Azure Files, the starting point of all miracles

In this way, their lives can be considered to have continued to some extent...

"Village Chief, I need to know what happened in this place before."

“I want to know all the information.”

"Whether it's a vague legend or a rumor full of uncertainty."

"I need to know everything that has to do with Daluo Mountain."

Hearing Xiyu's calm and firm words, the light in the old village chief's eyes became even brighter.

Perhaps Xiyu's existence is just a coincidence that is not even a hope for him.

But from this moment on, Xiyu's attitude made the old village chief willing to believe——

To believe in the person before you is to have hope that dispels the darkness that shrouds everyone’s heart!

Chapter 211: A Dead End That Cannot Be Completed

After obtaining enough information from the village chief of Daluo Village, Xiyu's next destination was Longyin Pond.

Longyin Pond is located on the hillside of Daluo Mountain. It is about 15 meters wide and 100 meters deep, with water flowing all year round.

It got its name because according to legend, the mountain god of Daluo Mountain is a giant dragon.

However, the dragon and the current god of Mount Daluo do not seem to be the same person.

From the information obtained from the old village chief, we can learn that there has long been a legend of mountain ghosts recorded in ancient books around Mount Daluo. The specific content is that the mountain ghosts of Mount Daluo will lure pedestrians into Mount Daluo and make people lost there.

And an unknown

Chapter 212: Information from the Mountain Ghost

Small temple to the mountain god - offerings completed.

Stone Forest Shrine - Offerings completed.

Along the way, Xiyu followed the ancient precepts with utmost sincerity, and recovered the past that had been forgotten or abandoned by people.

As the offering route became more and more perfect, even if Xiyu could not reach the other party, he could still feel the reviving power in the dark.

At the same time, mountain ghosts that attacked him began to appear one after another.

After all, whether it was touching Longyin Pond or lighting incense and candles as offerings, these actions endowed him with the protection of the mountain god.

Xiyu, who has the protection of the mountain god, is in the hands of the mountain ghost.

Chapter 213: Reaching the summit!

Although the teacher's lovely performance diluted the haze in everyone's hearts, some girls still did not smile from beginning to end.

For example, Hina from Gehenna.

Looking at the teacher on the screen, Hina's hands kept tightly gripping the teacup, and she had maintained this posture for a while.

Although Ako and Chinatsu were worried, they didn't know what to say for a while.

After all, they also understood why Hinata became like this.

There is no point in rejoicing over temporary victories.

This cannot change the fact that Xiyu is currently facing a dead end...

Chapter 214: Finally Stepping onto the Long Stairway to Godhood

"Huh...huh...huh..."

temporary……

Is it over...

Looking at the scene around him, Xiyu kept gasping for breath, and his hands were trembling slightly.

Corpses are everywhere.

It is not an exaggeration to use this word to describe the current situation.

Countless twisted limbs were scattered around, and the boy himself was covered in blood, making him look extremely hideous and terrifying.

In particular, in order to completely eliminate these tenacious mountain ghosts, all the means he adopted were extremely cruel.

However, in reality, when Xiyu thought that these students would be afraid of or alienated from him after seeing this scene, what he saw were faces full of extreme pain.

"Why...why would such a kind person like the teacher have to suffer such a thing?"

"This world is truly rotten..."

"Teacher...after this is over, you must be gentle with him."

"After going through so many terrible things, even if a long time has passed, it will still leave scars on your heart..."

"Teacher, you saved us. Now it's our turn to heal you!"

"..."

Listening to the whispers coming from below the stage, Xiyu was stunned for a moment, and a touch of emotion flashed in his pupils.

He had experienced similar things in the past.

When he bathed in blood and even transformed himself into a devil in order to protect his companions, he was not understood by his companions but was rejected by them instead.

Now, with a similar beginning, both let the other party know his other side, but these children did not alienate him like his former companions.

Instead, I went a step further to accept him as he was.

For this reason, after Xiyu gradually came to his senses, his heart was filled with warmth.

As expected... everyone in Kivotos...

thank you all.

I like you guys the most——!

After dealing with a group of mountain ghosts left on the top of Daluo Mountain by the mastermind, Xiyu came to the location of the old mountain temple under the guidance of the information provided by the old village chief.

Probably because they didn't want people to find the location of the former mountain temple, the mastermind handled this matter very thoroughly.

If it weren't for the information provided by the old village chief, Xiyu wouldn't have been able to find this area for a while.

Or in other words, even if you pass by it, you won’t be able to recognize it.

After all, there is nothing left here now...

"..."

Looking at the open space in front of him, Xiyu was about to take a step forward when he suddenly felt dizzy and his vision became blurred.

Under the influence of all this, Xiyu lost his balance and fell to the open space in front of him.

*Did you consume too much energy fighting the mountain ghost?

*Or...

Xiyu murmured, took out the little remaining water from the Longyin Pond from his pocket, and took a big gulp.

Only then did he take a breath.

As his mind regained clarity, he realized some abnormalities that he had previously overlooked.

Those mountain ghosts, not to mention their extremely tenacious vitality, their terrifying strength and defense alone are not something that ordinary people can deal with.

Even if he had undergone rigorous training, he could only defeat one or two at best.

But now, not only did he survive, he even wiped out all the mountain ghosts left on the top of the mountain by the mastermind.

This change undoubtedly illustrates one thing.

The degree of my transformation into a mountain ghost has become deeper and deeper...

*We must hurry up...

Gritting his teeth and creating pain by tearing a wound on his chest to wake himself up, Xiyu crawled up from the ground again.

At the same time, seeing this scene, Xiyu in reality seemed to guess what would happen next.

"teacher--"

"Hello, little Serina, and Sena..."

"Teacher, let's forget about the small talk. Compared to this——"

With a gleam of light in Serina and Sena's eyes, they stretched out their hands to the teacher the next second.

Teacher: “Quack——”

Just as Xiyu in real life is suffering from the "torture" of two nurses, Xiyu in the past on the screen is also suffering from the erosion brought by the mountain ghost transformation.

Although the transformation into a mountain ghost had a certain degree of impact on his consciousness, it also gave him a strong physique and super senses.

After the young man's hard searching, he finally found a hidden passage under a huge rock not far from the site of the mountain temple.

No one knows where this passage leads to. The only thing that is certain is the dark entrance, which is like a huge man-eating mouth, constantly devouring the surrounding light.

Should I really go in?

The answer is yes.

The power that the god of Mount Daluo left in this area in the past is now like a candle in the wind.

This can be seen from the fact that mountain ghosts can gather on the top of the mountain.

In this situation, the only thing Xiyu can do is to move forward.

So, after this thought came to his mind, he decisively plunged into the hidden cave.

The light in the passage was extremely dim, making it difficult to see the road ahead.

Fortunately, there is only one road from beginning to end in this passage, so Xiyu does not need to worry about getting lost.

The only thing he needs to worry about now is whether he can hold on until he can successfully pass through this hidden passage.

And it turned out that he succeeded.

When Xiyu successfully passed through the hidden passage and saw the scenery outside the passage clearly, a faint light rose in his slightly empty eyes.

*It seems... that my bet was right...

Longkou Cave.

Located 7,200 steps from Mount Daluo, the shrine was previously accessed through a dim path in the Dragon Mouth Cave.

Now, after returning to Longkou Cave through the hidden passage on the top of the mountain, Xiyu only needs to continue following this path, and there is a probability of more than 90% that he can reach the new temple of the mountain god!

Seeing this scene, many students cheered.

Hifumi: "Great! This way, the teacher can become a mountain god!"

Xiao Zi: "Teacher, he must be a gentle god."

Hanako: "Yes, he will surely guide us gently in all kinds of things~?"

Koharu: "Uooaaaaaah! Hanako! Don't you dare say anything!"

Hanako: “Huh?”

While most of the students were happy because their teacher was stepping onto the long stairway to godhood, there were still some girls in the crowd who kept serious expressions.
