Chapter 176 [Walking for Heaven]

Under the "escort" of this group of hunters, everyone walked all the way along the dense forest trail, walked for about half an hour, and finally walked out of the winding and difficult mountain forest path, standing on a small dirt slope, and a small village appeared between the mountains and valleys in front of them.

The village is surrounded by thorny fences to prevent some wild beasts from attacking, and there are two small wooden platforms at the main entrance of the village, on which stand the plainly dressed villagers with bows and crossbows, and it is about to enter noon, and the smoke of cooking is rising from the simple houses in the village, and many children are still chasing and playing behind the rooms.

"This village is really poor!" Looking at this village with only thirty or forty houses gathered together from a distance, Mu Feng said softly.

The buildings in the village are all small wooden houses, small bamboo buildings, which look very simple, and some of the houses still have some wild animal skins hanging in front of them, which look quiet and peaceful from a distance but are poor and simple.

"Hey, little brother, this is your village?" Incompetence came to the young man who was the leader, looked at him and asked softly.

"Well, let's go down!" The young hunter nodded, and rushed down the hill quickly.

Seeing this, everyone also looked at each other, nodded to each other with a wry smile, and obediently followed him towards the small village below.

When everyone rushed down from the lower dirt slope and finally gained a foothold, more than a dozen children in the village in front of them who were originally playing saw the hunters appearing one by one and shouted loudly at the simple houses behind them with a smile.

The innocent smile they had almost never experienced since childhood, watching the children in front of them cheer because of the return of these hunters around them, they let out a soft sigh and shook their heads inexplicably.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that Zhuo Zichen and the others around him seemed to be as incompetent as they seemed to be touched, Mu Feng wondered.

"Hehe, it's nothing," Incompetent and Zhuo Zichen smiled bitterly and waved their hands gently.

"We have been practicing since we were children, and we repeat the same thing every day, which is boring practice, and while we practice, we have to face the punishment of our elders, and once upon a time we lost our smiles, and we didn't know it. I envy these children! ”

Just when Mu Feng was even more puzzled by their incompetence and their abnormal performance, Yin Feng came to Mu Feng's side, smiled bitterly, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and sighed softly as he looked at the children laughing in the village in the distance with envy in his eyes.

After listening to Yin Feng's explanation, Mu Feng suddenly realized, looking at their innocent smiles, he also thought of his past, he used to be studying hard in the study all day long since he remembered, and he would be subject to the emperor's ring ruler if he was a little wrong, and because of his identity, whoever saw him in the palace was respectful, and no one played with him at all, and gradually let him know what he was, and he developed a character that was once arrogant and empty-eyed, and completely ignored the feelings of others.

I used to stand on the walls of the tall royal palace, how envious of those children of the same age who played and played on the streets outside the city, if you have money and power, you must be happy? These children in tattered clothes, hungry and dirty, their happiness is what Mu Feng really yearns for, if time can go back, he can make a new choice, Mu Feng would rather not be born in the emperor's family, but in such an isolated poor village in an ordinary hunter's family.

"Little brother, you see it's all here, can you tell us what the fish god is now?" When everyone came to the village less than 100 meters away, a group of children in the village had already run out of the village happily and greeted the hunters.

It can be seen that many of these children are the children of these hunters, looking at their children happily, but their father and brother are not happy, and they all have sad faces and solemn expressions, seeing them like this, Mu Feng and the others also looked at each other, and they were quite emotional in their hearts, and they didn't know what to say.

Incompetent came to the young hunter led by Incompetence and asked softly.

"You'll find out later," replied the young hunter, looking at the children gathered around him, a flash of sadness in his eyes, and a soft sigh in his voice.

The six of them were "escorted" by the group of hunters into the poor village, and the ragged villagers all looked at them with strange eyes when they saw them coming.

"It seems like there are very few outsiders coming in here, right?" Looking at the surrounding villagers looking at him vigilantly but curiously, Yin Feng whispered in doubt.

"The people in this deep mountain and old forest are isolated from the world, and what is there to make a fuss about seeing us outsiders naturally novelty?" Incompetence replied with a blank look.

Under the leadership of this group of hunters, the six of them were taken to a small bamboo building in the middle of the village, and the young hunters and their companions whispered a few words and glanced at the incompetent and the others with complicated eyes, and then walked into the small bamboo building, leaving everyone outside with a dazed and bewildered expression.

At this moment, dozens of villagers had gathered outside the bamboo building, watching them talk about each other, obviously they didn't know why Mu Feng's group came here.

"Daddy, what's going on?" A middle-aged woman came to Mu Feng's side, and the middle-aged hunter looked nervously at Mu Feng and the others and asked.

"It's okay, we'll find out later." The middle-aged hunter let out a light sigh with a solemn expression and pondered for a moment, grinning at the middle-aged woman beside him.

Although these hunters tried their best to make themselves appear calm in front of their families, from their panicked and worried eyes, the villagers gathered in front of the bamboo building still had a bad premonition, which made Mu Feng and the others, who were still confused until now, feel a lot of pressure, as if they had really done something terrible, and they were now the culprits who were about to be judged.

"Didn't you just eat a fish, no, the fish hasn't been eaten yet. Fools! Looking at the nervous villagers around him, he muttered helplessly.

"What? How could such a thing happen? So what are you waiting for? Do we have to wait for the fish god to be angry with our whole village? Now take them to the edge of the holy lake and dig up their internal organs to sacrifice to the fish god! ”

Just when the incompetently muttered in a low voice, Mu Feng and the others smiled bitterly, a scolding voice suddenly came from the small bamboo building in front of them.

"What? They blasphemed the god of fish? Hearing this angry voice in the main building, the surrounding villagers were all for a while, and they all looked at Mu Feng and them with wide eyes and a look of horror, and some of the women cried when they heard this "wow", and they still chanted the words "It's over, it's all over now"

"You group of outsiders~" An old woman with tears in her hand threw the cane in her hand and pounced on the dazed impotence in front of her, and the incompetence was stunned and took a step back, and the old woman threw herself into the air at the moment when she was about to fall, and Yin Feng jumped forward and stretched out her right hand in front of her.

"Did you hear that? There's nothing we can do, just follow us! Just when the scene became a little chaotic, and everyone was caught off guard by this sudden sentence, the young hunter who had walked into the bamboo building before walked out of the bamboo building with a solemn expression and heavy steps.

"Where?" The calm smile on Yin Feng's face was also retracted, and he wondered.

"Are you really taking us to disembowel?" Incompetent, pretending to be horrified, he stepped back and said.

"Do you want to live if you offend the fish god?" At this moment, a hunched and hunched old man wearing a gray robe walked out of the bamboo building, the old man's face was full of wrinkles, his sparse hair was gray, and his eyes looked at Mu Feng and his party sharply.

"You're the village chief?" Zhuo Zichen, who was regarded as a monkey by so many people, looked a little impatient and couldn't hold back, and asked in a deep voice with a gloomy and arrogant face towards the old man in front of him who seemed to have gone through vicissitudes of life.

"Hmph, yellow-haired child, I don't know how thick the sky is. Take them to the sacred lake to worship the fish god and pray for the fish god's forgiveness! The old man ignored Zhuo Zichen's withered yellow hand and shouted at the more than a dozen hunters beside him who were angry and gnashing his teeth.

"Wait a minute, even if it's death, we have to die, right?" Impotent stepped forward and asked respectfully with a smile.

"When you get to the holy lake, you will understand!" The old man couldn't help but say and waved his hand again at the hunters beside him.

"What if we don't want to?" Zhuo Zichen's eyes converged, and he sneered coldly.

He had already restrained and tolerated it in every possible way before, but he didn't expect that after walking in the deep mountains and old forests for half an hour, he still didn't figure out anything before he was going to be taken to sacrifice to the fish god, let alone him, even Mu Feng felt a little displeased.

"Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, this sentence is really true" Yin Feng, who was next to Mu Feng, smiled bitterly, and looked at the angry villagers around him and let out a soft sigh helplessly.

"Don't want to?" After the old man and Zhuo Zichen's cold eyes looked at each other, he sneered, and his withered yellow hand stretched out from his sleeve robe, and his fingertips gently flicked a few times, and a fist-sized red flame appeared on his fingertips.

The appearance of the flame immediately attracted a burst of excited cheers from many surrounding villagers, and everyone was stunned when they saw this scene, and after a while, Zhuo Zichen and Incompetent glanced at each other, both of them smiled bitterly and shook their heads and let out a light sigh.

"You can't eat a fish, right? Besides, I didn't eat any fish! I didn't expect my predecessor to be a cultivator! Impotence chuckled and replied as he looked at the old man in front of him.

Mu Feng and Yin Feng glanced at each other, both of them frowned slightly, the strength of such a large number of old cultivators must not be underestimated, and Mu Feng also had an ominous premonition in his heart.

However, an unexpected scene happened, Zhuo Zichen sneered and stretched out his right hand from his sleeve robe to "boom", a hot and huge fireball condensed, and the dazzling firelight suddenly forced the villagers gathered around to retreat, and looked at Zhuo Zichen with a proud expression and a slight rise in the corners of his mouth.

Compared with the huge fireball in Zhuo Zichen's hand, the small flame in the old man's hand was simply insignificant, and when he saw this scene, the old man's eyes widened and he took a few steps back in horror.

"The fire of the predecessors is weak and lifeless, and it is estimated that the strength of the predecessors is only like this, right?" As soon as Zhuo Zichen's words fell, a white and flawless Xuanyun was condensed under his feet, holding a dazzling fireball burning in one hand, and stepping on Xuanyun slowly rose upward.

"You~~ You!!" Seeing that Zhuo Zichen actually condensed the appearance of Xuanyun, the old man was unstable and almost fell, and two hunters, an old man and a young man, hurriedly stepped forward to stabilize him.

"So weak?" Seeing that the old man was frightened by Zhuo Zichen, Mu Feng showed a trace of stunned expression, and thought that he was a master of the Tao who lived in seclusion, but he didn't expect to be so frightened.

"You are not a cultivator, so you don't know much about these, the flame he summoned just now is the most basic ordinary occult technique, and it is almost the same to fool children, these villagers have been isolated from the world for too long, and it is estimated that they have not seen the appearance of cultivators for a long time." Yin Feng smiled indifferently and replied softly to the many villagers who were also stunned by Zhuo Zichen's actions, and were still in place.

"Are you still determined to kill us? Seeing that the villagers around him who were still shouting and angry were trembling with fright, Zhuo Zichen nodded with satisfaction, gently dispersed the huge fireball held in his hand, and his body slowly fell to the ground lightly.

After the fireball disappeared, looking at the surrounding villagers, they were sweating and didn't dare to breathe, and they didn't know if the fireball was too hot before or what was going on, until Zhuo Zichen fell to the ground, they were still sweating out.

"You~you~ You're all monks?" The old man's voice trembled, and he looked at the six people in front of him with an incredulous expression.

"Still not convinced?" Zhuo Zichen asked in a cold voice.

"Hey! That's it, we can't stop you, so let's go. Hey, the sky is going to kill us, everyone will go and clean up, and come with me into the mountains to avoid it later. ”

Looking at Mu Feng and the others with a calm expression, the old man let out a rather sad sigh after half a sound, waved his hand again and again, shook his head, and said in a low and sad voice to the many village names beside him.

After listening to the old man's words, many villagers around him suddenly cried, and the hunters around the six people also threw their weapons on the ground, and turned to look lost and sad.

"Senior, dare to ask what is going on here? Why are you so afraid of that fish god? What the hell is that fish god? Seeing these villagers so sad and desperate, they frowned slightly, and after Zhuo Zichen and the others glanced at each other, they jumped in front of the old man and asked sincerely.

"Hey, let's go, this incident should never have happened, and you should have never been to this place, okay?" The old man let out a long sigh, looked at the impotent voice in front of him, and replied helplessly.
