Chapter 25: Blame
"Offended the mountain ghost, this is going to die!" An old man cried out in panic. "You strangers, if you cause something and pat your buttocks, you can leave, we will all be killed by you!"
"That's right! What can I do? ”
"The mountain ghosts will definitely get revenge."
"It's over!"
Someone burst into tears.
Lu Xiaoling: They were so surprised that they couldn't say anything.
"Tie them up and plead with the mountain ghosts, right?" In the crowd, someone suddenly shouted.
"yes, yes, that's the only solution!"
People's eyes changed suddenly, and they each held farm tools and sticks in their hands, and they faintly surrounded Lu Xiaoling and Sun Yang.
Lu Xiaoling felt a burst of anger in her heart, these people didn't have the courage to face the monsters who really bullied them, but they could attack humans like themselves!
It's no wonder that these monsters, which don't have a climate at all, have been able to dominate this mountain all the time.
"They've all been killed, even the biggest one has been killed, but it's just animals! What are you afraid of! She shouted, but instead of dispersing, the people pressed over to them.
Xu Hai's face changed and he took out the pistol, which made the villagers take a few steps back.
"Don't be afraid of him, his little gun isn't very powerful!" Someone said hiding in the crowd.
"Enough!" Elder Barong suddenly shouted, and the people's footsteps finally stopped.
Everyone turned to look at him.
"Li Gui, Ba Li, you go and take a look at the place where the sound came from, be careful!" He casually arranged, and the villagers he called by their names looked embarrassed, and Barong alone gave them an amulet before they set off reluctantly.
Lu Xiaoling's heart was deeply stabbed, she sneered and didn't say a word.
"Elder Barong, what about them?" A villager asked. "Do you want to be caught first?"
Barong glared at him, if they could really kill the giant mountain ghosts, could the thirty or forty villagers here really keep them?
"Several, please come and sit down inside." He said to them expressionlessly. "It's too big, we need to confirm it."
Sun Yang and the others were taken to the room on the third floor and sat down, and someone poured water for them, but Barong was the only one who sat in the room with them, and the villagers still stood outside with tools and sticks, as if they were afraid that they would run away.
"Elder Baron." Sun Yang took out the insect flute, and Ba Long's expression changed suddenly. "We have already obtained this thing as agreed, when will we be taken to save Master Cao?" Sun Yang continued.
Barong didn't answer, but reached out and took the worm flute with a look of surprise.
With Huang Dou here, Sun Yang was not afraid that he would be a bad old man and pay his debts, so he let him observe and study it repeatedly.
"I see." Baron said suddenly.
He lifted the flute up, pointed his mouth at a small hole in the back of the worm's body, and then pressed his hands on either side of it where it should have been legs, and tried to blow it.
A shrill voice whined.
Baron immediately stopped.
"How?" Sun Yang asked.
"I'll have to spend some more experiments, but it can't be here, it would be bad if I brought the pythons here." Baron said.
"You can experiment slowly on the road." Lu Xiaoling said. "Let's go now!" She was so angry that she didn't want to stay any longer.
Barong didn't answer, he looked at the worm flute in his hand, as if thinking about something.
"What do you mean?" Lu Xiaoling became angry again.
"Now is not the time." Baron raised his head and said. "Even if I am willing to let you go, the villagers will not agree, and we will wait for the people who have seen the situation to come back."
Lu Xiaoling snorted, and Ba Long didn't care, he beckoned outside, and asked a villager to prepare pack horses and some herbs and other things according to his instructions.
Seeing that he began to prepare for hair, Lu Xiaoling's anger finally subsided.
At this moment, the villagers outside were in a commotion.
"It's back! It's back! ”
There was a commotion outside, and many people ran downstairs to be the first to know the truth of the matter, Sun Yang and they also walked out of the room, only to see the surprise on the faces of those two people, and shouted breathlessly: "It's really dead!" There are hundreds! The biggest one is also dead, it's taller than the house! ”
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Someone screamed in panic.
"What we saw with our own eyes was in the forest in front of Ghost King Mountain! Don't believe it and see for yourselves! ”
"All dead?"
"At least hundred!" They waved their hands and described what they saw to the villagers, and some villagers couldn't help but raise their heads, and everyone looked at Sun Yang, Lu Xiaoling, and Huang Dou, and their eyes suddenly became in awe.
But some people still didn't believe it, so more people began to run towards that place, and since the previous two people had returned safely, they didn't worry about their safety.
Lu Xiaoling snorted from her nose, and now no one was eyeing them anymore, on the contrary, people carefully avoided them, and some people brought them snacks such as warm rice wine and peanuts.
"Can we go now?" Lu Xiaoling asked.
"Let me see their corpses with my own eyes, too." Baron said.
The wrinkles on his face seemed to sink deep and suddenly.
The villagers believed in him and respected him because he could communicate with the mountain ghosts, could give the villagers amulets to ensure that they would not be harmed by the mountain ghosts when they went up the mountain to work, and could even protect the villagers' land from the scourge of the mountain ghosts, but if the mountain ghosts were really all killed, what would he rely on to maintain his position? How can the villagers continue to listen to him?
This time, it's really shooting yourself in the foot!
He raised his head again and looked at Huang Dou, this person gave him a very dangerous feeling, if it weren't for him, he would have incited the villagers to do it just now.
Sun Yang and the others had to continue to wait, and after more than an hour, the second group of villagers ran back excitedly and began to tell the villagers who had not yet seen the corpse of the giant mountain ghost.
They looked at Sun Yang and their eyes became more and more awe-inspiring, in their eyes, the mountain ghosts were the invincible rulers of this mountainous area, and these three young men were able to kill them? So how good should they be?
After a while, Elder Baron also returned.
"Elder Barong!" People looked at him excitedly, as if waiting for him to give a definite answer.
"The giant mountain ghosts are dead, but not all the mountain ghosts have been killed." Baron said in a gloomy voice. "Judging from the traces at the scene, there are still many that have run away."
All at once the people panicked.
Jiaoxi Village and several surrounding villages are in the hinterland of Nanyou Mountain, there is almost no flat land around, and all the fields are carved out by ancestors in the mountains for generations, and they are very scattered.
Many times the villagers had to walk miles to the mountains away from other people's homes to farm, and the fact that the mountain ghosts were not killed meant that they were likely to be retaliated against at any time when they went out to work!
Everyone knows how powerful the mountain ghosts are, and they all know what their temperament is.
What should I do?
Some timid women were already sitting on the ground and weeping bitterly.
Before, they could turn their fear into persecution of Sun Yang and others, but now, they no longer dare to do anything to Sun Yang and them, and when they are helpless, many people actually hold their heads, pull their hair, and sigh in pain.
"What are you afraid of them for? They're just bigger monkeys! Lu Xiaoling couldn't understand, she said loudly.
"You're a mage, of course it's easy to say!" A villager said boldly. "How can we be their opponents...... I was really killed by you! ”
"Why are you doing this!" An elderly woman said with tears in her eyes. "Can't we live in peace? Why do you want to harm us? ”
Lu Xiaoling was stunned and couldn't say a word.
