I'll Quit Being a God

Chapter 61: Ancient Book

On the Boulevard, Gai Yin bowed and trembled.

Lu Heng had a gentle smile.

"The Wuzhu from Thousand Needle city… Did Gong Shu Jie send you here?" Lu Heng asked.

Gai Yin quickly responded, "Yes, Master Wuzhu sent me here."

"The Double Ninth Festival is approaching. Master Wuzhu originally wanted to come to Hanyu mountain to thank the Wolf God in person. But the Fire God Sacrifice is imminent, and the old clan in the city is somewhat restless. Master Wuzhu needs to stay in the city and has no time to leave, so he sent me here to offer a gift to Lord Wolf God."

With that, Gai Yin took out the gift he carried with him.

It was a yellowed and damaged ancient book, which was ordinary and tattered, without any special characteristics. If you left it on the street, I'm afraid no one would care.

However, Gai Yin was extremely respectful and carefully handed the tattered ancient book to Lu Heng, saying, "This book is an ancient book. Master Wuzhu found it inadvertently, but he couldn't read the content of this book. The book was blank."

"Master Wuzhu said that the Wolf God is knowledgeable and may be able to read this book, so he asked me to send it to you as a token of gratitude."

The narration of Gai Yin made Lu Heng understand the cause and effect.

But…

"This gift… I don't know what to say." Lu Heng asked curiously, "Why did he want to thank me?"

Lu Heng felt that he didn't seem to do anything worthy of Gong Shu Jie's gratitude, had he?

Gai Yin smiled and said, "The Wolf God, don't be modest. It is with your guidance that Master Wuzhu could suppress the old clan in the city and make it beneficial to the people. The whole city will remember the kindness of the Wolf God."

The reverence of Gai Yin comes from the heart.

Master Wuzhu is strong in power, but he is withdrawn and rebellious. In the past, he was often manipulated by those old clans who played with politics.

However, since he returned from the Hanyu mountain the last time, Master Wuzhu's successive measures and reforms have completely suppressed and defeated all the old clans. Before the group of old clans reacted, he already had the upper hand.

As Gong Shu Jie's confidant, Gai Yin sincerely respects the Wolf God who guided Master Wuzhu.

However, Lu Heng was completely stunned after listening to the reform measures that Gong Shu Jie did after he went back.

This… Gong Shu Jie really followed his words to carry out a reform, suppress the old clans, and benefit the people?

This guy is really…

After Lu Heng was silent for a while, he sighed wordlessly, "In that case, I'll accept this gift. But the story that he heard last time has a follow-up."

"You can listen to the story and repeat it to him for me," Lu Heng said. "I hope this story I share can enlighten him."

Lu Heng's words surprised Gai Yin. Knowing that the Wolf God was preaching again, he immediately respectfully stood up and said, "The Wolf God, I'm listening."

In the small wooden pavilion, Lu Heng sighed, as he told the story of Wei Yang's old age.

Lu Heng's tone was not fierce, but the content of the story made Gai Yin sweat. After hearing the ending of Wei Yang being dismembered, he was even more frightened and uneasy.

"Lord Wolf God…"

After Lu Heng's story, Gai Yin hurriedly said, "If it's like what you said, will Master Wuzhu also…"

Lu Heng shook his head and said, "You don't have to panic. Wei Yang in my story is in a different situation from Gong Shu Jie."

"Wei Yang, a mortal, will be like a rootless duckweed with nothing to rely on once the general trend falls."

"But Gong Shu Jie's cultivation base is profound, and he is in a different situation from Wei Yang. Even if he fails in the future, there is no danger of being killed."

"You just need to tell him the story you heard today and let him learn it in his heart."

After a pause, Lu Heng said again, "In addition, there is another sentence that you can tell him."

Gai Yin saluted hurriedly, "The Wolf God, please tell me."

Lu Heng said with a smile, "Don't be so generous. I just told a story. As for what the Thousand Needle city can become in the end, it's all your efforts, not mine."

"You go back and tell Gong Shu Jie that strength is stronger than anything… No matter how treacherous the tactics of those old clans are, as long as he remembers this sentence, he will be invincible."

Lu Heng smiled and said something, which made Gai Yin stand stunned for a while, and finally made a deep salute, devout and respectful.

"Gai Yin, on behalf of the Thousand Needle City, thank you for your guidance."

"Well, well, don't be polite," Lu Heng shook his head. "As I said, I'm just sharing a story. I know nothing about state affairs, and I don't know anything about politics. No matter what steps you take in the future, it's the result of your own effort. Don't thank me."

Lu Heng's words were not modest, because he really just told some historical stories without giving any guidance. As for the improvements and measures made by Gong Shu Jie, they are all through the effort of Gong Shu Jie himself. Even if Lu Heng is meritorious, he only gave Gong Shu Jie inspiration at most.

He doesn't want to be greedy.

He left the witch named Gai Yin to chat for a while, and then Gai Yin was about to leave.

After hearing the story told by Lu Heng, Gai Yin was extremely anxious. He just wanted to go back to Ten Thousand Needle City immediately and tell the story he heard today to Master Wuzhu.

As for staying here and disturbing the cultivation of Wolf God… Gai Yin definitely does not dare.

Seeing that he was determined to go, Lu Heng said, "If so, I won't ask you to stay. But if I let you return with empty hands, it may seem as if I'm too stingy…"

Lu Heng looked at the Wolf God Temple and said to the little girl in front of the hall, "Xiao Ai, go and get two pots of peach blossom wine."

After watching the little girl nod and disappear, Lu Heng smiled and said, "There are no rare things in my mountain, but the peach blossom wine tastes good. Now one is given to Gong Shu Jie, and the other to you. The gifts are simple. Please don't laugh at me."

Gai Yin hurriedly said, "How would I do that? Thank you very much."

The Wolf God is modest. He doesn't dare be rude. After Xiao Ai took out two pots of peach blossom wine, he smelled the faint and elegant aroma of the wine. Gai Yin understood that the peach blossom wine was not as simple a gift as the Wolf God said. It was a completely rare spirit wine!

Respectfully accepting the two pots of wine, Gai Yin said goodbye to Lu Heng and went down the mountain.

In the pavilion, Lu Heng watched Gai Yin leave, then lowered his head and focused on the light yellow scroll in his hand.

This book is very thick, and its material is different from ordinary paper. It is made of leather, but the paper doesn't feel like parchment.

After Lu Heng opened it, he saw a blank yellow page without any words.

He shook his head helplessly.

Sure enough, as he guessed, he could not read this ancient book.

Gong Shu Jie didn't know the details of Lu Heng. He thought Lu Heng was an ancient cultivator, so he sent him this book. But Lu Heng knew in his heart that he had been stuck in the first threshold of cultivation, [Opening the door of heaven] for a long time, and he was still a rookie in the way of cultivation.

If this ancient book really needs a great magic power to see the content, Lu Heng is obviously not up to the standard. But since it's delivered, Lu Heng will accept it. Maybe he can understand it later?

He collected the ancient books and said, "It's okay, Xiao Ai, you go back and… Huh?"

Lu Heng, who was just halfway through the conversation, suddenly noticed something and looked in the direction of the sword furnace outside the mountain.

He saw that the sword furnace, which had been silent for a long time, erupted in a blazing fire that rose straight to the sky.

The huge flame light made the heaven and earth pale in comparison.

The aura of thunder is terrifying and vast in the sky.

Just in a flash, the Heavenly Thunder Clouds over Hanyu mountain surged and were dispersed by a gust of strong Qi of fire and lighting.

In the Hanyu mountain, the wind roared and the fire was all over the sky.

At this moment, Lu Heng reached the peak of his physical uneasiness.

He faced the terrifying fire that reflected heaven and earth and felt the aura of thunder rising in the fire. Even he could not help but feel a shiver at this time.

Then Heavenly Thunder Sword… is finally forged?!

But such power is too exaggerated, isn't it?
