Chapter 328 We have something to discuss with the Mountain God
You want me to go find the mountain god again?
Hearing what Lao Li said, Xiao was stunned. He still remembered vividly the last time he went to look for the mountain god. He didn't want to gamble on the probability again and experience some absurd things.
Besides, the mountain god is not the lifeline for the problems he is currently facing.
At the same time, a few steps away from Xiao, Mo Zuche was somewhat surprised at the familiarity between Xiao and Lao Li.
However, he still clearly remembered the purpose of this trip, he was not here to chat with people.
Seeing that Lao Li's attention was all on Xiao and he had completely ignored him, he coughed lightly and said loudly: "I heard from the city lord that the old gentleman knows a lot about the mountain god. It just so happens that we have something important to discuss with the mountain god. I wonder if the old gentleman can give us some guidance."
"Talking to the mountain god?"
The word "mountain god" seemed like a mysterious code. After Mo Zuche said it, Lao Li's gaze finally left Xiao.
Old Li narrowed his eyes slightly, with a searching gleam in his eyes. He looked up and down at the stranger standing next to Xiao and asked softly, "Who are you?"
Mo Zuche did not rush to answer Lao Li's question, but continued slowly: "The mountain god prevented the god-level strongmen from entering the mountain to attack the enemy leader, and the army is planning to break the formation in the mountain."
"That god-level warrior doesn't accept the certification ceremony?" Old Li cast an inquiring look at City Lord Bai who was closest to him.
"No, the ceremony failed. I absolutely followed the requirements of the ceremony, but still..." Before Lord Bai could finish his words, he sighed and shook his head repeatedly, looking a little helpless.
"Failure..." Old Li murmured softly and fell into a brief silence.
After a moment, he straightened his back with a solemn expression, as if what was behind him was not a thatched hut, but a solemn temple.
His somewhat cloudy eyes swept across everyone's faces, and he said seriously: "The mountain god is sleeping."
"Can't communicate..." Just like dark clouds covering the sun, the light in Mo Zuche's eyes suddenly dimmed, and a look of disappointment emerged on his face, "Is it because he couldn't resist the erosion of the disaster entrenched in the mountain, so he fell into a deep sleep?"
Xiao also said: "Are we late?"
"No," Old Li shook his head, "Lord Mountain God has been sleeping since the beginning and has never woken up."
"Never woke up?" Everyone was stunned, and many doubts suddenly arose in their minds.
For example, how does the sleeping mountain god distinguish between friend and foe?
For example, how does the sleeping mountain god know where help is needed?
"That's right. All of His actions are based on instinct. How He perceives the world is not something that an ordinary person like me can comprehend." Lao Li said.
“In other words, as long as we awaken the mountain god…” Mo Zuche’s eyes lit up, as if he had grasped hope.
Xiao interrupted him: "I'm afraid it's not that simple."
He thought about what Lao Li had just said and had some guesses in his mind.
The mountain god did not appear recently, but has existed since the establishment of Baihe City. If He could wake up, He would have awakened long ago.
"I don't know how to wake up the mountain god, but my family still has some face in front of the mountain god. The god has given my family the ability to send messages in dreams." Old Li paused and suddenly looked at City Lord Bai, "I heard from the neighbors that something went wrong with the hot springs in the city, and it can drive people crazy. Is this true?"
The Baihe City officials did not have the energy to block the news of the hot spring pool water being polluted. They were busy cooperating with Meng Ji’s army to deal with various situations.
It was also because of this that all kinds of speculations among the people reached Lao Li's ears.
"It's true."
Lord Bai nodded.
When Lao Li mentioned this, he remembered that he had been too busy these days and had not yet given this matter an official characterization. If he allowed the rumors to spread wildly among the people, who knows what they would end up like.
"Has longan been contaminated..." Old Li murmured, a trace of worry creeping up his brows, as if a dark cloud was covering his eyebrows.
He slowly turned his head and looked into the dim house. The door of the inner room was opened a crack, and a young child carefully poked his head out from inside. His innocent eyes were full of curiosity, and he was looking at the stranger outside the door through the gap between Lao Li's body and the door frame.
At this time, Mo Zuche asked anxiously, "What else do I need to prepare for the mountain god's dream?"
Hearing this, Lao Li retracted his gaze and refocused his eyes on the three people outside the door, and said slowly: "You two can just follow me to the mountain temple."
Now everyone knows that the mountains are dangerous, so it is understandable to find two bodyguards for yourself.
After saying that, Old Li looked at City Lord Bai again, with a pleading look in his eyes: "If I can't return from the mountain, then I'll have to trouble the City Lord to take care of the child."
Are you making arrangements for your final arrangements?
Hearing what Lao Li said, Xiao immediately said: "I will protect you."
Old Li glanced at Xiao and nodded slightly: "Thank you for your help."
Now, Ye Lingchuan has already taken action. With his speed, he should have entered the area of wind and snow by now, and Xuanzu is estimated to be about to start breaking the formation. Things are urgent, and they should go up the mountain immediately to see if the dream-telling method is feasible.
Only by knowing the results as early as possible can we make the next step quickly.
However, Xiao said that he still had to go to the military camp outside the city.
"What are you doing there?" Mo Zuche asked in confusion.
"Go get something."
"Do we have to go now?"
"Yeah." Xiao just finished speaking, and suddenly remembered that Mo Zuche was from "Yuanliu", so he followed the topic and said, "If you can contact Huang Guxuan, I won't go."
Mo Zuche shrugged. "If I were in charge of the research, maybe I could contact him. Do you have something to talk to him about?"
Xiao nodded slightly.
"By the way, can the Fox King Huang Guxuan go directly into the mountain?" Mo Zuche asked casually.
"This..." City Lord Bai frowned, and after some thought, he analyzed seriously, "It is said that he was originally a royal guard, and later drifted to the human world and was taken in by the immortal sect. When he came of age, he rebelled against the immortal sect and followed his former master, and eventually became a demon god. His identity is a bit complicated, and it is hard to judge without seeing it with my own eyes."
Old Li was just an ordinary citizen who didn't know these secrets. After listening to Lord Bai's description, he combined his own experience and immediately concluded, "At least his certification ceremony won't fail."
Seeing that he was so confident, Lord Bai asked, "Do you know why the certification ceremony failed?"
"It's nothing more than that he once had a grudge with the Mountain God. But it's impossible for a new god to make enemies with the Mountain God." Lao Li replied.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Mo Zuche's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam of light, then he looked at Xiao and asked in a low voice: "How is your relationship with Huang Guxuan?"
"It should be OK." After exchanging glances with Mo Zuche, Xiao immediately understood what the other party meant. Before the other party asked a question, he answered first, "We can give it a try."
Mo Zuche changed his mind instantly: "Then let's go to the military camp with Xiao first."
If we could get a top god-level expert to come over, we wouldn't have to go up the mountain and face the possible dangers there.
At this moment, a rough horn sounded from the distant city wall. An indescribable atmosphere shook the air. Among the four people present, except Xiao, the other three had a layer of frost on their faces.
Noticing the strangeness of the others, Xiao asked, "What's that sound?"
"This is the sound of the enemy's attack horn." Lord Bai replied in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Xiao's expression changed slightly.
Enemy attack?
The enemies that attack during this period of time could only be them, right?
At this moment, Lord Bai's communication stone suddenly rang.
It turned out that the messenger couldn't find City Lord Bai in the City Lord's Mansion, so in desperation, he had to ask the City Lord's confidant to help contact him.
Here’s the bad news:
A tide of beasts is approaching, and the city has lost contact with the military camp outside the city.
