Chapter 326: Mysterious Liquid
Listening to the shouts of the townspeople, Qin Xiusheng's face became even more ugly. Judging by the behavior of the townspeople, they admired the lord from the bottom of their hearts. This was definitely not good news for Qin Xiusheng, it would be even more difficult for Qin Xiusheng to unravel his conspiracy if it could make the villagers go so mad.
"Brother Qin, it seems that it will be very difficult for us to help the villagers this time. Luo Ziran's face was full of solemnity, and like Qin Xiusheng, he could also see the villagers' fanaticism for that adult.
Qin Xiusheng frowned and nodded. While the two were talking, the sedan chair was getting closer and closer, and it was about to reach the square.
The distance was shortened, and Qin Xiusheng finally saw the appearance of the person sitting on the sedan chair clearly. He wears a hideous mask on his face that completely obscures his entire face. He was wearing old-fashioned armor, and the whole person looked chilling.
Around the palanquin, four men in armor, also wearing masks, carried the palanquin. Walking in the front, one person holds a horn in his hand, as if he is leading the way for a sedan chair.
When the sedan chair arrived around the square, the townspeople who had surrounded the square consciously moved out of the way, allowing the sedan chair to pass smoothly.
"Your Excellency is here, are you still not saluting?" ordered the man who walked in front.
The townsfolk bowed down and bowed to the ground, all singing the praises of the great man's deeds. Qin Xiusheng's face became more and more ugly. Obviously, in the eyes of these townspeople, the adult sitting on the sedan chair was like a god. He had no doubt that if the Lord had let the villagers die, they would have no hesitation in ending their lives.
All the townspeople present bowed to the ground, and Qin Xiusheng and Luo Ziran, who were standing in place, stood out very conspicuously. Seeing the two of them standing still, the man who walked in front couldn't help frowning.
"You two, why don't you worship when you see your lord?"
Qin Xiusheng snorted coldly, he knelt down to his parents, it was absolutely impossible for him to kneel down a person who pretended to be a ghost.
"Why should I worship someone who doesn't even dare to show his face?" Qin Xiusheng replied coldly. In his opinion, the adult would never dare to take off his mask. Because he must be from the town too, and if he takes off his mask, the townsfolk will surely recognize him and see through his schemes.
"The lord has protected the entire town by his own strength, and when you see him not worshipping, don't you want to go against the whole town?"
Qin Xiusheng snorted coldly, and was about to refute, but suddenly a crisp voice came.
"Well, whether to worship or not to worship is from the heart. If he has no intention, it is useless to force him. ”
Hearing this voice, Qin Xiusheng couldn't help but be stunned. He had always thought that the adult must be a man. But judging by this voice, the person sitting on the sedan chair turned out to be a woman, and it didn't sound very old.
"You just said that I didn't dare to show my true face?" After a pause, the man in the sedan chair spoke again.
Qin Xiusheng couldn't help but be stunned, listening to what she meant, didn't she care about taking off her mask? Qin Xiusheng frowned slightly, wasn't she from the town?
Biting his lip vigorously, Qin Xiusheng opened his mouth and replied, "What if I said it, do you dare to remove your mask in public?"
In Qin Xiusheng's opinion, she was most likely bluffing. However, even if she did take off her mask, it would not be harmful to Qin Xiusheng.
"Well, as you say, let me see who I really am. ”
As he spoke, the person in the sedan chair slowly raised his hand. The armor that wrapped around her body reached only her wrists, and when she lifted it, she revealed her weak, boneless jade hands. The hand slowly went up, in stark contrast to the hideous mask.
Seeing that hand on the mask, Qin Xiusheng suddenly felt his heart beat faster, and even he was startled.
"Can't I wait to see her face?" Qin Xiusheng hurriedly shook his head vigorously, shaking off this dangerous thought in his mind. Qin Xiusheng kept warning himself in his heart that the person in front of him was a liar who fooled the townspeople, and he must not be deceived and deceived by her.
The hand slowly took off the mask, and Qin Xiusheng looked at the face hidden under the mask, and couldn't help but be stunned in place. It was so beautiful that it was far beyond his imagination, and he couldn't find the words to describe her.
The corners of her mouth slowly rose, and the woman showed a smile to Qin Xiusheng, "This is what I really look like, I am satisfied with you, should you worship me next?"
Hearing the woman's words, Qin Xiusheng was relieved from his shock. He quickly shook his head vigorously and said, "When did I say that I would worship you if you took off your mask?" ”
In the face of Qin Xiusheng's confrontation, the woman didn't seem angry at all. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and her two thin lips slowly opened, "I'm just talking." As I said, it's up to you to decide whether to worship or not, and I won't force you. ”
With that, the woman looked away and turned to the townsfolk who were on their knees.
"Today is a festival here, and as usual, I will give you holy water that can dispel curses. ”
After saying that, the woman clapped her hands. Behind him, the masked heavy man pushes out a cauldron and fills the pot with a scented liquid.
Seeing the cauldron pushed out, the townsfolk became even more fanatical. Everyone scrambled to the edge of the pot and waited for the woman to distribute the so-called holy water to them.
Looking at the light-weight woman and the fanatical villagers, Qin Xiusheng couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Ziran, you said that woman was able to play with the townspeople in applause, does it have anything to do with the liquid in that pot?" Qin Xiusheng looked at the cauldron, revealing a thoughtful expression.
Luo Ziran hesitated, nodded and said, "Very likely, I guess there must be some kind of drug in that pot, which has the effect of hallucinating people." The woman used the drug to control the townspeople, worshipping her as if she were a god. ”
Biting his lip hard, Qin Xiusheng wanted to get close to the cauldron, but was pulled by Luo Ziran from behind.
"Brother Qin, what do you want to do? That woman will never let us get close. Luo Ziran was worried that Qin Xiusheng's actions would annoy the woman, so he hurriedly reached out to stop him.
Qin Xiusheng turned around, shook his head and said, "No matter what, I have to go over and take a look." If that pot is really a drug, I can't just watch her kill the townspeople!"
Hearing Qin Xiusheng's words, Luo Ziran couldn't help but sigh and let go of the hand that was holding him. With Qin Xiusheng's character, his own persuasion had no effect on him at all, so he could only silently follow behind him and lean over as well.
