Chapter 16: The Art of Asking Immortals; Expecting to Become a Great God
"Who is it?"
The mountain god was stunned and said anxiously.
"That Granny Lu at the foot of Juying Mountain." Han Xiangzi said.
"How could it be her?"
"Isn't she in her house right now?"
The man had doubts in his heart, so he saw a flash of his eyes, secretly using his magic power, and a picture was reflected in his huge pupils.
In the picture, Lu's mother knelt down in front of Lu Yun's mourning hall and cried loudly.
As for He Shuxiu, he stumbled out of He's house with a look of despair.
Seeing how sad she was and how desperate she was in her cries, she realized that Mother Lu had a death wish in her heart!
After studying the reason carefully, it suddenly dawned on me.
He slowly walked to the chair in the hall and sat down. He looked at Han Xiangzi with interest and said with a smile:
"You little Taoist priest, you came here because you want to know how the daughter of the Lu family died, right?"
"It's still the great immortal who knows everything is like a god."
Han Xiangzi's cupping of hands.
"Great Immortal?"
"You, a little Taoist priest, are really good at flattering people. I am just a small mountain god in Zhongyue Prefecture, and my level is not as high as the City God in Pingchuan Prefecture."
It's funny.
Yuefu here does not refer to Fucheng.
It is the department under the command of Emperor Zhongyue, in charge of the mountain god Chuanbo.
There are more than hundreds of mountain gods like him in Zhongyue Mansion.
Among them, most are ninth grade.
Only those who are in charge of those famous mountains and swamps are the seventh grade.
However, Han Xiangzi has learned the art of asking immortals at a young age, which shows that he has high level of talent.
In the eyes of the emperor, if Han Xiangzi becomes an immortal in the future, he will be a seventh-rank god in heaven.
If the background behind it is bigger, it would not be surprising to become a great god like the fifth-grade Xingjun!
As for gods of level three or above, he didn't dare to think about them.
Being able to receive such praise from a future fifth- and sixth-grade great god, even though he knew clearly that this was a compliment from Han Xiangzi, he still felt somewhat comfortable in his heart.
"To be honest, I have some impressions of this girl Lu Yun. She has been living in Yingshan to collect herbs for her mother all year round, and she also pays homage to me during festivals."
"It's a pity that the way of heaven is unpredictable and human life is difficult to violate. This is what her destiny is, and I don't dare to make any arbitrary decisions."
Speaking of Lu Yun, Gan Wei could only shake his head and sympathize with her.
As a mountain god, his duty is to protect the land and water and ensure good weather.
At most, if there is a spirit in the mountains, he will capture it and hand it over to Zhongyue Mansion in exchange for some merit.
"How did she die?"
Han Xiangzi asked with a downcast expression.
The mountain god was silent for a while before he spoke:
"She died at the hands of the old man of the Qi family in Longshan County."
"The old man of the Qi family coveted the latter's beauty, so he failed to use violence, but instead harmed her."
"As for the Qi family, it is the largest prominent family in Longshan County and a branch of the Qi family in Weizhou."
"Ten months ago, people from the Qi family came to Juying Mountain secretly and wanted to kidnap Lu Yun. However, this woman had a strong personality and resisted with death. In addition, I secretly cast a spell and frightened those people away."
"Unexpectedly, less than seven days later, Mr. Qi personally led his servants and squatted in Juying Mountain, only to molest Lu Yun when she went up the mountain to collect medicine."
"Lu Yun refused to obey, and when she was pushed, she fell off the cliff and died."
"Afterwards, in order to cover up their guilt, the Qi family skinned her alive and pretended to be a ghost to escape the law."
Enough.
Han Xiangzi immediately felt a surge of anger in his heart. With a cold look on his face, he snorted:
"Humph!"
"What a wonderful Qi family!"
"What an old man, Mr. Qi, who regards human life as nothing and is extremely arrogant!"
"What, you little Taoist want to deal with the Qi family?"
The mountain god Gouji heard the anger in Han Xiangzi's words and asked in surprise.
"The Qi family commits crimes and harms the people like this. They are no different from the painted-skinned ghosts. The poor Taoist can kill the painted-skinned ghosts and also deal with the Qi family!"
Han Xiangzi's face was filled with resentment and hatred, and he defended Lu Yun's injustice.
"The Qi family is powerful and has the support of the clan behind it. It is not easy for them to get away with everything they do in Longshan County."
"If you are not completely sure, you cannot act rashly."
"Once you get involved in too many mundane things that go against the harmony of nature, it will be difficult for your mind to calm down, and it will become more and more difficult to enter the realm of a real person."
The mountain god Gouji had a good impression of Han Xiangzi and was afraid that he would act recklessly, so he immediately warned him.
In addition, he saw that Han Xiangzi was not only so young, but also had the talent of immortality, and he also had the idea of helping the world, and he also wanted to form a good relationship.
After all, if this little Taoist priest becomes a great god in the future, he can help him a little bit.
It's better than him staying here all his life as a mountain god.
"Thanks to the mountain god for telling me, Pindao has written it down."
Han Xiangzi nodded slightly.
"Little Taoist priest, this is Lu Yun's human skin. You should keep it."
"If it weren't for the protection of this immortal, the wild beasts in the mountains would have eaten her body that night."
"You should leave as soon as possible. The soul has been out of the body for a long time, which damages its origin."
Guessing that it was getting dark outside, the mountain god Gou suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a piece of broken human skin and explained to Han Xiangzi.
After saying that, he urged Han Xiangzi to leave.
"Thank you to the mountain god for your kindness."
"It's time for poor people to leave..."
Han Xiangzi was surprised to see Lu Yun's human skin in the hands of the mountain god.
I thanked him, raised my sleeves and robe, and took the human skin in.
Immediately afterwards, Han Xiangzi turned into a streak of white smoke and exited the mountain temple.
With his soul entering his body, Han Xiangzi found himself still standing in the temple.
The stick of earthen incense he had lit earlier was almost finished burning.
At this moment, the sky outside has long been dark, with only the waning moon and lone star accompanying it.
In the mountains in the distance, roars can be heard from time to time, which makes people feel frightened.
Han Xiangzi was not frightened, but just a little confused.
No wonder they all say that one day in heaven and one year on earth.
Han Xiangzi only felt that he had stayed in the mountain temple for only a stick of incense. When he came back, everything was so quiet, the moon was dark, the wind was high, and it was late at night.
"The mountain god is right about the Qi family, we can't act too hastily."
"It is estimated that the county magistrate, Wang Zhixian, does not dare to touch the Qi family. We can only wait until brother Zeng Dao returns to Qingyun Temple to discuss it again."
"For now, it is better to bury Lu Yun's body first."
Han Xiangzi made secret calculations in his mind, and finally bowed his head in front of the mountain temple and left.
……
On the way to Lu's house, Han Xiangzi had guessed why Lu's mother did not dare to reveal the truth.
All because of He Shuxiu!
He Shuxiu has a deep and unwavering love for Lu Yun.
If he learned that the Qi family had harmed his beloved, He Shuxiu would probably go to the Qi family to cause trouble!
If something goes wrong, you have to report it to the government office.
It is true that He Shuxiu is talented. If he can go to high school in the future, he will definitely rise to the top and become a high official in the border area.
But if he interferes with Lu Yun's matter, he will definitely offend the Qi family.
And it is impossible for the Qi family to just sit idly by.
You must regard it as a thorn in your side!
It's a small thing to come forward to suppress you. Otherwise, you may lose your life in vain.
By then, He Shuxiu won’t even be able to take part in the provincial examination, nor will he even be a candidate.
The Qingyun Road where his parents hoped that their son would become a dragon was cut off!
Mother Lu probably took this into consideration and refused to tell the truth.
It’s really difficult for an old woman to do this...
