Chapter 198: The Legend of Snake Mountain (Part II)
The process of the sacrifice was uneventful, there was nothing to say, everything went well.
Since the day of the sacrifice, Zhao Wenxian has never seen the mysterious black shadow again, as if the events of that night were like he was dreaming.
Unconsciously, three days passed, and on the morning of the fourth day, Zhao Wenxian had just gotten up, and Xiao Zhanghuo, who was standing guard at the door, rushed into the village chief's house in a hurry, panting heavily, and said, "The village chief...... Village Chief, ...... Hurry up to the village gate and have a look! ”
Zhao Wen knew that something must have happened as soon as he saw Xiao Zhang's appearance, so he hurriedly put on a coat and walked out.
When he came to the village gate, Zhao Wenxian saw a lot of villagers gathered at the village gate and didn't know what they were looking at, and he didn't know who shouted that the village chief was coming.
Zhao Wenxian didn't care so much, and hurriedly walked over to take a look, and the one lying on the ground turned out to be the ghost demon that harmed the Quartet!
The ghost demon was full of holes, and had been dead for a long time, Zhao Wenxian was surprised and happy to see the tragic death of this ghost demon, and was surprised that the mysterious black shadow was so sacred, and the joy was that since the ghost and demon were dead, the ghosts and ghosts on the ghost face mountain were definitely not worth mentioning, presumably they had been cleared now, and the villagers could finally live and work in peace and contentment.
However, it doesn't end there.
That night, when Zhao Wenxian was about to go to bed, the black shadow suddenly appeared on the ground again, he was still hunched, and then the mysterious voice appeared again: "Village Chief Zhao, I have solved your troubles as agreed." ”
Zhao Wen saw that it was the master who came, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Thank you master for helping to save the villagers of the five villages of Ghost Face Mountain from fire and water. ”
"No thanks, I'm not a master." The mysterious voice said, "I am the snake god, the snake god who has been cultivating for 1,700 years. ”
"Snake God ......"
Before Zhao Wen could react first, the snake god continued: "As you said, I saved the residents of your five villages, how can you thank me?" ”
"Explain in advance, I don't want your so-called money, that thing is worthless to me!"
As soon as Zhao Wenxian heard that people didn't want money, he asked: "Then what do you need, can you mention the old decay, as long as the old decay can do it, I will do my best." ”
"What I want is actually very simple, and I won't embarrass you." The snake god said.
"First, Ghost Face Mountain will not be called Ghost Face Mountain from now on, it will be renamed Snake Mountain!"
"It's no problem, I don't need to discuss it with others, I just agreed." Zhao Wenxian said briskly.
The villagers don't care much about whether this mountain is called Ghost Face Mountain or Snake Mountain, as long as it doesn't affect everyone's life, what they like to call it.
The snake god was very satisfied with Zhao Wenxian's words, the head of the black shadow on the ground nodded slightly, and continued: "Second, I also need you to build a snake temple for me, perennial incense offerings, and you must call me the snake god, of course, this will not let you do it in vain, I will ensure that you will enjoy peace forever in this area of Snake Mountain from now on, and any demons and monsters will not want to disturb your life, and you can also come to the snake temple to find me if you have any needs." ”
Zhao Wenxian also readily agreed after hearing this, isn't it just to build a temple, if the snake god can really protect the snake mountain area from now on to enjoy peace forever, this is also a sure deal.
"Third, this is also the last requirement, there is a bamboo forest on Snake Mountain, after passing through the bamboo forest, it is the depths of Snake Mountain, the depths of Snake Mountain are the holy land of my snake clan from today onwards, humans are not allowed to set foot in it, if you violate it, you will bear the consequences!"
"This ...... Lord Snake God, the first two are easy to say, but this third old decay is difficult to agree! Zhao Wenxian said with a bitter face: "Our people here have lived in Snake Mountain for generations, and the work of chopping wood and carrying water can only be done in the depths of Snake Mountain, if you don't let us go into the depths of Snake Mountain, how can we live!" ”
"This one is not negotiable, my snake clan needs such a habitat as Snake Mountain, if you are chopping wood and carrying water, my snake god will meet your needs." The snake god said: "You must vacate the depths of the snake mountain for me, I will give you three days to think about it, and after thinking about it, you will sacrifice to my snake god at the foot of the snake mountain." ”.
After speaking, the snake god disappeared in an instant, and he didn't speak to Zhao Wen at all
Opportunity, Zhao Wenxian already felt faintly uneasy in his heart, the words of the snake god just now were full of undeniable tones, looking at the depths of the momentum snake mountain, he was bound to win, if he didn't agree to him.....
Thinking about the tragic death of that powerful ghost, Zhao Wenxian couldn't help but feel a chill in his back, he finally felt that he might not have invited such a great god to help them solve the ghost demon in the first place, as the so-called inviting god is easy to send god, this time he can be regarded as completely understanding the meaning of these words.
It was useless to regret it at this point, Zhao Wenxian could only discuss with a few other village chiefs how to meet the needs of the snake god, and they believed that they would definitely not end well if they provoked this snake god.
Three days later, they held a sacrifice for the snake god, welcomed the snake god to settle in Snake Mountain, and on the day of the sacrifice, they started to build a snake temple on a flat terrain on Snake Mountain.
After the end of the sacrifice, three days later, there was a sudden earthquake near the snake mountain, the earthquake caused a large landslide on the rocks on the mountain, Zhao Wenxian thought that the earthquake would cause heavy losses to the village, and countless families were destroyed, but what people didn't expect was that this earthquake didn't say that the dead people, even the houses did not collapse, and there was nothing less than food and poultry.
After the earthquake, the topography of Snake Mountain also changed, and a clear spring flowed down from Snake Mountain, gathering at the foot of the mountain to form a lake, just enough for the residents of the five major villages to carry water.
After this incident, the people in the village were talking about the possibility that the snake god of Snake Mountain might have deliberately launched it in order to solve the problem of convenient draft.
Seven days later, on this night, Zhao Wen fell asleep and had a strange dream, dreaming of a colorful python, which spat out and said, "I am the snake god, you will send someone to scatter these bags of things on the barren land of Snake Mountain tomorrow." ”
After speaking, Zhao Wenxian was frightened awake, and when he opened it, he found that there were five or six large bags under his bed, and he didn't know what was in them.
Driven by curiosity, Zhao Wen opened one of the bags first, and saw that it contained some beans the size of broad beans, and he didn't know what it was.
Early the next morning, Zhao Wenxian did what the snake god in his dream would do, and sent someone to sprinkle these five or six bags of beans on the barren land of Snake Mountain.
As soon as the scattering was finished, it began to rain heavily on Snake Mountain, and this rain fell for a whole day.
After the rain and the sunny weather, the villagers found that the original land was barren and the soil that was not suitable for vegetation growth had inexplicably become fertile, not only that, but small saplings also grew in the place where the beans given by the snake god had been sprinkled on the snake mountain.
Although Zhao Wenxian also understands that this snake god may not be a good thing, but what it is doing so far has helped the villagers of Snake Mountain a lot, and everyone's life is better than when the ghost was there before, I don't know how many times.
In the following year, the wind and rain were smooth up and down the snake mountain, and the original sparse vegetation places were also overgrown with flowers and trees, which completely changed the appearance of the snake mountain, and the villagers of the snake mountain harvested the land every year is also very prosperous, and the grain crops in the nearby town belong to the snake mountain are sold the best, all of which are the blessing of the snake god!
However, no one has ever set foot in the depths of Snake Mountain, and over time, some people can't help but wonder, what is in the depths of Snake Mountain? What does that mysterious snake god look like?
Although curiosity has been driving the villagers of Snake Mountain, but everyone has always had a sense of awe for the snake god, this year, the snake temple has also been built, if every household has any need will go to the snake temple to pray to the snake god, and the snake god is like a living Bodhisattva, there is a request, as long as it is not too excessive, the requirements are basically realized.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Snake Mountain has passed thirty years under the protection of the snake god.
In the past 30 years, the villagers of Snake Mountain have been living a peaceful life under the protection of the snake god, but such peace is by no means eternal.
One morning, several trucks came near Snake Mountain, they stopped at the gate of the village where Zhao Wenxian was, and a dozen plainly dressed people walked down from the car, some of them were men and women, most of them were young people, and the leader was a middle-aged man who was nearly fifty years old.
At this time, Zhao Wenxian, who was already eighty years old, heard that more than a dozen city people had come to the village, and hurriedly went out to greet him.
As soon as he arrived at the village gate, Zhao Wenxian saw that those city people were warmly greeting the villagers, and some of them even gave some things from the city to the local residents.
Zhao Wenxian hurriedly stepped forward and asked what they were here for, and the middle-aged man led by the team stood up, shook hands with Zhao Wenxian, and introduced himself: "Village Chief Zhao, hello, my name is Li Deyu, we are from the national archaeological team, according to our information, there should be a tomb of an ancient big man on your Snake Mountain, we came here to go to Snake Mountain to find out." ”
As soon as Zhao Wenxian heard that they were going to Snake Mountain, he immediately screamed: "No, absolutely not!" ”
Li Deyu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Zhao Wenxian's reaction so much, Zhao Wenxian also realized that he might have scared others, and hurriedly said: "Professor Li, it's not that I don't let you go to Snake Mountain, but I really can't be the master of this matter." ”
Li Deyu asked Zhao Wenxian what difficulties he had, Zhao Wenxian told Li Deyu about the snake god, Li Deyu nodded again and again after hearing it, and said: "Oh, I really didn't expect it, Snake Mountain is actually blessed by gods, it is abrupt." ”
Zhao Wenxian let out a sigh of relief and said, "Professor Li, it's great that you can think like this, to be honest, I'm afraid that you won't believe what I say, if it weren't for my personal experience, I wouldn't believe in the existence of the snake god if I was killed." ”
