I’ll Quit Being a God

This time, everyone shook their heads and started talking at random.

"No, no, that woman is from outside."

"I was picked up by Ai Changsheng, and then he lived in the village..."

"I contracted lung disease two years ago and died..."

"You are young and have done evil..."

The villagers' eloquent stories allowed Gongshu Jie to roughly outline the image of a woman in distress.

He was educated and probably from a decent background, but he had a natural birthmark on his face and looked ugly. For unknown reasons, she ended up living in this remote mountain and almost froze to death in the snow. She was picked up and brought home by a kind-hearted young man from a mountain village. After that, she married the young man who rescued her and settled here.

But she died of illness two years ago, and the young man who saved her disappeared three years ago. The couple left only one daughter, who now lives with the young man's brother and his family.

After roughly understanding the cause and effect, Gongshu Jie stopped everyone's conversation and asked the old village chief to dismiss the villagers gathered at the entrance of the village. In the end, only a few elders in the village and the village chief's children were left.

The old village chief looked at Mr. Wu Zhu, and after much hesitation, he asked cautiously.

"Master Wu Zhu, have you found the demon seed?" The old village chief has not forgotten this matter.

Although they were most afraid of the white wolf in the mountains, they were also afraid of the demon species mentioned by the black-robed wizard Zhu. The old village chief was really worried that Mr. Wu Zhu would forget about the demon species because of the incident with the White Wolf God.

However, Gongshu Jie obviously did not forget this matter. He looked at Hanyu Mountain in the distance and said.

"Either the demonic seed is hidden very deep and has been integrated into the soul of the possessed person, so that the demonic energy does not appear. Or I have lost track of it and it is not here at all."

"In short, I will stay here for a while. I will not leave until I confirm that the demon species is not there, so you don't need to worry."

"The only thing you have to remember is that you are not allowed to spread rumors to slander the White Wolf God in the mountains in the future. The Wolf God is broad-minded and doesn't care about you, but you can't knowingly do it, understand!"

Gongshu Jie's words were so harsh that the clan elders were frightened and nodded repeatedly, "We understand, we understand."

Gongshu Jie nodded with satisfaction and walked towards the outside of the village.

"Okay, you guys should disperse. Just do whatever you have to do. As long as I'm here, that demon can't turn the world upside down."

After saying that, Gongshu Jie disappeared from the sight of the villagers, without giving the elders in the village a chance to get close to him.

Several old people looked at each other, and someone asked, "What should we do next..."

The old village chief paused the crutch in his hand with a serious expression, "Of course I listen to Master Wu Zhu! The villagers are prohibited from spreading rumors to slander the Wolf God."

"In addition, the Double Ninth Festival is coming soon. We must prepare carefully for this harvest sacrifice. We must not fool around like before."

"Since the Wolf God is not a monster, we should sincerely worship him. Go back and tell everyone that from today on, every household must offer incense to the Wolf God every day. We must not neglect it!"

Chapter 19 A great thing

In the next few days, Gongshu Jie stayed near Shuisheng Village to search for the demon species.

But he does not live in the village and has no contact with the villagers.

During the day, he patrolled outside the village and in the mountains, using his feet to cover every inch of land inside and outside the aquatic village, looking for every place where the evil spirit might remain.

At night, just find a clean place to sit down, close your eyes and relax, breathe in the wind and drink the dew.

As a witch Zhu, he has long ceased to live in the world and does not need to eat or drink.

As for the ugly widow who died two years ago, although he was curious, Huotongguo believed in the god of fire and advocated cremation. After death, people were cremated and their ashes were scattered into the rivers.

Apart from knowing that the ugly widow's surname was Mu, I couldn't ask for any more useful information.

He also visited the mountain temple in the mountains twice, and indeed saw the inscriptions left under the altar when the mountain temple was built.

However, he failed to see the White Wolf again during these two visits. The divine beast seemed to be still cultivating, and only the huge vortex cloud above Hanyu Mountain was slowly circling, and it seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.

The villagers are getting busy. The Double Ninth Festival is approaching, which is the time for harvest sacrifices.

Not only do they have to harvest the crops in the fields, they also need to prepare sacrifices for the Wolf God. Because of the village chief's order, this year's sacrifices cannot be as casual as in previous years and need to be sincere, so the villagers are much busier than in previous years.

And Gongshu Jie's stay here has almost reached its limit.

As a city witch Zhu, in charge of the fire god's incense sacrifice, during a major festival like the Double Ninth Festival, he must rush back to Thousand Needles City to host this year's harvest sacrifice.

As for the demon species, after traveling around for the past few days, Gongshu Jie has confirmed that the demon species is not here. The reason why he stayed still was simply because he wanted to see Lu Heng before leaving.

But there was always peace in Hanyu Mountain, the wolf god had not left seclusion, and Gongshu Jie could only sigh about this.

But on September 5th, a flock of birds suddenly flew away in Hanyu Mountain, and a long wolf howl came from far away. In the sky, swirling clouds were surging and thunder was powerful. Although no thunder struck down, it seemed that even the calamity clouds in the sky were rejoicing at Lu Heng's release from seclusion.

"Phew...it's finally out."

After emerging from the ground, Lu Heng returned to the surface again. The feeling of being down to earth made him feel happy.

However, after leaving seclusion, Lu Heng suddenly discovered a strange thing.

"Huh? Why did the incense power in this mountain temple suddenly increase?"

Lu Heng, who was aware of this, couldn't understand it.

When he was repairing the demon body before, almost all the 80 years of incense and wish power accumulated by the wolf demon were consumed by him. The remaining incense and wish power were all given to the girl named Xiao Ai.

Logically speaking, there should be no incense and wish power in the mountain temple.

The agreement between the wolf demon and the villagers requires the villagers to offer an incense stick to the wolf demon clay sculpture in their home according to the number of the twelve earthly branches, that is, every twelve days. It's not the next time to worship incense yet. Logically speaking, there will be no incense in the mountain temple.

But after Lu Heng sensed it for a while, he discovered that not only was the incense and wish power accumulated in the mountain temple, but there was even a lot of it! It almost equals what the wolf demon has collected in the past six months.

Lu Heng was a little confused. After careful sensing, he found that all the incense and wishing powers came from the aquatic village at the foot of the mountain.

He was even more shocked.

What happened to these villagers? Why have you suddenly become so religious?

The wolf demon used coercion and inducement, used various methods frequently, and even used the power of the mountain god to ensure the Shuisheng Village's eighty-year harvest, but it could only get a little incense.

Now that he, Lu Heng, has done nothing, why have these villagers suddenly become religious? Could it be that some disaster had occurred in the village, and these villagers were so sick that they sought medical treatment and wanted to ask Lu Heng for protection?

But Lu Heng checked these incense wishes and found that these incense wishes did not contain such a strong desire to plead.

These villagers were simply worshiping him.

That's a very strange situation.

Lu Heng thought about it carefully and felt that this matter was probably related to the black-robed wizard Zhu Gongshu Jie.

While cultivating underground, Lu Heng also felt Uncle Jie entering the mountain twice. It's just that Lu Heng didn't want to meet Wu Zhu again, lest his showy nature be seen by the other party, so he never showed up.

Now five days have passed, and the Double Ninth Festival is approaching. In this world, the Double Ninth Festival is a major harvest festival, almost as important as the Spring Festival on New Year's Eve.

As a city witch, Uncle Jie must have rushed back to Thousand Needles City to preside over the sacrifice. Even if Lu Heng was confused, it would be impossible to find the other party to test... uh...

Faintly, Lu Heng suddenly felt a hot breath coming from outside the mountain and approaching here quickly.

Immediately afterwards, Gongshu Jie's clear voice echoed in the mountains.

"Welcome to the gods to come out of seclusion."

Not long after, a figure in black robe came from outside the mountain and landed in front of the mountain temple.

The black-robed shaman Zhu smiled with a smile on his face, raised his hands and saluted, "Uncle Jie has seen God."

"..." The huge white wolf looked at him silently, and after a long silence, he slowly said, "Uncle Wu Zhu hasn't returned to Thousand Needles City yet? The Double Ninth Festival is coming soon. ah."

Uncle Jie smiled and said, "Actually, I am preparing to go back today, but I never thought that I would meet Shang Shen coming out of seclusion before setting off. It seems that my fate with Shang Shen is not over yet."

Lu Heng looked at him silently and asked, "With Wu Zhu's strength, how many days will it take to get to Thousand Needles City from here?"

"Six days," Gongshu Jie stood up straight and said, "but if we travel against the wind day and night, we can reach it in three days."

...Well, you are really persistent.

Lu Heng shook his head helplessly and said, "Uncle Wu Zhu has been waiting for me for so long, but he has something to ask of me? Has the absconding demon species been found?"

"The demon species has not been found yet, but I have checked inside and outside Shuisheng Village and confirmed that the demon species is not here," Gongshu Jie said, "But the demon species is weird and unpredictable, and there may be some kind of secret technique that I don't know about. 1 If God is free, he can also pay attention.”

"Okay, this is a simple task, I will pay attention to it," Lu Heng looked at Uncle Jie in front of him, thought for a while, and said, "The temple is a poor family, and there is no tea reception, no tables, chairs... So, I There is a group of monkeys in the mountains who can make fruit wine. If Uncle Wu Zhu doesn't mind, I can ask them to bring the wine."

Uncle Jie had a smile on his face, "I've heard of the name of Hou'er Wine, but I've never tasted it. Now I'm really lucky."

"Okay, then let me leave this place."

Lu Heng lightly tapped the ground with his front paws, using the power of the mountain god to pass the order to the monkeys in the mountain, then turned and walked towards the top of the main peak behind the mountain temple.

Lu Heng took a step forward and shrunk to an inch. He and his uncle Jie appeared in the forest dozens of feet away. Taking another step, the surrounding scenery changed again. One person and one wolf were already standing on the top of the main peak of Hanyu Mountain.

Lu Heng stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the mountains and rivers at his feet, and said.

"Although there are no pavilions, pavilions, stone tables and chairs here, the view is wide and you can overlook the inside and outside of Hanyu Mountain, and you can see how small the mountains are. Please wait for a moment, Monkey Wine will arrive shortly."

Gongshu Jie stood on the top of the mountains, with his feet on the bluestone, the mountain breeze blowing on his face, smiling and stroking his hands, "Great kindness."

He sat on the ground and looked at the huge white wolf in front of him. He felt more and more that this beast was indeed extraordinary and was significantly different from the ferocious and cruel beasts in the legend.

It might be a great thing for Huotong to have this mythical beast.

Chapter 20 Lord of Heavenly Tribulation

The huge thunder and lightning vortex cloud is still suspended in the sky, rotating slowly.

Within the swirling clouds, there were flashes of thunder from time to time, but there was no roar of thunder or real thunder falling from the sky. It seemed to be just ordinary rain clouds.

But under this thunder disaster, even Shinto shamans like Gongshu Jie felt a little pressure. If it were an ordinary evil spirit, he would have been so frightened that he would have been trembling and unable to move.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, and looked at the mountains and rivers at his feet again, filled with emotion.

The Hanyu Mountain Range is remote and inaccessible. Except for the aquatic village outside the mountain, there is no one nearby. The trend of the mountains is also mediocre, and they are not famous mountains or rivers.

But with the presence of the wolf god in the mountain, the small Hanyu Mountain suddenly became magical.

But this time, Gongshu Jie didn't come to test the details, he simply wanted to make friends with this extraordinary ancient beast, so he no longer felt pressure and his mentality became much calmer.

He sat on the top of the mountains, smiling and chatting with the White Wolf God next to him, talking about some interesting things popular in the country, and talking about all the disasters he had experienced in the past. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

Soon, the monkeys in the mountains delivered the fruit wine they brewed.

It wasn't much, just two gourds, so Lu Heng and Gongshu Jie shared one each.

"The monkeys under God's command are really clever. They feel smarter than ordinary monkeys," Uncle Jie sighed after taking a sip of monkey wine, "This monkey wine is really delicious."

In front of him, the huge white wolf tapped the gourd with its front paw, and the stopper of the gourd opened automatically. Then, a stream of wine flew out of the gourd and entered the white wolf's bloody mouth.

Lu Heng nodded and said, "It tastes really good."

Although Lu Heng is not good at drinking, he doesn't like drinking either. But the monkey wine brewed by Baiguo is different from ordinary drinks. The sweetness of the fruit overwhelms the spiciness of the wine, and there is still a slight sweet feeling after drinking it. Even Lu Heng, who doesn't like to drink, finds it good.

However, the scene of him using magic power to drink wine made Gongshu Jie's eyes light up.

Mana control objects, this is not something to be surprised about. What surprised Gongshu Jie was that the wine Lu Heng used was not magic power, but the power of thunder and lightning.

This means that the foundation of practice in the body of the White Wolf God is not mana at all, but thunder and lightning! Not only can he control thunder and lightning, he is even the power of thunder himself!

This ancient divine beast is truly extraordinary.

Gongshu Jie was shocked and felt that his eyes had been opened today. In the past, I had only heard that the legendary mythical beasts were all extraordinary, but no one could explain in detail how extraordinary the beasts were. Today, he felt it for himself.

Controlling the thunder itself is scary, but even the body is filled with the power of the thunder. The foundation of enlightenment is the thunder. In essence, it is completely different from the mundane things like him that refine spiritual energy into mana.

There is simply a difference between cloud and mud!

Uncle Jie was impressed in his heart and couldn't help but sigh, "The power of the thunder is so fierce, I'm afraid that Hanyu Mountain will become a forbidden area for evil spirits. If the swirling clouds in the sky don't disperse, no evil spirits will dare to approach without permission... ugh... the only pity is The swirling clouds are deep and blocking the skylight, making the mountain seem a bit gloomy."

Gongshu Jie's words were subconscious emotions after being amazed.

However, after saying this, he regretted it and realized that his words were inappropriate.

Such words are not mocking the gloomy and gloomy Hanyu Mountain? Why can't I control my mouth?

Gongshu Jie felt a little regretful that he finally got to know God Lu Heng and the atmosphere was so harmonious. As a result, I opened my mouth to talk nonsense again, ruining the atmosphere... This... ugh... why can't I control this nonsense?

Uncle Jie felt extremely regretful.

However, Lu Heng was not angry or offended. He looked up at the huge swirling clouds spinning above his head, and at the dimly lit mountains under the swirling clouds, and couldn't help but nod.

"Indeed, these swirling clouds cover the sky and make the mountain look gloomy. I have a visitor here, so it would be rude of me to let the dark clouds cover the sky and block the sky... Please wait a moment, Wu Zhu."

After saying that, Lu Heng closed his eyes slightly and felt deeply. As the power of thunder surged within Lu Heng's body, the huge vortex clouds rotating in the sky seemed to be affected. Immediately afterwards, the dark clouds rotated and surged continuously, and lightning flashed among the clouds.

Finally, in the middle of the swirling clouds, the black clouds slowly dispersed, revealing a gap, revealing the blue sky above the clouds. The bright sunshine shone in through the gap in the center of the swirling clouds, and just fell on the peak of Hanyu Mountain, falling on Lu Heng and Gongshu Jie.

The main peak of Hanyu Mountain, which was originally gloomy, suddenly became sunny and the sun cleared through the clouds.

Lu Heng then opened his eyes and said with a smile, "This is the way to treat guests."
