Chapter 178 Old Street, Museum

The old street, the museum.

Here, there were seven members in total: Old Mountain Lord at the lead, assisted by the two best fighters from the other mountain ranges, each bringing an ordinary mountain god, in addition to the water ghost, water god, and Changcheng, the Lord of Liusha River, a deity of the Nine Virtues.

The originally spacious museum suddenly felt cramped.

It was completely full, and the atmosphere seemed quite serious.

As for how unusually serious it was.

The old woman next door, returning from buying groceries, keenly realized that things were not simple.

Passersby on the road felt that something was wrong.

The old gatekeeper was thoughtful.

The unemployed man at home also noticed something.

Even the kindergarten children returning from school noticed it.

Only Zhang Hao, who drove over for a free meal, was clueless.

………………

The neighbor old woman hurried past.

Then she hurried back with her grocery basket.

Then she walked past again.

Her eyes were sharp, darting towards the glass display case.

She was almost fifty, but her cultivation aptitude was quite good. After entering the Qi Cultivation Method, she directly chose to practice the eye techniques of the Sichuan Shu dark weapon school, which was actually the so-called 'seeing in all directions and hearing in all directions'. This skill was the most popular in community public classes across the country.

As for the reason?

Of course, it greatly expanded the spare time activities of the elderly in the community.

It increased and widened their ability to listen to gossip.

And it strengthened the fighting power of enthusiastic community groups like the Chaoyang masses with an epic-level patch.

The side effect was that young men playing basketball couldn't beat the square dance grannies.

There might even be grandmas dribbling with a basketball, then performing a windmill dunk.

And the emergence of heated basketball competitions for the elderly.

"Hey, did you see the museum?"

"Yeah, what's going on? Auntie Liu, do you have some insider information?"

"Oh, what insider information could there be?"

The old woman holding the grocery basket raised her right hand to cover her mouth, looked around, and a glint flashed in her eyes: "I think ah, her family's here."

"Oh my, how do you know?"

"Didn't you see the atmosphere? Little Wei hasn't even shown his face, and Miss Jue is just sitting there, probably getting a lecture. This matter is uncertain. Tsk tsk, back when my old man..."

The direction of the community gossip shifted again, heading in an unknown direction.

The atmosphere in the museum, however, was different from what they imagined.

The girl dressed in simple elegance held a cup of tea.

Her posture and demeanor were graceful and refined, with an indescribable noble aura. Her eyebrows were slightly lowered, and many Kunlun Mountain gods unconsciously became solemn, even the Mountain Lord of Chongwu Mountain. They had watched this child grow up, and she was very kind, but that didn't mean they could overstep boundaries.

After all, the Four Great Heavenly Maidens of Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire.

Only the girl before them had been taken by the Queen Mother of the West to travel the mortal world for a thousand years.

This seemed like nothing, but if you thought about it carefully, it was extremely weighty.

As for the other three, one temporarily took care of the house for the Queen Mother, one was the God of War, and one was the God of Drought. It was almost obvious. There was also the saying in the mortal world, 'Fire falls, golden wind rises'. The Queen Mother of the West was the Golden Mother, and Jue before them was the wind, and had almost been taught as a successor.

Zhang Hao was invited out by the forthright and polite monk to spar.

Zhang Hao said he wasn't interested.

The monk offered a meal as a reward.

Zhang Hao said that not only one meal, but three meals would be fine.

The girl helplessly pursed her lips and said:

"Everyone has been here for a few days. Now you can tell me the specific purpose."

"I haven't asked before."

"I think everyone is ready."

The Kunlun Mountain gods looked at each other and nodded.

However, the girl's tone quickly turned gentle: "However, this matter is quite big. Yuan has gone to Qingqiu. When he comes back, let's discuss it in detail..." Regarding the battle with the Taotie, Jue did not go. On the one hand, of course, she believed in Wei Yuan.

On the other hand, Wei Yuan deliberately found an excuse to keep the girl.

With the water ghost's jokes, the atmosphere of communication in the entire museum was still relaxed and pleasant.

It was difficult to discuss things seriously in an environment where the water ghost was playing normally.

"However, that kid has quite a lot of experience..."

The Mountain God of Qianlai strolled around, looking at the museum's collection, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Tsk tsk, these ancient thousands of years, he's lived through dynasties, rich experience, rich experience, general, Taoist priest, hermit, he's done it all, hahaha, speaking of wine, women, wealth, and anger, I wonder how many wives he has..."

??!

The lively atmosphere that the water ghost had just created in the museum suddenly solidified.

The movements of the War Soul froze, and his eyes seemed to be glued to the soul-nurturing wood next to him.

The Mountain Lord of Chongwu Mountain plucked off another beard.

Cold.

The museum was as cold as a blizzard blowing in from the Siberian ice sheet.

The water ghost stretched out his middle finger and adjusted his plain glasses.

A strange light reflected from the edge of the right lens.

"Doesn't this mean that Wei..."

The Water God of Liusha River, Changcheng, next to him was about to speak when the water ghost reacted quickly, directly using the Grip of the Undying with his left hand, clasping Changcheng's head with his five fingers, and quickly rotating a bottle of sugary water with his right hand, connecting to the death charge, and stuffing the sugary water directly into Changcheng's mouth.

The carbonated drink followed the laws of physics and exploded into a foam offensive.

Changcheng's voice only managed to utter one word before turning into a meaningless gurgling sound, accompanied by the twitching of his limbs.

The water ghost raised his head, his face unchanged, and said cheerfully, "Ah, hahaha."

"Old Brother Qianlai, what are you talking about?"

"My boss, a hereditary pure Yang body, I can guarantee it with my integrity!"

Only then did the atmosphere slightly thaw and ease.

The Mountain God of Taiqi Mountain chuckled drily, changing the subject.

Immediately, these mountain gods showed strange expressions.

It was great that he was a pure Yang body... but why did they feel so sorry for that guy?

Too pitiful.

Yes, really too pitiful.

Changcheng poked the water ghost and whispered:

"You said you guarantee with your integrity, do you still have integrity?"

The water ghost answered righteously: "No!"

Changcheng was stunned: "Then how do you use your integrity to guarantee it?"

"It's because I don't have it that I use it to guarantee it!"

The water ghost widened his eyes, suspiciously:

"Would you use something you have to guarantee it?"

If I have a hundred million, I will donate it all.

But if I have a hundred yuan, I won't donate a penny.

Because I really have a hundred yuan.

Changcheng: "............"

The water ghost adjusted his glasses, and a strange light reflected on the lenses.

"What's wrong with your glasses?"

"I bought them, they have LED lights inside..."

"As expected of you..."

"Want them?"

"Yes."

The Mountain Lord of Chongwu Mountain sighed helplessly. The Mountain God of Qianlai was the first mountain god recorded in the entire Classic of the Western Mountains. This was naturally because the latter was the most capable fighter in the first mountain range of the Classic of the Western Mountains, but he didn't know if it was because he was too capable of fighting, which led to his brain being full of muscles. He didn't think before he spoke.

No, when the mountain gods transformed into spirits, their brains should be made of steel.

Even if it was true, he couldn't say it in front of the girl like that.

To be honest, this was also the reason why the Old Mountain Lord was unwilling to agree to that kid.

The Old Mountain Lord also agreed with what the Mountain God of Qianlai said.

Having lived such a life, with each generation being wonderful, how could such a person not have women who were in love with him?

It was more normal to say that he would have female confidants.

That kid might be carrying a lot of love debts.

How could his Kunlun Mountain Heavenly Maiden suffer such grievances?!

But when the Old Mountain Lord raised his head, intending to ease the atmosphere, he found that the girl was just sitting there calmly, with a clear and elegant expression, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, but also with an awe-inspiring demeanor that would not be shaken in the slightest.

The girl held the tea and said with some incomprehension: "What Yuan has experienced in the past is not a big deal, but everyone has come to the mortal world. Since even the Old Mountain Lord has come, it is obvious that the matter is not small. But when facing such a big matter, instead of focusing on it wholeheartedly, you are distracted by these irrelevant trifles, is this not inappropriate?"

"And if it is not a big matter, but something that can be casually chatted about in a relaxed atmosphere."

"Then, for such a matter, even the Mountain Range Lord has appeared, abandoning the mountains under his leadership in the Western Mountain Realm, is this not a slight dereliction of duty?"

"Since everyone is a mountain god, there should be a contract with all the myriad phenomena of the mountains. And now, what is it that has made everyone betray the contract of the gods to come to the mortal world, is it just such a simple and irrelevant matter?"

"Jue is very curious."

Her tone was gentle, and her words made many mountain gods shudder in fear.

The Heavenly Maiden's feedback was that, when facing a major event, they were distracted by 'unimportant' things, which would damage the dignity of Kunlun.

The Mountain God of Qianlai felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.

The Mountain Lord of Chongwu Mountain explained and pleaded for the Mountain God of Qianlai, "It is our dereliction of duty. Your Majesty Jue, don't worry. We also have a plan for coming to the mortal world..."

The Heavenly Maiden's tone was gentle and peaceful. She paused and said:

"Well, in that case, then I will trouble the Old Mountain Lord."

"First, make some preparations."

"Before telling Yuan, tell me about the matter in detail."

Jue stood up and nodded slightly.

Leaving these mountain gods with space to communicate and discuss with each other.

She turned and walked out, heading to the flower shop.

The White Snake, who had just been watching, thought for a while and still came to ask.

As well as Qin Yuan, the Kunlun Mountain little bee, who was originally habitually coming to freeload a meal.

When he saw a bunch of familiar guys in the museum, he was first dumbfounded, and then instinctively turned around and directly entered the flower shop next to the museum. His heart was pounding non-stop—

What, what's going on?!

Didn't I run away to the mortal world?

Why did I see that bunch of guys again?!

As a professional honey brewer in Kunlun Mountain, these mountain gods were the evil former superiors and Class A clients in Qin Yuan's eyes, who demanded an unlimited supply of honey wine 365 days a year. As Party B, his first reaction when he saw these guys was a liver ache.

When he returned to the flower shop, he heard about what had happened in the museum from Bai Suzhen.

He thoughtfully said, "Jue, are you expressing your dissatisfaction in such a roundabout way?"

"Very clever!"

The girl was stunned, shook her head, and said, "No, I didn't."

"I really think that although I'm happy to see them again,"

"But it is indeed a violation of the duties of the Kunlun Mountain Gods, and it's the wrong thing to do."

"It has nothing to do with Yuan."

Qin Yuan: "Huh?!"

The intellectual woman in a white coat and gray turtleneck sweater pondered and said:

"Then, are you not curious about Yuan's affairs?"

The Heavenly Maiden pondered and replied frankly:

"No, Yuan's past is his past; and what we see now is the current Yuan. The past has passed, and the future is long and distant. Besides, if he has had other confidantes, then judging from the order, I came later."

"Whether it's first come, first served, am I the later one?"

Bai Suzhen: "............"

The corners of Qin Yuan's mouth twitched, but he saw the clear and peaceful eyes of the girl in front of him, and helplessly complained:

"Jue, you... are the Heavenly Maidens' and our ways of thinking different? I see... you are the wind in the sky, it must be different."

"If any male bee dared to treat me like this, I would definitely pull out all his stingers!"

"Then do you have a male bee?"

"No... ah, when did you come?!"

Qin Yuan turned his head and saw that Zhang Hao had also walked in. It was because the mountain gods were discussing things and the museum couldn't be entered. He had been beaten and his eye sockets were slightly bruised. Because he was familiar with them, he had heard what they had just said and made a joke without hesitation, "Oh, there's a hint of jealousy in these words."

"Miss Jue, are you jealous?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the few people in the house were stunned.

How could he say it so directly... and, Jue's expression just now.

That was clearly serious, not some deliberate temper tantrum.

Qin Yuan sighed to the sky, and even the gentle and intellectual Bai Suzhen didn't know what to say.

Yuan Jue silently raised his fist, seeming to think that he hadn't hit him hard enough.

The Heavenly Maiden was stunned.

Just as everyone present was about to shut Zhang Hao's mouth.

The girl reached out her palm and pressed it to her chest, absentmindedly pondering.

She noticed a trace of noise that had appeared in her heart since she was in the museum.

Bai Suzhen noticed something, raised her eyes to look, and the girl raised her head and murmured:

"I see..."

"So this is jealousy?"

"Huh?!"

Qin Yuan, who was grabbing Zhang Hao by the collar, turned her head.

Zhang Hao, who was joking, was also stunned.

The beautiful girl with her black hair hanging down pressed her hand to her chest, her eyes clear:

"I see, this feeling is what humans call jealousy..."

"I am jealous."

Qin Yuan was dumbfounded.

This…

So frank?

………………

Before returning to the museum, Wei Yuan went to Longhu Mountain by the way.

After all, when fighting Taotie, he borrowed the Male and Female Dragon Tiger Swords from the Old Heavenly Master.

He should return them, and it would save him from having to change his route. The Old Heavenly Master was quite calm and composed. After all, he was now the creditor, and he was not afraid that this kid would not return them. Seeing this kid come to return them respectfully, he felt quite happy: "Hmph, how are the treasures of my Heavenly Master's Mansion?"

"Amazing, they can even resist the power of Taotie."

Wei Yuan praised.

A round of mutual flattery.

Then he took out the Dragon Tiger Sword and handed it over.

Zhang Ruosu reached out to take it, but only touched the hilt of the sword.

Suddenly, accompanied by a wail, the long sword with dragon patterns directly shattered and turned into dust, leaving only a hilt. Wei Yuan and Zhang Ruosu's expressions slowly froze, and only the desolate sound of wind blowing leaves remained in the air.

Wei Yuan seemed to recall Taotie's voice in his ears, 'Swallowing the Heavens and Devouring the Earth!'

Could it be…

He stammered, "Well, well, there's still one left."

As soon as he raised it, the short and wide sword also shattered and turned into powder.

With a gust of wind, it blew into the Old Heavenly Master's mouth.

Zhang Ruosu: "............"

Wei Yuan: "............"
