I am a living immortal.
Chapter 229: Spirits in the Deep Mountains
After hearing what Su Mu said, the hunter broke out in a cold sweat again.
"Fortunately, you didn't rush in. Otherwise, without the giant snake's help, you really wouldn't be able to get out."
The hunter waved his hands and said, "How could I dare to go there? I almost couldn't get out this time. Speaking of which, is that giant snake really a spirit?"
"I don't know about that. Most likely, he saved your life, so he probably hasn't committed any murderous sins. He's virtuous and spiritual, so he'll definitely achieve great things in the future. It's not impossible for him to become a mountain god."
"This..." After all, hunters rely on the mountains for their livelihood, so it is better to believe it exists than not to believe it.
"Then Taoist priest, should I enshrine it?"
"It's only right. After all, I saved your life and I have to bear the consequences."
"I will remember the Taoist priest. I will offer my worship sincerely to repay your life-saving grace." The hunter certainly could not just say it casually. When it comes to matters of ghosts and gods, words must be witnessed by heaven and earth, so they cannot be made up. The more people have witnessed magical things, the more they believe in them.
Su Mu nodded. He had not expected that he could hear such an interesting story just by exchanging some meat for food.
The two of them then chatted about other things around the mountain. They were all ordinary things, and there were no ghosts or monsters. A pheasant was eaten clean while they were chatting, and only the bottom of the chicken soup was left.
The base was not wasted. The bones and some soup base were all thrown to a black hunting dog. While Su Mu and the hunter were eating, he sat quietly at the door with the old goat.
When the owner poured the bone to the hunting dog, the old goat looked at Su Mu, as if saying, where is mine?
Su Mu patted the old goat's head and whispered, "Eat, eat, eat. All you do all day is eat. Even a glutton can't eat as much as you."
The old goat feels wronged...
At this time, the hunter came over and asked, "Master, do you really not need to stay overnight?"
"No, I won't bother you any more. It's still a while before dark."
"Well, Taoist priest, please be careful on the road." Su Mu waved his hand, and then led the old goat away, and soon he disappeared from sight.
The hunter also turned back to his house, rummaged through the cabinet, found a handful of incense, lit it with fire, and found that it was still burning. He breathed a sigh of relief. He first bowed to the heaven and earth, and then visualized in his mind what it looked like when he first saw the giant snake.
The smoke from the burning incense surrounded the hunter's body, and the image of the giant snake in his mind became clearer and clearer.
Although it is a little late, this faith and incense still drift into the depths of the mountains.
On a banyan tree that the hunter had seen before, a giant snake slowly crawled and opened its eyes, feeling the transmission of incense, and a hint of understanding flashed in its eyes. If the hunter was here, he would definitely find that this giant snake was much bigger than a few years ago, and the ferocity of its head was more and more obvious.
…………
Following the direction indicated by the hunter, it soon became dark. A bright moon hung in the sky. Without the obstruction of clouds, it was particularly round. Strands of moonlight fell. From Su Mu's perspective, the moonlight falling in the depths of Qiyang Mountain was brighter than that in other places.
It should be some monsters that have become spirits and are guiding the essence of the moon.
Many creatures also worship the moon, and Su Mu has encountered them before.
He stopped walking and found a relatively flat stone to sit on. He also built a fire and prepared to spend the night in the forest.
The forest in the dark night is a different kind of lively scene.
However, these "excited" people did not dare to provoke Su Mu, and most of them just watched from afar. Now Su Mu no longer needed to absorb spiritual energy when meditating. Most of his meditation time was spent on himself, observing the world, and observing himself. The principle was the same.
The animals in the dense forest that had not yet awakened to intelligence, or had just begun to awaken to intelligence, looked at Su Mu curiously. They could see Su Mu with their eyes, but in their perception, Su Mu had disappeared. This mismatch between vision and perception left these creatures, whose brains were only the size of walnuts, puzzled, but they did not dare to explore too closely.
This watching lasted the whole night, and time passed by like a flash.
When these creatures woke up, sunlight had replaced moonlight and fell on them, and the gathered animal spirits scattered.
In their eyes, watching Su Mu was no different from watching the sun and the moon. Su Mu simply sitting there was a part of the world, or to put it more accurately, Su Mu was nature.
When Su Mu opened his eyes, he exhaled lightly.
To some extent, this breath is the innate energy, of course it is not that exaggerated. Su Mu has not reached that exaggerated level yet.
Su Mu led the old goat and continued on the road towards Yinxiao Town.
On the way, he met more people. Compared with before, he still attracted a lot of attention because of his clothes. However, the look in his eyes seemed to be not just pure curiosity, but also mixed with a hint of consideration and desire.
He didn't know what these people were thinking about when they stood up, and the closer they got to Yinxiao Town, the more meaningful their thoughts became. Su Mu knew without even having to calculate that something strange must have happened in Yinxiao Town.
We walked like this for four or five days.
Because many roads are blocked by mountains, we need to take a long detour. The hunter said it was forty or fifty miles, but the actual distance may be more than doubled. According to the normal person's walking speed, it may take more than half a month to go back and forth. No wonder ordinary people will not go into the city unless it is necessary.
Yinxiao Town is in the valley. From Su Mu's perspective, it is an irregular flat land from the mountainside, and then it extends all the way along the gaps between several low mountains. This is the most prosperous area in this area. It is the core and center of hundreds of miles of mountains. Although Yinxiao Town is called a town, it has actually reached the standard of a county. It's just that the Yu Dynasty did not set up a county here.
Walking down the mountainside, there were more people on the road. Most of them lived nearby and exchanged some wild delicacies and herbs for food. The food was not produced by themselves, but transported from other places by caravans. It was much more expensive than in a big county like Chengwei.
This is roughly the operating mode.
After walking for about two hours, they entered the town. It was more lively than expected. Su Mu walked on the street. There were people selling food, mountain products of slightly lower quality, and pheasants. All kinds of things that could be found in the mountains were picked up and put on display, and those that could not be found in the mountains were put in conspicuous places. The main point was to cherish things and they were authentic.
There are also many restaurants and shops along the street.
When he was halfway there...
"Roar!!!" An extremely loud sound came from above. Su Mu looked up and saw the child next to him covering his ears. The adults were not panicked, but their faces looked a little strange.
