In the early morning of the next day, the sky was still gray, and I heard the sound of suona outside, Grandma Lin changed Chen Chen into new clothes that she wore for the New Year, and then took Chen Chen out, Jiang He followed closely, and then Zhou Kui also came out with Zhou Bin on his back.

This time it was six servants, two of them puffed out their cheeks and blew the seemingly cheerful suona, and the other four strong and powerful young men carried an open-air sedan chair, Jiang He picked Chen Chen up on the sedan chair and set off with the team.

In the dim morning light, the silent mountains and forests sounded a deafening suona sound, which seemed somewhat nondescript and very incongruous.

Chen Chen looked nervously at his family members who were far away, and then at Brother Jianghe who was following him, and his heart was a little wider.

Originally, the original plan was to follow Jiang He from afar, and when the time was ripe, he rescued Chen Chen and defeated the mountain god.

But Chen Chen was still a child, and there was no one close to him, so he refused to go when he cried or cried, so he decided to let Brother Jianghe accompany him, but when Chen Chen was delivered, he had to pretend to leave and follow secretly.

After walking for less than half an hour, I saw that a lot of people had gathered at the foot of a mountain, some of these people were carrying chickens and ducks in their hands, or two or three people working together to carry a big fat pig, all of which were living creatures, shouting there, with the sound of suona, it was even more noisy.

Seeing the appearance of the sedan chair, these people immediately got up and let the sedan pass first, and then they followed closely with poultry and livestock and slowly walked up the mountain.

The mountain road is quite difficult, but fortunately the weather has been dry and there has been no rain recently, and everyone stopped at the mountainside, and the river looked at a dark cave, and the place where the morning light could shine was less than two steps.

The sound of suona stopped abruptly here, the four of them put down the small sedan chair, and Jiang He hugged Chen Chen. Led by a man in the prime of life, Jiang He led Chen Chen to the cave together.

When he arrived in the cave, the middle-aged man entered first and lit a torch, making the originally dark cave look less terrifying, Chen Chen hugged Jiang He's thigh tightly, looking nervous. Then the servants put down the living creatures and hurriedly withdrew.

Jiang He was also about to quit, but Chen Chen held on tightly, his eyes were full of pleading, Jiang He touched his little brain, and he couldn't bear it, so he decided to stay with him.

Quiet, very quiet, except for the occasional sound of the living creatures bound to the ground.

It went on like this for three quarters of an hour, and suddenly the mountain collapsed, like a huge mouth swallowing them all into the mountain.

Jiang He hugged Chen Chen tightly, and with the speed of lightning, he swam back and forth among the rubble, and only when the mountain was stable did he stop and look around carefully.

One is dozens of times larger than the cave, and the living creatures around him have been smashed to death by rubble, and blood flows out along the cracks in the stone pile, and then looking into the distance, there are piles of white bones, although they are not as good as the underworld, but they are also terrifying.

"Well, how can there be other people besides children? Didn't I say only children?"

After all, Chen Chen was young and had never experienced such a terrifying situation, so he cried loudly, and Jiang He hurriedly comforted him.

A huge figure appeared in the empty cavern, draped in stones, no, to be exact, a moving stone man at all.

The stone man raised his fist as big as a wooden basin and smashed it towards Jiang He and Chen Chen.

"Bang!" Jiang He, who seemed weak compared to the stone man, completely resisted the stone man's attack with his seemingly weak fist.

"Yo, the kid is quite fat, dare to go against my mountain god. The stone man shouted another punch.

"Bang!" The fierce stone fist was once again blocked by Jiang He's understatement: "I think it's you who is bold, you do a lot of evil, and you dare to pretend to be a mountain god." ”

"Hahaha!" the stone man laughed wildly, his fists increased his attack speed at the same time, and at the same time with a mocking meaning: "That's right, I am indeed not a mountain god, but an existence that even the mountain god will fear when he hears it, I am - the stone demon." ”

When the stone demon mentioned his name, he thought that the other party must be frightened, and it looked forward to Jiang He's frightened and frightened expression.

It's a pity that the river is as calm as water, and I didn't feel afraid at all when I heard the word "stone demon".

"I'm a stone devil, I'm a stone devil!" the stone devil shouted.

"Well, I know. Jiang He still replied calmly, patting Chen Chen with one hand, and stopping the stone demon's boxing with the other in an organized manner.

The stone demon was a little crazy: "You know my name, and dare to resist." ”

Jiang He: "You've said it so many times, I'm not deaf, why don't I know your name, you're a stone demon." As for resistance, if you're not satisfied, I can switch to an attack. ”

The stone demon suddenly stopped attacking and slowly sank into the ground: "Good boy is brave enough, in my territory, you are the first one who dares to ignore me like this." I'll let you see and see. My true strength. ”

After the stone demon sank, Jiang He felt a powerful fluctuation of the earth attributes, and after a long time, the rock wall of the cave flew out from different angles in all directions, Jiang He pulled out a stone sword from the ground with his right hand, and then picked up Chen Chen with his left hand, and while dodging, he flew the stone sword to block the stone blade that attacked from the dead end.

Stone Demon: "Hmph, sure enough, there are two hits." ”

Jiang He was in his heart: "This trick flies sand and gravel, and the speed is too slow, if my master launches it, no matter how strong it is, the speed will be at least a hundred times stronger." ”

After another quarter of an hour, the flying sand and gravel finally stopped, Jiang He closed his eyes, and felt that there was a powerful earth attribute fluctuation in the stone wall in the northwest direction, and it seemed that the stone demon was there. Jiang He raised his stone sword and hit the stone demon directly, and the stone demon jumped out of the stone wall, but the speed was too slow, and Jiang He cut off a stone arm.

The stone arm sank into the ground and suddenly grew out of the stone demon's hand.

Stone Demon: "Hahaha, I'm immortal, be afraid!"

Jiang He smiled helplessly, and only said one word, which made the stone demon's laughter stop abruptly, and made the stone demon feel frightened and frightened.

It's just because Jiang He said: "It's a pity that there are rocks all around, and I can't conjure a wood-attribute weapon." ”

The frightened stone demon sank into the ground, sinking deep, deep, to ensure that Jiang He's long sword would not stab it, in fact, it forgot that Jiang He was holding a stone sword at the moment, and it was useless to damage it.

"Roar!" The angry voice of the stone demon came from the depths of the ground: "Damn Pengkeng Village, you actually found someone to deal with me, you can't forgive! I want to calm you and make you regret it." ”

"Oops. Jiang He exclaimed, feeling the strong earth attribute of the underground stone demon suddenly move rapidly along the land in the direction of Pengkeng Village.

Jiang He hurriedly said to Chen Chen, who was in a daze: "Hold on to me, you must rush back to Pengkeng Village immediately." After that, he carried Chen Chen, but fortunately, this kid was well-behaved and held on to the river tightly.

"Thaumaturgy - open the mountain and tear the soil, break!" Jiang He knelt on one knee, put down the stone sword, supported his knee with his left hand, pressed the ground with his right hand, mobilized the soil attributes, and recited the formula.

A crack suddenly appeared in front of the stone cave, which was five zhang long and two zhang wide. Jiang He picked up Chen Chen on his back and jumped out, like a meteor flashing, and he also flew in the direction of Pengkeng Village.

Although the stone demon walked in a straight line along the center of the earth, his speed was slightly inferior to Jiang He, and Jiang He arrived at Pengkeng Village first, put down Chen Chen at the door of the ancestral hall, and asked him to help inform the whole village to gather here immediately.

Chen Chen replied and ran away quickly.

The villagers passed on ten, ten to hundred, and notified each other to gather in the ancestral hall, at this time, the earth attribute representing the stone demon had arrived, and the earth began to shake.

Jiang He still knelt down on one knee, but this time he pressed his hands to the ground, and he and the stone demons snatched control of the land from each other.

It didn't take long for the shaking earth to stop, but Jiang He could feel a large number of earth attributes converging in the center of the stone demon, and it seemed that he was going to use a stunt - the earth shook the mountains.

Jiang He's expression was tense, and it took about a quarter of an hour to prepare for the earth to shake and the mountains to shake, and compared to this offensive thaumaturgy, the range that guardian thaumaturgy could protect was much smaller. At this moment, the villagers came one after another, and the speed at which the stone demons launched their thaumaturgy was obviously not as fast as their own, but if they launched the earth and shook the mountains at this moment, I don't know how many people would die in Huangquan.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, at this moment all the villagers have arrived at the ancestral hall, nervously looking at the half-kneeling river. Everyone whispered, but Jiang He's expression was focused on the stone demon and didn't listen carefully.

Village Chief: "Ahem, Prince Jianghe, but what happened. Seeing that Jiang He didn't say a word, he still maintained a strange posture.

So Old Chen turned to Chen Chen, who came to interrogate: "What happened?"

Chen Chen was hugging Grandma Lin tightly at the moment, and only turned around when he heard the village chief ask him, and replied in a naïve tone: "I don't know the specifics, it seems that the stone monster called the mountain god is coming to attack our village, and Brother Jianghe asked me to inform everyone to come here to gather." ”

I heard that Jiang He really angered the mountain god, and now he wants to take revenge on Pengkeng Village, thinking of the tragic scene of the past. Many villagers couldn't hold back, some complained, some wept, and some sighed.

Zhou Kui: "No, don't, noisy." All safe, quiet. ”

Zhou Bin: "Don't panic, since the little brother Jianghe has summoned us, he must have thought of a way to protect our safety, and we should unite at this moment, instead of complaining." ”

Chen Lao also signaled everyone to keep quiet, and asked everyone to believe that what Jiang He Gongzi did must be for everyone's good.

Half an hour, half an hour, it took the stone demon to launch the earth and shake the mountains. Jiang He was also speechless, he knew that the stone demon was so stupid, so he would have attacked it directly with wood thaumaturgy, there were mountains and forests everywhere, and the wood attribute was also very abundant.

Now that he missed the opportunity, he let the stone demon start to shake the earth and the mountains, so he could only hold this place first and then make plans.

The ground began to shake again, and the scale was stronger than before, and the villagers watched as the mountains in the distance began to slide, and the earth cracked one after another, and the houses that once lived in them collapsed one after another, and the livestock and birds that broke free from the walls began to scatter in all directions.

Although it took a long time for the stone demons to use the earth shaking and mountain shaking, the power released was still on par with that of Jiang He, who worked hard to control the soil attribute to ensure that the villagers in this great ancestral hall were not harmed.

The shaking of the earth and the mountains lasted for a quarter of an hour before it stopped, and the village of Pengkeng, which was originally like a paradise, was now devastated. There are crumbling walls everywhere, scattered stones, and most of the Yamada have not survived.

The villagers stood in the ancestral hall and stared blankly at the dilapidated home like hell on earth, full of anxiety and disappointment about their future lives. Except for a few who kept their sanity, most of them had lost their minds and began to denounce Jianghe's evil deeds, complaining that Jianghe had angered the mountain gods.

Jiang He didn't care about these at the moment, he walked like a meteor, rushed out, found a crack in the earth, jumped down directly, and looked for the stone demon.

Now the stone demon must not have time to launch a second earth shake, and must defeat it before it can deal damage again.

The stone demon never expected that this bastard boy would actually be able to protect an inch of pure land and protect those villagers when it launched the earth to shake the mountains.

The stone demon wanted to attack again, but there was a slight touch of footsteps on the ground, and judging from the speed, it was the natural enemy called Jianghe, no! Nature's instinct caused the stone demon to feel a sense of crisis, and it immediately began to wander wildly among the mountains, regardless of its ability to walk through the land.

Jiang He locked the earth attribute and chased it until he reached the end of the mountain, and finally caught the stone demon who showed his head to see the situation, and took advantage of the surrounding woods to temporarily transform the wood cage to trap the stone demon inside.

Jiang He was very angry, this bastard actually did such a bad deed for his own selfish desires, and the people and gods were angry, and after the crime was revealed, he actually wanted to use thaumaturgy to involve more innocent people, which is simply unspeakable and unforgivable.

"Little brother Jianghe, and slow down. A mighty voice sounded in his ears, and Jiang He turned his head to look, and it was the phantom of the white tiger floating in the air.

Jiang He: "Holy Beast White Tiger, what's wrong with you? Are you trying to save this evil stone demon?"

"Little Brother Jianghe, I also noticed that something was wrong here through your high-level gathering of earth attributes, and then learned the reason why you chased and killed the stone demon through my mind. The white tiger paused for a moment and continued, "But the stone demon, you can't kill it. ”

Jiang He roared, "Why? It killed so many people, even destroyed the whole village...... But the sacred beast I worship will protect it. Do you want him to continue to do harm?"

White Tiger: "Calm down, I know little brother Jianghe." I won't let it continue to hurt, but the stone demon represents the heart of the whole mountain, and if it dies, the mountain will lack cohesion, and the whole mountain will collapse, and more innocent people will be implicated. ”

Jiang He's heart was shocked: I couldn't imagine that this guy with endless disasters actually represented the heart of the mountains and forests. But it hurt many innocent children, and the actions he did to Pengkeng Village in retaliation for Jiang He saving Chen Chen.

Jiang He forcibly suppressed the urge to stab the stone demon to death with a bamboo sword: "So, Holy Beast White Tiger, what are you going to do with it?"

Seeing that Jiang He's breath was relaxed, the white tiger knew that he was not the kind of person who insisted on going his own way, so he comforted: "Although the crimes committed by the stone demon and the people who were killed are irreparable, let it atone for its sins now." I'm going to put a mental shackle on it!"

"Mental shackles?" Jiang He murmured.

White Tiger: "Yes, shackles of the heart. Those spirits that are generated by their own attributes, such as stone demons, flower demons, etc. In order to avoid new harm caused by these spirits, and once the spirits are killed, we will restrict the spirits of this attribute. Once the shackles of the mind are used, these spirits will be permanently obedient and will no longer do evil. ”

After hearing this, Jiang He's dissatisfaction gradually disappeared: "Since this is the case, why not use the mental shackles on them in the first place." ”

The white tiger shook his head slightly: "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't, in this vast land of mountains and rivers, maybe a hundred years, maybe a thousand years, or even ten thousand years, new spirits will be generated, and these spirits are all sleeping, most of them will not take the initiative to harm the world, but only exist as a balanced force." These spirits will be awakened when man does more harm to nature than nature can bear. Or volcanic eruptions, or tsunamis, torrents, or shaking of the earth, to punish those who take excessively. ”

Jiang He nodded, asking what he should do next.

White Tiger: "You need to cooperate with your blood, and then condense the earth attribute in the palm of your hand, and then do this...... Call me here. The shackles of the mind need to be carried out by our holy beast deities. ”

Jiang He said he understood. Then he cut his right index finger and wrote the word "soil" in blood on the palm of his left hand. Then he closed his eyes and condensed the earth attribute in the palm of his left hand, and suddenly pressed his left hand to the ground and called: "Thaumaturgical Psychic - Holy Beast White Tiger!"

The white tiger presented the deity, huge, majestic, very kingly, the stone demon in the wooden cage saw the earth emperor, hurriedly knelt down, and the whole body trembled.

White Tiger: "Little Brother Jianghe, let it out." ”

Hearing this, Jiang He swung his sword to break through the wooden cage and released the stone demon.

The stone demon still knelt in front of the white tiger, not daring to act rashly, just like a slave was as frightened as he saw his master.

The white tiger raised his right claw and slapped at the stone demon with a strong wind, instantly slapping the stone demon into rubble.

Jiang He was also stunned when he looked at this scene: "Didn't you say that you use the shackles of the soul to make it obey permanently?

Without waiting for the rivers to think wildly, the white tiger's whole body began to glow, and he said: "My land is respected, I think of its earth, reshape your body, and the shackles of the soul cannot be disobeyed." ”

The white tiger then removed its giant claws, and the scattered stone demons suddenly began to recover with a center as a gathering point.

The stone demon still looks like the original stone demon, but he no longer has that arrogance, and he is as well-behaved as a grandson at the moment.

White Tiger: "This mountain is still guarded by you, don't hurt the living beings for no reason." ”

The stone demon nodded, and slowly sank into the earth.

White Tiger: "Little brother Jianghe, the matter has been resolved, then I will leave." ”

Jiang He: "Thank you to the Holy Beast White Tiger, if it weren't for your reminder, I would have almost made a big mistake." The white tiger smiled and nodded, turned into a white light, and disappeared.
