"Don't, don't kill me, I'm not a monster that does evil things, I've never eaten anyone, no no, I rarely even kill..."
The monster in the golden-armored warrior's hand was frightened out of his wits. The five-meter-tall giant general was even bigger than him in his true form, not to mention that he couldn't use any strength at the moment.
However, no matter how he begged for mercy, the golden-armored and red-skinned guardian general did not react at all. He just kept looking in the direction where the demons fled. In the perception of the golden-armored warrior, he could no longer detect Tu Siyan's whereabouts.
There is no doubt that he failed to complete the order left by the Lord. A feeling he had never experienced before arose in the perception level of the golden armored warrior. It was a vague feeling. He looked at the sky in the distance, and then at the still existing Fox-Suppressing Mountain in Peizi Mountain. He felt a faint sense of frustration in his heart. Of course, he did not know what this feeling was, and had never had a similar experience.
"Master God, please let me go. I will definitely change my mind and become a good demon..."
The sound of the monster in his hand drew the attention of the golden-armored warrior back. He did not turn his head, but just watched the monster in his right hand with the corner of his eye. At this moment, the monster was wrapped in yellow ribbons and faint lightning, and a phantom of a wolverine would appear on its head from time to time.
In the eyes of the monster, the indifference and contempt of the Golden Armored General were the same as before, but in the latter's feelings, there was a faint anger.
The earth spirits gathered under his feet and his strength suddenly increased.
"Kala la la..."
The bones in its body made a teeth-grinding friction sound. At this critical moment of life and death, the monster endured the pain and used all its demonic power to fight back. Its muscles bulged and demonic light appeared. It even tried to transform directly into its original form in order to break free from the restraints of the golden-armored warrior.
“Sizzle…”
Lightning with a faint purple light flashed across the palm of the golden-armored warrior, and the monster's body, which had begun to swell, was beaten back to human form.
"no no!"
"Kala la la..."
After a brief sawing-like "crunch" sound, the monster in his hand was crushed with a "bang", and even the demonic aura and evil spirit were dissipated by the breath of thunder. Meat mud and blood plasma continued to overflow from between the fingers of the golden armored warrior, and were washed down the mountain along with the rain in the mountains, so as to nourish the earth again.
"Boom..."
Thunder illuminated Pozi Mountain, leaving only a burly warrior in golden armor standing on the top of the mountain.
The dark clouds in the sky still lingered, and the heavy rain in the mountains was still falling. However, the exaggerated floods in the mountains no longer gathered because of the departure of the demons, and instead seeped into the cracks in the mountains or rushed directly in all directions along the mountain streams.
After about ten breaths, the strange feeling gradually left the golden-armored warrior's perception level, and he regained his usual sense of calmness.
The golden-armored warrior walked down the mountaintop step by step, slowly returning to his original size in the process, and finally arrived in front of the Zhenhu Mountain. Although the monster had escaped, the golden-armored warrior still chose to return here and slowly disappeared.
The next morning, the heavy rain in the mountains had stopped. The mountain torrents and mudslides that broke out in the deep mountains caused the original mountain village in Pozi Mountain to suffer disasters. Many houses in the village collapsed. Fortunately, miraculously there were no casualties, at most a few people caught a cold.
The villagers in the mountains also slowly came back to their senses from the long period of terror. Some elderly people and children were moved to intact houses to rest, while the women cooked ginger soup and food together to fill everyone's stomach and drive away the cold, while the hunters went around the village to see if anyone was trapped.
The old village chief, who was old but still strong, carried a bow and a spear on his back and walked around the village with the young people. If he saw a collapsed house, he would rush over immediately.
"You guys, check if there's anyone in the house?"
"I gonna go see!"
The eldest son beside him immediately ran over and looked through the gap in the house.
"Dad, there's no one inside!"
A man also came jogging over from the other side.
"Village Chief, this is my second uncle's house. His whole family is at the entrance of the village. They are all fine."
"Oh! That's good! By the way, have you checked everything over there?"
"I've checked them all, there's no one... no one... Ah Qiu... No one, hiss..."
The old village chief shook his head.
"Hurry up and drink some ginger soup. Although we have suffered a disaster, it is probably because of the blessing of the mountain god that no one in our village has been harmed. Oh, by the way, let's go check out the mountain god temple!"
"Dad, there won't be any problems at the mountain temple."
Although they said so, there were still four or five men led by the old village chief and walked towards the mountain temple.
This mountain village is already on the outskirts of Pozi Mountain, and the mountain temple is built on a mountain road further out to facilitate worship by people outside the mountain and passers-by.
The mountain temple is not too far from the village, but because of yesterday's mountain floods, many trees in the mountain have fallen and some rocks have rolled down, causing some frequently used mountain paths to be destroyed and many places to be muddy. The mountain temple that usually takes half a quarter of an hour to reach now took two quarters of an hour to get there.
"Dad, we've arrived at the mountain temple, everything is fine!"
"Well, let's go and pay our respects to the mountain god. Let him appease the wild animals in the mountains so that they won't come out and hurt people after a flash flood."
"Why!"
The mountain folks are very superstitious, and the mountain god of this mountain can sometimes be found. Although the framework of this mountain god temple has just been built, and vermilion lacquer, incense and other offerings have to be transported from outside the mountain after a while, there are still mountain folks who come to the temple to worship almost every other day or even every day.
The temple door was ajar, and the village chief's son gently pushed it open.
After a "creaky" sound, the temple door opened, and the scene in front of them scared the mountain people.
"Ah!?" "Mountain God!"
"How could this happen! How could this happen!"
Several people were in panic and kept bowing towards the temple. Inside the temple, the original statue of the mountain god had cracked and half of the clay head of the mountain god had fallen to the ground.
This was a new temple and the statue was also new. Its destruction brought a strong sense of fear to the mountain people, and they immediately sent people to report to the nearest government office. After all, the mountain temple was built by the imperial court.
Soon, someone from Daxiu Tianshi came to the mountain to investigate. It turned out that not only was the mountain god statue damaged, but even the mountain god of Pozi Mountain had disappeared. He might have hidden himself, or he might have died. Judging from the condition of the mountain god statue, the latter possibility was even greater.
The Daxiu Tianshi's office is not a place where one can live a life of luxury and slip away when encountering difficulties. To enjoy the convenience brought by the Daxiu Dynasty is to be interdependent with Daxiu, and to have a real responsibility.
Even though they felt uneasy, the Tianshi Office of Bianrong Prefecture still had to bite the bullet and go into the mountains to investigate. There was no need to overthink it, as everyone knew it was most likely related to the seal in the mountains.
After trekking for most of the day, the people from the Tianshi's office saw half of the giant ape's body somewhere in the mountains. The strong demonic aura on the corpse was lingering, and evil spirits had begun to condense, and there were signs that it was transforming into poisonous miasma.
This shows that the giant ape is not some small monster, nor is it a holy and good monster. The body of this monster is too large and too complete. If it is not dealt with, it will eventually turn into miasma, which may breed evil spirits. Mountain travelers who pass by and inhale the miasma will also become seriously ill.
The demon's corpse was set on fire using cinnabar powder and yellow talisman paper. The five monks who entered the mountain together cast a spell together, and it took a long time to burn the demon's corpse to ashes. Then they spent a long time finding the other half of the corpse and burned it in the same way.
Finally, the five monks from the Tianshi Temple and the accompanying warriors came to the edge of the place where the monster was suppressed again. With the naked eye, the mountain seemed to be no different, but with the monks' intuition, they felt that this place was not as intact as before.
"The most worrying situation has happened. The forbidden power left by the master has been broken..."
"I guess the monster has already escaped?"
Several people frowned and looked around, and could see some signs of mountain collapse and mountain shattering.
"There are traces of fighting. The giant ape must have died nearby. The mountain god is probably in great danger."
"What about the golden armored general?"
"I don't know, maybe... Anyway, we shouldn't stay here for long, let's report back to the Heavenly Master first!"
"That's right. Also, it's best to relocate the villagers in the mountain village. Although they are on the periphery, there's no guarantee that there will be any changes."
When the accompanying warriors heard these words, it was as if they heard the sound of nature. Staying in this deep mountain, they felt their scalps tingling all the time, fearing that some monster would come out.
This incident certainly caused tension in Daxiu Bianrong Mansion. You have to know that the news coming from the capital later said that the master who left the seal was very powerful. God knows what kind of monster escaped, so it is best not to cause trouble in Daxiu.
At the same moment when Daxiu was extremely nervous, at the Xianlai Peak of Jiufeng Mountain, the old beggar who felt that the seal had been broken opened his eyes. He saw that Ji Yuan and others were still concentrating on casting spells. He didn't want to be distracted by this, let alone distract everyone. He just sighed slightly and immersed all his mind in refining the spell again.
They gathered everyone's wisdom and strength to overcome one seemingly impossible obstacle after another. The insights they gained about refining equipment during this period were enough to be written into an incredible collection of refining equipment.
Now the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements are slowly merging into the golden thread. What's left is the slow and steady work. Under the burning of the Samadhi Fire and the joint care of the five people, everything will reach a perfect state. As for how long it will take, it is not clear for now. We only know that it could be as short as three to five years or as long as more than ten years.
The Xianyou Conference ended on the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month of that year, but it was only the conference of Tiandao Peak that ended. In the minds of the immortal cultivators who attended the conference, the Xianyou Conference was not actually over yet, because the five masters of Xianlai Peak had not yet come out of seclusion.
Even though the conference has ended, there are still a few immortal cultivators who have not left. They want to wait for the result from Xianlai Peak. Although they don't know how long it will take, if there is nothing important, they plan to wait.
Finally, in the Jingzhe Festival of the Guimao Year, which was the spring of the sixth year after the end of the Xianyou Conference, the Xianlai Peak of the Jiufeng Mountain presented endless strange visions. Rays of light rose from the mountain and rushed into the sky, and there was also pleasant Taoist music rising from nowhere in the sky.
