A sound of pleasure
"Why didn't you ask the Six Realms for help?"
"Ask for help? If asking for help would be helpful, why would I leave my Yuemang Mountain? Take your Celestial Realm, for example. The people there clearly know the situation here. There was once an Immortal Lord who frequently visited Yuemang Mountain and even lived there for a while. But what happened? In the end, even he abandoned his husband and children and left Yuemang Mountain, never to return. His husband and children also wrote to him for help, but what happened? Each letter was like a stone sinking into the ocean, with no response. Later, I thought about the reason. It's likely that the Immortal Lord suppressed any information about Yuemang Mountain."
Heng Jin took out the token and showed it to him, then said, "Now that I know about this, I will not sit idly by."
After seeing the words on the token clearly, he immediately bowed and said, "I never thought it was you. I apologize for my previous offense. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"No need to be so polite. I don't want anyone to know my identity. If you have any grievances, please feel free to tell me. I will personally report them to the Heavenly Court and return you a paradise of immortal mountains and mountains. You just said you abandoned your husband and children? There are not many female immortals in the heavens who can be hailed as the Immortal Lord. Do you know the name of that Immortal Lord?"
"It's not a female immortal. Since he's an immortal lord, he must be a male immortal. He said his name is Qing Hui."
Hearing this, Tianshu and Hengjin racked their brains but could not think of any immortal king in heaven named Qinghui.
"Are you sure that the man named Qing Hui is a Celestial Lord? And not some charlatan using the guise of the Celestial Realm to deceive people?"
"If it were in other immortal mountains, such a thing would indeed happen. But Yuemang Mountain is different. Yuemang Mountain is filled with heavy miasma, making it unsuitable for elves to live, and especially suitable for demons. Even the slightest bit of immortal energy will stand out. So when that immortal king first arrived at Yuemang Mountain, his rich immortal energy filled the entire mountain. Besides, as a mountain god, I can still distinguish between immortals, gods, demons and demons."
"If it's convenient, tell us about the past of Xing Yi and Qing Hui you mentioned. If he really suppressed the situation in Yue Mang Mountain, he might cause damage to other places. We must find this parasite in the heavens."
Hearing this, he began to tell stories from the past:
When the mountain god Su Yang picked up Xing Yi, he was still a baby who could only crawl.
Back then, the living environment in Yuemang Mountain was not as harsh as it is now. The ghost withered trees only grew in a small area, and they were not dense enough to block out the sun. There were still lush trees in the forest, and the streams on the mountain still flowed with clear and sweet mountain water.
There are not many living creatures here, but everyone helps each other and the atmosphere is peaceful.
Everyone watched from afar and thought that Xingyi was just an abandoned mortal child, so they ignored him. This kind of thing was too common, and the monsters did not want to disrupt the natural order.
It wasn't until Xingyi had starved in the forest for two days and still hadn't died that the monsters realized something was wrong. They approached him for a closer look and discovered that Xingyi was a descendant of a monster, not a mortal.
Xingyi was very pretty when she was young, with thick black hair and fair and lovely skin. When she saw a monster approaching, she would grin and her bright little eyes would narrow into slits.
Children on Yuemang Mountain had a hard time surviving, and the monsters had few offspring, so a kind-hearted monster immediately wanted to take him in. Many monsters were vying for him, and they couldn't decide who to give him to, so the monsters took Xingyi to find the mountain god Suyang to make the decision.
Su Yang felt that it would be unfair to give him to anyone, so he just let everyone raise him together.
Since then, Xingyi has had a lot of love. But every advantage has its disadvantages. Gradually, the mountain god discovered that Xingyi's ideas were extremely naive and simple. If she left Yuemang Mountain, she would probably be easily deceived and bullied.
So, when Xingyi grew up and became curious about the outside of Yuemang Mountain and wanted to go out and explore the world, Su Yang rejected him without hesitation.
Su Yang lied to him and said he would save him when he was about to die, so Su Yang tied his life to that of this mountain, and if he was lucky enough to leave Yuemang Mountain, he would die.
This lie didn't last long, as Xing Yi began to doubt it. He sneaked down the mountain and happened to stray into the Ghostly Withered Forest outside the mountain, which was filled with miasma. He inhaled too much miasma, which disrupted the demonic energy in his body and made it impossible to absorb it, causing him to almost die.
After being rescued, Xingyi never asked to go down the mountain again.
The good times didn't last long. Miasma from the foot of Yuemang Mountain began to spread upward, and the withered trees began to grow wildly. Yuemang Mountain endured many years of darkness, but no one wanted to separate. Su Yang dispersed his cultivation, trying his best to maintain his vitality.
Later, the immortal named Qinghui came.
When Qing Hui stepped into Yuemang Mountain, the miasma of the entire mountain dissipated, and even the scorching summer sun penetrated into Yuemang Mountain a little.
Qing Hui stood tall, like an unshakable mountain. His eyes were deep and serene, as if they could see through everything in the world. His whole body exuded an unquestionable majesty, and just standing there made people feel insignificant and awed.
Su Yang and the other monsters had never seen a real god descend, so they were all a little nervous. But fortunately, they were not afraid, as he was the first to speak to a god.
Xingyi begged him to stay for a short time to dispel the miasma. Qinghui agreed, but the miasma in Yuemang Mountain had been gathering for too long and could not be completely eradicated in a short time. They needed to find the source of the miasma. Qinghui promised everyone that he would come to clear the miasma once a month.
Later, Qing Hui really did this, and the environment of Yuemang Mountain became better and better. All the monsters were very grateful to him and even carved a stone statue for him to offer incense.
Later, Xingyi and Qinghui actually got together!
At first, everyone found it hard to accept, fearing that Xingyi would be criticized once her relationship with Qinghui became known.
What Su Yang feared was not only that Xing Yi would be criticized, but also that Qing Hui was an immortal king, while Xing Yi was just an abandoned monster orphan. Everyone was afraid that Qing Hui would not be able to withstand the rumors and would retreat in the future.
Qinghui promised everyone that he would treat Xingyi well and love only Xingyi for the rest of his life. He also demonstrated this with his actions, and Xingyi was extremely happy at that time.
Life went on peacefully until one day, Xingyi brought home a child. He said the child was his and Qinghui's biological child. No one knew where the child came from, they just thought Xingyi had picked him up and treated him as his own.
Only Su Yang could see that there was something wrong with that child. The blood in his body was truly half demon, half immortal.
When Qinghui came again, they had a big fight, and Qinghui never came back for hundreds of years.
Fortunately, they hadn't named the child yet, saying that Qinghui had read a lot of books, so they would wait for him to come back and give him the best name. So, they just gave him a nickname, Youyou, which means "Youyou has everything."
The miasma on Yuemang Mountain was becoming increasingly severe, becoming a serious threat to survival. Many monsters had been forced to move away. However, Xingyi and his son refused to leave, insisting on staying in Yuemang Mountain until Qinghui returned. Su Yang had tried to dissuade them, but to no avail.
Later, the three of them were the only ones left on Yuemang Mountain. They had thought they would never see Qinghui again, but he suddenly returned. Su Yang didn't know what Qinghui said to Xingyi and his son after he returned, but after he left, Xingyi and his son regained their former vitality, waiting with hope for Qinghui to take them to live a better life.
The harsh environment of the mountain attracted many evil goblins and ghosts to live here. They had ferocious faces, bared fangs, and emitted a disgusting stench. They were cruel and merciless, living by torturing and destroying the weak, without any mercy.
The bullying monsters always wanted to cause trouble for them, but because they were protected by the mountain god, they dared not go too far. The monster's son began to bully and mock them for having no mother, and for mocking his father for liking men and being an outlier.
So Su Yang always kept an eye on Youyou, fearing that if he wasn't paying attention, those bad kids would bully Youyou again.
At that time, Youyou often huddled in a corner near his home, his eyes often filled with sadness and helplessness. He silently endured the ridicule, tears welling up in his eyes but he tried hard not to care.
Youyou always kept Xingyi's teachings in mind, not to become a bad boy with his hands stained with blood and lives, as that would become a stain on his father.
However, this time, Qinghui never came back until he died of illness.
Youyou buried Xingyi, burned down their house, and left Yuemang Mountain. Su Yang never saw Youyou again.
After saying this, Heng Jin's face looked a little ugly, and he and Tian Shu were silent for a while.
Su Yang asked, "After all, I'm an outsider and don't live in the same house with you. This is all I know. Do you know any immortal kings in the heavens who are fond of Long Yang? Do you have any suspects?"
Heng Jin and Tian Shu said no in unison. This sudden tacit understanding made it seem like they were deliberately hiding something.
"The past you spoke of is so ancient after all, that our generation may not have heard of it all. We still need to return to the heavens and secretly investigate. As a mountain god, you should fulfill your duties. Abandoning Yuemang Mountain in the long run is not an option. Now that we are here, we can go with you to Yuemang Mountain to eliminate the miasma."
Although Su Yang was overjoyed, when he looked back at the territory of Kas, an embarrassment appeared on his face.
Tianshu said, "You are a mountain god, so you should know that no matter what you are, you will enter the six realms of reincarnation after death. Kasi's belief is correct, but it is not true. It is useless for you to guard the temple."
Su Yang said, "I know. But the king has done me a favor, and I promised him that I would protect Kasi forever."
Tianshu said, "What about Yuemang Mountain? Shouldn't you protect Yuemang Mountain? One is starving to death, the other is still holding on, and you only have a bowl of porridge. Who are you going to save? You've guarded it for so many years, praying for them and chanting scriptures every year. How deep is your gratitude? These monsters have a place to gather because of you, just like wanderers have a home, but it's not a permanent thing after all. Save Yuemang Mountain, and they can have a permanent home. That's what home is."
After thinking it over, Su Yang said, "You're right. Yuemang Mountain must be protected, and so must Kasi. That... please, Bingpo, come back."
