let go of my skin fairy

Chapter 13 Only Worship the Snake Immortal, Not the Land

In fact, Jiang Chaoge has always had a question in his mind.

If there are ghosts in this world, will there be gods?

Now, the answer is obvious.

However, the stone statue of the land god in front of him is definitely not a 'god', at most it is just something that seals the memory of the old man.

"The old man acted like he didn't know Ah Li just now. It should be because his memory was sealed by this stone statue. The only way to read the old man's memory is to break the stone statue."

Of course, doing so would probably offend the 'god' in the temple, but the other party has already attacked him, and it doesn't matter whether he offends or not at this time.

Jiang Chaoge decided to give it a try, he wanted to see if he was really strong.

He rushed up.

Turning his palm into a knife, he slashed at the stone statue's throat.

"boom!"

The stone statue vibrated, and then cracks appeared on it. These cracks spread like spider webs, and soon, the stone statue collapsed and shattered.

Turn into a little light.

At the same time, Jiang Chaoge really saw the old man's 'memory'.

It worked!
It's so simple?
……

In the earth temple.

Ah Li's stone statue suddenly opened its eyes.

A little golden light shines from the eyebrows of the stone statue, which seems to be a character, which looks a bit like the word 'earth', but it exudes an ancient atmosphere.

The two Ah Li seemed to sense the wrath of the stone statue, and shouted together.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

……

"Grandpa, grandpa... I'm hungry."

On the wooden bed, a thin child opened his mouth, his arms were as thick as wood, and his eye sockets were sunken.

Next to the child, lay a mother-in-law with her eyes tightly closed.

The old man is holding a small bag of rice in his hand, which is for the seeds to be planted next spring. Besides, the chicken coop at home has long been empty, and there is no other food.

"Grandson, grandpa is useless, just wait, wait... Grandpa will cook porridge for you now, old lady, you must persevere."

The old man seemed to have made up his mind and walked towards the kitchen with the rice.

And at this moment, shouts sounded outside the door.

"The bandits are coming!"

"The bandits are coming!"

Mountain bandit? !
The old man was shocked, and hurriedly wanted to hide the rice in his hand, but it was too late, because several bandits had already rushed in.

"You are the village head of this village? What about the food, hand it over quickly!"

"No, these are the seeds to be planted next spring. If we eat this, our whole family will starve to death."

"Bullshit, I clearly saw you going into the kitchen? You still want to lie to me! Hit me!"

"Bang bang bang!"

With fists and kicks, the rice was snatched away.

But the bandits didn't stop there, they ordered the old man to gather all the people in the village, and each household offered food one by one, otherwise they would kill people.

The old man kept praying to the bandits, telling them that the 'Hakama River' flooded during the rainy season this year, and the rice fields were flooded and there was no harvest, but the bandits only had a fierce look in their eyes.

The more catastrophic the year, the more ferocious the bandits.

There was a lot of crying in the village, and the faces of the villagers were full of despair, because if all the food was taken away, they would have to wait to die next.

"Why, why is this happening? We worship the land god every year. Why doesn't the god bless us and let the river burst?" The old man was full of unwillingness.

And at this moment, the girl came to him, with two braids on her head and a snake-shaped birthmark on her face.

The old man remembered a young girl named A Li, who was picked up by Granny Liu at the west entrance of the village in the mountains two months ago.

However, Granny Liu died soon after picking up A Li. Everyone said that A Li was a disaster, and she killed Granny Liu, so the children in the village bullied her.

"Grandpa the village chief, they robbed us, why didn't you beat them away?" A Li tilted his head with an innocent expression on his face.

"Hit... and run away?" The old man was taken aback, and covered Ah Li's mouth: "Don't talk nonsense... If we are... heard, we will all be killed."

"I'm not afraid!" Ah Li broke away from the village chief's hand.

For the first time, the old man felt Ah Li's great power. However, he vaguely remembered that when the children in the village bullied her, she was always smiling and did not resist.

"A Li, don't go!" The old man wanted to stop A Li.

But Ah Li had already stood in front of the bandits, raising his thin fists.

"Bad man!"

She bared her teeth with a fierce look on her face.

The villagers were terrified, even if A Li was a disaster, they were unwilling to watch A Li being beaten to death by bandits.

But then, the old man and the villagers of Xiaoshan Village saw a scene that they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

A Li was standing in front of the bandits, but none of the bandits could hurt A Li, as if there was an invisible force around A Li.

"Monster, she is a monster!"

The bandits yelled loudly and fled the village.

The villagers looked at the thin A Li, all of them were frightened.

The old man didn't care about this, he rushed back to the house with the rice he had snatched back like crazy, but when he boiled the rice into porridge and ran to the bed.

The child has died.

Tears flowed from the eyes of the old man, and he fed the gruel into the old woman's mouth little by little.

Then he walked out of the house.

In the village, Ali was isolated under a tree. No one dared to approach him. The villagers looked at him with fear. Only a few children boldly threw stones at him.

"Monster, kill the monster!"

But in the face of all this, Ah Li still kept smiling, letting the stone hit her face: "Hehe, I'm not a monster, I'm a human!"

"No, you are not human!" The old man shouted loudly.

All the villagers looked at the old man, including Ali.

"Grandpa Village Chief, I'm really human. I like Xiaoshan Village, and I like everyone." The smile on Ah Li's face is warm and healing, like a peach blossom in full bloom in March.

The old man looked at A Li seriously, and said word by word: "Grandpa believes in you, but you are not human, you are a snake fairy, you are the reincarnation of a snake fairy!"

"The reincarnation of the snake fairy? I am the reincarnation of the snake fairy?" A Li couldn't believe it.

The same goes for the villagers.

But the old man has already made a decision in his heart, since the land god cannot protect Xiaoshan Village, then he no longer believes in the land, he only believes in the 'snake fairy'!
"Yes, you are the Snake Fairy Empress, and your responsibility is to protect the village, understand?" the old man affirmed.

"Well, I will!" A Li nodded excitedly.

"Snake Fairy... is she the Snake Fairy Empress?"

"So Ah Li is a snake fairy!"

The way the villagers looked at A Li gradually changed. No one called her a monster anymore, and the children stopped throwing stones at A Li, but circled around A Li.

"Empress Snake Fairy!"

"Empress Snake Fairy!"

"We should build a temple for the Snake Fairy!"

"Yes, build a temple for her!"

I don't know who made the suggestion, but it quickly got the approval of the whole village.

Therefore, the villagers began to plan to build a temple in the village. However, Xiaoshan Village was too poor to afford food. How could they afford to build a temple?
The old man stood up again at this time: "There is a land temple five miles away from the village, why don't we change the land temple into a snake fairy empress temple?"

"Yeah!"

The villagers all agreed.

Then, the villagers ran to the land temple, overturned the stone statue of the land god, and carved a new stone statue in the place of the stone statue of the land god.

So far, the villagers of Xiaoshan Village only worship the snake fairy, not the land.
