Chapter 439 Three Prayers
"The three of them visited again. I think they received blessings from the mountain god."
Gu Wu said calmly, "I know that the three of you have many questions in your mind at this moment. Please move and follow me. I will answer your questions one by one."
He turned around and led the way, but this time he was not going to the main temple, but to a house in the side yard.
After entering the room, Gu Wu took his time and poured four cups of hot tea slowly before saying: "Please sit down."
The three of them sat down, but when they saw the tea pushed in front of them, they didn't choose to drink it.
Gu Wuze picked up his cup, took a sip slowly, and said, "You three might as well tell your questions."
So Akali took the lead and asked: "Our prayers have indeed come true. Does the mountain god really not want anything in return?"
Gu Wu put down the tea cup and said: "According to the principle of balance among all things, the mountain god paid for nothing, how could he not ask for anything in return?"
Akali narrowed her eyes: "That's not what you said yesterday."
Gu Wudao: "I didn't mention this matter yesterday because even if I told you in advance, the three of you might not believe it. What happened to the three of you yesterday was just that the mountain god wanted to prove that he could do it. In this way, The next explanation is also a bit easier.”
Akali said calmly: "Then let's talk."
Gu Wu smiled faintly: "Have you heard of the Godhead?"
Ahri was a little confused: "God's throne?"
"Yes, many gods are hidden in the human world. It is not just a kind of nihilistic belief. There are also subtle differences among the gods. The godhead can also be called the godhead. Those who possess the godhead are the true gods, with infinite power. Otherwise, he is a false god.”
Gu Wu calmly explained.
The three of them have all seen the world, so they naturally know that there are indeed gods in this world.
Lu Qi asked Janna in his heart at this time: "Is what he said true?"
"I don't know." The Elf Goddess responded, and continued, "But it should be true. After all, I dare not say that I am a true god. As for the godhead, there should be some. I can often feel a vague feeling. It’s like something within reach, yet just out of reach.”
Lu Qi nodded slightly. As far as he knew, there were probably not many true gods in Rune Land.
Even the one from the Anaconda Islands may not be the true god.
Akali also made a guess at this time: "So the mountain god is just a false god now?"
Gu Wu looked at her and shook his head slightly: "Not even a false god. A false god can also be called a demigod. The mountain god at this moment is still under the demigod."
Akali couldn't help but think, how could she be so powerful even if she wasn't a demigod?
As if he saw the doubt in her mind, Gu Wu smiled and said: "Things that are difficult for us humans to do and understand are actually very simple for the extraordinary creatures of nature."
Akali thought for a moment, she had indeed seen extraordinary beings before.
It was the guardian spirit of the earth. It was angered by a Noxian urchin and resurrected, showing a strong sense of oppression.
He indeed possesses power that ordinary people cannot understand.
Looking at the quiet three people, Gu Wu spoke again: "To be honest, the mountain god is currently conducting a ceremony to ascend to the gods."
Akali raised her head, a little confused: "God promotion ceremony?"
Gu Wu looked at her and said slowly: "A long time ago, the mountain god was just a mountain spirit in this area. Over the course of time, he gradually took possession of himself and began to protect this area.
Then many years passed, and Guyuan Town was gradually built here. People built mountain temples, thus recognizing the existence of mountain gods.
Several years later, the enemy invaded. In order to protect Guyuan Town from being invaded, the mountain god decided to appear.
And when he decided to appear in this world, he also felt some kind of omen. He had a premonition that when his faith was sufficient, he would be promoted to the rank of demigod.
Therefore, he wholeheartedly helped many people complete their prayers and collect faith. But it was always a close call. "
At this point in the story, Gu Wu stopped.
After the three people listened, they were all thoughtful.
After all, he has made it very clear that this mountain god is now enlightening, so he is so enthusiastic about helping people complete their prayers.
As for the mountain god protecting Guyuan Town, it is indeed true. Yesterday, I just made some inquiries and found out that during the invasion of Noxus, Guyuan Town was protected by the mountain god and was protected from persecution.
Akali asked: "Is faith so good?"
"Of course not." Gu Wu shook his head: "It is still difficult for a person to have faith in a short period of time, especially when there is a lot of faith required. Therefore, the mountain god began to look for special destined people without them having to create Faith, as long as you have a grateful heart.
It is a kind of psychological recognition, which is equivalent to faith. The mountain god who stays at the threshold of the demigod also needs this very much.
From the moment they entered the temple, the mountain god had already sensed the extraordinaryness of the three of them. If he could gain the gratitude of three people, it would be of great help to him. "
At this point, Lu Qi and the others could basically understand.
Akali asked again at this time: "Why didn't the mountain god tell us? Instead of sending you?"
"The mountain god cannot take the initiative to show up and say these things. The meaning of his interference is different from that of a mortal like me."
Gu Wu explained, looked at the three of them and said: "If the three of you leave Guyuan Town today, it means that fate can only end here. But if the three of you choose to come again, it is naturally up to me to give the answer."
Lu Qi asked at this time: "So what do you want us to do?"
"The three of you don't need to do anything. You just need to pray in front of the mountain god statue like yesterday." Gu Wu said, "As long as the mountain god helps the three of you and completes three prayers. After receiving the sincere worship of the three of them, even if It’s done.”
In fact, it is a transaction that is beneficial to both parties.
Akali thought for a moment and said, "What if the mountain god cannot fulfill my wish?"
Gu Wu smiled helplessly and said: "The mountain god is not even a demigod now. If it is some shocking wish, he may be helpless. I hope you three can be sensible."
It seems that as long as the wish is not too extreme, this mountain god can make it come true.
Lu Qi thought for a while and said: "In that case, let us help the mountain god."
Gu Wu heard the words and said: "I would like to thank the mountain god in advance."
Seeing that Lu Qi agreed, Akali and Ah Li said nothing more.
The three of them returned to the Mountain God Statue Temple, completed the same steps as yesterday, and prayed to the Mountain God Statue.
After the prayer was over, Gu Wu sent the three of them to the entrance of the temple and said, "Please come back tomorrow."
Watching the three people go down the mountain, the figures gradually disappeared.
Gu Wu turned around and returned to the hut: "God, according to your instructions, I have finished explaining to them. They should believe it."
"Yes, just wait until they come again, and I will show up in person."
A mysterious sound came from the house.
Gu Wu said with some confusion: "Are those three people really so important to God? What if they leave?"
"Well, you might as well talk to me."
A generous shadow suddenly appeared in the room, and his face could not be seen clearly.
Seeing this, Gu Wu quickly lowered his head and waited respectfully.
Xuying said calmly: "Among those three people, only one is crucial to this god. Among them, the masked woman is also a rare delicacy, but compared with the Vastaya of the Visakha clan, it is not worth it at all. Mention it.
Unexpectedly, after hundreds of years, we can still see the remnants of the Vishal clan. If her soul is swallowed up, this promotion ceremony will be a sure thing! "
Speaking of the latter part, Xuying's voice also contained a bit of excitement that was hard to suppress.
He was indeed performing a ritual, but it was not to become a god, but to become a demon!
As a demon that has survived for hundreds of years, he has had many different names throughout history.
But what he is most satisfied with is being called - King of the River!
Since his birth, he has been a unique high-level devil, but he has remained here for hundreds of years.
Until he learned that there was a more powerful demon above him!
The River King began to be dissatisfied with the status quo. He wanted to become a more powerful existence, which would allow him to play with human souls more easily.
Now it is true that he has been preparing for so long in Ionia, and finally the key soul has arrived.
As long as he successfully swallows this soul, plus the entire Guyuan Town, he will most likely transform into a more powerful demon!
Unfortunately, in Ionia, he didn't dare to take action directly.
As a high-level demon, the River King's combat effectiveness is actually not very strong.
But he has a special ability.
That is to trick those souls into accepting his gifts.
The moment the gift is completed, the devil's contract will be automatically established!
Three times, as long as a soul accepts his gift three times in a row, he will always be stronger than that soul.
So he only needs to pretend and wait until the three gifts are completed, everything will be foolproof.
At the same time, his powerful demonic abilities coupled with hundreds of years of accumulation allow him to easily fulfill the wishes of mortals.
Gu Wu immediately said: "Congratulations to God."
"It's too early to congratulate you now, but there's only one step left." Xuying said firmly, "I can feel the desire in her heart, and she is the only one who is least likely to leave."
Gu Wu didn't know what the Vishal clan was, but he could feel the importance of the woman in the cloak.
At the same time, he thought of something and asked curiously: "What about that man?"
"It's just dispensable."
Xuying said calmly, "At most, it can be regarded as a reasonably delicious ordinary person. It can be enjoyed as an appetizer."
"It turns out he's just an ordinary person. The villain thought he was unfathomable because of his handsome appearance and extraordinary demeanor."
Gu Wu recalled that man's temperament and thought he was the most extraordinary.
It turns out to be the most common one.
That's okay.
"Among those three people, only his wish is the most vulgar, the easiest, and not worth mentioning." Xuying still said calmly, "Next, I will make some preparations for tomorrow, about the girl from the Visakha clan. , I still have some things to investigate, so take care of this place."
"yes."
Gu Wu responded immediately.
Then the shadow gradually dissipated.
At this time, Lu Qi and the others had already descended the mountain.
"My prayer is the same as yesterday, what about you?"
Akali asked at this time.
Ahri nodded: "Me too."
She wanted to know more about the Sun Stone and her own life experience, and now she saw hope.
Lu Qi said: "Mine is the same."
Akali was thinking about things and said: "Is it as easy to be promoted to demigod as he said? Is it really just our gratitude?"
Although she agreed to Gu Wu, she still felt a little strange in her heart, but she couldn't say what was strange.
After all, Gu Wu didn't make any strange requests, as long as they worshiped the mountain god with gratitude.
Only in this way, they will not suffer any loss at all, but they will also receive three blessings from the mountain god.
Regarding the mountain god, it seems that the reputation in this area is very good.
During the war, it was indeed the mountain gods who protected the people in this area.
Maybe the needs of mountain gods are really different from the needs of humans like them.
Akali couldn't think of anything wrong for the time being.
Lu Qi said: "Don't worry so much, you will know after praying three times."
At this time, the mountain god statue flashed through his mind again, and Lu Qi finally had an impression, but he was not too sure yet.
But what is certain is that whatever the mountain god has planned, there will definitely be an answer tomorrow.
It was still early at this time, so the three of them planned to go shopping on the street.
When I came to yesterday's lottery shop again, it was not open yet.
Akali glanced at it and said: "If you want your prayer to come true, I'm afraid it's better to go through here."
Lu Qi nodded: "You can come and try it in the afternoon."
At present, it seems that the mountain god fulfills the prayer not directly, but indirectly in some way.
As a result, the three of them planned to go to yesterday's market again.
After arriving at the market, I quickly spotted the old man I had seen yesterday. He was shouting energetically, and then he saw Lu Qi and the other three walking towards them.
His eyes lit up and he immediately said: "It would be great to see you again. After I went home yesterday, I searched for a long time and finally found a record about the sun stone, which was left by my ancestors."
After hearing what the old man said, Ah Li immediately stepped forward and asked with concern: "Can you let me take a look?"
"Of course it's no problem. I originally thought that if I encountered it again today, I would take it out. After all, it is the last sun stone in the world."
As the old man spoke, he moved a basket away, revealing a stone slab underneath.
Ah Li immediately felt something. He couldn't help but pick up the slate and cast his gaze. He couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw a pattern carved on the stone slab, a woman with fox ears and tail, surrounded by three sun stones, and her body seemed to be emitting some kind of brilliance.
There is also a text recorded on the stone slab.
It was in the ancient Ionian language. Ahri couldn't understand it, but Akali could understand it because she had learned it. She read it out and said: "The Veshag tribe is a very ancient race. The Sun Stone is Created by them, I once wanted to buy one at a high price, but was rejected, which is a pity."
Listening to these words, Ah Li was a little distracted, and his hands unconsciously clenched the stone slab tightly.
When she heard this name, she was inexplicably convinced of the Visakha tribe.
This is her tribe, and the woman carved on the stone tablet is her tribe!
This is the life experience she has always wanted to find.
Ahri came back to his senses and asked quickly: "Do you have any more news about the Weishag tribe?"
The old man shook his head: "No more. Even this stone slab has a long history. It seems that my ancestors once wanted to buy a sun stone, but failed and left a record with regret. If not, I’m afraid no one will recognize the Sunstone anymore.”
"Okay, thank you. I want to buy this slate, is that okay?"
Ahri was not disappointed this time, but wanted to take the slate away.
"It's useless for me to keep them. Just take them away. Just like yesterday, treat them as gifts for buying these items."
The old man smiled kindly.
On the way back.
Akali came to look at the stone slab and said, "I don't think I have heard of the Vishal Clan."
Ahri's eyes flickered: "Maybe they still exist somewhere, but they just left Ionia."
"That's probably the case, but I think there must be more information about Vishal being recorded somewhere."
After all, Akali was born in the Kinkou sect and had practiced both civil and martial arts since she was a child, but she had no impression of this tribe.
Then there is only one possibility, Weishahuo left Ionia very early.
But why did Ahri stay behind?
This is also what Ahri wants to know.
"In comparison, the timing of that old man's appearance was too coincidental."
Akali was more concerned about the old man at this time, "I'm curious whether it was arranged by the mountain god, or whether he would have appeared there."
If Ahri had not prayed, would he have met that old man?
Maybe, maybe not.
But there seems to be no point in worrying about this now, because Ahri's wish has indeed come true again.
Yesterday she learned about the Sun Stone, and today she learned that the Sun Stone was created by the Weishag clan, and it was very likely that they were members of her same clan.
In the afternoon.
The three of them went to yesterday's lottery shop again and each bought a set of numbers.
I want to see if Lu Qi’s wish will come true.
Quietly waiting for the lottery draw.
Soon, as the red balls fell one after another, Akali compared the numbers Lu Qi bought, and they were exactly the same again.
But this time she wasn't so surprised.
Because she can be sure that it must be because of the mountain god.
If you think about it this way, this mountain god seems to be quite capable.
The difference from last time is that this time the red ball was also bought.
That is the jackpot.
Lu Qiqi's wish was to get more money. After the accumulation of bonuses, the first prize had reached six thousand gold.
A thousand gold more than yesterday.
When he received the award, the entire store couldn't calm down.
The store owner was a little unbelievable, as if he didn't expect someone to win the first prize so quickly.
It was a total of six thousand gold. When he gave it away, he was so distressed that he almost cried.
This way of making money was something he obtained from the temple on the mountain. I haven't made much money yet, so I have to make a fortune.
Seeing Lu Qi come back with a box of money, Akali always had a sense of déjà vu that was divorced from reality.
The noise around her brought her back to reality, and she couldn't help but look in the direction of the mountain temple.
Then would her prayer be in the same way?
