Chapter 68: Sacrifice to the "Mountain God"

"The mountain god has appeared again, everyone go and see it!" The villagers shouted as they ran. Wang Mu and Xiaoqian were taken forward by the poor.

At this time, the entrance of the ancestral hall was already full of people, and the whole village came here, looking in on tiptoe one by one.

"I don't know which girl it is this year!"

"That's it, there are only a few young girls left in the village to be married, and it's not easy to spread it on anyone's head."

The villagers next to him were discussing, but Wang Mu was confused, and looked at Xiaoqian suspiciously, Xiaoqian understood, and explained: "Our village has relied on the blessing of the mountain god for generations to be able to adjust the wind and rain, but the condition is that a chaste woman should be selected every year to give to the mountain god, so most of the girls in the village will find a good in-law to marry before the sacrificial day, so as to escape the bad luck." ”

Wang Mu nodded and asked, "Then how was this woman chosen?" ”

Xiao Qian replied: "This woman was chosen by the mountain god himself, and it was conveyed through Grandma Zu. ”

"Who is Grandma Zu?" Wang Mu asked.

"It's my grandmother." Xiaoqian said: "My grandmother lost her sight in an accident decades ago, and later got the opportunity to become a priest in the village, and her eyes were unexpectedly restored. ”

When Wang Mu heard this, he already knew in his heart that the villagers here were not sacrificing a mountain god at all, and he was a monster!

"Be quiet, everyone be quiet!" The old woman walked out of the ancestral hall.

The noise slowly subsided, and was replaced by a deathly silence in the audience, and everyone stared silently at the old woman, waiting for her to announce the name of the sacrificer.

The old woman coughed lightly, picked up the note in her hand, looked around at the villagers who were standing, glanced at Ye Xunqian meaningfully, and then quickly withdrew her eyes to the note.

Xiao Qian was shocked when she saw this, could it be that she was the sacrifice she chose this year? Thinking like this, cold sweat flowed down his forehead, and his hand tightly grasped the corner of his clothes.

"The saints chosen this year are...... Yang Caihe! ”

Yang Caihe? Xiao Qianxin let go for a moment, and turned her head to look at Yang Caihe, who was standing stupidly not far away, and everyone's eyes were focused on Yang Caihe.

Yang Caihe's parents collapsed to the ground, and their mouths kept muttering: "This is impossible, it can't be my family Caihe!" ”

"How so? How could the mountain god choose a fool? ”

"That's right, but letting this fool go to the mountain god can be regarded as a good thing for the village, and maybe the mountain god's mercy can cure her stupid illness."

The discussion of the villagers made Wang Mu gradually understand something, this Yang Caihe should be mentally retarded, it seems that this mountain god is really an ugly monster, and he will not even let go of the mentally handicapped.

"Tomorrow I will sacrifice to the mountain god, and the folks will disperse now!" Grandma Zu waved her hand helplessly, and everyone shook their heads one by one and left with a sigh.

"Grandma, why did the mountain god choose to pick lotus?" Xiao Qian took Grandma Zu's hand and asked coquettishly.

Grandma Zu shook her head and said, "This is what the mountain god means, how can grandma know, I am just the mountain god speaking for the mountain god." ”

Xiaoqian lowered her head and walked to Yang Caihe's side to comfort her parents, while the stupid Yang Caihe didn't know what was going on, just smirked and looked at her parents sitting on the ground in pain.

"I heard Xiaoqian say that Grandma was blind before?" Wang Mu asked.

"Yes, I was fortunate to have the grace of the mountain god to heal my eyes, and let me be a high priest for decades to ensure that the wind and rain are smooth!" Grandma Zu talked about the mountain god, and her tone was full of gratitude and awe.

"So, Grandma has seen this mountain god?" Wang Mu then asked.

"Well...... this." Grandma Zu said hesitantly: "Of course I have seen it! ”

"Then the tired grandmother will tell me and other small people about the majesty of the mountain god!"

"It's ......." Grandma Zu was speechless for a while, I don't know if she really didn't know or if she was hiding something.

Wang Mu was about to ask, Xiaoqian came over and said, "Ah He, what are you talking about to grandma?" ”

"Xiaoqian, you came just in time, take Ahe around, grandma still has something to do." Grandma Zu pushed Wang Mu to Ye Xunqian, and she hurriedly walked into the ancestral hall.

Wang Mu turned his head to look at Grandma Zu's back, and always felt that something was wrong, who was this Grandma Zu? Where is this so-called mountain god sacred? It seems that everything will not be known until tomorrow.

The crops in the fields at the head of the village have been harvested, leaving only patches of bare land that are particularly eye-catching, Wang Mu and Ye Xunqian sat on the ridge of the ground, looking at the still green mountains in the distance.

"What kind of mountain is that?" Wang Mu asked.

"That mountain is called Chiyao Mountain, and it is also the feng shui vein of our village, and it is said that the mountain god lives on that mountain." Xiaoqian explained.

Wang Mu nodded and said, "You go back first, I'll go around by myself." ”

Xiao Qian hesitated and nodded, and said, "But you must not go to that mountain, it is our sacred mountain, and no one can go anywhere except grandma!" ”

Wang Mu smiled and said, "Don't worry." ”

As soon as Xiao Qian left, Wang Mu looked at the Chiyao Mountain with deep eyes, and he always felt that the strangeness of this village was related to this mountain! So he had to go up the mountain and find out.

Although he had no mana, Wang Mu's nosy problem had not changed, and he crossed the river in three or two steps to the foot of the mountain.

From here, it seems that the mountain is not big, but there is an indescribable sense of suffocation, which makes Wang Mu trust his judgment even more.

After a few steps, a rabbit on the ground ran over quickly, Wang Mu was startled, and couldn't help laughing at himself.

But around a few huge rocks, Wang Mu saw that the rabbit that had just run over was lying there covered in blood at this time.

"This place is really evil!" Wang Mu thought like this and became more careful.

Suddenly, Wang Mu sneezed, only to feel that the tip of his nose was covered with dust, as if it was floating down from the top of his head.

"Boom......."

Accompanied by a loud noise, a lot of dust fell on Wang Mu along with small gravel, and Wang Mu hurriedly looked up to see that a huge stone was falling rapidly.

Saying that it was too late, Wang Mu quickly ran forward a few steps, and the boulder smashed heavily on the place where he was standing just now, if he hadn't found it in time, he was afraid that it would have turned into a meat pie at this time.

There is a cave not far ahead, Wang Mu's curiosity doubled, shook off the dust on his body and continued to move forward, there is a stone tablet at the entrance of the cave, on which are written three big characters "Devouring Holy Cave"!

What a strange name, Wang Mu thought to himself.

The door of the cave was closed, and Wang Mu tried to push it twice, but the bulky stone door couldn't be opened at all with Wang Mu's current ability, what could I do?

Suddenly, there was a sound of rustling not far away. "Someone's coming!" Wang Mu was agitated and quickly hid aside.
