Chapter 79: Fake Mountain God, Real Mountain Ghost [Please order first]

"Master Mountain Ghost...would you still like to be my guest?"

Liu Bai repeated, this was the first time he heard of this, and in the unofficial travel notes he bought, he only saw records of people being invited to be guests by the mountain god.

It is basically about a scholar who was sleeping at home, and then he dreamed of a sedan chair parked in front of his door, with the sound of gongs and drums, which was extremely lively.

The scholar got on a sedan chair in his sleep and went to the mountain god's temple for a banquet, but the mountain god sent him back.

However, this kind of scholar is usually extremely poor, and once he experiences such a thing, he will become a priest of a mountain temple.

He said that he had received instructions from the mountain god and that everything was God's will.

Later, some people concluded that there were not so many mountain god banquets. In fact, most of them were made up by poor scholars who could not make ends meet and just wanted to find a job for themselves.

But Hu Wei's family is not poor.

While Liu Bai was thinking about it, the house demon continued, "Yes, in fact, Hu Wei just came back and said that the mountain ghost was on the Xiaotian Mountain behind their Hu family. He called the two Hu family members to be his guests."

Liu Bai frowned after hearing this, "What's the difference between the mountain god and the mountain ghost you mentioned?"

The house demon raised its two front legs, as if scratching its head for a while, and then said: "Someone has invited the gods. The ones who have people burning incense every day are the mountain gods, and the ones who don't have people are the mountain ghosts."

When Liu Bai heard this, he finally understood.

The mountain ghost mentioned by the house monster is most likely a wild ghost from an obscene temple that wanders around at night.

There are many origins for this kind of thing. One is that the mountain spirit turned into a ghost and stole a trace of the incense of other gods, which gave it some divine power.

Or maybe they accidentally picked up a fragment of a fallen god's golden body and melted it into their own body.

Another possibility is that they are gods who have been knocked off their thrones and are wandering around in other places with their divine will almost dissipated. They can also be considered a type of night-wandering gods.

These three types are the mainstream, there are some others besides these, but they are very few in number and extremely rare.

I just don’t know what kind of mountain ghost the house demon is talking about?
Liu Bai thought, he must get Hu Wei's soul back no matter what. Besides... Hu Wei was invited to a banquet, so there was danger, but it was definitely not big.

It doesn’t matter if it’s big.

The main reason was that Liu Bai himself also wanted to go and see what the mountain ghost master’s banquet was like.

Moreover... Liu Bai looked at the house demon and asked, "Brother Hu's soul actually came back, and took the souls of two clansmen away. Where are the ancestors of the Hu family?"

"No reaction at all?"

“They.”

The otaku's voice sounded a little hesitant, as if he didn't dare to speak.

Liu Bai guessed that something was wrong, so he lowered his voice and urged, "Don't worry, just tell me. I won't tell anyone. This is a secret between us."

As soon as he heard the word "secret", the otaku was excited.

"Well...well, Yagyu, you agreed to keep it a secret."

"Now, apart from me, him, and him, few people actually know about this."

The house demon came closer and whispered, "Actually, the ancestors of the Hu family are all out now, and there's no one at home."

"All out? Where did they go?"

Liu Bai knew that the ancestors in this world really could bless him, but now, the house demon actually said that the ancestors of the Hu family had left... Could it be that the ancestors had other uses? !

The house demon whispered more and more quietly, "They went to the Zhao family ancestral hall."

"Zhao family?"

Liu Bai was puzzled. "The Zhao family of Mayor Zhao Jiu?"

"Ah."

"What are they doing at the Zhao Family Ancestral Hall?" Liu Bai asked.

When the house demon heard this question, he first looked towards the door to make sure that no one else was there, and then he said, "I only told you about this, Liu Sheng, please don't tell anyone else."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut."

The house demon didn't say anything, which made Liu Bai curious.

"The Hu family is the largest family in Huangliang Town. Hu Qian feels that Zhao Jiu is weak, so it's time for the mayor's throne to belong to the Hu family."

"what?"

Liu Bai was stunned, but he was not surprised that Hu Qian had such an idea.

After all, Hu Qian was right. The Hu family was now the largest family in Huangliang Town. First, there was Hu Wei, a ghost walker, and then there was a house demon. In the eyes of the Hu family, wasn't this the will of God?

What surprised Liu Bai was this method of "seizing power".

Do you want the ancestor to go to war? !
The ancestors of two families had a fight. After the fight, whoever wins gets the spoils?

"Hush, Liu Sheng, don't say that I told you this. I estimate that the result of this matter will be known before tonight."

"The Hu family has chosen the right thing to do. If we solve this problem before the evil breaks out, once Hu Qian becomes the mayor, the ancestors of the Hu family will become even more powerful."

Liu Bai had also read about this in books. In fact, the younger generation and the ancestors complement each other.

The stronger the ancestors are, the better they can take care of the descendants.

The stronger the younger generation is, the better their luck will be, and the stronger the ancestors will be accordingly.

"So, the ancestors of the Hu family stole the home of the ancestors of the Zhao family, and then the Hu family was robbed by the mountain ghost master?"

After Liu Bai finished speaking, the house demon took a long time to sort it out before saying, "Yes, that's the situation."

"That's why old man Hu Qian was so anxious."

Liu Bai thought about it and it seemed to be true, but Gang Hu Qian looked very panicked.

As for the dispute between the Hu and Zhao families, Liu Bai felt that there was no suspense.

The Zhao family does not have as many people as the Hu family, so their ancestors are also weaker.

But Liu Bai felt that no matter who became the mayor, it had nothing to do with him. His purpose here was simple, which was to bring back Hu Wei's soul.

Thinking of this, Liu Bai reached out and touched the head of the house demon, which was the corner of the stool.

"Don't worry, I'll bring Hu Wei and the others back right away."

"Okay." The otaku said and rolled forward, "Yagyu, you are so shameless, you actually touched my butt."

"Aha?"

Liu Bai looked at the house demon whose head and tail were exactly the same, "So you were talking to me with your butt just now?"

"..."

Out of the Hu Family Ancestral Hall.

Liu Bai then found the clan leader Hu Qian and asked him to find someone to lead the way. Everyone hesitated and didn't dare to step forward. Finally, it was Hu Wei's father who stepped forward.

If he doesn't take care of this matter, no one will.

Liu Bai followed him and walked to the back of Hujiaao. Along the way, they saw the "birthplace" of the house monster. However, the hole made by Zhang Cang's punch had now been patched up.

"Uncle Hu, has there ever been a mountain god on Xiaotian Mountain?"

"Xiaotian Mountain?" Father Hu thought for a moment and then said in an uncertain tone, "It seems that there was such a thing. I also heard from my grandfather's generation that our Huangliang Town was originally in our Hujiaao area."

"At that time, a mountain god was enshrined on Mount Oda."

"But later, as more and more people came, Huangliang Town had no choice but to move to its current location."

"Do you know where the mountain god temple of Xiaotian Mountain was at that time?" Liu Bai asked again.

"It's on that hill."

Father Hu stretched out his hand and pointed to the small hill in front of him. That was Xiaotian Mountain.

"Okay." Liu Bai used his spirit body to take a few looks, and vaguely he saw that there was indeed a cloud of gray-black mist on the hill.

It’s just that ordinary people like Mr. Hu who haven’t started a fire can’t see it.

"Uncle Hu, just stop here. I can go the rest of the way by myself."

"Okay, okay." Father Hu nodded repeatedly, "Mr. Liu, you should be careful too. If it really doesn't work, forget it. This may be Hu Wei's fate, alas."

"Ah."

Liu Bai didn't explain too much to him, because it was useless to explain.

After walking a few steps forward and leaving Hujia Village, Liu Bai lit the life fire.

Three life fires rose up, dispersing the evil spirits and monsters around. During this time, he also saw a few wandering souls, most of which were sticking to Hujia Village.

This time, the evil spirit was really noisy.
