I’ll Quit Being a God

Gradually, the old monkey's breathing became heavier and heavier, and the intervals between breaths became longer and longer. No matter how hard the white ape tried, the weak spiritual energy in his body could never help the old monkey.

"Chi...ji..."

In the cave, the white ape's confused cry rang out.

It sat blankly next to the old monkey, watching the female monkey who had raised it since childhood gradually lose her breath, her body gradually began to become cold, and she was a little helpless and panicked.

After the old monkey died completely, it panicked and frightened and shook the old monkey's body desperately.

But no matter how much it shook and shouted, the old monkey remained motionless and would never open his eyes to look at it again.

In the dark cave, the white ape's voice gradually became lower.

At the end, it suddenly turned into a shrill howl of pain, which spread far in the mountains and forests...

…

Lu Heng was still practicing in the underground shrine when he heard the commotion.

The incarnation of the soul suspended in mid-air slowly opened its eyes, with a slightly surprised expression.

With a thought, Lu Heng's soul incarnation appeared in front of the Wolf Temple.

Under the blood-red sunset, a white ape was kneeling in front of the Wolf Temple, howling miserably and kowtowing desperately.

In the white ape's arms, he held a completely cold corpse of an ape.

A girl named Xiao Ai was standing on the steps in front of the Wolf Temple, preventing the white ape from entering.

The expression on her face was both distressed and angry.

"I told you! Lord Wolf God can't help you! Birth, old age, sickness and death are the order of heaven and earth and cannot be changed!"

"Can you please stop messing around here?"

"If it disturbs Lord Wolf God's practice, even if I peel off your skin, I won't be able to atone for it!"

The girl's words were fierce and her tone was ferocious, but the white ape in front of her turned a deaf ear to the scolding, and just kowtowed desperately toward the Wolf Temple, howling in a sad and desperate manner.

The shrill howl spread far in the mountains, looking inexplicably sad.

What Lu Heng saw when he came out was this scene...

After a few seconds, Lu Heng sighed slowly and said.

"Okay, Xiao Ai, you don't have to blame it too harshly."

Patting the girl's shoulder, Lu Heng said, "Let me hear this monkey's wish."

Lu Heng's sudden appearance startled Xiao Ai.

She quickly stepped aside, a little panicked, "Lord Wolf God, I have disturbed your practice..."

"It's okay. I've been underground for a long time, so it's time to come out and take a look." Lu Heng smiled at the girl, and then looked at the white ape kneeling at his feet, his expression became serious.

"Do you want me to save it?" Lu Heng looked at the corpse of the ape in Bai Yuan's arms and asked straight to the point.

Bai Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded desperately, "Chi! Chi Chi Chi!"

Lu Heng looked at it and asked, "Why do you want to save it? Is it very important to you?"

"Chi! Chi!" the white ape shouted excitedly, telling the Wolf God how the old monkey had raised it since childhood.

Under the blood-red sunset, the white ape, holding the corpse of the old monkey, shouting and gesticulating with all his strength, and whose voice had become hoarse, looked so helpless and pitiful.

However, Lu Heng's expression remained unchanged.

He stood in front of the Wolf Temple and listened quietly to what Bai Yuan had said before he slowly spoke.

"This old monkey is very important to you, so after it died, you immediately came to ask me to help you. But your monkey group in the mountains has dozens of monkeys, including your children. These monkeys are also important to you. Very important."

"If they die tomorrow, will you bring them to me to beg me to save them?"

Lu Heng's question made Bai Yuan completely stunned.

It held the corpse of the old monkey in its arms and knelt there blankly, not knowing how to answer for a while.

Lu Heng looked at it like this, sighed softly, and then said.

"Birth, old age, illness and death are the order of heaven and earth and cannot be changed. When you saw me rescuing Xiao Ai once, you thought I had the ability to bring him back to life. So after the old monkey died, you immediately thought of coming to beg me."

"But have you ever thought about it, if I can really save all dead creatures and bring everything in the world back to life, can the world still maintain its current appearance? Aren't there people who have returned from the dead everywhere? ?”

Lu Heng's question made Bai Yuan confused.

It knelt there blankly, not knowing what to say.

Lu Heng continued, "In other words, if I can resurrect the dead at will. Then why didn't I resurrect Xiao Ai's uncle? Why didn't I resurrect the old people who died in Shuisheng Village?"

Lu Heng looked at Bai Yuan and said softly.

"You saved Xiao Ai's life, so Xiao Ai wanted to repay you, so he taught you the method of cultivation, hoping to lead you into the path of demon cultivation, escape from chaos and ignorance, and live longer."

"During those days, she was exhausted physically and mentally, but she didn't dare to give up easily... Why did she have to work so hard?"

"If I can really resurrect the dead at will, then Xiao Ai only needs to watch you having fun in the mountains. When your lifespan is up and you die, I will bring you to me and resurrect you. You can also continue to live in the mountains. Are you playing and carefree? Why does Xiao Ai have to go to great lengths to teach you the way to immortality?"

Lu Heng said in a soft voice, without any harshness in his eyes.

However, in front of the Wolf Temple, the eyes of the white ape kneeling dully gradually became dull.

It understood what Lu Heng meant, and also clearly realized that the female monkey in its arms would never open its eyes again.

Slightly dazed, the white ape lowered his head and stared blankly at the corpse of the old monkey in his arms.

The afterglow of the setting sun made the old monkey's face look old and tired.

Bai Yuan suddenly realized that the corpse in his arms was so heavy that it almost crushed it.

It howled in despair and cried in pain, kneeling in front of the Wolf Temple and kowtowing heavily to Lu Heng.

"Chi! Chi!"

Chapter 57 Under the sect of Wolf God, you will not kneel to heaven and earth

Under the setting sun, the white ape held the cold corpse of the old monkey and left in a desolate and sad manner.

In front of the Wolf Temple, Lu Heng watched the white ape leave and sighed slightly.

Behind him, Xiao Ai hesitated for a while and whispered, "Lord Wolf God..."

"Huh?" Lu Heng looked back at her and saw that the little girl had a look of remorse on her face.

"Xiao Ai neglected his duty and allowed this monkey head to disturb your practice. If I had known better, I should have kicked it out from the beginning..."

The little girl's extremely apologetic self-examination made Lu Heng stunned for a moment, and then he laughed out loud.

"That monkey head is your benefactor, so you just treat it like this... It's not like that, it's not like that."

Lu Heng shook his head and laughed, and said, "However, after such a big change, this monkey should learn to calm down. From now on, you can be stricter in front of the Wolf Temple."

After saying that, Lu Heng looked towards the direction of the Assault Division camp outside the mountain.

There, he could see the blazing fire lighting up half the sky.

It's now past Grain Rain, spring is coming to an end, and hot summer is coming. More than five months have passed since the two Li priests went into seclusion to forge swords.

The casting of the Tribulation Sword seemed to have reached a critical point. Lu Heng, who was in the underground palace, could occasionally feel a little thunderous fire energy leaking from the sword furnace outside the mountain when he was cultivating.

In order to cast this sword, most of Lu Heng's thunder sand was taken away. With such a huge amount of thunder sand as the foundation, it is not known whether the weapon Lu Heng expected can be made.

And if you think about it carefully, Lu Heng's retreat this time has lasted for a long time.

Since the New Year, there has been no thunder striking the mountain in Hanyu Mountain. Although thunderstorms fall every month, there are no thunders among the thunder and lightning.

Although there is no bottleneck in practicing the practice of Yin Yin Tian Lei. But there is no trick to understanding the nature of the mind.

Perhaps it is also because the foundation of Lu Heng's enlightenment is the Heavenly Thunder, which is too special. His process of [opening the Heavenly Gate] is obviously much more difficult than that of ordinary demon cultivators.

When ordinary demons reach this level, they only need to accumulate enough demonic power in their bodies, and they can visualize the heavenly gate in their hearts and enter the palace. It will not take too long.

But Lu Heng has stayed at this stage for nearly half a year. He even realized the special magical power of the incarnation of the soul during his latent cultivation, but the knocking of the [Heaven Gate] seemed to be far away.

Vaguely, he had a vague feeling that the opportunity for his enlightenment was not in Hanyu Mountain, but outside the mountain...

In front of the Wolf Temple, Lu Heng stood silently for a long time.

It wasn't until the moonlight began to rise and night fell that he sighed softly and disappeared from the Wolf Temple.

After the Heavenly Tribulation Sword was forged, he could not leave at this time.

What's more, in this Hanyu Mountain, the white ape still needs teaching. If the white ape can really concentrate on practicing because of this big change, then Lu Heng should also leave time for Xiao Ai and let Xiao Ai supervise the white ape's hard training.

In Lu Heng's heart, he still liked this smart and alert white ape.

I have expectations for White Ape.

Therefore, after returning to the underground to cultivate, Lu Heng did not completely sink into concentration, but occasionally distracted himself to observe the situation outside.

It wasn't until he observed that the white ape had really changed that he felt relieved and fell into concentration.

And after that day, the originally carefree white ape did undergo a huge change.

It carried the old monkey's body back to the mountain and found the monkey group. After handing the old monkey's body to the monkey group, the white ape left alone.

Since then, it has never returned to the mountains to look for the monkeys, and has completely lost contact with the monkeys.

Under the starry night, it came to the Wolf Temple alone and kowtowed several times outside Xiao Ai's room door. The sound of kowtowing woke up Xiao Ai from his deep sleep.

The little girl opened the door and saw a white ape kneeling in the moonlight with a bruised forehead.

"Chi! Chi!" White Ape shouted loudly. He had never been so pious and respectful as he is now.

Xiao Ai naturally didn't make things difficult for it.

Under the moonlight, the young girl said to the kneeling white ape, "In that case, you can practice with me from now on. Just don't blame me for being harsh."

Bai Yuan was extremely happy and wanted to kowtow again, but was stopped by Xiao Ai.

"You are not allowed to kneel down and worship under the sect of the Wolf God," Xiao Ai said in an indifferent tone, "When you enter the sect of the Wolf God, you should be proud and arrogant."

"From now on, you are not allowed to kneel down to anyone. Even this world is not worthy of your kneeling down. Only by straightening your waist and strengthening your Taoist heart can you live up to the reputation of Lord Wolf God. "

Xiao Ai's words made the white ape a little confused. It didn't quite understand the meaning of these words. But it nodded vigorously and remembered these words deeply in its heart.

Since then, Bai Yuan has stayed in the Wolf Temple and practiced with Xiao Ai.

The room where Bai Yuan lived before was cleaned again.

The white ape who used to have a restless mind and would lose his mind after sitting still for less than a quarter of an hour has now learned to calm his mind and can sit still for about half an hour before his mind wanders.

While Xiao Ai beside him was practicing, he was naturally supervising the white ape.

But now Xiao Ai is no longer as strict as before.

Because the white ape himself understands the importance of practice, even if Xiao Ai doesn't say it, he also knows that he should concentrate on entering concentration. It's just that the monkey nature escapes, even if it tries hard to restrain itself, it's too difficult.

So after thinking deeply, Xiao Ai made a daily plan for Bai Yuan.

Carrying water down the mountain, chopping firewood from the back mountain, cleaning the fallen leaves in front of the court every day, wiping the dust in the temple... These chores were divided into many tasks by Xiao Ai, one by one, requiring the white ape to practice for a period of time. Afterwards, I went to do some chores.

It is not only to let it stop and rest when it feels boring in practice, but also to allow it to do these chores to relax its mind and not to become lazy due to idle rest.

From then on, the white ape repeated this kind of life.

Every day, he practices with the girl in the mountains. During his free time, he can complete the chores assigned to him by Xiao Ai, which is fulfilling and simple.

This kind of life lasted for ten days. The white ape has always been pious and serious. He is no longer as stubborn as before, and his monkey nature shows up within a few days.

So Xiao Ai went down the mountain on a market day, went to the market in Nafengbu and Shuisheng Village to exchange pieces of cloth, and made two sets of clothes for the monkey head.

The white ape was quite excited to wear human clothes for the first time. Jumping around the Wolf Temple in that gray blouse, shouting loudly.

When Qianqian came to the Wolf Temple, she was startled when she saw a child in gray cloth sweeping the floor in front of the Wolf Temple.

It wasn't until the white ape turned around that Qianqian saw the white ape's face clearly and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Scared me."

She said, "I thought Lord Wolf God had accepted a new disciple."

Xiao Ai walked out of the hall and explained, "Since this monkey started to practice, I made two sets of clothes for it. But now it seems that it is a bit nondescript for a monkey to wear human clothes..."

Xiao Ai shook his head and said, "Why don't you wear it?"

These words frightened Bai Yuan into retreating quickly, covering his new clothes with all his strength, for fear that the girl would really be stripped off by it.
