Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 180 The mountain god left a legacy
"I??"

Xiao Ran looked at the old man waving at him, and his heart couldn't help but beat fast, but after changing his mind, he simply turned his head away and ignored him.

After the experience in Hongxiang Village, Xiao Ran actually has no good feelings towards these so-called gods and ghosts.

"Child, child, come quickly, come quickly."

However, the old man's voice came into his ears along with the sound of the wind, and Xiao Ran suddenly felt dazed.

Immediately afterwards, my body began to feel light and I felt a cool breeze blowing, and my consciousness seemed to float away with the wind.

"not good!"

Xiao Ran suddenly realized that something was wrong and tried to bite his tongue to wake himself up, only to find that the wind around him seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.

The howling wind made it difficult to breathe. The body swayed left and right with the wind. The eyes could not be opened and the hands were tightly grasped on the beams.

After waiting for a while, when the wind gradually died down, Xiao Ran opened his eyes and saw the old man standing in front of him with a smile on his face.

Xiao Ran immediately became alert, and quickly took out the [Guillotine] from the space with one hand.

But unexpectedly, when he stretched out his hand, he grabbed nothing.

The ability of space seems to have disappeared.

Then I looked down at my chest [Black Swan Brooch] and found that the brooch was gone.

"This……"

He seemed to have thought of something and looked up, and saw his body still sitting on the roof from a distance.

"Child, I have no ill intentions. Don't be afraid of me. I am the mountain god here."

Seeing Xiao Ran's alert expression, the Mountain God immediately began to explain himself.

"The kind of mountain god that eats people?"

"No, no, no, we eat incense. During festivals, villagers will also offer three animals and rice. How dare they eat human flesh?"

Seeing that Xiao Ran seemed unconvinced, the Mountain God quickly pointed to the rotten offerings in the corner, which were indeed pig heads and fruits.

Even so, Xiao Ran did not dare to take it lightly, and said: "In this case, please let me go back first. I will say hello to my friends and come back later."

"Oh, there's no need to go to such trouble. There are so many people here. If someone sees us, it will be bad. Don't worry, I just want you to do me a small favor. I won't hurt you."

"why me?"

This old man has the ability to capture souls, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to find someone to help him. Why did he choose me? Just because I took one more look at him? ?

Unexpectedly, the Mountain God laughed when he heard this: "Hahahaha, if it was anyone else, I wouldn't ask for this favor, but it's because you're here that I'm waiting for you. I'm the Mountain God, under the jurisdiction of the City God. You hold the Yin Card, so you're the Yin messenger from the Yang world. So, you and I are colleagues, so I can only ask you to help me with this favor."

Xiao Ran was stunned when he heard this: "Could it be the Suppression Order?"

After thinking about it carefully, he agreed with what the Mountain God said. After all, he had just met the so-called Yincha Qiu Ye not long ago.

From Mr. Qiu, I also learned the background and origin of the [Evil-Suppressing Order].

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran's expression eased a little: "Since you said so, please tell me what you want me to do for you. If I can help you, I will not refuse. But if I can't help you, please forgive me for being unable to do anything."

"I can help you, I can help you, just follow me."

The mountain god stepped forward, took Xiao Ran's arm and walked into the temple. He tapped his crutch and a golden light spread from under his feet. Then the originally smashed mountain god temple was quickly restored to its original state under the cover of the golden light.

The mountain god pulled Xiao Ran to a mural.

The blurry painting in front of me seemed to be re-colored, and the characters in it began to come alive.

"I don't remember whether this happened thirty or forty years ago. I only remember that the martial arts world was in turmoil that year, and all the masters came out to fight and the blood flowed like a river. The cause of the incident was this old man who suddenly appeared!!!"

The mountain god pointed at the old man on the mural. The old man was wearing a robe made of coarse linen, a dog-skin hat, and holding a box in his arms.

"This man came to my temple, burned incense and prayed, and said a lot of things. He said he was grateful to all the heroes who risked their lives for him, but now he is causing another bloody storm because of him."

In the mural, the old man came out of the mountain temple and was met with two people who came to kill him.

The old man in the painting moved incredibly quickly, and the two men's necks were broken before they could even get a single move from him.

Soon after, more and more people came to kill him. Not only were their attacks ruthless, but their moves were also bizarre and difficult to understand.

Some people set up altars and cast curses, some people called upon ghost soldiers, suonas played all night long, and paper dolls carried coffins and came in a mighty force.

In the end, only four people were left and they defeated the old man and threw him to the ground.

However, after the four men defeated the old man, they immediately turned their attacks and started fighting each other in an attempt to snatch the box on the ground.

As a result, all four of them were seriously injured.

However, the scene immediately changed and the old man who had been stabbed in the chest came back to life. He snatched the key from the box and walked away.

From then on, countless people in the city mourned.

Among them were many civilians who were caught up in this fight.

Eight out of ten families had someone killed, and white paper money fell like snow.

"He didn't go far that day. He hid at my place and drank a lot of wine. He cried more sadly than a child despite his age. He said a lot that night. It's been so long that I can't remember it."

The Mountain God said, turning around and looking at Xiao Ran: "He left me something, saying that I should give it to the right person in the future, but I have been guarding it here for many years and never gave it away. Now the temple is going to be demolished, and I can't keep it."

Xiao Ran didn't ask what it was, but just frowned and asked: "If that's the case, why don't you give it to someone outside? There are many people out there who are stronger than me. It's not just because of my identity, right?"

"Humph!"

Hearing this, the Mountain God looked up at the makeshift houses outside the temple and couldn't help but sneer: "These people are all greedy thieves. They wanted to build a chamber of commerce for me before, and said they wanted to confer titles on me. They didn't have any good intentions. After I refused, they got angry and wanted to destroy my temple. How can I give them things?"

"I see." Xiao Ran nodded thoughtfully.

"And then? The old man gave you the key?"

"No, he left me something else."

"What??"

The Mountain God raised his finger, a ray of golden light condensed at the fingertips, and lightly touched Xiao Ran's forehead. A huge force came, making Xiao Ran's head buzz, as if something had drilled in.

"My friend, if you see the City God, please tell him that I won't report to him next year. I'm tired of being the Mountain God."

As the mountain god finished his words, a gust of wind blew up, and the next second Xiao Ran felt a warm feeling coming over him, and his body shivered involuntarily. Then he shook, and when he came to his senses, he almost fell from the building.

Fortunately, he realized that he was beginning to lose balance, so he quickly used his lightness skills to drift with the wind, and landed steadily on the ground with a somersault in mid-air.

This action alone caused Apple in the room to suddenly open his eyes, and he jumped up like a carp and walked to the window, leaning sideways and asking, "What's going on with Durian?"

When Apple asked this, Orange and the others also became alert.

Xiao Ran felt a little embarrassed and quickly said, "Sorry, sorry, I just slipped."

Hearing Xiao Ran's words, Ju Zi couldn't help but curl her lips: "You scared me, I thought there was some movement."

"It's okay."

Apple didn't even take a break, he took out a meat bun and stuffed it into his mouth: "Okay, you take a break, I'll keep watch."

"No, you should rest for a while, it's not my time yet."

Xiao Ran said this and jumped onto the roof.

Apple didn't force it, but took out the buns and sat on the ground to eat them.

Xiao Ran put the blanket back on, but his mind was in a mess. He felt like there seemed to be something inside, but he couldn't tell what it was.

It felt like an egg, a golden egg. Even though he tried to meditate and watch it, he could only see the hazy light outside the golden egg and could not feel clearly what was inside.

Reluctantly, he took out the [Evil-Suppressing Order] and started to read it.

"This thing is really a treasure, but I don't know whether the identity of this ghost messenger from the mortal world is a trouble or a good thing."

Xiao Ran now seemed to understand a little bit, why the old man threw this thing in the old house in the first place. He looked towards the mountain temple, but saw that the golden light that originally appeared in the temple was slowly dissipating at this moment...
