The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer

Chapter 1998 - 172: More and More Mysteries

Dong Huiying held suspicions in her heart, looking blankly at Yixuan.

A man dressed in emerald clothes sat atop a horse.

His slender body was as graceful as Jade Bamboo, with an air and demeanor that were remarkable.

Even though she had known him for a long time, there were times when Dong Huiying was still in awe of his charisma.

Yixuan gazed ahead, the Ancient Temple concealed within the clouds and mist.

There was a faint contemplation in his eyes.

"Do you remember the Mountain God, my wife?"

Dong Huiying carefully recalled, "Mountain God... It feels like I’ve heard of it somewhere before?"

Suddenly, she uttered a sound of realization.

Dong Huiying displayed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"I remembered!"

No wonder it sounded familiar.

"I once heard you mention that the local people like to worship the Mountain God, especially those in business, who regularly offer tributes to the Mountain God. They give their earnings as offerings, praying for favorable weather and prosperous business."

Yixuan nodded and said, "Yes, that is the Mountain God."

Dong Huiying’s eyes shifted.

"Could it be? Are you suspecting, Yixuan?"

Dong Huiying suddenly stopped speaking.

This speculation seemed somewhat plausible.

Although the Third Elder in the Qin family had less power than Old Lady Qin, she was still significantly influential.

She was certainly aware of the Mountain God matter.

And now to discreetly head up the mountain, could it mean... that the Third Elder might be secretly meeting this Mountain God?

In Dong Huiying’s eyes, the so-called Mountain God was actually just a charlatan swindler.

Recalling those legends spread in Dongdi about the Mountain God, Dong Huiying couldn’t help but think—this Mountain God was not only a swindler but also skilled in the Technique of control!

The so-called Technique of control was about giving a stick, then a sweet jujube.

Dong Huiying inferred from the Mountain God’s deeds.

For example, those merchants in The Eastern Lands must worship the Mountain God to thrive locally. Regularly offering their profits to the Mountain God was necessary to ensure the safety of their homes.

In this process, there was rebellion, but those rebels didn’t end well.

Some extermination tragedies were involved, and the rumors outside claimed that those people were punished due to their disrespect towards the Mountain God.

But what were these legends truly about? That’s up for interpretation.

This also reflects something indirectly.

The Mountain God must be extremely domineering.

Those who follow thrive, those who oppose perish!

Invisibly controlling The Eastern Lands, Dongdi belongs to the Dayuan Dynasty, yet under the Mountain God’s control, it resembles a nation within a nation.

Thinking about it gives one chills.

The opponent has been operating in Dongdi for so long; if left unchecked, it could even destabilize the fundamental essence of the nation.

Dong Huiying asked anxiously, "Yixuan, what is this Mountain God’s background?"

Yixuan pondered and said, "Regardless of the origin, it’s not an ally. The opponent’s deeds are disadvantageous to Dayuan. At the very least, it proves he’s not one of us, or rather his ambition isn’t here; his heart isn’t in Dayuan."

Otherwise, how could he commit such self-serving actions?

Dong Huiying’s heart sank heavily.

In that moment, she suddenly recalled the origins of the Qin family.

The Dayuan Dynasty has several ancient families that have been passed down for over a hundred years.
