Chapter 117 Two Gods
Shuzhou, late at night.

Zitong, Shanteng, and the unnamed chamber of commerce deacon were about to rush back to seek Gu Chen's return.

But the things encountered along the way slowed down the pace of several people.

Needless to say, the bandits on the road, they also saw many yellow and emaciated people wandering on the road at night.

They are not ghosts, they are human beings, but compared with ghosts, they are more like ghosts. Zitong once saw with his own eyes the scene where some of these people fell down, and other people swarmed up to eat them.

These people have been hungry for a long time, they can't leave Shuzhou, but they also can't get food.

People can do anything when they are hungry for a long time, so they do the same things as ghosts.

cannibal.

"Tsk tsk, what a waste."

When encountering these things, Shantou always sighs like this.

Human cannibalism, this kind of thing will not bring any benefits to human beings except to relieve their own hunger. It is better to let ghosts eat them directly, and ghosts can also evolve to a certain extent.

In fact, during this period of time, Shantou, Zitong, and the deacon of the chamber of commerce also ate several times.

They don't have to take the initiative to find food at all. In Shuzhou, where there is a severe drought and no food, they can see dead 'food' all over the place by walking casually on the official road.

Although the taste is not very good for ghosts, it can satisfy their desires and improve their abilities accordingly.

That's why Shanto felt it was a waste to see these people cannibalizing each other at this moment.

If it wasn't for Zitong not wanting to get involved in these matters, Shantou might have stepped forward and wiped out these people.

"Try not to cause trouble, we will leave Shuzhou soon."

Zi Tong saw that Shan Teng seemed ready to move again, and said softly to him.

Shantou grinned and said:
"Don't worry, I know what to do."

A few people passed the skinny guys passing by, and continued to move forward.

They took this road when they came, but it was different from when they came. This road seems to have been discovered by refugees. In recent days, many refugees are trying to escape Shuzhou from this side.

Zitong didn't mind this at first. After all, the road here is difficult. If they were not ghosts, they probably would die many times if they walked this road. If these people wanted to find death, Zitong and others couldn't stop them. with.

After all, they are not relatives.

However, what Zi Tong never expected was that even this "court death" was not allowed.

Da da da--

A rush of horseshoes sounded from behind, and Zitong and the others looked back.

By the light of the moon, everyone saw a group of soldiers in armor flying towards this side.

The refugees all showed panic when they saw the soldiers, turned around and tried to escape, and the soldiers over there roared angrily when they saw this:
"According to the order of Master Zhizhou! Everyone is not allowed to leave Shuzhou!! Anyone who violates the order will be beheaded!!"

The general scolded angrily, but the refugees ran even faster.

Seeing this, the group of soldiers were merciless in killing people.

Riding on fast horses, the soldiers quickly caught up with the refugees. They held up the spears in their hands, and without any further hints, they stabbed the spears mercilessly, piercing the chests of these refugees.

There were screams and wailing sounds, and many refugees stopped and knelt down on the ground trembling, but this group of soldiers seemed to have no intention of keeping alive.

"Oh, it seems that we are not causing trouble, but trouble is causing us."

Seeing this, Shantou stared in surprise and said.

But the corners of his mouth raised high revealed his mood at the moment.

After enduring all the way for so long, Shantou couldn't wait to start killing.

Zitong was also not in a good mood. She obeyed the young master's order and never caused trouble along the way, but sometimes it wasn't that they wanted to cause trouble, but the trouble came to them on their own initiative.

Looking at the group of soldiers who wanted to kill him and others, Zitong said in a low voice:
"Try to stay alive."

"Hey, no problem."

Shantou smiled happily.

At this moment, the group of soldiers finally noticed Zitong and the others who were standing still but not afraid at all.

Seeing this, the general among the soldiers questioned loudly:

"Who are you!"

"Hey hey, you guys will know soon..."

Shantou didn't smile like a good person, his laughter was ugly.

Before the soldiers continued to inquire, countless vines stretched out from under the mountain vine's cloak, attacking the group of soldiers.

"!!!"

The soldiers were shocked when they saw this, and panic followed immediately.

"He...they are not human!!"

"Run! The tree has become a spirit!!"

"It's a mountain god...it must be a mountain god!!"

"The mountain god has come to punish us!"

The screams and wailing sounded again, but the difference this time was that it was no longer the refugees who made these sounds, but the group of soldiers who raised their butcher knives at the refugees.

Shanteng and Zitong didn't hold back this time, they were not good men and women in the first place, and now they met a vicious enemy, they naturally wanted to retaliate in a more vicious way.

The soldiers tried to escape, and they might escape on fast horses, but the vines of the mountain vines would not let anyone go.

All the soldiers who tried to escape were eventually dragged back by Shantou with vines.

Because of the hot weather, the yellowed vines tightened their necks and choked their breathing. In just a dozen breaths, this group of people all died under the hands of Shanteng and Zitong.

Of course, they didn't forget to leave a life alive.

The general who was very majestic and gave orders just now became the "lucky guy".

"Listen to you, save a life."

Shantou threw the remaining generals to the ground and smiled at Zitong.

Zitong nodded, looking at the general who was trembling with fright, and was about to ask a question, when he suddenly heard a strange crackling sound behind him.

Several people looked back, only to see that the civilians who survived were all kneeling on the ground at this moment, saluting to them.

"Mountain God...thank you...thank you Mountain God!"

"Master Mountain God is here to save us!"

"Thank you, Lord Mountain God...Thank you..."

The refugees kowtowed to several people, more precisely, they saluted to the mountain vines. It was obvious that they regarded the mountain vines that could control the vines as mountain gods.

Shantou was also a little stunned when he saw this, he pointed to his face that didn't look like a good person, and asked:

"I... am the mountain god?"

"..."

Zitong didn't answer, she turned her head to look at the captured general, and asked:
"Why don't you let people go?"

"I... I don't know either! This is an order from Master Zhizhou! I just follow orders! Follow orders!!"

The general answered loudly as if frightened.

Zitong was about to continue asking, when an old man among the refugees stood up tremblingly, and said to several people:
"Master Mountain God, you...don't need to ask any more, they really don't know anything."

Only then did Zi Tong turn her gaze to the old man and asked:
"you know?"

"I...I don't know what's going on, I just know...in the fourth month of the severe drought in Shuzhou, when someone wanted to leave, the imperial court issued a ban, forbidding anyone to leave Shuzhou..."

The old man's wrinkled face was full of sadness and pain, and other refugees also echoed:

"Yeah, it's been months!"

"They didn't let us leave, and they didn't give us any food. They just wanted to starve us to death!"

"Some people have thought about rebelling... But... But we have been hungry for so long, and we have no armor on our bodies. Are we the opponents of this group of soldiers..."

"Everyone is dead, miserable...too miserable..."

The refugees narrated in one go, and the more Zitong listened, the more unhappy he felt.

Even the smile on Shanteng's face disappeared, he controlled the vine to raise the general, and asked:

"Do you have anything else to say?"

"I...I'm not...I'm just ordered...don't kill me, don't..."

click-

Shanto ignored the guy's begging for mercy, and after confirming that the guy couldn't ask anything, he snapped his neck.

Seeing this, the refugees not only didn't feel scared, some of them even showed the joy of getting their revenge.

Zi Tong watched this scene silently, she sighed and said:

"...Okay, now no one can stop you from leaving."

Zitong was about to leave with Shantou and the deacon after speaking, but unexpectedly, the group of refugees fell to their knees again.

"I beg the mountain god, please save us!"

"Mountain God, please save us! Even if we leave like this, we won't be able to go to the next town alive!"

"Yeah! We're at the end of our rope!"

The refugees knelt on the ground, begging for mercy from Zitong and his group.

Zi Tong looked at the group of refugees on the ground, pursed her lips and said, "We... are not mountain gods..."

But the refugees didn't listen, they still knelt on the ground, and some of them kowtowed vigorously, with blood and flesh on their foreheads.

Seeing this, Zi Tong couldn't help looking at Shan Teng, and Shan Teng said:
"Don't look at me, the young master told me to listen to you."

"..."

Shan Teng's skill of shaking the pot caused Zitong to have a headache again. After thinking about it, she simply lifted the hood on her head and said:
"Look, I'm not a mountain god."

"!"

Everyone saw the wolf ears on Zitong's head, and also noticed Zitong's purple pupils which were different from ordinary people.

If it were normal, Zi Tong's appearance would definitely be regarded as a monster, but I don't know which little clever ghost among the refugees, after a moment of silence, he shouted out:

"Wolf god! She is the wolf god beside the mountain god!"

"Wolf God!! Please show mercy and save us!"

"Twin gods who save the suffering!"

"..."

The refugees would use Poe to roll around and directly regard Zitong as a wolf god.

Zi Tong looked at their reverent eyes that didn't seem to be fake, and fell into silence for a while.

At this moment, she was a little undecided, until she saw a little girl in the crowd.

The little girl was not very old, only about five or six years old, her face was yellow and thin and her body was covered in dust. At this moment, she was kneeling and kowtowing with the adults beside her, yelling in a childish voice:

"Master Wolf God, save us!"

Looking at the little girl, Zitong suddenly couldn't utter the words of rejection.

For the first time in her life, after showing her ears, she did not receive disgusting eyes from others, but was treated like a fairy.
