"This-" After listening to Liang En's analysis, the patriarch was frightened by the terrifying possibility of the enemy raiding the village and town, but he quickly recovered and explained to Liang En.

"It's a possibility, but the location of our mountain ghost clan often has an elaborate defense, and although this defense may not be as flexible in the case of insufficient operators, it is enough to hold out until the reinforcements return."

"Yes, Your Excellency, you are right. But have you ever thought that these defenses would not hold you back even if the enemy knew about it? Liang En nodded slightly, and then said.

"Or worse, the enemy chooses to encircle a town suitable for ambush, attract the originally scattered mountain ghosts outside the few villages and towns, and then besiege it-"

"Liang Gongzi, what are you going to say?" After listening to what Liang En said seemed to be getting more and more off topic, Tian Zongqi interrupted him, "Does this have anything to do with today's events?" ”

"Yes." Liang En nodded: "Tian Zongqi, have you noticed that there have been a lot more ghosts and gods in this vicinity in the past year than in previous years?" ”

"Yes?" Tian Zongqi looked dazed, he did not have the situation that Liang En said in his impression, and even in his memory, his work in the past year was a little easier.

But the Lang Zhong named Wang Seventeen beside him frowned after saying this, and looked thoughtful.

"Wang Seventeen, if you think of something, hurry up!" After realizing that someone in his team knew something, Tian Zongqi immediately turned his face to the man in green clothes and leather armor. The young man with a small container hanging from his belt asked.

"That's right, there really hasn't been much change in the city this year, and even a little less. But there are many more things in the surrounding villages and mountains, but most of the extra things are small things that can be solved by a few farmers with pitchforks. ”

"Because these things do involve some ghosts, the injuries suffered by many people need to be solved by cultivators or some elixirs."

"When I went to the Medical God Temple to worship before, I heard those Lang Zhong talk about this kind of thing, but I didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now after Liang Gongzi reminded me, I realized that this kind of thing has indeed increased in the past year."

"Hiss-" Tian Zongqi gasped, he was only in charge of emergency affairs in or around the county seat before, so he really didn't notice any changes in this regard.

Before they came, they were just worried that this matter would be used by someone with a heart to sow discord between humans and mountain ghosts, and then induce a large-scale racial conflict, but now it seems that the actual situation is much more complicated than that.

Liang En showed an expression that was indeed so, he began to feel that something was wrong because he had heard the news of the change of the mountain god, the land and even the well god several times when he heard the storyteller was telling the story.

In the beginning, Liang En only listened to these things as stories, but when he became friends with Huang Yongnian, the god of the Wangyu River, he couldn't help but pay more attention to these kinds of stories, after all, his friend almost became the hero of the story.

He was surprised to find that all of these stories had happened in just a few months.

At first, Liang thought that this time was just a common beginning for storytellers to tell stories, just as many stories start with "a long, long time ago".

But later, after seriously questioning the storyteller and asking the merchants who came and went, Liang found that this was not a dramatic process, but a real record.

In other words, in the past year or so, nearly ten gods have been replaced within a radius of no more than 200 miles, but because these gods are all minor gods similar to village land or well gods, they have not attracted attention.

Although when it comes to the replacement and disappearance of gods, many people will directly think of a big scene similar to the twilight of the gods, but it is not an incredible story for the Huaxia of this world.

Mainly because there are too many mountain spirits and wild ghosts in the wild of this world, and those lowest-level gods are on the front line of the confrontation with demons and monsters.

There is no doubt that the organized, more resourceful side of the gods has a great advantage in facing these demons and monsters, but that doesn't mean they can win every time.

Whether it's an overly powerful enemy or a premeditated surprise attack, it can lead to the fall of some unfortunate gods. Fortunately, the divine system is more than enough to compensate for these losses.

Therefore, for the people here, the fall of the gods is not a fantasy, and there may be a few people who miss the fallen gods, but most people will quickly accept such changes.

As a result, the change of gods in this land did not come into view: the local villagers would only think that they were unlucky, and the caravans would only listen to it as a story.

At the same time, they don't travel all over the area, so they are unaware of the change in the frequency of the gods around them.

As for those who work in restaurants and storytellers, they do receive so much information, but at most they will only use these things as talking points, and they will not think deeply about the problems inside.

Only Liang En, because of a friend's similar encounter, would have taken care of this, and finally came to such a seemingly chilling conclusion.

"Tian Zongqi, is this true?"

When Liang En finished talking about his discovery, the mountain ghost patriarch looked at Tian Zongqi, who was sitting opposite him, with a surprised expression.

"I'm not sure." At this time, Tian Zongqi's face looked extremely serious, "But I think Liang Gongzi should be right, because among the gods he said, two of the gods had their edicts brought over by our people."

Speaking of this, he turned his face to look at Liang En.

"This information is so important, why didn't you say this in the yamen before?"

"You didn't ask." Liang En shook his head helplessly, and then said confidently. "How dare I say this without you asking?"

"It's-"

Tian Zongqi didn't know what to say about Liang En's answer, after all, in this era, ordinary people ask what to say when facing officials, and basically don't take the initiative to say anything.

"I think we have to go back and report this matter to the county lord as soon as possible." After a few seconds of coldness, Tian Zongqi immediately made a decision. "Let's go now."

"Is it that serious?" Wang Langzhong in the team stood up and asked a little puzzled.

"Seriously, very seriously." Tian Zongqi said as he walked towards the dock after saying goodbye to the patriarch, "The current situation is much more severe than we expected, and we must report this news to the county order as soon as possible." ”
