Chapter 574

Looking at the sky, it is gloomy, and a heavy rain is coming soon.In this barren mountain, under the torrential rain, there is a great possibility that mudslides will erupt again.Xiang Wan stepped up, she didn't want to be drenched or buried alive.

The good news is that she is far away from Wuming Village, and there will be no more heavy rains there.

Luck walked quickly for dozens of miles, and the road ahead was a relatively flat hilly area.There is a small stream meandering there, and there is a village on the bank, which is built by the water.

Walking across the stone bridge, a man in a hurry rushed straight into the village with his back on his back and without raising his head, as if he didn't even hear Xiang Wan shouting loudly behind him.

One side of the sky was completely covered by clouds, and the heavy black clouds connected to the mountains, completely covering the entire village.

There was no wind, and the air was oppressive and suffocating.

Xiang Wan frowned, followed the man's direction, and walked into an ancestral hall on the west side of the village.

The ancestral hall was already full of people, men, women, old and young, all looking towards the center of the ancestral hall.There, there stood a hideous stone statue, and next to the stone statue was written "Shenjun Yanlang" in big gilt characters.

Getting closer, Xiang Wan heard the people on the outermost circle muttering words, "Birth, old age, sickness and death, life is impermanent, Yan Lang Shenjun, change his fate against the sky, dedicate his soul, obtain eternal life, be free from disease and disaster, bless the family, God's lord calm down! Birth, old age, sickness and death ,impermanence of life……"

Look at their faces again, all of them are expressionless and their eyes are expressionless.

After saying this three times for about a quarter of an hour, a cool breeze came in from the gate, and the leader at the front shouted, "The god appears, the sacrifice begins!"

"God appears!"

"God appears!"

The others yelled three times in agreement, and a pregnant woman was pushed out and lay down at the foot of the stone statue.

The leader took out a pair of copper bells and walked around the pregnant woman, shaking the bells every three steps while chanting words.

After three laps, the leader stretched out his hand, and someone beside him offered a bowl of bright red chicken blood.After the man took it, he drank it in one gulp and squirted hard at the pregnant woman.Blood was sprayed all over the pregnant woman's body. Instead of anger, she shouted excitedly, "Bless God", and then drew a black dagger from the side, holding it tightly with both hands, pointing the dagger at her belly, waiting for the leader's order. Down, it is necessary to stab down.

"Ms. Zhang, the god summoned the youngest son and took him in as a boy. From then on, all your family members have been blessed by the god, and you can all be ranked in the immortal class after death. Your son is deeply blessed, and blesses Xihong Village without any disasters. , your family will surely have a good death. The power of the gods is boundless, Mrs. Zhang, hurry up and send your son under your seat!"

The leader fell to his knees with a "plop", and the rest of them put their hands on the ground, and said in their mouths, "The magic power of the god is boundless, take the boy under the seat!"

The pregnant woman raised her hands slightly and stabbed violently at her stomach.

With a "dang" sound, the black dagger was cut into two sections in the middle, and the blunt tip was stabbed on the belly. The pregnant woman couldn't help but screamed "ah", then let go and threw the dagger aside.Her stomach suddenly moved vigorously.

"what happened?"

Seeing this scene, everyone stood up one after another, with different expressions.

The leader's face suddenly turned ugly. He walked around the pregnant woman, picked up the dagger, looked carefully at the cut, and then turned his eyes to Xiang Wan.

"Foreigners, what's the purpose of destroying the sacrifice in my Xihong Village?"

Everyone turned their heads and saw Xiang Wan, and their expressions immediately became grim.Some of them were so powerful that they even took out the daggers hidden in their waists.

Xiang Wan frowned, holding the exorcising sword with both hands, imitating the appearance of the stone statue, and said in a loud and majestic voice: "Stupid! When will my lord need an unborn baby? My lord clearly wants you! "

He stretched out his hand and pointed at the leader impartially.

The leader is a middle-aged man in his 50s and [-]s, with a slightly fat body, an honest and honest face, and very small eye slits. A little pretense gives people a very trustworthy feeling.

He is Hong Tianze, the village head of Xihong Village, and he is also a good man in the villagers' mouth.More than ten years ago, Xihong Village was hit by floods. Hong Tianze got a fortune somehow to help the villagers rebuild their homes.Later, a plague broke out in the village again. Hong Tianze knelt down at home to worship the Lord Yanlang, and later invested in the purchase of medicinal materials, so that the villagers could get through that difficult period safely.

The villagers were very grateful to him, and when they happened to see him worshiping a Yanlang God who appeared out of nowhere, they didn't believe it at first.Later, whenever there was a minor illness, after bowing down like Hong Tianze, it didn't take long for him to heal.After many deeds like this, everyone in the villagers began to believe in Lord Yanlang and appreciated Hong Tianze's help to them. Not only did he elect him as the village head, but even some things they couldn't ask for, they would entrust Hong Tianze to communicate with Lord Yanlang .

If Hong Tianze vigorously promoted the magic power of Lord Yanlang to the villagers from the beginning, I am afraid many people would still question it.But instead of publicizing it, he advised the villagers not to seek help from Yanlang Shenjun too much.

People have a rebellious mentality, the more you don't let him go, he will do it anyway, and in turn blame others for having something good to hide so that no one will know.

This Yanlang God Lord will basically satisfy the villagers' small demands as long as they ask for them.When the requirements were not met, Hong Tianze began to ask the villagers to pay a certain price in order to let the gods help realize their long-cherished wishes under the pretext of dreaming.

First, a bachelor kills a chicken to woo the girl he likes, and the girl gets married the next day.If someone's child is seriously ill and they don't have money for treatment, just a little blood will be enough.Over time, the more the villagers asked for, the greater the price they paid.What is incredible is that everyone is accustomed to such behavior, not only does not question it at all, but also develops pathological dependence.

Ordinary life is as usual, as long as anyone speaks ill of Lord Yanlang or sabotages the sacrifice, he will be killed by the furious villagers.

In the mountains behind this village, many strangers who do not believe in Yanlang Shenjun are buried.

Xiang Wan hadn't noticed it before, but when she got here, she scanned it with her spiritual sense and already had an idea.These people were either brainwashed or controlled by Hong Tianze or Yanlang Shenjun using special means.Otherwise, how could a pregnant woman who was about to give birth have the heart to kill the baby in her belly?
This Lord Yanlang was the mastermind behind the scenes, but Hong Tianze, the man who worked for the tiger, was not innocent either.

Hong Tianze had already walked in front of him. He retracted his fingers from Xiang Wan, and his voice resounded throughout the entire ancestral hall: "Hong Tianze, you have been working for me for many years and have won my heart. Now that the disaster is approaching in Xihong Village, I lack a capable assistant. Last night, I specially asked a dream , let him present himself in front of my statue today. I didn’t expect, Hong Tianze, that you dare to tamper with the divine decree of this divine king without authorization. Do you know your sin?"

The last four words sounded like thunder in the ancestral hall.At the same time, a bolt of lightning illuminated half of the sky above the head, and a "bang" of thunder exploded above the head.Xiang Wan swung his sword, and the sword light flashed, splitting the stone statue in half.

This operation was carried out at the same time as the thunder in the sky. In the eyes of everyone, it was as if Xiang Wan attracted lightning and broke the stone statue.Being impartial, only the stone statue was damaged, and the pregnant woman under the stone statue was not hurt.

Lightning illuminated Xiang Wan's furious wave of hands, as if a god was angry.

Everyone was shocked, and they knelt down and kowtowed, shouting, "God, please calm down."

Hong Tianze was furious, and at a critical moment, someone messed up the situation. I'm afraid that the god is really going to make trouble for him.

So, he shook the copper bell, gritted his teeth and said, "The gods never call me by my real name! Foreigners who pretend to be Yanlang gods will be sent by heaven!"

Hong Tianze shook the bell anxiously, muttering words in his mouth, which made people lose their minds.

That's it!

"Dog slave! Shame on you!"

Xiang Wan's eyes changed, and the sword edge slashed in front of him, "click" and "click", the copper bell broke into two pieces, leaving only two handles still in Hong Tianze's hands.

"Prevent the catastrophe with your life, Hong Tianze, as the head of Xihong Village, dare to lay down your life for the people?"
