Chapter 209 Peace of Mind
Time flies, and half a year has passed quickly.
The thing that the Liangshan Mountain God was slightly worried about before he went into seclusion happened.
The unrest continued, the situation in Liang State was unstable, and the people were suffering.
In such chaos, evil spirits quietly invaded the human world and took advantage of the chaos to harm the people.
The moment Li Yuan sensed the evil spirit's fluctuations, he disappeared from the bamboo forest.
A moment later, he came back with the head of a rat ghost.
The evil spirit, the rat ghost, looks like a rat and a snake, with insect-like limbs. It likes to eat blood and bone marrow, and looks very scary.
However, after Li Yuan arrived, he just threw out a piece of immortal power and killed him.
After all, it is just a small monster and it is difficult to resist the tyranny of immortal power.
Li Yuan directly refined the rat spirit's head, mixed it with immortal energy, refined it into a special aura, and spread it down the mountain.
Mortals cannot detect this kind of aura, but evil spirits can smell it.
This is a warning to those demons who want to take advantage of the chaos and commit bloodthirsty crimes: This place is carefully guarded by gods.
As expected, many evil spirits that came here with resentment and distracting thoughts, after sensing that special breath, immediately took a detour and left.
There was a powerful corpse demon who was stubborn and refused to believe in evil. He took advantage of the cover of night and appeared in people's homes.
But before it could eat any mortal, it was swept away by Li Yuan's sleeve.
The mountain god of Liangshan gave him the right to watch over the mountain, and the will of the Liangshan area would naturally respond to Li Yuan's thoughts.
In less than half a minute, the powerful corpse demon was crippled by Li Yuan, who deliberately burned it into ashes with fairy fire in front of some evil spirits.
It can be considered as a liberation for a life that was burdened with the bad consequences of karma.
Li Yuan was kind to mortals and spirit beasts, but he had no good feelings towards these bloodthirsty monsters.
At this point, the demons and evil spirits completely gave up and fled, not daring to cause trouble.
And Li Yuan also returned to his ordinary life.
He sat in the bamboo forest every day, drinking tea leisurely, quite otherworldly.
Occasionally, there would be mortals who came to worship the gods and stroll around the bamboo forest, but they had never walked in.
Bamboo leaves fall and the breeze dances.
Li Yuan sat alone in the bamboo forest, as if isolated from the world, and fell into a certain state of mind.
In such silence, he began to repeatedly reflect on his own Tao.
He traveled here through time and space and endured a thousand years of loneliness. Later, by chance, he was granted the title of god.
In the more than one hundred years of serving God, have you ever done anything wrong?
Li Yuan lowered his eyes slightly, and after a long time, he smiled at himself.
If you think about it carefully, almost every step was wrong.
From the day when the golden paper and jade order was incomplete, he became a heretic and walked outside the group of immortals and gods.
To be able to get to this day is already considered a great blessing.
Sometimes he couldn't help thinking: If he were to be deified, with all the gold, paper and jade orders in place, he would be granted complete divinity by heaven.
Know all the rules and taboos.
Will he... still be the same as he is now?
I think it shouldn’t be.
Li Yuan sipped his tea, looked down at his blue shirt, and pondered for a long time.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Yuan put aside these distracting thoughts.
He knew that he was never qualified to be a god.
Because he always regards himself as a human being.
Ordinary, flesh and blood.
But Li Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
There are countless heartless gods in the world, and there are also endless immortals with lust.
Could it be that there is no room for an immortal god like him who has a strong sense of mortal nature?
Li Yuan suddenly recalled the gods of Tianyun Mountain and Wuchen Mountain, as well as other immortal gods who had fought with him.
In the eyes of those immortals and gods, seeking incense and herding all living beings... is the general trend.
Even if all living beings are stained with blood and all living beings suffer.
As long as the incense of immortals and gods is strong, it will be a good situation.
However, Li Yuan could not accept this so-called "trend".
When he saw innocent lives suffering, he couldn't help but want to intervene.
Therefore, he is disliked, rejected and hated by many immortals and gods.
If it weren't for the restrictions of the heavenly rules, Li Yuan believed that immortals and gods would have come down to earth to kill him long ago.
Especially after the incident of beheading the immortal, the attitudes of many immortals and gods were secretly changing.
but......
Li Yuan has made up his mind.
If the "general trend" shuts him out...
Then, cut it open with the sword!
Li Yuan took out the Fushang Sword, gently stroked the dark blade, and completely calmed his mind.
What he seeks is never complicated, just peace of mind.
This is my true nature. I don't want to integrate into the so-called trend.
Li Yuan dispelled these messy thoughts, took a deep breath and continued drinking tea.
The bamboo forest is quiet and the environment is beautiful.
A moment later, a gentle figure walked along the bamboo forest path and accidentally entered the forest.
"I went up the mountain to worship the gods, and seeing the beautiful scenery in the mountain, I just walked around casually."
"If I have disturbed your peace, I will apologize to you."
A mortal woman slowly walked into the bamboo forest and bowed stiffly to Li Yuan.
She should be in her twenties, extremely beautiful, with small and delicate features and a gentle temperament.
Especially those eyes, pure and clear, rippling like water, like colored glass.
The woman's hair accessories are simply embellished, yet exquisite; she wears a light blue long skirt, and her figure is slender and soft, like the slender branches of a weeping willow.
Li Yuan nodded slightly without saying much.
But he put away the Fushang Sword without saying a word.
The sword is filled with murderous aura, so as not to hurt innocent people.
The woman paused for a moment in the bamboo forest. Her every move was elegant and quiet, exuding the breath of classical beauty.
"I have seen this bamboo forest before, but this is my first time here."
“I never thought that there was such an open space deep in the bamboo forest.”
“It’s quiet and beautiful, and it makes people feel peaceful.”
A gentle breeze blows by.
The woman raised her eyes slightly, looked at the flying bamboo leaves, and was slightly distracted.
Her voice was very low, as if she was talking to Li Yuan, but also as if she was talking to herself.
After a while, faint cries of someone looking for someone were heard outside the bamboo forest.
“Miss…Miss!”
"Where are you, miss?"
The shouts of maids and servants were heard.
The woman was slightly startled and bowed apologetically towards Li Yuan in the middle of the bamboo forest.
"I'm really sorry for disturbing your peace."
She was a little embarrassed and her cheeks turned red.
Li Yuan waved his hand slightly to indicate that it was okay.
The woman smiled apologetically and turned away.
Her steps were light and graceful, and her skirt fluttered like blooming petals.
After the woman left, Li Yuan calculated the time, rested for a while again, stood up, turned around and disappeared into the bamboo forest.
After all, you are repaying a favor, so you should be more serious about it.
At this time, he had to use the spiritual spring water to water the spiritual ginseng grown by the mountain god of Liangshan.
The setting sun gradually dyes the sky.
When night fell, Li Yuan strolled in the mountains and finished everything he needed to do for the day.
He just gave some pointers to a few spirit beasts and started preaching, and brought a spirit beast that was about to go astray back on the right track.
After finishing his work, Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the top of Liangshan Mountain, looking at the bright moon for the whole night.
The next day, the sun gradually rose.
Li Yuan checked various places in Liangshan, and when he found nothing to do, he went to the bamboo forest next to the main peak.
He discovered that Lao Deng, the mountain god of Liangshan, had quite good aesthetic taste.
The scenery in that bamboo forest is very beautiful.
A bamboo forest, a piece of open space; a stone table, two stone benches. Simple yet seemingly containing some truth.
Looking up, you can see the boundless sky; looking down, you can see everything in the mountains.
It can make people feel peaceful and calm.
Half a year later, Li Yuan had become accustomed to the tranquility in the bamboo forest.
Every day, he would come here to listen to the voices of mortals and pass the time, just like the mountain god of Liangshan in the past.
Occasionally, he would take action to fulfill the wishes of some kind-hearted people.
The days of watching the mountains are very peaceful and quiet.
