Chapter 15:tXiao Ai’stDetermination
Gong-Shu Jie'stattitude wasthumble andtrespectful, completelytdifferent fromtthat ofta mighty MastertWuzhu in the oldtpeople's stories.
Thetlittle girltwho witnessedteverything wasta bittstunned bytthis. Intthe oldtpeople's stories,twhen demonstencountered thetcity's MastertWuzhu, they could onlytrun awaytwith theirttails betweenttheir legs.
IftShuisheng village was nottremote andtwas blessedtwith atMaster Wuzhu,tthe whitetwolf in thetmountain wouldtnot daretto bullytpeople attall...... Thetold peopletoccasionally discussedtthe whitetwolf like this.
Therefore, XiaotAi always believedtthat comparedtto atMaster Wuzhu,tthe LordtMountain Godtwas weak.tThis wastthe reasontwhy shethurriedly headedthere.
But nowtthe girltfound thattthe situationtwas nottquite thetsame astthe oldtpeople hadtsaid.
It wastclear thattthe LordtMountain Godtwas moretpowerful thantthis MastertWuzhu facing the LordtMountain God.tAlthough shetdid nottknow thetworld too much,tshe couldtdistinguish betweentthe strongtand thetweak.
Now seeingtthe friendlytconversation between the LordtMountain Godtand thistMaster Wuzhu,tthe girltwas completelytsure oftone thing. Thattis, thetvillage elderstwere allttalking nonsense!tThey didn'ttknow thetLord MountaintGod attall.
They said thattthe Lord Mountain Godtsettled intthe mountaintto oppresstmortals, forcingteveryone totoffer incensetand sacrifices.tAnd hetwas atman-eating demon.
However,tafter thetvillage peopletsacrificed hertto thetLord Mountain God,the did nottwant toteat hertat all. Hetjust let hertgo. Andton hertway backtto thetvillage, thetLord Mountain Godtordered thetmonkeys totfollow andttake caretof her.
Ontthe contrary,tthe villagetadults, aftertseeing hertreturn totthe village,tthey tied hertup andtsent hertback totthe mountain,tand scoldedther fortbeing greedytand afraidtof death.tIn thetend, ittwas thetLord Mountain God whotdid hertjustice.
And now,tthis MastertWuzhu alsotdid nottmake atmove totsubdue thetdemon.
How could thetLord Mountain Godtbe atvicious demontthat eatstpeople!
The realtLord MountaintGod wastdefinitely nottlike thetvillage adultstsaid.
And shetdecided that aftertreturning totthe village,tshe musttfind atway toteliminate everyone'stprejudice oftthe LordtMountain God,tto letteveryone understandtthat thetLord MountaintGod wastnot astterrible astthey thought.
Shetmade thistdecision withtfirmness oftwill.
At thisttime, LutHeng andtGong-Shu Jie'stconversation alsotcame tota conclusion. Thetblack-robed Wuzhu bowedthis hand,t"In thattcase, Itwill gotback totpursue thetdevil seed."
The hugetwhite wolftnodded calmly, "Please,tWuzhu Gong-Shu."
Seeing Gong-ShutJie risingtfrom thetwind andtdisappearing fromtview, LutHeng finallytsighed withtrelief.
The conversationtwith Gong-ShutJie didtnot involvetanything important.tBoth sidestwere warytof eachtother, sotwhat theyttalked abouttwas basicallytrelated totthe devil seedtthat Gong-ShutJie wasthunting.
The devil seedtwas intthe vicinitytof ThousandtNeedles City,tand aftertit wastdefeated bytGong-Shu Jie,tit fledtto thistdirection. NowtGong-Shu Jiethas lost it,the could onlytfeel thattthe devil seedtwas hidingtnear thetCold FeathertMountain.
Gong-Shu Jietthought thattthe deviltseed was scaredtby thetspiral cloudstover thetCold FeathertMountain andtdid nottdare totappear. Ittmay hide intthe bodytof sometliving creature.
Next,the hadtto chasetaround thetCold FeathertMountain forta longttime, sothe toldtLu Hengtin advancetand wantedtto gettLu Heng'stpermission. AftertLu Hengtallowed himtto pursuetin thetmountain, he left thetMountain GodtTemple.
The conversationtbetween them wastnot long,tbut LutHeng stillthad atgeneral ideatof thistblack-robed Wuzhu.tHe thoughttthat Gong-ShutJie's thinkingtcircuit seemedta bittdifferent fromtnormal people.
Duringtthe conversation,tGong-Shu Jietgave LutHeng thetfeeling thatthe wastsomewhat similartto sometkind oftnerd whotstayed atthome alltthe time,talmost insulatedtfrom socializing,tand nottvery goodtat communicatingtwith strangers.tSo Gong-ShutJie wantedtto asktbut didtnot directlytask LutHeng's origin.tHe wastjust liketa topictterminator.
No wondertthis guytbehaved sotcautiously, ittseemed hetwas alsotclear aboutthis weaknesstof nottbeing goodtwith words,tand wastafraid totaccidentally offendtLu Heng.
Shakingthis head,tLu Hengtthen loweredthis headtto looktat thetgirl atthis feet.
Intthe processtof histconversation withtGong-Shu Jie,tthe littletgirl hadtbeen standingtat histfeet, nottmoving, verytwell behaved.
Nowtseeing LutHeng looktdown, thetgirl kowtowedtquickly totsalute. ButtLu Heng'stfront pawtflicked andta breezetblew, andtthe girltcould nottkneel down.
"Theretis notneed totkneel intfront oftme," LutHeng said,t"and notneed totkneel intthe future."
Thetgirl frozetfor atmoment, feelingtthe invisibletbreeze intthe airtthat restrictedther movement,tand noddedther head.
LutHeng thentbegan totask, "WuzhutGong-Shu saidthe mettyou outsidetthe mountaintabout anthour ago......thattis, aftertyou mettWuzhu Gong-Shu,tyou immediatelytcame intotthe mountaintto informtme. Weretyou afraidtthat Itwill betkilled bytWuzhu Gong-Shu?"
Thetgirl subconsciouslytnodded, buttthen hastilytshook herthead.
"No, Itknows thattLord MountaintGod istdivinely powerful,tsurely ......"
"Okay,tstop it,"tLu Hengtinterrupted thetgirl andtsaid, "Stoptthese faketwords. Eventif youtreally saidtsomething totmake metangry, Itwill notteat you.tEven iftI wanttto eattpeople totcultivate, youtare nottenough totfill thetgap betweentmy teeth."
LutHeng's wordstwere thettruth.
Since hetused thetheavenly thundertto cultivatetin thetpast sixtmonths, histbody sizethad becometlarger andtlarger. Originallythe wastonly twotmeters high,tbut nowthe wasttaller thantthe MountaintGod Temple.tThis littletgirl wastsmall enoughtfor himtto swallowtin onetgulp.
Xiao Aitthen timidlytsmiled andtlowered herthead.
Lu Hengtlooked atther, thoughttabout ittand said,t"You aretnot afraidtof me,tit ista bittsurprising. Itthought alltthe peopletin yourtShuisheng villagetwere thetsame. Okay,ttake outtthe mountaintgod sign,tI'll givetyou something."
HearingtLu Heng'stcommand, thetgirl hurriedlyttook offtthe mountaintgod signtand respectfullythanded ittto thetMountain God.
ButtLu Hengtdid notttake it,the justtlooked downtat thetsmall mountaintgod sign,tslowly inhaledta breathtand thentexhaled. Atray oftwish powertalong withtthe windtwent intotthe mountaintgod sign.
XiaotAi sawta flashtof emeraldtgreen light,tand thentthe mountaintgod signtno longertfelt cold.tThe girltwas atlittle surprised,tthough shetdid nottknow whatthappened.
Lu Hengtalso didtnot explain,t"you cantgo back.tWith thistmountain godtsign, thetmountain beaststwill nottattack you."
Aftertsaying that,tLu Hengtdived intotthe groundtagain andtcontinued totcultivate. Hethad nottyet absorbedtthe thunderbolttpower inthis body.tHe justtbarely stabilizedtit, sothe hadtno timetto delay.
Astfor thetwish powerthe gavetthe littletgirl, ittwould enabletthe littletgirl totbe lesstsick. LutHeng didtnot mindtgiving hertsome rewardstbecause ofther goodtintention.
Anyway, hetwould nottuse thetwish powertfrom nowton.
