CHAPTER XVI

That night, the bonfire was blazing, and all the men, women and children of the hunting village came out of their homes to sing and dance around the fire. The mountain demon was slaughtered, and the days of fear for months were finally over, and all of them rejoiced.

Fresh wolf meat was roasted on the fire, and the oil and water were roasted and dripped on the flame, sizzling. A wisp of green smoke wafted by, accompanied by the aroma of barbecue, and everyone had a big appetite.

"Don't hurry up and toast to your benefactor!"

Under the orders of their parents, the children who had been arrogant before all showed embarrassed looks. But they are all straightforward people, but after a little hesitation, they all gathered around with wine, and their gossiping words faintly revealed their intimacy. It's not that they tend to be inflammatory, it's that as hunters, they are the ones who revere the strong the most.

Perhaps there are one or two arrogant people who will have some jealousy, but no longer dare to contempt and provoke. The atmosphere is very harmonious, Liu Yanchang does not want to be the person who spoils the scenery, whenever someone toasts, they all drink it all, and the boldness has won the favor of the villagers.

"Little brother!" Bai Biao left for a while just now, not knowing what to do, but now he came to Liu Yanchang's side again, but there was an extra piece of red silk wrapped in his hand.

On this bright bonfire, Bai Biao peeled off the red silk layer by layer, and said cautiously: "Little brother, look!"

I saw an old ginseng with intricate roots lying in the center of the red silk, and the thin roots were like the old man's beard, dense, I don't know how many roots. Although Liu Yanchang doesn't know how to distinguish ginseng, he also knows that the ginseng that has begun to take on human form is a priceless treasure.

Liu Yanchang said: "Brother Bai Biao, what do you mean by this?"

"It's no secret, the reason why our hunting village will be besieged by mountain demons is all because of it. As the saying goes, the husband is innocent and guilty, this old ginseng is almost four or five hundred years old, and it is estimated that it can be regarded as a mountain treasure that comes back to life. It's a pity that these treasures remain in our hands, but they invite death. In order to thank you for saving your life, today I will give you this old ginseng on behalf of the whole village!"

Liu Yanchang hurriedly waved his hand and refused, he received a favor from Orion, and then returned a friendship, which should be regarded as fair. Ginseng is good, but it shouldn't be for him.

"How can this be done? Please also ask Brother Bai Biao to take back his life! I only saved you at the right time, not for this ginseng. Besides, you can use this ginseng as a fundraiser to ask Baixian Nunnery to get rid of demons. I can only be regarded as the icing on the cake, and I can't afford this big gift. ”

"Do you know why I stayed for three months and refused to ask the people of Baixian Nunnery to help?"

Liu Yanchang shook his head, he had only heard a little from Bai Biao's wife, and he only knew that Baixian Nunnery was on the South Mountain outside Juliu Town. The owner of the nunnery is a woman who has been called a fairy in white by the people, and the fairy in white is enshrined in the hermitage, and she is a powerful immortal, but there is no deeper understanding of it.

Bai Wei said in a deep voice: "Not many people know about the existence of this old mountain ginseng, but why is it coveted by a wolf demon? I suspect that this is probably related to the White Immortal Nunnery!"

"Why do you say this? Does Baixian Nunnery know about the existence of old ginseng?"

"This old ginseng was found by me and a few other hunters in the depths of Yunpan Mountain, and because this ginseng is very valuable, it is difficult to find a suitable buyer, so it has always been kept by me. Originally, it had been peaceful and peaceful, until three months ago, a few women in the village went to Juliu Town to catch the market, and happened to meet the inauguration ceremony of Baixian Nunnery. Women naturally like to be lively, and some like to pray to God and worship Buddha, so they also entered the White Immortal Nunnery with the pilgrims. When I was worshipping the gods in the nunnery, my wife said that she seemed to be in a daze, and mentioned the old mountain ginseng, saying that the white-clothed immortal wanted to bless the safety of the whole village, so she offered the old mountain ginseng to him. Soon after this incident, the wolf demon suddenly appeared around the village and did not leave for several months!"

It can be seen that Bai Biao is a delicate person and has a very stubborn temper. Liu Yanchang listened to his analysis and did have some truth, and asked his wife: "Sister-in-law, is what Brother Bai Biao said true?"

Bai Biao's wife suddenly realized why Bai Biao had always refused her proposal to invite the masters of Baixian Nunnery, and said very self-reproachfully: "It turned out that it was because of me that the village was scared for a few months, and I blamed my broken mouth, it's really damned!"

"Sister-in-law, you are not necessarily to blame for this matter, if Brother Bai Wei's guess is true, this Baixian Nunnery is definitely not a serious sacrifice. If they used some evil magic to confuse pilgrims to obtain information, they would not be able to prevent it even if they wanted to. ”

Bai Biao also said: "Little brother is right, I know that you are a very hearted person, so I have never dared to tell you the truth." Now that the wolf demon has been removed, we will give the old ginseng to the little brother, and their Baixian Nunnery will be empty even if the bamboo basket is empty!"

Liu Yanchang said: "I'm afraid this matter will not end so simply!"

"Why?"

"First, although you gave me the old ginseng, the people of Baixian Nunnery may not know. Second, you and I will work together to kill the wolf demon, but in the end, this account will still be counted on your heads, even if there is no old ginseng, they may not stop there. ”

"How can this be good?" the faces of the hunters instantly changed from great joy to great sorrow, and a cloud of gloom was gloomy.

"Are we still going to dedicate this old mountain ginseng to Baixian Nunnery?"

"No!" Bai Biao heard someone propose this, and immediately said angrily: "First of all, I'm not sure that the mastermind behind the scenes is Baixian Nunnery. Secondly, even if it is the White Immortal Temple, we must not bow to them. The evil god is more harmful than the sky, once we bow our heads to Him today, our children and grandchildren will have to bow to Him in the future, and there will be no day to raise our heads and turn over!"

"Village Chief, are you so terrible?"

"Yes, I think you are a little too alarmist, even if the white-clothed immortal is not a god, at least he is a god, and he will always bless us if he receives our incense!"

Bai Biao's face was pale, and he said categorically: "Everything has to be discussed, but this matter has nothing to discuss!"

Liu Yanchang couldn't help but look at Bai Biao differently, many people don't understand this truth, and those who sign a contract with the devil will eventually end up in hell. The righteous gods follow the rules of heaven, while the evil gods have no scruples. A god who doesn't follow the rules is undoubtedly a disaster for ordinary mortals, who can play with your fate at will, and you don't have the slightest room for resistance.

"Brother Bai Biao, I have a plan, go to Juliu Town tomorrow and try him to see how deep the water in this White Immortal Nunnery is?"

"It's okay, but you must keep this old ginseng. The mountain treasure has a spirit, and the virtuous live there!"
