Chapter 186: Mountain God?
"Don't argue, tell me what is going on, I'm from the Shadow Army, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, and if there are any problems, we'll solve them." I stood in the middle and said with a smile.
"Shadow...... Army?"
Everyone showed puzzled expressions, the people of Liujia Village must not know, although those young people have extensive information, but the Shadow Army is a mage organization, and they usually don't show up, so they naturally don't know, so they can't understand this term.
But it doesn't matter, they don't understand this, but they can understand the latter!
Lieutenant Colonel!
Rank, amazing!
As soon as he heard these two words, the three young people's waists straightened, what does this identity mean, what does it mean for those people with loaded guns, the wind stopped and the rain stopped, and he felt that he could do it again!
"Sir, I reported the case. As soon as the captain saw that there was a big man here, he immediately put on a flattering look, walked up to me with a smile and said, while his girlfriend was also smiling, in fact, he scolded the street like a shrew a minute ago.
The little fat man didn't come over, he was interested in those guns, and he admired them with a face, but he didn't know my stubble at all.
But forget it, as long as someone can explain to me what's going on.
"Tell me, what's going on, pay attention, the more meticulous the better! The more meticulous, the less meticulous! Don't worry, think about it!"
"Yes, I'll say both!"
The captain took a few minutes to tell him about the plot just now, and he wanted to say what his surname was, where he came from, why he came, and how those people met, but I didn't let me say it, because it didn't matter, it would be too watery to say it all.
About the appearance of the monster, it's just that he paused the longest, because it's about life, he ran very hard, so he doesn't remember what it looks like, the most profound is a white hair, and the rest of the blue-faced fangs are all carefully thought about before you can say, but the result is always good, this is the monster we are looking for!
"Well, very good, thank you, I will be responsible for bringing out your friend's corpse, of course, provided that they are not taken to an unknown place by those monsters, and, villagers, I don't blame you for this, I will deal with it fairly, don't worry. โ
After I said this, these people were a little relieved, and what they were afraid of was that I would be like those people, and put the black cauldron on their heads, but when I said this, it was obvious that it was not.
Of course, there are still some people who are not at ease, thinking that I am just coaxing them, and I guess they will not really believe me until I really leave and do not hurt them. There is no way, people who do not communicate with outsiders will always be wary of outsiders, and this is true for one person and the same for a village. Those introverts don't like to communicate with others, and over time, when they meet outsiders, even if that person is good to them, they will still be wary.
"Let's go home first, it's not too early, go back and have a good rest, I'll be responsible for this matter to the end, and you," I said to the young men. "Stay in peace until I bring your companions back, and I will have them protect you from the village. โ
"Okay, thank you, sir. "The captain immediately gave me a ninety-degree bow.
"Hey, no, no, that's it, go back, you're tired, right. โ
"Ah, yes. The captain smiled and nodded, exhaling a white breath. In fact, the physical exertion, because of his developed motor nerves, has slowed down at this time, and the most tired is the heart.
And when the crowd was about to disperse, one of them, an old man, with his crutches and bending over, came over and asked, "What do you mean, do you want to go to the woods?"
"Oh, old man, go to the dangerous place, explore the scene of the accident, that's what we should do, rest assured, we won't have an accident. โ
"Wellโno!" the old man shook his head like a rattle, and made a long sound, with a serious face: "That's not a monster, it's a mountain god! It's a mountain god who lives in the mountains, and if he disturbs him, he will punish the world!"
"Mountain God?" I frowned, a little puzzled, and on the other side, a young man walked over and said with a smile: "Third grandfather, you are talking nonsense again. โ
As he spoke, the man had already arrived at the old man's side, hugged him, and wanted to carry him back.
"Don't care, this is my third grandfather, one of the four ninety old men in the village, they like to say something without a shadow, not to say that there is a mountain god on this mountain, but no one has seen it, don't go to your heart." โ
"Who said that?!" The old man was not happy when he heard this, and shouted: "There really is a mountain god, I have seen it! He lives in the mountains, and whoever goes in will die! If I hadn't run fast back then, I would have died a long time ago, hey, you still don't believe it!"
"Okay, okay, third grandfather, you can still run fast on your legs, don't say it, go home quickly." โ
"Hmph, this is handed down by the older generation, I saw it with my own eyes, really, it's true!"
As the two men spoke, they walked away, and on the other side, three young men said goodbye to us and went to rest in their temporary shelters, leaving me and the Shadow Army alone.
"What do you ......think, sir," Baron asked in a whisper, as he walked up to me.
"I care a lot about what this third grandfather says. I said. "This cargo is a recent thing, but he said that it was from the older generation, which is not normal, and he insisted that he had experienced it himself, right...... Something happened here before. โ
"Uh...... Not necessarily, because of their age, many old people have confused memories, and they will take things that have not happened, but just imagined by themselves, as true, which will also happen to children, and it is not believable. Baron said.
"Well, it's possible, but I'd rather believe it than believe it, people still say that there are no ghosts in the world, and as a result, aren't you standing here? โ
"Uh...... Well, it makes sense. โ
"Go and find out where the third grandfather and the man live, and who the other three ninety-year-olds are, and we'll need to visit them in a moment. โ
"Yes!"
......
At half past seven o'clock in the evening, the people who have finished eating at this time should also be the end of today's dinner, and it is not the time to be sleepy, it is best to understand the situation at this time......
"Oh, so to speak, this mountain god has existed a long time ago. โ
After listening to the third grandfather's story, I nodded thoughtfully.
"Ah, yes, according to the older generation, this mountain god, that was a long, long time ago, that was called...... Call it when it's coming. โ
"What do you want to say - antiquity, antiquity, prehistory?"
"That's right! That's what, in ancient times, hey, people are old, and their brains are not good, and it is said that it has existed since then, and it has been passed down from generation to generation in this mountain, but the mountain god has always existed, but he just doesn't show his face. โ
The third grandfather said as if telling the truth, and the man on the side sat on the pony, drank water with a tea jar, and said with a smile: "Oh, the third grandfather, the mountain god or something, it's all an old legend, what era is it now? If you want to believe in science, how can there be any mountain god? Besides, this mountain and this forest have been developed smaller and smaller over the years, and there is really a mountain god, so can you not be annoyed?"
"Go! What do you know?!" the third grandfather heard him question himself, and immediately reprimanded, but the man didn't take it seriously, and continued to laugh, gently blowing the heat of the water.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry, old man, hey, this old brother, look at your words, aren't you a person who has been staying in the village, has this been developed outside?"
"Oh, yes, I usually go out a lot, do business, do a little business, and see some of the world, but it's not a year, I just came back to stay at home. The man replied.
"Oh-" I nodded, thinking in my heart, if this is a normal situation, what he said is indeed right, but the problem is that this world is indeed a world of mana, and the mountain god or something, I really can't be sure that there is none. Behind me, two ghosts and demons, a system in the body, and an unreliable national teacher in the other world, I saw a dragon in Maoshan last time......
Now there is a mountain god, and it is not very strange.
"Old man, you go on, what does the mountain god look like in the words handed down by the older generation?"
"What it looks like, I remember this too clearly, dozens of feet tall, enough to climb to the sky, covered with blue hair, face like a ghost, once angry, it will cause a flood!
"This image ...... It's strange, hey, do you know anything else?"
"Ah, I know, there is still ......" The old man just wanted to say something, but he wanted to say something, as if he was worried about something, he lowered his head and whispered: "I can't say it, I can't say it, otherwise I will be punished by the mountain god, I can't say it, I can't say it." โ
The third grandfather muttered, like a repeater, as if he was afraid of something, but I found that his eyes, although they were fluctuating like panic, seemed to drift in the direction of the man more frequently......
I thought about it for a moment and said to the man, "Ah, I'm sorry, can you go out first, I want to talk to this old man alone, okay?"
"Oh, oh, oh, okay, I'll avoid it, you're the chief, you say it, I'll go. "The man often went out, and obviously had more awe for us people, and as soon as he heard me speak, he immediately nodded in agreement, and went out with the teapot.
I watched the man go out, closed the door, and listened to the footsteps as I walked away, then I looked at the old man again, and said, "Old man, you don't want to say it, I'm afraid it's because of what you've experienced." โ
"What?!" The old man was startled when he heard this, and suddenly raised his head, looked at me with burning eyes, shook his head slightly, and asked in a trembling voice, "You, how do you know." โ
As soon as I saw this, I knew that I should have guessed correctly, but at this time, of course, I can't tell him that I guessed, how low-end, at this time, I have to stop him!
"Old man, I won't hide it from you, you should have heard of a profession called a psychic officer. โ
"Psychic officer?" the old man looked at me and repeated the term in confusion.
I haven't heard of it, I haven't heard of it! This is what I made up on the spot, and it's strange that he can hear it.
But unexpectedly, at this time, the old man said again: "I know, I know the spirit officer, could it be the legendary archmage who can communicate with the gods!"
...... I'm Nima, is this really there?
But when I thought about it, I realized that the old man was old after all, and his brain was not good, and like a child, such a person was easily hypnotized. This is manifested in the fact that they insist that what they have in mind is right, and this is likely to be different from the truth.
It's like, when I revisited the TV series when I was a child, I found that many of them didn't match what I remembered.
What I said just now is serious, and he has already said one thing in his heart right before this, so he will subconsciously believe me, then, what I said is true, it becomes a known condition, and the answer that comes out under this condition, he will naturally think that it is true. But...... This known condition is false.
However, when he firmly believes that the psychic officer does exist, his memory will be confused, and it will be misremembered as something he had heard before, even though it was a new thing.
"Ah...... "What else can I do?"
"You...... You are, you are ......"
"Shhhh โ
"Oh, oh, you know, don't worry, I promise not to. โ
"Okay, old man, as a psychic officer, I need to communicate with various gods, but now many gods are asleep, I am looking for them, if you really know the whereabouts of the mountain god, please tell me, rest assured, I know, the mountain god will not blame you, maybe, it will reward you." โ
Temptation, this one works best!
Sure enough, as soon as I said this, the old man's heart became a lot calmer, and his expression became calmer, and he nodded.
"Okay, now, let's talk openly and honestly, and when I find the mountain god, I won't forget to give you benefits. โ
"Okay, good, Lord Lingguan, I must know everything!"
