The Legend of Changbai Spirit Snake

Chapter 5 Substitution of Sacrifice
"The mountain god married?"

Isn't this the plot of some TV series, or some other story club?Why is there such a thing?

"No, I just read it in the book." I answered grandma.

"Yesterday I went to chat with you at your grandma Li's house downstairs. Your grandma Li told me about a strange custom in her hometown. She said that in their place, every ten years, they would choose a little girl to marry. The mountain god said that he can bless them with good weather and no disease or disaster."

I smiled and said to my grandma: "These are natural weather, even if it is a mountain god, it will rain and plague, how can he control it."

"Yes, now that science and technology are advanced, those who grow crops and raise ginseng, those who should make money make money, and those who should lose money still lose money. They used to be backward, there was no high technology, and the family was poor, and the children could not support them. After planting it, now every family’s children are as expensive as gold, who would want to let their own children die for nothing.”

"Then don't worship."

"I have to give it away. The mountain god gave a dream to the people in Grandma Li's village, saying that if they don't enshrine, the mountain god will make their whole village die. In the past, the village used to pool money to buy little girls from traffickers and send them to the mountains to marry. To the God of the Mountain, the traffickers are now catching up, and you will be going back tomorrow, and you, Grandma Li, are so worried about this matter."

Originally, I just listened to this incident as a story, but when I heard my grandma say that their village actually buys children from human traffickers, I was so angry that I couldn’t drink the porridge. I told my grandma how could there be such villagers and God, this god is to keep people safe, but he is good, and he wants to kill people. Doesn't anyone in that village ask someone to clean up that mountain god?
"I didn't dare to invite you before, but now your grandma Li revealed to me that people in her village also have this kind of thinking, but I don't know where to find someone, so I remembered that you are not a gangster, and I want to ask if you are good. Introduced by the fairy family, and save Grandma Li and those little girls."

Grandma asked about this, it was really difficult for me, the only people I have contacted with immortals are Ying Gu and Liu Longting, and I have to consider the identity of the other mountain god, some of our horse immortals must not be able to beat him , but I remembered that Liu Longting also seemed to have some cultivation, and there were a lot of brothers and sisters in the family, maybe he knew some masters or something.

I first verbally agreed to grandma, and told grandma that I would first ask Liu Longting what he said, if he had connections, he might be able to cure the mountain god.

When grandma heard what I said, the wrinkles on her face deepened and she praised me for being a good granddaughter, then peeled eggs for me and asked me to eat more.

Seeing grandma so happy, my heart was also warm. I quickly ate my breakfast, turned around and went to the incense hall, put a few sticks of incense on Liu Longting, and invited him out.

Now at home, with no one else around, Liu Longting turned into a white snake and slid down from the incense stand, coiled on the cushion of the chair, and told me that he could actually deal with that mountain god, and he didn't need to invite anyone else, just wanted to ask Do I have any ideas?
Originally, I was still thinking about how to tell Liu Longting about this matter. After all, I am not very familiar with him now, so I must be humble to ask him for help. I didn’t expect him to directly answer the question I wanted to ask, which made me unable to bear it. I can't help but praise Liu Longting, he is so powerful.

As soon as Liu Longting heard what I said, he raised the snake's head, got off the chair, wrapped it around my neck along my arm, looked at me with a pair of small round eyes, and snorted: "You know, I know most of it too, and we're separated by an open door, and I can't hear you talking to your grandma?"

Not only why, looking at Liu Longting's white body lazily wrapped around my neck is really cute, and listening to what he just said, he instantly became cute and cute in my eyes Meng Da, so she leaned towards him full of joy: "I thought you couldn't hear it, but the other party is a mountain god, aren't all mountain gods very powerful, how do you deal with him?"

When I said this, I stretched out my hand and gently touched Liu Longting's white head. Liu Longting didn't hide, but pressed me tighter, but maybe it was because he felt it was inconvenient to talk to me like this, and he changed again. He returned to his human body, stood in front of me, and looked out the window with his back behind my back.

"But all gods, especially the gods of mountains and rivers, survive in the world because of people's beliefs. The stronger people's belief in him, the more powerful his divine power will be. On the contrary, if people say he is a demon, he is a demon. That place The villagers have lost faith in the mountain god for a long time, the mountain god has taken off the cloak of a god, without the support of faith, he is also a spirit of cultivation like me, since this is the case, we can give it a try.”

After all, I didn't fight that mountain god, and I don't know exactly how powerful Liu Longting is, so I didn't ask for details, and simply asked Liu Longting: "Then what are your chances of beating him?"

"Basically, I have practiced for more than seven hundred years after all."

When Liu Longting said this, he glanced sideways at me, the sunlight that had just risen outside shrouded his body through the glass window, and his face was fair and handsome, as if carefully carved from a piece of white jade. The more I wanted to touch his face forward, and ask him why his face was so beautiful.

I'm relieved now, but I still want to ask Liu Longting about one thing.

"You came to see me last night?"

"So what? I want to ask what I did to you?" Liu Longting raised his eyebrows and answered crisply.

I Cao!I just wanted to ask Liu Longting what he did to me last night, but he answered so confidently that I was a little embarrassed to continue the conversation, so I told him it was nothing, and we will go back with Grandma Li tomorrow.

Liu Longting looked at me with the corners of my mouth curled into a smile, didn't speak, it was a tacit consent, and then disappeared in place, leaving behind a trace of morning sun like gold.

I told grandma exactly what Liu Longting said, and grandma went downstairs to tell grandma Li the good news. Grandma Li came to my house with several boxes of gifts and said that this time I was really troublesome. I heard from my grandma that now that I have become a fairy family, she also has plans to invite me, but she is afraid that I am a newcomer and will not be able to deal with it, and she is afraid that I will be involved. Now I take the initiative to help her, and there is still such a big Sure enough, she really wanted to thank me for the girls who died, and for the people in their villages.

Grandma Li was a little embarrassed to thank me. When I took the bus back to the village with her the next day, I asked Grandma Li why she was married a long time ago and was not considered a member of the village. Why did she go to the village? Follow this rule?

It’s okay if you don’t ask me. As soon as I asked me this, Grandma Li burst into tears: “I can’t escape, I can’t escape. Everyone in our village grew up drinking his mountain spring. He remembers every one of us. , one of my older sisters was chosen to sacrifice to the mountain god, was dragged up to a deep mountain by adults, and starved to death in the mountain temple..."

I have never experienced this kind of thing, and I can't imagine that in a civilized modern society, there are such backward and cruel things. Seeing Grandma Li crying so sadly, I didn't know how to comfort her for a while...

Grandma Li’s hometown is so remote that it couldn’t be more remote. We first took a bus, then a train, and a passenger car. Finally, we had to take a mountain bike and walk a remote mountain road for more than ten miles before we arrived at the village. Qipan Village, behind the village are rolling high mountains.

The village is exactly as I thought, dilapidated and out of shape, and those who stay in the village are old people in their [-]s and [-]s. Most of the people in the village, like Grandma Li, have moved out. Now because of A custom that cannot be violated hastily rushed back.

The village head is an old man, his face was blown into several deep gullies by the mountain wind, and he was holding a pipe in his hand. When Grandma Li told him that she had found someone to deal with the mountain god, his expression was still numb, and he let out a hum. , be regarded as agreed.

The sacrifice was just these few days. After I settled down in Grandma Li's hometown, I asked Liu Longting how we can deal with this mountain god?

Liu Longting was not nervous at all, he showed his body in front of me, looked at my whole body with wanton eyes, and said to me: "Use you instead of the girl to be enshrined, and sacrifice to the mountain god."
