Chapter 60 Cover
Outside the Wolf God Temple, Lu Heng sat in a small wooden pavilion, quietly looking at the sword furnace outside the mountain.
The feeling of boredom and horror in his heart never disappeared, making him a little uneasy.
After the admonition, the white ape went to the back mountain to chop firewood. And Xiao Ai was driven back by Lu Heng to practice - although the little girl wanted to stand by the Wolf God and wait for his orders.
However, although Xiao Ai left, she still offered the peach blossom wine she had prepared before leaving.
"Lord Wolf God, this is the peach blossom wine that Xiao Ai soaked with peach blossoms from the back mountain. The wine is a three-hundred-year-old wine..."
Xiao Ai offered the carefully brewed peach blossom wine, her eyes full of expectation.
Although Lu Heng didn't like to drink, he couldn't help but be curious about the taste of the peach blossom wine when he smelled the delicate fragrance of the peach blossom wine.
The peach blossoms in the back mountain have not withered since they bloomed in the middle of winter last year. You know, it's almost winter now.
The peach blossoms, which had been in full bloom for nearly a year, had neither withered nor borne fruit. Such an abnormal phenomenon surprised Lu Heng - could this peach forest be a spirit?
However, after checking, he found that the peach forest had no signs of becoming a spirit. It was just that the spiritual energy was surging, and the roots of the peach trees underground absorbed the spiritual energy of the water spirits all over the mountain.
The thunderstorm rain that fell once a month in the mountain, in addition to the spiritual energy that overflowed into the air, almost all the spiritual energy that was integrated into the soil was absorbed by this peach forest.
Seeing the abnormal phenomenon that the peach forest had been blooming for nearly a year, Lu Heng couldn't help but think of the legendary peaches, which bloomed once every three thousand years and bore fruit once every three thousand years.
Could the peach forest in the back mountain also become a similar spiritual tree?
Although it is impossible for the peaches to bloom and bear fruit for thousands of years like the peaches, the signs of this peach forest now show that it will take a long time for the peach trees to bear fruit.
Thinking in his heart, Lu Heng, sitting in the pavilion, poured a small cup of peach blossom wine.
Under the gloomy sky, when Lu Heng smelled the elegant fragrance, he felt a strange feeling that his body and mind were cleansed.
At that moment, it seemed that the dark mountain became sunny.
Such an extraordinary performance made Lu Heng lower his head in surprise, looking at the light red wine in the cup, and found that this peach blossom wine seemed to be more powerful than he imagined.
Without hesitation, Lu Heng raised the cup and drank the wine in the cup gently.
The cool and smooth wine has an elegant fragrance, and the soft and delicate touch is not as spicy as ordinary wine. Lu Heng closed his eyes and felt it, and subconsciously poured another cup.
Then the third cup, the fourth cup...
Unconsciously, when Lu Heng came back to his senses, he found that there was no drop of wine left in the small wine pot.
He couldn't help but laugh.
This peach blossom wine has such magic that it is simply irresistible.
After Lu Heng drank this small pot of fine wine, he also understood more clearly the real extraordinaryness of this wine.
Even a demon cultivator like Lu Heng, who has achieved great success in Taoism, can feel that drinking such a pot of wine has helped his cultivation. If ordinary humans drink this pot of wine, they will definitely prolong their lives.
This peach blossom wine carefully brewed by Xiao Ai can already be called a treasure.
He looked back in the direction of the Wolf God Temple, where Xiao Ai closed her eyes and meditated quietly.
Although he only needed to open his mouth to give an order, Xiao Ai would serve the remaining peach blossom wine, but Lu Heng was not a person who loved alcohol, and he had never drunk white wine in his previous life.
Even though this peach blossom wine was so extraordinary, he was not very interested.
After putting down the wine glass, Lu Heng looked outside the mountain again, and his mind flew away unconsciously.
After drinking this peach blossom wine, the feeling of horror and boredom in his heart also faded a lot, and he was no longer suppressed.
In the direction of the sword furnace outside the mountain, the fire was getting smaller and smaller, no longer as extremely terrifying as before.
Lu Heng guessed in his heart that perhaps the Heavenly Tribulation Sword was really going to be completed.
So the reason why he was so uneasy was because of the Heavenly Tribulation Sword...
In the afternoon, Hanyu Mountain gradually became quiet.
Lu Heng sat in the pavilion in a trance, not knowing what he was thinking.
Until a certain moment, the tranquility in the mountain was broken. A ray of light suddenly broke through the sky and flew from afar.
When Lu Heng in the mountain looked up and saw the figure in the light, Gai Yin also saw the heavenly punishment tribulation cloud covering the main peak of Hanyu Mountain in front of him.
Even though they were still far apart, Gai Yin could clearly feel the power of the tribulation cloud.
Thinking of the instructions of the witch master, he did not dare to neglect it. He immediately descended from the air and landed outside Hanyu Mountain and walked into the mountain.
Although the Shuisheng Village outside Hanyu Mountain was popular, his purpose of this trip was not this remote village.
As the Double Ninth Festival was approaching, Gai Yin, as the chief witch priest of Qianzhen City, should have served beside Wu Zhu Laoye and contributed to the fire god sacrifice during the Double Ninth Festival.
But Wu Zhu Laoye gave him a more important task, asking him to go to the remote Hanyu Mountain to pay a visit to the wolf god in the mountain.
Since last year's move of trees to establish trust, Qianzhen City has undergone great changes in this year. Wu Zhu Laoye used thundering methods to fight with the group of old clans.
Gongshu Jie, who has always been stubborn and rebellious, was suddenly able to suppress all the old clans not by force, but by the general trend of people's hearts. The group of old clans knew that there must be a master behind the scenes.
The whole Qianzhen City was speculating who was secretly helping Gongshu Jie, and many old clans were constantly trying to dig out the master hiding behind Gongshu Jie.
But Gai Yin, as Wu Zhu's confidant, knew that the existence that really affected Wu Zhu was not in Qianzhen City. He also knew how noble the existence that helped Wu Zhu was.
Therefore, when he was ordered to visit the Wolf God in Hanyu Mountain, Gai Yin was quite nervous. Although Wu Zhu said that the Wolf God in this mountain was a sage who had never appeared in the world, there was no need to worry.
But facing such a noble existence, Gai Yin was still afraid that he would be rude.
Therefore, he descended from the air before entering the mountain and walked directly towards Hanyu Mountain on foot.
However, after entering the mountain, Gai Yin found that the situation in Hanyu Mountain was a little unusual.
Except for the main peak in the depths and the primitive jungle behind the main peak, the outer mountains have completely turned into scorched earth, without any green.
And not long after walking in, Gai Yin discovered the existence of the sword furnace.
At this time, the fire in the sword furnace was almost extinguished, and it was no longer as earth-shaking as before. If a mortal passed by, he would never associate the existence of this sword furnace with the strange phenomenon in the mountain.
But Gai Yin was not an ordinary person. Even though the fire leaking from the sword furnace was almost non-existent, he was still clearly aware of the extraordinary nature of the sword furnace and the terrifying aura hidden inside.
After careful observation, he found that the casting style of this sword furnace was quite familiar.
This sword furnace... seems to be the work of the Jiuli tribe!
Gai Yin was slightly shocked, and then he remembered that when he entered the mountain before, he did see the tent camp of the Youfang tribe near Shuisheng Village.
It turned out that the Youfang tribe gathered outside the mountain was actually Jiuli?
Gai Yin had once come into contact with this legendary Youfang tribe sixty years ago, and knew that the nine tribes of the Li people were all outstanding people, and their metallurgical skills were unparalleled in the world.
But even the knowledgeable Gai Yin was shocked by the terrifying aura faintly emanating from the sword furnace at this time.
In this Hanyu Mountain, there are actually people of the Li tribe who open a furnace to cast swords?
And it caused such a great damage...
Gai Yin subconsciously looked in the direction of the main peak of Hanyu Mountain, knowing that the sword furnace of the Li people must have been approved by the Wolf God. But after causing such a great damage, the Wolf God also acquiesced...
The Wolf God in Hanyu Mountain is indeed as broad-minded and noble as the Wuzhu said. If he were a vicious person, he would have already brought down the wrath of thunder.
Thinking of this, Gai Yin's worries were slightly relieved.
He calmed down, did not look at the sword furnace of the Li people again, and continued to walk into the mountain.
The purpose of his trip was to pay homage to the Wolf God and offer gifts. Although the sword furnace of the Li people was extraordinary, it had nothing to do with him.
But when Gai Yin arrived at the foot of the main peak, he was a little confused when he saw the wide stone steps in front of him.
This... This seems to be different from what the Wuzhu said?
If I remember correctly, the Hanyu Mountain described by the Wuzhu was just a remote and primitive hill, right? Why are there man-made stairs nowadays...
Gai Yin was confused and walked up the stairs directly. Soon, he climbed to the end of the stone steps and saw the tree-lined path paved with bluestone slabs and the Wolf God Temple at the end of the tree-lined path.
Although the Wolf God Temple made of pure wood is not as magnificent as the Fire God Temple in Qianzhen City, it faintly exudes a majestic atmosphere that people dare not ignore.
The statue of the Wolf God in the Wolf God Temple is far away, but Gai Yin's extraordinary vision can still see it clearly.
Gai Yin became more and more uneasy.
The scene in front of him was completely different from what the witch said.
The low mountain temple was completely invisible... Did he go the wrong way? But the Wolf God is indeed enshrined in this temple.
Or has this place changed in the past year?
Feeling uneasy, Gai Yin stepped onto the tree-lined path.
Not far away, he found a hermit in white sitting in a small pavilion on the side of the road. When Gai Yin saw the other party, the white-robed hermit also looked at him with a smile on his face.
Gai Yin was slightly startled... He didn't even notice when the white-robed hermit appeared? Moreover, this person's temperament was ethereal and extraordinary. He just sat there, but he seemed to be integrated with this world, and was definitely not ordinary.
Out of caution, Gai Yin opened his Dharma eyes and looked at the other party again to prevent being harmed by evil spirits. However, under the Dharma eyes, the white-robed monk was surrounded by lightning and had a terrifying divine power.
At this glance, not only could he not see the depth of the other party, but Gai Yin was breathing hard, as if he had faced a terrifying heavenly punishment thunder tribulation, and his heart was horrified.
This white-robed monk... It seems that his whole body is made of heavenly thunder?
Gai Yin immediately guessed the identity of the white-robed hermit and bowed quickly.
"Gai Yin, the witch priest of Qianzhen City, greets Lord Wolf God!"
Under the dim sky, Gai Yin's forehead was slightly sweaty.
The moment he used his Dharma Eye to spy on the Wolf God, the terrifying pressure he felt almost shattered his Dao heart. Being able to maintain a calm appearance and not lose his composure was the limit of what he could do.
No wonder before coming, Master Wuzhu told him not to open his Dharma Eye in front of the Wolf God.
It turns out that it is so terrifying to pee into the gods with ordinary eyes...
