Chapter 352 Mountain God
Jun Yan slammed on the brakes but failed to stop the car, and he and Jiang Ci rolled straight into the coal ash.
When the man and the fox got up again, they were all black and dusty, which made Niu Er laugh.
"Master Jiang, are you all right?"
"It's okay." Jiang Ci brushed off the dust on his body.
Jun Yan shook off the black coal dust and asked, "Why did you stop so suddenly? Did you take the wrong road?"
Jiang Ci looked around with a serious expression: "I'm not in the wrong place, but just a moment ago I felt a slight fluctuation of divine power nearby."
"Divine power fluctuations?" Jun Yan looked around. "This place has been mined without restraint, and all the resources have been exhausted. There is no way there can be a mountain god."
"Let's try to find out." Jiang Ci was worried because the sensation just now was only for a moment, like an illusion, it flashed by.
The two men acted separately.
Soon, Jiang Ci found a small grass in an abandoned mine.
This grass grew out of the dark soil.
The grass leaves were yellow and drooping listlessly, as if they would wither at any moment.
An extremely faint green light dotted among the leaves like broken stars.
"Local mountain god?" Jiang Ci looked surprised.
Because just as Jun Yan said, this area has long lost its spiritual energy, and it is impossible for a mountain god to exist.
Unexpectedly, it was still there, but only a breath left.
Jiang Ci quickly and carefully picked up the small ball of energy and called Jun Yan, "Quick, give it some spiritual power, it's about to collapse!"
Jun Yan did what he said, and the spiritual power was continuously supplied to the mountain god as if it was free.
but……
It doesn't seem to work.
The mountain god only woke up slightly: "Who is it? Who is repairing my soul..."
Jun Yan shook his head helplessly: "It has lost its faith and its spiritual power. The spiritual energy I gave it has almost no effect. Jiang Jiang, its time has come."
Mountains are the life of the mountain god. Trees, vegetation, mineral resources, and creatures in the forest are all sources of energy for the mountain god.
There is no grass here except the black soil.
Without energy supply, transferring too much spiritual energy to the mountain god would be like Jingwei filling up the sea, without even a single ripple.
Jiang Ci frowned: "It has been protecting this land. It would be a pity to let it disappear like this."
Jun Yan: "This is its fate, Jiang Jiang, you can't interfere."
"Who said no?" Jiang Ci said nothing and directly put the mountain god into her soul.
Jun Yan was horrified when he saw this: "Are you crazy? How can you put it into your soul? Aren't you afraid of backlash?"
"It's okay, my soul is immortal." Jiang Ci said: "Since I saw it, I saved it, and that's its life."
"Let's send Niu Er home first."
When the two men came out of the mine, they saw Niu Er standing blankly on the black soil.
Jun Yan asked him, "What are you looking at? You are stunned."
Niu Er turned around and wiped his tears. "I was thinking, I haven't been back for many years, my wife and children have long forgotten me, I just look at them, and then I'll leave."
Under Jun Yan's leadership, they arrived at where Niu Er's wife was a few minutes later.
Niu Er talked a lot on the way.
He said that his home was not here before. It was far away from Jincheng, in a remote mountainous area.
Now that he sees his wife and children moving to the county town, he says that they must have had a hard time over the years and he feels sorry for them.
Niu Er's wife is now over 60 years old. She lives in an old and dilapidated community with no elevator. She has disabled legs, so every time her son carries her downstairs, and her daughter-in-law brings down the wheelchair so that she can bask in the sun in the community yard and chat with other old ladies.
When they arrived, they happened to hear the old men and women in the yard talking about the Niu family.
"Have you heard? Niu Hai was laid off by the company half a month ago. His two children are still in school, and now he can hardly pay the tuition. He dare not tell the old lady, and he goes out early and comes back late to set up a stall."
"Yes, I've seen it twice. It was very hard."
"I heard that Niu Hai had a very hard life. When he was a child, his father had an accident in the mine and his body was never found. His co-workers took 200 yuan and brought it back to his mother."
"Fortunately, Niu Hai worked hard and was admitted to a good university with the help of donations from the village."
"What's the point of getting into college? Now I've been laid off and have to sell things on the street."
"Hush, you don't know, Niu Hai was fired because he offended someone with connections, otherwise why would they fire him?"
"Poor fellow."
Niu Er listened to their discussions and his face turned grim.
"Look, what is that?" Suddenly, someone noticed a figure on the window on the fifth floor.
When everyone looked carefully, they saw that the person lying on the windowsill was Niu Hai's old mother.
I saw her climbing up the windowsill with great effort, as if she was trying to prevent herself from falling down.
I saw her lying on the windowsill, teetering on the edge of the window and looking like she might fall down at any moment.
Everyone was panicking.
"Niu Hai's mother, please don't let this get you down!"
“Cuihua!!!” Niu Er shouted with a pale face.
Jiang Ci signaled Jun Yan with a look.
Jun Yan understood what he meant, and while everyone's attention was on the window on the fifth floor, he turned around and teleported into Niu Hai's house, grabbing Niu Er's wife from behind who was about to fall.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.
"Fortunately, there are people at Niu Hai's house, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
"Wait, that's not right?"
"Niu Hai is out setting up a stall. His wife just went out to send the two children to school. His mother is the only one at home now. Whose hand was that just now?"
Everyone was worried and went upstairs to check.
Jiang Ci also followed everyone upstairs.
Jun Yan looked at the family photo in the living room, then transformed into Niu Hai and stood at the door to stop everyone.
"I'm sorry, my mom went to the windowsill to look for something just now, and made everyone worried. Now everything is fine, let's go!"
"Niu Hai, didn't you go out?"
"I left something behind and came back from the back door of the community." Jun Yan lied with his eyes open.
Everyone had no choice but to tell him to take good care of his mother, and they were all very considerate and left without saying anything.
Niu Er rushed in and saw his wife sitting in a wheelchair.
She was only over 60 years old, but she looked extremely old, like an old lady in her 70s or 80s, with gray hair and a haggard face...
But the clothes he wore were clean and tidy.
It is obvious that her son and daughter-in-law are very filial to her and take good care of her.
Niu Er rushed over crying, "Wife!"
However, his hands passed through Niu Cuihua's body.
Niu Cuihua lowered her head and murmured, "Let me die... Don't save me... I don't want to cause trouble for the child..."
Jun Yan had returned to his true appearance and comforted her: "Your existence must be very important to your son. Look, how filial he and his daughter-in-law are. If you really jumped off the building and died, wouldn't they feel guilty for the rest of their lives?"
