At the top of Mount Shu, there was a huge altar, surrounded by muscular men wielding iron weapons.
An old man stood in front of the altar, and behind him was a beautiful young girl.
" Priest grandpa, why did you call me here?" Jing Ying smiled awkwardly. She thought to herself that she had not caused any trouble recently. Other than sneaking off to the Central Plains two years ago, she had been staying in Mount Shu to cultivate since she came back.
The priest first stood on the altar and prayed to the heavens for a while before turning to look at Jing Ying.
Jing Ying was one of the best among the younger generation of females in Mount Shu, be it in terms of appearance or ability. However, she was playful at times and gave the old man a headache.
"Jing Ying, you're already fifteen years old. In another year, you'll be sixteen. It'll be considered the age of adulthood set by Mount Shu. At that time, you should choose the boy you like and contribute to the prosperity of Mount Shu."
When Jing Ying heard this, he thought to himself that something was up.
"Grandpa Priest, my father and mother have told me about this many times."
" Then do you have a boy you like?"
Jing Ying was depressed.
There was no one she liked at all. Instead, there was a large area of Mount Shu that she liked.
The people of Ba Shu were so realistic. Men liked beautiful women. If there was a competitor, they would compete with each other. Whoever won would get the woman. It was the same for Mount Shu.
As a woman of Mount Shu, she was not allowed to refuse. Every woman had to marry when they reached adulthood and contribute to the population of Mount Shu. After all, there were people who died in hunting every few years. It was impossible not to increase the population.
Jing Ying accepted this rule rationally, but she couldn't do it emotionally.
However, she knew that she had no strength to resist unless she ran away again, and it was the kind that would not come back.
The priest knew the situation from Jing Ying's expression.
"Jing Ying, Mount Shu is the descendant of Yu the Great. We have our own responsibilities. Every generation is no exception. However, if you really don't want to marry, I have a second option. That is to become a witch of Mount Shu."
"Witch, priest grandpa, me?" Jing Ying pointed at himself in surprise.
The witch of Mount Shu was no joke. She had a very high status and only the most outstanding female among the younger generation of Mount Shu could take up this position. She was responsible for contacting the Mulberry Divine Tree and using its power to suppress Yu Yuan. This was of great significance to Mount Shu.
However, there were not many women who met the requirements. Sometimes, Mount Shu could not nurture a witch for many years.
The priest looked at Jing Ying and nodded," You are very talented in the techniques of Mount Shu. We have not had a witch for more than ten years. You are the most promising one in this generation. Jing Ying, as long as you inherit the position of witch, you can choose not to marry. No, I should say that the witch of Mount Shu cannot marry."
Jing Ying was tempted.
Perhaps it was a very serious matter for women in this era to not marry, but Jing Ying felt that it was quite good.
As for whether he would meet someone he liked in the future.
Damn, let's talk about the future in the future.
Jing Ying was quite magnanimous.
"Grandpa Priest, I think the position of a witch is more suitable for me."
" Priest, there seems to be a problem at the foot of the mountain. It's quite a commotion," a guard ran over and said.
Was there a problem at the foot of the mountain?
The priest and Jing Ying were puzzled. They walked to the side of the mountain peak where they could see the central area below Mount Shu.
The two of them happened to see a white figure flowing through the crowd at the foot of the mountain. The surrounding people tried their best to stop it, regardless of whether they were adults or young people. However, even if they joined forces, they could not gain an advantage in front of this white figure. They could see that many people were knocked to the ground by this white figure, and some were even sent flying.
" An unusual beast has entered Mount Shu. It looks quite ferocious, but it looks like a deer." The priest was surprised. No matter what kind of deer it was, it should be very weak.
Jing Ying was even more surprised. She rubbed her eyes and confirmed the white beast shadow in her vision again. In the next second, her face immediately lit up with joy.
"Wow, it really is Little White. It actually came to find me."
The priest looked at Jing Ying with question marks.
Who was it?
Xiaobai?
.........
A certain man threw out a long whip and wrapped it around one of Ling Ye's hind legs. His eyes were filled with joy as he thought that he had succeeded. He was about to use force to pull Ling Ye, but who knew that Ling Ye's hind leg would exert force. Not only did he not pull Ling Ye, but he was also pulled over.
"Ahhh, help!"
"Bang!"
Deer hoof seal.
This was the only impression the man had before he fainted.
There were more than a hundred people lying on the ground. Regardless of gender, they were all experts from Mount Shu.
The group of youths from Mount Shu who wanted to capture Ling Ye as a mount had already turned pale in fear and hid far away.
With so many adults, even the fiercest bears and black panthers in the depths of Ba Shu could be easily taken down. But now, they were helpless against a white deer.
"This group of people is really annoying. Don't block my way."
Ling Ye raised his front hooves and activated the power of the earthquake once again.
This time, the tremors spread to a radius of a hundred meters. The entire Mount Shu could hear it. Those who were still standing were all shaken by the tremors under their feet.
Ling Ye jumped towards the place where the strange aura was coming from.
The adults who had fallen to the ground looked in the direction where Ling Ye had gone, and their faces paled.
"Not good, it's going to the location of the divine tree."
"We can't stop it. This white deer is too strong. Fortunately, the commotion just now should be able to attract the guards of Mount Shu. We'll have to rely on them then."
Ling Ye jumped around Mount Shu.
The aura here gave him a very comfortable feeling. It was even better than the one he had temporarily lived on Mount Yunwu more than a hundred years ago, except that it was a little hot.
Finally, Ling Ye arrived at his destination.
What entered his eyes was an extremely huge red tree.
"What kind of tree is this? It's so big!"
Ling Ye looked at the extraordinary tree in front of him in shock.
The height of the tree was more than a hundred meters.
The tree trunk was red, and one could feel the heat coming from it.
There were countless golden leaves on the branches above, and they looked very beautiful.
The combination of red and gold was like a flame, warm and beautiful.
"What kind of tree is this? Why do I feel that there's a faint spirit-gathering effect around me?"
The closer Ling Ye got to the tree, the more obvious it became.
He could gather spirit and could clearly confirm that this tree seemed to be gathering spirit as well. However, the degree of spirit gathering was far inferior to his, and he could not even see the changes with the naked eye. However, Ling Ye was sure that this giant tree was not an ordinary tree, but a real spirit tree.
Just as Ling Ye was about to touch the tree at close range.
"Stop!"
A shout came from behind, and more than twenty agile men quickly jumped over.
The Mulberry Divine Tree was a very important treasure of Mount Shu. They would never allow outsiders to approach it, let alone a beast.
"Looks like I have to deal with you guys."
Ling Ye calmly turned around. His antlers emitted spiritual light and he was about to attack when a voice almost made him fall.
"Xiao Bai, you came to see me?"
