I smiled and patted Liu Neng on the shoulder.
"Not bad! Since you are so enthusiastic, we will not be respectful. In Northeastern terms, you are quite good at causing trouble, right?"
Liu Neng nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"That's right, Brother Wu's language talent is amazing! He learned Northeastern dialect very well."
I reached out and rubbed the head of the largest and fattest one among the "five rats". It was very furry. Because the body is relatively large, it feels like rubbing a dog’s head or a cat’s head.
It seemed a little afraid of me, its eyes were a little dazed and timid, but it didn't dare to run.
I laughed.
"You fat rats are interesting. Keep them well! Although they are monsters, as long as you don't do evil or evil, it won't be a big problem. Otherwise, even if I spare you this time, it will be difficult for you to meet Zhengxiu in the future. Escape to a miserable end."
Liu Neng nodded wildly in agreement.
After it was over, we went back to our respective rooms to sleep.
…
Early the next morning, when we got up, we found that Liu Neng had prepared a very sumptuous breakfast and greeted us with a smile.
Looking at the dark circles under his eyes, you knew that he probably didn't sleep well yesterday.
There is also a tired fat mouse with its little paws on the door frame, revealing five furry heads looking out - he probably didn't sleep well either, and Liu Neng took him to prepare a sumptuous breakfast today to please us, right?
After finishing breakfast, I told Liu Neng again that he could practice the "Five Rats Moving" technique, but he must not go astray or evil and use rat demons to harm others!
Liu Neng shook his head like a rattle and swore to God that he would never steal money from his guests again. How could he dare to harm anyone?
I nodded and prepared to leave Liu Neng's house with Du Changmao, Li Shuiwang and the others. He was going to join the others in the open space outside the village.
Unexpectedly, Liu Neng grabbed me and said that he had something to say to me in private.
Um?
I frowned slightly, wondering what trick this guy was trying to play.
The two of them reached a secluded place, followed by five fat mice.
"What do you have to say?"
Liu Neng immediately looked around, then lowered his voice mysteriously and said to me.
"Brother Wu, are you going into the primeval forest of Changbai Mountain?"
I rolled my eyes.
"Nonsense! You see, we are fully armed and have all kinds of adventure equipment and local guides ready. Are we here for tourism if we don't go into the mountains to hunt for treasures?"
"Um...Brother Wu, there is something I want to tell you. Just recently, my rats discovered something terrible about the Changbai Mountains."
oh?
I raised my eyebrows, waiting for his next words.
Liu Neng continued.
"My rats and mice usually live in a semi-free range state. After all, they are monsters, so they can't be kept completely in the yard of the house like ordinary pets. Therefore, they sometimes run into the village on their own. Go play in the mountains behind or find something to eat."
I nodded, thinking this was normal...
After all, these chubby mice look silly and cute, but in fact if they are really vicious. The power of each mouse is comparable to that of a wild wolf!
Going for a walk in the mountains often can indeed maintain your energy and fighting capacity.
Although I don't know the "Five Rats Moving" technique, as long as it is a monster, it is essentially the same as before.
Then what?
"Since not long ago, my rats have always seemed a little anxious after they came back. I asked them what happened? The rats told me. They said they were walking deeper into the mountains, and once they went too far. , when we reached the deepest end of the Grand Canyon, we began to vaguely feel an aura that frightened them."
oh?
I frowned slightly.
"The aura that scares the five rat monsters? Is it some kind of powerful monster?"
Hearing what I said, the five big fat rats next to Liu Neng immediately became excited.
Each one of them stood up on their hind legs like a human being, gesticulating with their front paws, and squeaking in their mouths. He also pointed in the direction of the primeval forest of Changbai Mountain, as if he wanted to tell me about it himself...
I was speechless for a while.
This desire for expression is a bit strong!
But they are not the rat demons I raised, and they have not yet reached the level of "mind transmission". How can I understand the squeaking rat calls?
I can only show my hands.
"Squirrels, I can't understand what you are saying! You don't know how to transmit sounds with your spiritual consciousness, so let your master, Old Liu, do the talking."
The five big fat rats probably wanted to please me, but when they saw that I couldn't understand, they all lowered their heads and looked a little downcast.
Liu Neng threw them a rat and a piece of corn, and they became happy again. They held the corn in their little paws and began to nibble.
He continued to talk...
At the beginning, Liu Neng didn't take what Wu Shu said to heart. After all, Changbai Mountain is so big, the primeval forests and canyons are so mysterious, and there are so many kinds of beasts. It is normal for a powerful monster to appear sometimes!
As a practitioner living at the foot of Changbai Mountain, Liu Neng knew that this kind of thing was normal in the mountains, although his cultivation level was not high.
As long as you don't cause trouble, that's fine, right?
Under normal circumstances, these powerful monsters will not come out to cause trouble.
Otherwise, even if there are no decent monks, the Yang Chaos or the armed forces of the imperial court alone would be enough for them to drink from. There’s no need to go out!
So Liu Neng gave these fat rat spirits a few words and told them not to run around when entering the mountains.
As a result, in the next few days, these rats came back even more frightened.
He gestured and told Liu Neng that he had encountered some other little monsters in the mountain, saying that the mountain god was about to wake up! When the mountain god wakes up, all the creatures in the mountain will have to obey him.
Mountain god!
Anyone who dares to have such a title is definitely an extremely fierce person.
This frightened the five rats, so in recent times, they have not dared to go into the mountains to play or find food. Stay at home honestly and eat the food Liu Neng provides...
Speaking of this, Liu Neng was a little worried.
"Brother Wu, although my rats may look a little stupid, they are actually very smart. And they will not deceive me as their master. So what they say is probably true. If the God of Changbai Mountain is not a kind person, you guys It would be a bit dangerous to enter the mountain at this time. How about forgetting it now and look at it after a while?"
He persuaded in a sincere tone.
After listening to what Liu Neng said, I fell into deep thought.
In Lianghe Town, I met the River God!
The so-called "River God" is actually generally the most powerful monster in a certain river basin.
In the same way, the so-called "mountain god" is the most powerful monster in a certain mountain forest!
How strong is it?
That's unknown... It mainly depends on how large a forest is controlled.
Moreover, it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil in the "Mountain God" and "River God" in this age of Dharma. As long as they are strong enough and can control an area, they can be called them. It is no longer like the ancient times when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was sufficient, they were basically good demons and "righteous gods", and they had to be canonized by the court, heavenly masters, real people, etc.
Although there were "evil" river gods and mountain gods in ancient times, they were very few after all, and they could easily lead to encirclement and suppression by Zhengxiu.
Therefore, in our age of the end of the Dharma, it is better to stay away from these weird things!
If you can't avoid contact, don't contact. If you can't avoid provoking, don't provoke.
Liu Neng probably advised me like this out of good intentions.
As for Liu Neng, is that the mountain god of Changbai Mountain?
I think it’s nonsense!
The entire Changbai Mountains is so vast, stretching for thousands of kilometers!
If it is the Changbai Mountain God, it is not on the level of the big fish and river god in Lianghe Town. Rather, it is equivalent to the existence of the entire Sichuan River God, or even the God of the Yangtze River...
I have heard Taoist Xu Xinyi mention this kind of thing before, saying that it basically fell into a deep sleep hundreds of years ago. It's impossible to wake up!
Why?
Because in the Age of Ending Dharma, there is simply not enough spiritual energy to support their survival!
When it comes to the Changbai Mountain God, the Yangtze River God - even at the level of the Sichuan River God, they need to absorb an extremely large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth every second of their lives - just like ordinary people need to breathe oxygen.
So hundreds of years ago, these "great gods" disappeared.
