Chapter 147: The Fake Famen Temple (1st Update)
"Woman goes up the hill and goes missing?"
Ye Mu couldn't help but be stunned, how could there be such a thing?
"How could it be, I went up to this mountain three years ago, and I went to the mausoleum you mentioned, but there were more than a dozen monks in the temple at that time, and I went down the mountain after making a wish, and I didn't go missing? Could it be that I got lost on the mountain and couldn't get down, so you think you're missing. ”
Wang Lili frowned lightly and said to the old man.
Obviously, Wang Lili doesn't quite believe the old man's words now, and feels that what he said is a bit alarmist, he is here to repay his wishes, how can he succeed if he doesn't go up the mountain? At first, he said that there was no Famen Temple, just a mausoleum, and now he said that women can't go up the mountain and will disappear, which is a bit too much nonsense.
"It's not that I'm lost, the missing women are all from our village, I used to go to the mountains all the year round to pick up some wild fruits, chop firewood and the like and never get lost, this is also three years ago, there are women in the village who disappeared after going up the mountain, and they don't see them coming back, I'm afraid there are seven or eight missing women in the past three years, so now women are forbidden to go up the mountain in the village, even if the men go up the mountain to go together, they can't leave the village too far. ”
The old man shook his head slightly.
"Then why did you agree to take me with me when I said to go up the mountain?"
Ye Mu looked at the old man and couldn't help frowning and asked.
Since he knows that this mountain is so fierce, men don't dare to travel far up the mountain, so why is this old man not afraid of danger and leading the way for himself?
This is what Ye Mu is puzzled about, which is a bit unreasonable at all.
"I'm old, how long can I live, so I'm not afraid at all, because I also want to go to the Diling to see, and I haven't been up for more than three years. ”
Seeing that Ye Mu was puzzled, the old man smiled awkwardly and said, but when he spoke, the old man's eyes dodged Ye Mu intentionally or unintentionally.
It is only when a person lies that his eyes become evasive, and it is clear that the old man is lying.
"You're lying!"
Ye Mu stared at the old man, his eyes flashed with a cold glint and said.
Since the old man is deliberately lying, there must be something else.
"Hmph, I'm kind enough to help you, but you still suspect me of lying, then I don't care, you go up the mountain yourself, when I didn't say anything!"
The old man deliberately snorted coldly, with an angry look on his face, and then turned around and left.
"Do you want to leave?" Ye Mu suddenly made a move and grabbed the old man's wrist.
The old man's eyes flashed with coldness, and he grabbed Ye Mu's wrist with his backhand, his hand was like an eagle's claw, as fast as lightning.
Obviously, this old man is a practitioner, and he is also a master.
This made Ye Mu a little surprised, he didn't even see that this old man was still a martial artist, a martial artist at the peak of his dark strength, no wonder he was old, but his body was very tough, and he walked like the wind.
However, the strength of a peak of dark energy, and Ye Mu's eyes are really not enough, Ye Mu does not dodge or dodge, his right hand still tightly grasps the old man's wrist, and lets the old man's left hand grasp him.
After the old man's left hand grabbed Ye Mu's wrist, he suddenly exerted force, wanting to break Ye Mu's hand, but no matter how hard he tried, Ye Mu didn't move at all.
The old man was horrified in his heart, his own strength, he knew best, even if it was a thousand pounds of grinding plate, he could easily lift it, but now he couldn't shake the young man in front of him, it was obvious that this young man's strength was much higher than him.
"At a young age, you still want to be rough, damn it!"
The corners of Ye Mu's mouth were raised, and his hand was slightly forced, and the old man instantly felt a pain like a drill, his face turned red, and the green tendons on his neck bulged.
"Village Chief......
At this time, more than a dozen middle-aged people suddenly poured out from all directions of the village, each of them was burly, with steady steps, holding various weapons in their hands, and they were also martial arts practitioners, but at this time, the faces of more than a dozen people showed panic.
Looking at the dozen or so people who suddenly poured out, Ye Mu's eyes froze, and his face showed murderous intent.
He didn't expect that the seemingly ordinary village would actually hide a murderous intention, these people were obviously ambushed here a long time ago, just now Ye Mu was also careless, thinking that it was just an ordinary village, and there was no danger, so he didn't use his divine sense to investigate.
"Don't move, don't come here......"
Seeing the dozen or so people who suddenly poured out, the old man endured the severe pain, and then shouted at those people.
Because this old man had already felt the murderous aura on Ye Mu's body, even his martial artist at the peak of his dark strength was not an opponent, so these middle-aged people were not opponents, and they were just sent to death when they came.
More than a dozen middle-aged people were only slightly stunned when they heard the old man's shout, but no one stopped, and rushed directly towards Ye Mu with their weapons, because they wanted to save the old man.
The corners of Ye Mu's mouth raised, and with a wave of his hand, a strong force instantly rushed towards those middle-aged people, dealing with some dark martial artists, Ye Mu only needed to wave his hand to kill them.
However, Ye Mu didn't kill him, those middle-aged people only felt a gust of wind roaring like a huge force attacking, the weapons in their hands fell to the ground one after another, and their bodies all flew backwards involuntarily.
More than a dozen middle-aged people had a look of horror in their eyes and a look of horror on their faces, and although they all got up, none of them dared to move again.
"Zong...... Grandmaster, Grand Grandmaster!"
The old man watched Ye Mu knock down more than a dozen people with a wave of his hand, his eyes widened, and he suddenly knelt down for Ye Mu.
The old man knelt down, and Ye Mu also let go of his hand, looking at the old man with a puzzled face.
"Grandmaster, ask Grandmaster for help, ask Grandmaster for help!"
The old man knelt in front of Ye Mu and kept kowtowing.
And the dozen or so middle-aged people also knelt on the ground at this time, kowtowing to Ye Mu, and shouting in unison: "Ask the grandmaster for help, ask the grandmaster for help!"
This time, Ye Mu was stunned, shouldn't he beg himself to spare his life? How could he shout for help?
"Don't kneel, speak clearly!"
Ye Mu held up the old man out of thin air.
"Grandmaster, please come with me!"
After the old man was held up by Ye Mu, he lowered his head and said to Ye Mu very respectfully.
Ye Mu didn't hesitate, and followed the old man directly towards a mansion, because Ye Mu was confident enough, no matter what tricks these people played, they wouldn't be able to threaten him.
Wang Lili followed closely behind Ye Mu and also followed.
After entering a slightly dilapidated courtyard, more than a dozen middle-aged people were guarding the courtyard, while the old man led Ye Mu and Wang Lili into the house.
The room was a little dim, and there were cobwebs hanging in the corners of the roof, as if no one lived there, but looking at the bedding on the bed and a picture of a girl on the table, it was clear that there were people living here.
"Grandmaster, the humble house is too dilapidated, I hope the grandmaster is not strange!"
After entering the house, the old man let Ye Mu and Wang Lili sit on the bed, while he stood in front of Ye Mu and said very embarrassedly.
"Tell me something!"
Ye Mu said lightly.
Poof!
The old man suddenly knelt down for Ye Mu again, and suddenly the old man burst into tears.
Ye Mu was about to help the old man up, but the old man waved his hand and said: "Grandmaster, don't move, let me kneel and say, I'm sorry for the grandmaster, I'm sorry for the ancestors, I'm sorry for the ......ancestors."
Hearing the old man say this, Ye Mu didn't move, sat on the bed, and listened carefully to what the old man said.
After more than ten minutes, Ye Mu finally understood, and understood why the old man lied to him and Wang Lili to separate, and then after seeing his strength, he knelt down and shouted for help.
It turns out that this Dongmo Village has existed for hundreds of years, at the beginning, the ancestors of Dongmo Village were only the tomb keepers of the Tomb, and they have been abiding by the foot of the Tomb Mountain, not allowing idle people to disturb the Tomb, and slowly after hundreds of years of development, such a large village has been formed.
The people in the village are all surnamed Situ, but an ancestor, this old man is called Situ Ying, who is the village chief of Dongmo Village and the most powerful person in Dongmo Village.
The reason why he wanted to separate Ye Mu and Wang Lili at the beginning was because he was going to arrest Wang Lili and then dedicate it to the presiding officer of the Famen Temple on the earth tomb.
Originally, there was no temple in the Qishan Mountains, only a temple-like building built on the tomb, but three years ago, suddenly a group of people broke into the tomb, occupied the building on the tomb, and named it Famen Temple.
Situ Ying thought that this group of people were tomb robbers, and he had led the villagers to drive this group of people, but he didn't expect that this group of people was all in the realm of grandmasters, and the self-proclaimed presiding master Xuanzang was also a great grandmaster, and he was also the same as Ye Mu, and with a wave of his hand, more than half of the villagers brought by Situ Ying were killed and injured.
In desperation, Situ Ying could only let those people occupy the building of the tomb and had nothing to do, but after the group stayed for about three or four months, they suddenly went down the mountain and broke into Dongmo Village, and then captured a girl, and put down the words, every year to sacrifice a girl, otherwise the village would be slaughtered.
Although Situ Ying was very angry, there was no way, he couldn't watch hundreds of people in the village, young and old, being poisoned, so he could only sacrifice a girl every year to keep him safe.
It's time to sacrifice again this year, but Situ Ying really can't stand the family of the girl who was sacrificed, the scene of life and death, as the village chief, he plans to sacrifice his only granddaughter, that is, the girl in the photo on the table.
Situ Ying's son and daughter-in-law both died in the battle three years ago, and he and his granddaughter depended on each other, and this time he wanted to sacrifice his granddaughter, he really couldn't bear it, but there was no way.
It just so happened that he found out that Ye Mu and Wang Lili were coming, so he was selfish, he planned to catch Wang Lili to make offerings, so that his granddaughter would not have to go to the offerings.
So there was a beginning, Situ Ying deliberately deceived Ye Mu, and then arranged for someone to catch Wang Lili and secretly go in and dedicate it.
Later, after discovering that Ye Mu turned out to be the Great Grandmaster, Situ Ying followed Ye Mu and shouted for help, hoping that Ye Mu could help drive away those who occupied the tomb.
"I deserve to die, I deserve to die, for the sake of my relatives, but I want to harm innocent people, I am ashamed of my martyrs, I am ashamed to ...... them"
Situ Ying cried bitterly and kept kowtowing to Ye Mu.
