Peerless Taoist

The mountain was nameless, and there was no spiritual energy. The trees were lush, and there were wild beasts roaming around. Even if it was in the mortal kingdom, it could be considered as an extremely remote place.    

The address only left behind this mountain, and there was no other clue. It seemed that the Ancestral Divine Statue's transmission was extremely difficult, and it had already exhausted all of its strength to be able to say the mountain's address.    

Lu Yu landed on the mountain and immediately retracted all of his aura. He looked at the lush forest around him and swept his Spiritual Sense in all directions.    

Very quickly, the entire mountain was within Lu Yu's sight. Every blade of grass, every blade of wood, every blade of flower, every blade of leaf, was clearly visible.    

There was a village at the foot of the mountain. There were few people in the village, and most of the villagers had already gone to the fields to work. Apart from that, there were only some wild beasts in the mountain, and there was nothing else.    

No one had a cultivation level, and everything they saw was a mortal. Many people were like the ordinary villagers in the mortal kingdom. The villagers worked and slept every day, and it was the same for all eternity.    

Lu Yu took a deep breath. He suddenly realized that the Ancestral Divine Statue might not be what he had imagined.    

The dignified Spirit Mountain Continent's Creation God was actually hiding in this remote mountain. No matter what, it did not make sense.    

In an instant, the aura on Lu Yu's body changed. The aura of an emperor that ruled over all lives no longer existed. Instead, it was replaced by a gentle and kind aura, as if he was a scholar who had read many books.    

Following the mountain path, Lu Yu walked down the mountain. From the distant trees came a rustling sound. There were still some wild beasts in the mountains, but Lu Yu did not care and continued to move forward.    

But at this moment, a sharp sound of air being torn apart suddenly sounded in Lu Yu's ears.    

Whoosh!    

It was an arrow with a shockingly fast speed. Like a black shadow, it arrived in front of Lu Yu in the blink of an eye.    

Lu Yu had already noticed the arrow flying over. He took a step to the side and dodged the arrow without leaving a trace. The sharp arrowhead instantly pierced into the nearby trees, and the end was still trembling.    

A man ran out from the forest in the distance. He was dressed in coarse linen clothes, and his face was filled with nervousness.    

"How could it be one person?" The man was sweating profusely. He ran over with a nervous expression. When he saw that Lu Yu was unharmed, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief.    

He quickly walked forward and cupped his hands. He said, "Little brother, I'm really sorry. I was blind just now and thought that it was a wild beast in the mountains. I almost made a big mistake."    

"It's fine." Lu Yu waved his hand, his expression calm.    

A look of surprise flashed across the middle-aged man's face. He did not expect Lu Yu to be so calm.    

Looking at Lu Yu's clothes again, the middle-aged man probed, "Little brother, are you a student who is rushing to take the exam?"    

Lu Yu nodded silently and did not explain.    

The middle-aged man could not help but take a deep breath, cupped his hands and bowed, "So it's the High Scholar. My name is Hu Tieniu, I am a hunter from the Lower Village. I have offended the High Scholar, please forgive me."    

Lu Yu sighed in his heart. He knew that the other party had misunderstood his identity.    

However, Lu Yu was originally a disciple of the Confucian Sect. The temperament of his body, which was filled with knowledge, was difficult to describe with words. The brocade clothes that he was wearing looked quite luxurious, and it was not something that an ordinary family could afford.    

In this mortal country, those who could read were definitely from some family.    

Hu Tieniu reminded, "Little brother, in this remote wilderness, there are often wild beasts. This place is too dangerous. I advise you not to walk up the mountain, but to take the official road."    

Lu Yu nodded and agreed with a few words. Then, he asked if there was a Temple here.    

"Temple? That thing probably only exists in the county. How can a small village like ours afford a god?"    

Hu Tieniu shook his head, and then thought for a while. He said, "If you are talking about the temple, there is a broken temple in the mountain. There is an old man guarding it. However, that place has long been dilapidated, and even the villagers do not want to go there, let alone a god."    

Broken temple?    

Lu Yu's heart moved. He asked about the location of the broken temple and said goodbye to Hu Tieniu. Then, he set out to the direction of the broken temple.    

At this time, the sky gradually darkened and the sun gradually set. Walking in the forest, the sounds of wild beasts could be heard from time to time.    

However, no wild beast came to disturb Lu Yu. The wild beasts in the darkness subconsciously sensed that Lu Yu was quite dangerous.    

It was an instinct from their bloodline that made them hold back their bloodthirsty desire and not dare to attack Lu Yu.    

Following the mountain path, Lu Yu suddenly heard light footsteps behind him. It seemed that the other party was in the same direction as him.    

At this time, the sky was already dark. Even the farmers and hunters who were working all packed up their things and returned home. Very few people would rush to the mountain at dusk.    

Lu Yu turned around and looked over with his Spiritual Sense. He could not help but be stunned.    

At the foot of the mountain, a thin and small figure was slowly moving. She was holding a small bamboo cane in her hand and continuously tapping on the ground.    

It was a girl who was about five or six years old. She was wearing a small tattered shirt and her face was covered with mud that had been stuck to her face. Her figure was very small, as if she did not have enough nutrition.    

The mountain path was rugged, and the little girl was probing bit by bit. Her eyes were tightly closed. It turned out that she was a blind child and could not see the road ahead.    

No one was helping her, but the little girl was firm and familiar with the path. She had walked this path many times.    

Lu Yu's heart trembled slightly. He did not know why, but he had seen this girl somewhere before.    

Back then, in the Lower Realm.    

The Netherworld Shura Palace was dark and gloomy, and there was no sunlight.    

Niu Niu was helplessly waiting for her elder sister, who would never appear, in that kind of environment.    

Lu Yu could not bear to see such a scene. Just as he was about to step forward, he discovered that there was a white tiger lying on the ground in the surrounding bushes. Its eyes were cold as it laid on the ground, staring at the little girl.    

That was the posture of an attack on its prey.    

Even if the tiger was lying on the ground, its body was still slightly taller than the little girl. Compared to this huge monster, the little girl was just a piece of delicious meat.    

If it were a normal child, he would have already noticed the tiger's figure. However, the girl's eyes were blind, and she could not see the way forward. She could only helplessly use her bamboo stick to knock on the ground and fumble forward.    

If it was not for Lu Yu's help, the little girl would have lost her life to the tiger in the next moment.    

However, just as Lu Yu was about to appear, a similarly tender hand grabbed the girl.    

"Hold on to my hand, let's go!"    

It was a boy who was also wearing tattered clothes. He had a dirty face and was only about seven or eight years old. His skinny figure was not much stronger than the girl's, but at this moment, he suddenly unleashed some kind of power and grabbed the girl's hand, running up the mountain.
