Chapter 24: Why

When the mountain god was defeated and retreated under Lin Xing's spell, the chief had already begun to quietly retreat and prepare to run away.

At this moment, as Lin Xing's eyes turned, the chief immediately turned around in fright and ran.

But at this moment, how could he escape from Lin Xing's palm, and in a blink of an eye, his knee was smashed by a wrench, and he fell to the ground wailing.

"Heroes spare their lives, heroes spare their lives!"

Looking at the security chief who was full of horror and kept begging for mercy, Lin Xing said slowly: "You wait first, I have something to ask you later, you can answer me honestly." ”

The chief immediately assured: "I must know everything and say everything." ”

Lin Xing didn't pay any attention to him, and walked directly to the stone platform to untie the little girl and the other two children who were bought by the security chief one by one.

At this moment, the voice of the cat doll sounded in his head: "Lin Xing, you look at the place where the mountain god died, there seems to be something. ”

Lin Xing comforted the three children, and then walked towards the place where the cat doll had said, and saw that the place where the mountain god had died had left an ugly black wood carving.

The wood carving is of a curled up old man, the old man is skinny, with slender limbs, but with a mouthful of fangs, which looks extremely evil.

"What is this?"

Lin Xing picked up the wood carving, and immediately felt a strong resentment rushing over him, and then scenes appeared in front of him.

……

It was in the middle of an old forest deep in the mountains, and an old man was sent in by his two sons.

Looking at the back of his sons leaving, the old man cried out in despair, how he hoped that his children and grandchildren, whom he had loved since childhood, could take him back.

But all that greeted him was the lonely and dark mountains and forests in front of him, and the endless hunger.

Hunger burned in his stomach like a fire, burning his limbs weakly, burning his internal organs as if twisted into a ball.

But just as his heart sank into the abyss of despair, he saw that his children and grandchildren had come to pick him up and leave, and that there was food in the village, and they had prepared a great meal for him, and he devoured it with great gusto.

When he came back to his senses, he had gnawed at the corpse of another old man to a bloody pulp.

But only hesitated for a moment, and under the stimulus of the incomparably painful hunger, he quickly swallowed it again.

At first, he just ate the corpses of other old people who had also been sent over.

The rotten, stinking, swollen corpses seemed to have turned into a supreme delicacy in his mouth.

His limbs began to grow more and more elongated, his skin gradually grew a strange layer of keratin, and his rotten teeth began to fall out and new fangs grew......

Finally, one day, the corpses of the old people have been eaten by him.

After enduring the thrill of hunger for two days, he killed the first man.

It was an old man who had not completely starved to death, and looking at the numb eyes of the other party, he felt that he was letting the other party go.

He carefully licked every bone clean, not even the blood dripping from the dirt.

He felt as if the other party was living in his heart, and he knew that it was not an illusion, because he clearly heard the other party's wail resounding in his body.

Finally, after licking all the meat he could eat, the only meat he could find was the animals of the forest.

He was very agile and stronger than the strongest man in the village, and he could easily catch animals in the woods.

But no matter how much he ate and how he hunted, he could not satisfy the growing hunger in his heart.

The animals he ate were as if they were still alive, and they kept roaring inside him.

Before long, animal limbs began to grow on his body, as if the animals he had eaten were howling and trying to break out of his flesh.

Unable to stand this pain any longer, he finally came to Jiangjia Village one night.

However, after a few hunts, he was caught by a Taoist and put him in a cage when he was only the size of an ordinary person.

But then the Taoist disappeared and never appeared again.

And a familiar villager appeared in front of him, brought him an incomparable sense of intimacy, and even brought him food.

As he continued to eat, the next picture became more and more blurry and chaotic, and the whole world seemed to gradually become a chaos in his eyes.

……

A series of images flashed in an instant, and Lin Xing recalled what he saw, a hint of thoughtfulness flashed on his face.

"This should be a memory of the mountain god?"

"Unexpectedly, this mountain god turned out to be an old man who was thrown in the mountains and forests in Jiangjia Village in the past, and he was only the size of an ordinary person at the beginning."

"But seeing the picture behind, he should have been caught by the Baiyun Dao people......"

Thinking of this, Lin Xing looked at the chief who was still lying on the ground, and asked, "According to the record on the bluestone in the northeast direction, there should have been a Baiyun Dao person who had suppressed the mountain god. ”

"Why can you still command the mountain gods to do evil?"

A trace of consternation flashed on the face of the security chief, as if he didn't expect Lin Xing to even know this.

Just as the chief continued to think about something, Lin Xing had already continued: "I have seen with my own eyes that the original Baiyun Dao people had captured the mountain god alive, and the mountain god at that time was not as large as it is today. ”

"What happened behind the scenes, you'd better be honest."

As early as when he saw Lin Xing's thunderous means of suppressing the mountain god, the chief was already fiercely shocked, and he couldn't raise the slightest heart of resistance.

Hearing Lin Xing's words at this moment, he spoke: "That happened in my grandfather's generation, when a Taoist came to the village and captured the mountain god. ”

"Next, the Taoist said that if you want to completely destroy the mountain god, you need to suppress the evil land where the mountain god was born before you can kill the mountain god."

"Otherwise, the resentment in the evil land will gather too many people, the evil land will not be destroyed, and the mountain gods will not die. Even if one is chopped, another will eventually be born, so it's better to be locked up like this. ”

So the villagers begged him to do it, and he asked for three hundred taels of silver for one mouth.

"That's three hundred taels of silver, and if the village had given him this money, I really don't know how many people would have starved to death in that year."

"Alas, all the people of the village knelt down and begged him, begging him to show mercy and lift up his noble hand."

"That man is hard-hearted, and he refuses to take a penny."

"In desperation...... The chief of the security department agreed to the other party, and finally scraped together from the village and collected three hundred taels of silver. ”

"That Taoist received the silver, and his actions were also quick, and after more than ten days of hard work, he pressed down a stone to suppress evil in the evil place where the mountain god was born, and guaranteed that there would be no more evil in this place in the future."

"Next, Ben just needs to kill the mountain god who was locked up again."

"But that night, perhaps the disgruntled Taoist took so much silver, and the villagers first drunk the Taoist, and then they didn't know who took the lead first, and cut down the Taoist when he was drunk."

"Although that Taoist has learned the Tao method of suppressing evil spirits, his body is only a mortal body after all, and even if he is chopped into meat paste under the knife......"
