Chapter 520 Confrontation (Two in One)

Sister Bian did not come to the mountain this time. Although she had not been in the village for a long time, she was still a villager of the mountain village after all. She still had to abide by the rules of the mountain god and could not go up the mountain this month.

Every time the guide girl dragged him up a slope, Xia Wange would find a shady spot, light a stick of incense, and wait for the smoke to rise and dissipate.

Then when she moved to the next slope, Xia Wange would light another one. Every time she saw the light smoke dissipate, her face would become darker.

Finally reaching the top of the mountain, Xia Wange lit the incense again and found that the smoke from the incense was still scattered. Even when the wind blew, the smoke remained shapeless.

This time, Xia Wange did not extinguish the incense in advance, but instead led everyone to wait quietly not far away.

While waiting, she casually looked around, her eyes stayed on one place for a moment, then she pointed at a pile of things under the tree and asked, "Is this some kind of fungus?"

The guide girl looked in the direction of Xia Wange's finger, then immediately trotted over, pulled aside the weeds, looked at a small piece of mushroom, and said in surprise: "This is Alpinia ternata, it's very delicious. Pick it and ask Sister Bian to fry it. It will be absolutely delicious!"

"On April 8, fir mushrooms bloom." The guide girl said as she filled a cloth bag with them, "I'll look around a bit. This is the most expensive and delicious at this time. You may not be able to buy it even at over 80 yuan per pound. And you can find it if you look around. You guys go do your own thing. I'll go look around."

After that, the guide girl started looking around. Bai Yuyao saw it and said to Zhou Qingze, "I'll go and help, and try to pick more."

"Alstroemeria..." Lu Qiu looked at the mushrooms they had picked for several times, thought for a while and said, "When I came up just now, I seemed to see this in many places. At that time, I thought it was a poisonous mushroom."

"I also saw those little white mushrooms." Lu Qiu described them, "They were small, white, and a little thin."

When the guide girl heard this, she hurried over to ask Lu Qiu in detail what he saw. Lu Qiu described it carefully. The guide girl sighed, "If I'm not mistaken, it's May mushroom. This thing is more expensive, more than 200 yuan per pound. We must return along the same route later and try to pick more."

After saying that, the guide girl went to look for the chicken mushrooms around, as if she wanted to catch all the things around.

"There are really a lot of mountain products on this mountain." Xia Wange exclaimed.

Just following the guide girl up the mountain, I found so many fungi, and they are not cheap. If you look carefully in the mountains, even if you don’t pick such expensive ones, you can still make a lot of money in a day...

No wonder the young man took the risk to go up the mountain. He couldn't pick mountain products for a whole month, and after this season, the mushrooms would not taste good or could not be sold at a high price.

The most important thing is that the mountain god only restricts the villagers, not outsiders. There are also many outsiders who come here to pick mushrooms and then sell them. If everyone can abide by the rules of the mountain god under normal circumstances, it is common sense to take risks when they are really short of money.

At this moment, the incense had burned out. Looking at the burnt incense, Xia Wange took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

"Is this..." Zhou Qingze asked carefully, "Looking for gods or ghosts?"

"It's a ghost." Xia Wange said.

Zhou Qingze was silent.

The smoke from the incense is scattered and not gathered, which means there are no ghosts or monsters on this mountain.

A normal mountain would not be so clean even if it had a mountain god. This means that the mountain god here devours all alien creatures, regardless of whether they are good or bad. Can such a mountain god still be called a god?

Even a demon couldn't be so extreme.

Xia Wange took out a very short incense stick wrapped in talisman paper and put it in Lu Qiu's hand.

Then Xia Wange took a step back, holding a lighter in one hand and a wet towel in the other, and said to Lu Qiu: "I'll light it right away, and I'll put it out as soon as smoke comes out. Then we'll be able to find out..."

Having said that, Xia Wange raised her hand and lit the incense. The next second, as a puff of smoke came out, she put out the incense.

Everyone's eyes were focused on this wisp of incense, which was completely different from the previous ones. This time the green smoke condensed and did not dissipate, but kept circling and lingering until it dissipated.

Seeing this scene, Xia Wange's lips curled slightly but her eyes were cold. She continued with a half-smile, "Then we will find out that there is a mountain god who has been watching us. It is clearly a god, but this is the first time I have seen such a secretive behavior."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly arose in the surrounding area. Not only were leaves and stones falling, but even the wooden stakes half-sunken in the soil seemed to be blown by the wind. The strong wind had been brewing and was gradually getting stronger.

When Lu Qiu saw this change, he wanted to stand in front of Xia Wange, but Xia Wange stopped him.

At the same time, a strong wind gathered and headed straight for Xia Wange's face!

Xia Wange calmly took out a piece of talisman paper, held it between his fingertips and held it upright in front of him. In just a moment, the talisman paper collided with the strong wind!

The strong wind came crushing towards her, and the talisman paper in her hand was like a sharp blade that could break the wind, splitting everything that was swept by the wind in half.

After three breaths, the talisman paper on Xia Wange's fingertips began to show signs of burning, and the talisman paper that was originally upright also began to show signs of collapse. Seeing this change, she narrowed her eyes slightly, gently shook her left hand with the jade bracelet, and then lightly flicked the top of the talisman paper, and the talisman paper that was about to bend instantly stood up again.

Still breaking the wind!

The wind grew stronger again, as if it wanted to release all the strength that had been accumulated before. Xia Wange held the wrist of her right hand steadily with her left hand, and the jade bracelets and jade rings on both hands were visibly dimming.

At this moment, after a loud "bang", Xia Wange's talisman paper and the strong wind dissipated between heaven and earth at the same time.

The surroundings were completely quiet. If it weren't for the crooked grass and trees still serving as a reminder, everyone would have thought that everything that had just happened was an illusion.

Zhou Qingze looked at Xia Wange in shock as she stood calmly in front of them, her eyes full of horror.

She was actually fighting with the mountain god? !

And not losing yet?

Seems like a draw?

"You also know my ability!" Xia Wange, who had been standing there for a long time, said in silence, "You also know that I still have a trump card. If you don't want to fight anymore, just release the souls of those three people and we can live in peace. Otherwise..."

Before she finished, Xia Wange paused and tilted her head as if she was listening to something. After a while, she said, "Although he is your believer, he has not been punished to such an extent. You should think about it carefully. If you let him go, we can go our separate ways. Otherwise, I will come here again to ask for your soul."

After saying that, Xia Wange waved his hand and led Lu Qiu and others down the mountain. The guide girl and Bai Yuyao, who were hiding nearby picking mushrooms, quickly followed.

On the way down the mountain, the group walked very fast. When passing a slippery place, Xia Wange slipped on a rock and was hurriedly supported by Lu Qiu. At the moment of contact, Lu Qiu was suddenly startled when he touched the other's cool skin.

He vaguely saw blood seeping from the corner of Xia Wange's mouth. When Lu Qiu was about to hand him a tissue, Xia Wange squeezed his hand and said in his heart: "No need to give me tissue. I'm pretending to be cool now. I have to pretend to be cool back in the village. Don't show off. Anyway, just hold my hand for a while. I'm fine."

[Just now when we were hedging, I was shocked. ]

Lu Qiu: “…”

[Oh my god, this mountain god bull seems to have been worshipped for a long time. It is so powerful. It may have absorbed a lot of the spirits’ improved skills. If the talisman paper was not drawn with my blood, I might not be able to withstand it! ]

[But fortunately, I managed to tie with it. Although it didn't use its full strength, it was still able to scare it. Maybe it saw that I was difficult to deal with, and considering your presence, it released its soul. In this way, we can be considered to have won without fighting.]

[If we really fight him... it's going to be very difficult, and if he won't let go, it's no use just winning the fight, we have to kill him.]

[If I want to destroy a god... I have to ask my master to come. If I want to destroy a god, that would be too much. I can't even imagine it. From what I can see, it's very difficult to defeat it! It feels like it has two kinds of power mixed together. Fortunately, I used the jade spirit when suppressing the talisman, otherwise I really couldn't resist it just now.]

[The cost of killing it is too high. If it doesn’t let me go at night, I will go find my master.]

[Find a suitable reason for me to take a break and slow down. I feel like there is always blood coming out. ]

Lu Qiu had been holding Xia Wange's wrist, half supporting her. When he heard this, he glanced around and said to the guide girl, "It's over there. The white mushrooms I mentioned, the May mushrooms you mentioned are over there."

The crowd who had been rushing down the mountain stopped when they heard this. Zhou Qingze looked at Xia Wange in confusion, and when he found that the other party didn't say anything, he remained silent.

The guide girl, who had witnessed the flying sand and rocks just now, wanted to say something when she heard this. Why are you still picking mushrooms at this time? But when she saw Xia Wange sitting on a big rock fanning herself to take a rest, she rolled her eyes and said, "May mushrooms usually grow under fruit trees. I'll go and see if there are any fruits."

"Yuyao, go with her." Zhou Qingze said, "Please help and pick more."

"Okay." Bai Yuyao glanced at a few people and followed the guide girl into the woods.

Zhou Qingze waved his right hand casually. He glanced at Xia Wange, then looked at the copper coin in his hand, and then he breathed a sigh of relief without making any sound.

fine.

Less severe than a minor injury.

When I go to the hospital, I worry that if I go too late, the patient will get better.

But Lu Qiu didn't know. He just felt that Xia Wange, who was holding his wrist and sitting down, looked weak and helpless, extremely frail, and pitiful.

If Zhou Qingze knew what Lu Qiu was thinking, he would definitely yell in his ear: Wake up! No matter how weak someone is, she can't be weak! She is a woman who can stand up to the mountain god! Wake up!

Lu Qiu ignored Zhou Qingze's strange look. He saw Xia Wange sitting down, and then he was standing next to her with a small fan blowing on her face. He also took out some water from his bag and opened a cup for her to drink. He was just about to massage her shoulders and legs.

After drinking several sips of water, Xia Wange finally recovered. She found that there was blood at the corner of her mouth. It was not caused by the shock, but because she accidentally bit her mouth too hard during the confrontation. After this discovery, Xia Wange straightened her back instantly.

She brushed away the loose hair on her forehead and raised Lu Qiu's eyebrow slightly.

[Lu Qiu, do you know how powerful I was just now?! I am the one who has never lost in a confrontation with the mountain god! Although I don’t know if it was just a test or what, anyway, I will treat it as a full-strength attack. Wow~~ If this matter gets out, I will call Master Yu Xiaoyu when I see him! ]

Lu Qiu: “…”

Okay, it looks like everything is really fine.

Not only did she hold his wrist tightly, but her smug look also made her look very happy...

Tsk.

I can't bear to look at it.

[Everyone should have seen it just now, right? Is there anyone who can spread the news for me? Don't exaggerate too much, just say that I raised my hand and easily defeated the mountain god with just one move. Don't brag about it everywhere, keep a low profile. ]

Lu Qiu: “…”

Who was that person that I was shouting in my heart just now?

[Forget it, forget it. If this gets passed around again, the version will become one where I kill the mountain god with my bare hands. No, no, that won’t work.]

Although he thought it was impossible, Xia Wange couldn't help laughing when he thought of this.

[Let's be realistic and let Bai Yuyao spread the word that I can hold my own against the mountain god.]

[Oh, Qiuqiu, how could there be someone as amazing as me in this world? ]

Lu Qiu closed the cup with a snap and snorted.

Just now he looked half dead on the road, but now that he found himself fine, he started to show off...

Don't think he didn't notice that her hands were shaking just now.

That confrontation was not as easy as Xia Wange said.

Sure enough, after Xia Wange boasted to Lu Qiu in her heart, she fell silent again, pursed her lips and said in her heart:

[The talisman just now is the "God-killing Talisman" created by my master. I was able to draw this one with the help of my master. Whether it can be reproduced now is another matter. But this alone cannot kill the gods. A higher level of talisman paper is needed. I won't mention these. Just talking about the energy required to draw the talisman...]

Just when Lu Qiu wanted to listen carefully, Xia Wange let go of Lu Qiu's hand. She waved to Zhou Qingze who was resting on the side and said, "Zhou Qingze, your junior sister is very powerful, isn't she?"

Zhou Qingze was stunned. He looked at Xia Wange and shook the copper coin in his palm out of habit. He answered while looking down at the copper coin, "Why..."

He understood the answer after just two words. After a moment of silence, he said speechlessly, "Okay, I understand. I won't restrict her from telling others what happened just now. You can rest assured."
