Horizontal pushing martial arts: starting from the red alchemy bell jar

Chapter 22 What are you?
The ancestral hall of Tutou Village is inside the Earth Temple. The sculpture of the God of Earth is placed in the main hall, and the side hall is the ancestral hall worshiped by the ancestors of Tutou Village for generations.

Blue tiles and white walls, two entrances and two exits, although the area is not large, it is the place where the elders of Tutou Village decide the direction of the village on weekdays.

At the end of every month, everyone in the village will come here, not only to participate in the festival, worship the land god, but also to worship the ancestors.

Chu He quietly touched the periphery of the ancestral hall, and the blood jade in his arms reacted, which made him dare not go too deep, and could only watch the changes outside.

At this moment, there were not a few villagers who came here after hearing the news. At a glance, the compound was overcrowded and crowded.

There is nothing unusual about a small number of people, they run their own way, maintain order, and independently take care of those around them who are in a bad state of mind.

And some other people...

On the steps in front of the main hall of the Earth Temple, there are eight iron cages. Each cage is made of refined iron, with a few pieces of yellow paper attached to it. Villagers of different conditions are imprisoned in the cages.

They were laughing, crying, or hysterical, and another face changed inexplicably on their faces, making them look weird and weird.

"Sigh, what kind of god did our village offend? A group of people fell ill for no reason. Even Tie Zhu and the others were hit by evil spirits."

"It must be because we didn't enshrine the land god well. This time we must sincerely worship the land god and keep our family safe and sound."

"I see, it's better not to worship this land god, it's not useful at all, maybe all these weird things happened because of it..."

"Bah! What nonsense are you talking about? How come you are such an unfaithful and unfilial person in Tutou Village? Do you know how many years the Lord God has protected our village? Just talk nonsense with just one mouth!"

……

The villagers whispered, and once the observant young people found something abnormal about the land god, they would be scolded and disrespected by the old people.

So that no one dared to suspect that it was a sculpture problem.

Chu He swept his eyes away, silently retracted his gaze, shrunk his body in a corner, tried his best to avoid everyone's contact, and did not make a sound.

He was sure that there was at least one monster hidden in the cage, and some people even had several, all of which were sealed in the villagers' bodies.

What exactly do the village head and Han Zhong want to do?
Is it really to save your own life?
Without knowing the reason of the plan, Chu He would not know that the village head and others used the ability of stitching and stitching to embezzle flowers and trees, trying to forcibly occupy the stitched and weird body and realize an alternative way of immortality.

The human race has a lifespan limit, but there is no weirdness.

"Mr. Li! Is Mr. Li here?"

A skinny man squeezed out of the crowd and shouted towards the ancestral hall.

"What's the rush, what can't you come in and say?" An old but full of spirit voice slowly came from the side hall's ancestral hall.

The door opened, and a faint scent of sandalwood blew out from the ancestral hall. Several gray-haired, hale and hearty old men with crutches walked out of the ancestral hall gate, their eyes swept away, and finally fixed on the young man.

These are the village elders with the highest seniority and the most respected in the village. Their words are very important, and many people listen to them.

"Old Li..."

The man scratched his head, a little hesitant to speak.

"Come on, tell me, what's the matter?"

Mr. Li nodded in dissatisfaction and asked suspiciously.

When he got the answer, the man immediately said anxiously: "I went to the village chief's house, but no one answered no matter how I shouted. I opened the door and went in, but I didn't find anyone...the village chief...the village chief may be gone!"

The village chief is gone?
The other villagers looked at me and I looked at you with blank faces.

At this time, a villager suddenly shouted in the crowd: "Then why didn't you go to find Dean Hong? What if the village chief went to find Dean Hong?"

"This……"

The young man glanced at Mr. Li, hesitated to speak.

Only a few people in Hong Shouli Village knew about it. After all, Hong Shou left the village at this juncture, and Hong Shou's departure would cause a lot of uneasiness. However, only Hong Shou was qualified to go to the town to report on Li Village's destruction of the village.

So the village elders concealed the news of Hong Shou's departure.

This is also the reason why Han Zhong called his senior brothers to have a secret conversation in the middle of the night, because he didn't want people to know the news of Hong Shou's departure.

Hong Shou is highly skilled in martial arts, fair in doing things, and has the only armed force team in the village, who often acts as the backbone in major events.

At this moment, his fate can affect the emotions of many people.

Old Li's beard trembled, and he said without changing his face: "Hong Shou has left the village. He went to the town to do business, and he will be back tomorrow."

"Dean Hong left the village... this..."

The faces of many villagers changed slightly, but after hearing that they would return to the village tomorrow, they breathed a sigh of relief, but after all, they were a little worried about gains and losses...

Chuhe watched all this silently, and looked at the expressions of the villagers, and the image of the old man who laughed heartily appeared in his mind.

This old man does have such a charisma.

"Dean Hong is not here, what about Han Zhong?"

Mr. Li didn't want to talk more about Hong Shou, so he changed the topic.

"Uh...that...Senior Brother Han Zhonghan is gone too."

"What are they doing?" Another village elder tapped the floor vigorously with his crutches, complaining, "I called everyone together, but no one was there. Do you think we are idle?"

"I will personally ask the village chief about this matter afterwards and ask him to give an explanation." After waiting for a while, Elder Li felt dissatisfied.

"If you want to explain, I can give it to you now!"

Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded behind them. The old people were taken aback for a moment, then suddenly turned around, and found the village head and Han Zhong striding out from the main hall at the back, where the sculpture of the land god was enshrined.

"How did you come out of here?" The village elder, who had been somewhat dissatisfied with the village chief before, asked suspiciously: "We went in just now, and there was no one inside. How did you appear in the earth temple?"

The village chief looked fine at the moment, but his fingers tucked into his sleeves trembled slightly, and his eyes showed deep fatigue.

Han Zhong couldn't keep that warm smile all the time, there was still a ray of frost between the brows that was not wiped off in time, and there were different degrees of frostbite all over his body, as if he had rolled in a circle in the winter snow.

"How, why do we have to explain to you?"

The village head narrowed his eyes, looked at the village elder unkindly, and swept away his kind image in front of outsiders: "Old Wang, what kind of shit are you in this place, there is no place for you to talk!"

"you……"

Wang Laoer was very angry, and pointed at the village chief with trembling fingers.

"Okay! They're all old buddies who have been together for more than ten years, so what's the matter with talking? Is it necessary to quarrel in front of these juniors?"

Old Li's words were serious, and he glanced at the two people warningly.

"Hmph... I don't have the same knowledge as you."

Wang Lao Er knew that his status was not as high as that of the village head, and coupled with Li Lao's intervention, he could only throw up his sleeves angrily.

"Ha ha……"

The village chief sneered and declined to comment.

Seeing that the village chief's temperament has changed drastically, Mr. Li's heart sank.

"Li Fang, what happened to you today?"
