I’ll Quit Being a God

But at this time, the little girl could not escape.

She lay limply on her back on the cane sedan, with a frightened expression, stiff limbs, and closed eyes.

If he hadn't heard the little girl's heartbeat continuing, Lu Heng would have thought that the little girl was scared to death by him.

Hey... what kind of evil do you think this is?

Although he was not a handsome guy in his previous life, he was not ugly enough to make children cry.

It was a good thing in his life that he scared a little girl so much that she fainted and became incontinent, making her look like he was a monster who did all kinds of evil.

Um? Wait...a monster?

Lu Heng stood beside the rattan sedan, pacing in deep thought, looking through the vague and incomplete memories of the giant wolf again.

After the wolf demon was hit by the thunder, its soul completely dissipated. Lu Heng only inherited some memory fragments when he traveled through time. He could only speculate on the wolf demon's general experience of birth based on these fragmented information, but he could not know specifically about each of them. thing.

But now, after carefully looking through these memory fragments, he found some useful information.

It seems that not long ago, the wolf demon informed the villagers at the foot of the mountain what sacrifices to offer it.

The sacrifice was related to the wolf demon's cultivation. Although Lu Heng couldn't remember the specific requirements for the sacrifice, it probably wasn't a righteous cultivation method.

Looking at the girl who was brought tied up in front of him and the strange behavior of the villagers, Lu Heng immediately thought of a legend - offering a virgin to a monster?

Depend on!

The wolf demon has been the mountain god here for eighty years, but because his practice has stagnated, he actually asked the villagers to worship virgins to him? This is the path of cultivation that only real demons and monsters would take.

After decades of being a mountain god, this is the result?

No wonder he was struck by thunder, he really deserved to die.

In the mountain temple, after Lu Heng figured out everything, he lowered his head again and looked at the little girl in front of him.

The girl was wearing a slightly loose wedding dress. Even in a coma, she was curled up and very insecure.

How can I avoid scaring her out again?

After thinking about it, Lu Heng jumped directly onto the altar and blended into the clay statue.

Then he blew out a wisp of breeze. After the breeze fell on the girl's face, the little girl's expression gradually softened with her eyes closed and her brows furrowed.

After a while, the girl slowly opened her eyes. After seeing the mountain temple in front of her with a little daze, she suddenly remembered the terrifying scene she saw before she fell into coma.

"save--?!"

The moment the girl spoke in horror, she suddenly found that she could speak.

She quickly lowered her head and realized that the rope on her body had been untied and was no longer tied.

Although the empty mountain temple still looked strange and dark, the huge white wolf was no longer visible.

In the empty and deserted mountain temple, the girl was the only living person. She shrank her neck nervously and looked at everything around her in fear and uneasiness, not knowing what was happening.

Could it be that the white wolf she saw before she fell into coma was her imagination? Why else hadn't she been eaten yet?

Also, who helped her untie the rope from her body?

The girl hurried to the door and looked outside.

It was still raining heavily outside the house. It was impossible to go out on such a rainy day, and I couldn't see any kind-hearted people outside.

She could only turn around again, nervously looking at the white wolf clay sculpture on the altar, and shrinking her neck.

Could it be... could it be that the mountain god helped her untie the rope?

The girl thought in panic and uneasiness, and carefully looked at the clay sculpture of the white wolf on the altar. She felt that there was something different about the clay sculpture of the white wolf.

It was obviously the same ordinary clay sculpture as before, without any changes, but the little girl vaguely felt that the clay sculpture seemed to be alive, and the eyes of the clay sculpture seemed to be looking at her...

The girl cautiously called out, "Shan... Lord Mountain God?"

This low calling sound is like the sound of mosquitoes. If you are farther away, you can't hear it at all.

But the clay sculpture on the altar suddenly moved, and the clay sculpture of the white wolf let out a deep laugh.

"You actually called me...are you not afraid of me?"

The moment the clay statue opened its mouth, the girl was so frightened that she took several steps back, and her expression became frightened again.

But maybe the clay statue didn't look as scary as the previous giant wolf, or maybe the mountain god's deep laughter didn't sound ferocious, so the girl wasn't frightened and fainted this time.

Although she was still extremely frightened, the girl immediately knelt down and kowtowed desperately.

"Lord Mountain God! Please don't eat me! Please don't eat me!"

The girl desperately begged for mercy. She was so young that she couldn't think of any more words to beg for mercy, so she could only keep repeating such a sentence.

The clay statue on the altar made a sound again.

"Okay, okay, stop kneeling, I won't eat you. I am a mountain god, not a monster, how can I eat people?"

The clay statue said such words, which made the little girl a little confused.

The mountain god doesn’t eat people? Then why did the village sacrifice virgins to the mountain god...

The girl looked confused, but Lu Heng didn't intend to explain.

Although he traveled into the body of a monster, his soul is a human being. How could he do such a thing as cannibalism?

Seeing that the little girl's mood had returned to calm, Lu Heng jumped out of the clay statue.

The moment the huge white wolf appeared in the mountain temple, the girl trembled with fear - the impact of such a huge monster on mortals was simply too great.

But this time the little girl was not frightened and fainted. Although she was trembling with fear, she forced herself to kneel there for fear that she would offend the mountain god in front of her.

Outside, the heavy rain gradually stopped.

Lu Heng looked down at the little girl in front of him and asked, "What's your name?"

"Xiao...Xiao Ai, the moxa of mugwort."

"Xiao Ai... I understand," Lu Heng nodded, spit out a wooden sign from his mouth, and said, "You can go back. When you go back, tell the people in the village that I no longer need your donations. It’s time to sacrifice boys and girls.”

"This wooden sign is my mountain god's order. It can take you out of Hanyu Mountain and back to the village."

"And if you walk in the mountains with this wooden sign, all the wild beasts in Hanyu Mountain will not dare to hurt you. You should go back now, it will get dark if you delay for a long time."

Lu Heng looked at the sky outside the house. Although the heavy rain had stopped, the mountain roads were muddy and it would take a long time for the little girl to go back alone.

If we delay for a long time, it will be difficult to walk on the mountain road after dark.

Of course, the fastest way at this time is actually for Lu Heng to send the girl back in person.

With the power of the mountain god, he can shrink down and walk in Hanyu Mountain, or even escape directly. It won't take long to get out of the mountains.

It's just that Lu Heng still has strong power of thunder in his body and is still seriously injured. Before the power of thunder in his body was resolved, he could not leave the mountain temple at all. He needed to rely on the power of incense accumulated in the temple to suppress the thunder in his body.

Anyway, with his Mountain God Order, this little girl can walk out of Hanyu Mountain alone. She is just a little tired on the road, and the Mountain God Order is enough to protect her.

After using the mountain god's order to send the girl away, Lu Heng escaped underground again and continued to practice, trying to resolve the power of thunder in his body as soon as possible and regain his ability to move freely.

The days of practicing underground every day are not very pleasant.

Chapter 3 Monkeys

After the girl named Xiao Ai took the palm-sized wooden sign, she felt a little cold touch.

This wooden sign is wrapped with a silver silk thread and can be hung around the neck.

She pulled gently and found that the silver thread was very tough and could not be pulled.

Raising her head, the girl looked at the giant white wolf in front of her and heard the deep voice of the Mountain God again.

"Okay, you go quickly and go back to find your family."

Although the voice was still low and serious, and there seemed to be a faint echo, the girl was no longer so afraid.

She knelt down sensibly and kowtowed vigorously.

"Thank you, Lord Mountain God!"

The heavy rain outside had stopped by now, but the road in the mountains was still muddy and difficult to navigate.

The little red embroidered shoes the girl was wearing had not gone very far before they were already stained and wet by the mud and water, and even the skirt of the red wedding dress was stained.

But she was very happy.

She originally thought that she was going to die or be eaten by the mountain god, but she didn't expect that the mountain god not only refused to eat her, but also let her go home. This was a happy ending that she could not even imagine.

After walking a certain distance, the girl looked back in the direction of the mountain temple.

Under the dark sky, the mountain temple surrounded by dense forests looked slightly eerie, and the white wolf in the temple had disappeared.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have imagined that there was such a big wolf in the mountains.

Is this the mountain god that everyone respects and fears... It seems different from what the elders in the village said.

The girl was a little confused.

Growing up in Shuisheng Village, the legends she heard about mountain gods were that they were powerful, terrifying, and even cannibalistic.

But after meeting the real Mountain God in person, she found that although the Mountain God was indeed majestic and scary, he was not at all cruel and terrifying as rumored.

Even a little...kind?

The girl shook her head quickly to get this idea out of her mind.

How can you say that the mountain god is kind? She should be in awe of such a majestic and powerful mountain god.

Thinking this way, the girl clenched the wooden sign in her hand.

I don’t know what kind of material this small wooden sign is made of. It feels cold to the touch and feels light and airy when I hold it. She must have been very tired after walking so far on the muddy mountain road.

But now I don't feel tired, and my steps are still light.

And holding this wooden sign, she actually knew in her heart which direction to go to return to the village - she had never been to the mountain temple before and had no idea about the path in the mountain.

In the sky, the light gradually became gloomy and dim.

That was not a sign that heavy rain was coming, but that it was getting late and dark.

The girl who noticed the change in the sky was a little anxious. If she could not get out of the mountain before dark, she would not be able to walk on the dark mountain road without a lantern or a torch after dark.

Although Hanyu Mountain is not a famous mountain or river, it does have cliffs.

If she was unfamiliar with the path and walked around in the dark, she would be dead if she accidentally fell off the cliff.

The sign given by the mountain god could only protect her from being eaten by wild beasts, but it didn't say it could protect her from falling to death.

The girl thought of this and walked even more hurriedly.

The hem of her skirt was already covered with dried mud. The mud solidified on the hem of her skirt, making it extremely heavy. And after walking in the mountains for so long, she gradually began to feel hungry.

Gulu——

The gurgling sound in his stomach was extremely harsh in the deserted mountain forest.

The hungry girl walked for a long time on the muddy mountain road. Finally, she couldn't hold on any longer and sat down on a rock to rest.

In the gradually dimming mountain forest, the girl clutched her hungry stomach, her eyes filled with tears.

So hungry... so hungry...

She couldn't walk anymore.

Although she would not be tired walking in the mountains with the Mountain God Token, she was so hungry that her feet were weak.

The girl sitting on the rock held her stomach, looked at the increasingly dim sky with tearful eyes, and murmured, "I'm so hungry..."

She didn't know how long she would have to walk, but she really couldn't walk anymore.

It would be nice if there was something to eat now, the girl thought to herself.

But having grown up in a mountain village, she also understands that no fruits and vegetables are ripe during this season, and there are no edible wild fruits in the mountains and forests.

...that's what she originally thought.

But something suddenly fell on her head, causing her head to hurt a little.

The girl picked it up and looked at it, and was stunned...walnuts? Why are there walnuts here?

She raised her head and found a dozen monkeys squatting on the tree above her head.

These monkeys appeared at some point. They all stood on the branches and looked at her with their heads down, as if they were looking at something fun.
