The old beggar looked at the monster that appeared in front of him, and his facial muscles twitched noticeably. At a certain moment, he felt that the one being restrained by Ji Yuan's method of restraining gods was not the mountain god, but his own face.
Ji Yuan couldn't help but smile when he saw the old beggar's expression, but the latter's expression was subtle for only a moment, and then he immediately returned to normal. His shamelessness was comparable to the mountain formed by the previous Mountain Suppression Technique.
With just this one glance, Ji Yuan turned his attention to the mountain god, who was standing there nervously. In addition to looking between Ji Yuan and the old beggar, his eyes were also focused on the mountain in front of him that could not be ignored at all.
As someone who wants to become the true god of Pozi Mountain, the first step is to understand the terrain of the mountain and sort out the veins of the earth. He is very familiar with every blade of grass and every tree in the entire Pozi Mountain, not to mention the hills and peaks.
The sudden appearance of so many magnificent peaks was probably caused by the previous battle.
'Oh my god... Ugh, oh my god...'
The mountain god originally wanted to imitate the mountain people and sigh "Oh my God", but suddenly remembered that he had no mother, so he had to immediately change to God.
Seeing Ji Yuan and the old beggar's gaze turning towards him, the mountain god quickly withdrew his gaze.
"My name is Shi Youdao. I wonder why the two Immortals summoned me here?"
Ji Yuan pointed to the side and said, "This name."
"This mountain was created by Mr. Lu using his mountain-suppressing magic. A female demon is being suppressed underneath it, and she cannot escape for a hundred years."
The mountain god opened his mouth slightly, looked at the mountain and nodded.
"You are the mountain god of this Pozi Mountain. Ji hopes that you can take good care of it and make sure that the suppression seal does not become damaged due to the destruction of the mountain."
With such a huge mountain pressing down on him, it was hard for the mountain god to imagine what kind of monster was underneath. Ordinary monsters would probably be crushed into pulp just by being pressed down, and what about this monster that had to be pressed down for another hundred years? Thinking of this, the mountain god was frightened. If the monster really escaped, wouldn't it directly find him, the "jailer", to take action
But the monster had not come out after all, and the two immortals who created a mountain to suppress the monster were standing right in front of him. How could the mountain god dare to say no
"I obey your orders, I understand!"
The mountain god bowed once more, not daring to show any disrespect in his words.
"cough!"
The old beggar coughed dryly and spoke.
"This mountain that suppressed the banshee is also of great benefit to you, a mountain god who has not yet become a true god. This is not an illusion or something like that. It is a real mountain, and it will form a mountain range with the surrounding peaks. It is not obvious at the moment, but in five, ten, or a hundred years, the mountain range of Pozi Mountain will increase greatly because of this mountain. If you, a mountain god, can become a true god, you should understand what this means."
This is a real benefit. The mountain god's eyes lit up and he bowed deeply to the old beggar.
"Thank you for the advice, Immortal!"
After hesitating for a while, the mountain god finally expressed his concerns.
"However, although I am very willing to share the worries of the two immortals, I am shallow in Taoism and my cultivation is poor. My magical power is extremely limited. I can only do my best and dare not claim that it is absolutely safe... Moreover, although I call myself the God of the Mountain, I am just flattering myself. The Daxiu Dynasty does not recognize my position as a deity. I cannot freely display my magic in the mountains. Even if I want to build a temple, it will be immediately regarded as an obscene temple and destroyed..."
Hearing this, Ji Yuan and the old beggar couldn't help but look at the mountain god seriously. They were both smart people, so they could naturally hear the hidden meaning of the mountain god's words.
Interesting. I didn't expect that you, the mountain god, are quite smart. You know how to seize this opportunity, and you are also brave enough to try to seize it.
"Mountain God, please relax."
As Ji Yuan spoke, he waved his hand and a warrior in golden armor walked forward step by step from the edge of the mountain behind him. After a few steps, his figure was revealed, and his burly and strong physique scared the mountain god.
"Your Majesty."
The warrior in golden armor bowed slightly, then stood up. Although he did not have any emotions, he was not unresponsive to the outside world. So after his eyes swept over the old beggar, he naturally looked at the mountain god.
However, the normal posture of the warrior in golden armor is to hold his head high and chest out, and the body of the mountain god is a little short, which results in the warrior standing next to Ji Yuan at this moment, raising his head and looking at the mountain god with sidelong glances. Not to mention the mountain god, even Ji Yuan and the old beggar looked at him with a feeling of arrogance and contempt.
"Haha, this is the Golden Armor Warrior, also known as the Yellow Turban Warrior. He is a kind of guardian general. He will also be here to guard and lend a helping hand to the Mountain God."
The mountain god nodded suddenly, stepped forward quickly, and bowed deeply to the warrior in golden armor.
"I am Shi Youdao, the mountain god of Xiapozi Mountain. I will be working with the Lord General for a while!"
The warrior in golden armor stood there motionless, nor did he bend down to return the greeting. He still had that look of raising his head and squinting his eyes. When the mountain god finished his greeting and raised his head, the warrior in golden armor retracted his gaze, looked straight ahead, and completely ignored him.
"Uh, haha, the Golden Armor Warrior didn't mean to do that. Let's talk about something else. You said that the Daxiu Dynasty doesn't recognize your status. You may not even dare to let the Daxiu government know that you want to become a god, let alone set up a temple."
Ji Yuan thought for a moment and continued.
"This matter is simple. Ji and Mr. Lu will go and talk to the Daxiu Imperial Master. I think the Daxiu royal family will still give this face."
The mountain god was ecstatic in his heart and his face was filled with joy. If he could get official approval from Daxiu and build a mountain god temple in the mountains or along the road outside the mountain pass, it would be of great benefit to him.
"If we can still obtain the imperial decree of the Great Xiu Emperor and allow the government to lead the people in offering sacrifices, then... forget it..."
Thinking of this, the mountain god couldn't stop smiling. The words of such an immortal master were promises, which were much more reliable than the mortals' words that once spoken, they could not be taken back.
Although he was happy, he could not get carried away. He quickly bowed and thanked him again. As it concerned his own future as a practitioner, he could not afford to be careless in the slightest.
"Thank you both for your kindness. I feel relieved now!"
Ji Yuan and the old beggar looked at each other and nodded slightly. With the mountain god around, the protection they provided was much higher than before.
"Okay, thank you, Stone Mountain God. We will leave first. When the demon girl wakes up, she will come over. Maybe you don't need to guard her for a hundred years."
Ji Yuan didn't finish his words, and the mountain god didn't understand, but the old beggar knew the implication: Tu Siyan, the eight-tailed fox demon, was not easy to kill, and it might not be easy to trap her either.
Seeing Ji Yuan and the old beggar were about to leave, the mountain god hurriedly asked another question.
"May I ask the two Immortals what kind of monster is the female demon suppressed at the foot of the mountain, so that I can be prepared."
Clouds of mist had already appeared under the feet of Ji Yuan and the old beggar, and while lifting the two up into the air, Ji Yuan's words also reached the ears of the mountain god.
"The eight-tailed fox demon, Tu Siyan, is eloquent and even more adept at changing her ways. No matter what she says, don't believe her."
After leaving these words, Ji Yuan and the old beggar bowed slightly to the mountain god and ascended into the sky with the clouds. Naturally, the mountain god did not dare to be negligent and saw them off with great courtesy.
"Huh... It's stressful to be in front of a master, but it's a good thing after all, hehe..."
After the white clouds flew away, the mountain god relaxed at once and smiled more casually. Although the eight-tailed fox demon was scary, the two immortals who could subdue it were even more extraordinary. These people had extraordinary cultivation, and with them guiding him, his future would be bright.
The mountain god turned to face the mountain with a smug smile, but was suddenly startled by the golden-armored warrior.
"Ouch!"
The mountain god shuddered and shrank back, almost forgetting that there was another god general guarding the mountain. He must have been seen by the god just now, right? I wonder if the god general will tell on him...
"Um, may I know your name, General? You and I may have to work together for quite some time. Hehe, I am honored to be here!"
The mountain god Shi Youdao saluted again to the warrior in golden armor. The latter glanced over and squinted his eyes downward, which made the mountain god feel uneasy. He thought that the other party must have seen the slightly complacent look he had shown before.
"My Lord God, do you have any hobbies? I am willing to do my best to be a good host..."
The golden-armored general finally responded to this sentence. He turned his head slightly to look at the mountain and then turned his gaze back to look at the mountain god.
"Following the order from the Supreme Being, guard this mountain and keep out the evildoers."
After saying this, the warrior in golden armor slowly retreated towards the mountain wall. His figure appeared and disappeared in the eyes of the mountain god.
The mountain god stood there in a daze for a long time, realizing that although the other party looked down on him as a small and insignificant goblin, he was a meticulous person. He bowed slightly again in the direction of the mountain in front of him, and then turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared into the ground.
…
Above the white clouds, Ji Yuan and the old beggar stood in silence. After a long time, the old beggar could not help but speak.
"Mr. Ji, can you also restrain the gods?"
"meeting."
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Ji Yuan grinned.
"Mr. Lu didn't ask earlier."
"Why… "
The old beggar sighed and then said to Ji Yuan.
"Mr. Ji's magic of binding spirits is very magical, and is better than that of the old beggar."
"You're too kind. This is the first time Ji Yuan has seen Mr. Lu's mind-binding technique. It's also very miraculous."
The old beggar smiled.
"The original method is slightly incomplete. I, an old beggar, have improved it. It is not worth mentioning."
Ji Yuan opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.
The two were silent for a while, and the old beggar suddenly spoke again.
"Mr. Ji, what other mysterious powers do you have? Can you tell me about them? For example, your hidden power?"
This one really can't be used, and it's just for show. And the other magical powers don't seem suitable to be used casually. Just talking about it sounds like bragging, so Ji Yuan can only shake his head.
"My generation of cultivators have some hidden abilities, but I am just a wanderer in the mountains. I cannot compare to Mr. Lu's profound background, so I won't talk about them."
The old beggar's expression was full of disbelief, but he didn't ask any further questions. He had only said it casually, and he was actually a little afraid that Ji Yuan would really show off some shocking skills.
