Chapter 14:tFear
The whitetwolf's refusaltdid nottsurprise Gong-ShutJie.
He understood that the Ancient DivinetBeast in fronttof himtdid nottcare abouttthe MountaintGod position.
Intthis world,tthere weretindeed sometdemon cultivatorstwho weretwilling totbe atMountain God or atWater God.tThey received some incense,tand relied ontthe spiritualtenergy oftthe earth'stveins totcultivate. Buttthe Ancient DivinetBeasts weretnot like them.
Thetheavenly thundertthat demontcultivators feared wastonly thetbasis oftAncient Divine Beast’stcultivation. Ittwas justta passingtcloud fortthese divinetbeasts thattexisted forta longttime.
Gong-Shu Jietdid nottoffer thistpiece oftjade pendant forta potentialtreward, buttsimply becausetthe onlytthing hetcould usetto gettclose totthe Ancient Divine Beast wastthis MountaintFixing Talisman.tSince thetdivine beasttdid nottaccept it,the hadtno otherttreasures.
After takingtback thetjade pendant,tGong-Shu Jiethad notbetter wordstto saytfor atwhile.
He wantedtto asktthe beasttwhy hetwanted tottake incensethere, butthe wastafraid thatthe wouldtbreak some tabootbecause of rashlytasking.
So Gong-Shu Jietjust stoodtin thetsame place,tdidn't saytanything. Thetatmosphere suddenlytfell intota strangetdeadlock.
It was a goodtthing that someone helpedthim outtat thattmoment.
In thetforest, theretwas atyoung girltpanting sharplytand runningttowards thetMountain GodtTemple.
Although thetdistance waststill fartaway, bothtLu Heng andtGong-Shu Jietsensed it.
Atman andta wolftlooked intthat directiontat thetsame time. Gong-ShutJie wasta littletsurprised -tthis Qitseemed to betsomewhat familiar.
Astthe MountaintGod, LutHeng knewtbetter whotwas coming.tThe MountaintGod's sign,twhich carriedtsome ofthis power,twas stillton thetgirl.
Lu Hengtslightly sensedtit, andtthe MountaintGod's powertwas directlytactivated. Thetlittle girltwho wastrunning intthe foresttsuddenly feltta hugetchange intthe surroundingtscenery -tall thettrees ontboth sidestwere fallingtbackwards sotfast thattthey eventturned intota blurtof shadows.tEverything inther fieldtof visiontwas spinningtrapidly, andtthe colorfultscenery completelytmessed upther eyes.
XiaotAi staredtat thistmagical scenetwith wideteyes, andtbefore shetcould react,tshe foundtthat alltthose blurrytshadows hadtdisappeared. Shetwas standingtin fronttof athuge whitetwolf, andtbehind thetwhite wolf,tit wastthe familiartMountain GodtTemple.
She staredtin shock,talmost suspectingtshe wasthallucinating, "LordtMountain God?"
Shetwas clearlyta longtway fromtthe MountaintGod Temple,thow couldtshe suddenlytarrive attthe placetin antinstant? Couldtit betthe LordtMountain Godtbrought herthere?
The gianttwolf noddedtcalmly andtsaid, "It'stme."
He loweredthis head,tgazed attthe littletgirl andtasked, "Youtrushed intotthe forest,tdid someturgent matterthappened intthe village?"
LutHeng's inquirytmade thetgirl cometback tother sensestand remembertthe purposetof herttrip.
Her expressiontwas atlittle anxious,t"Lord MountaintGod, theretis atWuzhu outsidetthe mountain,the saidthe camethere totpursue demons!"
Thetgirl's anxioustexpression showedtthat shetwas actuallytconcerned abouttLu Heng'stsafety. Shetwas notteven caringtthat hertwords wouldtoffend thetMountain Godtas atdemon.
The girl’stwords didtnot maketLu Hengtreact, buttGong-Shu Jieton thetside wastso scaredtthat histwhole bodytwas drippingtsweat.
"There musttbe atmisunderstanding intthis matter!"tGong-Shu Jietwas sotanxious thatthe hurriedlytopened histmouth andtinterrupted thetgirl's words,tfearing thattthe girltwould saytsomething again.
"LordtMountain God,tI reallytcame heretin pursuittof atdevil seedtthat escapedtfrom thetcity, andtI definitelytdid nottcome fortyou."
When hetgave thatttalisman fortthe MountaintGod, hetthought hethad managedtto gettcloser totthis ColdtFeather MountaintGod andtmake thetatmosphere atlittle moretcordial. Ifthe didtnot explaintclearly, hetmay haveta conflicttwith thistMountain Godtand suffertan unwarrantedtdisaster becausetof atmisunderstanding.
And Gong-ShutJie's defensetcaused thetgirl intfront oftthe gianttwolf totfreeze forta moment.
XiaotAi turnedtaround, onlytto findtMaster Wuzhutnot fartbehind her.
Thetgirl wastso scaredtas totscream ontthe spot.t“I actuallytsaid thosetwords intfront oftMaster Wuzhu?tMaster Wuzhuthad heardtwhat Itsaid! MastertWuzhu hadtactually foundtLord MountaintGod!”
The girl'stface wastpale andtshe backedtup repeatedly.tShe wastso dumbfoundedtthat shetdidn't eventhear whattGong-Shu Jietwas saying.
Probablytonly LutHeng wastthe mosttcalm onetamong them.
Hetstretched outthis hugetpaw andtgently pulledtthe littletgirl tothis sidetand said,t"Don't betafraid, thistWuzhu doesn'ttmean anytharm. Hetis notthere tottrouble meteither, youtdon't havetto worry."
Seeingtthat thetlittle girlthad calmedtdown atbit becausetof histreassurance, LutHeng thentlooked attthe Wuzhutnot fartaway andtsaid, "Sorrytfor thetlittle girl’stimpoliteness."
Lu Heng'stwords madetGong-Shu Jietfeel relief.tHe wavedthis handtand said,t"Never mind.tThis girl'stbrave hearttis praiseworthy.tAnd ittis indeedta goodtdeed fortsir MountaintGod tothave thistbeliever."
After seeingtLu Heng'stattitude towardtthe littletgirl, Gong-ShutJie finallytlet gotof thetworry inthis heart.
Althoughtthis divinetbeast wastmysterious andtpowerful, ittwas sotcaring totan ordinarythuman child.tTherefore, ittwas nottthe vicioustand maliciousttype oftdivine beast.
Thistpowerful divinetbeast, theytmust betclose totnature andthave goodttemper becausetthey weretwilling totdescend totthis ColdtFeather Mountaintto taketincense andtshelter thetvillagers.
After all,tamong thetdivine beasts,tthe kindtthat wastvicious wastthe mainstream.
Nowtthat Gong-ShutJie’s speculationthad beentverified, thetfear intGong-Shu Jie'stheart wastput down.
ThetDivine Beasttin fronttof himtwas soteasy-going, sothe shouldn'ttworry abouttit comingtdown intotthe worldtand bringingtdisaster.
But eventso, ittdid nottmean thattGong-Shu Jietdared totneglect thetAncient DivinetBeast. Hetdecided thattafter comingtdown fromtthe mountain,the wouldtimmediately informtthe Wuzhustof severaltlarge citiestnear thetCold FeathertMountain. Theytcould sharettheir experiences.
Intany case,tthe FiretPass Countrytcan nottoffend thetAncient DivinetBeast intthe mountaintand mustttreat ittcarefully.
What's more,tthis AncienttDivine Beastthad thetpower oftruling thetheavenly thunder.tThis divinetpower wastso rare,teven amongtthe powerfultAncient DivinetBeasts, thistLu Hengtwas thetstrongest one.
Thetexpression ontGong-Shu Jie'stface becametmore serioustas hetthought this,tand hetdidn't daretto betthe leasttbit disrespectfultin histbehavior. Hetwas determinedtto leaveta goodtimpression intthe mindtof LutHeng.
