Chapter VII: Deliberation

The next day, Li Ze got up and finished eating, and walked towards the ancestral hall. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info Since he knew that the ghosts surrounded the village, he was particularly concerned, for fear that things would change, but because he didn't know, he harmed the lives of the people in the village.

Lighting three pillars of incense and bowing sincerely, Li Ze entered a lobby in a trance. On it sat a deity dressed in official robes. On each side stood a group of ghost soldiers, wearing leather armor and carrying a long knife at their waists, standing there with their heads held high, looking extremely powerful.

He was greatly surprised, and was about to bow down, but he saw a row of ghost soldiers on the left with familiar faces, which were none other than the ancestral spirits of the village, and several guardian ghosts under him.

I couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Ancestor, what's going on, you didn't sleep in the ancestral hall, how did you come here and become an officer and soldier." ”

Li Daniu said in his heart, this is not a good thing you have done, attracting the mountain god. Let him suppress me with his backhand and become a ghost soldier. Of course, you can't say that on the face.

"Be bold, and don't bow down to the god of the land. ”

Li Ze was so surprised that he was about to speak, when he heard the gods above speak. "Li Daniu, you go down and tell him about yesterday's situation. ”

Li Daniu agreed and took Li Ze out of the shrine. Li Ze was even more shocked when he saw the outside. It's not that he hasn't been to this jurisdiction before, but now when he sees it, it has changed greatly. Not to mention that the area is much larger, there used to be only a few tombs, but now there are several majestic shrines located in it.

On the bare ground before, a patch of green grass grew and lush, bringing a bit of vitality to the empty legal domain.

Li Daniu pulled him aside and told him what happened last night.

When they heard that the land god was the mountain god they had invited, the first thing they did when they came here was to usurp the position of the land god in Lijia Village. Then he pressed down Li Daniu with his backhand and subdued them as ghost soldiers.

I was angry in my heart, you mountain god, I see that it is not easy for you to survive in the wild, so I specially invited you back to the village to worship. That's how you repay me. The first thing you do when you get back to the village is to destroy your tablet. When the time comes, you will have nowhere to live, even if you have the ability to play a few points. It's not that I'll be kicked out by my ancestors.

When he heard about it, Shen Jian knitted leather armor in public and gave him a waist knife to treat the seriously injured ancestor and make them recover. and led the ancestor to defeat hundreds of wild ghosts, subdue the two fierce ghosts, and solve the disaster of the besieged village.

I was shocked in my heart, this land god is so powerful. The old ancestor was seriously injured a year ago and could only fall into a deep sleep, if he could be cured, he would still need to wait for him to make a move. Whoever thought that he would come over, he would be able to heal the ancestor in a few clicks.

As for this group of wild ghosts, it is even more amazing, the four fierce ghosts have hundreds of wild ghosts, and their strength is strong. Li Ze has always been worried, thinking that it would be good to be able to defend the village, but who would have thought that in one night, Shen Jian would defeat the ghost group, and even captured two fierce ghosts.

When Li Daniu finally said the Divine Seal, Li Ze was very surprised in his heart, the Divine Seal is a symbol of the gods, which does not mean that Shen Jian will also have the opportunity to become a god and become a city god in the future.

Why is the Su family known as the first family of Shanting, for hundreds of years, no one can shake his position. It's not because the current Chenghuang is surnamed Su, and he is the ancestor of the Su family thousands of years ago.

With his secret help, it is difficult for the Su family to prosper or not. So much so that no one dares to challenge the position of the host.

Now Shen Jian has the potential to become a city god, and he is alone and has no relatives. As the first Li family village to worship him, isn't it the closest person to him.

Li Ze does not ask that Lijia Village can be like a Su family and become the first family of Shanting. But as the first Lijia Village to worship him, it is not too much to become a wealthy family in the county!

This is enough for Lijiacun to fight hard. In contrast, it is normal for Zu Ling to become a ghost soldier under him.

Li Ze made up his mind that the first thing he would do when he returned was to mobilize the villagers to sincerely believe in the land god.

After Li Daniu finished speaking, he was afraid that he would not understand the key. There, he was instructed to let him know the benefits of taking refuge in Shen Jian.

Li Ze, who had been talking about it, was impatient and made it clear that he had understood, so he took him back to the court to see Shen Jian.

"Li Ze, a believer in Lijia Village, has seen the land god. ”

When he returned to the shrine, the first thing he did was to formally meet Shen Jian.

Knowing Shen Jian's potential, although Li Ze said that it was only the second time he saw him, he also bowed sincerely. There was not a trace of unconvincing in my heart. It seems that Shen Jian was born to be the land god of Lijia Village, and several ancestors in the family should be the ghost soldiers under him by nature.

"Excuse me, I can be promoted to the position of the land god, and thank you to your village. Originally, the two ancestors of your family should have been ranked ahead of me. ......”

Li Ze directly interrupted his words and shouted below, "Don't say that to the land god, you have great powers and can bring your subordinates to do things, which is the blessing of the ancestor." ”

Seeing this, Shen Jian stopped mentioning it.

"I owe you anything anyway, and I should make up for it. I know that the mountain village is poor, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, Lijia Village is located in Nanshan, and I should make a living from hunting. But because there are many wild ghosts in the mountains, they dare not enter the mountains. In this way, when you go back, organize the hunters to hunt in the mountains, and I will follow behind to protect them. ”

Li Ze was happy in his heart, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft water was the way for the villagers to survive. It stands to reason that Lijia Village is a backer and should make a living from hunting, and there are many hunters in the village. However, in fact, Lijia Village only survives on two acres of thin land that has been painstakingly cultivated. There aren't many people who actually make a living from hunting. The advantage of being close to the mountains and forests is in vain.

The main reason is that there are many wild ghosts in the mountains, and even during the day, the villagers may be besieged by wild ghosts. As for spending the night in the mountains and forests, even the most daring hunter would not dare to think about it. Because spending the night in the mountains, it's good to be able to survive half of it.

But now the god of the land boasted that he could protect them and hunt in the forest. How could this not surprise him, it represented that the village had opened up a source of income. Nothing could be more important to a poor mountain village.

Shen Jian said a few more words, and then waved his hand to let him retreat.

Coming out of the ancestral hall, Li Ze's heart was surging, and he couldn't help himself for a long time. If it can really be as the land god said, then it is difficult for Lijia Village to be rich or not, but the danger is too great, so you can only consult with the old patriarch.

When the old patriarch heard that Shen Jian had the potential to be promoted to Chenghuang, he was also taken aback, and his reaction was similar to that of Li Ze.

In an instant, he decided to make a good offer to Shen Jian. And when he heard that Shen Jian could protect people from hunting in the mountains, he was a little silent. It's not that he doesn't see the huge benefits, it's just that the risks are also huge. Once the protection of the land god is not good, the entire hunting party may be wiped out.

After hesitating for a long time, he decided to convene the village chief to discuss.

......

The old patriarch spoke first: "Ladies and gentlemen, I know that you are very dissatisfied with my insistence on going my own way and inviting the mountain god into the ancestral hall to worship. Actually, I also have a problem that I can't say. You may not know it, but just a few days ago, a group of ghosts surrounded the village, ready to break through this place and absorb popularity. ......”

Before the words were finished, there was a lot of discussion below. How could they not know the dangers of the village surrounded by ghosts. A thief is like a grate, and a soldier is like a shaving. But even if you pass by the bandits more than a dozen times, it is only to ask for money and make the chickens and dogs in the village restless. It doesn't matter much about human life.

But ghosts are different, once they enter the village, their only purpose is to kill. The chickens and dogs of the whole village were killed. Whether it is a nursing child or an eighty-year-old man, no one will be spared.

These days, they eat well and sleep well, but they didn't expect that such a disaster would happen unconsciously.

A clan elder with a goatee immediately asked, "Why don't you tell us about such a big thing?" To the lives of hundreds of people in Lijia Village. ”

"That's it, don't you wait until I'm dead? ”

For a while, the crowd was excited, and the old patriarch almost didn't let the spitting star drown. Fortunately, Li Ze was next to him to help him out of the siege, "Don't worry, everyone, this matter has passed." It's the help of the mountain god. That's why I discussed with the patriarch and invited him into the ancestral hall to worship. ”

Only then did a few principals put their minds at ease.

The old patriarch said, "But the mountain god is also benevolent and righteous, and it is not easy for us to worship, so I have found a way for our village to make a fortune." He was originally a mountain god, and he could protect the villagers from hunting in the mountains, so that the hunters could spend the night in the mountains and would not be attacked by wild ghosts. I'm going to organize a hunting party to try. What do you think?"

When the principal heard this, he was very excited. Someone asked, "Do you want to spend the night in the mountains?" ”

"Of course, you have to go out overnight. Otherwise, what's the use of just hunting during the day, the time is wasted on the road. ”

This...... Several people hesitated. "Patriarch, can that mountain god believe it? I always felt a little unreliable. ”

That means that he can tell the reason why he can believe in the mountain god. But how could the old patriarch say. Once it is rumored that the mountain god has the possibility of being promoted to the city god, the city god will not send someone to kill this potential opponent. Now the mountain god has no ability to resist, and there is no way to resist at all. At that time, Lijia Village, which is a believer, will also suffer.

Seeing these few main things, I was a little unhappy, and I didn't even give a reason for such a big thing. What's the matter if they're still hidden? Can't you trust them?

I can't help but talk about it below.

The old patriarch's face turned red, and he slammed his cane and said, "There is a reason why this matter cannot be said. Li Ze also knows the key and will fully support it. In addition, my eldest grandson will also go on this hunt. If you don't believe in the god of the land, don't you trust me? ”

Several principals were speechless for a while, one was a respected old patriarch, and the other was the only scholar in the village. The two of them still have a very strong right to speak.

In addition, the old patriarch sent his favorite eldest grandson as a hostage. If something happens, he doesn't want to come back. It can be said that unless the old patriarch is crazy, otherwise this matter must be nine out of ten.

Several principals discussed for a long time, and finally agreed, under the old patriarch's insistence.

The old patriarch breathed a sigh of relief and discussed with a few people who would be suitable. Finally, we split up to inform.

Li Hu is also among them, and he is the leader, not that he has the most powerful hunting ability among these people, but because he is a devout disciple of the land god. The rest of the people are also basically followers of the land gods.

The principals hope that the land gods will see the face of the believers and bring the hunters back.

When he was first notified, Li Hu felt that Kante was very powerful. Who didn't know the dangers of the mountains and forests, let him go hunting in the mountains for the night, purely because he wanted his life.

It was only when the old patriarch pressed him hard that he agreed.

Who would have thought that at night, Shen Jian entered his dream. Give him some pointers before leaving. Let Li Hu feel at ease.
