I sneered: "In your eyes, he is a god, but in my eyes, he is just an evil thing that needs to be killed!"
"But……"
Lili's eyes were hesitant, as if she was extremely afraid of taking me to find the gods.
"Don't worry, you just need to help me lead the way. If you are afraid of danger, you can leave after you reach the place where the monster is."
I said calmly.
"I-I'm not afraid!"
Lili stood up immediately and smoothed her messy hair: "Mr. Cheng, I will take you there right now."
After saying that, Lili and I left the house and walked downstairs.
At this time, most of the villagers were still performing their duties as village chiefs. Some women who stayed in the wooden building were busy cooking. When they saw Lili and I walking outside together, they didn’t dare to ask any more questions and just called. After saying hello, he continued to do his own thing.
Lili took me around the area where villagers gathered, along a stone staircase hidden in the weeds, winding upwards, and soon reached the halfway point of the mountain.
I glanced around and realized that this was the same hilltop where the village chief worshiped the gods yesterday. It was just that the road that Lili led me here was relatively hidden and difficult for others to discover.
The higher we went, the steeper the mountain road became. There was even a ladder set up near the top of the mountain. I asked Lili to follow behind. After climbing up, we finally reached the top of the mountain.
"This is the place where we worshiped the gods before."
After climbing to the top of the mountain, Lili hid behind me and whispered.
I nodded, glanced around, and found that the mountain was covered with vines. Outside the cliff not far away, the clouds were rolling, and a dazzling light was emanating from the clouds, dyeing the entire clouds. golden.
It seemed that this was the sun hanging in the sky of Wuyou Village. Only then did I finally confirm that this sun was indeed a counterfeit!
The reason is very simple. The real sun is hundreds of millions of kilometers away from the earth. Even if you climb to the highest peak in the world, if you can see the sun, you still need to raise your head and look up.
But this mountain peak is only about a thousand meters high. As long as I stand on the top of the mountain and look down, I can see the golden edge of the sun. What's more, this time the sun does not rise in the east and set in the west. It has always been fixed in one place. , so I can immediately conclude that the sun in the sky of Wuyou Village is a man-made fake!
If we want to use a metaphor, the entire Wuyou Village is like an artificial scene, and the sun in the sky is an incandescent lamp set above the scene!
"You stand here and don't move. I'll go over and take a look first."
I told Lili and walked towards the light source, wanting to confirm what the true form of the sun was.
But as soon as I took two steps, there was a sudden bang, and a sharp branch flew over and penetrated deeply into the soil under my feet.
Immediately, an old man in gray robes, holding a black cane, appeared from behind a rock and walked towards me.
This old man looked to be at least seventy or eighty years old. He had a stooped figure, a head full of silver hair, and the skin on his face was as dry as a plateau due to soil erosion.
"Boy, who are you to dare to disturb the gods?"
Walking up to me, the old man stared at me with evil eyes and his voice was extremely hoarse.
"Do you know who he is?"
I ignored the old man's question and just turned back to ask Lili.
"No, I don't know."
Lili shook her head: "I didn't see him the last time I came to worship the gods."
"ignorance!"
The old man shouted angrily and began to announce his home: "I am the guardian of the gods. This is a forbidden area for the gods. How can it be that you mortals can come and go at will? Why don't you leave quickly!"
I didn't move even half a step, I just smiled at the old man.
"Old sir, I'm a tourist from outside. I heard that the mountain god here is very efficacious, so I came here to worship. I hope it's convenient for you."
But the old man said in a cold voice: "There have never been any foreign tourists in Wuyou Village. I'd better keep these lies and go back to coax your children. Get out of here!"
My face also turned cold: "What if I must meet your so-called god?"
"Then you die!"
The old man shouted loudly and stamped his left foot on the ground. Suddenly, a huge crack appeared on the ground and spread towards where I was standing.
"Get out of the way!"
I pushed Lili aside, and at the same time I jumped up high, and hit the old man's head with the King of Martial Whip in my hand.
This old man is full of demons. I have long seen that he is not a good person, and now he is preventing me from finding out the truth. Naturally, I don't have to hold back on him.
Although this old man was very old, his movements were not slow at all. Facing the King of Martial Whip that I was slashing across, he raised his wrist and placed the crutch across his chest.
With a clang, King Wu's whip hit the crutch, making a clear and loud noise. I felt a numbness in the tiger's mouth, and quickly stepped back a few steps, and then I was able to stand firm.
Just when I stood still, I was thinking about using the talisman to deal with the old man, when suddenly there was a rustling sound from all around. I glanced out of the corner of my eye and saw those vines spreading towards me quickly as if they were resurrected.
Before I could react, vines spread from all directions and tightly wrapped around my ankles, preventing me from moving at all.
I quickly raised the King of Martial Whip and struck it on the vines, only to find that the vines were extremely tough and impossible to break.
"Boy, these are the black blood vines that I raised with my essence and blood. How can you smash them open at will? You should just accept death!"
As he said that, the old man walked up to me with a ferocious smile on his face, holding the crutch high in his hand.
In my desperation, I didn't have time to react too much, and I was about to release Xiao Hei, but suddenly there was a bang, and the old man swayed and fell straight down.
Behind him, Lili was holding up a huge rock with both hands, still breathing heavily.
I quickly released Xiao Hei and let him bite off the vines wrapped around my ankles one by one, and then I was able to break free.
"Lili, thank you very much."
I cupped my hands and expressed my gratitude to Lili.
Although she had been cautious before and was coerced by the village chief to seduce me just to save her own life, her current performance has already impressed me.
"Mr. Cheng, you're welcome."
Lili smiled shyly and waved her hand.
"Now we are comrades in the trenches. As long as we can destroy that monster and get us out of here, and I can help you a little, I will be very happy."
"Well, this is not just a simple favor, but it saved my life."
I smiled, looked down at the old man on the ground, and found that his head was covered in blood and he had completely fainted. I didn't pay too much attention and continued walking towards the light source outside the cliff.
