I'll Quit Being a God

Chapter 243: Discussion of Demons in the Bamboo Pavilion

After an entire night of talking and drinking, each person and wolf consumed the "last pot of peach blossom wine."

Now that Xiao Ai has served fragrant tea, the horizon gradually turns a pale white.

The morning sunlight gently falls between the mountains and shines directly on the two people inside the pavilion.

Lu Heng smiled and said, "Let's finish this pot together. Please, my friend, have a taste of the fragrant Eastern Sea tea."

Jiu Mie raised his teacup, took a sip, and looked a little surprised.

"Is this tea also a specialty of Hanyu Mountain?"

Lu Heng shook his head and said, "No, no. This tea comes from the coast of the Eastern Sea and is grown on a cliff that stands tens of thousands of feet tall. There is only one mother tree that endures the wind, rain, and sea breeze day and night. The tea leaves are produced every three years, with only half a pound per harvest. It is truly an extremely rare and expensive treasure."

"For a poor and desolate little mountain like my Hanyu Mountain, if we don't receive gifts from the wealthy, we definitely couldn't afford to drink tea like this."

Lu Heng's story made Jiu Mie smile.

"So this tea is the legendary Thousand Needle Snow? Then I really hit the jackpot this time."

"Based on the taste of this sip alone, it is worth at least ten gold coins," said the old ascetic cultivator.

Jiu Mie laughed loudly and Lu Heng also smiled as he poured him another cup and said.

"That Thousand Needle City's Wuzhu is a wonderful person. Every year on the Double Ninth Festival, he would send a gift to our mountain. I owe them a great debt of gratitude...I'll have to go out of my way to repay him in the future, I wonder if it will bring good or bad?"

Jiu Mie burst into laughter upon hearing Lu Heng's sigh.

"Wow...my friend, you're really digging a pit for me to jump into," said the old ascetic cultivator.

"If my friend speaks in this way, I fear that after drinking these glasses of Thousand Needle Snow from Master Gongshu Jie today, I will have to go out of my way to help him in the future," said the old ascetic cultivator.

Lu Heng smiled and said, "It's all up to your willingness. If my friend is not willing, it's not appropriate for outsiders to interfere, isn't that right?"

Jiu Mie shook his head and laughed, looking at the clear and elegant tea in front of him. After thinking for a moment, he took another sip and said.

"I have heard of the Wuzhu of Thousand Needle City," said the old ascetic cultivator. "It is said that they have an unwavering personality, hate evil, and possess superior cultivation. He is known as the number one Wuzhu in Fire Pass Country."

"His cultivation level is second only to Emperor Yan and Lianshan Jing, in recent years, he has implemented reforms in Thousand Needle City that benefit the people, but he also exterminated many old clans. It almost caused a rebellion three years ago."

"At that time, many elders of various clans gathered in the capital to demand an explanation. If it weren't for the rampant evil of the monsters in the Green Hell Cave, and the increasingly fierce conflict between witches and monsters, with Fire Pass Country busy hunting and killing monsters, this matter would probably not be easily resolved..."

As he spoke, Jiu Mie cast a sideways glance at Lu Heng and said, "Could it be that the reforms promoted by this wuzhu have something to do with you, my friend?"

With a helpless sigh, Lu Heng recounted what Gongshu Jie and he had discussed in the mountains and then took the initiative to carry out a reform after returning.

After Lu Heng finished speaking, Jiu Mie burst into laughter, feeling somewhat pleased with schadenfreude.

"Hahaha... so that's how it is. So that's how it is."

"My friend is tricking others while at the same time getting himself into trouble... Haha... With the character of Wuzhu Gongshu and his emphasis on reforms, he will surely push them to the end with all his might."

"Although with his cultivation method, he is unlikely to die, even if the whole country comes to resent him. But troubles in the future will definitely not be small... Hmm... Since I have drank a few cups of Thousand Needle Snow, I can't really stay out of it if he gets into trouble someday."

Jiu Mie laughed and said, "Compared to the future of Gongshu Jie, there are actually more thorny things happening in the Fire Pass Country right now... I wonder what my friend thinks about it?"

Jiu Mie casually asked without thinking.

Lu Heng smiled and said, "Are you referring to the wizard-demon war inside the Fire Pass Country, my friend?"

Jiu Mie sighed and said, "Five years ago, the demonic and evil nature of the Green Hell Cave was first revealed to the world when the demons in the Fu Shan City began to act abnormally."

"Five years later, these demons that hide in the darkness have already killed countless people and wreaked havoc on the world. The number of wizards and civilians who died at their hands is beyond count."

"Their dispute is so fierce. If it weren't for a friend sitting in Hanyu Mountain, the peace within a radius of thousands of miles would be hard to maintain."

"If you leave Hanyu Mountain and step into the cities and wilderness, you will see all kinds of miserable situations left behind by the demon's ravage... Sigh... As an old ascetic cultivator who has traveled the world, no matter how many times I've seen such misery, I still couldn't bear to witness it."

The old ascetic monk sighed with emotion, his expression full of sorrow.

Lu Heng then added water to the old ascetic cultivator's tea, and smiled faintly, saying, "My dear friend, are you thinking of getting involved?"

Jiu Mie lifted his tea cup, took a sip, and smiled. "I'm afraid that my strength may fall short of my ambition," he said.

Lu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "So what?"

"Thus, eight or nine out of ten things in this world may not go as one wishes," Jiu Mie sighed and continued, "Though the demon in the Green Hell Cave has been ravaging, it is hidden deeply. Even in the current intense fight between the wizards and the demons, no one knows its whereabouts."

"If we take action hastily, we may end up alerting the serpent in the grass and achieve the opposite effect. The most evil may escape and be impossible for us to hunt down and eliminate again. From then on, we may never be able to eradicate evil together and will be separated by the vast South Sea."

"If the demons move to a new place to gather and cause trouble, wouldn't our efforts be in vain?"

Jiu Mie sighed and said, "If we don't eliminate the main culprit, killing the small demons and evil creatures won't solve the problem completely. It's like scratching an itchy spot in shoes which is useless and won't cure the root of the problem."

"If we eliminate the main culprit, the small demons and evil creatures will scatter like birds and beasts, and this matter can be considered closed."

The old ascetic cultivator sighed with emotion, while Lu Heng smiled and said, "What my friend said is the language of a Buddha's heart, but Lu Heng has a slightly different opinion."

"As far as I'm concerned, the main culprit should indeed be put to death, but the vast number of small demons and evil creatures should not be spared either. If there is a chance, capturing them all and eradicating them completely is a permanent solution."

Lu Heng smiled and said a very murderous sentence.

Jiu Mie laughed heartily, not taking it seriously and said, "Indeed, it's the style of the Thunder Path... Haha..."

"It's a pity that now the demon is hiding and exposing no tail. Whether it's just killing the main culprit or killing them all... we can only stare blankly and do nothing. Hahaha..."

Lu Heng also laughed and said, "Since the demon in Green Hell Cave has already caused trouble in the region, can it still conceal its tracks? Can they hide for one day, ten days, or even a hundred or a thousand days?"

"As the Fire Pass Country's sorcerers continue to intensify their pressure, it will become increasingly difficult for them to hide. Facing the wizards' hunting, this group of demons and evil creatures will inevitably reveal their true colors someday."

"By then, Lu Heng will look forward to your outstanding performance. The name of the old monk Jiu Mie will surely resound throughout the world again."

Lu Heng said with a smile.

Beneath the bamboo pavilion, the old monk smiled as he raised his tea cup and spoke, "At that time, the name of the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain will once again resound through the mountains...hahaha..."
