After speaking, there was a sigh below, and the villagers knew that if they put their hands into the jar, they would definitely die, but because of the authority of the red-faced wizard, no one dared to raise objections.

Everyone held their breath as they waited for the wizard to announce their choice.

The red-faced wizard looked at Zhu Yan Jin with bad intentions, and with a weird smile on the corner of his mouth, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhu Yan Jin.

"That's him. ”

Zhuyan Jin was stunned, and immediately realized that this was a trap, thinking of Zhang Qi's expression before, it must be Zhang Qi and the wizard who wanted to put themselves to death.

The villagers breathed a sigh of relief, glad that they didn't choose themselves, and then they sympathized with Zhu Yanjin, remembering Zhu Yanjin's heroic appearance when he scared Zhang Qi away a few days ago, everyone only felt sorry in their hearts, but no one dared to go against the will of the wizard.

Only Xiaozhu jumped out and complained for Zhuyan Jin: "No, there are poisonous snakes here, and Gongzi will die." ”

Xiaozhu grabbed Zhu Yanjin's hand, and just wanted to pull Zhu Yanjin out of here. After getting along well for the past few days, she knew that Childe was a good person and a good person to her, and she didn't want to see Childe get hurt.

At this time, Zhang Qiyi tore Xiaozhu's hand away and sneered: "This is the will of the gods, do you want to disobey it, it will bring bad luck to the village." ”

As soon as Zhang Qi said this, even if the villagers sympathized with Zhu Yanjin, they didn't dare to speak.

Zhang Qi is very proud, he has suffered a lot of sins because of Zhuyan Jin, and now he can finally take revenge, he now wants to see Zhuyan Jin kneeling and begging for mercy.

However, Zhu Yanjin's expression was calm, without a trace of panic, and he comforted Xiaozhu a few words: "Don't worry, isn't it just a jar, I'll be back in a while." ”

Zhang Qi couldn't hold back his laughter, he thought that Zhu Yanjin was scared stupid, and put his hand into the jar full of poisonous snakes, and actually wanted to come back alive.

Xiaozhu cried wowly, crying very hurtfully, like parting from life and death.

The villagers are all feeling sorry for Zhuyan Jin, and the atmosphere is depressing.

Zhu Yanjin walked towards the altar step by step, he was actually very relaxed, he didn't worry about it at all, he was immortal, and he could live well if his head fell off, how could he be afraid of this snake venom?

Zhu Yanjin plunged directly into the jar with one hand, and his expression on his face changed.

Seeing this scene, the village chief, who had been pretending to be calm, finally showed his joy and was done.

Zhang Qi and the red-faced wizard sneered on the side, but they laughed and laughed, and gradually froze.

It stands to reason that it is time for the snake venom to attack, but Zhu Yanjin has no signs of poisoning.

The Great Wizard hurriedly pulled out Zhu Yanjin's hand, and saw that there were several snake bite marks on his hand, and then he looked at the snakes in the jar, nothing was wrong, but why wasn't he poisoned?

The wizard and Zhang Qi stared at each other, and they were overjoyed.

The villagers also looked incredulous, looking at Zhuyan Jin like a god, this person who can be unscathed must be a celestial.

Xiaozhu didn't even have time to wipe away his tears, so he cried out happily: "I know that Gongzi is not an ordinary person, you see, he is really ......"

Seeing this, the village chief returned to his peaceful appearance, he walked up, first complimented Zhu Yanjin a few words, and then said:

"God is merciful, he will not take people's lives for no reason, and if the son can be safe and sound, it must be the favor of God and the wizard. ”

Zhuyan Jin secretly said that the words of the village chief instantly turned a failed trap into the favor of God, which not only eliminated the suspicion of the villagers, but also increased the prestige of the wizard.

Takeyan Jin also took the opportunity to say, "When I put my hand into the altar, I heard God's instructions. ”

"What did God say?"

The crowd followed and asked.

Zhuyan Jin joked: "God praised me for my piety and rewarded me with this altar snake." ”

"Impossible!"

The wizard stared at Zhu Yanjin angrily, these poisonous snakes are rare breeds in the world, the wizard went through a lot of twists and turns to get them, and they were ready to keep the poison refining, how could such a precious thing be given to others out of thin air?

"Is this a disobedience to God's will, Lord Sorcerer? ”

Zhu Yanjin continued to tease.

The red-faced wizard was already so angry that his face turned purple, and his teeth grinded to a "snort" sound, and he couldn't wait to eat Zhuyan Jin.

But he finally held back, regained his senses, and in front of so many people, he could only eat Coptis dumb and handed the jar to Zhuyan Jin.

"Do the will of God, and the serpent is yours. ”

Zhu Yanjin took the jar, glanced at the red-faced wizard meaningfully, turned around and pulled Xiaozhu and Zhang Laoweng out, and said as he walked:

"I went back to eat snake soup in the evening, it was delicious. ”

The red-faced wizard clenched his fists in anger, his nails digging deep into the flesh, blood dripping from his fingers.

On the way back, Xiaozhu grabbed Zhu Yanjin's hand, looked left and right, but didn't find the wound, and asked curiously: "Childe, why is your wound just gone?"

"I'm in good health and healing from my wounds quickly. ”

"Oh. ”

In the early morning, Zhang Laoweng sat in front of the door, inhaling the cold air, and drinking sullen wine alone.

"Squeak", the door opened, and Zhu Yanjin walked out, a little surprised to see Zhang Laoweng.

"You, do you have something to do with me?"

Zhang Laoweng wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind to speak: "Childe, the old body thought about it all night last night, and I want to tell you some things, wizards are a little weird. ”

Zhu Yanjin had already guessed the wizard's abnormality, but he still pretended to be surprised and said, "How can you see it?"

The village chief paused, lost in memory.

"Ten years ago, the village was haunted, specializing in arresting young men and women, and many young people in the village suffered, and Xiaozhu's father and mother were also not there at that time. ”

Zhuyan Jin said secretly: No wonder I rarely see the young and strong men in the village, it turned out that he was haunted and died ten years ago.

"Just when the big guy was about to despair, a family moved to the village, and the head of the family brought in a sorcerer to exorcise evil spirits in the village, and since then, the village has never been haunted again. ”

In order to thank the head of the village, the old village chief gave him the position of village chief, who is now the head of the village, and the sorcerer is also worshipped as a god by the villagers. ”

"But the other day the wizard asked us to hunt for him the sturdy bears, deer, pigs, and other wild beasts, and asked them to live when they had to live, and I did not understand what he was going to do. ”

"The day before yesterday, I went to the cave where he lived to deliver prey, and when I was done, I sneaked into the cave while the wizard was not paying attention, and I, I saw, saw, saw. ”

Zhang Laoweng gasped, his expression was dull, and his pupils were full of horror.

"I saw a big pool in the cave, and the water in the pool was bright red, and it was all blood, and it was all blood! I saw that there were many bones in the pool, and I was sure that they were not of beasts, but of men, and the whole cave smelled of blood. ”

Zhang Laoweng was scared when he thought about it, and continued: "After I came back, I didn't dare to mention what I saw to anyone, after all, the wizard has taken good care of the people in the village over the years and is highly respected. ”

Suddenly, Zhang Laoweng held Zhu Yanjin's hand and said solemnly: "Childe, the wizard is not simple, he wanted to harm you yesterday, you must be careful in the future." ”

Looking at the seriousness on the old man's face, Zhu Yanjin nodded seriously.

Zhang Laoweng left with peace of mind.

Zhu Yanjin looked at his old back, and couldn't help but be a little moved, Zhang Laoweng waited for him early in the morning, and specially reminded himself to be careful of wizards, the feeling of being cared for is always so warm.

I was so lucky to meet this pair of grandchildren in the vast sea of people.

Then, Zhu Yanjin began to practice again, and he had been practicing hard for the past few days, but there was no progress, and the aura disappeared inexplicably as soon as it entered his body.

He used his divine sense to enter his body again, followed his veins, and probed all the way to the dantian, but found no abnormality, and just as he was about to give up, a blue ball of light in the depths of the dantian caught his attention.

A few days ago, he found this blue ball of light, and he didn't think it was any different at the time, but the ball of light he saw today was obviously bigger than a few days ago.

What's going on?

What exactly is this blue ball of light?

Could it be that the disappearance of the aura has something to do with it?

Zhu Yanjin wanted to use his divine sense to get close to the ball of light, but when he got closer, he felt a strong suction, so he had to give up his plan to continue approaching.

Zhu Yanjin inhaled a wisp of aura from outside his body, and at the same time, his divine sense observed the movement of the ball of light.

Sure enough, the moment the aura entered the dantian, the ball of light was full of blue light, absorbing the wisp of aura, and the process was very fast, so fast that it was almost difficult to catch the trace.

But Zhu Yanjin still saw it, and he felt the aura pouring into the ball of light in the blink of an eye.

The spiritual power he absorbed was originally absorbed by this blue ball of light, and he finally found the reason.

However, he couldn't help this ball of light, and he didn't even dare to approach his divine sense, for fear of being devoured.

Zhuyan Jin was busy for a while, and finally returned home.

"Childe, I'm leaving. ”

Xiaozhu trotted all the way over, his face flushed.

Only then did Zhuyan Jin remember that today was the day when the wizard did the work, and Xiaozhu and the other selected children would be taken to the altar outside the village.

Zhu Yanjin was a little worried about Xiaozhu's safety, but thinking that the wizard and the villagers had been together for so many years, he should have been too worried.

"Don't be playful, be careful of being abducted. ”

"Cut, Childe joked again. ”

Xiaozhu waved his little hand to Zhu Yanjin, and went out to stand with the other children, chattering and laughing.

The village chief came, holding a bundle of rock sugar gourds in his hand, and he gave them to the children one by one, showing his love.

"Thank you, village chief, grandpa. ”

The children thanked happily and everyone laughed happily.

Only Zhang Laoweng had a sad face, he secretly pulled the village chief aside, and whispered: "My eyelids are jumping, there must be a disaster, I don't want Xiaozhu to do things, we don't want food and silver, okay?"

Since he saw the sorcerer's blood pool the day before yesterday, Zhang Laoweng was distracted, he didn't believe in the sorcerer, and he was afraid that Xiaozhu would have an accident in the ritual, so he had the idea of retreating.

The village chief was unmoved, and said comfortingly: "Brother, don't worry, with me, there will be no accident in the Fa, and I will accompany the children." ”

said this, but the village chief secretly said in his heart: By the time you find out that something happened, we would have already gone away, hum.

Zhang Laoweng didn't know the village chief's true thoughts, and when he really cared for himself, Zhang Laoweng thanked him gratefully: "I've caused you trouble." ”
