The man opposite was holding a sharp sword in his hand and was covered in white clothes.

If you can walk into your cave silently, you will definitely not be an ordinary person, and your practice will definitely be extremely profound.

Especially the sword, the hilt of the scabbard was very simple, but the exposed sharp blade was not known for how long it had been, and the light made it difficult for me to look directly at it.

As we all know, as a monster who can't see the depth of the cultivator, either run away or beg for mercy, this is the key to survival. Those who disdain this will not end up being very good, and even some will be very miserable. Although I have transformed myself and have had opportunities over the years and have a profound and outstanding cultivation, I still feel guilty when I meet this man in white who can't see the depth of the cultivator.

The "mountain master" looked at the person in front of him, his mouth was a little dry.

The opponent's spiritual sword was half-sheathed, and it seemed that it would slash on his neck the next moment, but he still thought it could be explained to save the fate of the darkness.

Fang Chang held the hilt of the scabbard with both hands, maintaining his current posture, and said with a faint expression:

“Since there is something about ‘speak well’, then just say it?”

"Please collect your sword."

Seeing that the other party seemed more reasonable and did not take any ruthless actions, the monster called the mountain master silently relaxed his guard and then said tentatively.

"Can."

Fang Chang moved his right hand and returned the Lingquan sword into the sheath.

Although this demon who had transformed into a great demon had a deep cultivation level, Fang Chang could clearly feel that he could be equal to the other party without his hands. Now that the Lingquan Sword is by his side, he is even more confident and kills the other party on the spot in one move.

Then, he walked to the side, pulled a horse stool and sat down, signaled the monster opposite to him to sit down, and said directly:

"I'll ask, you answer."

"...Please." The monster who was organizing the language was stunned for a moment.

"Are the villagers of Shangshan Village and Xiashan Village paying you tribute?"

"……yes."

“What are their tributes?”

“…it’s a young girl.”

"Where have those girls gone? You killed them or eaten them!" Fang Chang asked.

"No, no, please calm down." Seeing Fang Chang's tone become higher and strict, the monster was very nervous, afraid that the other party would suddenly hurt the monster, so he quickly explained: "They are all living well and are not in the mountains now."

"Where did you get it?"

"...I, I've sent them down the mountain to study."

“Um…”

Fang Chang was very surprised to this answer.

Because of his success in his practice, his mind could sense the world and clearly notice that the monster opposite was not telling lies. He retracted his right hand and pinched his fingers slightly. He calculated that the girls were indeed alive, far away from the mountain. However, after pondering slightly, he still asked:

"Where is the evidence?"

"...No." The monster's tone was depressed.

Seeing that he was about to give up and was about to fight desperately at any time, Fang Chang smiled and said, "I believe you are telling the truth. Judging from your appearance, it doesn't look like you are doing evil. Tell me, why do they call you the 'Shanzhu'?"

The monster sighed softly and recalled the past and said:

"Your Excellency has a high level of cultivation. You can see that I am a monster. I did not grow up in the mountains. My feet and I are in the southwest. Since I have achieved success in my practice, I have traveled all over the world."

"Later one day I came here and saw that this place was good, so I occupied the cave and settled down. Although this place is considered poor and bad for humans, I live very comfortably, but it is a bit cold in winter."

"The Shangshan Village and Xiashan Village are the only villages within a radius of 100 miles. Relying on the fields in the valley, the population is prosperous, but most of the villagers are hopelessly superstitious."

"They set up a bunch of messy temples by the village, offering chaotic gods. Many of them have to worship gods even if they empty their family background, and some even worship people."

"I looked very angry, so I pretended to be the 'Shanzhu' and showed off some magic tricks, which made the fools kneel down and beg for blessings, and then made this request, so that they should not worship those wild temples too much."

"In order to ensure that they are obedient, they also threatened that if there is any contradiction, they would cause disasters to be brought down. It is not difficult to make the valley have good weather, after all, the place is narrow."

Fang Chang carried the Lingquan Sword behind him again, nodded to him and said:

"I came from two villages and found those temples. Fortunately, they are just going to burn incense now and have not emptied their wealth to worship. It seems that this is your achievement. Speaking of which, where have you sent the girls who are treated as tributes?"

The monster bowed his hand, put down his guard and said:

"Although I asked for tributes, I definitely couldn't raise these girls, and there was not much land here. Fortunately, I had traveled outside and had some ways to send them down the mountain to a private school in the city to study. In order to prevent the exposing, I also agreed with them not to go back to the mountains. Since the two villages always chose the poorest and most bullied one on weekdays, the tributes were not in conflict with each other."

"Every year when I send someone down the mountain, I will go and take a walk. After I read, some of these girls go on the road of imperial examinations, become female officials, some choose good people to marry, and some scattered into all walks of life, becoming shopkeepers, accountants, documents, or learn folk art to go on stage, and they all have their own excitement."

"It's not entirely based on interest. Later I found that whenever I do this, I will always have merits. I have gained a lot of help in this practice, so I have devoted myself to it more seriously."

Fang Chang bowed slightly and bowed:

"Re-recognize it, there are some people in the bottom."

The monster quickly replied: "Your Excellency is highly cultivated and reasonable. I admire you very much. I also named myself Shanqing."

"Good name." Fang Chang praised.

Shan Qing gave Fang Chang to the table next to him, and brought out a few snacks. Both sides sat back and called the girl who was silently observing the situation in the field, asking the poor man who had drunk sugar water for a few days and had never eaten dry food to cushion his stomach.

"This mountain looks relatively barren, how does it supply many people with study?" Fang Chang asked.

"Actually, I'm quite rich." The monster Shanqing said, and then he took a few boxes and showed them to Fang Chang. They were all gold nuggets that were melted together by clumsy techniques. "After living in this cave, I found that it was actually a gold nugget, so I dug it out and expanded my living space at the same time."

"But for girls sent down the mountain, I can only find someone to take care of them. I will give you a certain amount of money. How will your life be in the future depends on their own luck."

Fang Chang said goodbye soon after, and Shanqing wanted to give him some gold, but he declined and said that he was also a person with a mine at home.

The custom of the green mountain is to set off down the mountain that day and send Yang Xiangyu to a private school in the city.

This is how it is every year, it is not a haste.

As for what the prototype of the monster Shanqing was, Fang Chang did not ask and did not care much about it.

After all, this doesn't matter.

Walking out of the cave, Fang Chang looked at the snow and sunshine outside, raised his body, and walked leisurely in a certain direction.

He is looking for some trouble for existence.
