The glory of the king

Chapter 254 Offerings
"From then on, as the village chief, I realized that something was wrong!

Why did these two people die in the same place, on the same date in different months, and their flesh was eaten clean by some creature?

Some villagers speculated, could it be that mountain ghosts or mountain gods appeared on the mountain, and they would eat one person on a regular basis?

But most people don’t believe in evil, and neither do I.But what I believe is that there are many things in this world that we cannot understand, and forces that cannot be resisted...

After that, another peaceful month passed, and the third month turned out to be exactly as I expected. On the same day, another person disappeared...

This time missing, the big guys didn't even have to think about it, they went directly to the mountain depression very tacitly, and found the body of the missing person, and the broken clothes around the body symbolized the identity of the third body. "

Wei Long paused at this point, swallowed his saliva and took a breath, before continuing:

"Since then, everyone has fully understood that something has happened in the mountain. There must be something weird that has occupied the mountain, and it has to eat a person regularly to be stable.

Since then, people have panicked and no one dares to go up the mountain easily.

But our village is closely connected with the mountain after all, how can we live without the mountain?
So everyone discussed later that they would not go up the mountain on the day of the accident, and prepare an extra copy of what they needed one day in advance, and go to the village to borrow what was not enough.

We thought we would survive this.

That day seemed peaceful, as if nothing happened, but the next day, all of us were horrified to find that another person was missing in the village!
No one went up the mountain this time, but someone was still missing!This time we can be sure that something is indeed staring at our village.

Without even thinking about it, we went to the mountain depression again, and the result is needless to say... Four lives in a row made us realize that this disaster cannot be avoided without going up the mountain..."

After hearing this, Peasley has basically figured out the ins and outs of the whole matter.

He frowned, looked at the village chief and said:

"So later, you thought that the mountain god needed a living sacrifice on a regular basis. In order to reduce the casualties in your village, you thought of a way, that is, start to attack the people who pass by your village, and let them make sacrifices instead of you. product, isn't it?"

The village head sighed lightly, but did not deny it.He just said helplessly:

"We don't want to do this either, but after all we are just ordinary people who want to live a good life. When facing death, ordinary people like us can do anything!

Sometimes we have no outsiders passing by before the sacrifice day, so people from our own village can only draw lots, and the person who gets the death lottery will be forcibly designated as the next sacrifice..."

Peasley did the math, three years, one person a month, which means they have harmed at least [-] people including fellow villagers.

In order to live for oneself, he went to disregard the lives of others. Such evil deeds should be punished!

However, Peasley also knew in his heart that these villagers were not the original sin, they were also victims, and the real culprit was the mysterious existence in the mountain, the so-called mountain god.

Originally, Peasley was not the kind of meddlesome person. There were a lot of such messes in the world. He was not a doctor who can help the world, so how could he meddle in everything.

But he changed his mind, if he helped the people in this village to investigate clearly and solve this problem, would he gain a lot of gratitude?

So in order to complete the system task earlier, he looked at the village chief and the young woman in white with a look of panic, and said indifferently:
"I don't know if what you said is true, but I am willing to believe you once. Let me ask you, since there are monsters in the mountains, why don't you move out of this village and live elsewhere?"

Wei Long was silent for a moment, then suddenly heaved a long sigh: "I don't know if my lord can understand, there is a thing called hometown. There is a feeling called nostalgia.

Most of us here have lived here for generations, and have deep affection with every piece of land here.

It is true that many young people have left here to go to other places, but for those of us who are older, if we have a way to stay here, we are unwilling and reluctant to leave.

That's why we made such a bad move and killed innocent passers-by. "

Hearing the word "hometown", Pisley's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but think of his home in Huangquan.

He suddenly felt that he could understand the village chief's approach very well, and he felt a little less repulsive and more understanding and sympathetic.

The boy pondered for a moment, then said:

"Since that's the case, then I wonder if the village chief is willing to let me help you find out this matter so that you can avoid future troubles forever?"

The village chief's eyes suddenly lit up, but he seemed to remember something, and the light in his eyes dimmed again.

"Although the adults have such good intentions, let's forget it."

Wei Long said with a gloomy expression.

Peasley couldn't help being puzzled:
"Why is this?"

The village head sighed again, and said: "You don't know, we once reported to the officials, but not only did not solve the problem, but also extorted a lot of money by those officers and soldiers.

Now, please come to you, the honorable warrior of glory, maybe we can solve the problem, but we can't afford such an expensive reward. "

"So it's because of the reward..." Peasley smiled, "Don't worry, I don't need any reward! I just need you to be grateful. Of course, I also hope that you will stop doing it for your own sake. benefit, to harm others.

This time, I will let you off for the time being. If you dare to do something disrespectful to the two of us next time, don't blame me for killing you! "

The village chief was overjoyed when he heard the words, and together with the young woman in white, kowtowed to Pisley again and again.

But Peasley listened cheerfully to Daji in his heart:

"Get gratitude from Weilong +10."

"Get the gratitude value +9 from Chu Xiu'er."

"Current accumulated gratitude: 132."

……

In the next three days, Pisley and Ning Xuan spent some rest in this village and got to know the situation with the villagers.

According to the villagers, they built a small altar two years ago in the mountain where the bones were found. On the 10th of every month, as long as a living sacrifice is placed on the altar, there will be no more missing villagers in their village. something happened.
