I steal from the heavens

Chapter 55 Pass

Mu Nianci looked at the sky outside the temple, as if reminiscing.

"That day, the master flew into the Guxian Mountain, and his subordinates also chased after the mountain. After several days of hard searching, the subordinates built a wooden house at the foot of the mountain and lived in seclusion."

"After a few years, there seemed to be some great chaos. Refugees and deserters appeared here. My subordinates couldn't bear to see the refugees being bullied for no reason, so they helped them several times. Those deserters and bandits, who belong to my subordinates? Opponent. This subordinate already possesses martial arts, and coupled with the master’s immortal energy, this subordinate is even more powerful."

"After coming and going, the refugees built their own houses, lived next to their subordinates, and settled down. After a few years, this place gradually became a small village, and this subordinate became the first village head. Perhaps because of the subordinates, the next village chiefs will be succeeded by women."

"One day, officers and soldiers suddenly arrived in the village, bringing an imperial edict. He said that the emperor appreciated my martial arts and wanted to invite his subordinates to come out of the mountain and become a general. The subordinate wanted to guard the mountain for his master, so he refused. However, not long after, here More refugees arrived, and news of the imperial court's defeat also followed. Even here, there were incidents of foreign cavalry massacring refugees."

"My subordinate couldn't bear the displacement of the people. After much tossing and turning, he decided to leave his master for a few years and lead troops to fight against the enemy."

"However, this subordinate still thinks too simply. A subordinate can stand against thousands of people with one blow on the battlefield, but they cannot escape the open and secret fights in the court, and finally they are murdered and plotted against."

"This subordinate was less than 30 years old when he died. I am really ashamed of my master's immortality, this subordinate..." Mu Nianci was a little depressed.

Li Gu comforted: "Isn't it just a ray of immortal energy? It's okay. Now that you are a mountain god, you still lack a ray of immortal energy?"

That was not a simple wisp of immortal energy, it was the last thought left by the master for his subordinates.

Mu Nianci sighed slightly, "After my subordinate died, he beat away the ghosts who came to arrest him and ran back here. The people in the village already knew about my subordinate's death, so they set up a memorial tablet. With the memorial tablet , and the subordinates will temporarily have a place to stay."

"Wait." Li Gu asked, "Why didn't you reincarnate? Before you were alive, I let you live your own life, and you guarded the mountain for me. That's fine. Why do you want to come back after you die?"

Mu Nianci stood up and clasped his fists in a salute, "Master saved his subordinate from the human traffickers, and even avenged his family, but this subordinate can't repay him. He wanted to guard the mountain for his master all his life, and then go to reincarnation after death. But The subordinate left privately, died prematurely, and had a last wish in his heart, so he did not want to reincarnate, and wanted to guard the mountain for the master for another hundred years."

Li Gu tapped the table with his fingers, "A hundred years? It has passed long ago, right?"

Mu Nianci smiled and said slowly to Li Gu: "The next step is the focus of my report."

She slowly took out a black token from her waist, on the front was engraved with the four gold characters "Ghost Escort".After Li Gu saw it clearly, she turned the token over again, and the two characters on the reverse side of the token were "Zhao Li".

"This is Zhao Li's badge?" Li Gu was stunned.

Mu Nianci nodded and said: "Exactly. With this waist badge, the master can freely enter the underworld."

Li Gu took over the belt, but he never expected that Mu Nianci would actually get involved with Li Zhao.This is a golden thread, one of the male protagonists of "Soul Ferry".

"How did you get it, Zhao Li's badge?"

Mu Nianci smiled and said, "It's a coincidence. After my subordinates fled here, it was Li Zhao who led the people to hunt him down. The subordinates had heard the master call his name. Although he had changed from a monk to a It was a strange mistake, but my subordinates still recognized him at a glance."

Forehead.The monk's name is "Wu Ming", and Zhao Li is his name after he became a ghost messenger.Li Gu wanted to explain, but found it troublesome, so after thinking about it, let it go.

Mu Nianci waited for Li Gu to finish thinking and regained his senses before continuing: "However, he seems to have lost his memory. Seeing that his subordinates knew him, he started chatting with them. He really wanted to find out about his past. Just tell him that my master knows him."

She pointed to the waist tag in Li Gu's hand, "He was anxious and wanted to go to the mountains to find the owner. It was said that he found it, but he was burned by the owner's breath and did not dare to come closer. He could only leave the waist tag and said that he would wait for it. Master woke up and went to find him."

Li Gu also guessed a little bit about what happened next, "So, he forced you to stay and become a mountain god here?"

"It was indeed Zhao Li who proposed this matter. However, the subordinate also voluntarily stayed and wanted to repay the master's kindness." Mu Nianci said.

After accepting the badge, Li Gu asked, "Now that the favor has been repaid, what are your plans?"

She thought for a while and said, "This subordinate is only thinking about helping the master complete the task. After the master leaves, the subordinate...maybe go to reincarnation."

"What kind of birth!" Li Gu knocked her on the head and scolded with a smile, "Are you stupid? Don't you want to be a good mountain god?"

Mu Nianci held her forehead and cautiously tried, "Why don't you follow the master? The master is still in his infancy, so it would be easier to do things with his subordinates waiting on his side."

"Follow me?" Li Gu shook his head and refused, "You are now the incense god of this village and the mountain god of this land. If you leave here, you will lose all your magic power. If you leave for a long time, your cultivation will be exhausted. Become a lonely soul."

He drank the tea in the cup and said, "The core area of ​​this mission is in the underworld. You can't help me. Just feel free to practice here. You have already helped me a lot."

He took out his waist card and shook it, "This waist card is already better than thousands of troops."

"Yes. This subordinate obeys." Mu Nianci clasped his fists in frustration.

Li Gu was a little silent.If Mu Nianci was regarded as a woman, to be honest, he had no such interest from the beginning.However, if he were to be his subordinate, then Li Gu would be a little bit reluctant.

Where can I find such a loyal subordinate?He has worked so hard to guard him here for more than 200 years, and even helped him catch up with Zhao Li.She is simply capable. If she is left here, it would be unacceptable.

Li Gu smiled and said, "Don't worry. After I finish the task, if you still want to follow, I will take you with me."

When Mu Nianci heard this, his face was filled with joy, his eyes narrowed into a smile, "Thank you, Master, for fulfilling the sincerity of my subordinates."

At this time, there was a noise outside.

A young man rushed in and shouted: "It's not good, Madam Nian Ci, those monks from the Xuantian sect are here to make trouble again."

Mu Nianci put away his smiling face, and said without anger, "Master, this subordinate will leave first." After speaking, it turned into a red light and flew out.

The young man didn't leave right away, but looked at Li Gu in a daze, and said in disbelief, "Could it be that the fairy boy is, Lord Xianjun on the Cloud?"

Li Gu thought for a while, Yunshang Xianjun seemed to be a nickname given to him by these villagers, so he nodded.

The young man looked at the stone statue of the man with two axes, and then at the serious-looking child Li Gu, and was dumbfounded.What went wrong? Why was the Immortal Lord Yunshang, whom he had worshiped for more than ten years since childhood, different from what he imagined.
