long time? The sword furnace hasn't been built yet?"
The girl took Li Po to the back of the camp and said, "The sword furnace to be built this time is different from the previous one, so Grandpa Li Ju will take more time. In short, just come with me. It's a long story. And it has to be kept secret, so you can’t tell too many people.”
After the girl pulled Li Po away, the strong man named Orhan took the initiative to leave and returned to his home.
The girl dragged Li Po through the camp, and soon came to the secluded space behind the camp.
When I got here, I couldn't feel the chill in the air anymore. The scorching high temperature evaporated the rain and snow in the air. There was no snow on the ground, and the soil was dry and hard, which looked like it was baked by the high temperature all the year round.
And not far ahead, is the sword furnace built by the Kaze Department.
Even if they were far apart, they could still feel the blazing heat in the sword furnace.
While leading the way, the girl asked, "Did Grandpa Li Po see the robbery cloud in the mountain?"
The priest named Li Po subconsciously looked in the direction of the main peak of Hanyu Mountain and nodded.
"Well, the Orhan told me when he came. He said that there is a white wolf god in Hanyu Mountain, which is very magical. The old man suddenly asked me to come here, maybe it has something to do with this white wolf god... Could this white wolf god really exist? Sufficient amount of Tianlei sand?"
The girl nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, the white wolf god in this mountain is amazing. Not only can he control Tianlei, but he can also bring back the dead and reverse the yin and yang. Grandpa Li Po, you will come with us to visit him later. , ask Him to grant Tianlei sand."
"The amount of Tianlei sand in his place is probably more than the entire world's treasury reserves combined. If you can fulfill his requirements, then the materials for casting the mountain-splitting sword will definitely be enough."
The girl happily shared the good news with Li Po, but Li Po was stunned and a little surprised.
"Envoy Tianlei... come back to life?!"
The divine power of the imperial envoy Tianlei, the Orhan had already mentioned to him. So before he came, Li Po knew that the wolf god in this mountain was by no means unusual.
