The young and old men in Lishan Village have lived in this area for generations. They rely on the mountains and water, but they never dare to enter that dense forest.
The reason is very simple. There are many ferocious beasts in this dense forest. Even the most powerful man in the village will have a narrow escape from death if he enters the forest.
Of course, this is not the main reason. What really makes many villagers regard the dense forest as a forbidden area is another thing, but Xingtian obviously doesn't know it at the moment.
Seeing the surprised faces of many villagers in front of him, Xing Tian didn't know what to say. He was just passing by this peaceful mountain village and had no intention of staying. However, the next actions of these villagers surprised Xing Tian.
They quickly changed from a look of surprise to a look of joy, and they welcomed Xing Tian into the village with great enthusiasm. Treated with good wine and delicious food, Xing Tian was simply treated as a distinguished guest.
Xing Tian also found this kind of enthusiasm very strange.
Yes, that is weird. Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will find it weird, so Xing Tian did not refuse the villagers' enthusiasm. He really wanted to see what their plan was.
And soon, Xing Tian laughed, not for anything else, but because he found that the meals prepared by these villagers for him were actually drugged.
There is no doubt that for Xing Tian¡¯s current level of cultivation, drugs of this level are not threatening at all. The bodies of Dzogchen warriors in the Qiankun realm are strong enough to withstand drugs of this level.
However, in order to find out what was going on, Xing Tian still pretended not to know, ate all the food prepared for him by the villagers, and even fainted in a very cooperative manner.
Sure enough, the village chief and others, who had been urging people to drink and eat vegetables just now, stopped the smiles on their faces after seeing Xing Tian fainted, and they all looked mysterious.
"Village chief, this foreigner has fallen asleep!" A villager who was accompanying the wine shook Xingtian. Seeing that the latter made no movement, he chuckled.
"Get lost. Ergouzi, don't move around. This is a major matter that affects the safety of our whole village. You have to be careful. You stay and watch me carefully." The village chief said angrily, The villager was stunned but then smiled, and then the village chief stood up. He walked out with the others, obviously going to discuss something.
Xingtian, who is still confused until now, naturally did not really fall asleep. He is very curious. Although these villagers have strong physical fitness, but for him. They are still the same as mortals. Why do they drug themselves out?
Could it be a robbery? If this is the case, then there are not many good people in this village, and using this despicable method will definitely not make any difference. However, Xing Tian could tell that the villagers in this village were not evil people, so he wanted to know what they were going to do.
When the old village chief goes out, Xing Tian will naturally find a way to eavesdrop. But his mind left his body, floating out of the house like a ghost, and followed the village chief. After arriving at a big house, Xingcai discovered that almost all the adults in the village were crowded here, sitting or stand.
I saw the village chief coming. Everyone immediately gathered around and asked questions. The old village chief coughed and said, "Stop making noises. This matter is related to the lives of our entire village. There must be no mistakes. It would be a pity for the foreigner." , but there is nothing we can do. We are also forced."
Xingtian¡¯s spiritual thoughts were floating in the air at the moment, but when he heard these words, he secretly thought, could it be forced by a foreign race? It's unlikely. If a foreign race is chasing him, how could he play such a ridiculous trick? And with the kind of strength that can destroy the entire Yundian Palace, there is really no need to play such a trick.
If it¡¯s not a foreign race, then what¡¯s going on?
At the same time, another older man came out and said: "Village chief, do you think this foreigner is the person the mountain god in the mountain said he was?"
The old village chief said expressionlessly: "I think they are inseparable. Didn't the mountain god say that as long as he meets a person walking on foot from that forest, he is the person he is looking for? As long as this person is If we take them there, then our village chief will be able to save a few children from dying every year. Hey, in the past hundred years, many children have died in that mountain. It's very pitiful!"
"Yes, what our ancestors left behind is that the mountain god wants us to bring such a person over, so that we can avoid our annual sacrifices. I think it must be this foreigner!" a woman shouted.
"Old Sun's daughter-in-law, is it your turn to have a baby this year? Hehe, good luck. If this foreigner is really the person that the mountain god wants, then your family's pillars will survive!" Old Villager The chief also smiled.
¡°That¡¯s also thanks to the village chief!¡±
"Okay, today the foreigner claimed to have come from the woods, and he was also a man. This is consistent with what Grandpa Mountain God said. Let's? Even if he is sent to the mountain overnight, as long as the mountain god accepts him, our village will no longer have to offer sacrifices. At worst, we will erect a monument for this stranger and burn more things! "The old village chief slapped his thigh for the last time and made a decision, and immediately all the villagers in the room took action.
Xingtian¡¯s spiritual thoughts listened to these conversations word for word. He immediately remained calm and his spiritual thoughts drifted away, finally returning to his body.
As for why these seemingly honest villagers plotted against him, Xing Tian also had some clues at this moment. According to what the old village chief and others just said, Lishan Village has a rule from its ancestors, which is to pay attention to people coming out of the woods.
Anyone who comes out of the forest is a sacrifice that the mountain god wants, and as long as this sacrifice is given to the mountain god, the mountain god will exempt the village from the annual sacrifice.
Let¡¯s not talk about what the mountain god is, at least from this matter, Xing Tian is a little annoyed. If what those villagers said is true and a child is sacrificed every year, then this mountain god must be an evil warrior who eats human flesh and sucks human souls.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with him, but now that he had encountered it and was involved, Xingtian wanted to see what kind of person the mountain god grandfather mentioned by the old village chief was.
This is why Xing Tian was holding a breath in his heart. He thought he could cultivate his moral character during this period, but obviously, he still had to vent when it was time to vent, and the mountain god grandpa knocked down the muzzle at this time. It was because of his bad luck.
The next thing Xing Tian had to do was to continue pretending to sleep. Soon, he was tied up with strong hemp ropes by the villagers who came over. Then he was tied to a door panel and carried up the mountain behind the village.
The mountains behind this village are also extremely vast, and it¡¯s already dark at night. It¡¯s also very scary in the deep mountains and old forests. However, the village is acting as a collective, so a large number of people don¡¯t feel scared at all.
After walking for more than an hour, many villagers stopped and reached the foot of a mountain. The mountain in front of them was exactly the strange mountain that Xingtian saw during the day.
That is to say, the mountain is bare, no plants grow, and it is a lifeless mountain.
In fact, at the foot of the mountain, the weirdness of this mountain is revealed. Within a hundred feet of the mountain, there is no grass growing on the land, only earth and stones are exposed. Even the land and stones are different from other places, with a dark color and a strange atmosphere.
Xingtian didn¡¯t expect that the villagers would bring him here. He felt that there was something wrong with the mountain during the day, but he didn¡¯t expect it to be so.
??Could it be that the Grandpa Mountain God that the villagers call lives here?
At this time, the villagers took Xingtian up a hillside, but stopped at an extremely simple stone platform.
The stone platform in front of you is more than ten feet high and is made of large stones. The stone platform is dark brown and smells of blood.
It¡¯s like the color it has become after being soaked in blood for many years.
This stone platform is obviously an altar. There are many tributes on it, incense candles are lit, and red ribbons are hung on it.
Xingtian was put on top next. The other villagers seemed to be extremely afraid of this place, but they didn't want to stay there for a moment. They hurriedly ran down and hid more than ten meters away to watch. Only the old village chief and a few elderly people remained. , kneeling under the stone platform, kowtowing and muttering something.
As for what they are talking about, even Xingtian knows what it is. In fact, after Xing Tian was brought here, he immediately made a shocking discovery.
This mountain was not formed naturally, but was moved by top masters with great supernatural powers. Of course, what really surprised Xing Tian was not these, but that there was a person pressed under this mountain.
This is indeed extremely weird. If Xing Tian had not left his body with his spiritual thoughts and used his divine eyes and apertures to look through the rocks, he would not have discovered this strange thing. However, the specific identity of the man at the foot of the mountain cannot be found out. The whole mountain has a special attitude. Xing Tian can only vaguely see the shadow, but does not know the other party's details.
At this time, the old village chief also finished his nagging, stood up and walked to Xing Tian and said: "Little brother, you must not blame us, we can't help it, we really can't help ourselves, we can't help ourselves, in the future Every year, we come to worship you, and I would like to thank you on behalf of Zhuzi and the other children!"
After saying that, he also bowed to Xing Tian, ??and then left here with the others.
For these villagers, Xing Tian did not think that they were full of evil, nor did he think of going back to retaliate against them. Firstly, he was highly cultivated and came here half of his own free will. Secondly, as these villagers said, they also??Forced.
Soon, Xing Tian was the only one left at the scene. At this time, a gust of wind blew for no reason. Xing Tian's brows jumped, but he immediately bounced off the stone platform and flew into the air.
Looking at the stone platform below, it has completely changed its appearance. It turned into a big mouth full of fangs, and then closed suddenly. If Xing Tian hadn't reacted very quickly, he would have been swallowed by the big mouth. (To be continued.
