I'm not a god anymore

"So in the future, I will not force you to supervise you or force you to do things you don't want to do. Anyway, I have taught you the method of cultivation and led you into the gate."

"How much you can cultivate next depends on your own good luck."

The girl's calm and indifferent voice made the white ape feel much less frightened.

Under the rain curtain, it raised its head secretly, looked at the little girl in front of it, and asked tentatively, "Hey? Hey?"

The girl nodded and said, "Since you want to go back to find your companion, then go. There is nothing wrong in this mountain, just take care of yourself."

Although the girl's indifferent appearance was not pleasant, it was completely different from the fierce and serious image before.Only then did Bai Yuan feel relieved, confirming that the little girl's words were sincere.

It just jumped up with a smile on its face, chirping non-stop.

In the rain curtain, the happy white ape seemed to have unloaded some burden, then chirped, and ran happily and lively towards the mountains and forests to find its companions.

And behind it, the little girl sitting cross-legged in front of the Wolf Temple watched the disappearing back of the white ape. After a long silence, she sighed slowly.

This monkey head, in the end, did not stay to practice...

Chapter 52

After the three Li people left, Hanyu Mountain returned to the tranquility of the past.

Lu Heng caught the thunder again and returned to the underground to cultivate.

The sudden epiphany allowed him to realize the supernatural power of using Jieyun to bring down rain, and it also gave him a better understanding of the nature of Tianlei.So this time, the retreat will probably last longer than before.

In front of the Wolf Temple, apart from cleaning the dead leaves, Xiao Ai did most of the hard work.

With the wolf demon's 200 years of Taoism, she no longer needs three meals a day like ordinary people, and her demand for food is not great.

A few pieces of wasteland reclaimed in the back mountain were planted with some vegetables, together with the rice, oil and salt brought from Shuisheng Village, these were enough for the little girl's daily needs.

Except for the monkey head that basically didn't come to the Wolf Temple, everything in the mountain seemed to be the same as usual.If we say that the biggest change is the vegetation in the mountains.

Hanyu Mountain, which was originally withered leaves due to the midwinter, experienced that burst of rain, and many trees that had lost their leaves began to sprout, just like the arrival of early spring.

A wild peach grove in the back mountain even bloomed out of season in the severe cold and mid-winter. The refreshing fragrance of peach blossoms wafts in the mountains, even in front of the wolf temple which is quite far away.

Outside Hanyu Mountain, in the camp of the Wind Division, a raging fire ignited in the newly built sword furnace.

The astonishingly scorching high temperature and the eerily cold icy air staggered out day and night in the sword furnace.

During the daytime, the wind was bitter, and the surrounding area of ​​the sword furnace was as cold as an abyss of extreme cold.After night fell, a red fire appeared from the sword furnace, and the frighteningly high temperature scorched everything in the air. With the sword furnace as the center, the vegetation withered and everything withered within a radius of one mile.

In such a strange environment with alternating hot and cold, even the Li people living in the camp of Xifengbu felt a little uncomfortable.If the villagers from the Shuisheng village outside the mountain came to live here, they might not be able to stay for a quarter of an hour and would run away in dismay.

And the two priests who worked hard to forge the divine sword never came out after entering the sword furnace.In order to prevent outside interference, they even sealed the inside and outside of the sword furnace, and it will not be opened until the day of becoming a sword.

So Qianqian became bored.

After the old priest retreated, she was responsible for handling all the affairs of the clan, but most of them were trivial matters, which annoyed the girl.

But if you want to be lazy, you can't do it. You can only bite the bullet and deal with the boring trifles in the tribe with a helpless face.

However, after the heavy snow stopped, the aquatic village outside the mountain became much more lively.

Because the heavy snow stopped and the weather has been good in the past few days, the communication between the Fengfeng Department and the Shuisheng Village has resumed.

Two ethnic groups with different cultures and even different living habits temporarily chose an open place outside the mountain as a market to exchange things with each other.

The gold and iron utensils smelted by the Li people, the furs and furs of various prey collected during the journey, and the herbs in the mountains, etc., and the Shuishi Village produced their own brewed wine, raised livestock, and even villagers set up stoves in the market and started fires on the spot. Fry food for the Li people.

This market is held every six days, but it is quite lively.

Qianqian is quite concerned about the market, after all, it is very fun, so the market can be established, and she took the lead in doing a lot of it.

It's a pity that the fair has only been held three times, and it had to be temporarily suspended because of another heavy snowfall.

It was approaching New Year's Eve at this time, and even outside Hanyu Mountain, which was located in a remote place and had no contact with the outside world, the atmosphere of the New Year was gradually getting stronger in the villages, let alone those ancient big cities outside the mountain.

Thousand Needles City, which is extremely far from Hanyu Mountain, is now snowing heavily, and thick snow is piled up on both sides of the road outside the city, almost knee deep.

Traveling in such a blizzard is extremely inconvenient, but there are not many pedestrians on the road.Because there is a grand gathering in Thousand Needles City today, many villagers who live near the city will come to the city to buy new year's goods.

In the snowstorm, there were only a few figures on the road outside the city gate.In order to resist the severe cold, the villagers wear thick clothes, so that they have some mobility problems.

In the largest building in the city, the Vulcan Palace, Uncle Gong put down the bamboo slips in his hand and looked at his subordinates who were walking outside.

"Are you ready?" Gongshu Jie asked.

The subordinate nodded respectfully, "It's ready, just waiting for Master Wu Zhu's orders."

"Okay," Uncle Jie nodded in satisfaction, looked at the heavy snow outside the window, thought for a while, and asked, "Are the old clans responding?"

The subordinate shook his head, "The old clan didn't respond, it's just that some junior youths in the clan were wandering around in the city. Maybe the elders of the clan knew about the news, so they sent these juniors out to test it out."

Uncle Gong Jie laughed, "They want to test, so let them test. With the wisdom of those people, how can they understand the deep meaning of my actions today?"

"Although sooner or later, they will understand. It's just that it's too late to understand."

"If today's matter is successful, half of my momentum will be raised...haha... let's go, let's go to the city gate."

"Today, my father-in-law, Jie, will make the entire Thousand Needles City dumbfounded!"

Uncle Jie laughed loudly and was in a good mood.

In the past, he hated and disdained the old clans in the city, those clan elders who played tricks and greedily grabbed profits, but couldn't think of a countermeasure, so he could only watch with cold eyes.

However, Han Yushan and his party got a lot out of talking with the wolf god.The wolf god's humble words and great righteousness made him see a path he had never imagined.

After returning, he prepared a detailed plan, carried out detailed ideas and deduction, and finally established what to do next.

It's just that to do those things, you need a reason and a beginning.

Although Wu Zhu's name is majestic and majestic, it cannot accurately convey his will to the ears of the villagers.That group of old clans who have not done enough will definitely hinder him and ruin his good deeds.

But after today, the situation will definitely be different!The villagers are dull, but they can also educate and win trust.

Thinking of this, Uncle Jie was in a happy mood, and his laughter was even more joyful.

A quarter of an hour later, a three-foot-long log was erected at the south gate of Thousand Needles City.

A message spread rapidly among the crowd entering the city.

"Master Wu Zhu said that if someone can move the logs from the south gate to the north gate, he will reward ten gold!"

Less than an hour after the news was released, it spread throughout Thousand Needles City at an extremely fast speed.

Because of the gathering, Thousand Needles City today is full of people. Many nearby villagers come to the city to buy new year's goods. It can be said that it is very lively.After such a strange news spread, it instantly aroused the people's amazed discussion.

"Ten gold rewards? So much?"

"Just moving a piece of wood, can you get ten gold rewards? Is it fake? How can it be possible to reward so much?"

"Isn't that log so heavy that no one can move it away..."

Similar discussions appeared everywhere in the city.

Whether it was the nearby villagers who came to buy new year's goods, or the original residents of the city, everyone was very surprised by the news, and some didn't believe it.

Many people even went to the south gate to see it in person, and found that there was really a three-foot-long log standing there.Although heavy, it is not impossible to move.

Beside the logs, there are wizard masters from the Fire God Temple waiting, constantly preaching to the villagers in and out of the city that they can get ten gold by moving the logs, and even the bounty has been prepared aside, ready to be picked up at any time.

Such a strange incident quickly caused an uproar in Thousand Needles City.

It's just that from morning to noon, although many villagers gathered at the south gate to watch the play, no one came forward to try it in person.

After noon, the snow stopped, and the sun pierced through the clouds and shone on the city of Thousand Needles.

The news about the upgrade of the bounty spread again.

"Master Wu Zhu said, go move that piece of wood now, and you will be rewarded fifty gold!"

"Hiss...fifty gold...really..."

"Why so many? What is Master Wu Zhu going to do?"

"That's right! It's too strange to reward fifty gold for moving a piece of wood, isn't it?"

"Master Wu Zhu's actions are really profound, it's really hard to guess."

……

There was an uproar in the city because of the bounty.

In one of the quiet mansions, a young junior came back from the outside and went straight to the house of the elder family.

"Grandpa, I went to see it. That uncle Jie is serious. He really prepared a reward of fifty gold. As long as he can move the wood, he can take the reward!"

The young man's yelling made the old man by the fire raise his head slightly.He put down the ancient sheepskin scroll in his hand and asked, "Is there anything unusual about the wood?"

"No abnormality, just ordinary wood. Any strong man can move it away alone," the young man said, "Grandpa, what kind of medicine do you think is sold in this uncle Jie's gourd? A bounty of [-] for a piece of wood? Did he have too much money to burn it?"

The old man thought for a while, then shook his head, "Uncle Wu Zhu acted like this, there must be a deep meaning...Let's see how he will act in the future. What happened today is by no means aimless."

"Then are we going to make trouble?" The young man said with a smile, "How about I move that log away? Get the fifty gold?"

The old man glared at him with a smile, and cursed, "Be careful that Uncle Jie burns you to ashes..."

Among the old clans in the city, similar questions and answers appeared several times.

But because they couldn't see the deep meaning of Gongshu Jie's actions, the old clans finally reached a tacit agreement - don't mix this matter up, let's see how he plays around.

As for the ordinary residents in the city, as well as the villagers from outside the city, the atmosphere in the city became more and more lively because of the news of the reward for erecting a tree.Countless people ran to the south of the city to watch a play, wanting to see what kind of wood would be moved for the fifty gold reward.

On the snow-covered city roads, there was a lot of voices.

Above the city tower, Uncle Gong looked at the large crowd gathered below and smiled.

Hearing the noisy discussions among the crowd, and feeling the success of today's event, he was in a happy mood, and couldn't help but look in the direction of Hanyu Mountain.

All smiles.

If God Wolf could see his success today, he would also be happy, right?

But what happened today is just the beginning.He will be able to do follow-up things until the news of moving wood and establishing faith spreads.

At that time, the old clan in this city will react, and it will be too late.

Chapter 53 Funeral

Lu Heng, who was far away in Hanyu Mountain, didn't know the lively atmosphere in Thousand Needles City.

After listening to Lu Heng's story, Uncle Jie, Lu Heng didn't even know about the decisions and plans he made when he went back.

Now he is cultivating in the shrine below the wolf temple.

The last epiphany gave him a deeper understanding of the nature of the power of the sky thunder, and he couldn't get out of the test for a long time.

Outside Hanyu Mountain, with the last heavy snowfall before New Year's Eve, the weather in the mountains gradually cleared up.

On the day of the new year on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the sky cleared up and the snow inside and outside the mountains disappeared.Although the wind blowing across the mountains is still a little chilly, the coldest day in the middle of the twelfth lunar month has passed.

In Shuisheng Village outside Hanyu Mountain, one or two families held funerals.

Even if there is plenty of food and clothing, there will still be a few elderly people who cannot survive the severe winter every year.And one of them is even a close relative of Xiao Ai.

Although the other party didn't dare to enter the mountain to disturb her, Xiao Ai got up early on this day in Xiaonian.

She took a hatchet and went to the back mountain in the morning mist, cut a bundle of firewood, carried it back alone, and then started the stove to cook.

In the early morning of Hanyu Mountain, a wisp of cooking smoke slowly rises from the woodshed behind the Wolf Temple.

Xiao Ai originally intended to bake a few cakes for breakfast, and then practice a little bit, before going down the mountain to attend his uncle's funeral after noon.But as soon as the stove was lit, there was a creaking sound outside the door, and a white ape sneaked in from outside the door.

Seeing Xiao Ai looking at it, the white ape quickly squeezed out a flattering smile, "Chichi... Chichi..."

Xiao Ai glanced at it and said, "Why are you lying outside? Since you're here, come in."

It has been more than a month since Xiao Ai let the monkey head go to the mountains last time, but the white ape never returned to the Wolf Temple to practice with Xiao Ai, maybe it was playing wild in the mountains.

Of course, it may also be because I am afraid of Xiao Ai, so I dare not come back.

As for whether the white ape has practiced since then, Xiao Ai doesn't know, and doesn't want to know.

She greeted the white ape with a calm face, and she was not angry because the white ape hadn't come back for more than a month.But the white ape couldn't see the murderous look on Xiaoai's body, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and walked in chirping.

It looked at the woodshed in front of it, and the girl standing by the stove making pancakes, sniffed, and then very cleverly ran to the stove on the other side to hold the fire.When the fire in the stove was a little smaller, it cleverly added wood to the fire without waiting for the girl to give orders.

Soon, the girl finished baking the pancakes, and the scallion pancakes exuding a tempting aroma made Bai Yuan salivate.

The girl didn't make fun of it, and directly distributed three cakes to the white ape, "Here, yours."
