Preface:

"Pig God, please stop! it is not your duty to wage war with the will of the gods!" Gu said in awe as he faced the god in front of him.

"I am the mountain god of this mountain, and it is my duty to protect it, and I am going to watch the destruction of this mountain by something called 'man'?! I am not fighting against humanity for myself, but for the creatures I am trying to protect beneath me. How can I stand idly by and watch if I am the master of this mountain!O stupid human beings! Let you see the punishment of being a god! How can you understand what pain is without teaching you what pain is!" The pig god roared and disappeared.

Body:

On this day, Gu walked among the mountains and forests, raised his eyes and glanced at the mountains in front of him, and was not shocked.

I saw a large number of various "spirits" floating on a mountain not far away, and they looked like lost children, unknown and uncertain. And thick black smoke was rising from that mountain, like a drop of black ink in clean water, which instantly blackened the entire river.

"What's going on?!Why have the 'spirits' lost order?!Why does the whole mountain give people a sense of suffocation?!No! No, the whole mountain will be paralyzed, or even dead! It will take hundreds of years to make up for it!"

Gu gasped and ran. His eyes were full of doubts and urgency, and he seemed to be an impatient person at the moment, falling to the hard ground many times, and then struggling to get up.

At this moment, the words that Master had entrusted him before his death always appeared in his heart: "As a 'spiritual master', you will live up to the mission of a 'spiritual master'." Record it, protect it, love it, even if you lose your own life. This is the mission of being a 'spirit master' and the fate of a 'spirit master'. Thinking of this, Gu's lips opened: "Master, wouldn't you have thought that the student you were most optimistic about would actually inherit your will." I'm a qualified 'spirit master', right?"

Gu panted and ran to the foot of the mountain, he was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to raise his eyes to look at the mountain. He could only grasp his knees tightly with both hands, and lowered his head and gasped for air. Sweat dripping down the dirt. His vision suddenly went dark, as if he had become a blind man. The ears are also "buzzing". "Have you reached the limit?" Gu secretly cried in his heart.

After a long while, Gu's sense of sight and hearing slowly recovered. With the recovery of sight and hearing, Gu first heard the sound of swords and axes chopping, then the noisy sound of people talking, and then the sound of "crackling" cracking.

You can smell the smell of soot mixed with thick smoke in your nostrils, and the smell of heat from the steaming air entering your chest.

Gu slowly raised his head, and he saw hundreds of men half-naked, there were several huge stoves in front of them, some of them kept adding black stones to them, some of them kept carrying down wooden blocks from the mountain and throwing them into the furnace, and some of them were carrying knives and axes up the mountain.

Looking a little further up, what Gu saw made him angry and sad—two-thirds of the trees on the mountain in front of him had already been cut down, and the rest would soon disappear.

"What's going on!What are you doing!" Gu shouted.

Everyone who heard his voice stopped and looked Gu up and down curiously. But after a while, they went back to doing what they were doing.

"If you do this, you will anger the mountain god!" Gu shouted again.

"This man is insane. Someone laughed.

"Leave him alone with this idiot. "Someone should make peace.

"Why? If you don't do this, you feed us with silver?" Hmph, to put it lightly......" Someone dismissed.

"Let me tell you, even if the emperor comes today, we, the people of the Qing Dynasty, will do the same. The mountain god is ridiculous! Nonsense! There is really a god, so why don't you redeem us in times of famine and purify sentient beings in times of floods? Lao Tzu doesn't believe in gods!" someone retorted loudly.

"It's unbearable! you don't care about the feelings of the mountain so much, you will be punished in the end, stop it!" Gu continued to shout.

"Where did the madman come from, believe it or not, he killed you?!" said a strong man, who said rudely, picked up an axe and walked straight over. The people who were working on the side stopped and watched. Some people even coaxed: "Liu Zhuanghan is going to kill people, there is a good show to watch." ”

Gu was not afraid, standing in place and looking at the strong man.

"What are you staring at?!ah?!Looking for death?!" A fist slammed in. Gu retreated three or four meters and fell to the ground, blood flowing from the corners of his mouth.

"Well hit, good fight! This is a good fight, good, good, good!" shouted the man behind him.

Liu Zhuanghan struck him again with an iron fist and beat him all over the ground to find his teeth. Hahaha......" someone in the crowd proposed.

The strong man was proud, walked to Gu's side, easily lifted Gu with one arm, and the other arm was about to hit him.

"Stop. A deep, deep voice came from the crowd.

Then, the crowd behind the strong man opened a crack.

An old man with a fluttering white beard and a cane walked in tremblingly.

"Ah, it's the elder here. One person in the crowd spoke.

"Ah...... It's the elders, the elders......" In an instant, everyone lowered their heads and frowned, very respectful.

"Liu Linxiao'er, you are so rude, today you will be punished for chopping three more loads of firewood. There was a laugh in the crowd.

Although Liu Zhuanghan was angry, he could only admit it and leave angrily.

When I looked at Gu again, I saw that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he fainted.

The old man ordered someone to carry Gu into his tent.

At noon the next day, Gu woke up.

He was trying to get up, but he felt the pain in his face.

"Young man, wake up. A voice came.

"Are you?" Gu looked over and saw the old man.

"I'm the head of this village, where are you from? In a place where you don't know your life, your words are unrestrained, which shows that your anger has not been completely eliminated. As the saying goes: 'Trouble comes from the mouth', and your complaining personality needs to be changed. ”

"Why...... Why do you treat the mountain like this, endlessly destroying the mountain you live on, and continue to do so, one day it will dry up and die! If there really is such a day, what will your descendants rely on to live?!" Gu suddenly became excited.

"The young man is strong-blooded, and that's true. Three months ago, someone in the village found a treasure in the mountains, that is, coal, and some people in the village had previously stayed in the factory under the jurisdiction of Li Hongzhang and were proficient in iron-smelting technology, so someone suggested that after digging coal and selling it for some money, he would bring in some iron, and it would be more profitable to make iron tools from coal. This village is very isolated, and people for generations have suffered from natural and man-made disasters, starvation, and countless deaths of disease. Now, there is finally an opportunity, and everyone can get rich together, so why give up?"

"Do you have to sacrifice the whole mountain? The coal will be mined one day, and the trees in the mountain will be cut down one day, what will happen to your children and grandchildren?"

"This mountain is gone, and there are still many mountains behind it, enough to feed several generations. The old man squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

"With such thoughts, how could calamity not come?" Gu sighed and stopped talking.

At night, Gu came to the outside of the world, raising his head and looking at the mountains that were close at hand. Above its head, there was a black moon, which was obscured by dark clouds. The spirit seeds on the top of the mountain still wandered around in panic. In the mountains and forests, you can hear the mournful chirping of birds.

"O mountain, are you weeping? You are right in front of my eyes, but I can't do anything to share a little pain for you. Gu stretched out a hand and pointed a finger at the mountain, as if caressing the mountain's face sadly.

Suddenly, Gu was in the corner of the mountain on the right and saw a pair of green eyes, with angry and murderous eyes.

"That's ...... That's the mountain god of this mountain, and it's still alive. Gu muttered to himself. Chased after it.

The road ahead was bumpy, interspersed with an unpleasant smell of smoke and a sultry suffocation.

"Where are you, the mountain god of this mountain, I have something to say to you, please allow me to meet you, please. Gu looked around in place.

It's just that the voice is empty and doesn't have any echo.

"Mountain God, I am a 'spirit master', a member of the clan that guards you, and I have no ill intentions, I just want to see you. ”

Gu struggled, he kept looking in place, looking for those green eyes.

A gust of wind blew, bringing a refreshing touch, allowing Gu's face to enjoy a natural aura that had never been felt before. There is a sweet fragrance in between.

"Mountain God, please dedicate yourself, I know you're here. Gu said softly.

Sure enough, behind a tree ten meters away in front of Gu, a pair of green eyes stared at it vigilantly.

"Mountain God, please allow me to use the spirit I possess (a type of spirit, in the form of a black circle, which can enter the body of people and animals, and realize the dialogue between humans and animals. Talk to you. ”

"I have been responsible for this mountain god for ten years, and I have never encountered the current bleak situation in these ten years, hateful human beings!

"Mountain god, you are a god, and you should understand your duties, and none of your duties are against mankind. What's more, once it retaliates, human beings will definitely fight back, fight evil with evil, and the cycle will continue, and the battle between man and nature will never stop, don't you want to think about this?"

Those eyes slowly approached Gu, with ferocity and anger. It was a wild boar, a strong and mighty pig god!

"If you weren't a spirit master, I'd be the first to kill you! The human race can't tell the story of the living beings in any way, do you know who should settle the account for the human beings who killed half of the living beings in this mountain in just three months! Only the blood of human dirt will be used to sacrifice these souls. ”

"You can't do that, I'm going to stop you, and doing so will only make the disaster worse and the resentment go ever. "Gu stopped.

"What power do you have to stop it, what right do you have to teach me! I will call upon my wild boar people, and flatten the human race, so that they will understand the price of angering God!"

"Could it be...... Don't...... Do you want to use the spiritual power 'spell' (a spirit species unique to the mountain god's body, which can be used to connect with the self of the race? The power of ?!"

"In this way, I can vent my anger and punish the stupid humans. ”

"This will be out of order, pig god!" Gu pleaded bitterly.

"Pig God, please stop! it is not your duty to wage war with the will of the gods!" Gu said in awe as he faced the god in front of him. 

"I am the mountain god of this mountain, and it is my duty to protect it, and I am going to watch the destruction of this mountain by something called 'man'?! I am not fighting against humanity for myself, but for the creatures I am trying to protect beneath me. How can I stand idly by and watch if I am the master of this mountain!O stupid human beings! Let you see the punishment of being a god! How can you understand what pain is without teaching you what pain is!" The pig god roared and disappeared. 

"Mountain God......!" Gu cried out in pain. "Why is this happening, why is it becoming like this?" he crouched numbly, fear and pain rushing to his chest like never before.

Gu fainted because of excessive sadness and weakness of his body.

When Gu woke up, he found that he was already in the old man's house.

"Fortunately, the elder is proficient in spells, otherwise your boy's life would have been lost in the mountains. Did you know that there is a huge and powerful boar in this mountain, and it is about to appear, and it can kill you with a single blow? "It was none other than Liu Zhuanghan who spoke.

"You ...... Flee quickly, for your deeds have angered the mountain gods, and in a few days you will be destroyed. ”

"Hahaha......" Liu Zhuanghan laughed.

At this time, the voice of the old man came: "They should be back soon." ”

"Yes, Elder, we're going to catch it this time. It hurts a lot of us. This account can be settled today. Liu Zhuanghan responded.

Gu Bai couldn't figure out what they were referring to.

Suddenly, one of Gu's conjectures disrupted him.

"Could it be...... Don't...... You ......," Gu said hesitantly.

"Yes, let's go hunt the so-called mountain gods. Thanks to you, too. That wild boar is very clever, as long as someone either hides or attacks violently, it is a special headache for our village. It had disappeared for the past few months, but several people had been injured by its attacks in recent days, but it was very difficult to find it. I didn't expect you to be with it without harm. Liu Zhuanghan said with a smug smile.

"Young man, I used to be a spirit master, so I am also proficient in the art of spirit control, and when you walked into the mountains and forests last night, I used the 'shadow' (rippled, winged, a kind of spirit commonly used by spirit masters, which can be used for reconnaissance. And let Liu Lin track you down to find out the whereabouts of the Boar King. ”

"So...... So you've been spying on me!Are you using me?!" Gu roared angrily.

"You can't say that, you help us get rid of this evil, and you can be regarded as the hero of our village, where did you get the surveillance?, where did you get the use?!" Liu Zhuanghan laughed.

"What are you laughing at?!Unforgivable!" Gu punched him, but was stopped by Liu Zhuanghan.

"Use me as bait to lure out the mountain god, and then find its traces and frame it. You can also think of this kind of trick! despicable and shameless!"

"Mountain god, ridiculous, do you know how many people it has hurt in our village? You are still protecting it, it is an evil spirit, a heinous evil spirit. ”

After speaking, Liu Zhuanghan swung his fist to fight.

"Stop, he is a spirit master after all, and I still understand his heart. It's just that I'm too young to understand that man and the so-called nature can't be united. It is the truth that the interests of one party can only be harmed by the interests of the other, endlessly. ”

The old man sighed as he spoke.

At this time, there was a lot of noise outside the tent.

Liu Zhuanghan was the first to walk out, and after a while, he walked into the tent in surprise and said, "Elder, the wild boar king is dead. ”

The old man stood up, stroked his beard and walked out, and said only one word: "Good." ”

Gu was dumbfounded, unable to believe such a reality. He barely supported his weak body, and walked out of the tent, and the corpse of the god from last night was reflected in front of him! Its green eyes were half-open, with the struggle and reluctance before death. The corners of its mouth were still dripping puddles of blood intermittently, as if to tell its anger and indifference. The green grass on its back represented its majesty as a mountain god, but it was all gone.

Gu, slumped on the ground.

"Impossible, this is impossible, how can the mountain god be killed by humans, impossible. Gu covered his head with his hands and stared blankly at the ground.

He heard the shouts of joy from the people, and he saw the people kicking the corpse of the mountain god with their feet, and those faces made him wonder if man really ruled the world.

However, he quickly denied it.

He looked at the mountain, and there was an unprecedented anger in the mountain, or a murderous aura.

"It's coming, it's coming, and people will eventually pay for what they've done. Gu laughed like crazy.

"Oh no, that's ......" The old man suddenly became serious.
