The east end of Zhaojia Village.
A quarrel was taking place under the century-old tree where meetings were usually held in the village.
The leafy old trees were shaken and rustled by the noise of the quarrel.
The content of the quarrel involved the Immortal Family, which was taboo for the villagers to mention.
Village chief Zhao Fugui told the people in the village that the Blood God Sect had sent people to collect the offerings.
The Blood God Sect is a practicing sect located in more than a dozen nearby villages. It accepts offerings from nearby villages every year, including food, vegetables, fruits, cloth, etc., and the Blood God Sect will occasionally help the villages get rid of wild beasts and bandits, etc.
Although the Blood God Sect has a divine character, the practitioners within it are not very powerful. Otherwise, they would not need the grain, vegetables and fruits of more than a dozen villages. They can eat grains or drink morning dew and swallow spiritual energy.
Originally, collecting offerings was nothing. Although Zhaojiacun was not a big village, it was still relatively wealthy and the Blood God Sect could fully afford the offerings.
But this time, the Blood God Sect didn't want food, grass, vegetables, fruits, gold, silver or cloth. What they wanted was people, ten healthy and living people.
This puts the village chief Zhao Fugui and other villagers in trouble.
They only say they want people, but they don’t say what they want them for. What if, like the old legend in the village, they want people to collect supplements or eat people to learn?
Wouldn’t it be that the ten people selected were going to die?
But what if we recruit sect disciples and become practitioners, and then they can fly around and be admired by thousands of people?
This is undoubtedly a good thing.
When everyone was unsure, a villager who usually traveled to other villages told everyone that the Wangjia Village next door was wanted by the Blood God Sect about half a year ago.
Later, none of these people returned to the village, no news was heard, and no one saw them again, as if they disappeared out of thin air.
As soon as these words came out, the villagers gathered under the big tree at the east end of the village immediately exploded.
This sounds like a life-threatening matter. Who dares to go?
Some villagers started to chirp, saying that the village leader, Zhao Fugui, knew clearly that it was not a good thing and still held a meeting with the big guys. He was probably looking for a scapegoat.
Some people also argued that when did the village chief Zhao Fugui deceive everyone? He probably didn't know anything about it, and it has not yet been determined whether the news about this matter is true or false.
What if he is really a disciple of the Blood God Sect?
Zhao Fugui, with half-white hair and beard, was sitting under a big tree, smoking a dry cigarette. He did not explain or argue, and allowed the villagers to make noise.
The smoke rose, Zhao Fugui blew out a mouthful of gray smoke and said in a deep voice:
"Every family has one child, and my family, Zhao Fugui, will have one child first.
No matter good or bad, for the safety of the village, the Blood God Sect must be given an explanation. "
Zhao Fugui actually knew in his heart that this was not a good thing.
Not only did Wangjia Village next door have a similar situation, but several nearby villages also suffered disasters. Many villagers who went to the Blood God Sect never came back.
If it was a good thing, why didn't any news come out? Why do we need to ask for manpower so frequently?
Since nearly a year ago, the Blood God Sect has been requesting living villagers to be worshiped in various villages, but today, it was the turn of Zhaojia Village, which is a little further away.
The villagers gradually silenced Zhao Fugui's arrangement, one family at a time, and the village chief's family went out first. No matter whether it was good or bad, it made sense.
But at the same time, they were even more troubled. They didn't know whether it was good or bad. How to get there? Who to send? Whose population is not a labor force?
It's okay to be a disciple and guard the mountain gate, but what if you go to die and never come back?
However, the Blood God Sect is a cultivating sect and cannot be offended, so someone must go.
Is it possible that the entire Zhaojia Village has to move away from its hometown?
I don't know the Blood God Sect's intentions and act rashly. If the Blood God Sect gets the news, thinks it's an offense, and sends some strong practitioners to cause trouble, the village will really suffer.
Sad clouds gathered under the big tree at the east end of the village, and the village chief Zhao Fugui was smoking a dry cigarette.
No matter who it is, the palms and backs of hands are his flesh.
