Chapter 21: The Land of Fulong Town
"Is the ginseng picker mainly a ginseng picker?" Lu Gong asked further.
The mountain god sighed, "If I just dig up a few of my children and grandchildren, I won't mind so much." They say they are ginseng miners, but in fact they are hunting and stealing minerals. Especially in the past few years, many ethnic groups in the mountains have almost disappeared. β
"When will they go into the mountains?" Lu Gong asked.
"According to what I've found, it should be a day or two away. As soon as they came, the villagers could no longer enter the mountain. The mountain god sighed helplessly.
Once they set up obstacles in the mountains, it will be difficult for ordinary villagers to go out after they come in, and after inhaling the miasma, it is even more likely to fall into the root of the disease.
It was not easy to rely on the method that Lu Gong thought of, so that the villagers could get some benefits and harvest some incense, and it would be destroyed so soon, Bai Gu was really unwilling.
Lu Gong looked at the mountain god, and was more worried about the impending catastrophe.
It seems that the city gods of Tianshui County have made up their minds to let the land of Fulong Town sit in the position of the mountain god of Qinglan Mountain as soon as possible, then they will definitely make a big move next.
This is also the biggest reason why Lu Gong followed.
"What about Wang Yi?" Lu Gong knew that there was a lot of friendship between the wild boar spirit and the mountain god now, and he didn't see him at this time, so he couldn't help asking.
Wang Yi was worried that the little cubs would be harmed, and had already found a good place for them to settle down in advance. I should be back soon. β
As he was chatting, the mountains and forests not far away shook, Wang Yi came out, saw Lu Gong on the stone, and immediately stepped forward in three or two steps, his crimson eyes were full of surprise. "The disciple has seen Mr."
"Are you all settled?" Lu Gong said with concern.
Wang Yi nodded: "Those are all trivial things. The disciple just went down the mountain and found that those ginseng pickers had already begun to close the mountain, and there were some conflicts with the villagers of several villages! β
The mountain god's face moved slightly. "So fast!"
A hint of coldness flashed in Wang Yi's eyes, and he snorted: "They should be here for you, Brother Bai." In addition to those ginseng pickers, there are also two wild cultivators, who seem to be prepared. β
Bai Gu's eyes were obscure, he sighed, and said, "What should come will come after all." β
"We can't let these thieves get their way." Wang Yi said in a deep voice. Since Lu Gong analyzed the stakes for him, it is now completely on the side of Bai Gu.
The arrangement of the city god is full of hostility.
"Sir, what shall we do?" Wang Yi asked.
"Let's see what they're going to do in response." Lu Gong thought about it, but decided not to stay quiet for now.
With Lu Gong here, Wang Yi seems to have the backbone, and he is no longer worried when he hears the words.
The mountain god lowered his head, but he couldn't settle down, and he sat on the stone outside the temple in a daze for two days.
Because of the closure of the mountain, the villagers are no longer able to enter the mountain. Although there were many complaints, they couldn't shake the group of ginseng pickers with official status.
On the third day of LΓΌ Gong's arrival at the mountain temple, the woods suddenly scattered and wild beasts ran away.
Wang Yi, who was swallowing the mountain aura behind the temple, suddenly turned his head and stared at the mountains and forests below, the red light in his eyes skyrocketed.
"Sir, here they are."
"You hide first." Lu Gong reminded.
Wang Yi jumped and didn't know where the flash went.
The mountain god propped up his crutches in both hands and took a deep breath to keep himself as calm as possible.
As soon as he got up, two figures had already landed in front of the mountain temple.
The two of them were dressed in Taoist robes, both carrying a peachwood sword behind their backs, one with a vermilion gourd tied to their waists, and the other with a gossip yin and yang fish, and they knew at a glance that they were orthodox Taoist priests.
It was the first time for Lu Gong to see a Taoist priest in such a formal attire, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Between the two eyes, a red vertical line was drawn on the center of the eyebrows, like a third eye.
They stared at Bai Gu with burning eyes for a while.
Shiratani was on crutches, staring at the two of them in the same silence.
"Please, God!" The monk tied to the gossip suddenly stamped his feet, and there were words in his mouth.
In the blink of an eye, a half-human-tall green figure in front of the mountain temple came out of the ground.
Compared to the land god that Lu Gong had seen before, this land god was twice as tall, almost half a person tall. If it weren't for that green face, he would be a round and jade human child.
He smiled.
"Brother Mountain God, it's been a long time."
Bai Gu crossed his eyebrows and said coldly. "What are you doing again?"
"My brother really asked knowingly. The younger brother came, of course, for office work. I don't know what my brother thinks about? β
Bai Gu snorted coldly. "As I said, unless the old decay decays in this mountain, he will not give up the position of this mountain god. You also tell Chenghuang to let him die of this heart. β
"What my brother said is too embarrassing." He smiled, but took out a scroll from his bosom, flicked it directly, and unfolded it in the air.
"Don't blame the little brother for not reminding you, if you sign this, the old brother can at least continue to live happily in this mountain, otherwise, the rest of the old brother's years will probably have to be spent in the home of a dignitary. You must know that a thousand-year-old ginseng is a rare but undesirable thing for the old man. He still had a smile on his face, but his voice was getting colder.
Bai Gu trembled with anger.
The other party is threatening him to pull out his body and give it to people as a tonic, which is the biggest insult to a god.
"Let's go. I'm not going to sign it. Hakuya was furious, pointed his cane at him, and shouted.
"That's not up to you, brother." The corner of the green man's mouth hooked, and he glanced at the Taoist priest next to him.
The two Taoist priests took a step abruptly.
"What do you want to do?" Bai Gu subconsciously took a step back, stared at them, and warned: "Don't forget, I am still the mountain god of Qinglan Mountain, if you dare to do something with me, thousands of living beings in this mountain will be seen in your eyes, won't you be afraid of retribution?" β
"Afraid? If we're scared, will we still be here? Do you think there is justice in the world? As long as I am the mountain god of Qinglan Mountain, who do you think will dare to resist this mountain creature......" He didn't care at all, staring at Bai Gu with a sneer.
The two Taoist priests drew their peachwood swords and approached Bai Gu step by step.
In the blink of an eye, Bai Gu had retreated to the front of the temple, and he knew that he had no way to retreat, so he raised the crutch in his hand and plunged it into his feet.
The next moment, two vines appeared out of thin air, growing wildly from the soles of the two of them, and instantly wrapped around them.
Seeing this scene, a trace of disdain flashed in the green villain's eyes, and he said with a smile: "It's really getting weaker, I didn't expect my brother to be weak to this extent." β
In the face of the vines, the two Taoist priests were unmoved.
I saw them holding swords in their chests, and reciting mantras in their mouths. The fire flashed on his body, and the vines instantly turned into flying ashes.
"Thunder!" Bai Gu let out a low snort.
There was a thunderbolt in the clear sky, a thunderclap sounded, and thunder flashed in the sky.
