Chapter 17: The Cannibal Forest

Just when everyone thought that "Ling Huayin" would definitely die this time, Situ Yan's eyes were quick, and he pushed "Ling Huayin" behind him as soon as he stretched out his arm, and was raising his hand to open the enchantment to block the sword, but unexpectedly Zhang Xingwen's sword was not aimed at "Ling Huayin", only to see a bloody light in front of him, Zhang Xingwen actually pierced the sword into his chest.

Everyone was dumbfounded, seeing Zhang Xingwen slowly fall to the ground, pressing his hand on his chest to support his last breath, looking at the village chief and saying, "I am a sinner, I have killed so many lives, it is not a pity to die." Now that my whole race is gone, I can only exchange these four lives for the lives of those innocent victims, and I hope ...... I wish we could redeem what we have in the human realm in the earthly realm...... The sins committed...... Afterlife...... I will no longer be a demon ...... in the next life" The voice was intermittent and as soon as it fell, Zhang Xingwen had already swallowed his breath.

Situ Yan shook his head wordlessly, not knowing whether he was sighing for Zhang Xingwen's death or for the experience of this village.

Bai Ning hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, clenched his fists and said, "It's really cheap for him to let him die like this!" Dao Chief, the forest Zhang Xingwen said is at the back of the mountain, these monsters must have hidden Bai Sanniang there!"

At this time, a strong man roared: "Bai Sanniang has already been eaten by monsters, and you are looking for a fart! That forest evil sect is very good, you still want to let a few benefactors go into danger, you kid knows how to cause chaos!"

Bai Ning didn't give up, "You didn't see it, how did you know that you were eaten?" I think you did something wrong, don't you dare to face Bai Sanniang!"

"What do you say?"

Seeing that a few people were about to quarrel, the village chief hurriedly stopped: "Don't quarrel with you! Bai Sanniang is dead or alive, it is better to confirm." As he spoke, he walked up to Situ Yan and said, "A few benefactors, what happened to us in Lingyin Village was our own sin, and we should bear our own faults, but Bai Sanniang is innocent, can the benefactor help us again?"

"Don't worry, let's go and take a look, but you said that this forest evil sect, where is the evil sect?" asked Situ Yan.

The strong man who spoke immediately replied: "The benefactor doesn't know, the forest will eat people." I heard that none of the people who had passed through the forest had ever come out, so the villagers did not dare to approach it. ”

"Oh? Situ Yan instantly became very interested in this topic, originally thinking that the matter of this village had been resolved, but he didn't think that Lingyin Village was far more mysterious than he imagined, so he said: "Since this is the case, then we will go as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

Bai Ning stood up actively again, patted his chest and said, "You don't know the way, I'll take you there!"

Situ Yan followed behind Bai Ning without saying a word, looking thoughtful.

When I came to the entrance of the forest, which the villagers said, I saw a winding path leading straight to the depths, and when I came all the way, the road was overgrown with weeds, and it was not a road at all.

"Situ Yan, that kid is gone!" Elo suddenly shouted behind him.

Situ Yan turned around, Bai Ning had long since disappeared, as if he had disappeared out of thin air. He pondered for a moment and said, "He may be the true mountain god." ”

"Ah, what are you talking about? That kid is a mountain god?"

Situ Yan smiled, "You'll find out later." Let's go, there's no danger here. ”

O Luo followed behind Situ Yan and "Ling Huayin" in disbelief, and walked along the path to the depths, and the scenery in front of him suddenly opened up, as if entering the depths of the peach source, with birds singing and flowers, the sun shining, and an ancient mountain temple standing in front of him. Situ Yan stepped forward, and as soon as his hand was on the doorknob, he felt a faint barrier wall blocking the outside world, and he stood staring for a while, not knowing what he was looking at. It wasn't until Elo urged him to push it gently, and the door squeaked open.

Inside the door, a girl in a red wedding dress was sitting on the ground with a middle-aged woman, and they seemed to be fine except for some scars on the woman's arms. Seeing Situ Yan pushing the door in, the two hurriedly stood up with surprise on their faces.

Situ Yan asked them about what had happened, and when he learned the truth about the forest, he and Oro sent them back to the village. The matter of Lingyin Village has finally come to an end. On the same day, they rushed back to the Great Wilderness Mountain.

At this time, it was sunset in the Great Barren Mountain. The three of them gathered in Situ Yan's Yunmengtai, eating refreshments made of Yin Tao, while listening to Situ Yan talk about what he saw in the enchantment at the entrance of the mountain temple. In fact, the secret of the forest is not what the villagers say.

"According to you, did the villagers who disappeared in the forest leave the village?" asked Ling Huayin.

Situ Yan said: "That's right, that forest is the abode of the mountain god, Lingyin Village has been blessed by the mountain god for generations, and the villagers have received a lot of blessings from the mountain god. Later, for some unknown reason, the drought in the mountains continued, and people's lives became more and more sluggish, and many people thought about leaving the village, and some villagers who went into the forest to hunt stumbled upon the enchantment of the mountain temple, and found that there was a wider world outside the mountain, so they went out and never came back. The inhabitants who remained in the village thought it was a man-eating forest. ”

"The mountains are silent, but they give people land, rivers and food, and human beings are naturally grateful, but once the land where they live suffers a change, people think that the mountain gods no longer protect them. Even if it is a god, there are many things that cannot be reached. Ling Huayin said with emotion.

Situ Yan took a sip of tea and said helplessly: "This mountain god of Lingyin Village is also quite aggrieved, he sheltered the villagers, but he was misunderstood by the villagers as a man-eating monster, and he has been wronged for so many years, not only regardless of the previous suspicions, but also silently helped them." If it weren't for his suggestion, I guess we wouldn't have found the murderer behind this scene so quickly. ”

"So, is Bai Ning really the god of the mountain?" Eluo always didn't believe that the god of the mountain was a child who had not yet grown up.

Situ Yan said: "Eight or nine is not far from ten, even if it is not the mountain god himself, he has some special relationship with the mountain god. The girl who was supposed to be used for sacrifice was called by Bai Ning to go to the forest to hide, although there are still demon beasts living in the forest, but if there is the protection of the mountain god, the demon beasts will not be able to find her. And after we returned to the village, the village chief actually said that there was no such person as Bai Ning in the village, isn't it strange? How can a person who has talked to us alive and well say that if he doesn't exist, he doesn't exist?"

"Then why didn't he tell the villagers the truth about the mountain god earlier, otherwise so many people would not have died. Isn't the mountain god the one who blesses the earth? With so many people dead, he always has a little responsibility. ”

Situ Yan shook his head and said, "Miss Eluo's words are wrong, and the mountain god also has unspeakable secrets. In ancient times, there was a large-scale battle in the heavenly court, which lasted for seven days, and one day in the heavens, one year on earth, and the human world suffered seven years of disasters due to the internal strife of the gods, floods, droughts, and landslides...... As the population continues to decline, human beings have become resentful of the gods, and since then they have cut off all contact with the gods and gods, and have made a rule with the gods that the two worlds will not interfere with each other. Although the relationship between the two worlds gradually eased later, there are still many ancient immortals who live in the human world who still remember the rules of the year and are unwilling to get involved in too many things in the human world. If it weren't for the point where they had to take care of it, most of the immortals would turn a blind eye. ”

Ling Huayin pondered for a while and asked, "There is still such a relationship between the two worlds of man and god, Situ Yan, these are all things that are a long time ago, how do you know?"

"Oh!" Situ Yan smiled: "Naturally, I remembered it, maybe I had heard someone say it." ”

Ling Huayin glanced at him thoughtfully, and then she noticed that E Luo was also staring at Situ Yan meaningfully, and said to them with a smile: "I always feel that Situ Yan, you are very similar to someone I have heard of. ”

Ling Huayin was slightly surprised, "Like whom?"

Situ Yan smiled at Eluo, waiting for Eluo's answer, but Yun was light and didn't seem to care much about the answer to this question.

Eluo said with a smile: "It's a long time ago, I also heard it from the clan, and I don't know the name, besides, there are so many similar people in the world, I just talk about it casually, don't take it seriously." Hey Situ Yan, tell us about you, I've known you for so long, and I've never heard you talk about yourself. ”

Situ Yan shook his head with a smile and said apologetically: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Miss Eluo, I have forgotten many things, and there is really nothing to say." If Miss Oro wants to hear some anecdotes about Qinghuitai, I can say something. ”

"Forget it, what's so good about that, why don't you listen to the gossip of our nightmare!let me tell you, do you know how the nightmare took on human form when he became an adult?"

Ling Huayin was not very interested, she was only focused on Situ Yan's mysterious origins.

On the contrary, Situ Yan looked curious, "Uh, I can't guess this, isn't it true that he only transformed after hard cultivation like other demons?"

"Hee-hee, it's the same thing, but it's still different, the demon transformation still needs to go through a process, that is, to possess an adult body, and then do a happy thing with the opposite sex. When E Luo said this, she deliberately moved to Ling Huayin's side, and teased: "Ling Huayin, you were also a human in the past, do you know?"

Ling Huayin's face was flushed, and she stood up, embarrassed and annoyed, "If you talk nonsense again, don't blame me for putting you in the gourd!"

Ero laughed so hard that she grabbed the corners of Ling Huayin's clothes with her long nails, and said, "Don't be angry! I didn't say anything, and you know what kind of happy thing I mean by happy things." After that, he turned to Situ Yan, who didn't know why, "Situ Yan, do you know what I'm talking about?"

Situ Yan's face was full of curiosity, and he said humbly: "I am not talented in the next place, but I ask Miss Eluo for guidance." ”

"Situ Yan. Ling Huayin glared at Situ Yan, who didn't know anything written all over his face, and warned in a low voice.

Elo smiled even more happily, "What I said is that a man and a woman are alone in a room, and dry firewood is in the fire...... Hee-hee......"

Situ Yan still didn't react much after hearing this, and after pondering for a while, he nodded clearly and said seriously: "I probably understand." It turns out that this is what Miss Oro said about the happy thing, and she was taught. It seems that there are many things I don't know, and I will definitely experience it another day, and maybe I can understand the true meaning. ”

"Beast!" only to hear Ling Huayin curse secretly, and then blushed and walked away.

Situ Yan looked innocent and surprised, "What's wrong with her?"

"Hah...... Maybe I'm shy. Elo sneered.

"Shy? Is that also shy...... All right. Situ Yan seemed to understand, and then shrugged his shoulders with an aggrieved expression, "But why does Linghua want to scold me?"

E Luo looked at Situ Yan like a fool, and said in disbelief: "Do you really not understand or pretend not to understand......
