After being read by the mind, my apprentice wanted to rebel
Chapter 24 Sacrifice
Lin Xian'er and the other two stopped and walked along the way. One day, they passed a remote village. They had planned to fly directly to it, but they found that they could not use spiritual energy, not even the sacred artifact Dragon Roar Sword. To understand the situation, the three pretended to be ordinary passers-by and slowly approached the village.
As soon as they arrived at the village entrance, a group of villagers rushed out and stopped them.
Seeing this, Lin Xian'er hurried forward and said, "Brother, we three siblings somehow got lost and ended up here. It's getting late now. Could you please let us stay for the night?"
The villagers were unwilling to let outsiders into the village. Tomorrow night was a critical moment for the survival of their village. If anything unexpected happened, no one could take responsibility. They were about to stop them from entering the village.
The village chief ran over from not far away and said, "Okay, put it down, put it down." He turned and looked at Lin Xian'er. Well, although it's a little ugly, I'm sorry, girl, you brought it up yourself, he really couldn't help it. "Girl, I'm sorry, our village is quite closed, and no one has seen outsiders very often. I'll take you into the village, and you can stay at my house tonight. It's not easy for people in the countryside to make a living, and there are not many empty rooms at home. Erya, come, take the three of you home and let your mother treat you well."
Erya could guess something from the way her father ran over in a hurry and excitement. She looked at Lin Xian'er and thought, "Alas, she is not as good as her other two companions." She sighed and took the three of them in.
Lin Xian'er vaguely guessed from the looks of the two men what they needed her to do, but she always felt unhappy in her heart, as if the other party was not very satisfied, and a little humiliated. What was the point? This was the first time they met.
After Lin Xian'er and the other two left, the villagers kept talking at once, all with one meaning: they hoped the village chief would kick the three out, as their village could no longer withstand any more turmoil.
Village chief Zhao knew the situation in the village very well. He had to sacrifice his daughter just because of this. Why should all the villagers morally blackmail his daughter just because he was the village chief? No matter what, he had decided to keep these three people. Since he had to sacrifice a woman, it had to be the one who just came in.
Although the other villagers felt sorry for the girl, it was better than killing their own family members. They would burn incense for the girl every year and blame her for her bad luck in coming to their village at this time.
Lin Xian'er and the other two had just arrived at the door of Village Chief Zhao's house. Before they even set foot inside, they were pushed back by Aunt Zhao to a position one meter away from the door.
Erya quickly pulled her mother aside and explained her father's plan for a long time. Aunt Zhao gave Lin Xian'er an ambiguous look. She couldn't bear it, but she had no choice but to do as the head of the household said. She said coldly, "Come with me."
As soon as they entered the door, Lin Xian'er and the other two heard crying and looked at each other.
"Auntie, someone in your family is crying. What's going on? Is he being bullied? Although the three of us brothers and sisters are not masters, we still have some skills. You are kind enough to take us in, so we have to do something to help you, otherwise we will feel guilty," said Lin Xian'er.
If the problem was so easy, why would they choose this method? Aunt Zhao was heartbroken, but now there was a solution. She did not answer Lin Xianer's words, but took the three of them to the main room and said, "I'll get you some food, you sit down for a while," and then went to the kitchen.
【Tongzi, do you know what happened here? 】
[Host, this place didn't exist in the original plot. According to the plot, the hero should now be imprisoned by Lin Xian'er at the foot of Xianyun Peak.]
Is there murderous intent? Lin Xian'er looked around and saw nothing unusual. Was she overthinking it?
After a while, Aunt Zhao and Erya brought some food over. "Hurry up and eat. These are some crude meals. Please don't mind."
To avoid attracting the attention of Aunt Zhao and the others, the three of them grabbed chopsticks and ate. The taste was hard to describe. Lin Xian'er forced herself to swallow, wanting to be left alone. She needed a gastric lavage; it was too uncomfortable. It was true that it was easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Because there were not enough rooms, Lin Xian'er and Erya squeezed into one room, and Qi Miao and Xie Qijun shared a room. The night was peaceful.
The next morning, Lin Xian'er went out for a stroll outside. Village chief Zhao "kindly" arranged for Erya to follow her to prevent her from getting lost. Their village was neither big nor small.
Lin Xian'er expressed her gratitude and took Erya out. When the villagers saw Lin Xian'er, they whispered to each other and then quickly moved away.
Is she so scary? Lin Xian'er asked Erya to take her to the mountains to pick some wild fruits to eat.
Erya, who had originally thought that she would not be able to pick wild vegetables today and could not help her family, suddenly became full of energy and immediately took Lin Xian'er to the small hill nearby.
As soon as they arrived at the mountain, Erya stared at Lin Xian'er. Before leaving, her father repeatedly warned her not to let anyone escape, otherwise Daya would have to be sent in. She didn't want Daya to go.
This was too obvious. She was not a fool. If she wanted to escape, she would have already done so. Lin Xian'er said helplessly, "Go pick some wild vegetables nearby," pointing to the large rock nearby. "I'm a little tired. Let me rest here for a while."
Erya thought about it and realized that she was picking wild vegetables nearby and could see Lin Xian'er at any time. Without thinking much, she picked up her small basket and picked up wild vegetables and fruits, but she would look at Lin Xian'er from time to time to make sure she was still there.
Lin Xian'er sat down and asked the system to sense the situation of the village. She bought a lot of functions for it when she returned to Xiaoyun Sect last time.
[Host, this village seems to be connected to the ghost world, and it's quite close. There's something there that blocks spiritual power, which is why you can't use it.]
So these villagers were acting like this because of the ghost world. Were they trying to send a sacrifice there? Damn it, Lin Xian'er had never imagined that she would one day be a sacrifice.
[Host, why don't we run away? Even if we don't have spiritual power, with pure force, if we run away now, the villagers here won't be able to stop you.]
Lin Xian'er was torn between whether to flee or not. According to her past experience, meddling in other people's affairs would lead to death, so the best thing to do at this moment was to simply leave. However, looking at the villagers not far away, they were so innocent. Why should they bear this crisis?
Even after Erya finished picking wild vegetables, Lin Xian'er was still feeling down. Back at the village chief's house, Xie Qijun immediately noticed Lin Xian'er's mood was off. After lunch, the three of them gathered again to discuss the clues they had discovered that morning.
"I walked around the village and found that almost all the villagers were avoiding me, whether they were adults or children. They all had expressions of fear on their faces from time to time," Qi Miao said first.
"I heard them mention tonight, and I believe there will be results tonight." Xie Qijun knew that Lin Xian'er must know more. Her expression was not right. Could it be a very tricky matter?
Alas, Lin Xian'er sighed deeply. "I don't know the villagers' specific thoughts, but there should be a passage connecting this place to the ghost world. Tonight, these villagers must want to offer a sacrifice to avoid the torture of the ghost world."
What? Qi Miao and Xie Qijun were both shocked. They had never thought about the ghost world, especially Xie Qijun. In his previous life, he had struggled to climb to the position of Demon Lord and rarely encountered the ghost world. He only roughly knew that the ghost world did not want to have anything to do with other planes.
"What are you going to do?" Xie Qijun's thoughts in this life were similar to Lin Xian'er's. He was unwilling to put himself in danger again and developed in a wretched manner.
"What should we do? We cultivators have the obligation to protect ordinary people. Now is the time for us to stand up." Qi Miao was worried deep down. They couldn't use spiritual power here, and if they couldn't use it in the ghost world, would the three of them be at the mercy of others? But his sense of justice did not allow him to retreat.
Fool, Xie Qijun didn't want to talk to Qi Miao at all. People with different ideas cannot work together, and there is no point in talking if they don't agree.
Qi Miao and Xie Qijun were both waiting for Lin Xianer's answer.
[Damn it, those two guys' piercing eyes are giving me so much pressure. Can I just run away?]
Xie Qijun felt relieved. As long as she wasn't a pushover, it would be fine. But the next second, he heard Lin Xian'er say, "How about we stay and see what happens? If things go wrong, we'll run away immediately."
Although he was a little unhappy with Lin Xianer's reply, Xie Qijun was not surprised. This guy was the typical one who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. He always said that he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but he did it every time.
