After the divorce, I became a mountain god

It is common sense that animals are afraid of fire.

After being reminded by Xiao Linzi, everyone came back to their senses. The other little people immediately followed suit, using fire sticks and torches to drive away these terrible giant mosquitoes.

All animals are afraid of fire, and these mosquitoes are no exception. Soon, the giant mosquitoes fled in all directions under the light of the fire and eventually disappeared into the vast mountains in the distance.

Xu Boan was quite surprised to see this.

This little Linzi is really smart. He actually thought of using fire to scare away these giant mosquitoes.

Great! The mosquito has escaped.

No, to be honest, although they suffered casualties, they did win the battle and repelled those mosquitoes!
Unlike Yan Shouyi and his men, who were completely powerless to resist and had to flee in panic.

However, Xu Boan also knew that Yan Shouyi and others were ambushed late at night, so they were unlucky, otherwise, they might not have suffered such a tragic fate.

But to be realistic, luck is actually part of strength, right!
Seeing the mosquitoes flying away, Xu Boan did not hesitate this time. He immediately focused his attention on the group of mosquitoes and followed them.

Wait until the group of mosquitoes escaped to an uninhabited forest.

Xu Boan no longer hesitated, raised his hand and slapped the group of mosquitoes.

For a moment, two huge palms covered the group of fleeing mosquitoes. The mosquitoes felt the change in air flow and tried to avoid it, but it was too late.

Xu Boan took a solid shot!
After observing that none of the mosquitoes could escape, Xu Boan returned to the dilapidated mountain temple where Yan Shouyi and the others were.

……

What Xu Boan didn't know was that after he left, the goshawk appeared again in the sky.

This time the goshawk did not come alone. On its back, there was a short strange man wearing a black robe.

After a while, the goshawk landed and the short man in black walked down.

He was wearing a black robe, the fabric seemed to absorb the surrounding light, making his figure even more blurred in the dimness.

There was a very strange dark pattern embroidered on the black robe, which seemed to be the deepest stars in the night sky, dotted around, and seemed to have some kind of pattern that made it hard to grasp.

His face was hidden under the wide hood, revealing only half of his pale and somewhat distorted face. There was a meaningful sneer on the corner of his mouth, as if he could spit out ice-cold words at any time.

Those eyes were deep and dark, like a bottomless abyss, flashing with calculation and cruelty, making people feel as if their souls were firmly locked in them at a glance.

The strange man in black was holding a flute-like instrument carved with strange patterns. The flute gave off a faint chill that seemed to be able to freeze people's hearts. When people looked at it, it left a series of heart-pounding shadows.

Seeing the person coming down from the sacred eagle, the Sixth Master hurried to meet him!

The Sixth Master changed his dignified expression and said respectfully with a polite tone, "Thank you, Master! You are here!"

The strange man in black waved his hands and said, "No need to be polite. I want to ask you, where are those giant mosquitoes?"

"It ran in that direction!" The Sixth Boss pointed in the direction where the mosquito escaped!
The black-clothed weirdo raised his voice a lot, and said in a sharp voice: "What? Ran away? What are you doing? Have you forgotten what your mission is here?"

The Sixth Master forced out an awkward smile and explained, "I haven't forgotten. Our mission is to find the giant mosquito! But..."

Before the Sixth Master could finish his words, he was interrupted rudely by Master Xie: "What but? There is no but! You clearly came here to look for mosquitoes, but now you let those mosquitoes run away. What crime should you be punished for?"

Seeing the Sixth Master being humiliated, Xiao Linzi at the side could not bear it any longer. He spoke up and explained weakly, "Master Xie, there are too many mosquitoes. We really can't stop them. If we continue to pester them, we will all die."

Master Xie glared at Xiao Linzi and said unhappily, "Do you have the right to speak here? Who do you think you are? Do you know the rules?"

The Sixth Master hurriedly explained: "Master Xie, please don't be angry. It's not worth it. By the way, Master Xie, didn't you say your divine eagle was here to protect us? Why did it run away?"

Master Xie snorted coldly and said, "Nonsense, how dare you say that? With so many giant mosquitoes, no matter how powerful my treasure is, it can't defeat a hundred of them alone! Fortunately, he is smart and knows to go back to me first to report the news. Otherwise, if he really came down stupidly, wouldn't he be the same as you losers and unable to escape the bad fate!"

The Sixth Master smiled and said, "Yes, Master Xie, think about it, even such a powerful divine eagle can't do anything to deal with those giant mosquitoes and can only retreat. How can we, the people, stay with those mosquitoes?"

Master Xie said in a cold tone: "Humph, this is also because your intelligence was wrong! We agreed to only one mosquito, how come so many mosquitoes came out!"

"This..." The Sixth Boss was stunned and glanced at Xiao Linzi subconsciously, but finally said nothing.

Master Xie said impatiently: "What's this? Humph, I tell you, you have delayed the important matter of the village!"

"Ah! What's the big deal?" The Sixth Boss said with a puzzled look on his face.

I thought to myself, after all, I am the sixth in command of the village, how come I don’t know about the big deal you are talking about!
Master Xie snorted coldly and said, "The village originally planned to... Humph, forget it, this matter is still a secret and cannot be discussed."

When the Sixth Master heard this, a hint of displeasure flashed across his eyes.

Well, I, a member of the management, have become an outsider!
Master Xie was somewhat considerate of the Sixth Master's feelings. After a pause, he said, "Your First Master specifically told you not to talk nonsense about this matter. Since you have made no contributions but have worked hard, I can remind you."

The Sixth Master clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Master Xie, for your concern!"

Master Xie then said, "Do you know what species the giant mosquito you are talking about is?"

The Sixth Master shook his head and said, "Isn't it a bigger mosquito?"

Master Xie shook his head and explained, "I'm asking you this for no reason. If it was a mosquito, I would still ask you! That thing is very likely the legendary vampire!"

"Suck... vampire? What is this?" The Sixth Boss was stunned and had no idea what this thing was.

Master Xie explained proudly, “I have read in an ancient book before that there is a species called vampires in foreign lands. They have wings, are ugly, and have fur. It is said that they have a long lifespan and may even transform into human form after many years.

I always thought it was a story from a legend, but when I heard you talk about this so-called giant mosquito, it suddenly occurred to me that what you encountered was most likely the infancy of this kind of vampire!"

The Sixth Master and others listened to Master Xie's words in astonishment, and were suddenly at a loss.

Master Xie did not disturb them. He looked around and said kindly, "Hey, this monkey is good. It looks quite intelligent!"

"Hey, this little monkey is good, it looks quite smart!" Master Xie said, staring at the monkey standing next to Xiao Linzi. Xiao Linzi was suddenly flustered when he heard this, and said, "Master, that... that's my monkey."

As he spoke, Xiao Linzi gently shook his wrist towards the monkey and called out, "Hou Bao, come here, come here quickly."

The monkey seemed to understand what people were saying. It actually jumped towards Xiao Linzi's arm, and then climbed up to Xiao Linzi's neck and sat on it in a few seconds.

Xiao Linzi's original intention was to let people see that this monkey was brought up by him, so it was very obedient.

However, when Master Xie saw that the monkey was so sensible, the joy on his face became even more intense.

The more he looks at this monkey, the more he likes it!
When a beastmaster wants to train animals, he has to select the animals carefully. Not every animal or bird can be tamed and obey orders, just like not everyone is good at learning a certain skill.

This is what people call spirituality!
Often these more clever animals and birds can achieve twice the result with half the effort when tamed, and after being tamed, their execution capabilities are also stronger.

Therefore, when these animal tamers are taming animals and birds, they like to choose those spiritual animals and birds.

And now, this clever monkey is a rare monkey with spirituality and insight that Master Xie sees as a rare monkey that is rarely seen in a century.

Master Xie was very displeased when he saw that Xiao Linzi was stubborn and refused to give up the thing.

But his identity is there, and it is not easy to snatch it openly from the younger generation.

So, Master Xie slightly tilted his mouth and glanced at the Sixth Master.

The Sixth Master immediately understood what he meant and hurriedly shouted to Xiao Linzi, "You little bastard, what do you mean by yours and mine? Only those who are destined to have it can get it! Master Xie is so fond of this monkey, it's his good fortune! Don't be ungrateful, why don't you just give this monkey to Master Xie!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Linzi subconsciously took two steps back and said through gritted teeth: "This is my monkey! My father left it to me!"

"Oh? Is your father also a beastmaster?" Master Xie asked cautiously.

Beastmaster is a rare profession in this world, and everyone has his own trump card.

Generally speaking, people don't want to offend such a person.

That's why Master Xie asked this question, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Although some beastmasters may not be very powerful, they may have close ties with some people or forces that are not easy to mess with due to a series of relationships such as their teachers and opportunities.

So, it’s better to find out clearly.

After all, Xiao Linzi was still young and did not have much social experience. When he heard Master Xie's question, he simply shook his head and said matter-of-factly, "What is a beast tamer? My father is an acrobat, and he brought up this monkey."

"Acrobats?" Master Xie was startled, and then thought of the monkey performers on the streets during the Lantern Festival in the city.

Well, it seems that I was too cautious.

Beastmasters are so rare, how is it possible to meet one easily?
After finding out Xiao Linzi's hidden card, Master Xie became much bolder and said, "Ahem, so you are an acrobat! We are destined to be together. How about this, I'll give you this ingot of silver. It's considered that I bought your monkey. Is that all right?"

It is said to be a silver ingot, but this silver ingot does not look like a complete silver ingot.

It was only one-third of a silver ingot, which was about less than two taels.

"I... I won't sell it. This is what my father left me. I won't sell it!" Xiao Linzi shook his head and hurriedly expressed his opinion. His voice was choked with sobs and he was about to cry.

Master Xie obviously lost his patience. His face darkened and he said, "It's not up to you. The price of meat is only over 20 cents per pound. You are so skinny, you don't even have a few pounds of meat including the hair. The money I give you is already a high price. Don't be too greedy."

Xiao Linzi shouted, "I'm not greedy, I really don't want to sell it, I won't sell my monkey!"

Master Xie said condescendingly: "Okay, I will keep this monkey for you first. If you really like it, you should do it for its own good. You don't want it to follow you all the time and be a little monkey performing acrobatics on the street forever.

If it follows me, it will not only be able to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, but also be able to do great things! When it becomes successful in the future, you will also be proud of it!"

Master Xie was stroking his beard complacently while PUAing Xiao Linzi with a self-moved look.

This look is just like those so-called hermits who deceive people on the overpass!
"Divine Eagle, take it back!" Master Xie suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the little monkey.

The condor beside him received the order, suddenly spread its wings, and rushed towards the monkey.

I have to say that the speed of this sacred eagle is really fast. In the blink of an eye, it has flown to the upper side of Xiao Linzi, and suddenly stretched out its sharp claws to grab the monkey riding on Xiao Linzi's neck.

The claws of this goshawk are very thick and sharp, emitting a cold light that makes people's hair stand on end in an instant.

Before Xiao Linzi could react, he saw the sharp claws in front of him.

There was not even a chance to dodge.

A trace of sadness and deep anger flashed through Xiao Linzi's heart.

However, the little monkey's reaction ability was not weak. When the little monkey was about to be caught by the sharp claws, the little monkey suddenly jumped nimbly and jumped from Xiao Linzi to a stone nearby in an instant.

"Little monkey, you are so awesome!" Xiao Linzi shouted subconsciously. Before he could stop talking, he saw Master Xie's face full of anger, so Xiao Linzi fell silent.

……

When Xu Bo'an returned to the temple where Yan Shouyi was, the incense burning in the temple was almost finished.

Xu Bo'an was no longer anxious, so he prepared to tell Yan Shouyi the good news that the mosquitoes had been eliminated.

Before Xu Boan could speak, suddenly, a little bird flew in from the window!
"Messenger bird!" Yan Shouyi's face lit up with joy, and he took the letter from the leg of the messenger bird.

The bandits were too powerful, and the soldiers who were sent to suppress them failed and almost all of them died.

Although there were not many words, Yan Shouyi clearly understood it.

Looking at the team of about ten people who were still with him, Yan Shouyi thought absentmindedly: "What's going on? Could it be that this is a blessing in disguise for me?" (End of this chapter)
