Cheng Yu suddenly heard a childish voice behind him.
He tilted his head slightly and did not turn around in a hurry.
At this moment, Cheng Yu inexplicably remembered a saying circulated in his previous life: When walking at night and encountering someone on your shoulder, never look back.
At this time, everything in this place is strange. Who knows whether the person who suddenly appears behind you is an enemy or a friend, a human or a ghost.
Cheng Yu secretly took a deep breath, took a step aside, and then slowly turned around.
It was only because he was mentally prepared that he could stabilize his body without being frightened.
A monster with a golden body and a height of one person stood five steps away from him in human form.
It looks like a toad with a tail, and also looks like a huge gecko.
What's even more surprising is that the monster is raising its two small front paws at this moment, and Cheng Yu cupped his hands to salute.
Cheng Yu was calm on the surface, but in his heart he was like a small boat bumping in the stormy waves. From the corner of his eye, he observed that there was nothing else in the palace except this golden monster.
There is no fire on the head of this thing, and it is also a spirit body...
"Benefactor."
The golden monster opened its mouth and uttered the word "benefactor" again, and the corners of its big mouth that was split to the cheek were raised upwards, as if it was smiling, but in Cheng Yu's eyes, it looked like it was opening its mouth to eat someone.
What to do?
This guy seems to be quite polite to me, but why does he keep calling me my benefactor?
The more strange it is, the less timid it is.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yu forcibly calmed his mind, hugged his right hand with his left hand, and bent slightly to return the other person's courtesy, just like the Confucian scholar in his memory.
Then he wrote lightly: "Easy to say."
After finishing speaking, I did not forget to pay attention to the old Taoist master and apprentice next to me again. Huo Yazi's broken sword was still pointing at the dragon head on the ground, and he was not aware of the golden monster.
‘It seems that the other side is also a soul or something invisible to mortals.’
Seeing that the other party was just standing there respectfully, Cheng Yu calmed down for a moment, and after some deliberation, he smiled slightly and asked, "I don't know your name..."
When the golden monster saw Cheng Yu asking, he quickly bowed again and respectfully replied:
"My benefactor, I am the mountain god of Qingluo Mountain here. My surname is Yuan, and I am listed by my single name. This place was originally my clay temple."
"Oh? That's it."
Cheng Yu said calmly as if he suddenly understood, but in fact his heart was in turmoil.
Mountain gods, clay temples, a spirit that speaks human words, and this spirit has a name!
It is indeed a world of gods and monsters.
Although Cheng Yu was shocked, he also knew that what he said could lead to many mistakes. After finishing speaking, he just looked at the opposite person and smiled without saying a word.
The golden monster named Yuan Deng opposite suddenly looked worried and continued:
"To be honest with my benefactor, Yuan is a different species of golden salamander in Yanxi Cave on Qingluo Mountain. When he was more than 120 years old, he was enlightened by a wandering immortal who opened his spiritual wisdom and was fortunately given the name Yuan.
After ascending, it took a hundred years to transform into horizontal bones, a hundred years to condense the golden elixir, and another hundred years to transform into a child's body."
While listening to what the other person said, Cheng Yu secretly calculated in his heart, one hundred, two hundred, three hundred...
The guy opposite is a golden giant salamander that has lived for more than four hundred years!
Seeing that Cheng Yu was silent, Yuan Deng continued to preach:
"That day when Immortal Yunyou enlightened me, he had already warned Yuan that he must do more good deeds in the future and not have evil thoughts. Therefore, during these more than three hundred years, although Yuan could not say that he did one good deed every day, he did it anyway.
Having done some good deeds, Tian was regarded as a mountain god by the villagers at the foot of the mountain, enjoying endless incense at all times. As long as he received incense from others, he would be safe, but..."
Yuan Deng said this slowly, and the corners of his raised mouth gradually lowered, revealing a slightly sad expression. Cheng Yu, who was just listening to a book, knew that he had just reached the key point.
Sure enough, the golden salamander gradually accelerated its speech speed and continued:
"It's just that my Yanxi Cave is connected to a big river in this state, called Longxiang River, also known as Longxiang River, because there used to be a giant snake walking around here at the bend of the river. After being seen by the world,
, the name came from word of mouth.
I got acquainted with this Jiao before I opened my spiritual wisdom. At that time, he had not yet walked away from the Jiao, but was still in the body of a python, so we can be considered an irreplaceable friend.
Later, Immortal Yunyou enlightened me and opened my spiritual wisdom, so I realized the water system and practiced cultivation together with this evil dragon."
When Yuan Deng said this, he frowned more and more and continued:
"I just regret that I was young and ignorant at that time, and I didn't understand what it means to have the intention of harming others and the need to be on guard against others. I also regret that I was a little forgetful when I first took form, and let this animal know that the rare gold condensed in my body was
Dan, he secretly had evil intentions and planned patiently. Finally, he planned a sneak attack on me a few years ago, destroyed my true form, and took my golden elixir in order to refine it and help him transform into a dragon.
He also deceived the village head and the villagers, who had mortal eyes, and used tricks to deceive them and others. He warned the village elder that I had been deprived of my incense and that he would come here to take over. He ordered the village head to smash my golden body, mold his clay body, and seize it.
As the mountain god, I enjoy the fragrance of the four seasons.
However, this Liao was too greedy and enjoyed the incense of the villagers, but did not protect them. Instead, he allowed his clone to absorb the blessed water vapor in this place, leaving no water in the village. If Yuan hadn't squeezed out the last bit of incense and concentrated his power to protect it,
Looking at the fields in the village, Qingluo Village may have been starved to death and completely desolate."
Only then did Cheng Yu understand why there was no water in Qingluo Village, but the fields did not stop harvesting.
I saw that the big golden face of the golden monster opposite me was turning red at this moment. He thought he had been bullied for a long time, so he continued to say angrily:
"After this ruthless man destroyed my true form, he even placed my golden elixir in his new clay body. He attached the soul to the clay body and refined it day and night. In a few years, I was as big as a goose egg.
The golden elixir is refined to the size of a pea.
However, after all, Yuan has hundreds of years of practice, so he will not be surrendered. He has tried to break through the mud tire air machine barrier several times, but he only managed to break through a crack and failed in the end. Seeing that only the last core of my golden elixir is left, if he is defeated.
He was so transformed that even this last ghost could not be saved.
Fortunately, I met my kindness and acted righteously. I was not afraid of the evil dragon, ignored the barriers it set, and went to dangerous places to help me break through the wall.
This gave Yuan the opportunity to draw out the last thunder technique that the immortal had passed down to me to save his life, kill the evil dragon's mud body, and also damaged its clone, and escaped."

Cheng Yu was in a trance when he heard this...
He only remembered that he landed on the shoulders of the statue, smelled a strange and mysterious fragrance, and felt dizzy in his head.
When I woke up later, the golden pill had already fallen into my stomach.
Then a thunder fell from the sky.
I originally thought I had swallowed something I shouldn't have...
It turns out that you caused that thunder, but you were too impatient, and you were almost killed along with me, Mr. Cheng.
Yuan Deng had bowed to the end at this time. Cheng Yu wanted to reach out to help him, but he really didn't want to touch the wet and slippery golden monster, so he had to say:
"There is no need to be polite. Since you have been a great demon for four hundred years, why don't you show me your body?"
"My true self has been destroyed, my demonic aura is gone, and I cannot maintain my human body. All I have left is this demonic soul..."
Yuan Deng sighed and continued:
"If my benefactor had been delayed for more than a month, I would not have been able to see Yuan."
Cheng Yu said calmly:
"It's a small thing, it's not worth mentioning, but since Mr. Yuan has already transformed into a human being, why not travel around the world and be willing to stay in this villa at the foot of the mountain and become a mountain god?"
When Yuan Deng heard that Cheng Yu said "Yuan Gong", his little eyes lit up, he bowed to the end and said:
"Don't dare, I am too shallow to be as free and easy as a great master like my benefactor. As for saying that Tian is the mountain god of this place, it is because he asked for a seal from the owner of this village when he transformed. He is also the current villager.
The great-grandfather of the Lord, so he is connected with Zhuangzi.
In addition, when the immortal enlightened Yuan, he also warned Yuan that there was a cause and effect waiting for me to resolve here, so he was willing to guard this place."
"Original high righteousness."
Cheng Yu sincerely bowed to Yuan Deng deeply
"Oh my benefactor, I'm so embarrassed. In fact, Yuan also has some curiosity in his heart. I don't know if I should tell him the right thing?"
Hmm?
Usually people who ask this question are not easy to deal with. Cheng Yu suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
But then I thought about it, the soldiers have come to cover up the water and the earth, and the matter has reached this point. If you really can't handle it, just throw out some ambiguous and obscure words to get over it.
So Cheng Yu said with a smile: "Please speak."
Yuan Deng stood up and said: "I don't dare to take it seriously. Yuan is just curious and doesn't know what my benefactor's cultivation level is?"
