The mountains are like daisies, and the golden sun is reflected in the faint clouds of the western sky, stretching the figures of the two people and two beasts who are hurrying away. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Bai Ling sat leisurely on the shoulder of the mandrill, looked at Geng Chen, who was striding beside him, and said deliberately: "Hey! I'm really tired after a day's journey, let's camp here today." ”

“......”

Geng Chen's face was embarrassed, helpless, and envious, jealous, and hateful, and he really didn't know what to say. Glancing at the fire linmon again, he said in his heart, you bastard, let me ride it and die!

The fire linbeast didn't even look at him, turned his head and muttered to the mandrill, and he didn't know how the two guys who couldn't speak communicated, the mandrill actually nodded straight, so angry that Gengchen almost didn't scold his mother.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a cry from a distance, the voice was sad and desolate, and there was far more than one person, as if some great misfortune had happened. Gengchen looked at it and saw that there was a village on the slope of the mountain more than ten miles away, and there seemed to be many people at the entrance of the village. After listening carefully, the cry really came from that side, and immediately said, "Brother Ling... Sister Bai Ling, let's go and see what's going on. ”

How do you know that Bai Ling not only didn't follow, but also glared at him: "Stupid, didn't I tell you to call me Ling'er, why did you forget it?"

"I was wrong, Ling'er. Gengchen quickly changed his words when he heard this, "Don't talk about this, let's go and see what's going on." ”

"Be nosy, what does it have to do with you whether people cry or not!" Bai Ling seemed to be angry, and his mouth pouted in displeasure.

Geng Chen's face changed instantly when he heard this, and he muttered in a low voice: "I'm not nosy, I'm afraid we won't know each other yet." ”

Bai Ling didn't expect Gengchen to react so much with a casual remark, so he hurriedly made amends, and then quickly ran towards the place where the incident occurred. After a few breaths, Gengchen was just about to pass, Bai Ling pulled his arm and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, let's figure out the situation first." ”

So the two and the beast hid in the shadows and took a closer look.

I saw two families sitting on the ground in the middle of the village, one surrounded by a teenager and the other around a teenage girl, and the cry was made by them. Some of the people around them were angry, others sympathetic, and a few whispered to them to follow the fate of their fate.

Soon the middle-aged man who was around the boy got up and came to an old man with a gray beard, fell to his knees with a pop, hugged his legs and pleaded with sorrow: "Elder, be merciful and spare my poor child!"

"Yes, Elder, spare our children!" the girl's father on the other side immediately followed, and fell on the old man's other leg and pleaded.

"Alas, the third and eighth children, if you have anything to say, get up first and then speak. The elder also looked sad, and when he saw that he didn't want to get up any of them, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "People's hearts are flesh and blood, not only you, but who in our village wants two children to embark on the road of death!"

"yes!"

"yes!"

The people around him echoed the voice, and their faces were full of sympathy. This is the elder's words, and he said: "But Tu Mountain God, we are going to sacrifice the competition after all, since we have already made an appointment to draw lots in advance, how can we temporarily change the hexagram." Besides, even if you don't let the two children go, you will definitely have to choose from someone else's family, who would be willing?"

When the surrounding villagers heard this, they immediately fell into a deathly silence. Yes, although they sympathize with the plight of the two families, who wants to send their children to death!

The middle-aged man named Lao San saw this situation and felt sad in his heart, his face changed several times, and finally made up his mind: "Elder, our family only has Yong'er and one seedling, if something happens to him, our family will be doomed." I... I would like to replace Yong'er as a sacrifice. ”

"It's useless, the mountain god only needs a boy or girl under the age of fourteen, and you don't know it, if you go, not only will you lose your life, but you will also provoke the anger of the mountain god and bring disaster to the village!" the elder said with emotion, and his face like a dead wood was full of old tears.

"Where's that damn mountain god, I'll get rid of it for you now?" Gengchen couldn't hold back any longer, and immediately jumped out of the shadows.

Gengchen and Bai Ling were both thirteen or fourteen-year-old half-grown teenagers, and the people in the village didn't know when such a pair of golden boys and girls came, and they were all a little stunned for a while. The elder looked at the two of them, sighed and waved his hand, "Kid, there's nothing to do with you here, it's better to hurry up, it's too late to cause death." ”

Gengchen was young and vigorous, and he couldn't hear this kind of words, so he raised his hand and waved a flame to smash a two- or three-foot-high boulder at the entrance of the village, glanced at everyone, and said proudly: "How is it, can you talk about it now?"

When everyone saw that he could emit such a terrifying flame at will, and there were two huge beasts behind him, they thought that some god or immortal was passing by, and immediately knelt in front of the two of them, shouting in their mouths that the gods and immortals would save their lives.

Gengchen was treated like a plague god by the people in the tribe when he was young, and after he came out of the mountain, because of the fire lin beast by his side, few people dared to get close, how could he have seen this kind of scene, and hurriedly helped everyone up. Bai Ling smiled secretly, and then asked the elder about the ins and outs of the matter, and the elder did not hide it, and told the story in detail.

Originally, the small village was called Tushan Village, named because it was backed by Tu Mountain, although it was not rich, but it also lived and worked in peace and contentment, at least not like the plain area below the mountain that was constantly threatened by floods. It's a pity that this peace was broken a few years ago, when a stranger came to the village, claiming that he was the god of Tu Mountain, and if the villagers wanted to keep it safe, they had to sacrifice a pair of boys and girls every year, otherwise they would destroy the village and eat people.

The people in the village thought that this guy was sick in the brain, so they ignored him at all, but who knew that the man sneered twice, raised his hand and struck lightly, and in an instant, two people were beaten to death.

The situation is stronger than people, and everyone saw that they couldn't resist so they had to agree first, and after he left, he immediately discussed countermeasures with several surrounding villages, and finally decided to gather all the middle-aged men from the surrounding villages and go to the designated place to eradicate this scourge together.

It's just that the "Tu Mountain God" is like having clairvoyance and ears, and he attacked in advance without waiting for everyone to move, and directly killed most of the gathered warriors. The others were so frightened that they could no longer resist and could only worship boys and girls every year as he asked.

Tomorrow came the day of the festival, and the two families who hugged their heads and cried won lots, and the two little children were sacrifices, so they held their children and wept sadly.

"How can it be!"

Gengchen only heard that the gods blessed and avoided disasters, and if he had ever seen that he wanted to eat the living alive, he immediately had to go into the mountain to find that Tu Mountain God to settle accounts. Bai Ling hurriedly grabbed him, and asked the villagers again: "Since this place is so bad, why don't you go out and move the rescuers, and just leave?"

When everyone heard this, tears fell like rain, and the elder sighed sadly, and said with a wry smile: "Why don't we want to, but it is useless, it is just a waste of life!" and then explained the reason in detail.

It turned out that the villagers also sent people out to seek support, and invited the strong to come to get rid of the demons, but unfortunately every time the people invited came, there was no return, and gradually no one dared to come. Many people didn't want to move away, but the mountain god had a spell of channeling, and whoever was going to leave the next day, the night before it entered the village and ate the people, and hung the leftover bones in a conspicuous place at the entrance of the village to show the public.

Everyone was frightened, and there was no response to praying to the gods, and finally they all died, and they began to live in such a mess!

Gengchen couldn't bear it anymore after hearing this, patted his chest and said loudly: "Don't be afraid, everyone, since I, Gengchen, have encountered this incident, I will definitely get rid of the man-eating demon and return everyone to a peaceful world." ”

When everyone heard the hula sound, they all knelt in front of him, and under the leadership of the elders, they said in unison: "If the gods and immortals can help us get rid of this scourge, they will be our reborn parents, and we are willing to worship you for generations to come." ”

Gengchen didn't dare to let people worship no matter how big he trusted, so he quickly asked everyone to get up and said loudly: "My name is Su Gengchen, and this is my sister-in-law Bai Ling." We're not gods, and you don't have to. Tell me where the mountain god is, and I'll get rid of it for you now. ”

Bai Ling hurriedly pulled him by the side, and persuaded in a low voice: "Little brother, it's better to have more than one thing, that's the mountain god." ”

"What about the mountain god, many people on the road still think that the mandrill is the mountain god, and it has not become your mount!"

Gengchen killed Duzhi and Zhuhuai who were ready to use him as food on the road, and his confidence increased greatly after Danyuan defeated Danzhu in the martial arts, and he didn't take this mountain god in his eyes at all. When all the villagers heard this, they all looked happy, Bai Ling thought for a while and said: "Brother, since the mountain god wants a pair of boys and girls as sacrifices, how about we pretend to be sacrifices and let the villagers send them, so that it can also have the effect of paralyzing the mountain gods?"

Gengchen was worried that he wouldn't be able to take care of Bai Ling during the battle, so he hurriedly vetoed: "No, you stay in the village, I'll just go by myself." ”

"Brother, the villagers don't know where the mountain god lives, otherwise how can we find him?" Bai Ling said, "Besides, the mountain god can predict the news in advance, if you leave me here alone, you won't be afraid that he will take me away while you are away?"

Gengchen thought about it for a while, and after thinking about it, there was no good way, so he had to nod his head in agreement, and then asked the fire lin beast and the mandrill to protect it secretly. When the villagers saw it, they were overjoyed, and the elders personally took the two of them and the fire lin beast to their homes, and served them with good wine and food.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning continued to prepare according to the original festival scene, only to hear the voices of the people, the gongs and drums were noisy, and many people sang and danced, and it was not lively for a while. Soon four young students came in, put the prepared Gengchen and the two people on a huge wooden frame and carried them out, and walked towards the mountain temple on the main peak of Tu Mountain with pigs, sheep, livestock and other sacrificial objects.

The mountain is quite high, and there is no avenue, only a trail leading to the peak, and the villagers do not come to the mountain temple at the top of the mountain until evening.

Gengchen fixed his eyes and saw that the incense candles on the offering table in front of the temple had been lit, and there was a golden tablet on the front, and there were four big characters on the god of the mountain. Jimu looked around and found that the fire linbeast and the silver back had been hidden behind a big tree dozens of zhang away from the left of the temple, so he was a little relieved.

The people of the village lined up and stopped, and the elders took them to the tablet and kowtowed, and they burned incense wax paper candles and went down the mountain tremblingly, and soon only Gengchen and Bai Ling were left on the top of the mountain.

Gengchen saw that Bai Ling was also trembling and scared, and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, Ling'er, no matter what happens, you will run to the left for a while, and Xiaohong will protect you over there." ”

"Silly brother, I'm naturally not really afraid, but I have to pretend to be scared, what child do you see who knows that he is going to be eaten and is not afraid?" Bai Ling glanced at Gengchen and said in a low voice.

Gengchen thought about it, and immediately pretended to be trembling. Who knew that Bai Ling glanced at him and pouted: "It's really stupid, you look scared? ”

Where did Gengchen know what people should look like when they were scared, just when they wanted to speak, they heard a whining wind sound in the valley behind the mountain temple, knowing the mountain god, and Bai Ling looked at each other and immediately fell silent.

With a gust of wind blowing, an object came to the two of them in an instant. I saw that he was dressed in green clothes, covered with gold armor, his eyes were like pearls, and his teeth were like jagged teeth.

As the saying goes, the first strike is strong, and the second strike suffers. Gengchen wanted to prevent this guy from being bad for Bai Ling, and when the mountain god came closer, he couldn't say that raising his hand was a punch. The mountain god never thought that this little boy who was trembling with fear would dare to hit someone, and the speed was still so fast, he couldn't dodge and hit the front door.
