Violent Swordsman in the Fast-Travel World
Chapter 77 This world full of ghosts 16
When Shen Yuanfeng and Shangguan Yuchen returned to the small building, the Lu brothers and Xu Ruoxuan were already in the hall, but the group that collected folk culture had not returned yet.
"You are back too, the only one missing is the captain and the others. They are so slow." After taking a look, Xu Ruoxuan continued to slump in the chair. He felt so bored. He didn't find out anything and didn't know when these villagers would take action. He was itching to get his hands dirty.
Speak of the devil, and he appears. As soon as Xu Ruoxuan finished speaking, Jiang Haichuan, Bai Shuyun and Jiang Tiantian also came back.
"Xu Ruoxuan, your voice can be heard at the door. What if a villager happens to pass by? Do you want to expose us?" Jiang Tiantian glared at Xu Ruoxuan with a bad face. She didn't want to be exposed because of her companion's carelessness.
"Besides, we have gained something. What about you? Have you found anything?"
Faced with Jiang Tiantian's arrogant attitude, Xu Ruoxuan became embarrassed. He was indeed a little careless, and he didn't find out anything, so he didn't have the confidence to argue.
"Oh, what did you find?" Shen Yuanfeng asked.
Jiang Haichuan and Bai Shuyun looked at each other and gave the right to speak to Jiang Tiantian, who was obviously quite interested.
"We walked around the village again in the morning and found that every household was busy with something. After careful consideration, we chose Hua Pozi who lived by the river as the breakthrough point."
"At first, Mrs. Hua would chat with us, but after a while, she was busy making paper-cut objects, saying that they were needed for the mountain temple. It was obvious that she wanted to send us away."
"Every household is busy working, and it doesn't look like anyone has had any accidents in the village. It's obvious that there's some event going on that needs us urgently. All I can think of is the mountain god festival. They're anxious to use us as sacrifices within these two days."
The more Jiang Tiantian talked, the more she felt that this was the case.
"You guessed it right. They want to sacrifice us tonight."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to Shen Yuanfeng. It seemed that both of them had gained a lot.
"The village chief invites us to dinner at his house tonight. It's the one with two courtyards." Shen Yuanfeng said meaningfully.
"Hongmen Banquet?" Xu Ruoxuan's eyes lit up.
"And the location of the dinner is also very interesting. They chose the courtyard with the most houses because they were afraid that someone would miss out and escape." Bai Shuyun stroked his chin. He hadn't encountered such a plan for a long time.
As the eldest brother of Xuanmen, there were many people who wanted to pull him down. He could not keep his position only by relying on Xuanshu, so naturally he had to go through a lot of intrigues.
"Then we just need to be tied up obediently tonight and let them take us to the mountain temple. Then it will be time to fight back."
Jiang Tiantian's words made everyone more motivated. The past two days of having the ability but being unable to resist made them hold their breath, just waiting for the moment of explosion.
Shen Yuanfeng was fine, she got the beatings she deserved and the stimulation she deserved, but she still owed the two ghosts at the temple gate, so she could collect some interest tonight.
In the evening, the village chief and his family greeted them with smiles at the gate of the courtyard. Shen Yuanfeng and eight others also walked over with gratitude. The two sides greeted each other in a harmonious and friendly atmosphere. Anyone who saw it would feel that the host was hospitable and the guests were grateful and polite.
"Come here, these chickens and ducks are all raised by our village. They are the pure wild free-range that is advocated now. These vegetables are also grown at home. They are all natural and without pesticides. And this fish is caught in the mountain stream. It is a species unique to our place. You must eat more. Don't be polite."
The village chief greeted them warmly, wishing he could help them put the food in their bowls.
Everyone had smiles on their faces, but they were complaining in their hearts. Pure natural and wild products are indeed pure natural and wild, but although pesticides are not added, other things have been added.
Before coming, everyone had taken the universal detoxification pill given by Shen Yuanfeng. For fear that the village chief's family would notice something, everyone ate it with big mouthfuls.
The effect of the drug has worn off, so why not eat the free food? Instead, not moving your chopsticks will arouse suspicion.
Eight people happily rushed to pick up the food. Although they were fast, their postures were not awkward.
The village chief's family was smiling at first, but as the eight people kept picking up food, they didn't feel like falling down at all, which made them very confused. Why wasn't the drug working?
Finally, after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Shen Yuanfeng began to feel drowsy and close their eyes.
The village chief and his family finally breathed a sigh of relief, as the man had finally collapsed.
"Quick, go inform everyone in the village that it's time to hold a mountain god festival."
Shen Yuanfeng secretly took note of the bumps along the way. His fingers trembled slightly, but he forced himself not to swing his fist.
Oh, why not tie them up and let them walk up the mountain? They will definitely cooperate. Now they are carried like cargo, and among them are two girls. It's really unkind to them. No wonder there are no young girls in this village.
The group carried offerings, shouted slogans, and soon arrived at the mountain temple.
The ghosts who had gathered in a circle in front of the temple were all staring at Shen Yuanfeng and the other eight people who were being offered as sacrifices with wide eyes.
The paper-made items and other items were placed on the open space in front of the temple gate, while Shen Yuanfeng and others threw them in front of the statues in the temple.
Shen Yuanfeng woke up when she was thrown into the air. She opened her eyes in a daze and looked around. Seeing all kinds of strange ghosts, she let out a scream.
The screams also woke up the other seven people who were pretending to be unconscious, and they began to wake up one after another.
"Where is this? What are these things? Why are we tied up?"
"Ah, it's the monster from last night!"
"Aren't we having dinner at the village chief's house?"
"Stop, stop arguing, you are all sacrifices to the mountain god." A monster with a bull's head and a fish's mouth shouted.
The voice sounded very familiar. After thinking about it, they found that it was the same as the village chief's voice.
"Village chief?" Shen Yuanfeng was shocked.
The village chief responded proudly, and couldn't wait to show off that all his villagers had obtained the secret of immortality.
"Yes, it was me. This was all thanks to a strange stone that fell from the sky in our village more than 500 years ago. Many wonderful things happened afterwards. The master confirmed that it was a divine object, so our whole village built this mountain temple to worship the divine stone."
"Some merchants from outside said that there are ghosts everywhere eating people, but the ghosts in our village never eat villagers. Gradually, our bodies have also changed. Sixty years have passed, but we are still the same as we were then."
"What a surprise! The emperor wanted immortality, but we got it."
The monsters transformed from the villagers of Fengshan Village all looked fanatical, just like brainwashed cult members.
"Until a hundred years later, the god stone turned into a statue and sent out divine voices, asking us to sacrifice a young man and woman every year."
"There are eight of you. I don't know which one my God will choose. I can only ask you to come before the statue one by one and let my God choose. This is your honor."
The village chief waved his arms and stared at everyone with a look that said, "Don't be ungrateful."
"Village Chief, I think my God doesn't like that dead girl. Why not..."
Another monster suddenly spoke up and interrupted the village chief's speech.
