Ordinary people in the world of Uncle Nine

Chapter 213
...

The person Wang Heyuan was talking about was the one who escaped from Shangli back then. At that time, many people disappeared in the mountains, so many people came to him to inquire about the situation.

But he seemed to have been frightened in the mountains, and his mouth was full of nonsense, making it impossible for people to understand the truth from him.

"Based on my observation, Brother Li is a capable person. Does such a god who sacrifices living people really exist?"

The three gathered around a fire pile lit by a few logs picked up from the house. The firelight added brightness to the house. Fortunately, the windows of this house have been sealed with wooden boards to prevent the firelight from seeping out. Wang Heyuan asked Li Mu angrily. road.

They already knew that Li Mu was a Maoshan disciple who came out to travel, and that he had helped the two escape from the villagers' pursuit before, so in their perception, Li Mu was a master with unique skills.

Under the light of the fire, Li Mu could see clearly the appearance of Wang Heyuan's brother and sister. The childishness on their faces was still intact. They were obviously still teenagers. Looking at Li Mu's eyes, there was a glint of hope, as if he wanted to learn from him. Find some sense of identity here.

Li Mu frowned and pondered. In addition to the well-known righteous gods, there are also some mountain elves who have cultivated to the Tao and received incense from the world. There will be an extra layer of responsibility to protect the safety of one party, and they will not use living people as sacrifices, which will destroy their Taoism that they have practiced for many years.

Judging from Wang Heyuan's description, their mountain god needs living human sacrifices every three years. It can be seen that they are not serious Sanxians and can be called evil gods.

"From what you said, if you really have a mountain god here, it's just an evil god transformed from a mountain spirit."

Li Mu explained to the brother and sister the difference between righteous gods and Sanxians, as well as this kind of evil gods who sacrificed living people.

Hearing Li Mu's words, the brother and sister were even more frightened. If it was really like what Li Mu said, the evil god practiced by sucking the energy of living people. If his sister was sent up the mountain, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Brother Li, can you take action to get rid of our mountain god? I can give you a reward!"

Wang Heyuan looked at Li Mu expectantly, and took out a tightly packed small bag from his body and placed it in front of Li Mu.

"This is the savings I have accumulated. I originally wanted to use my sister to live after escaping. If you can get rid of this mountain god, we won't have to run away!"

In his eyes, Ninth Uncle Li Mu was the most powerful and amazing person he knew, so he made this request to him.

If they could get rid of the mountain god, they wouldn't have to leave their homes and wander outside, and they could continue farming their own three-acre field and feed them both well.

Li Mu picked up the small purse, opened it, and saw that there were some copper plates inside, probably not enough to make up an ocean, so he put the purse back into Wang Heyuan's hands, and Li Mu whispered to them when he was a little lost.

"You keep the money well. As for this mountain god... I will check it out and give you an explanation!"

Li Mu didn't reassure the two of them directly. Now that he's new here, he doesn't know much about the mountain god, and he doesn't know where the mountain god came from. If he goes rashly, it's easy to put himself in there!
After discussing the countermeasures, Li Mu asked the two brothers and sisters to stay here, and he went out to see the situation.

On the other side of the village, the priest was furious at the villagers at the entrance of the village because the escape of the brothers and sisters of the Wang family prevented the preparation of the sacrifice.

"What do you think of people, this can make people run away. You know the consequences when the time comes and the Lord Mountain God can't see the sacrifice!"

The priest wore a hat made of colorful cloth strips on his head, and his face was painted with ink as a big painted face. Around his neck was a necklace made of various animal skulls. He was wearing a dark red dress embroidered with patterns. The sacrificial uniform was sternly reprimanding the village.

"Master Priest, don't get excited, is there any other way to perform sacrifices?"

The village chief was an old man in his sixties, who was also wearing a red jacket at this time, and said in a low voice.

"How many women of the right age in your village are still not out of the cabinet? Let them out!"

The priest's words changed the faces of many people present, and their eyes flickered as they looked at each other. Seeing this scene, the priest's face darkened.

"What are you doing in a daze! Don't hurry up! You have wasted time and angered the mountain god. Your village will have no good fruit from now on! Go!!!"

Under the yelling of the priest and the urging of others, these people had to go back and bring their children here.

A row of school-age girls stood there anxiously and selected by the priest. From time to time, he leaned next to these girls and sniffed them like a dog, and then stood on one side and listened to them like the answers given to him by the mountain god, one after another. Being skipped, these unselected girls immediately ran back to their parents in tears of joy.

And those girls who have not accepted the selection are full of nervousness, holding the hem of their clothes tightly with both hands, waiting for the arrival of the priest.

"It's you!"

The priest stood in front of a girl with two braids and grabbed her by the hand and pulled her out of the queue. The girl's face lost all color in an instant, and tears filled her eyes.

The girl's mother fainted in her husband's arms when she saw this scene, and when her father saw the daughter who was being pulled and wanted to go up, the villagers on both sides blocked his surroundings in unison.

Before that, he was still one of the brothers and sisters chasing the Wang family, and now he became the target of the villagers.

Because of time, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, the priest only covered the girl with a red hijab, and then asked people to stuff her into a sedan chair parked at the entrance of the village. Then the suona sounded, and the sedan chair started. Following behind the priest, he carried the sedan chair up the mountain.

"Phew! At last we haven't missed the auspicious time!"

Looking at the team going away, the village chief wiped the sweat from his face and said with lingering fear.

This year it was their turn to pay homage to the village. Unexpectedly, the situation was full of various situations, and they almost became the sinners of the whole village. Thinking of this, the village scolded the people who guarded Wang Heyuan with a stern face here, which is not at all the humbleness in front of the priests before. .

"Third son! Don't think too much about it. It is her blessing that your girl can serve the mountain god. Thanks to her, we have been able to live in peace for the past three years! Please persuade your daughter-in-law to put the overall situation first. !"

The village chief came to the girl's father and tried to comfort him, and the villagers on the side were also helping him. This man called the third child was holding his wife in one hand, his brows were lowered, and he was silent, but his hands were tightly clenched into fists. , seems to be suppressing something.

　Dialogue is still my weakness. Actually, I didn’t think about the mountain god chapter. When I was thinking about the plot last night, I suddenly thought of this...
