Chapter 14: Afraid of Both Ends
Bai Lang's rejection did not go beyond Gongshu Jie's expectations.
He knew that the divine beast in front of him didn't care about the so-called mountain god's position at all.
Although in this world, there are indeed some demon cultivators who are willing to guard the water and soil of a mountain range, become the god of a mountain or a water, receive some incense, and practice by relying on the spiritual energy of the earth's veins. But the mythical beast in front of him cannot be included in this.
The thunder of heaven that practitioners fear and fear is only the foundation of their practice.
The fateful catastrophe that ordinary people worry about is just a passing thing for these mythical beasts that have existed in ancient times.
He didn't offer this piece of jade to please or test him, just because the only thing he could use to get close to him was this Jingshan Talisman. Since the divine beast wouldn't be taken away, there was nothing he could do.
However, after taking back the jade pendant and looking at the huge white wolf in front of him, Gongshu Jie had no better words to say.
He wanted to ask the mythical beast in front of him why he wanted to open an incense burner here, but he was afraid that he would violate a taboo by asking rashly.
I want to talk about the past with the mythical beast and get close to him, but I am worried that I will be self-defeating and offend the mythical beast because I am not good at words.
So Gongshu Jie stood still, not knowing what to say, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into a strange deadlock.
Fortunately, someone helped him out at this time.
In the distant mountain forest, there was a young girl running in the mountains, panting rapidly.
Although the distance was still far away, both Lu Heng, the mountain god, and Gongshu Jie, who was highly skilled in cultivation, were aware of it.
One man and one wolf looked in that direction at the same time, and Gongshu Jie was a little surprised - this breath seemed familiar?
As a mountain god, Lu Heng knew better who was coming. Because the Mountain God Token, which carries some of his power, is now on the girl's body.
Lu Heng sensed it slightly, and the mountain god's power was activated directly. The little girl who was running quickly in the forest suddenly felt that the scene around her had changed dramatically. All the trees on both sides were falling backwards so fast that they even turned into afterimages. Everything in her field of vision was spinning rapidly, and the colorful sights completely confused her eyes.
The girl stared at this magical scene with wide eyes. Before she could react, she found that all the afterimages had disappeared. She was standing in front of a huge white wolf. Behind the white wolf was the familiar mountain temple.
The girl stared in shock, almost suspecting that she was hallucinating, "Shan... Lord Mountain God?"
She was clearly far away from the mountain temple, so why did she suddenly arrive there in an instant? Could it be that the mountain god brought her here?
The girl looked shocked, while the giant wolf nodded calmly and said, "It's me."
He lowered his head, looked at the little girl in front of him, and asked, "You came to the mountains in a hurry, but what emergency happened in the village?"
Lu Heng's question made the girl come back to her senses and remember the purpose of her trip.
Her expression was a little anxious, "Sorry, Lord Mountain God, a Master Wu Zhu came from outside the mountain. He said he came here to pursue the demon! Lord Mountain God, you... do you think he came to find you?"
The girl's anxious expression was not fake, she was indeed concerned about Lu Heng's safety, and she didn't even care that her words would offend the mountain god who was a monster.
However, when she said these words, Lu Heng did not react, but Gongshu Jie beside him was so frightened that the hairs on his body stood up.
"There must be a misunderstanding about this!" Uncle Jie was so anxious that he quickly interrupted the girl, fearing that the girl would say something fatal again.
"Shangshen Mingjian, I really came here just to pursue the demon species that escaped from a city. I definitely didn't come here for you, Shangshen. This is a misunderstanding!"
Uncle Jie is not afraid of death, but he doesn't want to die in an unknown way.
He finally got closer to the Hanyu Mountain God and made the atmosphere a little more harmonious. If he had a conflict with the mountain god due to a misunderstanding at this time and suffered an unreasonable disaster, he would be so depressed that he would vomit blood.
The girl in front of the giant wolf was stunned for a moment by Gongshu Jie's explanation.
The girl turned around and realized that standing not far behind her was Mr. Wu Zhu in black robes.
The girl was so frightened that she screamed repeatedly with a look of fear on her face...she...she actually said those words in front of Master Wu Zhu? Master Wu Zhu is actually always around? Did you hear what she said?
And Master Wu Zhu has actually found Lord Mountain God? !
The girl's face turned pale and she backed away repeatedly. She was so frightened that she didn't even hear clearly what Uncle Jie said.
Among the two and one wolf, Lu Heng was probably the calmest.
He stretched out his huge paws, gently pulled the little girl to his side, calmed the girl's panic, and said, "Don't be afraid, Uncle Wu Zhu has no ill intentions. He's not here to cause trouble for me, Xiao Ai, you don't have to Worry."
Seeing that the little girl calmed down a little because of his comfort, Lu Heng looked at the black-robed Wu Zhu not far away and said.
"The girl in the mountains doesn't know etiquette, which makes Wu Zhu laugh."
Lu Heng's words made Uncle Jie sigh in relief. He cupped his hands and said, "It doesn't matter. This girl's innocent heart and sincerity are worthy of praise. It is a good thing for God to have such a believer."
After seeing Lu Heng's attitude towards the little girl, Uncle Jie finally let go of his worries.
Although this mythical beast has a mysterious origin and is majestic, it is so caring to an ordinary human child. It is probably not the most ferocious and vicious type among the mythical beasts.
But this is not surprising. After all, for a divine beast, it is willing to condescend to come to the Hanyu Mountain to open incense and bless a place. No matter what kind of cause and effect, it must be close and easy-going by nature.
After all, among the divine beasts, the evil beasts that will burn thousands of miles of land if they disagree with each other and eat thousands of people if they are not happy are the mainstream.
It's just that guessing is one thing, and actually doing it is another. Even though he knew at the beginning that the divine beast in front of him was not fierce, Gongshu Jie was always nervous. Now that the guess has been verified, the big stone in Gongshu Jie's heart has been put down.
The divine beast in front of him is so easy-going, there should be no need to worry about him going down the mountain and poisoning the world.
But even so, it does not mean that Gongshu Jie dares to neglect the divine beast in front of him casually. After he decided to go down the mountain, he immediately informed the witches and priests in several big cities near the Hanyu Mountains, and everyone shared what they had.
In any case, Huotong Country cannot offend the divine beast in the mountain and must treat it with caution.
The other party is a legendary ancient beast. Even if he behaves easy-going, once he angers him, it will definitely be a disaster.
Moreover, this beast has the power to control the thunder of heaven, and even the heavenly calamity is driven by it. This kind of divine power is simply unheard of and unseen. I am afraid that among the ancient beasts, this god who calls himself Lu Heng is also the strongest one.
Gong Shujie thought so, and his expression became more serious. He did not dare to be disrespectful in his behavior and decided to leave a good impression on this beast.
