Chapter 327 Statue of the Mandrill God, the girl in the village
The wild boar has rough skin and thick flesh, and the sword is difficult to hurt, but after being knocked down by Qingyuan, he almost fainted, but Rao was unable to move, and it still took a lot of effort for this group of hunters to dismantle it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The village is good at pickling vegetables, and its taste is slightly sour, so it is called sauerkraut. Potatoes are also commonly ground into pulp powder, and finally made into silk strips, called vermicelli.
Today's hospitality to Qingyuan is the most flavorful dish in the village, stewed vermicelli with pork and sauerkraut.
Qingyuan was respected by the people in the village, and with the old patriarch next to him, he sat in the village for a while and chatted for a long time, while Qingyuan had actually released the yin god and walked around the village.
The Yin God wandered away, but saw a stone statue in the village.
This stone statue looks like an ape, which is supposed to be carved from limestone, so it is gray all over, but there is a handful of hair on the top of the head, which is slightly carved out of the outline, which is different from other hairs.
And this stone statue of the ape, one foot high, with both ears hanging down the shoulders, arms above the knees, and a hideous expression.
Mandrill!
As Qing Yuan had seen before, all the people in this village had tattoos on their bodies, and their shapes resembled people. But on closer inspection, the tattooed ears and shoulders and arms over the knees are also different from people, in fact, they are the appearance of mandrills, but because the tattoos are not very clear, it is easy to mistake them for people.
"Mandrill?" Kiyohara groaned in his heart.
The statue of the mandrill god enshrined in this village will naturally not be Gu Cang.
The first mandrill between heaven and earth is born and raised, similar to the natural gods such as the Great Mountain Demon. Later, he cultivated into a demon immortal, but because of his evil, he was killed by the heavenly Luyang Immortal Venerable, and after his death, the essence was dispersed into all sides of heaven and earth.
From then on, all apes were born, and occasionally there were gifted people, so it was the mandrill.
The bloodline of the mandrill originates from the demon fairy, so it has a heritage and can be practiced. However, the method of mandrill cultivation is quite evil, and there are few good kinds.
Gu Cang was subjugated by Qingyuan and cultivated the Taoist method, which can be regarded as different, and he has good thoughts.
Qingyuan retracted his gaze and took an excuse to take a trip to the village.
The old patriarch agreed, accompanied by several big men, and led Qingyuan to walk in the village.
And when he walked to the position of the mandrill statue, Qingyuan's eyes fell on it, showing a little surprise just right, and asked, "I don't know what this is?"
"This is the mountain god enshrined in my village. ”
The old patriarch showed respect and said, "The people in my village were originally a small tribe in the north, and they had moved here before the establishment of the Yuanmeng Kingdom. According to the ancestral records, the village was able to settle here because of the protection of the mountain gods, so that they could hunt in the mountains and fish in the river. ”
Speaking of this, he sighed and said, "It is said that at the time of the old decay father, the mountain god was still there, but when he arrived here, he had never seen it. ”
Qingyuan was slightly surprised, and said, "Are there any other people in the village who have seen the mountain god in person?"
The old patriarch shook his head and said, "The old man is already the oldest person in the village, and the mountain god has never reappeared long before the old man was born. ”
Hearing this, Kiyohara nodded slightly.
However, at this time, a cold snort came from the side, and said: "What mountain god? According to me, it is just a monkey, that is, the ancestor is ignorant, so he is offering such a monkey......
Qingyuan listened to the voice was still quite immature, and when he turned his head, he saw a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, looking at him.
"Liu Bojing, don't talk nonsense. ”
"What nonsense?"
The child showed disdain, looked at the stone statue, and said: "It's just a normal offering, two girls sacrifice their lives every year, this kind of evil nature, what kind of bullshit mountain god is this? I don't think it's even an evil god, at most it's a wild monkey who can listen to people, if you really want to count it, it's a monster...... They say it's a mountain god, but who in the village has seen it? I think this monkey might have died a long time ago......"
"Shut up!"
When everyone saw this, they were quite shocked.
The old patriarch's beard trembled, and he said angrily: "Go back to the old man, your uncle was injured by the beasts in the mountains, you go and take care of him." ”
Qingyuan didn't speak, but after listening to those words, he looked at the child.
The child was not afraid of the living person, but looked at the alien living person a few times before turning around and walking towards that side.
There was also a group of teenage children over there, and when they saw this child named Liu Bojing passing over, they obviously looked like they were headed by him.
Liu Bojing explained a few words to them, as if he was talking about pork sauerkraut stewed vermicelli, and he would bring some to him later, about three bowls, one bowl for himself, one bowl for Muzi, and one bowl for Li Zhi.
Qing Yuan didn't hear it clearly, he just listened to the words of the kid who was disrespectful to the mountain god, which was actually quite reasonable.
Although the mandrill is the blood of the demon fairy, it is really a goblin alien, among which there are many successful mandrills, who occupy the mountain as the king, or entrench themselves on one side, call themselves the mountain gods, and force the people to pay tribute, which often requires virgin women, because this is related to the practice of the mandrill.
Similar to the record of the mandrill calling himself the mountain god, it is not rare.
Unexpectedly, there is such a mandrill here?
"Don't blame Childe. The old patriarch said in a low voice: "This child is naturally intelligent, and in order to avoid being buried, the old man sent him to read some books elsewhere, and he has always been doted on by the people in the village, and he can be regarded as spoiled." And last year's offering to the mountain god, there was one of his sisters, which made him dissatisfied, and often had some disrespectful behavior, but fortunately, the mountain god was magnanimous, so he did not turn his anger and condemn him. ”
His words were flat, and he did not feel the slightest difference about the sacrifice, nor did he think that he should avoid suspicion.
Because there are a lot of things like this, especially in the northern tribes, it is not uncommon.
And Qingyuan is in Kanling Town, Nanliang, in order to sacrifice the green ox, in comparison, the number of boys and girls sacrificed in Kanling Town is even more shocking than this mandrill.
However, no matter how much he has seen, Qingyuan still can't take it for granted.
He sighed, and did not dwell on this aspect, but asked a few questions about the past deeds of this mandrill, and the changes in the village in the past few decades, after the absence of the mountain god.
He vaguely felt that Gu Cang's departure might also have something to do with it.
"I was about to go north to find Gu Cang, and I came across a village dedicated to mandrills, which was a coincidence. ”
Qingyuan thought like this, and was about to continue to ask something, when he suddenly looked a little surprised and turned his head to look.
There's a teenage girl there.
And this girl, Kiyohara also knows.
The remnants of the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, a girl named Muzi.
And this girl, who was also looking at Qingyuan, was stunned for a long time, and lost her mind for a while.
"Mu Zi ......" Liu Bojing said: "This person is good-looking, but you shouldn't be so out of shape......, right?"
Halfway through his words, Muzi had already come to his senses, stared at him fiercely, and then looked at Qingyuan again, and after a while, he withdrew his gaze and turned back to the house, as if he had never known each other.
Qingyuan frowned slightly, and said in his heart: "Why does this descendant of the Tang Dynasty royal family appear here?"
With that in mind, he bypassed the Yin God and swept it around the room over there.
There is also a child in the room, and Kiyohara also recognizes it.
But the middle-aged man surnamed Luo is gone. (To be continued.) )
