"Hey! Look! This girl is so pretty!"

"That's right! That's right! What a pity that I have to offer it as a sacrifice to the mountain god, otherwise I would have to go back and become my son's wife!"

"Auntie Wang! You're so outspoken! If the mountain god hears you, won't he punish you?"

"Pooh! Pooh! Pooh! Lord Mountain God, I was wrong. I will never do it again!"

When a group of villagers were chatting and laughing, the woman called Auntie Wang suddenly knelt down in fear in the direction where Jingshu was lying, and kowtowed repeatedly to admit her mistake.

"Where...where am I? Why does my head hurt so much?!"

Jingshu was awakened from her sleep by the sound of kowtow. Perhaps the amount of the drug was too large, and she still felt dizzy and had a headache after waking up.

Seeing Jingshu, who had just been teased by them, wake up, everyone thought that the mountain god had appeared and asked the saint to punish them. They all knelt on the ground and kowtowed with Aunt Wang.

Jingshu was flattered when she saw this. She quickly got up from the bed and tried to help everyone up, but her legs went weak and she stumbled and fell to the ground.

Finally, he pushed his still weak and dizzy body to the door and asked, "Where is this? Why am I here?"

"Saint! This is Black Rock Village!" a woman replied.

Jing Shu looked at the respectful crowd, feeling puzzled. She asked again, "Saintess? What Saintess?"

"This one……"

"The Patriarch invites the Saint to move!"

Jingshu was taken to the council hall in confusion. Looking at the dilapidated village and the ragged villagers along the way, she was very puzzled and thought that maybe the patriarch would give her the answer later!

"Saint, please!"

"Are you the clan leader? May I ask why everyone calls me the Saint?"

The patriarch did not answer in a hurry, but poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Jingshu. Looking at the steaming cup of tea, the fragmented memories before she fainted suddenly emerged.

The conversation between the peaceful and kind-looking woman and the harmless young woman echoed in my ears over and over again.

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. She didn't believe that she was drugged and brought back to be worshipped and treated like a saint with good food and drink!

"Saint, just call me Luo Cheng! As for the question you asked, it's not a secret. In our Black Rock Village, we elect a Saint every year to serve as our messenger to communicate with the Mountain God. The Saint's status in Black Rock Village is extremely respected, and even I can't go against her words!"

Jingshu asked in confusion: "Why me?"

The clan leader pondered for a moment, a sly look flashing in his eyes as he said, "Well... originally, the candidate for this year's Saint had already been chosen, but the original girl wasn't as pretty as you. I thought the mountain god would like you more, so he replaced her!"

"How can you choose a saint so casually? Aren't you afraid of punishment from the mountain god? Besides, I'm not from your village. I think we should let the original girl continue to be the saint!"

"Saint, please don't refuse. If there is nothing else, please go back and have a good rest! We will hold a sacrificial ceremony tomorrow, and you will need to be very attentive!"

After the clan leader finished speaking, his expression suddenly darkened, and he shouted to the outside, "Someone, send the Saint back to prepare for tomorrow's sacrifice!"

Then Jingshu was inexplicably invited back to the room by a group of people. As a knowledgeable person, she felt that these people's attitude towards her did not seem to be respect, but more of an attitude towards her identity.

Here, the identity of a saint does not seem to have any rights like in the outside world. Instead, it gives people the feeling of being... a lamb to be slaughtered!

"Things are getting more and more interesting. Let's see what tricks they can come up with tomorrow!"

In the silent night, no one came out to move around, and there was only the roar of wild beasts coming from far away.

The night watchmen of Black Rock Village are stationed in every corner. Having experienced countless attacks by evil spirits, they have long been accustomed to these things, just like drinking water!

Before dawn, Jingshu, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by a group of women. She reluctantly sat in front of the dressing table and was dressed and dressed by a group of women of the same age.

A red dress, pearls, jade and other gemstones. It is hard to imagine that in the Black Rock Village where everyone is dressed in rags, there are such gorgeous clothes.

Although the texture of the fabric was indeed much worse, even the clothes Jingshu wore on a daily basis were much softer and more delicate than these fabrics, but this was already very surprising to her, and she became even more curious about the sacrifice!

"What a pretty girl!"

Hearing the envious praise from the woman who was helping her comb her hair, Jingshu turned her head and looked. Wasn't this the woman who had drugged her yesterday?

"You're beautiful too! How about... I let you be the Saint! You happen to be from the village too, so the mountain god should like you more!"

The woman suddenly looked as if struck by lightning, her expression became much duller, or it would be more accurate to say that she was frightened. Seeing that she didn't say a word, Jingshu felt bored and stopped talking to her.

A woman next to him smiled and said, "Before you came, she was the saint chosen by the clan leader!"

"You're talking nonsense! How can my appearance be compared with that of a saint?"

"Good! Good! Good! You're so lucky!"

Looking at the two women whose words were full of sarcasm, Jingshu became even more curious about the sacrifice. Perhaps when the sacrifice began, these confusing doubts in her heart would be answered!

After one stick of incense, the sacrificial ceremony officially begins!

All the villagers in the village stood outside in an orderly manner. It seemed that the saint today was more majestic than yesterday, but that was only because of her identity.

Jingshu, who was used to wearing silk and brocade on a daily basis, felt as if there were pins and needles under her feet when she walked. After taking a few steps, she felt a rubbing pain all over her body.

Just when he was about to break free from the two girls who were supporting him, he found that their hands were holding him tightly. It seemed that this was not support, but confinement!

"I was careless!" Jingshu said to herself secretly!

As soon as I walked down the stairs, I saw someone carrying a sedan chair. This would save me some walking. After all, walking in this outfit was worse than death!

After an incense stick of time, the sedan chair stopped. When Jingshu stepped out, she found that they were on the shore of a lake. She thought to herself, "These wild people are quite interesting. They knew how to choose a good feng shui site to hold the sacrificial ceremony!"

Just as Jingshu was still sighing at the refreshing breeze and air here, a man shouted, "The sacrifice begins!"

As the sacrifice began, a group of villagers from Heiyan Village chattered and muttered some incomprehensible words, as if it were a spell that was obscure and difficult to understand.

Only Jingshu was standing stupidly on the shore. If she took a step forward, her shoes would be wet by the lake water!

"Prayers begin! May the Ghost Yin Mountain God bless Black Rock Village!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two tall and strong men suddenly walked out, walked up to Jingshu with a fierce look, grabbed her arms, and the other two brought a cage woven from bamboo and rattan!

"This...this...so-called prayer is...immersion in a pig cage?"
