( ) "Run!! ”

I yelled, then jerked away from the villagers around me and turned around and ran towards the hillside where we could get out of the village, even though I knew that the road would not allow us to leave the village, but at least it would not be a dead end for us to be blocked by the villagers.

Qiao Wei and Chang Le also reacted synchronously with me, only Ye Chen was half a beat slower, but Chang Le, who was closest to him, still dragged him and rushed out of the encirclement of the villagers with him.

I looked back as I ran out of the village, but fortunately, there were only a dozen or so villagers chasing after me, and the others were just standing in the tree pit and looking at us, as if they didn't mean to chase us.

If there are only a dozen people, I am not particularly worried, after all, with my current strength, it should not be a big problem to deal with three or five alone, not to mention that it is already dark now, Qiao Wei gets a mud arhat out, let alone a dozen people, even if the whole village comes together, it may not be able to hurt us in the slightest.

But here's the problem, we're investigating the gate of the underworld, not to attack the villagers, so force is just a last resort.

The four of us ran to the hillside in one go, because it had just fallen from a torrential rain, and the bottom of the hillside had become a muddy pool, and my feet were in the mud as if they had been grabbed by several hands, and each step was very difficult. After passing through the muddy area, the next grassy slope became more difficult, after the rain washed away, the grassy slope became extremely slippery, I was the first to rush up the hill, but after less than three meters of climbing, my feet slipped out of the hillside and slipped down.

I'm here on the hillside for a long time, and the weird villagers of Golden Cicada Village are chasing after me from behind.

"If you can't do it, you can only restrain them first!" After Chang Le finished speaking, he also turned to face the villagers who were chasing after him, obviously he had given up his plan to escape to the mountain.

"Ye Chen, go behind me!" I could only cooperate and shouted while dragging Ye Chen, so that the rich man could temporarily hide in a relatively safe area.

At this time, the villagers had already chased after us and surrounded the four of us at the bottom of the hillside, and their number was not the first dozen, and there were other villagers chasing after them, and it seemed that it would not be long before the whole village would come out of the hole.

"Don't underestimate the enemy, and remember to keep your hands, don't make trouble." Chang Le turned his head sideways to Qiao Wei and said.

"I know what to do." Qiao Wei answered, and then bent down and grabbed a large handful of mud from the ground.

The mud that is not lacking in the mountains after the rain, and these things are excellent weapons for Qiao Wei, as Qiao Wei threw the mud out, a mud ball also quickly rolled on the ground and rolled bigger and bigger, two seconds later, a nearly three-meter-high mud arhat also stood in front of us, forming a strong barrier.

The villagers were visibly frightened, and many of them screamed in surprise and fell backwards one after another, some even kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to the mud arhats. I never thought of this reaction, and Qiao Wei and Chang Le were also taken aback.

I cautiously took a step forward to Qiao Wei's side, and the villagers did not react to my movements, their eyes were all focused on the mud arhat, and their faces finally showed an expression of fear or awe.

"They can't be gods of the mud arhats, do they?" I whispered in Qiao Wei's ear.

"Possibly." Qiao Wei also whispered a reply to me, and then began to control the clay arhat to make some small movements.

The Arhat took a small step forward, and the villagers immediately took a big step backwards, putting a greater distance from the Arhat. Then the Arhat slowly raised his two large hands, which were completely disproportionate to his body, and raised them high above his head, and the villagers immediately imitated the movements of the Arhat and raised their hands above their heads, and then knelt down together to bow down to the Arhat.

Qiao Wei does not need any gestures or words to give instructions to the Arhat, but only needs to convey the instructions through his thoughts, so in the eyes of the villagers, the Arhat is not controlled by people, it is just a huge monster that can move on its own.

Or rather, the manifestation of the mountain god.

Whatever the villagers thought of it, it would be nice to have them stop attacking us, and the rest seemed to be a little easier.

I walked around behind Chang Le and whispered to him, "Just get your tiger out too, and let's be the god of the village." ”

Chang Le turned around and nodded at me with a wicked smile, then reached out and wiped his eyebrows. With a flash of bright light, the huge white tiger also jumped out from the top of Chang Le's head, and this time the villagers let out a series of exclamations, and the frequency of bowing was also significantly accelerated.

However, it is not us that the villagers are afraid of, but the mud arhats and the white tiger gods, so we must let these villagers know who is at the top. So Chang Le was the first to turn over and ride on the tiger's back, while Qiao Wei and I walked to the mud arhat, and then stepped on its arm and climbed onto the mud arhat's broad shoulders.

"Don't bow down, get up." Chang Le, who was on the tiger's back, said as he raised his hand to signal the villagers to all stand up.

His words were so good that the villagers stopped bowing and got up from the ground, and then continued to look at us with awe, including the village chief, who had treated us badly before.

Chang Le pointed to the village chief and said, "You! Come out. ”

The village chief was stunned for a moment, then obediently walked out of the crowd, and bowed respectfully to Chang Le, and asked, "What do the mountain gods command?" ”

"Mountain God? Hum! Chang Le laughed, "Very good, you finally recognized us, do you know what we mean by coming to you this time?" ”

The village chief stared at Chang Le stunned and shook his head.

Chang Le continued to deliberately pretend to be deep and said: "I know that someone is pretending to be a mountain god, and the real god will not ask you to donate blood, nor will he let you drink blood!" I'm not actually a mountain god, just a representative of the mountain god, I came here this time to find out the false god instead of the mountain god, do you understand? ”

Chang Le's words immediately caused an uproar among the villagers.

Without waiting for the village chief to answer, Chang Le immediately continued: "You must have seen that rockery god before, right?" Otherwise, you wouldn't know who we are! ”

This time, the village chief nodded happily.

"That's it, tell me where I can find that rockery. Also, was the road outside the village also touched by the rockery god? Did you bring back the bodies of the four men we brought? ”

"We didn't move the corpse!" The village chief hurriedly waved his hand.

"Why are you dead when you haven't moved?!" Chang Le asked.

"It's a mountain...... The rockery god took it away, I think it should be. Mountain...... No, the rockery god will always kill those who disrespect him and then take them away, and the people in the village can't leave the village, as long as they walk out of the village, they will bleed all over their bodies and can't stop. ”

"Okay, I'll believe you about this, let's talk about the other two questions, what's going on on this road outside the village, why can you go out but we can't get out? Also, where can I find that rockery god? ”

"The road outside the village was made for us by a master who came to the village before, and there were golden cicadas in the village at that time, and thieves often came to the village to steal things, so we asked someone to make the road outside the village. In fact, there are a total of four paths on the road, one of which is hidden and difficult to find is the way out of the village, and the other three are a maze that makes people go around in circles. ”

"Labyrinth? So why do we walk back so quickly into the village? Chang Le said strangely.

"This ...... I don't understand this, it was all designed by that master, we just take care of those roads every day according to his method, and they can really help the village prevent thieves. ”

"Well, let's put it aside first, and say that the rockery god, where can I find him." Chang Ledao.

"At the end of the village, there is also a path into the mountain, from which you can walk all the way to a mountain temple, where the statue of the mountain god has been worshipped for a long time, and when we go to worship the mountain god, we can occasionally see the mountain god appear."

"Is it like this?" Chang Le pointed to the mud arhat and patted the white tiger's head again, and the white tiger also let out a shocking tiger roar.

The village chief shuddered at the tiger's roar, and the other villagers took several steps back.

"Don't be afraid, the real mountain god will not bully good people, tell me about the apparition." Chang Le said with a deliberate smile.

The village chief swallowed his saliva, then nodded and said, "I have seen a few apparitions, that is, the statue of the mountain god moved his eyes slightly, and his hands also moved, but the movement was not large, and there was no ...... There is no ......" The village chief's eyes looked at the side of the mud arhat, probably because he really didn't know what to call the mud arhat, so he was speechless for a while.

"So I tell you, that God is false! Okay, after the question is asked, take us to the mountain temple in the back mountain, and we will meet the rockery god. Chang Ledao.

"This ......," the village chief visibly looked surprised.

"What? Do you not want to, or don't you dare? Chang Le asked.

"Well, I don't dare." The village chief hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in acknowledgement.

I understand the village chief's fear, no matter what the mountain god is, he does have the ability to make the villagers bleed inexplicably, and the villagers do have reason to be afraid.

I coughed lightly at Chang Le, Chang Le immediately understood what I meant, he nodded lightly, and then said to the village chief: "Okay, I don't embarrass you, you just need to take me to the intersection of the back mountain, you don't have to worry about other things, it's always okay, right?" ”

"This one does! This can be !! The village chief nodded as if he had been amnesty, and then he immediately shouted for all the villagers to go home, and then he himself led the four of us to the back mountain.
