The old village chief is already in his twilight years. Whenever he talks too much, he starts to breathe heavily, like a chimney in an old community that cannot be repaired no matter how hard it is.
Su Qingyu held the tea cup with both hands, and the warmth of the hot tea spread to her body along her fingertips, driving away some of the chill.
They were all waiting for the old village chief to continue.
"Before I became the village chief, the old Taoist priest from Qingyun Temple had already gone up the mountain. He had lived on the mountain for many years, probably because of his perennial practice. When I had grown gray-haired, he still looked like that. He looked energetic, as if he could live forever." The words of the old village chief were full of envy, "The master is a very nice person. At that time, monkeys were causing trouble in the mountains, and it was the master who found the monkey god and calmed down the dispute between the villagers and the monkeys.
Later, black trouble broke out, and the master made a magical medicine to help us treat it. The medicine was a red liquid with a strange taste. I asked the master for the method of making the medicine, but the master did not disclose it.
Later, I don’t know what happened, but the master’s temperament changed drastically. He no longer allowed villagers to enter and exit the Taoist temple at will to treat diseases. They must be led by a forest ranger before they can take patients there.
All in all, we are lucky to have some treatment for this disease. "
"That is my master." No matter whether Zhixu Sanren recognizes Bai Huo as his apprentice or not, Bai Huo will always have only him as his master in his heart.
"Eh? Does the master have any apprentices?" The old village chief's eyes showed a confused look, "I'm old, and I don't remember many things."
The time in this dungeon, as well as the cognition of the villagers in the dungeon, have all been contaminated and distorted.
In the understanding of the villagers, Zhixu Sanren has always been a loner.
"This month is already December, right?" Bai Huo changed the subject, his eyes darkened slightly. Although his face had a light expression, you could feel that he was not in a happy mood, "You prepare the sacrifices for this month. Yet?"
The old village chief smiled and stroked the beard on his chin and said: "We are ready. The Monkey God must not be offended."
White Fire speaks no more.
The old village chief was still talking to himself.
He was lamenting how great the sacrificed girls were, using his body to protect the village where he was born for a year of peace.
Any girl chosen for sacrifice will have her family treated well by the villagers.
The girl's family also regarded this as a supreme honor.
From Su Qingyu's point of view, all this is unreasonable.
Sacrifice brings only death.
There is no redemption.
After talking for a while, they left the village committee.
When they walked out of the lounge, all the front desk staff stood up straight. They faced the direction of the door and stared at them, as if watching them leave.
The old village chief came out to see him off.
When he said goodbye, he said gloomily: "People are doing it, God is watching, you two, be careful on the road."
Bai Huo just glanced at the old village chief.
He felt that when the old village chief said this, he didn't consider what he had done at all.
On the way back to the village.
Su Qingyu asked: "Do you want to stop the sacrifice?"
"Yeah." Bai Huo responded lightly.
Su Qingyu secretly observed the expression on Bai Huo's face, and she knew that Bai Huo would never stand such anti-human things as human sacrifice.
“They are humans in the dungeon, and some people here don’t even know what a dungeon is.
If the pollution is not removed, they will not be free. You can save them for a while, but not for the rest of their lives. "
"If you can save it for a while, save it for a while. Using human sacrifices is stupid and cruel behavior. If the monkey god is really the god who protects the mountains, he will not accept this method of sacrifice." Bai Huo paused. For humans, His eyes are always full of compassion. Compared with the gods and Buddhas sitting high on the shrine, Bai Huo is more like the incarnation of the gods, walking in the world and saving all sentient beings.
His voice was as cool as spring water: "Perhaps the reason why the Monkey God was polluted is because of the resentment of human sacrifice.
Only the devil is poured out with blood, and only the true god is worshiped through sincere belief and advocating truth, goodness and beauty. "
"Perhaps, humans will always impose their will on things that cannot speak."
The gods and Buddhas on the shrines cannot speak.
They also have no way of choosing their own followers.
How many people use the name of gods to do evil things to satisfy their own selfish desires.
In the following time, Su Qingyu and Bai Huo went door-to-door to issue fines. Because they had paid attention to which houses had problems with firewood, they were very efficient in issuing fines.
Whenever the villagers expressed their willingness to hand over the fines to them privately, Su Qingyu could feel the prying eyes.
After they sternly refuse, that sight will disappear again.
After issuing the ticket, it was already time for the sun to set.
There were two stretchers placed on the big stone at the entrance of the village.
This place is not like the village. Occasionally, two villagers will pass by. There is a breeze at the entrance of the village. After the villagers carrying the stretcher put down the stretcher, they smeared the soles of their feet with oil and ran away quickly as if they had seen a ghost.
Those two stretchers gave off an ominous aura.
A stretcher requires two people to carry it. If it only relies on two trialists, it will have to be walked back and forth. By that time, the sun has set and the mountain has become very dangerous.
Fortunately, both Su Qingyu and Bai Huo have a weird contract.
Su Qingyu asked Wuxin and Yingluo to help, lifted them up and walked towards Qingyun Temple.
"If we are free tonight, we will ask your master about Xiaodie."
"good."
The two of them were halfway there. Although it was only about eight o'clock, the moonlight was already shining down.
The moonlight floats down like silk wisps, and each wisp is separated by a certain distance.
The first night they met the moonlight, the moonlight helped them drive away the annoying monkeys.
But when they went up the mountain, they walked away from the moonlight because they couldn't tell if there was anything weird about the moonlight.
After all, just because moonlight is lethal to monkeys does not mean that moonlight is not lethal to humans.
[Monkey God Mountain] Rule 8 of the ranger rules.
[In case of emergency, you can walk into the moonlight at night. The moonlight will dispel the haze in the mountains and forests and lead you out of the fog. 】
At this moment, the black-haired people who were lying flat on the stretcher suddenly began to twitch. They foamed at the mouth, rolled out their white eyes, and shook through the sheets.
Then, wrapped in sheets, he fell off the stretcher.
"boom--"
what happened? !
