"Old man, could it be that there are really gods in Wuling Mountain?" Zhao Yu asked the white-haired old man.

"I don't know, I was a teenager at the time, and when adults said that there were gods, I naturally believed it. The white-haired old man said.

Zhao Yu said: "What about later?"

The white-haired old man said: "Later, a fire suddenly came out of this Wuling Mountain, dyeing half of the sky red, and then the mountain inexplicably caught fire, burning all the trees on the mountain. After this change, the fog on the top of Wuling Mountain disappeared, the temperature on the mountain also changed, it became very hot, the trees and medicinal herbs withered, and some nearby villagers went up the mountain to cut firewood at first, and then died on the mountain inexplicably. Xianshan has since become a nightmare for people, and what is even more terrifying is that there is a magma eruption on the top of the mountain, which has set the trees of several nearby mountains on fire, and later everyone knows that Wuling Mountain is actually an active volcano, but why it has become like this, no one knows. ”

The white-haired old man sighed for a while, and then said, "At that time, people said that they had offended the gods, and some said that there was a reason why demons had descended on this mountain. For this matter, the town spent a lot of money and hired a lot of Taoist priests to do it, but the result was still ineffective. Many people say that the mayor of the town has done bad things behind everyone's back and offended the gods, so everyone will suffer from this, and the mayor of the town does not know how many have been replaced, and as long as the mayor of the town does a little bad thing, he will be arrested by the townspeople and burned at the stake to dissipate the wrath of the gods!"

Zhao Yu said angrily: "What a cruel practice!"

The white-haired old man choked up and said, "My father was the mayor of the town at the time, and because of a small mistake in taxes, he was falsely accused of corruption and burned to death!"

Tears welled up in the old man's eyes, it had been so long, and it was heart-wrenching to recall it.

Zhao Yu said angrily in his heart: "This Fog Spirit Mountain has become like this, it must be because of the Fire Spirit Bead. The old fire monster used to do evil, and the fire spirit bead also harmed a lot of people!" But he changed his mind and said: "This is naturally no wonder of him, maybe he didn't expect this kind of result, he is still good to me!"

Zhao Yu respectfully kowtowed to the white-haired old man and said, "Old man, I can get rid of the demon spirits of Wuling Mountain and give everyone a comfortable living environment." ”

The white-haired old man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, his body was shocked, and he looked at Zhao Yu again, how do you look at it, he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he doesn't look like he is lying, so he said, "Really?"

Zhao Yu kowtowed again and said, "How dare you bully the old gentleman with words." ”

The white-haired old man burst into tears with excitement, helped Zhao Yu up, and thanked him a few times.

No wonder he was so agitated, his father was burned at the stake when he was a child, and he wanted justice for as long as he could remember. Who knew that he was incapable, he almost lost his life when he went up the mountain several times, and he didn't find out the secret of Wuling Mountain. As he grew older, this long-cherished wish has been buried in the depths of his heart, like a sharp knife stabbing him all the time, and now he suddenly heard the person dressed as a young man say that he could solve the demon spirit of Wuling Mountain, how could he not be excited.

Zhao Yu looked at the tears in the corners of the white-haired old man's eyes, his heart was sour, and he poured a cup of tea for the old man to show comfort.

The white-haired old man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said apologetically: "The old man lost his temper, which made Xiaoyou smile." ”

Zhao Yu smiled silently.

After a while, the old man's mood improved a lot, and he spoke: "I don't know when Xiaoyou plans to go up the mountain to get rid of the demon spirit." ”

Zhao Yu said: "Tomorrow, I plan to go up the mountain at noon tomorrow." ”

The white-haired old man exclaimed, "What?

Zhao Yu said: "Is there any problem?"

The white-haired old man put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Wuling Mountain has now become an active volcano, and it is extremely hot all year round, and it is as hot as a steamer throughout the day, especially at noon. If you want to go up the mountain, it is best to choose early in the morning, when you can climb to the top of the mountain, so as not to be roasted to death by the fire halfway up the mountain!"

Zhao Yu thought to himself: "I didn't expect this, it turns out that it is not easy to fool people, especially the elderly, since they are fooled, let's fool to the end." Then he said: "My husband doesn't know, in a day, only the noon Yang time is the weakest time for the demon spirit, if it is not easy to get rid of it at other times, the noon Yang Qi is strong, just get rid of this demon!"

When the white-haired old man saw Zhao Yu opening his mouth to get rid of the demon and closing his mouth to get rid of the demon, he said it lightly, as if he was describing a very easy thing, he was overjoyed, and said: "I don't know what kind of help the little friend needs from the old man? In terms of human and financial resources, the old man can make some efforts." ”

Although Zhao Yu looked full of confidence when he said it, the white-haired old man still couldn't believe that he could eliminate demons at a young age.

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "No need, my husband just prepares some ropes for me, that's all, there is no other need." ”

The white-haired old man said, "This is easy to say, easy to say! I don't know where the little friend is temporarily staying?"

Zhao Yu reported the hotel where he lived, and the white-haired old man said that he would come on time at noon tomorrow, and then chatted with him a few more words, and left happily.

Zhao Yu drank tea for a while, thought about the plan for tomorrow's noon trip, and left the restaurant after checking out, and went straight to the hotel where he lived. After returning to his residence, he fell asleep, looking confident about the trip to Wuling Mountain.

At noon the next day, the white-haired old man arrived at Zhao Yu's residence early, followed by two young people about the same age as Zhao Yu, coarse linen clothes, looking unusually strong, it is estimated that they are the grandsons of the old man, each teenager has a large bundle of ropes coiled around his shoulders, and some other mountaineering tools in his hands.

Zhao Yu was a little surprised, he didn't expect the old man to think so thoughtfully.

After the white-haired old man saw Zhao Yu, he let go of his hanging heart, and hurriedly greeted him and said, "Xiaoyou, I have prepared what you want." ”

The two teenagers behind the white-haired old man swept Zhao Yu with stunned eyes, it was hard for them to imagine that a person about their age was actually a master who could subdue demons and eliminate demons in his grandfather's mouth.

Zhao Yu said: "Trouble the old man, I'm ready, let's go now." ”

The white-haired old man said, "Good, good." ”

Tearless Town is seventy miles away from Wuling Mountain, for Zhao Yu, who can fly things, it is only a blink of an eye, but for ordinary people, it is indeed a short distance, not to mention an old man, plus two teenagers.

The white-haired old man was still thoughtful, and he had already prepared a carriage, and he insisted on giving Zhao Yu a ride.

Seeing the kindness of the white-haired old man, Zhao Yu did not refuse.

The carriage drove little by little on the uneven mountain road, after nearly an hour, the road became more and more difficult to walk, and a hot breath came to the face, and after walking for nearly half an hour, the clothes of Zhao Yu and the other four people were soaked with heat, and the horses pulling the carriage were drenched in water as if they had just bathed.

Feeling the heat of the surrounding climate, the white-haired old man frowned even more, and motioned to the grandson who was driving the carriage to stop the car, and he politely said to Zhao Yu: "Little friend, there is Wuling Mountain ahead, I don't want to send it again, the heat here is not something that mortals can bear, please forgive me!"

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "It's okay", and got out of the car with the old man.

Not far ahead, a big red mountain sits, the whole mountain is bare, there is not a single tree, the mountain is full of red magma, the top of the mountain is indeed a red light coming out, like a flame burning.

The white-haired old man pointed to the red mountain in the distance and said to Zhao Yu: "Little friend, this is Wuling Mountain, the entire mountain range is covered with magma all year round, and it is very difficult to climb. This mountain is now an active volcano, the top of the mountain is the crater, every once in a while will spew out magma, I have been observing for decades, but I can't find the pattern of volcanic eruptions, this volcanic eruption seems to be related to the demon spirit on the mountain, you have to be careful!"

Zhao Yu took the rope in the hand of a young man, hung it on his shoulder, said goodbye to the white-haired old man and the other three, and walked towards Wuling Mountain......

The white-haired old man looked at his back with concern until he turned into a small dot and disappeared from view.

A young man spoke: "Grandpa, this little brother looks the same age as us, can he really get rid of the demon spirits on the mountain?"

The white-haired old man looked at the talking grandson lightly and said, "I don't know!"

Another teenager said, "Grandpa, what are we going to do next?

The white-haired old man looked at the soaked clothes on his body and said, "Go back! It's extremely hot here, and if you stay here for a long time, your body can't bear it." Let's wait for news from him at the intersection ahead. ”

Naturally, the two teenagers had no objection and drove back the way they came.

Today's Wuling Mountain is really evil, the closer you get to this mountain, the higher the temperature, Zhao Yu wiped the sweat beads on his forehead with his sleeve, and took out a picture from his arms. There is a mountain drawn on the map, and the shape of the mountain is very similar to this fog spirit mountain, this picture is naturally the map of the hidden fire spirit bead drawn by the fire old monster, and the map marks the location of the cave of the hidden beads, and also marks the best shortcut to the mountain.

Zhao Yu carefully looked at the map for a while, checked the mountain again, and confirmed that the mountain drawn on the map was the foggy spirit mountain under his feet, so he began to climb the mountain according to the route drawn by the fire old monster.
