Chapter 369 The Missing Mountain God

In the [Wulin] world, the indigenous people of Guandong are called the Jueyan people. They have been fishing and hunting for generations. They are tough and believe in shamanism, using animals in the mountains and forests as totems.

As more and more people from the Central Plains went out of the pass, the Jueyan people gradually became civilized. More and more Jueyan people gave up their original relatively primitive living habits, especially the Jueyan people in the southern part near Juehou Pass. Relying on the large plains and fertile land, they also began to reclaim farmland, build villages and cities, live together with the people from the Central Plains, and enter the pass to trade.

After years of coexistence, most of the Jueyan people in the south can no longer be distinguished from the people in the Central Plains.

But further north, where the climate is colder, the mountains are more rugged, and the forests are more lush, there are still many Jueyan tribes who respect tradition.

Now, standing in the lobby of the Baicao Chamber of Commerce, these people wearing animal skins are the northern Jueyan tribe from the deep mountains!
“Girl, don’t talk nonsense…” Seeing that the girl from the Jueyan tribe was holding on to the ginseng and refusing to let go, Lu Youcai immediately called for help. The bodyguards from the Chamber of Commerce came and surrounded several members of the Jueyan tribe.

"We herbalists collected these herbs from the deep mountains. Could it be that your Mr. Chang is growing herbs in the deep mountains and forests?" Lu Youcai sneered, "As far as I know, you northern Jueyan people can't even grow food, let alone herbs..."

"Uncle Chang is not a human!" The girl from the Jueyan tribe argued, "Uncle Chang is our mountain god. The medicinal herbs you have here are all from his valley!"

"Mountain... Mountain God?" Lu Youcai said with a look of laughter and tears: "Girl, I respect your beliefs, but as the saying goes, there are gods above your head. According to what you said, every mountain in the world has a mountain god, and every river has a river god. Doesn't that mean that the trees on the mountains and the fish in the rivers all have owners? We who live between heaven and earth will just starve to death..."

"These are different!" The girl continued to argue: "These medicinal herbs were carefully cultivated and cared for by Master Chang all year round... Now, the herbs have been dug up by you, and Master Chang is nowhere to be found... What on earth did you do to Master Chang?"

When the girl mentioned this, her face turned red. The several Jueyan people behind him also looked annoyed, with their hands on the hilts of the swords at their waists.

"Wait..." Hearing this, Luo Jun came up and said, "You said that these medicinal herbs are personally looked after by your mountain god?"

The girl looked at Luo Jun with a puzzled look in her eyes: "Who are you?"

Luo Jun smiled and said, "I am the herbalist who brought these herbs."

Hearing what he said, the girl's bright eyes revealed anger: "You are the medicine thief!"

"Eh?" Luo Jun raised his hand and said, "Let's talk it over. When I went to collect herbs, I didn't see anyone, nor did I see any mountain gods, and I didn't do anything sneaky. I dug this ginseng openly!"

"Impossible!" the girl said angrily, "For many years, Master Chang has never left the valley. Now the herbs are missing along with him. Since you dug up the herbs, you must know the whereabouts of Master Chang, right?"

"I have indeed never seen any mountain gods..." Luo Jun spread his hands, suddenly stunned, and then frowned: "Wait... What does the Master Chang you are talking about look like?"

The girl said, "Mr. Chang is the god of Moshan Mountain, and his Dharma image is a giant snake!"

When these words came out, Luo Jun and Lu Youcai both widened their eyes. A giant snake?
So it seems that the giant snake that Luo Jun killed and took its gallbladder was the so-called mountain god?

Because it was difficult to sell, the snake gall was not put on the auction house. Instead, through Xu Bo's relationship, he contacted the leaders of the major martial arts sects to find a market for it. Therefore, the people of the Jueyan tribe did not see Mr. Chang's gall among the treasures displayed by the Chamber of Commerce.

So, I killed God?

Feeling absurd, Luo Jun couldn't help but look at the girl opposite him with some embarrassment. As a relatively primitive ethnic minority, it was not uncommon for the Jueyan people to worship powerful animals as mountain gods. Luo Jun didn't feel guilty about killing a big snake... But after all, this was someone else's belief, and he really didn't know how to admit it in front of her...

"You have seen Uncle Chang, right?" The girl keenly caught the change in Luo Jun's expression: "Where is Uncle Chang? He is already 999 years old, and he will be able to fly into the sky and transform into a dragon in one year. Our tribe will also become stronger under his blessing! Tell me quickly, where is Uncle Chang?"

"This..." Luo Jun said hesitantly, "I said that's all feudal superstition. Do you agree?"

"What are you talking about? I don't understand!" The girl continued to ask about Mr. Chang's whereabouts: "Tell me, where is Mr. Chang!"

Just when Luo Jun didn't know how to answer, a roar from ancient times suddenly came from the north!

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."

This roar was different from any animal cry I had ever heard. As the sound rang out, the entire Baicao Chamber of Commerce, and even the entire ground of Badaoji, began to tremble slightly...

Earthquake? No, feeling the shaking under his feet, a ridiculous idea suddenly emerged in his mind.

The earth is shaking with fear!
Because, along with this roar, there was also a powerful pressure!

This terrifying pressure made everyone who was in Badaoji at that time, no matter if they were ordinary people buying and selling medicinal herbs, or martial arts knights passing by, unconsciously collapse and tremble all over!

Even Luo Jun felt his heart beat a few times for no reason!
This pressure comes from the genetic instinct, the fear of superior creatures!
Luo Jun was like this, so naturally Lu Youcai and the bodyguards and thugs from the Chamber of Commerce who were around him could not hold on any longer. They either fell to the ground and twitched, or ran away in panic.

In contrast, the natives of the Jueyan tribe were not intimidated by the pressure.

But looking at their reactions, they seemed even more frightened.

"It's Li Mazi!" Several people looked up at the sky in horror: "Li Mazi has come out!"

"Who is this Li Mazi?" Luo Jun was confused, and suddenly noticed that a large dark cloud floated from the north and instantly covered the sky above Badaoji. Then, accompanied by a thunderclap, heavy rain poured down...

“The power of cloud-making and rain-making…” Several Jueyan people rushed out of the front hall and stood in the yard, looking up at the sky in the heavy rain, with a look of shock on their faces: “Li Mazi, he actually succeeded?”

Success? Success in what?
Luo Jun also came to the yard and looked up at the dark clouds with rolling thunder. A slender and huge figure was leaping and rolling in it, appearing and disappearing.

Could it be that... Luo Jun suddenly remembered what a classmate casually said before he came to the internship.

"I heard that dragons really exist in the [Wulin] world!"
