I’ll Quit Being a God

Chapter 15 Xiao Ai’s Determination

Gongshu Jie's attitude was humble and respectful, completely different from the aloof Master Wu Zhu described by the old people.

The little girl who witnessed everything was a little stunned. According to the stories told by the old people, monsters like the Mountain God could only run away with their tails between their legs when they encountered Master Wu Zhu in the city.

If it were not for the remote location of Shuisheng Village and the protection of Master Wu Zhu, the white wolves in the mountains would not dare to wreak havoc and bully others... When the old people occasionally talk about the white wolves in the mountains, they always make this argument.

So the girl always thought that Lord Shan Shen was weak compared to the superior Master Wu Zhu. This was also the reason why she rushed here in a hurry.

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

The kind of respectful and solemn attitude this Master Wu Zhu showed when facing the Mountain God, it was clear that the Mountain God was more powerful! Although she has never seen much of the world, she can still see this kind of thing at a glance.

Now that she saw the friendly conversation between the mountain god and the wizard, the girl was completely sure of one thing.

That means the old people in the village are all talking nonsense! They don't understand Lord Mountain God at all.

In the past, the old people said that the mountain god was a man-eating monster who lived in the mountains and oppressed mortals, forcing everyone to offer incense and sacrifices, and could also eat people.

However, after the villagers dedicated her to the mountain god, the mountain god didn't want to eat her at all and even 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.

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

But now, Master Wu Zhu, whom the old people respected so much, was cautious in front of the mountain god, and did not start to succumb to 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!

This idea was completely confirmed in the girl's heart.

And she decided that after returning 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 scary as they thought!

Having made a decision in her heart, the girl's eyes became firm.

At this time, the conversation between Lu Heng and Gongshu Jie also came to an end. The black-robed wizard Zhu bowed his hands and said, "In that case, I will go back to search for the demon seed. Thank God for opening the door of convenience."

The huge white wolf nodded calmly without leaving anyone behind, "Uncle Wu Zhu invites you."

Lu Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the black-robed wizard Zhu Zhu rise up in the wind and disappear from sight.

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

This demon was causing trouble near Thousand Needles City, and after being defeated by Gongshu Jie, he fled in this direction. Now Gongshu Jie has lost the pursuit, and can only feel that the thing is hiding near Hanyu Mountain.

Gongshu Jie thought that after the demon species escaped nearby, he was frightened by the calamity clouds over the Hanyu Mountains and did not dare to appear, so he hid in the body of a living creature.

Next, he would pursue a long search near the Hanyu Mountains, so he told Lu Heng in advance and wanted to get Lu Heng's permission. After Lu Heng agreed to his pursuit in the mountains, Wu Zhu left, not daring to stay here any longer.

The conversation between the two didn't last long, but Lu Heng still had a rough impression of the black-robed witch Zhu. This uncle Jie's thinking circuit seems to be a little different from ordinary people.

During the conversation, Gongshu Jie gave Lu Heng the feeling that he was a bit like the kind of otaku who stayed at home for a long time and was almost insulated from social interaction, resulting in a somewhat withdrawn personality and not very good at communicating with strangers.

In the conversation, which was not long, although Gongshu Jie did not directly ask about Lu Heng's background, he occasionally said something that seemed to be a topic ender.

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

After shaking his head, Lu Heng lowered his head and looked at the girl at his feet.

While he was talking with his uncle Jie, the little girl stood at his feet, motionless and extremely well-behaved.

Now seeing Lu Heng looking down, the girl quickly kowtowed. But Lu Heng's front paws flicked, and a breeze blew by, and the girl could no longer kneel down.

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

The girl was stunned for a moment, feeling the invisible force in the air that restricted her movements, and nodded quickly.

Lu Heng then asked, "Uncle Wu Zhu said that he met you outside the mountain, about an hour ago... In other words, after you met Uncle Wu Zhu, you immediately went into the mountain to inform me. Yes? You are very enthusiastic...are you so afraid that I will be killed by my uncle Wu Zhu?"

The girl nodded subconsciously, but quickly shook her head.

"No, no, Xiao Ai knows that Lord Mountain God has extraordinary powers, he must..."

"Okay, stop wearing your hat," Lu Heng interrupted the girl and said, "How did you learn these things at such a young age? Even if you really say something to make me angry, I will still eat you. No? I don’t even have a few taels of meat, I’m afraid it won’t even be enough to stuff my teeth.”

What Lu Heng said was quite true.

Since he used Tianlei to practice in the past six months, his body has become bigger and bigger. She originally stood only two meters tall, but now she was taller than the mountain temple, and her stature had almost doubled. This little girl was not big enough for him to swallow in one gulp.

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

Seeing her like this, Lu Heng thought for a while and said, "But you are not afraid of me, which is a bit surprising. I thought everyone in you Shuisheng Village was the same... Well, you take out the Mountain God Token and I will give it to you. Order something.”

After hearing Lu Heng's instructions, the girl quickly took off the mountain god's order and handed it to the mountain god respectfully.

However, Lu Heng did not answer it. He just looked down at the small Mountain God Token, took a slow breath, and then exhaled. A wisp of incense and wishing force followed the wind and was absorbed into the mountain god's order by him.

The emerald green token flashed, and the tentacles no longer felt cold. The girl was a little surprised and didn't know what happened.

Lu Heng did not explain, "You can go back. With this mountain god's order on you, the wild beasts in the mountains will not attack you."

After saying that, regardless of the girl's reaction, Lu Heng dived underground again and continued practicing. The power of thunder in his body has not been absorbed yet. Before, he could barely hold it steady without exploding. It will take several days to absorb it, so there is no time to delay.

As for the wisp of incense and wish power given to the little girl, it's not that magical, it just makes the little girl less sick. This little girl was kind-hearted after all, and Lu Heng didn't mind giving her a reward.

He wouldn't be able to use those incense wishes anyway.

Chapter 16 Witch

After leaving the mountain temple, Gongshu Jie looked back again.

The huge vortex cloud above the main peak of the Hanyu Mountains was still rotating slowly, with terrifying lightning flashes from time to time, but no thunder struck down.

For an extremely evil creature like the Demon Seed, the thunder vortex cloud over Hanyu Mountain is an extremely terrifying reminder of death.

Even under the blue sky and white sun, this demon species has a high probability of attracting thunder from the sky. Now that he is so close to the Thunder Tribulation Vortex Cloud, even if the demonic energy in his body leaks even slightly, it will definitely connect to the Thunder Tribulation Vortex Cloud above the mountains, causing a chain reaction and directly attracting the thunder from the sky.

In order to hide its own demonic energy, the demonic species must have sneaked into the body of a living creature to hide its aura. It probably thought that the thunder vortex cloud over Hanyu Mountain was caused by some evil spirit being punished by heaven. As long as it hid in a living object and waited until the thunder vortex cloud dissipated, it could continue to escape.

But that demon species would never have imagined that what was in Hanyu Mountain was not an evil spirit, but an ancient divine beast that controlled the sky thunder. This Thunder Tribulation Vortex Cloud is not a divine punishment, but the foundation of the divine beast's cultivation, and it will not dissipate at all.

The devil's behavior of trying to be clever actually makes it self-defeating. Next, the demon must always hide in the possessed living object. Once it leaves, it will attract thunder from the sky.

This provided great convenience for Gongshu Jie's pursuit.

Because the demon will possess him, most likely it will be a living person. And the only living people near the Hanyu Mountains are the aquatic villages outside the mountains.

Riding the hot wind and flying out of the mountain, Gongshu Jie landed directly in the fields outside Shuisheng Village, scaring the working villagers out of their wits.

"Ai Zizi! Look! A black-robed ghost is flying from the sky!" Wang Laoliu shouted in a low voice with a look of horror on his face, which scared Ai Zizi and quickly covered his mouth.

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

Although the two of them witnessed the scene of the black-robed man descending from the sky, they were far away from each other. Logically speaking, they could not hear what Wang Laoliu was saying here. But even so, Ai Zizi was still frightened by the nonsense of the person next to him.

He decided that he would never hire this old bachelor to help him again. This guy has no control over his words. He talks nonsense every day. Sooner or later something will happen!

After Gongshu Jie landed, he glanced at Ai Zizi and Wang Laoliu from a distance, without saying anything. He just said to the villagers in front of him, "I am Qianzhen City Wu Zhu, the elder of this village. Where is he? I have something to ask him about."

When the villagers heard that Master Wu Zhu had arrived, they immediately became excited and quickly took Gongshu Jie to the village to find the village chief. When Gongshu Jie followed the villager into Shuisheng Village, a large group of people were already behind him.

Not only the villagers working in the fields outside the village came, but also the women washing clothes by the river all gathered around. But no one dared to get close to Master Wu Zhu, and just followed him from a distance, wondering why Master Wu Zhu went to such a remote place in Shuisheng Village.

The old village chief, who received the news, had already arrived at the entrance of the village to greet him.

The moment he saw Gongshu Jie, even though they were still several feet apart, the old village chief bowed and saluted, "The village chief of Shuisheng Village has met Mr. Wu Zhu."

Uncle Jie nodded and said straight to the point, "I came here in search of a demon species, but lost the whereabouts of that demon species. I hope the village chief can cooperate with me to find out the demon species, otherwise it will be a disaster if the demon species hides. , it will definitely harm one party."

The old village chief secretly glanced at Gongshu Jie's earlobe and nodded quickly, "This is natural, this is natural. I will all obey Master Wu Zhu's orders."

Seeing the two small snakes hanging on Uncle Jie's earlobes, the old village chief confirmed the identity of Wu Zhu in front of him. When he entered the city twice, he saw Wu Zhu in the city from a distance and knew that Wu Zhu had strange snakes hanging from his earlobes.

What's more, what if he is not the real Wu Zhu... People in the village say that this man in black robes flew from the sky and is a big shot who can fly into the sky and escape from the earth. Even if he is not the real Wu Zhu, he is not something that their aquatic village can afford to offend. .

At Gongshu Jie's request, the old village chief summoned everyone in the village.

Regardless of gender, young or old, even newborn babies must be brought out. Finally, the whole village gathered at the threshing floor at the entrance of the village. Everyone looked up at Master Wu Zhu on the loess mud platform, whispering and full of curiosity.

After the old village chief chatted with his son for a few words, he quickly walked to Uncle Jie's side, bowed his hands, and said, "Go back to Master Wu Zhu. All the villagers in Shuisheng Village are here. Please give me your instructions."

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 directly opened his Dharma Eyes and locked the villagers in the audience, and said, "Let them come on stage one by one and pass in front of me. I will check whether the demon species is possessed by them."

The old village chief nodded in agreement and passed on the order.

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

When being watched by Gongshu Jie's dazzling eyes, everyone was nervous and uneasy, fearing that they would be designated as demons in the next second.

But fortunately, this did not happen. Until the last villager passed in front of Gongshu Jie, the demon species was not identified.

The villagers gathered under the stage and whispered. The village chief and several clan elders looked at each other, looking at each other.

The uncle Jie on the mud platform frowned and kept scanning the crowd.

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

"Uh... well..." the old village chief looked embarrassed, "Actually, there is still a girl missing, but that girl..."

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

Uncle Jie looked at the old man, his eyes calm but implying pressure, "But it doesn't matter."

The village chief seemed to have gained confidence and said in a low voice, "This matter is actually not a secret, but for our Shuisheng Village, it is a disaster. I would like to teach Master Wu Zhu to know that next to this Shuisheng Village There is actually a mountain god in Hanyu Mountain."

"Eighty years ago, a passing wealthy businessman 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 opened incense for the white wolf. For the next eighty years, the white wolf has been entrenched in Hanyu Mountain. , forcing us and other villagers to sacrifice and pay tribute to him in the name of the mountain god."

"Although we don't want to, we still have to comply with his request. We offer three animal sacrifices every new year and festival. But half a year ago, the white wolf suddenly asked us for boys and girls, otherwise the village will be destroyed. We There was no other way, so the virgin was finally chosen by drawing lots, and the virgin was sacrificed in the hope of gaining temporary peace."

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

The village chief said hesitantly and fearfully, "The girl is not here now, and I have not been able to find her whereabouts in the village. Maybe when Master Wu Zhu arrived, the girl was afraid of your power and had already fled into the mountains. I asked White Wolf for help."

The village chief's words carefully told the story of a mountain spirit and monster entrenched in the mountains and deceiving the villagers.

This kind of story is actually not uncommon. This is because many monsters and monsters in remote areas will cause trouble if they are not controlled and suppressed. There are even ferocious monsters that keep a village of living people in captivity for blood food.

Gongshu Jie had been granted the title of Witch Zhu for nearly a hundred years, and he had also killed similar demons.

However, the white wolf the village chief mentioned...

Gongshu Jie looked into the depths of Hanyu Mountain and frowned even more tightly. There, the swirling vortex clouds obscured the skylight, and the terrifying thunderous aura surged in the mountains and fields. Even the aquatic village far away could clearly feel the terrifying aura.

"Are you sure that the white wolf is asking for the virgin's blood food from you personally?" Uncle Jie asked seriously.

The village chief nodded repeatedly, "It's absolutely true! The white wolf asked us personally for the virgin, otherwise it would destroy the village. All the villagers in Shuisheng Village know this, and the villain will never dare to hide it."

After saying that, the village chief looked at the black-robed witch Zhu in front of him, his eyes full of expectation.

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

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

The sudden shouting instantly attracted everyone's attention. The villagers looked back and saw a panting girl running towards them on the road outside the village.

The girl ran and shouted, "The mountain god doesn't eat people at all! Everything they tell is lies! They are liars!"

The sudden appearance of the girl scared the villagers back several steps even though the girl had not yet entered the village.

Someone among the villagers shouted, "She came out of the mountains! She came out from the wolf demon! This witch attracted the wolf demon!"

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

"The wolf demon is coming! The wolf demon is coming!"

"The wolf demon has come down the mountain!"

"Master Wu Zhu, help me!"

"Master Wu Zhu, help me!"

The villagers fled to the other side of the mud platform. They all knelt down in fear, kowtowed to the black-robed wizard on the mud platform, cried and begged.

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

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

Finally, at the entrance of the village, which was so quiet that only the whimpering of the wind could be heard, the little girl slowly walked into the village. Facing the villagers who stared at her with hatred and fear, as well as the black-robed witches on the mud platform, the girl did not hesitate. He said seriously with stage fright.

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