Dressed as an abandoned daughter of a wealthy family, she relies on metaphysics to become a god

"I do not have……"

Xue Long was unable to defend himself, words were so pale, perhaps everything he said now was wrong.

The guards found a pair of iron ropes. There were no criminals in Jose Country, and Xue Long didn't know what it was.

I saw one person pressing down on his shoulders tightly, while the other person put an iron rope around his neck, passed it through his armpits, and tied his arms tightly behind his back.

His feet were also shackled, making it particularly awkward for him to walk, and he could only move forward in small steps.

There seemed to be iron wire on the rope, which was extremely rough, and Xue Long's hands and feet were soon bleeding.

But the guards would not sympathize with him. They walked forward with big strides, and if Xue Long walked slowly, he would be kicked a few times.

It all happened so fast that Xue Long was still completely confused. He couldn't understand how he could go from being a king admired by everyone to a prisoner in just one day?

A bitter taste spread in his heart, and he bit his lips to barely suppress a cry of pain.

This was also his first time to come to a place outside the Kingdom of Jose. Even the air was like a sharp knife, constantly cutting his skin. Even the simplest breath would make him feel extremely painful.

After walking for an unknown distance, Xue Long's consciousness gradually began to blur, and the two guards had to drag his body forward.

He heard a guard ask: "The mountain is ahead. Let's put him at the entrance to the mountain and leave him to fend for himself."

"But what if he runs out and starts doing evil again?" another person said hesitantly.

"What do you propose?"

"How about this, we cut off his hands and feet, then he can't run away, and this way we can save some energy."

"You're right. We can't let this evil go."

They drew their long swords, but these two swords were just accessories. Without the sharpening of whetstones, the blades had long been blunt.

The two guards did not give up. Hatred had already consumed their hearts, but where did that hatred come from?

Perhaps, they themselves can't figure it out.

Xue Long, who had lost his hands and feet, was thrown into the valley by them. After doing all this, the two immediately returned to the country of Jose.

Everyone was celebrating for the new king. The oil lamps at the banquet burned for seven days and seven nights, and everyone enjoyed sweet fruits and pleasant performances.

On the night of the eighth day, the trees growing along the Peacock River began to wither.

At first, the fruits fell from the tree before they grew to mature size, the lush leaves began to turn yellow and wither, and many black-shelled pests grew inside the trunks.

Soon after, people discovered that the gems on the river bank were no longer bright and colorful, but had become gray and would crumble into powder with a slight squeeze.

The drought lasted for more than a month, and the José people's stored water was soon used up, so they had to fetch water from the Peacock River.

However, the river water also became turbid and emitted a foul odor.

People who drink river water will start to feel weak in their limbs, dizzy, and have severe abdominal cramps within three days, and some will even start vomiting blood.

People in Jose's country never get sick and there are no doctors. No one knows how to heal others, and they can only watch their friends die.

There was no food or clean water. In less than half a year, the country of Jose had become a tragic scene with starving people and corpses everywhere.

What’s strange is that since some day, Joseph’s body has disappeared.

Those who survived could only eat tree bark and insects to fill their stomachs every day, and they had no energy to collect the bodies of their compatriots.

But suddenly, one third of the corpses piled on the ground disappeared, and even the streets were no longer as smelly as before.

People thought that God had begun to favor the Kingdom of Jose again, so they took out the little food left in their homes and began to offer sacrifices and celebrate.

At this banquet, everyone had a small bowl of "earth porridge" in front of them. It was made from wet soil from deep within the river bank mixed with river water.

This was the experience they gained at the cost of countless corpses. Most of the soil in Jose Country was similar to sand and was simply impossible to swallow. The upper layer of mud on the river bank was mixed with gravel, which could easily scratch the internal organs if eaten.

Only the wet soil three feet below the river bank can barely be used to make porridge.

Although the porridge in the bowl was particularly watery, everyone still cherished this hard-earned food.

People began to sing and dance as they did in the past, and the musicians' instruments had long been rotten beyond recognition, so they tapped the table with their palms, sometimes lightly and sometimes heavily, as if they could still play the piano.

They celebrated all night, and when it was daytime, someone suddenly shouted.

"It's cloudy outside! It's going to rain!"

People rushed into the courtyard regardless of their own safety, and just as the man said, black clouds were floating in the distance.

"Great! Finally, I have water to drink!"

"Our troubles are over!"

"Go get a container of water!"

Pots, pans, and utensils were scattered all over the floor, and some people even took out the plates.

They were waiting excitedly for the rain to come. Some closed their eyes and opened their mouths wide, wanting to drink the first drop of sweet dew.

The rain fell gently.

However, it was not clear and refreshing rain, but thick blood.

The Jose people stared at the sky in astonishment. Along with the blood rain, countless things that looked like minced meat fell.

People wailed in despair, and many of them wanted to die. Living in such a purgatory would be worse than dying.

But the disaster did not let them off easily. Someone hit his head against a hard rock and soon became motionless, with his body temperature rapidly dissipating.

But he was not dead, even though he had lost control of his body, he was still conscious.

He saw his friends falling on him, but not to mourn, but to start tearing at his flesh.

The pain was so severe that it felt like someone was pulling his nerves, but he remained awake and watched people eat his body.

Soon, the cannibals also fell to the ground, and their bodies seemed to exude an incredible temptation, tempting others to taste them.

"Later, the entire Jose Kingdom was destroyed. The fertile land sank, leaving only a huge pit, and the Peacock River was filled with poisonous miasma." The old woman continued, "And all this was because of 'Xue Long'."

After being thrown into the valley, Xue Long did not die. Instead, due to his deep resentment, he turned into an unknown ferocious beast.

His hatred engulfed the entire Kingdom of Jose, and only the mountain where he lived grew higher and higher, as if absorbing all the land of Jose under its peaks.

There was no one living on the other side of the mountain. About 20 or 30 years later, a doctor who traveled around to practice medicine discovered this place.

This place is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is backed by high mountains and there are streams and springs not far away.

The traveling doctor settled down here, and people from the nearby villages would come to see him from time to time. After a while, they found that this was indeed a good place, so they also moved here.

These people established a small village, and after several generations, the population of the entire village had reached thousands.

What’s strange is that from time to time, some children with physical disabilities are born in the village, and these children suddenly die before they reach the age of twenty.

Even the doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with these children until a sorcerer came to the village.

"Your village is being targeted by a vicious beast that lives in that mountain," the Taoist priest said. "It hates humans and will curse unborn children. If you want your child to be born healthy, you must build a temple for it."

"What kind of logic is this? He persecuted our children, and yet he wants us to build a temple for him?" The villagers shouted, "If those poor children knew about this, their souls in heaven would not be able to rest in peace!"

The Taoist priest spread his hands and explained helplessly: "The enemy is strong and we are weak. Even if you want to fight him head-on, no one in the entire village can match him."

In desperation, the villagers had to build a small temple according to the Taoist's advice, and the Taoist named the temple "Xuewang Temple".

On the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month, the villagers would go to the Xuewang Temple to offer sacrifices to an animal covered in blood, as well as dozens of fruits and wheat ears.

As expected, no disabled children were born in the village, but some people still died suddenly without any warning. Their faces looked peaceful and tranquil, as if they had fallen asleep.

However, the alchemist had left the village for a long time, and the other villagers didn't know what to do. They could only pray that misfortune would not befall themselves and their families.

Soon, the villagers discovered that every household in the village had more or less people who died young, but there was only one family with four generations living together, and from the elderly to the little children, they were all alive and well.

The family's surname is "Xue", and all of their wives are girls from other places.

The villagers suddenly realized that if they changed their surname to Xue, they would be treated as one of King Xue's own people, and thus be spared the curse of sudden death.

This curse will only befall those who were born at the foot of the mountains. If you are a migrant from other places, you don't have to worry about it.

Gradually, everyone in the village changed their surname to "Xue", and the mountain behind Xuejia Village also got a name - Xuejiashan.

"According to what you said, they are all Xue Long's descendants, so how could they be cursed to death?" He's mother asked in confusion.

The old woman laughed strangely a few times, then raised her eyes and said, "Do you think Xue Long's resentment is so easy to calm down? The reason why he didn't kill people before was also related to the Xuewang Temple. It was built by a Taoist master to seal him here."

After all, Xue Long was once the ruler of a country. It would be a thousand times more difficult to seal him than to seal an ordinary evil ghost or murderer.

The people who sealed him only suppressed most of his evil spirit and used talismans to confuse his mind, trapping him in Xuejia Mountain and preventing him from coming out.

Just a few years ago, a landslide occurred in Xuejia Mountain, and the Xuewang Temple was hit by the falling rocks on the mountain, and the seal inside was broken.

When the rescue team arrived at Xuejia Village, everyone was stunned by the tragic scene before them.

The village was not hit by the falling boulders, but the entire village was killed.

They fell on their own stoves, on the way to the fields, or by their beds. Everyone had a peaceful yet somewhat weird smile on their face, which was creepy to watch.

There were no wounds on the bodies of all the dead, and the rescue team speculated that they might have eaten some poisonous food.

But this idea was quickly overturned. They all died around five in the morning, and most food poisoning reactions occur within an hour of eating. Five in the morning is at least nine hours after dinner time.

Moreover, no poisonous substances were detected in the deceased's bowls, chopsticks and leftovers. The food in each family is more or less different, and there are several kinds of staple foods. It is even more impossible that the death was caused by consuming the same poisonous substance.

Since there was no problem with the food, the forensic doctor began to consider the miasma and low temperature in Xuejiashan.

However, the miasma of Xuejia Mountain only exists in the deepest part of the valley. Due to the obstruction of the rolling mountains, the miasma cannot spread to the Xuejia Village side.

The average temperature on that day was around 26 degrees, which did not meet the criteria for hypothermia.

The case became an unsolved case, and other residents who lived farther away also moved away.

To this day, the old woman is the only one living alone within a radius of several kilometers.

He's mother also wanted to know why the old woman stayed here. She changed her mind and thought that since the old woman knew so much about Xuejia Village, it was very likely that her relatives also lived in Xuejia Village.

She didn't want to make the old woman sad anymore, so she didn't ask any more questions.

The old woman opened her cloudy eyes and asked slowly, "Why, do you want to enter Xuejiashan too?"

He's mother was shocked. The old woman's left eye had a normal white, but the eyeball of her right eye was completely black. The left and right were clearly black and white, but the pupil in the middle was a cloudy gray, which made people feel scared.

"I'm telling you, there's something strange about this mountain." The old woman lowered her voice, "Several geologists went in before, but only one escaped, and he kept saying he would come back. They all came back."

The surviving expert had nothing with him, even his backpack and expensive equipment were left in the mountains, and the only thing he took was a videotape.

There is no signal in Xuejiashan, the magnetic field is extremely chaotic, and almost all instruments are unusable.

Their mobile phones cannot make calls or access the Internet.

"Then, where is the videotape now?" He's mother asked nervously.

That videotape truly records the geographical features of Xuejiashan. If I can study it myself, it will be much easier to conduct scientific research in the mountains.

The old woman laughed and said, "You ask me, how can I, an old woman who never leaves the house, know?"

He's mother immediately decided that she had to find the videotape first before entering Xuejiashan.

Unfortunately, she asked around at the local geological institute, but no one had heard of the videotape. Even she herself began to doubt whether the old woman had made it up to trick her.

Time passes day by day, and the hot summer is soon approaching. He's mother can't wait any longer, otherwise she will miss the good opportunity to go into the mountains this year.

One morning in late July, she sneaked into Xuejiashan without telling anyone.
