Chapter 231: Hanyu Mountain in the Snow

December 22nd, heavy snow.

In Hanyu Mountain, the cold wind is bleak.

The enormous vortex of tribulation clouds silently hovered above the Hanyu Mountain, spinning slowly. From a distance, the eye of the storm in the center of the vortex looked like a gateway to another world, mysterious and eerie.

But everyone in the Shuisheng Village knows that the location at the center of the vortex is the main peak of Hanyu Mountain, the temple of the Wolf God.

Such a scene will only make the villagers more awed by the Wolf God in the mountain.

Outside of Hanyu Mountain, everything withers and dies, and the heavy snow blocks the roads. Looking out, the whole view is just a vast expanse of white, with no greenery in sight.Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

On the vast expanse of the snowy land, it appears so bleak.

Wang Laoliu huddled alone in the corner of the village fence, tightly wrapped in a blanket while staring blankly outside the village.

The cold winter wind was almost unbearable for him, but fortunately, the burning firewood beside him dispersed some of the winter chill.

It is his shift duty today and his task is to sit here for the whole morning until the shift changes in the afternoon before he can leave.

In a wilderness village like Shuisheng Village, the massacre of monsters is only an evil act that exists in legends, but the attacks of wild beasts are a reality that occurs every year.

A wooden fence that is over one zhang (3 meters) tall surrounds the inside and outside of the village, to prevent wild beasts from entering.

Although, the Wolf God restrains the wild beasts in the mountains and doesn't allow them to come down and eat people.

However, in the wilderness, beasts run rampant, not just in Hanyu mountain. In this cold and snowy December, the hungry beasts would often journey alone for long distances, searching for any living creature in their sight.

The end result was that they took a risk and attempted to enter the village to eat people.

Such incidents happen several times every year.

Therefore, several young and strong men are needed to guard each entrance and exit of the village.

However, when other young and strong men are on guard duty, soft and gentle ladies will come by to keep them company and bring food and drink. Sometimes, their children will come along and play together, so they won't be bored.

However, no one comes to take care of old bachelors like Wang Laoliu.

In the past few years when his mother was still alive, Wang Laoliu could still rely on her company to chat with and receive food from her. However, after his mother passed away, no one paid attention to Wang Laoliu anymore.

Even if there are some friends or acquaintances in the village, they wouldn't be bothered to leave their warm houses in such a cold and snowy winter season to come to the village entrance to drink the northwestern wind with him, would they?

"I heard it too..."

"It's Wang Laoliu's voice!"

"Hey! Wang Laoliu, what's gotten into you again? Don't joke around with the Wolf God's name! Be careful or you'll get struck by the lightning!"

In the village, because of Wang Laoliu's loud shouting, things quickly became lively.

At Hanyu Mountain, in front of the Wolf God Temple constructed purely from wood, a huge white wolf descended slowly.

The scene in front of him wasn't too different from when he left.

It is still a large hall and a few small houses, quietly nestled in the quiet forest without grandeur or luxury decoration. It looks so simple.

But even with just these simple houses, for Lu Heng, they were extremely familiar and far surpassed all the grand mansions and luxury temples he had seen during his journey south.

"I'm finally back..."

Lu Heng looked around and smiled, "It seems like Sun Yan didn't slack off. The place is very clean."

In front of the Wolf God Temple, there's not a single fallen leaf to be seen.

Even the steps in front of the temple have no dust on them.

It is apparent that the white ape who stayed in the mountains really kept up the hygiene.

"But where is Sun Yan?" Lu Heng looked at the empty Wolf God Temple in surprise and confusion. "Why can't we find any trace of him?"

Inside and outside the Wolf God Temple, Lu Heng couldn't sense the white ape's presence. It's evident that the monkey is no longer in the mountain.

But now it's freezing cold and windy outside with snow covering the ground. Could it be that this monkey who should have stayed in the mountains to cultivate has gone out to play in the snow?

Lu Heng turned his head and saw that Xiao Ai, the silver-haired girl with animal ears, had already walked out with a grim expression on her face.

"I'll go find him!"

With a cold voice, the young girl flew away directly towards the mountain, without turning back, heading towards the outside.

That gloomy and cold expression frightened Gu Yan so much that he "swished" and flew behind Lu Heng, thinking that he had offended this senior sister again.

The fat bird, as always, looked lazy and indifferent to life and death. It even slowly landed on the top of a birch tree and began to sleep with its head hanging to the side.

Lu Heng watched Xiao Ai's departing figure and gave a helpless shake of his head before letting out a hearty laugh.

"Sun Yan, Sun Yan... I can't save you this time... Haha..."
