I'm not a god anymore

Gradually, the old monkey's breathing became heavier and heavier, and the breathing intervals became longer and longer.No matter how hard the white ape tried, the weak aura in its body was still unable to help the old monkey.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..."

In the cave, the blank cry of the white ape sounded.

It sat blankly next to the old monkey, watching the female monkey who raised it up gradually lose its breath, and its body gradually began to turn cold, feeling a little flustered and at a loss what to do.

After the old monkey died completely, it shook the old monkey's body desperately in panic and fear.

But no matter how it shook and shouted, the old monkey remained motionless and would never open its eyes to look at it again.

In the dark cave, the voice of the white ape gradually decreased.

In the end, it suddenly turned into a shrill howl of pain, which spread far and wide in the forest...

……

When Lu Heng heard the commotion, he was still practicing in the underground shrine.

The avatar of the primordial spirit floating in mid-air slowly opened his eyes with a slightly surprised expression.

With a thought, Lu Heng's soul incarnation appeared in front of the wolf temple.

Under the blood-red sunset, a white ape was kneeling in front of the wolf temple, howling and kowtowing desperately.

In the arms of the white ape, there was a completely frozen ape corpse.

A girl named Xiaoai was standing on the steps in front of the Wolf Temple, preventing the white ape from entering.

The expression on her face was both distressed and angry.

"I told you! Lord Wolf God can't help you! Birth, old age, sickness and death are the order of heaven and earth, which cannot be changed!"

"Don't mess around here, okay?"

"If you disturb Lord Wolf God's cultivation, even taking your skin off will not atone for your sin!"

The girl's words were fierce and her tone was fierce, but the white ape in front of her turned a deaf ear to the scolding, and just kowtowed desperately towards the wolf temple, howling mournfully and desperately.

The shrill howling sound spread far and wide in the mountains, appearing inexplicably sad.

This is what Lu Heng saw when he came out...

A few seconds later, Lu Heng sighed slowly and said.

"Okay, Xiao Ai, you don't have to be harsh on it."

Patting the girl on the shoulder, Lu Heng said, "Let me hear the monkey's wish."

Xiao Ai was taken aback by Lu Heng's sudden appearance.

She stepped back quickly, a little panicked, "Lord Wolf God, I interrupted your practice..."

"It's okay, I've been underground for a long time, it's time to come out and take a look," Lu Heng smiled at the girl, then looked at the white ape kneeling at his feet, his expression became serious.

"Do you want me to save it?" Lu Heng looked at the ape corpse in Bai Yuan's arms, and asked straight to the point.

Bai Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded desperately, "Chi! Chi Chi!"

Lu Heng looked at it and asked, "Why do you want to save it? Is it very important to you?"

"Chi! Chi!" the white ape shouted excitedly, and told the wolf god that the old monkey had raised him since he was a child.

Under the blood-red sunset, the white ape, holding the corpse of the old monkey, shouting desperately, gesticulating constantly, and hoarse, looked so helpless and pitiful.

However, Lu Heng's expression remained unchanged.

He stood in front of the Wolf Temple, quietly listening to what the white ape had said, before speaking slowly.

"This old monkey is very important to you, so you immediately begged me to help you after it died. But there are dozens of monkeys in your monkey group in the mountains, including your children, and these monkeys are also very important to you. Very important."

"If they die tomorrow, will you bring them to me to save them?"

Bai Yuan was completely stunned by Lu Heng's question.

It hugged the corpse of the old monkey in its arms, and knelt there blankly, not knowing how to answer for a while.

Lu Heng looked at it like this, sighed softly, and then said.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are the order of heaven and earth, which cannot be changed. When you saw that I saved Xiao Ai once, you thought I had the ability to bring the dead back to life. So after the old monkey died, you immediately thought of coming to me."

"But have you ever thought, if I can really revive all the dead creatures and bring everything in the world back to life, can this world still maintain its present appearance? Aren't those resurrected from the dead everywhere? ?”

Lu Heng's question left Bai Yuan at a loss.

It knelt there blankly, not knowing what to say.

Lu Heng continued, "Or, if I can resurrect the dead at will. Then why didn't I resurrect Xiaoai's uncle? Why didn't I resurrect the old people who died in Shuisheng Village?"

Lu Heng looked at the white ape and said softly.

"You saved Xiao Ai's life back then, so Xiao Ai wanted to repay you, so she taught you the method of cultivation, hoping to lead you into the way of demon cultivation, escape from chaos and ignorance, and live longer."

"During those days, she was exhausted physically and mentally, but she didn't dare to give up easily...Why did she have to work so hard?"

"If I can really resurrect the dead at will, then Xiaoai only needs to watch you play in the mountains, and when your life is up and you die, then hold you in front of me and bring me back to life. You can also continue to live in the mountains." Playing, carefree? Why does Xiao Ai have to go to great lengths to teach you the way of longevity?"

Lu Heng said softly, without any harshness in his eyes.

However, in front of the Wolf Temple, the eyes of the kneeling white ape gradually became dull.

It understood what Lu Heng meant, and it also clearly realized that the female monkey in its arms would never open its eyes again.

A little dazed, the white ape lowered his head, staring blankly at the corpse of the old monkey in his arms.

The afterglow of the setting sun reflected the old monkey's old and tired face.

White Ape suddenly realized that the corpse in his arms was so heavy that it was almost crushed.

Howling in despair and crying in pain, it knelt in front of the wolf temple and kowtowed heavily to Lu Heng.

"Gee! Gee!"

Chapter 57

Under the setting sun, the white ape hugged the already cold corpse of the old monkey, and left desolately and sadly.

In front of the Wolf Temple, Lu Heng watched the white ape leave and sighed slightly.

Behind him, Xiaoai hesitated for a while, then whispered, "Master Wolf God..."

"Huh?" Lu Heng turned his head to look at her, and saw the little girl's face full of self-blame.

"It was Xiao Ai's dereliction of duty and let this monkey head disturb your practice. If I knew it earlier, I should have kicked it out from the beginning..."

The little girl's guilt-ridden self-criticism stunned Lu Heng for a moment, and then he laughed.

"That monkey head is your benefactor, you just treat it like this... you can't, you can't."

Lu Heng shook his head and laughed, and said, "But after such a big change, this monkey head should learn to calm down. From now on, you can be stricter in front of the wolf temple."

After speaking, Lu Heng looked in the direction of the camp of the Fengfeng Department outside the mountain.

From there, he could see half the sky reddened by the blazing flames.

At this time, the Grain Rain has passed, the spring is coming to an end, and the hot summer is approaching.More than five months have passed since the two priests of the Li nationality retreated to forge swords.

The casting of the Heavenly Tribulation Sword seems to have reached a critical point, that is, Lu Heng in the underground shrine can occasionally feel a little thunderous fire from the sword furnace outside the mountain when he is cultivating.

For the casting of this sword, most of Lu Heng's Tianlei sand was taken away.With such a huge amount of thunder sand as the foundation, it is not known whether it can be cast into the weapon that Lu Heng expected.

And if you think about it carefully, Lu Heng's retreat this time has lasted for a long time.

Since the end of the year, there has never been a thunderstorm in Hanyu Mountain.Although thunderstorms fall every month, there is no lightning strike among the thunder and lightning.

Although there is no bottleneck in the practice of receiving and guiding Tianlei.But the perception of xinxing cannot be tricked.

Perhaps it is also because Lu Heng's foundation of enlightenment is Tianlei, which is too special. His process of "opening the gate of heaven" is obviously much more difficult than that of ordinary demon cultivators.

Ordinary monsters have reached this level, they only need to accumulate enough monster power in their bodies, visualize the gate of heaven in their hearts, and enter the hall, and it will happen naturally, and it won't take too long.

But Lu Heng has stayed at this stage for nearly half a year.He even comprehended the special supernatural power of the incarnation of the primordial spirit during his deep cultivation, but the knock on the [Tianmen] seemed to be far away.

Vaguely, he had a deep feeling, as if his opportunity to become enlightened was not in this Hanyu Mountain, but outside the mountain...

In front of the Wolf Temple, Lu Heng stood for a long time without making a sound.

It wasn't until the moonlight rose and night fell that he sighed softly and disappeared from the Wolf Temple.

The Heavenly Tribulation Sword has been forged, and he can't leave at this time.

What's more, in this Hanyu Mountain, the white ape still needs to be taught.If Bai Yuan can really devote himself to cultivation because of this big change, then Lu Heng should also leave time for Xiao Ai to supervise this Bai Yuan's penance.

In Lu Heng's heart, he still liked this intelligent and quick-witted white ape.

There is an expectation for the white ape.

Therefore, after returning to the underground cultivation, Lu Heng did not completely settle down, but occasionally distracted himself to observe the outside situation.

It wasn't until he observed that the white ape had really changed, that he was relieved and settled down.

And after that day, the white ape who had been out of his mind had indeed undergone a huge change.

It carried the old monkey's body back to the mountain and found the monkey group. After handing the old monkey's body to the monkey group, the white ape left alone.

Since then, it has never gone back to the mountains to find the monkeys, and has completely lost contact with the monkeys.

Under the starry night, it came to the wolf temple alone, and kowtowed several times outside Xiaoai's room door.The sound of kowtowing woke up the sleeping Xiao Ai.

The little girl pushed open the door, and what she saw was a white ape kneeling in the moonlight with its forehead covered in blood.

"Chi! Chi!" the white ape yelled loudly, never before had he been so devout and respectful as he is now.

Xiao Ai naturally didn't make things difficult for it.

Under the moonlight, the young girl said to the kneeling white ape, "Since that's the case, you can practice with me from now on, and don't blame me for being strict."

Bai Yuan was overjoyed and wanted to kowtow again, but was stopped by Xiao Ai.

"Under the wolf god's sect, you can't kneel and worship," Xiaoai said indifferently, "if you enter the wolf god's sect, you should have arrogance and arrogance."

"From now on, you are not allowed to bow down to anyone. Even this world is not worthy of your kneeling. Only by straightening your waist and strengthening your Dao heart can you not insult the prestige of Lord Wolf God. "

Xiao Ai's words made Bai Yuan a little confused, it didn't quite understand the meaning of the words.But it nodded vigorously, deeply remembering these words in its heart.

From then on, Bai Yuan stayed in the Wolf Temple and practiced with Xiao Ai.

The room that Bai Yuan lived in before was cleaned again.

The white ape who used to be out of his mind and lose his mind after sitting in meditation for less than a quarter of an hour, now he has learned to calm his mind and can sit for about half an hour before he loses his mind.

And Xiao Ai beside it is naturally supervising the white ape while practicing.

But today's Xiao Ai is no longer as strict as before.

Because Bai Yuan himself understands the importance of cultivation, even if Xiao Ai doesn't say it, it still knows that it should concentrate on meditation.It's just that the monkey's nature escapes, even if it tries hard to restrain it, it is too difficult.

So after pondering, Xiao Ai arranged a daily plan for Bai Yuan.

Carrying water down the mountain, chopping firewood in the back mountain, cleaning the fallen leaves in front of the court every day, wiping away the dust in the temple... These chores are divided into many pieces by Xiao Ai one by one, requiring Bai Yuan to practice for a period of time After that, I went to do some chores.

It is not only to let it stop and rest when it feels boring in practice, but also to let it do these chores to relax, so as not to be tired because of idle rest.

Since then, the white ape has repeated such a life.

Every day I practice with the girl in the mountains, and in the spare time to complete the chores arranged by Xiaoai, it is fulfilling and simple.

This kind of life lasted for ten days.The white ape has always been pious and serious, and he no longer shows his monkey nature after persisting for a few days.

So Xiao Ai went down the mountain on the day of the market, went to the markets of Xifengbu and Shuisheng Village to exchange some cloth, and made two sets of clothes for the monkey head.

The white ape was very excited to wear human clothes for the first time.Jumping around the Wolf Temple in that gray blouse, yelling.

When Qianqian came to the Wolf Temple, she was startled when she saw a child in gray cloth sweeping the floor in front of the Wolf Temple.

It wasn't until the white ape turned around that Qianqian saw the white ape's face clearly and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Scared me."

She said, "I thought Lord Wolf God had recruited a new disciple."

Xiao Ai came out from the hall and explained, "Since the monkey head has started to practice, I made two sets of clothes for it. But now it seems that it is a monkey wearing human clothes, but it is a bit nondescript..."

Xiao Ai shook her head and said, "Why don't you wear it."

This sentence made the white ape back away in fright, clutching his new clothes vigorously, afraid that the girl would really pick it off.
