readx;?“ My parents live here, and a little further down you can see my family's house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The little boy didn't look excited or excited when he mentioned this, but rather a hint of panic.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing the little boy like this, Pu Tiange seemed to realize something, and couldn't help asking.

"I'm ............" The little boy turned his head to look at Putian Ge, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes: "I was originally the one who was chosen to go to the Holy Mountain, but I was forcibly plundered back by you, and they will definitely not let me go, I was really miserable by you." ”

Sure enough, it was similar to Putiange's guess, the so-called saint must have a high position in the hearts of the inhabitants here, and if the orders he passed down were violated, the inhabitants of this place would inevitably punish those who disobeyed the order. Although the little boy was forced to bring it back by himself, I am afraid that he will inevitably be implicated.

As for the form of punishment, it is still unknown.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay. Pu Tiange comforted the little boy while looking around, and finally focused his eyes on a peach blossom tree with the thickness of a bowl not far ahead: "Do you see that peach blossom tree? You first hide behind the peach blossom tree, so that no one else will find out, and then I will go and investigate it alone." ”

"Well............ the little boy was only about five or six years old after all, and he didn't have any opinions: "Then when will you come back?"

"I'll be back when I've investigated and gathered enough information, don't worry, it won't be long. Putiange smiled and comforted the little boy, and then placed him behind the peach blossom tree.

Then Putiange walked towards the houses in front of him, I have to say that this place is not only picturesque, but also the air is also very fresh, giving people a new feeling.

As Putiange approached the houses, he soon saw several women doing laundry by a small stream, all with smiles on their faces, looking warm and well-dressed, but plain. They noticed Putiange's arrival, and were stunned at first, and then greeted them with curiosity.

"What kind of place is this, please? Pu Tiange decided to pretend to be a lost person, and first see the reaction of these people: "I was lost, and I was injured, and I came here unconsciously. ”

"You're not from here, but from outside?" exclaimed one of the women, and then the other women were as happy as the others, "Guests from afar, please let us entertain you." ”

Obviously, the people here are very hospitable, and it can be said that they are very simple, but they are too unvigilant and unguarded for outsiders like Pu Tiange, and they don't understand the sinister truth of people's hearts.

As the saying goes, one side of the water and soil supports one side of the people, and different living environments and folk customs and habits are also very different.

Soon the arrival of Putiange attracted the attention of the residents here, and many people came to greet him warmly, including men and women, old and young, and even asked Putiange if he needed to eat something.

To tell the truth, Pu Tiange is indeed hungry these days, wants to eat and drink, and has injuries that need medical treatment, so he did not shirk the enthusiasm of the residents.

Surrounded by the enthusiasm of the residents, Putiange was invited into a two-story house, which was very spacious and exquisite, with a red carpet on the ground and some wooden furniture.

Under the warm hospitality of the residents, Pu Tiange first washed in the wooden basin, and then changed into a few clothes, which he chose were pure white, but they were wider and not so fitting, because the clothing style of the residents here is like this.

At this time, Pu Tiange was sitting on the bed, with a wooden table next to him, all of which were provided by the residents to eat and drink, and he was seen taking the food and swallowing it, and from time to time he drank a sip of water.

Finally, Pu Tiange was full, and then some residents put some herbs on his wounds and bandaged them with strips of white cloth, in the face of all this, Pu Tiange was very grateful to these residents and thanked them again and again.

Then Putiange lay down on the bed for a while, resting for a while, during which the enthusiastic inhabitants did not disturb him.

Although the hospitality of the inhabitants of this place was very considerate, Putiange did not immediately settle down, and he did not forget the purpose of his visit, so after a short rest, he got up and left the house.

"Distinguished guest, do you have any orders?" stood a slim girl outside the house, who looked at Pu Tiange with a smile on her face, as if she was fascinated by Pu Tiange's delicate and agile appearance.

"Thank you so much for your kindness, I want to visit this place now, don't you mind?" Pu Tiange also showed a friendly smile and said to the girl.

"Hmm............ Don't mind. Seeing this, the girl couldn't help blushing, and then waved her hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Distinguished guest, please come with me." ”

Pu Tiange could see that it was obvious that this girl was specially arranged to serve him.

Then under the guidance of this girl, Pu Tiange followed closely, looking at this place unhurriedly, the houses here are next to each other, there is no end in sight, the more you go inside, the more prosperous it becomes, and the number of pedestrians gradually increases.

It seems that the population here is not small, but it is quite prosperous, and it does not look like a small tribe no matter how you look at it, especially when Pu Tiange saw some more exquisite and strange buildings, which verified his conjecture.

If you want to build these buildings, you may not be able to complete them without a certain amount of manpower and material resources.

At this time, Pu Tiange was walking on a stone-paved path, and the pedestrians around him came and went, almost all of them looked at him curiously, they all heard about Pu Tiange's arrival, and they all wanted to see it with their own eyes.

Pu Tiange ignored this, but continued to walk forward, and suddenly Putian Ge felt something, looked up in a certain direction, and behind several rows of houses, there was a statue about ten zhang high.

The statue takes on the form of a human, white as jade, and dazzling in the sun's rays, as if it contains a mysterious power that brings insight into the soul.

The statue has both hands and seals, fingers as slender as tender onions, elegant figure, long hair like a waterfall, and wears a loose silk robe embroidered with star and moon patterns.

And this statue is very neutral, with a smile on its face, which is mysterious.

seemed to notice that Pu Tiange behind her stopped, and the girl couldn't help but turn around, just as she saw Pu Tiange looking into the distance, she followed Pu Tiange's line of sight, and also saw the statue.

"Distinguished guests, this is a statue of our great saint. The girl explained to Putiange, with admiration in her words and deeds, and her eyes lit up: "For us, the saint is our guardian and the guide who cleanses us of our sins. ”

"Statue of a saint?" Putiange came back to his senses, and seemed to grasp some very crucial point: "What do you mean by washing away your sins? Are you sinners?"

"Yes, we are born with original sin, human beings with sin. The girl didn't seem to want to say anything, and quickly changed the topic: "Why don't you do this, I'll take you to the statue to have a good look?"

Pu Tiange smiled slightly, nodded and promised, it was obvious that this girl knew something, but she couldn't reveal much to him, although the folk customs here were extremely simple, but if he insisted on asking, it would still arouse the suspicion of the residents, after all, about the matter of the great saint in their eyes, of course, it was very sensitive.

So if you want to figure out this matter, you still have to take it step by step, and you can't be in a hurry.

In this way, Putiange followed the girl in the direction of the statue, and after crossing a few stone paths, the two finally came to the front of the statue. When observing this statue up close, Putiange saw the whole picture of the statue, which was more delicate and delicate than what he saw in the distance, as if it was full of vitality.

There were some people kneeling in the square in front of the statue, all facing the statue, constantly prostrating and praying something, very religious.

"Who are they, what are they doing?" Pu Tiange found that these kneeling people were basically old men, and judging from the costumes, the old man kneeling at the front was more unique than the others, and it seemed that his identity was not ordinary.

"These are all respected old-timers in the clan, and the one at the front is the patriarch. The girl replied, with a hint of awe in her voice: "Today is the day of pilgrimage, and they are on a pilgrimage." ”

Pu Tiange didn't speak, he nodded, and it could be seen that the residents of this place were basically followers of the saint, so it was not surprising that there was such a festival to worship the statue of the saint.

And it is clear that the only people who are qualified to worship the statue are the highly respected members of the population.

At this moment, those who were kneeling on the ground for pilgrimage seemed to have finished worshipping and all stood up, and the patriarch soon saw Putiange standing not far away, and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile on his face.

"I am the patriarch here, a guest from afar, and I hope you will forgive me for being delayed because of the need for pilgrimage, and I have not had time to visit the guest. The patriarch smiled kindly, leaned on crutches, and had silver hair, although he was old, his complexion was ruddy. He had already heard of Putiange's arrival, but he had never had time to meet the outside world.

But it just so happens that Putiange is here at this time, so there is no need to look for it.

"I'm ashamed of your hospitality, and it's worth it to see someone as friendly as you, even if you get lost and hurt. Pu Tiange laughed, making himself more cheerful and more relatable.

"The guests are really good at laughing. The patriarch also laughed, glanced at the girl on the side, and knew that she was the one who brought Pu Tiange to the statue, and was very relieved and satisfied: "If the guest is not to blame, then I will rest assured." ”

Just as Pu Tiange and the patriarch were chatting, a shout suddenly came from a distance.

"Patriarch!"

The shouting was a big man with a tiger's back, and he and several other big men were rushing towards this place with a little boy, looking very eager, and their eyes were full of anger.

"What's wrong?" the patriarch couldn't help but be stunned, turned to look at the few big men who rushed to the front, and soon he also noticed the little boy who was only about five or six years old, and his hands and feet were twisted: "This is .................."

The little boy had clear eyebrows and clear eyes, but he was dirty all over his body, his knees were covered with blood, and he had no shoes on, only a pair of socks.

"This kid was originally the chosen one, and he had already gone to the holy mountain yesterday, but ............," one of the big men said halfway, and suddenly turned his head to look at Putian Ge on the side with anger: "But according to this child's confession, this person forcibly plundered him from the holy mountain, and he dared to come here!"

"So what this person said that he came here because he got lost is completely lying!" The big man who spoke was very excited, which showed how serious the situation was: "This person definitely has another plan!"

Hearing this, the girl on the side suddenly turned pale, not only her, but even the patriarch had a serious face, without the smile just now.

"Guest, please give a reasonable explanation. The patriarch seemed to have changed people, and he seemed not angry but mighty.
