Chapter 254: Crossing the Rivers and Lakes Again

The little boy's luggage was quickly packed.

Sun Yan helped him prepare some dry food and clothes. The not-so-big luggage was easy to carry, even for a young boy.

Of course, even after becoming a demon cultivator, Shen Wuyou was not really weak like a human child, despite his young appearance.

Even if given dozens of pounds of weight, he could still walk briskly under the burden.

It's just that demon cultivators don't need to carry a lot of essential items like ordinary people when they are traveling. Except for the little boy, Lu Heng and Xiao Ai were both cultivators who had opened the heaven door, fasted, and stayed away from the mundane world. They could go for a long time without eating or drinking anything.

As the little boy came out carrying his luggage, Sun Yan - covered in white fur - followed behind, also carrying a luggage of similar size.

The scene of a person and a monkey appearing in front of the Wolf God Temple startled Lu Heng slightly.

Then they were speechless and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I won't take you with me this time when I leave the mountain, so you don't need to pack your luggage," said Lu Heng to the eagerly anticipated white ape.

In that moment, the white ape was bewildered.

He widened his eyes and looked at Lu Heng, dressed in white, and then looked at Xiao Ai next to him, and was stunned for a moment.

And then he just collapsed on the ground.

"Ugh... Ancestor..." Sun Yan cried and called out while wiping away his tears.

However, Lu Heng laughed and said, "Stop howling, you monkey. You know very well that I can't take you with me when I leave this time, but you still want to try to sneak in. I am going down to exterminate evil and save people. What are you doing here? Going to deliver food to the evil demons? To offer them your monkey brain?"

"Behave and guard the Peach Garden with Fei Yi in the mountains, and wait for me to exterminate the evil demons and flatten the Green Hell Cave. Then I'll let you go down the mountain and travel... Well, the premise is that you cultivate hard and can open the heaven door and transform into a human."

Lu Heng smiled and made a promise, and Sun Yan had no choice but to stand up with a mournful face.

Sister Xiao Ai was glaring at him from the side, so he didn't dare to make a real mess and had to say meekly.

"Ancestor, Gu Yan... how come... he can... go..."

The white ape was very distressed.

His cultivation was similar to that of Gu Yan, and their strength was also comparable. Why could Gu Yan go down the mountain but he couldn't...

Lu Heng explained with a smile, "I am going to the Luwu Mountain on this trip, which is located on the coast of the East Sea and at the mouth of the Pang River. So, it is conveniently on my way to send Gu Yan back home to visit his family."

"It's been six years since he separated from his mother, it's time for him to go back and visit."

"Leaving you to guard the peach garden in the mountains is actually a good thing," Lu Heng said with a smile. "I just checked and found that two peaches on the tree are about to ripen, probably within these few days."

"When these two peaches ripen, you and the fat bird Fei Yi will each have one, which will be helpful for your cultivation and help you open the Heaven's Door as soon as possible."

As soon as Lu Heng said this, the White Ape's eyes brightened and he hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, ancestor! Thank you, ancestor!"

Gu Yan, who was previously proud of being able to leave the mountain, couldn't laugh anymore after hearing Lu Heng's words.

It looked at the White Ape, who was full of surprise, and then looked in the direction of the distant mountains and the Pang River. After hesitating for a long time, it finally hung its head and wasn't so happy anymore.

Although he wanted to go home to see his mother, those peaches were also very tempting...

Ah... It's so distressing...

While Gu Yan was in great turmoil, Sun Yan was overjoyed, and Lu Heng offered a reminder.

"Oh, by the way, after eating the peaches, remember to grind the peach pits into powder and feed it to the one below the ground."

Lu Heng's words left the young boy, Shen Wuyou, looking confused.

Below the ground... who?

There are still people underground at this Hanyu Mountain?

Sun Yan nodded repeatedly, and stuttered as he agreed, "Disciple... will follow... Master's orders... carefully."

He had done this several times already, so he was familiar with the routine.

Underneath Hanyu Mountain, there is a demonic creature imprisoned, which is known among the disciples of the mountain.

And that demonic creature, even after being tortured for five years by Heavenly Thunder, refused to yield or be tamed. Later on, when the peach fruit ripened, Lu Heng discovered that there was an aura inside the peach pits that could suppress evil demons.

So he tried grinding the peach pits into powder, and tossing it inside the Heavenly Thunder Prison. The effect was remarkable.

Even though there were formations that could block the sound, the wailing of the Moluo Evil Spirit could still be heard from the outside, and it was even more effective than Heavenly Thunder's torture.

Unfortunately, the peach fruit was not available every day and was extremely rare, so for conventional torture, they still relied on the Heavenly Thunder Prison.

Now, after five years, Heavenly Thunder's torture didn't seem to have overwhelmed the Moluo Evil Spirit. Thousands of days and nights of torment had not extinguished the evil demon's will to survive.

Lu Heng could only hope that the peach pit powder that was occasionally tossed into the Heavenly Thunder Prison would be the final straw to overpower the Moluo Evil Spirit.

Having given the instructions, Lu Heng led Xiao Ai, Gu Yan, and the anxious little boy, Shen Wuyou, and went down the mountain.

Dressed in white, Lu Heng smiled warmly as he strolled through the mountain paths, as if taking his family and children out for a leisurely excursion.

In Hanyu Mountain, a huge white wolf took a step out of the underground Divine Palace, and disappeared underground, immersed in the faint spiritual atmosphere of the Divine Palace.

Meanwhile, the white-clad Lu Heng in the mountain, even if it was just his spiritual body, was no longer something that ordinary people with magic eyes could use to see his physical state.

Without prior knowledge, even Jiu Mie himself would likely mistake Lu Heng's spiritual body for his physical body.

They arrived at the foot of Hanyu Mountain, boarded the bamboo raft that Xiao Ai had prepared early, and directly followed the river eastward.

Although the source of the Pang River is in the south, it changes direction at the Dragon Falling Mountains and flows towards the East Sea.

Therefore, Lu Heng and his group didn't need to travel south, but instead headed eastward directly towards the Luwu Mountain.

In the quiet mountain forest, bamboo rafts spread out on the water and shuttle through the mountains.

Inside the river, a school of fish is swimming around and there are flourishing water plants.

Watching the surging scene of these swimming fish, Lu Heng revealed a nostalgic smile, "It's been a long time since I had fish..."

His sudden exclamation made Xiao Ai's lips twitch. It reminded her of the scene six years ago when she came down from the mountain, where the Wolf God was eating fish in the back mountain...

"Um... If the Wolf God wants to eat fish, Xiao Ai can cook it for you later," Xiao Ai quickly offered, afraid that Lu Heng would eat the river fish in front of so many people.

That really undermines the majestic image of the Wolf God.

Lu Heng laughed heartily and said, "Alright, let's have fish for dinner. I have been in seclusion for so long that I may have forgotten the taste of Xiao Ai's cooking, which I really miss." historical

It was only after this promise that Xiao Ai breathed a sigh of relief.

And by this time, the bamboo raft had already flowed downstream and reached the edge of Hanyu Mountain.

Not far away is Shuisheng Village, while on both sides of the river bank are the camps of the Wind Strike Department.

The old priest with a cane stands on the riverbank, supported by a gentle figure, and from afar performs a courtesy to Lu Heng.

Lu Heng also gave a distant bow and said with a smile, "I‘m sorry to trouble you , please take care of the Hanyu Mountain for me."

The senior priest smiled slightly and said, "The Wolf God, please feel at ease in your journey eastward. With the Wind Strike Department present, the evil demons dare not act wantonly on Hanyu Mountain."
