Qi Wuhuo walked out of the wooden door with light steps, heading towards the back mountain. When passing the main road of the entire town, he heard noisy sounds in the distance, like the sound of moving wood and the sound of many people walking. Such sounds have been going on for a long time, at least more than a month.

Qi Wuhuo had no interest in these things and did not take the initiative to inquire.

And when those people were doing these things, they seemed to avoid Qi Wuhuo.

Qi Wuhuo withdrew his gaze. Although he was somewhat curious as to why they had to rush to work in the middle of winter when the New Year was approaching, he did not care too much. With his brisk steps and familiarity with the road, he soon reached the foot of the mountain. It had snowed several times this month and most people were busy with New Year matters, so few people went up the mountain, making it particularly quiet.

We arrived at the platform in the mountain. The place where the Tiger Mountain God used to preach was now packed with people.

There are spiritual birds and beasts, flying cranes descending, fierce tigers lying down, and green snakes coiled.

Tao Tai'an was sitting on a rock, turning his head to chat with a plump woman; Luo Yizhen smiled and looked down at a scholar playing the zither. The short Shen Hongxue was the most free and easy, sitting cross-legged on the snow, his clothes open, his chest exposed, drinking wine with his neck tilted back. Under the green pines, a young girl was playing the zither and a scholar in green clothes was playing the flute. Qi Wuhuo took a glance and saw that there were more than twenty people among the beasts, all of them had extraordinary grace and were not ordinary.

This place seemed not to be in the mountains, but a fairyland.

Mr. Tao was talking to someone with a smile, when he suddenly felt the atmosphere change, so he stopped talking, turned around and saw the young man, stroked his beard and smiled:

"Hahaha, the real master is here."

The flute player put down his instrument and smiled elegantly; the girl played the piano slowly, her almond-shaped eyes shining.

Wind loosens.

Everyone was silent for a moment, while on one side, it seemed as if a group of wise men had gathered. A young man in a blue shirt was seen walking towards them with an outstanding demeanor and smiling eyes.

A familiar spirit beast recognized him and tried to come over, but was held down by the two guardian gods. Only then did he realize that this was not an ordinary day.

The two gods stood solemnly, wearing armor. Even these otherworldly-looking visitors stood up, bowed slightly, or smiled, or looked serious, or held a wine jar in one hand, looking free and unrestrained, or smiled, looking extremely beautiful. They all saluted the blue-shirted youth in front of them and said with a smile:

"I have met the God of Helian Mountain."

No matter how slight the sound is, the gathering of so many of them is moving.

What's more, everyone present at this moment is not ordinary.

If others saw this, they might feel uneasy.

Qi Wuhuo guessed that these should be the mountain gods of the surrounding mountains and rivers, and came to see who the new mountain god of Helian Mountain was.

He returned the greeting slightly, and then, in accordance with the etiquette of the host family, he extended his right hand in a gesture of invitation, with a clear and gentle voice: "Please come in, everyone."

Some of the mountain gods were slightly surprised. They had never thought that this young man would not show any fear in front of them. They felt more favorable towards him. It seemed that the successor that the tiger was looking for was not someone without ability. The smiles on their faces became more intense. Other mountain gods also had a considerate look in their eyes.

Tao Taigong stroked his beard and laughed, saying, "Come, come, my friend Wuhuo, come over here."

"These are the mountain gods and local gods within a thousand miles of our area. They are good friends. Since you have become a mountain god, you have to interact with them."

"Let me introduce you. This is the mountain god of Chengdu Mountain, called Si Niang. She is beautiful and very free and easy. You..."

The plump and beautiful woman smiled and said, "What did you say, old man?"

"Ah, the mountain god always disliked transforming into a human form before, but now he has been replaced by a pretty child, which is much more pleasing to the eye."

"Is your name Wuhuo? Come, come, let me kiss you..."

The two guardian gods looked solemn, their beards and hair spread out, and stepped forward and said, "Please do not be rude, sir!"

Although they were somewhat disappointed and worried about Qi Wuhuo's young appearance.

I feel that he may not be able to take on the position of mountain god.

But since he is the mountain god of this place, we still have to protect him. Being suppressed like this in public, no matter what the saying is, sister or brother, is not a big deal for ordinary people, but for the mountain god, it is like this when they meet for the first time. It is a so-called show of power and a soft rejection. How can the number one mountain god of the sixteen mountains be treated like a child and laughed at?

As soon as he thought of it, he raised the ceremonial weapons and crossed them, not to attack, but just to block. However, the plump beauty just moved forward lightly, passed directly in front of the two guardian generals, and appeared behind them without even stopping.

It is a brilliant application of the underground escaping technique of the Earth God lineage.

Her clothes fluttered in the wind, with a smile on her face. She reached out to hug the young man in blue and was about to hold him in her arms.

Soft jade and warm fragrance are naturally beautiful.

But it was all in vain.

The woman was startled.

The expressions of the other mountain gods changed slightly and they paused drinking. They could see clearly that just when the woman moved forward, Qi Wuhuo just took a step forward, just like the woman who passed through the two guardian gods before, and appeared behind Si Niang from in front of her casually. At this moment, he had his back to her with the hem of his blue shirt falling down.

Help the two guardian gods up.

Si Niang was surprised, then burst into laughter: "I didn't expect that."

"That big tiger really took good care of Wuhuo and even taught you this method."

Qi Wuhuo shook his head and said, "We are just friends who discuss the Dao."

Si Niang laughed and said, "Brother, you are lying."

"This is a method used by mountain gods and earth gods. No one can use it without being taught."

Qi Wuhuo said: "If you say it is teaching, then someone did teach."

Si Niang smiled and glanced at Grandpa Tao: "It seems to be Grandpa Tao?"

The old man shook his head in confusion.

Si Niang asked with a smile: "If it's not you, then who is it?"

Qi Wuhuo shook his head and said in a calm voice:

"Didn't you teach me that just now?"

Si Niang was startled for a moment, then smiled charmingly: "Brother, you are really good at building relationships. When will sister teach you..."

Her smile suddenly froze, and the breathing of the mountain gods around her paused slightly.

Just now? ! !

The beautiful woman didn't know what to say for a moment. When she was distracted, her beauty had dissipated a lot. She looked at the young man who had not yet tied his hat, took a breath, and seemed to be unable to believe it: "You just, looked at it once..."

Qi Wuhuo replied: "Once is enough."

He thought for a moment and answered frankly: "The law of the earth gods is the Tao; the ability to escape underground is the technique."

"The way is difficult, the technique is easy."

"Now that you have realized the truth, the so-called magic should be like the fruit on the tree, which you can pick with just a raise of your hand."

This is what the old man told him on the first day.

Mr. Tao sighed.

In the Taishang lineage, the most important thing is character, followed by understanding.

But it was so frustrating.

Qi Wuhuo once had a dream, and it can be seen at this moment.

Many mountain gods were still somewhat dissatisfied with him.

Then he remembered that when Tan Tai Xuan met his good friend, he said that he was the chief mountain god of the sixteen nearby mountains. It seemed normal for them to be dissatisfied with him, but...

【Don’t let your reputation fall】

He looked at the plump and beautiful woman, lowered his eyes and raised his hand to invite her, saying:

"Chengdu Mountain God, please take a seat."

The woman sighed, and seeing the clear, calm and gentle eyes of the young man in front of her, she returned the greeting, dispelling the frivolous and age-based joking temperament, and said seriously:

"Helian Mountain God, please forgive me for being rude after drinking."

"No problem."

The young man in blue shirt took a step forward, his hair moving slightly.

He used the same clever technique that the woman had used.

Every step I take, there is a little irritation at the beginning, and it doesn’t seem so natural to perform, but in the end, it becomes light and peaceful.

After all, this is the mountain where he lives, and he also has the state of innate Qi here.

After three steps, they had reached the place where the Tiger Mountain God was lying before.

During these three steps, the expressions of the mountain gods changed from superficial politeness to gradually solemnity, until finally, even the one who was half-lying down drinking previously sat up straight, straightened his clothes, and sat upright with a serious expression.

Qi Wuhuo stood still.

Are you going to preach in front of so many mountain gods and earth gods?

The boy in blue took a deep breath.

Make your expression as calm and peaceful as that of an old man at home.

The sword case on his back was taken off and fell to the side.

The sword rings.

Turning around, the hem of his clothes moved slightly.

The young man in blue shirt held the black iron sword box with one hand and put the other hand behind his back. He had black hair and black pupils, and his temperament was calm and clean. He looked at the many mountain gods who were already sitting, and he had an indescribable calmness. Then he said:

"Today, I will preach."

"Please everyone - listen carefully."
