The Mountain God

"Limb regeneration!"

When Yun Qiji saw the methods Qin Yan displayed, his little face was full of admiration.

Ba Wei looked at the young man, a slight smile appearing on his face. "Thank you for bringing me here earlier. You even saved my life."

Ba Wei asked seriously, "What do you want?"

Qin Yan stood silently to the side; it was truly not easy to maintain a sincere and benevolent heart in such a chaotic world.

Upon hearing this, the boy was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes in thought!

He was about to speak, but after hesitating for a moment, he shook his head.

"No, the reason I saved the uncle is because my parents always told me to be kind to others."

"One should not expect repayment for kindness received."

As he spoke, he bowed slightly to Qin Yan and the other person.

Ba Wei's expression softened slightly upon seeing this; the child's character was better than he had imagined.

I couldn't help but feel a bit fond of it!

Looking at the dilapidated house, Ba Wei frowned slightly. "Qiji, where are your parents?"

"After going into the mountains, he never came back."

Yun Qiji pointed to the mountain not far away, his eyes filled with unyielding sorrow!

Qin Yan fell silent upon hearing this.

In this era of Spiritual Qi revival, many wild beasts in the mountains have evolved into spirits and monsters.

If an ordinary person encounters these spirits and monsters in the mountains, they have almost no chance of survival.

Even in Yunzhou, which was under his control, he would order people to avoid entering the deep mountain areas as much as possible.

This also strengthened the connections between different villages.

They were terrified that the spirits and wild beasts in the mountains might run down and harm people!

This era is not only filled with the bizarre, but also with various wild beasts awakened by Spiritual Qi.

Ba Wei swallowed slightly, walked up to the boy, and patted his head.

"If you're willing, you can stay by my side from now on!"

After a moment, Ba Wei spoke in a low voice, glancing at Qin Yan as he did so.

"This kid is good!"

Qin Yan chuckled lightly, forgetting that he was only seventeen or eighteen years old.

However, this child has a pure heart, and in terms of character alone, he is truly rare.

Ba Wei saw that Qin Yan agreed, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his face.

"Qiji, from now on you will stay by my side. If you have a talent for martial arts, I will personally teach you."

If not, don't be discouraged. You can return to Yunzhou and study at the school established by the Marquis, where you can still achieve something in the future.

"Lord of Yunzhou!"

Yun Qiji pondered the words, then stared wide-eyed at Qin Yan: "You must be Marquis Qin! The uncle from the village came back from outside and mentioned you!"

A look of admiration flashed in his clear eyes.

That's a legendary figure who actually came to this remote mountain village.

"The uncles in the village all say that you gave land to the people, so that people like us can have food to eat."

Big brother is really amazing.

Yun Qiji said excitedly.

Qin Yan was also very happy, because even in such a remote place, people knew his name.

They also knew what he had done for the people of the world.

This is the will of the people; I believe that we will not encounter much resistance once we conquer Qingzhou.

The people's hearts are with the people; this is a very good sign!

That concludes our casual conversation!

Ba Wei then reported the situation to Qin Yan.

"My lord, I discovered some things while investigating the Yinluo Way."

The people of the Yinluo Way are conducting some bizarre research; they are creating gods!

Ba Wei's voice was deep. "The place I found out is where the other party is cultivating a powerful 'god'."

My whereabouts were discovered by that 'deity,' and I was later besieged by two Supreme Grandmasters.

What happened next was all that the Marquis knew.

"Oh!"

Qin Yan was somewhat surprised. Some people were researching the path of immortality through Ghost Dao, but he never expected that there would be a path of immortality through Divine Dao.

"Tell me in detail what you know?"

Qin Yan, unable to contain his curiosity, thought for a moment and asked, "Is it that Cloud Descending Cloud God?"

"No!"

Ba Wei shook his head slightly, "That was a 'deity' with the body of a beast and the face of a human. I found it in a village."

The entire village worships this deity, absorbing the Incense Aspiration Power!

The villagers are ignorant, and some even support their children online.

Thinking back to that scene, Ba Wei couldn't help but sigh, "The people offered their children as a prayer for favorable weather and a bountiful harvest in the coming year."

Those little babies were only one or two years old.

How did they find out about you?

"Wind...?"

"Yes, the other party smelled my scent through the wind and instantly spoke in human language. The two Third Realm experts hidden in the village shouted out."

These two are extremely powerful.

There was a man called Fisherman, who possessed a special net that was impervious to swords and spears. Once he used it, even I would be helpless to capture him.

The other one was an old woman, whom everyone else called Granny Tang.

This person has a pot; if anything in it touches even a little, it can cut through bones and erode flesh, causing the body's internal True Qi to go out of control!

Moreover, I could sense that this old woman's true nature lay beyond that.

Is it her?

Qin Yan couldn't help but smile; he really did have a connection with this group of Yinluo Way people.

"Does Your Excellency know that Granny Tang?"

There is some cause and effect.

Qin Yan said calmly, "What happened back then is still fresh in my memory."

I never expected to find news about them again here.

"But before we cause them any trouble, perhaps we can talk about what's going on here!"

As he spoke, Qin Yan looked towards the village not far away.

"I sensed an ominous and powerful aura here, similar to a religious deity, but more like a Wild God."

Qin Yan said calmly, "I sensed this aura before I came here."

"Wild God!"

Ba Wei was taken aback at first, then frowned.

"There are really a lot of strange and unorthodox Wild God in Yunqi County."

Qin Yan nodded with a smile.

"Don't go to the village, it's dangerous!"

Yun Qiji, who had been silent until now, grabbed Ba Wei's sleeve, his voice trembling:

"The mountain god eats people!"

His words caused the two to exchange a glance, and both could see fear, guilt, and intense hatred in the boy's eyes.

A wisp of mist lingered in his dark eyes.

Qin Yan stepped forward, looked at the boy in front of him, and patted his head. "Don't worry, with us here, no one will be able to hurt you in the future."

"Just say it."

Yun Qiji looked towards the valley not far away. "A few years ago, a mountain god suddenly appeared in the village!"

They're really something! They often catch wild animals from the mountains and forests and bring them to the village.

The village will surely enjoy favorable weather and abundant harvests.

However, the price is that a child must be offered to the mountain god every year!

That was my younger brother last year!

At this point, Yun Qiji's body trembled involuntarily, and his eyes gradually turned red.

"Grandpa Village Chief said it's a great deal."

One person's life can save more than two hundred people in the village—it's worth it!

"What kind of lousy village chief is this? Why didn't he send his own child?"

Ba Wei immediately swore.

"The village chief's family was the first to offer their child!"

Yun Qiji said in a low, hoarse voice!
