As soon as this statement came out, everyone in Gosying Village was in an uproar.
For most ordinary people, they just feel that this matter is extremely cruel, but they do not understand the horror and consequences of it.
But as a disciple of Tianxuan Mountain, Ziyu has naturally heard all kinds of rumors about foreign gods.
She raised her eyebrows, stepped forward and looked at Liu Handou and asked, "Do you want to summon an alien god?"
Liu Handou looked pale and shook his head repeatedly: "I really don't know this matter! I was also coerced by the Ghost Crow Village. I only know that these crow slaves were sacrificed as sacrifices and fed to the Crow God, but the Crow God
What it is and what it looks like, I have never seen a small one before!"
Liu Handou said this, his face looked pale, and his forehead was covered with sweat. He didn't look like he was lying.
"In the past, Ghost Crow Village also needed crow slaves, but why did they need to plunder so many crow slaves from various villages this time?" Chu Qingxiao asked again.
Compared to Ziyu's surprise, Chu Qingxiao was quite prepared for this matter.
In fact, after meeting Na Nangong Yue yesterday, Chu Qingxiao faintly realized that something was wrong.
But although he was prepared, he did not expect that the matter had become so serious.
"This..." Liu Handou looked hesitant.
Such hesitation was obviously not something Chu Qingxiao could tolerate, and there was frost in his eyes.
Liu Handou, who felt this, hurriedly said: "It's not that Xiao Xiao deliberately concealed it, but Xiao Xiao is just an ordinary guy in Gui Ya Village. He doesn't know much. What I know about this matter is only from what others say.
I don’t know whether the rumors are true or not, and I’m afraid I’ve misled you young heroes!”
"It doesn't matter if you say so!" Chu Qingxiao said.
Liu Handou grunted and swallowed, and then said: "I also heard from people that the village owner has lived for more than a hundred years, all by sacrificing living people to the Crow God. The Crow God gave pills to make the village
The Lord maintains the appearance of youth.”
"But recently, it seems that the village leader is no longer satisfied with just maintaining his physical youth. He wants the Crow God to come here and give him more gifts, so he arrests crow slaves and sacrifices to the Crow God as sacrifices.
, speed up the pace of Crow God’s arrival…”
After hearing this, Chu Qingxiao thought to himself: It is indeed so.
"It's really an alien god!" Ziyu's face changed suddenly when she heard this. Liu Handou's description was almost the same as those events recorded about the arrival of alien gods.
It's nothing more than outer gods giving benefits to believers, and then when the number and greed of believers expand to a certain level, outer gods will promise more generous rewards and let believers raise sacrifices to help him come here.
This is different from Zhang Quan being possessed by an external god.
The alien gods who come through the demon species can completely retain part of their strength. Although it is only 20 to 30%, for a land, the strength of 20 to 30% is enough to cause catastrophe. Moreover, the alien gods can also use continuous
Kill or recruit followers to further enhance your own strength.
Until he recovers and even surpasses his full combat power.
And every time something like this happens, a city or even several cities will be devastated.
"In that case, aren't Boss and Old Huang very dangerous? And Old Du and the others who were kidnapped yesterday, aren't they..." Guan Zijin on the side also changed his face when he heard this, and his expression became ugly.
However, Liu Handou seemed to have found an opportunity to win the favor of everyone, and hurriedly said at that time: "I heard that most of the sacrifices in the previous days were just ordinary villagers, and the sacrifices on the last day were the ones to summon the Crow God.
The top priority, so Commander Huang and Chief Yuejian Village should be fine in the short term."
Hearing this, Guan Zijin also became happy and quickly looked at the woman aside.
The woman also quickly stepped forward and took out a thick stack of banknotes from her arms.
"All the money in our village is here, including what Brother Chu and Boss brought back before, and what I raised in the village after I came back yesterday. Brother Chu, let's see if this money is enough to redeem Boss and Lao Huang!"
Guan Zijin looked at Chu Qingxiao expectantly and asked.
Chu Qingxiao was stunned and took the money. There was a thick stack of banknotes. Below was the one hundred tael banknotes that Chu Qingxiao brought back, but on top were some banknotes with very small denominations. Some of them looked to be quite old.
Apparently it was life-saving money carefully hidden by the villagers.
There are also a lot of broken silver and copper plates placed at the top. This money, as Guan Zijin said, is probably all the people in Cangying Village can afford.
Chu Qingxiao couldn't help but be a little touched. At this moment, he raised his head and looked at the people in the courtyard, and they also looked at Chu Qingxiao.
There are old people, children, women and men.
Their eyes flashed with anxiety about the future and worry about the people at the helm of their family.
But it is also wrapped in expectations and even prayers.
They want to save the girl who has been protecting them.
But they don't have a sword that can hold tightly, and they don't have the skills to shuttle through the enemy's formation.
They can only take out what they cherish and give everything they can in exchange for that girl.
However, these things that are already the most precious things to ordinary people are worthless in the eyes of the leader of Ghost Crow Village.
Chu Qingxiao looked at everyone's expectant eyes and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"These things cannot be exchanged for people!" But at this moment, an old but angry voice came out.
After hearing this, everyone turned their heads and looked sideways, only to see an old man with white eyes walking towards him.
It's Mr. Xu.
"Guiyazhai wants to summon the foreign gods to come to the world. Not to mention a mere thousand taels of silver, they will not stop even if they bring mountains of gold and silver." Mr. Xu said this.
Everyone's faces became a little ugly at this moment.
"Then the boss and Lao Huang..." Guan Zijin also turned pale and looked lonely.
When Chu Qingxiao saw this, he silently put the coins back into the woman's hands, and said under the puzzled eyes of everyone: "Don't worry, you can't get Yue Jian and Lao Huang back with this money, but I will rescue Yue Jian.
"
"No matter how difficult it is, I promise I will save her."
Chu Qingxiao's tone was firm, and everyone was stunned, but then they heard Chu Qingxiao say again: "But before that, there are still some things that I want to discuss with you."
…
"Sanniang is dead?" Chu Qingxiao told everything that happened in Wancheng, of course hiding some things about Zhuyin's divine blood that could not be told to everyone.
When everyone who was already worried about their future situation heard this, their faces darkened.
Not only was she sad for Sanniang's death, but she was also uneasy about the fate she was about to suffer.
"The way this world is... we people probably deserve to die..." Even people like Guan Zijin couldn't help but sigh in a low voice at this moment.
Seeing that they were in a low mood, Chu Qingxiao quickly comforted them again: "Everyone! Now is not the time to be sad. Although I didn't find a solution to Ghost Crow Village this time, I found a place for you in Lingque Town.
Someone has already arranged the household registration there. As long as you arrive at Lingque Town, you can change your appearance and live in Dayu again with a new identity, and you no longer have to live in fear and precarious life in Gosying Village!"
When these words came out, everyone around him was stunned, their eyes were a little strange, and there were bursts of whispers among the crowd.
Being able to shed the identity of a bandit and live as a normal person again in this two continents is what most villagers in Goshawk Village dream of.
However, Dayu has always been strict about the management of household registration. It is not easy for one person to change the household registration again, let alone hundreds of people.
It's not that everyone doesn't believe Chu Qingxiao, it's just that this matter is too unbelievable, which inevitably makes it difficult for everyone to accept it for a while.
"It seems that your old friend from Tianxuan Mountain is not an ordinary person." When Mr. Xu heard this, he sighed inexplicably.
Chu Qingxiao just looked at everyone and said again: "Although I have only joined Goshawk Village for a month or two, Zhaozhao and I have received a lot of help from you, and we regard you as family from the bottom of our hearts. Please don't doubt us."
"Ghost Crow Village is aggressive. Taixuan Mountain is already a place of right and wrong. If you stay here, things will only get worse. You should make a decision early!"
Chu Qingxiao's attitude was sincere and his tone was a little anxious.
While everyone was still hesitating, Guan Zijin said: "I think Brother Chu is right. If you stay here, you will die. It's better to believe Brother Chu for a while!"
It wasn't that everyone didn't want to leave, but they just lacked the courage to take this step. Guan Zijin's statement undoubtedly gave everyone some confidence, and more and more people agreed.
"But didn't you just say that the imperial court would send people to suppress the bandits? The road to Cangzhou is likely to be blocked by the imperial army. Should we take a detour to Huanzhou?"
But someone asked again at this time.
As soon as these words came out, everyone who had looked expectantly just now suddenly looked worried again.
If we take a detour through Huanzhou, it will take at least two months to get to Lingque Town. With so many people traveling together, it will be a big trouble if we attract the attention of interested people on the way.
"I discussed it with Miss Meng. Miss Meng is an old acquaintance of one of the generals in the army. We want to try to contact him to see if we can get him to be accommodating and let us leave.
" Chu Qingxiao said.
While rushing to Gosying Village last night, Chu Qingxiao and everyone discussed this matter and came up with this method.
Maybe Nangong Yue would not sell Meng Jin's face, but Meng Ziliang is the husband-in-law appointed by their future leader, and the probability of success is still very high if he comes forward.
Originally, according to the original plan, Meng Ziliang was asked to explore Nangong Yue first, but now the situation on Taixuan Mountain was not optimistic. They had no choice but to take the risk and let everyone pack their things and get there in the shortest possible time.
Time to set off, if the junction of Cangzhou and Taixuan Mountain has not been fortified at that time, it is naturally the best. If it has been targeted, then it can only depend on Meng Ziliang's performance.
Although this approach is a bit risky, since they killed the people of Guiya Village today, there is no way that Guiya Village will let them go. If they stay, they will definitely be attacked by the main force of Guiya Village. It is better to take the risk and fight for them.
A bit of life.
"What about you, Brother Chu?" After making these arrangements, Guo Zijin looked at Chu Qingxiao and asked.
Chu Qingxiao said: "I have to find a way to save Yue Jian."
"There are so many experts in Ghost Crow Village and they are heavily guarded. How can you save them all by yourself?" Guan Zijin asked worriedly.
"I don't have a plan at the moment." Chu Qingxiao said helplessly, "But no matter what, I can't watch Yue Jian fall into danger."
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Guan Zijin could not say any more.
"I'm with you!" At this moment, Chu Zhaozhao suddenly said.
When Chu Qingxiao heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said: "Zhaozhao, this matter is dangerous, I..."
"It is precisely because of the danger that I want to work with you. Song Guicheng and the others saved more than just you back then. I have also accepted their kindness. We must repay this debt together!" Chu Zhaozhao said resolutely.
.
"Then I have to come too?" Ziyu on the side looked displeased, "My junior uncle asked me to watch you two. If you do this, I will have to die with you!"
Although Ziyu's tone was filled with anger, she stepped forward without hesitation and walked to the two of them.
This duplicity made Chu Qingxiao and Chu Zhaozhao couldn't help but smile at each other at that time.
Although the Meng family brothers also wanted to go along with them, they still needed to negotiate on the way to Cangzhou, so they had no choice but to give up.
The matter was settled in this way, and without further delay, everyone took action and went home to pack what they wanted to take away.
The small courtyard suddenly became quiet.
At this moment, Mr. Xu walked up to Chu Qingxiao. Although he was blind, he stretched out his hand and accurately pointed out the places where Chu Qingxiao, Chu Zhaozhao and Ziyu stood.
"you……"
"follow me."
After he said this, he turned around and left slowly, regardless of how the three of them reacted.
