Chapter 151: Public officials who are dishonest and cunning are not acceptable!
"Pei Zhou!"
“Brother Pei!”
Li Yanchen and Li Shang both exclaimed in surprise.
Just as Bai Ningyu was about to use the technique of stepping on someone, a withered figure suddenly appeared and violently pushed Pei Zhou away.
This person was none other than the old herbalist that Bai Ningyu and his group had met before, the real mountain lion.
This situation caught the tiger pig off guard. When it wanted to retract its strength, it was too late.
The tiger pig's attack sent the tiger flying several meters away, and the tiger's skinny body fell heavily beside the incense burner.
The tiger held his chest and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
The tiger pig also seemed to have suffered a serious injury, lying on the ground with its body curled up.
Pei Zhou rushed forward upon seeing this, helped the extremely weak Shan Jun up, and pulled out a bunch of bottles and jars from his arms. He said anxiously and choked with sobs, "Grandpa, eat these quickly. These are the life-saving pills my master gave me."
Pei Zhou tremblingly stuffed a handful of pills into the tiger's mouth.
Shan Jun coughed twice and said in an extremely weak voice, "Young man, with such a large handful of pills, are you trying to choke me to death?"
Then the tiger pushed Pei Zhou's pill away.
Pei Zhou was getting a little anxious because he could feel that Shan Jun's life was slipping away quickly. "Don't worry, Grandpa. I'm a disciple of the Holy Medical Hall. My master is the renowned Chinese medicine master, Dr. Hua Zaisheng. I'll take you to him. He'll definitely be able to save you!"
As he spoke, Pei Zhou was about to help the tiger up. At this moment, the tiger suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Pei Zhou panicked upon seeing this. His eyes fell on Bai Ningyu, and he pleaded, "Miss Bai, please save this old man! He only saved me..."
Pei Zhou's tears fell on the tiger's hand.
Bai Ningyu was about to step forward when she was stopped by the Seventh Master: "Miss Bai, this matter all started because of him. Now it is time for him to put an end to it. We must not interfere and disrupt the cause and effect."
Pei Zhou's eyes were filled with tears as he asked in confusion, "Miss Bai, what does the Seventh Master mean by this?"
Bai Ningyu sighed and said, "Pei Zhou, the one in front of you is Shanjun, the mountain god of this place. A hundred years ago, he used a forbidden technique to extend the life of Huzhu, and gave half of his life source to Huzhu. Since then, the two have been of the same origin.
If the tiger lives, the pig lives; if the tiger dies, the pig dies. The pig's attack just now had accumulated a great deal of demonic power, but the tiger didn't use its spiritual power to protect itself. I guess it wanted to die with the pig and put an end to this wrongdoing."
The tiger pig lying on the ground groaned in pain and roared at the tiger: "Idiot, what are you doing? You will kill both of us!"
A hoarse laugh escaped Shanjun's throat. He looked at the tiger pig lying on the ground, a look of relief in his eyes: "You and I have lived long enough. Back then, it was also because of a momentary thought that I asked Mr. Junfang for forbidden techniques, and I acted against the will of heaven. Now it is time to end it all."
Hearing Shanjun's words, Huzhu's expression changed drastically, and he said in horror: "You...what are you going to do!?"
Shanjun slowly raised his hand, and saw a black and white inner pill flew out of his chest and fell into his hand.
When Huzhu saw this, he was horrified: "No, you can't do this! I'm your brother!"
The tiger pig tried to stand up to stop it, but its severely injured body was unable to support it to stand up.
The tiger looked at Bai Ningyu, then swept his gaze over everyone, finally settling on Pei Zhou.
There seemed to be a hint of anticipation in his eyes. "Young man, I've been keeping an eye on you these days since you came into the mountains. I can see that you have a reverence and love for all living things. Are you willing to let me protect this land and become its trusted mountain god?"
Among this group of people, the most suitable one would be the little girl in front of him, but he could see that her future definitely did not belong to this small place.
Although Pei Zhou is a little silly, he is kind-hearted and compassionate. I believe he will be able to protect the lives of these people.
Hearing this, Pei Zhou looked at Bai Ningyu at a loss. He was extremely conflicted. Compared to the hustle and bustle of the city, he preferred the secluded mountains. But he couldn't stay in the mountains forever. He still had his master and his sect, which he could not abandon after all.
"You don't have to stay in the mountains all the time. You can hold sacrifices and other major festivals here. After you become the god of this mountain, you can naturally feel the wishes and prayers of the creatures on this land. You can come back if you have anything to do. There is no need to worry about it." Bai Ningyu explained.
Pei Zhou still hesitated and said, "Is that so? But I'm afraid I can't bear such a big responsibility. I..."
"Okay, I'll take this as your agreement. I know you're a doctor, but the mountain god is just like a village official, a small official with little work to do and plenty of time. It won't delay your work of saving people. You can use all the medicinal herbs in the mountains. The key is, if you do a good job, you can get a promotion. How about that, isn't it?" At this moment, the mountain god was just like the big bad wolf who tricked Little Red Riding Hood.
Hearing this, Li Yanchen grumbled in a low voice, "You are so unkind. If it were really as good as you say, wouldn't you have been promoted and given a raise by now? Why are you still here?"
Bai Wuchang explained, "Actually, based on the Mountain Lord's achievements, if it weren't for his brother's burden, he would have been promoted to a higher-level mountain god long ago."
"Oh, that's really a pity." Li Yanchen nodded regretfully.
"Well... okay, I promise to help you protect this land." Pei Zhou agreed solemnly.
A smile appeared in the corner of Shanjun's eyes, and he slowly raised his fingers. The moment they touched Pei Zhou's forehead, a golden light quickly rushed into Pei Zhou's eyebrows.
A mountain god mark appeared on Pei Zhou's forehead, and the mountain god's divine power quickly flowed into his body.
The tiger was also aging at a speed visible to the naked eye. Feeling the loss of spiritual power, the tiger's eyes were filled with resentment and resentment.
"Little girl, I'll give you this Yangxi grass. The road ahead is long, and perhaps you will need it." A very ordinary plant appeared in the palm of the tiger.
Bai Ningyu thanked him, took the Yangxi grass from the tiger's hand, and put it into the space.
Shanjun looked at the almost dying Huzhu with a complex expression in his eyes. He finally sighed and said slowly, "Today, you and I return together, just like we came here together."
As he said that, the tiger crushed the inner elixir in his hand with all his strength.
The next moment, the bodies of the two gradually turned into white dots of light and disappeared into the air.
Pei Zhou looked at the tiger in his arms that turned into a point of light and disappeared, and felt an indescribable pain in his heart.
"Now that we're done watching the fun, it's time for us to get back to work." Bai Wuchang said as he looked at the monks with a smile.
Everyone was frightened by his look. He was clearly smiling, but he made people feel inexplicably afraid from the bottom of their hearts.
"If everyone is okay, please help throw these minions here." Bai Wuchang said, pointing at the black hole in the void.
Everyone: "..." Contempt! Shame! Can a corrupt public official be so cunning and deceitful? Besides, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Do we dare not listen to you? I just hope you don't show that sinister smile anymore. It's like you want to take us away!
Thus, with the help of a group of monks, the group of ghosts in the Mountain God Temple were quickly thrown into the entrance of the underworld.
"Looking forward to seeing you next time, everyone." Bai Wuchang waved to everyone, then disappeared into the black hole with Hei Wuchang.
The monks twitched their lips, their hair disheveled in the wind, and shouted in their hearts, we don’t expect this kind of thing at all!
