I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 333 Commission
"Since you are a mountain god, you should be responsive. How did you end up like this? I see your temple is in such a dilapidated state!" Yan Tiannan asked.

The mountain god sighed deeply, then spoke slowly.

"You two don't know, although I am a mountain god, my power is weak. This place is the border of three states, and it is usually in chaos. The mountains are poor and the waters are bad, and few people live here. It was okay in the early years, but then there was a thousand-year-old tree in this mountain. I don't know what opportunity it had, and it actually became a powerful force. This monster is extremely cunning. At first, it was tolerant and did not act. Later, when I didn't offer enough incense, it came out to harm people and practice evil magic. I fought it, but it suppressed me with two black coffins, preventing me from using my magic domain and notifying others. If you two hadn't come here today, I wouldn't be able to pull you here."

At this time, Yan Tiannan started talking about the price.

"Okay, okay, but this tree demon is powerful. Can you just tell me to deal with it without any evidence?"

The mountain god laughed heartily and said, "My dear friend, you are indeed a demon slayer. Slaying demons and eliminating evil is your job. What's wrong with you helping me?"

Yan Tiannan curled his lips and said, "The old man is quite calculating."

Li Ming also said: "Master Yan, I am a mountain god, how can I give you gold and silver from the mortal world?"

The mountain god laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Although I don't have gold or silver here, I know where to find it."

"Where is it?" Yan Tiannan asked hurriedly.

The mountain god continued, "Although I have been asleep for many years, as the local mountain god, I know everything within a hundred miles. Ten miles south of this mountain god temple, there is a half-dead willow tree. Beneath the tree is a box of gold. You can go and dig it out."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true." Facing Yan Tiannan's questioning, the mountain god just smiled.

Then he looked at Li Ming and said, "What does this young man need?"

Yan Tiannan said, "He's just a scholar, do you still want to involve him in this?"

The Mountain God shook his head and said, "No, no, this young man is full of spirit and energy, his blood is soaring to the sky, I'm afraid he has extraordinary skills. The tree demon is cunning and has a high level of cultivation. We need the combined strength of the two to deal with him!"

Yan Tiannan was shocked. Turning around and seeing Li Ming still looking frail, he couldn't help but ask, "What? Don't talk nonsense. He? A master?"

Li Ming also smiled faintly. He knew that although his method of restraining his energy was superb, it would be difficult to hide it in front of the God of Humanity, so he simply admitted it openly.

"Yes, I do have some skills. I can't say they are profound, but they are more than enough to protect myself."

Yan Tiannan finally realized what was happening and nodded, saying, "That's right, how could an ordinary scholar be so bold as to walk out alone? He must have something to rely on."

Li Ming then said, "I don't lack these wealth, but I lack a handy weapon. It's not a problem, but since we have to deal with this tree monster in the mountains, bare hands are bound to be limited. I wonder if you have any ideas?"

"Weapons?" The mountain god frowned and thought hard for a moment before stroking his beard and saying, "I can't remember the weapons you need, but I have some information. It's been so many years, and I don't know if it's still useful."

"Mountain God, you just need to come. As for whether you can find it or not, that all depends on your fate." Li Mingdao.

The mountain god nodded and said, "Not far from here, in Beiguo County, there's a family whose surname is probably Xia. Their ancestors specialized in forging divine weapons and sharp blades, but they grew tired of the fighting in the martial arts world and retired for many years. I wonder if they still have some of their skills left. Perhaps they still have a few ancestral weapons at home."

"You're joking, old man. Since they've retired from the world of martial arts, this skill might have been lost. Even if they did leave two, they'd be family heirlooms. Do they think they'd give it to me just because I ask for it?" Li Ming shook his head. "Of course, no one would give it to me, but I have a deep friendship with their ancestors. Here's a token of their love. Take it, and I'm sure you won't be disappointed!" The mountain god stroked his goatee with pride, and with a flip of his hand, a humble jade pendant appeared.

"If the descendants of the Xia family recognize this jade, they will also have a jade pendant exactly like it as proof. Alas, five hundred years have passed and the world has changed. I don't know what the old friend looks like now. If he is still there, please take care of him. If not, I can't do anything about it."

"But." At this moment Shan Shenhua changed his tone.

"This matter is dangerous. Here are two 'protective spells'. They were made by me when the incense was popular. I used the will of believers and my own divine power to make them. They are quite useful. I will give them to you as a token of my appreciation!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and two pieces of talisman paper fell into the hands of the two men, and Li Ming also had an extra jade pendant in his hand.

The mountain god then explained how to use the spell, then chuckled and said, "In that case, I will wait here for good news. Once you two have annihilated the tree monster, I will reward you handsomely!"

Then it turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared without a trace. If it weren't for the yellow talisman in his hand, Yan Tiannan and Li Ming would have thought it was all a dream.

At this moment, the rain outside the temple had stopped at some point.

The two looked at each other and stood up at the same time.

Li Ming looked at the mountain god's altar and saw that the statue above did look vaguely similar to the old man in his dream, with a white-haired dog accompanying the old man at his feet.

Yan Tiannan said, "Beiguo County isn't far away. Let's go take a look first."

At this time, Li Ming still had some doubts in his heart. He glanced at the nearby mountain god statue, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go first."

Just as he stepped out of the temple gate, Li Ming turned around and looked again. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but it seemed as if he saw a white-haired old man smiling at him.

But when the two disappeared at the end of the road, the white-haired mountain god in the divine realm looked up at the sky and said to himself: "Is this God's will?"

The mountain god looked into the distance, lost in thought.

Although Yan Tiannan said that he was going to Beiguo County, his body was very honest. He first went to find the willow tree according to the words of the mountain god, and then started digging on the spot with his broad sword.

"Don't tell me, that old man is not lying. This much gold must be worth at least a thousand taels."

Yan Tiannan was smiling after he and Li Ming dug up gold.

Li Ming clenched the jade pendant in his hand. The scene was chaotic that day and the black gold stick was naturally missing. Even if the stick was still with him, it was no longer very useful with his current cultivation level, so he needed to replace it with a decent weapon.

If what this mountain god said is true, why not give him a hand?

But this matter was strange, and Li Ming still had some doubts in his heart. He always felt that it was too coincidental and a bit strange. He had many questions to ask, but he had not left the mountain yet, and he was afraid that there were ears and eyes of this god, so he could not speak.

When they were near Beiguo County, Li Ming finally asked, "Master Yan, what did the mountain god mean when he said we should slay the demon?"
