I built the Jade Capital with the Netherworld

Chapter 31: Changes in Human Skin Book

A sudden sound of footsteps interrupted the early morning tranquility of Lao Lu Temple.

The Taoist boy Qiao Mu swept through Lao Lu Temple like a whirlwind, shouting to everyone he saw: "The Lao Lu Mountain God is here!"

The Lao Lu Temple was not big and there were not many people. In just one sentence, all the disciples knew about it and rushed to the gate.

When they were about to run there, they all became flustered and pretended to be busy.

Some were holding brooms, some were moving gravel, some were doing boxing and fitness exercises, and some were using branches to perform digging without any props.

Everyone is very busy.

But inadvertently, he looked at the two figures coming side by side with a sneaky look.

One of them was Mr. Lu, a guest official at the Old Law Temple;

The other one was a middle-aged man wearing a green robe that looked like satin or silk, and a hairpin made of dead branches in his hair.

The two walked side by side and had a pleasant conversation.

When the two of them turned through a moon-shaped door, the disciples of Lao Lu Temple were suddenly in an uproar.

"He is the Old Lu Mountain God?"

"Looks like us?"

"Nonsense, gods aren't humanoid?"

"Why is Old Lushan God here?"

"It seems that Mr. Lu has a very good relationship with Old Lushan God!"

"You forgot, the old Lushan God became a god last night, and our Mr. Lu happened to go out in the middle of the night. Maybe Mr. Lu went there to protect the old Lushan God!"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's written in the storybook that beside the spiritual treasures of heaven and earth, there must be a great demon protecting them."

"Go to hell, your Mr. Lu is the big monster!"

"No, I mean they are almost the same!"

Most of the new disciples at Lao Lu Temple are country boys who grew up listening to Lao Lu’s teachings about the spiritual power of the mountain gods.

Seeing the legendary gods appear before my eyes, I was so excited.

Even the two casual cultivators were amazed.

Being able to make friends with the mountain god, Mr. Lu's energy and ability have far exceeded their imagination.

While the disciples of Lao Lu Temple were talking about it, Lu Wujiu also led the Lao Lu Mountain God into the guest hall.

After the host and guest took their seats, the old Lushan God took out a lotus flower and pushed it towards Lu Wujiu:
"I was able to ascend to the mountain god's rank thanks to the help of my fellow Taoist. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I hope you will accept this small token of my gratitude!"

Lu Wujiu was surprised and asked, "Because of that stick of incense?"

"Exactly!"

Lu Wujiu suddenly realized something, but also felt a little guilty:
"You are too polite, fellow Daoist. It takes a long time to pile up earth to form a mountain! Your ascension to the mountain god is the result of years of hard work. What does this have to do with me?"

Look! Look! This is the immortal!
The old mountain god became more and more respectful:

"No, no, if it weren't for your finishing touch, how could I have achieved what I have today? You planted the seeds, and I reaped the fruits. How could I forget you?"

The old Lushan God was afraid that Lu Wujiu would not accept it, so he gently touched the lotus flower, and the lotus flower immediately bloomed, revealing a coiled whip.

"Besides, this isn't some precious item. It's just a whip for chasing away trees and bushes! When you're out traveling and come across thorns and bushes, just wave this whip to push them aside and save your shoes from getting dirty."

The Forest-Driving Whip was the gift that the old Lushan God came up with after much thought.

Since Mr. Lu is an immortal, he must have no shortage of magic weapons.

Cheap things cannot be given as gifts, nor can they express the feelings you have for them.

He didn't have anything expensive.

The few magic weapons he has are also his life-saving belongings and cannot be given away easily.

After much thought, it is best to use Linbian.

This thing was made from a branch of his body.

He is born with the authority of a mountain god. Although his power is limited outside Lao Lu Mountain, it is more than enough to drive away plants and trees.

It may not seem very powerful, but it is definitely a product of great effort.

"What a coincidence! I'm planning to go out recently, so I'd better obey your command."

"You are so polite, fellow Daoist!" Seeing Lu Wujiu accept the gift, the old Lushan God breathed a sigh of relief.

This immortal fate has been established.

An idea suddenly flashed through his mind, and he took the initiative to say, "By the way, I wonder when you will be out, do you need my help to look after the old Lu Temple?"

Lu Wujiu said, "If you could help look after them, that would be great."

Lao Lushan God: "This is my good fortune!"

Lu Wujiu looked at the polite look of Old Lushan God, feeling deeply moved, thinking that Old Lushan God might be too excited about becoming a god.

Well, I can take this opportunity to make some friends, which can be regarded as finding a backer for Lao Luguan.

The two chatted for a while, and then the old Lushan God handed over another invitation and said seriously:

"I have ascended to the mountain godhood. Soon, I will hold a grand ascension ceremony at the Moon-Watching Terrace, with rituals and music. I hope fellow Taoists will come and watch the ceremony!"

After saying this, he suddenly remembered that Lu Wujiu said he was planning to go out recently and might not be able to join in, so he quickly added:

"I have been cultivating for a hundred years, living alone, with few friends. If you are busy, you can send a disciple from the temple to liven up the atmosphere."

Lu Wujiu took the invitation and said with a smile, "The Ascension Ceremony is a once-in-a-century event. I will certainly be happy to attend it."

"Great, great, it's a blessing to have fellow Taoists join us."

The old Lushan God was so excited that Lu Wujiu felt even more emotional. He was so happy that he felt so cheerful. His speaking attitude and mental state were completely different from last night!
The other person spoke politely, and Lu Wujiu showed equal respect. They chatted about all sorts of things under the sun, and then stood up to see the guest off.

On the way, the disciples of Lao Lu Temple came together to perform. After Lu Wujiu sent away the Lao Lu Mountain God, the gate was closed. Liu Qingtan came over at the instigation of a group of Taoist children.

"Mr. Lu, is he the Old Lushan God?"

"Well, seeing it with your own eyes, are you satisfied?"

"Mmmmmmm!"

The disciples nodded repeatedly.

"Um... Is there something the old Lushan God needs?"

Lu Wujiu casually handed the invitation to Liu Qingtan: "Old Lushan God has ascended to the throne for the first time. He will hold a grand ceremony soon and invites me to attend! When the time comes, you two can go with me and open your eyes."

The Taoist boy Qiao Mu stood on tiptoe, looked at the invitation in Liu Qingtan's hand, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Lu, can we go?"

"Sure! Everyone will go then."

"Wow--"

The Taoist children immediately became excited.

Everyone crowded in front of Liu Qingtan to see the invitation.

Lu Wujiu smiled and left without saying a word.

In the following days, the entire Taoist temple was immersed in the excitement of participating in the ascension ceremony of the Laolu Mountain God.

Although the ascension ceremony is still a month away.

But this did not hinder the excitement of the disciples.

While everyone was excited, they were also practicing hard, trying to cultivate the first breath of innate primordial qi as soon as possible and step into the mysterious gate.

The two independent cultivators who have already cultivated Yuan Qi are also very diligent in their practice.

Lu Wujiu's friendship with the Old Lu Mountain God made them see the profound foundation of the Old Lu Temple. If it weren't for the sudden change, how would they have had the opportunity to enter?

Therefore, I naturally cherish it especially, hoping that after three to five years, I can be listed in the list and achieve great success.

Seeing that Laolu Temple was on the right track, Lu Wujiu went down the mountain after arranging some trivial matters.

When passing by Changxing Village at the foot of the mountain, I saw a group of villagers gathered outside a farmhouse, whispering.

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

You run into evil spirits as soon as you go out?

Lu Wujiu was muttering in his heart when a burst of excited shouts was heard.

"It's born! It's born! It's a big fat boy!"

Lu Wujiu laughed in silence, shook his head and was about to leave when his heart was suddenly shocked.

The human skin book unexpectedly changed at the same time.
