I'm not a god anymore

Chapter 15 Xiao Ai's Determination

Uncle Gong Jie's attitude is modest and respectful, completely different from the high-ranking Master Wu Zhu in the old people's stories.

The little girl who had witnessed everything was a little dazed.According to the stories of the old people, a monster like the Mountain God could only run away with his tail between his legs when he met Master Wu Zhu in the city.

If it wasn't for the remote location of Shuisheng Village and the protection of Master Wu Zhu, the white wolves in the mountains wouldn't dare to ravage and bully people... When the old people occasionally talk about the white wolves in the mountains, they always talk like this.

That's why the girl always thought that compared with the lofty Master Wu Zhu, the mountain god was weak.That's why she rushed here in such a hurry.

But now the girl found that the situation was different from what the old people said.

The respectful and solemn attitude of this Master Wu Zhu when he faced the Lord Mountain God is clearly the Lord Mountain God who is more powerful!Although she has never seen anything in the world, this kind of thing can still be seen at a glance.

Now seeing the friendly conversation between Lord Mountain God and Master Wu Zhu, the girl was completely sure about one thing.

That is, the old people in the village are talking nonsense!They don't understand the mountain god at all.

In the past, the old people said that the mountain god is a man-eating monster, entrenched in the mountains and oppressing mortals, forcing everyone to offer incense and sacrifices, and even cannibalism.

However, after the villagers offered her to the mountain god, the mountain god didn't want to eat her at all and let her go.And on her way back to the village, the mountain god also ordered the monkeys in the mountain to follow and take care of her all the way.

On the contrary, the adults in the village tied her up indiscriminately after seeing her return to the village, sent her back to the mountains, and scolded her for being greedy for life and afraid of death.In the end, it was Lord Shanshen who upheld justice for her and returned her innocence.

But now, Master Wu Zhu, whom the old people reverenced extremely, also seemed cautious in front of the mountain god, and never tried to subdue the demon as soon as they met.

How could such a mountain god be a ferocious monster that eats people!

The real mountain god is definitely not the image that the adults in the village say!

In the girl's heart, this idea was completely firmed up.

And after she decided to return to the village, she must find a way to eliminate everyone's misunderstanding of the mountain god, and let everyone understand that the mountain god is not as terrible as they imagined!

A decision was made in her heart, and the girl's eyes became firmer.

At this time, the conversation between Lu Heng and Uncle Jie also came to an end, and the black-robed witch Zhu bowed his hands and saluted, "Since that's the case, I'll go back and look for the demon seed. Thank God for opening the door."

The huge white wolf nodded calmly and did not leave anyone behind, "Uncle Wu Zhu please."

Watching the black-robed witch Zhu Yufeng rise up and disappear from sight, Lu Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The conversation with Uncle Jie didn't involve anything substantive.Because both of them were wary and did not dare to ask each other too many things, so what they talked about was basically related to the demon species that Gongshu Jie was chasing and killing.

This demon species caused chaos near Thousand Needles City, and after being defeated by Uncle Jie, it fled to this direction.Now that Uncle Jie has lost it, he can only feel that it is hidden near Hanyu Mountain.

Uncle Jie thought that after the demon fled nearby, he was frightened by the Jieyun over the Hanyu Mountains, and he didn't dare to appear, so he hid in the body of a living creature.

Next, he will pursue it for a long time near the Hanyu Mountains, so he confessed to Lu Heng in advance, hoping to obtain Lu Heng's permission.After Lu Heng agreed to pursue him in the mountains, Wu Zhu left, not daring to stay here any longer.

The conversation between the two was not long, but Lu Heng still had a rough image of the black-robed witch Zhu.This father-in-law, Jie, seems to have a different thinking circuit than ordinary people.

During the conversation, Uncle Gong gave Lu Heng the feeling that he was a bit like the kind of otaku who stays at home for a long time and is almost insulated from social interaction, which leads to a somewhat withdrawn personality and is not very good at communicating with strangers.

During the not-so-long conversation, although Uncle Jie didn't directly ask Lu Heng's whereabouts, but occasionally a sentence popped up, which seemed to be a topic terminator.

No wonder this guy is so cautious. It seems that he is also aware of his weakness of not being good at words. He is afraid that a certain sentence will accidentally offend Lu Heng?

Shaking his head, Lu Heng looked down at the girl at his feet.

During the conversation between him and Uncle Jie, the little girl was standing at his feet, motionless, very well-behaved.

Seeing Lu Heng bowing his head now, the girl quickly kowtowed to salute.But with a light flick of Lu Heng's front paw and a gust of breeze, the girl could no longer kneel down.

"You don't need to kneel in front of me," Lu Heng said, "you don't need to kneel in the future either."

The girl froze for a moment, feeling the invisible force in the air that restricted her actions, she nodded quickly.

Lu Heng began to ask, "Uncle Wu Zhu said that he met you outside the mountain, about an hour ago... That is to say, after you met Uncle Wu Zhu, you immediately went into the mountain to inform me Are you so enthusiastic... so afraid that I will be killed by uncle Wu Zhu?"

The girl nodded subconsciously, but shook her head quickly.

"No, no, Xiao Ai knows that the mountain god is very powerful, so he must..."

"Okay, don't wear a high hat," Lu Heng interrupted the girl, and said, "How did you learn these things at such a young age? Even if you really said something to make me angry, I will still eat you No way? There is not much meat, I’m afraid it won’t be enough to stuff my teeth.”

Lu Heng's words are quite true.

Since he used Tianlei to cultivate in the past six months, his size has become bigger and bigger.Originally standing only two meters tall, but now she is taller than that mountain temple, and her stature has almost doubled. This little girl is not enough for him to swallow in one gulp.

The girl smiled timidly and lowered her head, not daring to answer.

Seeing her like this, Lu Heng thought for a while and said, "It's a little surprising that you are not afraid of me. I thought everyone in Shuisheng Village was the same... How about this, you take out the Mountain God Order, and I will send it to you something."

Hearing Lu Heng's order, the girl quickly took off the mountain god's token and handed it to the mountain god respectfully.

However, Lu Heng didn't answer it. He just looked down at the small mountain god order, took a breath slowly, and then exhaled.A ray of incense and wish force went along with the wind, and he was saved into the mountain god's decree.

Seeing the light of the emerald green token flash, the feeling of the tentacles is no longer cold.The girl was a little surprised and didn't know what happened.

Lu Heng didn't explain, "You can go back, with this mountain god order on you, the wild beasts in the mountain will not attack you."

After speaking, regardless of the girl's reaction, Lu Heng dived into the ground again and continued to practice.The thunderbolt in his body hasn't been absorbed yet. Before, he just barely stabilized it from exploding. It will take several days to absorb it. There is no time to delay.

As for the wish power of the incense for the little girl, it is not so magical, but it can make the little girl less sick.This little girl was kind anyway, and Lu Heng didn't mind giving her some rewards.

Anyway, he can't use those incense and vows.

Chapter 16

After leaving the range of the mountain temple, Gong Shu Jie looked back again.

The huge vortex cloud above the main peak of the Hanyu Mountains was still slowly rotating, and there were terrifying thunder flashes from time to time, but no thunder fell.

For an extremely evil thing like a demon, the thunder cloud above Hanyu Mountain is an extremely terrifying reminder.

Even under the blue sky and broad daylight, this kind of monster has a great probability of attracting thunder from the sky.Now that it is so close to the Thunder Tribulation Vortex Cloud, even if the magic energy in its body leaks even a little bit, it will definitely connect to the Thunder Tribulation Vortex Cloud above the mountains, causing a chain reaction and directly attracting the thunder.

In order to hide its own demon energy, the demon must have sneaked into the body of a living creature to hide its breath.It probably thought that the thunder cloud above Hanyu Mountain was attracted by a certain evil spirit, as long as it hid in a living body and waited for the thunder cloud to dissipate, it could continue to escape.

But the demon species never imagined that the one in Hanyu Mountain was not a demon, but an ancient divine beast that controlled the sky thunder.This lightning calamity vortex cloud is not the punishment of heaven, but the foundation of the practice of the divine beast, and it will not disperse at all.

The behavior of the demon species pretending to be smart, on the contrary, it is a cocoon.Next, the demon seed must always hide in the possessed living body. Once it leaves, it will attract thunder from the sky.

This provided great convenience for the uncle Jie's pursuit.

Because the demon will possess the body, there is a high probability that it is a living person.And there are living people near the Hanyu Mountain Range, and only the Shuisheng Village outside the mountain.

Flying out of the mountains with the hot wind, Gongshu Jie landed directly in the field outside Shuishui Village, scaring the villagers who were working hard.

"Ai Laizi! Look quickly! A black-robed ghost is flying from the sky!" Wang Laoliu yelled in a low voice with horror, so frightened that Ai Laizi quickly covered his mouth.

"You don't want to die?!" Ai Zizi was so frightened that he was sweating all over, "How dare you say such nonsense?"

Although the two witnessed the scene of the black-robed man descending from the sky, they were far away, and logically speaking, they couldn't hear what Wang Laoliu was saying.But even so, Ai Zizi was still terrified by the nonsense of the person beside him.

He decided that he would never ask this old bachelor to help him again.This guy doesn't have a clue, he talks nonsense every day, and something will happen sooner or later!

After the uncle Jie landed on the ground, he glanced at Ai Zizi and Wang Laoliu from a distance, and said nothing, but said to the villagers in front of him, "I am Wu Zhu of Thousand Needles City. Where is it? I have something to look for him."

When the villagers heard that Master Wu Zhu had come, they became excited, and hurriedly took their father-in-law Jie to the village to find the village head.When Uncle Jie followed the villager into Shuisheng Village, a large group of people followed behind him.

Not only the villagers working in the fields outside the village came, but even the women washing clothes by the river surrounded them.It's just that everyone didn't dare to get close to Mr. Wu Zhu, but followed from a distance, wondering why Mr. Wu Zhu went to such a remote place as Shuisheng Village.

The old village chief who got the news had already walked to the entrance of the village to greet him in advance.

The moment he saw Uncle Jie, even though the two sides were still a few feet away, the old village chief bowed and saluted, "The village chief of Shuisheng Village has met Master Wu Zhu."

Uncle Jie nodded, and said straight to the point, "I came here after chasing a monster, and lost the whereabouts of that monster. I hope the village chief can cooperate with me to find out that monster, otherwise if the monster hides, it will become a disaster. , will surely harm one party.”

The old village chief secretly glanced at Uncle Jie's earlobe, and nodded quickly, "It's natural, it's natural. I'll follow Master Wu Zhu's orders."

Seeing the two little snakes hanging from his uncle Jie's earlobe, the old village chief confirmed Wu Zhu's identity in front of him.When he entered the city twice, he had seen Wu Zhu in the city from a distance, and knew that there were strange snakes hanging from Wu Zhu's earlobe.

What's more, even if it's not the real Wu Zhu... Everyone in the village said that the black-robed man flew from the sky, and he was a big shot who could fly into the sky and escape from the earth. .

At the request of Uncle Jie, the old village head called for all the people in the village to come.

Regardless of gender, regardless of age, even newborn babies must be brought out.In the end, the whole village gathered at the threshing ground at the entrance of the village. Everyone looked up at Master Wu Zhu on the loess platform, whispering and full of curiosity.

After talking with his son for a few words, the old village chief hurriedly walked up to the uncle Jie, and bowed his hands together, "Master Hui Wuzhu, all the villagers of Shuisheng Village are here, please give orders."

Uncle Jie, who was sitting on the stage with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and looked at the densely packed villagers below.

Without further explanation, he opened his eyes and locked on the villagers in the audience, and said, "Let them go up to the stage one by one and pass in front of me, and I'll check to see if the demon seed is possessed."

The old village head quickly nodded and said yes, and passed on the order.

So the villagers of Shuisheng Village stepped onto the mud platform one by one, and walked in front of the black-robed Wu Zhu anxiously.

When being watched by uncle Jie's magic eyes, everyone was nervous and uneasy, for fear that they would be designated as demon seeds in the next second.

But fortunately, this kind of thing didn't happen, until the last villager passed in front of Uncle Jie, and there was no such thing as the identification of the demon seed.

The villagers gathered under the stage, whispering.The village head and several clan elders looked at each other and looked at each other.

And the uncle Jie on the mud platform frowned, his eyes kept scanning the crowd.

"Village Chief, are you sure all the villagers in Shuisheng Village are here?"

"Uh... this..." The old village head looked embarrassed, "In fact, there is still a girl missing, but the girl..."

The village chief stopped here, as if he had something to hide.

Uncle Jie looked at the old man, his eyes were calm but implied pressure, "But it's okay to say."

Only then did the village chief seem to have confidence, and said in a low voice, "This matter is actually not a secret, but for my Shuisheng Village, it is a disaster. I want to teach Master Wu Zhu to know. There is actually a mountain god in Hanyu Mountain."

"80 years ago, a wealthy businessman passing by was rescued by a white wolf in the mountains. In order to repay his kindness, the wealthy businessman funded the construction of a mountain temple and set up incense for the white wolf. Since then, the white wolf has been entrenched in Hanyu Mountain for 80 years. In the name of the mountain god, we forced the villagers to offer sacrifices and pay tribute to him."

"Although we don't want to, we have to meet his request. We offer three sacrifices every year and festival. But half a year ago, White Wolf suddenly asked us for virgin boys and girls, otherwise the village would be destroyed. We There was no other way, and the virgin was decided by lottery, and the virgin was offered up in exchange for a moment of peace."

"But after the virgin was sacrificed, he was not killed by the white wolf. Afterwards, the white wolf even let the virgin return to the village and continue to live with us. We don't know whether the virgin is alive or dead now, but She lived in the village for half a year, and we were all cautious, not daring to offend her, and even more afraid of provoking the white wolf in the mountain to go down the mountain to eat people, so...so..."

The village chief said hesitantly and fearfully, "The girl is not here now, and I haven't found her whereabouts in the village. It may be that when you arrived, Master Wu Zhu, the girl was afraid of your power and fled into the mountains. Ask the White Wolf for help."

The words of the village chief carefully told the story of a mountain spirit and monster occupying the mountains and defrauding the villagers.

Such stories are actually not uncommon.Because many spirits and monsters in remote areas will cause disasters because they are left unchecked and suppressed. There are even vicious monsters that raise a village of living people to feed on blood.

Uncle Jie has been entrusted with the position of Wuzhu for nearly a hundred years, and he also killed similar demons.

However, the white wolf that the village head mentioned...

Uncle Jie looked into the depths of Hanyu Mountain, and his brows frowned even tighter.There, the swirling vortex clouds obscured the skylight, and the terrifying thunderous aura surged in the mountains and fields. Even the Shuisheng Village, which is far away, can clearly feel the terrifying aura.

"Are you sure that the white wolf asked you for virgin blood?" the uncle Jie asked seriously.

The village chief nodded repeatedly, "There is no lie! The white wolf asked us for a virgin, otherwise the village will be destroyed. All the villagers in Shuisheng Village know about this, and the villain will never dare to hide it."

After finishing speaking, the village chief stared at the black-robed Wu Zhu in front of him, his eyes full of anticipation.

But at this moment, a little girl's voice sounded from far outside the village.

"Nonsense! They're talking nonsense! They're talking nonsense!"

The sudden yelling immediately attracted everyone's attention.The villagers looked back and saw a girl running towards here panting on the road outside the village.

The girl ran and yelled, "Master Mountain God doesn't eat people at all! They are all lies! They are liars!"

The sudden appearance of the girl scared the villagers back several steps quickly—even though the girl hadn't entered the village yet.

Among the villagers, someone shouted, "She came out of the mountain! She came out of the wolf demon! This witch attracted the wolf demon!"

This terrified shout instantly spread fear among the crowd.The villagers all screamed in horror and backed away.

"The wolf demon is here! The wolf demon is here!"

"The wolf demon has gone down the mountain!"

"Master Wu Zhu, help me!"

"Master Wu Zhu, help me!"

The villagers fled to the other side of the mud platform, all knelt down in fear, and kowtowed to the black robe Wu Zhu on the mud platform, crying and begging.

Uncle Jie watched the girl walk into the village, and waved his hands slowly, "Don't panic, it's fine."

The voice of the black-robed witch Zhu was not loud, but it seemed to have a calming force, and the panicked villagers gradually calmed down.

In the end, at the entrance of the village that was so quiet that only the whimpering of the wind could be heard, the little girl walked into the village slowly. Facing the villagers who stared at her with hatred and fear, and the black-robed witch Zhu on the mud platform, the girl did not hesitate. Stage fright said seriously.

"You guys are lying! The mountain god doesn't eat people at all, and I'm not a monster!"
