Chapter 279 Gourd Vine? A Primordial God! (13)

We traveled upstream along the river.

It didn't take the unicorn long to reach the vicinity of the Mountain God Reservoir.

In particular, the huge shrine not far away stood out conspicuously in the unicorn's field of vision.

"You actually came?"

"I thought I'd have to send my men to fetch you."

Accompanied by a gentle voice, ripples suddenly spread across the Mountain God Reservoir.

The next second, a giant human-faced fish slowly emerged from the water and looked at the unicorn and the ginseng doll on its back with a curious gaze.

This giant human-faced fish is none other than the queen of human-faced fish—Red Carp.

Compared to a few years ago, the red carp's size has not continued to grow, but her body appears exceptionally agile.

Especially the human face on its back, which perfectly matches the mountain people's definition of "goddess".

Gentle, kind, yet strong...

"Ahem, you should have called me earlier."

With a slightly embarrassed blink, the Unicorn Beast naturally understood the teasing in Red Carp's words.

The unicorn and the red carp are old friends; they've known each other for even longer than Li Boyang.

It was only through Chi Yu's half-deception and half-coaxing that this ghost who had finally escaped from Ghost God Cliff was able to suppress his fear and take the initiative to approach Li Boyang to submit.

As for how the red carp was able to deceive the unicorn?
The cause and effect of all this can be traced back to the gourd vine that the red carp planted.

The Unicorn Rhinoceros, a deity suppressed by the Huaijiang witch a thousand years ago, actually did not meet the conditions for suppression in any way.

Because he was timid and liked to cheat and be cunning.

There was simply no way they could have any direct conflict with the Huaijiang witch.

Similarly, the unicorn is not a violent and cruel deity, and the Huaijiang witch would not actively seek out trouble for him.

Unfortunately, while the unicorn was not tyrannical, it was not exactly a moral exemplar either.

On the contrary, the unicorn's greatest hobby is stealing, especially the treasures that the gods cherish.

Therefore, in the area of ​​the Hundred Mountains, the Unicorn Rhinoceros was also a notorious bandit leader.

Coincidentally, the Huaijiang witch was also famous in the Hundred Mountains for having "a great many treasures".

A considerable number of deities even believed that without the help of those treasures, the Huaijiang Witch would have been nothing more than an ordinary innate deity.

In this situation, even if the unicorn could resist his thieving urges, a deity would still come to tempt him to steal the treasures of the Huaijiang witch.

Ba Gui Jun was one of the culprits who bewitched the Unicorn Rhinoceros.

Unlike other wild gods and deities, Bagui is not a primordial deity of the Hundred Mountains.

She came from the far west, to a place called "Gui Mountain".

It was originally a banana leaf that gave birth to a god, possessing mysterious and unpredictable abilities.

At his peak, Bagui was practically a god.

So, under the influence of Ba Gui Jun, the unicorn, who was already unable to resist its thieving addiction, naturally took action.

Following Ba Gui Jun's instructions, the Unicorn first targeted the tribe of the nearby Huaijiang witch, and then, while the witch was distracted by other spirits, stole a gourd vine that she was cultivating.

It wasn't that the unicorn didn't want to steal more; it was just that the Huaijiang witch was unexpectedly cautious.

Looking back, the unicorn even doubted whether its act of stealing was entirely within the other party's expectations.

After all, the gourd vine that the unicorn brought back did not bring any help to their side.

On the contrary, at the crucial moment when Ba Gui Jun was fighting against the Huaijiang witch.

She forcibly drained Bagui's life force, causing him to ultimately fail and be defeated by the Huaijiang witch. What happened afterward is easy to imagine.

Ba Gui Jun and Du Jiao Si were sealed at Gui Shen Cliff one after another, and they were able to escape only after the seal was broken.

However, it is unclear whether it was out of resentment.

Before fleeing, Ba Gui Jun abandoned the gourd vine, completely ignoring the treasure he had painstakingly stolen from the witch of Huaijiang.

On the contrary, the unicorn took the gourd vine with it before escaping.

But it wasn't until he encountered the Red Carp that the Unicorn Rhinoceros realized just how much trouble the gourd vine he had taken with him was.

This gourd vine is not a treasure at all, but a "primordial deity" born from the essence of Ba Gui Jun.

Yes, the gourd vine is alive.

Moreover, after absorbing the essence of the gods, it successfully transformed from an innate deity into an innate god.

In a sense, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to consider it as Bagui's child.

After realizing this, the unicorn was momentarily at a loss for words to express its feelings.

As mentioned earlier, the unicorn is not a violent and cruel deity.

It was simply not in his nature to watch the gourd vine wither and die.

But asking the unicorn to feed this gourd vine would also be putting him in a difficult position.

Fortunately, Chi Yu gave him some advice at this time.

That means he will temporarily take care of the gourd vine, while the unicorn will seek help from Li Boyang.

That's why the unicorn ox took the initiative to appear and submit.

Of course, the unicorn wasn't stupid, and it didn't tell Li Boyang about this at first.

Instead, it was only after helping Li Boyang quell the flood and establishing his merit that he took the opportunity to tell him about the gourd vine.

Li Boyang had no objection to this.

Or to be more precise, Li Boyang never believed in the idea of ​​unconditional kowtowing and worship.

Submissions made with a specific purpose, like those of a unicorn, are more in line with reality.

Moreover, this incident also reveals the personality of the unicorn.

He was indeed not one of those cruel and tyrannical ghosts and gods.

If Chi Yu hadn't already planted the gourd vine near the Mountain God Reservoir, Li Boyang would have even considered transplanting it to Feilai Peak or an island in Yunmengze.

Naturally, before the gourd vine produced gourds, Li Boyang granted almost every request for its growth.

After all, witnessing firsthand the gradual growth of a primordial deity is a rare and precious experience.

Li Boyang was unsure what would happen if he missed this opportunity.

How long will it take before we can witness the birth and growth of another primordial god?

Unlike the process by which the Red Carp transforms from an innate deity into a god.

The innate deities are born as gods, and their gestation and birth process naturally causes fluctuations in the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

Under normal circumstances, such an anomaly would not cause any problems.

Unfortunately, ever since Wu Yi shot down the heavens, the entire order of heaven and earth has been repeating itself.

The birth of each deity involves many more hardships than before, especially for innate deities.

Even with the meticulous care of the red carp and the ginseng baby, it's hard to say whether any other unexpected events might occur during the birth process.
