After the holy monk dropped his vest

After leaving the village, Lu Heng and his wife walked all the way to the foot of the mountain under the leadership of Granny Zhao.

When he reached the edge of the peach forest at the foot of the mountain, Shi Kong gently pulled Lu Heng.

Lu Heng understood that this is the boundary that Shi Kong could not step out of before anyway.Here, the mountain temple on the mountainside can already be vaguely seen.

The mountain temple is not too big, but it is quite exquisite, completely different from the simple thatched cottages in the village.

Granny Zhao, who was walking ahead, did not show any abnormality when she crossed the boundary.The two of Lu Heng also walked over without stopping.

Business as usual.

Sure enough, this mountain temple can only be entered on the day of worship.From the foot of the mountain to the mountain temple on the mountainside, a long stone staircase was built.

Granny Zhao has been working in the fields all year round. She is in good health and her legs are sharp. She climbed up the mountain without any effort.

On the contrary, it was the young Lu Heng, to be precise, Er Gouzi, who had the body of a scholar, and was out of breath after climbing too far.Lu Heng only felt his heart beating like a drum, his ears were buzzing, and his eyes were turning black from time to time.

This kind of mortal feeling is really terrible. He was so weak after not sleeping all night. Lu Heng gritted his teeth and lifted his heavy foot, but he stepped on nothing.

There is still dew on the stone steps in the early morning.Lu Heng's legs were already weak, but after stepping on the air, his feet slipped again, and he almost fell headfirst on the stone steps, and he was about to fall and bleed.

At the very moment, Lu Heng felt his waist tighten, and then he was lifted up and leaned against his warm chest.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that it was Shi Kong who was walking behind who had grabbed him, thus avoiding the accident.

"Thank you for your kindness, benefactor." Lu Heng touched the cold sweat on his forehead and said.

Before Shi Kong could speak, Granny Zhao, who was walking in front, turned her head when she heard the movement, and she knew what happened to her delicate and frail Er Gouzi when she saw it.

"Er Gouzi, you can't do this. The speed is so slow, it's not good to miss the auspicious time." Granny Zhao saw that the husband and wife who were closely behind her are now far behind, "A Niu, back With your daughter-in-law."

"No, I'm fine." At this moment, Lu Heng is not the faint king who was obsessed with beauty after the operation.Being recited by others is really detrimental to the majesty of the Demon King.

Unexpectedly, Shi Kong walked in front of him, squatted down slightly: "Come up, don't delay the sacrifice."

Lu Heng frowned and thought for a moment. In order not to delay the business, he had to grit his teeth and lay down on the ground.

The identities of Lu Heng and Shi Kong in the world of the painting are Er Gouzi and A Niu, and their physiques basically fit into the state of these two people.But because of the soul, the appearance is the same as that of Lu Heng and Shi Kong themselves.

Today's Lu Heng is still a teenager due to his limited cultivation, so he looks a little smaller when lying on Shi Kong's back.Looking at the broad shoulders in front of him, he began to miss the body of the Demon King again.

Although he is not as tall and strong as Shi Kong, but at least he is about the same height. That is a figure like a pine tree facing the wind, which looks like a thin boy now, and looks weaker by three points in terms of momentum.

Not far from the mountain temple, Granny Zhao stopped.

"The rest of the 99 steps will be finished by you together." Granny Zhao's wrinkled face burst into a smile, with a feeling of relief that the child has finally grown up, "Er Gouzi, after coming out of the mountain temple, You are completely from A Niu's family."

For the remaining 99 steps, Lu Heng and Shi Kong walked very quickly.Not long after, I saw the small and exquisite mountain temple.

In front of the temple, a young Taoist priest with delicate features stood there, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Lu Heng and Lu Heng, the little Taoist raised his voice and asked, "A Niu and Er Gouzi, right? They're here at last. Follow me in to take a shower and change clothes."

When Lu Heng saw this little Taoist priest, he had some guesses in his heart, and he turned his head to look at Shi Kong.

Shi Kong also seemed to have noticed something, and looked over at the same time, and the eyes of the two happened to collide.

Lu Heng raised his eyebrows and signaled to the other party, Shi Kong nodded invisibly. Although there was no exchange of words, the communication between the two was very smooth.

This little Taoist is Fang Wenze.

Because the little Taoist has a soul in his body, unlike the villagers in those villages, they are just living paper figures.

"Xiao Daoist, how long have you been in this mountain temple?" Lu Heng said calmly.

"I've been here as long as I can remember," said the little Taoist.

"You came up the mountain at such a young age, did your parents send you here?" Lu Heng asked.

At the mention of these two words, the little Taoist was in a daze: "Parents? Ah, I don't know why I'm here, anyway, I've been staying in the mountain temple."

Lu Heng changed the subject again: "Speaking of which, you've been staying in the mountains and haven't gone outside to see?"

"Outside? You mean in the village, where I sometimes go."

"No, no, I'm talking about the world outside the village. I've been to a place called Qingmu City, and the girls in the city are so pretty. It happened to be the Lantern Festival that day, and I saw one at the Lantern Market. The girl surnamed Li is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen."

"Lord Mountain God is the most beautiful person I have ever seen." The little Taoist retorted unconvinced.

"Hey, don't tell me, that Miss Li looks very much like the mountain god."

The little Taoist stopped suddenly, and turned around angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, how can there be someone as good-looking as the mountain god in the world!"

Seeing that the little Taoist was angry, Lu Heng hurriedly cupped his hands: "That's it, maybe because of the poor light at night, I misread it."

"Hmph!" Seeing that Lu Heng had admitted his mistake, the little Taoist turned around and continued to lead the way.But he still seemed to be sulking, no matter what Lu Heng said, he would not talk to him anymore.

Lu Heng didn't care either. After a few conversations just now, he had already got the information he wanted.Fang Wenze has sincerely regarded himself as a person in the world in the painting, and he has completely forgotten about Qingmu City and the Li family.

Fang Wenze was originally a mortal, and his soul was not as powerful as Lu Heng's. Moreover, the soul that entered the picture scroll was incomplete, and it is not surprising that he completely lost his mind.

I just don't know why this painting demon traps Fang Wenze in the painting.Fang Wenze's body will surely perish if the soul leaves the body for a long time; once the body dies, the soul cannot stay in the world for a long time, even in the world in this painting, it cannot resist the power of reincarnation.

Could it be that Hua Yao wants Fang Wenze to become a ghost cultivator in order to stay together forever?

The little Taoist's voice interrupted Lu Heng's thoughts.

"Here, I have everything ready. After you take a bath and change your clothes, I will take you to meet the mountain god."

Afterwards, the little Taoist took another look at Lu Heng, and said in a blunt tone: "Be sure to wash it clean, so as not to dirty the eyes of the mountain god."

"Don't worry, Taoist Priest, we came here with sincerity." Lu Heng smiled helplessly. It seemed that his words just now really offended the little Taoist priest.

According to the guidance of the little Taoist priest, Lu Heng and Shi Kong bathed and burned incense, and changed into the clean clothes provided by the mountain temple before they were allowed to enter the main hall of the mountain temple.

The little Taoist only took them to the gate of the main hall, and then left.

This mountain temple looks small from the outside, but it is quite rich inside.The hall is solemn and solemn, and the statue of the mountain god in the center is about two people tall, and it is carved lifelike.This statue is exactly the same as the portrait Lu Heng saw in Granny Zhao, and it looks like a woman who has almost the same face as Li.

Shi Kong took out the pottery cup from his lapel, enshrined it on the incense table with Lu Heng, and then followed the procedure explained by the little Taoist priest to do it one by one.

After a moment.

I saw milky white mist slowly coming out of the pottery cup enshrined on the table.Lu Heng knew at a glance that it was Shi Kong and he who poured the thoughts on the pottery cup when they made it.

Nian, which turned into white mist, rose from the pottery cup, and was drawn by some mysterious force, drifting towards the mountain god statue.

The statue of the mountain god was gradually shrouded in white mist.The mist slowly sank into the statue, and as the fog became less and less, the statue began to change.

From the top of the statue, a hazy white light bloomed, and it became brighter and brighter.The rigid expression of the statue gradually became soft and vivid. A phantom came out of the statue and walked down from the sky. Every step he took, his figure became more solid.

Until it fell in front of Lu Heng and the two of them, the phantom had condensed into a real flesh and blood body.

"I already know the sincerity of the two of you. What is your wish?" the mountain god said in a low voice.

Sure enough, as Zhao Dazhu said, when the mountain god speaks, he will find that he is a man.

"..."

A silence.

Shi Kong is not good at words, and when dealing with the villagers in the world in the painting, it is mostly Lu Heng who comes forward.He thought that Lu Heng would speak, but he didn't want Lu Heng to just stand there, his eyes lowered and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Seeing the mountain god's suspicious gaze, Shi Kong said, "Maybe he was too excited to see the mountain god, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Please forgive me, the mountain god."

Don't look at Lu Heng's calm face at the moment, but there are already turbulent waves in his heart.If he hadn't had a thousand years of experience, he probably wouldn't be able to control the expression on his face and the reaction of his body.

The moment the mountain god appeared, Lu Heng knew what was calling him when he saw the picture scroll in Fangfu.

The one who called him was the painting demon in front of him.There is a sense of blood connection between myself and this painting demon.

Among the monster clan, only monsters with close blood ties can feel this way, such as parents and children or brothers and sisters who are close blood relatives.

Could it be that this painted demon is the brother of this little cabbage snake?No, one is a snake demon, and the other is a scroll demon, so it is impossible for them to be blood relatives.
