Death Compensation

Chapter 738: Day of Mourning

Leaving the river, passing through the woods, we soon saw the dwellings.

Several people did not approach rashly.

Instead, he chose to go around and at the same time, send some people who are proficient in stealth skills to investigate intelligence information.

Calabash Taoist is naturally among them.

He sneaked into this small village, did not contact the people here, but quietly observed their lives.

Later, I found that the life here is quite affluent, there is no shortage of food and clothing, the elderly are supported, the young are educated, the poor are supported, and it is difficult to help.

Although there are ups and downs on everyone's face, there are still more smiles.

And in their daily conversations, there are more messages conveyed by temple wishers.

"The temple wishers can affect the weather to a certain extent, so the weather here is smooth all year round, and they can also travel and work according to the information given by the temple wishers."

From this aspect alone, the temple wishers have indeed done a good job and have a high prestige in this area.

Calabash Taoist even saw a person wearing a temple costume. From the moment he entered the village, he was greeted by many villagers.

That Miao Zhu also had a friendly smile on his face, and this smile was not fake.

From the sporadic conversations, we can know that this temple wish came from their village.

Every year, people will come to the village to test the people of the right age to see if they can inherit the power of the mountain god.

Once successful, they will ascend to the sky in one step and become strong with extraordinary power.

Later, the temple also issued a notice to be careful of strangers, saying that some cult members had come near Tianshan Mountain.

Once a stranger arrives, it is necessary to report to the local temple.

After telling the news, he still didn't forget to tell the villagers to be careful when they meet people, not to act rashly, and it's more important to protect themselves and so on.

For a moment, Taoist Calabash even felt that he was the villain.

But this kind of feeling was ignored by Taoist Calabash in an instant.

Even if he is really a villain, anyway, as long as he can achieve his goal, that's enough.

"But this kind of mentality can't be shown." Calabash Taoist thought in his heart, but he didn't let his thoughts out.

He has not forgotten that he is now in some kind of illusion that accommodates everyone's mind.

Every move I make will be included in some kind of assessment mechanism. Once I show my essence, then maybe I can complete my own power inheritance, and I will be out of luck.

So he can't just look at the appearance of this illusion, but should pay more attention to the inner symbol of the other party.

"Perhaps the background in this illusion is not as simple as simply fighting evil gods."

From the current point of view, there are two things that can be confirmed about the God of the Mountain. One is directly explained by the background. The God of the Mountain asks the world to sacrifice hundreds of virgins every year.

The other is that the mountain god is not as cruel as imagined, at least the surroundings under his rule are still in a smooth situation.

"It's interesting." Calabash Taoist didn't let his eyes rest on Miao Zhu, and after searching for some information, he quietly left the village.

As it stands, these temple wishes exhibit two abilities.

One is to envoy things, and they rely on this ability to fly out of thin air.

The other is to create things out of thin air, which can make things like weapons and even city walls.

These two abilities are very versatile, and if they are really used, they can exert unexpected power.

If the aristocratic camp is really devoted to temple blessings, then the power of their envoys may be a bit higher than these ordinary temple blessings.

He returned to the team and shared the information.

It immediately felt difficult.

They don't have any power now, they only have some fighting skills, and they are in a weak state in the early stage.

In this case, not to mention the meager strength of the individual, most of the local people are still close to the enemy.

To put it bluntly, they can mobilize a sea of ​​people at any time and beat them to death.

Among the three elements of heaven, earth and man, they seem to be all lost.

"However, since the crusade camp has such a big disadvantage in the early stage, it must have a greater advantage in the future!" Mustache comforted his teammates.

Then they discussed how to sneak into the city at the foot of the mountain.

They still have ways to bypass these villages or towns, but they will have no way to do so in the subsequent cities.

After all, the most important thing for them now is to sneak into the tomb group, obtain the so-called magic weapon from there, and master the power.

"It's not a big problem. I found an important piece of information before."

"That's the annual mourning day, and it will start in two days." Calabash Taoist said.

"This is a local festival, said to commemorate the miracles of the mountain gods and their sacrifices for the world, to mourn them."

"During this festival, many people will go to support Tianshan to worship, and there will be a large population flow in the surrounding towns and villages."

"We mixed in and used it to hide, so the problem shouldn't be too big."

After a pause, Calabash Taoist continued: "And there is another problem, that is, this is the only annual festival of this kind. Maybe this is not a festival to mourn the sacrifices made by the mountain gods at all."

Hundreds of boys and girls are sacrificed every year, and there is only one so-called mourning day every year. This exact situation is enough to explain the problem.

"This festival is a festival to mourn the hundred virgins!"

"That is to say, there may be hundreds of virgins transported from all over the world and detained in the city."

"They will sacrifice these boys and girls to the mountain gods in a few days."

"But from the conversations of the local people, they didn't mention this at all. It is very likely that most of the local people don't know what sacrifices will be sacrificed in this festival."

"If we expose this matter, it may cause riots and help us get the magic soldiers."

That's how the preliminary plan was decided.

Several people rushed on the road overnight.

After touching the situation a few times, they began to pretend to be people from other towns who went to support the Tianshan pilgrimage.

He successfully blended into the crowd and became inconspicuous.

It's just that this camouflage is still not perfect. They don't have identity documents, and it may be relatively troublesome to enter the city.

They have also made a budget for this. At that time, someone will cause riots outside the city, and they will take advantage of the chaos to enter the city.

However, the expected investigation did not come.

The entire city built on the hillside is decorated with lights and festoons, looking jubilant and festive.

There are no temple guards at the city gate, only some ordinary guards to simply ensure order.

They easily followed the pilgrims into the city.

After some investigation, I found out that this is a normal phenomenon.

Every once in a while, most temple worshipers and trainee temple blessings need to go to Support Tian Mountain to perform sacrifices.

It is said that only in this way can the Tianshan Mountain be stabilized, the Tianshan Mountain will not be angry, and the local weather will be smooth.

The first update, 2000 words, there are many things to do during the Chinese New Year, so the amount of updates is less, sorry.
