Chapter 65: The Legend of the Guardian Spirit
As night fell, as the sun set, the last rays of sunlight disappeared, and the heavens and the earth were suddenly silent, without any sound.
I saw darkness slowly flooding from the west, swallowing mountains, rivers, roads, and trees along the way, and then came to Zhangjia Village, submerging Zhangjia Village.
It was late at night, pitch black, and the entire Hutouling fell silent.
Only the lights of Zhangjia Village are gently swaying in the deep mountains, as if they will be extinguished at any time.
For the sake of convenience, the old village chief simply asked the villagers to set up a dozen tables at the entrance of the village, and each table was filled with a lot of delicious food to entertain everyone.
Lin Jiudao also knew that the old village chief had broken the bill, so he stuffed a few hundred taels of silver tickets into him, but he forgot that in this deep mountain, money is the most worthless thing.
"My lord, don't break the bank, since we came here to live, we haven't used any money from the outside world." The old village chief hurriedly refused.
In this deep mountain village, the villagers are self-sufficient, and money means nothing to them.
"Thank you, old village chief!" Everyone hurriedly thanked them, and the old village chief also showed a kind smile.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please forgive me for eating and drinking, and the hospitality is not good." The old village chief said with a smile.
Jiang Chen sat in the corner, eating silently, he didn't dare to let go of the big food, although there was a lot of food on the table, he couldn't help but eat.
"Old village chief, do you know Changgou Village?" After eating and drinking, Lin Jiu opened his mouth to ask.
When he heard Changgou Village, the old village chief was obviously stunned for a moment, and then returned to his original state.
"Of course the old man knows Changgou Village, Changgou Village is dozens of miles away from Zhangjia Village, I don't know what the adults are asking for this."
"The purpose of my trip is Changgou Village." After Lin Jiu heard the old village chief's reply, Lin Jiu's face finally looked a lot better, and he hurriedly continued to ask: "Then do you know that all the villagers of Changgou Village disappeared some time ago?" ”
"Missing? My lord, where did this begin? The old village chief's face changed a little, as if he was surprised.
"This Changgou Village is so close to you, something happened to their village, don't you even know" Shao Lin frowned and interjected.
Jiang Chen was also suspicious in his heart, it stands to reason that Changgou Village is not far from here, and the entire population of the village has disappeared inexplicably, hasn't this Zhangjia Village noticed it?
"My lord, you can look down on us too much, you can't hide it, we don't have contact with Changgou Village in Zhangjia Village, and there is no communication on weekdays, so naturally I don't know what happened in Changgou Village." The old village chief shook his head and sighed.
"Besides, there are fierce beasts in this deep mountain, and we don't dare to go too far from the village."
"Have you noticed anything strange lately? Or if you see some kind of magical phenomenon or something, it's a strange thing anyway, you can tell us about it. ”
"Strange things?" The old village chief muttered, and he didn't know what he was thinking at first.
"Yes, it's a strange thing, the more bizarre the better." Lin Jiu confirmed.
The other villagers looked at me, I looked at you, and they all looked at the old village chief, and the old village chief's cloudy eyes flashed with an imperceptible light.
"I remember a strange thing that happened a month ago!" The old village chief's eyes suddenly lit up.
Everyone's hearts moved when they heard this, and even Jiang Chen sat up straight and listened carefully.
"Adults may not know that a month ago, it rained heavily for three days and three nights in Hutouling"
"The dark clouds filled the sky, lightning and thunder, and the wind was howling, as if it was the end of the world, and the old man saw with his own eyes that a red light flew out from the direction of Changgou Village. Roaring towards the thunder. ”
Lin Jiu hurriedly asked, "Do you see what that red light looks like?" ”
The old village chief shook his head blankly: "I didn't see it clearly, but it just flew into the dark clouds, and the old man heard a faint roar from the air, and soon the dark clouds disappeared, and the red light never appeared again." ”
"The old people in the village all said that the red light was definitely the guardian spirit of Hutouling, driving away the storm."
"Guardian spirits?"
Shao Lin's eyes were shocked, and she had a hunch that that red light was most likely the big target they were looking for.
"Old man, can you tell us about this Hutouling guardian spirit?" Lin Jiu continued to ask.
The old village chief nodded, and Jiang Chen also pricked up his ears.
"Since our ancestors moved to Hutouling to live, they have always believed in the guardian spirit, it is said that the guardian spirit is a hundred meters long, has mysterious and unpredictable abilities, flies to the sky, and can do anything."
"All those who believe in the Guardian Spirit will be protected by it, but if anyone offends the Guardian Spirit, they will definitely die a miserable death."
Jiang Chen, who was on the side, heard this, his heart moved, and he looked at the old village chief deeply, but did not speak.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, the hundred-meter-long body, just the whole size can scare people to death, not to mention that it can fly to the sky.
Only with this 100-meter-long body can it be possible to cut out half-meter-long fangs.
Everyone couldn't help but wonder, if the guardian spirit in the old village chief's mouth was really the goal of their trip, then the monster was really something that humans could defeat?
Many patrols retreated in their hearts, although Lin Jiu and Shao Lin were very strong, they didn't think they could kill a terrifying monster that was a hundred meters long.
"Have you seen the Guardian Spirit?" Lin Jiu's face was slightly solemn, full of all kinds of doubts about this trip.
The old village chief shook his head: "The old man naturally has never seen the Guardian Spirit Lord, the Guardian Spirit Lord Shenlong has not seen the head but not the tail, our Zhangjia Village has always believed in the Guardian Spirit Lord for generations, so we can survive in this deep mountain." ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, once you enter this Tiger Head Ridge, you must also be in awe of the Guardian Spirit Lord, otherwise something terrible will definitely happen." The old village chief opened his mouth with a persuasive face.
"There was once a hunter who entered Hutou Ridge, but he didn't listen to the persuasion of the old man and insulted the guardian spirit, and the next day the villagers found his body in the jungle, and his death was extremely miserable and unrecognizable!"
Hiss!
When everyone heard this, they all had an ominous premonition in their hearts, and they came here to solve the matter of Changgou Village.
The guardian spirit of Hutouling in front of them seemed to be the target they were looking for, which made many patrols fearful.
Jiang Chen stood up at this moment and spoke: "Old village chief, according to what you say, as long as I insult the guardian spirit, it will appear and kill me, right?" ”
"In the next life, you can't do it, you can't do it, the guardian spirit can't be insulted at will, otherwise there will be a great disaster." When all the villagers heard this, they spoke one after another.
"Yes, Jiang Chen, I'd rather believe it than believe it." Many of the patrols also had a slight change in complexion.
"I feel so dizzy." As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, many patrol minds began to become dizzy.
"No, we're not disrespectful to the Guardian Spirit." At one point, four or five patrolmen fainted.
Even Lin Jiu and Shao Lin's faces also changed drastically, and they found that they couldn't lift any strength.
Thump!
Someone kept fainting, and seeing Jiang Chen also fainting, Lin Jiu realized that something was wrong at this moment.
"What have you done to us!" At this time, the old village chief had the kind appearance he had before, and his face became hideous, no different from an evil ghost.
"It's just taking you out of action."
"Don't worry, we won't do anything to you, you are a sacrifice to the Guardian Spirit!" The other villagers also bared their fangs, staring at Lin Jiu and Shao Lin, who were still struggling to support.
"You ......." Even if Lin Jiu was strong, he couldn't help but lose resistance at this time, and could only watch the villagers tie everyone up.
"Tie them up, and send them over to the Guardian Spirit tonight." The old village chief had a hideous face.
"Yes."
