When Patriarch Zhong heard his son's questioning, he looked ashamed and didn't even dare to look at him.
"The old patriarch is safe and sound, but the rest of the people have lost their lifespans. What's the point? They have reached an agreement with that thing." Qin Liuxi said coolly: "Human nature is selfish."
Patriarch Zhong was even more ashamed and muttered: "Yes, I am afraid of death. The more I get, the more I am afraid of death and the less willing I am to accept it. Originally, only one or two people gave ten years of life a year, but it became more and more difficult.
The more greedy they are, the more they increase the number of people every year, from two to ten or twenty people. When it is no longer enough, the newly born children must also be given."
Zhong Jinshi staggered: "What about Xiao Wen?"
Patriarch Zhong lowered his head: "Xiao Wen is our lifeblood. I can only give ten years, and I won't give it any more. It also agreed, but it regretted it. What it wants now is Xiao Wen's life."
Zhong Jinshi's fists were itchy. If he hadn't been so senile and it was his own father, he would have almost greeted this old man.
"You, you are simply confused. If you lose your life, what's the use of having more wealth?"
No wonder, he has always advocated the idea of having more children, more blessings. The idea of having more children is not to increase his own population, but to nourish the blood tank and food rations of the golden toad monster!
"I did not expect……"
"If you are greedy, a snake swallows an elephant. You didn't expect that Lao Qi and the others would die at such a young age." Zhong Jinshi said angrily.
Qin Liuxi asked the dead descendants what their birth dates were, and after calculating them, he said, "They are all pretty good."
The character "prosperity" represents prosperity. Is it really planning to become an immortal, or is it trying to overcome a calamity and transform into another form?
The Zhong clan leader also felt regretful and said with a sad face: "I don't want to make offerings anymore, but there is no turning back when I shoot my bow. If I don't satisfy it, our whole Zhong clan will be in misfortune."
"It is also unlucky now." Qin Liuxi said calmly: "It attracts wealth for you Zhong family, and invisibly robs others of the wealth that should exist. You Zhong family are good at doing good and spreading good deeds, which is better.
If you can only get in but not get out, you will only fail more miserably."
Patriarch Zhong's old face became more and more gray, and he almost couldn't stand and fell down the mountain.
"You have enlarged its appetite. The greater its ability, the more restricted you are. Once it can't be controlled, it will have no scruples and let go. No, you, the great-grandson, are the first to bear the brunt. His fate is
The game is very good. If you can pass this level, you will definitely achieve great things in the future, but it's a pity..." Qin Liuxi sighed softly and said: "So don't seek skin from a tiger easily, a tiger is a tiger, you can't outplay it."
Patriarch Zhong's heart was beating wildly and he said: "Master, you must save my great-grandson. As long as he can pass this hurdle, you can do whatever you want from me?"
"Oh? Are you willing to spend all your wealth?" Qin Liuxi raised an eyebrow and looked at him.
Patriarch Zhong was startled, then said: "I do."
Jinshi is right, if your life is gone, what will happen if you have great wealth? As long as your descendants are outstanding, you can make a comeback, but if you lose your life, you will lose everything.
When they arrived at the temple, Qin Liuxi stopped them and squinted at the temple.
The temple with red walls and black tiles is very exquisitely ornately decorated, with carved beams and painted pillars, but the carvings are the prototypes of auspicious clouds and three-legged golden toads, and the plaque has several large red gold characters on the golden toad temple, which is quite decent.
But above the temple, there is a lingering Yin Qi, mixed with the red blood evil Qi. The intersection of the two makes people restless and has an ominous feeling.
Qin Liuxi looked around and found Zhong Bowen's missing soul, so he walked into the temple.
Patriarch Zhong and the others looked at each other and gritted their teeth to follow.
Entering the temple, a huge statue of a three-legged mythical beast came into view. The whole body was covered with gold. It was a three-legged golden toad. In front of it, there was a furnace cauldron with incense candles and fresh fruits and melons on the incense table.
.
"Master, what's wrong?" Patriarch Zhong saw her staring at the statue of the golden toad without making a sound, so he couldn't help asking in a low voice.
Qin Liuxi pointed at the dazzling golden toad: "Is this golden toad real gold?"
What a sin, her eyes were flashed.
"Of course." Chief Zhong said proudly: "Since our Zhong clan worships this three-legged golden toad, we naturally follow its instructions. It's just gold, and it's not like we don't have any. Our Zhong clan has a silver tower. It wants to
If you want gold, let's get one. The most important thing is that it really appears. Of course, it's not solid, but hollow."
Qin Liuxi's breathing was a little quick. The golden statue of her ancestor, not to mention a hollow golden statue, was just a circle of gold foil on the outside, but this mythical beast was actually made of pure gold.
There is no harm without comparison. Her stomach was sour and she felt so jealous.
What to do, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed to see her family’s ancestor.
Patriarch: I am also sour. I wonder if it is because someone came to worship God today and offered a sour fruit.
"Made of pure gold, you are not afraid of thieves." Qin Liuxi said quietly.
Patriarch Zhong said proudly: "No one can take it away, because it is a three-legged golden toad that can manifest spirits. I will tell you that even now, there were little thieves who wanted to steal it, and they were all in the presence of gods.
People who were unconscious outside the temple were sent to prison by us, and this is all due to it."
Qin Liuxi snorted and said: "Look how proud you are, if it is good, it will not rob your people of their anger!"
Patriarch Zhong: “!”
Qin Liuxi looked at the temple. In addition to the dazzling statues of mythical beasts, there were also murals painted on the walls. They were also three-legged golden toads, which were very vivid.
She circled around the three-legged golden toad, then walked to the middle position, raised her head to look at the golden toad, and suddenly saw a line of water coming towards them.
Qin Liuxi reacted very quickly and threw out a talisman. With a bang, the water line was intercepted and water splashed on the golden toad statue.
Sizzle.
The golden toad actually melted a little when it was splashed into the water.
Qin Liuxi was heartbroken.
Others were so frightened that they huddled together.
"Get out." Qin Liuxi waved his sleeves and pushed Zhong Jinshi and the others to the door. Then he stared at the golden toad and sneered: "The dignified three-legged golden toad is also ranked among the sacred beasts, but it actually hides the head and tail of a rat.
, you don’t dare to meet people, are you afraid that people will find out that you are a fake?”
"Huangkou boy is so impudent!" A golden shadow jumped down from the beam and landed on the head of the golden toad. He glared at Qin Liuxi condescendingly and uttered words: "Where does this little heavenly master come from? How dare he mess around?"
Break into my Golden Toad Temple."
Qin Liuxi stood with his hands behind his hands, looked at the thing, and said, "Are you the legendary three-legged golden toad?"
Gold is indeed gold, the whole body is golden, the eyes are bulging, the eyes are red, the top of the head is slightly protruding in a triangular position, and the limbs are squatting, looking very energetic.
Jin Chan snorted and said proudly: "Of course this divine beast is."
Qin Liuxi pouted: "Do you think I'm blind? I don't even count your legs, one, two, three, four. With your four legs, you still dare to say that you are a three-legged golden toad? You are clearly a toad! A fake.
