The voice of the snake god was extremely cold. In the dark sky, countless dark clouds gathered to form a huge snake head. The snake head's eyes were shining with a strange green light, staring at the villagers below.
Zhao Wenxian swallowed, his face still calm, but his heart was already frightened by the coercion of the snake god.
The snake god sneered: "Okay, very good, you untouchables dare to disobey me, you will get retribution!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless dark clouds dissipated in an instant, and the sky returned to clear skies in a moment, as if everything just now did not exist at all. The snakes at the entrance of the village did not embarrass the people in the village, and retreated to the depths of Snake Mountain.
Careful people observed the snake group, and found that there were all kinds of snakes in the snake group, such as five-step snakes, cobras, bamboo-leaf green snakes, bungar snakes, white-browed vipers, etc. There were also many non-venomous snakes. Visually, there were tens of thousands of snakes in the group. There are many, and they believe that this is only a part of the snakes deep in Snake Mountain. There may be more snakes in the depths of Snake Mountain than this.
Village chief Zhao Wenxian was still kneeling on the ground, his mind went blank. When the villagers next to him helped him up, he could only hear him muttering: "The snake god wants to take revenge on us, the snake god wants to take revenge on us... ..”
The snake god does seek revenge.
In just three days, several major events occurred in the villages near Snake Mountain. First, all the grain planted this year died overnight for no reason, and poultry raised by each household also died on a large scale. These are the livelihoods of the Sheshan villagers. Something!
Not only that, three days later, there was a sudden heavy rain in Snake Mountain. This heavy rain showed no sign of abating and continued to rain all day and night. As a result, the water level of the river under Snake Mountain swelled and almost rushed out of the river bank.
All this cannot be explained, it must be the snake god's revenge on the villagers. For this reason, Zhao Wenxian has not been able to eat well and sleep restlessly these days. He has tried every means, but there is no complete solution. He can only sigh: "After all, human beings can't defeat the immortals." ah!"
Later, Zhao Wenxian could only agree to the snake god's request and hold a sacrifice for the snake god every five years. In ten years, he brought a boy and a girl to the snake god. After Zhao Wenxian agreed to the snake god's request, Snake Mountain recovered again. It was peaceful in the past, except that every ten years, two families would offer their newborn children to worship the snake god.
In the following period, the number of human traffickers in Snake Mountain increased. Most of them were when it was their turn to give birth to a child. They were unwilling to sacrifice the child, so they went to nearby towns or cities to steal children of similar age and sacrifice them to the snake god. Therefore, police officers come to Snake Mountain from time to time to arrest human traffickers.
Times have changed, and in the blink of an eye, in the 1990s, China is about to enter a new era. The urban economy continues to develop, and scientific and technological products are changing with each passing day. All the villagers in Snake Mountain who have the ability have left Snake Mountain to seek better development in the city. The remaining The Snake Mountain villagers still live a peaceful life isolated from the rest of the world. However, as the number of Snake Mountain villagers decreases day by day, the quality of the Snake God's offerings has also slowly declined.
By this century, not to mention the boys and girls, no one even goes to worship. Seven or eight of the villagers in Snake Mountain have left. The remaining ones are either the old, weak, sick and disabled, or some who are worthless and incompetent. The lazy man.
On the contrary, the Snake God has never appeared since his rage forty years ago, as if he no longer exists. However, Snake Mountain is still a beautiful place with beautiful scenery and outstanding people. As for the depths of Snake Mountain, no one has paid attention to it. After all, Snake Mountain is not a famous scenic spot.
...
"This is the legend of Snake Mountain. Although I have never been to the depths of Snake Mountain, this legend was passed down by my fathers," Zhou Qiang said.
"This... this is incredible!" Ye Xiaoyue said in shock: "What kind of god is he? How can any god eat children? If you ask me, this snake god is obviously a monster!"
"No, it is God!" Molin said with certainty.
"Hey, you don't have a fever, right?" Ye Xiaoyue frowned and touched Mo Lin's forehead.
"Oh, please listen to my explanation!" Mo Lin patted Ye Xiaoyue's hand and said, "Think about it, calling the wind and rain, scattering beans to make a forest, and enjoying the incense and offerings in the temple. What is this if not a god?"
"Monsters have no godhead at all, and it's useless to ask for temple incense. Besides, which monster has the power to make wind and rain?"
After Mo Lin mentioned this, Ye Xiaoyue suddenly felt that what Mo Lin said made some sense.
"What about eating children..." Ye Xiaoyue asked.
"Did you see the snake god eating children with your other eye?" Mo Lin looked at Zhou Qiang again and said, "People of your father's generation only relied on subjective assumptions that the snake god abducted children to eat children without actually seeing the snake god with his own eyes. Eat the kids!”
Zhou Qiang thought for a while and realized that this was indeed the case, and asked, "What does the snake god want to do by catching the child?"
"If I'm not wrong, the snake god captures the child in order to absorb the yin and yang essence from the child!" Mo Lin said.
"Yin and Yang essence? What is that?"
"Actually, you ordinary people have a misunderstanding about monsters catching children. Not all monsters eat children when they catch children. Eating children does not increase their cultivation at all." Mo Lin explained: "But on the contrary, This yin and yang essence is only possessed by children under five years old, and this yin and yang essence can indeed help monsters practice!"
"The so-called yin and yang essence refers to the purest yin and yang qi when a person is born. Males belong to yang and females belong to yin. It is precisely because of the existence of these yin and yang qi that newborn babies can see dirty things that adults cannot see. .”
Ye Xiaoyue heard this and asked, "What would happen if the child didn't have this yin and yang essence?"
Mo Lin thought for a while and said, "If you are lucky, you can live to be seven or eight years old. If you are unlucky, you may die immediately."
"I'll go, what's the difference between that and eating a child? Either way, you'll die." Ye Xiaoyue said.
"If I'm not wrong, the child's bones unearthed at Bai Hongyi's construction site are most likely the child's bones that were killed by the snake god absorbing the yin and yang essence." Mo Lin touched his chin and said: "What is the cultivation level of this snake god? What state has it reached..."
"Clang!"
Before Mo Lin finished speaking, he heard a loud noise coming from Zhou Qiang's house. Zhou Qiang rushed into the house and saw Zhou Qiang's father Zhou Zhishan vomiting blood and collapsed on the ground.
"Dad, what's wrong with you!"
Zhou Qiang quickly helped Zhou Zhishan to the bed. At this time, Mo Lin and Ye Xiaoyue also came in. Zhou Zhishan coughed twice and said weakly: "The water is boiling. I wanted to pour you a glass of water. Ahem... ....”
"Hey, the older you get, the less useful you become."
Zhou Zhishan is only a middle-aged man in his early forties, but a lot of his black hair has turned white, and his body is extremely thin, as if he is like a matchstick.
"Aqiang, if dad is gone in the future, you have to take care of yourself alone. Don't let your mother and I worry about you down there."
"No, Dad, you will be fine, you will definitely be fine." Zhou Qiang's eyes were red and filled with tears.
Mo Lin stepped forward and patted Zhou Qiang on the shoulder to express comfort. Then he looked at Zhou Zhishan and asked, "Uncle Zhou, do you know what disease you have?".br>
Zhou Zhishan glanced at Zhou Qiang with complicated eyes, shook his head and said, "I don't know what disease I have, and I don't want to know. We don't have money to go to a big hospital for examination."
Mo Lin sighed and said: "Uncle, although I am not a doctor and I don't know what disease you have, your current physical condition is really not optimistic. If you continue to let it go, you will not live for more than a year."
These words hit Zhou Qiang's heart like a thunderbolt from the blue. He turned his head and shouted frantically at Mo Lin: "No, my dad will not die!"
Shouting, shouting, Zhou Qiang's tears couldn't help but flow down. Mo Lin and Ye Xiaoyue understood Zhou Qiang's mood very well. He had lost his mother in his early years and was dependent on his father. Now he heard that his father also died soon. Can you feel good?
"Look at what you just said. You are a Yin-Yang man and not a doctor. How can you be qualified to issue death notices?" Ye Xiaoyue said to Mo Lin dissatisfied.
"Oh, where are you all thinking? I haven't even finished speaking yet!"
Mo Lin squatted down next to Zhou Qiang and said, "Qiangzi, don't get me wrong, I mean I might be able to help Uncle Zhou."
"you?"
The three people in the room looked at Molin in disbelief.
"Hey, aren't you a magic stick? Why do you still know medical skills?" Ye Xiaoyue asked.
"Who stipulates that Mr. Yin Yang cannot understand medical skills." Mo Lin rolled his eyes at Ye Xiaoyue.
In ancient China, Taoist practitioners mainly practiced the five arts of mountains, medicine, fortune-telling, fortune-telling, and divination. Among them, those who practiced mountain books would become Yin-Yang masters and Taoist priests in the future, who had the ability to exorcise ghosts and subjugate demons. Many places in Shanshu are similar to the principles expressed in medical books. All Yin and Yang masters know some methods of treating diseases and saving lives.
After hearing Mo Lin's explanation, Ye Xiaoyue and Zhou Qiang suddenly realized. Zhou Qiang hurriedly asked: "Mo Lin, please see if my dad can be saved."
Mo Lin nodded, stepped forward and held Zhou Zhishan's wrist, and then the spiritual energy in his body flowed through Zhou Zhishan's wrist and spread throughout Zhou Zhishan's body.
At this moment, Zhou Zhishan felt very comfortable and relaxed all over his body, without any discomfort at all.
After about five minutes, Mo Lin let go of Zhou Zhishan's wrist and sighed: "Uncle, you are very ill. Although I don't want to say it, I can't help it."
"Stop whining, what's wrong with you?" Ye Xiaoyue was a bit impatient, and he hated to see people showing off like this.
"Stomach cancer!"
Mo Lin pointed at Zhou Zhishan's abdomen and said, "When my spiritual energy reached uncle's abdomen just now, it was obvious that it was blocked and unable to move forward, and it could not pass through other tributaries of the body. If my diagnosis was not wrong, it should have reached an advanced stage. "
"Terminal cancer!" Ye Xiaoyue exclaimed: "Then... isn't that a sure death!"
Zhou Zhishan smiled bitterly and said: "My little brother is good at medical skills. I do have gastric cancer, and it's in the advanced stage."
