There's No Witch I Can't Wash

... I don't understand what you're talking about. Nothing happened in our village.As for why I stay indoors at night, it is because there is really nothing to do, there are too few things for lighting, and most people have to get up early to go to work, so it is normal to go to bed early.

"Is it really like this? Brother Big Zhuang was afraid of something just now, and he even said that the thing you were afraid of went to the village chief." Your family... is really deceiving people!Da Zhuang couldn't help clenching his fists, but he could only show some resentment on his face, but he didn't dare to say a word.In the darkness, he couldn't see clearly the face of the man sitting in front of him, but he seemed to be able to barely make out that the man was smiling.

...I was played by the other party between the drums, and it was because of my own stupidity that I caused this situation.Thinking of this, Da Zhuang was also discouraged, with a listless look on his face.

"Well, it's a little dark, and the conversation like this seems insincere, let's make it a little brighter." Lin Ye said to himself, then snapped his fingers lightly.The light source emerged from his fingertips, it was a dreamlike silver-white light, like a shining star.The light source in the darkness is very bright, easily illuminating the whole room, but this light source is not dazzling, but gives people a warm and comfortable feeling.

Da Zhuang, who was still flustered and weak at first, calmed down a lot after seeing this light source, and the man suddenly found that he was not so nervous anymore.

Do you still want to keep it a secret?It doesn't seem necessary. I don't want to have anything to do with this village. If I can leave this village, if the three people in front of me can take me away from here.After calming down, Da Zhuang's mind became active, and he suddenly realized that the three people in front of him were also an opportunity for him.

You guys... you probably didn't come here because of that witch, did you? "

"Oh, how do you see it?"

"According to what you said, that witch was powerful and ruthless. I don't know how many people died in her hands, but you didn't mean to be nervous at all. And I always feel that you seem to be very interested in our village. From the beginning to the present, you have said so much because you just want to find out the secrets of the village from my mouth.

"Even from the very beginning []], you deliberately created a mysterious atmosphere so that I would say things that shouldn't be said when I panicked.

The man's words made Lin Ye look at him with admiration. He carefully looked at this young man who looked simple and honest, and opened his mouth in surprise.

"I didn't see it, I thought you were the kind of idiot who couldn't use his brain.

"I'm just a coward, showing some self-deprecating expression, Da Zhuang seems to bow his head in resignation.

"If you want to know about the village, let me tell you. In fact, this is not a secret. After all, our village has been here for thousands of years."

Chapter 25 The Sacrifice of the Beast

"Actually, I know more or less about the secrets of your village. The reason why your village can stand beside the endless forest should be because of offering sacrifices, right?" Before Da Zhuang opened his mouth, Lin Ye took the lead. Say so.A look of astonishment appeared on the man's face, and then he nodded with a wry smile.

"Your Excellency is wise, you guessed this in such a short period of time. Our village is indeed relying on sacrifices to gain a firm foothold in such a dangerous place.

"It's not a guess, it's just that I have read some ancient books before, which recorded some similar things. Because I have never come to the endless forest to confirm it, so I have always thought that the things recorded in the book are just absurd It’s just a story, but I didn’t expect such an inhumane thing to be true. Lin Ye tapped his fingers on the table lightly while talking, he shook his head and sighed, the expression on his face seemed to be a little angry and distressed. I believe it. Hearing Lin Ye's accusation, Da Zhuang bowed his head in embarrassment, but soon Lin Ye added another sentence.

"Of course, I'm not here to accuse you. You have your own way of life. It's not easy to survive in a place like Endless Linhai. As an outsider, I stand on the moral high ground and make sarcastic remarks like this. It's too shameless. Of course, that was in the past, now that we have come here and know these things here, then we will find ways to help you make changes, how should we change?" Da Zhuang opened his mouth, In fact, he always dreamed of changing, and dreamed of leaving this depressing, cold, and even neurotic village.Because his parents died as unclean people and offended the patron saint of the village, so he has received many people's eyes since he was a child.The vast majority of people in the village regard him as an alien or even a pest. If it weren't for the fact that there are a few brothers who grew up together in the village who could speak a few words, I'm afraid he would have been discriminated against by the people in the village. Are you insane in your eyes?

"Have you ever thought about leaving this abnormal village and living in another place? I know this is not an easy thing. The road is far away and full of dangers, but we can help you and protect you through this What do you think about going to a safe place to live in a dangerous land?"

...Is it really possible? Dare I ask what are the identities of the adults? His eyes widened involuntarily, and Da Zhuang trembled all over. He stared at Lin Ye, and spoke in disbelief. The thing he had been thinking about all this time, could it be realized so easily? Did he really Is it so easy to leave this village and live in a new place? Will he really be accepted when he goes to another village? If those people care about his birth and ask about his past, how should he respond?

"Our identities are too clear for you to understand. You just need to know that we are members of the imperial court. No matter what, the villagers in your village are the people of Kyushu, and naturally they are also the people of our imperial court. Help you Solving some difficulties and solving problems for you is what our court officials should do.

"Don't worry, the imperial court will help you arrange everything. It will definitely allow you to integrate into the new environment and start a new life smoothly. If you can bring more people away from the village, the imperial court can find a way to help you. It is not impossible for you to find a place with fertile land and let you rebuild the village.

Da Zhuang might have had some doubts before, but now after hearing Lin Ye say that he is from the imperial court, the doubts in his heart have completely disappeared.

He had heard about the imperial court many times since he was a child, and even said that for a while he had been dreaming that the imperial court could come to this remote village and take him away from here.Although this endless forest is also the territory of the imperial court, since ancient times there has not been a single soldier stationed there.The people living here have never made contributions or paid taxes to the imperial court. Why does the imperial court take care of their lives?Even whether the imperial court knew that there was a village here was uncertain.But now, he heard such words from Lin Ye, knowing that the imperial court actually cared about a small village in this remote place, and even specially sent people to help them move and relocate, Da Zhuang couldn't help feeling a little bit burst into tears.

"My lord's great kindness and great virtue are unforgettable for a villain. As my lord said, not everyone can bear this kind of life in the village. The village left. It’s just that the road is high and the water is far away, and the road is difficult and dangerous. Many people have this idea but don’t have the ability.”

"How many people want to leave the village?" Lin Ye asked Ruo, Da Zhuang thought for a moment and then replied.

"There are about ten people.

"Are you sure you can persuade these people to leave with you?"

"I'm afraid it will be very difficult, not only because of the difficult and dangerous journey, they also have other concerns.

Oh, what are the concerns? '

"My lord knows that our village can survive in such a dangerous place beside the Endless Forest by offering sacrifices, but does your lord know who is the object of our sacrifice?"

"This is exactly what I'm curious about. The powerful existence in this endless forest can only be a beast, right? It is rumored that the most powerful beast in the endless forest has earth-shaking power, but I don't know what it is Is it true? Listening to Lin Ye's question, Da Zhuang showed bitterness and fear.

"I don't know much about the patron saint of the village. I only know that the existence is called the God of Black Water by the people in the village. Every ten years, the village will select a young and beautiful woman and send it to the forest. To the God of Black Water. Twenty years ago, my parents sent sacrifices into the forest as palanquin bearers and never came back. At that time, I was just a child and had no idea what happened. The adults in the village They were very flustered, saying that the Black Water God was offended, and disaster was about to hit the village. Then three months later, the sacrifice that was sent to the forest returned by itself, and not only that, she was pregnant. Before, Lin Ye was still thinking about what the beasts in the woods were doing for the sacrifices. Ten years would not be enough to eat one. But now after hearing the words "pregnant", he suddenly revealed Even more weird look. This fierce... I really enjoy it.

Chapter 26 The Plan to Kill God

"The pregnant woman came back to the village in a frenzy, saying something we couldn't understand. After that, the village seemed to be cursed. Three strange things happened one after another. Did you notice the weirdness on Lin Ye's face? Da Zhuang continued talking, but Lin Ye interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Wait, if something is wrong, the sacrifice was dedicated to that black water god, and now that the sacrifice is back and pregnant, shouldn't she be pregnant with that god's child? Isn't this a good thing? '" It would be great if this is the case... It's a pity that she is not pregnant with a child of a god. The parents of the woman who was sacrificed finally couldn't bear the pressure and told the truth. The woman who was chosen as a sacrifice and the village One of the men in the book had an affair, and she was not pure when she was dedicated to the black water god'.

It turned out to be the case.

Wow, even if a young and beautiful woman is used as a sacrifice, it must be a pure virgin. This black water god really enjoys it.

"After knowing the truth, all the people in the village fell into extreme fear. I was young at the time, so I didn't know the specific situation at all, but then many people in the village died suddenly for no reason, and the food production was also greatly reduced. We have been attacked by ferocious beasts several times. In fact, ten years ago, our village was at least twice as large as it is now. In just twenty years, it has become what it is now. Da Zhuang said that if , The deep sense of fear is still engraved on this man's face. For him, this mysterious black water god is like a real god, who can easily control their life and death. He was too embarrassed because he was able to leave the village before. He was overjoyed, but now thinking of the horror of the Black Water God, he became afraid again, would the 'Black Water God' really let them leave the village easily.

"But it seems that the situation in your village is not so bad now. Otherwise, you wouldn't let us outsiders enter the village so easily, would you?" Da Zhuang opened his mouth and hesitated for a long time, but Unable to say a word, Mo Xi, who had been standing by and silent, suddenly broke in.

"Presumably this is because, in the past twenty years, you have increased the number of sacrifices?"

...In the past twenty years, the village has sacrificed twenty young girls, which made the "Black Water God" stop angry. Da Zhuang said this, and then broke down in tears. It seems that the girl he likes also It must have become a sacrifice. Lin Ye raised his eyebrows. Originally, he thought that although the village had done such things as sacrifices, it was a helpless move after all. However, the sacrifices in twenty years Twenty young men, this is simply frenzied. Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about these things. Whether this village is hopeless or not, he will know when he finds the "Black Water God" and kills him.

Without the blessing of the Black Water God, the residents here would have to move even if they don't want to, right?

Of course, Lin Ye was also a little uncertain about the strength of the so-called 'Black Water God', but judging by the opponent's means, it shouldn't be too high.Thinking of this, Lin Ye lowered his head to look at the face of the woman in his arms, and saw the somewhat indifferent and stern look on Miaoyin's face. He also realized that this optimist and silly girl was also angry.

"Miaoyin is thinking, should I meet that black water god?"

"Well, let's kill this scoundrel. Hearing the man ask herself this question, Miao Yin's face also showed a smile again. She took a posture and sat in the man's arms. Miaoyin said such words in a coquettish tone, but after hearing her words, Da Zhuang beside him fell to his knees on the ground with a plop in fright.

...Your Excellency must not force it!The Black Water God is a god, if he offends the god, he will definitely die! "

"Are you so afraid of that black water god? Since you're so afraid that you still want to leave this village, aren't you afraid that the omnipotent black water god will find you?" Lin Ye looked a little funny, but hearing him say that Said Ruo, Da Zhuang's face is even more difficult to look at.

He was just too happy to get carried away, now that he realizes the horror of the Black Water God, he really doesn't know what to do.
