Chapter 499 Everyone, do you want to make progress?
Anshan.
Halfway up the mountain, there is a bamboo forest.
The dense bamboo leaves block the sunlight, leaving a mottled starry sky on the ground, which is very beautiful.
The small table transformed and disappeared into smoke.
On the flat ground, more than a dozen cushions made of spiritual cloth appeared.
Li Yuan took the lead and slowly walked into the bamboo forest.
He extended his hand to invite the fifteen mountain gods to come into the bamboo forest for a chat.
The fifteen mountain gods were all quite respectful, and did not dare to do anything rash in front of the great god Anshan Li Yuan.
The two sides exchanged pleasantries and sat down together in the bamboo forest.
There were more than ten cushions, all filled up.
Li Yuan sat in the main seat, facing the exit of the bamboo forest path, with a gentle smile on his face.
He stretched out his hand and his magical power transformed into a teapot.
Spiritual water automatically flew out from the mountain spring and sank into the teapot.
Li Yuan pointed his finger again, and flames rose out of thin air.
After thinking about it, he took some Bodhi leaves from the air, waited for the spiritual water in the teapot to boil, and made a cup of Bodhi tea for each of the fifteen mountain gods.
The mountain gods were flattered and quickly stood up and bowed: "The Anshan Mountain God is a great god. How dare we, the little gods, ask you to pour tea for us..."
Li Yuan smiled without saying a word, and waved his hand to pass the teacups to them.
All fifteen mountain gods, regardless of their rank, bowed in unison and saluted towards Li Yuan before they dared to sit back on their cushions.
He lowered his eyes to look at the empty space in front of Li Yuan, and even worried that looking directly at Li Yuan would be some kind of offense.
"Everyone doesn't have to be so reserved..."
Li Yuan knew that since he didn't drink tea, these mountain gods wouldn't dare to drink it either, so he took the lead in picking up the teacup in front of him.
"I summoned you all here, not to start a new official's three major changes."
"More than that, I still want to chat with you and get to know each other."
Li Yuan spoke gently, easing the tension of the fifteen mountain gods.
Among the fifteen mountain gods, there are new and old ones, but those old mountain gods are not ignorant.
Having said that, if anyone really can't figure out the limits...
The existence of the great gods is not something that these little gods like them can afford to offend.
Especially since it was rumored that Li Yuan had killed Qian Shanjun not long ago, this news was even more frightening!
If the news is true, Li Yuan was promoted to Jade Envoy...the things behind it are even more terrifying!
The mountain gods were all in awe of Li Yuan's strength and background.
Therefore, they were all polite and respectful, saying some respectful words of congratulations.
Don't dare to speak nonsense at all.
Li Yuan was not in a hurry. After exchanging some polite words with them, he smiled gently.
"I wonder if you guys want to make progress?"
The fifteen mountain gods were all startled, and subconsciously understood the matter wrongly.
progress?
What progress can these mountain gods make other than their priesthood?
Could it be that he was testing whether they had ambitions and wanted to "report secretly" in order to compete for the position of Jade Envoy?
Among the seated mountain gods, several people exchanged glances with each other.
The mountain god of Xuanshan was hinted by several old friends, so he gritted his teeth and bowed to Li Yuan:
"Lord Anshan, what do you mean..."
"We are all gentle and obedient people. Life is long and we are content to be free and unrestrained. Why would we think about making progress..."
Among the fifteen mountain gods, he was the only one who was slightly familiar with Li Yuan. At this moment, he had no choice but to stand up and respond to Li Yuan's questions.
Li Yuan smiled and was about to say something.
Outside the bamboo forest, there happened to be a clay doll running around the mountain and accidentally stumbled in.
The clay kid was holding a few spiritual medicine whiskers in his hand. I don't know which spiritual beast in the mountains turned a blind eye and let him get them while playing.
The other little hand was used to wipe the face, and the cloth clothes were also made dirty.
"Uh... ah..."
The clay boy was a little confused. He was stunned when he saw a dozen or so figures in the bamboo forest.
He ran all over the mountain. The first time he reached this side of the mountain, he saw a dense bamboo forest, very green, and ran in.
Why are there so many strangers here?
Also, the young man in the front looks so familiar...
The fifteen mountain gods all looked stern.
Not knowing if this was a test set by Li Yuan, he immediately straightened his back.
However, even Li Yuan was a little stunned. He blinked, smiled, stood up, and looked at the clay doll.
"Kid, whose child are you?"
He approached with a smile.
The clay boy wiped his face with his sleeve and stepped back cautiously: "I... I am the son of the Ma family on the third street in the east city..."
As he spoke, the clay boy hid the elixir in his hand behind his back.
The adults in Anyue Capital have all said that children can play as they please, but they are not allowed to touch the magical herbs on the mountain, as they are the "fields" planted by the Mountain God!
Otherwise, you will get a spanking when you get home.
The clay boy was standing in the mountain of the mountain god. He was not afraid that Li Yuan in front of him was a bad person, but he was afraid that Li Yuan would go to his family to complain!
Li Yuan couldn't help laughing when he saw his simple appearance, and stroked the child's head.
"Today, I invited my friends to have tea in the bamboo forest."
"Give me a favor and come here to play again next time, okay?"
Seeing Li Yuan treating a mortal child so kindly, the fifteen mountain gods sat up straight and even showed kind faces.
They were guessing what Li Yuan meant by this...
Edge of bamboo forest.
Li Yuan had already walked out of the path with the clay doll.
He thought about it, smiled, and took out a small thing from his pocket, which was a copper coin bracelet.
"I give you this bracelet as a gift for our first meeting."
He rubbed the clay doll's head and coaxed it away.
The clay kid who loved running around in the mountains was still a little confused when he came out of the bamboo forest. He felt that Li Yuan's face was very familiar, but for a moment he was a little...
"Mountain... Mountain God?"
"Master Mountain God!"
The clay boy realized it later and looked back at the bamboo forest, but he didn't dare to go back without permission.
With a look of awe on his face, he kowtowed several times on the ground, then quickly ran back home.
When he returned home this time, his parents found out that he had gone up the mountain to pull up a few roots of elixirs, and they were so angry that they beat him with a stick.
When I heard that my child had accidentally met the mountain god and received a "reward", I was filled with joy and awe.
In the next few days, I took my child to the mountain to burn incense several times.
The copper coin bracelet, which was slightly endowed with immortal power and could nourish the body, was also regarded as a family heirloom and passed down from generation to generation...
And in the bamboo forest.
Li Yuan returned to the cushion.
Seeing the fifteen mountain gods racking their brains in deep thought, I couldn't help but find it funny.
"Do you think that I arranged that kid?"
Li Yuan was a little overwhelmed, but he maintained a polite smile.
No one dared to speak. Even the mountain god of Xuanshan sat there somewhat stiffly, still lost in thought.
Li Yuan laughed so hard that he shook his head and took a sip of tea.
"You guys just think too much!"
He pointed at the fifteen mountain gods, feeling both amused and helpless.
"With my great god's power, why would I play tricks on you?"
"If I have any dissatisfaction with you, why would I resort to such subtle tricks?"
Li Yuan sighed with a smile.
"This mountain is the mountain of heaven and earth, the mountain of all spirits. I will not restrict the areas within the mountain, and allow the people to come and go as they please."
"Someone accidentally came to where I am. It was a coincidence... but it was also inevitable."
"Everyone, don't think too much!"
He looked at the fifteen mountain gods who were still reserved and smiled helplessly.
"If we talk about other things, I'm afraid you won't dare to say a word."
"Let me ask you one question: Do you want to make progress?"
