C18 End paragraph

The old man led the way and went deeper into the forest to search for the Mountain Protector.

I don't know how long I walked in the mountains, but I only know that we didn't stop, and the old man seemed to know where our destination was. From start to finish, he wasn't anxious for half a year, so I wasn't in a hurry due to curiosity.

Soon, we came to a forest. The trees were extremely tall, and it would probably take four or five people to hug them together. The sky was covered and the earth was covered.

At this moment, the old man suddenly stopped in his tracks. Looking at the old man's gaze, I vaguely saw something up ahead.

Upon closer inspection, I found that in front of the big tree, there was a small temple about half a meter tall and a meter in circumference. The old man told me that this was the home of the mountain guardian.

When I was shocked, there were two reasons for my shock. The first reason was because I was shocked that there was such a small temple in this world. The second reason was because I was even more curious about the appearance of the Mountain Defender Immortal after seeing this temple.

Although the small temple was small, it was fully equipped. Even though it was somewhat dilapidated, it gave off an indescribably imposing aura.

His Master took out a piece of talisman paper from her bosom. After chanting two incantations, she stuck it to the roof of the temple. Immediately afterwards, she saw the talisman flash with a golden light and disappear.

The sound was eerie, as if it were impossible for a human being to make such a sound. At the same time, I wondered if it was a dwarf who had walked out of such a small temple. After all, the height of this place was limited.

"Who is it, using the Spirit Requesting Talisman to make me appear …" A slightly grumbling voice sounded out from the temple. Following which, I saw with astonishment that the person who walked out wasn't a human but a mouse. To be more specific, it was a white-haired yellow-tailed rat that was slightly bigger than a normal mouse.

"You are …" Lao Shu stared at the old man as he walked out. His big, round eyes flashed with suspicion. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and was interrupted by the old man.

"Who I am is not important. What's important is that I want to borrow something from you!"

"Something?" "What is it?" A sense of vigilance arose in the Mountain Shou Immortal's eyes.

"Your hair!"

"Oh, that's easy, I'll just give it to you …" As she spoke, she moved her chubby little claws towards her body, obviously preparing to pluck out some feathers.

"Wait a minute, I'm not talking about your fur, and you have nine inches of golden fur on the corner of your mouth!" When Master said this, I noticed that there was a total of six slender golden hairs on the corners of the mountain deity's mouth.

"No, these nine inches of golden fur are not something that you can lend me so easily. I think you should know that these nine inches of golden fur are not easy to cultivate. A single strand will take fifty years to cultivate." It was quite funny for the Mountain Defender Immortal to be so adamant on not giving him anything. He endured for a long time before he finally stopped laughing.

"Whatever. Look at what this is?" As the old man spoke, a grass like thing appeared in his palm.

The Mountain Guarding Immortal looked at it and didn't seem to mind. He turned his head and suddenly thought of something. He immediately turned his head back and stared wide-eyed at the blade of grass in the old man's hand. Could it be that this grass was some sort of treasure?

"Alright, I'll exchange it with you!" As the Mountain Immortal spoke, he carefully plucked out a golden fur from the corner of his mouth. The instant he did so, I seemed to see the body of a white-haired yellow-haired rat violently tremble, and even the golden color of its other whiskers seemed to have faded slightly.

After exchanging items, the white-haired yellow-tailed rat sneaked back. Before it left, it suddenly gave me a glance before swaggering into the temple.

On the way back, I finally couldn't hold back my curiosity anymore and asked a few questions. Why is the hair on the corner of his mouth on his mouth able to save the half corpse Lady Boss? And the grass.

The old man told me that among all the guardian immortals, all the cats and mice, or even the guardian immortals with hairs on the corners of their mouths, would have special hairs on their bodies other than the spirit pills in their dantian. For example, they are like the Sun and Monkey of legends, and all of their monkey hair is a precious treasure that requires dozens or even hundreds of years of cultivation to refine; therefore, they cannot easily give these things to others.

The reason he was able to trade with me was because the grass I gave him was even more precious than his fur, enough to make him lose one golden hair to repair and increase his cultivation greatly. Thus, he would naturally trade with me.

They quickly rushed back to the village. When they returned home, Zheng Chen was already awake. The Lady Boss had long since fainted from the pain.

The old man said he couldn't let anyone disturb him, so I helped Zheng Chen out. After all, he had been lying there for so long, so he gave them some space.

When Zheng Chen and I were out on a stroll, I told him everything about the red packets and quests in the group. Of course, I did not tell him about the old man, the Mountain Immortal, and the Lady Boss since these things have nothing to do with him and even if I did tell them, they would not necessarily believe me. After all, if I did not see it with my own eyes, it would be hard to believe.

After Zheng Chen found out that we've gotten rid of the strange red packets in the group, he felt much better.

I didn't know how much time had passed. I only knew that by the time we went back, the old man and the Lady Boss had already disappeared. I knew that they didn't want my classmates to see them.

It's fine if I leave, but I'll have to come up with an excuse to introduce them to each other.

After recuperating for half a day, we left. Due to having passed through the mountain once, we were able to recognize the path down the mountain. This time, it took us less than two hours to walk out from the mountain.

The sight of the town again was pleasing to the eye, as if the days of darkness had passed in an instant.

We didn't stop at the town, and we took a bus back to the city. Years ago, there was only one train to and fro in the city, but now there are cars all day long.

In the car, the old man sent me a long series of messages.

The general content of the letter is, you asked me to help you find something about Xin Rou, I found it a little strange, I used the Soul Summoning Talisman, but I was unable to find it, and even under the Soul Summoning Talisman, there are only two reasons why I was unable to find it, that is, the other party's soul is already dead, so the Soul Summoning Talisman is unable to find it, and the second reason is this.

She was originally soulless, so even if the Soul Summoning Talisman brushed past her, it wouldn't be able to recognize her.

How was this possible? Even if I don't know anything about the strange powers and spirits of Yin and Yang, I still know that a person without a soul is equivalent to a dead person, or at least not a person.

I didn't really believe him, but after spending so much time with the old man, I knew that he wouldn't lie to me.

In the end, the old geezer even told me a few things about the Lady Boss. Tell me, since the corpse poison has been dispelled, the Lady Boss is no longer a half-dead person and is now a true human. After I saved her, she disappeared without a trace.

In the end, the old man said that he had some matters to attend to recently and that he would be back in a few days. He also reminded me to not forget to take him as my master when he returns.

Acknowledged a master? It seemed like it would really work!

I had not slept well for so many days, I don't know when I fell asleep under the jolting of the car, and it was Zheng Chen who woke me up.

Looking at the familiar city and the familiar school, the fear in his heart from the past few days seemed to have disappeared in an instant.

When we arrived at the dorm, I told everyone that we had completely left the red packet terrorist mission. However, everyone didn't sound as happy as I imagined. After the entire atmosphere turned cold for a while, a girl suddenly cried out loud.

While crying, he said, "These few days, there are already quite a few people in the school who wake up the next morning and find themselves either on the field or in class. There are even some who wake up to find themselves lying beside the artificial lake in our school …"

"And this morning, Cheng Wei found himself in the bathroom when he woke up!"
