Chen initially turned into a chubby girl, Qi Niang, and sat on the board car, letting the man Ah Gui pull her.

Not long after, a village appeared in front of him, as Ah Gui pulled the cart into the village, Chen Chu saw the actual appearance of the village, the village should have been quite prosperous, there were many houses, but now after a long time of baptism, many houses have been tilted, abandoned, and even grass grows inside......

These houses don't even have doors, and if they do, they're just a large wooden board with several holes rotting, and the corners are littered with rubbish.

The ground is plain dirt.

The wheels of the cart wrapped in a layer of dry skin ran over, leaving two long rut marks, and there were no adults in the village, only a few very old men and women sitting in a daze at the door, and a few bare-chested and thin children chasing back and forth in the distance.

Ah Gui's appearance was nothing at first, but when an old man saw Chen Chuchu sitting on the cart, he immediately became frightened and shouted: "Ah Gui, damn Ah Gui, why did you pull Qi Niang back again!" What about the others, didn't they go up to Huangfeng Mountain together to carry sacrifices? ”

Ah Gui wanted to answer, but he was afraid of angering the fake Qi Niang behind him, so he simply didn't say a word.

Chen Chuchu jumped down from the cart, took advantage of Qi Niang's appearance to put some information, and said: "Shanjun was killed by a person, and I came back again if I couldn't make a sacrifice......

The old man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and beckoned: "Qi Niang, come over and let me take a look." ”

Chen Qiqi walked up to the old man and said obediently, "I'll come." ”

The old man stretched out his withered hand and gently stroked Chen Chu's head, and his right hand was touching something in his pocket, and suddenly pierced his neck, and his face became hideous, and said: "No matter who you are, you will die if you destroy the sacrifice!" ”

Chen Chu's face did not change, he let the iron skewer-like thing spin around his neck, and said with a smile: "How did the old man see through me?" ”

His bones crackled, his tone returned, and his hands pressed on the old man's shoulders.

When the old man saw this strange change technique, his whole person trembled wildly, and his voice said with thick fear: "It's Dao Ye, Dao Ye is above, Xiao Lao'er is willing to die if he offends, he just wants to let go of the other people in the village, they have nothing to do with this matter." ”

Chen Chuchu's eyes flashed with a faint light, and he swept these people over, and when his eyes swept over the child, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face slowly converged: "You haven't said how to recognize me." ”

The old man hurriedly said, "Because Qi Niang has a problem with her mind, she will never listen to me so obediently." ”

Chen Chuchu: "That's it? ”

The old man said, "Yes." ”

Chen Qiqi sat down beside the old man and said lightly: "Let me ask a few questions, you need to answer me honestly." ”

The old man nodded again and again: "Please ask Dao Ye, I must say what I know!" ”

Chen Chuchu snorted and said: "I am a wanderer from other places, I strayed into Huangfeng Mountain and was attacked by a tiger, and I had no choice but to kill it.

I will use a little qi technique, you people in Huangfeng Village, whether it is the man who transported the sacrifices just now, or you old men and children in the village, it seems that everyone has a bloody aura wrapped around their bodies, which is the so-called murder! I wondered, why do children kill people too? And you seem to be terrified of people who know how to spell, why is that? ”

The old man listened to Chen's initial question.

His brain was buzzing, as if he had met a very strange person, and after carefully looking up and down, he said: "It seems that Dao Ye is really an outsider, and he came from a far, far away place, no wonder he doesn't know what happened to us here." I'll slowly answer Dao Ye's questions one by one, let's talk about Shanjun first.

In our place, if ordinary people want to survive, in addition to hunting and farming, they also need someone to shelter! Wealthy villages and even county towns will rely on those Taoist masters for protection, as long as they make offerings regularly, they can live more comfortably. And in a small village like ours living in the barren mountains and mountains, no Taoist master will come to protect us, in order to prevent other villages from coming to plunder, we can only worship mountain spirits and wild monsters as the shelter of the village......

Those who live near rivers seek shelter from the water monsters, and those who live next to the mountains seek shelter from the mountain spirits.

Our Huangfeng Village is near Huangfeng Mountain, naturally looking for the shelter of the mountain lord who has been entrenched on the mountain for many years, the conditions are not too harsh, just need to cultivate a boy and a girl as a sacrifice, half a year as an interval, send the boy up the mountain, and then send the girl up the mountain after half a year, so that you can get the shelter of the mountain lord, and we can also hunt and plant a stable life......"

Chen Qiqi asked, "There are more people in other villages than you, and their weapons are more powerful than yours?" ”

The old man shook his head and said, "They have shelter in the mountains, like a pack of wolves......"

Chen Chu was stunned, the people of this world are really tough, asking for refuge with tigers and wolves, he asked: "You ask for refuge like this, don't you have mountain spirits and wild monsters who change their hexagrams?" For example, it is not good to dislike your sacrifices, and it is not good to take the opportunity to ask for more, or even to attack directly? ”

The old man turned a little pale and said, "Yes, the next village was eaten by wolves in the past few months, and the whole village, both adults and children, did not escape, and the corpses were scattered everywhere. ”

Chen Chu nodded and asked one last question: "You haven't told me why you are so afraid of cultivators, and why your children are also contaminated with human life. ”

The old man only felt that his lips were dry, and he stubbornly said, "Because ...... Because some Taoist masters do not accept shelter, they travel around, and some live alone in the mountains to practice the law and refine the pill, and if there is a lack of medicine, they will go down the mountain to catch it, and a village like ours is their goal. Compared with the purity of the mountain spirits and wild monsters, we are more afraid of the arrival of the Dao Master.

In order for the village to survive, we set up an ambush on the road, capture passers-by, and honestly stay and use it as medicine, so that they don't care much about what they eat, as long as they are hungry for two or three days, not to mention the leaves and grass roots, even if it is something we pull out, they have to swallow it, otherwise they will die.

Qi Niang is the girl we caught last year, she has a little problem with her brain, and she believes it when she says something, so we will fish her out of the 'medicine cage' and use it as a sacrifice to Shanjun, lock her in the house, don't bask in the sun, give food and drink, like raising pigs, and slowly become white and fat, which fully meets Shanjun's requirements...... As for why the children are stained with blood, everyone in our village has to contribute, and the children naturally have a part to do. ”

Chen Chu understood.

He raised his eyes and slowly looked at what a simple village it was, who would have thought that there were a group of devils living here.

This situation and this scene can't help but coincide with the coincidental overlap of Hejiacun in the original world of "Qimen Dunjia".
