Time has entered September, and there is only half a month left before the Witch Lord Conference.
The weather is getting colder and cooler, with mist filling the air in the morning and evening. The weeds on the riverbanks and large areas of farmland have also turned yellow, and the mountains around the valley have fallen leaves. Winter is getting closer.
The little witch's search for divine revelation continues, but she still has no clue.
And her mood became more and more restless. She didn't want to eat or sleep. In just seven or eight days, she lost a lot of weight. She became weak and haggard. She started to stagger when she walked. She was not thinking all day long.
On the road to the temple, there were a large group of women running around, and the whole person was already in a trance and starting to feel crazy.
Muba and all the tribesmen are becoming more and more worried.
But I don't know what to do.
After all, it is the relationship between the witch and the gods. They don't understand anything, so they can't do anything.
Even Xu Chen began to examine whether he had really thought wrong. Maybe there were gods in this era. Otherwise, why would a good little girl suddenly say that there was a big eye watching her all day long?
The little witch eats and lives with everyone, and the food is strictly inspected and prepared by mature and steady women. There is absolutely no possibility of food poisoning.
And Xu Chen also knows the little witch very well. Although she is a little withdrawn and taciturn on weekdays, she is actually a lively, pure and intelligent girl. She has absolutely no mental illness and is an extremely normal human being.
What Xu Chen couldn't understand the most was that the strange feeling the little witch had only came from the day the temple was completed.
During the process of building the temple, the little witch went up the mountain almost every day to watch the progress of the temple's construction. Apart from being surprised by Xu Chen's plan, she never had any other abnormal behavior.
Therefore, all the so-called illusions or hallucinations of the little witch should originate from the newly completed temple.
Is this temple haunted?
Or maybe it shouldn’t be repaired?
Although Xu Chen does not believe in ghosts and gods, if he continues like this, not only the Ba people will start to panic, but even his prestige will be questioned.
After all, it was he who single-handedly promoted the construction of the temple.
Seeing the increasingly haggard little witch and the nervousness of the entire tribe, Xu Chen gradually felt that it was no longer possible to ignore it. If he continued, the great witch he had finally created might be destroyed.
It doesn't matter if the little witch dies, the problem is that once the news spreads that the Ba people built a temple to kill the big witch, the Ba people will be completely finished.
In order to help the little witch unravel the divine eye that was spying on her, Xu Chen personally accompanied the little witch up and down the mountain for two days, and also carefully asked the little witch about her feelings, but even if he racked his brains, he could not find out.
There is not even a clue as to the origin of this mysterious eye of the god that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, not to mention clues.
Even Xu Chen was helpless.
The nervousness of the entire Ba tribe began to turn into panic and panic.
While Xu Chen tried his best to comfort Muba and the tribe and resolve the worries and panic, he himself began to become nervous.
Because from the time he started to trace this mysterious eye, he gradually began to have a vague hallucination, as if there was a big eye staring at him.
It's just that this illusion-like feeling sometimes passes by in a flash, and if you look carefully, there is no trace at all.
Just when Xu Chen was at a loss what to do, a hunter came to him crying and said that he was beaten violently by a group of hunters led by Feng.
Looking at this guy with a bruised nose and a swollen face full of grievances, Xu Chen's face turned black.
It is normal for companions to fight and fight among themselves, but this guy was beaten quite badly. He seemed to have gained weight. It was obvious that a group of people were very heavy-handed.
This kind of cannibalism has never happened before.
If this kind of thing happened on a normal day, the mother-in-law would scold everyone immediately, and the group of guys who hit people would be punished.
However, because of the little witch's incident recently, my mother was so anxious that she had no intention of taking care of it. Now there is no one to seek justice, so this guy can only complain to Xu Chen.
Xu Chen could only call Feng and a group of hunters to reprimand him, and said that according to the training discipline and daily code of conduct, he would be punished by training and deducting food for beating his companions so badly, and he was not allowed to drive piles for five days as a punishment.
Faced with the punishment measures announced by Xu Chen, a group of hunters jumped up to defend themselves, accusing this evil guy of filing a complaint first and then beating him up. It was only during the quarrel that Xu Chen realized that when the guy who was beaten went home and entered the valley today, he suddenly said that he too
I felt the power of the gods and seemed to see a huge eye in the sky looking at me.
Ha ha!
At that time, a group of hunters almost burst out laughing.
It's okay to make harmless jokes or brag, but how can you make jokes about gods casually?
What's more, the great witch has recently become mentally exhausted due to revelations from the gods.
Even Xu Chen couldn't help solve the problem. At a time when the entire tribe was extremely nervous and frightened, such nonsense would disturb people's hearts even more.
Besides, you are a useless idiot, how can you feel the eyes of the gods that only a great witch can see?
Even if the dog is joking, there still needs to be a gate.
Therefore, a group of people all scolded this guy for talking nonsense, but this guy insisted that he really saw a huge eye. Although it was only for a moment, as an excellent hunter, he would never feel wrong.
.
Seeing that this guy still refused to repent, Feng, as the highest military commander, felt it was necessary to suppress the ever-increasing grandiose mentality of his subordinates, commanded a group of people to pin this guy to the ground, beat him up, and forced him to admit
I didn't see the eyes of any gods.
But this guy is also stubborn. After being beaten by Fatty, he came back and complained to Xu Chen.
After Xu Chen listened to a group of people shouting and explaining, he stayed silent for a long time.
Have gods begun to appear on a large scale?
They all say that if you believe in the things about gods and ghosts, you will have them.
But in fact, even though Xu Chen felt the eyes of gods mentioned by the little witch, he still didn't believe that there really were gods in the world.
His purpose in building the Temple of the First Mother was to pretend to be a god and fool others, and it was definitely not to deceive himself into a magician.
So he asked the guy carefully about his feelings, and finally seemed to get some vague clues.
This guy's feeling was much weaker than that of the little witch and him. It was like having an epiphany when he entered the valley today, because they were riding horses and going very fast. After entering the valley, he slowed down in horror.
When I looked around, this illusion had completely disappeared without a trace.
Reminiscing that the face of the statue of the First Mother was pointing towards the mouth of the valley, Xu Chen thought this might be a clue and decided to go to the mouth of the valley to see the situation in person while it was still dark.
He has always believed that this is an illusion or even a hallucination.
But if this mysterious big eyeball hidden in the dark cannot be solved, the panic and tension of the tribe will become more and more serious day by day, and eventually the Temple of the Ancient Mother will also be questioned.
When the news spread to other tribes, the consequences would be even more disastrous.
So no matter what, he had to find this big eyeball that seemed to be everywhere and see what it was?
At the same time, he solved the spiritual revelation that had been bothering the little witch for more than ten days.
Let the Ba people return to peace and tranquility.
After listening to Xu Chen's instructions to prepare horses and go to the entrance of the valley, Feng and other hunters looked at each other, only the guy who was beaten danced excitedly.
Xu Chen took action, which naturally proved that his feeling was correct.
Soon, more than a dozen horses galloped out and headed straight for the mouth of the valley under the setting sun.
After Muba and others heard about it, they all looked forward to it enthusiastically.
Even the little witch ran to the door of the compound with a golden staff and kept looking and waiting.
There is a distance of seven or eight miles from the foot of the mountain to the mouth of the valley. It used to take almost an hour to walk, but since we got horses, it only takes twenty minutes.
At this time, the setting sun was setting in the west and had almost set on the ridge behind the compound. Most of the entire valley was shrouded in darkness. The mountains facing the mouth of the valley were even more forested and dark, and only the sounds of the late autumn wind could be heard.
Bursts of Lin Tao.
A group of people galloped to the entrance of the valley.
Most of the fortifications that were rushed to be built here last year have been washed away by the summer floods. Only a section of each side remains, which has lost its defensive role.
Xu Chen reined in his horse and stood at the narrow mouth of the valley, looking around. What he saw was the dark and quiet valley and the rolling mountains. He didn't find anything unusual.
After observing for a long time, he slowly drove his horse down the valley and kept looking around. However, he still found nothing until he reached the beach of the big river outside the valley.
Feng and other hunters followed around with bows and arrows. They all looked at each other, but did not dare to speak.
The appearance of the Mother Goddess has recently made the entire Ba tribe nervous.
As a result, the great witch became increasingly thin and exhausted.
Although everyone didn't say it with their mouths, they were actually very scared in their hearts and didn't know what to do.
If Xu Chen can find some clues to decipher the divine revelation through this hunter's sense, it will be a good thing for everyone.
The estuary where the two rivers meet is rippling with blue waves. The setting sun shines down on the low ridge at the mouth of the valley, reflecting a large area of golden light and shadow. There are birds flying in the sky and groups of wild animals drinking water by the river.
Mountains, valleys, large rivers, small rivers, and the setting sun all merge into a peaceful and tranquil primitive landscape.
Xu Chen reined in his horse and turned around, heading back toward the valley against the sunshine.
On the way here, he had already carefully questioned the guy who was beaten. It was on the way from the river beach to the valley that he had an idea. While riding his horse on the beach, he suddenly raised his head and seemed to see it.
A huge eye, but when he slowed down his horse to take a closer look in fear, he found nothing.
"The entrance of the valley, directly ahead..."
Xu Chen rode his horse very slowly. The setting sun shone a little dazzlingly on his face, and he couldn't help but reach out to shield his eyes.
The wind led a large group of hunters behind him, and they all looked at the sky at the mouth of the valley against the setting sun.
The one-mile-long valley was quickly completed. When he was still dozens of meters away from the fortifications, Xu Chen suddenly grabbed the reins and slowly took two steps back.
At this moment, he really saw a big eye hidden in the dark mountainside.
There is a long eyebrow, and underneath it is a huge eye socket. There is a pupil inside, but it is blocked by the dark woods and there is a faint mist. This eye is like a ghost hidden in the quiet and dark mountainside forest.
It's looming and creepy.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
After Xu Chen observed for a moment, he suddenly burst into laughter, shook his horse's reins, and ran straight into the valley.
"Okay, I know what the revelation from the gods is, let's go home!"
"Ouch~~"
A group of hunters quickly galloped on their horses, and more than a dozen horses rushed into the valley following Xu Chen.
