Chapter 1901
Mountain God 4
Shan Qing returned to her residence.
While building the hot spring resort, Shan Qing also had the monsters build him a house on the mountaintop.
His requirements were not high; he did not build the kind of large house that wealthy people lived in, but rather a small farmhouse.
The yard is surrounded by fruit trees transplanted from Danqing, as well as some wildflowers.
He sat under the big tree in the yard, staring at his hands.
These hands were finally stained with blood.
Liu Dong drifted past him leisurely, leaving behind a "pretentious" comment!
A cross appeared on Shan Qing's forehead. If Liu Qiu weren't a child, he would have given him a good beating.
Huangfu You and Zongda entered the courtyard.
Huangfu You: "The snake demon's corpse has been burned; this is the inner core she left behind."
Huangfu You handed the inner core to Shan Qing, his eyes fixed on it, full of desire.
Shan Qing: "This inner core is full of karmic sins and is not suitable for you."
"Oh." Huangfu You regretfully withdrew his gaze.
These days, he learned a lot from Shan Qing and Liu Dong. He knew that if one gets involved in evil deeds, it will be very difficult to pass the tribulation in the future. The lightning tribulation will strike the evil demons and scatter their souls, leaving them no chance to be reincarnated.
Conversely, if one does not commit evil, the power of the tribulation lightning during the tribulation will be much weaker, increasing the fairy's chances of successfully passing the tribulation.
If one does many good deeds and accumulates merit, one might even be able to transcend tribulations and become an immortal.
Huangfu You certainly wanted to become an immortal; the title of fox fairy sounded much better than fox demon.
Dan Qing put away the snake demon's inner core.
This thing is difficult to handle; it would be bad if the little demons in the mountains accidentally ate it.
Zongda put the large bundle on his back to the ground and said in a deep voice, "Sir, everything you asked for is here."
"Hmm, well done." Shan Qing rewarded Zong Da with a bowl of honey.
Zongda beamed with joy, drool dripping from his mouth.
With a single finger, Dan Qing opened the package automatically, and all the items inside flew out in a line, each heading to its designated destination.
Seasonings and pots and pans flew into the kitchen, and several booklets flew into Shan Qing's hands.
It was a storybook that Shan Qing had Huangfu You buy to pass the time.
But after looking through these, Shan Qing withered.
We shouldn't have high expectations for ancient storytelling, after all, great writers like Luo Guanzhong and Wu Cheng'en hadn't been born yet.
Setting the storybook aside, Shan Qing took out the seeds and summoned a group of wild boars to help him cultivate the land.
After clearing the land, he sowed the seeds into the soil.
Then we just wait for it to sprout and grow.
With him, the mountain god, around, these crops are sure to grow well.
Meanwhile, Qin Xuwang stayed in the city for two days but still didn't receive any news about the demons eating people.
He then expanded his search to the area around the county town, and learned from a cowherd that two days ago he had seen a beautiful woman following a scholar and a burly man into the mountains.
Qin Xuwang cursed the monster for being cunning and immediately headed to the Great Green Mountain that the Cowherd King had mentioned.
I'm afraid the scholar and the burly man have already fallen victim to the snake demon's poisonous attack. I wonder how much of the snake demon's injuries have healed.
Qin Xuwang entered the Daqingshan Mountains and saw a very well-built manor, which made him even more worried.
Are there other people living in these mountains?
They have all likely fallen victim to the serpent demon's venom.
Having eaten so many people, the snake demon has probably fully recovered.
This is really difficult!
Qin Xuwang pushed open the gate of the manor and carefully began his inspection.
There's no one here. They must have all been eaten by the snake demon.
Qin Xuwang sighed and recited a sutra for the victims in the manor to help them find peace.
He took out his compass and searched for traces of the snake demon.
There are no human beings in these mountains, so the snake demon's aura can be easily detected by a compass.
The compass quickly revealed the location of the demonic energy, but there were several demonic energies. Qin Xuwang: "There are so many demons?"
It's not surprising when you think about it; plants and animals in deep forests are prone to becoming spirits.
Qin Xuwang first searched in one direction and then came to an open-air workshop.
Several plant spirits were busy in the workshop, seemingly making something.
There was a flat rock nearby, and the finished products made by the little demons were drying on it.
Upon closer inspection, Qin Xuwang realized it was paper, snow-white paper, better than any paper sold on the market.
Oh, set out white paper, and yellow paper, yellow paper specifically for drawing talismans.
The quality seemed to be even better than the yellow paper he usually used.
Qin Xuwang was tempted and wanted to buy some yellow paper.
Although Qin Xuwang was a Taoist priest, he was not the kind of stubborn person who would kill any demon he saw. Instead, he only killed evil demons.
These little demons not only didn't harm anyone, but they also made paper and generated income on their own. That's quite good.
Of course, we can't kill them.
After he deals with the snake demon, he will need to buy yellow paper here.
Qin Xuwang turned and walked towards another place where there was demonic energy.
Then, he saw the wild boar spirits who were clearing the land, and the goat spirits and wild dog spirits who were sowing and watering the seeds.
Qin Xuwang: "..."
Do the fairies of Daqingshan know how to farm?
Long insight!
A group of fairies who love life should not be killed.
Qin Xuwang chose another direction to walk in.
Before we even reached our destination, we heard a sound coming from there.
"Heaven and earth were dark and yellow, the universe was vast and boundless. The sun and moon waxed and waned, the stars and constellations were arrayed. Cold came and heat went, autumn harvested and winter stored. Leap years made up the year, the musical scales were in harmony..."
Although Qin Xuwang used Taoist scriptures for his early education, he also knew that the above was the "Thousand Character Classic," an introductory text for scholars.
Children learning to read this article often recite it.
Could there be a primary school in these mountains?
He walked a few steps forward and found a house.
There were indeed some children sitting inside the house, but they were all monsters in disguise.
They are diligently reciting the Thousand Character Classic.
Qin Xuwang: "..."
He felt that the monsters of Daqingshan were different from those of other places; they all seemed to have great aspirations.
At this moment, a figure appeared in front of Qin Xuwang.
Qin Xuwang was shocked and grabbed the hilt of the peach wood sword with one hand.
Upon closer inspection, he saw a handsome young man who appeared to be in his early twenties.
What surprised him most was that the young man had no trace of demonic aura.
But if it's not a monster, how could it live on this Daqing Mountain and suddenly appear?
Ordinary people don't know magic.
The young man spoke up: "I am Shan Qing, the mountain god of Daqingshan."
Qin Xuwang was discovered by Shan Qing as soon as he entered Daqingshan and has been under surveillance ever since.
Seeing that although he was a Taoist priest, he was not a man of indiscriminate killing and did not harm the demons on Daqing Mountain, Shan Qing appeared before Qin Xuwang.
The person before me is actually a god?!
Qin Xuwang was surprised and hurriedly bowed to Shan Qing.
"Qin Xuwang greets the Mountain God."
Shan Qing: "Get up! What is your purpose in entering Daqingshan?"
Qin Xuwang hurriedly said, "I came here after a wicked snake demon. That snake demon is extremely vicious and has already eaten dozens of people!" (End of this chapter)
