Chapter 56 The Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountain, Xu Xian Moves the Gods

The Taihang and Wangwu Mountains rise high above the clouds, and the mountain roads are rugged and difficult to travel.

Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen looked up at the mountain, feeling quite emotional.

"My lord, this mountain is terrifyingly high! Shall we fly over?"

Xu Xian shook his head and said, "No, let's move the mountain."

"scare?!"

Bai Suzhen was confused and thought Xu Xian wanted to use his supernatural powers to move mountains.

She shook her head: "My lord, to move these two sacred mountains, besides immense magical power, we also need to speak with the mountain gods..."

"No need for that. Look over there."

Bai Suzhen looked in the direction Xu Xian was pointing and saw what appeared to be figures moving in the mountains.

She released her divine sense and observed carefully, and indeed saw quite a few people.

What puzzled Bai Suzhen was that those people did not possess any magical powers; they were just ordinary mortals.

Moreover, their vital energies are interconnected, and their causes and effects are intertwined.

It's clearly a family.

The elderly man at the head of the group held a pickaxe and forcefully struck the rocks on the mountain.

The children behind the old man picked up the pebbles, put them into bamboo baskets, and carried them out of the mountains.

Bai Suzhen watched for a while, puzzled: "My lord, what are these people doing?"

Xu Xian said calmly, "They are moving mountains. The Taihang and Wangwu Mountains are blocking the old man's way, and he wants to move them."

"How is that possible? These two mountains are towering into the clouds. It's simply impossible for a few mere mortals to accomplish this."

Xu Xian, recalling Yu Gong's words, smiled and said, "A few mortals? Yu Gong's descendants will help him move them. Grandchildren beget sons, sons beget grandchildren, and so on, endlessly, until the mountains are no longer high. As long as we work hard, one day we will move these two great mountains."

Bai Suzhen frowned and whispered, "My lord is being sophistical. Even Yu Gong couldn't guarantee that his descendants would continue to move the mountain."

"Heh heh, that's true, but at least their resolve is very firm right now."

Looking at the two mountains, Bai Suzhen asked, "My lord, you just said we were going to move the mountains to help Yu Gong?"

"No, that's their business."

According to the original story of Yu Gong moving the mountain, for the next twenty years, Yu Gong worked diligently, leading his descendants to move the mountain.

Finally, their words moved the Jade Emperor, the supreme ruler of the Three Realms, who sent a mighty god to move the two mountains away.

If Xu Xian were to make a move at this moment, it would likely fall into the eyes of the Jade Emperor.

Xu Xian did not want to get involved with this supreme being of the Three Realms beforehand, so he would not show up to help Yu Gong.

However, he was genuinely envious of the "mountain-carrying" supernatural power in the story of Yu Gong moving mountains.

Both "Dan Shan" and "Tong You" belong to the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends, and are both purple-level supernatural powers.

Extremely powerful!

Therefore, Xu Xian had to find a way to complete the story of Yu Gong moving the mountain ahead of schedule.

"My lord, what should we do?"

Xu Xian pointed to the Taihang and Wangwu Mountains and said, "Please, my wife, summon the two mountain gods and throw them into the Rotten Chess Game."

Why is that?

Xu Xian laughed and said, "The two mountain gods don't want Yu Gong to move the mountain, and they will often try to stop him. We just need to trap the mountain gods, and Yu Gong will be able to move the mountain very smoothly."

"But even without the mountain god, it would probably take them hundreds of years to move the mountain, wouldn't it?"

Xu Xian thought to himself that his wife was really a bit childish.

How could it possibly be possible for Yu Gong to move all the mountains?

If Heaven notices Yu Gong's actions, it will naturally bestow blessings and help him move the Taihang and Wangwu Mountains.

Therefore, what Xu Xian had to do was attract the attention of Heaven.

The simplest way is to make the mountain god disappear!

While mountain gods, land gods, and other deities are indeed the main gods of the Heavenly Court, they are extremely inconspicuous.

In Journey to the West, even if mountain gods and local deities are bullied by monsters, it will not truly provoke the gods of Heaven to subdue the monsters.

It's nothing more than taking a look.

Therefore, Xu Xian only needed to make the two mountain gods disappear to attract the attention of Heaven.

Although Bai Suzhen didn't understand Xu Xian's thoughts, she was still very obedient.

Holding a divine light shield, she flew to the Taihang and Wangwu Mountains, releasing her magical power.

Moments later, the two mountain ranges began to rumble.

The old man from the mountains roared, "The mountain god is angry! Quickly hide on the flat ground!"

Yu Gong and his descendants immediately ran to an open space and waited quietly.

Judging from how familiar they were with the route, they had obviously done it many times before.

This time, however, the mountain god did not target them. Instead, he revealed his true form and flew directly to Bai Suzhen.

The Taihang Mountain God said, "You monster, how dare you be so audacious! How dare you act wildly before me?"

The God of Wangwu Mountain sneered, "Why waste words with her? Quickly suppress her, and then..."

At this point, the God of Wangwu Mountain seemed to have thought of something.

His eyes darted around, and he said to Bai Suzhen, "We can spare your life, but you must promise us one thing."

Bai Suzhen asked curiously, "What is it?"

The Taihang Mountain God naturally understood the Wangwu Mountain God's thoughts.

He pointed to Yu Gong and his family lying on the ground and said, "Kill them, and we'll pretend we didn't see anything."

"You two are both mountain gods, why don't you do it yourselves?"

The two mountain gods frowned deeply: "Hmph! Can't you see? That old thing has a great karmic burden, and we are all righteous gods of the Heavenly Court, so we can't possibly take action."

Bai Suzhen sneered, "Ha, so you two gods are going to pin this karma on me?"

"Why waste so much breath on a mere demon? Even if it is..."

Before the two mountain gods had finished speaking, they suddenly felt a great golden light shining brightly around them!

They were startled and immediately mobilized their magical powers, shouting, "We are two righteous gods of the Heavenly Court, how dare you be so insolent!"

As they spoke, they were about to use their own magical power to break through the golden light.

But they found that no matter how hard they tried, they could not break through the golden light around them.

"What kind of treasure is this?"

"Could it be supernatural power?"

The two mountain gods tried their best, but to no avail.

They were panting heavily in the golden light, cursing incessantly.

Bai Suzhen knew she couldn't kill the mountain god, so she only used her divine light shield to imprison him, and then used her movement technique to head towards Shishi Mountain.

At this time, Bai Suzhen had obtained the True Dragon Root, greatly enhancing her strength.

The speed of flight naturally far exceeded expectations.

Within a day or two, she had already flown to Shishi Mountain.

Bai Suzhen took out the Divine Light Shield and chanted an incantation.

Two figures flew out from the divine light shield and disappeared straight into the Rotten Chess Game.

The Buddhist monks, the Crane Boy, and the Rakshasa King were setting up a chessboard when suddenly they heard two loud bangs.

"Another person has arrived?"

"Who is it this time?"

"Judging from the golden light emanating from them, they must be two celestial deities."

……

The two mountain gods were thrown around and were completely disoriented.

They stood up and saw the three Buddhist monks: "Gentlemen, what brings you here?"

The Buddhist monks chanted Amitabha Buddha's name but did not reply.

The Crane Boy pointed to the Rotten Chess Game and asked, "Do you know how to play chess?"

Only the Rakshasa Demon King is a ghost immortal, and thus has the lowest status.

He explained the Rotten Chess Game and asked the two if they had ever seen Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian.

Upon hearing those two names, the two mountain gods gritted their teeth in hatred: "Once we get out of here, we will tear them both to pieces and imprison their souls in the deepest hell!"

"Ha, want to get out? Just you wait!"

The gods in the Rotten Chess Game waited anxiously, while the Heavenly Court had already discovered the abnormality of the mountain gods of Taihang and Wangwu.

"Did the two mountain gods leave Taihang and Wangwu Mountains without permission?"

"Eyes that can see a thousand miles and ears that can hear the wind, go and see what's going on."

"yes!"
