Chapter 60: Gai Yin
Outside the Wolf God Temple, Lu Heng sat in the small wooden pavilion, quietly looking at the sword furnace outside the mountain.
The feeling of hollowness and horror never disappeared in his mind, which created a little uneasy feeling in his heart.
After the admonition, the White Ape went to the back mountain to chop firewood. Xiao Ai was urged back to cultivate by Lu Heng even though the little girl wanted to stand by the Wolf God and listen to his orders.
However, although Xiao Ai left, she still presented the peach blossom wine she had prepared before leaving.
"Lord Wolf God, this is Xiao Ai's peach blossom wine soaked in peach blossoms. The wine is 300 years old…"
Xiao Ai offered the carefully brewed peach blossom wine, and her eyes were full of expectation.
Although Lu Heng didn't like drinking, he couldn't help but wonder about the taste of the peach blossom wine after smelling the faint fragrance.
The peach blossoms in the back of the mountain haven't withered since they bloomed in the middle of winter last year. This is true even as winter is now approaching.
The peach blossoms that have been in full bloom for nearly a year have neither withered nor yielded results. Lu Heng was quite surprised by such an abnormal phenomenon - is this peach forest going to be fine?
However, after checking, he found that the peach blossom forest didn't show any signs of becoming a demon. It was just because the spirit Qi surged, and the roots of underground peach trees absorbed the spirit Qi of water all over the mountain.
The thundering rain that falls once a month in the mountains, except spirit Qi that spills into the air, almost all the spirit Qi of water that melts into the soil is sucked away by this peach forest.
Seeing the abnormal scene of peach blossoms in the peach forest for nearly a year, Lu Heng couldn't help thinking of the legendary flat peach, which blooms for 3000 years and bears fruit every 3000 years.
The peach forest in the back mountain will not become a similar spirit tree, will it?
Although it is impossible to blossom and bear fruit for thousands of years like flat peaches, the signs of this peach forest now show that it may take a long time for peach trees to bear fruit.
Thinking in his heart, Lu Heng, sitting in the pavilion, poured a small cup of peach blossom and savoured it.
Under the dark sky, Lu Heng had a strange feeling that his body and mind had been baptized at the moment of smelling the faint and elegant fragrance.
At that moment, it seemed that the dark mountains also became sunny.
Such an extraordinary performance made Lu Heng look down in surprise. Looking at the light red liquor in the glass, he found that the peach blossom wine seemed to be more powerful than he thought.
Without hesitation, Lu Heng raised his glass and drank the wine gently.
The cool and soft liquor has a light and elegant fragrance, with a soft and delicate touch as it’s not as spicy as ordinary wines. Lu Heng closed his eyes and felt it. Subconsciously, he poured another cup.
Then there are the third, and fourth Cup…
When Lu Heng came to his senses, he found that there wasn’t any liquor left in the small wine pot.
He couldn't help but to laugh.
The peach blossom wine gave off an irresistible charm with its magic power.
After Lu Heng drank the small pot of beautiful wine, he also clearly understood the real uniqueness of this wine.
As a profound cultivator, it was surprising that a wine could improve his cultivation. While compared to mortals, they would simply have their life prolonged.
The peach blossom wine carefully brewed by Xiao Ai could already be considered a treasure.
He looked back in the direction of Wolf God Temple, where Xiao Ai closed her eyes and was cultivating.
Although he only needed to give an order, Xiao Ai would offer the rest of the peach blossom wine, Lu Heng is not an alcoholic, and has never drunk Baijiu (Chinese distilled spirits) in his previous life.
Even if the peach blossom wine was so extraordinary, he didn't have much interest.
After putting down the glass, Lu Heng looked out of the mountain again letting his mind slowly drift away.
After drinking this peach blossom wine, that intense feeling in his heart started to fade, and he no longer felt depressed.
In the direction of the sword furnace outside the mountain, the fire became smaller and smaller, and it was no longer as terrible as before.
Lu Heng looked excitingly as the Heavenly Thunder Sword that would truly be forged.
The Heavenly Thunder Sword has had him restless…
In the afternoon, Hanyu mountain gradually quieted down.
Lu Heng sat in the pavilion and thought randomly.
The tranquility in the mountain was broken as a light suddenly cut through the sky.
When Lu Heng looked up and saw the figure in the light, Gai Yin also saw the Heavenly Thunder Clouds that enveloped the main peak of Hanyu mountain in front.
Even if it is far away, Gai Yin can clearly feel the power of Heavenly Thunder Clouds.
Thinking of Wuzhu's orders, he didn't dare to delay. He immediately fell from the air, and walked into the mountain.
Although the Shuisheng village outside Hanyu mountain is popular, the purpose of his trip is not this remote village.
Near the Double Ninth Festival, as the chief witch priest of Thousand Needle City, Gai Yin should have waited beside Master Wuzhu and worked for the Vulcan Sacrifice in September.
But Master Wuzhu gave him a more important task, letting him go to this remote Hanyu mountain to visit the Wolf God in the mountain.
Since last year, great changes have taken place in Thousand Needle City in this year. Master Wuzhu fought with the old clan with great strategy.
Gong Shu Jie, who has always been rebellious and stubborn, suddenly suppressed all the old clans not by force, but by the support of the people. That group of old clans all know that there must be an expert behind him.
The whole Thousand Needle City is guessing who is secretly helping Gong Shu Jie, and many old clans are constantly trying to dig out the expert hidden behind Gong Shu Jie.
However, as a confidant of Master Wuzhu, Gai Yin knows that the existence that really affects Master Wuzhu is not in the city. He also knew how noble that existence was.
Therefore, when he was ordered to visit the Wolf God in Hanyu mountain, Gai Yin was quite nervous. Although Master Wuzhu said that the Wolf God in this mountain is an immortal sage, there is no need to worry.
But in the face of such a noble existence, Gai Yin is still afraid of being rude.
Therefore, before entering the mountain, he fell from the air and walked directly towards the Hanyu mountain on foot.
However, after entering the mountain, Gai Yin found that the situation of Hanyu mountain was somewhat abnormal.
Except for the deep main peak and the primitive jungle behind the main peak, the surrounding mountains have completely turned into scorched earth, without any green.
And not long after walking in, Gai Yin found the sword furnace.
At this time, the flames of the sword furnace, which had previously roared loadly enough to shake the earth, had been nearly extinguished. If mortals passed by, they would never associate the existence of this sword furnace with the vision in the mountain.
However, Gai Yin is not a mortal. Even if the fire emitted from the sword furnace almost doesn't exist, he is still clearly aware of the extraordinariness of the sword furnace and the terror contained within.
After careful observation, he found that the casting style of the sword furnace was quite familiar.
This sword furnace… Seems to have the hallmarks of the Li tribe!
Gai Yin was slightly surprised, and it occurred to him that when he entered the mountain before, he did see the tent camp of some tribe near the Shuisheng village.
It turns out that the tribe gathered outside the mountain is actually the Li tribe?
For the legendary Li tribe, Gai Yin had contacted them 60 years ago and knew that their metallurgy was unparalleled in the world.
But even the well-informed Gai Yin was shocked by the faint aura of terror emanating from the sword furnace at this time.
In this Hanyu mountain, there are people of the Li tribe who forge swords?
But to also cause such great damage…
Gai Yin subconsciously looked in the direction of the main peak of Hanyu mountain and knew that the sword furnace of the Li tribe must have been approved by the Wolf God. But even with such great damage, the Wolf God acquiesced…
The Wolf God in the Hanyu mountain is indeed as broad-minded and divine as Master Wuzhu said. If he was a fierce person, he'd already punished these people of the Li tribe…
Thinking of this, the worries in Gai Yin's heart slightly disappeared.
He made up his mind, didn't look at the Li tribe's sword furnace anymore, and continued to walk towards the mountain.
The purpose of his trip was to visit the Wolf God and offer sacrifices. Although the Li tribe's sword furnace is extraordinary, it has nothing to do with him.
But when Gai Yin arrived at the foot of the main peak and saw the spacious stone stairs in front of him, he was a little confused.
This…this seems to be different from what Master Wuzhu said?
If he remembers correctly, the Hanyu mountain described by Master Wuzhu is just a remote and primitive hill, right? Why are there artificial stairs now…
Confused, Gai Yin walked up the stairs directly. Soon, he reached the end of the stone steps and saw the green-stone-paved path and the Wolf God Temple at the end of the path.
Although the Wolf God Temple is made of pure wood and is not as magnificent as the Vulcan temple in Thousand Needle City, it vaguely exudes a majestic atmosphere that cannot be ignored.
The statue of the Wolf God in Wolf God Temple is far away, but Gai Yin's extraordinary vision can see it clearly.
Gai Yin became more and more nervous.
The scene in front of him was completely different from what Master Wuzhu said.
The low mountain temple is completely invisible… Is it because he did something wrong? But the Wolf God is indeed enshrined in this temple.
Or has the place changed in this year?
Uneasy, Gai Yin stepped on the path.
Not far away, he found a hermit in white sitting in a small pavilion by the roadside. When Gai Yin saw the hermit, the hermit in white also looked at him with a smile.
Gai Yin was slightly surprised. He didn't realize when the hermit in white appeared? And this person's temperament is ethereal, just sitting there, but he seems to be integrated with this world, which is by no means ordinary.
Out of caution, Gai Yin opened his magic eyes and looked at him again to prevent being harmed by evil people. However, as the magic eye saw, the hermit in white was surrounded by thunder and light, with terrible divine power.
At a glance, not only could he not see the depth of the other party, but Gai Yin was struggling to breath. It seemed like he suddenly faced terrible lighting, and his heart was shocked.
This hermit in white… It seems that his whole body is made of the Heavenly Thunder?
Gai Yin immediately guessed the identity of the hermit in white and bowed quickly.
"Gai Yin, the witch of Thousand Needle City, comes to see Lord Wolf God!"
Under the dark sky light, Gai Yin's forehead slightly dripped with sweat.
At the moment when the magic eye glanced at the Wolf God, the terror and pressure he felt almost broke his heart of Tao. Being able to maintain a calm appearance without losing his temper is the limit of what he can do.
No wonder before coming, Master Wuzhu told him not to open his magic eyes in front of the Wolf God.
It turned out to be such a terrible feeling to peep at the majesty of the gods with mere mortal eyes.
