Aiduo received a call in advance and drove to the top of the mountain. She then walked a long way before finding a large uninhabited area.
After sending the text message, Qi Jing and his team arrived soon. Ai Duo, who had seen it once before, accepted it well and handed the bag in her hand to Qi Jing.
"I knew you were coming over, so I made some food."
Qi Jing likes Aiduo's cooking skills very much, and everything she cooks is delicious.
He said thank you cheerfully and immediately opened it to eat. It was a fragrant sesame cake, crispy and full of sesame aroma.
Qi Jing narrowed his eyes happily and waited with Ai Duo. Gu Zhou had already gone to set up the formation, so they couldn't make too much noise.
Aiduo watched him eat for a while before saying, "The mountain god seems to know you."
Qi Jing turned his head and looked at him, without biting the sesame cake in his mouth, just staring at him blankly.
The Qi family and Gu Xuanyi had warned him many times not to let outsiders know that he was immortal. Even now, not many people knew about it. He didn't expect Ai Duo to say that.
Aiduo smiled gently and said, "I won't tell anyone. I haven't told my family about the mountain god either."
Qi Jing still didn't say anything, his eyes subconsciously turned to Gu Zhou, not knowing how to answer Ai Duo.
Ai Duo didn't care. "Are you going to tell Gu Zhou about it together? Come to my house after you're done. The mountain god said he wants to see you if you come."
"Okay." Qi Jing agreed and lowered his head to continue eating sesame cakes. He ate several of them in a row, and they were a bit dry.
But there was also a thermos cup in the bag. Qi Jing asked, "Is this for me too?"
"Well, it's better to drink something hot when it's cold. The cup is new."
Qi Jing said thank you again, unscrewed the lid, poured the tea into the pot and took two sips. The wolfberry tea was slightly sweet, as if milk had been added to it.
Gu Zhou smelled the scent as soon as he came over. It had just rained and the mountain was chilly, so he also wanted to have a cup of hot drink.
He took it and drank a bottle, thanking Ai Duo, "You are so thoughtful. It's a pity that you have to spend money on love."
Ai Duo narrowed her eyes and asked, "Will it really lead to financial ruin?"
This question made Gu Zhou laugh awkwardly, "You know it now?"
"He is thinking about how to tell me." Aido put his hands in his pockets, his cheeks flushed by the cold wind, and there was a barely perceptible smile in his eyes.
Gu Zhou understood a little and joked, "It turns out that gods can also be shy."
"I looked up some information. Mountain gods are considered earthly immortals. They are all cultivated. Before becoming mountain gods, they were also humans, or monsters or something." Aiduo was not very clear either. The mountain god was a little slow-witted. Although he could appear in her dreams, he didn't say much.
Gu Zhou nodded, "Let me try this thing first."
Aiduo responded and moved away from Qi Jing to see the effect.
Qi Jing drank wolfberry tea in small sips, his eyes fell on Gu Zhou, watching him take out the mortar, put it on the ground, load the shells into it, and then put in a wisp of Yin Qi, and fired it directly without even aiming.
The shell flew out, and Aido could not see its trajectory at all. She only saw a large rock suddenly shattered into pieces after it was shot out.
Qi Jing and Gu Zhou could see clearly that after being fired, the cannonball followed the Yin Qi and changed the moment it came into contact with the obstacle. The smooth cannonball turned into a spiral and rotated at high speed, instantly breaking through the dozen or so defensive talismans prepared by Gu Zhou, and finally smashing the stone.
Qi Jing's eyes widened. Those dozen or so defensive talismans were all drawn by him, but they were destroyed in an instant. If they were used on those monsters, even the monsters with super strong defense would be defeated in an instant.
Gu Zhou hadn't expected the results to be so good. He turned around and said to Qi Jing, "The test was perfect."
"How amazing!" Qi Jing followed suit in praising, and he really thought it was amazing.
After the test, Gu Zhou didn't continue. He packed up his things and walked back. Aiduo drove back first and sent them a message when she arrived.
Qi Jing also took this opportunity to tell Gu Zhou about the mountain god. Gu Zhou took a bite of the sesame cake and said, "I think Ai Duo can be trusted. After all, she is the one favored by the mountain god."
Qi Jing nodded, "It's not that I don't believe it, but the Qi family and Gu Xuanyi said that outsiders can't know. Zhao Yin and Meng Yuan already knew about it, and Gu Xiaomo is Qi Xiaomo's wife, so she's not an outsider."
"Jiaojiao admires you and won't tell anyone." Gu Zhou raised his hand and stroked his head. "Anyway, let's go and see what's going on first."
Qi Jing nodded and immediately sent the message over after receiving it from Aiduo.
The two were teleported to Aido's car, which was parked on the side of the road. They could reach the destination by walking about ten meters, and it would not arouse suspicion.
Ai Ping was at home and knew that Ai Duo was coming to pick them up, so he had already lit the grill and heated water and gave them a very warm welcome.
The four of them sat down and exchanged greetings. Gu Zhou also took Ai Ping's pulse. This was also Gu Xuanyi's ability. Although he was not as good as Qi Jing, he could still find out a thing or two.
After being hospitalized for more than half a month and then returning to recuperate for a long time, his health has begun to improve.
Ai Ping treated the two of them as his benefactors, smiling happily and giving away all the good things.
Looking at the snacks on the table, Qi Jing couldn't control his hands at all and kept putting them into his mouth. Ai Duo felt that he could not hold it anymore, so she sent Ai Ping away.
After Ai Ping walked away, Ai Duo turned around and said, "If you like it, eat more. If you ask later, I'll say I brought it in the car for you."
Gu Zhou nodded and asked her about the matter, "What did the mountain god tell you?"
Aido smiled and pointed to the shrine, which she had later renovated and built beautifully, like a small house.
Gu Zhou pulled Qi Jing over to take a closer look and could vaguely see a small shadow.
Qi Jingyao could see much more clearly. It was a man wearing bright yellow clothes. He looked to be in his early twenties, with a handsome face. A faint dragon aura could be seen behind him.
However, his current cultivation level was so low that he only accepted the offerings from Aiduo, a small one, only the size of a palm.
The mountain god raised his hand and bowed to Qi Jing, "The nine earthly immortals pay their respects to Yuan Jing Tianzun."
Gu Zhou held Qi Jing's hand tightly. All his previous guesses were confirmed, and he was a little dazed.
Qi Jing was also confused and pointed at himself, "Are you talking about me?"
Jiu Qing stood up, glanced at Gu Zhou, and then set his eyes on Qi Jing again, "The Heavenly Venerable's soul is trapped, and he has temporarily forgotten his past. Jiu Qing must tell you everything he knows."
Gu Zhou wanted to know so much, but he had no idea how to ask before. He also felt that Qi Jing's soul would return to its place sooner or later, so he did not insist on finding an answer. Now that the person who knew the truth was right in front of him, Gu Zhou naturally had to ask clearly.
Gu Zhou asked him, "Is my uncle a god in heaven?"
"Strictly speaking, Tianzun is a god outside the heavens, and his status and strength are above the Heavenly Dao."
"Then why was his soul sealed by the Heavenly Dao? What happened a thousand years ago? Would the Heavenly Dao sever the connection between heaven and earth, causing all of you earthly immortals to slowly disappear along with it?"
