I saw that the old man who had been wrapped in a tight frame had already sat up at some point, and was standing behind me, opening his mouth and about to bite off my shoulder.

, what's the situation, it was okay just now, why did you become a walking corpse after a while?

Fuck, dead people eat candy, what a bad omen!

I froze and punched the old man on the cheeks, and the old man was beaten by me and spun around in place, and his mouth full of corn particles seemed to fall to the ground.

Tang Benchu also reacted, rushed over to help me, kicked on the back of the old man's corpse, and wanted to kick the old man away, but the old man's body was as hard as iron and stone, and he couldn't kick it at all, but instead hugged Tang Benchu's leg and brought Tang Benchu to a stumbling side: "Oh, Master, help me......"

I threw Lu Hengchuan to Wang Deguang, and folded the old man's wrist backwards, and with a "snap", the old man's limbs were all broken by me, and I kicked the old man against the wall, and the old man still stretched out his hand to grab it!

And it doesn't matter if I grasp it, I can see that the old man's nails are dark purple, and the old man's seven orifices are slowly bleeding out, I understand at once, this old man looks like he is dying, in fact, he was poisoned just now!

Your mother, give people a good life, and after their birthday, they will be poisoned and sacrificed, which serious god will let believers do this, unless...... It's the same as the one-legged god I met in Xiangxi before!

At this moment, a very stupid-looking person came to the mountain temple, fifty or sixty years old, wearing an apron and holding a broom and mop, looking like he was coming to clean the mountain temple, as soon as he came in to look at us, he was stunned, and then opened his mouth, made a sound of "Abba Aba", and was about to run out.

It's a mute...... But this mute must know the inside story!

I immediately jumped over, dragged him back, and gestured to him in sign language, saying that we are not bad people, and I want to inquire about this mountain temple.

Where did the dumb man "listen" in, his face was panicked, and he tried to hit me with his mop, he raised his hand like this, I saw him with a kettle tied to his ribs, and immediately gestured to him, are you short of money now? If you're in a hurry, I've got some for you, and you just have to tell me something.

This dumb man is a worker, and the worker brings water, isn't it just the word "river"? Jiang Zi happens to mean "half empty of wealth", and he must be in urgent need of money to do something now.

Sure enough, as soon as the dumb man heard this, he immediately widened his eyes, and looked at me in disbelief, I beckoned to Wang Deguang, Wang Deguang, as the chief financial officer, immediately took a handful of money, and the dumb man hesitated for a moment, and took it tremblingly, and at the same time looked at me with a suspicious look, as if asking me what I wanted to ask.

I compared our intentions and asked them why they had poisoned people here.

The mute shuddered at first, hesitating to return the money to us, but he was a little reluctant.

I promised again and again that I would not tell me about it, and then I nodded when I looked at the old man's corpse, and at the same time looked around vigilantly, and then led us aside.

There is a hut next to this mountain temple, which is the residence of the mute, and when I go in, I see that there is a little girl of six or seven years old, I don't know what disease she has, her limbs are as thin as hemp poles, her belly is very bulging, her face is sallow, it seems that there may be liver problems, no wonder the dumb is so anxious to ask for money, she must want to treat this little girl.

Then the dumb man pulled a stool for us, and began to play sign language, and compared with me about the mountain temple.

It turns out that at the beginning, this mountain temple is also a serious mountain temple, everyone has nothing to do to give incense, not particularly pious, but not particularly cold, just hit the leg of the mountain god was sawed by the little girl in the legend, this mountain god suddenly came true.

You go and pray, saying that your chicken is lost, and you can find it the next day, and you pray that it will rain tomorrow, and the rice will not survive, and you will be allowed to meet it the next day.

Everyone got the favor of the mountain god, and they were very grateful to the mountain god, but at this time, the mountain god came to support the dream, saying that he was cut off by the little girl and his mother, and this leg was not good, and people had to sacrifice to bless the big guy again, otherwise he would not be able to support the mountain to carry the waterlogging, and the village would be unlucky.

The villagers asked what kind of sacrifice was needed.

The mountain god replied, "I want someone."

The villagers were frightened when they heard this, pigs, sheep and cows are okay, but how can people come out?

So the big guys put it together, pushing back and forth, and no one was willing to kill themselves or their relatives and put them on the platform of the mountain god.

So when it came to the time set by the mountain god, in the middle of the night, a flash flood broke out, bringing a mudslide, washing away half of the village, and killing a hundred and ten people.

The villagers were dumbfounded...... Yes, is it to sacrifice one person, or to sacrifice a hundred and ten? It's not a good deal!

Then they dreamed of the mountain god's dream, saying that it was not the mountain god himself who wanted to reduce the disaster, but that his legs could not be healed and could not bear it, so the villagers could do it for themselves.

As soon as the villagers summed up, well, Hengzhu had already died so many people, so they took one from among the corpses and made an offering—but the mountain god Tuomeng was furious, what is a sacrifice?

The people who are killed specifically for the mountain god are called sacrifices! Even if you usually worship your ancestors, will you use the cattle and sheep that died of plague to worship your ancestors?

The villagers were frightened, and in order to save the remaining villagers, they put together the little girl who had cut the leg of the mountain god, but the woman was very fierce, and the villagers invited her to drink and poisoned her, so they sacrificed her body on the sacrificial platform of the mountain temple.

And when the sacrifice was being made, the villagers were worshipping, and suddenly they heard a "click" sound from the altar, and when they looked up, they saw the corpse of the little girl and her mother, and in front of everyone's eyes, it became a skeleton - as if they had been eaten by something they could not see!

At first, the villagers were scared and didn't know what to do, and one family secretly wanted to move away, but when they went down the mountain, they encountered a rockfall on the top of the mountain, and even the people with their luggage were smashed flat, and the villagers knew that the mountain god would not let his people go!

These people did not dare to move, and only on the fifteenth day of July every year, they poisoned a person to the mountain god and sacrificed it, and this custom has been until now.

Slowly, the sacrificer also has a rule - the relics of the last dead person will appear in the home of the next sacrifice, which is called "funeral letter", like a pair of scissors, a shoe, as long as you look at it, it is used by the last dead person, then it is all right, this year's sacrifice, your family.

No, in this old birthday star's house, there was a cigarette pouch that the last old lady who died in the mountain temple smoked when she was alive, so the old birthday star died generously like a lamb to be slaughtered.

There is also an unwritten rule in the village that before the sacrifice, the damned man will be given a table of flowing water, on the one hand, to thank the person for contributing himself to the village, and on the other hand, to celebrate that the year can finally be spent safely.

We just happened to catch up with this one - the effect of the medicine should have arrived in the middle of the night, but this old man may be too old and not very resistant to poison, so he died early, so the villagers were also caught off guard, so they drove us away and came to take care of the sacrifices.

Speaking of this, the dumb man cautiously compared with me, and let us ask for more blessings for ourselves - because once outsiders come to the village during the disaster sacrifice, the mountain god will be unhappy, and these outsiders will generally not be able to eat the mountain god who will collide, if these outsiders are not also sacrificed to the mountain god, let the outsiders run away, then the mountain god will also come to the disaster.

That's why those people from the village desperately went to find us.

"Master, this is too evil...... Tang Benchu pulled me: "What's so greasy in this?" ”

The cat is greasy, that hurtful thing has been pretending to be the mountain god, and today should be the time for it to pretend to be the head, and after eating the sacrifice, his ability should be strong enough to treat the entire village as his own sacrifice.
