I’ll Quit Being a God

Chapter 60 Hiding

Outside the Wolf Temple, Lu Heng sat in a small wooden pavilion, quietly looking at the sword furnace outside the mountain.

The bored and scary feeling in his heart never disappeared, making him a little uneasy.

After the lecture, the white ape went to the back mountain to chop firewood. Xiao Ai, on the other hand, was driven back to practice by Lu Heng - although the little girl wanted to stand beside the Wolf God and listen to his orders.

However, although Xiao Ai left, she still presented the peach blossom stuffing she had prepared before leaving.

"Lord Wolf God, this is peach blossom wine soaked by Xiao Ai with Houshan peach blossoms. The wine is a three-hundred-year-old wine..."

Xiao Ai offered the carefully brewed peach blossom stuffed wine, his eyes full of expectation.

Although Lu Heng didn't like drinking, he couldn't help but be curious about the taste of the peach blossom wine when he smelled the delicate fragrance of the peach blossom wine.

The peach blossoms in the back mountain have not withered since they bloomed in the middle of winter last year. You know, it's almost winter now.

The peach blossoms that had been blooming for nearly a year had neither withered nor produced any fruit. Such an abnormal phenomenon made Lu Heng quite surprised - could this peach forest be transformed into a spirit?

However, after he checked, he found that the peach blossom forest showed no signs of becoming a spirit. It's just that the spiritual energy surges, and the roots of the peach trees in the ground absorb the water spirit energy all over the mountain.

The thunderstorm rain that falls in the mountains once a month, in addition to the spiritual energy that spills into the air, almost all the water spiritual energy integrated into the soil is sucked away by this peach forest.

Seeing the unusual sight of this peach forest blooming for nearly a year, Lu Heng couldn't help but think of the legendary flat peach, which blooms every three thousand years and bears fruit every three thousand years.

Will the peach grove in the back mountain also become a similar spiritual tree?

Although it may not take thousands of years for the peach trees to bloom and bear fruit like flat peaches, the signs in this peach forest now indicate that it may take a long time for the peach trees to bear fruit.

Thinking in his mind, Lu Heng, who was sitting in the pavilion, poured a small cup of peach blossom brew.

Under the dark sky, the moment he smelled the quiet and elegant fragrance, Lu Heng had a strange feeling that his body and mind had been baptized.

At that moment, it seemed that the dark mountain became sunny.

Such an extraordinary performance made Lu Heng lower his head in surprise, looking at the light red wine in the cup, and found that the peach blossom wine seemed to be even more powerful than he imagined.

Without hesitation, Lu Heng raised his glass and drank the wine gently.

The cool and smooth wine has an elegant fragrance and a soft and delicate touch without the spiciness of ordinary wines. Lu Heng closed his eyes and felt it for a while, then subconsciously poured another glass.

Then the third cup, the fourth cup...

Unknowingly, when Lu Heng came to his senses, he found that there was not a drop of wine left in the small wine bottle.

He couldn't help but laugh.

This peach blossom stuffed wine has such magical power that it is simply irresistible.

After Lu Heng drank this small pot of wine, he understood more clearly what was really extraordinary about this wine.

Even an accomplished demon cultivator like Lu Heng could feel his cultivation subtly benefiting from such a pot of wine. If an ordinary human being drinks this pot of wine, it will definitely extend his life.

This peach blossom wine carefully brewed by Xiao Ai can already be called a treasure.

He looked back in the direction of the Wolf Temple, where Xiao Ai closed his eyes and meditated silently.

Although he only needed to give instructions and Xiao Ai would serve him the remaining peach blossom wine, Lu Heng was not an alcoholic and had never drank liquor in his previous life.

Even though this peach blossom wine was so extraordinary, he didn't have much interest in it.

After putting down his wine glass, Lu Heng looked outside the mountain again, his mind wandering unknowingly.

After drinking this peach blossom wine, the feeling of horror and boredom in his heart became much lighter and no longer depressing.

In the direction of the sword furnace outside the mountain, the fire became smaller and smaller, and it was no longer as terrifying as before.

Lu Heng guessed that maybe the Heavenly Tribulation Sword was really going to be completed.

So the reason why I am so uneasy is because of the Heavenly Tribulation Sword...

Hanyu Mountain gradually became quiet in the afternoon.

Lu Heng sat in the pavilion, lost in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

Until a certain moment, the tranquility in the mountain was broken. A ray of light suddenly cut through the sky and flew from a distance.

When Lu Heng in the mountain looked up and saw the figure in the light, Gai Yin also saw the cloud of punishment and calamity in front of him that enveloped the main peak of Hanyu Mountain.

Even though they were still far apart, Gai Yin could clearly feel the power of heaven emanating from the calamity cloud.

Thinking of Master Wu Zhu's instructions, he did not dare to neglect, and immediately descended from the air, landed outside Hanyu Mountain, and walked into the mountain.

Although the aquatic village outside Hanyu Mountain is very popular, the purpose of his trip is not this remote village.

The Double Ninth Festival was approaching, and as the chief shaman priest of Qianzhen City, Gai Yin was supposed to accompany Master Wu Zhu and contribute to the Fire God sacrifice during the Double Ninth Festival.

But Master Wu Zhu gave him a more important task, asking him to go to the remote Hanyu Mountain to pay a visit to the Wolf God in the mountain.

Since last year's migration, Thousand Needles City has undergone great changes. Master Wu Zhu used thunderous tactics to fight with those old clans in an inextricable manner.

Gongshu Jie, who had always been unruly and stubborn, was suddenly able to suppress all the old clans not by force, but by the power of people's hearts. Those old clans all knew that there must be an expert behind the scenes.

The entire Qianzhen City was speculating on who was secretly helping Gongshu Jie, and many old clans were constantly making secret moves, trying to dig out the master hiding behind Gongshu Jie.

But Gai Yin, who is Master Wu Zhu’s confidant, knows that the existence that really affects Master Wu Zhu is not in Thousand Needles City. He also knew how noble the existence that helped Master Wu Zhu was.

Therefore, when he was ordered to come to Hanyu Mountain to pay a visit to the Wolf God, Gai Yin felt quite uneasy. Although Mr. Wu Zhu said that the wolf god in the mountain is an immortal sage, there is no need to worry.

But facing such a noble existence, Gai Yin was still afraid that he would be rude.

Therefore, he descended from the air before entering the mountain and walked directly towards Hanyu Mountain on foot.

However, after entering the mountain, Gai Yin found that the situation in Hanyu Mountain was somewhat abnormal.

Except for the main peak in the depths and the primitive jungle behind the main peak, the surrounding mountains have completely turned into scorched earth, without any greenery at all.

And not long after walking inside, Gai Yin discovered the existence of the sword furnace.

At this time, the fire in the sword furnace was almost extinguished, and it was no longer as earth-shattering as before. If a mortal were passing by, they would never associate the existence of this sword furnace with the vision in the mountain.

But Gai Yin was no ordinary person. Even though the fire leaking out of the sword furnace was almost non-existent, he was still clearly aware of the extraordinary nature of the sword furnace and the terrifying aura contained within.

After careful observation, he found that the casting style of this sword furnace was quite familiar.

This sword furnace... seems to be the work of the Jiuli tribe!

Gai Yin was slightly startled, and then he remembered that when he entered the mountain before, he had indeed seen the tent camp of the Youfang tribe near Shuisheng Village.

It turns out that the Youfang tribe gathered outside the mountain is actually Jiuli?

Gai Yin had had contact with this legendary Youfang tribe sixty years ago and knew that all nine tribes of the Li tribe were outstanding people, and their metallurgical skills were unparalleled in the world.

But even the well-informed Gai Yin was shocked by the terrifying aura faintly emanating from the sword furnace.

In Hanyu Mountain, there are actually people from the Li tribe forging swords?

And it caused so much damage...

Gai Yin subconsciously looked in the direction of the main peak of Hanyu Mountain, knowing that the Li clan's sword furnace must have received permission from the Wolf God. But after causing so much damage, the Wolf God acquiesced...

The wolf god in Hanyu Mountain is indeed as broad-minded and noble as Master Wu Zhu said. If he was a violent person, he would probably have already unleashed the wrath of thunder.

Thinking of this, Gai Yin's worries disappeared a little.

He calmed down and continued walking towards the mountain without looking at the Li clan's sword furnace.

The purpose of his trip was to pay homage to the Wolf God and make offerings. Although the sword furnace of the Li people was extraordinary, it had nothing to do with him.

But when Gai Yin reached the foot of the main peak and saw the spacious stone steps in front of him, he felt a little confused.

This...this seems to be different from what Master Wu Zhu said?

If I remember correctly, the Hanyu Mountain mentioned by Mr. Wu Zhu is just a remote and primitive hill, right? Why are there artificial stairs today...

Gai Yin was confused and walked directly up the stairs. Soon, he climbed to the end of the stone steps and saw the tree-lined path paved with bluestone slabs and the Wolf Temple at the end of the tree-lined path.

Although the Wolf Temple made of pure wood is not as grand as the Fire Temple in Thousand Needles City, it still exudes a vague aura of majesty that people dare not ignore.

The statues of the wolf god in the Wolf Temple were far apart, but Gai Yin's extraordinary eyesight could still see them clearly.

Gai Yin became more and more uneasy.

The scene in front of me was completely different from what Master Wu Zhu said.

The low mountain temple is completely invisible... Could it be that he went to the wrong place? But the wolf god is indeed enshrined in this temple.

Or maybe this place has also changed in this year?

Feeling anxious in his heart, Gai Yin stepped onto the tree-lined path.

He didn't go far when he found a hermit in white sitting in a pavilion on the roadside. When Gai Yin saw him, the hermit in white also looked at him with a smile.

Gai Yin was slightly shocked... He didn't realize when the hermit in white appeared? Moreover, this person's temperament is ethereal. Just sitting there, he seems to be integrated with the world, which is absolutely extraordinary.

Out of caution, Gai Yin opened his Dharma eyes and looked at the other person again to prevent being harmed by evil people. However, what the Dharma Eye could see, the white-clothed monk's body was filled with lightning and terrifying power.

At this glance, not only could he not see the depth of the opponent, but Gai Yin could not breathe smoothly. He seemed to be facing a terrifying thunderstorm of heavenly punishment, and his heart was filled with horror.

This monk in white...seems like his whole body is made of thunder?

Gai Yin immediately guessed the identity of the hermit in white and quickly bowed to salute.

"Thousand Needles City Witch Sacrifice Gai Yin has met Lord Wolf God!"

Under the dark sky, sweat dripped slightly from Gai Yin's forehead.

The moment his Fayan peeked at the Wolf God, the terrifying pressure he felt almost shattered his Taoist heart. Being able to maintain a calm appearance without losing composure is the limit of what he can do.

No wonder before he came, Master Wu Zhu told him not to open his Dharma Eyes in front of the Wolf God.

It turns out to be such a terrifying feeling to glimpse gods with mortal eyes...

Chapter 61 Ancient Books

On the tree-lined path, Gai Yin bowed and saluted, his heart trembling.

Lu Heng smiled gently.

"The witch festival in Thousand Needles City...did uncle Wu Zhu send you here?" Lu Heng asked.

Gai Yin responded quickly, "Back to the Wolf God, it was sent by Master Wu Zhu."

"The Double Ninth Festival is approaching, and Master Wu Zhu originally wanted to come to Hanyu Mountain to pay tribute to the Wolf God in person. However, the Fire God sacrifice is imminent, and the old clans in the city are slightly restless. Master Wu Zhu needs to sit in the city and has no time to spare, so he sent me to offer gifts."

With that said, Gai Yin took out the gift he carried with him.

It was a yellowed and broken ancient book. It was in ordinary tatters and had no special aura at all. If you leave it on the street, no one will pay attention to it.

But Gai Yin was extremely respectful and carefully handed the broken ancient book to Lu Heng, saying, "This book is an ancient book. Master Wu Zhu found it accidentally, but he could not read the content in the book. There are blank spaces in the book." one slice."

"Master Wu Zhu said that the Wolf God is knowledgeable about the past and present, and may be able to read this book, so he sent it to me as a thank you gift."

Gai Yin's narration made Lu Heng understand the cause and effect.

but……

"I don't know where to start with this gift of thanks?" Lu Heng asked curiously, "Why did Uncle Wu Zhu thank me?"

Lu Heng felt that he didn't seem to have done anything worthy of Uncle Jie's gratitude, right?

Gai Yin said with a smile, "The Wolf God is humble. It was with the guidance of the Wolf God that Master Wu Zhu was able to suppress the old clans in the city and benefit the people. The kindness of the Wolf God will be engraved in our hearts in Thousand Needles City. "

Gai Yin's reverence comes from the heart.

Mr. Wu Zhu is a man of profound knowledge and is able to look down upon all the cities in the Huotong Kingdom. However, he has a withdrawn and unruly personality. In the past, he was often manipulated by the old clans who played tricks on power.

But since Han Yushan returned, Master Wu Zhu's series of reforms completely suppressed and defeated all the old clans. Before those old clans could react, they had already established the upper hand.

As Wu Zhu's confidant, Gai Yin had a heartfelt respect for the wolf god who had given guidance to Wu Zhu.

However, after Lu Heng listened to Gai Yin's story about the reform measures that his uncle Jie had made when he returned, he was completely stunned.

This... Gongshu Jie actually followed the example and carried out reforms, suppressed the old clan, and made concessions to the benefit of the people?

This guy is playing a little too big...

After Lu Heng was silent for a while, he sighed wordlessly, "In that case, I will accept this gift of thanks. However, there is a continuation of the story that Uncle Wu Zhu heard last time."

"Now that he is not here, you can listen for him," Lu Heng said. "I hope the story I told can inspire him."

Lu Heng's words surprised Gai Yin. He knew that the Wolf God was going to preach again, so he quickly stood respectfully and said, "I would like to listen to the Wolf God's words."

In the small wooden pavilion, Lu Heng sighed and recounted the experiences of Wei Yang in his later years.
