Chapter 369 The Missing Mountain God

In the [Wulin] world, the natives of Guandong are called the Jueyan tribe. They have been fishing and hunting for generations. They are tough and believe in shamanism. They use animals in the mountains and forests as totems.

As more and more people from the Central Plains leave the pass, the Jueyan tribe gradually becomes civilized. More and more Jueyan people give up their relatively primitive living habits, especially the southern Jueyan people near Juehou Pass. Relying on the large plains and fertile land, they also begin to cultivate farmland, build villages and cities, live with the Central Plains people, and enter the pass for trade.

With years of mixed living, most of the southern Jueyan people can no longer see the difference from the Central Plains people.

But further north, where the climate is colder, the mountains are more rugged, and the forests are more lush, there are still many Jueyan tribes that respect traditions.

Now, standing in the lobby of the Baicao Chamber of Commerce, these few people wearing animal skins are from the northern Jueyan tribe in the deep mountains!

"Girl, don't talk nonsense..." Seeing that the girl from the Jueyan tribe was holding the ginseng tightly, Lu Youcai immediately called for help, and the bodyguards of the Chamber of Commerce came and surrounded several Jueyan tribe members.

"These medicinal herbs were collected by us herbalists in the deep mountains. Could it be that your Mr. Chang is growing medicinal herbs in the deep mountains and forests?" Lu Youcai sneered: "As far as I know, you Jueyan tribe members in the north can't even grow food, let alone medicinal herbs..."

"Mr. Chang is not a human!" The girl from the Jueyan tribe argued: "Mr. Chang is our mountain god. The medicinal herbs you have here are all from his valley!"

"Mountain... Mountain God?" Lu Youcai looked at a face that didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Girl, I respect your beliefs, but as the saying goes, there are gods three feet above your head. According to If you say so, in this world, every mountain has a mountain god, and every river has a river god. Doesn't that mean that the trees on the mountain and the fish in the river all have owners? We, the people living between heaven and earth, will just starve to death..."

"These are different!" The girl continued to argue: "These medicinal herbs were carefully cultivated and cared for by Master Chang all year round... Now, the medicinal herbs have been dug up by you, and Master Chang is nowhere to be found... What did you do to Master Chang?"

When she mentioned this, the girl blushed, and the several Jueyan tribe members behind her also looked annoyed, with their hands on the hilts of their swords at their waists.

"Wait..." Hearing this, Luo Jun came up: "You said that these herbs are personally guarded by your mountain god?"

The girl looked at Luo Jun, with doubt in her eyes: "Who are you?"

Luo Jun smiled and said: "I am the herbalist who brought these herbs."

Hearing him say this, the girl's bright eyes revealed anger: "You are the herbal thief!"

"Huh?" Luo Jun raised his hand: "Let's talk, when I went to collect herbs, I didn't see anyone, I didn't see any mountain gods, and I didn't sneak around. I got this ginseng openly. dug it up!"

"Impossible!" the girl said angrily: "For many years, Master Chang has never left the valley. Now the medicinal herbs have disappeared with him. Since the medicinal herbs were dug up by you, you must know the whereabouts of Master Chang?"

"I really haven't seen any mountain gods..." Luo Jun spread his hands, suddenly stunned, and then frowned: "Wait... What does the Master Chang you are talking about look like?"

The girl said: "Master Chang is the mountain god of Moshan, and his Dharma image is a giant snake!"

As soon as these words came out, Luo Jun and Lu Youcai widened their eyes. Giant snake?

So, the giant snake killed by Luo Jun to take out the gall is the so-called mountain god?

Because it is not easy to sell, the snake gall was not put on the auction house, but through Xu Bo's relationship, the heads of the martial arts sects were contacted separately to find a sales channel, so these people of the Jueyan tribe did not see Master Chang's gall from the treasures announced by the Chamber of Commerce.

So, I killed the god?

Feeling absurd, Luo Jun couldn't help but look at the girl opposite him with some embarrassment.

As a relatively primitive ethnic minority, it is not uncommon for the Jueyan people to worship powerful animals as mountain gods. Luo Jun has no guilt for killing a big snake... But after all, this is their belief. In front of them, I really don't know how to admit it...

"Have you seen Uncle Chang?" The girl keenly caught the change in Luo Jun's expression: "Where is Uncle Chang? It is already 999 years old. It will take off and turn into a dragon in one year. Our tribe will also grow stronger under his blessing! Tell me quickly, where is Uncle Chang?"

"This..." Luo Jun hesitated: "I said that it is all feudal superstition, do you agree?"

"What are you talking about? I don't understand!" The girl continued to ask about Uncle Chang's whereabouts: "Tell me, where is Uncle Chang!"

Just when Luo Jun didn't know how to answer, a roar from ancient times suddenly came from the north!

"Ahhhhhh..."

This roar was different from any animal cry I had ever heard before. As the sound rang out, the entire Baicao Chamber of Commerce, and even the entire ground of Badaoji, began to tremble slightly...

Earthquake? No, feeling the shaking under his feet, an absurd idea suddenly emerged in his mind.

This is the earth shaking because of fear!

Because, along with this roar, there is also a strong pressure!

This terrifying pressure made everyone in Badaoji at this time, whether they were ordinary people buying and selling medicinal materials, or wandering martial arts knights passing by, unconsciously collapse and tremble all over!

Even Luo Jun felt his heart beat a few more times for no reason!

This coercion comes from the genetic instinct, the fear of superior creatures!

Even though Luo Jun was like this, Lu Youcai and the bodyguards and thugs from the Chamber of Commerce around him naturally couldn't hold on any longer. They either fell to the ground and twitched, or ran away with their heads in their hands.

In contrast, the few indigenous people of the Jueyan tribe were not intimidated by the coercion.

But looking at their reactions, they seemed to be even more frightened.

"It's Li Mazi!" Several people looked at the sky with horrified faces: "Li Mazi has come out of seclusion!"

"Who is this Li Mazi?" Luo Jun was confused when he suddenly noticed that a large group of dark clouds floated from the north and instantly enveloped the sky above Badaoji. Then, accompanied by a thunder, heavy rain poured down...

"The power of clouds and rain..." Several Jueyan clan members rushed out of the front hall and stood in the yard, looking up at the sky despite the heavy rain, with shock on their faces: "Li Mazi, he actually succeeded?"

success? What is success?

Luo Jun also came to the yard and looked up at the thunderous dark clouds. A slender and huge figure was leaping and rolling in it, looming.

Could it be that... Luo Jun suddenly remembered what a classmate said in casual chat before coming to participate in the internship.

"I heard that dragons really exist in the [Martial Arts] world!"
