Chapter 140
The tanuki is replaced by the prince, and the fish eyes are replaced by beads
Perhaps the sacrifice chosen this time is really the daughter of the village chief, and in order for his daughter to survive, the village chief may have deceived such a woman from outside the village.
Treat her as a substitute for her own daughter.
And in order to prevent her from finding out that she was about to die, which led to some uncontrollable accidents, it made sense to get her drunk with wine in advance.
It's just that the use of people from other villages as sacrifices may have violated the agreement with the god, which led to the destruction of the village.
But this truth is guessed, but how to use this truth to trigger the 'mission'?
After thinking about it, Yu Ze suddenly said to the village chief: "I said, village chief, there seems to be something wrong with your sacrifice this time."
As soon as these words came out, the village chief turned his head directly to look at him, "Guests, don't talk nonsense, it's not good to offend the gods, how can there be problems with the sacrifices that we, who have carefully prepared for the gods?" ”
It's just that although his expression is calm, the sudden expressions of the villagers around him betrayed him.
There was really something wrong with the sacrifice, and the other villagers still knew about it.
This made Yu Ze's heart move, and he continued: "Whether there is a problem or not, you know it yourself, village chief, but I am an outsider anyway, and whether there is a problem or not is none of my business."
"Thank you for the village chief's hospitality tonight."
"Of course, in order to thank you for the meal you invited me to eat tonight, if there is anything you need my help with, I will do my best."
As soon as the words fell, Yu Ze clearly saw that the villagers were constantly glancing at the village chief, and the village chief also looked at him seriously.
Suddenly he came to him and sat down.
"Would you like to hear a story from the old man?"
This time, without Yu Ze opening his mouth, he slowly told the story.
It turns out that a long time ago, there was a village that had lived by hunting for generations, and although it was poor, it was also considered to be poor and happy.
However, one day, a Taoist came to visit, and after seeing the situation in the village, he suddenly told everyone that if they believed in a certain god, they would be blessed.
Whenever you go into the mountains to hunt, you will definitely return with a full load.
This argument naturally has no credibility for the villagers who have always only feared the mountain gods, so they directly blasted the Taoist out.
However, the Taoist was also dissatisfied with this, and left only a word of disrespect to the gods and that he would suffer the curse of heaven, and then left directly.
At first, the villagers didn't believe it.
But after that, strange things happened, no matter how experienced the hunter was, every time he entered the mountain, he returned empty-handed, and he didn't even see a single prey.
This time and twice were fine, but after a long time, the food in the village was eaten up, and the villagers were in a state of panic one by one.
People's hearts fluctuate, and they don't know where to flee, so some people think about that person.
And coincidentally, just when the village was in trouble, the man reappeared.
To say that they have offended the gods is to be punished by the gods.
In order to obtain the forgiveness of the gods, it is necessary to open the altar and offer sacrifices.
But this sacrifice is only a young virgin.
If this had been before, the villagers would definitely not agree, after all, who is willing to take their daughter to sacrifice.
But now that the village has reached a dead end, there is no way, after discussion, everyone can only make a complete sacrifice according to the instructions of the Taoist.
And after the sacrifice, the evil sect happened.
This time the hunters went into the mountains, and those prey were so stupid that they crashed directly into the tree in front of them, which is difficult if you don't want to return with a full load.
So as time went by, their small and dilapidated village became richer and richer just by hunting.
For that god, he is also more convinced.
It's just that with the guidance of the Taoist, this human sacrifice has somehow become an indispensable part of the year, and it is called the Festival of Rewarding the Gods.
But ah, every time at this time, this other person is happy, but the family that sacrifices the woman, it is called a great pain.
In order not to experience such pain, over time, there was a situation in the village where a baby girl was born and strangled to death.
After discovering this, as the head of the village, he hurriedly gathered everyone and stipulated that every time a woman gave birth to a child, there must be an outsider to guard her.
This stopped the phenomenon, but it did not cure the symptoms.
So they moved the idea of buying a girl from outside the village to sacrifice, but they were stopped by the Taoist on the grounds that he was not sincere enough.
Speaking of this, the village's voice suddenly changed, and he said something that made Yu Ze a little hairy.
"What's not sincere enough, I see, it's just that I'm worried about attracting the attention of other immortal cultivators, so as to attract the righteous people who slay the demon and defend the way, do you think I'm right? Immortal cultivator. ”
In the last title, Yu Ze thought that the other party had been separated by an unknown number of years, and he had seen through his identity.
But it's not right to think about it, these words don't refer to themselves, and the village chief, the person who is watching is not himself, but another foreign guest.
Under his gaze, the foreign guest also stood up and said, "It seems that this place is not all stupid."
"It's just that you haven't heard the saying that the smarter the person, the sooner he dies?"
"At your age, it's not good to enjoy your old age, but you have to find fault with this, is it tired of living?"
As this voice fell, the font on the forehead of the foreign guest also changed, and it became a Soul Eater Daoist.
It's just that for his words, the village chief suddenly laughed: "Haha, indeed, as you said, the old man has lived for so long, and he is really a little tired."
"But when I think of the old decay when he dies, there will still be a cultivator who is high above as a burial companion, and the old decay feels inexplicably excited in my heart."
"I always feel that this life is finally worth it."
But as soon as he finished saying this, it caused the Soul Eater Daoist to burst into laughter: "Just by you, you still want to pull me to be buried with you?" Hahaha. ”
"If this was put twenty years ago, it would still be a little bit feasible, after all, I was seriously injured at that time, and my strength was not one in ten."
"But now, after so many years of cultivation, I have already recovered to my heyday, and if I am not an immortal cultivator like me, it will be difficult to shake me at all."
"So you, a mortal ant, are really a little bit thick."
"Oh, by the way, thank you for not making sacrifices every year, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly."
