Volume 2 A Dream in Huangzhou Chapter 10 The Power of the Mountain God
Taiwu Mountain.
This is the largest mountain range in the eastern part of the country.
Although this is nothing compared to a super giant mountain range like the Falling Sword Mountain Range, compared to the mortal world, this place can also be regarded as a big mountain.
The huge mountains bring inconvenience to transportation, and the inconvenience of transportation brings isolation and sin.
Therefore, there are several large bandit forces on Taiwu Mountain.
Of course, this is not small and only relatively speaking, and for the imperial court, this is only a category of bandits that does not need much attention.
Of course, most of these people are not ordinary bandits, and they also have to work part-time as river bandits.
In other words, Jiang bandits are their main business.
As mentioned earlier, there are no bandits in Yunzhou.
Indeed, these bandits are already in Huangzhou, or in other words, their main business scope is Huangzhou.
There is a large section of Taiwu Mountain that is very close to the Huanglong River, and the Huanglong River is a big river of Caoyun, and these bandits can earn enough as long as they occasionally go out of the mountain to rob some merchant ships.
As long as the officers and soldiers came, they immediately hid in the Taiwu Mountain, so the imperial court repeatedly suppressed the bandits, but they still could not completely eliminate these bandits.
Later, these bandits actually formed a wonderful balance with the imperial court.
Bandits have always been there, if the court is strong, the bandit power will be weak, the court will be corrupt and weak, and the bandit will become stronger.
In recent years, the freight volume of Huanglongjiang has been even better, and the strength of the imperial court has been unprecedentedly strong, and it has always paid attention to the work of suppressing bandits, and the suppressed bandits have been breathless, and almost all of them have shrunk into Taiwu Mountain.
You may think that in this kind of high-level world, it is not difficult for the imperial court to really make up its mind to suppress bandits.
After all, the strength of the imperial court is so strong, it is not a problem to take out a few innate powerhouses, or even martial arts powerhouses.
Okay, Wu Dan may be a bit exaggerated, but in any case, just a few innate powerhouses can easily solve the bandits who have been plagued by Huanglongjiang for hundreds of years.
However, the imperial court did not do it, and even never lined up an army to search in the mountains.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that the bandits are familiar with the terrain, but there is another reason.
Just like the Huanglongjiang River, although the folk are called so, but the official name should be the Yellow River, Taiwu Mountain, although it has always been called Taiwu Mountain, and even in recent years, court officials have begun to occasionally use the name of Taiwu Mountain, but its official name is actually Taiwu Mountain.
Although the words Wu and Wu are homophonic, their meanings are completely different.
The reason for this phenomenon is not a simple mistake in the transmission, but something really happened in Taiwu Mountain, which made the people preconceived that it should be the word "Wu".
And this is also the reason why the imperial court is reluctant to send troops or strong people into Taiwu Mountain.
Far from it.
Although there is indeed some kind of weirdness in Taiwu Mountain, but over the years, there have been very few incidents, and even if there is, it must have been caused by bandits in the end.
However, the rumors about Taiwu Mountain have never been broken.
……
After Zhu Chuyu entered the mountain, he was in good spirits.
He has read a lot of folk tales, in which the protagonist is after being nervous all the time, he relaxed his vigilance a little, and issued a statement such as "What, it turned out that he was nervous in vain, how can there be ghosts in this world", and then he was quickly killed by ghosts, and finally those old people also persuaded seriously:
"So, Xiao Zhu, although you are smart, you must not underestimate those things, if you are a little careless, you will fall for their way!"
Zhu Chuyu is convinced of the truth of "not listening to the old man, suffering in front of you", although this conviction has just started and has never been heard of before, but he still decided to be cautious.
As for his cautious approach—
"I said, Brother Zhu, if you are next to me like this, I am really worried about whether you have any special habits."
Zhu Chuyu, who was following behind Qin Zi, smiled awkwardly, Rao was still a little embarrassed with his face.
"Isn't this an admiration for Brother Qin's talent, and I want to learn from you."
Qin Zi sighed, he was really a little helpless, how could this kid be so daring.
"Hey, Brother Qin, don't get me wrong, I'm not cowardly, I'm cautious, cautious, do you understand, if I have the magic power to turn the clouds and rain, if I move my eyelids, I will lose."
Qin Zi didn't want to pay attention to him a little, so he could only let him go.
It was Zhang Biao in front of him who attracted his attention a little.
The group had just entered the mountain and was now in a small forest.
This road should be often walked by merchants, although it is still a little steep, but there is still a relatively slow road, and it is not so strenuous to walk.
Zhang Biao had been at the front of the line, and now he actually took out some food from his luggage.
They followed him to a clearing where there was a large tree in the middle, but now only a stump remained.
Qin Zi's eyes narrowed slightly, this body shape was not normal, it was already bigger than Mu Mu's body.
His mind moved slightly, and he asked Mu Mu about the stump.
After all, he hardly takes the initiative to diverge his spirituality on weekdays, so it is not easy to be noticed by those who have cultivated in his body.
Mu Mu was different, her true spirit had been so stable that it was almost imperceptible, Qin Zi felt that just this means of spiritual control would take tens of thousands of years to cultivate.
"Childe, there should have been a demon here, but it has been destroyed, leaving only a stump that looks big."
Qin Zi nodded slightly, similar to his own conjecture, if there were really any monsters, these people had walked this path for so long, it was impossible for nothing to happen once.
It's just that Qin Zi was a little puzzled, Zhang Biao, what are they going to do, looking at this posture, do they want to sacrifice this dead demon?
But I saw Zhang Biao quickly arranging food on the broken bowl on the stump, and then inserting a few sticks of incense in the incense burner, and said to the others.
"Everyone, come and worship, this is the throne of the mountain god, and we are also going to spend the night at the mountain temple on the mountain tonight."
Qin Zi saw that everyone else was surprised, even those scholars, although they were a little confused, they didn't feel that there were some problems.
Qin Zi: "......"
Mu Mu: "So, Childe, are they sacrificing to the mountain god on the monster that may have been eliminated by the mountain god?" And say it's the seat of the mountain god? But even if the mountain god really used the monster's corpse as a seat, why did they put food on the mountain god's seat? What a strange mountain god! Mu Mu didn't forget to sigh in the end.
Qin Zi looked at their behavior, and was a little speechless for a while: "Maybe, it's strange that these people-"
Qin Zi suddenly paused before he finished speaking, because he felt the manifestation of the mountain god Zhente Niang!
An extremely strong gaze was cast from an unknown place, and Qin Zi faintly felt that this gaze seemed to come from a single grass and tree on this mountain.
"It's really manifested!" Mu Mu said in surprise.
Indeed, although this breath is mixed with some strange ingredients, it does not hide the magnificent aura of the righteous path in it, that is, the so-called incense divinity, which is undoubtedly the mountain god of Taiwu Mountain!
"Not good!" Qin Zi said secretly in his heart.
At that moment just now, his mind was slightly lost, and his spiritual fluctuations were large, which was very obvious in the eyes of the existence of a cultivator like the mountain god.
Sure enough, at the moment when his spiritual fluctuation, that powerful aura cast his eyes on Qin Zi.
Vaguely, Qin Zi seemed to hear "Huh? "A bang.
He complained in his heart, and now he was discovered, and he didn't know what to do.
After all, if he dealt with the ghosts that Zhang Biao encountered, he was a little confident, but the strength of this mountain god was obviously not so simple, if it was really right, if he didn't move Mu Mu, he might not even be able to run.
But if you send out Mumu......
He was still a little hesitant, Mu Mu's state was obviously wrong, and there would inevitably be problems if he insisted on making a move.
Let's see if we can resolve it peacefully. ’
The mountain god didn't seem to expect that among the pedestrians passing by, there would be such a cultivator with a strange breath.
Qin Zi could clearly feel that the aura was gradually getting stronger, and there was a faint feeling as if there was a big hand that wanted to suppress him.
Who is Qin Zi? He has the self-confidence that he doesn't lose to anyone, how can he bow his head to a little mountain god?
He narrowed his eyes, his mind focused, and his true spirit began to come alive to resist the coercion from the mountain gods.
The mountain god seemed to be surprised by the strength of Qin Zi's spirituality, or surprised that such ants dared to resist, in short, he paused slightly, and then strengthened his coercion.
Qin Zi did not show weakness and competed with him.
Just kidding, if he made a direct move, Qin Zi promised to admit it immediately, but this released a little breath, like overpowering himself? That's too contemptuous!
Although the mountain god is strong, it is certainly not unreasonable.
A somewhat strange cultivator suddenly appeared in his territory, and he was following a group of mortals who had just sacrificed to him, so he would definitely pay attention to it.
Qin Zi understands this, but he will not be easily convinced, which shows his attitude.
"I don't know where the little demon came from, but he also wants to make Childe bow his head?"
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded in Qin Zi's mind, although it was still beautiful, it was extremely cold.
At his waist, the emerald green sword trembled slightly, as if it would be unsheathed at any moment.
"it!"
Qin Zi was so frightened that he almost screamed.
Sister, no, let's just fight for breath, why do you have to fight with others?
Qin Zi hurriedly went to appease Mu Mu.
The mountain god thought that Qin Zi couldn't hold it anymore, and increased his coercion a little more.
Qin Zi was on fire at that time, the tiger didn't threaten you and I was a sick cat, do you really think Lao Tzu is muddy?
At this moment, the jade pendant on Qin Zi's waist emitted a faint light, faintly exuding a breath, it was the jade pendant that Aunt Ning gave him!
The breath of the mountain god stopped instantly, was silent for a moment, and then slowly dissipated.
"Falling Sword Sect, I haven't seen it for a long time, it seems that this god has a lot of heart......"
A voice that only Qin Zi could hear sounded in his head, and that voice was mellow and upright, and when he heard it, he was the mountain god of Taiwu Mountain.
Qin Zi got a good idea, so he naturally wanted to express it, and bowed his hand slightly.
In the eyes of others, this scene was that Qin Zi was stunned for a while, and then bowed.
Zhang Biao thought that this was Qin Zi who didn't believe in the mountain god, but he didn't say anything, after all, the mountain god was generous, and in the past, there were some scholars who were known as "silent strange powers", and they were only willing to bow their hands.
However, Zhu Chuyu noticed something abnormal, leaned over and said curiously:
"Brother Qin, did something happen just now?"
Qin Zi glanced at him and said quietly:
"Your brother Qin almost cut down the mountain god of Taiwu Mountain just now......"
Zhu Chuyu thought he was bragging, after all, in his eyes, although Qin Zi had a lot of specialities, he was probably still a person, and the level of the mountain god was not within the reach of people.
He had no taboos, but ran to the stump and saluted respectfully, and said with a word in his mouth:
"The mountain god is on top, bless the little one to enter the Guanlan Academy, and then the imperial examination will go well, and he will be the champion in the examination, and he should not be too high as an official or anything, just give a slaughter to the top, and the rest ......"
Qin Zi: "......"
