The young and old men of Lishan Village have lived in this area for generations. They rely on the mountains and water, but they never dare to enter that dense forest.
The reason is very simple. There are many ferocious beasts in this dense forest. Even the most powerful man in the village will have a narrow escape from death if he enters the forest.
Of course, this is not the main reason. What really makes many villagers regard the dense forest as a forbidden area is another thing, but Xingtian obviously doesn't know about it at the moment.
Seeing the surprised faces of many villagers in front of him, Xing Tian didn't know what to say. He was just passing by this peaceful mountain village and had no intention of staying. However, the next actions of these villagers surprised Xing Tian.
They quickly changed from a look of surprise to a look of joy, and welcomed Xingtian into the village with great enthusiasm. They treated Xingtian like a distinguished guest with good wine and delicious food.
Xing Tian also found this kind of enthusiasm very strange.
Yes, that's weird. Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will find it weird, so Xing Tian didn't refuse the villagers' enthusiasm. He really wanted to see what their intentions were.
And soon, Xing Tian laughed, not for anything else, but because he discovered that the meals prepared by these villagers for him were actually drugged.
There is no doubt that for Xing Tian's current level of cultivation, drugs of this level are not threatening at all. The body of a Dzogchen warrior in the Qiankun Realm is strong enough to resist drugs of this level.
However, in order to find out what was going on, Xing Tian still pretended not to know, ate all the food prepared for him by the villagers, and even fainted in a very cooperative manner.
Sure enough, the village chief and others, who had been urging people to drink and eat vegetables just now, stopped the smiles on their faces after seeing Xing Tian fainting, and they all looked mysterious.
"Village chief, this foreigner has fallen asleep!" A villager who was accompanying Xing Tian shook his head. Seeing that the latter made no movement, he chuckled.
"Get out of here, Ergouzi, you kid, don't move around. This is a major matter related to the safety of our whole village. You kid, please be careful. You stay here and watch me carefully." The village chief said angrily,
The villager was stunned but then smiled, and then the village chief stood up and walked out with the others, obviously to discuss something.
Xing Tian, who is still confused until now, naturally did not really fall asleep. He is very curious. Although these villagers are very strong in physical fitness, to him, they are still the same as mortals. Why did they drug themselves out?
?
Could it be a robbery? If so, then there are no good people in this village, and using such despicable methods will definitely not make any better. However, Xing Tian could see that the villagers in this village were not evil people, so he even thought
Know what they are going to do.
When the old village chief went out, Xing Tian naturally had a way to eavesdrop. However, his mind left his body and floated out of the house like a ghost, following the village chief. After arriving at a big house, Xing Tian discovered that the people in this village only wanted to
They are adults, and almost all of them are crowded here, sitting or standing.
Seeing the village chief coming, everyone immediately gathered around and asked questions. The old village chief coughed and said, "Stop making noises. This matter is related to the lives of our entire village. We must not make any mistakes."
I feel sorry for the foreigner, but there is nothing we can do. We are also forced."
Xingtian's mind was floating in the air at the moment, but when he heard this, he secretly thought that it was the aliens who forced him to do it? It was unlikely. If the aliens were chasing him, how could he play such a ridiculous trick? And with the kind of force that could destroy the entire cloud
With the strength of the palace, there is really no need to play such a trick.
If it's not a foreign race, then what's going on?
At this time, another older man came out and said: "Village chief, do you think this foreigner is the person the mountain god in the mountain said he was?"
The old village chief said expressionlessly: "I think they are inseparable. Didn't the mountain god say that as long as he meets someone walking on foot from that forest, he is the person he is looking for? As long as this person is
If we take them there, our village chief will be able to save a few children from dying every year. Hey, in the past hundred years, many children have died in that mountain. It's very pitiful!"
"Yes, what our ancestors left behind is that the mountain god asked us to bring such a person over, so that we can avoid our annual sacrifices. I think it must be this foreigner!" a woman shouted.
"Old Sun's daughter-in-law, is it your turn to have a baby this year? Hehe, good luck. If this foreigner is really the person that the mountain god wants, then your family's pillars will survive!" Old Villager
The chief also smiled.
"That's also thanks to the village chief!"
"Okay, today the foreigner claimed to have come from the woods, and he is also a man. This is consistent with what Grandpa Mountain God said. We will send him to the mountain overnight today. As long as Grandpa Mountain God accepts him, then our village
From now on, there is no need to give sacrifices anymore. At worst, I will erect a monument for this stranger and burn more things!" The old village chief slapped his thigh for the last time and made a decision. Immediately all the villagers in the room took action.
stand up.
Xingtian's spiritual thoughts listened to these conversations word for word, and immediately his expression remained motionless as his spiritual thoughts drifted away and finally returned to his body.
As for why these seemingly honest villagers plotted against him, Xing Tian also had some clues at this moment. According to what the old village chief and others just said, there is a rule in Lishan Village from the ancestors, that is, be careful when walking out of the woods.
people.
Anyone who comes out of the forest is a sacrifice that the mountain god wants, and as long as this sacrifice is given to the mountain god, the mountain god will dispense with the village's annual sacrifice.
Let's not talk about what the mountain god is, at least from this matter, Xing Tian is a little annoyed. If what those villagers said is true, and a child is sacrificed every year, then this mountain god must eat human flesh and suck people.
The evil warrior of the soul.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with him, but now that he had encountered it and was involved, Xing Tian wanted to see what kind of person the mountain god grandfather mentioned by the old village chief was.
This was why Xing Tian was holding a breath in his heart. He thought he could cultivate himself during this period, but obviously, he still had to vent when it was time to vent, and that mountain god grandpa knocked down the gun at this time. It was because of his bad luck.
The next thing Xing Tian had to do was to continue to pretend to be asleep. Soon, he was tied up with strong hemp ropes by the villagers who came over. Then he was tied to a door panel and carried up the mountain behind the village.
The mountains behind this village are also extremely vast, and it's already dark at night. It's also very scary in the deep mountains and old forests. However, the village is acting as a collective, so a large number of people don't feel scared at all.
After walking for more than an hour, many villagers stopped and reached the foot of a mountain. The mountain in front of them was exactly the strange mountain Xingtian saw during the day.
That is to say, the mountain is bare, no plants grow on it, and it is a lifeless mountain.
In fact, at the foot of the mountain, the weirdness of this mountain is revealed. Within a hundred feet of the mountain, there is no grass growing on the land, only the earth and stones are exposed. And even the land and stones are different from other
The place is different, the color is gray, and there is a strange atmosphere.
Xingtian didn't expect that the villagers would bring him here. He felt that there was something wrong with the mountain during the day, but he didn't expect it to be so.
Could it be that Grandpa, the mountain god known to the villagers, lives here?
At this time, the villagers took Xing Tian up a hillside, but stopped at an extremely simple stone platform.
The stone platform in front of me is more than ten feet high and is made of large stones. The stone platform is dark brown and smells of blood.
It's like the color it has become after being soaked in blood for many years.
This stone platform is obviously an altar. There are many tributes on it, incense candles are lit, and red ribbons are hung on it.
Xingtian was next placed on top. The other villagers seemed to be extremely afraid of this place, but they didn't want to stay there for a moment. They hurriedly ran down and hid more than ten meters away to watch. Only the old village chief and a few elderly people remained.
, kneeling under the stone platform, kowtowing and muttering something.
As for what they were talking about, Xingtian knew what it was even if he didn't listen. In fact, after Xingtian was brought here, he immediately made a shocking discovery.
This mountain was not formed naturally, but was moved by top masters with great supernatural powers. Of course, what really surprised Xing Tian was not these, but that there was a person pressed under this mountain.
This is indeed extremely weird. If Xing Tian had not left his body with his divine thoughts and used his divine eyes and apertures to look through the rocks, he would not have discovered this strange thing. However, the specific identity of the person at the foot of the mountain cannot be ascertained. There is something special about the whole mountain.
From his position, Xing Tian could only vaguely see his shadow, but he didn't know the other party's details.
At this time, the old village chief also finished his nagging, stood up and walked to Xing Tian and said: "Little brother, you must not blame us, we can't help it, we really can't help ourselves, we can't help ourselves, in the future
Every year, we come to worship you, and I thank you on behalf of Zhuzi and the other children!"
After saying that, he also bowed to Xing Tian, and then left with the others.
Regarding these villagers, Xing Tian did not think that they were full of evil, nor did he think of going back to take revenge on them. Firstly, he was highly cultivated and came here half of his own free will. Secondly, as these villagers said, they were also forced to do so.
.
Soon, Xing Tian was the only one left at the scene. At this time, a gust of wind blew for no reason. Xing Tian's brows jumped, but he immediately bounced off the stone platform and flew into the air.
Looking at the stone platform below, it has completely changed its appearance. It turned into a big mouth full of fangs, and then closed suddenly. If Xing Tian hadn't reacted very quickly, he would have been swallowed by this big mouth. (To be continued.)
