Chapter 25: The Incense Trade
Back at the mountain temple, it was late at night.
Wang Yi had been waiting in front of the mountain temple for a long time, and when he saw Bai Gu coming back with Lu Gong on his back, he rushed over.
"Why are you covered in blood?" Lu Gong smelled the smell of blood in the air, and looked intently, but saw that Wang Yi was mottled with blood.
Wang Yi placed Lu Gong in a good position and pushed him to the most comfortable position. "It's nothing, it's all dealt with."
Lu Gong knew that it must have had a fierce battle with the ginseng pickers in the mountains, and seeing that it was not injured, he didn't bother to ask.
A box, a monster, a god, a temple, a stone, a bright moon.
Shiratani sat on the stone and glanced up at the bright moon in the sky. "It's almost the Lantern Festival."
Wang Yi smiled and didn't interject. He doesn't have much say in this kind of festival that is unique to human beings.
Still, he likes how it feels now.
Lu Gong sorted out his thoughts and began to write down the arrangement.
"Find a place that the villagers can't reach, and start growing wild mushrooms as much as possible tomorrow."
"Wang Yi, can you ask your subordinates to help pick wild mushrooms?"
"It's not a big problem, but it's all rough guys, I'm afraid it won't be too good." Wang Yi told the truth.
Lu Gong smiled: "It's okay. Two copper plates, for the villagers of Longfu Town, can be exchanged for some wild goods, which is definitely worth the price. ”
Bai Gu was also aware of Lu Gong's approach, but he had a lot of worries about this kind of behavior.
Especially for today's rash appearance in human society, it is even more worrying.
"This method can indeed gather incense in a short period of time, but the disadvantages are not small, if it arouses the idea of the county government, the gains outweigh the losses."
Lu Gong could understand his concerns, and couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "What I want is to arouse the idea of the county government and let them send someone." ”
Bai Gu was puzzled.
For him, it would be best if he could try not to have contact with people.
His own move, to a certain extent, is also unruly.
"Senior Mountain God, just do it. I'll take care of the rest. Lu Gong said with a smile.
Bai Gu sighed slightly, got up and walked to the mountains and forests below.
Now that he has made up his mind, he will give it his all, this is the only thing he can do now.
Wang Yi also got up, bowed to Lu Gong and said, "I'll go and comfort Brother Bai." ”
He leaped into the mountains and forests.
"Brother seems worried!" Wang Yi walked lightly and followed closely behind the mountain god.
The mountain god shook his head, trying to get all his worries out of his mind. "I don't care what happens to my old bones. What I'm worried about is that once this incident gets bigger, it will end up dragging him down. ”
"Do you think the gentleman cares?" Wang Yi said directly.
Bai Gu lowered his head: "He doesn't care, I care." With his ability, he shouldn't ruin his good future for me, a bad old man. ”
"Brother is too worried." Wang Yi said seriously.
For the wild boar essence in front of him, Bai Gu actually didn't have a deep understanding. It's just that it seems that overnight, they have inexplicably become "like-minded people".
"Brother, there's something I don't know if to say." Bai Gu stared at him, and when he saw Wang Yi nodding, he continued: "Actually, I'm curious, why do you respect Lu Gong so much. Don't tell me anything, you think he's a high-ranking person's nonsense...... None of us are fools. ”
Wang Yi smiled. "Does it matter if he's a superior or not?"
Shiratani turned his head abruptly and stared at him.
Wang Yi was leisurely, walking leisurely through the woods, as if he remembered the scene of the first meeting with Lu Gong, and the big mouth with fangs that had not been completely put away was actually a little inexplicable smile.
"Brother thinks, if I don't know my husband, what will happen in the end?"
Bai Gu suddenly frowned, and when it came to his mouth, he still couldn't say it.
There is no doubt that with the current practice of the Hua Dynasty, mountain spirits like Wang Yi cannot escape the worst ending.
Shiratani's attitude says it all.
It's just that Wang Yi doesn't mind this. "If it is not my race, its heart will be different, and all the demons in the mountains will be discussed by the monks in the world."
In the dark night, Wang Yi's red eyes suddenly shone brightly. "People call us demons, and they want to get rid of them as soon as possible. But sir is different......"
Wang Yi paused and continued: "Only Mr. treats me as a human being!" ”
Bai Gu was suddenly stunned!
When people look!
A mountain monster who wants to be seen as a human being? It's a ridiculous joke!
Shiratani knew he wasn't joking!
"Because of this, you let him give him a name?" Bai Gu is still a little difficult to accept.
Speaking of giving names, Wang Yi seemed to be happy all of a sudden. "I like the name my husband has given me."
Shiratani looked at his happy appearance, and suddenly it was difficult to associate him with a wild boar spirit.
It's just that he still can't understand Wang Yi's decision. Why entrust your life and piety to a stranger you haven't seen before?
Does it feel that Lu Wei has risked the world to change its fate?
Bai Gu thought about it, and finally sighed.
I can't help myself now, how can I still have the leisure to worry about this?
After walking into the depths of the mountain and choosing a perfect location, Shiratani began to cast a Shinto spell.
In this way, for two consecutive days, when hundreds of acres of ground wild goods were stacked on top of each other, and there was no end in sight. Shiratani leaned against a big tree and fell into a deep sleep.
Wang Yi stayed with him, watching Bai Gu turn into a half-human-tall old ginseng, he folded his hands, bowed deeply to him, and soon summoned a group of wild boars.
In the early morning of the third day, countless footsteps broke the tranquility of Qinglan Mountain.
Shiratani reassumed into his human form and opened his eyes with a tired face. "It's really old."
He turned his head, only to see dozens of wild boars ready to go.
They don't know where they got the baskets, and they carry the wild mushrooms in them, looking like a convoy traveling from afar.
"Let's go, man." The wild boar spirit gave an order, and the mighty army of wild boars marched towards the mountain temple with thousands of catties of wild mushrooms on their backs.
Along the way, when the mountaineers saw dozens of wild boars appear, they panicked at first, but when they found that Shiratani was among the wild boars, they were immediately relieved.
The scent of wild mushrooms on wild boars quickly stimulates their sense of smell.
"It's those wild mushrooms that have recently appeared in Longfu Town!" Someone had sharp eyes and let out an exclamation.
During this time, a group of villagers selling wild mushrooms appeared in Longfu Town.
These wild goods are of high quality and are deeply loved by the people of Longfu Town.
Soon, someone guessed what the mountain gift was in the mouth of the mountain god this time, and frantically flocked to the mountain temple.
"Take your time, everybody." Shiratani was squeezed into the crowd, and he was unable to do anything.
The lit incense enveloped almost the entire temple of the mountain. Wang Yi was beside him, helping to maintain order, and he was very busy.
It wasn't until night that all the villagers who had incense left.
