Section 256, The Mountain God's Disappearance [Part 1]
When Xiaobai thought of those little monsters, he felt a little emotional, so he didn't teach them a lesson. After all, they did this for their own safety. Fortunately, they just used rain to stop people from going up the mountain. If they used some vicious magic, Xiaobai would have taken action to solve them, so there was no verbal rebuke.
"So they are those little demons! Did they say why the mountain god suddenly disappeared?"
"They don't know the situation, so they see people so panic. And they ask me to help them find the mountain god. I just couldn't bear it and agreed, Liu Shoucai, don't be angry, okay?"
Xiaobai looked at Liu Shoucai, afraid that he would get angry because of this, but fortunately, Liu Shoucai just twitched his lips, did not get angry or looked ugly, so Xiaobai felt relieved.
"You! You like to meddle in other people's business. You used to say that I like to meddle in other people's business, but now I don't care about other people's business, but you are here to join in the fun. I really don't know what to say about you."
"I'm not just because I see that everyone is quite leisurely recently! Besides, we haven't left these days, so we can just stay and help them! They are all very pitiful, and they are not those bad monsters. At most, they are called elves and are not considered monsters."
"Forget it, you have already agreed to them anyway. If you don't help, the villagers at the foot of the mountain will be in trouble. It's better to help them, as this will be a helping villagers at the foot of the mountain."
Liu Shoucai sighed helplessly, but chose to help the little demons. Seeing that Liu Shoucai agreed, Xiaobai immediately smiled happily. Lu Gui and Lao Er also smiled. They were really worried that Liu Shoucai would disagree just now, because after they saw the little demons and animals, they were also anxious and upset for them.
"First ask about the flowers and plants here and ask them if they know it. Perhaps they are more reliable than the news about the little demons. Second brother, please give me."
"Yes, Master, I'll go right away."
Just when Liu Shoucai asked his second son to inquire about the news, the rain outside stopped. Seeing the little demons in the mountains accepting Liu Shoucai and others' identities, Liu Shoucai also felt much more relieved. He had just been worried that the little demons here would reject his human identity.
"It's great, they are finally willing to accept our identities. Let's go! Let's investigate too. You can't stay in this cave for the coolest time!"
Liu Shoucai felt much more relaxed, so he was so happy to joke. When everyone saw that Liu Shoucai's mood suddenly improved, they all let go and chatted. After going outside and breathing the fresh air, Liu Shoucai used magic to sense the position of the mountain god before.
"I found it. To the southeast, let's go and take a look at the mountain god's nest."
Liu Shoucai said that, he took Badou and the others to the mountain god's nest. After walking for about half an hour, everyone arrived at the mountain god's nest, but there was no damage here. Because little demons came to clean the place every day, the mountain god's nest looked very clean.
"I really didn't expect that the mountain god temple was so luxurious. This mountain god lived a good life! I was a little jealous when I saw it."
"This is also a donation from the people at the foot of the mountain. However, the mountain gods are gone, and the little demons are not allowed to come up at the foot of the mountain, so there is no incense here, but it's very strange. I always feel like something is missing here. Do you have this feeling?"
Xiaobai said and looked around. Liu Shoucai looked at it carefully, and felt that the mountain temple was a little strange. It seemed as Xiaobai said, as if something was missing.
"I remembered that it is a worship box. Since people often donate here, there are naturally no worship box. But look, the other things in the temple are still there, but there are fewer worship boxes. Do you think the mountain god ran away with the donated money?"
"Stop funny. The things in this mountain god temple are all his. What can he run away? Besides, no matter how much money is in the offering box, it is impossible for the mountain god's golden body to be valuable! Look at the sculpture of the mountain god, it is pure gold, and the things in this hall, which one is not priceless!"
"That's right. Unless the mountain god is stupid, he will not just take away the offering box. Then how did he disappear?"
Xiaobai looked helpless. It really couldn't figure out why. When Liu Shoucai saw that Xiaobai couldn't figure it out, he sighed, but in fact he couldn't figure it out.
"You said, could it be that the mountain god encountered something urgent? Or, he was killed?"
"This may be there, but we don't know where to start the investigation now. Forget it, let's continue to inquire about the news! See if there are any key clues. The second little Bai Lu Gui will open you three."
"Don't worry! We will continue to inquire about the news, but what should we do if those people at the foot of the mountain? We were invited by the patriarch to rescue the villagers this time, and now we left them and ran upstairs to meddle in other people's business. What if they ask us for it? They can't go up the mountain at the moment."
"I'll tell the patriarch, don't worry about those people, they won't have anything to do now. We are now focusing on finding the mountain god. The mountain god is gone. This is a big deal. It will not only affect the animals and plants on the mountain, but also the people at the foot of the mountain. So this matter is very serious, and everyone must cheer up."
"I understand, go and go back quickly! We'll continue to inquire about the news."
Xiaobai also knew that it was an extraordinary time, so naturally he would not have any trouble with Liu Shoucai. He quickly disappeared from everyone with his second son and Lu Gui, while Liu Shoucai used teleportation technique to return to the village.
"Oh, Master Liu is here! I have been looking for Liu Shoucai in the village for a long time just now. I thought you left quietly, which scared me."
As soon as Liu Shoucai came back, the clan leader came over. Seeing the clan leader's expression of relief, Liu Shoucai felt a little moved. In fact, he had wanted to leave quietly before, but when he saw those innocent people, Liu Shoucai gave up the intention of leaving quietly.
"Don't worry! If I want to leave, I will naturally tell you, let alone, if the people are innocent, I will naturally protect their safety. Badou and others have encountered some things on the mountain, so they will not come back for the time being in the past few days. I will rush over later, so I will tell you specifically."
"What happened to you on the mountain? I'll ask someone to go with you master immediately."
"No need, you can't help much, you can only drag your feet. Moreover, the monsters on the mountain are not allowed to go up the mountain casually. You just need to take care of the things in front of you, and don't worry about the others."
"Okay, then thank you Master Liu. If you need our help, please tell me."
"I know, okay, I've brought it to you, so I'll leave first. You must take good care of the people in the village. You must do the rituals sincerely these days. You must not anger the resentful spirit anymore, otherwise, I really have no way to save you."
"Yes, yes, yes, master, don't worry, I will definitely be optimistic about everyone and will not let everyone do anything randomly. After all, this is related to the fate of the people in our entire village."
The patriarch dared not be careless. After all, this is a matter of life, and the lives of his family are also under control, so how dare he be careless!
Seeing that the patriarch agreed, Liu Shoucai didn't say anything more, turned around and left with teleportation. The patriarch watched Liu Shoucai disappear from him with a gaze. He always felt as if he had seen a god. His arrogant heart was already hit by Liu Shoucai without any confidence.
"This is the master! Alas! How can I compare with him!"
After sighing twice, the patriarch shook his head and went home, while Liu Shoucai returned to the mountain. Seeing that Liu Shoucai was back so soon, Badou's face showed a smile.
"It seems that your skills have improved again recently."
"I have been forced to do this and that. It would be strange if my skills are not good. We don't have to worry about the things at the foot of the mountain for the time being. Now we just need to concentrate on finding the mountain god. However, we don't have the contact information of those gods, so how could we know where he is now? If I had known that this would happen here, I would have asked the old gods to teach us some ways to contact the gods before, and it would be better than the ones who are one or two of them now."
"Haha... no one knows what will happen tomorrow, so we couldn't have known that such a strange thing will happen now. Let's think it out! Xiaobai and the others have just found some clues. When they come over, we'll ask carefully."
"It's good to have clues. What I'm worried about is that there is no clue, and I'll be powerless at that time."
Someone from Liu Shoucai was bored. The disappearance of this mountain god has something to do with him. Even if he found the mountain god, he would not get any benefits! And shouldn’t the matter of the gods be controlled by the Heavenly Court? Why did he get involved in this matter with a mortal?
The more Liu Shoucai thought about it, the more depressed he felt, but now he knew that he could not speak casually. After all, he had already agreed to those little demons. If he regretted it again, he would probably suffer the people at the foot of the mountain. This is not the result that Liu Shoucai wanted to see, so he could only continue to bite the bullet and look for the mountain god. As for whether he could find it, it depends on the will of heaven.
Just as Liu Shoucai was thinking about the problem, Xiaobai and the others ran back. Their solemn expressions made Liu Shoucai feel a bad premonition.
"How is it? Are there any bad discoveries?"
"Well, the clues we investigated are indeed not very good. Liu Shoucai, I think you will definitely not think of them."
"Let me tell you what's going on."
Liu Shoucai came to listen to Xiaobai's words with a patience. Xiaobai sighed and said, "We just found out that the mountain god had been here before the demon god. The demon god had been here. Not long after the demon god left, the mountain god disappeared."
"Damn it, how could it be related to the demonic path? It's so troublesome now..."
Liu Shoucai had a headache. He did not expect that the disappearance of the mountain god was related to the demon. As long as the matter of the demon was involved, Liu Shoucai had to think about the man in black. The man in black was definitely a powerful existence for Liu Shoucai, and Liu Shoucai naturally could not compete with him. Thinking of this, Liu Shoucai couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh! It seems we are going to stop and tell the little demons! The other party is a big man we can't afford to offend, we can't help them, let them choose a mountain god or a protective god, or something else! This is their territory, let them decide on it themselves! I guess their former mountain gods can't come back, and how many people who fall into the hands of the demons and the others will be safe and sound."
"That's right, but are we going to let it go? Why do I feel so depressed?"
Xiaobai also looked helpless, but there was no way. If he had known that this would be the case, he would not have easily agreed to the little demons to investigate this matter.
"Go! Tell them the truth first. As for their choice, we have no right to ask about it. You must warn them and not make things difficult for the people at the foot of the mountain, because they are innocent. If they hurt those innocent people, I will really take them away."
"Don't worry! I will warn them that they won't mess around, so will we go down the mountain now?"
"Well, it's useless to stay here, let's go!"
Liu Shoucai was in a very depressed mood and didn't want to tell Xiaobai too much, so after he explained the matter clearly, he took Badou and the others down the mountain, and Xiaobai went to find the little demons. When Xiaobai told the result, the little demons all showed sad expressions, which made Xiaobai feel uncomfortable.
But Xiaobai also knew that it was not the time for women to be kind, so after it finished talking about the matter, it also warned the little demons not to harm the villagers. Seeing that the little demons agreed, Xiaobai flew away from the mountains.
"Master Liu, why are you back so soon? I thought it would take you a long time to come back."
As soon as the patriarch left the door, he saw Liu Shoucai and Badou standing in the yard, so he immediately ran over to say hello.
"After finishing the work on the mountain, I will naturally come back. There is nothing wrong in the village!"
"It's okay, everyone is fine, don't worry."
"Well, it's fine. I'm really worried that something will happen to everyone. Okay, let's go and rest first, let's talk about it tonight!"
"Okay, Master Liu, you have a good rest. If you have any needs, go directly to the old Mo family in the east end of the village to find me."
Liu Shoucai nodded, and after watching the patriarch leave, he took Badou and the others back to his room.
"Brother Liu, do we really not care about the mountain god's affairs anymore?"
"How about you? The man in black is so powerful. Are you sure to compete with him? I don't know what he wants to do, and the mountain god. Is he crazy? I know that the group of demons is not a good thing, but he still follows him. I really don't know what he thinks."
Liu Shoucai slapped the table irritably, then sighed fiercely.
"Brother Liu, do you think the mountain god had already joined forces with the man in black, so he was willing to follow the demon path?"
"Damn it, why didn't I think of this possibility? But why did he join forces with the man in black? The mountain god has so many believers, is there anything he has to worry about?"
"Many gods and immortals evolved from humans. People all have desires, so gods and immortals are no exception. Perhaps the mountain god also has his own selfish intentions and hit it off with the man in black, so he joined forces with him."
"We haven't seen the mountain god yet, so we can't tell you anything. When we see the mountain god, we're asking about his situation!"
"Do you think the mountain god is still possible to come back? He has left the demon path. Do you think he will come back here again?"
"I don't know if he will come back here, but I'm sure he will appear again. Otherwise, what's the point of leaving with the demon? Although I can't guess what the relationship between them is, as long as the mountain god is not annihilated, it will come out sooner or later."
"What if he is absorbed by the man in black? Also, why didn't he tell the little demons where they go when he left? Was he covering up?"
"Why do you have so many questions? Why are there 100,000? Why did he follow the demon path? How can I know? I'm not the worm in his belly. Okay, go back to your room to sleep! It's so annoying."
Liu Shoucai was completely furious. Seeing that Liu Shoucai was angry, Badou didn't dare to ask anything anymore. He hurriedly took Lao Yi and the others back to his room. After Liu Shoucai was left alone in the room, Liu Shoucai gradually calmed down.
As soon as Xiaobai came back, he ran to Liu Shoucai's room. Seeing Liu Shoucai standing alone in the room in a daze, Xiaobai asked curiously: "Liu Shoucai, why are you standing there in a daze! Are you still thinking about the mountain god?"
"I'm fine, how are those little demons? There's no turmoil!"
"No, they were very sad about the departure of the mountain god, but they had no intention of harming the people at the foot of the mountain. After all, it was not the people who took away the mountain god, so the little demons were very rational, don't worry!"
"It's good that they won't make trouble. I'm worried that they will run down the mountain to make trouble, and then I can only take action."
"Don't worry about them, please adjust your mentality now! Look at the way you look just now, you can scare people so much, your face is so ugly, as if someone owes you 100,000 or 80,000."
Xiaobai rolled his eyes as he said that, and was speechless at Liu Shoucai's gloomy face just now. Liu Shoucai smiled faintly after hearing Xiaobai's words. In fact, he knew that his face must have been bad just now, but because he was depressed, how could he pretend to be fine?
"Xiaobai, do you think we really have to give up like this? We took over the mountain god's matter. Do you think those little demons look down on us for this?"
